1379 Prince and Special Formation
“Alpha, Ryder, Toyenore… The few of you, don’t be lazy. Could it be that you still want a few children to be responsible for protecting you?”
Captain Devirak also called out the names of a few mercenaries and rushed them over to defend the periphery of the team with Hasol and the others.
Although they had already reached the 17th floor and should be relatively safe, there were nearly a hundred people in their group. All of them were injured and their combat strength was greatly affected. It was naturally impossible not to be careful.
After making arrangements, Prince Montique and Captain Devirak exchanged glances and stood on both sides of the team. While guarding the surrounding environment, it was also convenient to better observe the team’s situation.
After advancing like this for a period of time, a black shadow suddenly flew over at high speed in the sky ahead.
Everyone immediately became nervous.
The speed of these black shadows was abnormally fast. If it was those flying mutated beasts, it meant that these mutated beasts must be extremely powerful.
This was a plain around them and there was no cover at all. Moreover, it was not easy for the large group of them to hide. Clearly, they could not avoid those fellows.
“Everyone, pay attention and prepare…”
Just as Prince Montique shouted, his gaze suddenly landed on the black shadow that was quickly approaching in the distance. He stared over and was stunned.
This black shadow… did not seem to be a mutated beast.
Captain Devirak also discovered this and also revealed a surprised expression. He simply flew higher and focused his eyes to look ahead.
Buzz! Buzz!
An extremely soft sound of air flowing like mosquitoes flapping their wings sounded. This time, not only did Captain Dravik and Prince Montique discover the abnormality, but the others also sensed that something was wrong.
Everyone’s gazes focused on the black shadow. After a moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.
“Oh my god! It’s actually the Empire’s airship!”
The others looked at each other in surprise.
That’s right, the group of black shadows quickly flying over in front of him were not flying mutated beasts, but a group of sharp-looking and extremely ferocious low-altitude floating shuttles!
Moreover, from the appearance and style of this group of floating shuttles, they were clearly the standard military airships of the Declan Empire!
Everyone blankly watched as the large group of airships that numbered more than a hundred quickly flew over. However, that group of airships did not seem to have discovered everyone at all. Their speed did not decrease at all and they were about to fly over everyone’s heads.
Prince Montique’s heart stirred. His figure flashed and he flew into the sky, blocking the path of the airships.
The airship at the front originally did not seem to plan to pay attention to Prince Montique. It drew an arc and prepared to circle around, but a moment later, its speed plummeted and it quickly slowed down. A moment later, it steadily stopped in front of him.
The large group of airships following behind were clearly well-trained. They also stopped without any delay and floated in midair like a large dark cloud.
Prince Montique’s gaze swept past the airships in front of him and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Although this military airship was the standard airship of the Empire Army, it was not especially eye-catching on them, but it was very difficult to ignore. There were royal symbols hanging on them!
This only meant one possibility. These military airships should have belonged to the ordinary Weaving Empire Army, but they were temporarily recruited into the royal command sequence for some reason.
Such an establishment rarely appeared. It usually only appeared under the circumstances of some temporary special operations of the royal family or the temporary recruitment of a certain important figure in the royal family.
As for the special operation of the royal family in the Endless Abyss recently, it seemed that there was only the second stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. As for the important figures of the royal family…
Feeling an extremely powerful but familiar aura leak out, Prince Montique could not help but straighten his body. He turned around and indeed saw a familiar face.
Prince Lekas!
Prince Montique was extremely surprised.
Although it was true that Prince Lekas was sent by the royal family of the empire to be in charge of this Garden Hunting Assembly, it was extraordinary that he would personally enter the Endless Abyss and even bring a special airship formation.
When he recalled the previous teleportation door explosion, Prince Montique had an ominous feeling.
At this moment, everyone below had already seen Prince Lekas, but their reactions were different.
Prince Lekas was extremely popular in the Declan Empire. Not only were the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire very familiar with him, but even the ordinary citizens were the same. Now that they saw him suddenly appear in front of them, the other descendants of the royal family immediately revealed happy expressions.
It was definitely not simple to escape from the 39th floor of the Endless Abyss. They had experienced all kinds of ferocious battles with mutated beasts along the way and had been in danger several times. Everyone was more or less injured. To most of the descendants of the royal family who usually lived like princes, this was a rare dangerous experience.
Now that they saw the most popular and extremely powerful Prince Lekas appear, all the descendants of the royal family immediately felt relieved.
With Prince Lekas around, what danger could threaten them?
The expression on Captain Devirak’s face was much more complicated.
During this period of time, he could sense very clearly that there were no changes in the Endless Abyss. This was the first time he had seen the teleportation door explosion with his own eyes. From his many years of experience as a mercenary, something major must have happened.
Now that even Prince Lekas had personally appeared here, it could be seen that this matter was definitely extraordinary.
Fortunately, with the cooperation of Prince Montique and a member of the royal family, he led the members of the Freedom and Flower Mercenary Group back safely. It was already fortunate that there was no private person.
As for what had happened… Now that Prince Lekas, who was second only to His Majesty in the royal family, was already here, it was not something their small mercenary group could involve.
While everyone was thinking, Prince Lekas had already flown to Prince Montique. After glancing at him from head to toe, his gaze landed on the large group of people below and he asked, “Montique, did you just return from below?”
“Yes.” Prince Montique knew very well that Prince Lekas was definitely unwilling to hear any nonsense at this moment, so he used the most cutting-edge language to describe their encounter.
Hearing that after Chu Nan, Princess Romanti, and the other three entered the teleportation door, it exploded, Prince Lekas raised his eyebrows.
“Tell me clearly. Did an explosion happen as soon as they entered, or did it happen after a while?”
“It was an explosion that happened after entering for a while,” Prince Montique replied after thinking for a moment.
“Then, according to the situation at that time, do you think they’ve already entered the 40th floor through the teleportation door?”
“This…”
Prince Montique pondered.
The time when the teleportation door exploded was very subtle. Coincidentally, not long after Chu Nan and the other three entered the teleportation door, from the time, if their actions were relatively fast after entering the teleportation door, they should have already left the teleportation door and entered the 40th floor. However, if they delayed slightly, it would be very difficult to explain the result.
Clearly, Prince Lekas paid a lot of attention to this problem.
Moreover, what puzzled Prince Montique was that from Prince Lekas’s tone, he could sense that his concern for Chu Nan was not inferior to Princess Romanti.
Why?
