Episode 269-The Value of Freedom (9)
“Is it tight!? Check it out properly!”
Right after Seunghyun put the micro drone into the flower pot.
Serenian directed the residents to disassemble the drone as much as possible, make the case, power unit, and propeller into small sizes, take it outside, and then reassemble it.
She crossed her arms and watched several dwarves tightening screws the size of their bodies using tools larger than their own bodies.
A task completed quickly with at least dozens of people involved. But there was still work left to do.
The task was to modify this ultra-small drone so that it could carry people and weapons.
‘It’s not perfect.’
She immediately looked at the drone that was being remodeled and grabbed the controller in her hand.
This one toy he gave them was a miraculous salvation for them, but in fact, it was by no means an all-purpose solution.
The biggest problem is the battery. This drone, which uses extremely small batteries for energy, can actually fly for less than a few hours.
If they modify it and increase the weight, the time will drop further. Of course, Seunghyeon put in the batteries, but carrying them around was a drain on energy.
“According to the calculations, it might be close. “If you don’t want to run away in the middle of the fight and replace the heart, you have to end it quickly.”
“However, if the weight is limited and the number of people on board is not that many, the combat power is drastically reduced.”
“I’ll fill that in.”
Serenian bit his lip at Aaron’s words.
Her power was needed because the limits were clear. Deciding not to recharge her batteries with her Lightning Elemental powers and instead using them as a means of attack, Serenian went in search of her Ren.
“I was planning on leaving the control to you anyway. Please tell this to the magnet spirit. “Let’s use the ‘railgun’ we practiced together as a weapon to intercept the enemies.”
“Neodymium says that at our current level, the limit is to fire three shots at most.”
“Three shots, that’s enough for now.”
Ren, slightly embarrassed, relayed the magnet spirit’s words. However, after hearing the answer, Serenian nodded her head, saying it was enough.
If the plan goes well, they won’t actually need to fight such a grand battle.
All we had to do was literally destroy the enemy fleet that was in tatters from anti-aircraft guns fired from the ground.
“There is no time, and if we make too many modifications, it will interfere with the flight.”
“Let’s do what we can do quickly first.”
The renovation was done by many dwarves who were engineers. In the first place, disassembling and assembling the Battlebot called Black Bull and using it in every corner of Eden was an achievement born of their own hands.
The first thing they did was cut a hole in the plastic case of the drone and went inside.
There was a space between the case and the power engine. They planned to make this a space for themselves to board.
Wood was selected as the material. They remodeled the interior with pieces of wood they processed and made the inside of the drone into a space where they could operate.
“What about strengthening the exterior walls? You can’t use metal. Because it gets heavier.”
“It’s finally time to use this.”
They also wanted to strengthen the plastic body. What was used on it was none other than the skin of the two-headed lizard that was killed last time.
They took it, which was rougher and stronger than most crocodile skins, and began wrapping it around the outer wall of the drone.
If there were any gaps, we filled them in using the shells of the scorpions we killed together. Thanks to this, the drone succeeded in maximizing its defense power without carrying more weight than necessary.
The fact that the blue plastic body changed to dark black was a bonus.
“Because we focus on defense, there are almost no means of attack. Since the fight is fought internally, the angles are also limited. Are you really okay with this?”
“It seems like enough for now.”
She must have made a cannon, and she must have made a magic steam engine. Looking at that, Aaron, a dwarf, glanced at Serenian as if something about her was itching, but she finished her modifications here.
Now, speed was more necessary than powerful weapons.
“Wow, I can’t believe I can really fly in the sky on this.”
Serenian soon led some of her troops inside the drone. She was calm, but most of the people were shaking.
The inside of the drone was full of mechanical devices that they could not understand, and flying in the sky was not something they were very familiar with.
“Don’t be too nervous. “You are the most skilled among us, Ren.”
In the meantime, Serenian entrusted her control to Ren, who was most familiar and had outstanding skills. Ren was shocked that he had to control this huge aircraft and fly in the sky, but he couldn’t leave it to beginners.
In the end, she took control of her own, even if it was for her own life.
“Oh, this can’t be right. It really floats!”
“Ugh!”
As soon as Ren moved the controller, the drone’s propeller turned violently and instantly began to fly into the sky.
If anyone sees it, all they see is a small toy floating into the sky. However, the people on board and those watching from the side were frightened by the gusts of wind that were so strong that the branches of the huge tree swayed and knocked people down.
At the same time, the drone flew high into the sky.
Battery maintenance time was incomparably shorter than that of an airship, but its speed was also embarrassingly fast compared to that of an airship.
“Keep moving forward, Ren. “I’ll give you directions.”
Serenian looked out through a window made of transparent coating paper, encouraged Ren, who was holding the controller with a nervous face, and showed her the direction.
Something huge flew in next to them.
The giant monster, whose size was comparable to that of a drone, was a huge beetle armed with armor made by the elves.
The long-lived beetle flying as instructed by her colleague Lin was also a flying power possessed by Daesulim. Serenian planned to mobilize all his power and completely destroy his enemies.
‘Anyway, the real war still remains.’
Her eyes were looking at something else. The army of the Kingdom of Delos is approaching, believing that the Empire’s airship will have destroyed the Elves in a single battle.
The real victory is when you catch them.

“Yes, Commander. “Hurry up and give orders!”
“What on earth is that?!”
When Serenian was driving a modified drone and quickly flying across the forest.
Fleet Commander Lucas stood on the deck of the damaged flagship and froze when he saw it.
‘Is it…unfair?’
He saw the drone and mistook it for an airship. According to his common sense, if something that big were to fly in the sky, it had to be an airship.
However, that drone was different from the airship in its structure.
“It’s fast!”
“Hurry up and attack!”
The drone, which was similar in size but flew at a speed incomparable to that of the airships, passed by them as if passing by and sprayed a strong wind.
Most of them fell on the deck, and the smaller ships even flipped over and fell to the bottom.
“Quickly intercept!”
“Damn, magic doesn’t work!”
Lucas, who was frightened, shouted to quickly drop the drone, but the level of magic that the magicians personally used could not penetrate the anti-magic power of the two-headed lizard’s skin.
Not only the half-destroyed flagship, but also the great sword drone, which wizards used their stamina to fire from frigates on all sides, was unharmed despite all the magic bombardment.
In the first place, the mission of the wizards aboard the ship was to shoot magic at those struggling on the ground, not to bring down a huge body with a weight class equivalent to that of the flagship with firepower.
“Magic bombardment!”
With a white face, he ordered to draw power from the magic stone, the power device, and fire.
But while they were preparing for bombardment, drones were also preparing for bombardment.
[Power charging begins. [Try to speed up a little more]

At this very moment, the blow made by the two spirits growing together with the contractors cracked between the iron pillars aimed at the flagship.
[Fire!]
The magnet spirit, which had taken enormous energy from the lightning spirit, grinned and shouted. It was much faster than the time it takes to focus mana for magic bombardment.
In this way, the shell fired from the simple rail gun flew precisely towards the power unit of the flagship. Of course, it was difficult for Eden to destroy the huge sailing ship with this single shot, but it was powerful enough to destroy the power unit.
“No, no!”
Lucas shouted with a pale face as the flagship was tilted by the power unit that was destroyed just before the magic bombardment.
However, it was not possible to prevent the already damaged ship from breaking and crashing.
The flagship flipped over and swayed, sending the people on board falling into the forest hundreds of meters below.
