Chapter 361: Three Days of Terror

A large shining net fell from the sky. The Duke pushed back his chair and retreated to the back of the hall. Guards rushed to block him from both sides. , and the beautiful woman got up from the chair. With a flick of her wrist, a scimitar blade was created out of nothing. She held it and swung it upwards. All together, she stepped onto the chair and leaped, light as a fallen leaf, jumping over everyone's heads in one step.The Duke couldn't help following her figure. When she fell behind them, he also turned his head to look. The door at the back of the hall was opened, and the figure of the archmage was hidden behind the door. Several gargoyles rushed out from the door. A few strands of dark light came suddenly, before the gargoyle pierced the elf's face, blasting a cloud of needles and poisonous mist.

Does he even want to kill me!

When these words flashed through the Duke's mind, the amulet had blocked the aftermath of the attack for him, and the elf had turned around and jumped up again, with streamers surrounding her side, and in the blink of an eye she swung the blade, cutting through the necks of two gargoyles like silver-white snow lines, In the rain of red and black blood that exploded before the rough head hit the ground, the elf with two knives in his hands stepped across the gargoyle's shoulders and neck, and rushed into the entrance like a whirlwind of light.More gargoyles passed the Duke and others and continued to charge forward. The people on the white boat had already dispersed, as if fleeing in a hurry. They rushed to the wall behind the pillar, and several fruit-sized black balls rolled across the ground. The next moment, fire and thunder roared. Let's explode together!

The air wave lifted the flesh and furniture into the air, and the Duke rolled involuntarily, spinning around in a series of screams:

--what happened?

He hit the ground hard, the amulet flickered a few times, and then he lost consciousness.

Fortunately or unfortunately, he didn't have to experience what happened next.

The explosion shook the entire palace. Armored guards rushed out from the forest and both sides of the square like a colony of frightened ants. Another flash of light erupted. For a moment, it seemed that even the ground was shaking, gravel splashed, and everyone was shocked in the smoke. Seeing the big hole in the castle, the iron armor seems to be as thin as paper in front of such power. During their hesitation, some mages slowly landed along the outer wall, their staffs shining brightly. At the same time, on the pier, In the street, all the houses facing the street opened their doors, and countless soldiers swarmed out of them. Rows of archers appeared on the first and second city walls. To the giant white ship on the blue waves.

The gangway of the white ship was still not retracted at this time, and groups of soldiers rushed to the pier and rushed towards it.

At this time, only a very few people can spare a little energy for the sea, and take a look at the two pure white shadows slowly appearing from the mist.

Though blurred at such a distance, any lookout could confirm at a glance that they were the twins of the great ships in the harbor.

The wind howled, and hundreds of arrows hit the deck and the facilities on it hard. In the rain-like blows, the cracking sound of glass was clear and crisp, and it spread far away. Flying arrows, in front of a large number of soldiers with round shields on their arms and sharp blades charging, the white ship was like a slow and bloated monster, unable to respond to surprise attacks from up, down, left, and right, the crew all shrank below the deck In the cabin of the ship, a row of shots from the roof on the shore came first, hitting the line of the porthole.Although they either broke or jumped, indicating that the transparent material on the window was stronger than expected, it also seemed to indicate that the people inside could not make effective attacks on the outside.Someone may have discovered the small holes above and below the portholes and the black iron pipes protruding from the holes, but the soldiers who charged the fastest were only a few steps away from the gangway, and dozens of eagle claws were waving vigorously above the heads of the crowd. , soaring high, the black claws clasped the side railing of the ship, and while the rope was tense, several hands grabbed the cold handrail of the gangway one after another.

It went smoothly, it went so unbelievably smoothly——but at this moment, the evil god's scythe rushed towards us!

The heavy blows blasted into a line exploded in an instant, and the soldiers in the front row were beaten into blood mist in the blink of an eye!The impact that can’t be seen by the naked eye tears the body like tearing thin paper, the bones of the residual limbs are still thrown high, the scorching blood drops are still splashing, the posture of the soldiers running forward has not changed, and no one has time to look into the porthole cave. The fire, the rotating high-heat warhead pierced the flesh and blood, interrupted the limbs, and plowed out blood lines. If the solid granite ground encountered heavy rain, white pits would be punched out. The hot wind swept back and forth, ricocheted and rolled, and within a breath, most of the wide pier was emptied!

