As long as a bomb was detonated on the ground of St. Millon, the purpose of the raid was achieved.

So Malva ordered: retreat immediately!

Some airships have not yet dropped all their bombs, so they turn while dropping them.

The route of the retreat was also planned long ago, retreating from the direction of the slums, where there was not much air defense.

Hobert again "amplifized" the flight speed of the airship formation.

The airship shook violently, and in order to reduce weight at the beginning of the redesign, most of the structure of the airship was made of wood and alloy, and it would fall apart if it was fast.

Soon, the airship formation exceeded the range of the anti-aircraft machine guns, but everyone did not dare to be careless, because the extraordinary ones stationed in St. Milon were still following closely, and between the sky and the ground, there were constant battles between the extraordinary ones.

Immediately afterward, Hobert continued to use the "twisted" ability to get the airship out of the city as soon as possible.

At this moment, fireballs like meteorites pierced through the clouds and struck towards the airship formation, their speed was extremely fast, and Hobart and the other demigods only had time to block some of them.

Bang~

There were explosions in the sky one after another, most of the airships were penetrated from top to bottom, and the large airbags of the airships were like deflated balls, and before the hydrogen in them could be exposed, a fire ignited, and an explosion occurred, like a leaf that had been ignited, and fell rapidly.

After these "meteorites" passed through the airbags, they hit the pod very accurately, and the officers and soldiers and extraordinary people inside were basically killed immediately, and there was no time to rescue them.

Malwa and the other commanders fell silent, and in the blink of an eye, there were only 8 airships left in the airship formation.

Hobert knew that this was the return of the angels of the Vorsack Empire.

At this time, regardless of the agreement between the gods, Hobert immediately entered the spirit realm and appeared in a wooded area south of St. Millon.

As previously agreed, Malva saw Hobart leave and immediately ordered: "Pray! ”

The members of the Tony family immediately began to pray, but the Rune officers and soldiers on the airship had completely given up their escape and were attacking the ground with the machine guns on the airship.

There were even officers and soldiers laughing maniacally and shooting aimlessly at the rear with pistols and rifles.

Today they did a very crazy thing, avenging the enemy's bombing of Beckland, and they knew that their mission had been accomplished!

Although many of them didn't know about the Extraordinary One, and they didn't quite understand what was going on with those fireballs and fiery snakes from the ground, they also knew that they would definitely not be able to go back.

This is the hinterland of the enemy country, and they only have 8 airships left, and they can't escape the interception of the pursuers and the airships that the enemy has placed in the sea, and they didn't even bring much fuel for the return trip in order to make the airships lighter.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers have completely given up and are ready to die in the next second.

Hobert, who appeared in the woods, instantly built the "Spirit Wall", entered the "Land of Disorder", picked up the "0-72" Doomsday Box on the handrail, opened the first layer, and projected his power towards the agitated stars in the waterhole.

……

At this time, the second round of attacks from the Angels of the Vorsack Empire began, this time the fireballs were denser than the previous one, and the demigods' abilities could not protect the airship.

Just when they were very nervous, wondering if the "founder" would give up on them, a majestic figure sitting in the midst of a sword suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The dark light that solidified around him was divine, and it exuded an aura that made people dare not look at it directly.

He had a silver-black jewelry box in his hand, and when he opened the first floor, the eight airships disappeared immediately.

The extremely fast fireballs collided with each other and exploded in mid-air, without hitting any targets.

Immediately, that majestic figure disappeared immediately!

……

The industrial area of Saint-Millon.

Vasily, the head of the Berkron Intelligence Bureau, sat in a carriage and watched as firefighters and workers put out the fire.

At present, the fire has been brought under control and the search and rescue operation has begun, but the people are still a little panicked, and many people on the streets are looking blankly at the factory that has just been bombed, and they are a little overwhelmed for a while.

Crying could also be faintly heard, the voices of people who had lost loved ones in the bombing.

With a high nose bridge and pale yellow hair, Vassi's face was cold, and no one expected that Rune would carry out an air attack on St. Millon, because theoretically, their air power was pinned.

The air raid of only 20 airships is very ridiculous.

After all, with that amount of ammunition, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the Fusak Empire.

But what's even more ridiculous is that the Fusak Empire actually let 8 of the more than 20 airships escape!

This result was hard to accept, but even more unacceptable was the fact that a god-like being covered them up.

It wasn't William I, nor any god Vasily was familiar with.

Although there is no definitive information, Vasily has already guessed that it should be the "founder"!

Last year, when the Balk family broke out in an extraordinary war with the "Rose School", Vasily received information about the "founder".

But what he didn't expect was that the "founder" would enter the war so quickly.

