New Century Warriors

Chapter 25. Let's make our appearance!

"Buhou! My defenses!"

Antoura started running immediately.

Although he didn't quite understand, Lei Ye guessed that one of his old teammates had gotten into trouble again, and he started running right behind Antorola.

When they arrived at the so-called Zone One, the wild dogs outside had already crossed the defense line and started attacking the city wall. Lei Ye had been wondering what methods they could use to damage this solid stone wall, and now he knew that the damned wild dogs were actually digging holes underneath!

And it's so fast!

This seemingly foolish attack method was actually quite effective, because these otherworldly beings were never very good at building things, and their foundations were never very deep. The soil in Hillius was also relatively soft, making it easy to dig holes and bury people.

At this moment, mages from other areas arrived to provide support and immediately launched an attack on the wild dogs below. Although they successfully killed them, the explosion seemed to have made the crater below even larger.

Ugh...

Is this really a minor boss that plunges the entire city into crisis? The battle scenes are far too disgraceful.

What Raino was originally looking forward to was a more decent, imposing battle, like first exchanging insults with a majestic armored older sister on the front lines, Raino using his superb rhetoric and sexual harassment to break her defenses, then she shouts and transforms, with all sorts of evil spirits appearing, and in the grand scene of thousands of enemies, Raino uses the magical artifacts at hand to stylishly defeat them.

This was so different from what he had imagined.

Let's take a look at the magician lady beside us.

Oh, isn't that Elena?

She looked so haggard after just a few days. If Maria hadn't run over and called out her name, Raino wouldn't have recognized her.

She was emaciated, like a dried-up human body that had been drained of its life force, extremely weak.

She couldn't even properly answer the various questions Antorola posed to her.

Lei Ye quickly discovered the blind spot. The name shouted by the observer on the tower was Loya, but where was Loya? All he saw here was Elena, who was exhausted of magic power. She couldn't even be considered a high-level mage.

He looked around but didn't see the person. The only place nearby where someone could hide was in the room in the tower.

Approach and knock on the door.

Impatient voices immediately came from inside.

"I already told you I'm in the bathroom, it's so annoying, I'll be done soon!"

This birth.

...

—Ten minutes later.

In a room in the tower, after a brief meeting, Lei Ye learned about Hillius's current defense mechanisms.

First, the city wall is divided into more than a dozen areas, each with a senior mage, a substitute mage, an observer, and a logistics staff. This personnel arrangement is the optimal solution that Antorola has practiced over the past five years and is very reliable.

But now a problem has arisen.

War criminals, step forward!

"Loya! Did you play something wrong this time?!" Raino asked.

When her name was called, Loya's eyes darted around. Judging from her expression, Lei Ye could imagine that she was trying to come up with some excuses, but with everyone else around her staring at her with unfriendly expressions, she couldn't say them out loud.

Loya sighed, "Um... I made a mistake with my typing."

"There's no need to blame Miss Loya too much. She's quite reliable at work. It's just that she goes to the bathroom a bit too often. That's human nature, there's nothing we can do about it," Elena, who had regained some of her energy, said, trying to smooth things over.

"Well, that means you can't generalize about people's physical constitutions..." Loya immediately responded.

She herself admitted that Elena was actually helping her wash.

Lei Ye glanced at Elena in surprise. Although he couldn't understand why this victim would speak up for Loya, there was no point in continuing to pursue the matter.

He took a small gadget out of his storage bag and handed it to Antorola.

"The timer is just a small gadget. Although it might not be very useful in this battle, it can be used to keep track of time in various areas. If we still need to defend the city walls, then it would be best to set a new rule: each mage cannot spend more than five minutes in the toilet at a time, or they will be heavily fined!"

From then on, there would never be anyone paid to defecate on the city wall again. Loya looked like the sky had fallen, her elf face crumbling.

Ignore her.

Immediately afterwards, Raino took out one of the magical items he had carefully selected from his storage bag and handed it to Antorola.

"This is a magic-powered composite bow. Its performance is quite good, and it requires very little magic power. Using this magical item, not only warriors who are not good at magic, but also ordinary people with a little magic power can easily draw it and fire powerful arrows. What do you think?"

