Chapter 82: War Comes
The Silver Army slaughtered several cities in the heart of the Platinum Empire.
Charlie didn't believe that there would be no rumors in the imperial capital.
Originally, Charlie didn't want the Platinum Empire to get involved.
However, when she heard the past told to her by the prince of the dragon clan, the earth-shattering legendary battles at the end of those past eras, she panicked when she heard it.
I just feel that the recent world has also been unsettled and rising again and again, like the scene of chaos at the end of those eras in the past.
Involving the Raven Society and the Silver Army to slaughter the city one after another, Charlie still wrote a letter and passed it to the royal capital.
She didn't have the psychological baggage of a fat person with a swollen face.
Although the ideal township can protect itself, the biggest way to take care of the surrounding towns is to protect the noble ladies who come to her and their territories.
That's it, they all committed the taboo of dividing troops.
Fortunately, the real strength of Ideal Township is not the number of troops, but the huge siege cannons embedded in the mountains on the periphery of the floating island.
Ten thousand cannons are fired at once, and the mountains are always flattened for you.
In the current situation, even if Charlie doesn't look at the tactical report given by the military department, he knows that the ideal township should be mainly to defend the city.
Instead of smearing their eyes in the dark, scattering their forces and going around looking for the silver army that changed places with one shot.
Deciding to focus on defense, she was doomed to watch as the Silver Army and the Raven Guild of Raven Furious Men sacrificed town after town.
In this world, war is such an unreasonable thing.
can develop the economy well, Charlie doesn't want to get involved in such a war, the devil enters, and if it is not, it will be another 'god and demon' war.
As the ideal hometown of the 'eye of the storm' of war, can there still be good fruits to eat?
Moreover, she really couldn't bear to see the lives of those civilians like mustard, so they were sacrificed to the demons of the lower planes as a nourishing 'delicacy'.
But the faint glimmer of hope in Charlie's heart was ruthlessly shattered by the silence of the imperial capital.
Apparently, the goblins were more aware of the Imperial Capital's reaction after receiving Charlie's letter last time.
Harpy bared his teeth and jumped up and down, gambling to bring the prices of the imperial capital to the point of collapse, and trying to find a way to drain the coffers of those nobles so that their poor pants could not be sold.
Charlie waved his hand, feeling uncomfortable, so he didn't pay attention to Harpy, who came back with the message.
"You want to protect civilians in other cities?" Alfonstantin, who had been silent beside him, asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. But I'm not a 'savior' sentiment.
It's just that I feel that such inaction is really excessive!
It's infuriating! I could have done something, but ......"
Harpy, who had not yet left, had his big ears drooped, and he was afraid of being disgusted by Charlie and said:
"The old emperor is not in good health, and the three princes are going to fight for the inheritance. Even if your letter were to be delivered to the old emperor, he would not have the strength to do anything. β
Yes.
The hidden waves after the imperial capital's 'singing and dancing' are not easier than the situation in the ideal township at this time.
It's just that that's another form of 'struggle'.
The princes were reluctant to disperse their forces here, all because they were ready to take the knife and stab their brothers in the face a few times.
Charlie didn't want to mention the imperial capital, and the more he listened, the more annoyed he became.
Alfonstantin then slowly spoke: "I'll help you." β
Three words, but it made Charlie feel at ease more than the 100,000 troops sent by the imperial capital.
Ever since Alfonstantin rode the dragons into the Ideal Village, he has been surrounded by three mighty dragons most of the time.
A tall woman dressed in purple wavy waves, a purple dragon in old age.
Although it is said to be old, it is still very 'young' and powerful for the dragons.
Another rugged man in gorgeous steel armor was a steel dragon in his prime.
The last one is an old man who always has a warm smile on his face, but his whole body is full of jewels, and his original body is a few gorgeous ancient jade dragons.
Antanaron is still so quietly by Charlie's side, of course, this is also what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.
For Antanaron himself, if there is no special order, he will also guard Charlie's side dutifully.
Several dragons heard every word spoken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It was only in this way that the three-headed dragon that was now accompanying the escort showed a surprised expression.
The most careless and least involved person in the world is probably His Royal Highness the Prince.
But now, what do they hear?
'Take the initiative to ask for help'?
The last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to do something, it was because the elven clan was about to be wiped out by the dragon clan.
