  "Heave ho, everybody! One, two!"

  "Wah! Wah!"

  "One, two!"

  "Wah! Wah!"

  "Lazy ghost, use some strength! Slap!"

  "Wah wah wah!"

  ……

  On the ruins of Grey Castle, a strange scene appeared. Under the gaze of countless people, a group of dog bears were pulling a long rope, just like the trackers who pulled boats in the canal, taking difficult steps forward. The other end of the rope was connected to the floating Mithril Core Engine Room, which had been damaged in the collapse, including the propulsion system, and now had to be pulled by manpower... or rather, animal power. Little Griselda held a nine-tailed whip, occasionally cracking it twice, urging the reluctant dog bears to pull harder with a queen-like demeanor.

  Mr. Viney, the great Druid, was attired in his most dignified black coat and red trousers, with a bright red cloak flowing behind him, and a high white top hat on his head; he sat complacently on the organ loft, occasionally removing his hat with a paw, and waving it to the people below. If one did not look at his shaggy bear's face, he had quite the air of another Uncle Sam.

  "Ah, following the "Kung Fu Guardians", Mr. Vinnie was once again bought off by the evil alchemist with a blank check for the "Druid Special Airborne War Chariot". The ignorant Mr. Vinnie happily accepted Fili's sugar-coated cannonballs, without realizing that under his butt was an existence that could instantly disintegrate anything, nor did he know that General Nohm was planning to build an airborne office building and villa in Emon Harbor based on this thing, to match his new title as the commander of the Riel War Zone..."

  Mourn for the great Druid who is still riding in the air and having a beautiful dream.

  "Well, good. It seems that as long as the nuclear core doesn't leave the control room, it won't self-destruct." The alchemist, who was lying down behind a small hill in the distance and had set up a pile of protective magic for himself, was cautiously observing the Great Druid and the super-dangerous item similar to a nuclear bomb under his butt through binoculars. Seeing that his multiple deception targets hadn't disappeared into a mushroom cloud as he had imagined in his worst-case scenario, Phil Taylor let out a long sigh of relief. These days, finding an honest person to deceive was even harder than finding a three-legged frog! It was still best to rely on the hardworking and long-lived good people."

  He put away the telescope, brushed off the grass and dust on his body, and was about to return to Zena's villa when a sudden sense of foreboding prompted him to lie down again. Several bullets whizzed past the edge of the magic shield, flashing a burst of spiritual light.

  "Fog Arts!" Fili immediately wrapped himself in a white mist, hoping to disrupt the enemy sniper's aim. However, the next moment, a Web Technique was cast over him!

  "Damn it, they have a wizard too!" Phil cursed as he blew away the spider webs with a gust of wind, but also dispersed the cloud that was shielding him. As soon as the interference disappeared, dense anti-magic bullets came pouring in like raindrops, and the number of enemies far exceeded Phil's expectations. The magic shield flickered non-stop, on the verge of reaching its limit.

  "Anti-gravity spell!" Fili's heart ached as he crushed another gem, and immediately rolled out like a cannonball into the air, avoiding most of the bullets. Before the gunners could raise their guns, the alchemist had already become a small black dot in their line of sight, far beyond the range of the guns. And the mages among them seemed to be stunned by this unprecedented spell, completely unable to react in time.

  "We barely dodged it." With the magic effect ending, Feili timely activated Feather Fall and slowly descended from thousands of feet in the air. The mountain valley below was already in chaos, with the bear dogs dropping their ropes and fleeing while screaming, and the soldiers who were still clearing the rubble searching for cover to hide. At the entrance of the mountain valley, a small-scale army was lined up in a neat line formation, pouring firepower with volley fire while advancing to the beat of drums. Each row fired and then retreated into the ranks to reload, continuing to advance as the next row opened fire, followed by the third, fourth row, until the first row opened fire again, an endless barrage that kept the hastily responding defenders from lifting their heads.

  "Mole? Solerton's accomplice?" Looking at the familiar gray military uniform and six-pointed star flag of the enemy, Fili immediately confirmed their identity - the Imperial Regular Army stationed in the Great Lakes State. Had the elf spy already infiltrated the New Continent Legion to such an extent that they could mobilize an entire army for their own use?

  Mr. Vinnie, dressed similarly to Uncle Sam, was now alone in the low sky 30 yards off the ground, an ideal target. After one round of shooting, the rebels raised their guns and opened a dense barrage on the big dog bear in mid-air, and Mr. Druid's thick bear skin immediately suffered a metal storm. Although the rebels only shot lead bullets that were not enough to penetrate Mr. Druid's skin, it was enough to make Mr. Vinnie furious because his new ride fell from the sky and his clothes were all shot through with holes.

