Nancy's voice was thin and soft, filled with sadness.
"Even though I am defined as Fallen, I heard my parents talk about it when I was a child. In the sky of Edolas, there is a floating island called Ecostalia, which is the hometown of Exceed. They call themselves gods and rule all humans in this world."
Nancy raised his head and looked at the empty sky.
"But my parents said it was just a very soft scam, a lie made up to hide some truth."
Lu Chongwei was listening to Nancy's story. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly sank, and his right hand pressed firmly on the handle of Ryujin Jakka's knife.
"Shhh, there's some movement."
Everyone quickly stopped and hid under the shadow of a rock.
"Buzz--buzz--"
An extremely low mechanical roar came from the sky.
Several flying ships with the Royal Army logo were flying through the clouds extremely arrogantly, speeding towards the royal capital.
"It's the kingdom's flying ship!"
Natsu clenched his fists and stared at the ships.
Under those flying ships, there were several cargo boxes hanging, and extremely weak magic waves could be vaguely detected emanating from them.
"That's... the breath of Magic Crystal?"
Wendy sniffed and his face quickly turned pale.
"I noticed it, that's everyone's aura! They are transporting the remaining Magic Crystal to the capital!"
Lu Chongwei looked at the flying ship in the distance, his eyes bursting with dazzling light.
"It seems that the information given by the reporter is correct. The ceremony will be held in these two days."
The wind in the wilderness carries a pungent dry smell, blowing the corners of Lu Chongwei's clothes.
Everyone's expressions became ugly, especially Natsu, who clenched his fists.
"Two days... there are only two days left!"
Natsu gritted his teeth and roared in a muffled voice.
"Those bastards actually want to drain the magic power of everyone in the guild like batteries. This kind of thing is unforgivable!"
Wendy's little face was now pale, her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was weak.
"In two days, if we walk to the royal capital, we won't be able to make it in time... The distance shown on the map is too far."
Happy lowered its wings feebly and sat on Lu Chongwei's shoulders, his tone full of despair.
"My love, even if I fly as hard as I can, I still can't bring everyone to the royal capital in two days, not to mention the magic restrictions in this world are too severe."
Nancy shook its pair of golden cat ears. It looked at the companions around it who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, with a trace of hesitation in its eyes.
It turned its head to look at Lu Chongwei and suggested in a low voice.
"Lu Chongwei, how about I fly you there? I'm not very strong, but if I only take you with me, I can catch up."
Lu Chongwei shook his head and looked into the distance.
At the end of that wilderness, a temporary Royal Army supply base was standing in the mountain col.
The most eye-catching thing is a flying ship docked in the center of the base.
The flying ship was covered with silver metal armor, with the Royal Army badge printed on the side, and the propellers flashed in the sun.
It is like a sleeping steel giant, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"There's no point in taking me there."
Lu Chongwei raised his finger and pointed at the flying ship casually.
"What we want to save is the entire guild. We really can't do it by walking away, so we snatch it over."
The air fell into silence at this moment.
Nancy's round cat eyes widened, and his mouth opened and didn't close for a long time.
"Snatch... snatch it?"
Nancy's voice became a little sharp due to extreme panic.
"That's Royal Army's latest flying ship! There are at least hundreds of elite soldiers guarding it, as well as various magic cannons. Lu Chongwei, are you crazy!"
Lucy·Ashley was also stunned. Her hand holding the whip shook, her face full of surprise.
"In Edolas, no one has ever dared to challenge Royal Army's base head-on. Dark guilds like ours usually don't have time to hide, but you actually want to rush over and grab the ship?"
Lu Chongwei sneered, with a hint of arrogant confidence in his eyes.
"Hiding is not Fairy Tail's style."
He turned his head and looked at Natsu and Lucy, and smiled.
"What do you think?"
Natsu's originally depressed mood immediately burned up at this moment, and a fiery fighting spirit burst out from his eyes.
"Oh! This is the Zhongwei brother I know!"
Natsu excitedly waved the black sword hilt. Although the flame was still weak, his momentum was completely different.
"Steal the ship, blast it directly into the royal capital, and kick the old king's ass to pieces!"
Lucy also held Celestial Spirit Key tightly and laughed.
"It sounds crazy, but if you follow Zhongwei, I think it will work!"
Nancy looked at these high-spirited guys and held his forehead helplessly.
"Crazy, they are all a group of lunatics..."
Lu Chongwei There was no nonsense. He flashed and turned into an afterimage, swooping down the hillside.
"Follow up!"
Natsu and Lucy howled excitedly, following closely behind.
At this time, soldiers were patrolling lazily in the Royal Army supply base.
"Hey, have you heard? The preparations for the ceremony in the royal capital are almost complete. We have made great achievements this time, and we estimate that we can get a lot of magic power subsidies."
A soldier was leaning beside the ramp of the flying ship, proudly bragging to his companions.
"That's for sure. Those idiots from Earth-land are now in our pocket..."
The words have not yet fallen.
A dazzling white lightning burst out from the hillside.
"Hadō #4, Byakurai."
Lu Chongwei's voice is very stable.
"Boom--!"
The lightning penetrated the spear in the soldier's hand, and the huge impact directly threw him away.
The surrounding soldiers woke up and grabbed magic weapons one after another.
"Enemy attack! Someone broke in!"
"Are you kidding me? There are only three of them? Are these guys here to die?"
The leading captain waved the magic sword in his hand, his eyes full of contempt.
"Surround them up! Keep that man alive, and the adults above will study his magic power!"
Dozens of soldiers rushed forward in unison, their magic spears drawing streaks of blue light in the air.
Lu Chongwei stood in the center of the encirclement, expressionless.
He didn't even pull out Ryujin Jakka, he just took a steady step forward.
"Since you are so eager to die, then I will help you."
Lu Chongwei put his right hands together into palms and waved towards the void.
"Bakudo thirty, Shutotsu Sansan."
Three yellow beak-shaped light sheets were formed, pinning the dozen or so soldiers at the front to the metal bracket at the rear.
"This... what kind of magic is this!"
The captain's expression changed drastically. He looked at the motionless subordinates, fear finally showing in his eyes.
"There is no chanting, no props... who the hell is he!"
