Chapter 1274: Advent
The distance is folded into a non-existent line in the unreal, with the two ends of the line being where the Floating City is located and its destination.
It took dozens of minutes of preparation time, but it completed self-folding in one second, and the remaining three floating cities suddenly disappeared under the lens of the surveillance satellite at the same time, and they disappeared nowhere.
All matter and properties are condensed into one, turning into a compressed mass of 'information', which is swept across a long distance of space into the space-time singularity above a distant destination.
Watching the three floating cities disappear into the frame, Serena lifted one leg and leaned back in her chair.
The maid turned her head to the side and asked the black dragon who was sitting beside her, waiting for the battle, "Seth, where do you think they will appear?"
Cervantes didn't open his eyes, just thought for a moment, and said: "They will definitely not concentrate their forces on attacking a certain country, because with their strength, it is not difficult to capture a kingdom in the shortest possible time, such as our principality, we will definitely not be able to resist their attack for too long." However, if they do so, they give other countries and organizations time to gather their forces, and then their raid will be meaningless!
"So I think they're probably going to spread out their forces and deal with several countries and organizations at the same time, and Lorandal and our principality should be among their key targets. ”
As for why it was 'Lolandal' and not the capital of the Ogordon Empire - Cervantes did not seriously study the pattern of this world, but the memories between him and the maid were common, and he knew what the maid knew, and vice versa.
The plains to the east of Lolandal are the main transportation roads for this mega-city, and most of the city's daily necessities are transported into the city through this plain.
It is quite difficult to support a city of millions of people with a similar level of productivity in the Middle Ages, and although this 'million' also includes the population of the outlying villages and satellite towns, it is also quite difficult to support such a large city with such a backward level of productivity.
As a result, Lolandal is very prosperous in business, and without commerce as a pillar, the city would not have been able to grow at all.
Coupled with the fact that Lolandal is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are steep, and as long as they can hold the plains to the east, there is basically no need to worry about the future - but that was before, after the city grew to a population of more than 200,000 people, this advantage disappeared.
The Eastern Plains are especially important to Lolandal, the Holy City of the Church of Radiance, and if the Floating City of the Arcane Empire descends directly on the Eastern Plains, it will be able to involve the God of Radiance, because that god will never give up on the civilians!
If it had come directly to Moro, the emperor of the Ogordon Empire would have been ruthless, but the god of radiance was different, he was kind-hearted, and he could not compromise on such a matter that involved millions of lives.
"The first floating city appeared in the Mor Merchant Federation and directly attacked Gordon, so the next three will probably appear in the territory of Lolandal, the Kurkut Empire, and the junction between our principality and the Kingdom of Kolo and the Kingdom of Kurt. The black dragon's eyes were closed, his arms were folded, and he made a simple prediction in a flat tone.
This is not unfounded speculation, and based on the actual situation, these three locations are the most likely.
If the three floating cities of the Arcane Empire were to attack one place, even a large kingdom like the Kingdom of Kolo would easily fall, but this would also give the other countries a time to react.
In this way, the advantage of their 'raid' is gone, and they will certainly not do such a stupid thing.
The Arcane Empire once had dozens of floating cities, but now only four remained, and one of them was heavily damaged.
While this may not be all of their strength, if they want to attack a world and be the enemy of an entire world, it must be at least most of their strength, if not their full strength.
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the four floating cities that appear in the world of Assatom are just the 'vanguard army' of the Arcane Empire, but if that is the case, then the true strength of the Arcane Empire is inevitably too terrifying!
They waited silently, because they didn't know anything about the Arcane Empire, and now, more than eight hundred years later, how far the Arcane Empire had developed was a difficult question that people couldn't even think about.
In the past 800 years, they don't know what the Arcane Empire has done or where to recuperate, so how can they judge the true strength of the Arcane Empire?
In the time they were waiting, space-time singularities, which could not be observed by conventional means, had already appeared in the sky above three places, and these three places were exactly the three places predicted by Cervantes!
The junction of the Duchy of Howling Winds, the Kingdom of Kolo, and the Kingdom of Kurt, over the eastern plains of Lolandal, and near the capital of the Kurkut Empire, 'Norman'.
All the information about the three floating cities is wrapped in three space-time singularities, just waiting for the world to interpret them.
"Maid Chief, there are violent space-time fluctuations in the south of the principality!"
When the news reached Serena and Cervantes, they did not show any surprise.
Because in their prediction, there is a high probability that a floating city of the Arcane Empire will appear in the south of the principality, since they have guessed it from the beginning, what is there to be surprised?
At this time, the black dragon Huo Ran got up and moved his stiff body, "Sera, I'm leaving." ”
"Go early and come back early. The maid bowed slightly, smiled indifferently, and said softly.
Cervantes didn't answer, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and walked out of the room.
The meeting had long since ended, and after the maid had gone to the R&D area to set up tasks, a brief meeting was held, as they had always believed that the Arcane Empire would not let them go easily, and that they needed to deal with it accordingly.
Cervantes walked out of the conference room and walked towards the outside of the town hall with a steady step.
The team of maids, who had been waiting outside the conference room for a long time, quickly followed, and cooperated with each other to hang the cloak behind him, and put on a sword-shaped badge for him, and when they had done this, they bowed slightly and sent their master away.
Outside the gate of the town hall, the four high-ranking mages also waited for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their lord walk out of the town hall.
They glanced at each other, and immediately understood, and waved the staff in their hands at the same time.
The flow of magic flowed into their hands, and the model of the spell gradually formed under their weaving, and the tongue flicked and recited several magical languages, and the magic gradually took shape under the impetus of the language.
I saw that the four high-level mages faced each other, each holding one of their hands together, and then shaking it out of thin air, as if grasping the void.
Cervantes walked in front of them, and the four high-level mages tightened their arms at the same time, pulling the space, and a dense and chaotic milky white light gate opened in front of the black dragon.
He stepped into it without stopping, with a blank face, and when he stepped over thousands of miles, he looked up and saw a distorted sky.
"Your Lord!"
"Your Lord!"
"Your Excellency!"
The soldiers stationed on the city walls discovered Cervantes' presence and were immediately refreshed.
Returning a military salute to them, the black dragon turned back and grinned, "Soldiers, knights, prepare for war!"
"A floating city of the Arcane Empire is about to descend here, and it will be a difficult war, but I believe that those old antiques that should be abandoned by the times will never win against our principality - this is a war between civilizations, how can those old things resist the tide of the new era?"
As soon as the words fell, the heavens and the earth were suddenly clear, and all the information about 'Wizdem' was interpreted by the world, and the information such as mass, volume, and appearance returned, and was transformed into matter, appearing in the world of Assatom, and appearing in front of the eyes of Cervantes.
"Look, isn't this coming?" said Cervantes, smiling with his hands on his hips, his eyes glinting with unspeakable hatred.
