Section 185 Another War (Part II)
Standing on the deck of the largest floating ship, Solomon looked into the distance, the purpose of this operation was to surprise Tugenhaben.
It's not hard to defeat Modo, but the trouble is to do your best to achieve domination, not to keep rebels and smoke everywhere, otherwise it will give the outside world a good reason to intervene.
Modo is not a country of Fadel, although this country is not large, but it is the native state of Keos, and Asturias wants to annex it in a way that almost no other Terran country would want to see.
"Are you ready?" said Solomon, turning to the man behind him.
"It's ready. Guerra affirmed.
"Very well, if this time is successful, I will add a Secretary of State to the Parliament, the Queen, and the Cabinet to the Cabinet. Solomon said.
His words made Guerra's body shake slightly, he took a deep breath, stood up straight, and suppressed the surprise in his heart: "I will definitely not let you down." ”
Solomon nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to another man, who was not a powerful warrior or mage, and although he had a sword at his waist, he could tell at a glance that his strength was mediocre.
But on this trip, the role of this person and some people like him is no less than that of the Einsatzgruppen and the mages led by Gra, and it can even be said that after the success of the surprise attack, it depends on whether they can play their full strength.
His name was Raul, and he and the people who came with him were elite generals drawn from Regina's Ministry of Finance and several other ministers, and they were elite generals in government affairs.
Raul was a little embarrassed by Solomon's gaze, "We will do our best, but we must ensure that our decrees are carried out when the time comes." ”
Solomon nodded. "Guerra will cooperate with you. ”――
Weah sat at the table. In front of him was a document waiting for him to sign.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Please sign this document, the kingdom has reached a critical time, we must unite to resist the invasion of Asturias, it is time to recall the Poseidon Legion and Bethof. Count Sheldmont said eagerly, and he simply stood up and walked in front of Weah.
Weah took a deep breath, he also knew that the current situation was strict. Perhaps Beshoff and his corps must really be recalled.
However, he was still a little unwilling, and forced Bethoff to stop intervening in government affairs, and how difficult it was to stay in his legion honestly, which he and the wealthy families of Modo did together, and even the sword saints Primoros and Suasora came forward to force Bethoff back.
Now they want to allow, even beg him to come ashore.
Weah's pen slowly pointed to the signature of the text, but it looked unusually heavy.
I heard that Bethoff also swore that he would not go ashore again, and only wanted to protect the sea for the kingdom, but as long as this document was sent, it was equivalent to the kingdom begging him to return to the shore.
The nib of the pen stopped two or three centimeters away from the paper. Weah said reluctantly, "Xue Demeng, do we have to let him come back? With Primoros and Suasola joining forces, although it is impossible to defeat Asturias, I think it may be possible to delay until outside interference begins, whether it is Titania, the Illuminati, or the Saxons, it is impossible to hope that we are conquered by Asturias, as long as we can hold out for a few days, maybe it will change and get better. ”
"But that's what we need to do with it, Prime Minister Weah, with all due respect, you have allowed power and vendetta to cloud our hearts. Now we only have unity, only unity, do you understand? Yes, as long as we hold on until the outside world reacts, there may be a turnaround, but you also know that over the years, we and Asturias have been too far apart in national strength, and if they only show a fraction of their strength, it will be a disaster for us. Don't leave it to chance, we must go all out, unite our forces to resist this aggression, and never allow the enemy to succeed!" said Count Sherdmont impassionedly, waving his hands.
Modo's prime minister looked at his best friend's excited appearance, and he couldn't help but be moved, and the hesitation just now faltered again.
They have a long feud with Bethof, Modo has always been ruled by the royal family and the great nobles, Weah and the chief archmage of the court Suasola are both famous royalists, while Modo has fewer wealthy families, but they are more concentric, and they have the support of the Sword Saint Primroth behind them, and most of the disciples of the Sword Master are from proud families.
Bethoff was different, his background was very low, his father was a commoner, and his mother was not small, but that origin in Modo only caused him trouble, because his mother was said to be a sea tribe.
Bethof possessed legendary power at sea and some restrictions on land, and his appearance and growth were once idolized by the common people.
Therefore, he was blocked from the court by Weah and the wealthy families back then, and only let him lead the Poseidon Legion, which can be said to be a heavy defeat for the military and political forces from the civilian background, so that Modo continued to be in the hands of the old forces.
Weah reminisced about the past and finally made up his mind.
Sedmon was right when he said that now was the time for unity.
