Chapter 370 Sudden Change (1/2)
”This team of Dragon Guards is together with Horlaide,” Goa hastily said in the communication channel. ”Their target is the Silvers as well!”
Cerleni's expression was not looking good. If they surrendered, since the guards and Horlaide had already made a deal, the Silvers would still be taken away and given to the buyer, which meant that the rescue mission would have failed. If they did not surrender, the price of so many casualties would be too much for them to pay. He was in a dilemma, but the gunfire did not stop. He had no time to think.
”As long as the Dragon Guards can be kept under control, the problem will be solved,” Han Xiao said in a low voice. This was what the others thought as well.
Following his train of thought, Cerleni yelled, ”Are you crazy! Killing the Dragon Guards is the biggest crime there is here!”
In this territory, committing a crime and attacking the law enforcers were a completely different thing. With that beyond grade A boss here, even if these Dragon Guards were mostly normal people, they could do whatever they wanted to the brutes and the wanted criminals.
”I never said anything about killing or injuring. We have an ice Mage here; she can freeze their flying devices.”
Not waiting for Cerleni to respond, Goa brought the people and arrived at the dock. She immediately said, ”I'm attacking!”
Without any delay, her eyes suddenly turned into snow-white color, and a magic symbol appeared on her forehead. She murmured the spell, and the magic ring on her pale white fingers was flashing. The magic energy in the air gathered, fused, condensed, and formed. The magic language was deconstructed and then reconstructed into the laws of nature, changing reality.
Suddenly, a large amount of low-temperature water vapor appeared in the air. Frost spread out from under Goa's feet, extending all the way to near the flying device. Five ice pillars rose from the ground and captured the flying devices like claws. The low temperature made the flying devices shut down. The flying devices continued to fly forward with their inertia, and the ice pillars extended with them, turning them into ice sculptures. The ice pillar became the bridge between the ground and the flying devices, freezing the five flying devices in midair.
Goa was a grade B Mage, so she had a very strong control. Although the flying devices were frozen, nothing was hurt or destroyed.
The driver of the aircraft pressed around on the control panel in panic. ”All systems are temporarily out of order, restarting, hiss—so cold!”
Theon was furious. ”How dare they fight back! Report to the above! Request back up! Don't let them escape!”
Since what was done had already been done, the mercenaries could only seize the opportunity to run away. They gathered and boarded their own spaceships. Like before, Han Xiao boarded Sky Ring's. The pilot, who did not take part in the battle earlier, had started the spaceship long ago. When everyone had boarded the spaceship, it slowly rose and flew away from Floating Dragon Island.
The Blades' shapeshifting scout had confirmed that there was the smell of Silvers in the boxes long ago. When they opened the boxes, as expected, inside were fifteen Silvers, hugging each other and cowering in the corner with terror on their faces.
They could not see what had happened outside. The sounds of explosions all along the way had already frightened them very badly. When the box was opened, the Silver screamed in terror, and the antennae on their head trembled so fast that they even formed afterimages. It was really cute, and it made Han Xiao feel an inexplicable impulse of wanting to pull them out.
”You're safe. We're mercenaries hired by your friends here to rescue you.” Goa casually used a calming spell and calmed the Silver's emotions. She told the team members to take out translators for these Silver so that they could communicate.
After quite some convincing, these Silver finally calmed down. Goa contacted the employer, and the two groups of Silver met each other and broke into tears.
The employer counted and said with surprise, ”Only fifteen, where's the other two of my friends?”
”Short of two‽” Goa was shocked. If they had missed two people, the reward might be reduced.
The rescued Silver said with faces full of sorrow, ”They were thrown into space by the scavengers.”
Hearing this, Goa breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, ”Lucky lucky, they're just dead.”
Han Xiao was surprised by what she said.
There really aren't any good people among mercenaries, such a black heart.
The following morning, the employer said, ”You have completed the mission very well. Please send our friends back. I will pay for your reward as we agreed.”
After working hard for so many days, they could finally earn the reward. Joy appeared on every mercenary's face.
Knowing that he was about to get the last two class advancement of the compression technologies, Han Xiao was secretly excited.
Boom!
Suddenly, the spaceship trembled violently, and they almost fell down. The pilot said hastily, ”Sh*t, Floating Dragon Island has sent spaceships after us!”
