Cadon Wilanbart, the current leader of the Violet family, is (supposedly) the current heir to shadow magic that has been lost for many years. He has been practicing his internal skills for decades, and he has traveled to both sides of the Chenhai Sea as a traveling mage, honing his skills and will, while also trying to find those ancient legacies hidden under the vicissitudes of life.

And he did succeed. The shadow magic has been cultivated to the fullest, and the pseudonym identity has indeed achieved great fame in the adventure world and the black (meow) road, and I have also unearthed ancient ruins and obtained the mysterious inheritance of the Mithril Bone. Although his real name is still little known, it is a template for the main character. If he can really complete the protagonist achievement task of counterattacking the enemy after he leaves the mountain, it will probably become another classic case of not bullying the poor youth, right?

However, the real world is very cruel, and he didn't even survive the first hard battle after he came out of the mountain. The fierce battle of more than 10,000 people, and the panic and panic of ten times the number of ordinary citizens, have transformed this huge fortress city into a chaotic place full of confusion and calamity. So, an old mage who died in the Great Hall was just a small additive in this background board.

To put it even more cruelly, 99% of the soldiers on both sides who were fighting didn't even know about the existence of this last shadow mage.

Who am I? Where am I? Where am I from? Where are you going? I don't know if Cadon Wielambat questioned himself like this before he died. If there were, it would be too sad.

The only thing that can be talked about is that there are always people who remember him.

"Old man Kadon, I should be dead." Dunbury Dandy Lane vs. Afudao.

"This ......," the old butler was a little shocked. He was born as a retainer who had served the Dandelion family for several generations, and his identity was a subordinate, but he was no different from the decision-making level, so he was naturally one of the few people who knew about the existence and ability of Kadon Wielambat. Ah Fu knew that Old Man Kadong was an important representative specially appointed by the Gate Valve Faction to the Chenhai Fleet, on the one hand, it was a certain political balance between the two families of Violet and Dandelion, and on the other hand, it was to act as his own extraordinary combat power. If he is there, even if he encounters Lu Xi Belencaster himself, he will always have the strength to fight, at least he will not be ridden in the face by the other party.

But now, this extraordinary combat power has not had time to brush up on two sense of existence, and he died like this?

"Spellcasters at our level, if they don't deliberately hide themselves, they will more or less have a little sense of consciousness. Just now, his magic power is so majestic, I'm afraid that there are people around the fortress who can sense it for hundreds of miles...... But he suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't feel his presence at all. It was another source of magic that had been fighting with him just now, and now it was even stronger. He, well, or her, shouldn't have to hide himself anymore. ”

"She?"

"It shouldn't be Lucy Berencaster himself, he's actually an arrogant guy at heart, and he's best in the limelight. If it does, I'm afraid we can already hear the crowd cheering his name in unison. Neither Seyleu nor Andreil had the strength to defeat Old Man Kadon, so he must have been one of Nanorka Takamachi or Fett Testrosa. ”

Why can't it be Yagomi Hayat? Old Ah Fu wanted to ask this, but after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him, the strongest of the trio, who is now the director of the Neosfia Standard Shipping Association and the chairman of the Future Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce, came to participate in the federal civil war to fight and kill? And the other two don't matter, their only official identity at the moment is that senior member of the Rausch Guerrilla Association, to put it bluntly, aren't they mercenaries?

It is justified for the mercenaries to come and help their employers fight, and to bring the lawsuit to the Great Holy Church.

Squinting paused, and said with a wry smile: "Huh...... That's the reality! The Colorful Rose is a vein, but there are so many monsters. I know why she's unleashing her magic fluctuations with impunity right now. An enemy transcendent descends on the fortress, and almost all our battle mages can feel her presence! ”

Battlemages are all officers, but their fighting spirit is not as good as that of ordinary minions. If they could really feel Nanoka's presence, they would probably be like sheep feeling the power of lions, right? It's bold not to be scared to the point of being scared, can you expect them to resist?

When I think of this, I squint and feel a headache. He stopped, stood in the dark underground passage, looked at the fork in the road in front of him, and hesitated for a moment.

Now, the young head of the Dandelion family, with his loyal and capable old butler, is walking through the tunnel leading from the fortress hall to the barracks area.

