"Or we could concentrate our arrows on the Marksman, targeting Gogomo. As for the other little devils, it is up to the warriors to do the hard topping. At this time, Hartti, who had not spoken, said.

"It's okay for a short time, but I'm afraid it won't last long. If the warriors are not provided with strong cover from the turrets, the casualties will rise quickly. Hamilton shook his head and glanced at the other human soldiers on the wall, most of them panting and resting on the battlements, and the wounded abounded.

"Yes, our forces are limited, and we really can't withstand attrition."

Everyone understands that Hamilton is telling the truth, but the arrows are also "beyond their means", and the two are entangled, which can be called incomprehensible.

"Lord Baron, is there any news of the messenger we sent to Windsor Castle for help?"

Unable to conceive, Lord Rosser could only hope for the support of Viscount Salk. According to the rules of the aristocracy of Erathia, as one of the actual "leaders" of Kent, Viscount Salk was obliged to provide protection to the other nobles in the county during the war.

"Unfortunately, no messages have been sent back."

Baron Ensberg shook his head, his expression indifferent, as if he had expected such an outcome.

"The problem is that we have no information about the outside world right now, whether it's about Kent, or Standwell or the rest of the kingdom. If this situation continues, I fear that Fort Arte will become a real lonely city. ”

Compared to Baron Ensberg's "calmness", Lord Rosser seems to be more anxious and dignified. As a veteran. He is very aware of the iron law of "not keeping a lonely city". Even if Fort Arte were twice as majestic, if the rest of Kent County were to be taken over by the Demon Legions, it would only be a matter of time before Fort Arte fell. Therefore, the most important problem at the moment is that we must do our best to understand the war situation in the county and even the whole kingdom, and if it is really impossible to do anything, we must also break through and move closer to the royal capital before the absolute encirclement of the demons is formed.

However, due to the lack of effective means of communication and the absence of flying combat units such as air cavalry, it is not easy for Fort Arte to reach outward. Baron Ensberg also sent scouts on several occasions. Attempt to cross the demonic blockade to make contact with the outside world. But it is a pity that none of the people who went out have come back alive.

"Wait, all we can do now is patience and perseverance." It is unimaginable that the baron can only encourage others in this way, and also encourage himself.

"Yes... Hold on—" The old lord nodded as well.

"Look. What is that!? Something is flying in here from the southeast! ”

Just as the baron and the lord were talking and heading towards the castle. Suddenly, there was an exclamation in my ears. Both stopped at the same time. Turning around, he looked in the direction of the attendant's finger. Sure enough, in the distant sky, a vague cloud-like white shadow was flying straight in the direction of Fort Arte in the sunlight.

"Is it a demon!?"

Baron Ensberg's heart tightened instantly. Presently. The pressure on the defense of Fort Yat was already great. If other demons with flying abilities join the battle, I'm afraid that the future battle will be quite dangerous.

"Probably not." Lord Rosser's eyes were half-squinted, and he shook his head as if he was sure and hesitated: "There are only two kinds of flying units of demons: the Fire Sultan and the Great Demon, although I have not seen them with my own eyes, but they are certainly not like this. ”

"Archer prepare!"

Hamilton, as the commander of the force, gave the order as soon as possible. However, seeing that the white suspicious object was flying at an altitude of several hundred meters, it was impossible for a human archer to shoot an arrow to such a height unless the opponent descended.

"My lord, please stay away for now." Hamilton then immediately invited the Baron off the city, while he waited with Lord Rosser, Hart and others.

After about a few minutes, the "white cloud" approached, and everyone in the fort finally saw what was coming.

"That's... That... That's a ship...? ”

Looking at the full shape of the ship's outer cabin, most of the Elasia natives were "entangled". They would never have dreamed that there would be a "ship" sailing in the sky.

"What's that?"

Hart watched vigilantly at the airships that were getting closer and closer, and from the intuition of a mid-level warrior, he could already vaguely feel a strange aura of powerhouse wafting from the air, and there were many of them.

"That's an airship! The goblin airship of Bracada! ”

At some point, Baron Ensberg, who had left, returned to the city wall, looking up at the "unexpected visitor" in the sky, with a rare look of excitement on his face.

"Bracada? Then say..."The old lord on the side immediately reacted.

"It's supposed to be reinforcements." The baron nodded.

"Reinforcements from Bracada?!"

Hearing this, Hamilton, Hart and others were also in good spirits. They had been waiting for reinforcements from Viscount Salk for a long time, but they didn't expect to be waiting for military aid from the land of the Far South Mage.

