Chapter 236: Quickly set up, get on the boat, and battle situation in various places
Taking advantage of the close relationship with General Cruyff and the speed advantage of striking first, in just two days, he spent less than a thousand gold coins to collect all the "tattered" trophies belonging to Azurite City.
, a total of forty-six "War Iron Fist". Thanks to the fact that the Azurite Legion faced off against the tyrannical Khumbu City in several battles, and the armor-piercing bursting arrows were the effective nemesis of War Iron Fist, such gains were achieved.
.As for the scattered magic puppets in the hands of other northern city-states, Cruyff also agreed to coordinate and capture them, as long as Moriarty made a certain proportion of exchanges with armor-piercing arrows.
Compared with the bronze golem's hardware, the goblin mage's job of recruiting drivers is much smoother.
Thanks to the goblin tribe's harsh "internal review tradition", few southern prisoners of war are not worried about being severely punished by political liquidation after returning to their hometown after the war. Therefore, even if the wind is released, there are hundreds of goblin prisoners of war.
I am willing to "abandon darkness and turn to light" and eagerly look forward to joining the "warm family" of Olympus.
Due to the quota limit, after careful selection, Henry only recruited 30 "great guys" who were young, strong, smart, and had no family worries, and many of them were multi-purpose.
, "composite talents" with professional and technical qualities such as "third-level carpentry", "second-level blacksmith" or "machine maintenance work experience".
As for Moriarty's big move, many people also saw the clue. However, if they wanted to intervene again, they found that the time was too late, and with Hockenheim's backing, ordinary people could not do anything to Olympus.
"Master Henry. How is the repair test going?"
After taking down the "Iron Fist of War", Moriarty immediately arranged for Henry to start repairing and assembling the parts, while he was responsible for repairing the damage to the internal alchemy circle.
"The test results are good. After preliminary screening, we can reassemble at least 18 war iron fists that can be put into actual combat. At the same time, we will also get a batch of supplementary parts with qualified performance as inventory."
Henry led a group of goblin craftsmen who were very busy. At the same time, puppet drivers were gradually selected and received relevant operational training.
"Very good, but we must hurry up. Once we arrive in Erathia, we will directly go to the battlefield to fight the devil."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" the goblin mage assured confidently.
A few days later, the Azure Legion and the Azure Mage Group set off back to Azurite City. Naturally, Olympus returned with them.
On the way, Moriarty explained to Uncle Schmidt his plan to go to Erathia to volunteer to fight. The mid-level mage neither agreed nor objected to this, and seemed to have expected it.
After returning to Azurite City, Moriarty announced that all members would rest for three days. However, it was only for ordinary soldiers. As for the mid-level backbones, they needed to make various preparations non-stop for the new journey in the near future.
"Morty. I want to go to Erathia with you."
When she learned that her fiancé was about to go on an expedition to her homeland, Haierna proactively and resolutely expressed her willingness to go forward and retreat with the army for the first time.
"Fighting the devil..."
"It's okay, don't worry about me." Moriarty thought of persuading the other party to stay in the safe Azurite City. Haierna had solemnly stated her position again.
"…All right."
Seemingly understanding why his fiancée was so stubborn about going on an expedition together, Moriarty finally agreed. Accordingly, he also decided to move the entire Earth studio to the front line to produce various war supplies for Olympus nearby.
A week later, preparations were completed one by one, and a large amount of alchemical materials that could not be replenished in Erathia were purchased. The entire Olympus team, together with the magic apprentices and craftsmen of the Earth Studio, boarded the Dayun airship and began to head towards
The northern kingdom of Erathia flies away.
"Staff officer, the magic sand table is under round-the-clock surveillance. The reconnaissance range is extended to the farthest. Be careful of the 'Fire Sultan''s sneak attack."
Among the demon legions, the only ones with the ability to fly are the "Fire Sultan" who has the dual combat power of a high-level fire mage and a high-level warrior, and the "Great Demon", the ultimate powerhouse among demons. Among them, the Great Demon and the Great Arcanist
, similar to the temple, they are rare and difficult to see. Therefore, Moriarty specifically asked the old werewolf to monitor the situation around the flight path at all times to prevent being attacked by the extremely fast flying Fire Sultan.
"Henry, there are about five days until we arrive in Kent. We must study the installation of a 'plug-in' for War Iron Fist as soon as possible. The main thing is the combination of balance and mobility. The goal is the 'mobile fire platform' plan that we discussed with you before.
"
Similar to adding an armor-piercing arrow launcher to the red crystal gargoyle, after having a company of War Fist, Moriarty naturally hopes to add long-range strike capabilities to the magic puppet. However, the humanoid War Fist itself has a disadvantage in terms of speed and stability.
