Qiao Miya personally led his team aboard the top-tier war weapon of the territory, the Floating Battleship.

Even for Qiao Miya, this was his first time boarding it, inducing great excitement and enthusiasm.

It's important to note that even Coscola hasn't boarded it yet. When he returns and tells that fellow, it will surely make him envious, as this is a military weapon.

They traveled all the way to the center of the Chirali Empire, where the Floating Battleship landed to release the slaves for trade.

Afterward, the Floating Battleship ascended again; they still needed to make a trip southward to fetch goods from the Klein Empire.

"Your Majesty, we've acquired everything, do we really want to proceed with the interception?"

Balola nodded and then ordered the slaves to be taken away, binding their contracts directly to the Royal Family. From then on, these slaves would eternally serve the Royal Family.

Even though others wanted to intervene, the Royal Family's formidable influence left no opportunity.

Only Duke Horace still had this opportunity, but Duke Horace chose to abstain out of gratitude to the Royal Family.

After all, if they took it, their family would inevitably conflict with the Royal Family, either by seeking independence or facing suppression, perhaps even annihilation, unless a Legendary Strongman appeared in their family.

Balola nodded: "We acquired just one thousand out of three thousand. If the other side manages to buy the remaining two thousand, their Air Corps will form faster than ours, putting us at a disadvantage."

Indeed, although the Chirali Empire obtained a large number of slaves from the previous war.

If the King orders, all the Lords across regions will provide some, as they have a surplus population.

But the Klein Empire is more exaggerated; being the Martial Empire, they constantly battle even within their nation.

Despite having a smaller population, their number of slaves far exceeds, presenting a peculiar situation.

Because of this, the Klein Empire can offer more slaves, securing more quotas and benefits from this trade.

These flying slaves are valuable, yet ordinary slaves are so abundant that their prices exceed those of special slaves.

In such large-scale slave trade, the cost of ordinary slaves isn't as cheap as buying one or two before.

Additional special expenses and factors must be considered, otherwise purchasing so many at once is challenging.

"Lately, the Klein Empire has been launching continuous attacks against us, so counter-attacking isn't unjustified, right?" Balola smiled, determined to intercept this time.

Others had no choice, as this had been planned for a while.

As they approached the Klein Empire border, the Floating Battleship stopped, then descended.

By now, many were already waiting here.

"You're finally here, where are the items we requested?" Yes, items, birdmen aren't considered human.

Qiao Miya waved his hand, releasing all members of the Flying Beast Alliance. These people lacked vitality, terrified after the previous beating.

Now they've been sent here and bound by slave contracts, their futures fixed and unchangeable.

"We have finished inventory, this is the first batch of slaves, more will be sent later."

Qiao Miya also spoke: "Sorry for only delivering here, the magic network on the other side is too weak, flying over consumes too much power. Be careful, the Chirali Empire won't let this go easily."

The other party nodded vigorously: "We've been prepared for a while, rest assured."

They suddenly felt goodwill toward the Xuanwu Kingdom, after all, Zhao Guang originated from the Chirali Empire, and had warred against their nation multiple times.

Now it seems they indeed stand neutrally.

The hateful Chirali Empire intentionally didn't complete the magic network here and even damaged some of it for this operation. Thus, the Floating Battleship can only stay within their territory, unable to cross the border.

If they could cross the border, they wouldn't be as concerned.

The Floating Battleship managed to deliver to this place, a considerable achievement, given it crossed an entire hostile nation.

On Qiao Miya's end, the first batch of people was ready, moving northward, while he returned on the Floating Battleship to report.

Such a large number of people, the Floating Battleship might not fit them all. Even if it could, the Commander wouldn't allow so many aboard casually, unsure if any might target them.

If the Floating Battleship encounters an issue, how would I explain to the King?

Additionally, traveling by land is safe; none of the Chirali Empire's Great Nobles dare intercept.

After Qiao Miya departed, people quickly moved the birdmen toward their border.

However, they hadn't gone far before encountering an interception.

"I knew it, you're indeed intercepting. Fortunately, we're prepared too."

"Haha, you mean those people on the other side? We haven't ignored them." A large-scale border battle erupted immediately, though not full-blown, the scale was significant.

Both sides even deployed Super Professionals and military formations.

Yet, this battle restricted itself to a small area, not impacting broader regions.

Clearly, both sides hesitated. Overall, a border battle started quickly and ended just as swiftly, with little information disseminated. It's heard the border commanders on both sides were furious.

The next day, both commanders exchanged curses across the border for five hours, exhibiting explosive combat prowess.

In the north, Zhao Guang sent off the final group of slaves.

"Who would have thought there are races like the Butterfly People? They look stunning, but sadly, they're all male."

Sephidya chuckled softly: "Butterfly Clan prioritizes females; their women's status is higher. Such arduous expeditions wouldn't involve females, only males. However, it's said their females are even more beautiful."

"If the master wishes, I can secretly capture some back."

Sephidya was capable and daring enough to do so.

Zhao Guang shook his head: "No need, just lamenting their unfortunate future."

These Butterfly People are high-level slaves, not directly placed in military trade, but intended for auction. They are few in number and all male, lacking reproductive capability.
