Magic Apprentice

The early autumn of 512 was forever recorded in history.

Because from this day on, everything in the past has changed.

Even in the era of the magic empire, it was considered to be an invincible line of defense, but suddenly it became a bunch of useless decorations in front of the new power.

The steep and insurmountable mountains surrounding the Kingdom of Kaoqi were originally built by the Magic Empire, which spent nearly half a century and the strength of tens of thousands of people, with mysterious and unpredictable magic crafts that have been lost. Incredibly large project.

This is undoubtedly the greatest miracle that human beings have ever had in history, because it has almost proved that human beings can change the earth and mountains by their own power, which was originally regarded as the power possessed by gods.

For nearly 1000 years, the mountains built with magical magic have always stood steeply, and the extremely stiff rocks have not crumbled and collapsed under the erosion of wind and rain.

It is still as grand and straight as it was when it suddenly stood up here 1000 years ago.

It used to be regarded as a solid wall to protect the peace of the magic empire. Even if the magic empire eventually collapsed and perished, it has not been breached, because the Lydins who perished the magic empire were from the north that was never surrounded by this mountain range. Among the mountains, sneaked into the hinterland of the center.

After the collapse of the magic empire, the largest fortification of the magic empire, which was artificially built with magical magic, became the source of the prosperity of the Kaoqi kingdom.

Whether it is the Royal Knights in heavy armor in the Kingdom of Sophie, or the unicorns that come and go like the wind on the Montita grassland, it is difficult to surpass this huge "city wall" that spans thousands of miles, is thousands of meters high, and is nearly five kilometers thick. ".

And the only entrance and exit has been firmly controlled by the Kaoqi Kingdom since ancient times.

But on a certain day in the early autumn of 512, everyone suddenly discovered that this was once regarded as the greatest miracle of mankind, and it became a pile of magnificent decorations.

Countless slender warships floating in the air that had never been seen before easily crossed the line of defense that was originally considered insurmountable.

……

State was originally an unknown port city in the northwest of Kaoqi, but overnight, this unknown city became known to the world.

Because, it was this originally safe and quiet port that became the stage where this war that changed everything kicked off.

The morning light had just fallen on the ground through the dense tree canopy, and the night had not yet completely closed, and the City of State was still in complete silence.

But on the seaside, on the piers that meander along the coast, there is already a thriving scene.

There are warships sailing in and out of the dock everywhere, and this is the busiest time for changing the guard.

The sailors who came off the battleship that had just finished patrolling looked a little tired at the moment.

And those sailors who are about to board the battleship are standing on the pier saying goodbye to their relatives and lovers.

Occasionally, one or two merchant ships can be seen moored in the port. State is a military port, and merchant ships are not popular here, so they are moored at the farthest and most remote pier.

Just when the big clock foretelling the high tide struck twice, when those sailors who were about to set sail bid farewell to their lovers and boarded the battleship, and just as those veterans who had just stepped off the battleship made an agreement with each other to have a good sleep, and then Where to go to party at night.

Suddenly, a piercing scream attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, exclamations sounded one after another, and the continuous exclamations were filled with unstoppable fear and panic.

In the sky, rows of slender black shadows that look like huge shuttles and look like ships are flying towards here through the thick clouds.

These black fusiform shadows are arranged in a row of four, with a distance of about ten meters between each other.

When all the fusiform shadows had drilled out of the clouds, what the residents of State City saw was a scene that made them feel horrified.

I saw a huge black shadow in the sky slowly flying towards them.

The overwhelming and swarming scene made everyone who saw this scene feel extremely fearful and panicked.

Because this unprecedented situation is undoubtedly a harbinger of an imminent crisis, almost every Stater regards the black fusiform shadow flying in the air as a giant locust that chooses to eat people.

The sun rose from the horizon, which was originally a beautiful scenery that people living by the sea would never miss, but at this moment, no one turned their heads to appreciate the superb scenery that they only had a chance to see that day.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are fixed on the sky.

An atmosphere of panic and fear quickly spread throughout the city, and almost everyone walked out of the house, staring blankly at the sky.