After all, Daroshul was originally a military fortress, connecting the military nodes throughout the island, in addition to the wide stone roads on the ground, there were also underground passages densely packed under the city. In addition to being passable, it can also be used as a backup warehouse and a cave envoy if necessary. If it weren't for the excessive cost of maintaining a constant portal now, the federal treasury would really not be able to come up with this kind of allocation, and it would be possible that there would be teleportation circles between various important fortresses and camps.

The underground passages inside the fortress are as dense as spider webs, and they are as complex as a labyrinth. If you don't have a map, you're almost guaranteed to get lost. However, after Squinting took over the fortress defenses, he brought the passage map and memorized it all after reading it for a few hours. For a spellcaster of his level, this kind of memorable memory can only be regarded as a basic ability. Otherwise, how could they possibly remember the intricate spells, mudras, spell structures, and magical flows of hundreds or thousands of magics?

Now, there are three forks in the road in front of Squint, and there is no end in sight. He knew, however, that the brightly lit one in the middle would lead him to the port area, and the right one would lead him to the westernmost barren hill of the fortress, and only the most inconspicuous on the left was the only way to the camp.

He was silent for a few seconds, and said sullenly, "Are we still going to the big camp?" Here, you may not be able to hold ......"

"Young master, there are still six or seven thousand people in the big battalion, our forces still have an absolute advantage, most of the fortresses and magic towers are still under our control, and the geographical advantage and supply advantages are also on our side. At the very least, we can hold out until our main fleet arrives. However, if we abandon this place, without the fortress of Daroshur as a backing, will we be able to fight against the Sky Rose Legion? ”

“…… The 5,000-odd men in Asterre have not yet returned, and we are already in this mess. Do you really think we can hold it? Squinting at each other, he pulled his leg to the right, that is, the road leading to the barren mountains outside the city.

Ah Fu sighed, his expression was a little sad, and he hurriedly followed. He knew that when the young master made this choice, the more than 20,000 soldiers of his own side in the fortress of Daroshu had become completely outcasts.

"Don't make such an expression, Ah Fu. We have done everything we can, and my grandmother has long told me what decision the heirs of the Dandelion family should make in such a situation. With such physical strength, it is better to try to pray, hoping that the main fleet under the command of Admiral Faneuil will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Of course, in a worse case, it is even more necessary to pray......"

What is the "worse case", Squint did not say. He really didn't know what to say, did he tell his loyal old butler, because someone had never shown up, and now his heart had begun to pull out the cold. For some reason, he felt that if he put himself in the position of Admiral Oster Faneuil, the current commander of the main fleet, he would definitely feel his scalp tingle......

But what can that man do? The main force of Sky Rose is still in Orgrimmar, the Thirteenth Legion is still in Black Man, and the mercenaries hired from the Capital of the Seven Seas are still in Gloren Harbor, except for the two thousand people who are in the fortress, there should not be many people around him?

Could it be that someone would really be stupid enough to challenge the mighty army of hundreds of warships and 50,000 soldiers on their own?

Even if it's 50,000 pigs, he has to die of exhaustion if he kills it alone, right?

In fact, not only 50,000 pigs, but also crews, auxiliaries, slave soldiers, and all sorts of mercenaries that are not counted as statistics, the main force transferred by the Emergency Committee to the eastern frontier is already a huge group of more than 150,000 large and small warships, more than 100,000 men. Of course, since there was more or less commotion and even rebellion in the provinces and military districts, it was necessary to divide troops to pacify them, so on this day, the troops that arrived at the air corridor of Hillen in the eastern part of the Federation totaled more than 63,000 men.

Of these, 45,000 were marines. Including the seventh, eleventh and seventeenth legions, which had already been turned into private armies by the gate lords and nobles - of course, these are actually a group of road specimens with empty central army formations, and it is a good hand to bully the common people, but if it really fights, it can only rely on equipment and cognitive advantages to deal with the bandits, and suppress the uprising of the poor and slaves who can't survive. In addition, there are more than a dozen independent wings composed of mercenaries and private troops of the gate lords. It sounds a bit suspicious of a rabble, but all of them are brave and ruthless, and by the standards of the feudal era, they can already be regarded as a "strong army". Of course, if the dog food is accidentally cut off, this group of fierce dogs doesn't mind turning their heads and nibbling their owners as food. So you have to be careful when using it.

