As it happened, just as Zhang Tie flew out of the cave, one of the airships scattering and fleeing through the sky came charging toward him—and that Winged Devil's target was precisely that airship rushing toward Zhang Tie.
The steam ballistae aboard the airship roared as they fired at the Winged Devil.
