The 36th collect decisive battle moment the 3rd chapter blood and fire
A tall tower with a spire is built in the southwest corner of Vedsk. This tall tower reaches into the sky. It is far away from the tall tower of the Magic Association headquarters.
The top of this spire is divided into dozens of very narrow rooms. Only the most special and trusted magicians are qualified to enter and exit this tower.
At this moment, a magician suddenly rushed out of one of the narrow rooms. Looking at his panicked look, it was obvious that something important had happened.
The magician hurriedly pulled a thin rope hanging at the entrance and exit. A slight but urgent ringing came from under his feet. The magician threw down the roll of parchment in his hand, and then he looked hurriedly.
Run back to your room.
The rapid ringing of bells just now alerted everyone waiting under the tower. Everyone looked up at the top of the tall, dark tower, guessing that something important was about to happen.
Under everyone's attention, the roll of parchment fell to the ground silently, and a knight headed by the guardian quickly picked up the roll of parchment.
He gently stretched out the soft sheepskin, and suddenly a look of panic took over his face.
"Hurry--" A call made everyone tremble, and an ominous omen enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Quickly notify the headquarters and the palace. The Montitas suddenly gathered nearly 300 air battleships. This huge fleet has just left Grant City, and their direction is exactly our Kaoqi."
As the knight spoke, he spread out the parchment for everyone to see. There were two purple crystals hanging on the corner of the parchment.
The knight took off the crystals and stuffed them into the hands of the two subordinates beside him. The two subordinates ran straight out of the tower without saying a word.
The war horses had already been prepared at the door, and a group of guarding soldiers were already waiting there.
The two knights jumped on their horses, carefully put the purple crystal into their arms, and hid it in the special leather bag under their armor.
A rapid sound of horse hooves resounded on the streets of Vedsk, and everyone who heard the sound immediately felt a sense of tension and depression.
One of the two crystals reached the hands of His Majesty the Emperor Horkels III without any hindrance.
He looked at the scene reflected in front of him, looking at the three hundred warships flying toward the northwest at an extremely slow speed, and a look of helplessness and desolation appeared on his face.
"Before the Peace Envoy arrived in Grant City, the Montita people hurriedly launched a counterattack." Milinda next to her also sighed and said. She knew very well why the emperor seemed so lost.
"Perhaps, this is also a great opportunity. As long as all these air battleships are destroyed, the Montita people will have to obey our mercy, and they will return to the negotiation table obediently. At that time, peace will be what we give
A gift." Milinda said.
"Gift? Don't forget that they can easily use forbidden magic to destroy all living creatures." Horcols III said with a wry smile.
"Then just think of peace as a bargaining chip that gives everyone a chance to live. Anyway, we can still regard it as a gift in private, and the Montita people can also regard it as a symbol of their victory."
Milinda said indifferently.
"I have been worried in my heart, what if the Montita people do not target Vedsk and Kashina as we expected?" Horcoles III said worriedly.
"Neither I nor Hegeero cares how many cities have been reduced to ashes by the Montitas. For Kaoqi, even Vedsk is not impossible to give up. The reason why we have to protect it is
Vedsk and Kashner are probably just trying to keep morale from getting too low."
"As for other cities, as long as the news is blocked so that the morale of the people is not affected, it will have no effect at all. Kaochi is not Montita, and the death of hundreds of thousands of people is simply not worth considering the huge population of Kaochi.
Nothing."
"On the contrary, this will expose the whereabouts of the remaining Montita fleet. There is a fleet staying on the strait, and Haigero is personally in charge of Kashina. Even if the Montita people's warships can't fly
They are faster than our warships and can still intercept them easily." Milinda said calmly.
The emperor nodded slightly, obviously he agreed with Milinda's view.
At the same time that the emperor and queen of the Kaoqi Kingdom made plans to sacrifice several cities, Hegeero also learned from the messenger that the Montita fleet had been dispatched.
Haguero, who was hunting, immediately seemed to be in high spirits, and he took a roll of maps from the adjutant's hand.
For Hageello, compasses and rulers have been used far more than swords in recent days. After a while, Hageello roughly calculated the time when Montita's fleet would arrive at the Kaoqi Kingdom.
"How is my fleet prepared?" Hegeiro asked the adjutant beside him.
