Chapter 106: Airships Join the War

"Prepare for battle!" Facing an enemy several times his size, the hoplite cavalry captain of the Blackstone Fort Expeditionary Force of the Delman Empire was not at all intimidated, but his heart was full of some anticipation of victory.

His soldiers had formed three formations, across in front of the countless soldiers on the other side. They didn't retreat, they didn't even have the slightest hint of panic. They just checked the weapons in their hands, ready to give a big gift to the enemy in a moment.

"The enemy is near! ready to fight!" the cavalry captain commanded the battle, eager to prove himself and to win the victory that lay in front of him.

All the soldiers raised their weapons against the crowd in front of them, and they calmly picked up their weapons and waited for the enemy to approach and give the enemy a fierce charge.

When the opponent was still about 300 demi away from him, the crossbowmen of his own camp fired crossbow arrows from the city wall at the Norslands who wanted to make a detour back to the south gate to attack the city gate, and the army of the Norslan Kingdom on the opposite side fell dozens of soldiers at once. The opponent was able to fire crossbow arrows from such a distance, knocking his own soldiers to the ground.

The attack of the Norsland Kingdom became sharper and sharper, and more Norsland Empire soldiers fell on the way to attack.

"Press, let the cavalry behind, press me!" King Gravel gave the order to continue the attack.

Under his orders, more Norsland Kingdom troops began to desperately rush towards the gap in the south of the city, and the continuous sound of trumpets represented the strongest determination of the Norsland Kingdom.

"I propose an immediate attack and let the airships destroy this force. They are holding on to this place now, presumably with reinforcements in the future...... It can be trickier if you let them meet. Horf suggested to Gravel.

"You're right!" Gravel nodded, agreeing with him, "Go! Bring me the victory! Dispatch all the airship troops! Be careful, don't make a mess." ”

"You're too weak!" muttered the captain of the Delman Empire's Blackstone Fort Expeditionary Force as he led the hoplites toward the brave Norslan warriors. The war drums of the Norsland rumbled, but their troops were still far from the south gate.

Then, in the next second, on the opposite side of the reverse slope, behind those distant hills, a huge shadow suddenly rose into the air. All the Imperial Expeditionary Force soldiers widened their eyes as they watched the dark shadow soar into the sky with a rumbling sound.

Another dark shadow rose from the anticline. Then came the third and fourth, and the shadows rose into the air about a few thousand demi away, so Delman's soldiers could easily see the behemoths hovering and soaring in the sky.

"It's an airship!" a soldier shouted in a trembling voice, he felt his legs and stomach tremble, and even his hand, which was firm and powerful, was now trembling uncontrollably.

"Keep fighting!" The first cavalry captain to come back to his senses drew his long sword from his waist and cheered loudly for his subordinates: "Long live the Delman Empire! Long live Lord Tyranny!"

"The Delman Empire will win!" all the soldiers began to continue attacking the warriors of the Kingdom of Norsland who were rushing towards them like a tidal wave.

However, above the sky, an airship, which rushed down the clouds, threw a canister of fire oil at the soldiers of the Delman Empire. The Imperial crossbowmen on the walls and towers are ready to fight to the death.

First the black hot oil, then the flame. The flames continued to fall, like a falling meteorite, and smashed into the Delman soldiers in the city.

The Delman crossbowman, who had already seen the flames above his head, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand in the air in despair. Because of the sunlight and the fireball, they could not see their target, so they could only fire in a hurry.

In the next second, the flame smashed into the crowd, and hundreds of Delman Empire soldiers screamed and struggled in the sea of fire, and then turned into broken black charcoal, breaking and collapsing in the flames.

"Help!" After all, the soldiers of the Delman Empire are also flesh and blood, and their achievements along the way are all based on advanced weapons, and in terms of courage and perseverance, they are not much stronger than the Norsland Kingdom on the other side.

So, when a real test of blood and fire came, the soldiers of the Delman Empire also collapsed. They were terrified to see their companions turned to ashes and charcoal, ignited by the flames, fluttering and twisting, and finally dying.

The fire swept across the earth, making the earth hard and hot. An airship flew low over, and everything seemed to be charred. In the face of these powerful and mysterious ancient technologies, human beings have always been small and helpless.

The few remaining Delman soldiers were still hopelessly armed, and they had already struggled from the initial chaos and despair, for they had seen too many deaths.

They kept slashing aimlessly, as if that was the way to vent their fears. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Norsland, who were getting closer and closer to them, had stopped because there was already a flame rising and burning in front of them.

"The enemy is on our heads! All soldiers are ready to fight!" the Delman Imperial officer commanding the Crystal Cannon, pressing the sword at his waist, commanded his men. Following his orders, the soldiers tasked with firing the crystal cannons began to adjust the crystal cannons so that they could target the slow airships. The barrel of the cannon was raised little by little, and the cold barrel of the cannon pointed at the airships flying in the sky.

"Let's hope our magic crystal cannon can really kill those damn airships!" Standing on the commanding heights of the tower of the city wall, the commander of the Imperial magic crystal cannon nervously pressed his long sword and looked at the Norsland Kingdom airships raging in the sky.

An airship roared down from a canister of fire oil thrown from a high altitude and bombarded the Delman Empire's magic crystal artillery on the city walls. In an instant, this section of the wall was covered in burning flames, and the soldiers on it were also drowned in a sea of fire.

"Boom!" The remaining Delman Empire magic crystal artillerymen also opened fire, and huge shells flew into the sky, shattering the armor of one of the airships and burrowing into the interior of the airship. Its aftermath remained unabated, piercing the entire airship.

The entire airship lost its balance and fell from the sky, smashing into the castle that was still burning with flames.
