Obviously, the desperate fight by the successor of the Blue Knight with the silver light bursting out was just an illusion.
His true body had already dodged the incoming shells and fled to other places.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the spirit and glory of knights.
Rather, as a direct descendant of a famous family in the Qianyu Empire, he is truly the proud son of heaven.
Unlike those knights who were born as civilians, for them, the glory of knights has never been the standard by which they judge their actions.
When faced with a dilemma, only family interests are the only bargaining chip in the heart.
The Knight of Changji believes that his own survival is far better for his family than a dead hero!
So he made a choice, abandoning his partners behind him at the last moment, and failed to live up to the expectations of his senior executives.
He knew that this would affect the empire's evaluation of him, but as long as he was still alive.
As the successor of the Blue Knight, he is a natural noble of the empire, and no one can take it away from him.
And...as long as he can take that step and become the dominant force of the empire.
By then, can’t the lost honor be easily returned?
In the Canglong City floating fortress, a large number of buildings were directly destroyed by artillery shells, and other places that were not on the route of the artillery shells also suffered.
As the big explosion and shock wave caused by the shell landing spread out, the entire island seemed to have experienced a major earthquake.
"Oh no, more than half of the energy output nodes of the floating stone slab have been destroyed!"
"Damn it, we can't speed up!"
"Damn it!"
In the floating fortress, the chaotic high-level officials were having a headache looking at the intelligence that was constantly being reported.
Another wizard detected that a super-long-distance attack on the City of Miracles was coming.
The city lord of the Canglong City floating fortress sighed, and after communicating with other city lords and the commander, issued the order to land.
After taking another cannonball, not only the Canglong City floating fortress, but also the other two floating fortresses landed on the ground.
"The war artifact left by the opponent's giant is too terrifying. If we continue to fly, we will all be shot down before we reach the City of Miracles!"
The white-clothed general who persuaded other floating fortresses to also land said loudly: "It is better to give up the disadvantages of floating fortresses and take advantage of our many wizards and second-level and above extraordinary experts!"
"Capture the miracle city with foot combat!"
The general in white waved his fist fiercely: "The first person to board the City of Miracles will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and a baron-level fiefdom!"
"charge!"
Upon hearing the general's reward, the officers who got off the floating fortress drew their swords and pointed forward, leading the imperial soldiers to rush over.
Many of the extraordinary and powerful men recruited from the empire also followed the imperial army after receiving a large number of blessings and witchcraft from the wizards.
"Did you abandon the floating fortress?"
The commander of the City of Miracles, holding a telescope and looking into the distance, is the experienced General Babu.
After coming to the City of Miracles from the King's Capital of Steel, he was one of the few generals with perseverance and military talent in Xiao Yu's hands, and was appointed as the city defense commander.
For this reason, General Babu often studied with the craftsmen to understand the functions of various sharp weapons brought by Xiao Yu, the protector of the kingdom.
"Is it a skirmish formation?" General Babu whispered: "The role of the artillery has been reduced."
"General, do you want to continue shooting?" an adjutant asked.
"Of course!" General Babu nodded: "Why stop? We have enough ammunition!"
"Moreover, it has always been His Highness's order to destroy possible floating fortresses!" General Babu said this, guessing: "His Highness prefers to activate its floating stone slabs than the floating fortress!"
"Let our artillery be ready! Take advantage of their longer range than wizards and witchcraft, and teach these sneak attack rats a lesson!"
"Then... where are the city defense troops!"
"Up to the wall!"
General Babu waved his hand, and when the order was issued, a large number of divine guards boarded the walls of the City of Miracles.
But what's different from the walls of many big cities is... the walls of the City of Miracles are actually movable, and there are spaces for installing pulleys every 100 meters at the bottom of the wall.
As the city expands, these walls can continue to move outward to expand the internal space.
Most of these mobile city walls are fifty meters high, mainly made of steel structures, and their thickness reaches five or six meters. Of course, not all such thicknesses are solid, but the average thickness of the steel covering the city walls is about one meter.
There is no need to think that most siege weapons and ordinary extraordinary people can break steel of this thickness.
Therefore, after clearly seeing the reflective walls of the City of Miracles while running, many imperial soldiers widened their eyes.
"Steel... a city wall made of steel!"
"The giant is indeed extremely rich!"
"Such a city wall...can only be climbed up to break the city, right?"
Many soldiers began to hesitate.
"Don't be intimidated!" The officers quickly encouraged their morale: "It must be made of iron!"
"When the wizards use their witchcraft, they will be able to create a gap in an instant!"
The wizards on whom the officers had pinned their hopes quickly stopped and looked at the densely packed projectiles thrown from a distance, with expressions of embarrassment on their faces.
These crossbow arrows from the toothpick crossbow and the fireworks shells from the long-barreled cannon fell into the military formation, producing a large number of results at once.
