With those words spoken, Zhuzi’s head lolled to one side, and he fainted.
In truth, after Li Xiuning’s appearance, there was no need for him to explain these matters further.
But as the commander of a division, this was his duty.
The black dragon, on the verge of death, was sent back to the research institute by its brethren and sisters, handed over to Yu Ren and Yu Jie for treatment.
On the other side of the passage,
“We must send people to hold them back and create an opportunity to send the Duke and Madam Tong through.”
“What do you need?” Li Xiuning cast an appreciative gaze at him.
This young man, he’s capable!
Xue Rengui stepped forward, cupped his fists, and replied, “Reporting to Her Highness the Eldest Princess, we need nothing. One gold-mining vessel for each person is sufficient!”
Li Xiuning praised him heartily, “Good! You are indeed soldiers trained by An Zhi, possessing great courage!”
“Go now, and after the mission is accomplished, I myself will petition the Emperor to grant you official titles!”
Crow, who witnessed this scene, was also deeply moved and volunteered, stepping forward.
“Your Highness the Eldest Princess, perhaps I can assist them.”
However, Li Xiuning decisively rejected his kind offer, “Your status is not suitable for direct involvement.”
“Moreover, An Zhi and Tongtong still rely on you to be sent through for treatment, so you should wait here patiently.”
Crow was somewhat unwilling; he genuinely wished to fight alongside these men!
Furthermore, Wang Xuance, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui – these were all legendary generals!
Having such an opportunity, he could boast about it for a lifetime back home!
He looked at the team members who had accompanied him and spoke again.
“Your Highness the Eldest Princess, my brothers are all skilled individuals.”
“With them staying here, it is sufficient. I am more familiar with the combat tactics of the m army; you should allow me to accompany you.”
Li Xiuning looked at Crow, then at the several team members Crow had brought, and finally nodded in agreement.
“Very well, all of you, be careful!”
“Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, for your approval!”
Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang bowed in unison, cupping their fists.
After speaking, they left with Crow.
“Brother Crow, can you pilot… Never mind, I assume you won’t be able to…”
Wang Xuance led Crow to a gold-mining vessel and briefly explained how to operate it.
“You have such advanced flying machines?”
Upon hearing this, Crow’s eyes widened immediately.
Without engines, relying solely on sunlight to fly perpetually – this was simply incredible!
Solar-powered aircraft were not unknown in Earth’s history.
For instance, Solar Impulse 2 was a pure solar-powered aircraft and had even completed a circumnavigation of the globe.
But that thing was second only to the Airbus A380 in size, with a wingspan of a terrifying 72 meters!
Looking at the egg-like gold-mining vessel before him, its size was so compact, which made him feel shocked!
It’s just…
With such advanced flying machines, why couldn’t he find any weapon equipment on them?
“What flying machines? These are merely mining vessels!”
Wang Xuance waved his hand, then continued with a smile, “Brother Crow, would you like to try flying one?”
“By the way, this thing can reach speeds of up to Mach 2. Would you like me to prepare a G-suit for you?”
Crow: …
“Perhaps… one set?”
Mach 2, without a G-suit, he’d surely kill himself in the air!
He put on the suit, boarded the gold-mining vessel, and tried flying according to Wang Xuance’s instructions. The operation of this thing was extremely simple.
With his left and right hands, the control buttons numbered no more than ten in total!
Moreover, the button layout looked similar to those in arcade games, making it incredibly easy!
After trying for a short while, he nodded at Wang Xuance with great satisfaction.
“We can set off!”
