Chapter 1,074 Say hello (please vote for me)
"As long as the peacekeeping force makes no mistakes, Hadou will be a bastard pinned down by a boulder, unable to turn around no matter what." Through personal observation of Haligard, Lorraine finally came to a conclusion that reassured her.
With his last worries removed, Lorraine can leave the peacekeeping force with peace of mind and capture the lichs that have infiltrated. Now they are the biggest threat to the peacekeeping force.
Although Archduke Julius was a bit of a bad character, he was still a qualified commander.
Moreover, he has been leading his legions to besiege the city of Samarkand in Parthia for many years, and has accumulated rich experience in sieges with large armies.
With his ability, he can cope with all situations.
With hundreds of thousands of people lining up on the battlefield to fight, Archduke Julian could basically despise all his opponents in the world.
But Grand Duke Julius also had shortcomings.
He was straightforward and sometimes did not know how to adapt. For example, when it came to besieging the city of Samarkand, he besieged and fought every year. Although he could not win every year, he still went every year.
Therefore, although he is good at playing conspiracy, setting up majestic formations, and defeating Huanghuang's army, there is no problem in strategy and large-scale tactics. But when it comes to conspiracy, he is definitely a rookie. It is inevitable that he will be criticized by some.
He was deceived by a little cleverness, and Hadou himself is best at these little tricks.
Lorraine is inevitably a little worried about this, but judging from what she has observed, this worry is a bit unnecessary now.
Just like Xiaoxin who has just put on the salty superman pants, he not only shows off in front of his friends, but also shows off in front of the bad guys... especially in front of the bad guys. In their admiration and envy,
Under the gaze of jealous eyes, you will feel more successful.
The war fortress was very coquettish in the air, slowly circling around the city of Haligad, showing its power to everyone.
A group of staff members seized this short time to draw a detailed map of the surrounding areas of Haligad.
Although this map is not detailed and cannot be compared with the military defense map of Hadou Command, it can also indicate the direction to the officers and soldiers of Laohe's troops, which will provide great help in future siege battles.
As a result, they entered the trench, just like two fools entering a maze. They were so dizzy that they couldn't find the north at all.
While the war fortress was showing off its power in the air, there was no one on the ground - the Confederate soldiers all hid in an extremely wise manner.
Leo looked around for a long time, but didn't even see a single figure. Finally, he yawned out of boredom and said, "Go back, there's not even a single person there. The Southern Army guys all burrowed underground and turned into rat-men."
.”
Lorraine also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He missed the time when he attacked the orcs very much.
When dealing with those uncivilized tribes of orcs, the Lord didn't need to send his subordinates to fight. He just set up a hot air balloon and scared them half to death, and then they all raised their hands and surrendered. Each one was more honest than the other.
Especially when they found out that Sir Alex was giving them flour, sugar, and salt, they basically regarded Sir Alex as a god. Whether he was killing people or digging for coal, they never
With hesitation.
But now, these guys under Hadu belong to the civilized world. And after his training, they are all brave and elite. Although the war fortress is very awesome and powerful, it still can't scare them.
He thought for a while and then said: "It's nothing. But it's so easy to come here. It's a rare opportunity. Say hello to Hadou before leaving. Maybe I'll never see him again."
This battle has been fought so far, and only Hadou is left hanging on to his last breath.
Maybe before Lorraine could finish off the lichs, Hadou would be killed by Archduke Julian.
Following the order, War Fortress flexibly changed its direction in the air, flew back to the southern city gate of Haligard, and hovered in the air not far from the city gate.
The city gate made of steel was also extremely strong. Although it was repeatedly ravaged by artillery fire and was riddled with holes, it still stood firm.
But now, it can't hold on much longer.
A heartbreaking sound of hinges was mixed with the huge roar of the war fortress, and the gun doors of the war fortress slowly opened.
The dark barrel of the artillery protruded from the inside. At this distance, there was no need to even aim. The muzzle was pointed at the city gate and opened fire.
‘Boom, boom’
Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, two orange-red rays of light visible to the naked eye, like meteors, flew out of the war fortress and slowly flew towards the city gate.
Then I saw a sudden flash of fire above the city gate and an explosion.
After the two shots, less than half a minute apart, two more shots were fired from the same window...
The rumble of cannons is endless.
The city gate was instantly hit by continuous shelling, and the smoke from the explosion enveloped the entire city gate.
Every cannonball hit the city wall accurately. It wasn't until the city gate collapsed under the gunfire that the war fortress stopped shelling, paused in the air, as if burping, and then flew back to the peacekeepers' camp in a swagger.
.
The Southern Army in Haligard City discovered the War Fortress early. The floating War Fortress caused panic among the soldiers in Haligard City, especially when they watched it slowly flying towards the city.
The Southern Army also knew that this was probably the legendary war fortress, and that the peacekeeping troops must have been deployed to deal with them.
At this time, Hadou's years of painstaking training played a huge role. Although the soldiers of the Southern Army were frightened, they did not collapse and run away. Instead, under the command of the officers, they jumped into the trenches one after another and took cover.
stand up.
They held their heads and hid in the trenches, raising their heads and staring intently at the black spots above their heads.
