Chapter 38 36: Becoming a hero (second update)

Nolen sat back on the carriage and immersed his mind in the soul connection. At this time, he was immersed in the first-person perspective of Yuna's flight.

Yuna rose to a height of about 50 meters and stopped. Luo Zhen and Aisha below had already moved the targets prepared in the carriage, stood them diagonally on the ground, and then ran away.

She raised the magic gun and aimed at the target below through the scope.

Just looking at the paper data, the vertical height of 50 meters is nothing. The straight-line distance between her and the target is not more than 100 meters. If she is shooting arrows normally, her hit rate at this distance is close to [-]%.

But now it was not the usual archery, but she was shooting in the air with an unfamiliar weapon in a non-focused way. The strange bird's-eye view of the air to the ground was also difficult for her to adapt to.

Therefore, this is also a difficult test for her.

Yuna switched her backpack to suspension mode, then calmed her breathing and her heartbeat slowed down.

The wind in the air was stronger than on the ground, and her ears were filled with whining noises, but she was not distracted. She held the magic gun in her right hand and pointed it steadily at the target below.

When the crosshair of the scope coincided with the center of the target, Yuna pressed the trigger.

The magic channel was connected, and a cyan circle at the muzzle of the gun was quickly formed. After a delay of half a second, a sickle-shaped wind blade roared out and went straight to the ground!

The Blade of the Wind is a fourth-level wind spell. It is extremely fast and reaches the ground in just an instant. After a roar, it raises a cloud of dust on the ground.

The dust dispersed, and Yuna frowned slightly.

The first test shot failed to hit the target, and the wind blade landed two meters next to the target.

"In the first shot, mistakes are inevitable. This error is within the range of my expectations."

Nolen comforted him, "Get familiar with the feel of the magic gun. I believe you will soon be able to master its shooting skills."

"But, I always feel like something is weird..."

Yuna muttered and took aim again.

This time she blindly fired based solely on her own feeling. When she pulled the trigger, the crosshair in the scope did not completely coincide with the target.

The wind blade condensed again and roared out. This time it accurately hit the target and split the target surface into two.

"I'll just say it!" She let out a long breath and became slightly happy.

"It seems there is something wrong with the scope." Nolen touched his chin, "Go back and let Luo Zhen adjust it."

The wind blade spell is different from ordinary flying props. It is not affected by wind and gravity. There is no shooting deviation at this distance. If you think about it, the problem can only be with the sight.

Speaking of which, Luo Zhen was also struggling. After all, he was not a professional alchemical weapon forger, and it was probably his first time to debug the sight.

After all, they are all newly invented alchemical weapons. There will probably be many problems like these, big and small, in the future, and he will be very busy by then.

Knowing nothing about the high-intensity working conditions in the future, Luo Zhen and Ai Xia set up a new target on the ground.

After passing the 50-meter height shooting test, Yuna's stretching height actually rose to about 100 meters this time.

At this time, in Yuna's first perspective, the people and the target below have become very small. Whether she can hit the target without the sight, Noren, who is watching the battle in real time, is also a little unsure.

She raised the magic gun again and was about to aim at the target below, when she suddenly noticed something moving and looked back.

A bright signal flare slowly rose thousands of meters away. Yuna had learned it at the Knight Academy. This was a standard signal flare exclusively used by the Linfeng City military. The red signal represented a request for help.

"Go over and take a look." Nolen narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision.

Yuna also had this intention. She changed direction, turned on the acceleration mode, and flew towards the battle site at high speed.As Linfeng City enters a state of war, the army in the city has been dispatched and continues to push back, bringing some nearby villages under its control again.

Of course, the grassland people are also constantly using guerrilla tactics to harass and attack the Linfeng army outside the city.

Here's what's happening now: An impending army has regained control of a village and plans to transform it into a temporary military stronghold.

Naturally, the grassland people would not let Linfeng's troops regroup and build defense lines here. They launched a fierce attack here, forcing the troops stationed here to send a distress signal.

Yuna, who was accelerating in the air, was much faster than the cavalry support on the ground. She rushed to the scene as soon as she saw the signal, overlooking the battle situation below from a high altitude.

The village seemed to have just been recaptured, and the surrounding fortifications were not completely built, so they were directly destroyed by the prairie people's cavalry.

The two teams were already fighting together in the village. The grassland people came prepared this time. Not only did their warriors have a higher average quality than the soldiers in Linfeng City, they even had an advantage in numbers.

Therefore, the battle situation was overwhelmingly in favor of the grassland people. At this moment, half of the defenders had been killed, and the reinforcements from nearby Linfeng City had not yet arrived.

Judging from this fighting speed, the prairie people can even wipe out all the defenders here and retreat, thus achieving a considerable exchange of numbers.

They had used this method to harass the frontiers in the past, and this elusive fighting style had always caused Linfeng City a headache.

This is one of the main reasons why they have an advantage in fighting on the grassland.

However, no matter how fast the horse is, it cannot match the flying speed of the Valkyrie backpack.

"Nolen!" Yuna had already aimed her magic gun at the prairie troops below.

Returning to the battlefield and once again witnessing the prairie people killing people in the village, she found that the long-dormant anger in her heart had once again rekindled.

Different from before, now she has gained great power. She is convinced that as long as she joins the battle, the situation will change immediately.

But she still remembered the agreement she made with Nolen. He once said that he would decide the time of revenge.

So, she wouldn't have pulled the trigger without Nolen's instructions.

In the carriage thousands of meters away, Nolen took a deep breath and slowly leaned on the backrest.

"Go, Yuna," he said, "your time for revenge has come."

In fact, he had thought carefully about it from the beginning. After creating the Valkyrie equipment, under what circumstances should it be displayed?

Later he came to the answer - war.

Don't understand why?Let’s change the question:
When a genius, or a powerful being, appears out of the blue, how can most of the people around him put down their guard against his appearance, or even welcome him instead of feeling disgusted, wary, and panicked?
That is to lure out a more powerful foreign enemy, and then appear as a friendly force when they can't resist it, and say to them: Don't be afraid, I'm coming.

Those who can achieve this level are no longer just geniuses, but heroes.

Yes, hero.

He wants Yuna to become a hero who helps Linfeng City win the war.

He wants to prepare a way for Yuna to appear as a hero.

And now, such an opportunity has come.