The road leading to the port was crowded with carriages and people flocking there. The residents of this port seemed to think that soldiers could protect them.

The black shadow that was floating high in the air suddenly lowered its height.

At this moment, almost everyone has finally seen these terrifying weapons with invincible power.

It is no different from the small patrol boats that can always be seen in the port, the only difference is that it can float in the sky, but the patrol boat cannot leave the water.

All of a sudden, these warships cruising in the air shot out powerful arrows, as if a few sparse raindrops were scattered in a faint cloud.

But when those raindrops fell on the ground, they turned into thunder that destroyed everything and flames that devoured everything in an instant.

Most of this first wave of attacks fell on the warships that were moored at the docks.

Amidst the deafening roar, under the reflection of a rushing flame, broken pieces of metal, wood chips, and glass shards splashed everywhere.

The huge and thick mast of the battleship, and the sails raised above the mast, all turned into blazing torches at this moment.

Flames and thick smoke engulfed the entire pier in an instant.

Screams could be heard everywhere, and amidst the cries of despair and pain, countless sailors covered in fire jumped into the water. .

But at this moment, the water was not a safe place at all, and those arrows that did not hit the battleship accurately fell into the surrounding water.

Water jets shot up into the sky everywhere, and the huge waves caused by the explosion tore the originally calm sea into pieces.

The blasted sea water splashed down on the pier and the surrounding sea like a torrential rain.

But these splashing seawater could not extinguish the burning flame at all.

The flames and the floating blood dyed the sea red.

Shouts full of fear and fear followed one after another, and the residents of State City were shocked by the disaster that fell from the sky.

What makes them even more panic is that they don't even know where they should flee, they have no way of knowing that there is a safe place.

But one thing is absolutely certain, that is, the docks and ports are undoubtedly the most dangerous places.

Because the flames soaring into the sky and the thick smoke filling the sky came from that direction.

The crowd who were rushing towards the pier in fear and trepidation immediately turned around, but this time everyone was in a mess.

The choice of most people is to flee to their own homes, after all, home is the first place to escape that can come to mind.

Others hope to escape the city, and the dense jungle and rolling hills outside the city have become their imaginary refuge.

For those near the port docks, they were the most unfortunate group of people, because the second wave of attacks fell on them.

The deadly arrows fired by the countless neatly arranged warships in the sky fell like raindrops on the piers and causeways crowded with sailors and senders.

Countless roars and explosions landed on the side of those unfortunate people, the soaring flames engulfed them completely, and the violent explosion tore the flesh and blood into pieces.

The thick pier made of half-foot-thick pine boards was broken by the violent explosion.

Many people who had hoped to survive fell into the sea with the broken plank amidst the screams.

However, many more people were hit by the blasted masonry fragments. They screamed and fell to the ground, moaning in pain and wailing miserably.

The warehouses built around the pier were all turned into a pile of rubble by the explosion at this moment, and the collapsed houses blocked all the escape routes.

Desperate people scrambled desperately up the loose rubble in hopes of escaping.

Everyone who sees this miserable scene of flames soaring into the sky and blood flying everywhere will definitely think that it is the god in charge of the netherworld who brought hell to the world.

And the sea that was churned by the violent explosion would set off huge waves several meters high from time to time, mercilessly sucking the flow of people by the pier into the sea.

For the first time ever, a devastating blow from the air was suffered, and no one knew how to deal with these high-level destroyers.

The crowd on the ground was in a mess, and everyone was trying their best to find the possibility of escape.

Only a few soldiers blindly shot a few arrows at the floating warships in the sky, but unfortunately most of these arrows never touched Montita's airship.

Even if one or two can hit the flying boat, they can't deal a fatal blow to the flying boat.

In the headquarters of the Magic Association in this port city, several magicians looked helplessly at the miserable scene in front of them.

Most of their expressions are full of deep sadness and uncontrollable hatred.

However, the magician's rationality made them very clear that there was nothing they could do about it.