At this time, an intelligence officer came quickly and handed over the statistics that had just been made to Vasily.

Vasily took a look, closed the windows, closed the curtains, and disappeared from the compartment.

Two seconds later, he appeared on a manor house on the outskirts of St. Milon with an iconic building: a tall stone tower.

It is said that the stone tower is more than 1,000 years old, and it looks very rough, and the stone tower is not thinner at the top, but has a round, attic-like structure at the top.

Vasily's destination was there, and after being questioned by the guards at the bottom of the tower, he quickly climbed the stairs, and in the luxurious room at the top, he met the middle-aged man dressed in the traditional costume of the Fusak Empire.

The middle-aged man's pale yellow beard is very delicately groomed, and the hair is not very long, but it is not the short hair that is popular now, but the shoulder-length hair that was popular in ancient times.

If a historian sees this middle-aged man, he will definitely sigh: too much like the founder of the Vrsack Empire, His Majesty Alexei.

In fact, this is none other than the first emperor of the Vorsack Empire, Alexei Einhorn.

When the war began, the emperor in St. Millon's palace was more like a "logistics minister", providing all kinds of logistical supplies to the front line to keep the empire running normally.

His Majesty Alexei is the highest decision-maker in military operations.

Vasily knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the losses from this air raid have been counted. ”

Alexei looked out the window, in the distance in the city of St. Millon: "How many factories will stop production?" ”

"There are only two." "None of the factories were too important, and it was the fire after the bombing that destroyed some important machinery that had to be shut down, and it would take a maximum of twenty days to resume production," Vasily reported.

"There are five other factories that have suffered varying degrees of damage, but none of them have had a significant impact.

"According to current statistics, nine people were killed in the attack and dozens more were injured."

Alexei suddenly laughed: "One of Rune's airships must also have more than a dozen officers and soldiers, right?" ”

Vasily replied: "Generally around 20 people. ”

At this, the two of them also quieted down, because they also knew that as long as a bomb fell on St. Millon, Rune's surprise attack would be equivalent to victory in the battle, and the soldiers of Rune's air force who died in the sky above St. Milon were also very valuable.

Vasily was just about to say something, but Alexei's eyes suddenly froze: "There is also a curtain call for this performance!" ”

Vasily was stunned for a moment, and then his spirit seemed to sense something, and he looked into the air on St. Milon's side.

I saw a figure suddenly appear in mid-air, he was wearing a knight's uniform, he looked handsome, and he smiled and bowed slightly to this side.

It's really like an actor's curtain call after the performance!

Intelligence Chief Vasily immediately recognized: "Hobert! Rune's new duke, Horbert! ”

Then he looked at Alexei: "Your Majesty, he ......"

"That's not who he is." Alexey said coldly.

At this time, several "blazing white spears" were launched from the ground into the air, and the moment they touched Hobert, there was a "bang", and he turned into a mirror.

Vasily clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "This guy is too arrogant! Your Majesty, this is a provocation! ”

Alexei said, "I heard that in the extraordinary war that happened in the South Coulson region before, the Witch Sect fell an angel? ”

Vasily took a deep breath before saying, "According to the information we have received, it is like this. ”

Alexei let out an "um" sound, "It seems that the angel has become a level 0 seal." ”

Then he said, "Contact Jonas and let him get in touch with the Balk family." ”

Jonas was a satrap of the Vorsack Empire in the Southern Continent, controlling General Anthony's domain.

The Balk family, on the other hand, cooperated with General Anthony and Jonas at the beginning, and participated in the extraordinary management of a part of General Anthony's territory.

Vasily also calmed down: "To test whether the 'founder' has been bought by the Kingdom of Rune?" ”

"It must have been bought, didn't you report that this Duke named Hobart got the privilege of being able to establish a state in the Southern Continent?" Alexei said: "The test is whether the 'founders' are satisfied with such a buy. ”

Whether as an emperor or as a "conqueror", it is rare to feel angry. He had always been very calm, not like Vasily trying to restrain his anger.

Alexei sighed, "We don't have the strength to go to war with the forces of the 'founder' anymore.

"It's best to hold them down before there is too much conflict."

……

Somewhere over the southern shore of the Sea.

The space in mid-air suddenly became illusory, and Hobert stepped out of the spirit world, temporarily levitating himself in mid-air by "tampering" with gravity.

Just now, he used the "curtain call" of the "0-71" disaster porcelain puppet, or the provocation, to make the potion digest to a large extent.

This made Hobert smile and said, "It seems that the first emperor of the Vorsack Empire saw my performance. ”

Not only Alexei, but a large number of extraordinaries and ordinary people saw Hobert's arrogant provocation, and most of the extraordinaries were very angry and thought that Hobart was too arrogant!

