In the city of Nicaea, 100,000 Eastern Roman troops were sent to various parts of the city to clean up the rubbish and wreckage left behind by the disaster and the battle. Narcis and Iakos stood on the wall, inspecting the extent of the damage and discussing the military situation.

It was still drizzling in the sky, and thick dark clouds were covering the earth in a low voice. Suddenly, the golden-robed mage saw several familiar black dots appear in the sky in the distance, and his heart tightened and he hurriedly fixed his eyes. After a few moments, the black dot grew larger and larger, finally breaking through the clouds, revealing its massive hull made entirely of metal. I saw that the remaining ten battleships were all wounded, the armor loaded on the outer layer was seriously damaged, the hull was full of smoke, and sparks were spewed from time to time.

"It's our floating fleet...... No, it seems a little inappropriate!" Iakos beside him was surprised: "What's the matter, why are all these warships damaged, is it because they have encountered a strong enemy?"

Narcis frowned and said, "The fortress of Adolbeis was attacked by the Trojans, and this is the floating fleet I sent back to support, and it seems that it has been defeated. ”

The general defending the city turned his head and said with a solemn expression: "Adolbeis was attacked by different enemies on the same day as the city of Nicaea?

The golden-robed mage nodded, waved his hand, and said, "You're right, come with me and ask what's going on." ”

The two soon arrived at the place where the defeated fleet had landed, just as several dejected generals and a large number of air fighters were emerging from the badly damaged flagship of the air battleship, the Samoneh. Narcisse stepped forward quickly and asked the commander of the fleet at the helm, "Magara." How's the battle going in Abydos?"

Air Force General Mogara was so ashamed that he fell to his knees and couldn't help sobbing and said: "Defeated! We have been completely defeated by the enemy! Abydos has fallen, and the life and death of Admiral Mendez are uncertain. The defenders suffered numerous casualties! The floating fleet also suffered heavy losses, and we were powerless to resist the enemy, so we had to abandon our friendly forces and flee back in order to preserve our strength. It's my incompetence and cowardice, please punish me!"

When Narsis, Iakos and the others heard the tragic news, they were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears! Everyone was speechless for a long time before the golden-robed mage asked in a trembling voice, "How could it have been defeated so badly, the Abydos Fortress has strong defenses and all kinds of facilities. The firepower and food were abundant, and tens of thousands of heavily armed fighters and floating fleets were stationed to assist, so it was reasonable to say that even if they were defeated. At least it should be able to hold out for a while! But it's only been less than half a day, why did it fall completely!"

The air force general sighed, "It is said that the enemy first sent a black dragon to attract the attention of our troops, and then sent a strange puppet of incomparably hard to rush to the front of the fortress when we were not paying attention. A huge gap was opened in the city walls. General Mendez in order to fight back. Take the risk of dismantling the magic cannon behind the fortress and installing it on the street to bombard the enemy, successfully destroying the opponent's puppet, and personally leading the ironclad paladon to kill the enemy troops who rushed into the fortress. But what I didn't expect was that there were two black dragons in the enemy's army! When I led the fleet to Abydos, they had already taken advantage of the emptiness of the defense behind the fortress, broke the city wall, and rushed in with the rebellious Anatonian legions! General Mendez was flanked from the front and rear and could not support it. Soon it was a rout. And our fleet is not the opponent of the other side Black Dragon at all, and the defeat is irretrievable. We had no choice but to retreat immediately......"

After listening to Megaara's words, everyone was stunned, no wonder the fortress was captured so easily, it turned out that there were two black dragons among the enemy army! But what the hell is going on? They couldn't help but look at each other, could it be that the population of the dragon clan has increased greatly recently, have they all come out to eat in the human country?!

As if muttering to himself, "Black dragon, how is it a black dragon?" one of them must be the abominable reptile named Elrense......! Has the Black Sea Dragon Island decided to side with the Olympia Alliance?!"

The thought that the mysterious Black Sea Dragon Island might participate in the war, the golden-robed mage couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, this terrifying dragon kingdom had swept the entire Black Sea coast with its unrivalled strength more than a hundred years ago, and there was no country that could compete with it at all. Now, after years of silence, the terrible shadow of Dragon Island has once again fallen on the heads of human nations, and Eastern Rome is the first to bear the brunt, how should this country, which has been exhausted by a long war, deal with it?

Everyone was silent for a while, and the general of the city, Iakos, opened his mouth to persuade: "My lord, the fortress of Abydos is a strategic point between Troy and Nicaea, and once it is lost, the city of Nicaea will always face a direct threat from the enemy. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold is not stable now, quickly send troops to recapture the fortress, I am willing to act as a striker, and I will definitely fight off the enemy to the death!"

After thinking for a moment, Narcisse shook his head: "Now that the situation has changed, after the Anatonian Legion is released, it will definitely be rearmed. In this way, the strength of the enemy army will be greatly increased, and most of them are veterans with combat experience, which is not much different from us! In addition, the other side still has two black dragons in charge, and it is difficult for us to be sure of victory even if the whole army attacks. If the Mermaid Kingdom takes advantage of the air defense of Nicaea City at this time and goes back again, then we can't take care of the whole thing, and the front road is blocked and the back road is intercepted, won't the situation be even worse?"

Iakos was speechless, the golden-robed mage was right, now that the enemy situation was unknown, and the Eastern Romans were frustrated everywhere, they were afraid that they would suffer even more severe losses if they dared to attack. But if you give up Abydos like this, you are unwilling.

The general who defended the city gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, are we going to forget about it?"

Narcis sighed and said, "I will ask Your Majesty for reinforcements, and before that, please take the general out of the city and collect the remnants of the defeated army from Abydos everywhere possible." However, if you encounter an enemy, please retreat immediately, and do not waste your troops in a head-on confrontation with the opponent. Our main task at the moment is to do everything we can to defend Nicaea!"
