"An airship?"
"Could it be Zero Wing?"
When Jiu Long Huang and the others heard the word "airship," they instinctively thought of the Zero Wing Guild.
Back when an airship first appeared in the Divine Realm, it had shaken all the major superpowers to their core, and the name "Zero Wing" had been permanently etched into the minds of every major force from that moment on.
After all, in an era where flying mounts were so scarce, the benefits a single airship could bring were immense. Moreover, the airship's own combat power made it an undisputed ruler of the skies—without aerial weapons to counter it, it was practically devastating to ground players and war machines alike.
But when Jiu Long Huang and the others thought of Zero Wing, they couldn't help but shake their heads. It couldn't possibly be Zero Wing.
Not for any other reason, but because there were a full three airships!
In an era where even a single flying mount was incredibly difficult to obtain, Zero Wing having one airship was already extraordinarily fortunate. Acquiring three airships? That was simply impossible.
Feng Qianyu and Qing Huang, standing nearby, found this equally perplexing.
They already knew Zero Wing would be coming, but three airships—what was that about?
"Could it not be Zero Wing?" Feng Qianyu's slender brows furrowed slightly, her expression growing solemn.
Three airships was no joke. Based on what they knew, a single airship was enough to give any guild city a serious headache. If three attacked together, even if they didn't seize the city outright, it would likely be left in ruins.
Even the Mu Tian City that the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had managed for so long would struggle to hold against three airships.
This was precisely why every major superpower was so fanatical about flying mounts.
Facing an aerial juggernaut like an airship without any flying combat units to counter it meant an overwhelming disadvantage. Even if a guild city had turrets and arrow towers for defense, hitting something hurtling through the sky at high speed was nearly impossible—all you could do was take the beating. Striking a moving target was exponentially harder than hitting a stationary one.
"Three airships?" Han Guang Shiying was also brimming with curiosity. "Has some force on the Eastern Continent already reached this level?"
Airships existed on the Western Continent as well, but they were extremely difficult to obtain and required a considerable amount of time. This was one of the reasons she had chosen Zero Wing.
The airship's military power displayed in the air was secondary—what truly mattered was its convenient transportation capability and team dungeon-clearing potential, both of which were enormously beneficial for a guild's development.
Feng Qianyu and the others immediately headed out the main gate with their subordinates, wanting to see just who had arrived.
Hovering above the stronghold's plaza, three massive steel beasts hung suspended in midair, blotting out the sky. The roar of their magical power sources echoed throughout the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's stronghold, and the turbulence they kicked up could be clearly felt even by the players outside the compound.
Facing such a spectacle, even the veteran Dragon Phoenix Pavilion experts—who had been through countless major battles—were deeply shaken.
Even though the three airships hadn't displayed any firepower and were simply hovering there, they already felt their breathing grow heavy, as though a colossal beast were looking down upon ants, filling them with the urge to flee for their lives.
It was precisely because of this that the entire Mu Tian City garrison of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had allowed the airships to hover above the stronghold without issuing any warnings or attempting to drive them off—they could only stare fixedly at the three vessels, bracing themselves for whatever came next.
As Feng Qianyu and the others emerged from the manor's main gate, the lead airship in midair began a slow descent. The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion members in the plaza instinctively parted to create an open area, fearful of displeasing the steel behemoth.
At the same time, everyone was burning with curiosity—who exactly were these people who could pilot three airships here? Even the great super guilds didn't necessarily possess that kind of aerial combat power.
Just as everyone was wondering which superpower it might be, the airship's hatch crashed open, and more than a dozen figures walked out. These dozen-odd players had not only all reached Tier 3 classes and level 105, but each one wore a Six-Winged Badge.
"Zero Wing!"
"How is that possible?!"
The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion members stared at the scene, completely dumbfounded.
