Chapter 255: Airship (Two chapters in one)

"Hurry up." Batista said with difficulty, as if sensing someone behind him.

After hearing Batista's words, Ryan didn't say anything, but took a step forward and stood in front.

This immediately caught the attention of the Tide Piercer Rulgatz.

When the opponent's pair of snake eyes looked at Ryan, Ryan suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by his natural enemy, and his hair stood on end!

Only then did Ryan understand why Batista, as a top knight who even took drugs, was beaten so badly.

Although Batista's previous injury had a certain impact, the more important factor was the exaggerated strength of this Tide Piercer.

this.
The opponent should be above the level of the Great Knight.
but
I am no longer the same person I was a few minutes ago!
Now I have the high-level secret of 'Crushing Hammer' in my hand.

Even if Batista hadn't been injured, Ryan thought he was on par with the other man.

Since Batista can hold out for a while, there is no reason for me to just run away without swinging my hammer.
Ryan weighed the pig-head hammer in his hand, and looked at the Tide Piercer Rulgatz with burning eyes. The flame of fighting spirit in his heart burned stronger and stronger!

Compared with the top knight, it seems that he still lacks strength?
Do not!
To be precise, there will be no shortage of it soon!
Ryan was seen leaning forward slightly, with his hammers in both hands placed on the right side of his body, slanting downward.

"Oh!"

As his toes touched the ground, the bluestone slabs shattered and a circle of air waves suddenly rushed out!
Ryan rushed towards Rulgatz like an arrow!

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

With every step he took, Ryan silently added points to his strength attribute!
A warm current pumped out from his heart!

With every step, Ryan's momentum is rising!
This made the expression of the giant naga on the opposite side, Tide Piercer Rulgatz, change slightly, and his leisurely serpentine state also stopped.

The spiked conch in his left hand emitted a dull humming sound, and suddenly, a large number of water energy particles began to linger and gather, and immediately formed several streams of water on the surface of the white conch, winding and surging like pythons.
Opposite.

After taking five steps, Ryan's strength increased by five points in a short period of time. At this moment, it seemed as if there was an active volcano in his body that was about to erupt!

About to ignite!

About to explode!

Ryan desperately needs to roar!

This hammer needs to be swung with full force!
"what!!!"

Ryan roared, and suddenly jumped up not far in front of the Tide Piercer Rulgatz!
In mid-air, Ryan held the warhammer high with both hands, and his whole body was like a taut bow. He swung the warhammer down fiercely, as if at this moment, he had exerted all his strength!

Instantly, the dark pig-head hammer drew a bright black semicircular arc and hit the Tide Piercer Rulgatz on the head!

And when Remiel, who had returned, rushed to the scene, this was what he saw.

Remiel's pupils shrank instantly!
"Hmm!!!"

Ryan's pig-head hammer and Tide Piercer Rulgatz's sharp-tailed conch collided with each other!
At this moment, time seemed to be paused!
A high-frequency vibration sound similar to ultrasound came from the point where the two people's weapons collided.

Even though Remiel was more than ten meters away, he still felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his scalp went numb instantly!

"Snapped!!!"

The black pig-head hammer in Ryan's hand seemed unable to withstand such high-frequency vibrations and collisions. With a crisp sound, it suddenly shattered!
But due to the huge force when Ryan swung the hammer, the sharp-edged hammer fragments, with inertia, swept towards Rulgatz like cannonballs!

Ryan was immediately knocked away by the huge reaction force and slid more than ten meters to Remiel's side.

"what!!"

The Tidepiercer Rulgatz suddenly screamed!

I saw that a piece of the tip of the pig-head hammer was stuck in his left eyeball.

It turned out that the hammer head exploded just now, the distance was too close, and the speed of the fragments was extremely fast, so before Rulgatz's water ball defense could be raised, one of the sharp fragments had already pierced his eyeball.

"Grrrrrr!"