  With a loud "clang", the druid sprang from the edge of the room, snatching down a remaining steel pipe and leaping into the rebel ranks with a fierce cry. Although he was equally skilled in many magics, the heavily beastified - to many, petrified - druid preferred close combat. The dense formation was instantly smashed by the steel pipe, sending blood flying everywhere. Relying on his bulletproof bear skin, the druid charged forward fearlessly, howling as he went. The bayonets that stabbed at him slid off harmlessly, while the druid's iron pipe crushed any unfortunate soldier who got in its way, sending them screaming into the air ten or more feet high.

  Soon, the pipe that survived in the landslide was overwhelmed and broke, and the Druid directly used bear palms to fight, seeing that the stabbing knives were useless, the rebel soldiers immediately shouted and scattered.

  "You fool, how could you let the enemy get away?" Looking at the big stupid bear standing there like a wooden stake. Letting out a triumphant roar at the fleeing rebels, Feri suddenly felt anxious and furious, activating flight magic to rush towards the battlefield, hoping to rescue him.

  As expected, the rebel army regrouped and immediately fired a hail of dispel magic bullets at Da De Rui, but Da De Rui seemed to have learned some experience from the bitter battle in Glorious City and applied Stone Skin to himself in time. Dispel magic bullets can break through many magical barriers, but their effect on physical defenses is very limited. Sparks flew off Da De Rui's body, but the actual damage he took was not great. He roared and picked up a large boulder, ready to throw it at the rebel army.

  However, among the rebels there were also mages, and two powerful acid arrows quickly shot towards Grand Druid with the anti-magic bullets. Viniton, who was just getting excited, suddenly got hit — after all, he wasn't an excellent soldier who could always stay calm on the battlefield. The acidic liquid corroded a large piece of petrified bear skin, causing Grand Druid to drop the stone and scream loudly, his sturdy body also curled up in pain.

  Another burst of gunfire came, this time the great Druid was really hit by several bullets. Fortunately, his body was huge and he couldn't die for a while, but his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Just as the rebels raised their bayonets to expand their gains, a string of linked lightning exploded above their heads. Although the wizard's protection limited the damage, it was enough to stop them in their tracks.

  A barrage of bullets and magic shot towards the pink figure in the sky, only to be neutralized by the Stone Skin technique and the mage's shield. After suffering some minor injuries, Phil felt a bit intimidated and immediately pulled up his altitude, then retaliated with enchanted metal rain. In his opinion, such an attack should have annihilated or dispersed the rebels below.

  Unfortunately, the regular army with mages was not comparable to ordinary bandits. The several gusts of wind magic from the mages accompanying the army blew away these miniature bombs, and only a few rebel soldiers standing at the edge were injured. On the other hand, the defenders who were sniping from the ruins of the floating city suffered an unjust disaster, being knocked down by the stinky cloud and flames.

  However, the Great Druid also took this opportunity to roll away and escape. Seeing Vynette was rescued, Fili also withdrew from the battlefield. He found Charlotte outside a small wooden hut behind the ruins and landed down.

  "What's the situation?" Fili asked urgently, "Do we know who is attacking us?"

  Charlotte spread her hands, "I don't know anything, the attacker seemed to have dropped from the sky." He pointed to the villa area behind him, where gunfire and explosions were constantly ringing out, "The meeting place was also attacked, the enemy seems to have many good hands, the bodyguards of the dignitaries are fighting with them, I broke through to seek help, didn't expect there were enemies here too..."

  "What can we do?" Fili exclaimed in alarm, "Isn't there any way to seek help from outside?"

  "The distress signal has been sent out, but where can it come from in time?" Charlotte smiled bitterly, looking at the enemy who had already crushed the resistance of the garrison and was approaching here over the ruins of the floating city. "Neither side can hold on, let's find a place to hide first, several politicians have also fled to the mountains."

  Ferli's heart was racing and he almost agreed, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that his girlfriend was still here!

  "Where's Lainy?" Phil suddenly turned around and grabbed Charlotte's collar. "Has she left?"

  “Th...” Charlotte, who was being held by the collar, tried to push Ferri away but struggled for a few moments before failing. “I don't know either, she might still be in the rear...” Before he could finish speaking, Ferri let go and pushed him away. The anxious alchemist lightly tapped his boots again and took off into the air once more, heading towards the direction of the intense gunfire in the villa district.
