Chapter 1297 - Arrive at the Front! (1/2)

Yet Hawn soon realized that what he had throught was impossible was real.

The huge birds hovered above the square and then dropped. Hawn could now see clearly the pilot up there who was also peering down. The artifact was even larger than a carriage. Hawn could not understand how such heavy items could fly like a bird in the sky.

The other spectators also wondered the same question.

When the iron birds fleeted across the square, many workers knelt down and prayed.

This must be a miracle.

“Your sister Andrea is also there,” Horford Quinn commented. “Her letter is just dated yesterday.”

It took Hawn a long time to understand the implication behind the word “yesterday”,

All his hair on his back stood on its end as he realized what it meant.

They arrived here in just one day from Graycastle thousands of miles away?

Now, when Hawn thought of his father’s words that “the balance has been broken”, he realized how ridiculous his previous idea was.

The man-made iron birds landed quietly one after another. When Andrea walked off the plane, Horford could not wait to come up to greet her.

…

A banquet was held in the palace to receive these Graycastle witches. Although no nobles were invited, the news that the guests had descended from the sky immediately spread throughout the entire City of Glow.

So many people had witnessed that spectacular scene.

After lunch, Horford finally found an opportunity to speak to his daughter alone.

He was pleased that Andrea would at least call him father now.

“Are you leaving in the afternoon?” Horford asked a little regretfully.

“We must be at the Cage Mountain by the sunset and meet with the First Army,” Andrea said with a nod. “The ‘Seagull’ could have arrived there in one day had this not been our first time traveling abroad. If that was the case, we would probably not have had time to eat.”

Horford was utterly shocked when he heard that the Graycastle men could travel from one country to another within one day. Although he had learned about this amazing transportation tool from his daughter’s letter, he still could not quite take it. He had lectured Hawn earlier regarding the changes in Graycastle, but in fact, he himself was not fully convinced either. Horford sighed internally and said while stroking his beard, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Andrea smiled for the first time. She asked, “You knew?”

“I just think the planes shouldn’t have hovered so long in the air before they landed,” Horford said resignedly. “In that case, everyone in the southern city would hear the noise. Well, it’s indeed a good warning to those nobles who are thinking about stirring up trouble.”

“This is one of the reasons. The other reason is that we need to establish confidence among the public,” Andrea explained while shrugging. I’ve heard that there are demons and Devilbeasts lurking around the Kingdom of Dawn. If the residents here know that the Graycastle army also has the ability to fly, they would not easily get panic.”

“It does kill two birds with one stone. Is this also the idea of that Pearl of the Northern Region?”