"The fleet is ready to go, just waiting for your order." The adjutant replied quickly.
"Yes, in order to be able to respond to battle at any time, the Marquis does not even allow the soldiers to go out for vacation. Even the magic corps and the magicians are also under strict control." Another adjutant said quickly.
"I didn't expect the Montita people to be so restless. Only three days later, they hurriedly came to take revenge without even recovering their vitality." The first adjutant said with a smile.
"Isn't this great? I was originally worried that if the time was delayed any longer, I'm afraid the soldiers in the fleet would complain." Another adjutant replied with the same smile.
Hagrid didn't pay attention to the two adjutants' harmonious responses at all. All his energy was focused on the battle that was about to begin.
There are hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of gaps between Kashina, Vedsk and the Montita grassland. How can we find traces of the Montita fleet in such a vast land?
Hagero knew very well that the only thing he had in hand that could come in handy were ten specially modified warships. The magicians aboard them could lay down a magic monitoring barrier covering more than a hundred kilometers. .
Although he has at least a hundred magicians who can conduct magic monitoring, he only has ten battleships that he can call upon.
Other magicians can only set up fixed magic detection barriers. Even if the carriage pulls them and runs with the huge and heavy detection magic array, it is obviously impossible to use it to chase the Montita people's flying boat.
.
Almost in an instant, the same thought as Milinda's who was thousands of miles away in the palace came into Hagrid's mind.
"Let the priests of the Church of the God of War order the priests everywhere to be vigilant at all times. The beacon of the God of War must not be extinguished for a moment. I want to know at any time whether there is an accident in every city." Haguero ordered.
His order was immediately conveyed by the ordering soldiers as quickly as possible.
Hagrid obviously had no intention of continuing hunting at all, and he walked straight towards his carriage.
In the distance, on that distant strait, a mighty fleet was on its way back. They had just found and destroyed a warehouse. Everyone felt extremely excited watching the billowing smoke rising straight into the sky.
Since their successful raid on Grant City, these Kaoqi soldiers have been excited every time they attack.
Because they finally experienced the pride and pride that only the Holy Knights had.
Being invincible and invincible has now become a praise that only they can possess. The Holy Knights, who have been glorious for centuries, have become a memory of the past.
The soldiers piloting the air battleships even felt that they already possessed the power of the gods. They could easily decide the life and death of others from high in the sky, and they could turn defenses that seemed to be extremely strong in the past into a fortification in the blink of an eye.
For ashes, this unstoppable feeling really fascinates them.
Just when everyone was intoxicated with the feeling of being powerful and invincible, an order to return came from their flagship.
This puzzled almost everyone. According to past practice, their hunting had just begun.
On the flagship, the newly promoted captain was sitting in front of a simple desk, with his staff officer and adjutant standing beside him.
"A fleet of three hundred warships from the Montita people has already left Grant City. Their target should be one of our cities." The captain said slowly.
"Now there are two options, either rush to the border immediately and send out reconnaissance ships to search and find traces of the Montita people's fleet. In all likelihood, they are hiding in a thick cloud, looking for entry into Kaoqi
The kingdom has a chance. Once we find their traces, we will intercept them head-on, and then the fighting will and courage of the soldiers will determine the outcome."
"The second option is that we let the Montita people's fleet pass and then cut off their return. Once they start to attack and expose their whereabouts, we will pursue them from behind and fight with the Commander-in-Chief or the Queen.
Your Majesty, join forces to attack the Montita fleet and be sure to completely eliminate them in the skies above the Kaoqi Kingdom." The staff officer said quickly.
Regarding these two options, both the captain and the adjutant have obviously thought about them, and even thought about the serious conflicts between them very thoroughly.
"Do we have a second option?" the captain said with a smile.
"The commander-in-chief will never let a person who likes to be in the limelight and grab credit without caring about the overall situation to command such a fleet." The adjutant next to him said slowly.
The captain nodded, and waved his hand to signal the adjutant and staff to return to their seats.
"Let the Falcon Eyes search ahead to ensure that we will not collide head-on with the Montita fleet, and let the Falcon Wings and Falcon Wings be responsible for searching on both sides to ensure that we have enough time to react even if we encounter the Montita fleet.