Even if there was a turbulent wave in their hearts, several dragon clans did not say anything on the surface, and immediately took the order and went down to make arrangements.
Just kidding, if you bring so many dragons, if you can still make an accident in the ideal township.
Then don't mix up the dragons of the 'neutral camp', one counts as one, all go to the overseas desert islands, and accompany those elves to live a 'retirement life'!
The Silver Army sacrificed the lives of civilians from enemy countries to summon 'force of mass destruction', but unexpectedly, it led to the early end of the 'weapons of mass destruction' here.
The dragons patrol the area west of the River Nien.
If the Imperial Wandu can't even keep the territory east of the Nien River near the royal capital, the Platinum Empire can't keep it, then such a ruined empire will not accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bother.
Dead is.
The twenty dragons under the command of the prince are a clan, and they go out on duty in shifts.
Such a 'heaven and earth net', although in the first few days, there were still occasional times when the Silver Empire, those sneaky miscellaneous pieces were successful.
However, if you always walk at night, there must be one that will bump into a ghost.
On this day, a yellow dragon on duty happened to bump into a group of people who were secretly performing the method of sacrifice.
Because of this group of miscellaneous pieces, the Topaz Dragon flew in the sky in shifts for several days, and the fire in his belly instantly came to his head.
He didn't hesitate, and gave the human who was obviously an evil magician a dragon breath on the spot.
The guards who were guarding the priest during the sacrificial ritual noticed the vision in the night sky.
However, the dragon's force value is no longer something that you can reduce the damage if you see them and defend them.
Even if it is the gem dragon with the lowest combat power, a sudden dragon breath will directly send the guy who presided over the living sacrifice to hell.
Afterwards, he was not angry enough, and added a dragon roar.
The countless topazes like flying knives, accompanied by the roar of the dragon, were like a 'rain of knives' from the sky.
The crows of the Raven Society reacted quickly, and immediately tore up the protective scroll that they had just had time to use.
But there's only so much to a limit to what an epic-quality legendary protective scroll can do.
The Topaz Dragon couldn't strike a single blow, and it didn't stop, and the lungs that had been working like a 'smelter' added a 'fire', and spewed into the already silver army behind it.
The army led by Ray Tyglin all survived the last divine war.
At the beginning of the Divine War, I saw Bahamut and Tiamat really play and fight, but now I am watching the Topaz Dragon wield, and the reaction is not so big.
They quickly transformed the defensive formation as they did in practice.
Countless heavy shields were erected, and a 'barrier' was erected in an instant.
It's a good thing.
It's a pity that there are still a few high-ranking knights in the ranks.
Most of them were farmers who farmed the land on weekdays, and this dragon roared and smashed down.
The topaz was like a hard meteorite from the sky, smashing directly through those shields.
'Poof'
'Puff'......
Precious stones are precious, but when they fall from the sky, pierce shields, and pierce human heads like flying weapons.
No matter how valuable it is, no one dares to be greedy.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The crows have one or two, and they don't dare to start a war rashly.
This yellow spree dragon, they don't pay attention to it, but if the large army of Ideal Township arrives in the time it takes, it will be more than worth the loss.
So, after opening the door of the different dimension, the crows ordered the silver army to retreat quickly.
When the Topaz Dragon saw such a guy hiding his head and tail and was about to run away, where could he do it?
It's just that the Yellowstone Dragon, which had calmed down a little, shuddered as its huge body flew in the night sky.
He seems to have forgotten to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Worst! It was too good just now!
Of course, the movement here has long been discovered by the dragons patrolling the surrounding area.
Topaz went up, but fortunately the other dragons who were searching for him were calm.
The White Castle was immediately informed.
The excitement of the White Castle was very strong, and immediately all the spell systems of the Black-robed Wizard Society opened the space door.
Countless elite armies of dragonborns with red eyes of hatred were put into place at a fixed point.
The crows were the first to evacuate.
Just kidding, can the elite squad of the Raven Society be compared to the 'rabble' of the Silver Empire?
Even if the Yellowstone Dragon has been holding back the enemy army and retreating back to the lower plane they are holding, if they are long, they will kill more soldiers of the Silver Empire.
The ideal township is to 'save the scene quickly', but when they arrive, all they are left behind are the corpses of the Silver Empire generals all over the ground, and the few [black crows] who bear the brunt of being sprayed to death by the topaz dragon.
