Chapter 1580: The Politics of the Royal Road
This really can't be blamed on King Iraza and Mr. Strategist's nerves being too thick, it's really the White Ark coming too fast. It then began to fall under the cover of the clouds, and its speed had increased to the extreme the moment the soldiers of the two sides on the periphery spotted the white ship. As a result, before the demons and monsters conveyed the information to the main formation, the hill where their banner was located had already entered the range of the guide gun.
However, the first salvo was not from the top of the mountain, but from the Minotaur and the Grey Dwarf troops lying in ambush on either side. They felt that they were well ambushed, but it was impossible for them to hide from a condescending astrologer.
"That cannon on the hill may reach the friendly forces, so I'll do it myself." Drow said, and then hopped up and down to a guide gun mounted on the foredeck.
The dwarven gunnery instructors were very calm, but the expressions of the gunners on the Federation's side were a little subtle. Although they had followed the little girl's orders very carefully, they were still a little suspicious that such a petite and delicate Lori would coil such a black, thick and long big tube.
"Hehe, when the old lady was playing with the guiding weapon, you were still plowing the fields in the countryside." Akdina patted the pistol on her waist, and although she didn't say so, she did clearly convey it with her expression.
So the sailors suddenly said, Miss, you just say yes, as long as you want to shoot as many cannons as you want! We will fully cooperate with Yunyun.
At the moment when Akdina completed the ranging measurement, loaded the bullet, and aimed at such a series of actions with refined movements, the battalion of the so-called "Hundred Tribes Righteous Army" also fell into irreversible chaos.
The first salvo of the white boat's artillery fire completely turned the valley floor on both sides of the hillside into a sea of fire. Wails, screams, and severed limbs accompanied by shattered stones and dirt were thrown out of the orange-red blast blast and fell directly onto the hillside.
The attackers and defenders, who were still in a stalemate, fell silent for a short time. However, after a few seconds, the momentum of both sides began to change in an oblique manner at an almost visible speed, as if several overweight weights were pressed on one side of the scale.
Goblin kobolds and the like originally belonged to the cannon fodder race that could only fight downwind battles, and the reason why they have been able to persist until now is that they have the advantage of geography and troops, and the overseer team of the bear goblins and winged people behind them is still very fierce. As for the cavemen, the average morale is higher. As a result, the chieftains of the goblins and kobolds had already cultivated into a conditioned reflex and fought and retreated, and the confusion became a sudden front, and they were immediately besieged and lost.
They knew that there were ambushes of their own people on both sides, which was one of the important reasons why they had been able to hold out until now. However, when the flames that fell from the sky turned the valley floors on both sides into a sea of fire, and when the tall and mighty minotaurs and gray dwarves let out even more terrible screams than they did, the last remaining courage vanished.
Kobolds and goblins began to flee in all directions, and the pride of these small, leathery races was that they would never waver in their determination to escape, no matter how ruthless the Overseers behind them were. And even in the mountains, they can find a way to escape. Just curl up your short body and jump directly down the hillside next to you. Although at least one-third of them will fall to their deaths, the battlefield escape rate is already very high.
Of course, at this time, it is impossible for their Warlord to continue to fulfill their obligations. The bear goblins also began to clutch their heads and scream "Whoaaaaa As for the winged people, they are even more like a flock of frightened sparrows.
King Iraza has no master, and it suddenly occurred to him that every time he encounters such an urgent crisis, doesn't he have a very reliable companion? He hurriedly shouted: "Jun, Master Soldier, how can we ......?"
The Winged Man was stunned halfway through shouting, and the military master who was as chubby as him didn't know when he had disappeared.
Me, am I being tricked?
Before this thought could turn in Iraza's mind, his fortune, and even his life, came to an end. The ensuing cannon fire from the White Ark directly covered him and his banner completely. Such a precise hit, of course, was put by Akdina himself.