With the strength of the few of them, going out would be death in vain. Even if they combined their strength to cast the most powerful magic, it would only be able to deal a fatal blow to one or two Montita people's air battleships.

And the consequence of doing that would undoubtedly be to attract the Montita people's attention to them.

Anyone can guess what the ending will be.

Among all the people, there was only one with an indifferent face all the time, he was quietly watching the fire that filled the sky.

The miserable scene like hell was recorded on a crystal disk through his eyes.

"Hurry up and get ready to leave, and report everything that happened here to Duke Haigello." The calmest magician who was recording said slowly.

"There are still some of our disciples on the battleship, are we allowed to sacrifice them at the hands of the Montitas?" an older magician asked.

"All we can do is to pray for them. I hope they will be safe and sound. I believe that if they can escape from this disaster, they will surely make amazing progress. If they die, we will My duty is to avenge them." The magician who was recording said coldly.

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, motioning the mages to back down.

Most of those magicians were not satisfied with such a decision, but at this moment they could not disobey the chairman's order.

When the last magician walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something.

"When do you plan to evacuate here?"

The magician who was recording everything that happened in the distance said: "I have to wait until everything is over before I can leave. What you see is the only display of a new power from now on. For us, at this moment Every minute of my life is extremely precious, and I absolutely cannot let the sacrifices of the soldiers go to waste, at least I must record their last scene."

……

At the same time as the attack on State Port was launched, a huge air fleet also appeared over the narrow strait.

They arranged in a dense formation and flew along the strait towards the port in a murderous manner.

At this time, the ships of the Lydin Alliance deployed on the narrow sea surface had obviously been forewarned, and they all docked on the edge of the cliff on the side of the Lydin Kingdom.

The warships of the Kaoqi Kingdom were suddenly exposed to the sea.

The hundreds of flying boats seemed to be in an uninhabited land, and every volley could definitely be called a fatal blow to those Kaoqi warships who didn't even have the ability to fight back.

The dense explosions turned those battleships, which looked much larger and were all made of thick and sturdy beech wood, into debris flying all over the sky and blazing fires almost instantly. .

Nine times out of ten the largest warships were the hardest hit, for their sheer size made them the most conspicuous targets,

These severely damaged warships began to sink slowly, and the sailors on board jumped into the sea full of dead bodies in despair.

No warship could escape the fate of sinking, even the most flexible warship could not escape the blow from the sky high above.

The arrows fired by the flying boat were so powerful that many small patrol ships were not even hit directly, but were completely overturned because of the huge waves caused by the explosion of the arrows falling beside them.

Many small patrol boats were hit by arrows, and they were broken into two pieces amidst the roar and loud noise, or even scattered into pieces.

Arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, and the sea was full of flames and huge water jets rising into the sky at this moment.

There are monstrous waves everywhere, and even the soldiers on the battleship of the Kingdom of Ledin, who have been hiding far away, are terrified and shocked when they see this scene.

Planks, broken masts, and sails floated everywhere on the narrow sea.

In addition to these sad wrecks, there are corpses floating on the water.

A dozen kilometers behind these air warships lined up in neat arrays, a huge but innumerable fleet of chaotic ships is slowly advancing.

These ships vary in size, from the few warships of the Montita Kingdom that were originally cruising in the straits, dilapidated merchant ships bought from the Raiding people, and even simple ones that used cowhide as skin and made bamboo Large leather boats made of braided keels have everything that one expects to find.

All ships have the same characteristic, that they all have a deep draft, and therefore can only be moved with great care and slowness.

The reason for this is that these ships are full of people.

Whether it's on the deck or the top of the cabin, almost every place where you can stand, you can see someone standing there.

This slow and clumsy fleet is obviously vulnerable, as long as there is a warship of the Kaoqi Kingdom here, they can easily sink them all.

However, the surrounding sea is so calm that there is no trace of any Kaoqi battleship at all.

This huge fleet moved forward slowly and contentedly, and their destination was Port State, a city that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Kaoqi.

Every Montita person on the bow looked excited and high-spirited, because this was the first time that the Montita kingdom fought this feud on the land of Kaoqi.

