A Support\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do?\" The giant wolf immediately intended to cooperate with Li Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for help. Just dodge the lightning and make sure Zoe doesn't get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Ang!\" Zoe said hurriedly: \"Didn't you say not to think about sacrifice? Why are you yourself—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang smiled softly at her: \"Just like you said before, this isn't a sacrifice. Suppressing the Star Soul is what you can do and what you want to do, while fighting people, especially these regional armies that rely on scale to win, is something I'm good at.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, I am your team leader; protecting team members is the responsibility of a team leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High up in the sky, with the gale blowing, the one thing there is no shortage of is wind element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang took the spirit core orb and cast a Shaman's wind element shield on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airflow of the Tier 4 Wind Shield was so intense it felt substantial, wrapping around his entire body, making it easy to ride the wind; usually, one couldn't fly very far with this method, but it was enough here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind carried his body away from the giant wolf's back, and under the girl's worried gaze, Li Ang rose into the air, adjusted the airflow around him, and sent himself onto the deck of one of the large ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he landed, the soldiers who saw him fly onto the ship alone were stunned for two seconds before aiming their magic guns at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, on the ship's command deck, the commander stood by the magic loudspeaker, stunned for a moment, and shouted into the megaphone: \"Who are you! Are you surrendering? Where is the child next to you? Bring her up! Otherwise, don't blame me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm curious, how did you get such a big ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang admired the magic warship. This was his first time on such a large magic airship. Although the Sky Team's ships were all larger than this, the equipment was completely different; the latter were more like sailing ships, while the one before him even had a sci-fi feel in many places. In various magic conduits, the magic power drawn by the fusion core stones flowed, causing the pipes to emit a purple-red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because this faction is called the \"Holy Empire\" doesn't mean it's necessarily powerful. On many isolated islands in the airspace, there are plenty of places with names as exaggerated as one could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, because of the glory of the Empire!\" The commander put his hands on his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Havin, commonly known as a \"Bean-person,\" with a height only three to four heads tall for a human. At this moment, he was standing on a raised cargo box, and his action of puffing out his chest was somewhat comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Empire will rise again, and the Emperor's radiance will shine upon every airspace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you speak like a normal person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which island is the capital of your Spirel Empire on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember to add the title 'Holy'!\" The commander shouted: \"The Imperial capital is the Chalk Citadel! The greatest fortress of Newbis! You ignorant fool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chalk Citadel, so that was it. Li Ang had some impression of this island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a typical island that did not cooperate with the Sky Knight Guild, and it was located among a large group of prosperous islands, including the Makaina Island Nation, the Giant's Garden, the Craft Island Vitum, etc., all of which belonged to the Ignis airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Sky Knight, he often traveled back and forth between those places, but Li Ang had never actually been to the Chalk Citadel in the middle; it was truly embarrassing to call it a godforsaken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seen from high above, it was just a stretch of white, towering city walls and towers built on precarious island terrain. Pushing back a few hundred years, perhaps the airship cannons of that time could not shake those walls, and given the average strength of the Newbis people at the time, conquering the walls was also relatively difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago, the Ignis airspace was engulfed in flames of war, and this fortress island might have been built at that time. But after peace arrived, especially in the three hundred years since the guild was founded, there had been almost no wars in the airspace, let alone large-scale wars. Islands like the Chalk Citadel naturally lost their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, flying nearby and looking at the Chalk Citadel, he had had discussions with his peers like \"Are there still living people there?\" or \"Is that an ancient ruin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. But what does your 'rise' have to do with kidnapping people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor says that enemies who hinder the Empire's rise must be eliminated! We need not question, only execute his will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the Emperor's name? Did he obtain some ancient technology for you to rise because of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bean-person commander became increasingly excited as he spoke: \"A fanatic like you has no right to know the Emperor's honorable name! The Emperor is the mountain, and those who do not bow to his holy glory are the waves; even if they come rolling in, they are destined to be shattered against the cliff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, I don't want to hear this, and I'm not here to bow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the people of this empire cannot be communicated with. In addition to investigating the meter from before, Li Ang also decided to find out where this Emperor actually popped up from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps thinking he had boarded the ship to surrender, the commander did not have the warship's bow cannon fire directly after it finished charging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still blocked Eden's flight path. The giant wolf carried Zoe on its back, shaping a circle of floating ice shields around them, which formed a multi-angle defense like a cocoon, so even if they fired, they couldn't hurt them for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang flipped the switches on the spirit core one by one: \"I came here to arrest you. If you have anything to say, go tell it to the Guild's Order Sky Knights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you alone? Ha—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bean-person commander's laughter had just begun when the entire sound stopped abruptly. It wasn't that he had been knocked down, but that the loudspeaker in front of him had failed, and his shouting was no longer amplified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also failing were the soldiers' magic guns. They saw Li Ang wave his hand and knew he had cast a spell, but when they pulled the triggers, the gun bodies overheated rapidly without firing energy rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurriedly threw away their weapons, only to find their armor jumping uncontrollably. They themselves were like marionettes, dancing a strange dance on the deck. In the process, almost all their limb joints were pulled to the point of dislocation, causing them to howl in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turrets on the deck rotated automatically, and even the ship's cannons inside the hull could not be controlled. The helmsman was knocked away by the rapidly spinning wheel, the flames sprayed by the power furnace adjusted direction, and the entire airship turned sideways in the air, aiming its maximum firepower from one side at another reinforcement ship not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the support of the temporary energy source, Li Ang activated his ultimate move—Myriad Spirit Disturbance, while allowing his magic power to cover a wider range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, it's my area of expertise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the cannons on the ship fired at once. The nearby ship did not react at all; its deck was completely covered by the poured energy rounds, and the soldiers were shrouded in the explosion of purple-red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacked airship immediately lost most of its combat capability. The cannon controllers in the cabin were first stunned by the sudden friendly fire, but later wanted to aim them at the ship Li Ang was controlling. However, before that, the energy rounds from the cannons Li Ang controlled had already exploded inside their muzzles, finishing them all off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two smaller ships behind wanted to adjust their angles to perform a volley against the large ship Li Ang was controlling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Ang finished attacking by turning the ship's hull, the angle was directly facing them. He controlled the stern power furnace to maximum, the warship approached rapidly, and the ram at the bow crashed directly onto the deck of one of the small ships. Amidst the loud noise of the collision and the sound of tearing metal, there were countless casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang walked toward the place where the two ships met. The control range of Myriad Spirit Disturbance extended to that ship, and the soldiers who wanted to rush up also started dancing, while some of the small ship's weapons and the large ship's weapons aimed at the fourth ship simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the fourth ship started firing. As soon as the large and small energy rounds fired over entered the domain of Myriad Spirit Disturbance, they all activated their explosive spirituality in advance and detonated prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang also chose to fire back. Soon, the fourth ship fell silent under the baptism of cannon fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cannon fire ceased. In the warm wind of the night sky over the Floss airspace, the smoke of gunpowder drifted endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! Who on earth are you! Is, is this something a human can do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bean-person commander crawled out from a pile of soldiers with dislocated limbs. Because he wasn't wearing equipment, he could still move, but his heart was near collapse, and he had even forgotten to praise the Emperor's glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Sky Knight whose path you blocked, formerly a support for the Sky Team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sky, Sky Team... isn't that a one-in-a-million group! Why would it be such a coincidence...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bean-person commander collapsed onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>",1648,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","983b2d94ebcb7b639dedee0bd4a4175d6a25a2348820c7252641338674cf2ceb","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-46","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-44",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
