Chapter 2052: Chapter 2051: The Capital
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Having witnessed his prowess, people naturally believed that Ling Feng could protect them.
As Ling Feng looked at the people of Shallow Blue Star before him, all gazing at him with reverence, he felt a strong sense of protectiveness arise within him.
Initially, he wanted to ask the elder about the situation in the town and where the invaders were located. However, at that mont, a rumbling sound ca from the sky, and everyone shuddered.
"Hero, that... that thing is coming!" the elder said tremulously.
"Everyone, don’t worry. Go back ho; I’ll go check out that thing!"
Ling Feng said and imdiately summoned the Ghost Dragon in front of everyone before jumping onto it and taking to the sky.
Everyone watched in astonishnt, standing frozen on the spot.
Ling Feng ascended, and from a distance, he could see a dark shape flying in from the horizon. Although it was far away, the sizeable bulk of the thing was apparent.
To prevent that thing from bombing the town, Ling Feng directed the Ghost Dragon to fly toward it and then deployed his Divine Sense.
The flying device resembled an airship, with a massive gasbag on top, a flight cabin below, and a fast-spinning propeller at the back, making a rumbling noise.
Seeing this thing, Ling Feng laughed, thinking this thing was practically coming to its own doom.
If the gasbag above were destroyed, the flying device would inevitably crash!
But just as Ling Feng was inwardly amused, he witnessed an astonishing scene!
The gigantic gasbag suddenly opened dozens of windows, and out ca things that unfolded their wings and flew toward him!
"It can actually carry people?"
Ling Feng muttered and imdiately commanded the Ghost Dragon to intercept them!
Those flying objects were indeed people wearing chanical armor, unlike human single-soldier flying devices; their flight relied entirely on flapping wings.
Even so, their speed was not slow, as they closed the thousand-ter distance almost instantly!
"Interesting!"
Ling Feng chuckled coldly, standing with his hands behind his back, with no intention of counterattacking.
With the Ghost Dragon there, Ling Feng thought, do I really need to act myself?
Indeed, as those flying soldiers got close, the Ghost Dragon imdiately opened its mouth and spewed out torrents of fla!
The opponents seed surprised and unfamiliar with this dragon species, so they were caught off guard. Over a dozen scread in agony and fell from the sky!
It turned out their flightsuits were rather fragile, and combined with the high temperature of the Ghost Dragon’s fla, they were destroyed instantly.
The attackers lost a third of their strength at once, realizing Ling Feng was not easy to deal with, so they imdiately began to circle around, not daring to approach recklessly.
anwhile, the Ghost Dragon had no intention of entangling with them. It weaved through the air and suddenly increased its speed!
The smarter ones fled imdiately, while the slower ones didn’t escape the fire attack, descending in flas.
As the other flying soldiers fled afar, the Ghost Dragon let out a long roar and headed straight for the massive flying device!
The opponent realized sothing was wrong, attempting to turn around and escape, but unfortunately, the cumberso giant was too slow.
In a blink, the Ghost Dragon was upon them, and the zeppelin, unwilling to be shot down, launched countless weapons towards the Ghost Dragon!
At this point, Ling Feng finally made his move. Activating the Mind Soul Art, those missiles instantly lost their aim, clattering to the ground, erupting into firebursts on the wasteland below.
The Ghost Dragon then breathed a mouthful of flas, instantly engulfing the zeppelin!
"Boom!"
The airship erupted in flas, producing a deafening explosion before disintegrating instantly!
A large amount of debris hit the ground, and Ling Feng shook his head helplessly: "This was way too easy, hardly challenging!"
Turning back, those flying soldiers from the airship had vanished without a trace, so Ling Feng had the Ghost Dragon turn around and returned to the town.
The town’s residents had not heeded his words to return ho; instead, they had witnessed from the open field everything that transpired in the sky.
When Ling Feng landed, cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone bowed to the ground!
Seeing them prostrate like that, Ling Feng guessed it was a high-level gesture of respect, similar to kneeling in Huaxia culture.
So he quickly shouted to everyone: "Please don’t do that, everyone stand up!"
"Hero, thank you for saving us!"
The elder from before climbed to his feet, his clothes muddy, stepping forward to speak.
"No need to be formal!"
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "I ca here to save you, but now there’s sothing I’d like to ask all of you!"
"Hero, feel free to ask. We will tell you everything we know!" the elder replied.
Ling Feng smiled, then asked: "Elder, where do these invaders reside, and how many are there?"
"Their numbers are unclear, but most reside in our capital city."
The elder replied and then added, "They control the Imperial Family and often capture children from various places to bring back to work for them!"
"Kidnapping children?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked, "Why do they do this?"
"They don’t want anyone to resist. By taking the children, people are even less likely to oppose them!" the elder explained.
"Oh, I see."
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "Where is your capital city located?"
The elder pointed with his hand: "From here, head north, approximately a thousand Na."
Ling Feng figured a Na was equivalent to a kiloter on Earth, so he nodded: "Alright, I understand!"
"Hero, are you going to the capital to confront the invaders?" the elder asked.
"Exactly, I’m here to drive them away!" Ling Feng said.
"Don’t be in a hurry; you’ve saved our town’s children. We must properly thank you. How about you head to the capital tomorrow?" the elder suggested.
Ling Feng shook his head: "No need, I accept your gratitude in my heart, but I’d better make haste!"
Ling Feng said, not lingering any longer, and once again jumped onto the Ghost Dragon’s back and soared into the sky!
The town’s residents once again prostrated themselves, offering him the highest homage as they bid farewell.
Ascending into the sky, Ling Feng activated his Divine Sense.
His scanning range had greatly improved, now covering fifty kiloters in all directions, bringing everything into his mind in detail.
Ling Feng saw ruins, which were towns before but had been destroyed.
So places were deserted, while others still had so activity, with people clearing away the rubble of their ruined hos.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng suddenly didn’t feel like heading back imdiately!
