Towards The Divine Capital (2)

At the sky above koi province an airship was flying pass the blows of winds.

In the control module of the airship, a child of about 6-7 years was cultivating at the centre of the module. Of couse the child was non other than zai mushen. It had been about a week since they had left city of Zhou for the divine capital.

During the past week zai mushen got to know better about the airship from zai kong. In his past life there no convenience means of transport, they either had to walk, fly or use spiritual beast as transport.

The airships main source of power was a huge lump of supreme grade spirit stone. Since the airship which they were travelling was a battle class ship the spirit stones were also used as energy source for the battle cannon and shield.

Zai mushen slowly opened his eyes as he exhaled foul air from his mouth as he ended his cultivation causing his spiritual energy to spread out as it banished. Even though the spiritual energy lasted for short time it made all people inside the control module felt relaxed.

" prince zai we will be entering the air space of tai province in an hour" informed Gu tian the captain of the airship seeing that zai mushen had ended his cultivation.

Zai mushen turned towards Gu tian" mmh, thank you for your hard work captain Gu "

Captain Gu let a smile as he bowed " it's our fortune to escort your excellency by our airship troops" He knew that zai mushen was a direct descendent of zai princely estate as well as sixth grandson of supreme general zai, who was responsible for entire military of detsun empire as well as trusted aide of his majesty the emperor Qin shenxiao.

Even so zai mushen was not overbearing but quite humble instead and respected other whether they were soldiers or maids equally, which was not common for children from aristocratic family.

After an hour they entered the airspace of tai province,

But before they could head on their way they saw a small airship was being chased by several small airships. The small airship was being shot at by the chasing airships.

They were quite far from the small airships but still they could see it from far.

A soldier hurriedly went inside the control module as he knelt before captain Gu." captain Gu the airship are of foreign origin and the one at front has been sending distress signal "

The captain was quite astonished when he heard an airship of foreign origin has entered the airspace of detsun empire. Well some small countries were bordered near tai province, but it is to be known that detsun empire was quite powerful whether it was in terms of military or economy against other nations which bordered with detsun empire except some few.

" Does the border defence regiment know about this, " inquired captain Gu.

" Yes and they have already dispatched airships to intercept them" replied the soldier

" Did you get the information about its origin" captain Gu was not settled with it

" reporting to captain according to the defence regiment they are from azure Kingdom which is quite near from here" replied the soldier

" you may leave" ordered captain Gu

The soldier repectfully bowed and left the control module.

Captain Gu turned towards zai mushen as he apologied " my apologies prince zai for inconvenience,it seems some foreign airship have entered our air space"

Zai mushen shook he head lightly "There is no need to apologise for it captain Gu, send some of our escorting airship to intercept them " ordered zai mushen as his bearing emitted an air of supremacy and dominance.

Captain Gu was shocked to see a child of six years exhuading sense of supremacy and dominance.

He snapped from his daze as he ordered four escorting small battle airship to intercept the foreign airship.

...

" princess fei'er those bastard still seem to be chasing us even after entering detsun empire " captain of the small airship was quite anxious as he watched the little maiden of about eight years of age whose face was filled with tears.

Hearing this little princess sobbed even hardly, as she remembered her father's and mothers face before they were killed.

Suddenly, all the airship whether the one being chased or the chaser got a message in their sound stone " Slow down your speed and surrender. you have trespassed into the airspace of detsun empire or else you will be shot down"

But instead of slowing down the chasing airship instantly sped up. Not willing to spare the airship ahead.

" dammit it must be defence regiment of detsun empire" the one leading the chasing airship was ashen as he bellowed" quickly we must kill the princess or else it will be our end"

At the airship ahead , the captain was anxious as the chaser had not stopped even after the arrival of airship of detsun empire. So he picked up his sound stone " this is the airship of princess fei'er of azure Kingdom , we are being chased by rebel force, I request for assistance from detsun empire airships" after that he put the stone down as he hoped for the best.

....

Inside the airship where zai mushen was,

A soldier called out" captain our airship ahead have received a request of assistance from the airship which is being chased. it says that it is airship belonging to princess fei'er and the chasers are the rebel forces" Captain Gu turned towards zai mushen seeking for approval.

Zai mushen gave a light nod and ordered" shoot down the airships except for the one bring chased and the one chasing at lead"

Seeing zai mushen giving orders and handling things as needed zai kong was pleased to have such outstanding prince in zai clan. Zai kong was in deep thought' charasmetic, being able to compose himself and relay orders like as it is a natural thing what can this kid can't do'

.....

After receiving the order , the chasing airship were shot down one after another until only the leading chasing airship and princess fei'er ship were left.

Soon the chasing airship was surrounded and taken to nearest defence airbase.

As for princess fei'er ship it was escorted to large air ship in which zai mushen at.

The captain of princess fei'er airship was relieved as he and the princess was saved. As he faced the little princess fei'er who had stopped sobbing.

" princess we are saved now, we won't have to run anymore"

The princess said nothing, she just watched the large incoming airship which was all white with gold at its edges with her limpid eyes.

The captain too watched the large incoming airship but when he saw the emblem embedded at the side of ship he was perplexed. As he humbly informed" princess this airship seem to belong to the zai clan of detsun empire"

The princess not knowing a shed in a peculiar way " zai clan???"

Seeing that princess the captain explained" princess the zai is one of the branch of imperial family of detsun empire. in other words they are princely estate. zai clan is also the most influential family after the imperial family. Zai clan members all serve in the country's military and are quite respected by both friend and foe for their strength and bravery."

Princess fei'er nodded.

Soon their airship entered the large airship. After the airship landed both captain sui and princess fei'er were taken to control module by vice captain lin.
