Chapter 1297 Arriving at the Front Line!

However, the impossible soon became a reality.

The big bird lowered its altitude while circling the concrete square, and Horn could already clearly see the driver looking above. The man-made object was larger than a carriage, and he could not understand how such a heavy thing could float in the air like a bird.

Others probably had the same idea.

When the iron bird roared and flew over the square, many workers even knelt down and made a praying posture.

Even if it's a miracle, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.

"Your sister Andrea is up there," Howard Quinn added at this time, "and the departure date mentioned in her letter was yesterday."

It took Horne a long time to understand the meaning of the word "yesterday".

The moment he reacted, he felt the hairs on his back stand up.

Thousands of miles away, arriving in one day?

"Now, this critical point no longer exists" - his father's words reappeared in his ears, and it was only at this moment that he realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

The artificial iron birds slid to the ground one after another. When Andrea stepped out of the cockpit, Horford couldn't wait to greet her.

…

A dust-cleansing banquet specially prepared for the witches of Graycastle was held in the castle palace. Although no nobles were notified to attend, news of the visitors falling from the sky soon spread throughout the Glow City.

Many people noticed this extraordinary scene.

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

To his relief, this time the other party was at least willing to call him his father.

"Are you leaving this afternoon?" Horford said with some reluctance.

"Before the sun sets, we must rush to the border of Congshan to join the First Army." Andrea nodded, "If it weren't for the fact that this was everyone's first cross-border flight, the Seagull should have arrived within one day. ——In that case, there won’t even be time for a meal.”

Across two kingdoms in one day! Even though he had already learned about this incredible vehicle from his daughter's past letters, these words still shocked him. Although Horn was taught a lesson before for not recognizing the changes in Graycastle, in fact he was not much better. Horford sighed secretly, then touched his chin and said, "You actually made such a big fuss on purpose, right?"

Andrea finally showed a smile, "Did you see it?"

"I always feel that the plane doesn't need to hover for so long when landing," Horford said helplessly. "If it does this, people in the southern city area will probably hear its roar. Of course, for those nobles who have been a little restless recently, It’s an excellent reminder.”

"This is just one of the considerations, and the other is to appease the people." She shrugged, "I heard that traces of demonic horror beasts have also been found in the Dawn Territory. If those residents can know that the Graycastle army also has the ability to fly, panic will It won’t spread so easily.”

"It is indeed an approach that kills multiple birds with one stone. Was it the Pearl of the North who came up with it?"

"No, it's Your Highness Tilly."

When the name of the Wimbledon princess was mentioned, Horford noticed that his daughter's eyes unconsciously showed a sense of pride, as if she was honored. It seems that she really made some good friends in Neverwinter, Horford thought to himself. He nodded and changed the topic, "By the way, have you really never thought about inheriting my position?"

"Why are you talking about this again?" Andrea raised her eyebrows, "Didn't I say that I'm not interested in the Dawn Throne? Are you dissatisfied with Horn?"

"He is a qualified noble, and he is also very talented in business. If he only holds the position of earl, I think there should be no problem." Horford shook his head, "But the problem is that Horn, like other nobles, pays too much attention to interests. There are many people in the family who cannot understand everything I have done, and they do not understand that the efforts I am making now are to better consolidate the family’s position.”

Since he became the Lord of the Morning, the mentality of the Quinn family has changed somewhat, and his adopted son is no exception. The former Horn would never have dared to say something like "You are not like the Lord of the Morning, but like a servant of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon" in front of him. Either someone was encouraging him behind his back, or he already considered himself the next king.

The word "Your Majesty" is indeed intoxicating, but behind power lies the same risk, and he does not want Horn to follow in the footsteps of Ampein.

And there was one more thing he didn't say, that was, with Horn's identity, it would be difficult to convince the other two major families.

In fact, the Losi family and the Tokat family were willing to support him largely because the two heirs were willing to serve Andrea.

"That's something you need to work on," Andrea said unconvincingly.

"If you are not willing to succeed me, then I will have to split the throne and pass it on to the other two families to share." Horford pretended to regret.

"Are you willing?"

"What's the point of not giving up," he said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "I can save a lot of trouble by then. After the war is over, maybe I can move to Neverwinter City to be with you and enjoy my old age in peace."

This is not an idle statement. If Roland Wimbledon can win the battle of divine will, will he still maintain the continued existence of the four kingdoms? Horford doesn’t think so. The Quinn family was able to reach this stage only because of the chance of the war. If Andrea was on the throne, Roland might not have done anything, but it would be hard to say if it were anyone else.

As he said before, the "distance" used to maintain balance has been broken.

Andrea stared at him for a long time and finally did not respond, but Horford could feel that her daughter's eyes were slightly softer than before. After a while, she finally said, "It's time, I should go."

"Remember to take care of yourself." Horford resisted the urge to reach out and touch his daughter's head. "If I have time, I will go to the front line to see you."

"...You too." Andrea turned and left the study.

Horford took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

He has not forgotten the decision he made a year ago.

He is willing to spend the rest of his life trying to make amends for his past mistakes.

…

Four hours later, the flight team landed safely in Thorn Town at the foot of Cage Mountain.

In less than two days, it traveled to four cities and spanned more than a thousand kilometers - this unprecedented fire support operation will be destined to be recorded in history.

Iron Ax, Brian, Edith and others were already waiting for everyone's arrival at the landing field. After a brief handover, the witches were invited into the combat headquarters located on the top of the mountain. It can be seen from the solemn expressions of the staff members that the current situation of the First Army is indeed not optimistic.

Tie Ax spread out a large map on the long table and nodded to everyone, "Next, I will explain the current battle situation to everyone."
