A rumbling sound kept coming, but Charles II was moving forward with a numb expression in the sound of artillery fire. In front of him, there were many soldiers running in panic on the road full of gravel and blood. Some of the wounded soldiers who were panicked even lost their arms, but in order to escape the hellish artillery fire attack, they were still gritting their teeth and running towards the city gate - many people wanted to escape from the city, because they continued to stay here, and no one knew whether the artillery fire would fall on their heads...

"His Majesty!"

With a scream, the blue magic shield appeared around Charles II's body. Then, in a robe and a magician Crohn, holding a dark red wand, landed next to him. After returning from the "Magic Exchange Meeting", Crohn, Scarlett, Strange and others went to the Dragon Tower to learn and communicate with the Dragon Clan, but he was also captured by Queo and went to the front line to assist in the battle after the war broke out.

Several other mages worked hard to assist in the operation in logistics. Crohn was assigned a task to resist possible enemy sneak attacks behind the city. After all, before the enemy situation moved, most of the time it was necessary to consider whether there were any movements in other directions, digging tunnels, and night attacking city walls were the norm for siege battles.

Therefore, Crohn also escaped the initial round of artillery attacks.

When he realized the seriousness of the problem, he immediately flew to help protect Charles II, but was almost hit by the second round of artillery. If he hadn't been lucky, Crohn's ice shield would have no difference from the fragile wooden board in front of the terrifying kinetic crystal shell.

At this time, he finally found the embarrassed Charles II. Crohn immediately came over to cast a spell to protect the monarch, but he found that the once energetic monarch was now ashamed. When he looked at him, his eyes were extremely dull: "Crohn? You are here..."

He did not say any orders, but just continued to walk forward. Crohn knew that this was not a solution, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I escort you back to the imperial city now! We need to find someone to collect the soldiers here. The enemy's attack is too fierce. We cannot wait for death in the city like this!"

"Who are you looking for?"

Charles II pointed to the northern city wall that had been blown up dozens of meters: "How many people can continue to fight for me?"

Then he patted Crohn on the shoulder: "Don't worry about me for now. How many people can you save with your spells, go there to help them first."

"His Majesty…"

Crohn heard a deep sense of despair from his words, but should he listen to the emperor at this time? Listen, Charles II might be killed in the next second. If he doesn't listen, is it considered disobeying the monarch's order?

"Run! Run!"

Suddenly there was a noise behind him. The two of them turned around and found that the west city gate not far away was opened by soldiers guarding the city. Countless people ran out like crazy when they saw the gate open. In this case, people instinctively believed that outside the city was safer than inside the city, because there were no enemies outside, and staying in the city could be blown into pieces at any time.

The panic of defending the city in the era of cold weapons comes from the breaking of the city walls and the enemy pouring into the city. At this time, everyone hid in the city that they thought they were safe, but found that they were still at the risk of being bombed to death...

What's even more terrifying is that no one knows where the next shell will fall. Without seeing the enemy, this unknown panic is far more devastating than the simple news of "enemy entering the city" - after the city gate was opened, because there were too many people rushing out, many in the front row were stepped on the feet on the spot, and they could not even get up and were trampled to death by the crowds wrapped in the rear...

Seeing this chaos, Charles II became even more desperate. He waved his hand: "Go and save people, don't worry about me."

Just as the magician Crohn was hesitating, a circle of flames suddenly came around. He was startled and after a closer look, he realized that this was a large shield condensed by elements. The violent magic fluctuations made him turn around. Lord Quio stood beside Charles II with a gloomy face and said, "Follow me."

The lord who had disappeared before was actually just casting spells to protect the nobles who had not been killed yet - he knew very well that he must work hard to ensure the survival of these guys in order to continue to make them puppets in the future. If Everta's shelling defeated the core layer, it would be meaningless to leave Charles II alone, a "poor commander".

But he did not expect that the shelling of the Iversta position would have been round after round. If he hadn't acted quickly, Charles II would have been almost killed on the spot.

The anger in Quio's heart continued to accumulate in the artillery fire, but he could still keep himself as rational as possible at this moment. He raised his hand to wrap Charles II with a shield, and he floated up directly and took the latter to the highest bell tower in the center of the city. Crohn, who was trying to speak but stopped beside him, was completely ignored by him.

The latter looked at the two far away backs and sighed silently. The whistling of shells hit again, and his face did not change, and he held up his shield and flew forward - at this time, he could only choose to continue to execute the orders before Charles II... and use spells to try to save the wounded.