Suddenly, six or seven smoke bombs rolled to the ground near Rurgetz.

"Bang bang bang!"

The next second, everything exploded!
Suddenly, pungent smoke filled the passage, submerging the tall figure of Tide Piercer Rulgatz.

"Come on!"

Remiel cast a lightening spell on himself while helping the pale-faced captain Batista up.

After hearing what Remiel said, Ryan immediately turned around and retreated quickly.

After all, the Pig-Head Hammer is broken. Fighting against this extremely powerful Tide Piercer is not bravery but stupidity!
However, Ryan felt a sense of loss when his beloved pig's head was smashed.

This was made for him by Lagre
And seeing that Ryan, the guy who blinded his eyes, actually wanted to run away, Rulgatz naturally would not give up!

Immediately, he rushed out from the thick smoke and rushed towards the group of three people, much faster than before.

Ryan looked back at the giant spiked conch on the other's left arm, which was still wrapped with several streams of blue water.

"The pig-headed hammer made of hardened adamantium was shattered, but the opponent's spiked conch was still intact."

"Is this the power of witchcraft?" Ryan couldn't help but feel envious.

This made him even more determined to master the art of metal transformation!
"If we can control the deformation of metal, then even if the weapon is broken, it should be able to be quickly put together again!"

"It can even change the shape of metal to make a direct attack."

"If you combine it with the secrets you have mastered"

"Human, you will pay for your actions!" The angry voice of Tide Piercer Rulgatz sounded like thunder.

Then, a rustling sound of crawling was heard behind the three of them.

Judging from the sound, he was moving at a very fast speed, not like Rulgatz strolling leisurely before.

This made Remiel panic!
Ryan glanced at the passages on both sides. The diameter was only about four meters, and Rulgatz was more than three meters tall, so.
Ryan was seen running while quickly swinging his sword at the cave wall above his head!
"Hey! Hey!"

With the rapid cutting of the big sword, large pieces of rubble and soil suddenly fell from the top of the passage!

Soon the passage was blocked section by section, with most of the passage leaving only a gap of more than one meter. There was even a section where a large amount of soil collapsed and it was almost completely blocked!

This made it impossible for the huge Tide Piercer Rulgatz to pass through.

Even if you want to get through, you have to spend a lot of time blasting the gravel and soil.
Hearing the increasingly angry roars coming from behind, Ryan and his three companions quickly caught up with the people in front without any danger.

Everyone was extremely surprised to see that Ryan and the other two were able to come back!
Especially Alyosha, his beautiful eyes looked at Ryan
The rest of the journey is easy.

It took less than a minute to deal with several waves of patrolling white-scaled fishmen, and then everyone successfully arrived at the cave entrance that Ryan had entered before, which was very close to the beach.

"So they are connected." Everyone, including Remiel, was quite surprised.

You know, they all entered from the altar on the farther island. Unexpectedly, the two small islands several kilometers apart were actually connected underground.

As soon as he saw the blue sky, Remiel quickly launched a blue flare into the sky.

After thinking about it, Ryan also launched a red flare given to him by Viscount Fabien into the air.

The first to notice the flare were Veronica and a group of shield crossbowmen who had been observing the situation near the cave.

"Look, this is Baron Ryan's red flare! He's coming out!" A soldier holding a monocular copper telescope pointed ahead and shouted.

The soldiers immediately exclaimed!
Veronica immediately looked up and saw, as expected, two signal bombs, one red and one blue, appeared in the air.

This immediately made her extremely happy.

Soon, the situation was reported step by step.
Viscount Fabien was controlling a griffin at this time, flying from a distance. When he saw the flare sent to Ryan being launched into the air, he was immediately surprised and delighted!

He didn't expect that the young man could actually fight his way out of the cave.

