Chapter 227: Return to Hanging City
The Kingdom of Belmar has joined forces with the Delos Empire.
The Hayabusa Regiment fought with the Expeditionary Force.
Midi Asrex, Belmar's "Sword of Victory and Protection", and the fourth prince of the Empire, the handsome and elegant Reinhardt, shook hands peacefully!
Although this alliance between the two sides was just a small test of the waters, without any official announcement and national contract, it was just based on a verbal agreement, and it was limited to the battlefield of Sky City, but it still caused a lot of shock.
The Dragonman tribe doesn't matter, in their opinion, humans are all the same.
But for the warriors of the Falcon Regiment, such an alliance, even if it is only a verbal agreement, and Midi has already discussed it with Kelvin and others at the beginning, and with psychological preparation, it still takes a certain amount of time to be able to digest it psychologically.
After all, just at the beginning of the year, they were still fighting against the invading army of the Empire in Glen Forest, and then they had countless secret wrestling in the streets and alleys of the West Coast, and the biggest enemy suddenly became an ally, which is not a matter of words.
As for the Delos Empire, I am afraid that it feels even more indignant. Not to mention how many Imperial people Midi slaughtered before and after, just his swaggering solo into the middle of the Imperial army, and easily blocking the full attack of hundreds of people, was enough to provoke and stimulate the nerves of these arrogant soldiers.
Fortunately, the commanders on both sides are strong enough.
Naturally, Midi doesn't need to say much, not to mention his personal strength and prestige, so far, he has never made any mistakes in the decisions he made in the general direction, even if the members of the Falcon Regiment have some contradictions in their hearts, they will never question Midi's orders, and they haven't even thought about it.
Although Reinhardt lacks prestige, he has gained the approval of the soldiers thanks to the command and run-in of these days.
Moreover, although he was ostracized, he was a prince after all, and he was also a prince with excellent talents.
The most important thing is that in this life, there is no real national enmity between Belmar and the Delos Empire.
In the previous life, the Delos Empire occupied Belmar and slaughtered how many people, how many homes were raided, how many noble lords were cut off? For Midi and Fina, the empire was the culprit who forced them to leave their homeland and kill their relatives, and there was no possibility of reconciliation, only the choice of life or death.
But in this life, although Midi, who is reborn, is still extremely jealous of the empire, it is precisely under this jealousy that Belmar rises in the hands of Midi and contends with the empire.
The invasion of the empire and the scramble for the west coast made the relationship between the two sides extremely tense and conflicted, but after all, it still did not reach the level of "hatred".
After all, war always brings death and sacrifice, which is something that has been psychologically prepared for a long time.
It was a combination of these factors that led to the decision to "ally with the Empire", and to grasp the weakness of the somewhat unlucky Fourth Prince Reinhardt in the first place, and appropriately bring it into his own rhythm, and simply achieved this goal.
Time flew by, and soon, it was the seventh day, the day after the last day of the agreement between Midi and the Lord of Light.
During these seven days, the Lord of Light simply shrunk his formation, summoning almost all the destroyers back to the Hanging City, leaving almost no troops in the Three Towers Tree Sea, and only monitoring them, and not attacking Midi's troops.
This is not to say that the Lord of Light is merciful, but because this arrogant and powerful man prefers simple, violent, and direct crushing.
Sending a large number of expulsors like this, conducting all kinds of reconnaissance, and then encircling and eating away at the opponent little by little, was not at all in line with the appetite of the City Lord of Light.
It's like a stout butcher who slaughters a sheep and wears armor, is fully armed, careful, and even has to study tactics before daring to enter the sheepfold.
Seghardt simply disdained that.
Midi wants to fight to the death in a week, and he gives the other party this time.
Just as a sheep bleating and begging to fatten for another week, the butcher will also herd it for another week without hesitation, this is the attitude of the strong, the magnanimity of the higher. Before, when Midi swaggered directly into the Imperial military camp, why didn't he also have the same mentality, so he deliberately let go of those Imperial soldiers who attacked him?
Hanging City, Mountains of Stars.
On top of the highest peak of this mist-shrouded mountain range, you can see a round of light like a cold silver moon hovering over the mountain peak.
It was none other than Seghardt, the Lord of the City of Light.
He's been hovering here for a whole week. There was no breathing, no movement, not even stretching and moving limbs, like a statue that had been beaten through the wind and rain, just waiting quietly.
For a magical lifeform that is tireless, this level of stillness is nothing more than a gesture.
Moreover, while not moving at all, in fact, Seghart has completely mastered the flow of magic in the entire Hanging City, and the range that can be scanned has been directly doubled, and the magic power that can burst out in an instant has also increased.
