Chapter 644: Air Raid on the Capital of the Fusak Empire
In Hobart's study, he told Hugh briefly about the battle.
And finally concluded: "I got a piece of information before, there are a total of five Sages in the Aurora Society.
"We've already killed four of their Sages, and if they don't replenish their new powers, then the Aurora Society will now have only one Sage left.
"But whether or not they will replenish the power of the Sage-level people, this hidden organization composed of madmen will definitely disappear for a while."
Thinking of the purpose of this organization, Hobart felt that the True Creator Church would definitely replenish some of the power of the Holy Realm.
Hugh smiled, "In the past, I had no idea that I would be able to do my part in the fight against this evil extraordinary organization. ”
"There will be a sustained attack on the Aurora." Hobart said: "You have to use your intelligence network to publicize tonight's operation, portray the Aurora Society very embarrassed, and even beg Duke Hobart for mercy." ”
Hugh was slightly stunned: "This will expose you." ”
"It's okay." Hobert smiled, "I'm just going to provoke them, it's better if they can send it to the door themselves!" ”
In tonight's operation, Hobert didn't even wear a mask, because with his current strength, an organization like the Aurora Society wanted to avoid him, not him from the Aurora Society.
Even with the addition of the "Predator Cross", this organization is no match for the "Founder" forces when the royal family of the Vorsak Empire and many Extraordinary Families in the Republic of Intis hold the "Hunter" path.
At least it's much worse than the Witch Sect, so if they want to seek revenge on Hobert, they have to weigh it themselves.
After Hugh left, Hobert habitually reviewed the battle for the evening, and then entered the "Land of Disorder" to count the spoils.
The biggest trophy is, of course, the "Old Days' Box", a Level 0 seal.
Its ability is okay.,It's divided into three layers.,The first layer is to swap the internal space with a certain area in reality.,The area that enters the box will become a delicate toy.,Life will be like a clockwork doll when it enters the box.,The action is one by one.,And it's difficult to form coherent thinking.。
The second layer records the abyss, the starry sky and other places, and the holder and the surrounding targets will immediately enter a certain space recorded on the second layer, and the only advantage of the holder is that he is prepared, and it is easier to escape from those places, which is basically the ability to die together.
The third layer contains the pollution of the starry sky, and this layer has a certain chance of opening on its own, and all creatures in a certain area around it will die violently or be polluted.
Hobert, sitting on the "Iron Throne", lamented: "Only the first layer is safe. ”
The ability of the third layer is actually a negative effect, and it is scary to think that it will suddenly receive gaze from the starry sky.
Another side effect is that the holder is likely to disappear suddenly.
Again, this is a negative effect that is difficult to guard against.
So Hobart simply sealed it in the "Land of Disorder" and came in to get it when needed.
Finally, there's the naming session, which goes back to not having to consume too many brain cells from Hobart, because the name is ready-made: "0-72" Old Day Box.
……
Long Tail Island, in the Governor's Palace.
Early in the morning, when Hobert came to the bedroom here, Furth really hadn't gotten up yet: "Get up, I have brought you a gift." ”
Furth lay there motionless, explaining what it means to be "unmoved" with practical actions.
Hobert sat on the edge of the bed: "You're going to love it." ”
Furth didn't even lift his eyes, but simply covered his head with a blanket.
"I killed Boutis with Dophis yesterday."
Firth paused for a moment, then sat up suddenly: "Which Boutis?" ”
"It's Boutis, you said before, who defected from the house of Abraham." Hobert smiled and replied, "Did you feel awake immediately?" ”
Forth was stunned for a moment before yawning, as if he had completely woken up at this time: "Did you succeed in your operation with Hugh?" ”
As Hobart said before, he was asking Hugh to investigate the Aurora Society: "Of course, a big win!" ”
Furth leaned over and kissed Hobert: "Awesome! ”
"That's it?"
"Or else?"
"Keep going, of course." Hobert jumped onto the bed and threw Furth to the ground.
"Ahaha, don't kiss your neck so hard, it will leave a mark!"
After some upheaval and rain, Hobert lay on the bed with Furth in his arms: "In a while, I will take people to the air base in the southern part of the sea to prepare to bomb St. Millon." ”
"Don't try too hard. ”
"Of course not." Hobert laughed: "After all, I'm a foreign aider. ”
"I'm going to make a trip to Pritzport and hand over Boutis's head to the teacher," said Forthth. ”
"We have to share the benefits equally." Hobert smiled, "You can't take it alone. ”
"Don't worry, it's all for you!" Folth is very generous and authentic.
