"Good! This news is really a big piece of people's hearts! ”

Walking on a rough and muddy road, my mood changed for the first time.

The troops I borrowed from Wang Shengzhe at a great deal of money did not live up to my expectations, and in half an hour's effort, I was able to deal with the annoying warship in the west with the undead troops. We've lost a hundred and ten low-level undead and a flying machine, but we've proven that it's not as terrible as it seems, it's invincible. As long as we have enough firepower, we can get even huge floating battleships out of the sky.

Our losses are not small, especially the flying machine, one will cost 5,000 gold coins, although Wang Shengzhe said that this is the cost price, but I still feel that I have been cheated, for this reason, he also asked for some of the undead reinforcements I was going to leave before.

However, the other party's losses are obviously worse, obviously the kingdom has not figured out the correct use of this big country toy, let us make a bargain, a floating battleship, even if it is second-hand, is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, this kind of loss, if it were me, it is estimated that I will faint.

And this time our message delay is not very large, we have made some preparations before, once we succeed, we will respond, the artillery will fire in unison, and then the other garrison areas within the artillery transmission range will also fire in the same way, and when it comes to the final city, it will not take more than a few hours. Even if you count the time for the undead to send the letter, it only took one day, although this beacon-like method is a bit primitive and has many restrictions, but it is still good to use it for the time being.

However, we also received news from the valley, the situation is really getting worse day by day, the royal knight Hancall in charge of the defense of the northern front sent me the news, the kingdom's army has broken through the valley position, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and now his army is less than 2,000 left, and now he is guarding a small town in Fangzi, which is close to the forest and does not produce saltpeter, but also produces another raw material for gunpowder - charcoal.

The kingdom relied on their elite troops and two powerful warships to simply walk sideways on my territory, and in only a few days, the kingdom's troops had recaptured two-thirds of the land we occupied in the last war, and the remaining third also had a tendency to go unreported. The speed with which those local officials and lords defected was unimaginable, and they were still loyal to me the day before, and today they shouted that they would support the royal family to clear the rebels of the rebels, and they would be the same as when I came before. As for the southern lords, they can't run, but with their current strength, I'm afraid that it would be good if the major families together could block the kingdom warship for a morning.

I didn't pay much attention to this, after all, this was also expected, in fact, even if I took back these lands, those wall grasses would still immediately turn against me and hug my thighs, and I would not be able to remove these nobles and officials in a short time. I did develop something like cultural propaganda, and the illiteracy rate in the former Free Cities League had dropped by forty percent, but they probably didn't play a big role in the places where the aristocracy was deeply rooted.

What I'm thinking about now is what will happen after defeating the kingdom's forces, and I have confidence that the kingdom won't be able to win against us. However, we are also not ready to take the kingdom into the palm of our hands, and the logistical supply and personnel structure is not yet perfect, so it will be very difficult to fight all the way to the north to annex the kingdom, but once we reveal our true strength, I am afraid that other countries, including the major powers, will continue to support the Subic royal family, make things bigger, and profit from it. At that time, even if we solve the problem in the rear, it will be difficult for us to eat the entire Subic Kingdom in front of a group of hungry wolf-like countries.

"My lord, we have passed through Lord Fangzi's factory, and not far ahead is the garrison of the kingdom's army."

At this moment William walked in, and the prince gave me a detailed report of the situation and came to a conclusion.

"According to the summary of the battle reports we have, there are many problems with the opponent's floating battleship, and it is necessary to rest for a period of time after each operation, maybe it is maintenance or heat dissipation, I don't know these things very well, but I heard the goblin engineer say that these flaws will seriously affect the combat capability of the battleship."

"That's right, William, but I'm afraid they're ready now, and now they're afraid they'll open fire when they see us."

I smiled and nodded in agreement.

"We came with the determination to win, as both Louis and Edward affirmed. You don't have to worry about the ships that fly in the sky, although they have taken advantage of the previous battles, but these old sailing ships are far from our big ones. ”

William's tone was very relaxed, he had scouted the opponent's warship, it was impossible not to see the strength of the other party, it seemed that the air battle in the tribal world was much more fierce than I imagined. But William was right, I was angry, but I never thought I would fail, because I had a killer move, and this move could be matched even if Leon's main battleship came.

I took out the Christmas staff that I always carried with me, but I never took it out because it was so cartoonish, and although it looked weird, it was amazingly powerful. With this staff, I can freeze my enemies with ice without using a single amount of water elemental power. And the thing that was awarded to me with this staff was a world of difference compared to this staff.

"Is that the kingdom's warship?"

I got out of the carriage, and looked up at the sky in the distance, with the candy staff in my hand, which did smell sweet, in my hand.

It was indeed the shape of a battleship, and it was in the form of a sailing ship with sails, like the kind of battleship at sea in England in the 18th century, but it was obviously much simpler than that kind of battleship, perhaps because it was a second-hand battleship sold to another country, or perhaps because it did not need to sail in the sea, and there were some things that could be omitted.

These battleships floated in the air, and the huge size made the nearby flying demonic beast cavalry look very thin, only these two battleships floated in the sky like a dark cloud, and the floating array at the bottom shone with blue light. Maybe it's a magical structure made of some kind of crystal, or maybe it's a device that catalyzes wind elements or creates anti-gravity, but anyway, it's a huge and powerful thing, but that's all I feel. Because I still vividly remember the flying dragon sleigh that flew over the base camp that day, and the wave of flames that almost swallowed the stars and moon, in front of those flying behemoths, these things were huge, but they were only targets that could be attacked.

I took a deep breath and pulled the essentials from the system space to summon Santa Claus, knowing that if I shredded this flag-like or scroll-like thing, what I saw that day would happen again. 8)