After all, Fabien had previously thought that what Ryan was carrying out was an almost impossible mission. Not to mention saving people, as long as he could return safely, it would be enough to prove his courage and strength!
The majestic griffin under Viscount Fabien's crotch let out a loud cry!
Griffin Knights rose up one after another from various places along the Empire's coastal defense line, quickly forming a team of twelve Griffin Knights, and quickly flew towards where Ryan was.

In addition, the bronze artillery on the imperial defense line also began to show its power.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sudden and intensive bombardment made the sea creatures a little flustered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Griffin Knights protected Ryan, Batista and others and successfully returned to the Imperial camp on the beach side.

Immediately, everyone was welcomed like a hero by the imperial soldiers!

The greyhound war dog Cookie suddenly jumped out, barked twice at his owner, and wagged his tail with great joy.

Veronica, the girl with twin ponytails, wanted to give Ryan a big hug, but soon she saw the young girl walking side by side with Ryan.
This made her stop and look at the other person.

Women are very sensitive to being stared at, not to mention that Alyosha is a second-level wizard apprentice.

So, she soon realized that someone was staring at her.

The other party is also a beautiful girl with twin ponytails, as young and energetic as her.
For no reason, she felt that the relationship between the other party and Lord Ryan must be unusual.

This was soon proven in the conversation between Veronica and Ryan.

The seriously injured Batista was naturally sent away for treatment as soon as possible. Although his injuries were extremely serious, at least his life was saved.

The other people who were rescued were not seriously injured, but they also needed some physical examinations.

Before leaving, everyone from the Imperial Army's 'Earthshakers' came up to Ryan to express their gratitude.

"Mr. Ryan, thank you very much for your help this time! Otherwise, we would not be able to come back. The Earthshaker Sniper Bear Squad expresses its sincere gratitude to you."

Led by a great knight from the Earthshaker Rifttooth Bear Squad, the three of them saluted to Ryan.

"Everyone from the Rifttooth Squad, I just did what I should do." Ryan also bowed slightly and said with a smile. As soon as the conversation started, the other two members of the Earthshaker Raptor Squad also stepped forward to express their gratitude, and finally said:
"Sir Ryan, I heard that you are still a newcomer among the Swordbearers. Would you consider joining us, Earthshakers?"

"Although in terms of overall strength, they may not be as good as the sword holders you are with, but the treatment is almost the same."

"Also, because our Velociraptor team leader unfortunately died in action, if you come over, we can support you as the leader of our Velociraptor veteran elite team."

At this point, Remiel couldn't stand it anymore.

Damn, Ryan is someone I’ve had my eyes on for a long time, but he’s trying to poach him right in front of me.

At that time in Meister, after dealing with the Black Flame Church incident, I told Ryan to come find the Rock Team.

Remiel quickly interrupted the invitation from the Velociraptor Squad to Ryan and said:
"My Lords of the Earthshakers, we have just rescued you from the hands of the enemy. Can you now start poaching our Sword Bearers?"

"Is it too much?"

The people from the 'Earthshaker' couldn't help but blush slightly at what Remiel said.

At this time, a female knight from the Riptooth Bear Squad walked up to Ryan, twisting her slender waist and shaking her extremely elastic buttocks. She slowly stretched out her hand and placed it on Ryan's muscular chest, saying:
"Thank you for your help, Lord Ryan! If you need anything, you can always come to me. My name is Alexandra Bullock, a regular member of the Earthshaker Rifttooth Bear Squad."

As Alexandra spoke, she licked her red lips with her flexible pink tongue, and stared at Ryan with her beautiful brown eyes, almost enough to draw out silk.
Especially the word "any", the other party even deliberately dragged out the tone.

Immediately, the male knights of the 'Earthshaker' nearby showed envious expressions.

You have to know that Alexandra is one of the three roses of their "Earthshaker". On weekdays, although they are a team, Alexandra doesn't think much of them.

Faced with Alexandra's speech, Remiel didn't know what to say for a moment.

Veronica was furious and anxious, cursing in her heart, "Shameless! Slut! Lord Ryan will not like someone like you!"

