Chapter 151: Fire and Water Are Ruthless
After rubbing the corpse of the shapeshifter who had been shot and killed for a while, like a child with his head down and playing with ants, Quis stood up and asked the kobold of the Dragonlord clan to pack up the "trophy" and take it away.
"Palu is probably interested in looking into it. ”
The young blue dragon in human form shrugged his shoulders, then turned to look at the bastard son of the pharaoh's cousin, who was squatting in the corner of the tent, shivering, and finally refocused his gaze on the somewhat familiar silver blade.
Having received the Psychic Inheritance from the Sage of the Gies, he could feel that the weapon was a true silver blade even without touching it.
It was still a step late, and although it had blocked the faint radiation on the weapon with the power of psionic energy, its signal must have been received by the signal stations widely arranged by the astral colonists.
The trouble that should come will always come, and the frustration is no longer helpful, and it is most practical to take care of the current situation.
"He looks like a chicken, sweats like a pig, and lies like a dog. It's really exquisite. ”
After reading the file sent by the "Wind Hearr", the pot-bellied belly pointed to the gang leader who was cowering in the corner and was amazed.
After conquering the city of Nome, this veteran of Medici was willing to abandon his "good fellow", and only led hundreds of personal guards to follow Quest to uproot the "thorns" left by the Usan.
In his own words, the marshal needs to be concerned about the big picture, and the general only needs to keep winning battles - and the key to this is to see the enemy's tricks in advance.
"Wait......"
Thanks to his casual words, Quest suddenly thought of a way to deal with the stubborn pursuit of the Giss Yankees for the time being.
All it takes is a good show,
The young blue dragon's eyes once again fell on the gang leader who was about to collapse mentally, this illegitimate child was the "protagonist" who was about to be pushed onto the field, but he still needed some "dressing" work.
......
In Mijinzu outside Izumo Castle, the capital of the Usaso Empire, the expeditionary fleets organized by the nobles of the Senate were divided according to the logo of the family flag, and they were neatly moored and ready to go.
Eliminated slaves transported by ship from the Naoetsu talent market – serfs who could not afford to work, samurai with physical disabilities, criminals from other colonial vassals, were to contribute the last of their surplus value to Mijinzu.
Apprenticed by a sturdy young aristocratic mage, the life force and soul of these slaves were transformed into the raw materials for the construction of new portals. It is also a loss that the slaves who have been drained of their life force have been turned into dried corpses, otherwise the docks of Mijinzu may turn into a sea of red blood.
At the other end of the new portal is the city of Spath, thousands of miles away in the land of Medici, where most of the mages of the U-Sang Advance Legion were actually deployed to the city when Nome City fell, and they were also coordinating similar work to their U-sang colleagues at this time.
The green-colored corrupt energy and the lilac soul energy entangled with each other, working together to build a stable spatial passage. After the mages repeatedly confirmed the connection between the two sides, the general who had been waiting for a long time waved his sword and instructed the many noble coalition forces to start moving.
Unlike the airships that were the flagships of the aristocratic coalition, sailors navigating ships on the sea were not as easy as navigators. They had to concentrate on controlling the tightness of the rigging and cables, carefully adjusting the sail angle to ensure that they would not collide or even capsize in such a dense fleet.
On the other side of the portal, Medici had just gone night.
The moon rose above the stars in the cobalt blue sky, and the moonlight was like a veil over the shoulders of the city of Spath. Unlike the location where the portal circle was set up in Nome, the tall portico building resembles a grotesque bridge across the banks of the Niro River.
Accompanied by the sound of the abundant river rushing, the flagships of the various families of the Wosang first drove out of the portal and roamed over the city of Spath. Soon after, a continuous "squeak" sound was heard—there was still some collision and friction as the battleship passed through the portal, and a large combined fleet of Usang nobles continued to pour into the surface of the Niro River.
Originally, with the breadth of the Niro River, "waves curb flying boats" is the norm, but at this time, it has become "flying boats to curb waves". The combined fleet of the U-sang nobles was so large that it even silted up this Medici mother river.
A large number of sergeants boarded the deck of the ship, carrying heavy supplies, and quickly disembarked by small ships that had been converted into pontoon bridges near the shore. This mixed army of freeman swordsmen belonging to various noble families and a large number of slave warriors did not enter the city of Spath, and they set up camp in batches on the high platforms that the mages had built with the earth elemental piles and reinforced with the spell "turn mud into stone".
The Usa-sang ships crowded together in the Niro River were finally dredged, leaving only a few special ships that seemed to have a deep draft left on the surface of the river. As the confirmation signal is issued, the caster standing on top of the special ship activates the pre-set circle.