When Charlie received the news, he was relieved.
It felt like the 'sword of Damocles' that had been chosen on top of my head and had finally fallen.
In addition to not catching up with the scene, the Dragonborn who finally became the 'corpse collection team' were very disappointed, and the result of successfully saving the lives of civilians in a town this time is still gratifying.
When the 'Dragon in Question' returned to the White Castle and reported the situation to Miss Charlie in person, Charlie frowned slightly when he heard a detail.
"What? You say there is no resistance from that city? What about the city lord? What are the nobles of the empire doing? β
"Your Excellency, they may ......"
Scotch struggled with his words for a moment, and then continued to whisper: "Many imperial nobles, when they received the news that the silver army had broken through the border towns, left their territories and returned to the imperial capital for refuge. β
"In fact, several noble ladies who have been 'guests' in White Castle in the past few days have also made similar requests politely."
Charlie frowned slightly, "What request?" Take refuge in the imperial capital? Why are you telling me now? β
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but this matter ......"
"Is it Christine?" Charlie asked with a slight frown, recalling Miss Einfa, who had always been talking to her in the past few days.
"I know, in the future, report this kind of thing in time, and now send a team of dragonborns to escort those young ladies who propose to return to the imperial capital to leave the White Castle."
Because Charlie recognized Christine.
So, if it's not too serious, either Nao or Scoch can help Charlie make a decision.
But after entering the war mode, Charlie has accumulated too much pressure, and at this juncture, this behavior of the 'friendly army' is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
After discussing with Scotch, Nao privately handed it over to Miss Christine to settle on her own, also because at this juncture, they wanted more allies in Ideal Township.
These eldest ladies are all with elite soldiers.
It's just that the naΓ―ve elves don't know that Charlie can't rub sand in his eyes in this regard.
Twisted melons are not sweet.
Now that I forcibly persuade people to stay, it's really time to fight hard, this 'uncertain factor' regrets it, what should I do if I stab a knife in your back?
Crises always coexist.
Ideal Township needs more than just speculators.
For Charlie, the selection of 'allies' is rigorous, and it is better to have a shortage than an abundance.
If you can only share prosperity and hardship, and not those who can share hardship, leave as soon as possible, and don't end up in trouble.
But as long as she has experienced a 'wind and rain' with Ideal Township, then Charlie dare not say anything else, and two years later, she will develop it into a second 'Ideal Township', such a guarantee, she still dares to pat her chest and promise.
In this way, early the next morning, these noble ladies who did not have a firm position were politely sent to the teleportation hall by the people of Ideal Township.
Neither Ideal Township nor Emperor has established a portal to communicate with each other, but Christine's Maddie City does.
Knowing that these 'independent women' with a 'helpless face' were sent away by Charlie's personal order, Christine couldn't change anything no matter how anxious she was.
Until the last of the knights disappeared behind the portal.
Nao, who had serious dark circles, said to Miss Christine, who was very devastated:
"Your Excellency has something for me to bring to you."
Christine pulled herself together, "Please, Mr. Secretary-General. β
"Your Excellency said, 'There are some people who cannot be forced, and I understand that you want to unite the strength of all of you. But war is not child's play, and if you don't have enough awareness, if you do one wrong thing on the battlefield, you will mislead others and yourself. βγ β
Christine opened her mouth to argue something, but in the end she didn't speak.
After all, it was the one who brought it with him, and he turned his back on Count Violet first.
The gentle half-elf is still not suitable for singing blackface, seeing Christine's somewhat reddened eyes, he said softly:
"Your Excellency also said that she is grateful to you for holding on to the city of Maddie. This allowed the military department to save a lot of personnel transfers. β
As he was talking, the sky changed suddenly.
Originally, the sky was still clear, but suddenly there was thunder and lightning.
Dark clouds cover the sky.
It's just a moment of effort, and the stunned is vividly turning the sunny morning into a deep night like nightfall.
Gradually, the dark clouds took shape.
It was as if it were about to form a tornado-like cyclone, as if it had been stirred up by a huge invisible stick.
Nao's face changed when the dark clouds were stained with a burning fire, and the sky seemed to begin to burn.
Finally, a long-planned war is about to begin.
The demons of the lower plane, under the leadership of the seven demon kings, launched a general attack towards the ideal township.
