082: The fiasco of the puppeteers

After a moment of thought, Cleo suggested, "Can this magic device contact my mother? Maybe she'll be able to help us!"

Oni immediately perked up and hurriedly asked, "That's right! You know the resonance code of the Queen Mother's communication crystal ball, right? Tell me quickly!"

The two girls were busy tinkering in front of the screen for a while, and the picture lit up again, followed by the head of the Queen Mother Olympias. I saw that her expression was very puzzled at first, but soon the Queen Mother saw the appearance of her daughter on the other side clearly, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Cleo?

The eldest princess also replied very happily: "Queen Mother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!"

Olympiath stretched out her slender hand and stroked her plump snow-white chest exposed under the black silk dress, and then asked nervously, "That's good! Where are you now, have you made it to Delos?"

During this period of time, the Queen Mother has been under great psychological pressure, on the one hand, she also knows that her Jihua is not perfect, and various accidents are likely to occur in the implementation process. On the other hand, the strength of the royal family is getting worse and worse, and even if you know that there is danger, you must give it a go, otherwise you will not be able to turn the situation around. In order to encourage everyone's morale, she pretended to be confident in the capture of Delos, but in fact she was worried every day, afraid that even her daughter's life would be involved.

Seeing that Cleo was safe and sound, Olympias finally put her mind at ease, and at the same time gave birth to a glimmer of hope.

Cleo immediately smiled and replied, "Yes." I have good news for you, not only have we arrived on the Floating Island, but we have also made contact with the Athenian general Pericles! The High Priest of the Temple of Wisdom has just received an oracle from the Goddess asking the Athenians not to be enemies of our family of Ajd, and Lord Pericles has indicated to me that he will turn to the royal family of Pera to fight against the enemy!"

"What? Is this true, great!"

Olympias was overjoyed, Athens was the leader of the Delian League, one of the three major shili within Olympia, if they really wholeheartedly allied themselves with the royal family of Pera, then the situation would immediately change, and the Ajid family would inevitably hold real power again!

However, after a brief period of excitement, the Queen Mother quickly calmed down. After all, Pericles was in power in Athens for many years, and he had always acted in a scheming manner, but now he suddenly came to the will of the goddess, and he was afraid that there would be deception. Maybe there is no such thing at all, but Pericles is playing tricks to lure them into falling for them, and then set a trap to wipe out the Liliang of the Ajd family!

When the Queen Mother thought of this, she secretly had jihua in her heart, and this situation must be prevented, and someone must be sent to Athens to find out.

Seeing her mother's happy look, Cleo, who was in high spirits, continued: "The alliance should be true, Princess Oni, the daughter of General Pericles, is by my side, and we have now turned enemies into friends. ”

"Really, Princess Oni is here, too?" Olympias immediately turned her gaze behind Cleo.

Ou Ni also stepped forward a little cowardly and saluted her: "Your Royal Highness the Queen Mother, Oni greets you. I haven't seen you in a long time, I don't know if everything is okay......"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, the Queen Mother finally put her mind at ease. Pericles' daughter was by Cleo's side, and although it was said that the two sides were cooperating, in fact they had a hostage in their hands, so that the alliance was much more credible. Next, all you need to do is confirm Athena's oracle, and you can move on to the next step of jihua with confidence!

However, just as her confidence was greatly increased, Cleo asked in distress: "Queen Mother, although we have formed an alliance with Athens, but the floating fleet of the Nicaean has come to attack Delos at this time, and now the puppet army on the front line has been defeated, and the island's defenses have been damaged, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." What do you think we should do next?"

"The Nicaean Floating Fleet, how could there be such a coincidence!" Olympias wondered, feeling that there must be something else going on in this matter.

But now was not the time to think about it, and after a little thought, she had to frown and say, "I may not be able to give you much help in a short time, but in order to confuse Melagoros, I deliberately sent the Imperial Air Warship to leave the port before the repair was completed. The ship should be not too far from you now, and I will contact the Pythias and order him to come to your aid immediately. It's just that it is estimated that it will not arrive until early tomorrow morning at the earliest, and you must do everything you can to hold Delos tonight!"

