At two o'clock in the morning on November 28, 1228, the Rose Legion, who was responsible for the siege of the fortress of Oraheran, had already eaten and drunk, clapped their hands, and went back to their ships or camps on the island to rest. However, the artillery positions set up on the island of Itre were still in full swing.

Despite the help of the dwarven engineers and alchemists, and the actual combat experience, the artillerymen of the Rose Legion still need to be very careful about setting up such a large super guide cannon. The barrel is too long, and it needs to be spliced temporarily, and there can be no mistakes when splicing, and it is necessary to use the craftsmanship of first-class engineers. The cannon body is too heavy, and the recoil can make the earth's axis tremble, and the foundation of the floating island is not as good as the mainland, so it has to rely on the skill of an alchemist. In addition, any shell that goes off fire may send everyone to the sky, and you have to be careful and careful.

From the time of dinner to the second half of the night, everyone was a little tired, but they all felt a fire in their hearts when they saw that the cannon cannon that was about to be ten stories high just raised its barrel and pointed it at the clouds. The artillerymen couldn't wait to try their shots, well, the big, senseless fortress under the guns was a good target.

This is the most powerful weapon ever built by man, right? Even the "Sun God's Pupil" in the fortress can't be compared. Captain Grant looked at the cannon god of the giant cannon with fascination, and thought of the scene when their predecessors destroyed the Thunder Cliff Fortress, which had stood for thousands of years.

However, as a pragmatic and good young man, he always felt that setting up such a giant cannon was a bit of a suspicion of cannon fighting mosquitoes. In fact, with the twenty gates of the Honshan generals arranged here, they were able to cover the entire fortress. He was also fully confident that he would completely suppress all the firepower of the fortress. The so-called Zhenguo artifact "Sun God's Pupil", that thing takes at least five minutes to charge for a shot. As soon as he shows his head, he can fire ten thousand cannons in unison and destroy the opponent's artillery and men on the gun mount.

So, what's the point of these two Gustifa No. 2 and No. 3? Well, then again, why call Gustev?

"Perhaps, just for deterrence?" Grant muttered to himself.

"No, it's for other purposes. That fortress in front of you isn't the target. A voice sounded behind him.

Grant was taken aback, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's voice was indeed quite pleasant, clear and warm without the slightest malice, and vaguely heard it there, he might have pulled out his sword and guide gun.

When he turned around, he saw a woman bowing to him...... Well, maybe it's a beautiful girl whose appearance is between a heroic and beautiful girl, a beautiful boy who is delicate and lovely, a higher-dimensional existence beyond mortals. Although she has now put away her light wings, her body is only the size of an ordinary person, and the gorgeous holy light she comes with has been completely constricted into her body, hidden and invisible. However, the delicate and even somewhat dreamy beauty is enough to prove its inhuman existence.

"Miss Sareel." Grant bowed his head and saluted, but thought in his heart, aren't you an angel, how can you live out of a dark brotherhood in the way you appear now?

For the sovereign, the biggest "retainer", he has always been under great pressure. However, he was a little puzzled about the reason why the other party appeared at this time. You must know that the successive battles in the past few months have decided the future of the Federation, but they have also determined the royal power of the Lord Lu Xi, and all of their retainers will naturally not be present. However, only Miss Salel, the most powerful and supposedly the most commanding - after all, she was the master who participated in the war of the gods with the angels and the army of light in ancient times- never appeared.

Either it means that people don't care about this kind of "mortal" struggle at all, or she just has more important tasks to do.

"I went to pick up some things, and now I'm finally back at the right time." Miss Archangel replied.

Grant didn't ask what it was. As a stable and responsible person among Lu Xi's friends, he has never been an overly curious person, and if he needs information he knows, he will take the initiative to tell others without asking.

"Mr. Grant, let your soldiers take turns resting, but be prepared to fight at any time."

Grant didn't think the panicked defenders in the fortress were emboldened, and he was sure Miss Salelier would be able to see it. After all, this angel lady who looks very sweet to smile, when it comes to the time of leading the army, it is longer than the days when her friends are alive combined.

Well, there is only one possibility. There will be an enemy more exaggerated than the Oraheran fortress in front of which the gates have been operating for hundreds of years, or a more worthy target for a few shots.

Grant nodded solemnly, and was about to give the order, but heard Miss Angel say again: "In addition, I will convey the instructions of our lord Luxi Berencaster, it is about three o'clock in the morning. As soon as the time was up, three flares were fired in the direction of Elichar. ”

Since it was fired by something like a Gustav cannon, even a signal flare is earth-shattering.