Other battleships are heading towards Fortress Ander." After issuing the series of orders, the captain fell silent again. He looked at the scenery outside the window. The originally calm sea suddenly appeared to be undulating and vast for some unknown reason.
The raging waves high in the hills hit the cliffs on one side of the Kingdom of Leiding, and the snow-white waves that were smashed into pieces even splashed onto the cliffs.
"I hope this time we can bring this battle to an end." The captain murmured to himself.
…
While the Kaoqi people were making preparations, the Montita grassland was also extremely busy.
A huge team was gathering here. When the two teams came together, the astonishing momentum of the black crows made all the grassland people who were driving the flying boats very excited.
It took more than an hour to rearrange the formation, but a team of only twenty airships had already quietly set off.
They are completely different from the mighty army. They have opened up the huge magic detection barrier, not only being vigilant about their surroundings, but also exposing themselves.
The personnel who pilot these crafts all know their responsibilities very well, and they are the only eyes and ears that others can trust.
Because of this, this team quickly spread out. They were like a huge net, not letting go of any target on the way.
Even the birds flying in the sky will arouse their vigilance, and the falcons flying in the sky with the flying boat are responsible for confirming the target.
The one-hour reorganization was not a waste of time. The reorganized team was divided into three parts, and each of them flew towards the distant goal.
The eyes in front brought them reassuring news. Because of this, the three fleets all gave up the plan of getting into the clouds. They flew high above the clouds to avoid the possible appearance of the ground.
on the eyes.
The vast clouds are like the vast white ocean. Huge waves are constantly rolling on this unpredictable sea surface. However, no one has the intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of them at this moment. They are extremely looking forward to it.
The moment of revenge has arrived.
There is almost no free space on these flying boats. As long as your knees and elbows are slightly apart, you can touch the neatly bundled "bags".
These "cysts" that are as tall as a person exude a pungent smell. Almost every Montita people are very confused. Could it be that these strange-smelling things are the white and soft snow that they have worked hard to pick?
Velvet flowers?
Although they were puzzled by these "cysts", no one doubted their power, because almost everyone knew that these things were made by the little mage Sophie who was good at creating miracles.
Just as the Montita people have great trust in the flying boat, anything coming from the hands of those two Sophie weirdos can give them full confidence.
At this moment, they are waiting to show the power of these "cysts" above the heads of the Kaoqi people.
The Montita people's flying boat did not sail straight to Kashina, but made a large arc toward the west and approached Kashina.
Because there is a huge Kaoqi air fleet guarding the strait that has been firmly controlled by the Kaoqi people again.
Ander Fortress, which is called the Gate to Hell by the people of Montita Prairie, is a place that must be bypassed far away.
Neither Gunta nor Dark had any intention of provoking the magicians stationed at the Gate of Hell at this moment. This would only expose their whereabouts and would not be helpful in dealing a fatal blow to the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
There is a quite suitable target next to this westward-curving route, but neither Cecelia nor the former king has the intention to bring destruction to it.
That lucky city is Chengdaville - the place known as the blessing of the gods by the world.
It was the beginning of Enleko's fame, and it was also the birthplace of all changes.
This former mining city, a place full of bloody oppression in the past, has now become a legendary paradise on earth.
Almost all the residents of this city are extremely devout believers. There are no arrogant nobles there at all. Even the stubborn battle priests will nod and smile at everyone.
It can be said that in the eyes of the Montita people, Stryer County and the people living there are the only Kaoqi people who have never been regarded as enemies by them.
As soon as the mighty team of the Montita people entered the land of the Kaoqi Kingdom, they immediately plunged into the thick clouds.
At this time, they knew very well that a fatal crisis might befall them at any time.
Being in total darkness, everyone on the flying boat tried to hold their breath, as if this would help them sneak into the territory of the Kingdom of Kaoqi without being discovered.
Everyone's nerves were tense, because they were embarking on an adventure at this moment, but the thrill of upcoming revenge made their blood boil.
Suddenly, a low voice came from the cabin.
"The sentinel reported that our first target is about three hundred kilometers ahead. There is no sign that the Kaoqi people have set up an ambush around the target."
To this news, Gunta, who was sitting in the darkness, had no reaction at all. He still sat there quietly, just putting the dim light close to the corner of the map spread out on the table in front of him.
