Chapter 135: Towards the Surface People, Expedition 2
The four of them knew about going out on a crusade against the surface people before the magicians and mercenaries in the settlements - on the way back, Skyle told the Dream about his next plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The remaining surface people are more dangerous than the demonic beasts that were originally on the Sunset Grassland, and they must be annihilated. She mainly wanted to inquire about Dream's intentions - whether she wanted to stay in the city or go out to crusade against the surface people.
Of course, Fantasy Dream is more interested in going out. Although the huge amount of mana in the Yin-Yang Jade Ball was enough to fill many mana balls, it was still nothing compared to the magic power of those great magicians, and it was not interesting to stay in the city all the time...... The surface people are no longer going to attack this place again, they have lost the power to attack.
Not to mention Sunset City, even those mines, the surface people have no intention of attacking. Skyll ordered the mines to come to a halt, and the mages and mercenaries stationed there were on guard, but the surface people did not attack them.
Their forces have been so dispersed that it would be suicidal to attack a well-defended mine alone, and there is a risk of being wiped out in a large group. The people of the surface knew that their actions were likely to be under the surveillance of Skyle, so they deliberately scattered and broke out, spreading their strongholds all over the Sunset Prairie, and what they could do now was to cause as much damage to the floating continent as possible, and the specific and most effective way was to attack the small group of lone floating continentals, or rather, the airships flying in the sky.
There were several large strongholds along the airship's route, and these strongholds were more advanced and equipped with long-range firing cannons, which fired into the sky whenever the airship passed by—with a fairly reliable accuracy. The mages who escorted the escort discovered the existence of these cannons in time, and used their magic shields to protect the airship - if they were hit, they might be shot down.
Even the magicians who escorted the escort were quite magical, and they were quite helpless in the face of such a cannon bombardment - there were several strongholds, and they had to defend against several shells, and from time to time, some flying mechanical beasts came to wreak havoc. In the end, the airship had no choice but to fly around the original route.
This is a kind of submission to the surface people, a kind of helpless performance. Although the mages were in a bad mood, they knew that Skyle was already thinking about how to deal with them as quickly as possible.
When Skyle arranged the magic ball, he naturally took special care of those strongholds, even if he couldn't destroy all the people, at least those cannons had to be solved.
However, the direction in which the Dream group was heading was not over there—that side was east of Sunset City—but on the west side.
The monsters on the west side are more fierce and powerful than the ones on the east side, but the surface people with the mechanical beasts obviously don't take these as an important reference factor - or rather, it is because of the danger that they have chosen to arrange most of their strongholds there.
There must be a lot of surface people there, and the team she's part of is to wipe out all the strongholds within the predetermined range - all the strongholds that come across.
After all, no one knows if there are still surface people hiding underground and not coming out...... However, let's clean up the enemies on the ground first, and let them go will never work.
