Disasters do not always come with warnings, especially man-made disasters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, a few seconds ago, the Iron Forge, which was the economic and trade hub between the northern part of the empire and the Pin Mountains, was still immersed in the calm of prosperity, and a few seconds later, almost all creatures with eyes witnessed the ignition of this magnificent fireworks. Without any defense, without any obstacles, the goblin airship turned into a giant fireball and rushed into the Tower of Fortune in the middle of Ironforge. In the flicker that represented the failure of the Eternal Magic Array, this ancient landmark that had stood for nearly three hundred years, the pride of all the goblins of Ironforge Castle, exploded into a violently expanding flame.

The creatures on the streets had no shortage of shock on their faces, but more of them were dazed.

Goblins are a race that likes to explode, maybe it's a show that surprises people?

This is the first thought on the minds of many.

But when the flames on the Tower of Fortune were enough to obscure the tower, and the second airship collided with the Craftsman's Tower in the distant South City, few would think it was just a malicious joke. The two flames, one large and one small, were as fierce as the smile of death, and even in the bright daytime, they still bloomed vigorously and dazzlingly.

Su Wen's breathing was a little difficult, and he felt as if he had witnessed a scene that would go down in history.

It was only then that a deafening roar of an explosion rang out in his ears. Time seemed to slow down in the light of the firelight of the violent explosion, and the originally bustling streets suddenly became eerily silent, and everyone looked up at the two towers that were in a violent explosion, one far away and one near, and the third tower that was about to meet the impact of the airship, the Tower of Machinery, which was the farthest away from Su Wen's location.

"Hum—"

Perhaps it was because he had finally had enough time to react, and the mechanical tower, which was fortunate enough to be the last target, erupted with a violent explosion, and even Su Wen could feel a noticeable tremor in the air from several kilometers away. In the next second, a bright elemental shield was generated on the five-hundred-meter-high tower, but this shield was obviously not enough to block the momentum of the ship-sized airship, it was knocked through before the condensation was completed, and there was no more obstacle between the burning airship and the tower, and it was about to cause a third explosion.

And at this moment, a pillar of light that was thicker than the road under Su Wen's feet burst out from the tower, almost completely covering the entire airship. The pillar of light flickered and dissipated after two seconds, leaving a visible hole in the tower, and the airship's original location, less than twenty meters from the tower, had been replaced by a violent explosion......

The atmosphere in the streets is still frozen, and people seem to be dizzying, with three towers in three different directions, and the scene on each tower is so eye-catching.

It wasn't until the close proximity to the tower that the fine pieces of sand and coke thrown by the aftermath of the explosion fell to the ground like rain, and the crowd exploded like hot oil poured with water. Horses neighed and dodged, vehicles collided, green-skinned goblin orcs, yellow-white-skinned humans, and many more tall and short aliens, colliding and crowding towards safety. Screams rang out everywhere, and from time to time someone fell down with a cry of pain, and at this moment, many creatures, whether high or low, all turned into ants on a hot pot and rushed in a hurry.

The Tower of Fortune is 500 meters high, and the height of the collision point is more than 300 meters, and under the acceleration of this height, even an inconspicuous building fragment is enough to smash people's heads and bleed.

Fortunately, it was not too close to the tower here, and the throwing of falling objects quickly stopped, leaving only the slowly falling dust, but Su Wen still hurriedly hid in the carriage to ensure his safety. He was shocked in his heart, not because of the explosion of the Goblin Tower, but because the explosion itself had succeeded so unhindered?

You must know that in his judgment, there will be a plurality of human mage masters in the Iron Furnace Castle, otherwise here so close to the Pan Yin Mountains, once there is any emergency, the Duolun Empire, which is far away, will not be able to deal with it effectively. And no matter how incompetent the contemporary king is, he will not be unaware of this problem......

In other words, if Su Wen's judgment was not wrong, this incident of the airship hitting the tower might not be successful at all. He had seen the strength of the Magister several times with his own eyes, and the almost instantaneous high-level magic, the powerful power that could break through thousands of troops and horses alone, if it was used to resist the impact and explosion of the airship, it was definitely not impossible to do.

However, reality slapped Su Wen in the face.

There was no Magus to stop it, and even the rapidly condensing elemental shield and the pillar of light that reached the sky in the Machine Tower not long ago were probably not from a Magister-level mage. Because after that, explosions with extremely high initial velocity still poured into the tower, and the huge shock wave shattered all the glass curtain walls, and the tower was still shrouded in flames and smoke until now.