There is a striking name marked there - final victory.
This is a famous city with a splendid history. The various forces who attacked the Magic Empire gathered here after they defeated the capital at that time, now Vedsk, to fight against the Magic Empire's most powerful and proud magic.
corps.
Although the battle that completely destroyed the Magic Corps was fought in the vast desert of Stryer County, more than 600 kilometers away from here, this city that was once regarded as a meeting point, where the heroes gave orders, is still
It will be recorded in history forever.
There were two Montitas among the original twelve heroes, but now, Montita and his former comrade-in-arms Kaoqi must decide life and death on the battlefield.
This may be a great irony, or a huge joke played by fate.
However, Gangta couldn't smile at all. When he saw that this city with a long history was targeted for attack, he felt a little sad.
He said in a low and hoarse voice: "Keep moving forward and rush to our own goal."
The same news has also reached Dak's flying boat. Unlike Gunta, Dak seems eager to give it a try.
He had also heard the name of the city with such a long history, but he had no feeling about this city at all.
For him, this city is just one of the most suitable targets. It has a population of 350,000. Most of the buildings in the city are made of wood. The narrow streets and alleys make this city...
It was like a tomb under the attack of flying boats, and what made the city unable to escape the fate of destruction was the towering city wall with a long history.
Duck is also very clear about the reason why his mother and grandfather chose this city as the target of the attack.
Its former illustrious reputation and five hundred years of leisure have made this city one of the top leisure and summer destinations for Kaoqi.
At this moment, the war horn sounded in all directions, causing the wealthy and upper-class people living in big cities and towns near the borders to flee from those dangerous places.
Some of them fled to Chengdaville, hoping that the land blessed by the gods would protect them from the war.
Others fled to remote towns. In their opinion, these places, which were not road hubs or military hubs, should be able to escape the spreading war.
The city in front of them attracted the attention of the refugees with its elegant and luxurious villas and prosperous high-end shops.
Even if those nobles and wealthy businessmen fled, they still hoped to enjoy themselves.
Because of this, these small towns filled with the upper class of Kaoqi became the first choice targets for their mother and grandfather who were single-mindedly eager for revenge.
In fact, the other two cities share common characteristics with the city in front of me.
Narrow streets, wooden houses, and crowded populations doomed them, as well as the people who lived in these cities.
"The second and third detachments have separated from the queue." A low report came from the front again.
"How much time does it take before we reach the target?" Dak said slowly, and at this moment he had regained his composure.
Driving a flying boat to direct the battle in this small cabin has a completely different feeling than riding a war horse in the past and charging into battle among dense arrows and dazzling swords. Dak felt that he was becoming more and more accustomed to this feeling.
.
"Three hours." came the affirmative answer from the front. In fact, Dak himself could calculate the approximate time, but he still needed to confirm it.
"How thick are the clouds?" Duck asked again.
This time the answer took some time. After a while, the person in front said: "Today's weather is too sunny. There are not many clouds that can give us cover. Even if we can find a cloud, it will be torn into pieces by the flying boat."
."
"In this case, we don't need to be too covert, raise the altitude to the highest level, and enter the predetermined position as quickly as possible." Dak calmly ordered.
"Should we prepare the first team?" the man in front asked.
"It's not necessary now. I don't want my brothers to get nervous too early." Dak said calmly.
"But we can ask each spaceship to check their tipping buckets, as well as the gifts for the Kaoqi people placed in the dumping buckets. I don't want those dumping buckets to be stuck when the time comes, causing the Kaoqi people to feel guilty because they did not receive them.
I feel disappointed because of the gift." Dak said coldly, his chest was burning with raging anger for revenge.
…
The final victory is an extremely peaceful small city. There are no mines, endless countryside, and no transportation in all directions.
All there is here is a narrow river that meanders through the middle of the city.
Hundreds of small bridges span this slender river, and everything looks so elegant and peaceful.
This quiet little city also has no wide streets, as if the bustle and bustle are completely isolated here.
The small streets and deep alleys that can only carry simple carriages have become a unique scenery here.
The people who live here are wealthy people with a leisurely mind. They like this idyllic, elegant and quiet town.
Because many wealthy people live here, the city also attracts a large number of businessmen.
