Chapter 72

As the momentum waned, the twelve petals, whistling sharply, were forcefully embedded in the grass beside the main runway of the 911 Air Base.

A mental-type illusory dragon with a body covered in snow-white scales and a golden-type digital dragon with wings composed of countless sharp blades descended from the sky. The fourth-generation "Sky Falcon," with its four wind-element pulsating wings vibrating intensely, landed sequentially on the tarmac.

Although the Sky Realm does not reject the technological civilization of the Blue Planet, and the variety and quantity of technological products among the intelligent races of the Sky Realm are increasing, the Sky Realm still maintains its own mainline of civilization development. It has not fully accepted Blue Planet technology and has no intention of abandoning its own advantages in magic and battle qi.

In fact, on the Blue Planet side, the number of magical artifacts has also greatly increased, and the application of magic has become more widespread, to some extent promoting the development of technology.

In the continuous exchange and trade, the cultural systems of the two worlds will tend to align, yet they can still maintain their own characteristics due to distance and historical culture. The integration of civilizations always takes thousands of years, and the ruling classes of both planets are well aware that to accelerate this process, there is only one way.

War!

After the great war among the three realms thirty years ago, no one wants to fight now.

Even the Neanderthal remnants who have now integrated into both worlds do not wish to. The Supreme Council has already been completely destroyed, and the twelve ruling tribes have been annihilated. Peace is hard to come by. Why not live well without returning to the resource-depleted, desolate Primordial Realm?

The mental-type illusory dragon raised its chin proudly and looked down at the humans on the ground. A wave of mental energy swept over the entire base.

Almost everyone's mind heard the voice of a young woman.

"I am Claudia, from the Sky Dragon City of the Sky Realm!"

Then it tilted its head at the female golden-type digital dragon beside it and said, "Irilan, introduce yourself."

Even though the golden-type digital dragons have collectively evolved, they are still insulators to mental energy and could not receive the information carried by the mental energy wave.

"I am Irilan, a golden-type digital dragon. I am thirty years old and in my senior year of high school. I don't have a dragon knight!"

The female golden-type digital dragon had evolved a metallic membrane, which amplified her voice three to four times through magnetic oscillation, making it clearly audible in every corner of the air base.

A high school junior!

The "roar" of the dragons left the gathered crowd speechless, with a strange sense of humor.

But why does the word "dragon knight" sound so much like "boyfriend"?

The fake fans felt their worldviews refreshed.

After the "Halo" portal connected the two worlds, not only did the human race of the Sky Realm learn a lot from the Blue Planet, but many intelligent races, including the dragon race, also kept up with the times.

Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and university, nothing was missing, and even academic credentials were mutually recognized.

However, the basic education of the dragon race is a bit different. In addition to general courses such as language, mathematics, natural biology, society, geography, physics, chemistry, economics, politics, and computing, there are also traditional survival and combat skills. After all, sharp teeth, sharp claws, and hard scales, along with innate magic (except for the golden-type digital dragons), are the fundamentals of the dragon race.

A magic-armored air knight stepped forward, heavily pounded his chest, and loudly declared, "I am Mikro, the captain of the First Squadron of the Northern First District Air Cavalry of the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm!"

"I am Moran, the captain of the Shadow Fox Squad of the First Squadron of the Northern First District Air Cavalry of the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm!"

"I am Tali, a member of the Shadow Fox Squad of the First Squadron of the Northern First District Air Cavalry of the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm!"

"I am Roganda, the captain of the Cracked Armor Snake Squad of the First Squadron of the Northern First District Air Cavalry of the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm!"

The four air knights, two men and two women, all came from the Northern First District Air Cavalry of the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm.

Over the past thirty years, the Slan Empire of the Sky Realm launched a unification war, conquering various countries and achieving global unification, declaring itself the Slan Dynasty.

The human nations that originally had dragon knights did not last long due to the dragon race's withdrawal from human internal conflicts. The war lasted eleven years before finally subsiding, leaving the Sky Realm with no other sovereign nation. The royal families or royal houses of the various countries had most of their assets confiscated, and their members were demoted to commoners, stripped of political rights for three generations, and relocated to unfamiliar continents, preventing any resurgence.

Apart from the human race, other intelligent races still maintained a loose organizational structure, required to register their household, even intelligent magical beasts were not exempted. Higher-ranking intelligent races were even required to wear satellite tracking devices, despite some reluctance.

Due to the close relationship between the current Dragon King and the human race, and the need to fight against extraterrestrial races, the dragons had long registered and been tracked, with little opposition to the household registration policy, which was also a necessary tool for the Dragon King to manage his own people.

The intelligent races, who were forcibly recognized as citizens of the Sky Realm, soon reaped the benefits, not only being able to move freely in cities but also crossing boundaries for tourism or work, making life more colorful.

The unprecedentedly unified Slan Dynasty, following the example of the Blue Planet, divided the Sky Realm into twenty-four time zones, further divided into the Southern and Northern Zones based on the equator, and established the meridian line near the capital, Delan City. The Northern First Zone is the Royal Garrison Zone.

The four air knights also serve as the elite royal air knights.

"Hello, I am Hanag格尔, the executive manager here, welcome to the 911 Air Base."

In the crowd, the one-eyed female executive manager stepped forward without hesitation. In fact, she was the one under the most pressure.

The Sky Dragon City sent its own dragon envoy, and the Slan Dynasty sent its own royal air knights to escort them, further enhancing the diplomatic status.

For this, the chairman of the Tianqi Defense Group's phone was almost ringing off the hook, all demanding strict attention to this diplomatic event, not to cause any trouble, and even to destroy the 911 Air Base if necessary.

The mental-type illusory dragon directly got to the point, "Can we start now?"

It came with a mission, not for sightseeing.

Moreover, the barren and desolate Hindukush Mountains were not worth seeing.

"Of course, we are ready!"

Hanag格尔 nodded, feeling a bit nervous.

What must come will come, and there's no way to avoid it. She could only hope that this time it would pass smoothly.

The personnel manager, Takal, squeezed forward, anxiously asking, "Wait, Manager Hanag格尔, what are we starting?"

There seemed to be some unspoken understanding between the dragon and the executive manager, making him feel extremely uneasy.

If something major were to happen, why wasn't everyone informed in advance? This sudden move left no room for mental preparation, inevitably leading to overthinking.

Not just him, but many others in the air base also looked uneasy.

Chen Fei heard the deputy squadron leader of the "True Fragrance" squadron, "Devil Pepper" Ilene Rieux, whisper in his ear, "Looks like we're in for trouble!"

Whether it was the one-eyed woman or the higher-ups at Tianqi Defense Group, it was clear that something was being hidden, which was very frustrating.

The short-haired girl felt that the nickname the big bear gave the new executive manager was quite fitting.

"Are they going to sacrifice us to the heavens?"

The clueless Chen Fei blurted out.

He couldn't understand what the 911 Air Base had that could attract the dragon race.

This place is really toxic!

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chekov was also alarmed.

A rookie is a bird, a crow is a bird, hoping these two birds aren't related.

These damn capitalists should be shot!

"Everyone, please rest assured. This is an investigation, not much different from the recent psychological counseling."

As for the real reason, Hanag格尔 still didn't want to reveal a single word.

There are no walls that don't leak. The more people who know, the greater the risk of a leak, and the more unnecessary trouble it would bring to the Tianqi Defense Group.

The Tianqi Defense Group did not obtain the heart core of the golden-type digital dragon Bit, not even a fragment. The dragon race is also concerned about this issue, even more so than anyone else, wanting to recover the heart core that houses the dragon soul, even if other parts of the remains are not important.
