Chapter 154: Invasion of the Candela Empire?
(I took the train for a day yesterday, and I really didn't have the strength to code words.) And then tomorrow there's another day of train riding...... Tragedy)
――――――――――――
After being stunned for a while, I don't know who shouted in the tavern, and then a bunch of people ran out.
Everyone here has heard of the magic airship produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but very few have seen it with their own eyes.
Now that he was able to see this legendary and extremely magical airlord in this small town in the middle of the Candela Empire, he was immediately curious.
When they were in the tavern, everyone could only see a large dark cloud floating in the sky, and when they really ran outside the tavern and looked at the sky, everyone really felt the incomparably strong sense of oppression and deterrence brought by the rumored magic airship.
The magic airship flew over from a height of about hundreds of meters above everyone's heads, this height is not too high, but it is not short at all, it is a height that ordinary people can't touch at all, but it can make them clearly see the existence of the magic airship, and even people with better eyes can roughly see the appearance of the magic airship.
Such a behemoth flying overhead naturally brought endless pressure to everyone on the ground, and even gave people the illusion that the sky was approaching.
"The gods are above!Is this really made by the New Flying Chamber?" A burst of exclamation rang out from the crowd on the ground.
"yes, isn't it true that only the gods can control such a terrible thing?
"It's terrifying that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really create such an amazing thing!"
"No, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must have obtained the inheritance of the demons! This thing definitely does not belong to humans!"
......
The magic airship doesn't seem to be flying fast. But it's actually extremely fast. Apparently it had just flown over the small town of La Rul. In a few moments, they were already at the far end of the sky.
Just when people thought that these magic airships that suddenly appeared would just pass by accidentally, they found that the entire ten magic airships that flew all the way slowly stopped, and then began to slowly descend from the distant sky.
Seeing this situation, people were a little stunned.
This is the middle of the Candela Empire, the center of the empire, why did the New Flying Chamber send such a bunch of magical airships that were amazing at first glance?
A hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind the people, and everyone looked back in amazement to see a group of cavalry rushing out from the north of the town. Follow the road to the east and gallop in the direction where the magic airship fell.
These cavalry apparently belonged to the regular light cavalry brigade of the town guard of La Rul, as the knight in the lead was clearly Morey, the nephew of the mayor of the town, Viscount Sosk.
After the light cavalry led by Morey left in an instant, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers of the town guard of La Rul also galloped from the north with a gorgeous carriage drawn by four horses, and also rushed all the way in the direction where the magic airship landed.
The carriage was adorned with the family crest of the Southco family, apparently the town mayor, Viscount Southsk.
Moments later, the light cavalry brigade led by Morey and the heavily armored soldiers led by the chariot of the mayor Viscount Sosk disappeared at the far end of the road, leaving the mayor and a bunch of merchants and mercenaries watching the bustle look at each other.
It's weird.
Judging from the hurried posture of the light cavalry led by Morey and the heavily armored soldiers led by Viscount Sosk just now, it was obvious that they were not preparing for the arrival of the magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in advance. Seems a little hurried and flustered.
In other words, the guys from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came suddenly without notifying the officials of the town of La Rul.
This is really surprising.
You know, this is the hinterland of the Candela Empire. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a chamber of commerce that belongs to the Candela Empire, and suddenly pulling out such a group of people to come here, if strictly speaking, it can be defined as an invasion of the Candela Empire!
It is no wonder that Viscount Thorsk is so nervous, as the supreme administrator of the local area, if he does not react to the foreign armed forces, the ghosts believe that the ten magic airships of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are not armed on them, and they are just hanging out here - and they are just hanging out, then the fate that awaits him must be executed.
Even Viscount Sausque's reaction was extremely violent, and he even pulled out all the armed forces that the town of La Rul had, and put on a posture to deal with the highest situation.
When the light cavalry and heavily armored soldiers disappeared at the far end of the road, and the crowd of onlookers in the town looked at me, I looked at you, several mercenaries suddenly turned over and mounted their horses, and also galloped away in that direction.
If nothing else, this is a big event to happen today, and it would be too cost-effective not to see the excitement.
After someone took the lead, almost all the mercenaries in the town followed.
And some businessmen, after thinking about it, also followed.
As a businessman, you have to be concerned about anything that happens on the mainland, because there are business opportunities in everything.