I was afraid that something fatal would suddenly fall from inside. Compared with the huge war machine, human power is too small.
However, the War Fortress did not show its power over the trenches. In the anxious hearts of the Confederate soldiers, they saw it fly into the city and circle around.
Probably because he didn't find anything, the flying monster finally vented his anger on the city gate and blew the entire city gate into pieces with artillery.
When watching the War Fortress fly away, all the Confederate troops breathed a sigh of relief. Watching it hover overhead caused great psychological pressure.
Even after seeing the war fortress fall back to the peacekeeping force camp, the Confederate soldiers still couldn't calm down.
What Confederate soldiers are now worried about is whether this war fortress will stay here, condescending to them from time to time like it did today.
But then, they were surprised to find that the war fortress quickly lifted up again after landing, rose to a high altitude and turned into a black dot, quickly flew north and left here.
This made the defenders of Haligard breathe a great sigh of relief.
In the corner of Haligad City, the city walls and woods cover up the buildings here. In an inconspicuous place, the ground opens to reveal an underground passage.
Several people stood at the door of the underground passage, looking up at the northern sky. The war fortress had disappeared, leaving only a pure blue sky.
"It's gone..." Hadou's eldest son Angel murmured.
The Southern Army generals behind Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but no one dared to show it, and they even had unafraid expressions on their faces.
"Even if it's a war fortress, they have nothing to fear." Someone said in a strong tone.
The others nodded in agreement at the same time. In fact, they could see each other's true thoughts from each other's eyes: This battle will soon be unwinnable, and it's time to think about how to find a way out.
Angel looked at Hadou, who was standing at the front of the crowd, and whispered: "I can't figure it out. Since the enemy has a war fortress, why don't they use it? Just to tell us that they have this thing?"
The generals of the Southern Army were also a little puzzled. They couldn't understand why the peacekeepers had good things and didn't use them. They just showed them off and then took them away. In their opinion, this was not the style of Archduke Julius and Lorraine.
.
Both of these generals are strange characters, especially the flying eagle war god.
He took the lives of his soldiers so seriously that he even used those brats to become young soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death. He would never send soldiers to solve problems that could be solved with artillery.
Completely acting like a prodigal.
***, how much is a soldier worth? How much is a cannonball worth?
He has been throwing gold coins at people all his life~!
Is there anyone who fights like this?
If it hadn't been for the fact that Sir Alex had won many battles all along, they all suspected that Sir Alex was an undercover spy sent by the Demons, or that he had fallen into the Demons' honey trap and wanted to use this kind of costly war for life and death.
Way to bring down the economy of the Ruman Empire.
Hadu looked at the direction where the war fortress disappeared on the horizon, thought for a moment, then showed a calm and calm smile, and said calmly: "Gentlemen, this matter is a good thing for us~!"
Hadu glanced back at his generals and said: "The enemy has a war fortress but doesn't use it. It's not that they don't want to use it, but that they can't use it. There must be something that forces them to invest the war fortress in a more important place.
"
Hadu smiled confidently and thought to himself: Those guys from the demon tribe are really quick to attack.
Even if he didn't receive the message, Hadou could guess what happened.
Hadu said to his men: "There is a problem in the enemy's rear. I think we will receive accurate news soon. The war fortress came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The most likely reason is to pick up someone."
Several people showed expressions of surprise and said in unison: "Your Excellency is wise."
In fact, Angel has already let out the news that as long as they persist for two months, the peacekeeping force will soon collapse without a fight. Hadou has planted nails in the rear of the peacekeeping force, waiting for the opportunity to break out together, so that the peacekeeping force can
Eternal disaster.
Of course, the amount of information that different officers and soldiers can learn is different.
But ordinary Confederate soldiers firmly believed in this, and Haddo's reputation for making good decisions had already penetrated into the hearts of Confederate soldiers.
This is why the Southern Army was able to hold on under the siege of the peacekeepers.
The generals even vaguely knew that those who colluded with Hadu were undead masters who came specifically to seek revenge from Lorraine. These undead masters were going to make a big fuss in the Ruman Empire, so that their southern army would still have a chance.
Although the generals all showed excited expressions on their faces, they each knew what they were thinking in their hearts - what else would those who dare to collude with the undead dare not do?
What will he do next?
Sell your soul?
Before that, will he drag himself into the water?
Everyone was wary of Hadou in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on the surface, for fear of arousing his suspicion, they treated themselves as sacrifices and gave them to the undead as a tooth-beating sacrifice.
Seeing everyone's forced laughter, Hadou kept his face calm and sighed secretly in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly couldn't hold in his breath anymore. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed.
Two sounds.
After taking his hand away, Hadou frowned when he saw the eye-catching blood stains on the handkerchief, clenched the handkerchief tightly, and quietly stuffed it into his pocket.
"The enemy has launched an attack~!" a messenger ran out from behind the tunnel and shouted loudly.
"Go back to your posts," Hadou solemnly said to the generals: "The final victory must belong to us."
"Yes~!" The generals roared excitedly, clapped their fists on their chests, turned around and ran back into the tunnel. The underground transportation trenches extending in all directions can reach every part of the city.

