The war is not over!

It can even be said that the war has just begun.

Although the 'Strike of the Country' destroyed half of the floating city, the inner city was undamaged, and the sturdy walls were exposed to Cervantes' sight through the broken gaps.

At this time, an army poured out of the gap, walking out of the floating city with not neat, but not messy steps, and two other identical armies were also marching towards the kingdom of Korot and the kingdom of Kurt, respectively.

The Outer City is not a particularly important place for this floating city, and Cervantes doesn't know why the Arcane Empire would create such an 'outer city' for his floating city, but it is nothing more than the source of 'raw materials' for magic experiments......

Some of the things the Arcanists did would sound creepy to him, which is why the whole world was hostile to the Arcane Empire more than eight hundred years ago.

The black dragon squinted his eyes, plucked his ears casually, and turned his head sideways to the adjutant and asked, "What did you just say?"

The adjutant's mouth was open, and he felt very helpless, but who made his superior a black dragon?

He pursed his lips, weighed his words, and sighed, "Your Excellency, are we going to hold the fortress now, or are we going to attack heavily and crush the Arcane Empire's army?"

Hearing this, Cervantes raised his hand and groped his chin, tilting his head to look at the army that was slowly approaching this side, "Do you think we can beat them?"

The adjutant was stunned, a little stunned, because it was hard for him to imagine that the always arrogant Grand Duke of the Black Dragon would say such a thing.

"Can't you beat it?" he turned his head to look at the cannon on the wall, and this ridiculous thought rose in his heart.

"Of course I can't beat it!" Cervantes hooked the corners of his mouth, trembling his cocked leg, and said in a casual tone, "If I can beat it, I will still use you to remind me? Anyway, I don't know anything, and if I were to be in command, the defeat would not be a matter of defeat for the time being, and the most important thing would be that it would make a lot of people. ”

The corners of the adjutant's mouth twitched slightly, frowned, and asked cautiously, "What about ...... What should we do?"

"Wait for Serra's news, she will definitely calculate that we can't beat us, and then send us reinforcements......"

As he spoke, Cervantes' cell phone rang, and when he looked down at the caller ID, he smirked, "Look, what did I just say? Hey, Sera...... What do you say?!"

A smile froze on the black dragon's face, and when he heard the shocking news, he slapped his thigh and was so frightened that he stood up from his chair.

The adjutant looked up at his superior, his superior's eyes rolling from side to side, his face full of astonishment and confusion, and then it became even more cloudy.

Cervantes hung up the call with a frown, and looked up straight ahead, where the mighty army was slowly approaching, getting closer and closer to the fortress he was in, and soon within range of the artillery.

"There won't be any support anytime soon!" Cervantes squeezed his phone and calmly spat out the news that couldn't have been worse.

"The remnants of the Omniscient Eye have set off a tide of beasts throughout the Black Forest, not only in the northern part of the Duchy, but also in the northern part of the Kurt Kingdom, on the elven side. ”

Cervantes's face was not very good-looking, because he did not expect that the people of the All-Seeing Eye had not been completely wiped out, and not only had they not been completely wiped out, but they had also maintained their loyalty to the Arcane Empire - they had been killed by the Arcane Empire!

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of 'foolish loyalty' this was, but they did maintain their loyalty to the Arcane Empire, and now they had set off a tide of beasts on the outskirts of the Black Forest to cooperate with the Arcane Empire's actions!

"Damn!" the black dragon spat viciously, took a few steps forward, and walked to the edge of the city wall, his hands supporting the battlements, his brain racing.

The concept of warfare in the Arcane Empire was still stuck hundreds of years ago, and the soldiers gathered in one phalanx after another, approaching the borders of the principality with shocking steps.

However, the All-Seeing Eye had clearly informed the Arcane Empire of the current situation in the world of Assatom, and the all-out attack on their principality was intended to test their principality's strength and combat patterns.

But now that the Arcane Empire has known that the Principality of Screaming Wind fights differently from the past, and unlike other nations, they still have several phalanxes now, either because they are blindly commanding, or they have absolute confidence that they can defend against artillery and wash the ground.

However, as far as he knew, the Arcanists were a bunch of people who believed in 'absolute sanity', and that wouldn't change much now more than eight hundred years later.

Even more than 800 years ago, they would have handed over the command of the battle to professional people, and as long as the commander could give them a convincing reason, even the Grand Arcanist could command.

This is the 'Arcane Empire', and if it weren't for the fact that there were too few generals willing to help them, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

And this time, they should have trained their own commanders, then, there is a high probability that this army sent by the Arcane Empire is not afraid of artillery washing at all!

"When they get closer, they will directly wash the ground with artillery!" The black dragon slammed his fist on the battlement and snorted coldly, "If there is no result, I will personally go down to test it!"

"Uh...... Yes, yes!" the adjutant was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded his head.

Soon, the order reached every part of the city walls, and Cervantes had already set his sights on the floating city.

He didn't know how many troops were left in that floating city, but if there was to be a war, they would certainly not be able to put all their forces into the battlefield at the beginning, and there must be at least one reserve army.

Moreover, now that the Arcane Empire is at war with three countries at the same time, no matter how weak the border forces of the Kolo Kingdom and the Kurt Kingdom are, it is impossible to be easily defeated.

Artillery, the roar began!

Just as Cervantes was deep in thought, the officers measured the distance of the Arcane Empire's troops from their fortress and gave the order to begin the shelling.

The whistling shells flew through the sky, striking the target impartially, but before the light and smoke of the explosion had cleared, the phalanx had already knocked out the dust and fog with a neat pace.

At the front of the queue stood a group of soldiers in heavy armor with heavy shields in their hands, their whole bodies wrapped in armor, the blue black steel engraved with runes, and the patterns that gathered magic emitted a glowing light.

When these hoplites were scattered throughout the phalanx, their magical armaments, once activated, would build a sturdy shield above them, and when these shields resonated with each other, they formed an impregnable barrier.

"Ah, sure enough......"

Cervantes was not surprised, he had already thought of a similar possibility from the beginning, but he did not expect that the armies of the Arcane Empire would be so fearless of artillery attacks because of these things.

Smiling helplessly, the black dragon turned his head and whispered, "Stop." ”

"Stop shelling!" the loud command reached the ears of each gunner, causing them to stop their movements in dismay.

They didn't think that the enemy's protection could be sharper than the artillery in their hands, and they were now ready to replace it with a 'magic bullet', let alone a magical barrier, which could even be chiseled through a wall reinforced by magic.

With one foot on the battlements, Cervantes turned back to his lieutenant and ordered: "I'll test their reality, first let the logistics prepare the magic bomb and jamming bomb, if I am entangled in the enemy's legend, leave me alone, just go straight to work!"

Without waiting for the adjutant's reply, he jumped off the walls and walked towards the Arcane Empire's army.
