453 Leons Work of Ar (2/2)
It looked like something they would find at a roadside antique store after it was scrapped together by the owner in the hopes of increasing its artistic value to sell at a higher price.
Not only was it unpresentable, but its functions were also questionable—At least, that was the impression they were getting from looking at it.
”What do you mean? This is a masterpiece… Ahem, never mind.” Leon slowly coughed and said, ”We'll know once we test it.”
The improvised tool was shortly activated after Leon drove the Spirit Energy inside the spirit stones with his Divine Will.
An invisible barrier immediately expanded from the improvised tool, sweeping past everyone and enveloped the entire airship in an instance.
Swoosh~!
Everyone's hair fluttered like a gust of wind had just blown past them before the airship shook and surged upwards, rising in altitude at a steady pace.
”Hahaha, so it's working after all.” Leon chuckled lightly.
Everyone was shortly floored, having understood that Leon had no confidence whether it was genuinely going to work or not.
Nevertheless, it worked out in the end.
They quickly recovered and glanced ahead with anticipation amidst the rising dense smoke coming from the Great Forest's outskirts.
Princess Faelyn shook her head and watched the burning forest with deep emotion and worry. Once the fire dies, the rats will sweep the place once more.
Her people will have no choice but to face the endless rat tide with nowhere else to go. It was a long trek to the Great Wall by foot.
The rat tide would not leave them be if they tried to evacuate everyone towards the Human Domain.
Princess Faelyn sighed silently.
It did not take long before the airship rose above the Great Forest.
Once the airship reached roughly 1000fts altitude, Leon commanded, ”Lower the levitation device's power outage, captain!”
”Yes, Your highness!”
Shortly after the captain relayed orders to the crew, the airship rise came to a halt.
Leon did not doubt that the airship would rise to an incredible height if they continue to let the levitation device run at full power after the gravitational pressure had been removed from the airship.
”Where to now, Marquis Haldir?” Leon asked.
Supreme Elder Haldir glanced at the burning forest with great billowing black smoke for a moment, thinking that the forest will continue burning for a long while.
Thus, the defensive line did not need their immediate assistance.
”Please take us straight to Elvengarde, young prince. I need to need to make a report to the council and plan for the tribe's evacuation. You have seen the rat tide for yourself. Their numbers are unending. My people will not survive if they continue to stay here.”
”Sure, no problem.”
Leon nodded in agreement.
Even he was not sure if the Great Wall would be able to hold out against such a large rat tide. Their numbers were simply too huge!
That being said, the Great Wall was still equipped with a better defense than the Great Forest had to offer.
”You heard the Marquis, captain. Take us straight to the big Elder Tree at the Great Forest's center.”
”Aye, aye, Your Highness!” The captain answered.
Shortly after, the airship made headway for the elves' home under the big Elder Tree at the center of the Great Forest, Elvengarde.
