Free Web NovelChapter 833: Chapter 508: Zong Shen’s Early Exploration, Baron Bezos Arrives
Zong Shen did not bother to explain and only instructed Tasuya after handling the matters at the site.
"Tasuya, take these guys back to the territory."
"I’ll teach you how to pilot it."
With that, Zong Shen opened the pod door and stepped inside.
Tasuya was stunned for a moment but quickly climbed up after him.
The drop of thirty to forty centimeters was similar to a higher step.
Entering the pod wasn’t difficult.
Zong Shen went straight to the cockpit and began explaining swiftly.
Tasuya suppressed her surprise and started learning seriously.
In just five or six minutes, she memorized the functions of various levers and buttons.
She also understood the corresponding steps for takeoff and landing.
"In a moment, hover at a low altitude, maintaining a height of 60 to 100 meters."
"Be careful not to fly too high, or you might be spotted by those fishmen."
"Maintain low altitude and fly away at least five or six kilometers before ascending."
"By the way, here’s the sketch map I drew."
"The territory is in the southwest direction, about 1000 kilometers away."
Zong Shen explained finally and handed her a sketch map.
He had drawn this temporarily based on the navigation path from the guide module.
The general direction and distance should be correct, and Tasuya should be able to find it.
After arranging everything, he fully charged the airship with magic energy and left some magic energy crystals as backup.
Judging by the direction, Tasuya would definitely not encounter Baron Bezos.
Just as Zong Shen was rushing to leave the pod, Tasuya called out to him.
"Sir, those skeleton knights..."
Zong Shen had to stop and turn to explain.
He extended his right hand and pointed to the finger wearing the Ring of the Lion.
"With this Ring of the Lion, they all have to obey me."
"Besides, I’ve mastered the method of using soul communication."
He conveyed the latter sentence to Tasuya through soul fluctuations.
This move left Tasuya stunned in her place.
Zong Shen had no time for further explanation.
He immediately arranged for the Lion Skeleton Knights to enter the pod.
A total of 29 Lion Skeleton Knights couldn’t fit inside the pod.
Though they were just bone structures, their size was still considerable.
Especially considering there was a skeleton bone horse beneath them.
Ultimately, he arranged for 19 Lion Skeleton Knights to enter the pod.
The remaining 10 could only wait for the next batch of airships.
In any case, bringing back a batch was good.
Zong Shen issued new instructions to the 19 Lion Skeleton Knights, requiring them to obey Tasuya’s orders.
This indirect transfer of command carried certain risks.
Since the Silver Lion Ring was the primary symbol of authority.
However, Tasuya could also communicate through soul fluctuations, and as a Necromancer, she possessed some undead death qi and shadow ability, ensuring the Lion Skeleton Knights wouldn’t be too resistant.
This is why Zong Shen arranged for Tasuya to pilot the Goblin Airship.
Others might not be able to suppress these creatures.
Especially ordinary humans.
Without the symbol of authority, it would easily provoke the skeleton knights’ instinctual hostility.
After all, the Undead Race loathes all creatures.
As for the remaining 10 Lion Skeleton Knights, they could be easily dealt with.
Just have them quietly stay in the woods.
The location was quite far from the ruins by the mountain foot, and the woods provided cover.
As long as Baron Bezos didn’t randomly head in this direction, it would be fine.
Since Zong Shen had arrived several hours ahead, he was justified in taking the guiding role.
Providing guidance to Baron Bezos, consciously avoiding the western woodland.
Moreover, the western woodland held no exploration value.
Zong Shen first issued a command for the remaining skeleton knights to wait on-site.
Then, together with Wenresa, he watched the airship slowly ascend.
Tasuya was piloting the airship for the first time.
Initially, her operation was somewhat smoothed, with the airship shaking considerably.
This was due to mismatched turbofan power, needing an increase in power gear.
Fortunately, Tasuya was smart and quickly grasped the knack.
The airship slowly ascended to a height of over eighty meters.
This altitude was low enough not to be detected by the sentry tower fishmen.
Zong Shen and Wenresa watched as the airship gradually moved away.
Only when the flight stabilized did Zong Shen breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let’s go, Wenresa."
"Let’s return to the mountain top cliff."
"Baron Bezos should be arriving soon."
Zong Shen said softly, then led the way toward the mountain top.
Wenresa nodded compliantly, saying nothing, just quietly following him.
They moved along the mountain path to the western side slope of the cliff.
When they reached the mountain top, it was just after 2 PM.
It seemed Baron Bezos hadn’t arrived yet.
This situation was somewhat unexpected.
Zong Shen decided to ride on Eagle to take a look.
He climbed onto Eagle’s back, tapping its neck lightly to signal flying in the direction traveled before.
Eagle raised its neck, preparing to let out a cry but suddenly remembered something.
It suppressed the cry in its stomach.
It took off with a flap, maintaining low altitude before quickly ascending to about 2000 meters once away from here, then accelerated.
The general direction was correct, and after about five or six minutes, Zong Shen saw Baron Bezos’s airship.
Their flying altitude was about 1500 meters, lower than Eagle.
Zong Shen pointed down with his hand, issuing a command to approach quickly.
Eagle began diving to the front of the airship’s cockpit.
He turned and looked at the airship behind him, raising his right hand to signal moving forward.
This indicated for Baron Bezos to follow him.
Since he had arrived several hours ahead, Baron Bezos naturally trusted him.
So the airship steadily followed Eagle.
The airship was much slower than Eagle, taking about half an hour to reach the mountain top.
Under Zong Shen’s direction, the airship landed at the cliff’s open area.