The raindrops of flesh and bone slag landed one after another, pattering on various armors. Disbelief and the fear of facing death were mixed into a stagnant colloid. The soldiers behind who were wrapped by it stopped their attacking steps, and they froze. Standing on the ground, looking horrified, only a very few people with a strong desire to survive turned around tremblingly, and took steps to escape, but the suffocating roar from the nightmarish dream did not stop, and the terrible death was close to their heels , amidst the shrill and intermittent screams, the crossed lines of fire mowed down and chopped pieces of human bodies like straw——

Where is the enemy?What, who is killing?What is happening before their eyes, is this just a nightmare?

The archers on the roof were devastated before this scene, and their courage could no longer support their legs. They rolled down from the roof one after another, screaming.It seemed that the great terror brought by the formless enemy broke the will of the soldiers in a very short time. Only a few people escaped from the pier to the roundabout. The intact soldiers who were still on the street looked blankly at these frightened The courageous survivors looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood behind them. The sea breeze was blowing with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the heavy and rapid death was still shaking the air and the ground. , The instinctive slow retreat turned sharply, and the rout spread like lightning. No matter soldiers, officers or heavy armor, everyone turned around and fled desperately.They threw away their armor, weapons, and all the heavy things on their bodies, crying frantically and fleeing, while behind them, stones and logs were being thrown into the air.

Twelve heavy machine guns had harvested all the living things on the pier. Next, their firepower network began to clear the rear buildings. The archers, who had fled a step slower, ran close to the wall that made them feel a little safer. However, at this distance, even the ancient stone walls are equally vulnerable to large-caliber bullets. The pouring torrent of metal bombarded the wall. Immediately died tragically, and some were buried in the ruins. Those who escaped this section did not look back no matter how the world turned upside down. The collapsed army was almost disorderly. On the crowded road, the screams of the crowd trampled on each other broke through the sky, and their reason and emotions were crowded by fear. At the moment of extreme pressure, a question echoed in everyone's mind:

God!

What exactly did they offend?

The smoke and dust from the shattered buildings can be seen in most of the Orbis King's City built on the back of the hill, not to mention those shocking serial loud noises?The poor near the wharf fled back to their low dwellings, and they had nowhere else to go. The beggars huddled tightly at the bottom of the gutter, covering their ears, buried their heads and knees, not daring to look or listen, or even Dare to think.People's vision was obstructed in various ways on the flat ground, but the guards and archers on the two city walls were in the best position to witness the worst. Some people threw spears and arrows at the source of terror in the process. , However, these magically blessed weapons were still useless when they fell on the white boat.The atmosphere of panic is spreading, the fiery destruction is still going on, the rout soldiers are rushing towards the city gate, and those timid businessmen are also running towards the inner city. Finally, an officer reacted and led his men down to close the city gate in a hurry, and escaped by the way ——At this time, no one paid any attention to the still white giant beast on the distant sea.

Regardless of whether it is noticed or not, it will not affect, let alone change the strategic response of HNA.

The naval guns were aimed at the harbor.

Input the scale, the shooting parameters have been set, and the wind force on the sea surface is less than level five. Braland put his hand on the launcher and glanced ahead.

"May you die well..." he whispered.

Tongues of flame spewed out from the muzzle, and amidst the sound of the wind, the shells of the 150mm main gun advanced rapidly along the arc trajectory one after another.

On Fusong Port, behind the first, second and even third city walls, the almost ignorant residents of the capital walked out of their houses in panic, looking in two directions at a loss, the palace on the top of the hill was smoking, There was an unimaginable battle sound from the pier, even a total war would not have such a thrilling sound-suddenly, the sound of pounding the heart and soul stopped.

After hitting a piece of white ground, on an invisible boundary, the slowly advancing barrage stopped here. The red barrel of the gun in the shooting hole on the side of the white boat finally quieted down. There were only tense breathing and sweat in the cabin. Breath, even the observer standing in front of the window was dripping with sweat.

For a moment, it seemed that even the chaotic sounds in the distance were insignificant. In this noisy dead silence, a sound came from far to near, which lifted people's hearts high.

People can't help but look to the sky.

Then it—or the moment they hit the ground, the invisible heavy hammer slammed into the ground, shaking the ground, countless people were unprepared to be overturned by the beating ground, pushed down by the air waves, and the slabs of stone on the roof were blown away. They were thrown in groups like sand, not to mention the loud noise - it was heart-pounding and made many people faint instantly, or the loud noise that had already been spit out!

Under the hammer of thunder and fire that only gods can wield, the city wall was broken.

Like a sandcastle facing the tide, or an ant's nest under a horse's hoof, or a mortal world under a starfall—the first and second city walls were breached one after another, and then collapsed.The soil and rocks rolled down with the human body, like a landslide. Although all the well-built fortifications were waiting for their destroyers, for those who were used to these protective circles, any destruction would be a disaster that should not happen, let alone Did it happen so suddenly and so horribly, like a natural disaster?

