Chapter 548: Surprise Attack

Siegel nodded, waved his hand to summon Stardust into his hand, and pulled it out with a thud. Count Todd snorted: "Your long sword is so weird, why is it only the tip of the sword?"

Before he could hear the answer, he was pierced through the heart by a sword!

The two sons of the earl were startled and were about to rush up when Evan stopped them. "Wait a moment, see the situation clearly, don't be impulsive like a hairy boy!"

Siegel tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and spun it around the count's chest, increasing the speed at which the wound was fatal. Losing the pressure provided by his heart, blood flowed from the count's chest and ran down the chair to the floor, soaked through the linen-soaked robe.

It was certain that the Count had taken his last breath, and everyone turned their attention to the clones. Siegel could feel the elemental fluctuations, and then he heard the clone's slow heart begin to beat violently. With a gasp of "......", the younger version of Earl Todd sat up abruptly from the "crystal coffin", coughing and covering his eyes with his hands.

His voice was muffled until he coughed up a lot of black-brown pus. "What the hell is this, it stinks!" said the Earl, disgusted, and threw up as he clung to the edge of the crystal coffin.

But he hadn't eaten since he was made, and he didn't have anything to vomit. After emptying the gastric juices, he began to feel thirsty again. "Water, or mulled wine, I need to moisten my throat!"

"It's best to wait a while before eating and drinking, your body needs to adapt to the normal rhythm, especially the heart, lungs and stomach. Siegel carefully examined the state of the clone and pulled the Count's hand covering his eyes down, "These eyes have never really been used, so you have to get them used to the light, and it doesn't do any good to keep them covered." There must be light to have life, as long as your eyes are not painful tears, then you try to open and see. ”

"Mage. I just feel pain and itching all over my body!" Count Todd struggled for several minutes, and finally got used to it. He saw the people around him clearly with his eyes, which were decades younger, and then got up from the coffin and saluted His Majesty the King naked. Then he said to his son, "Come home today and stew me twenty pig's trotters!"

"Father!" the two children rushed forward, wrapping Count Todd in their wide cloaks.

Everyone understands that this should be the code set by Count Todd before. It is used to authenticate one's identity. Evan stepped forward, examined the corpse, and then marveled at the Count's new body. The priest of the Temple of the God of War was speechless at this time, and could only kneel on the ground and hold the holy emblem and pray.

"God, great god of war, what have I seen!"

"The resurrection is not only the power of the gods, but also the power of mortals. Siegel pulled the two middle-aged knights away and helped the Count into his chair, after which he checked the Count's breathing and heartbeat. And look at his eyelids to see how his eyes are doing. "At the moment everything seems to be normal, all the functions of this body are working. But I suggest you don't go home yet, and stay here at the Star Castle. On the one hand, it is convenient for me to observe, and on the other hand, it is relatively close to His Majesty's physician and can deal with emergencies. ”

"Live here, Count. Evan nodded. "I want to eat stewed pig's trotters or something, so let's eat them together in the evening." ”

Siegel shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, it's better to drink gruel for a few days first." Eat some soft bread and goat's milk as well. Give me the stewed pig's trotters first! By the way, the countess is still here. She can be blessed. ”

This sentence caused the Count to be embarrassed, and he did not know how to respond.

At this moment, everyone's feet shook, and then they felt like they were flying. The cloning experiment took place on a magic spaceship, and the ship actually left the ground!

"Host, host. I see the goblins' missile weapons, three in all, flying towards the royal city!" Starrope's voice echoed in the cabin, and she couldn't bother to say anything at this point.

"Shoot them down, don't let them into the city area!" Siegel immediately ordered. Turning to Evan, he said, "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, and I can only fire above the royal city." ”

"Yes, but I'm going to see what happens. Evan replied categorically.

Siegel leads the group to a higher room, where the outer armor can be moved, revealing the glass windows. Everyone saw that the magic ship was showing its claws, and the electromagnetic cannon was constantly roaring, like a continuous thunderbolt. Spirals of smoke formed and dissipated in the trajectory of the shells, and the shining bright spots went straight to the distant horizon.

There, three gray smoke tracks are faintly visible, like smoke rising from a cooking stove. But the smoke doesn't move diagonally, and it doesn't threaten death. The Star's global vision played an important role, and the goblin attack was seen from afar.

"Is this the power of your magic ship?" The sight in front of them shocked the king and the count, and even the priest of the god of war was dumbfounded. They could not see the shells at all with the naked eye, but the power of the weapon could be deduced from the flight trajectory remaining in the air. Wiki, the head of intelligence, had reported to the king about the breakthrough of the Hellstein Castle by the magic ship, but Vicky did not see the cannon with his own eyes, thinking that it was relying on Siegel's magic or that the ship was equipped with some kind of very accurate siege crossbow. Now His Majesty has seen the electromagnetic cannon with his own eyes, not to mention the power, even the speed of the fire has surpassed his understanding.

