Chapter 739: Chapter 358: The Final Battle (Part 3)
Here, many things on the ground of the City of the Ship’s Rudder are hard to see, as this disaster has left the city without people to light lamps, the ground is dim, and also because this place is still over a hundred meters above the ground.
"At the port, some brave Sky Knights wanted to stay and help, but I advised them to leave."
Melegon sighed, "Without a combat flying airship with sufficient defense, it’s impossible to approach this aerial battlefield; without a good ship, the ground is out of the question."
Indeed, the aerial battlefield naturally presents an entry barrier, and that is a good ship capable of bearing the pressure.
Even someone as calm as Melegon could not find a way to increase their fighting strength at this moment.
"There is a ship," Li Ang said.
"Is there?" Melegon immediately asked.
"Yes, my ship, our Star Flower Travel Corps’ ship."
Melegon remembered some things: "I saw it from a distance at the Shadow Shipyard, being built on a ship platform; can it fly?"
Li Ang sighed: "I originally came to build a ship for my group, but then ran into the Empire here. For the sake of friends and other matters, I prepared a series of plans, but in the end... to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come to this, didn’t expect the Destruction Battleship thing, and Rams secretly sacrificed the flagship of The Soul Apex, even the Eye of God came, it was all completely unexpected.
"I’ve been thinking, would it really come to this? But to prevent really having to use her, I took some time to prepare a bit beforehand.
"Although she still has many unfinished parts, she has strong propulsion, and a decent Ramming Horn, as for defense... I thought of some way."
Li Ang shrugged with a smile:
"However, since we’re already this unfortunate, I don’t think fate will always let the Empire have all the advantages, right? At this final moment, maybe adding the element of our ship, the scales might begin to tip?"
Melegon listened seriously, and simply said, "You go pilot the ship, I’ll hold them off."
"Okay. About how long can you hold them off?"
"Until victory, otherwise only failure, it’s that simple."
"Alright." Li Ang nodded at the man in front of him.
"Luckily, I’m rather diligent, haven’t been indulging in the peace of Flos Sky Realm, my physical fitness has declined compared to before, I can... reluctantly expand the Domain a bit more."
Just as Melegon was about to harness his magic power, Li Ang said to him: "Spiritual Activation can be used again, but it will consume your lifespan, and this time after using it you’ll really need to lie in bed for a few days, but I think, compared to forcibly expanding the Domain again, perhaps this negative effect of mine..."
"Give it to me." Melegon said before Li Ang could finish speaking.
"Alright."
Spiritual Activation once again bestowed upon him, Melegon raised his longsword high, and the Falcon beneath him cried out, tearing through dimensions, expanding the Domain.
Roaring sounds echoed around, reminiscent of towering spectator stands of a Dueling Arena, filled with countless indistinct humanoid figures standing among them. Upon closer inspection, they were merely outlines because this was not reality, just the image within this Knight’s heart.
Li Ang and Meimei were delivered to the edge of the Dueling Arena, the door behind them represented the entrance and exit to leave the Domain.
In the flat Dueling Arena, Melegon held the reins with his sword, the Falcon raised its head proudly, facing the opponent across.
That was the body of the Jenoside drawn into this Barrier, it was so massive Melegon could only draw in half of it, on the other end of the Domain, behind this monster’s body was above the ancient ships of the Material Dimension.
However, as long as the core region is drawn in, it’s enough.
Also entering this place were the Knights of the Order Flower Sword Corps, they had already coordinated with the Commander’s Domain, immediately boosting their morale, and their attacks accelerated instantly.
This wasn’t just a psychological effect, but a positive gain brought on by this "Thunderous Combat Arena."
The surface of the Annihilation Star Soul squirmed, forming huge arms and the sharp claws of demons, pulling on the ship’s hull as a weapon, with countless ship cannons firing from its body, launching attacks on the knights from all directions.
Melegon charged forward on his mount, leading the team members to engage in battle with the Annihilation Star Soul.
Li Ang pulled Meimei out of the Domain, commanding the Wind Element to lift them up, flying down towards the lower part of the City of the Ship’s Rudder.
...
In a simple, undecorated wooden room, the young girls of the Star Flower Travel Corps gathered together.
Zoe was not her usual lively self, but sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, meditating, beside her, Anna, alongside Leviathan, was helping her sense a certain power, clusters of Light of the Star Soul shimmered around her.
"Is she going to be alright like this?" Dorothy asked with a frown.
"Shh, it took her a long time to get into this state." Alulu held a finger to her lips.
"I know, I’m just anxious,"
Dorothy looked up, in this cabin, above the wooden ceiling was the island mass of the City of the Ship’s Rudder, hundreds of meters away, was the battlefield of the ancient battleships and Star Souls.
Even from that far, countless vibrations reached through, imagining the intensity of the battle there.
"Sitting here like this, it feels like... we’re hiding. It’s not right." said the Half Elf.
Seeing her say such things, aside from the meditating Zoe, Alulu and Andasu showed expressions of surprise.
"What are you looking at me like that for? Got a problem?" Dorothy blushed a little.
"No, I agree, I don’t want to just sit here either, it’s the master’s wish for me to be this way." Andasu said.
In this situation, the girls who had lived together for so long couldn’t start quarrels, they could understand each other’s minds.
Many ships at the port were either destroyed or assimilated in the Destruction Battleship’s actions, people who could be sent away were mostly gone, and the racing flying airships’ fuel was completely depleted.
Remembering Li Ang’s instructions, Andasu returned to the Shadow Shipyard before running out of fuel, the tightly shut gate opened upon seeing The Howling Wolf, afterwards, he and the others went to the ground to release the blockades.
Dorothy had various Demon-Born Flowers extend their branches, counting each Star Crystal Branch, Dragon Branch, Branch of Prosperity, and Divine Branch one by one.
"What are you doing?" Andasu asked.
"Checking my flowers, thinking about what situations they might be needed for, just in case they’ll be used."
"I’m praying to the Goddess too."
Alulu clasped her hands together, bowing her head in prayer, "Benevolent Goddess, I implore you to cast your gaze, and bestow your blessings upon those fighting in the City of the Ship’s Rudder."
Andasu stroked her new gloves, softly said, "I want to train as well."
"Don’t those inheritances of yours require special tools?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes, the master said he could fix them, but he’s always running into various situations."
The Empire at present is naturally one of the obstacles, Andasu fumed. During a brief alone time earlier, Li Ang had mentioned wanting to look for materials in the City of the Ship’s Rudder, but there was never a chance.
The young girls were finding topics, chatting sporadically, surrounded by the constant vibrations transmitted from the surface, creating a sense of heaviness that prevented them from relaxing.
After a while, the girls heard the sound of the harbor door opening, the wind howled, and someone landed on the ship with the wind.
Amid a flurry of footsteps, Li Ang pushed the door open and entered: "We’re setting off."