But most of the population was terrified, even into a certain degree of panic.

Whatever the reaction, it was feedback that Hobert desperately needed.

Taking a deep breath, Hobert prayed to himself to enter the "Land of Discord" through his own stars, throw his power into the real world, open the "0-72" doomsday box, and release the eight airships.

The eight airships were also somewhat damaged, with many broken cables, and they looked a little crooked when flying.

Hobart takes back the power of the "Founder" and returns to the real world, using the "twisted" ability to return to the command room.

At this time, the people in the command room were a little dazed, and they didn't feel anything just now, but they came to a strange airspace after a stunned effort!

St. Milon is gone, the tongues of fire of the anti-aircraft machine guns are gone, the flames that rose from the ground are gone, and with a terrifying roar, the meteorite that wants to harvest life is gone!

Hobert drew a flat rectangle on his chest, then a vertical one: "Praise the Founder!" ”

Only then did Malwa and the others come back to their senses and follow Hobart to make a gesture representing the "Founder": "Praise the Founder!" ”

In their opinion, this escape was all due to the great power of the gods displayed by the "founder"!

It's just that what they don't know is that the "founder" didn't have such "great power" ten days ago, and it was only after the Aurora Society was severely damaged that they had such power.

At this time, the officer of the airship, Locker, came over and asked, "Sir, may I ask what kind of god is the 'founder' you just praised?" ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers also reacted that they were not dead!

For a while, some of them wept with joy, some were very dazed, and some of them were like Locker, who had already realized that they had been saved by these demigods and the gods believed in Sequence 5.

It was also the first time they had experienced the power of the gods!

So Hobert immediately turned into a god stick and began to preach: "The Lord awoke from the chaos and saw that the order of the world was so unbearable that morality was no longer the measure of whether a person was good or not, but money was; Violence pervades every corner of this world and is whitewashed with gods and domination; Vicious gangsters live a good life, but people who really love life and are kind work all day long and have no time to enjoy life. ”

He continued: "Then the Lord lamented: 'Humanity in the Fifth Age was even more miserable than in the Second Age, and at least in the Second Age mankind rarely killed and deceived each other. So Jesus intends to overthrow the existing order and establish a new order on earth! ”

Malwa and others, too, heard for the first time the purpose advocated by the "founder", and they remembered it with their hearts and seemed very religious.

After hearing about this purpose and the help of some "founders" to the people, Locker and other officers naturally became shallow believers of the "founders" and said that they would go to Longwei Island to worship.

Hobert said, "My lord has no church, only subjects.

"But you are welcome to visit Longwei Island and witness the changes that the Founder's ideas will bring to the world."

After talking to several officers for a while, Malva was able to take the potion under Hobert's watch, and the bombing of St. Milon was a very successful promotion ceremony, allowing Malva to complete the promotion very smoothly.

This made Hobert sigh: This way is to need war, to be promoted quickly, to quickly digest potions.

……

"Nickname Outside! Rune Air Force Attacks St. Millon! ”

In the evening of the same day, the streets and alleys of Rune were filled with the "trumpet" sounds of newsboys.

Passers-by stopped to buy newspapers, and the stacks of newspapers were sold out in a moment.

Leonard, who had just gotten out of the public carriage, also bought a newspaper, and he lamented: "The Rune Air Force must have suffered heavy losses this time." ”

But after reading the newspaper, he was completely stunned, so he went to 24 airships and returned 8!

How did the military do it?

But after seeing the commander about this battle later, Leonard instantly understood.

According to the newspaper, there were three commanders of the air raid, the main planner was Duke Hobert, the commander-in-chief was Lord Malva, and the deputy commander was Major General Locker.

In Leonard's opinion, this chief planner is very crucial, it must be the "founder" who helped them escape from St. Millon, otherwise it is only 24 airships, and there is no possibility of returning!

That's when Leonard realized: "The Founders" supported Rune?

……

At this time, at the Sodrak Palace, a grand celebratory ball was taking place.

The three protagonists of this ball are Hobert, Malva and Lockell.

Hobart was accustomed to such entertainment, and could give the right response to the nobles, either compliments or inquiries.

Occasionally, he would show his modesty, saying that he had little credit for the battle, and that it was all due to the planning of the royal family and the military.

For a while, the atmosphere of the party was happy, and Hobert, who had made such a great contribution and was very modest, was full of praise.

It's just that in Hobert's view, it's just "after-sales service".

Not long after returning to the Kingdom of Rune, Hobart received news from Todd that the royal family of Rune had promised to support the 13 major and 22 minor techniques that Hobert had previously proposed.