Hobert left at nine o'clock in the morning, and Furth struggled for a long time before he could finish the process of getting up, so he simply slept again.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Forth finally got up and changed into a long skirt and a wide-brimmed yarke hat and set off for Pletz Harbor.
Because this time they met again without any advance notice, and still had to go through the next procedure, Forth asked someone to send a letter to Dorian at the Fisheries Association, and marked the letter with the code "safe".
Then they went to a hotel that had been agreed upon a long time ago, and a room that had been agreed upon.
Furth waited in his room for more than twenty minutes, hiding behind the curtains and watching Mr. Dorian wander into the hotel.
After knocking on the door according to the agreed code, opening the door, and gesturing to each other, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Some time ago, Foirth had talked to Hobart about the secret messages between the extraordinary, and she felt that the Abrahams had done a good job of this.
But Hobart said that this kind of code was only used by Hugh's intelligence department, and other official extraordinaries did not have much demand for codes except for some simple ones!
Because they are official extraordinary, and the official extraordinary's residence is not a joint location, but an office place, and they have to be upright, not sneaky.
The thought flashed through Forth's mind, and she smiled, "I'm sorry teacher, but I came to you again this time." ”
Dorian, who had very broad shoulders, also smiled, "Every time you come out of nowhere, it brings me some surprises. ”
As an astrologer, he is very spiritually acute, and Dorian already has a hunch that this time his students will bring him another big surprise.
"As you might expect." "I brought the head of Boutis," said Firth. ”
"Who?"
"Boutis," replied Firth, "is the Boutis you told me about before." ”
"Oh my God, you actually killed Boutis." Dorian sat in his chair in surprise, his face full of disbelief, and he slowed down for a few seconds before he said, "This is what Hobart killed again?" ”
"That's right." Furth said bluntly: "When Hobert was fighting against the forces of the Aurora Society, he and his companions encountered Boutis and the others.
"Because I had mentioned this man to Hobert before, he and his companions killed Bottis."
As he spoke, Furth opened the cloth bag he had brought with him, revealing the treated head.
Dorian didn't know what to say for a while, and in the mouth of his own student, killing an "arcane mage" was as simple as pinching a chicken to death.
He looked at the head, saw Bottis's face, and the unwillingness and surprise before his death, and immediately felt a lot of emotion.
After a while, Dorian said to Furth, "I don't know how to thank Hobert." ”
"You're welcome." Furth smiled, "I just wanted to do something for you." ”
Dorian laughed and said, "I must thank you, or my companions will wonder if you have other purposes." ”
He thought for a moment before saying, "I've read a description of your current situation in the newspaper, and I know that you are not short of money and powerful now, and Hobart can also provide you with excellent and extraordinary resources."
"But I have some information here about our approach, which should be very useful to you.
"Well, in this case, I will give you the potion recipe for 'Traveler' and 'Mystic' after you are promoted, and I will help you prepare for the ceremony of being promoted to 'Mystic'.
"I think Hobert should have the extraordinary traits of 'Traveler' and 'Arcane', then I will provide you with all the supporting materials for these two promotions."
Foirth was about to refuse, but seeing Dorian's determined expression, she had no choice but to say, "Thank you, teacher." ”
She sighed in her heart: What the teacher gave me, Hobert can't use it? How to share with him?
Dorian sighed and said, "The newspaper two days ago said that Hobert was made a duke and could still establish a state in the Southern Continent, is this true?" ”
"It's true." "I also went to his new territory to take a look, it's very vast, but it's not very civilized. ”
"It's rare to see such a young and promising young man." Dorian sighed: "Speaking of which, we only met at your wedding, and we haven't had a good chat yet.
"Please help me relay it to him, I want to say thank you in person."
At this time, Furth, who was already quite politically conscious, realized that Mr. Dorian must have sensed that Hobert's background was unusual and wanted to learn more about it.
"No problem." Furth smiled.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was October 16th, a few days before the Fersak Empire ushered in a heavy snowfall, but after this cold snap passed, the temperature rose again, and the snow just began to melt.
In the early morning, Hobert, who was in the airship command room, saw the white expanse of the earth and felt the bitter cold of this northern country.
"Honorable Divine Servant, the sun is about to rise, and it will enter the densely populated area ahead." Malva, the "Predator Knight" from the Tony family, reminded.