Although the commercial streets here are far less bustling and noisy than those in huge cities like Vedsk and Kashina, the dazzling array of goods here still proves the wealth of this place.
Perhaps because of the peaceful and elegant atmosphere here, even the shops show elegance and nobility that are not found elsewhere.
There are no nouveau riche-style messy piles here, but rather villa gardens where people can relax and chat.
Time seems to have frozen here, and everything is proceeding at a slow and leisurely pace.
Because of this, when a low roar came from far away, the residents in the small town still looked slowly and puzzled at the place where the roar came from.
Some people even thought that a heavy rain was coming, and the roar just now was the thunder before the heavy rain.
But soon they knew that what was coming was not a heavy rain, but destruction and death.
Along with a low and noisy buzzing sound, it seemed like a swarm of migratory locusts and black crows were pressing over in the distance.
At first, the buzzing sounded extremely low, and the neatly arranged black spots were still far above the high clouds. But after a while, the buzzing became louder and louder, and the residents of the small town could even see it.
Clearly see the fusiform lines and the huge wings that shine brightly under the sunlight.
Suddenly a series of explosions sounded, and this time the residents of the small town finally fell into panic. They fled in all directions and poured into the streets like a tide.
The destruction of Stat Harbor has spread throughout every inch of the Kaochi Kingdom. The destruction and death frightened and shocked every Kaochi.
There were screams and wails everywhere, shouts and whines everywhere, and the city lost its former peace and tranquility in a moment.
Amidst the screams, the huge fleet of black crows flew past the small town quickly, and countless dark red sparks were sown from these aerial battleships.
When these sparks fell among the crowd, they immediately caused a hoarse scream.
People whose clothes and hair were set on fire by the sparks all over the sky were squirming around as if they could escape the burning flames.
But what is more terrifying is not the sparks falling directly on people, although the former brings uncontrollable fear to the residents of this small town.
What's really scary are the sparks falling into the room.
Carpets, tablecloths, and curtains are undoubtedly the best fuel. Almost every spark that falls in the room turns into a sea of fire in an instant. Thick tongues of fire spurt out from the window, as if there is a ferocious beast trapped inside.
of Warcraft.
But more sparks fell on the rolling roofs.
Tile is not an excellent fuel, but some of the countless sparks are contaminated with easily flammable wood.
Most of the houses in this small town were built with this deadly material, and now they have become their own gravediggers.
The flying flames soon became one, and the roofs of almost every house in the city were in flames.
With countless sparks, the burning wooden beams and thick pillars collapsed one after another, and the scattered bricks and rubble soon blocked the narrow street.
Under the firelight and thick smoke, desperate people could be seen everywhere, their eyes filled with indescribable fear.
The screams had turned into hysterical screams, and this once elegant and peaceful city was turned into a hell on earth in the fire.
In the flickering firelight all over the sky, the gods of death are waving and laughing. They are happily harvesting the souls of the dead. They are more leisurely looking at those who have not died, watching them roasting in the fire.
Struggling under them and watching them flee in all directions without hope, for them, sooner or later, the souls of these people will become their prey.
There was a dull cracking sound, and in a corner of the city amid the blazing fire, a group of houses that were close together began to collapse.
Suddenly, tongues of fire suddenly shot up and licked the sky, and the collapsed block seemed as if a layer of oil had been poured on top of the ignited wood.
In the sea of fire that flew up like hell flames, the piercing screams that seemed to use up all the energy of life were like hell suddenly appearing in the world.
The screams full of despair and pain suddenly came, and everything returned to peace. However, the peace at this moment was not the peace and tranquility of the past. The silence of death enveloped this land.
Another tongue of flames flew up, and another block could no longer withstand the flames. The same fate awaited other parts of the city.
…
The firelight all over the sky has turned into a dim shadow behind him. Sitting in the cabin, Duck did not feel the joy of revenge at all. No matter how many enemies lost their lives, they could not make up for the sacrifices of his compatriots.
Glancing behind him, Duck ordered coldly: "Now change course and head to our rendezvous point."
The fleet that had just experienced a bloody massacre slowly turned around and headed towards the next target.
At this moment, another revenge team is slowly approaching the killing field that belongs to them. This is a smaller city than the final victory. The population has just reached 300,000, but this is a city of civilians.