The sound of its cannon fire suddenly shook all the soldiers inside Olaheran to their senses, and after a few seconds of confusion, they suddenly felt that the enemy was well fed and ready for a night attack. However, most people didn't say that they went up to the city wall to resist, but even shrank in a corner with their heads in their hands and began to shout "Mom".

Why didn't the officers gather to agitate them? Because at this time, the aristocratic officers who had been frightened in the just-concluded Battle of Dongmen Island behaved even more unbearable than ordinary soldiers.

Fortunately, although they have no guts, at least they still have brains, and no one is stupid to open the pupils of the sun god like this. Otherwise, the two dozen or so cannons that are ready to be fired outside will not be as simple as signal flares.

In short, the whole of Olahelan was in such chaos for nearly an hour, and only then did someone go up to the lookout with trepidation, and look out, and find that the enemy troops besieging the city did not react much, and then they were greatly relieved, and then reported to Marshal Mencius. The latter may be the only one in the fortress who can still keep his composure.

"So, rest assured, the enemy is not attacking. Probably just a bluff. ”

Seeing that the marshal did not speak, Colonel Ymir comforted him with a strong spirit: "Probably the enemy was frightened by the impregnable city defenses of Olahlan, so he used such an unsightly little trick." ”

"Isn't it unsightly? Aren't you all scared? The marshal said expressionlessly: "If they really attack with all the army at this time, can you hold it?" ”

Colonel Ymir was speechless, but Mencius laughed and sighed, "However, this is none of my business. He patted Ymir on the shoulder with a rare smile, then walked over to the window and pushed it open. The cold night wind above the sky suddenly rushed into the room, and the colonel almost couldn't open his eyes.

"Headmaster, you ......"

"Elichar is in complete chaos. It doesn't make much sense for us to insist here...... No, or rather, what we did at the beginning of the coup d'état was meaningless. Marshal Mensius said as he stepped onto the ledge.

"You, Headmaster, you can't do that! What will we do if you leave? ”

"You can do whatever you want. Whether you run away, surrender, or resist to the end, it's up to you to decide. Also, don't show that expression, I won't jump into the sea if I want to kill myself, I'm going to rush back to Elichar now to be with my family. That's it. With these words, Marshal Mencius had already jumped off the ledge.

When his lieutenant ran to the windowsill, of course, he would not see a suicide who had fallen into the sea of clouds, but he would only see the marshal riding on the bird of light condensed by the elements, and he had already flown out of the range of the fortress and headed in the direction of Elichar. Although the army outside surrounded Olaheran, it was also a legendary mage with this brilliant artifact in his hand. Of course, they're not actually prepared to stop it.

"So, he's abandoned us like this......" Colonel Ymir stared blankly at the commander and waved his hand without taking a cloud away and disappeared into the sky, like a little woman who had finally discovered that the men were all big pig's trotters, at a loss, and before she even had time to resent, she was about to be crushed by the impending reality.

Speaking of Elichar's side, Mr. Taran, who went down in history as the first shot of the uprising, really lived up to his name as the "King of Grey Worm Lane", and his appeal among the poor was really not covered. In the past few days, many people have been mobilized in private. So, when the three "red meteors" pierced the sky, more than 2,000 young men rose up at the same time, and almost without any fighting, all the hundreds of garrisons were disarmed.

At this time, everyone finally realized that the "dog legs" who usually ride on their heads for prestige look like they are showing off their might, but if they move in earnest, they are really not as good as them "cockroaches that can't die in the gutter".

The rebels also had some decent weapons in their hands, and some even excitedly offered to attack the armory or the nearby gendarmerie station, but Taran was not carried away and persuaded everyone. He led the rebellious people from Dongcheng District to the south, bypassing the road heavily fortified by the gendarmerie, all the way to the south, shouting loudly, "Open the city gates and welcome the king of Lu!" King Lu is here and doesn't pay for food! slogan.

More and more people joined their ranks, not only the poor, but also a considerable number of citizens and even intellectuals. By the time the large army left Dongcheng District, the total number had exceeded 10,000. At this time, Taran divided his troops, all the way to the warehouse area, and then rushed along the Talong Bridge into the agricultural areas of the South Island.

At this time, the battle between the rebel army and the "government army" was really started.

Naturally, the well-guarded military warehouses could not be touched, but only the warehouses guarded by the nobles, private soldiers and wealthy businessmen could be touched hard, touched hard, and damaged to be considered victory.

