White Oak Fortress, Outer Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Broken walls and bones were everywhere, littered with shattered weapons and armor that had begun to rust, scattered on a stumble of pebbles destroyed by elemental magic.

It was once part of a great city, a place full of national glory and history, but now, apart from the tents erected by the invaders and the ruins of the ruins, there is no longer a civilized city.

In a world of magic and force, war-torn cities are several times worse than medieval cities on Earth, and the elemental storm sweeps through the solid stone buildings that collapse in an instant, and not even a single mouse can survive the terrible magic covering. If the Freedom Alliance's troops leave here, then this place will really be no different from the Dead City.

As a result of the last war, tens of thousands of Free Alliance troops were stationed here, cleaning up relatively intact houses in the ruins, erecting tents among the wreckage of buildings, using this important city of the kingdom as the border of their own country, setting up sentry posts, erecting forts, and confronting the kingdom troops in the inner city.

In the inner city, most of the buildings are well maintained, still habitable, and can continue to support urban development. Sadly, however, the inner city is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and there is no one but the kingdom's guards and a small number of speculative merchants who risk their lives and losses to feed the kingdom. It has become the southern border of the kingdom, and the enemy can attack from a few streets away at any time, and it is no longer safe to use.

"Defend the position!" "Click..."

On the deserted streets of the outer city, a barbarian instructor was raising the sword in his hand, constantly shouting "guard the position", and in front of him, there were hundreds of dancing skeleton warriors, all of whom were high-level skeletons summoned by the skeleton army, whose strength could easily kill an ordinary kingdom's armed peasants one-on-one, and the regular army could also fight for a while, and was the backbone of the huge skeleton army stationed here. At this time of the day, they would shout slogans led by the barbarian, which sounded ridiculous, but it was a good motivating effect on their intellect.

"It doesn't take long for Lord Lord's order to attack, so we'll have to be ready then." In a half-ruined chamber of commerce in the outer city, two heavily armored knights sat at a table with two large glasses of ale and a well-drawn map.

"That's good, otherwise you can't do anything here except consume supplies, but there is no suitable place to camp fifty kilometers away from this city." The other knight looked at the map on the table and shook his head a little helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, at least we have emptied the remnants of the kingdom in the nearby towns, and the local nobles and officials there have also chosen to support us, and the supplies along the way will be stable when the lord goes north next time." The hoppy knight on the opposite side dipped a quill pen in red ink, and the last town inside the territory of the Free Alliance was circled in red on the map.

"Anyway, cheers!"

"Bump!"

As the commander of the garrison troops, these two level 6 heavy knights are still relatively satisfied, in the recent friction with the kingdom, the troops have not produced any significant attrition, and I have successfully suppressed all the resistance forces in several surrounding cities, raised a lot of food, and by distributing land to the peasants who fled from the nobility and landlords to get local support, so that the logistics of the army has been guaranteed to a certain extent, which fully shows their ability, and the lord is also very happy, writing a letter to praise them, Even if there is no direct salary or reward, they are very happy.

"By the way, did you hear anything?" Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the heavily armed knight who was wreathing on the map just now suddenly frowned, their strength is at the peak of the battle master, except for the new royal knight Hankauer, who is responsible for the defense of the northern front, the knights in the army are the strongest among them, and their sensory perception ability is naturally very keen.

"Boom! "Woooooooooooo

"What's the matter, those turtles actually came out of their shells!"

Hearing the sound of the broken bell in the outer city and the horn of the barbarians, the two knights rushed to the door in an instant, and the sound only meant one thing, the defenders of the kingdom who had been hiding in the city walls and did not dare to come out came out, and they were still in a big move.

"Fight back now!"

These were the first words shouted by the two hoplites as they burst out of the gate, and even though they had never taken off their armor while they were resting and stationed, and their men had not relaxed. They drew their knightly swords at their waists and roared in the direction of the inner city, the only direction of attack from the enemy.

Flames were rising, explosions were heard, and elemental storms were like whirlpools, engulfing or flying tribal armies. Either way, these storms are dangerous, deadly, and the elemental tides of different colors differ only in the way they die.

The battle had begun, but the deathless skeleton soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies for a while, and even the most powerful barbarians had to find a place to hide. But it's no wonder they're cowardly, because they can't reach the enemy. In the direction of the inner city, the gates were still closed, and there was no one on the "ground".

The two knights seemed to realize something, and they raised their heads and stared at the battleship in the sky.

That's right, a battleship, a big battleship that was supposed to sail on the seas.

It also has towering masts and also has wide, brightly colored canvases, just like their brethren in the sea. However, the difference is that this sailing battleship, which is more than 70 meters long, is floating in the air at an altitude of about 200 meters, and the bottom of the battleship is a shining floating array, constantly pushing the battleship upward. And in the distance behind this battleship, another battleship is also heading in this direction, and even from the ground, you can see that the battleship behind it is larger than this one.

Like the armoured galleons of modern times, this warship has thick iron-hulled armor, but it is more powerful than the former. The glow of the magic cannon flickered from time to time, and powerful attacks filled with elemental power continued to fall from the sky, destroying and disintegrating the tribal army on the ground. This kind of offensive was something they had never expected.

"What the hell!"

It was an angry roar from a heavily armored knight.