The large river it passes by and the several roads that intersect on its outskirts bring rich opportunities to this city.
However, this is a city that has slowly grown from a small town. It is located in a transportation hub and has not accumulated much wealth for itself.
The streets here are extremely narrow, and the houses here are all built with wood. The reason why they are this way is not because of the leisure and elegance like in "The Last Victory City", but because it is obviously the cheapest option.
For businessmen, land is money. Empty squares and wide streets may be very convenient for transportation, but waste in utilization is intolerable to them.
By the same token, a house made of bricks is stronger and more beautiful, but it is obviously not as cheap as a building made of wooden boards.
The front of the house is a shop, and the backyard is a warehouse for stacking goods.
Naturally, this city belonging to the common people does not have a towering city wall to protect its safety. However, for centuries, the ring of mountains surrounding the Kaoqi Kingdom has been the strongest wall. No one has ever been able to attack this city.
Because of this, the residents of the city never thought that disaster would befall them one day.
In fact, the outbreak of the war and the destruction of Statham did not even cause panic among the residents of this small town. For the residents of this small town, the war seemed to be an event that was very far away from them.
After all, this place is not a military fortress, nor does it have easy-to-defend or difficult-to-attack terrain. There is not even a city wall. No matter who is riding a horse and waving a sword, they will surrender voluntarily in exchange for peace and quiet.
The residents of the small town had already made plans. They even converted their wealth into gold and silver and buried it under the yard.
After all these arrangements were made, the small town continued its past life peacefully, carrying out its busy trade transactions.
Because of this, when they heard the slight but noisy buzz coming from the sky, everyone stood there blankly and looked up at the sky.
However, compared with the leisurely upper class people, these businessmen and their hired clerks are obviously much more responsive.
When the ominous premonition first appeared in everyone's mind, some people immediately ran out of the city in panic.
Suddenly, the place near the outside of the city was crowded with people. From a distance, they looked like a group of frightened wild horses.
These people were obviously the lucky ones, because when they fled up the hillside near the small town, they heard a dull explosion from behind them.
Then, accompanied by an increasingly harsh buzzing sound, countless sparks fell from the sky and landed on their city.
The sparks all over the sky looked so wonderful, but when the houses and trees on the ground were contaminated with sparks and turned into blazing torches, those who were lucky enough to escape only felt unimaginable fear and sadness.
Because their home has been reduced to a sea of flames, this small and crowded city is obviously more vulnerable to destruction than the previous target.
Most of the simple houses were paved with wooden tiles, and among the goods piled haphazardly, many were cloth, which was the most easily burned.
The fire engulfed the city almost instantly, and those who managed to escape from the fire had burns and scorch marks on their bodies.
But they were already the last lucky ones, because the entire city could not support the raging fire and collapsed under the burning fire.
The sparks flying up in the sound of collapse and the sparks falling from the sky were intertwined, as if they were composing the music of death.
Only the luckiest of the city's residents escaped, while most perished in the flames.
Compared with the previous city, this small city was completely destroyed in a shorter period of time. When the mighty air fleet passed over the city, only a pile of burning rubble was left in this small city. .
Not even a sound could be heard above this pile of ruins. Weeping and wailing came from the surrounding hillsides. Those Kaoqi people who had just lost their relatives and friends sat helplessly on the ground one by one.
In addition to endless sorrow, the same vengeful fury as the Montitas burned in their chests.
The most vicious curses spouted from their mouths, and the resentment and anger gathered into a river, which might be enough to flood Grant City again.
It's a pity that these vicious curses have no effect on the airship flying high in the sky. The fleet is still marching on the route to the rendezvous point.
…
At this moment, the Khaoqi fleet was approaching, and the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Duke Haguero, commanded his fleet that he could be proud of.
But now he was in a terrible mood, because an ominous premonition was occupying his mind.
What made him even more annoyed and annoyed was that he couldn't find the reason for this ominous premonition at all. .
In desperation, Hagero had no choice but to return his attention to the map in front of him.
This map is already covered with pencil and compass marks.
One of the half-dozen possible routes for the Montitanic fleet was becoming increasingly clear.
When he received the news that the last city of victory was destroyed by the Montita people's raid, he had already imagined the direction and number of the Montita people's possible attack.