Antoura tried it out, her face showing surprise, but she shook her head.

"Actually, there are many excellent archers in Syllis. Even without external assistance, they can fire arrows with extremely high lethality. It's just that at this height and at this distance... even the best archers from the great forest would have a hard time hitting them. The speed of the evil familiars is too fast."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ye looked at Luo Ya with suspicion. She came from the Great Forest, and judging from her guild card, she seemed to also work as an archer.

"Look, what are you looking at me for... This is for real, it's really hard to hit!"

Okay, I'll trust you this once.

However, this magical item is already the best solution among the weapons Ye Lei allowed, if it is not feasible.

We'll have to bring out that one.

Lei Ye felt a little excited when he thought about the things Ye Lei had given him in the storage bag before he left home that morning.

He silently went outside, but couldn't find a large enough open space on the city wall, so he quickly ran down the stone steps, asked the surrounding staff to leave, and cleared a space.

Under everyone's gaze, Lei Ye slowly opened his arms and took out the engagement gift his girlfriend had given him.

—Buzz.

When it appeared, dust billowed up, accompanied by a fluorescent blue teleportation-like effect.

When the smoke and dust cleared, its presence obscured the view of everyone present.

Looking at this fantastical creation, Lei Ye was deeply moved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to proudly introduce Miss Ye Lei's groundbreaking masterpiece—the Ravenwing Magic-Driven Airship!"

That's right, an airship! And Raino's favorite black and gold color scheme, it's incredibly cool.

At first glance, it looks like a craft item, not something that can fly, but Ye Lei says it can fly, so it can fly.

"Such a massive creation can actually be stored in a storage bag?" This was Antorola's first surprise.

Ordinary storage bags simply couldn't hold it all, but what could he do when Lei Ye's girlfriend was one of the top engineers at Hillius? The first thing she showed Lei Ye was a special storage bag that was different from ordinary storage bags.

Lei Ye boarded the airship with a delighted expression.

He had just taken his first step when the airship suddenly made a sound, startling Lei Ye.

(A little tune played at an accelerated pace)

It's been a long day.

"Without you, my friend~"

This was definitely not Lei Ye's own clever idea; he would absolutely, positively not set this song as the boarding music for his airship.

It must have been a little design by Ye Lei, who has a peculiar taste in music.

Raiye stood nervously in the middle of the gangway, too afraid to go up or down, when he was blocked from behind by Loya, who had somehow caught up with him.

"Wow, that's amazing! Boss Lei, what kind of magical artifact is this? It's incredible!"

Loya's big eyes were filled with immense shock, like a medieval villager seeing an airplane for the first time.

Behind her, Antorola, Maria, and the others also let out small gasps of surprise and followed hesitantly.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it.

The deck was spacious enough to accommodate many people. Lei Ye went straight to the bow of the ship and took something out of his own storage bag.

A controller.

This was something that had been gathering dust with his little notebook. Since it was an item he brought from Earth, he hadn't paid much attention to it until yesterday when he checked the inventory and discovered that the controller had been modified. A large piece of magic stone had been embedded in it, turning it into a controller for some kind of magical artifact.

In addition, Raino also found a video hidden by changing the file extension in the folder containing the online classes. In it, Raino from Line 2 recorded in detail how to use it to control the flight of something.

Raino turned around, made sure everyone was on board, then channeled magic into the handle and pushed the lever.

The spaceship did not move.

He suddenly felt a cool sensation in his crotch, as if a breeze had entered his pants.

Lei Ye frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

...

"Boss Lei, what's that?"

Just as Lei Ye was stunned, Luo Ya exclaimed from behind.

Lei Ye turned his head and saw a sign that read "Flyable Nationwide" standing not far away next to Luo Ya.

Next to it was a small room. Lei Ye ran over and immediately recognized it as the airship's cockpit. He crawled inside and took a look. There were only a few control sticks inside. Ye Lei had already marked the corresponding control sticks for forward or backward, takeoff or landing.