"The airship is such a good thing, it is very maneuverable, it can pass through the enemy blockade and transfer troops across regions. Otherwise, we really have to walk, and I'm afraid I don't know when we'll be in Kent. ”

Seeing such an "advanced" means of transport, Lord Rosser also sighed.

"Strangely, even if Bracada were to send troops to support our country under the oath of the Holy Alliance, then their first aid would be Fort Fort on the southeastern border. It was closer to the Iorfo Volcanic Zone, where the spatial rift was located, and it must be the main attack direction of the Demon Legion. In addition, Fort Fort is relatively close to the northern border of Bracada, so the logistical pressure of nearby support will be much less. ”

But soon, Hamilton sensed something strange, half analytical, half guessing.

"So..."

The Baron was not as sensitive to military warfare as professionals such as Hamilton, but when he heard him remind him of this, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"It should be that he is back, you go and prepare to clear the open space above the square so that the airship can land." Putting away the surprise in his eyes, the baron turned to Hamilton and said.

"He...? Yes, my lord! ”

Lionheart was also very shrewd, but he understood what the baron meant for a moment, and immediately sent his deputy to the small square to the east of Fort Arte to clear the ground.

"Baron?"

Lord Rosser, who was on the side, didn't understand the conversation between the two and couldn't help asking.

"If I'm right, it's my eldest son who has come back." Baron Ensberg sighed meaninglessly.

"You mean Moriarty!?"

The name hadn't been seen in Kent's aristocracy for several years, and many had forgotten about the former first-in-line heir to the Ensberg family. However, in the "Thieves' Rebellion" that year, the old lord and Moriarty also fought side by side, and then participated in the "party" of the Ensberg family's transfer of inheritance, so now it reacts immediately when it is mentioned.

"It should be, otherwise I can't think of any Bracada reinforcements who would have crossed thousands of miles to get to Kent." At this time, the baron put away the different colors on his face and returned to his usual calmness.

And as he spoke, the Great Cloud was already quite close to the airspace above Fort Art. The demons outside the castle also looked at the sudden arrival of the airship, looking confused, manic, or provocative. On the other hand, cheers rang out inside the castle. By this time, many people had clearly seen the newly painted "Earth" badge on the huge airbag of the Great Cloud, and this pattern was all too familiar to the Ensberg family caravan system, which had undertaken a lot of "import agency business" from the alchemy studio.

"White, Sue Tony, get ready to land. The other side has cleared the field, watch out for possible overhead crosswinds when descending. The terrain inside the castle is narrow, so pay attention to safety. ”

On the deck, looking at Fort Arte, which was already in front of him, Moriarty felt both familiar and unfamiliar. The original town had long since been replaced by a new castle, and it was no longer what it remembered.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

White also looked at Fort Arte below, but was amazed by its extraordinary shape, especially the unique dual active defense system of iron thorns and demonic plants, which made him even more amazed.

"Your Excellency, do you want to send someone down to stabilize the landing ground first?"

At this time, Clausewitz, out of professional habits, made a statement to his chief officer.

“… Send the 'gunfire' down first, followed by the sword and shield company, and the others stay on the airship for the time being. ”

Moriarty thought for a moment and ordered. Not only is this a responsibility for the safety of their own team in case of an unpredictable attack when they rush off the boat, but it also leaves the fighters of the non-human race last to avoid misunderstandings during the first meeting.

"Yes." The old werewolf then turned around and gave orders.

Ten minutes later, the huge hull of the Great Cloud finally hovered one meter above the ground of the small square of Fort Arte. At the edge of the square, Baron Ensberg, escorted by a team of Euphorbia and Hamilton, was already waiting.

"Click!"

The porthole on one side dropped gently, and the gunfire team led by Gustav stepped off the airship first, and then divided into two groups to defend the ends of the Great Cloud. Then, the ironclad infantry of the Sword and Shield Company followed in two columns, laying a larger defensive ring around the airship.

"Your Excellency, Moriarty is truly extraordinary. Looking at this military formation and looking at these soldiers, it is obvious that they are elite soldiers who have been tempered on the battlefield. I heard that Bracada was still fighting a civil war not long ago, and I think he was also on the battlefield. ”

Lord Rosser stood beside the baron, admiring the foreign sergeant in front of him. As a veteran mid-rank, he could naturally see that the ironclad soldiers of the Sword and Shield Company were at least second-level soldiers, and the gunfire squad was full of third- and fourth-level soldiers. With such strength, it is a real elite wherever it is placed. Even if there are many nobles' private armies gathered in Atabao at this moment, the real elite soldiers that have been put together are only of such quality.

It can be said that Moriarty has not yet appeared, but he has already taken the lead. (To be continued......)
