Regardless of whether he or she will take action in the end, every newly appointed leader of Qingtian Kingdom will take the trouble to describe his policy and describe the glorious future of the country. The people are not idiots. After discovering that Robin has disappeared, they immediately guessed that Ironwood The general implemented military changes.
The residents of Qingtian City were trembling and did not dare to commit suicide next to the military camp called "Qingtian Academy"; the residents of Mante City originally had great objections to General Ironwood, but now they have completely exploded, and even if they send out the army to suppress it, they cannot The public protests were completely extinguished, but Qingtian City and Mante City were hundreds of meters apart in altitude. No matter how fierce they were, they could not climb up to Qingtian City by stacking arhats.
During this period, the "Happy Huntress Organization" did not become the organizer of the protest. They had received Robin's instructions early and had been waiting for the completion of the communication tower project. Although they did not agree with General Ironwood's approach, they did not intend to let the project be abandoned halfway.
However, please remember one thing - before the internal strife, they had external enemies.
After the evil scientist and Scorpion Man were arrested, Xin De and Jade arrived in Mante City and hid in a vehicle transporting construction materials. They arrived at the construction site of the communication tower and landed at the Harmony Arena next to an abandoned dust crystal mine. Everything suddenly became clear to them. .
After reporting to Salem, Salem immediately sent a large number of beast-killing troops A over there. The stationed Qingtian Kingdom army was completely unable to withstand it, and the new communication tower that was about to be completed collapsed.
The results of the efforts of the past six months were gone, the plan that had been a spiritual sustenance went bankrupt, the troops with high hopes collapsed, and Salem's beast-killing army soon arrived, putting General Ironwood under immense pressure and made a decision—— Transport Mante City's supplies to Qingtian City as much as possible, use the power of the Rod of Creation to lift Qingtian City into the sky, and use Qingtian City's artificial climate system to protect the living environment of the citizens.
At this moment, the "Happy Huntress Organization" that had been lurking for a long time began to take action. It had many goals, including rescuing the imprisoned Robin and its members, taking away the lamp of knowledge placed in the safe, destroying the intelligent robot control system, Suppression of ammunition depots, etc. caused Qingtian Academy to be in a mess at this time.
"Hand over the Lamp of Knowledge, Robin!" General Ironwood led the most capable gold agents to catch up with the most important target.
"Do you think I would hand over a sacred object to a dangerous man like you? If you want to take it back, you have to step over my body first!" In addition to the two most capable subordinates around Robin, there are also Ruby and Wei Si, Lielian, and Nora, and she chose to hand over the lamp of knowledge to her subordinates whose external image power was 'scope invisibility'.
General Ironwood said loudly: "Why don't you understand! The reason why I chose to abandon the city of Mante was to ensure that the holy objects would not fall into the hands of Salem!"
"Today you can choose to abandon the residents of Mante City, tomorrow you can choose to abandon the humans on the ground, and the day after tomorrow you can choose to get rid of everyone in your own body." Robin gestured to his subordinates, asking them to activate their external image power to hide their Whereabouts, "In my opinion, your righteousness is mixed with strong selfishness. Once you gain power comparable to Salem, you will even become a disaster that surpasses Salem."
General Ironwood's eyes widened, anger covering his reason, revealing a nature that perhaps he didn't even know he had: "If you can't understand my right path, then go to hell - attack!"
Unlike the Kingsmen who charged without thinking, Winter hesitated and blocked the high-speed sword almost out of instinct. Only then did he notice the identity of the attacker: "Weiss!?"
"...Winter." Just like what she said before, Wei Si seemed to have forgotten her swordsmanship. This slash was already very honorable, and she immediately stepped back and distanced herself, using her ancestral image power to summon the armored giant.
Winter dodged the armored giant's attack and did not fight back: "Why! Why do you appear here!"
"The reason why I chose to become a hunter is to wash away the stigma of the Xue Ni family." Wei Si manipulated the armored giant to attack with a sad look on her face, "At this moment, I need to wash away the stain you have on the name of 'Xue Ni' ...!"
"!" Winter was stunned for a moment. Although he could easily dodge the slash, he blocked it with his sword as if subconsciously, and was knocked away as expected.
"Winter!?" Weiss was startled and wanted to rush over to check on her sister.
"...I'm fine!" Winter, who fell to the ground, got up immediately. She still had a lot of energy left, and she wouldn't be hurt even if she was hit three or four more times, but she was not immune to the knock-up effect. "Is that so? ...In your opinion, have I become a shame to the Xueni family?"
Wei Si hissed with tears in her eyes: "It's not too late to look back now!"
"——Yes, it's not too late to look back now." A figure fell next to Winter.
"Penny!?" Ruby, who was using her external image power to run around the place, suddenly stopped beside the figure.
"I am not the guardian of Qingtian City... I am the [Guardian] of the citizens of Qingtian City and Mante City!" The intelligent robot Penny smiled and stood back to back with Ruby, "Let us fight together, 【friend】!"

"When the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming naked." Feiton waved his hand and erased the scene of the battle in Qingtian Academy.
It's not that they don't care about the fighting situation, but they plan to go there in person.
"This seems to be the worst development~" Dia, who just walked out of the space channel, smiled and said, "Let me guess, holding two holy objects and leading his own airship fleet to run away?"
Feiton smiled contemptuously: "It's worse than that. He plans to drain Mantle City of its supplies and then use the power of the Rod of Creation to raise Qingtian City to the sky."
The plan mentioned by Dia will make Mante City and Qingtian City lose their defensive strength, but Salem's primary target is the holy object, and the target of pursuit will be the airship fleet; General Ironwood's plan, in order to prolong the flight after ascending to high altitude, In order to maintain the endurance of Qingtian City, the time of ascension must be delayed as much as possible in order to obtain more supplies from Mante City, which means that Salem's beast-slaying army will be attracted.
"He is quite cruel. He is a person who does big things." The space channel closed, and Dia threw the Crown of Choice in his hand. "Unfortunately, the way he used the Rod of Creation was too stupid, and he inexplicably thought that as long as he flew enough It’s absolutely safe when you’re high.”
"Well, let's stop here. You are not smart to begin with. If you try to understand the idiot's thoughts, you will really become an idiot one day." Feiton looked at the crown of choice and threw it to Liz, "It seems that the holy object They are all soul containers, maybe they are people from other planets who have offended the God of Creation."
"It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with us." Dia said indifferently, "Speaking of which, the hiding of this thing is quite creative. No wonder Ozma dared to abandon Beacon Academy and run around."
Feiton said amusedly: "Let me guess, you didn't find the treasure trove in a way that respects Ozma's creativity."
Dia retorted: "What, are you the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder who holds a shotgun in your hand and has to find the key when facing a locked wooden door?"
"Are you ready to go?" Liz urged angrily, "While you were chatting, those little hunter boys might have died."
Dia smiled and asked: "What, you care about them?"
Feiton said confidently: "Of course I will care about them. They are just, kind, courageous, and the most important thing is that they are good-looking!"
"...it doesn't matter what the priority is." Liz learned to complain.
Some people died, but not completely...
