Chapter 36 Test flight was successful

"Continue to heat up! I'll cut off the rope!" Roger looked at the balloon above his head, and it was probably almost the same as flying. At this time, he picked up the axe in the basket and cut off the rope tied to the basket with an axe.

Sure enough, after another half a minute of heating, the huge buoyancy of the hot air balloon slowly lifted the large basket below and more than 20 people in the basket to the sky together.

As the basket left the ground little by little, and became higher and higher... all the soldiers and craftsmen on the ground held their breath, stared at the eyes widened, opened their mouths and raised their heads to look at the hot air balloons and the big basket that were rising higher and higher...

Some people even opened their mouths and kept looking at the balloon, which caused them to be dislocated and couldn't stop, causing the medical soldiers to be busy for a while.

In the big basket, for those who have never flew up, the current scene is really shocking! And it is not with the help of any flying monsters or magic, so that everyone forgets what they should do. Even Zeppelin himself lay on the edge of the basket, looking at the houses, villages, mountains, rivers on the ground...

Compared with the person who was dazed inside and outside the basket, Roger was the clearest-minded one. Although he had never sat on a hot air balloon in his previous life, he had been on a plane and was considered a person who had flown. In this life, he was a wind magician. He would float when he practiced level 5. Although this floating technique is still fundamentally different from level 7 flight technique, it can at least play a role in gliding. Therefore, Roger stayed in the sky a lot.

As Zeppelin and his assistants watched the views of the ground and the sky with great enthusiasm, Roger sighed, walked to a stove at the end of the big basket, and a fire started. At this time, at the end of the big basket, the thing with three leaves, rotated rapidly, making a huge roar, and a stream of air was sprayed out along the slurry leaves... The hot air balloon began to slowly move forward with the big basket.

"Ah! I actually forgot that I am the driver of this hot air balloon!" Zeppelin suddenly woke up after finding that the airship had started forward, and hurried to the end of the basket and took over the work in Roger. He was so impressed by Roger that he was impressed by Roger. Unexpectedly, Mr. Roger was not only a magical genius, but also a military commander, but also an excellent inventor. He could even think of such a wonderful thing as an airship.

"How is it? Do you think my airship is OK?" Roger asked with some smugness.

"So this thing is called an airship!"

"It's really good! A flying ship! A good name!"

In the basket, the Is generals looked at their feet happily... The hot air balloon was slowly floating forward, and they had risen to a very high altitude. The scenery around the Broken Soul Castle, the red mountains in the distance, and the Shudoen River nearby... are completely visible.

"Brother Roger! I didn't expect that the Broken Soul Castle looked as big as a palm! It was so amazing!" Annie stood beside the basket and danced.

"Please note: don't stand on one side, as the basket will easily lose balance. You must keep the number of people on both sides equally so that they will be stable." Roger saw that many people were rushing to him and Annie, and quickly reminded him.

Everyone woke up and scattered around the basket. They had to ask Roger all kinds of strange questions from afar.

Roger also smiled and answered patiently one by one.

After about three hours, I had enough view of everyone.

Delfang asked carefully: "Brother Roger, this airship...I don't know what language to express my excitement...it is simply amazing, it's such a wonderful thing...but, but what I want to ask is...we have been flying for so long now...how can we land?"

"Haha... Legion Commander, don't worry. I just need to lower the temperature of the fire in the stove and it will slowly fall... In fact, according to Mr. Roger's calculations, I should be at the Lightning Army camp now!" Zeppelin came over and said with a smile.

"What? Our legion's original camp? I heard it right!" Del and Dias asked in unison.

"Have you arrived? You will know if you land in a while and you will go down and take a look?" Roger also said with a smile.

"No! It takes five days to go from Lightning Army camp to Soul Broken Castle even if it's fast! I changed the horse once and ran to four days in advance. Brother Roger, have you made a mistake?" Simon asked with some doubt.

