"Pull up the anchor and get ready to take to the skies! Let everyone come up! What about Lena? Where's Lena? Bai Ye ordered angrily. The boatmen scurried to their feet, sending the captain's orders to all parts of the airship, and the rest untied the cables that held the boat in place. There was no suitable landing pad in the wilderness, and the Reverse Scale barely came to rest on a potholed gravel ground, and as the ropes were loosened, the hull swayed slightly, and the people on deck staggered, and from time to time the shouts sounded from the boat.

Approaching the Reverse Scale was a silver airship, and less than two seconds after the warning from the lookout was issued, the hunting ship burst into the sight of everyone on deck. The bright silver boat was like a ghost of the day, magnifying in the sight of the Shadow Hunters. Against the backdrop of the sky and clouds, the speed of the ship's shadow seems to be slow, but it is actually frighteningly fast. The bow of the ship was pointing in the direction of the scales, as if it had already locked their position.

Bai Ye realized that he had not revealed his whereabouts along the way, and even his contact with other Shadow Hunters was extremely careful. The hunters only took some risks when they set up a raid, but the smoke and dust on the Reverse Scale had long since cleared. With the speed of the airship, if it attracts an unexpected enemy, the other party will never wait until this time to choose to show up.

Listening to the chaotic voices on the deck, Captain Reverse Scales leaned in front of the captives and grabbed the collar of the bear's nose tightly: "Hell, what the hell did your hunting group provoke?" ”

There is no such thing as a "friendly ship" in the underground world, especially in the depths of the hunting ground where supplies are cut off, and the probability of two ships rushing to meet is as high as 90%. It can be seen from the fact that the grizzly hunters found out that the Reverse Scale was wrecked, and the first thing they thought of was to get off the ship and loot the supplies. Right now, the Reverse Scale was quietly docked on the ground, its fragile air tanks and decks unreservedly exposed to the incoming ship's field of vision, but most of its shipboard weapons were in a dead end. As long as the Reverse Scale does not rise to the same height as the other party for a moment, it will be a lamb to the slaughter in the eyes of the approaching silver airship.

"Ahem......" The neckline was suddenly tightened, the face of the bear's nose quickly turned red, and the poacher coughed in pain, and forced a tough smile on his face, "Why do you have to blame us?" I'm afraid that if you don't do a clean job by yourself, who will target your tail. ”

As Kaede said, if you want to feed a hunting ship ancestor at this time, it is not the fellow Shadow Hunters who suffer, or the union facilities near the destination. Even an airship with a special design like the Reverse Scale can't be left alone, and the Grizzly can go to such a depth with the endurance of a small airship, and I don't know how many means it used along the way.

Poachers who break through borders are a swarm of hungry locusts, and even if they only walk through the territory in vain, the number of hunter camps and supply depots will be innumerable.

"Captain, I'm back!" Lena made her way onto the deck, sweaty, and said in a frenzy. The female craftsman had a layer of black engine oil on her hands, and she had just rushed off the work table: "The screws of the tray are only half installed, what should I do next?" ”

"Don't worry about the tray, let the airship fly right away!" Bai Ye looked up and estimated the speed of the airship in the distance, and hurriedly ordered.

"No offense, your boatmen are very good, but how long will it take to lift off - five minutes?" The grizzly captain interrupted, and he snorted at the sky, the silver boat approaching like a meteor, "That's not enough." ”

When the fuel is delivered, the power furnace must be kept completely extinguished, and at this moment it is hurriedly opened, and the air chamber and propeller need to be warmed up for a period of time. However, the propellers of the opposing ships were much quieter, and they were faster than the power furnaces that most poachers could touch, and the opposing side was menacing, giving the Reverse Scale no chance to warm up.

"Feng Shui takes turns...... That's what it means! The grizzly leader smiled happily. The bear's nose was tied all over, and only his head and neck could move slightly, so he shook his head gently, "I didn't expect to see such an embarrassed look of the reverse scales." ”

"Want to negotiate with them? You should have noticed that it wasn't a fellow airship. Looking at the white night with a twisted face, the prisoner continued with a relaxed attitude, "It's not the royal ship, or it's the union's—but this is Ryan Yelu, and it doesn't make a difference who it is. Grizzly is a small hunter, and he didn't have the face to let the kingdom's warships follow all the way, and that ship is eighty percent here to find you. ”

"What about this guy and those guys under the boat?" Ignoring the grizzly leader's noise, Lena hurriedly asked. Before the ramp of the cargo ship could be raised, Rhino and Senluo, who were guarding the ship, frequently signaled to the deck, "Do you want to kill them?" ”

"You won't!" Seeing the fierce light in the eyes of the purple-clothed hunter, the bear nose suddenly shouted in a strange voice, "I've heard of the reverse scale, you have never been in the habit of killing, that's why there are so many enemies in the underground world!" How about breaking this ring on the grizzly bear today? ”

"No need to ......" The silver boat came closer, and there was a hint of fierceness in Bai Ye's eyes, and the silver battleship in his sight had become the size of a walnut, "See that silver cross on the air chamber, right?" You should know what that means—"

"Hey! Wait a minute! Other! Suddenly seeing the emblem painted on the ship's air chamber, Captain Grizzly's tone finally turned into horror. He kicked under his feet, but was dragged to the side of the boat by Bai Yelian, exposing most of his body to the ship, still pleading, "Please, kill me...... Kill me! I don't want to be caught in the prison of the Knights! ”