It also made the wizards feel a sense of crisis.
"It can't go any further!"
A great wizard said: "Just cast the spell here!"
"This... if you cast spells here, can you hit the city of miracles?" asked a city lord who followed.
"No problem, as war wizards, we are professionals."
The leading wizard nodded confidently and glanced at the sky, behind the cannonball that had just flown over his head and landed on the floating fortress.
The great wizard and his group of wizards chanted spells loudly, preparing to perform a large-scale witchcraft.
"It's farther than expected. You can cast spells ten thousand meters away. Can I say that you are indeed a wizard from the empire?"
General Babu touched his chin and looked at the guard in black beside him.
"Please contact His Highness, the enemy's wizards have arrived at the reserved location."
"Yes." The guard in black nodded and quickly started the communication machine to contact his superiors.
More than ten seconds later.
As the wizards of the empire successfully cast a spell, a roaring fire snake was released and crashed into the city wall in front, causing a series of explosions.
"Ouch!"
An eagle's cry came from high in the sky.
The huge body of the Andean condor and its cry arrived above the wizards at the same time.
At the moment when the wizards shouted to be careful, hundreds of extraordinary beings threw ignited alchemy bombs from the backs of the Andean condors.
Boom boom boom!
When the bomb exploded, clouds of miserable green mist filled the air.
Surrounded the wizards and many extraordinary beings around them.
"ah!"
The extraordinary spiritual light of several low-level extraordinary beings only resisted for a second and was completely eroded. Then, they were completely covered in green mist and quickly fell to the ground unable to move.
"Damn, what is this!"
"It's not the kind of chili pepper mentioned in the information!"
"Similar to the corrosive venom witchcraft! The quantity and scope are much larger!"
The great wizard felt that the atmospheric shield witchcraft he and others had released was being rapidly consumed by the poisonous mist spreading all around. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "We must find a way to purify this poisonous mist!"
The poisonous mist in the mouth of the great wizard is actually a poisonous corrosive gas obtained by the wizards by refining the sulfuric acid and nitric acid brought by Xiao Yu.
Considering that it is impossible to use cayenne pepper to deal with wizards when you encounter them.
This time, the royal wizards asked the bombardiers to use this corrosive gas.
It did work. It eliminated the extraordinary beings who protected the wizards, and at the same time, it also greatly consumed the magic power of the wizards.
It's a lot stronger than chili powder which is directly out of reach.
And with the appearance of the Andean Condor.
After being ravaged by the fire snake witchcraft, only part of the surface of the steel city wall was melted, and the main structure was still there, much to the disappointment of the approaching imperial army.
They failed to break through the enemy's wall and still had to climb up the wall to fight.
Just as more than a dozen second-level extraordinary beings took the lead in jumping onto the city wall and fighting with the Divine Guards.
These second-level extraordinary beings suddenly discovered that more than a dozen large pits had suddenly opened up on the ground behind them.
Then many dwarf warriors armed like iron men emerged from the pits under the leadership of the dwarf king!
"For steel!"
The dwarf king swung his sledgehammer and smashed an officer's head flat with the hammer.
"You rats who are trying to steal my clan's materials!"
"Hit me!"
"Long live steel!"
The other dwarves also howled, looking at the imperial soldiers as if they were seeing the enemy who killed their father.
The second-level extraordinary beings on the city wall suddenly became embarrassed.
As vanguard soldiers, they have completed their mission and temporarily withstood the pressure.
However, the companions who were supposed to come up one after another were intercepted by the dwarves.
Several second-level extraordinary beings felt tired and did not dare to fight anymore, so they retreated from the city wall in dejection.
On a mountain peak in the distance.
The successor of the Blue Knight looked at the battle situation, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The empire is very wrong."
"The advantages brought by the wealth of giants are being realized."
"The current City of Miracles, even without the giants, is already a powerful presence that dominates the area!"
"Well said!"
General Nuhal came over with more than a dozen extraordinary beings and surrounded the successor of the Blue Knight who had a shocked expression on his face.
"Let me think about it, the name of this generation of Cang Knight seems to be Qian Cang!"
"He is indeed a proud man of heaven. He is less than thirty, but he has already reached this height!"
General Nuhar said, raising his giant sword: "The proud knight of heaven."
"You have just betrayed the honor of knighthood. What are you going to do now?"
"I..." The Changji Knight clenched the Changji in his hand, looking at everyone around him who seemed to be an extraordinary person who had understood combat skills, and then noticed the mountain-like strong man Nuhar who was obviously stronger than him.
.
Feeling that less than one-fifth of the extraordinary spiritual light was left in his body, he smiled bitterly and said, "Can we trade according to the general rules of nobles?"
"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."
Chapter completed!