At this moment, Alyosha's heart was filled with the words "What a flirt!"

Suddenly, the two women looked at each other as if they had a telepathic connection, and their eyes seemed to say, "Compared to this Alexandra, she is more pleasing to the eye."

Ryan felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Alexandra said. Of course, he understood the other party's implication.

Some things cannot be said in public, and one's own image still needs to be maintained. Besides, there are two little girls, Veronica and Alyosha, watching here.

"Thank you, beautiful lady. We both belong to the special department of the empire. I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

And the many imperial soldiers standing nearby were listening with great interest!
The people in front of him, including the personnel of the Empire's special department "Earthshaker" and "Sword Bearer", were all thanking the young Baron Ryan and recruiting him in various ways.
The young Baron Ryan not only rescued the little girl with ponytail, but also rescued all the trapped elite combatants of the empire.

Immediately, a group of imperial soldiers looked at Ryan with even more admiration!

Viscount Fabien had already gotten off the griffin.

However, he did not go forward to disturb them, but watched with a smile from the side.

Before, when he was leading the Griffin Squad for cover, he saw the seriously injured Swordsman Captain Batista, and observed everyone's implicit admiration for Ryan, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

Now, after listening for a while, the answer was naturally revealed.

Unexpectedly, Ryan not only rescued Alyosha, but also rescued several elite teams from the empire's special departments.

After the people with the Earthshakers and Sword Bearers had said goodbye to Ryan, Viscount Fabien walked forward leisurely.

After some pleasantries, Fabien said, "By the way, Baron Ryan, if you are interested in fighting in the sky, you can consider joining the Royal Griffin Guard."

"Royal Griffin Guard?"

"Haha, Baron Ryan, maybe you don't know it very well. Our full name is 'Minster Squadron of the Royal Griffin Guard of the Dragun Empire'."

Ren suddenly understood!

After thinking carefully, Ryan politely declined, "Thank you very much for your recognition, Lord Viscount. Although I really want to ride a griffin and fly in the sky, I have only been a member of the Sword Bearers for a short time, and I still have a lot to learn."

Viscount Fabien nodded and did not continue recruiting.

Because for some things, just enough is enough.

He admired Ryan very much, as he had such strong strength at such a young age.

In addition, he felt that Ryan's personality was relatively stable compared to his age.

I remember that when he was Ryan's age, he also had some ability, but he had long been addicted to the banquets organized by those beautiful ladies and young and lively noble ladies, partying every night and lingering on!
Otherwise, his strength would definitely be more than this.

"Miss Alyosha!" At this time, a young man dressed like a cavalryman walked over quickly and shouted with joy on his face.

"This must be Lord Ryan, right?" Lorenzo saluted.

Ryan nodded and said, "Hello!"

"Huh? Lorenzo? Were you sent by your father?" Alyosha obviously knew the other person. It seemed that this young man named Lorenzo was a family cavalryman of Special Envoy Javier.

"Yes, miss, my lord asked me to wait for news here. I saw so many people cheering just now, so I ran over immediately. Fortunately, you returned safely."

"It's a pity that Slav and Mansfield didn't come back safely. They sacrificed their lives to protect me." Alyosha's eyes turned red when he thought of two familiar family knights who sacrificed their lives to protect her.

"That is the mission of the two Knights!"

"Miss Alyosha, wait a minute, the military will have an airship back to Munster. You and Lord Ryan can take the airship back. Lord Ryan has already said hello."

"Airship?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, look, the airship is coming." Lorenzo pointed to the sky in the northwest corner and said.

Ok?
Ryan looked in the direction the other party pointed.

Suddenly, in the distant sky, there was a small oval gray dot moving towards them.

Ryan squinted his eyes and looked at him.

With his excellent eyesight, he immediately discovered that this oval-shaped object was actually an airship similar to the Zeppelin in his previous life, with an ellipsoidal large air bag on top and a large ship-like pod underneath.

