The rumbling sound kept coming, but Charles II walked forward with a numb expression in the sound of artillery fire. In front of him, there were many soldiers running in a panic on the road covered with gravel and blood. The wounded in a panic and some of them even lost their arms, but they were still gritting their teeth and running towards the city gate to escape the hellish shelling - many people wanted to flee the city, because if they stayed here, no one knew if the artillery fire would fall on their heads...

"Your Majesty!"

With an exclamation, a blue magic shield appeared around Charles II's body, and then the robed Magister, armed with a dark red wand, fell to the side. After returning from the "Magic Exchange Meeting", Crohn, Scarlett, Strange and others all went to the Dragon Tower to learn and communicate with the dragons, but they were also captured by Quiao as a "strong man" and went to the front line to assist in the battle after the outbreak of war.

Several other Magisters were working hard to help with logistics, and Crohn was tasked with fending off a possible enemy attack at the rear of the city - after all, when the enemy was not moving, most of the time there was to consider whether there would be any movement in other directions, and things like digging tunnels and attacking the walls at night were the norm for siege warfare.

As a result, Krohn escaped the first round of shelling.

When he realized the seriousness of the problem, he immediately flew to help protect Charles II, only to be nearly hit by a second round of shelling. If it weren't for luck, Crohn's ice shield would be no different from a fragile plank in the face of a terrifying kinetic hedron cannonball.

At this time, he finally found the embarrassed Charles II, and Crohn immediately came over to cast a spell to protect the monarch, but he found that the once high-spirited monarch was now dead, and when he looked at him, his eyes were dull and abnormal: "Crohn?

He didn't say any orders, just kept walking. Crohn knew that this was not the solution, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will escort you back to the imperial city now!

"Looking for whom?"

Charles II pointed to the northern city wall, which had been blown down dozens of meters: "How many people are there who can continue to fight for me?"

Then he patted Crohn on the shoulder: "Leave me alone, how many people can be saved by your spell, go over there and help them first." ”

"Your Majesty..."

Krohn heard a deep despair in his words, but should he listen to the emperor at this time? Listen, Charles II may be killed in the next second, if he doesn't listen, does it count as disobeying the monarch's order?

"Run!"

There was a sudden commotion behind them, and the two turned around to find that the west gate not far away had been opened by the soldiers guarding the city. Countless people fled like crazy when they saw the gate open—in this case, people instinctively thought that the outside of the city was safer than the inside, because there were no enemies outside, and staying in the city could be blown to pieces at any moment.

The panic of defending the city in the era of cold weapons came from the city walls being broken and the enemies pouring into the city. At this time, everyone is hiding in the city that they think is safe, only to find that they are still at risk of being blown up...

Even more terrifying, no one knows where the next shell will fall. In the absence of the enemy, this unknown panic is far more devastating than the simple news of "the enemy army has entered the city" - after the city gate was opened, because there were too many people pouring out, many people in the front row were trampled under their feet on the spot, and they were trampled to death by the crowd of people carrying them in the rear before they could not even climb up...

Looking at this chaos, Charles II was even more desperate, and he waved his hand: "Go and save people, leave me alone." ”

Just as Magister Kron hesitated, a circle of flames suddenly descended on him, and he was startled, only to see that it was a large shield condensed by the elements. The violent fluctuation of magic power made him turn around, and Lord Quiao stood beside Charles II with a gloomy face, and said, "Follow me." ”

The lord, who had disappeared before, had just cast a spell to protect the nobles who hadn't been killed yet - he knew that he had to work hard to keep them alive now so that he could continue to use them as puppets in the future. If the core layer is wiped out by Everta's shelling, there is no point in leaving Charles II as a "bare-pole commander".

But he didn't expect that the shelling of Ivta's position would be round after round, and if it wasn't for his quick movements, Charles II would have almost been killed on the spot.

The anger in Queio's heart was building up in the fire, but he was still able to keep himself sane as much as possible at the moment. Raising his hand and wrapping his shield around Charles II, he floated straight into the air and led the latter to the highest bell tower in the center of the city. And Crohn, who was about to stop talking, was completely ignored by him.

The latter looked at the two distant backs and sighed silently. The whistling of the cannonballs hit again, and his face did not change, and he propped up his shield and flew forward - at this time, he had to choose to continue with the orders of Charles II... Use spells to heal as many wounded as possible.

Charles II, who arrived at the bell tower, was surprised to find many ragged, dusty but surviving nobles in front of him.