The war fortress flew at the fastest speed in the air. After a whole night of flight, when Lorraine woke up in the morning light, there was already the blue sea below.
As far as the eye can see, the magnificent scenery is unobstructed, and you can even see the white seabirds flying below.
Lorraine walked into the control room on the top floor. The little mage on duty here worked all night, his eyes were red and his face looked tired.
"How long does it take to get to Edin Island?" Lorraine asked.
Another mage quickly spread out the chart, compared it with the compass and clock, and made calculations hurriedly. It was obvious that he was very unfamiliar with these things, and he was sweating on his forehead.
Then in an uncertain tone, he said: "Probably... it will be there soon."
The little mage even glanced at the compass secretly. He was not even sure if they were flying in the right direction.
Lorraine pouted, it was really difficult for the mages to do this kind of work.
At this time, a strange sight on the sea caught Lorraine's attention. Lorraine stared in that direction, frowning and said: "No need to make a general statement, I think we are here."
On the sea to the north, a thick black smoke rose straight into the sky.
The mage next to Lorraine was also stunned. If the smoke produced by the burning was so big, it is conceivable that almost the entire island was burning.
At this time, Edin Island was still below the horizon, obscured by the curvature of the sea surface.
The thick smoke quickly attracted the attention of others. On the calm sea, a line of smoke was really eye-catching.
Catherine came to Lorraine with a solemn expression, grabbed Lorraine's hand with her pretty hand, and pursed her lips tightly.
Edin Island is the territory of the Ruman Empire. It was snatched away at a huge price hundreds of years ago. Now it is populated by the people of the Ruman Empire.
As the eldest princess of the Ruman Empire royal family, Catherine, out of her natural sense of responsibility and mission, particularly hates things that harm the people of her territory.
Lorraine is very capable of tormenting the demon clan, but no matter what the situation, Lorraine never takes action against civilians, even if they are civilians of the demon clan.
Lorraine has always been troubled by Semitic officials, nobles and troops, as well as dark mages.
Lorraine and the girls have always looked down on behavior like this that targets civilians.
Leo also clenched his fists, knocked on the window sill hard, and said fiercely: "I want to catch this guy and hang him on display in my yard for free~!"
It can be seen how determined Leo is, Xiaobai also had a fierce expression on his face and nodded heavily.
The huge Edin Island soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the war fortress slowly flew around the island.
Edin Island is roughly oval-shaped and can be divided into east and west parts. There are also large areas of farmland on the island.
Even though she was mentally prepared, the situation on Edin Island still shocked Lorraine.
Almost the entire island was smoking and burning, and the choking smell of fireworks drifted into the war fortress. Catherine and the others frowned and resisted the discomfort. At this time, they no longer said it was bad for the skin.
There were ports and residential areas built on the island where the terrain was originally flat. Now the beautiful coastal buildings have been destroyed, leaving only charred ruins.
In the center of Edin Island is a mountain peak, where the city lord's palace and the cliff castle are built.
On the cliff castle, the eagle flag of the Ruman Empire is still flying. You can see the Ruman soldiers on the castle, looking up at the Good War Fortress, waving their arms to recruit Lorraine and the others. They also saw the war.
The Ruman eagle flag on the fortress knew that it was reinforcements sent.
Lorena carefully observed the situation on the island and said distressedly: "There is simply no place to land down there."
Although the outer area is flat, it has been destroyed by the lich. It is not sure whether there are lichs active there, and it is very dangerous to land rashly.
Lorraine shook his head and said: "There is no need to land, just come down to that platform and let me get off. You stay here, it is safer here."
"How can that be done~!" Catherine objected loudly and excitedly, saying: "In this case, I have to go down and take a look. The common people are suffering, and the royal members are watching indifferently from a safe place? This truth is unreasonable, let others think of us Ru Man
Royalty.”
Leo held on to the pistol on his belt and shouted: "That's right, boss, others don't have to go, but I have to go, this is my responsibility.
The people pay so much tax every day, and what they want is for me to protect them when they are in danger. Since I have collected their money, I have to help others get things done.
Besides, since I’m here to protect you, it’ll be fine.”
Leo pulled out his pistol and said with a contemptuous expression: "It's just a lich, it's not like he hasn't been killed before."
Catherine rubbed Leod's head. Her eyes were full of approval and tenderness.
Leo said this, and Lorraine herself couldn't raise any objections. This is the right thing to do. Since Catherine is going down, in line with the principle of a bowl of water being equal, Adele, Hilmeria and the others will also follow.
.
Although the heir to the throne, the eldest princess, the pope and others appeared at the same time to express their condolences, which could greatly boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians on Edin Island, Lorraine was really worried about their safety.
Lorraine scratched her head, and Hilmeria smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm here, you're still afraid of a few lichs coming over. I'll keep an eye on them."
"Okay then." Lorraine could only compromise and said, "Luolina stays here, I need your fire support at any time."
Luolina nodded, clenched her fists, and said, "Don't worry."
The war fortress slowly descended towards the city lord's palace halfway up the mountain. After the base was firmly attached to the platform, the door opened and Lorraine jumped down with them.
