Just as Ron and Karuman were about to reach the deck, the magic airship suddenly shook, and then everyone saw a light shield appear above their heads. Everyone was a little worried that something had happened again, but all their worries vanished when they saw the light shield.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. This is a formation. The magic airship has already activated a defensive formation. This is to protect us,” someone who had seen the formation explained to the others immediately.
“Does this mean that we’re safe?”
“It’s not that simple. They’ve activated the defensive formation. This means that the robbers are about to attack.”
“Can our formation withstand it?”
“How would I know? I’m not the captain.”
Many of these people were very anxious. Like Ron, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing. However, they were mostly ordinary people. After all, it was only the most ordinary magic airship, and there were very few Magi like Ron. It was inevitable to be alarmed when faced with such a thing.
Ron and the others had come to the deck. At this time, there were already more than ten people on the deck. They all looked very calm. Ten of them were wearing the same clothes; they were obviously the ones protecting this magic airship. Ron took a look and found that the strongest among them was only at the peak of the Great Mage realm. He should be the Captain of the Guards, and the strength of the ordinary team members was a little weaker.
This was the standard strength of protection for an ordinary magic airship. The more luxurious the magic airship, the larger it was, the more protection it would have. For example, the largest magic airship Ron had seen previously had two to three Great Archmagi accompanying it, forming the strength of its protective force. There were not only defensive formations on it, but also offensive formations. For example, on their little airship, there was only a defensive formation, and its defense level was not very high. However, it was usually able to withstand the attacks of robbers. If it could not be defended, the outcome would probably be very tragic.
Among those guards, except for the Captain of the Guards who had encountered robbers before, this was the first time the other team members had seen robbers. However, with the Captain of the Guards around, these team members were still relatively calm. Under the command of the Captain of the Guards, they started to defend. And in the hands of a guard, there was a compass-like magical item. That was the core of the magic airship which could control the motion of the magic airship and the activation of the defense formation.
At this moment, some sounds could be heard in front of them. Everyone looked in the direction of the sounds and saw that another magic airship had appeared not far in front. However, it was completely black and hidden in the dark. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to find the other party. At this moment, on the bow of the magic airship, there was a middle-aged man with an aquiline nose. His eyes were ruthless, and he was holding a long sword in his hand. He waved his hand and released a magical power. Instantly, his long sword burned with raging flames, lighting up the airship opposite and attracting everyone’s attention.
“Everyone on the opposite ship, listen up. We’re only here for money. We won’t hurt you. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better quickly turn off the defense formation. Otherwise, if I were to kill my way over personally, none of you will be able to live!”
After the other party had finished speaking, he slashed down with his long sword. Then, the people behind seemed to have activated a formation or something as such. Then, a huge fireball was shot at their magic airship.
Boom!
The fireball hit the boundary of their formation and exploded. Instantly, the entire magical frontier was attacked to the extent that circles of water-like waves radiated out. However, it remained intact, and the entire airship started to shake violently. The ordinary passengers immediately let out panicked screams. Ron did not panic. He looked at all of this and only thought that it was novel and interesting. He was not afraid. Beside him, Karuman was even less afraid. He did not even bother to watch this farce. He had his two arms in his sleeves as if he was a person unconcerned. He even yawned.
“Shit, it is the robbers starting to attack our airship. We’re in danger.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t our defensive formation still intact?”
“But our magic airship only has a defensive formation and does not have an offensive formation. This way, we can only be targets. The other party will soon break the defensive formation. When that happens, we’ll all be dead for sure. Why don’t we surrender now? Didn’t the robber just say that as long as we surrender, we will be spared from death? They only want money.”
“Are you stupid? Do you even believe the words of robbers? If we really open up the defensive formation, we will die even faster.”
The people discussed animatedly. As the robbers continued to attack, more and more people became afraid. Many of them even wanted to surrender. Not only did they want to surrender, they even wanted the Captain of the Guards to surrender. After all, the core of the defense formation was still in the hands of the guards. The guards naturally would not agree to surrender, but those people would not listen at all. They had already been badly shaken by the robbers. Seeing that the Captain of the Guards did not agree, there were actually people who wanted to snatch the control core from the hands of the guard.
Upon seeing this, the other guards hurriedly stood in front of the other party to protect him from their snatching. However, this made the situation even more chaotic. In the chaos, a magical light suddenly lit up in the midst of the group of people. Three persons could be seen beginning to use magical power. They were all very powerful. One was a level-9 Great Mage, another was level-10, and another was level-11. They were very strong, and their target was the Captain of the Guards. They were the robbers hidden on the airship and the ones who had said they wanted to surrender earlier. They had wanted to create chaos and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the Captain of the Guards. This way, they could easily take down the entire airship. The Captain of the Guards had not expected there to actually be robbers lurking on his airship. Just as the magical power of the three people was about to attack, a gust of cold air suddenly rushed out, like a blue flying sword, and flew toward the three Magi who had sneak attacked. It passed directly through their bodies, and they were then directly frozen into popsicles. Instantly, they lost all signs of life.
Then, this cold aura directly soared into the sky and transformed into the phantom of a dragon soul. It went directly through the boundary of the defensive formation and charged at the robbers’ airship.
“Ah ~ ~ It’s actually a gold-tier magical weapon!” The gang leader of the robbers had some experience and knew that this was an attack from a gold-tier magical weapon. At this moment, the phantom of a dragon soul pounced directly at him. He was on the airship and could not dodge, so he could only use magical power to resist.. But just as he released a fire-based magical power, the phantom of a dragon soul had already pounced upon him, instantly freezing him to death.
