Chapter 39: The Visitor Who Oppresses Sentient Beings (II)

On the rooftop balcony of the Count Vermar's mansion in Ciudad Itarica, the elderly head maid, Kemé, as usual, reclined in a half-worn rocking chair, enjoying a short afternoon break and basking in the winter sun.

She has lived in Itarica for more than twenty years since her native city-state of Rosa was destroyed by the Imperial Army thirty years ago, serving three generations of counts. She was too familiar with every plant and tree in the city to be familiar with it, so she was no longer in the mood to see any scenery.

The long years of wind and frost and years of comfortable life have long smoothed out all her passions and edges, and for the head maid of Kemei, there is almost nothing to worry about except to serve her master, and there is no major matter to worry about. Even the battle for the custody of the heirs that broke out not long ago, although it once caused panic among the people in the mansion, but in the end, it passed without any danger, and basically did not cause any changes.

Although the female knights of the Knights of the Rose stationed in the city often talk worriedly about the civil war that broke out in the empire on the other side of the Romanian mountains, but for the chief maid of Keme, it all seems to be a very distant thing from him On the turbulent continent of Fermat, all kinds of wars, coups and conspiracies almost never stop for a moment, but people's lives still have to go on?

In addition to repaying the favor of the previous two counts and serving the new heir, the young Earl Miu, she only did every day to spend her days as a gangster, and to bask in the sun in her spare time, and to wait for the days to pass in the midst of greetings and small talk with other servants...... She almost thought that the rest of her life was over, at least until she woke up from this day's nap, and the head maid of Kemeh thought so.

However, when she opened her eyes from the afternoon nap that day, she happened to see some strange little black spots in the eastern sky, and if it was an ordinary person, she probably wouldn't have noticed the above anomalies at all, or thought of them as migratory birds...... What's more, in general, in a peaceful city, there are very few people who will be idle for a long time and look at the sky in a daze.

However, as a first-hand witness of the attack and defense of Rosa City thirty years ago, the "dead leftovers" who had escaped from the fire oil bombs and javelins thrown by the Imperial Pterodactyl Knight many times, the head maid Kai Mei was keenly aware that these black spots appearing on the edge of the sky were obviously a little strange.

It's a pity that now she is old after all, and her eyes are somewhat dizzy, no matter how wide she opens her eyes, she can't tell what these black spots are for a while. So, the head maid Kai Mei immediately got up and hurried downstairs, wandering around the mansion, and finally found a Harpy maid known for her keen eye, and then took her up to the roof terrace again in an attempt to find out.

However, after such a delay in coming and going, before the head maid Kai Mei returned to her original place, the subhuman refugee camp outside the city wall had already taken the lead in making noise Compared with the Earl's Mansion in the city, there were obviously more sharp-eyed winged people and harpy banshees in the refugee camp, and some of them still maintained the habit of nesting in the trees, so they were the first to notice the abnormality in the sky, and unsurprisingly became agitated.

It was a large group of bizarre flying objects, which seemed to move slowly from a distance, but in the eyes of flying races such as the Winged People and Harpys, they were not much different from their normal flying speed. The three largest of the three flying objects looked a bit like ships at first glance, but they were very different from the appearance of the ships that the indigenous people of Farmatt had in mind, and they were even larger than small hills, with a metallic sheen. The rest of the smaller flying objects are even more bizarre, and it is really hard to describe what they look like, in short, people can't help but panic when they look at them......

At the same time, several knights on duty who were standing guard on the walls of Itarican naturally also saw strange figures in the eastern sky. Although they certainly don't know what this is based on their experience, since it is uninvited, I am afraid that it is probably not a good thing, and after a short discussion, they immediately made an instinctive reaction as soldiers: "...... Enemy attack! Trumpet! Close the gates! ”

With the whining sound of military trumpets, the wave of panic soon began to spread in the city as well. First the knights and militia on the city walls, then the subhuman refugees who tried to pour into the city gates, and then the citizens living in Itarica, all heard that a group of strange things were flying towards Itarica in the sky. So they all walked out of the house and looked up at the monsters in the air that were getting closer and closer to them.

Then, in the face of the air fleet led by Comrade Wang Qiu, the captain of the Chengguan Brigade, they were all shocked by the concept of the ordinary indigenous people of the Falmatt continent, and the things that could fly in the sky were nothing more than insects, birds, bats, flying dragons, and a small number of sub-human races that could fly short distances. But the flying object that appeared above their heads at this moment was obviously not any kind of creature, but a man-made thing. Moreover, its size is so huge that even the legendary ancient flame dragon may not be able to compare...... It's really terrifying.

What are these things in the sky? What exactly do we do now?

The city's de facto supreme defender, hearing the noise, rushed to the city walls to the chief instructor of the Knights of the Rose, Princess Pinna's swordsman, Gray. Aruud, looking up at these things in the air that were completely beyond the limits of his imagination, couldn't help but be completely stunned, and his mind was left with a blank space.

And beside him, many soldiers had already knelt down tremblingly, and couldn't stop worshiping the hodgepodge of air fleets above their heads.

It may seem a bit humiliating, but it's a natural instinct.

You must know that since ancient times, human beings have often been accustomed to worshiping their own fears, regarding them as the power of the gods, and even personifying the nomads on the steppe worshipping the wolf god, the farming peoples of the great river basin believe in the myth of the Great Flood, the maritime peoples are in awe of the storm, and the polar peoples regard ice and snow as the most powerful force in heaven and earth...... This is the origin of all myths on Earth, and it is similar to the Otherworld.

Faced with an air fleet that oppresses sentient beings and is unable to resist, these shallow-informed natives can only be regarded as miracles of the gods......

Even the old soldier Gray who has not been intimidated for the time being. Aruud, too, was at a loss for a while and helpless, it was impossible to defend the city, no matter how strong the walls were, they could not resist the enemy from the air; There was no way to fight back, and there was no crossbow in the city that could hit that high, nor a pterosaur knight in the air...... What's more, looking at the huge size of these monsters in the sky, Gray, who is a veteran of the battlefield, can know that even if the Pterodactyl Knight is allowed to attack, it is estimated that there will be no return and no life. So, after thinking about it for a while, Gray. Aruud soon discovers, sadly, that all he can do now seems to be to pray to the gods.

“…… Arriving over the city of Itarica...... Well, we seem to have caused a commotion? ”

On the flagship of the Air Fleet, the Xiangrui, a crew member looked down with a telescope and muttered, "...... In the eyes of the natives, we are probably similar to cosmic monsters, right? But luckily, at least I didn't see a fool throwing javelins or arrows into the sky......"

“…… Now that we are more than a thousand meters above the ground, where can any javelin or bow and arrow be able to shoot it? ”

Wang Qiu complained casually, relying on the eagle-like sharp eyesight given to him by the [Superman Suit], even if he didn't use binoculars, he could see through the porthole a group of men and women on the ground who were worshipping and worshipping, as well as more people with complex expressions of horror, hesitation, and confusion on their faces.

Obviously, the visual effects of the air fleet are not bad, and they scare the natives of Itarica enough......

However, for Wang Qiu, this level of fear is far from enough, at least not enough to completely destroy the psychological defenses of the indigenous ruling class.

So, after snapping his fingers, as the supreme commander of the operation, he issued a new order.

“…… Order all the loudspeaker-equipped aircraft in the fleet! Follow the previous notification and play the music to me!! ”

The next moment, the people on the ground who were sincerely frightened were shocked by the high-decibel "Soviet March" and almost jumped......