After all, all this has not been effectively stopped......

In fact, it was not completely devoid of magicians here, and with the help of the cover of the carriage, Su Wen soon saw that on the nearest tower of wealth, several water dragons were spreading around. But they were undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to the incomparably violent explosions, like droplets poured into the sea, and soon they were beaten away by the heat wave after wave.

Seeing that the spilled debris in the sky had completely disappeared, Su Wen got out of the carriage and pumped the frightened horses, making them barely move. The traffic on the street was already chaotic, but fortunately, most of the pedestrians were hidden, and a few injured unlucky people were also helped away, leaving only specks of blood on the ground, as well as large clouds of dust and blackened debris, which did not affect the passage too much.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, which made every nerve in Su Wen tense. The shrill sirens were sounded, making the already tense air even more oppressive.

The carriage drove through two streets in the confusion, and finally came to the hotel where it had stayed the night. Barely touched by the explosion, almost all the people poured into the streets, looking up at the Tower of Fortune in discuss, and most of the windows of the houses on both sides of the road were open, and they were crowded with people watching, frightened, worried, and stunned.

Su Wen locked the carriage, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and entered the hotel.

Opening the door, Suvan found Laetitia aiming in her direction with Glock 18. But in the next second, she dropped the pistol as if relieved, and flew in front of him.

"Master, shall we run?"

"Let's see, it's far away, so it should be safe. ”

As he spoke, Su Wen came to the window and looked up, only to see that the Tower of Wealth, which occupied almost half of the field of vision, had stopped exploding at this time, but it was still burning with raging flames. More than a dozen goblin augers were hovering high in the air, and although they didn't look like they could carry heavy loads, there were still multiple layers of water gushing out of them like money, trying to stop the spread of the fire.

Su Wen always felt that this scene had a vague sense of immediacy.

"What a coincidence that we came......"

"Yes, master, are you all right?" asked Laetitia, first checking for Suven's injuries, and then patting the dust on his clothes.

"Of course it's fine, but I guess a lot of people are going to have trouble. ”

So Laetitia stopped talking and watched the unheard of scene with Su Wen.

Due to its location in the central city, the goblins' rescue efforts were carried out very efficiently, and through the windows of the hotel, Su Wen could faintly see the goblin enforcers evacuating the people in the distance. Near the explosion point hundreds of meters high, compared to the beginning, it was like a massive amount of water magic constantly covering the fire source, but after less than ten minutes, the originally raging fire had been suppressed, and gradually had a tendency to converge.

However, the Artisan Tower does not seem to be so lucky, although it was also rescued in the first place, but at this time, not only the main tower was still burning, but even the ground in that direction showed a faint black smoke. And when the flames of the Tower of Fortune were basically extinguished, only the charred and dilapidated tower and the billowing smoke remained, and even the aircraft began to approach the rescue survivors, two strings of bright light suddenly flashed in the direction of the faint black smoke, and more than ten seconds later, the sound of a secondary explosion like rolling thunder reached Su Wen's ears, and even the windows of the hotel were buzzed.

As for the farthest tower, the explosion in the air there has long been over, and a steady stream of goblin aircraft are being sent out through the opening of the tower, forming a queue towards the Tower of Craftsmen and the Tower of Wealth.

From beginning to end, Su Wen didn't see any Magister-level beings make a move.

There are only two possibilities, either there are no Magisters in the city, or they are hiding in the shadows and they are unwilling to make a move. Su Wen would rather believe that it was the first possibility, and if it was the latter, then leaving aside whether the empire would make such a sacrifice for political gain, unless those hidden magisters were unknown and never showed up, otherwise other interests who knew their existence would not rest on their laurels.

But all in all, something like this happened in Ironforge Fort, and Su Wen was shocked and faintly smelled a faint strange smell.

In my memory, on the public carriage leaving Tridis, James once said when he invited himself to join the Black Beast Mercenary Group that the Northland of the empire was going to be chaotic again in the past few years. At that time, Su Wen didn't pay much attention to this sentence, firstly, this guy likes to run trains with his mouth full, and secondly, no matter what channel he comes into contact with the information, the northern land can basically be equated with the word "chaos", because the northern countries to the north of the Duolun Empire have been in a state of soy sauce for hundreds of years, and the nearest northern land is of course indispensable to the restless factor.

Now it seems that this sentence is not a joke?

It is true that after the Protectorate War two hundred years ago, there has not been any internal war in the Duolun Empire. And now, even if it is just a speculation without evidence to support it, Su Wen is always worried about how long this stability can last.
