68 reinforcements
Hook was stunned when he heard Lombback continue: "The soldiers on the other side have a hand cannon in their hands that can fire quickly, and they can attack from beyond the range of their bows and arrows...... Our soldiers can't get close to the opposing line, and any counterattack is self-defeating! ”
"What's worse is that the other side has a weapon that can fire rapid-fire, which can quickly shoot countless small 'cannonballs' and knock our soldiers to the ground!" The more he spoke, the more mysterious it became, and the content had already made Hook's eyes widen.
Are you telling a fantasy story? General Zorn was eager to refute Prince Arrant Lombuck, who was already bordering on gibberish. But he suppressed this impulse, because he knew that the sane His Royal Highness the Prince in front of him was definitely not crazy.
If it's not that the prince is crazy, it's that there is some truth to what he said. Zorn, who had seen the dragons of the Holy Demon Empire, was now less sensitive to strange things. He felt that the other party might really have such a weapon, which could also show that the fall of Volavau, which was guarded by Franky, was not an accident.
"Those soldiers of Ran Hill know magic! They'll kill magic! It must be so! Lombach finally found a theoretical basis for his analysis, and said, "They gave their souls to the devil!" In exchange for these horrible magics! ”
Hearing him say this, Zorn suddenly felt that Rumback's words also seemed to have some truth. If these weapons are related to magic, it is easy to explain: after all, the things made by the Holy Demon Empire are no matter how unfathomable they are, right?
"Your Majesty! Could it be that this matter is a ghost made by the Holy Demon Empire? Zorn was on Lombback's side at this time, and opened his mouth to find some reasons for his "defeat" first.
Anyway, if His Majesty really blames it, pushing everything to the Holy Demon Empire, which can't be provoked, is much better than carrying the black pot himself. Thinking of this, Zorn seemed to feel that the Prince of Lombard next to him was really a very talented person in terms of shirking responsibility.
Hearing that his ministers had brought these things to magic, as the monarch of a mortal empire, Arrant Hook had no idea for a while. The whole hall fell into a terrible silence, suffocating quiet.
The two officers who knelt on the ground and came to report the news didn't even dare to speak out at this time, because they did not have any right to participate in decision-making at this level. If they had a choice, they would prefer to be able to get out of here immediately.
"I want to ...... Isn't it ......" After a long time, Zorn finally broke the silence in the hall and opened his mouth to suggest: "Do you want to contact the Holy Demon Empire...... It's more than we can handle......"
"But! If the Holy Demon Empire is behind Iran Hill, we are doing this, isn't it ......" After thinking about it for so long, Hook also thought a lot, and asked the courtiers in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I think...... Thinking about this now, there is really no need! Lumbuck said at this time: "The Holy Demon Empire is not very likely to support Iran Hill, after all, their tradition is to stand on the side of the weak. ”
For so many years, the Holy Demon Empire has always hindered the unification of the mortal world, so it often interferes in wars between mortal empires, and chooses the inferior camp - those countries that have the hope of unifying the mortal world have all been destroyed by the Holy Demon Empire without exception.
"So, Ellan Hill, who has advanced weapons, is definitely not a weapon provided by the Holy Demon Empire! They must have just gotten some magic weapons from the Holy Demon Empire from some sources! Zorn also realized that the rise of Alan Hill was not in line with the usual style of the Holy Demon Empire.
Although the Holy Demon Empire has been suppressing the unification of the Mortal Empire for a long time, it has never improved the strength of the Mortal Empire. Not to mention advanced weapons of war, even some magic products for daily life, the mortal empire is still rare.
Because of this, both Lombback and Zon have determined that Iran Hill's technology does not come from the Holy Demon Empire - even if Ran Hill offers more prices, the Holy Demon Empire will not provide them with magic items to help them. The style of the Holy Demon Empire is that it would rather send troops directly to the war, which is more direct and convenient, and does not have to worry about the rise of magic items in the mortal world.
Hook breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, if it wasn't for the support of the Holy Demon Empire, then everything would be easy to say. As long as the Holy Demon Empire is still on the side of the Arantite Empire, Iran Hill has nothing to fear.
"In that case! Then I'll go and use the contact crystal in the royal city, send an urgent message, and let the Holy Demon Empire send reinforcements! Through a series of analyses, it was guessed that the Holy Demon Empire was not on Ellan Hill's side, and Hook had confidence. He looked at his men and said in a long voice.
