Chapter 232: The Queen's Tracks

Although there is no martial law in the whole of Yorktown, there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

Either city guards in black uniforms, or mercenaries dressed in various battle attire.

Occasionally, clerks dressed in the dark blue tuxedo-style uniform of the city hall were busy under the protection of the city guards.

A large amount of gas burned, and the consequence of the fire magic was that the sky over York City was covered by a thick cloud.

Faintly, lightning could be seen flying like silver snakes in the clouds.

At this point, Cordo Extraordinary came to the top of the mobile tower, on a small but sturdy lookout.

The main body of the lookout frame is made of ironwood, which is light in weight and has defensive power comparable to that of Cannia special steel.

A hexahedron that fits the shape of a hexagram, each side is a thick transparent crystal.

Compared with glass, the magic conductivity of transparent crystal is more than a grade higher than the former.

Adjust the three-layer lenses on the monocle goggles on your forehead to farsightedness mode, and everything on the battlefield outside the north wall is displayed under the extraordinary vision.

Among the followers of the Archduke of York, there were still some people of real ability, and it was commendable to put the battlefield outside the walls, rather than defend it according to the thick walls.

The entire long north wall can defend against countless enemies, but it's not enough to deal with the winged poison wasps.

At the farthest end of the battlefield are the burning wreckage of airships.

Each airship was littered with fragments of balloon spacecraft.

Extraordinary probably counted, and each airship was escorted by about twenty spacecraft at that time.

"No wonder, the few remaining battle airships in the city are huddled at the junction of the inner and outer cities. ”

"Boom"

With a loud bang, a moving tower two hundred meters away from the city wall exploded violently, blasting the poisonous wasps wrapped around the tower into ashes.

Outside the north gate of the outer city alone, more than a dozen mobile towers are fighting their own battles, each attracting a huge colony of poisonous bees.

Dozens of slightly moving arrow towers exploded from the inside from time to time.

Extraordinary knows that although these war fortresses have been transformed, the small body of the poison bee is their natural advantage.

If the guards in the tower are not defeated, they will open all the gas canisters and die with the swarm.

"My lord, although these poisonous bees can divide their troops into several ways, but their IQ is limited, most of the bee colonies are just the gates where the besiegers gather, if they find a city wall as a breakthrough at random, it is estimated that York City has already been breached from the air!"

"If there are people on the street, the bee swarm will swarm them. But civilians hiding in their homes are safe and sound as long as they are not exposed to the sight of poisonous bees. Poison bees are not interested in masonry buildings!"

A city guard who was in charge of explaining the situation on the battlefield to the extraordinary looked at the raging fire on the battlefield and spoke in a very calm tone.

I guess there is a lot of anger under the calm surface.

Now, if he were given a spaceship full of gas canisters, Extraordinary was confident that he would not hesitate to rush towards the swarm of bees.

"Where do you think the queen bee will be?"

Without a clue, Extraordinary asked the lookout beside him seemingly casually.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he stopped talking.

"Don't be pressured, the military ministers and knights of the Duke's Palace all think that the queen bee is in the banyan forest in the northwest, you can do what you think, of course, don't be nervous!"

Extremely encouraged, he looked at this earl of his own age, and his heart was hot, and he opened his mouth to come.

"Lord Count, do you see a tower directly in front of us?"

With the reminder of the lookout, sure enough, a tower with thick smoke but no open flame was abruptly pestle due north.

"My lord, the moving tower is different from the stone-walled arrow tower conjured up by the earth mage under the city walls, except for the steam engine that powers it, everything else is made of wood. ”

"The weakness of the habits of this low-level magical beast, the poison bee, our boss has posted several pictures on each floor of this tower. ”

"Poison bees, on the other hand, generally don't choose food other than meat, unless they're in the middle of a fight!"

"To replenish their strength, they can eat everything they see!"

The lookout hand talks eloquently, and the extraordinary is also full of clarity.

The vast majority of demonic beasts are afraid of fire, not to mention this kind of poisonous bee that can't be stilled if it's a little hot.

Eyes swept over the battlefield, and there was indeed no shadow of a poisonous bee around the fragments of the airship that were still burning.

There is another point that has only been noticed by the extraordinary, the whole battlefield is too clean.

As far as the eye could see, there was not a single corpse in sight.

At first, Extraordinary thought that the battle was too fierce, and most of the city guards set fire to the towers, arrows, towers, and bee swarms.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Looking up at the sky, he looked at the distribution of the bee colony around him.

Sure enough, a huge swarm of bees, centered on the wolf-smoke tower, attacked York City in a semi-circular attacking posture.

Extraordinary turned around, hugged Wangshou's shoulders with both hands, and slapped it twice.

"Very good! You are the greatest contributor to this war!"

Before he had time to ask the name of the lookout, he jumped off the round hole in the center of the lookout and went straight down to the top floor.

Coming to the top hall where the Yorktown bigwigs gathered, Extraordinary gave everyone the findings of the lookout and his own opinions.

"Hehe, that's just a lookout, maybe he hasn't even graduated from public school, how can he believe it?"

An old earl objected.

"Yes, Count Cordo is still too young, if you rely on guessing to eliminate the queen bee, it is estimated that the queen bee has died more than a dozen times!"

"Count Cordo, be careful! This is at stake for the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city!"

A follower with a big ear and a round waist and a gorgeous duke said.

The four military ministers were silent, bowing their heads to ponder the reasonableness of the extraordinary opinion.

The Grand Duke of York sat calmly in a high-backed chair, crossed his hands, dragged his chin, and watched as the crowd argued loudly.

As if a decision had been made, the Grand Duke of York tapped lightly on the arm of his chair, and the butler next to him stepped forward and shouted "Silence".

It was as if the hall of the vendor market was silent in an instant, and even the "humming" sound outside the tower was a little weaker.

"Extraordinary, according to your judgment, do you have a solution?"

In the face of the Grand Duke's questioning, Extraordinary revealed his plan and inventory.

"Grand Duke, everyone, you must all think that the empty space is the safest place that the queen bee thinks!"

"On the contrary, as long as the queen bee is high in the sky, it is impossible for her huge body not to be detected by the airship and the empty space on the spaceship. ”

"Even a glance from afar can send back the signal that the queen bee has been found. ”

"But after a night of fighting, did a single ship send a signal? ”

"Then there is a basis for the queen bee hiding in the tower due north!"

......

He spoke for nearly a quarter of an hour, and with the whispered discussion at the beginning, by the end of the speech, everyone was speechless.

Even the Grand Duke of York and several bigwigs who were optimistic about the extraordinary were hesitant.

A few who oppose the extraordinary even look at the extraordinary as if they were looking at a dead person.