Such a force is limited in Lu Xi's opinion to be stronger than scum, but after all, it is also 45,000 people. In any era, on any battlefield, it is a vast army that cannot be ignored. In this world, 80 percent of the countries that smash the pot and sell iron can't get this half of the number of troops.

The 45,000 troops were on more than forty large transport ships and were located in the rear of the fleet.

Nearly 20,000 sailors, as well as more than 60 floating warships of various sizes and sizes piloted by them, constitute the strongest combat strength of this unit. It was also the largest fleet that the federal government had assembled in twenty years, even surpassing the mobile fleet used to defeat orcs and undead back then.

There is no way, the feudal state is like this, the aristocratic lords will always fight hard only when their core interests are threatened, and the so-called national interests and group interests are far from the word "core".

Although there is no unsinkable air fortress like Nahibia, the red, black and blue ships composed of its core are the world's newest guided warships. Therefore, whether it is an ordinary sailor on the ship, or the officers and captains of the ship, they all feel that this is a fleet that has far surpassed the combat effectiveness of the year. Many people even felt that the idea of the "old men above" relying on the fortress of Daroshur to fight the Sky Rose Legion was too conservative.

Sky Rose, such a big name, isn't it a recruit egg who has only been in the army for a few years? I hadn't seen those people before, weren't they all a bunch of untouchables and wild dog-like ruffians? Well, even if the name is not blown out, but do they have battleships? Can you jump up and hit us in the knee?

Compared with the arrogance of the people under his command, General Oster Faneuil, as the commander of the whole army, directly poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

"Really? Oh, in the Battle of Farahals back then, the officers and men of our army also thought so! ”

Many people lowered their heads in shame, even if they had a problem in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Admiral Oster Faneuil is already the only remaining admiral among the nobles of the gate.

This veteran was only born in the Faneuil family, a second- and third-tier aristocracy, and is in the embarrassing situation where the commoners think you are a "rotten nobleman", but the aristocratic faction thinks that you are just a "few generations of nouveau riche". However, the previous generation, that is, the father of the general, Master Lusava, can be regarded as a masterpiece. He was a well-known and beautiful man in the intellectual league and aristocratic social circles of the time, and gave birth to a handsome and excellent son, Admiral Oster, and two beautiful and brilliant daughters, the two sisters of the Admiral. He himself had little success in the path of mage, but with his beautiful skills in the social world, he succeeded in winning the daughter of the Wielambat family for Admiral Oster, and married two beautiful daughters into the Dandy Lane and Eurentian families.

After such an operation, the second- and third-tier Faneuil family finally succeeded in squeezing into the circle of first-class gate valves, even if they are not decision-makers, they will at least be regarded as "their own people".

However, about the birth of his relatives and sons-in-law, Admiral Oster at least had a much greater sense of crisis than the disciples of the gate lords who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he worked diligently and steadily. Although he is not the reincarnation of a talented and imaginative military god, he is indeed the most suitable commander of this army.

From the standpoint of the State of Emergency Committee, the country has already occupied the capital and most of the country, and theoretically it has taken the lead in the general right. As long as they are undefeated, the balance of strategy will definitely tilt in favor of their side.

And Admiral Oster, who was burdened with a thousand pounds, did exactly that. Rather than taking the offer to let the faster cruisers and guided warships go at full speed to support the fortress of Darroshur, he gathered all the main forces together in a decent manner.

Although several divisions were carried out, it still took a long hour for the huge team with more than one large and small warships to enter the Hilren Aerial Corridor one after another, and at this time, the leading avant-garde fleet was even about to reach the end of the corridor.

At this time, General Oster Faneuil, who was sitting on the general flagship of the whole army, also received a signal from the avant-garde: "The sky is high and the clouds are flat today...... No, there are enemy ships approaching! ”

Sure enough. Admiral Oster was secretly puzzled, but there was no fluctuation on his face, and he asked in a deep voice, "How much?" ”

"Only, only one?" The intelligence staff officer translated the magic signals from the front in an unbelievable voice.

So, this time, His Excellency the Admiral could no longer remain calm.
