Chapter 592 592: Section 588 - Departing Early
```
Without any amplification equipment, the huge wave of sound directly reached the airport, and it could be heard clearly even inside the Light Wing Ship.
"What's happening?"
Housekeeper Mars couldn't help but be moved, wondering how the previously calm Neo City could have such a commotion.
"The crowd is gathering, heading this way toward the airport."
Chen Fei looked toward the balcony, his gaze seemingly traversing more than ten kilometers, seeing countless members of the Feathered Tribe taking to the streets and flying into the sky, approaching the airport.
In the cabin, everyone, including Princess Lin Ziyu, exchanged glances with each other.
"What happened?"
The expression on Lin Ziyu's face turned ugly all of a sudden. She thought of the gunshot that had just sounded, someone had died as a result.
Trying to storm a military stronghold, suspected of intending harm to the Royal Princess, it's only natural to be shot.
But... one fears that others might use this as a pretext, seizing the opportunity to incite.
"A premeditated mass event!"
Chen Fei walked onto the balcony, seeing a scene akin to a sandstorm, with dense crowds of Feather Tribe People, something only seen in the Feather Tribe Autonomous Region of the Cloud Heaven Continent.
His homeland was best at this; "Dragon Slaying Technique" was among the elementary school textbooks, known to everyone and requiring no intelligence.
Following blindly and being incited was just as mindless.
The urgent alarm sounded.
Then came the voice of the Royal Guards outside the door.
"Report, the Fourth Legion has stopped resupplying and is now departing."
It seemed that the disturbance in Neo City was indeed significant, prompting the Legion Commander and others to make the prompt decision to take off.
If ensnared by so many people, the situation would likely become even more troublesome.
No sooner had the Royal Guard finished speaking than everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet; the horizon outside began to drop rapidly as the "Black Cloud" started to ascend. Giant Light Wings flapped in alternation, forcing the Feathered Tribe trying to approach to keep retreating, even those from Neo City who were flying toward them slowed their speed.
The Light Wing Ships of the Feather Tribe's Fourth Legion took off one after another, with numerous "Sky Falcons" screaming out of the ships to guard the fleet and keep the Feather Tribe commoners at bay.
"Is this... an attack?"
Princess Lin Ziyu was confused. With such a huge disturbance, even if it were counted as an attack, it would still qualify.
"Very strange!"
Chen Fei and Housekeeper Mars spoke in unison involuntarily.
The two looked at each other.
Housekeeper Mars shook his head and said, "This doesn't count as an attack at all!"
A single gunshot is not an attack, it's more like playing house.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Boom!~
Continuous gunfire and huge roars came from outside.
Through the surveillance cameras set outside the cabin, Chen Fei saw several Feathered Tribe people falling from the sky. Having approached too close to the Light Wing Fleet, they were killed on the spot by the warriors guarding the fleet.
However, a spell shot out from the midst of the crowd, striking several Winged Warriors who couldn't dodge in time, bursting into a brilliant display of fireworks.
Because they were equipped with standard military gear and had some individual defense capabilities, the Winged Warriors hit by the spell didn't die, but still suffered varying degrees of injury. Their feathers at the back were scorched, with sparks and smoke billowing, causing them to lose control of their flight and crash toward the ground in a zigzag motion.
A few "Sky Falcons" swiftly flew in and caught them.
More spells flew out from the civilian crowd, attacking the defensive line formed by the Winged Warriors and the Light Wing Ships, some even mingled with physical rockets.
A small proportion of Offensive Spells and rockets that couldn't be intercepted struck the Magic Shields deployed by the Light Wing Ships, exploding in a loud bang.
The entire Neo City and the airspace above the airport were thrown into chaos at once.
Some were running into the city, some flying out of the city, and still others trying to breach the Light Wing Fleet, with collisions occurring repeatedly, completely out of control.
If a collision took place on the ground, at worst one would end up with a bruised nose and a swollen face, but in the air, a bad fall might lead to broken bones and even death.
In a vast forest, one can find all kinds of birds; the Feathered Tribe People of the Intelligent Species were no exception. There were good people, bad people, commoners living day to day, and ambitious desperadoes.
For a time, those restless characters inside Neo City began to stir, continuously creating one chaotic event after another.