The whole city shook, but the invisible attacker still did not give up, another explosion sounded from the sea in the distance, and a moment later, the third city wall was also hit hard!Although the wall, which was higher and thicker than the first and second city walls, barely withstood this wave of attacks, the rest of it was thin and fragmented, and the next wave of attacks that did not give them a place to breathe came soon after. Turn it into powder——so far, all three city walls have been broken.

Looking at the sky, this mainly white coastal city was hit with a straight penetrating wound, and the muzzle of the naval gun on the sea was slightly raised, pointing at the top of the city.

When the heavy artillery destroyed the high towers on both sides of the palace, the elves and their party had also rushed into the sun room. After a short and fierce battle, the blood-stained elves in white clothes grabbed the king by his collar and dragged him across the corpses on the ground to the terrace. Stand together in front of the broken railing.The wind brought the smell of fire and blood, as well as the sound of screams and wailing to them. In terms of the firepower of the HNA ship itself, referring to the shooting effects recorded in the past, the casualties caused by these rounds of naval gun strikes are not too great , the performance of standard weapons in the docks and palaces is only somewhat beyond expectations, but this is the standard of another place, not here, this one has been equal for decades with wealth and wrist, and the prediction and preparation for foreign attacks are still stuck in 200 years The former country—to deal with it in the same way 200 years ago has shown that Orbis attaches great importance to the enemies he created.

Even though he attached great importance to it and worked hard, the result was so tragic—this is not a battle, but a one-sided crush.When this day appeared in the early morning, no one could have foreseen that this would be the biggest disaster day since the establishment of the kingdom. For the people living in this city, this was a nightmare waiting to wake up. The scene is also like a nightmare to the elves.The fat middle-aged man struggled desperately, but the slender arm was stronger than steel, and the elf pushed his head forward.

"Look!" she snapped, "Look at your capital, look at your country!"

The king closed his eyes tightly, weeping, "You! You—you demons! Demons! Monsters from the ground! Damn heretics! You did it! You did it!!"

The elf threw him to the ground, the king propped himself up, looked out tremblingly, choked a few times, and then wailed loudly.The elves turned their heads and walked inward, and those who were still alive had been driven to the corner. Some cried and pleaded, some trembled and wept, some were silent, everyone was pale, and they were in a daze. Turning around, it sets off the hard-hearted men in white who are dragging the corpse.The sporadic gunfire in the corridor outside the door has gone silent. Under the half-destroyed door, the captain helped a man sit up, took out a bottle, and gave him something to drink.

The Duke woke up. He coughed twice, supported his head and hissed, and then opened his eyes.

...What happened——he saw the corpse, the sun room that was hit by a hurricane, and the crying king lying on the ground outside the prismatic door. He remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. What happened during this period?

"You have lost," said the captain.

"This is the palace..." the Duke said hoarsely, "How are you going to leave?".

"The twin towers have fallen, all the mages in sight are dead, and many more are dead," said the captain, and he glanced outside. "Also, three walls are broken. Our men are on the way."

The Duke looked at him in shock, and the captain helped him up from the ground. The Duke staggered, trying not to look at the pile of corpses by the wall, and walked out, not looking at the beautiful figure next to the corpse. The enemies in the dead zone walked out of the terrace, looking down at the same place not long ago from the same angle. The Duke saw the huge gap in the city wall and the severely damaged streets near the gap. He looked down the Silver Avenue and saw A full circle of the pier was expanded, and a white ship was moored in the harbor, and there were two identical ships outside the harbor.

Three white ships.

Dizzy, the Duke remembered what others had said before planning the matter: "They can transport such a huge amount of supplies, what if they were replaced by human beings?"

The three giant ships formed a triangle, and the corners pointed directly to the central axis road, facing the palace far away.On both shoulders of the top of the hill, the ruins of the overturned towers are as terrifying as broken teeth and bones. Sand and gravel fragments are scattered all over the square in front of the palace, and corpses are scattered in various postures. As far as the eye can see, only the platform under the long steps and the pine forest There were also some living people performing their duties, and all they could do was make some useless defensive postures. The captain of the white ship stood naked with him on the prominent balcony, and these figures raised their weapons in vain. However, at this distance, even the magic arrows cannot fly up.

The king was still crying, and the Duke stood in bewilderment and looked around blankly. He could hardly accept the reality before his feet. "What happened?"

"That's a question you should ask yourselves," said the captain.