The only thing he regretted was that there was no magic association in the final city of victory, but the military priest there had given him the information he needed before he died.
The ships dispatched by the Montitas were indeed as he expected, with only about three hundred ships.
Judging from the cities they selected as targets for destruction, it was clear that the Montitas learned the magic of fire during the attack that reduced Grant City to rubble.
Because of this, the routes targeted by Hegeero all have targets that are very suitable for the Montita people to attack.
With a large population, crowded streets, and mostly wooden houses, there are countless cities like this in the Kaoqi Kingdom.
The second belated report also confirmed his prediction. In the route he drew, a city was immediately reduced to ashes.
Judging from the time, after destroying the first target, the Montita people went straight to the second target almost without stopping. Because of this, Haguero could even easily predict when he would be able to reach the second target. Intercept the Montita people's fleet.
Although everything seemed so smooth sailing, Hagrid always felt uneasy in his heart.
What exactly was he missing?
Hagero could never find the answer to the question.
"Let Imuret lead twenty warships to stay in Kashina, and the other ships will accompany me to intercept the Montita people's fleet." Hegeelo finally made this decision.
"Your Majesty the Duke, it is absolutely disadvantageous for us to disperse our forces. Although the Montita people's warships are far less powerful than ours, they have as many as three hundred after all, while we originally only had less than a hundred.
, and if we separate twenty warships, our combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened." The staff officer next to us quickly advised.
"I don't know why, but I have an ominous premonition. Although losing twenty battleships will greatly weaken our combat effectiveness, I don't want to regret it at some point in the future." Hagrid said slowly.
said.
The staff officer obviously knew very well about the commander-in-chief's premonition, and because of this, he quickly shut his mouth.
After making this order, although Haguero did not feel that the ominous premonition in his heart had increased or weakened at all, this had already enabled him to issue orders normally.
The fleet of the Kaoqi Kingdom, led by Hegeero, sailed toward the planned interception point with great momentum.
…
Count Imuret, who was ordered to stay in the sky above Kashina, could not understand the commander's intention at first, but when he learned from the magician in charge of magic monitoring that a reconnaissance ship was passing by Kashina.
As time passed, he knew that things were definitely not as simple as he imagined.
Almost at the same time as he ordered to step up vigilance, the cautious earl informed the commander-in-chief of his findings who were far away in pursuit.
The answer he got was to hold Kashina as much as possible and wait for the return of the large army.
Count Imuret lay on the simple desk, planning with a ruler and compass for a while, and finally knew how long he would need to support at least.
Even if the Commander-in-Chief returns immediately after receiving the news, it will still take at least three hours to get back to Kashina.
Looking at the gradually dimming sky, Imlet secretly wondered whether he could survive until that moment.
Over the wilderness on the outskirts of Kashina, a specially modified reconnaissance ship was traveling on the patrol route. Suddenly, the magician on the reconnaissance ship exclaimed: "Oh my god, how could the Montita people go out like this?"
Numerous battleships, where did these battleships come from?”
"How many battleships did you see?" the captain immediately asked anxiously.
"At least - at least five hundred ships, maybe six hundred ships, maybe more." The magician said with a pale face.
Hearing the news, other people on the reconnaissance ship also looked panicked.
No one knew what this meant better than them. There were only twenty warships including them in the sky above Kashina, but the number of enemies was twenty to thirty times greater. This was an almost impossible battle to win.
"Immediately report this matter to Lord Imuret, and also to Lord Hegeero." The captain said in a low tone.
Suddenly the cabin became silent.
This bad news arrived in front of Haguero a moment later. He who was originally calm and composed was also shocked by the news. At this moment, he realized that the ominous omen that appeared in his mind at the beginning was actually
For what reason.
Apparently both he and Milinda had miscalculated the number of Montitas' remaining air battleships.
The Montita people must have moved a considerable number of warships to a place deep in the grassland and hid them in advance.
It was these battleships that had escaped the extremely hidden magical eye that Trode and Drex had jointly built, and it was also these battleships that had deceived him.
What attacked the three cities in succession was not the same fleet of 300 warships as he had originally expected, but a certain part of a huge fleet of more than 900 warships.
The reason why these cunning Montita people laid such a trick was to divert themselves far away from Kashina.
