The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 809

Chapter 809: Setting the Strategy

"Sure, come . " Tang Wulin made a gentle slash with his Golden Dragon Claw and cut open the vent . The soul ring on Xie Xie's body flashed once before a Shadow Dragon clone split from his body with the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hand and bored into the vent silently .

The clone shrank under Xie Xie's control and squirmed out . He was soon on the outside .

It was a corridor with a row of solitary rooms on each side . Xie Xie observed his surroundings for a moment, but there was no movement .

He walked cautiously along the wall . He observed his surroundings as he walked .

He was not afraid of being discovered since he was a clone and an invisible one . Nevertheless, he could not allow anyone to discover him near the solitary room because the Northsea Army Corps' guards would associate his presence to their escape .

Fortunately, there was no energy analyzer here . The solitary room was not an important military restricted area as it was mostly used to detain soldiers with military discipline issues .

There were prison cells and security locks along the way . Finally, he arrived on the outside without any incident .

The skies had already darkened on the outside, but the Northsea Army Corps base was still bright as day with soldiers jogging past occasionally .

Xie Xie observed quietly in a dimmed corner . His clone was incapable of functioning too far away from his body . The farthest distance he could go was a kilometer with his cultivation base as a Soul King currently . His soul power and spiritual power consumption would increase tremendously if he were to maintain the control of his clone beyond this distance .

The place was so spacious and vast that Xie Xie had no way of determining his location . Fortunately, he soon stumbled onto the aircraft .

A giant warehouse door opened slowly not far away from the solitary room . An aircraft that had just landed was cruising over and stopped in the warehouse .

Xie Xie was surprised to find the warehouse for parked aircraft was situated next to their solitary room separated by only two walls .

Xie Xie dashed into the warehouse just in time to watch the aircraft canopy opening and four members of the flight crew disembarking from the aircraft .

Xie Xie took a few leaps and landed on top of the aircraft . He then probed around and explored the aircraft .

It was a four-seater fighter aircraft with tight spaces inside . There were all sorts of gauges and complicated instruments while the lights on top were gradually switched off at present . The flight crew chatted as they got off the plane . The lifted aircraft canopy was slowly closing .

There was also another aircraft that was similar to this fighter aircraft in the warehouse .

Xie Xie squinted as he got off the plane silently and quickly returned to the solitary room .


Tang Wulin listened as Xie Xie reported on the situation after which he pondered for a long while . "This is truly a good opportunity . However, I'm afraid it'll difficult for us to fly the aircraft . It's best for us to break into the warehouse and wait until the aircraft is going for a mission . This means that we can't just hijack the aircraft because we'll be easily discovered . Yet, the inside of the aircraft is too small that there's barely space for us to conceal ourselves . "

Xie Xie spoke, "There were a few specialized maintenance staff who went into the plane to check its condition after those flight crew left . I suspect they'll be performing another check before the next flight . "

Yue Zhengyu spoke, "The fighter aircraft's superiority lies in its high speed . It can fly thirty kilometers in the blink of an eye at full throttle . However, the fighter aircraft has too few seats . We'll also need a professional flight crew to fly the plane anyhow . There is utterly no way the plane can take so many of us . Moreover, the risk of two aircraft taking off at the same time and getting caught is high . The capacity of a transport aircraft or helicopter is enough but its slow speed won't even make it out of the Northsea Army Corps base before we're caught . "

Tang Wulin spoke, "Xie Xie, do you think that it's possible for all of us to squeeze into a fighter aircraft without taking the flight crew into account?"

Xie Xie answered hesitantly, "Tough . There are only four seats but seven of us . I'm afraid Xu Lizhi can't fit in one seat . The plane is just too small . "

Tang Wulin squinted . "It's not impossible if some of us can pilot the aircraft . However, we must be able to fly the aircraft . "

"We flying the aircraft?"

Tang Wulin spoke, "The aircraft's control is certainly more complicated than a soul car's, but it may not be more complicated than a mecha's . I think that it's even simpler than the mecha . Leaving with a flight crew is too risky and not within our control . What if we were to meet with a flight crew who faces death with no regrets? Thus, I came up with this idea…"

"Perhaps we have to fly our way out . Yet, who's going to fly the aircraft?" Ye Xinglan asked in puzzlement .