This is also the first time that the Montitas have occupied the land of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and the feeling of it is self-evident to these Montitas who have been oppressed for a long time.

……

The battle lasted only half a day, and most of the time was used to lead the strange fleet full of Montitas into State Harbor.

It only took an hour to land and occupy the city. The only regret is that the pier has been destroyed so thoroughly that it is impossible to moor the ships.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Montita had to jump off the boat, and they either swam or waded to the coast of the Kingdom of Kaoqi with great difficulty.

At noon, State City calmed down again.

The Montita soldiers who landed occupied every part of the city.

Those Kaoqi soldiers who saw the powerful and irresistible fatal blow from the sky with their own eyes put down their weapons without resisting it.

Almost all were driven from their homes by Montita soldiers.

Countless people filled with fear and sorrow were crowded on the square.

Some of them are grieving for the loved ones they have lost, and some are worried about whether they will be safe.

Suddenly, an extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped every square.

No one dared to resist, and no one even dared to cry loudly. Obviously, in their eyes, these menacing Montitas were ordinary murderous devils.

After a while, a unicorn captain galloped over on a horse, and he brought the latest order.

Those unarmed Kaoqi people were driven like a flock of sheep to gather towards the west side of the city.

It used to be where the best people in town lived.

The streets here are wide and flat, and the houses built on both sides of the street are all neat three-story apartments.

Most of the apartments are not much different in style, and the people who live here are clearly well-to-do, but far from luxurious.

Everything seems to be quite safe, and the residents of Port State don't know how these barbaric and cruel invaders plan to deal with them.

Suddenly there was a bang, and there was a sound of a building collapsing in front of it, followed by dust flying all over the sky.

The residents of Port State, who were like frightened birds, couldn't bear it anymore, and screams and cries suddenly filled the crowd.

Sadness and panic can spread like the plague, and the feeling of imminent disaster hangs over everyone in an instant.

"Don't be noisy, you will live in this block from now on, and it's up to you to choose where to live."

"Each morning, food and water will be brought to you for the whole day, and if someone is sick we will treat the sick."

"However, in order to prevent you from causing trouble for us, this block will be completely isolated from other places, and no one of you can come and go at will."

"We will have people guarding the entrances and exits of the block at all times. If you need anything, you can tell them and they will pass it on to someone who can make a decision."

"Finally, I would like to warn everyone here, if you stay inside, you will be safe and sound, don't be smart, any reckless actions will cost you your life." A unicorn captain shouted He shouted, he is obviously a brilliant warrior, his full aura makes every word he spit out so clear, it can even be called deafening.

Suddenly there was another sound of walls collapsing, and patches of dust were blown towards the crowd by the wind.

After the flying dust gradually settled, the residents of the port realized that the occupiers from the grassland were obviously planning to raze all the buildings around that block to the ground. .

At this moment, apart from fear, everyone's heart is the desire for survival. Although great anger and deep sadness are shrouded in their hearts, no one dares to stand up and challenge the authority of these occupiers at this time.

All the residents of Port State can do at this moment is to walk into this huge cage in silence.

Some of them used to live here, but now it is not the home they are familiar with.

All trees were cleared, and any particularly tall buildings were demolished and collapsed.

The alleys that originally extended in all directions were completely sealed off by chaotic bricks and gravel at this moment, only the entrance behind them remained.

But there was a heavy iron gate locked tightly there, and Montitas with bows and arrows were everywhere at the gate.

The sound of houses collapsing from outside the wall made the tens of thousands of port residents feel extremely distressed, because these were originally their precious wealth.

But at this moment, it was completely destroyed by these stupid and barbaric steppe people.

Countless people cursed secretly in their hearts, but no one dared to spit out the cursed words from their mouths.

After all, compared with everything else, life is the most precious wealth.

……

At this moment, those Montita people who carried out the order were also filled with regret.

When he first set foot on the land of the Kaoqi Kingdom, the excitement and desire for revenge disappeared without a trace after the initial round of venting and destruction.

Looking at these buildings, looking at the spacious streets, looking at the collected property, and the dazzling array of commodities.