"Stay in there. ”

Quiao left this sentence, turned around and flew in the other direction, Charles II looked at the embarrassed nobles in front of him, most of them were in the year of fighting, and several of them were in good spirits before going into battle, but at this time everyone was sitting on the ground in a languid manner, and many of the wounded were gritting their teeth and enduring the pain, seeing Charles II coming, they did not immediately salute or shout slogans as before, but turned their eyes to the monarch, waiting for him to say something.

But where is Charles II in the mood to inspire these nobles at this moment?

Before the enemy could be seen, a third of the city was blown up, and most of the assembled army was killed or wounded. Now there are even people who open the gates and flee... But anyone with a bit of military skill understands that this battle has been lost!

Charles II stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally said nothing, slowly walked to the wall, and sat down on the ground without an image.

At this time, it doesn't matter if the dragons can't make a move, because Charles II has lost the foundation of his rule - who will continue to heed the call of a commander without military power?

His behavior made the other nobles bow their heads, and before anyone could express anything, the roar of the next round of shelling was connected all around, and the top of the bell tower was directly hit by a cannonball, and the impact of the explosion collapsed the entire bell tower in half of the way, this scene shocked everyone, but Charles II sat there and did not hide at all, he raised his head, as if to meet his own end...

But then the stones were blocked out by an enchantment.

Quiao let them stay here, naturally because they released a strong enough barrier in advance, even if the bell tower was bombed into ruins, these nobles were still alive and well within the barrier. But for them, the scene around them made them even more heartbroken: they looked around, the buildings of the central inner city, the city walls, and even the originally smooth streets were almost destroyed, and after the debris of the buildings fell to the ground, they could even see many soldiers who had been running away, nervously broken under the heavy shelling, kneeling there covering their faces and wailing.

In this kind of war, who can say that there is still a possibility of a reversal?

And Quive, who was standing in the ruins, was personally facing the violent explosion and impact at this moment. His shield flashed orange, keeping all damage out. In fact, he only needs to float more than ten meters into the air to basically avoid these injuries, but standing here at the hard top, Quiao is more like using this to accumulate the anger in his heart to find a reason to make a decision...

Thinking that no other dragons have appeared in this war until now, Quiao can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart: when he made a contract with those lords with the help of the "Time and Space Rift", he didn't consider letting them participate in this kind of war at all, just saying that it was enough to let other dragons support the royal family's "Dragon Tower" professor project. Therefore, the Red Dragon Clan at this time may have become a joke in the eyes of other Dragon Clans!

Quiao had to admit that Evetta's combat power was completely beyond his imagination: with such a cannon strike in front of him, three more royal families would also end up in the same fate.

But does that mean you have to give up?

In fact, Quiao has no way out - giving up at the moment, it doesn't matter if the royal family is finished, but where is the face of the Red Dragon Clan?

What made Quiao feel even more palpitations was the strength of these humans in front of him... In the concept of the dragons, the war of humans is the battle of ants, and no matter how many people there are, they will never threaten the dragons.

But the constant impact on the shield made Quiao change this perception: if it was a young dragon standing here, it would not end much better than the broken corpses next to him. And even if a dragon like Iskar is young, if he is not protected in advance in such a position, he may still die under the blow of the hedron cannonball!

In other words, humans have the ability to strike and threaten the dragons...

This is like the Count of Rice who rebelled in the cabinet of Evta, who did not lack food or clothing, but tried his best to sabotage Evta's road to unification, in order to defend the class interests of his original "big lord".

And Quiao is now aware of such a crisis.

The sound of artillery fire stopped, and he gritted his teeth and was about to leave, but the roar of propellers was heard in the air. After returning with a heavy load, the "Albatross" flew directly over the city of Enrique at this time - because of the large target, it bombed at an altitude of 3,000 meters this time.

Quiao watched in a daze as the plane dropped the bomb, and he squinted his eyes as he watched as the huge bomb landed not far in front of him...

"Boom!"

The impact of the hedron cannon shattered the first layer of shield outside Quio's body on the spot, and although the passively activated "Wall of the Sun" blocked the subsequent impact, the dragon lord still took two steps back because of the terrifying shock...

After the smoke and fog dispersed, a huge crater more than three meters deep was left on the ground, and within twenty meters of radiating outward, there were still no standing buildings, only the place where Quiao stood was slightly intact because of the "Wall of the Burning Sun", and the rest of the area was only burned with flames and charred black after the high temperature.

To be honest, Quiao was really scared this time.