"Thank you for the information and fuel before, and in return, I'll let you live well." White Night whispered in the grizzly leader's ear. He grabbed the bear's nose's feet and lifted them out of the boat, and the strong man of more than 100 catties tossed on the railing, and rolled down the deck, "I gave you to the union knights, and I should be able to hold them back for a while—a dozen poachers who tied their hands and feet, even the union knights, couldn't be indifferent." ”

"Oh......" The purple-clad hunter shrunk his shoulders and whispered to the Shadowhunter who had already fallen to the deck, "Don't worry, the Knights should be able to heal you—if you can survive until then." ”

The boat's air compartment gradually swelled open, and the main propeller slowly rotated, as if it was about to take off forcibly in a state of insufficient lift. The dust sealing on the deck is a task for the boatmen to keep the preparation time for liftoff as short as possible. Although the timing of the Guild Knight's appearance under the Emerald Tower seems somewhat inexplicable, it is now more important than anything else that the Guild Knights are not only ordinary poachers on board the airship, but also two fugitives who have been convicted of union felonies.

"Captain, if you leave the land like this, you may be in danger of crashing!" Seeing that the speed of the propeller was sometimes fast and slow, and the lift that should have been gradually accumulating was now intermittent, Lena said urgently.

"There's no time left, do you want to die in the explosion of the airship, or be caught in the guild's courtroom, humiliated in front of dozens of hunters, and then hanged in the wilderness where no one knows about it?"

The purple-clothed hunter pursed his lips, strictly speaking, if the shadow hunters died in the current position, they also belonged to the "wilderness that no one knows". However, she still nodded vigorously: "Fight...... Takeoff! Take off! ”

Several hidden flares rose from the lookout, and the pilot in the command module hesitated for a moment, but still pulled the airship's joystick to the end. The boat staggered and lifted three or two meters from the ground, and the air chamber sank before falling back to the bluestone-paved pothole.

As if sensing signs that the Scales were trying to escape, the silver airship in the distance sped up again, the tail end of the propeller pulling a clear white trail in the air. But seeing two fires lit up at the bow of the ship, followed by a slight "poof" two sounds, Bai Ye's face changed, and he shouted: "On the deck - hidden!" ”

"Boom, boom!"

One of the Black Shells landed less than twenty meters out of the side of the ship, and the other went over the roof of the Scale's cabin and crashed down on the other side of the airship. With two explosions, the shallow layer of soil on the ground of the ruins and the foundation of the bluestone slab below were lifted up in one fell swoop.

"Damn...... This distance ...... "Lena hid behind the railing, making sure that no third shell had fallen, before raising her head. The Knights' boats were still far out of the range of the Shadow Hunters, and even if the Reverse Scale could take off smoothly, the hunters would not have the slightest chance of fighting back, "Still fighting a ghost?" Just surrender and forget it! ”

"Wait a minute," Bai Ye grabbed the purple-clothed hunter's arm and pointed to the crater on the side of the ship that was still smoking, "It's not a school shot, they did it on purpose, and the guys on the ship don't seem to be aiming at us." ”

As soon as the words fell, two green signals rose from the lookout of the airship, the speed of the silver boat did not decrease, and the smoke of the signal flare was drawn into two oblique thick lines in the air, as if two scribbles by a child.

"Want to dock? Are they serious? Lena rubbed her temples vigorously, but she didn't see any change in the color of the flares, "These guys from the Knights can't be crazy, right?" ”

"I don't know—" Captain Scales smacked his lips, Rao was well-informed, and he had never heard of the most extreme members of the Hunters' Guild actually taking the initiative to stop fighting with the poachers. If it weren't for the fact that the Knights had never had a ship taken, the Ironclad Hunters would have thought that there was a team of Shadow Hunters in the airship.

"So what now?" The huntress scratched her head and asked, "Let these guys come over?" ”

"Their naval guns can hit us at that distance," Bai Ye shook his head, "the initiative is in their hands, since the Knights don't want to fight us, just let it go and see what these guys want to do." ”

"You mean...... Put it within the range of our naval guns, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack? ”

"There are too many differences in the level of hunting gear, and they don't need to play tricks." Bai Ye stood up and threw dust off his body. Guild knights never negotiate terms with their enemies, which is a well-established practice in the hunter world. Risking such taboo encounters with poachers, they may really have a reason other than fighting.

Delaying time and getting close to the battle are both beneficial to the Scales, and anyone with a little knowledge of air combat knows this, and those who can ride the airship of the Silver Cross are no exception. The other side voluntarily gave up its advantage, perhaps precisely for the sake of a temporary ceasefire.

"Don't force it into the air anymore, preheat the power furnace normally, and be ready to take off at any time. Call the lookout tower and the weapon compartment to keep on guard, the other party is not without the possibility of changing the fortune. White Night added ordered.

The silver boat circled over the Scale's head, slowly lowering in altitude and hovering a hundred meters away from the Shadow Hunters. A rope ladder was thrown down from the open hatch, and under the watchful eyes of the observers on the lookout, a hunter reached out from the hatch and landed neatly with the rope ladder.

The moment they came to the bottom of the Reverse Scale, the visitors of the silver airship felt several scorching glances when they boarded. Lena and Ah Dong each crouched on the commanding heights on the deck, and the eyes of the two heavy crossbows crossed, completely enveloping the retreat of the future.

The visitor was dressed in a linen-colored cloak, and his chest was open, revealing the silver cross insignia inside, and there was no doubt that he was a knight of the Guild.

Seeing his captain fall from the deck and land on the side of the ship, the members of the grizzly hunting group on the ground were angry and desperately surrounded Rhino and Senluo, and it took a lot of effort for the two strong men to restore their calm. At this moment, before the gangway of the airship could rise, Rhino and Senluo were standing on it.