The occupiers were fascinated by it, most of whom had never set foot outside the steppe.

While the abundance of wealth outside opened their eyes, it also made them feel deeply regretful.

How they wish they could live in this beautiful and comfortable house, instead of destroying them into a pile of ruins and rubble.

In a sense, the Montitas are probably the people in the world who love and desire houses the most, because for most of them, all this is always an elusive dream.

However, the Montitas are also the most order-obedient nation, and the harsh environment of the grassland made each of them understand the meaning of unity and discipline from an early age.

Although I felt extremely sorry, houses were still destroyed in pieces.

On the already extremely spacious avenue, there was a long row of carriages parked.

There are various styles of these carriages, and the luxurious decoration obviously comes from a luxurious box carriage of a certain nobleman, a sightseeing carriage with a very spacious ceiling and a soft wool seat cushion, and a private four-wheeled carriage with a small body and a simple and light shape. , and the light and nimble two-wheeled wagon with a sun-shading roof.

But at this moment, what use did the owners of these carriages use them for? Now the job is exactly the same, that is, to move those bricks and stones, in addition to that, the felled trees also need to be transported. Walk.

On a hill not far from the port,

A new forward battalion has been established there.

Most of the people in the front battalion were immersed in the joy of victory, and they were able to occupy a very important city in the Kaoqi Kingdom with almost no loss. This is undoubtedly a pioneering work that the Montita Kingdom has never done before.

If it wasn't for the supreme Sante who strictly ordered everyone not to relax in the slightest at this moment, let alone celebrate the carnival because of this temporary victory, I am afraid that most people here could not help but hold a victory celebration.

At this moment, there are still some people in the front camp who are so busy that they have no time to stop and rest.

The busiest of them was obviously not the bold and unrestrained prince who was in charge of commanding the battle, but Gangta, the deputy commander in charge of preparations and aftermath.

After the marriage proposal turmoil, he replaced the original old man, Elder Lauder.

Now besides Dak, he has the highest status and prestige among the unicorns.

However, compared with Dak, who was advancing bravely, he was obviously more suitable for handling those important side jobs.

Being able to make the tribe one of the biggest alliances on the grassland from scratch, it is not an easy task for Gangta to be called a legend by the people of the grassland.

At this moment, he was frowning and looking at the blueprint in front of him.

This drawing comes from Enleco's handwriting.

Just like those people in the city in the clouds admired Gangta, Gangta was also full of incomparable awe for that mysterious young man.

This is not only because of Enleco's reputation, but also because he has personally experienced a weapon made by this famous little curse mage and a disciple he created with a little guidance. People are amazed by the incomparable power.

And those flying boats floating in the air, and the fact that they conquered a city easily and without loss within half a day, this miraculous result made him even more confident in this young magician.

Because of this, he can definitely be called meticulous in building this fortification.

Suddenly an old but extremely powerful palm patted on his shoulder.

Gonta could tell who was standing behind him without even turning his head.

He is also full of awe for this old man who once served as a king, but what he is in awe of is not his ability but his character.

"Have you figured it out? How much did we spend to occupy this port?" the old man asked slowly, his old face full of smiles.

"If by cost you mean loss, then there are only two ships that fell apart because they were not strong enough when they approached the shore."

"In addition, we lost more than a dozen people in some sporadic fighting after landing, and there are more than 30 wounded waiting for treatment."

"However, if you are asking how many arrows we spent in order to occupy this city."

"Then I can tell you that if there are a few more such battles, we can only use sharpened wooden sticks as arrows to lose to the Kaoqi people."

"The battle of the First Fleet lasted only one and a half hours, but they fired nearly [-] arrows, while the Second Fleet only had to deal with dozens of warships, and they spent more than [-] arrows. Arrow lost."

"A total of [-] arrows were lost in today's battle, which is nearly one-third of all the arrows we have lost, and these are the hard work of our craftsmen for several months. It was made."

"I don't know what those guys who are driving the flying boat think. I only know that if they are praised this time, it will lead to the ultimate destruction of all of us."

