Chapter 90: Threats
"Professor Magellan, welcome to the new world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The voice echoed across the battlefield, and only a handful of people knew who was speaking, and it made their hearts go cold.
Including Magellan.
He shook his head helplessly, and walked alone along the ramp smashed by siege weapons to the bottom of the fortress.
The Morning Star was already waiting there.
"Long time no see, ma'am. β
The morning star on the battlefield is what she really looks like, and Commander Francie's uniform makes her shine like a star in the winter night sky.
"The enemies of the king of the world can only have one result, and that is destruction," Luna made no secret of the threat, and Magellan could only bow his head to show that there was no hostility, "Although you are a brilliant scholar and can be spared death, you can only spend the rest of your life in the summer palace, you don't want that, do you?"
"Of course, of course," Magellan knew he was walking a tightrope, he didn't care about science and the Holy See, but he never thought of being an enemy of the king of the world, "I am by no means an enemy of the king of the world, this continent is her domain as a matter of course, including this fortress." β
"But you still stand among the barbarians, inflicting casualties on the armies of the King of the World," Morning Star seemed to be a cold star, her tone still as cold as steel, "Do you have anything to explain, Professor Magellan?"
"What did the king of the world do to the barbarians?"
"You know, I'm not going to repeat. β
"Yes, but in reality, the warriors of this fortress are not barbarians, they have a long history, a brilliant civilization, and lived under the rule of a vast empire just before the explorers arrived in the New World. In the name of a researcher, I ask you to reconsider, at least they deserve the most basic treatment of civilized people. β
"To convince me, you joined these people's army?" Morningstar gave a dangerous sneer, "You're threatening me?"
"I have no intention of doing so," said Magellan, whose head had not been raised since the beginning of this conversation, "but death does not bring back to life." β
"So be it," Morningstar waved his hand contemptuously, turning to leave, "You'll spend the rest of your life in the Summer Palace, and most people will get used to life as a toy very quickly, and maybe you'll love that life if you're smart." β
"I wish you good luck. β
It wasn't until the footsteps of the morning star disappeared into the distance that Magellan finally raised his head, he sighed, and turned back to the fortress.
"How's it going?" Tonnan had been waiting for him for a long time.
"As expected. β
Tonan sighed with Magellan, the worst-case scenario they expected.
"Any plans?"
"Nope. β
......
On the last line of defense of the fortress, Magellan was at the front of the line, his eyes covered in blood.
Morningstar is a true soldier, and when she prepares to start a war, nothing but blood and death await her enemies.
The Francie army soon formed a melee assault team, which charged with bayonets at the tips of muskets and with great combat skill, and rushed to the last line of defense of the fortress with the first attack.
The Incas have no way back, but they are still in full swing, and the warriors have always believed that battle is glory, not to mention that yesterday's raid gave them back their confidence.
But Magellan knew that the fortress was crumbling, and that it would only take a little time for the Morning Star to destroy all that remained.
The only good news is that he's here.
The imminent victory inspired the Francis warriors, and the Inca warriors who defended the last line of defense fought to the death, and the steep slope of the original high cliff was covered with blood and corpses, like hell.
And Magellan is the devil.
Armed with a sword, he simply used his skill to inflict death in the crowd, leaving only corpses in his path.
Like a reef in the waves, Magellan dictated the course of the battle, being held back by Franci's army when they charged hard, and the inducement of the Incas had to retreat without his support.
Powerful construction machinery could not reach the area, and airships were unable to provide strong support due to the lack of attack means and fear of accidental injury, and the Incas temporarily stabilized the defense.
But that's only temporary.
Magellan saw the figure of the morning star.
If she is outside of the battlefield, she is a rare beauty, but on the battlefield, Luna's appearance only represents one thing - hell.
"Stand back!"
But it's too late.
Morningstar raised his hand, and a cloud of essence appeared above the head of the Inca warrior, and then the transparent ball exploded, and the invisible essence spread like lightning with the colorful patterns that infected the air.
Patches of warriors fell, without any wounds all over their bodies, but lost their lives in an instant.
Morningstar's skill was beyond the limits of what mortals could imagine, and none of the Francie warriors were accidentally injured, but in an instant, only Magellan was left in front of them.
The thirst for victory led the warriors to burst into great force in an instant, and they rushed towards Magellan with a shout, ready to cross this last line of defense.
But they didn't take the opportunity.
Magellan held out and did not retreat, while the Inca warriors behind rushed up and filled the gap.
So Morningstar raised his hand again.
This time, the place where the essence gathered was above Magellan's head, and Morningstar was no longer ready to show mercy to his subordinates.
Then Magellan raised his sword, and the essence of the terror dissipated like a punctured balloon.
The entire battlefield was enveloped in some kind of eerie atmosphere.
The Guards of the King of the World can only have one kind of magic, because this magic is completely sufficient, and no one has ever survived the essence turbulence, let alone destroyed this magic like Magellan just now.
The Inca warriors didn't know much about the magic of the Morning Star, and they were the first to react from shock on the battlefield, when the Francie warriors in front of Magellan had not yet come to their senses, and the Incas took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
The defense line finally did not completely collapse because of the appearance of the morning star, but Magellan did not feel a trace of relief in his heart.
The Morning Star had come to him.
Magellan paused, looking at Luna's bayonet and knowing that if he dared to strike at the other Francie soldiers, the sharp weapon would pierce his body.
The battlefield was noisy, and both men were silent, but Magellan could see her contempt in Morningstar's expression.
As the most trusted commander of the king of the world, Morningstar has every right and reason to despise Magellan, the Incas have no chance of winning this war, and from the moment Magellan chooses to join them, he is destined to be the side to be despised.
