As Su Han and the others watched with vigilance, the black dots in the distance grew closer.
Su Han and the others finally got a clear view of those black dots. They turned out to be a group of elves riding on winged horses, flying towards them. The horses ridden by these elves possessed wings.
The winged horses carrying the elves approached each other, and soon they were within three hundred meters of Su Han and the others' aircraft.
The leading elf shouted, "Everyone, let's cast the Wind Element Deceleration Barrier together..."
A dozen or so elves beside him immediately drew their swords. Their swords were each adorned with a magic gem.
The magic gems on their swords lit up. Streaks of blue light shot towards Su Han and the others' aircraft.
A dozen streaks of blue light began to converge around Su Han and the others' aircraft, eventually forming a sphere that enclosed it.
The airflow around them slowed down considerably. Coupled with the barrier, the aircraft's speed also became much slower.
Chu Shi looked at the blue light enveloping the aircraft and said, "It seems we need to assess the effect of these magics on our technological weapons."
The aircraft had slowed down significantly, but it was still able to maintain its flight in the sky.
"We are the Kapo Pegasus Knights from Kapo City. The flying unit ahead, descend immediately! I repeat, descend immediately, or the Kapo Pegasus Knights will shoot down your aircraft!"
The Kapo Pegasus Knights shouted their warning while encircling the aircraft.
Su Han, Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zi Han, and Zhou Xiaoyue could not understand a word they were saying. The effect of the elder elf Ai Fan's magic from last time had worn off. They could only look to Chu Shi, as he claimed to have a way to communicate with these elves.
Su Han, Ye Fan, Zi Han, and Zhou Xiaoyue had already raised their submachine guns and pistols. If the surrounding elves harbored ill intentions, they would attack immediately.
Su Han asked, "Chu Shi, what did they say? Did they say anything?"
Chu Shi replied, "They told us to descend immediately, or they would shoot us down. Xiao Yan, start descending! Land in that open space over there."
Chu Shi pointed to an open area outside the city walls in the distance.
Xiao Yan nodded and began to maneuver the aircraft for landing.
Then, in an elven language, Chu Shi spoke, "Esteemed members of the Kapo Pegasus Knights, we will descend immediately."
Upon hearing Chu Shi's promise, the surrounding Kapo Pegasus Knights did not press their advantage further, but they still watched the aircraft warily.
The aircraft descended slowly, and the Kapo Pegasus Knights also slowly descended on their pegasi.
The aircraft touched down on the ground. After a long run on the ground, the aircraft finally came to a halt.
The Kapo Pegasus Knights surrounded the aircraft.
Su Han and the others disembarked from the aircraft.
The Kapo Pegasus Knights immediately stepped forward and surrounded Su Han and the others.
A female elf from the Kapo Pegasus Knights stepped forward and said, "I am Phil, the commander of the Kapo Pegasus Knights. Who are you? What brings you to Kapo City? (Elvish)"
Chu Shi replied, "We are humans from the distant Dragon Country. We have no ill intentions coming to Kapo City. We were passing through and saw a great city, and merely wished to see Kapo City. (Elvish)"
Phil said, "Dragon Country? We've never heard of such a nation! Humans? A race we've never heard of. You indeed look very strange. Passing through? I don't believe your words. Come with us. Let our City Lord judge your intentions. We will escort you to see our City Lord of Kapo City. (Elvish)"
"Of course. (Elvish)" Chu Shi responded.
Then, the elves of the Kapo Pegasus Knights closed in.
Ye Fan and the others immediately asked, "Chu Shi, what do they want? Should we make a move?"
Chu Shi replied, "No need to worry. They want to take us to see the City Lord of this city. Let's go and see. If they act against us, we can simply capture the City Lord."
Phil, overhearing the conversation between Chu Shi and Ye Fan, could not understand their Dragon Country language at all. She immediately said, "What are you talking about? (Elvish)"
Chu Shi said, "We are simply happy to be able to meet the City Lord of Kapo City. (Elvish)"
"Meeting the City Lord of Kapo City is indeed something to be happy about. Alright, follow me now. We, the Kapo Pegasus Knights, will take you to see our City Lord. (Elvish)"
Then, Phil instructed a nearby member to bring six ordinary horses. After Su Han and the five others mounted these horses, they followed behind the Kapo Pegasus Knights towards the city.
Along the way, other passing elves pointed and whispered as they saw Su Han and the others. After all, they had never seen a race that looked like them.
"Look, they are so strange. Not beastmen, nor elves! (Elvish)"
"How can there be such races on the continent? (Elvish)"
"Though they look a bit better than beastmen, they are still not as good-looking as us. (Elvish)"
By the time Su Han and the five others entered the city under the "escort" of the Kapo Pegasus Knights, the crowd of onlookers became even more spectacular.
A large number of elves lined both sides of the streets, forming two rows to watch.
"What race are they? I've never seen them before! (Elvish)"
"Such strange beings! (Elvish)"
"Why are the Kapo Pegasus Knights escorting them? (Elvish)"
"Do you even need to ask? Look at the direction the Kapo Pegasus Knights are going. It's the City Lord's mansion. They're taking these foreigners to the City Lord's mansion for interrogation by the City Lord. (Elvish)"
"..."
Ye Fan and Xiao Yan were very curious about what the onlookers were saying.
"What do you think they're saying? I'm so curious! Xiao Yan?"
"Ye Fan, I'm also very curious about what they're saying. But unfortunately, we can't understand their Elvish. However, they do enjoy a good spectacle! I thought enjoying a spectacle was only a trait of us Dragon Country people!"
"Xiao Yan, enjoying a spectacle isn't exclusive to Dragon Country people. People in foreign countries on Blue Star also love to watch the fun. It's just that the spectacles in countries like the Lighthouse Nation are often shooting incidents, etc. When we in Dragon Country watch a spectacle, it's just some after-dinner conversation. But in countries like the Lighthouse Nation, watching a spectacle might even cost you your life. That's why they're afraid of it."
Ye Fan turned his head and asked Su Han, "Deputy Minister Su Han, what are the surrounding passersby talking about?"
Ye Fan's question was a diversion. He actually wanted to ask Chu Shi, but he knew Chu Shi might not answer if asked directly. So, he asked Su Han. If Su Han were to ask Chu Shi, Chu Shi would surely answer.
But soon, Ye Fan was to be disappointed.