"I also know that if some people are not punished severely, they will use up all the remaining arrows in the next battle." Gangta said solemnly.

"I understand." The old man's expression suddenly became serious, obviously he knew very well what Ganta's words meant just now.

"The kid Dake was the first to go crazy. He couldn't escape the guilt. He must be removed and let him command the defense."

"As for those captains, you list those who are the craziest and most wasteful guys. As far as I know, at least one tenth of the manpower can be removed. When training the captains, we have a certain leeway." The old man said slowly. He nodded slowly and said.

"Giving such a punishment at the same time as they have just achieved such a magnificent victory, this is undoubtedly a very powerful whip, which will make them remember this lesson forever." Gangta said with a smile, obviously he has fully understood The meaning of the old man.

"So what about our harvest?" The old man continued to ask.

"Few soldiers are willing to surrender. These Kaoqi people are also very fierce and tenacious. There are more than 9000 corpses salvaged, most of them are sailors and soldiers."

"Twenty-eight warships were destroyed on the pier, and sixty ships were destroyed on the sea, but only five of them were larger warships, because the time of our attack coincided with the changing of the guard every month. So most of the big ships are moored in the port." Gunta said with a smile, obviously these figures also made him feel happy and proud.

"It's really great. For this good news, I will quietly tell you a secret. The Kingdom of Ledin will soon send us a batch of forged arrows."

"Although I don't know the exact number, at least it will allow us to deal with it for a while." The old man also said with a smile.

This news obviously excited him the most for Gunta, who was originally worrying about weapons.

"That's really great. In this case, do we still need to give those guys such severe punishment? After all, now is the time when manpower is urgently needed." Gangta asked.

"Why not give other people a chance to see if they are suitable for those positions, and in my opinion, severe punishment is sometimes better than blind tolerance. This is the greatest gift my daughter has given me. Lesson." The old man said slowly, with a slight trace of pain and regret in his expression.

……

At the moment in Vedsk, in the palace, in the staff department, in the command headquarters, almost every corner is full of people who are in a state of desperation.

Just a few hours ago, the news of the fall of Port State had already reached their ears.

Although many people don't know where the port of State is located, let alone the significance of this port to Kaoqi, even this port city is located on the border with Monti Tower. I don't know whether the place is on the side close to Sophie.

But they knew at least one thing, and that was what the loss of Port State meant.

In the eyes of most people, the word fall has never appeared in the history of the Kaoqi Kingdom.

It can even be said that no country has ever successfully invaded the territory of the Kaoqi Kingdom.

What made them even more terrified was that this reminded them of the scene of the demise of the magic empire.

The magic empire was also once powerful, and no force could shake its lofty and transcendent status.

Similarly, no country has ever invaded an inch of the Magic Empire before its demise.

But that only invasion caused the destruction of this huge empire that was once glorious.

Will history repeat itself again?Could it be that the Kaoqi Kingdom has already embarked on the path of the Magic Empire?

No one dared to answer this question, but the simultaneous declaration of war between the Kingdom of Sophie and the Kingdom of Montita made them feel uncontrollable panic, because the same thing happened when the Magic Empire fell.

The Sophie Kingdom, an ancient country, seldom took drastic actions and reactions, but once it suddenly acted, the powerful impact it possessed was unimaginable.

The only good thing is that the Kingdom of Kaoqi has always been the largest and most worried enemy, the Kingdom of Ledin has never made a gesture of declaring war.

This country that once destroyed the magic empire is the real source of fear and fear for the Kaoqi people.

Although the worst possibility has not yet appeared, the Kaoqi Kingdom is already in panic.

However, it was the staff officers of the staff department who were most frightened and uneasy. At this moment, they all stared palely at the image projected from the crystal crystal directly in front of them.

The black air warships flying slowly, the explosive bombs that rained down on the docks and embankments, and the explosions that were as colorful as white flowers blooming, but brought death and destruction to Port State And the flames, all of these staff officers were frightened.