At this moment, the total collapse of the so-called "Hundred Tribes Righteous Army" also began. In this chaotic battlefield, the morale of the Federation soldiers on all fronts soared and began to fight back in full force. However, what the warring parties did not know was that the real organizers of the so-called "Hundred Tribes Righteous Army" were indeed the first to find out that something was wrong and disembarked directly.
When the hill where the camp was located was covered in firelight, the chubby military master had already silently used the dimensional gate that had been prepared a long time ago, and came to the hidden mountain stream hundreds of meters away. He looked at the fallen banner on the hill in the distance and made a prayer gesture: "The god of war will be with you, woo woo, my king ......"
The fat military division's voice was still a little crying, and it sounded very sincere. Anyway, Iraza was really nice to him, so maybe his grief was still real.
However, after crying a few times, the chubby military advisor quickly recovered his spirits. He threw away his mask and sighed: "...... It's not that I don't work hard, it's that thing is coming! Anyway, why did that thing come? What the hell are Elichar's idiots doing! β
The military advisor scolded a few words, but he also knew that this was actually useless.
"So, what's next?" He muttered to himself and casually took off his mask, revealing the face of an unremarkable, round, greasy middle-aged man. Although it is greasy, it is not obscene, and it is very pleasing.
"At least we have to inform that Dunboley guy, the Sixth Legion here will definitely get out of trouble. It is imperative, then, that the fortress of Daroshur be pacified as soon as possible, so that it can be ready to meet the victorious army of Astre. Speaking of this, he sighed a little helplessly: "...... Alas, it's clear that I'm the most annoying to do this kind of errand, but I still want to do it, it's really stretched! With this virtue, the old men are still thinking about a coup d'Γ©tat, and if they have this heart, it is better to seriously educate those younger generations who are not successful. β
He grumbled quietly, checking his direction, and then his chubby figure flashed, and the man appeared on a small hill ten meters away.
Obviously, this is a stance jump, although it is not as terrifying as a performance jump of 100 meters or even hundreds of meters at a time, but it is far beyond the average level.
"In that direction?" The chubby gray-robed man quickly determined the direction of the Daroshur Fortress, looked at the approaching shouts and clashing sounds, exhaled bitterly, and simply jumped into the river next to him.
He used breathing techniques to walk in the river for nearly half a day, during which time he successfully bypassed the ongoing battlefield with the help of the river that passed through the mountain stream and cave, and then came ashore from a secluded river valley before walking to the top of the mountain.
Although the fat mage said that he was most annoyed by "running errands", looking at his vigorous steps of trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on the ground, it was obvious that he was a master of field action who had accumulated a lot of experience.
It took him less than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain. Looking at the battlefield again, whether it was pitch-black smoke or scarlet blood, there was only a little left at the end of his sight.
The fat man felt that he should be safe, so he formed a summoning seal in his hands: "Come out, my comrade-in-arms......"
A large summoning spell unfolded in front of him, and the magic of light and shadow condensed into a huge bird-shaped phantom, slowly solidifying towards the entity.
Except for some hanging, any mage needs to focus when casting spells, so when breaking the sky, "Whew! When the sound sounded from behind him, the fat man couldn't react at all.
An ice spear pierced his back and exited his chest. The cold chill spread like venom, freezing half of his body and even the organs in his body.
Ironically, his wounds were frozen by the cold all at once. So, the serious wound that pierced his lung lobe with such a direct blow did not even leave a few drops of blood.
"B. Braun?? Ilse. Right? A female voice rang out behind him.
Addressed as "B. Braun?? The fat man of "Ils" had already fallen to his knees all at once, and the severe injury to his lungs made him unable to speak for a while, let alone turn back.
Then, the owner of the voice had already walked directly in front of him. It was a woman dressed in elaborate black jade-colored scale armor, a blood-red cloak, and a Mithril vine headband. This is a stunning beauty, full of youth, graceful figure, with a mysterious and elegant charm flowing from her eyebrows, as if a dark ruler who was born to walk under the moon. It's a pity that in those well-defined eye sockets, there are a pair of chilling ice-blue eyes, and they are especially the vertical pupils of large reptiles.
