Chapter 14 Journey

After the freshness of the first two days of the itinerary on the airship has passed, for Zhang Tie, the rest of the journey gradually becomes boring, even in places like the Blackson Terran Corridor, where the airship flies There are actually not many opportunities to see the human cities below.

Most of the time, when looking down from the porthole of the airship, all you can see are rolling hills, rolling hills and grasslands, and forests that stretch as far as the eye can see. All the places look sparsely populated. The barren appearance, not to mention cities, even larger towns and villages, is rarely seen. After all, compared to the land area of ​​the Blackson Terran Corridor, the population of the countries in the Terran Corridor is too small. Most of these populations are concentrated in some cities protected by city walls, and they can be viewed from outside the city. The possibility of going to a large-scale human settlement is very small.

After boarding the airship, Zhang Tie was allocated a sleeping cabin. After getting tired of the monotonous scenery under the airship, Zhang Tie stayed in his own sleeping cabin except for eating and sleeping, and carried out activities that were difficult for ordinary people. The practice of imagination.

He took out the fifth-grade crystal pyramid that Zhang Tie had photographed at the auction house, and placed it under the bed in his cabin. When he was practicing, he sat on the pyramid with a thin bed board, so that The top of the pyramid is directly facing the bright spot on his tailbone. The cultivation effect of the fifth-grade crystal pyramid is much stronger than those crystals Zhang Tie used before. Zhang Tie uses his spiritual power to polish the bright spot The speed is also significantly accelerated.

Even when he was not practicing, the special effect of the pyramid crystal filled Zhang Tie's small sleeping cabin with a pleasant energy, making his mind much clearer.

The airship Zhang Tie was on was a large rigid airship with a length of more than 200 meters and a height of nearly 70 meters. The normal cruising speed of the airship was 110 kilometers per hour, neither fast nor slow. When returning to Jinyun Kingdom from Karur for the first time, the airship carried more than 50 passengers who wanted to leave Karur to Jinyun Kingdom. These passengers included men, women, old and young, and many of them seemed to belong to the same family. The clothes are all ready, these passengers, at least in terms of clothing and temperament, are very decent, and they seem to belong to the well-educated wealthy class.

Zhang Tie can more or less guess the reason why these people left Karur. These are people with a keen sense of smell in the Andaman League. This sudden war and many signs have already been seen by these people. Some kind of potential danger, so they began to seize the opportunity to find a way to leave the former cities of the Andaman League and prepare to go to a safer and more ideal place in their hearts.

Jinyun Country is probably the place where these people feel safe and can live a better life.

On the fourth day after leaving Karur, the airship landed once in a city completely unfamiliar to Zhang Tie, replenished with coal, water and some other supplies, rested on the ground for a few hours and then started flying again.

Zhang Tie originally thought that the journey in the airship would be smooth and smooth, but it turned out that in this era, as long as travel outside the city wall, there is no absolute safety.

On the sixth day after arriving on the airship, the airship Zhang Tie was on was attacked for the first time.

Zhang Tie, who was meditating, was awakened by the urgent and short sound of the siren inside the airship, and then Zhang Tie heard someone shouting outside the cabin, "Dangerous creatures attack, all personnel take their positions, all personnel Take your places, the passengers on the airship stay in their cabins and don't come out..."

Then, nervous footsteps sounded outside Zhang Tie's cabin.

If it was before,

In such a situation, Zhang Tie must have stayed in the cabin like other passengers, but the experience of the Jagged Camp changed Zhang Tie. When encountering such a dangerous situation, Zhang Tie jumped out of bed and opened himself The door of the sleeping cabin, and ran out together.

The cabin of the airship is 20 meters wide, and the aisle outside is not narrow. When Zhang Tie ran out, many crew members in crew uniforms got busy, some rushed to the deck, and some rushed to the engine room. And the weapons compartment, and those passengers who were on the open deck of the airship in the morning, admiring the scenery below and taking a breath, ran in in panic one by one. People like Zhang Tie who rushed out of the deck, only Crew of an airship in uniform.

"What are you doing here?" When Zhang Tie ran to the entrance of the deck, a man in his thirties stared at Zhang Tie with wide-eyed eyes. At that time, I met this person and the captain of the airship, but I never saw him again, so I can't say how familiar I am. At most, I just know that everyone's surname is Zhang.

"I was a soldier!" Zhang Tie replied in a deep voice, "Maybe I can help!"

The chief mate on the airship took a serious look at Zhang Tie. After their airship sailed out of Jinyun Kingdom, the Huaiyuan Hall sent a message asking them to call a man named Zhang Tie when they were in Karur City. On the entire airship, only he and the captain of the airship probably knew who Zhang Tie was. It seemed that the descendants of the Zhang family were left behind and were wanted by the secret police of the Norman Empire. .

Of course, the people who can be wanted by the secret police of the Norman Empire will not be incompetent people. I also heard that Zhang Tie was a soldier. After thinking about it for a second, the first officer nodded, "Come on. , the descendants of Huaiyuantang do not have any reason to hide when they are in danger!"