The Duke suddenly turned his head, and rushed forward. He grabbed the captain's lapel, veins throbbing on his forehead, with a sad expression on his face, "You, you devils—"

The captain held his wrist and pushed it away slowly but forcefully, "There must be a cause and an effect. Didn't you think about it when you planned to destroy us? Or did you only think about the consequences of victory instead of failure?"

The Duke took a step back, tongue-tied: "We—"

How can a war start without thinking about the consequences of failure?But how can you win if you think about failure first?Especially when there is an alliance of mages from five domains and ten countries standing behind them, and when there is support from the monarchs of other countries regardless of cost?The Duke looked at the captain's cold face, and then at the scene of disaster down the mountain. After a while, he slumped his shoulders and said bitterly: "In any case, you won—"

He looked at the captain who did not express his joy.

"And then?" asked the Duke hoarsely, "what do you want? Do you want this city, this country, or—"

"We want to know why," said the captain, "why this senseless conflict happened, where did your hatred come from, and who else pushed for what interests besides the reasons you said? These attacks."

"That's all?" asked the Duke.

"Of course there are other problems," said the captain. "We can solve those problems in other ways."

The voices on the terrace came into Shia's ears, and the ears of elves were like mirrors. The sound of conversation, breathing, footsteps, clothes rubbing, blood dripping on the carpet, tears being wiped away and poured out, all kinds of sounds reflected into In the three-dimensional picture of this small hall, she stood in front of the corpses piled up in one place, watching their solidified dead states, the excitement of fighting gradually faded from her limbs, and her mood gradually calmed down.Colleagues tacitly left space for her, and only those nobles who had escaped from the dead were peeping at her. They might think that this woman who seemed to be an elf was confessing, or performing some kind of mourning ceremony, because her expression showed a moving feeling. The sorrow of the heart.Although in the previous battles, she was decisive and swift, her strength and speed were not human, and she brought death like a storm.

Shia was indeed sad, but not for these dead people.She is one of the best fighters under the Queen's command. Years have proved her ability. Some killings may make her uncomfortable, but they won't make her really sad. It's just that today's scene reminds her of the warlock once. chat.

"What I do will not bring peace." Said the young man who felt comfortable just sitting there as long as he didn't stare into those eyes. "In the early stage, struggle may be the main theme."

She questioned.

"On the one hand, it is difficult to avoid economic and ideological disputes. If this kind of contradiction related to the foundation of the regime cannot be alleviated by appropriate means, it is a natural development to rise to bloody conflict. As long as you go out, the process of trade will be due to The obvious gap in efficiency, no matter what our intentions are, will cause de facto economic aggression. For ordinary countries and regions, even if they can’t see the real troops entering, it is also unbearable.” The magician said, “ We can keep the currency in the local area, although apart from land and population, it is difficult for them to exchange other equivalents with our goods to complete the internal circulation of the currency. At the same time, we can also use bribery and other means to win over, or buy titles , or choose unsatisfactory nobles to train as our agents, or try other methods according to local conditions to reduce the suspicion and resistance of the ruling class to us... But the objectivity of the contradiction lies in the fact that from the moment it appears, it is not based on people The will of the people is transferred. Taking away a large amount of money will lead to a rapid deterioration of the living conditions of the people at the bottom, because the ruling class that lacks self-control has few other stable sources of income; staying in the local area can make some adjustments to this situation. Another process - after the local business loses its competitiveness and resistance, we will naturally expand our operations to fill the vacancy and form a more efficient information and transportation network. If it is a traditional social structure, the communication method is relatively simple Then, it is equivalent to implanting an external circulatory system, squeezing or replacing the original blood arteries, and further isolating the connection between different classes..."

The magician turned his face slightly and listened to her words.

"Things in the world are really unpredictable, guesses can only be one or two out of ten, and previews are also difficult to summarize the ever-changing people's hearts. Without practice, any design is just fantasy." The artist said, "So there is another aspect that determines the direction of the facts. The most important aspect affecting the future is our purpose. When young people go out and perform various pioneering tasks, their motivation to exert their abilities and actively participate in external affairs is out of curiosity and adventure, or because they want to show themselves. Find a sense of superiority from the gap, or to improve experience, accumulate qualifications, or——for the liberation of oneself and others?"

His tone was calm, "The last one, if there is no accident, the conflict will develop in the most intense way."

Wars run through the history of mankind, and the killing will never stop.

This normal state does not change because of the nobleness of the purpose and the radicalness of the means.

A sorcerer from another world is special, not only among all the elves have ever met, but also in the world itself.

The races on the other side of the rift did not know when they broke through. Before they came, the world might have set off a storm.
