Chapter 6: The Burning of the City

Lu Weijia was followed by Ge Lipeng.

This time, it was a demonstration of craftsmanship, and Ge Lipeng performed a hand-rubbing musket in front of the dwarves.

Another thunder barrel was made on the spot, and it also showed its power, blasting a piece of armor made by a dwarf to pieces......

After a set of combination punches, those dwarves who were still a little unruly were all *** stunned.

In particular, Li Yu chose to defeat them in the field they are best at, and the impact on them was even greater.

So much so that the dwarves all began to wonder about life, why did their weapons sell so well on the continent of Bratis before, could it be just an illusion deliberately created by these people in the empire in order to paralyze them?

However, this conjecture is too bizarre, and the more plausible explanation is obviously because of the human who claims to be a prophet in front of him, and the powerful god Saturday behind him.

As a result, the dwarves looked at Li Yu with more and more awe, just like the local people in Italy looked at Suning.

When training the dwarves, Li Yu did not forget to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and called the leaders of those savage tribes to watch together, and the big guys strengthened their ideological construction together.

However, when Li Yu was busy developing new believers and carrying out a new round of production and construction, Lvye received bad news.

The bad news came through the radio station in the royal capital.

- The Wing Clan army that Gabriel spoke of has finally arrived on the continent of Brattis.

And the way they crossed the sea was also beyond everyone's expectations.

It turned out to be flying straight in! No wonder no one had seen their warship before, and this had misled many Imperial nobles into not taking the female lord's previous warnings to heart.

In fact, until the time they heard the news, many people, including Emperor Garth, still found it incredulous.

Because until a few years ago, the Empire was unaware of the existence of the birdmen, which means that the continents on which the two sides are located are quite far apart.

And it is likely that for some reason, it will be difficult for the ships to get there as well.

How did those Wing Clan people actually fly over the vast sea? How did you rest along the way, and didn't you find the islands along the way?

These questions deeply troubled the nobles of the royal capital.

Li Yu remembers that he had seen a certain bird science article before, saying that some migratory birds can fly for tens of thousands of kilometers without eating, drinking, or resting for more than ten days when they are migrating.

That's not the point, though, because those guys have already arrived, and they've also captured Cape Crab, the first harbor in the Empire.

It is said that Cape Crab is now the de facto controllers of the Drummond family, who tried to resist at the time.

The head of the house, Toussaint, chose to gather everyone in his castle, hoping that he would be able to defend himself against the attacks of the Wing Clan with the help of a strong stone fortress.

However, what happened after that proved to be probably the worst decision he had ever made in his life.

Instead of storming the castle as Toussaint had imagined, the Wing Clansmen chose to throw a large amount of firewood and pine resin collected from nearby around the castle.

The fire soon engulfed the entire castle, the two thousand defenders inside, and dozens of important members of the Drummond family, including Toussaint himself, his wife and son.

and the nobles of the castle who had taken refuge in the castle at the time of the incident, all died in the fire.

It is said that the fire burned for a day and a night, and when the fire stopped, someone went in to check on it and found that the bodies had been burned to charcoal, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

There were 2,000 defenders, and not even a single enemy was killed, and the whole army was wiped out.

This was a great shock to all the nobles of the Empire, and it was reported that the Wing Clan army had not gone on to encroach on other towns after taking Cape Crab.

Instead, he spent seven days resting in the city, and then went straight to the royal capital.

Now the people in Fort Lionheart are panicking, and Garth is ready to fight at the first time

Prepare for the incoming enemy.

But with the experience of Crab Horn, most of the nobles in the royal capital are pessimistic about the next battle.

There's no way, who makes people fly, this ability is too unreasonable, no matter how you think about it, you can't defeat it, and some nobles are even already trying to find a way to escape.

The civilians in the city were even more frightened, the mercenaries and merchants were packing their bags, and it is said that some of the advisors around the new emperor also advised him to leave the city for a while.

Garth, however, ordered all six gates to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

Apparently having made up his mind to defend Lionheart.

Due to the short time of Garth's ascension to the throne, coupled with the need to watch out for his two younger brothers, balance the forces of all parties, and even send a mission to the elves and dwarves to show goodwill.

I hope to eliminate the negative effects of my father, Edward II's "bold words" before his death.

His series of gentle methods have been used so much that many people have forgotten that he also has the blood of the Vespasian family in his veins.

It wasn't until the most critical moment that Garth showed his claws and fangs.

However, Li Yu was not optimistic about his choice, although those Wing Clansmen had always behaved very savage and cruel, they were not reckless.

This invasion of the continent of Brattis was not a whim, but was carefully planned over a long period of time.

From Gabriel sneaking into the West to secretly hatch dragon eggs, to Jacobi encouraging those dwarves to cross the Dragon Crest Mountains, to them taking down crab horns in such a short time.

And according to the information transmitted by the radio, after Toussaint was killed, although a small rebellion broke out in Cape Crab, someone raised a banner to avenge Toussaint, but it was quickly extinguished.

It can be seen that there are obviously already nobles in that city who are on the side of those Wing people, otherwise even if they kill Toussaint and all the defenders in the city, as a group of foreigners who do not understand the language, it will definitely not be easy to really occupy the place.

Their subsequent abandonment of other towns and their assault on Lionheart was clearly planned, taking advantage of their air and maneuver superiority.

Once the royal capital is lost and Garth, the new emperor, dies in battle, it is only a matter of time before the empire collapses, and the lords of each place will have to fight on their own.

Perhaps the only good news is that the Wing Clan army isn't too numerous.

With less than 10,000 people in their early teens, it seems that an expedition across the sea is not an easy thing for them either.

It is tantamount to a fool's dream that these more than 10,000 people want to completely swallow the huge Red Lion Empire, no wonder they will unite dwarves and elves, as well as support some rebellious imperial nobles.