Initially, Hobart was supporting 15 major items and 22 minor items.

In the previous negotiations between Hobart and Alice, even when Alice released water, one-third of the technical support was cut.

At that time, Hobert thought that the price was quite good, after all, it was impossible to empty out Rune's hundreds of years of technology accumulation at once.

But after the end of this sneak attack, except for the technology of the ship and airship proposed by Hobert, he was not given, and all the other technologies were given!

After thinking about it for a while, Hobart realized that it should be that the Kingdom of Rune did not expect that the "Founder" would be able to strike in such a battle.

Theoretically, for the gods, they don't care about the lives and deaths of several demigods.

Not to mention the gods, even William I didn't plan to help the officers on the 24 airships escape, not because they were cruel, but at their level, they didn't care about these at all.

However, the reaction of the "Founders" exceeded their expectations, and they also heard that Malwa had taken the opportunity to be promoted to "Bishop of War".

The point is that the nature of the "founder" is different after he makes a move, first of all, this is a help from the gods, which is inherently priceless.

In addition, this is tantamount to a side of the "founder", which, in the eyes of William I, is showing his support for the kingdom of Rune.

The last reason was the return of 8 airships, which made Rune's victory even more complete.

Although William I and others felt that the "founder" made a bit of a fuss at the beginning of the war, the respect that should be given was still to be given.

So the royal family of Rune decided to pay more technology, but on the condition that Hobart cooperate with the royal family to promote this victory, and that the Duchy of Southern Bailang declare war on the colonial forces of the Vorsack Empire on the southern continent.

With the anxiety of the war, Rune currently needs a large number of soldiers, and they plan to buy the teleportation array blueprints in Hobert's hand, build the teleportation array between the northern and southern continents themselves, and send soldiers from the colonies to participate in the war.

Then there needs to be a force to hold back the colonial army of the Visak Empire in the south of the Southern Continent, and the Principality of South Bailang is an excellent choice.

So after Hobert returned to Beckland, he first started a second round of negotiations with the royal family, and after negotiating the conditions, Hobert would cooperate so much at the ball.

Otherwise, he would have returned to the Duchy of South Bailang a long time ago to deal with the affairs of the kings and generals there, so how could he have time to talk nonsense with these nobles?

As for Malva and Locker, it was only after they returned that they became lords and major generals.

Before this, one of them had never been in contact with the aristocracy, and the other was a major yesterday, and it was a little cramped to suddenly come to such an occasion.

Throughout the ball, it was basically Hobert socializing with the nobles.

Hobart has been so busy recently, and Audrey was able to say a few words to Hobart at today's ball: "I can only say that this battle of yours is a miracle!" ”

Hobart noticed that Audrey's compliments were a bit reluctant, and he knew that Audrey didn't want to get involved in the war.

He smiled and said, "In two days, I will take you to the Principality of South Bailang for a walk." ”

Audrey was sincerely happy and said, "Good! ”

She had long wanted to visit the Duchy of South Bailang, but Hobert had never sent an invitation, and she was not in a position to ask directly.

After Hobert spent the next two days in Beckland, attending many interviews and socializing, the round of publicity for the royal family of Rune finally came to an end.

I have to say that this sneak attack has greatly improved the morale of the front-line soldiers, and it is said that the two fronts with the Fusak Empire have been stabilized.

The newspaper also said that the momentum of the Fersak Empire's surprise attack had been blocked, and the next phase would be a stalemate.

Hobert completed the "after-sales service" and took Audrey to Angelou, the capital of the Duchy of South Bailang, as agreed.

Nowadays, many colorful tents of all sizes have been erected outside the city of Angelo.

It was the residence of the kings and generals, and now the agents of the Duchy of South Bailang had arrived, waiting for the Duke of Hobert to summon them.

Audrey glanced at the city walls: "I didn't expect there to be such an exquisite city. ”

"You could just say it's small." Hobert smiled: "After a while, the land reform in the principality is completed, and these four walls will be torn down and a lot of expansion work will be carried out." ”

Coming down from the city walls, Hobert introduced Audrey to some of the customs of the Southern Continent and strolled to the headquarters.

Conrad, Donna and the others all knew that Hobart was coming today, and they had been waiting here for a long time, ready to have a meeting with Hobart to discuss some matters.

They were all stunned when they saw Audrey beside Hobert, there were many witches in Angelou City at this time, but compared to Audrey, it was still a little worse.

The point is, Audrey is holding Hobert's arm, and the two seem very close.

It wasn't until Donna naturally called "sister-in-law" that everyone reflected and probably understood what was going on.

Hobert nodded in satisfaction: Donna must be given a chicken leg for dinner!
