For convenience, Aliyah and Oyado pretended to be the humanoid robot of MachMadol and ran ahead, while I slowed down slightly and used continuous Ice Totems to knock up the boat.

Since you have magic defense devices, wouldn't you also be hurt if the Ice Totems were used as physical DPS?

They probably have received the battle reports from last night, so when they saw the Ice Totems, their airships hurriedly dodged as if they had seen ghosts.

Seeing this scene, I smiled faintly and made the Ice Totems continuously knock upwards, forcing them to avoid my attacks and giving Oyado and the others time.

In the meantime, I used the frequency buttons on my headphones to search for their signals and intercept their communications.

After all, there are only a few people besides us who know how to use frequencies.

"Report, we have found the target and their allies outside the city. The opponent is resisting fiercely. Request further instructions."

"Didn't the Count say to capture them alive if possible? If all else fails, we can be ruthless."

I chuckled bitterly in my heart. Weren't the missiles just now considered ruthless? It seems that the opponent has a low understanding of these weapons.

This is not just ruthless, it's downright deadly.

I switched channels and connected with Bai Yueguang, Ms. Mary, and Aliyah at the same time.

"I intercepted their communication just now. It seems that even if they kill us, they don't intend to let us reach our destination smoothly."

"So heartless? It's okay though, we have already boarded the train. Thanks to you, we didn't have to go through security when we boarded."

Bai Yueguang's happy voice came through, followed by Ms. Mary's.

"That's right, our trains have already departed. The security personnel at the train station retreated, making it easier for us."

"They retreated?"

I suddenly thought of something.

"Did everyone leave?"

"Yes, except for the two gate guards at the entrance, there is no one else at the station."

"I see."

I came up with a good idea, but I need to confirm the situation before implementing it.

But for now...

"Aliyah, change direction and run directly towards the railway tracks."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because it's not easy for us to enter with so many people. Just run along the tracks."

"What about you?"

"Of course... I'll fly in!"

After speaking, an ice skateboard appeared under my feet, and I flew into the sky in an instant.

At the same time, I pointed backward, converting all the mana on my body into an onslaught of Ice Totems and Ice Falls, bombarding the enemy from all directions.

Seeing the two airships quickly turning to flee, I immediately accelerated and flew over the height of the city wall, then dived at high speed to avoid the guards on the wall and headed straight for the city.

At the same time, I quickly determined the location of the train station, and dived straight into it. Meanwhile, I threw two magic potion test tubes onto the ground at the entrance of the station, and a large block of ice rose up, freezing the entire gate.

Hmm hmm~

Satisfied with my work, I quickly walked through the crowd, who had no idea what had happened.

Of course, before landing, I had already changed into my assassin costume, and now no one around knows what I look like.

I surveyed the train station and headed straight towards a single-section train used for patrolling the railway at the edge of the station. Although I called it a train, it was actually powered by magical energy and operated differently from the trains in our world. I didn't know how to operate trains in our world either. But I still had a way to start it, because the activation button beside me was so big, it was impossible not to see it. When I pressed the switch, several guards and battle mages had already climbed over the walls of the train station. I quickly drank the potion that increased magic power, and then pointed my finger, adding four acceleration devices on top of the icy skateboards at the back of the carriage.

"Alright, hope it doesn't fall apart." I quickly squatted against the back, and then started the jet propulsion. The strong acceleration caused the back of my head to hit the wall directly. I touched my sore occiput and slowly stood up after getting used to the speed. This acceleration is really annoying, it's incredibly insane... I looked out of the window and realized that when I rushed out earlier, I had also directly knocked away the two cavalry camps that were blocking the exit. Although the opponents were also wearing metal armor, as the saying goes, "Speed is the essence of fighting". Okay, I admit I'm being nonsensical, but I did knock them away directly and dashed out, that's for sure. However, the front of the train was also damaged a lot because of this.

"Aliyah, are you running along the railway now?" "Yeah, where are you?" "I have already started the train... hmm, I can see you guys, but those two airships are still behind you." I could already see Aliyah and their names appearing beside the railway from far away, but their airships in the sky were still hovering and occasionally launching attacks. "There's no way I can hit them no matter what, they're flying too high." Aliyah's voice was full of helplessness. "That's the annoyance of close combat, you guys get ready to accelerate, I'll slow down the train to catch up with you." "No need, just keep accelerating, don't forget, the two people beside us are not the real us but your humanoids." "You're right."

Those two people are Oyado and Aliyah... Just as I finished speaking, I saw the two of them suddenly accelerate and then jumped up high! After a moment, the sound of landing came from the roof, and at the same time, I seized the opportunity to directly collect the humanoid using the ring as they passed by. It looked as if they had rushed into the train. "But what about those airships?" Aliyah said while flipping into the carriage. "For things like that... of course, we have to use modern equipment to defeat modern equipment." I smiled and took out three smoke bombs. "Finally, I have a chance to use them."
