Chapter 708 They Got Mechas!
We took almost an entire day to cross the entire continent. It was damn huge! On the mini-map, it looked small, almost considered the third smallest continent here.
But in fact it was much bigger than what I thought! One had to know that the place I moved from wasn’t initially that far from the coast I was going towards.
At some point, and after flying out for six hours straight, I ended up crossing over the border between the dense green forest and the empty zone created by my people.
Then the entire world turned all green from this point onward.
At first it looked interesting. But with time passing, it began to become boring.
“We are finally here!”
After the passage of one day, and during the deep concentration Lily showed towards the three dens I gave to her, we finally reached the zone where towering mountains were blocking the path up ahead.
“This… These mountains are really something,” even Lily found it impressive.
“You didn’t see anything yet,” I looked at the top layer of these mountains. The higher parts were lost in the middle of a thick layer of black clouds, resembling the area I once visited and selected as the main residence of my capital here.
“Let me show you something interesting,” I evilly grinned while deciding to visit the world high up first.
I moved my chariot high towards the thick layer of black clouds. Just as we passed through it, densely packed bolts of lightning came at my chariot.
“Damn fierce!” she exclaimed in shock as all the lightning crushed on the sturdy shield of mine.
The sight all around us was flashing fast between dense darkness and bright silver blue light. The world kept like that for an entire three hours.
I was flying with my highest speed, yet it took much longer than it took when I tried to reach the top layer at the central plains.
“Where are we going exactly?” After the passage of the first hour, Lily was curious to know where we were heading.
“You will see, it should be something interesting.”
After two more hours, we finally reached the final layer of these clouds. For me, it looked like we were moving against a strong force that came from all this lightning and clouds.
I knew it was impossible for my chariot to fly through tens of miles or even hundreds of miles during these three hours. Something was off here, and I had only the clouds and lightning to blame.
Just as we crossed through the last layer, we finally reached a world that looked like a real piece of heaven.
“Wow! Hye, I never knew you got that side in you,” when we arrived there, Lily kept moving slowly around, seemingly taken by the beauty of this place.
I had to admit. This part of the world was more beautiful than the other places I visited in the central plains.
It was the same, thick layer of clouds forming the ground while the sky looked pure and breathtaking. ?
The tips of the mountains scattered all over the place, with a broad surface that was enough to build clusters of cities and towns over it.
The surface of each mountain top was much broader than what I’d seen before. But that wasn’t all.
At some places, large pieces of rocks were floating in the air, without any attachment to anything down below except for thick branches of tree roots.
These rocks flew on higher levels than the top of mountains. And they appeared in large numbers at certain places, and scarcely presented at others.
“Let’s check these,” I led my chariot higher in such peace and quiet, going high up towards the nearest cluster of these flying rocks.
When I got near them, they looked more like big islands than small pieces of rocks.
They got flat surfaces, enough to accommodate a single town, a single city, or even a cluster of both.
They got connected with the lower mountain tops with long and thick tree roots, and they were connected to each other by the same roots, forming thick broad bridges, enough for anyone to cross safely upon them.
“These islands… They are floating against the gravity…” Lily looked at these islands and felt more impressed, “I heard about the legendary flying lands of the Toranks race, but never dreamt about seeing such a thing in person.”
“Does the Toranks race have such floating islands?” I looked at her in surprise as this was the first time for me to know such a thing.
“Their first home land is filled with flying lands. I even heard that they were flying in oceans and rivers.”
“That looks like a nice place to live in,” I said in honest admiration.
“That’s why they got so much experience at training flying legends. Actually if not for their mighty and valiant huge flying legions, they wouldn’t have been stronger than Hescos.”
“So your race excels at aquatic fights, Toranks at aerial battles, and Hescos? Ground fights?”
“No, it’s not even close,” she sighed, “only my race excelled in one area. The other two are really experienced at any kind of battle.”
“Didn’t you just say…”
“I just spoke about the deadly legions of the Toranks. For Hescos, their deadly legions are mechanics.”
“Mechanics? What does this mean?!” I didn’t get what she meant. I thought they would excel at the ground battles. But mechanics? What did that even mean?
“They form legions made of big machines, things they call mechas.”
“Mechas?”
“They are mighty machines, covering up the entire bodies of their elites. They could fight on ground, under water, or even in midair! They are deadly, not easily destroyed.”
“They look… Really scary to me,” I honestly said, “how come Toranks are stronger than them then?”
“Because such fierce machines take a really long time and lots of resources to be made. So even if they got the upper hand in terms of strength, they lack in terms of numbers.