What kind of reptile can make him shudder and feel oppressive, the fat man immediately thought of the answer.
"Dragon ......"
The woman, who was suspected of being a dragon, tilted her head to look at the fat man, and simply took out a booklet from her arms, on which each page was painted with the portrait of the character and the handwriting marked below. She flipped through one of the pages, compared it, and nodded, "Well, it's indeed B. Braun??" Ils. One of the heads of the major merchant groups under the command of the Ils family, he is very good at organizing, negotiating, and managing money, but he is also good at summoning arcane arts. But ah, no matter what you're good at, with this girl standing nearby, you can't escape. β
The woman proudly stuffed the booklet back, looked at the fat man with a white face and blue and black due to blood loss and frostbite, and added: "Don't worry, that guy said, no matter who intercepts him, he must save his life." So you can't die. β
Selena?? Moonlight! The queen of the newly-born kingdom of the Henas bloodline, the half-blooded half-dragon queen of the dragonborn.
Since he is the head of the money bag of the Ils family, B. Braun?? Ils certainly knows the leading figures of all the great powers and important powers. Now, he finally recognized the other party, but then the various possibilities that he thought of made his heart suddenly cold, although he was not far from the cold now......
"This, this must be a misunderstanding. Your Majesty......" He opened his mouth and focused the last of his strength on his tongue, and although the pain and cold made his whole body almost unconscious, the words that came out of his mouth quickly flowed.
"I, I'm a member of the Ils family, a legal citizen of the Federation, a registered mage of the Learned Alliance, and the Kingdom of Henas isn't it our ally? Why did you attack me? This must be a misunderstanding! Yes, misunderstanding! β
He had always been more confident in his eloquence and incendiary abilities, more than in magic. In this situation, you will definitely not be able to beat the other party, but maybe you can get out with your mouth.
Sure enough, Queen Selena really didn't seem to be good at words, and opened her mouth to say something, but showed a distressed expression. But then, another voice sounded behind B. Braun.
"It's not a misunderstanding, Mr. Ears, we were under the command of your country's military, Lu Xi?? Lin Ge?? At the invitation of Admiral Berencaster, he participated in the joint action of the remnants of the Parliament of the Dead. As for why you, a son of a wealthy Arcane family, would join forces with the remnants of the undead, we would like your country to give us an answer as soon as possible. β
The person who spoke was also clad in pitch-black scale armor and blood-red robes, with a rapier hanging from his waist. This is a middle-aged beautiful man who looks around forty years old, also full of elegance and mystery, to put it bluntly, the temperament of special X. It's just that it's different from Selena. He has a pair of scarlet eyes, which are very typical of the noble trait of the Blood Clan.
Marquis of Saville, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Henas Blood Kingdom, the Chief of Intelligence, the brainchild of the Dragonborn Queen, and the right and left hand of His Royal Highness Awen, the True Ancestor of the year.
The fat man determined the identity of the other party in an instant, but it was still useless.
"What are you doing with him talking so much nonsense?" Queen Selena muttered dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, that guy Lu Xi asked us to help." β
I'm so stupid, really! The fat man thought, how could I have forgotten? It is rumored that this dragonborn queen and little Belencaster also seem to have a leg? Isn't it logical to bring troops over to help your lover stand on the platform?
That's why we need to make sense. The more justified our reasons are, the more justified Lord Lu Xi's actions will be in the future. Oh, Your Majesty, this is politics. The old minister pondered, this is actually a good opportunity, you can just observe Lord Lu Xi's actions from beginning to end, and see what is called the royal road in politics. β
"Tsk......" The little queen of the Dragonborn snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not particularly refute it.
"Okay, looking at this time, the undead lords who want to continue to escape should have been taken down by everyone, and the evidence that Lord Lu Xi asked us to collect should be counted."