Although he left Imuret in Kashina as the last guard because of the ominous premonition, with the mere number of twenty warships in his hands, it was simply the same as letting an ant shake a strong tree.
Tree.
Suddenly, a burst of sadness welled up in Hegeelo's heart. He sighed slightly and looked towards the distance. That was the direction of Kashina, the city that belonged to him. Hegeero could almost imagine the blazing fire and thick smoke.
The scene filled the whole city, because that was exactly what he had done in Grant City with the fleet of the Kaoqi Kingdom a few days ago. .
As an attacker, he once let the flames of destruction engulf a huge city, and now the same flames of destruction will fall on his hometown.
A deep sadness occupied Hegeero's heart, which made him feel extremely surprised. Could it be that he was not as indifferent to his hometown as he thought in the past? Could it be that Kashina was not just his family in his mind?
Wealth, his territory? Could it be that he still has deep feelings for Kashina?
Suddenly Hagrid threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter full of sadness and desolation.
"Tell Imuret to delay as much time as possible, and I will return immediately to attack the enemy with him. We must annihilate the Montita people's fleet in the sky above Kashina."
"Tell Imuret again, don't care about the safety of Kashina, just evacuate the residents to the surrounding wilderness. Even if an empty city turns into ruins, it won't be a loss to us. Let the Montita people attack as much as they like.
Kashina, and you give them a fatal blow right behind their backs."
"Let the greed and desire for revenge of the Montita people become the tomb of their death, and let the anger of revenge also burn themselves to death." Hegeero said coldly.
"Order the Marquis of Trasch to immediately evacuate the civilians in Kashgar City and ask him to take all the guards to maintain order. I gave him half an hour to evacuate all the civilians from Kashgar. He will wait until the last civilian evacuates Kashgar.
able to leave.”
"Order Ange to lead the law enforcement team to follow Trasch closely. If Trasch does not carry out my order and escapes from the city, Ange will chop off his head."
"Tell them again, whether they are civilians or nobles, all abandon their carriages and flee Kashgar on foot. If anyone disobeys this order, let Trasch execute them on the spot. As for Ange, let him watch Trasch. If
Trasch couldn't control his wife and family, so he also chopped off Trasch's head."
After issuing these two orders, Hagrid's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Order the fleet to still pursue the Montita people's fleet according to the original route." His tone was so calm, and his will was equally unswerving. At this moment, all the sadness and frustration had left him, and in his
There is only one goal in mind, and that is to annihilate the Montita fleet in front.
After hearing this order, both the adjutant and the staff seemed hesitant. Even the military priest who delivered the message was a little confused, but he still sent the message according to the order.
"Your Majesty, Duke, are we going to let Kashina be completely destroyed? That would be a loss we absolutely cannot bear!" the adjutant screamed.
"No loss is absolutely unbearable. Since it is a war, there will definitely be sacrifices. However, a good soldier will never sacrifice in vain. He will always gain something from it." Haguero said coldly, at this moment
He seemed to have forgotten that Kashina was his territory and the hometown where he was born and grew up.
After hearing these words, everyone fell silent, obviously they had heard the commander-in-chief's decisive will from these words.
For a moment, the cabin seemed extremely quiet.
"How far away are we from our enemies?" Hegeiro asked calmly.
After a while, someone from the front answered: "We will meet them in half an hour."
"Order all battleships to prepare for battle. This may be our only chance to attack. Although the Montita people's air battleships are not as flexible as ours, they are much faster than most of our battleships. We may not have any redundancy.
time to carry out the second wave of attacks.”
The majestic commander's order was passed on, but no one in the cabin made any sound.
At this moment, the worried military priest suddenly turned around hurriedly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Excellent, Your Majesty Duke, Kashina is saved. I just received news from Her Majesty the Queen that she is on her way to Kashina."
This news made everyone cheer, and cheers suddenly filled the small and crowded cabin.
Hegeero breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he heard the news. He was as excited as everyone else and almost cheered.
It's just that he lost to Milinda again and had to accept her help. This huge frustration prevented him from being as excited and enthusiastic as others.
Cheers resounded throughout the small cabin. At this moment, Hagrid's eyes were fixed on the front. He must find a trace of dignity for himself.