This time, Lei Ye pulled the lever, and the airship steadily 'floated' up amidst everyone's exclamations.

As expected of Ye Lei's design, the difficulty of operation is simply at a baby level.

In contrast...

Raino glanced at the controller in his hand, his feelings complicated.

"Found you, hook up," he said softly.

"Fantastic! Boss Lei, with this, we can try to take the initiative while ensuring our safety! Boss Lei, you've been a huge help!"

Antoura's approach interrupted Lei Ye's thoughts. He nodded, silently pushed the control stick, and slowly guided the airship over the city wall and into the war zone.

We can think about the flying sword later; let's get down to business first.

Perhaps it was because that wild dog had successfully broken through that line that made Keboros conclude that this route was a weak point in the defenses. Just as Lei Ye crossed the city wall, he heard someone shouting.

"Everyone, hold your cheers! Enemy attack—! Two more familiars have appeared!"

"Damn it, why are the attacks so frequent today?"

"A mage! Is there a mage on the airship? Ah, Miss Loya is on the airship too! Great! Please come this way, the shooting angle here is excellent. Quickly cast your advanced magic and blast those two vile minions away in one go!"

No... Now, whenever Raino hears the name Loya, he just feels it's unreliable.

Lei Ye hurriedly ran out of the cockpit and stood with the others at the edge of the deck looking down at the ground. Sure enough, there were two wild dogs running at high speed.

It's time to make a move.

Lei Ye had the confidence to bring the city's mages onto the airship.

He focused his mind, positioned himself in his heart, waved his hand, and clenched his fist.

"Revenge log!" he shouted.

—Buzz.

Another fluorescent blue special effect appeared, followed by two huge thorny logs falling from the sky and landing precisely on the wild dog's head!

pierce!

The built-in magic drive engine started to work, and Lei Ye heard a rattling sound similar to a chainsaw at full power.

roll!

The heavy log pierced the wild dogs' bodies, then rolled and crushed them. After a few rounds, the two wild dogs were torn to pieces.

The air fell silent for a few seconds.

Then, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the airship.

"Is this even possible? You've really got some serious talent, Boss Lei!"

"This feeling of just watching is driving me crazy! I never want to do errands again! Where are there any more trees in Hillius? Let's go chop them down!"

"Forget cutting down trees, the most important thing is Boss Lei's airship! Call over our best fighters, let's go straight to that scoundrel and beat him to a pulp!"

This is just the beginning; it's not time to get excited yet.

Raiye weaved through the cheering crowd back to Antorola. "How many potions are left in the guild?"

"There's only a week's supply left. Could it be... Boss Lei, that move you just used also required a lot of magic power?"

"I'm not asking about the stock of magic potions, I'm asking about this particular potion. Here you go."

Antoura shook her head regretfully, her expression showing that she understood what Raino was talking about.

"I understand what you mean. Because evil and its relatives share the same senses, you want to use poison, right? But we've tried it before, with little success..."

She glanced at the small bottle that Lei Ye handed her.

He frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple.

"What is the 'Pulse-Boosting Drug'...?"

"Anyway, it's not poison, so the antidote won't work on it. The log spikes from earlier were coated with this agent; we'll know if it works in a bit. If it does, I'd like you to help gather some archers on the airship. I'll provide them with a suitable shooting environment and the composite bows I mentioned before. In addition, I'll need you to coordinate the logistics personnel to help them coat the arrowheads with the agent."

Antoura rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.

Her tired eyes gradually brightened, growing brighter and brighter.

"I understand. I'll check the inventory as soon as I get back to the city."

"Okay, and please also check the stock of these medicines. I'll tell you, and you write it down."

Upon hearing this, Antoura panicked and rummaged through her own storage bag. Lei Ye thoughtfully handed her paper and pen.

"First, a strong laxative."

Antoura, who was about to take notes, froze.

"...?"

Lei Ye continued talking to himself.

"Then, the diarrhea stopped immediately."

"Aphrodisiac for veterinary use."

"The Emperor's Elixir"

"The root of all evil."

"Diuretic oil."