This is a battle they have never seen before, and it is also one of the things they have been most worried about, that is the original biggest advantage of the Kaoqi Kingdom - including the Holy Knights and the sum of the Kaoqi Kingdom It seems that an astonishingly large number of heavily armored knights will be useless on the new battlefield.

One thing that has always worried them is that they are even more worried that they have mastered the mysterious technologies that they have not fully understood so far, and the Montitas will far surpass the Kaoqi Kingdom in terms of brand-new power.

For these staff who are familiar with history and know the history of war well, the emergence of a new force and tactics that surpass the original force and can restrain the original strongest force has a huge impact on the outcome of the war. Impact. .

The rise of the heavy armored infantry back then was nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of people of that era. Thousands of heavy armored corps almost swept across a kingdom.

The same heavy armored corps, which was once mighty, has completely lost its original value due to the emergence of new tactical units, and has been reduced to a second-rate unit.

Heavy armored cavalry has become the new dominator on the battlefield.

But now, these air battleships flying in the air and launching arrows that can destroy everything undoubtedly make heavy armored cavalry meaningless.

But the real reason for their panic is that these warships floating in the air, since they can easily cross the strongest defense system that was once considered impenetrable—the lost magic piled up around the Kingdom of Kaoqi The huge mountain system that rose up.

It also means that in the battle that just ended, the fortress that proved to be quite useful has now become a pile of waste.

Even the aerial warships of the Montitas were able to drive in unimpeded.

Just imagine that the dark clouds hang over Vedsk, just imagine that those arrows fell not on the pier of State Port, but on the bustling and crowded commercial streets and residential areas of Vedsk, these staff officers Feeling trembling all over, this is already a terrifying scene that they dare not imagine.

"It's really terrifying. This kind of power doesn't exist for defeating opponents at all. Its real purpose is to destroy everything." One of the staff officers muttered to himself.

"Fortunately, we also have this kind of power that can destroy everything." Another staff officer said.

"But don't forget that although the air battleships we have are much stronger than them, we are far from being able to compete with them in terms of numbers."

"If the Montitas fight us at all costs by sacrificing numbers and killing us, we may not be able to bear such a huge loss, not to mention that we have to deal with the attack from the Sophie Kingdom in the rear. They also have air battleships , and we haven't even figured out the exact number yet," the first staff officer said.

After everyone was silent for a while, one of the most senior staff officers sitting near the wall said slowly: "In any case, it is impossible for us to allow the Montitas to occupy Port State, which will not only make The confidence of the people has been devastated, the morale of soldiers has been shattered, and fear has spread."

"What's more, only by occupying Port of State can we firmly control the Byrne Strait, and everyone must be very clear about how terrible it is for us to lose the Byrne Strait."

"One of the biggest reasons why the Montita Kingdom is so weak is that this grassland lacks the most fundamental metal minerals such as copper, iron, and tin. The same worthless wood and stones are also extremely scarce."

"But these are innumerable for the Kingdom of Lydin. Just the continuous cliffs next to the strait are all dense forests."

"The Lydins don't even need to build boats at all. They just need to cut down those big trees and tie them together to form huge rafts, which can be used to carry ore and any other materials across the narrowest part of the strait. It's just as easy as pie."

"Every day we lose in allowing the Lydins and Montitas to take State Harbor and gain control of the Channel, the worse our situation becomes."

Everything that the senior staff officer said made everyone think deeply, and everyone here knew very well what those words meant.

"It seems that no matter how huge the price we spend, we must recapture the Port of State as soon as possible. This will be a difficult and tragic battle with heavy losses." A staff officer said in a heavy tone.

"The enemy didn't leave us with the slightest choice, no matter who is bound to make such a decision, because Port State is like a torn, bleeding wound, if it is not closed as soon as possible, Ka Ao Qi will eventually lose blood and die." The senior senior staff officer said decisively.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, and a senior staff officer in a neat military uniform came in, holding a large and thick leather bag tightly in the crook of his right hand. The bag was bulging and heavy inside.

Seeing this person coming in, the staff officers quickly stood up from their chairs, their expressions were extremely serious.