The first warhead was detonated in the air, not a nuclear weapon, just a conventional explosive warhead, and then the second. The electromagnetic cannons turned in unison, and the fire network suddenly increased the density by two times, and the third volley exploded in the air. It was a nuclear warhead that exploded more than eighty miles from the royal city. A bright glow comparable to the sun illuminated the sky, rising mushroom clouds obscured the sky, and the shadow of death enveloped the people of the royal capital.

People who look directly at the white light only feel pain in their eyes, but fortunately they are far enough away that their eyes are not permanently damaged, at least not blind. The heat carried by the light ignited some of the thatched houses in the royal capital, causing fires in many places, and the Xingsuo began to cruise the royal city under the orders of Siegel, using the creation circle to continuously rain down and quickly extinguish the flames.

"Your Majesty, this is the weapon of the nuclear warhead, the goblin. "It's best to seal off the blast area immediately, as it will be filled with deadly dust that will contaminate food and water," Siegel said. ”

"Can you take me to see it?" Evan gritted his teeth as he looked at the mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky, his left hand clenched into a fist. "Explosive Zone...... Will anyone survive in the blast area?"

Siegel shook his head: "Even I, with all the protection, can't survive in that environment. ”

"Then the goblins should die. Evan's voice was calm, but Siegel could hear his suppressed anger.

The royal city was in chaos for a while, but as the city guards began to maintain order and the magic ship helped solve the disaster, the unease gradually disappeared. His Majesty Evan officially issued an edict declaring war on the goblin world and carrying out the general mobilization of the Starry Kingdom. He approved the request from the Mage Guild and the Academy, and entrusted them with starting to stir up trouble and crack down on the goblins. No one will have any objections this time, especially when Siegel keeps his mouth shut.

At the same time, Vicky sprang into action, and on the orders of the king, began to investigate the origin of the goblin weapon. How did the goblins pass through the crystal wall barrier, and how were they able to launch an attack on the royal city? He suspected that the Mage Guild or the elves were in some conspiracy, but he wasn't sure if they had the guts. Siegel also informed the Federation that they must hide and defend the crystal wall passage in the north of the city wall mountain range. If the goblins had been here, they would have looked for more lanes, and the federation was not as solid defensively as the other ones.

Goblins are listed as the primary enemies of the Star Kingdom, and all lords in the territory must clear the goblins in their territory without any excuses or delays, regardless of cost or loss. Goblin scalps can be exchanged for silver coins from many merchants, who can then turn their scalps in the Temple of War and turn them into gold coins or magic potions. The treasury took out part of the money, and the rest was the "contributions" of various members of the royal family. This vigorous action was Count Todd's idea, at least all the territories in the country took action, and the adventurers and mercenaries were busy, so they would not be used by those who had a heart to avoid causing greater chaos.

Other shrines also reached out to help treat those injured in the blast. On behalf of the Federation, Siegel and the School City have come up with a cure for nuclear weapons and dust contamination, and have improved the healing of the spells of the priests of the temples. But Siegel knew that the real damage would be revealed later, with aberrant body tissues, decaying organs, and dead fetuses. The closer the village is to the blast area, the more affected it will be. Siegel suggested that His Majesty the King gather the inhabitants of these villages, relocate and live in a centralized manner, but was opposed.

"How can they be captive if they are not prisoners?" Evan's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't mean to listen at all.

Siegel snorted his nose, knowing that the goblin attack had annoyed Evan. Since Siegel had previously tried to prevent the king from immediately launching a strategy against the goblins, he must have had something in Evan in mind. If the goblins had been allowed to kill each other sooner, such a tragedy might have been avoided.

History has no ifs. History is always cold and imperfect, but the "ifs" are always flawless. Evan's "if" is equivalent to asking Siegel with perfection, even gods can't be perfect!

In the meantime, will there be a second attack? The threat of terror often hurts more than the actual sword, and not only the king, but the entire royal council, the entire system of lords, is tense.

After Siegel's proposal to the Council was refuted, he knew Evan needed to vent his hatred for the goblins. Evan is a swordsman, and he will only be comfortable when he encounters an opponent, so he will only be beaten, and the matter of beating people will be handed over to the mage, and his heart will naturally be depressed. So after the meeting, Siegel asked to see Evan and spoke to him what he thought.

"Go to Earth to fight goblins, of course, I can't ask for it!" Evan threw away his practice sword, and Siegel saved a straw target.

"It's not you who fight, it's through a magic ship. Siegel explained, "It's time for the Mage Guild to take action, let's go and see how it works." ”

"Has the Mage Guild invited you too?" (To be continued.) )
