Thanks to the flying fortress, the movement speed of Luke's group increased tenfold. They also didn't have to stop to rest or to eat. Not to mention, they could easily find hordes of monsters on the ground, so Luke just had to fly low for a short while and give the orders for his followers to jump and fight. Even without doing anything, he was obtaining experience and gold coins. Now he could understand why Frank was so full of himself, but instead of getting carried away, Luke used his time to train while he looked at other dark elves. He also learned Fire Manipulation and Wind Manipulation to create more spells. That cost him one million gold coins, but who cares? Those skills would level up like crazy while he tried to learn new spells, so it was like trading gold coins for status points. Something he would gladly do.
"There is a medium-sized settlement ahead, master. It should have at least five hundred dark elves there," Nambra said.
