Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 23 The Wedding (4)

The exit of the underground piping system is also a building distance from the ground.

The building is a comprehensive maintenance building funded by the private sector and the state sector, which is responsible for providing maintenance work for the pipeline system in an area at regular intervals.

There is also the regular replacement of pipes, which is an integral part of the infrastructure of the modern steam city, and also provides jobs for many people, solving a major headache for the government.

Now this place has been taken from the three major families by the forces of the Divine Descent Organization.

In order to be able to counter the artillery units placed outside the embassy by the three major families, the Divine Descent Organization began to use this relatively sturdy structure to build its own artillery positions.

It's just that it takes some time to transport artillery from the army station to get here.

The alchemy matrix on the wall outside Rothier's embassy was activated by the warlock, and a curtain of light blue light enveloped the entire building.

It isolates all outside voices and protects the embassy.

The artillery units of the three families began to bombard the general maintenance building, and the violent fire instantly covered the entire building, and in the explosion, it was quickly destroyed until only a relatively intact support remained.

The rubble had buried the enemy troops who had reached the building, and only a few of the polluters were still struggling with their tenacious vitality, but it was clear that they didn't have much time to survive.

Three commandos advanced to the ruins of the Integrated Maintenance Building, alternately covering the exit to the underground pipeline system buried beneath the rubble.

From time to time, shoot the polluters on the ground who still have a breath left.

The forces of both sides have already formed a blood feud.

Their mission to go underground is to use thermite bombs to completely weld the exit to the place, so that the enemy can no longer attack through it.

Suddenly, the ruins began to boil, and several huge white stone arms appeared from it, shattering the defensive alchemy matrix urgently deployed by the commando's accompanying alchemists, erasing the commando from this world.

Because of the slapping of the giant hand, a small earthquake occurred throughout the block, and the solid effect of the alchemy matrix under the embassy began to work, but it still made some people inside feel the tremor.

The drastic changes that have taken place here have not caused news to spread quickly due to the government's martial law/strict order, and the lives of the people of Sanctuary City have not changed as a result.

Although the artillery fire of the three major family forces was concentrated on these things that suddenly appeared, the strange thing is that the entire building still turned into several gargoyles under the shelling.

These monsters all have alchemy matrices that glow red on the surface, and they are obviously all strange things controlled by people.

They roared and rushed towards the Rothschild Embassy.

The defense matrix set up by the warlocks of the three major families only stopped them for a short time before they were broken.

Gargoyles, legend has it that they guard strange things that have long since lost their owners and have ancient buildings that are older than civilization itself.

They have an extremely hard exterior and are able to shape themselves or repair themselves from the ruins of buildings or even dirt.

The General Maintenance Building is a good place to be born, and there are enough materials here.

Ancient buildings guarded by gargoyles often exist in the depths of deserts or on the summit of icebergs, far from the center of civilization.

It seems to be a relic of an ancient civilization.

Their style is also different from the architectural style of any other country and nation in the world today, which also makes the appearance of those gargoyles very strange.

The location of the objects they protect means that they generally do not set foot in the civilized world easily, which leads to a lack of understanding of them.

Of course, there is a well-known song that chronicles their existence.

Travel, traveler,

Traveling far beyond civilization,

There, yes, there,

You will understand the essence of civilization,

There you will see all that civilization is,

Gargoyles, oh guardian standing here,

You've seen it all, so,

Have great mercy,

Have great mercy,

Let the traveler who travels far away see all that is in the past.

It's a popular ballad among true explorers, and no one knows where it originated, but its slightly melancholy tune is the perfect companion for those who travel far away.

These explorers apparently knew and encountered gargoyles, and the loose Guild of Explorers seemed to know more than the governments.

However, the Divine Descent Organization is not only able to use the gargoyles' giant hand arrays, but even manipulate them.

This suggests that they know more about gargoyles than the Explorers.

Once again, their power is underestimated.

As a result, the three major families had to urgently adjust their approach to the enemy.

The mentor-level alchemists of the defending forces barely managed to maintain the ground defense line that was narrowly breached, and withstood the ferocious charge of the gargoyles.

This gave ordinary soldiers a chance to finally breathe.

At the command of the commander, they hurriedly began to rearrange the defenses, taking out heavy fire and special weapons.

With the alchemist in check, they can shoot at these gargoyles as much as they want.