"Haha, do you forget that birds fly faster than horses? And Mr. Roger said that the thing he installed at the end of the basket called spiral can make the airship fly faster than the birds, especially on long-distance flights." Zeppelin said confidently at this time. He is now a loyal fan of Roger.

The airship had slowly landed at this time. When it stopped in front of a military camp gate, the soldiers at the gate surrounded the extremely huge guy curiously.

"Ah! Your Highness the Princess!"

"Ah! Legion Commander!"

"Ah! Mr. Roger!"

“…”

The soldiers were stunned as they looked at the big figures emerging from the big basket.

But these people are more surprised than them.

Del looked at the gate of the barracks in front of him, especially the flags at the gates and the soldiers surrounding him, and was so surprised that he kept his mouth wide open. If an officer hadn't asked him about it, he would have lost his chin.

"Legislative Commander, why did you come back to the camp to see us? Didn't you notify me?" A commander in the camp had already learned the news and hurriedly ran out of the camp to greet him.

Del recognized that this was a captain whom he stayed to guard the camp. Now the camp of the Lightning Corps has become a training camp for training newly recruited soldiers.

"This... Thurberchell, is this really... our Lightning Army camp?" Del looked surprised.

"Yes! Legion Commander, are you okay?" Thurberchell was also extremely surprised to see so many senior figures.

Everyone walked to the gate of the military camp, looked carefully, and talked with the soldiers for a while, and finally confirmed that they were in the Lightning Army camp.

"Oh my God! It takes more than five days to walk, but this airship actually arrives in half a day. Flying is indeed much faster than running!" Simon sighed.

"Okay! Gentlemen, I think we'd better go back to the airship as soon as possible and start flying back, so that we can still rush back to the Soul Broken Castle for dinner." Roger was stunned when he saw everyone getting off the airship, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

Everyone woke up. It was noon now. Although Thurberchell was full of suspicion, he saw that Del did not say what the big balloon was, so he did not ask tactfully. When he heard Roger say he was leaving, he immediately asked the food officer to send some dry food and drinking water to everyone to take it on the airship. This made everyone feel very good to him.

Del waved his hand and asked the soldiers around the airship to leave, and then the group jumped into the basket again.

Zeppelin commanded the assistants to reheat the air in the hot air balloon. The hot air balloons slowly rose, and the soldiers on the ground also exclaimed bursts of exclamations.

"Brother Roger, your invention is such an epoch-making feat!" Annie sighed. The high-altitude stroke was very strong, and her sky-blue hair was blowing straight up.

"Haha, this is just a sudden inspiration." Roger said a few humble words, after all, this is also a creation of the inventor in his previous life.

"By the way, how many people can this airship accommodate at most?" Diaz immediately thought of this question.

"This airship can carry up to 100 people at a time, because the fuel is insufficient, so it can only fly up to 500 miles. If you want to fly further, you will probably have to decorate less people and burn more." Roger introduced.

"Then if we were to transport the troops to the other side of the Red Mountains, how long would it take to go back and forth?" Del asked anxiously.

"I have calculated the distance. From the Broken Soul Castle to the Star Stone Castle, I guess I can fly back and forth in one day." Roger said.

"This is too slow! If you can transport 100 people a day, when will we transport 60,000 people?" Del said with some dissatisfaction.

"General Del, this is because there are too few airships. If I send more staff and provide sufficient materials, I will be confident that I will increase the number of airships to twenty within one month." Zeppelin heard their conversation and walked over from the end of the basket and said.

"Well, and we can speed up the shipping speed!" Roger said after thinking for a while: "If each airship is equipped with a wind magician, he is asked to cast hurricane technique and run with a hot air balloon, he will probably be able to fly back and forth in half a day."

"That's great! Let's do it like this! In addition, this matter is a highly confidentiality of our army and cannot be told by anyone! Commander of Del's Army, you should also send someone to say hello to the soldiers who have seen airships in the camp. You can't tell anyone about this matter, do you know?" Anne said to Del seriously at this time.

"Don't worry! I know the importance of this airship, so I will definitely pay attention to confidentiality!" Del said seriously.