The entire airship was flying towards them slowly but actually quickly, relying on several propellers arranged in a straight line at the stern.

At the same time, there was a small, flexible brown dot flying up and down on each side of the airship. Ryan looked closely and found that they were two escorting griffin knights.

"Mr. Ryan, what do you think?" Alyosha did not immediately agree to Lorenzo's suggestion to return to Münster by airship, but turned his head to ask Ryan.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, I forgot to report to you that your family and Baroness Crawley have been escorted to Munster by a team of elite cavalry."

"At their speed, they will be able to reach Munster before noon the day after tomorrow." Lorenzo patted his head and said quickly.

"Has it been escorted away?" Ryan nodded, slightly surprised.

This gave him a new understanding of Javier’s efficiency.

The noble carriage was different from the freight caravan that Ryan escorted last time. The noble carriage was much faster because the horses were better and the carriage was lighter.

In that case, there is no need for him to go back to the county town.

My warhammer is damaged, and I won't be able to exert my strongest power once I encounter the enemy. I should go back to Munster and get a new warhammer first, Ryan thought to himself.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, the people of Meister County are in a panic right now. Archon Count Habsburg was seriously injured in the battle with the Black Flame Cult."

“So, as soon as Captain Danuwen received the family of the adults, he immediately decided to return to Munster first,” Lorenzo added.

Ok?
Count Habsburg injured?

It seems that even the county town of Meister is not safe. Fortunately, I managed to evacuate my family in time.

As Ryan listened to Lorenzo's story, the airship approached. Soon, the shadow of the huge airship covered most of the camp.

The size of the airship was even larger than Ryan had expected. The cabin was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The lower floor was for storing important cargo or horses, the middle floor was for personnel, and the upper floor had a small number of rooms reserved for officers and above.

Javier naturally arranged rooms in the cabin for Ryan and Alyosha respectively.

Veronica couldn't leave for a short time because of her mission.

After saying goodbye to him, Ryan boarded the airship with Alyosha.

Dark Horse assigned someone to be in charge and placed him in the lower cabin, while Cookie followed Ryan to the upper area. As for Blood Feather, there was naturally no need to make any arrangements, as he flew beside the airship.

After boarding the airship, Ryan did not return to the room immediately, but looked down at the long coastline from the air. Alyosha felt a little tired, so he went back to the cabin to rest.

At this moment, on the coast, the defense lines of the Empire and the Sea Clan were clearly divided, just like the azure blue sea and the yellow land. From time to time, sporadic exchanges of fire occurred between the Empire and the Sea Clan.

However, looking at this scene, Ryan couldn't help but feel confused.

So what are the empire's top fighters doing?
Even the Blood Curse Naga has strong men like the 'Tide Piercer'. How could the Dragun Empire, which has stood for more than two thousand years, not have high-end combat power?

Ryan would never believe it even if you kill him.

Obviously, there is some secret here.

This couldn't help but make Ryan feel a sense of urgency, a worry about the unknown.

If the situation continues to develop as it is now,
Ryan stayed on the deck of the airship for a while before returning to his cabin.

Half lying on the soft bed, with Cookie on guard beside him, Ryan finally relaxed.

At this time, he touched his chest, where there was a letter of certification written by Remiel on behalf of the Rock Team. It mainly told about how Ryan rescued the Rock Team and also rescued a group of elite Earthshakers.

You know, this was originally a mission belonging to the Rock Team.

According to Batista, in this mission, their Rock Squad was at most assisting Ryan.

According to the regulations, Ryan can obtain most of the rewards for the Rock Team's mission.

Simply put, perhaps, after submitting the letter of certification, Ryan, who completed the rescue of Alyosha and rescued the elite of the empire in the process, accidentally accumulated enough money to meet the loan requirement - the minimum condition of a gold medal.

Then I took out a loan to buy the atomizing potion, the first-level defensive fire magic, and the metal transformation magic.
