The Archon's Mansion in Sparter City was still unsustainable, and the fortress was barely able to support more than half a day under the repeated bombardment of the Usaan ballistas.

The Desert Elf mercenaries, who were originally the core of their defense, defected after Egu was assassinated. The Guardian Mages were powerless, and they were sniped by elite crossbowmen as they took off on the Flying Carpet, and fled the area after losing one or two Grey-robed Mages.

The accession to the throne of Brittany, a tyrant, and the successive availability of cities in the heartland, really stimulated the power center of the Medici Empire. But I don't know if there was a communication with the Great Vishur before, and the pharaoh who sat in Bait did not reprimand and punish the dragon Pasha who ruled over this place.

He hastily ordered an army to be assembled and sailed up the river Nero, intending to quickly quell the rebellion. The reason for the counterinsurgency legion to march by water was to carry more siege equipment and baggage supplies, and the information reported by the "Wind Hearers" pointed out that the enemy should have crossed the wall of despair and formed a formed Usang legion.

Being able to quickly conquer the two cities shows that they have sufficient manpower and weapons in advance. Therefore, although the army of Medici also fought within its borders, it still needed to be prepared for a protracted war.

The sparkling waters of the Niro River ensure that even if you go upstream, you won't encounter much resistance. At this time of year, the northerly wind blew the triangular sails of the flat-bottomed warship, and the soldiers took turns acting as oarsmen below deck, further speeding up the ship.

Soon after the sun was set, a strange figure suddenly appeared on the deck of the warship, which was the flagship of the Medici Legion. It's just that after the visitor showed the token symbolizing his identity, the sergeant on duty respectfully let him into the shipyard.

Entering the military chamber of the flagship, Quest took a look at the layout of the place: occupying one of them was a well-made sand table, with all the markings of mountains, rivers, trade routes, cities, tribes, etc.; several young staff officers were constantly discussing the strategy of the attack around the sand table, well-armoured and powerful warriors stood with swords and arched to the left and right of the cabin; in the place where the unextinguished flame was not illuminated, the mage who was not a rookie from the perspective of spell fluctuations was hidden by the black robe and shadow he was wearing.

The only seat in the entire cabin was reserved for the general, who Quest looked into. From the towering cheekbones, it can be seen that he may have been as thin as an eagle vulture when he was young, but now his fat round face and belly with his armor held high show that he is a high-ranking Medici official with a good figure, there is no doubt about it.

"Your Excellency is the owner of the Dragon's Lair Territory, the dragon Pasha who was recommended by His Excellency Davishur," originally he was still proud of his identity, but thinking of the race of the comer, he still dragged his fat body to stand up as a sign of respect. With a stylized smile, the Medici general continued: "Don't worry, I've brought in a lot of good boys to make sure that I can throw all those filthy slave owners into the Niro River to feed the fish. ”

Quis nodded, these human legions of Medici were indeed a good card he was looking forward to grabbing: "Then I can rest assured, after an hourglass, the ship will anchor and dock, don't care about Spat City and directly want to march to Nome City, and try to cross the storm barrier on the periphery of that city tomorrow morning." The young blue dragon, who had taken human form, walked to the edge of the sand table, picked up a small flag symbolizing the Medici Legion and threw it outside the miniature model of Nome City.

"You have ...... What is the intention, my legion has shipborne siege weapons, and it can reach the city of Spat in more than a day's march, which can be used to siege the city. The pot-bellied general wanted to say, "What power do you have", but when it came to his lips, it became "What are your intentions", but he still expressed his doubts.

This was originally expected by Quis, the young blue dragon's fingers were scratched, and a thin line vitrified by scorching rays appeared on the sand table: "A quarter of an hour ago, your fleet had sailed into the territory of my Pasha. According to Medici law, the Pasha had the supreme power to command the military movement of a province. And if that's not enough—"

Quest's words paused, and the explanation came a little later, but fortunately he was not absent.

The flagship, which was swimming against the current, came to an abrupt halt, and everyone in the cabin stumbled violently due to inertia. Hidden in the shadows in the corner, the mage on duty struck his head, and the sand table in the middle of the cabin nearly capsized.

The Medic's counterinsurgency fleet had encountered a rocky area thousands of parasan miles from the mouth of the Niro River, and these incredible piles at the bottom of the river were naturally the work of the U-sangs. Upon learning of the gathering of the Mediki army, the mages of the Usang Empire rushed here in the starry night to lay the foundation for a surprise attack with the power of magic.

The hidden piles set up at the bottom of the river by the "turn mud into stone" spell are arranged in a V-shaped arrangement, and the head of the fleet going up against the current will only hit the reef when it goes deep into this trap, and it is not so easy for the fleet, which has been huddled at this time, to turn around. Beneath the surface of the water, there were also thick knotted twine between the thick piles, and it was difficult for the Medici fleet to drop the sampan and log in first.

Admiral Medici, who hurriedly boarded the flagship deck, hurriedly ordered the rear of the ships to evacuate quickly through the flag. Fortunately, the retreat was downstream, and the ships requisitioned for this counterinsurgency were all flat-bottomed inland river vessels with a shallow draft, so they should-

The protrusion of change can also be said to be a bulge. In addition to the reefs, the U-Sang also arranged a large number of logs to tie to the bottom of the river, at which point all the ropes were cut and broke out of the water. Logs struck the bottom of the flat-bottomed warship like battering rams, and on some of the logs were the elite samurai of the Usang Dupo Slave Legion.

After the logs jumped high above the water, they jumped to the ships in front of them and boarded the ships to fight. These slave warriors hid underwater on animal urine, just to give the Medici Legion an unexpected first wave of head-on blows.

Looking at the samurai who were constantly boarding the ship and slashing wildly, Admiral Medici recognized the invading enemy from his armor and equipment. But this was not enough, with the reef and this little water ghost force could not destroy a fleet, the Usang people must have a backhand.

Before he could call out to spellcasters and long-range heavy equipment to launch an indiscriminate attack on both sides of the river, the Usang soldiers who had been in ambush on both sides of the river lifted the canvas used for camouflage, and hundreds of crossbow machines that tightened their bowstrings began to rain down on the beast-like Mediki fleet. The heavy arrows of these ballistas were plastered with asphalt, and when fired, they looked like a rain of fire falling from the sky.

"Summon a large water elemental!" The Medidic spellcasters on the ship tried their best, but in a hurry, these summoned water elementals could not effectively counterattack at all, and could only use their own bodies as a block to extinguish the flames on some arrows.

At the same time, the Usang mages also saw the right time, not only using spells to drive away the elemental creatures, but also building several paths for the army that was hesitating on the shore to the center of the Niro River. Led by the Freefolk Swordsmen, a large number of Dufall slave warriors launched an attack on the Medici fleet.
