Volume 1 The Prince of Tomb Robbers XVII

Through them, I quickly gained insight into why. The capital of the Kingdom of Seles, Finnicki, the great city, was hit today by the rebels from an aerial attack by the rebels, the kind of blow from the rebels hired by the Eukebi War Orcs, who have giant dragonwing birds that can fly into the sky and throw boulder balls from the air to the ground.

I have just seen the destruction of buildings in Seravick, and I am afraid they were the ones who did it.

This is the first time in more than three decades that the capital has suffered a direct blow.

Hidden in the palace, Rhodesa clearly sensed the threat of this blow, and decided to send his most trusted minister to completely delegate the supreme power of the kingdom to me.

I guess he had a feeling of powerlessness, that it was a decision of last resort, that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

The situation throughout the kingdom is in dire straits.

The so-called friendly reinforcements have indeed arrived near the outer harbor, but they are waiting and watching, and they just refuse to arrive here to provide practical assistance.

That's what I learned later.

So, if you want to save this country, you can only rely on us people, which sounds a bit fantastical.

At this moment, a loud bang exploded dozens of meters away, not behind me, but on the street outside.

Immediately afterward, I heard a "boom" and saw a cannonball-like thing fly into the air, hitting a black shadow that drifted by, causing it to explode in the air.

Then three young officers rushed in and saluted me, as well as to Desuy and Panchen, among others.

At the head was none other than Donkdor.

He told me that the soldiers of the Janissaries Battalion Suwitt and the Eastern Kraman Battalion were fighting valiantly throughout the city, destroying the enemy who dared to break in, and defending the great city with all their might.

I know that there are six battalions of the Royal Praetorian Guard, and the two most elite battalions are the two battalions he just mentioned.

Behind Don Keduo were Feng Busi, the supreme commander of the Suwitt battalion, and Bupen, the battalion's ordnance commander.

Feng Busi was in his fifties, very tall, with a very long face and a very majestic appearance.

Bupen was in his thirties, of medium height, and had very strong limbs.

As the Supreme Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Desuy wanted to make a tirade to praise the heroic actions of his subordinates.

But I noticed that the expressions of Don Keduo and the others were a little weird, and they all looked absent-minded.

People like De Suyi are too, and it's time for them to say some uncompromising official words. How such a person was promoted to such an important position is simply nonsense and has no practical significance!

I couldn't help it, so I snatched the crown from Pan Chen's hand and put it on top of my head.

My move was so sudden that it stunned the old men.

However, Desoy's lecture was not interrupted. He has a kind of old monk-like attachment to the "leader's speech".

I raised the scepter in my hand and poked it at Desuy, stabbing him in the jaw.

The guy hurriedly stepped back, his eyes wide open, and he didn't know what to do.

I didn't bother to look at him and walked out. I want Donktor to lead the way and see how the Suwitt boys are fighting the invaders.

As I crossed the street and came to a square, I saw dozens of soldiers wielding six different types of weapons, firing cannonball-like objects into the sky.

Bupen introduced me to the six guns, three of which were brilistas, firing rapid-fire shells. One of them, slightly smaller, is a powerful rapid-fire bow. The one that is larger than all of them is called the Skybreaker Hook, and it is the most powerful.

After their detailed introduction, I finally figured out that these six catapult guns and large ballista cannons were used in combination. The most powerful and highest-hitting is the Skybreaker, but this thing has the weakness of being slow to shoot and easily damaged, so it needs five other cannons to support and protect it.

Bupen told me the truth that there were less than 20 thunderbolts used in the Sky Breaker Hook, and if the rebel Dragonwing Birds that invaded the sky continued to attack, I am afraid that they would not be able to completely repel them.

I walked under the more than five meters high sky-breaking hook, came to the gunners, and patted the onion-shaped thunderbolt with my hand, which was the size of a watermelon and weighed more than 100 catties.

It takes twelve people to pull the hook to throw a thunderbolt, and the control device, which is responsible for aiming and firing, also requires three people. Although this weapon is very powerful, it is really not very efficient.

I think of howitzers, in the original world, advanced artillery abounds, not to mention bombers, and even nuclear bombs.

It seems that the technology of this world needs to be accelerated, and a few more Newtons are better.

It's a pity that I'm just a courier, and in our place, I've seen a lot of all kinds of toy guns, but I haven't really seen real guns, let alone use them.

One of my classmates was a soldier, and he was said to be an artilleryman, and I really regret that I didn't pull him over when I crossed over.

This bulky weapon must be improved, and badly, I won't.

At this juncture, all the inventions are too late, so let's think about how to get more shells.

I asked the officers around me, why are there only so many thunderbolts, and why are there not many in the arsenal?

Donkdorf told me that there was a treaty called Tawood, which stipulated that the import of Celestial Thunderbolts must be approved by the Galayd Empire, and the quantity was limited by it.

As soon as I heard this, I became angry, this Galaide Empire is a god, why make a treaty to restrict other countries?

I know it's the most powerful country in the world over here, just as the United States is the most powerful country in the world over there.

However, you are strong and reasonable, why do you bully people and don't let us buy what we need?

I know that at this time, it is not the time to reason with them, let's solve the immediate problem first.

Suddenly, someone hurried to me and told me that the rebels had entered the city and were burning, killing and looting.

An idea came to my mind that I should take a beautiful lady and run away and find an overseas immortal mountain to cultivate, just like the previous prince.

This kind of miserable pot of the destruction of the country and the death of people should not be carried by me, and the thirty-six plans are the best!

Who should I take with me?

The images of several beautiful women floated through my mind one by one until "Viestel" appeared.

Yes, that's her!

Although we have only met a few times, her handsome and cute image has been deeply rooted in my heart.

If Hodglan can take little Annie, why can't I take Xiaowei?

I remember that tonight should be Xiaowei on duty at the back of the palace, which is a good opportunity for me to succeed!

Thinking of this, I immediately asked for a horse and told them that I was going to Bella Rich Palace.

I distinctly remember that turning a corner on a street along the way would lead to Palazzo Miranda, and it was just an excuse to go to see Rodessa.

The reason I gave up the carriage was that it was faster to ride a horse than a carriage, and it was worth sacrificing some comfort when it came to escaping for your life.

Tang Keduo is a smart man, but at this time, he will not guess my thoughts, so he wants to accompany me and protect my safety.

I was in a hurry, but there was no reason to refuse him, so I thought that when I walked on the road, I would find another reason to support him.

As it turned out, if I hadn't brought these brave and powerful warriors, I was afraid that I would not have been able to save my life.

I hurried in the direction of the Bella Rich Palace.

Behind me, there were a dozen or so elite royal warriors.

I was very fast, but not enough to shake them off.

Thankfully, when I first practiced equestrianism, I was so serious that I can now ride safely and not fall off because of my speed.
