Chapter 410: Business

Sage didnt need the assistance of the coachmaker. He was pretty sure the best craftsmen from the Holy Flame Sect could easily overshadow them. That said, Sage didnt have access to the best craftsmen. If they were to take their time building vehicles theyd be making the highest quality Flying Ships, they wouldnt be wasting time on Sages cheap airships. The quality level of Pristine Fortune Coaches was quite similar to the best he could take advantage of from his sect, additionally they were locals and that would give him an in for the market. His airships essentially targeted the same customers as expensive coaches.

Extravagant vehicles for very rich mortals or the mid-ranges of cultivators to utilize. The most powerful would be using Flying Ships or even flying under their own power. They might also purchase Tamed Demonic Beasts to use as a mount. There were also a few that used such beasts to pull extravagant coaches. His market would be these same people that liked to travel in style and comfort, but werent powerful enough to be using true Flying Ships. Well, that wasnt his only customer base. He also planned to create high speed, long distance airships to be used for merchant and messenger services. There were more than a few areas where the roads were long and circuitous to avoid dangerous or impassable terrain; perfect for an airship route.

Given that he basically just walked in off the street without any prior reputation, it was surprising they gave him as much leeway as they did. Sage only intended to open a line of communication, and that task was accomplished. For a few moments he entertained the idea of approaching the Chong Clan, but since one of the factions just tried to kill him he refrained. All he had was a City Lord title, so the only reason to approach them now would be to beg for handout or pick a fight. With his current strength there were probably only a dozen or so people in the Chong Clan that could beat him, but that didnt mean he was foolish enough to just strut in and show off.

Sage explored the city for the rest of the day and spent the night in the Universe Ring. The kids got too excited so he only called them back together the next afternoon. They returned to Lionheart Town through the Merciful Mollusk, spending five hundred Spirit Stones per person for the privilege. Sage didnt want to draw too much attention, or else he would have just thrown them all into the Universe Ring and paid the fee for one. Unfortunately, theyd already been seen exiting and around town so he didnt want to invite trouble over a few thousand Spirit Stones. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

The nearly ten thousand Dragoons swarmed over the Lang Clan land and rapidly constructed simple buildings using the lumber from the mountainous forest. Sage brought the new commanders together and told them to get familiar with their new legions. They all declined bringing their mothers outside with varying excuses based around them enjoying their homes and not needing any excitement in their old age. Sage knew it was nonsense as most Demonic Beasts could live many times longer than a human of the same rank, but he didnt want to spoil their fun.

The inhabitants of Lionheart Town were astounded by the sudden appearance of so many new soldiers. They looked like a variation of the Hoplites they were used to, except they had wings and called themselves Dragoons now. The swarms of hundreds flying through the air were far more intimidating than the blocks of troops used to be and the other local powers were terrified. Had those troops merely been waiting outside Lionheart Town all this while? Where did they come from?

Most were still trying to come to terms with the sudden appearance of a vast army when they were surprised yet again. Thousands of Dragoons flew off towards the south. They were gone for a few days only to return escorting huge oblong spheres floating through the air. As they got closer, the people below realized they had passengers and realized they were Flying Ships! Only, they looked like they were upside down and a bit too round.

Sage smiled as he saw the convoy of dozens of airships, trailing through the sky like a great bird migration.

Theyre finally here.