When Charles II arrived in front of the bell tower, he suddenly found many nobles in front of him who were dressed in rags and covered in dust on his face.

"Stay inside."

Quio left this sentence, turned around and flew in another direction. Charles II looked at the miserable nobles in front of him. Most of them were in their prime. Several of the old nobles with silver hair were also energetic before they entered the battle. But at this time, everyone was sitting on the ground in a desperate situation. Many injured people were gritting their teeth and enduring the pain. When they saw Charles II coming, they did not salute or shout slogans immediately as before, but turned their eyes to the monarch, waiting for him to say something.

But where did Charles II have the mood to inspire these nobles at this moment?

Before even seeing the enemy, one-third of the entire city was blown up, and most of the gathered troops were killed and injured. Now even people opened the city gate and fled out... Anyone with some military standards understood that this battle had been defeated!

Charles II stood there in a daze for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, slowly walked to the wall and sat on the ground without any image.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the dragon clan takes action or not, because Charles II has lost the foundation of his rule - a commander without military power, who will continue to obey his call?

His behavior made other nobles lower their heads. Before anyone could express anything, the roar of the next round of artillery bombardment was connected around. A shell was directly hit by the top of the bell tower. The explosion of the impact half exploded and collapsed downwards. This scene shocked everyone. However, Charles II sat there but did not hide at all. He raised his head, as if he was welcoming his ending...

But then these stones that fell to the ground were blocked outside by a barrier.

Quio asked them to stay here because they released a strong enough barrier in advance. Even though the bell tower was bombarded into ruins, these nobles still lived well in the barrier. But for them, the surrounding scenes made them even more sad: they looked around and saw that the buildings in the central inner city, the city walls and even the originally flat streets had almost been damaged. After the rushing fragments of the building landed, they could even see many soldiers who had originally fled, who were mentally broken by the violent shelling, kneeling there and covering their faces and crying loudly.

Who can say that there is still a possibility of turning the tables in this kind of war?

Standing in the ruins, Queo was facing the violent explosion and impact in person. His shield kept flashing with orange light, blocking all damage outside. In fact, as long as he floated upwards for more than ten meters, he could basically avoid these damage. But now standing here, Queo was more like using this to accumulate inner anger to find a reason to make a decision...

Thinking that no other dragon clans appeared in this war until now, Quio couldn't help but feel a little regretful: when he reached a contract with the lords with the help of the "Time and Space Rift", he did not consider letting them participate in this war at all, but just to let other dragon clans support the royal "Dragon Tower" professor project. Therefore, the Red Dragon clan at this time may have become a joke in the eyes of other dragon clans!

Quio had to admit that Everta's combat power was completely beyond his imagination: with such artillery fire strikes in front of him, the other three royal families would have the same consequences.

But does this mean that you have to give up?

In fact, Quio has no way out - giving up now, it doesn’t matter if the royal family is over, but where is the face of the Red Dragon Clan? How much can there be left in the Dragon Clan in the future?

What made Quio feel even more palpitations was the strength shown by these humans in front of him... In the concept of the dragon clan, human war is the battle of ants, and no matter how many people there are, they will never threaten the dragon clan.

But the continuous bombardment of the shield made Quio change this perception: if a young dragon standing here was not much better than the corpses next to him. And even a young dragon clan as young as Iscar, if he was in such a position without advance protection, he might still be killed by the attack of crystal shells!

In other words, the strike ability that humans possess can already threaten the dragon clan...

This is like the Earl of Rice who rebelled in the Everta Cabinet - he has no shortage of food and clothing, but he has tried his best to destroy Everta's path to unification, in order to defend the class interests of his original "Great Lord".

And Quio, now he has also noticed such a crisis.

The sound of artillery fire stopped. He gritted his teeth and was about to leave, but the roar of propellers came from the air. After returning to heavy load, the "Albatross" flew directly over the city of Enrique - because of the large target, its bombing height reached three thousand meters this time.

Quio looked at the plane and threw the bomb down. He narrowed his eyes and watched the huge bomb land not far in front of him...

"boom!"

The impact of the crystal cannon far exceeds that of the crystal cannon shattered the first layer of shield outside Quio's body on the spot. Although another "Flame Sun Wall" that was passively stimulated blocked the subsequent impact, the dragon clan lord still took two steps back due to the terrifying shock...

After the smoke and thick fog dissipated, a huge pit more than three meters deep was left on the ground. There were still no standing buildings in the range of 20 meters. Only the location where Quio stood was slightly preserved because of the "Flame of the Sun". Only the burning flames and charred black after high temperatures remained in other areas.