```
The originally tranquil and serene Coastal City suddenly erupted with fire and thick smoke, and man-made disasters were escalating relentlessly.
The early departure of the Fourth Legion of the Feathered Tribe was undoubtedly the right decision.
If they had stayed, they might have gotten stuck in the quagmire of unrest, never to take off safely again.
"Chirp!"
Little Bird successfully cast the "Light Mirror Spell," and the chaotic scenes within Neo City appeared on the screen of light.
"This, this, this is all my fault!"
As a member of the Royal Family, Lin Ziyu clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, overwhelmed with self-blame.
Unable to stand by and watch, Chen Fei spoke irritably, "Hey, don't take the blame for others' mistakes, this has nothing to do with you!"
"Hey, show some respect to Her Royal Highness!"
Female Shadow Guard Lize Jina couldn't stand Chen Fei's brash and disrespectful tone.
"I'm this impolite to everyone!"
Chen Fei responded with a roll of his eyes.
To him, a princess of Cangqiong Star, and not of Blue Star, certainly not his princess, Lin Ziyu was no different from the daughter of an ordinary commoner. Besides, to some extent, she was also a child of the Lin Family, which even if not related by blood, shared history with the Chen Family Gate.
So, to expect Chen Xiao'er to revere imperial sovereignty?
That would be wishful thinking!
In a country where sovereignty means robes, thrones, and crowns are freely available, what was imperial power but a farce?
Apart from in movies and TV shows, one could only hear imperial titles like "Your Majesty," "My Emperor," "Empress," and "Young Master" in those special service clubs crowded with beautiful ladies. To use such terms in public would be absolutely laughable.
"Stop quarreling, I don't mind," said Princess Lin Ziyu, who truly did not care about how she was addressed.
Even though her single visit to a city on the Cloud Heaven Continent had caused such a catastrophe, she could not help but feel anxious, even if it was truly unrelated to her.
Housekeeper Mars, thinking the princess was still wallowing in self-blame, spoke up, "Mr. Chen Fei is right; this is indeed not Your Highness's responsibility."
"I am a princess of the Slan Dynasty, and those people out there are my subjects; I simply cannot evade this responsibility," Lin Ziyu said, shaking her head resolutely.
In the subsequent journey, the Light Wing Fleet of the Fourth Legion would pass by several more cities. If they stirred up such trouble again, they would likely not escape blame amidst public censure.
"Every debt has its debtor, don't worry. Those making trouble won't get away with it. Why not contact the local civilian officials and have them come out to appease the situation?" Chen Fei had to say something to reassure the princess. Otherwise, if she lost her composure, it would be easy to spread the negative emotions to others, resulting in a vicious cycle.
By now, the Light Wing Fleet had risen to the height of the clouds. Still, some Feather Tribe People stubbornly pursued them, constantly being driven away by the "Sky Falcons."
It didn't take long for those of the Feather Tribe who had forcefully followed by wing to fall behind, unable to catch up.
"You're quite knowledgeable!" remarked Lize Jina with a snort.
Chen Fei said proudly, "One must learn from history!"
With five thousand years of history behind them, one could even trace back to the Tao Tang Dynasty and Youyu Dynasty, there were plenty of historical cases to draw answers from.
Who excels in internal strife?
Need you even ask?
"You're right!"
Having received a complete royal education, Princess Lin Ziyu was originally not inexperienced in such matters. Still, being her first time dealing with such an incident, it was inevitable that she would be somewhat emotionally affected. Now, with Chen Fei's reminder, she quickly came to her senses.
She took out her phone and started looking up a number.
The network and communication environment on Cangqiong Star was even better than on Blue Star. Chen Fei's phone still worked as usual here, and the signal strength remained strong even far from communication bases.
The Princess Lin Ziyu, having regained the pride expected of the Imperial Family Youngsters, quickly made contact with the provincial civilian officials where Neo City was located. She reported the unexpected incident in Neo City as a Royal Princess and demanded that they promptly quell the unrest, capture and bring to justice those responsible, and then punish them without leniency.
She even went a step further, requesting that all media across the Cloud Heaven Continent report accurately to prevent malicious misinterpretation, rumor mongering, and incitement by those with ulterior motives, which could lead to an uncontrollable escalation of the situation.
What do you think?
