Chapter 505: Air Force (Seeking Subscription)
Given the current tense relations between the two great empires on the continent, it seemed inevitable that conflict would soon arise, especially with the involvement of the church of light and the unique geographical position of Golden Island. At this moment, Zhao Hai should ideally remain at Golden Island rather than heading to the grasslands.
However, Zhao Hai and his companions did not share this sentiment. After analysis by Lando and Galen, they believed that the two empires would not easily go to war at this time.
Thus, Zhao Hai wanted to seize the opportunity to visit the grasslands, where spring had already arrived, grass shoots were sprouting, and the orcs were beginning their herding and communications. It was indeed the right time to go.
Additionally, during this period, Zhao Hai had been quite busy, operating as a night five-times a night, and now as an eighth-level expert, he naturally faced no issues. However, Laura and the others were concerned about his health and insisted he should not continue this way. Now, he could only rest with one person each night.
Zhao Hai has come to understand the difficulties of having multiple wives. He loved them all equally, but every time he thought about resting in one person's room while the others were alone in theirs, he felt a pang of sadness.
Fortunately, Laura and the others did not exhibit any jealousy, which pleased Zhao Hai but also made him feel guiltier.
Even though Zhao Hai had become quite like a person from the Ark Continent, some of his thoughts still resembled those of an Earthling. If it were someone from the Ark Continent, they wouldn't have such thoughts.
Currently, the Roson Empire and the Aksu Empire were engaged in a stalemate, both sides holding reservations and hesitating to take action. Nevertheless, the Roson Empire was applying economic pressure on the Aksu Empire, causing significant discomfort to the latter.
This time, Zhao Hai and his group did not plan to travel to the grasslands by cart or ship; instead, they intended to ride the flying eagle.
After several upgrades, the Blood Eagle had grown stronger and more powerful, so Zhao Hai wanted to travel on the flying eagle. This way, others would become aware of the Blood Eagle's existence, and when he suddenly appeared in any part of the continent, no one would suspect him.
Zhao Hai planned to take Laura and the others with him, of course, along with Xu Wanying and Shun Yi. However, he did not intend to bring Mu Tou and Shi Tou, as they were still needed to hold the fort at Golden Island. Zhao Hai believed that they should not be confined to being bodyguards but instead be trained to become elite members like Galen.
The two did not object, understanding Zhao Hai's intentions, and they had been learning from Kun Zheng. Additionally, with the spatial connection, they could see Zhao Hai anytime, so it wasn't a significant issue.
Zhao Hai and his party set off to the grasslands on the flying eagle. However, this caused quite a stir in the Roson Empire, as there were currently no known flying magical beasts capable of being ridden on the continent, and until now, there had been no air force. The sudden appearance of one caused everyone to take notice, including His Majesty the King himself.
An air force meant an additional means of attacking enemies and conducting reconnaissance, so it was natural that people would pay attention.
The first to find Zhao Hai was Lando. He hadn't expected Zhao Hai to have such a magical beast. Once he heard the news, he immediately sought Kun Zheng, instructing him to find Zhao Hai and ensure the Karlqi Family also had an air force.
Kun Zheng felt that this matter was not easily managed. He quickly informed Zhao Hai, who asked Kun Zheng to relay a message to Lando that he was waiting for someone.
Upon hearing this, Lando understood immediately. As the head of the family, he had seen many things, so he quickly realized who Zhao Hai was waiting for—it was, of course, His Majesty the King.
