Chapter 1650: The March of the Vanguard
“Ah~!”
With a soft scream, Alice opened her eyes.
Ruola was holding a cup and toothbrush and was about to wash up. When she saw Alice on the bed, she was surprised and surprised: "Alice, why are you here?"
Aili Si hugged a big rag doll and rested her face on the doll: "I came here last night, eating and drinking here, making such a big noise, but you were not woken up."
"Uh...hehe, hehe, really." Ruola smiled awkwardly: "Where's Celeste, is he here too?"
"My master is not here."
< br>"Oh, that's it." Ruola lowered her eyes: "I'm going to rinse my mouth, let's talk later."
Alice Sitting on the bed and jumping up, Fuzzy was coming out of the bathroom. He flipped upside down and jumped onto the bed in his socks. He half-knelt on the bed and said, "The Great Demon Emperor Fuzzy welcomes Her Majesty the Queen."
Alice did not He said happily: "Can you speak normally? And I don't like others calling me queen."
Fuz put his hands behind his back and said with a coquettish smile: "Sister Alice, what do you want to eat, little Fuz will prepare it for you."
"Well...I want...to drink papaya milk, yes. "?" Alice asked, blinking her big eyes.
Fuzi scratched his head and said, "It should be there. I'll look for it right away." As he said that, he ran away again.
When we came to the open-air deck in front of the airship, there were several people looking out at the boundless desert. Jennifer was there, too, as was Jin, whom we met last night. Alice held on to the guardrail and looked at an airship in front of her. The two boats were not far apart. The blond Shakhan and the others were on that boat. At the stern of the boat, you could also see Cannabis and Charles Qiu Yaji. Lilugu said something.
Suddenly, many birds flew towards us in the distance, and soon the airship blew a warning whistle of an attack.
What flew over was a bird with a wingspan of 30 to 40 meters. There were twenty or thirty of them. They let out sharp screams from a distance and flew towards this side.
Someone on the deck shouted: "These rocs must be hungry. They generally do not attack objects larger than themselves. Winter is about to pass and food is scarce in the desert. They must be starving. !”
Although the people on the deck were surprised, they did not panic. The thick black barrels on both sides of the airship immediately spit out hot tongues of fire.
Boom, boom, boom...
This ancient black powder artillery emitted black smoke after one round of shooting. Some birds were hit and injured, but more was frightened. Soon these rocs discovered that the five huge objects flying in the air were not easy to mess with. They made a few fierce calls and immediately turned around and flew away.
Alice looked at the flying roc, leaning against the guardrail with her back on her back, looking up at the sky, her long silver-gray hair hanging between the guardrails. Suddenly, a springy smile appeared on her face, and there was something longing in her eyes. Even Fuz and Ruola didn't notice when they came over.
"Sister Alice, what are you giggling about?" Fuzi jumped on the guardrail and sat down and said, "It's so strange for a person to be secretly happy."
Alice was killed He woke up with a start, and his face turned red. When he saw Ruola looking at him curiously, he felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing. What do you want from me?"
"Have breakfast." Fuzi said: "Sister Alice, don't you want to drink papaya milk? I have asked the chef to make it, and it is still hot. Yes, go and drink."
"Yes." Alice happily jumped back to the cabin.
Fuz scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Sister Ruola, what's wrong with her? She seems very happy? Is papaya milk really that delicious?"
Ruola also looked confused.
Jin, who was not far away, suddenly smiled, took a long breath and looked at the sky and said: "Winter is about to end, and spring is coming."
Jennifer on the other side Looking over: "Maybe spring has come for some people."
It was early in the morning, and few people on the deck spoke loudly. Fuzi became more and more puzzled: "What do you mean? What about spring and winter? Are you so happy when spring comes? Winter is more fun, spring Not good! Is it Sister Ruola?”
...
The land south of Shaba Island is an eastern territory of the Toliba Kingdom. Before the expansion of the desert invaded this area, the area south of Shaba Island used to be the territory of the Toliba Kingdom. The main bodies are connected, but later the desertification became more and more serious, making this place only an enclave of Toliba country.
At this time, Fried's army vanguard has begun to invade here. The First Army moved straight south from the desert due north, quickly occupied Shaba Island, and marched rapidly day and night, quickly capturing Kongsburg and its surrounding areas. There was almost no decent resistance along the way. The military defense of the eastern territory of Toliba Country was mainly to prevent invasion from the southeastern countries. The officers and soldiers left in the north were mainly to prevent the invasion of sand bandits. They never expected that a large army would attack from the desert. Since the fall of the main body of Toliba Country, local officials have been in chaos. Some of them took money with them for personal reasons, and some of them ran away.