Tang Wulin looked toward Xie Xie, "We still have nine more days . I believe the aircraft in the warehouse will take off once again during these nine days . So, you can take the opportunity to observe how they control the aircraft during take-off and learn the procedure . I'm not asking much of you so long as you can take off and take us where we want to go . We'll only need to fly thirty kilometers . "

Xie Xie widened his eyes as he stared at Tang Wulin . "Big brother, aren't you afraid of a crash? Do you trust me that much?"

Tang Wulin shrugged and spoke, "There's always a possibility of that, but we probably won't end in a crash with Zhengyu and Yuanen present . However, I'm afraid that we may not be able to join the military training anymore if we fail . So, we're counting on you . "

Xie Xie swallowed a gulp of saliva . "Well, I'll give it a shot . "

Tang Wulin spoke, "We still have time so we must organize our plan to our best abilities . Xie Xie, thank you for your effort you'll need to observe and learn about piloting an aircraft . Please pay attention to every single detail . "

For the next few days, Northsea Army Corps would send someone over to monitor the situation in the solitary room daily . The helmet's inner system and handcuff were first damaged before they were donned again . It was an easy task to feign .

After all, the solitary room was so low that the soldiers who were keeping guard only took a glance . They left upon seeing no movement in the solitary room .

It was finally the seventh day .

Xie Xie returned stealthily .

"How's it?" Tang Wulin asked softly .

Xie Xie answered, "I can now confirm that the two aircraft in the warehouse conduct reconnaissance flight missions separately every morning and every night . I've already memorized the procedures of their take-offs . I don't think it would be a problem for me to pilot the aircraft at full throttle . So, when should we take action?"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath . "We've already planned the measure for every possible emergency except for this final bit . The situation this time will be dangerous . However, the Shrek Seven Monsters would never return in defeat . Let's make a move tomorrow morning . It should be easier in the morning since the guards on duty at this time would most likely be tired . "

Early morning the next day .

As the leader of the flight crew, Lu Fu was the first to arrive at the warehouse . He greeted the maintenance crews who were just done examining the aircraft . His face was filled with satisfaction as he looked up to his aircraft .

He was fond of airplanes ever since he was young . He enjoyed the feeling of flying in the sky . He had undergone grueling training in order to become a qualified flight crew . He began flying five years ago after his relentless efforts .

He had invested countless hours of hard work as a flight crew apprentice in the beginning until he became a flight crew chargehand . He was truly passionate about flying .

The aircraft before him was a new model of the Federation's fighter aircraft named 'Skywing F-17' . It was the seventeenth generation of fighter aircraft equipped with soul turbine ejector capable of instant acceleration and breaking the sound barrier within twenty-six seconds . It was equipped with four soul-destroy cannons for continuous attacks and built to carry eight fixed soul bombs for high altitude long-range attacks . It was a new generation of attack aircraft that could launch attacks from the air . This generation of fighter aircraft was adopted by the Federation six years ago and had been in active service ever since . It was well known for its stability and super fast attacking speed which was most suited to execute continuous attacks in tandem with the mecha . Alternatively, it could be used as the mecha troop's fire support .

The fighter aircraft Skywing F-17 had a length of thirty-six meters and a twenty-nine-meter wingspan . It was equipped with one turbine ejector so it needed a distance of nine hundred meters to take-off .

All this information was deeply seared into Lu Fu . He loved his fighter aircraft and was thoroughly familiar with its every detail .

The Skywing F-17's complete flight crew team was made up of four people, namely the aircraft captain who was also the chargehand of the team, the co-captain, the cannon shooter, and the missile shooter .

The captain's main responsibility was flying the Skywing F-17, while the co-captain was in charge of navigating, communicating with the control tower, and monitoring the radar .

The missile shooter and the cannon shooter were in charge of handling the missile and cannon control systems respectively . Hence, the necessity of equipping the Skywing F-17 with four flight members .
