Looking back, you can see that the fuselage of the plane is broken in the middle, and there is black viscous fluid dripping down from the crack. It looks very bad.

The weirdest thing about the current situation is that although the fuselage is broken in the middle and the fuel tank seems to have leaked, the aircraft still insists on staying in the air. Although the attitude of the propeller is turned upward, it still maintains its flying attitude. It just keeps spinning wildly in the air after losing control.

Along with this left-hand shaking, the tears on the fuselage gradually expanded, and it seemed that the connection between the two fuselage parts could no longer hold.

At the same time, sparks began to fly from the engine area. The sparks quickly ignited the leaked fuel. The second half of the fuselage was quickly enveloped in a large ball of flames, and the already shaky lower half of the fuselage quickly fell.

On the way to the fall, half of the fuselage suddenly exploded, and countless parts stained with flames shot out from the flames and turned into Rain of Fire, falling into the sea. At the same time, it ignited the fuel floating on the sea surface, causing a new sea of fire to form above the sea water. Fortunately, it was not large in scale and was quickly burned out.

The upper half of the plane also lost power to maintain flight after the engine crashed, and could only quickly fall into the sea, causing waves several meters high.

Watching the entire plane disintegrate and fall into the sea in front of him, Aaron sighed. He had originally been looking forward to this aircraft equipped with an aviation machine gun. With the powerful lethality of the machine gun, he might not be able to fight against the dragon. But there is no problem with things like Gargoyle used to clean up Scourge. The air power of the Northrend expedition team is still a bit lacking, so we can't just rely on the dragon.

After returning with the results of this test, Aaron told Sicco Thermaplugg all his experience and suggestions, "The most important thing is that the structure of this aircraft is not strong enough to withstand the recoil after the machine gun fires. This is very fatal."

"Let me think about it carefully." Sicco Thermaplugg carefully recorded what Aaron said, then turned around and continued to devote himself to the experiment of the new model of aircraft.

After this less than successful test flight, Aaron rested for a few days at Covenant City and welcomed a group of long-awaited guests - Stonemasons' Guild.

"Mr. VanCleef, welcome to your arrival." Aaron, who had received the news in advance, was waiting at the port before Stormwind City's fleet arrived. He only waited for Edwin·VanCleef to get off the ship before welcoming him aboard.

VanCleef is a tall man. At this time, he has not yet put on his iconic red scarf. His strong facial features make him look very aura no matter where he is placed.

According to Aaron's estimate, the VanCleef in front of him is about thirty years old, and there are not many signs of weathering on his face. However, deep fatigue can still be seen in this man's eyes. The fatigue brought by Stormwind City's long journey has made this man's mental state very bad.

However, despite this, VanCleef's behavior was still impeccable. Judging from his light movements, this former childhood playmate of Stormwind City's chief spy Mathias Shaw was also an elite spy trained by the spy master. Even though he put down the dagger, he still maintained his original state.

If you think about it carefully, this is normal. Otherwise, how could VanCleef lead a group of masons to occupy Westfall but leave Stormwind City helpless?

"I finally meet you, my lord." VanCleef gently shook Aaron's hand, "Thank you for your righteous act in Stormwind City, otherwise my people might have gone astray."

Aaron was surprised when he heard this, and then remembered that VanCleef was probably talking about his accidental collision with Black Dragon Princess. At that time, Black Dragon Princess had already been in contact with the Stonemasons' Guild's people. It seemed that VanCleef was unaware of this.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Aaron saw that Stonemasons' Guild's people were not in a good mental state, so he hurriedly arranged for them to have a good rest. We can't let them work tiredly, right? Aaron didn't want to do that.

Two days later, VanCleef, who had already rested, came to Aaron. Although the fatigue in the eyes of this middle-aged man was still there, at least his energy was not as good as when he just got off the ship. It seemed that it would not affect the start of work.

The purpose of VanCleef's visit was related to this. He expressed to Aaron that he hoped to start work as soon as possible, and euphemistically expressed the hope that Aaron could pay some deposit in advance to facilitate their work.

"This is no problem." Aaron had already discussed this matter with Illucia before Stonemasons' Guild arrived. Illucia provided a suitable solution for Aaron Aaron, for the sake of reassuring people, increased the fixed amount by another 10%. Anyway, since Ya-Mei Trading Company's business is on the right track, Aaron doesn't need to worry about money.

"Mr. VanCleef, I hope these can satisfy you." Aaron pushed the alley full of gold coins in front of VanCleef. This money is just a piece of money in the game. It's just an ordinary number, Aaron probably wouldn't even be able to buy a monthly card, but when the money turned into real gold coins and was placed in front of him, even Aaron himself was a little dazzled.

After learning the amount of the money, VanCleef was slightly shocked, "This... this is a bit too much and is against the rules."

"It's okay, as long as you work hard, it will be fine." Aaron smiled, and then his expression became more serious, "But I don't want to hear that you are not working hard enough and the quality is not up to standard. If that happens, subsequent payments may not be paid as promised."

"No problem, we will definitely build a perfect city for you." VanCleef took a deep look at Aaron, lowered his head, and said sincerely.

He also led his men to rebuild Stormwind City with great ambitions, but in the end he encountered the nobles who looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts and deducted wages for various reasons. After the reconstruction was basically completed, they used various reasons to delay the settlement of the project payment. Suddenly he met a sponsor like Aaron who paid a deposit far exceeding the normal proportion in advance. You can imagine the turmoil in VanCleef's heart.

"There's no need for this," Aaron smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I think Mr. VanCleef's life must have been very difficult during this time. He came from afar, so he might as well rest for a while. Anyway, my place is not an important city, so there is no need to be too anxious."

"Thank you, your generous lord." VanCleef bowed to Aaron, and then continued, "If you don't mind, I would like to start understanding Covenant City's situation now. I need to design a suitable blueprint before starting construction."

"Start working now? Are you in too much of a hurry? Do you really not need to rest for a while?"

"You..." VanCleef shook his head, "You are indeed very different from those nobles. Please rest assured that we have received enough rest and it will not affect our work."

"That's not what I meant..."

"I know." VanCleef smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity and concern. We really want to start working."

"Well, I wish you all the best in your work." Aaron saw that VanCleef insisted and stopped trying to persuade him. He just called Illucia over, and the administrative officer was responsible for taking VanCleef to discuss the matter. To determine the next construction plan, after all, Illucia knows more about Covenant City. At present, most of the construction that Covenant City has carried out is presided over by Illucia.