Zhang Tie rushed onto the deck of the airship together with the chief mate, and the gun coats of the ballistas on the deck of the airship were uncovered one by one at this time, and many of the sailors who rushed onto the deck quickly sat on their ballistas On the emplacement.

Because the main purpose of this airship is cargo, not military, all ballistas on the airship are non-automatic, and the steam power equipment on the airship only provides power for the airship's propeller propellers.

There are three sailors on each ballista gun position. The sailors who sit on the gun position put their feet on a mechanism similar to bicycle pedals, and then start to step on their feet quickly. Under the action of a bunch of mechanical gears, the first round of winding and launching preparations for the ballista was completed, and the whole process took less than twenty seconds.

"Battle No. 1 is ready..."

"Battle No. 2 is ready..."

"A No. 3 artillery position must be secured..."

"Battle No. 4 is ready..."

The gunners of each gun position that had completed the launch preparations began to report loudly. Zhang Tie watched coldly, and found that the military quality of these crew members was very high, even compared with the regular army of the Norman Empire Airship Troops, they were no different.

After the crew members were ready, the two rows of crew members holding machine crossbows and bows and arrows on both sides of the airship deck also took their positions.

"Take it, put it on and fasten it!" The first officer of the airship threw Zhang Tie a set of special equipment to wear on his body, as well as a machine crossbow.

This is a set of leather like a simple waistcoat. After wearing it, there is a safety buckle at the waist of the clothes, which can be buckled to two fixed metal sliders on the side of the deck boat. Zhang Tie Seeing that every crew member on the deck, including the first mate, was wearing such a set of clothes, and everyone buckled up the safety buttons on their waists, so they followed suit. After quickly getting dressed , Also buckled the safety handle on it.

Zhang Tie had just buckled it up, and the airship that had been flying in a straight line instantly turned to the right with an accelerated rudder, and the entire body of the airship tilted to the right, and the horizontal plane of the entire airship deck tilted to the right at least by nearly 30 degrees. , Zhang Tie only felt the strong wind blowing against his face, his feet slipped, and his body almost couldn't stand still. He quickly used one hand to hold a metal handrail on the deck, and then he stood still.

After the whole airship drew a huge half-arc in the sky on the right side and adjusted its direction once, the people standing on both sides of the airship deck could see clearly the appearance of those dangerous creatures who were about to attack the airship.

It was a group of giant birds that had just swooped down from the clouds in the distance. Zhang Tieyun looked over with all his eyesight, and saw a black mass flying towards the airship from a distance. When it was close to three meters, looking around, there were at least forty or fifty of these giant birds in the dark mass.

After the giant birds flew a little closer, Zhang Tie could even see the long beak on the heads of these giant birds.

The first mate of the airship standing next to Zhang Tie turned serious, and said loudly, "It's a level-4 mutant monster, Iron-billed Ibis, everyone be careful!"

The airship made two evasive actions in a row, but these giant birds just clung to the airship tightly.

Looking at the sword-like spear-like beaks on the heads of those giant birds, and the airbags on the airship, Zhang Tie also understood the huge damage these iron-billed ibis might cause to the airship.

Although the airbag of this rigid airship has a special layer of light metal protective armor, no one knows how long the protective armor on the airship can last under the continuous attacks of these giant birds.

When the iron-billed ibises approached the airship about 200 meters away, several ballistas built into the left deck of the airship and the body of the airship fired at the same time.

Zhang Tie only heard a soft "buzz" in his ears, and six of the dozens of iron-billed ibis, after a few ear-piercing croaks, burst out a few bloody flowers in the air and scattered their feathers in all directions. At the same time, it fell from the air, and the remaining iron-billed ibis flapped its giant wings and rushed towards the airship at high speed.

A rain of crossbow arrows flew on the deck of the airship, and the giant birds dodged very flexibly in the air. This wave of arrows only shot down less than three iron-billed ibis.

When the iron-billed ibises rushed over just now, Zhang Tie did not pull the trigger of the machine crossbow in his hand immediately, but calmly aimed at one of the iron-billed ibises. , when the airship was about 80 meters away, he calmly pulled the trigger.

"Croak!" With an unpleasant cry, the iron-billed ibis targeted by Zhang Tie was pierced through the chest by Zhang Tie's arrow and fell from the sky.

Almost at the same time that the iron-billed ibis fell, a blood mist exploded from the nearby iron-billed ibis at the same time. Zhang Tie heard a strange vibration in his ears. The first mate held a long bow, and the bow string sang softly. The iron-billed ibis just now should have been shot down by the long bow in the first mate's hand.

The chief mate didn't seem to notice Zhang Tie's gaze, but quickly drew the bow again, shot the arrow, drew the bow, shot, drew the bow, shot, almost one arrow per second. After three arrows, three balls exploded in the sky blood mist.

The rest of the iron-billed ibis pounced, not on the deck, but on the airbag of the airship, and the ear-piercing sound of scraping metal rang out above Zhang Tie's head...

The airship is under attack! (To be continued, this text is provided by Breaking Dawn Update Group x-on:, Dadoudou mm. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