With a rumbling sound, the circle communicated to the inner plane of the earth element. Under the effect of the difference in gravity, a large amount of gravel soil gushes out like a fountain until it fills the entire cabin. These modified ships sank to the bottom of the river in sequence, layer by layer, and built a "shipwreck dam" to cut off the Niro River.
The river bursts, and Ze is a hundred miles.
In retaliation for the annihilation of the advance legion by Quez, the U-Sang decided to release the "Flood Demon" to the land of Medichi. The city of Spath, the closest to the shipwreck dam and the first to bear the brunt, was torn apart by the flood almost instantly, and the city of tens of thousands of people was reduced to a swamp and mud.
Lurking in the city, the strange undead golem summoned by the half-lich Snead from the bones of the Bagura ape, had to crawl out of the tomb where it was hiding, and after transmitting the situation through the soul fire, it quickly transformed into a bone boat and sailed into the depths of the Zedi.
After tonight, it is foreseeable that dozens of wealthy Medici cities along the Niro River will be affected, and the loss of these "granaries of the Empire" could cause widespread famine, often accompanied by plague as it sweeps across the land.
Wars, floods, famines, and pestilences always lead to inevitable death.
......
Fire, burning in and out of Cloud City.
The city is both the national capital and the jewel of the Usang people. And even if people are stingy by nature, they often show a generous side when dealing with their own children.
The world of ashes is full of deserts and a general lack of fresh water. Wood is a particularly valuable strategic resource, but the Usaso are willing to spend a lot of wood to build their Izumo Castle.
Pavilions, Kabukicho, and government offices are all part of the city's many wooden buildings that can be considered extravagant in the eyes of foreigners. Occasionally, after the rainy season, some building materials that have not yet had time to be painted will even appear on the "old trees and new flowers", which is amazing to the world.
Recently, however, these buildings have been turned into food for fire demons.
When the flames touched, the flames rose into the air, showing red, blue, and even miraculous green sparks due to the composition of the paint on the wood.
The nobles and members of the Senate all had their own fiefdoms, but they often bought offices and residences in Izumo Castle. The fire started in the makeshift residence of a councillor in the center of the city and spread to all sides.
The ferocious flames resemble the demons depicted in the paintings, their tongues licking every inch of the material that can fuel the fire.
When it jumped along the commercial town to a sesame oil mill and detonated the sesame oil stored in the jar, the flames rose with momentum, like a shining fountain of fire, "crackling" and exploding;
When it reaches the spice shop, the whole street is filled with the pungent sweet smell of expensiveness;
When he found the rare herbs that were stored in the storehouse, the owner of the shop and the doctor who sat in the clinic couldn't help but burst into tears, so angry that he couldn't speak, and he just beat his chest and feet.
Houses collapsed in flames, and markets crumbled in smoke.
Due to the transfer of a large number of spellcasters from the Expedition of the General Commander, the few dozen remaining mages in Izumo City were simply unable to take care of the city that could almost be said to be the largest in the Ash World. They could only gather around the Senate to ensure that the core of the Usang Empire was not burned, and the firefighting work could only be done by the guards guarding the city.
"What the hell are those wastes doing? Ignore the buildings and lowly slaves that have been lit with open fires, dig fire channels and evacuate the free people in the city!
Due to the full protection of the caster, there is no risk of smoke and fire. The Speaker of the Senate vented his anger at the noble sergeant who had given the order, and looked back at the spell sand table in the middle of the hall with the same apprehension as the other councillors.
"Izumo Castle must not be burned to the ground!"
This is the common sentiment of almost all the great nobles present, and this capital is not only a place for them to live and work, but also a true portrayal of their life of overthrowing the Japanese Empire and establishing an unprecedented glory.
Compared to the descendants of those who were hundreds of years apart, or the overseas colonies they had never set foot in, Izumo Castle was far more important in their hearts than the first two.
There is only one exception.
While the others weren't looking, an imperceptible smile appeared on the face of a noble councilor standing in the corner. Under the influence of the "powerful command technique", this U-sang nobleman has become a loyal fan of the Medici Davishuer.
The fire started in a newly acquired mansion, and the fire spread so quickly because the mansion was adjacent to a commercial town.
Not only that, but he also knew that even under the angry orders of His Excellency the Speaker, the soldiers and nobles were exhausted to put out the fires to no avail—there were already some fire dwarves who were not afraid of ordinary fire, and there were already some fire dwarves who were not afraid of ordinary fire, and they had already laid fuses for explosives throughout Izumo Castle, and the fire could detonate somewhere at any time.
On the spell sand table, a fire sign appeared above the location of an oil store, and the Speaker of the Senate held his forehead and let out a painful sigh.
As if triggering a preset condition, a dagger quenched with green poison appeared in the puppet councilor's cuff under the control of the powerful command, and he quietly circled around the Speaker's side and stabbed forward with all his might.
"For the general!"
Fire and water are ruthless, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