As for the agricultural areas on the South Island, to put it bluntly, they are all special offerings for the old man. It is clear that most of the country's grain cannot be produced by itself, and the citizens of Elichar have to rely on imports even for stinky salted fish, but there is such a large island on the edge of the capital to graze sheep and sheep. In addition to the finest concentrate feed, it is often necessary to arrange for the animals to massage and play music, which is said to be the only way to ensure the best meat quality. As for whether it's true or not, the common people haven't eaten it anyway, and now they finally have a chance to give it a try.

Since it is a special provision for magicians and masters, since these beasts can cover 90% of the living expenses of the citizens just for their daily feed, and since they live more like high-class "people" than the vast majority of people, it must be delicious, right?

Since they are already "eating his mother and drinking her mother", there is nothing to be afraid of.

As it turned out, the resentment over food was endless, and the rebellious citizens, who had been barely half-fed for days, burst out with unprecedented courage and, after paying the price of 100 casualties, finally broke the outpost of the Tadon Long Bridge.

There are more than 300 Antis black cattle and thousands of red rock sheep raised here, but more than half of them were cut down by the rebels in ten minutes. Look at the ruthlessness, the townspeople's resentment against these brutes who live better than themselves is really quite big.

On the other hand, the rebels also quickly captured the civilian warehouse area. Those dog-legged people who have been acting more powerful than the old men naturally do not end well, and the situation is much worse than that of the guards who surrender and hand over their weapons to avoid death.

As expected, there was indeed a considerable amount of grain and various daily necessities hoarded in the warehouse, which was clearly the collusion of the nobles and wealthy merchants to prepare for the country's troubled fortune. Taran ordered them to be pulled directly into the street, allowing ordinary citizens to come and pick them up.

It was only at this time that the bigwigs of the State of Emergency Committee finally reacted.

"What, rebellion?" When Turner Wielambat received the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a tone of disbelief: "Isn't it the rebel soldiers who sneak into the city?" ”

For the head of the high-ranking Ofa family, the speaker of the gate valve faction that has ruled the Federation for hundreds of years, and now the "legitimate head of the Federation", Turner Wiylambart has never been able to believe that those dog-like untouchables really dare to rise up and resist.

For more than five hundred years, have you not been prostrate under our majesty? Have you not always seen us as the embodiment of the gods? Haven't you been just begging for a few bones to survive?

It's been 500 years, haven't everyone been at peace like this? Why rebel at this time?

"It can't be! Can that group of untouchables, even if a thousand people come, be able to deal with a spellcaster who has just left school? Why did they rebel? Turner Wielambart yelled.

"But it's already happening." Brigadier General Kamensk, who came to report, said: "Admiral Dandy Lane has promised that he will suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and restore stability here. However, this incident is by no means an isolated incident, and rebels will indeed infiltrate the city of Elichar. For the sake of safety, I also ask Your Excellency the Chairman to go to the Azure Palace to preside over the overall situation, and I will personally be responsible for escorting you along the way. ”

"Ming, understood." Turner Wielambart nodded, and was just about to go out, when he thought of something, he called his most trusted retainer's butler, and commanded in a low voice, "You...... Bring a few reliable guards and escort Duyd to the harbor first. ”

The housekeeper wanted to say that even if he went, it would be difficult to escape. Perhaps the "rebel" fleet is already in the city, and all shipping routes will be blocked. However, as a retainer who had served the Violet family for three generations, he only sighed heavily in the end, nodded with difficulty, and his face was full of sadness.

The master and servant were about to stage a bitter drama of life and death, when another gendarme trotted into the house and whispered a few words to Kamensk, whose expression suddenly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Wielan Bat asked.

“…… You guessed it. The rebels on Dugu Fort have already opened the city to attack, and our army is outnumbered and is retreating. And the Academy District, the Southern Cross District, and the Jaime District have also taken place in the Magic War of a considerable scale, and it should be the magicians who have infiltrated the enemy. But it doesn't matter, the gendarmerie is confident that it will keep you safe and that peace will be restored to Elichar. ”

I don't even have any faith in what kind of faith do you have? Turner thought. This situation is clearly a fire everywhere, right? And, even if you really manage to keep the situation under control, what if that kid's army comes?

The head of the Violet family was silent for a few seconds, but on the contrary, he calmed down, as if he had some enlightenment, and said calmly: "Then, Brigadier General, let's go on the road." ”