Hobert smiled, "I said that this battle is under your full command. ”
As he spoke, he simply sat by the window, as if continuing to enjoy the scenery outside.
Malwa was chosen by Raymond to be promoted to "Bishop of War".
If you can successfully sneak up on St. Millon, you can definitely achieve the promotion ceremony.
After several days of planning, this formation of 24 airships set off in the middle of the night yesterday, and they first headed west, bypassing the battlefield on the south bank of the Jianhai Sea.
Then all the lights on the airship were turned off, and the sea was crossed in the dark.
After sailing in the dark all night, he finally quietly entered the Vorsack Empire.
The airship formation began to march to the northeast, heading straight for St. Millon.
The winter of the Vorsack Empire, especially when the ice and snow melt and the temperature warms up slightly, is also a season of dense fog, although it is not as strong as the fog in Beckland, but before the sun rises, it can also cover the airship formation well.
Now the sun is about to rise, and there is still an hour or so away from St. Millon, especially in the vicinity of St. Millon, which becomes densely populated and easy to spot at this time.
However, Malva had already discussed this matter with Hobart, and when he saw that Hobart had completely relinquished the position of command to himself, he cleared his throat and ordered: "Start praying!" ”
The herald immediately conveyed the order to the airships in the language of light.
All of a sudden, on every airship, there was a prayer to the "founder".
These people are basically the extraordinary members of the Tony family, as well as the "prayer members" appointed by Malwa.
The soldiers piloting the airship looked indifferent, they knew very well that this mission was a suicide mission, and they had long been mentally prepared to die.
At this time, their hearts are very peaceful, after all, they know where their lives end.
Hobert seems to be looking out the window at the scenery, but in fact he has entered the "Land of Disorder", and according to the expanding stars in the waterhole, he projects a certain amount of power into the real world, "tampering" with the appearance of the airship formation.
From the ground, there was no airship formation in sight, only a cloud floating northward.
Hobert could have "twisted" the position of the formation to get them to the designated place as soon as possible, but that would be easy to startle the snake.
If the royal family of the Vorsack Empire had mastered the "arbiter" approach, Hobert would have said that he would not agree to participate in such a sneak attack.
Because the high-level extraordinaries of this path can have some subtle connections with their own territory, it is easier to detect their sneak attacks.
The high-level extraordinaires of the "Hunter" path have a variety of practical abilities on the battlefield, and they can easily dominate the war, but they have no corresponding connection with their own territory.
Add to that the formation of 24 airships with small targets, which are difficult for them to detect.
In addition, according to the information obtained by Hobert, the angels of the royal family of the Fusak Empire were supervising the battle on the southern shore of the Sea at this time, and the angels of the Church of the God of War were confronting the angels of the Church of the Goddess of the Night in the Amanda Mountains.
This created a gap in St. Millon's defenses, and the airship formation was difficult to detect, at least until the bombs were dropped.
Because the person of the "Creator" is very high, under His "tampering", the demigod-level Extraordinary can only detect something wrong at a relatively close distance.
If it was still far away from St. Millon, and there was a demigod who flew through the sky not far from the airship formation because of an urgent matter, or passed by the road below the formation, it was purely Hobert's bad luck.
The sun appeared on the horizon, shining on the earth and quickly dispelling the fog.
Hobert saw that the villages of the Vorsack Empire were smoking, and the day's work was about to begin.
The Fersak Empire could only produce one crop of grain a year, and after the harvest in August and September, a cold winter followed.
Before the snow covers the mountain, enough firewood is cut to keep you warm throughout the winter.
In previous years, October has entered the stage of rest.
But this year was different, the war began, and the young people of the village were drafted into the army for military training in the summer.
Now they are all on the battlefield on the southern shore of the Sea and in the Amanda Mountains.
The middle-aged people, children, and elderly people in the village all go to the workshops in the town to produce military products.
The whole country is going to continue to function in the harsh winter of this year.
This suddenly reminded Hobart of a theory about "atomic peace", which probably said that after the nuclear bomb, it did not mean that everyone was afraid of destroying the whole world, so they would not engage in a world war.
Rather, the decision-makers who made the war plans, and the capitalists who hoped to profit from the war, were as vulnerable to nuclear weapons as the children of peasants and workers sent to the battlefield, and even more so than the soldiers on the front.
That's why a world war can't be fought.
Hobert took a deep breath and looked at the countryside full of fireworks under his feet: Originally, I thought that the gods were the "nuclear deterrent" of this world, but now it seems that there is still a big difference between the two.