Since it is crushing, of course, it must be crushed a little more freely. For the City Lord of Light, who reigns at the apex of the combat power of the Arad continent, this can be regarded as one of the few pleasures he has felt.
"Hmph, although it's an ant, it's a bit of guts, and I didn't have to do such a stupid act as running away, and I don't have to chase and kill it. Suddenly, the City Lord of Light, who had been in the air for a week, finally opened his eyes that were burning with cold fire.
He cast his gaze into the distance, the edge of the Hanging City, the direction of the Humanoid Master's Tower, and then, slowly, raised his right hand, a little bit.
A slender but extremely sharp white line crossed the sky in an instant, pierced through the clouds, penetrated the air, broke through the speed of sound, and instantly arrived under the tower of the humanoid division!
The Delos Imperial Army, which had just come out of the tower and had just spread out its formation, only saw a white light in front of them, let alone evasion or defense, and they didn't even have time to think.
But at this moment, a black-haired figure rose from the military formation, and a golden-red sword slashed upwards with an incomparably powerful momentum, directly shattering the laser that broke through the sky.
Ghost swordsman skill, ghost slash.
This is the simplest and most basic skill, but in the hands of today's Midi, it has changed dramatically.
Where the white light collided with the red glow, two distinct forces annihilated each other, causing the air to boil, the magic to stir, and even the surrounding scenery to distort as a result.
This whole process seems to be a long time, but in fact it is only a short moment. In the blink of an eye, the red light had already faded, and the white light shot by the City Lord of Light was torn apart under this blow, turning into four or five streams of chaotic magic, cutting through the arc of high temperature in mid-air, and then falling to the ground like a burning meteor.
But even with the loss of speed and cohesion, these fragmented manas caused one violent explosion after another as they fell, and the ground trembled visibly as the black mushroom cloud rose high.
If this blow is solid, the Imperial Army will be directly wiped out in an instant, at least three centurions.
Just like in his previous life, the strength of the City of Light Lord Seghart has not changed at all, and he is still the terrifying powerhouse who can pair three thousand.
It's just that in this life, there is Midi, an extraordinary awakened person, so the invincible laser attack was blocked for the first time.
Rao is like this, the imperial soldier who has always regarded honor as his life, his face involuntarily turned pale.
The enemy can't even see a shadow, so he shoots a blow from the sky, and the power is still so great, how can this be fought?
The previous group of necromancers had basically been wiped out along with Wiseman, and these elites had been remobilized from Farowan, and it was the first time they had seen the terrifying power of the City Lord of Light that made people unable to resist at all, and it was natural that they would be afraid of it.
And at the same time, they looked at Midi's gaze, which suddenly became extremely complicated.
If you put it all together, Midi Asrex is a ...... A sworn enemy who has protected the Imperial?
Even Reinhardt himself had a glint in his blue eyes.
The so-called "allies" who can block such a terrible attack, after winning the victory, can really be restrained by their own hole cards?
After the fall of the City Lord of Light, will this unambiguous "Sword of Victory and Protection" turn around and give himself such a beat?
Reinhardt had no answer in his heart, but he found that he had no other choice, and he had no time to think.
"What are you doing there?" Glancing at the Imperial Army, which was a little sluggish, Midi frowned slightly, "If you don't want to die, just disperse immediately!"
"Sir Midi, you don't need to say more, just leave it to me here. Reinhardt took a step forward and said in a calm but unyielding tone, and then he immediately turned to his men, "Don't think about it, your only task now is to win at all costs!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The Imperial soldiers who came back to their senses were reprimanded like this, and there was finally no confusion in their eyes.
That's right, they are soldiers, and their only mission is to burn their lives on the battlefield, and they don't need to think about those political issues at all, they just need to fight!
Another laser burst through the air, and Midi struck again, slashing it through the air.
But this time, the Imperial soldiers were no longer distracted, but quickly broke into pieces, divided into countless groups of hundreds, and quickly merged into the ruins and forests of the Hanging City.
Just one sentence can stabilize the morale of the army and clarify the goal, should it be said that he is worthy of being the future prince of light?
Midi nodded inwardly.
Now that the first step of the strategy has been successfully implemented, the next step is to look at yourself.
Thinking like this, Midi cast his gaze into the distance, the peak in the middle of the Hanging City, which rose from the ground like a thousand miles.
There is no reconnaissance, and there is no need for it.
Seghart, the Lord of Light, the masterpiece of Tyrannosaurus King Bakar and the guardian of Sky City, awaits him there.
"Come to war!" said so softly, Midi suddenly turned into a golden-red sword and flew into the sky, soaring into the sky.