There are certain restrictions and shortcomings, so how to add this plug-in is still a problem, and it needs repeated attempts to solve it.
"White, our destination is the town of Yate in Kent County, which is the new base of the Ensberg family. It's up to you to navigate after entering Erathia..."
"Margaret, when passing through the hurricane wasteland airspace, you may encounter Krulod's "Thunderbird Air Ride" patrol, and you will need to negotiate with it..."
"Bruno, I leave the lookout post to you. The magic sandbox is not omnipotent, and there are also unpredictable blind spots. The magic archer's excellent eyesight and dark night vision are an important part of ensuring Dayun's security..."
"Guderian, from now until arriving in Yate Town, drinking is prohibited on the Dayun. You set an example and supervise the Balalaika brothers..."
The more people under his command, the more things Moriarty had to worry about. After working for most of the day and arranging everything, he had a little rest and had a simple lunch with Heyna.
In the following days, the Dayun airship really seemed to be a solitary cloud floating in the sky, moving slowly but quickly towards the northwest. It was calm and calm along the way, whether it was in the glacier area or after entering the hurricane desert.
The large yellow sand area seems to be deserted from the air. Whether it is the local indigenous people, the passing caravans, or the bandit groups roaming in the wilderness, it seems that all of a sudden there is no trace.
On the morning of the fourth day, the Dayun finally flew out of the Hurricane Wasteland and officially entered the land of Erathia.
Standing on the airship, Moriarty looked at the ground a thousand feet below with a deep expression on his face.
There, large areas of red cover the land like an ocean, and manors, market towns, and even castles are like islands submerged in it. Many originally prosperous human villages have been reduced to ruins, and fireworks, blood, and killings are as dazzling as ever.
Like paint, under the waving of an invisible brush, it was smeared and scribbled on the kingdom's land wantonly.
The most eye-catching among them is Fort Fort.
This majestic fortress, one of the few in Erathia, finally had the opportunity to face the enemy and its own blood, using its towering walls and unyielding will to resist the bloody mouth of the devil for mankind.
Just passing by the horizon in the distance, everyone on the Dayun was stunned by the dense wave of blood-colored demons that were swarming like ants towards the high wall of the castle. In the air, the rich blood almost covered the clouds.
It was dyed red. From time to time, fireballs rained down densely, bombarding the head of Fort Fort. At the same time, rows of crossbow arrows were shot down from the arrow towers and crenellations of the city wall from time to time, piercing the rows of little devils into gourds.
"Morty!" White clenched his fists and his face turned livid.
"We can't go there now. If we go, we will die."
Moriarty naturally knew why his followers were so excited. However, it was impossible for the Dayun to join the battle on the ground, or to even get a little closer. The "red lightning" that flashed from time to time over Fort Fort was just right.
It is the afterimage left behind by the Fire Sultan after flying at an extremely fast speed. As long as Moriarty dares to fly any closer, he will definitely be discovered by the opponent and set fire to it. Even if the Dayun can successfully land by then, the thousands of demons on the ground will
The Legion will also eat everyone until even the bones and dregs are left.
"You and I have seen Fort Fort with our own eyes. It is considered a solid city on the mainland, and the garrison inside is also very powerful. No matter how powerful the devil is, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. So the people in the fort
It should be safe for the time being.”
Looking at White again, Moriarty comforted him.
"I understand." White was just worried about Trish's safety to the point of being confused by caring. He nodded immediately: "Let's solve the problem in Kent County first. If there is a chance, we can go back and 'see' the Fort."
"kindness."
After traveling far around Fort Fort, the center of the battle, and after another day or so of flying, the Dayun finally arrived in Kent County.
Compared to the kingdom's southeastern border where the fighting is raging, Kent County slightly behind is obviously much "calmer". Of course, the so-called calm is just a relative term. Through high-altitude observation, we also saw a large number of demons.
He had entered the county and was looting and killing everywhere. However, to Moriarty's surprise, when he flew by Rhineburg, where the Luo Yanta family was located, he found that Rhineburg, known as the "Southeast Fortress of the Kingdom", had actually fallen.
.
In Moriarty's original vision, the Royata family should be able to withstand the invasion of demons by relying on its high walls, deep trenches and the prospect of attacking the title of viscount. Even if all the surrounding farms are lost, at least its core Rheinburg as Kent
The important strategic fulcrum of the county and the gateway to and from the county should not be breached within a year.
But now that Rheinburg has been sunk early and a major barrier in Kent has disappeared, it is conceivable that the war situation in the county must be much more intense and severe than originally estimated.
"I wonder what the situation is like in Yate Town?"
Looking at Rheinburg that had turned into a devil's abode, Moriarty couldn't help but worry about whether the Ensberg family was still holding on. (To be continued...)