Then, the next morning, at a more auspicious time, Arrant Hook bathed and changed his clothes, made all preparations, and summoned his ministers to convene a ceremony to summon the Holy Demon Empire for help.
Although there was no representative of the Holy Demon Empire to supervise, this set of solemn ceremonies still had to be preserved. After all, it serves as a reminder to royalty who use teleportation crystals to remember to maintain humility and not to cross the gap between mages and mortals.
In a large gray hall, Hook pressed his palm against a dusty crystal, a very large crystal, and something seemed to be surging in it.
When his hand pressed on the top of the crystal, a surge of energy suddenly rushed to the patterns on the stone wall, and those patterns seemed to be resurrected, like a giant python entwined, and finally dimmed again.
After doing all this, Hook seemed to have used all his strength, sighed, and the whole person became a little decadent. He hunched over and walked step by step to the exit of the dark hall, with an indescribable loneliness on his face.
A few months ago, he was a monarch who dreamed of the Arrantic Empire, but now he is like a clown, who has to forget his pride and ambition, and once again bow down to the obscenity of the Magic Empire.
Time is also fate...... Sighing in his heart with a sentence of similar meaning, he involuntarily narrowed his eyes in the sunlight, and Arrant Hook once again stood in front of his subordinates.
"The contact signal has been sent, and reinforcements from the Holy Demon Empire will arrive soon...... Ladies and gentlemen...... Remember today's shame! With his hands behind his back, he walked down the steps step by step, and said coldly to every subordinate who passed by.
Clark lowered his head even deeper, and the fall of Naru City was directly related to him. But the war isn't over yet, and accountability hasn't started yet, so he's not facing the pressure head-on yet.
Zorn's face was also uncomfortable, after all, his strategy had failed completely this year, not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he also lost a large amount of territory, so his situation was not much better than that of Prime Minister Clark opposite.
The royal uncle, Prince Arrant Lombard, who was standing next to Zorn, also looked defeated. Compared to Zorn, who lost to the Holy Demon Empire, it seems that he is even more faceless when he loses to Iran Hill.
"Yes!" After a brief moment of stunnedness, everyone lowered their heads and replied to Hook, "Your Excellency, remember today's lesson!" ”
"Wait! Reinforcements are already on the way! No one can resist the will of the Holy Demon Empire! Iran Hill is doomed to self-destruction! The Arrant Empire will surely win! Definitely! His Majesty the Emperor, who had clenched his fists and had forgotten his original aspirations, looked at the blue sky in the west and shouted in his heart.
In a magnificent castle in the eastern plains of the Holy Demon Empire, a magic apprentice with his hands pressed on his abdomen, paced to a golden hall, stood on the red carpet in the center of the hall, and respectfully reported to the first person: "General Morse...... Arant's emergency distress crystal lit up ......"
"Got it." With a wave of his hand, General Morse, who was sitting in his subordinate position, said that he already knew about it, and the apprentice immediately nodded and retreated, not at all staying in the hall.
"It's only been a few days! The emperor of the Arrant Empire sent a signal for help, these rotten empires and these useless monarchs can't make people worry? "On the main seat, there is a man sitting on the golden sword, and the clothes he is wearing, the patterns are like starlight, and they are moving slightly.
He glanced at General Morse and Knight Chief Ildor, and said slowly, "I have to make another trouble for you two...... Those mortals, what disgusting idiots. ”
"Don't worry, sir! This time we'll get things done. General Morse stood up from his position and bowed slightly to his immediate superior.
"Go ahead! Destroy the recently famous Iran Hill without leaving a trace. A pet climbed up the man's arm, and the man looked down and teased the scaly, hook-like clawed pet with a pair of wings.
The little one's snake eyes looked curiously at Morse and Ildo in front of him, as if he were looking at his own lunch. It pricked up its teeth and let out a slight whistling sound, which echoed through the hall with uncomfortable sounds.
Mos and Ildo knew that the little thing had not yet been completely tamed, and they did not yet have the basic consciousness of strength and weakness, so they did not care, and bowed back until they reached the door of the hall, and then turned and walked out of the main hall.
"Good boy...... You're not grown up yet, you can't eat those mortals, you're going to have a bad stomach. Inside the hall, the man touched the pet's head lovingly, making the pet show a happy expression: "Iran Hill? Awesome? Could it be that Bilong ...... Is it still amazing? ”