What's more, if it doesn't happen this time, it will be a direct conflict between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the official Candela Empire, which has even more powerful value.
So a moment later, the still lively town of La Rul was instantly less than half of the people, but the road leading to the northeast Sunset Valley was filled with countless billowing smoke.
Among these people, the first to arrive were, of course, Morey and his brigade of light cavalry in the town of Larul.
In a place where he could already see the sunset valley in the distance, Morey finally managed to catch up with the ten magic airships that had landed.
At this time, the doors of the ten magic airships were all open, and a group of people wearing uniform emblazoned with the logo of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were carrying things from inside and outside of the magic airship.
Looking at the strange instruments on those people, but at a glance they knew that they were not toys, and then at the various hideous large machines they carried down from the magic airship, Morey couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Before, he and his uncle, Viscount Thorsk, had only guessed, but now that he saw these people and these strange machines with his own eyes, he was immediately sure.
These people are definitely the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and what they carry on their backs and hands is definitely all kinds of powerful military magic machines.
As for the thing that has spread out in the open space at this time, showing thick steel pipes, it is very likely to be a very famous magic artillery.
But the question is, why did the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly come here, and why did they bring these magical cannons that were said to be extremely powerful?
After hesitating for a moment, Morey relented and drove his horse over.
However, as soon as they took two steps, the two guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly moved, raised a strange-looking cylindrical object and aimed it at Morey, and said in a low voice: "The escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is on official business, and unrelated personnel should not approach at will." ”
Morey was stunned for a moment, then furious.
This is the place of the Candela Empire, and these guys who came from other places dare to say to him, "Don't approach any unrelated people"!
After glancing at those people, Morey barely suppressed his anger, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice to the two New Flying Chamber of Commerce guards: "I am Morey Sosk, the commander of the town of Larul in the Targuera Province of the Candela Empire, and I am the highest military governor in the region. You are the escort of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, why did you suddenly come here, did you get official approval from the Empire?"
The two New Flying Chamber of Commerce guards were still pointing at Morey with the weapons in their hands, but they didn't say a word.
Morey's anger was even greater, and he pointed at the two and shouted: "I warn you! This is the territory of the Empire, if you enter without permission, or even armed with weapons, then I will treat you as an illegal armed invasion and arrest you in accordance with the laws of the Empire." If you dare to resist, kill on the spot!"
The two New Flying Chamber guards remained unmoved, as if they hadn't heard what he had said.
Morey's brow furrowed deeply, and he raised his right hand, ready to give the order to attack.
According to the Imperial Defense Order, he had to do this, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he saw the various military magic machines on the other side's people, and the terrifying-looking magical cannons parked in the clearing.
If these people are really the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and their combat effectiveness is really as terrifying as rumored in the circle of the imperial nobles, then with the only hundred light cavalry he brought, rushing forward is only a fatal share.
But if he didn't do anything, then as the highest military governor in the area, he would definitely be the first to be sent to the gallows by the Imperial Military Department.
"Damn, I don't believe that these guys from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would dare to attack the regular army of the Empire on the territory of the Empire!" Morey was entangled in his heart for a long time, gritted his teeth sharply, and was about to wave his hand to fall, and when he gave the order to attack, a rush and chaotic pace suddenly sounded behind him.
Morey's expression was relieved, and he turned to look at Viscount Sosk, who had arrived in a hurry, and the group of heavily armored infantry he led.
Viscount Sosk's luxurious carriage rushed directly to Morey's side, the door opened, and Viscount Sosk's chubby body jumped directly from the carriage, smashing a cloud of dust on the ground.
He glanced up at the situation in front of him, then exchanged a look with Morey, nodded slightly, sorted out the expression on his face, and walked towards the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side.
The two New Flyer guards who raised their weapons saw Viscount Sosk coming over, and raised their weapons again.
Viscount Sosk stopped, looked left and right, and asked with a smile, "I am Viscount Mayor of Larul Town, who is in charge of this operation?"
The two New Flyer guards were still expressionless, but a figure stepped out from behind a magical airship to greet them.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Viscount Thorsk's heart was relieved.
As long as the other party is willing to discuss, that qiē is easy to do.
However, after he saw the appearance of the person who came out clearly, he couldn't help but change his expression, and the expression on his face became difficult again. (To be continued......)