In just three days, Fried's vanguard army took control of everything here, and most of the garrison troops in each town surrendered. Fried knew that troops were expensive and fast, so he only gave Calasias one day to rest, and then immediately marched eastward to attack the Kingdom of Midgard.
At the city gate on the western border of Midgart, the city's garrison had already been waiting here. When Calasias's army invaded Shaba Island, the Queen of Midgart immediately mobilized the army to strengthen the defense of the northwest border.
Calasias rode on the back of his staff's flying dragon and looked at the guard at the city gate. The blessing of magic allowed his voice to penetrate far: "Jean Hussan, Jean Hus, you guys Surrender, our army cannot be stopped by you two brothers. Surrender and avoid the destruction of life!"
Jean Hus pointed his sword in the air and shouted: "Calasias, I know you, you are also a well-known general in Asantonia, but you don’t dare to fight and you become the lackey of the pirates. You are such a ridiculous person, and you still dare to persuade our brothers to surrender. Are you really not afraid of ridicule? Hahahaha? ..."
Calasias' adjutant said: "General, stop talking nonsense to them, let's attack."
Calasias raised his hand. The adjutant fired off an attack signal, and rows of siege equipment were pushed forward. The powerful magic rock cannons roared with fury, crazily destroying the city walls at the border. The projectile behind threw three-meter-large fireballs, hitting the magic shield at the border.
On the border city wall, there are also city defense equipment. The same magic rock cannon spits tongues of fire and pours downwards. Several sky thunder towers attract clouds and gather thunder, shooting out exaggerated arcs of electricity. The two sides shoot at each other more than ten kilometers apart.
Seeing the battle below, Calasias was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect that the small border city had such protection. The Queen of Midgard had already prepared for this battle. "
The Black Knight Volo stood on a ball of flying black mist and came to Karasias' side. It was his mount and his guardian. He said: "General, the enemy is condescending and has the advantage of range. Our siege equipment was captured from the Toliba Kingdom. It is the same as the one used by the Midgart Kingdom and is not very sophisticated. Should we postpone the attack? Reduce casualties and wait for the logistics troops to become better siege engines We will send you the weapons to attack again?”
“You mean the Magic Rock Thousand Crack Cannon?”
“There are also the Rock Turtle Army that the Marshal is preparing to use in desert operations and specializes in destroying city defenses. Liquid source limiters for shields and protective barriers ”
Calasias hesitated and asked: "Do these things work?"
Wolo said: "I learned about this thing at the War College and witnessed its power with my own eyes. It is definitely useful!"
>Calasias asked: "When will these things be delivered?"
"Two days at the earliest."
"Two days... you can do a lot of things in two days."< br>
"What do you mean, general?"
Calasias looked at the pass below and said: "If we have to spend so much effort on even a small border defense city, doesn't it make us look too useless?"< br>
“General, are you planning to attack hard?” Volo hesitated and said, “The enemy has built a lot of fortifications on the city wall. General, look, it’s far away There are magic rock cannons, thunder towers, ice arrow towers and flame bunkers nearby. There are many archers and magicians behind the barrier of the city wall. There are trenches in front of the city gate. There must be many traps set up. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses. ."
"Don't attack by force, think of a way to withdraw your troops first." Calasias jumped in from the back of the flying dragon.
A green magic flare was fired below, and the horn of retreat was sounded in the vanguard army.
The enemy retreated, and the Midgart soldiers on the city wall cheered warmly. Jean Hussange said: "Hus, why did they retreat so quickly? Robbers are robbers, and they really do not accept the hard."
Jean Hus was more cautious: "They did not retreat. , They just stopped the attack temporarily, as if they don’t want to increase casualties. They may be thinking of other ways. "What can they think of?" Hu Sang said disdainfully: "Humph, attacking a city is not as good as fighting with their pirates." , We have seven thousand soldiers here who have been waiting for a long time. As long as we can't hold on, they will not be able to capture this place even with five times the number of people."
Jean Hus and Jean Hussan are twin brothers, so. They look very similar. Even their armor, clothing, hairstyle and body shape are almost exactly the same. They both have black leather wrists, black armor, short black hair, and a black belt. Their appearance is very ordinary. If it weren't for the different swords, it would be difficult for unfamiliar people to tell them apart. come out.
Hus reminded: "Brother, don't underestimate them. These pirates can make such a big noise on the west coast and let Calasias become one of their subordinates. These people must not be simple. Hu Sang , you immediately call upon Her Majesty the Queen and ask Her Majesty to mobilize reserve troops and be ready to rush to help here at any time.”
"I'll go right away. Huss, I heard from Rachel that Her Majesty the Queen has asked for help from neighboring countries. These pirates don't know what they want to do, and they are invading. The neighboring countries understand the meaning of death, and they will definitely send troops to help. Then the pirates will retreat."
"I hope so." Unlike his brother's optimism, Hus still looked worried.
