287: Two Black Dragons!

After the huge explosion caused by the close-range salvo of the magic cannon, the thick smoke like a small mushroom cloud finally slowly dissipated.

Everyone looked at it, and saw that the colossus of Milos was emitting smoke all over its body, and although most of the shell was still intact, many of the joints between the shells were obviously damaged, and sparks were constantly spewing out of it. Due to the injuries to the joints of his body, the Colossus could no longer stand, and could only lean on the side of the boulder city wall in a half-squat. Inside the control room, Oni anxiously pulled the lever, but the Colossus trembled and could not stand up again.

"Kronos!what's going on, the Colossus of Milos can't move!!!" Little Lori had no choice but to ask in a loud voice.

A hoarse voice like the friction of gold and stone came out from the control room: "The joints of the colossus are damaged, of course you can't move!"

At this time, the Eastern Roman army deployed on the street corner not far away had confirmed the fact that the Colossus was finally wounded and could not move, and they let out a loud cheer, and under the command of the great general Mendes, they were ready to start the magic cannon salvo again, apparently intending to take the opportunity to completely destroy the Colossus!

The morale of the Trojan army was greatly demoralized, originally they were inferior to the Eastern Romans in terms of numbers, combat effectiveness, equipment and other aspects, and they relied on the extremely hard Colossus of Milos to open the way ahead, which was barely able to draw with the enemy. But now the colossus was also damaged, and the Trojan warriors who faced several times the enemy suddenly lost their support, but fortunately, the high priest Chryses and the great prince Hector restrained them with all their might, so that they would not collapse immediately.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Oni hurriedly shouted, "What should I do then?" Kronos, hurry up and think of a way!!"

"I—I can't help it!" said the Qingyan Monster in a hurry: "Who made you so impulsive, rushing forward in a mess before you can figure out the situation!"

Oni angrily threatened, "What! I'm here to defeat the enemy! If you don't come up with a good solution for me, be careful that I use the life potion against you!"

"You!" faced this unreasonable girl. Kronos was so helpless that he couldn't speak.

Just when the enemy's magic cannon was already aimed at the colossus and ready to fire again, and the two of them were still at a loss and could only sit and wait for death, there was a sudden noisy noise behind the fortress, and the formation of the Eastern Roman army became chaotic, and several generals rushed up from behind, galloping towards Mendez.

The Eastern Roman general did not expect that there would be another mess at this critical moment. I couldn't help but say angrily: "What's going on again! You stupid people, you screaming and screaming, resist me!!"

The general who rushed to the frenzy shouted with a pale face, "My lord! The Anatonian Legion is attacking the rear of the fortress, and a black dragon has appeared in their midst!We don't have enough magic cannons to intercept it, and we have already let it rush into the fortress by surprise!!"

"What ?!!"

Mendes was so shocked that the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. He hurriedly looked up at the sky. I saw that the black dragon in front of the fortress was still circling them in the sky. Several times when he tried to rush in, he was stopped by the magic cannon. It was for this reason that he dared to take the risk and ordered the magic cannon that was originally installed in the rear to be dismantled and deployed on the street to bombard the enemy's giant puppets!

Unexpectedly, this was in the hands of the enemy, and the other party actually appeared with a black dragon and took the opportunity to rush into the fortress...... What the hell should I do?!

On the other side of the battlefield, the city of Nicaea.

Narciss, led the main army, counterattacked under the cover of the Eastern Roman floating fleet, and the battle progressed unusually smoothly. It was beyond the expectation of the golden-robed mage. The elite Tiger Shark Knights of the Mermaid Kingdom were on the verge of collapse, and before the large army could enter the city, they had already fled under the attack of the air force. Unfortunately, most of the city was flooded by the sea. The enemy fled in the water with surprisingly fast speed, while the Eastern Romans were blocked by the flood and could not pursue, which allowed the enemy to flee along the way.

By the time Narcisse entered the city, all the enemy had fled into the vast sea outside the city, and most of the flood waters inside the city had receded. As far as the eye could see, the golden-robed mage saw that the city of Nicaea had become devastated, and all around it was a devastated devastation after the natural disaster. The foul-smelling mud on the ground, the bodies of civilians drowned in floodwaters, the corpses of soldiers killed by the enemy, all kinds of garbage, broken rock, broken wood, damaged furniture and goods, all mixed together.

The golden-robed mage walked with the army through the long avenue of Augustus, where the prosperity of the past was long gone. His heart was very heavy, the Eastern Romans had extremely large military expenditures on the front, including the Byzantium, which had not been able to obtain a steady amount of tax revenue in a short period of time, and had always relied on the city of Nicaea in the rear to bear the huge military expenses. And now that Nicaea has been greatly damaged, it will take some time to rebuild, and the country's already precarious economic situation will definitely be worse!

Just when Narciss's heart was distressed, a large group of people came in front of him, and everyone fixed their eyes on it, it was Iakos, the general of Nicaea's defense of the city. The two chose a relatively intact building to meet, and after sitting down separately, they fell silent for a while.

After a long while, Iakos sighed and said, "My lord, this time the Mermaid Kingdom caught us off guard, and before that, we didn't expect such a large-scale attack to come from the sea, let alone take any precautions. After the war began, we were passive and had no countermeasures at all, and we were completely led by the enemy! If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements, I am afraid that the losses would have been even more severe! As a general defending the city, I have no shirk responsibility for the defeat, please punish me!"

"No, it's none of your business. Narcisse shook his head and said, "I am the governor of Anatonia, and it is my dereliction of duty to fail to anticipate the enemy's attack and prepare for it, and I will report the matter to His Majesty and let it be punished." And you've done a good job of holding on to Nicaea in the face of adversity. ā€

The general guarding the city opened his mouth, looking at the golden-robed mage who was depressed, and he wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say