Although it seems that the victory of the defense forces is in sight, it is impossible for the Divine Descent to simply let the gargoyles under their control deplete the ammunition reserves of the three major families.

The gargoyles attracted fire from the front, and the follow-up troops of the Divine Descent were able to pour out of the ruins of the maintenance building in relative safety.

This speed also became faster as the ruins were cleared by the troops that came out first.

Soon, an attacking force that was beginning to take shape was assembled here, and they immediately began to attack the defense line of the three major families' forces.

The troops of the three major families who rushed to reinforce them quickly exchanged fire with them.

Fierce fighting between the two sides reduced the streets to debris.

Although the sound did not enter the embassy and disturb the wedding, the thoughts of the vast majority of people sitting in the embassy at this time had already drifted to the battlefield outside.

They were wondering what the Holy Kingdom was doing, and did this battle mean a split within them?

As the artillery positions of the Divine Descent troops were established, the balance of war began to tilt in their favor.

The artillery units of the three major families need to aim most of their guns at the gargoyles in front of the formation, so they have no time to take care of the enemy's artillery units.

The first shell hit the blue light curtain of the Rothschild embassy heralded the temporary defeat of the three major families and the Allied forces.

The great reason for this is that neither the three major families, nor the people of the Esoteric Research Institute, nor the Rothel Kingdom would expect the Divine Descent Organization to dare to use strange things as their means of attack.

This is Sanctuary City! It is the center of the Holy Kingdom, and using strange things is tantamount to striking at the face of the Holy Kingdom.

This is the seat of the embassy of the Kingdom of Rothiel! This is tantamount to declaring war on the kingdom.

The Divine Descending Organization can't be a bunch of crazy people, so what exactly made them do such a crazy move?

Could it be that Kimchi and Felenvinoer's wedding is so important?

Or is there another reason?

In a trance, everything seemed to change all over me, and the ambassadors of the various countries, after a slight tremor, began to cry out in panic and left their seats.

The general secretary of the Apostolic Council sat in the crowd in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

Felianvinoer's father and the courtiers around him stood up with serious expressions and talked to the officials of the Holy Kingdom.

Kirsten had a gloomy face, and he was gathering his men to discuss something.

Ludwig was also talking to the representatives of the other two families.

My mother and Hessehia were watching outside the embassy.

Suffice it to say, the wedding scene, my wedding scene has become a mess now.

A boiling emotion suddenly came out of my heart, and then it continued to rise, and it was constantly catalyzed to grow.

I'm really angry, really. I've never felt so out of control, like a volcano that has been suppressed for a long time, and when it erupts, no one can predict how far it will go.

I must be looking bad right now. No, it's not an exaggeration to say it's extremely ugly.

Looking at Ferlian Vinoel on the other side, she tore the white veil covering her face, gently put down the flower in her hand and looked at me angrily.

We looked at each other, feeling the same intense emotions that we had for each other.

This is our wedding, where is anyone allowed to spoil it? Whoever comes, they will be consumed by our wrath.

Originally, the wedding had put me under a lot of pressure, and now that I have a place to vent, how can I easily let it slip away?

Impossible!

I turned and walked over to Kirsten, and I knew she had a way.

Felianvinoel walked up to her father and told him what she was going to do next.

More and more cannonballs hit the blue light curtain of the embassy, causing the latter to tremble, and no one knew how long this alchemy matrix could last.

The protective blue light curtain outside could be shattered at any moment, and then the Rothschild embassy would be buried in smoke and fire.

The shaking of the embassy building became more and more pronounced, and the ambassadors of the rest of the countries were shouting to get out of the place.

No matter how much you plan for yourself or the forces behind you, it is not as important as considering your own life safety.

The Kingdom of Rothel temporarily set aside a part of the embassy guards to escort these frightened and important people out of the embassy's backyard.

There will be no attack on this place for the time being.

Flying in the air, the steam airships in charge of patrol missions have long seen the situation here, but they do not dare to act rashly, for fear of getting themselves involved in a political/struggle.

They honestly stayed where they were, deaf to what was happening on the ground, and at the same time did not dare to see anything.

The commander directly ordered the ground observation compartment at the bottom of the airship to self-destruct.

In this way, even if someone comes to him for trouble through what happened on the ground in the future, he will have an excuse to defend himself.