"I just arrived from the military meeting before the Imperial Palace. His Majesty the Emperor has decided to retake Port State as soon as possible at all costs. The deadline for the war to start is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"And everyone must submit the draft plan to me before I attend the imperial military meeting again at noon tomorrow."

Speaking of this, the chief of staff stopped to think for a while, and then continued: "You'd better draw up several sets of plans in advance, and plan some of these plans in detail before noon tomorrow."

"Because, after the imperial meeting decides which attack plan to adopt, you probably only have half a day to refine the plan."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, the regiment must go to the battlefield anyway, and the battle may start at night or at dawn."

"If you can't finish your work on time, thus delaying the entire battle plan, a military court will be held temporarily for you, and the gallows will definitely be arranged for you within an hour."

The chief of staff said firmly.

After hearing these words, the staff officers could no longer calm down, and they rushed out of the conference hall.

Some are busy gathering their subordinates, while more people have already occupied the huge conference tables in the planning room.

Those officers and nobles who gathered at the staff headquarters to inquire about the news were all driven out mercilessly.

A team of soldiers was urgently summoned and sealed off the inside and outside of the staff headquarters. Anyone who entered or exited here must undergo strict interrogation.

This extremely tense atmosphere made everyone who saw it feel a little panic and urgency.

The staff department is even more tense and busy to the extreme. .

There were people walking up and down everywhere, they took big strides, shuttling between the corridors and offices at a speed that was no less than running.

Maps related to Port State, information on the corps, identities and resumes of officers and generals.

The latest research reports and materials on air warships, as well as the tactics and results obtained by the air warships of the Kingdom of Montita in this surprise attack.

All of this was quickly piled up on the huge conference table in the center of the planning room.

At this moment, those high-ranking staff officers also disregarded their status and image, and all buried themselves in the pile of materials in front of them.

The huge conference table was full of messy documents at the moment, and it looked like a huge garbage dump.

And those staff officers gathered together in groups of three or four. They lowered their voices, discussing and deliberating intensely there.

As for the chief of staff, he wandered around on his own, without saying a word, with a serious expression on his face, but sometimes he would join a group of staff members who were discussing, and listened quietly to their discussions.

"How many air battleships can we mobilize for this campaign?" Suddenly a staff officer asked the officer who came to deliver the order.

"His Majesty the Emperor has already said, no matter what the cost." The chief of staff said briefly.

"Then the great wizard Kobe Leo, the court's chief magician Drakes, and the evil mage Mr. Trod will be able to participate in this battle, and will His Majesty ask them to use their full strength?" The elder asked the senior staff officer.

"I understand what you mean, but I have to warn everyone, don't put all your hopes on forbidden spells or powerful magic similar to forbidden spells."

"The last battle has proved that forbidden spells and powerful magic similar to them are no longer the power that our Kaoqi Kingdom possesses."

"The losses we suffered in the last battle also prove how huge losses we will bring to us if we rely solely on super magic."

"This time the three masters will definitely go to the front with us, but whether or not they join the battle must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself."

"And even if they launch an attack, nine times out of ten they will deal with an opponent of the same strength on the enemy's side alone."

"We will try to avoid the use of all-destructive power by both sides."

"You must know that this battle is launched on the territory of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and among those ultimate forces that can destroy everything, there is a kind of magic that can destroy the Kaoqi Kingdom together."

"I believe that none of you are interested in seeing the legendary miracle with your own eyes, so use your brains and wisdom to win the Kaoqi Kingdom."

"Things related to super magicians, let the characters who are also super magicians solve them."

The chief of staff said calmly.

Hearing this, the expressions of the staff officers became even more dignified.

"I have another question, that is, what kind of Port of State does His Majesty want to take back? Is it a port that can be used to control the strait? Or is it a ruin full of corpses?" The elderly senior The staff officer asked slowly.

"Don't you still remember the words of His Majesty the Emperor I just relayed? At all costs, we must retake Port State." The chief of staff said, his expression was serious and extremely cold.

This time, no one asked any further questions, and everyone seemed to understand clearly.
