Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 1399: Chapter 475: Engagement_2

At the same time, a genius girl with academic achievements possesses not only talent but also meticulous thinking, never doing anything meaningless.

This was why Alder admired Rebecca—wisdom and beauty coexist.

"Because I want to perceive the opponent’s level of strength." Rebecca said softly.

Alder looked enlightened, with a face that said, "Ah, I see."

However, the next second, he became more curious and immediately asked: "Oh? And the result?"

"Hehe, the result isn’t something you’d want to know."

"Although intelligence indicates the opponent is a crystallization wizard, I feel... not quite like that."

"Not quite? That’s actually normal, looking at Ryan’s age, the opponent seems to be younger than you by a year or two."

Alder then gave a gentlemanly smile, as if relieved.

"But even you, the rare genius girl in the Federation, have just stepped into the crystallization wizard level; if the opponent is stronger than you, that’s what’s weird."

At the same time, Alder expressed what he thought was a reasonable inference while slightly praising Rebecca.

"No, Alder, I think, you misunderstand me." Rebecca shook her head and said.

Hmm?

Rebecca’s words also attracted the attention of another middle-aged man nearby.

The man, with a crew cut, was around forty years old, with a resolute demeanor, named Benito Lelli.

He was different from Rebecca and Alder, not from the Federation Mechanical Research Institute but from the Federation Military Department, being transferred for this special task due to also being a rare metal series wizard.

He was naturally aware of Alder’s pursuit of Rebecca, but he didn’t intend to intervene.

Not that Rebecca wasn’t attractive enough, but because he was already married and had a cute daughter.

Therefore, he wasn’t interested in listening to the two’s casual chat.

However, when Rebecca mentioned the Empire’s Ryan, he became intrigued.

"Because when I sat next to him, I didn’t sense any spiritual power fluctuations; it was too abnormal."

"Even for my mentor, I can always sense a hint of unfathomable spiritual power fluctuation." Rebecca’s pretty face turned slightly serious as she spoke.

"Hmm? How can this be?" Alder’s smile stiffened.

Clearly, this answer was beyond his expectations.

Benito also paused upon hearing this remark!

"At first, I didn’t believe it either, but the problem is, the fact is right here." Rebecca looked thoughtful and said.

"Wait, is it possible the opponent has a certain witch artifact, one that... can obscure spiritual power fluctuations?" Alder suddenly thought of something and immediately said.

"Maybe... " Rebecca waved her hand, unwilling to discuss this topic further.

At this point, Benito suddenly glanced towards the sea.

"You two, we may have to mobilize." He looked at the sea and reminded them.

At Benito’s reminder, Rebecca and Alder immediately stopped chatting and turned their eyes to the sea.

A white line could be seen swiftly rushing toward the shoreline.

"Hmm, in this direction?"

After a few seconds of observation, Rebecca frowned slightly, then looked at the position of Obedin and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Because from the current path of the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon, it was not heading towards the Federation city of Obedin; rather, it was heading to the mountains on the other side.

"Something’s wrong, the attack target of the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon seems to not be Obedin." Benito also immediately responded and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" Alder’s expression also froze!

....

The same situation was naturally observed by someone at the Federation’s main airship.

In the captain’s room, a group of Federation high-ranking generals watched the situation on the sea.

"Sir, the opponent’s target doesn’t seem to be Obedin?" A lookout hand confirmed repeatedly then immediately reported.

"Hmm?" The high-ranking generals present all picked up bronze binoculars and examined it again.

"If it’s not Obedin, wouldn’t that be better? The evacuation work in the city wouldn’t need to be so urgent."

"Moreover, we can fight freely, not having to worry too much about the cannons."

A high-ranking military general didn’t think much but showed joy as he spoke.

"Should we investigate further?"

"But time seems short."

"At the opponent’s speed, at most five minutes before they can land the coast."

"..."

Although many present had doubts, in such a short time, no one could figure out the purpose of the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon moving towards the mountains.

As time passed by, with the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon becoming clearly visible, the highest-ranking person present, Federation Deputy Speaker Bertrand, thought for a moment, then immediately decided:

"Since we can’t figure it out, let’s intercept it first!"

"Otherwise, we’ll miss the opportunity."

"The Empire’s airship squad is still watching us, and I hope everyone doesn’t lose face for the Federation."

"Yes! Vice Chairman!" Everyone echoed together.

Although the huge entities of the Federation and Empire decided to cooperate, internally they naturally wanted to determine who was superior, requiring both sides to show their strength.

Therefore, this encirclement of the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon could be seen as a display of each side’s strength, a show of muscle.

The Federation airship squad was responsible for front interception, so the coastline was viewed as a natural defensive line.

No matter where the target of the three-headed sea dragon is, according to the plan, they must intercept the opponent on this side of the shoreline.

...

Within the giant apparatus beneath the Federation airship squad.

Alder, Benito, and Rebecca respectively entered their own ’Ajax’ super giant golem.

"Ajax golem ready to deploy." The messenger’s voice came out.

"3!"

"2!"

"!!"

"Boom!"

The first Ajax plummeted from tens of meters high in the air, directly into the shallow sea area tens of meters ahead of the coastline.

"Boom!"

Followed by the second and third ones....

....

The actions of the Federation were clearly seen by the Empire airship squad on the other side naturally.

Seeing the appearance of the Ajax super giant golems, Ryan couldn’t help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Judging by the power device, it seemed to be in the same league as the Destroyer; though the body was slightly smaller, the gap was not large.

However, the main difference seemed to be the operation mode.

Compared to the automated control system of the Destroyer, the Ajax golem before them seemed to follow another line of thought.

Using crystallization wizards with high spiritual power as operators.

Seeing this, Ryan seemed to understand why the Federation paid him so much attention.

For giant metal golems, high-rank metal series wizards are naturally the best operators.

Even in terms of maintenance, metal series wizards are the most suitable craftsmen or engineer candidates.

Not only can they greatly improve the speed and accuracy of golem production, but general battle damage can also be quickly repaired.

This aspect is especially crucial during frequent battles.

"The level of golem production in the Federation indeed precedes ours." Reginald said, with a sigh, looking at the scene before him.

And the ’Red Queen’ Menia didn’t say anything, still pondering why the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon headed towards the mountains.

....

As the three Ajax golems took a triangle stance in the water tens of meters ahead of the shoreline.

Benito, the operator from the Federation Military Department, stood at the front, while Rebecca and Alder stood one on each side.

The approaching magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon obviously noticed this situation.

"Roar!!"

However, it had no intention to stop, instead letting out a roar and directly charging forward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The first to attack was not the Ajax golem but rather the six medium airships of the Federation airship squad.

The six airships lined up horizontally in a battle formation immediately spewed fire towards the magic-tailed three-headed sea dragon.

But the next second, a giant light blue water film suddenly appeared on the body of the three-headed sea dragon, instantly blocking the incoming shells outside.

The appearance of the water film, however, made the figure on the back of the three-headed sea dragon faintly visible.

"Be careful! Benito, there seems to be someone on the back of the three-headed sea dragon, and behind it too!" Rebecca suddenly shouted in the control room of the Ajax golem.

"What!" Benito’s eyes narrowed, but it was too late.

"Bang!!!"

Seeing the leading Ajax golem controlled by Benito being flew tens of meters by the head-on rush of the three-headed sea dragon...

....