Weah resolutely signed his name on the text, and then took a long breath and said, "Take it to the royal clerk in a while, as long as His Majesty agrees to use the seal, Bethoff can come back." ”
Weah put down his pen, walked slowly to the window, and said faintly: "I hope that when Primrose and they learn about this, they will agree with my decision." ”
Count Schedermon also walked to the window, looked out the window, and comforted his old friend, "Although Lord Sword Saint and those families are arrogant, they are not people who do not care about the overall situation, I believe that the pressure on them from the front line will convince them that our decision to recall Bethoff is correct." ”
Weah nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed, and he pointed to the sky outside the window and shouted, "What is that?
A large four, a small five, a floating ship hovered over the capital of the Modons, Tugenhaben.
This is all the products of Asturias so far after the success of creating floating ships.
The largest flagship was the one Solomon had seen on his visit. At present, it is the only full-featured large floating ship. The other four focus on reconnaissance (one), ground attack (one), and transport (two).
In fact, except for the original large floating ship is the most complete. Only the one used for the attack is built according to normal standards, that's it, because the time is too tight, and it only has the power to attack the enemy, the magic array sequence arranged on it is mainly aimed at the ground, and there is only time to install some mechanical auxiliary attack means against the air, such as the anti-air giant crossbow.
In addition, the reconnaissance ship only strengthened the flight speed of the magic circle, barely achieving the reconnaissance purpose, and the transportation of the two ships was even worse. It is the most urgent work, in order to be able to be used in this battle plan and omitted too much, even the air protection wind force of the circle has been omitted, only the flight and the feather fall for take-off and landing to form the sequence of the array, that is, can only fly and take off and land, if attacked in the air, the floating ship can hardly provide any protection, and it is not like the reconnaissance floating ship has the advantage of speed.
Fortunately, it was enough for this operation, and the five floating ships hovered above the royal capital, covering a small part of the sky of Tugenhaben like a dark cloud. Formation of shadows.
On deck, Solomon began to give commands.
"Herald. All ships remain suspended, combat floating ships are ready to attack the enemy, and transport ships are also ready. ”
"Flagship, the Interference Magic Array is activating. ”
A series of orders were issued from Solomon's supreme command office, and the surprise attack on Tugenhaben began.
Although Modo is a small country, the kingdom cooperated with the Magician Guild to build a magic array to protect the royal capital, which can form a protective shield for the royal capital once it is opened, and can gather the power of the magic circle to enhance the strength of its own strong people.
At the beginning, the Iron Lord Freyas was in charge of the royal capital circle similar to St. Quentin, and although Tugenhaben's magic circle may not be as good as St. Quentin, it has the same effect.
Of course, Solomon can fight against this circle with his own strength, but if the one from the Poseidon Legion rushes back and gets the help of the circle, it will inevitably add to the variables.
The most important part of this battle is to capture the king of Modo and the prime minister of Weah, and then coerce them to obtain some name to reduce resistance and trouble, so if they cannot be allowed to escape, it is necessary to interfere with Tugenhaben's guardian magic array.
Fortunately, the Wizards' Guild has ambiguously provided the guardian circle that was built for Modo back then, which was built by the Magicians Guild when it was able to gain a foothold in Tugenhaben and get Modo's support, but now with the good relationship between the Wizards' Guild and Asturias, although it is not too explicit, it is no problem to secretly provide relevant information.
It was also based on these materials that the Magic Guide Research Institute quickly came up with a targeted interference circle, but the interference circle needed to have a fixed place to continue to operate.
Luckily, there was a large floating ship on board that could carry the jamming circle and then jam Tugenhagen from the air.
Moreover, this is mental arithmetic or unintentional, and the interference circle will interfere before Tugenhaben's guardian circle is activated, and the interference effect will be better.
"Gra, ordered the secret guards and the Einsatzgruppen on each ship to begin preparations, the target, the palace of the Modo and the Prime Minister's palace. ”――
"Alarm, alarm!" said Xue Demeng, he was not sure who was in the air, and he had never seen a floating ship before.
But he had a gut feeling that he was an enemy, and most likely an Asturian.
Weah also woke up from the shock, he rushed straight out of the office, and the rest of the Prime Minister's Office also noticed the anomaly in the air, and the chief of the guard, Iko, was running over to report to Weah.
Weah had already said urgently: "You immediately lead your troops to defend the palace, their target is most likely the palace." ”
"But your lordship, you .......," Iko said worriedly.
But as if he hadn't heard his words, Weah waved his hand and said, "Also, immediately let the remaining palace mages activate the royal capital guardian array." “
Then he seemed to remember something, "And this text, let the royal family use the seal, and then let a court mage use flying magic to meet Beshof, and ask him to come to Tugenhaben's aid." (To be continued......)