"I understand! As long as I have a breath left, I will never let Delos fall into the hands of the Nicaeans!" Cleo nodded resolutely.

At this time, Elrence interjected uncomfortably: "What is the use of a scarred Empire? Even if it comes, it will probably be in vain, maybe it will be sunk here!"

Olympias smiled and explained to him, "Although the overall restoration work of the Empire has not yet been completed, the defense system is basically intact, and the rest is mainly the acceleration device and attack weapons. With the strong defense of the air battleship and the attack ability of Lord Elrens, as long as the tactical configuration is right, I believe that it can receive miraculous results......"

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, the evil dragon also nodded. The Empire is the newest air combat ship in the Olympia Alliance, and its defense capabilities are extremely strong. As I saw with my own eyes, the Empire was besieged by the combined fleet of Shinra-Nicaea, and the two sides were fiercely bombarded for a long time with one enemy and many sides.

Elrens secretly thought in his heart, as long as he took care of it, first attracted the firepower of the Nicaeans with the Empire, and then found a way to attack the opponent's flagship, once successful, it would not be impossible to hold Delos. The question is how to deal with the enemy arriving soon, and his own reinforcements are still thousands of miles away......

Olympias was in a hurry to contact the Empire, and soon ended the call with Cleo, by which time it was already getting dark.

In the afterglow of the golden sunset, the three of them passed through the transparent crystal wall of the Crystal Palace and saw a large group of black shadows in the distance, rushing towards Delos Island in a scattered formation with the sun on their backs.

"It's the Aerial Puppets!The Athenian Mages and the Knights of Parthenon are back!" Oni looked at it for a moment, then there was a shout, and she ran out first.

Cleo and Ellens glanced at each other, followed suit, and in a few moments the three of them walked through the winding crystal corridor to the outside of the palace. At this time, the Athenian warriors had already piloted the air combat puppets and landed on a large plain at the foot of the mountain in front of the Crystal Palace. They stood in a large group, all of them discarded and tattered, and some of the puppets had broken hands and feet or large wounds, and sparks were constantly emitting from their bodies. At a glance, the embarrassing scene knew that it was a defeat.

When Oni walked into the crowd, the Knights of Parthenon, Nissias, climbed out of his seat. He waved his left hand, walked quickly to meet the little Lori magician, and asked with a pale face, "Your Highness, what happened on Delos Island, and why did it become like this?!"

Oni squinted at Elrens and replied helplessly, "The ray of death got out of control and destroyed almost all the buildings on the island, and we finally stopped it. ”

"Oh, I see," Nicias replied, puzzled, unable to understand why the rays ......of death could get out of control for no apparent reason.

But since Princess Oni didn't want to say more, the head of the knight couldn't continue to ask, so he then turned his head to look at Cleo, and felt that this unusually beautiful woman became more and more familiar, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, who are these two beside you ......?"

Oni was about to introduce her, when Cleo stepped forward and said, "I am Princess Pera and Commander of the Alliance's Central Floating Fleet, Cleo!

When Nicias heard this, he was taken aback! It turned out that this heroic woman in a black tight-fitting combat uniform was Princess Cleo, no wonder she looked so familiar! However, as far as he knew, Athens currently seemed to support the vice-regent Melaculus, who was in a state of secret confrontation with the royal family of Pella, and for some reason Princess Pella appeared here? Could it be that the tragic scene of chaos on Delos Island had something to do with the two people in front of him?

Thinking of this, the knight leader hesitated to glance at Oni, and saw that the little princess did not have any abnormality, and there was no hostility between her and Cleo. So Nicias didn't think much about it, after all, this kind of major matter related to national strategy, it was not his turn to participate in the decision-making of a front-line commander like him, and he didn't care whether Athens was an enemy or an alliance with the royal family of Pera, as long as he did his own thing.

The head of the knight hurriedly saluted Cleo, and was about to say something respectful, but Oni hurriedly interjected: "Nissias, are your casualties serious, and how is the situation of the other party's fleet?"