Most of the time, the gods can deter each other, but sometimes, they are the biggest destabilizing factor.
As the sun gradually rises, the view gets better and better.
When the fog cleared completely, St. Milon could already be seen clearly with his goggles.
Malwa took a closer look and began to order the airship formation to make final adjustments to its flight position.
For fear of being detected by the enemy's flickering lights, the airships used flags to communicate with each other.
Everyone held their breath and didn't even dare to speak too loudly.
The palms of Malwa and the other commanders were already full of sweat, and in addition to being nervous, they were also excited.
The bombing target was in sight, and it was getting closer, and it was already possible to see the entry and exit of the wagons in the factories, and the movement of workers carrying goods.
At this time, their inner urgency reached its peak, and they hoped to appear in the sky above the bombing target in the next second.
Suddenly, a fiery snake rose from the ground and swept towards the airship formation.
Malwa commanded loudly: "Stop the attack of the flames!" ”
The "lawyer" of the Tony family, who came to assist in the promotion, "twisted" the fiery snake to the rear and did not hit the airship.
Or was discovered!
This also means that this raid battle has begun, and Malwa ordered: "Ring the bell, do nothing more to hide, and go full speed!"
"Prepare to drop bombs, and if you are unfortunate enough to be hit, drop all the bombs you are carrying before falling."
The commanders of the other airships can hear Malva's orders very clearly!
This is the "Hunter" path demigod, a very practical ability, within a certain range, can communicate orders to his subordinates without obstacles.
Jingle bell~
The electric bells of the 24 airships were sounded almost at once, and all the officers and men of the entire fleet were in place, and the lookouts had opened the lookout glasses in the observation window, ready to guide the bomb dropping.
Woo~
On the ground, a long air defense siren sounded, and in the loud greeting to the ancestors of the Runens, the air defense units on the ground were the first to react, running to carry ammunition, ready to return fire with anti-aircraft machine guns.
But they did not immediately find the target, because at this time on the ground, the airship formation still existed in the form of clouds.
Even the demigods who noticed something was wrong didn't know what was hidden in the cloud, only guessed that it was an airship hot air balloon or something.
At the same time, the demigod sensed that the power of forming the clouds was very advanced, so he did not dare to continue the attack, but prayed to his own angels while giving the air defense force an early warning.
……
In the command room, after giving a series of orders, Malva said to Hobert, "Please help us get to the top of the target as soon as possible." ”
Hober nodded his head, first "amplified" the forward speed of the airship formation, and then in a non-stop "twisting" way, in three or four seconds, it reached the top of the industrial area of St. Millon.
If the "Founder" had intervened, it would have been possible to enter St. Milon sooner.
But that would likely attract the attention of the god of war, and according to the previous agreement between the gods, perhaps he would descend directly.
The "founder" is an empty shelf, and it is okay to be blinded by an angel, but in front of the gods, it may be immediately exposed.
In order to avoid the situation from being out of control at the beginning, Hobart still chose to take matters into his own hands.
……
On the ground, the soldiers of the air defense forces saw that more than 20 airships rushed out of the clouds like arrows from the string, and entered the industrial zone in a blink of an eye.
After a second or two, under the officer's loud command, everyone turned their anti-aircraft machine guns and opened fire into the air, as if they had come to their senses.
……
The Extraordinaires on the airship either "twisted" bullets like tongues of fire, or summoned a wall of fire to block bullets.
However, it was still only able to defend itself against a partial attack, and a bullet swept into the airship, piercing the wooden structure, and several soldiers on the airship who had been shot were cut off by the anti-aircraft bullets, and blood sprayed on the floor.
"Bomb dropping!" Malva didn't care if the position was suitable or not at this time, and immediately ordered: "Don't aim, drop the bomb immediately, drop all the bombs!" ”
Flames rushed from the ground into the sky, and the demigods of the opposing side began to attack!
There were five airships, and not a single bomb was dropped, but they were hit by flames, and a fire ignited, and another explosion occurred, and they fell rapidly to the ground.
The rest of the airships quickly dropped bombs, and in order to drop them quickly, some extraordinary people even simply threw down the bomb bay at one time, and sprinkled it to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers.
Flames on the ground began to strafe the dropped bombs, most of which exploded in mid-air.
Bang~
As Hobert "twisted" the location of the three bombs, letting them explode in the streets of St. Millon.
Malwa immediately gave a loud order: "Retreat, retreat at full speed!" We've won! ”
