Chapter 253 Return to Windsor, the same old man, the same Mathil
Three hours later, the Dayun crossed half of Kent County and arrived in the airspace of Windsor Castle.
Looking from a distance, one could see a large number of demons surrounding the Vicomte Castle like a torrent. Even at noon, there were still large groups of demons attacking the castle from all directions. The madness was shocking.
However, compared to the unremitting attacks of demons outside the city, the defense of Windsor Castle is as hard and stable as a rock. Even without looking closely, everyone on the airship can already see the dots of light that light up from time to time on the castle wall.
It is the halo of various colors that lights up when the mid-level warrior is at full firepower.
"Staff officer, how is the analysis of the battle situation?"
In the captain's cabin, Moriarty retracted his gaze from the porthole and looked at the old werewolf.
"The total number of demons besieging Windsor Castle exceeds five thousand, of which the number of mid-level horned demons exceeds a hundred. But fortunately, there don't seem to be many high-level demons here, and only five reactions have been found so far. Moreover, there is no fire
Flying units such as Sultans or Fire Chiefs. According to the defense type of Windsor Castle, it may be difficult to pose a fatal threat to a castle densely populated with mid-level warriors just by relying on the clusters of little devils and horned devils."
Lausewitz pointed to the light spots of different colors on the magic sand table and explained unhurriedly.
"Damn, there are only five high-level demons in such a big Windsor Castle, so why did three big guys come to Rheinburg yesterday to 'have fun'!? Bullying us?" It seems that there are not enough high-level demons below.
"I guess yesterday's Flame Chief came from the battlefield of Windsor Castle." Ignoring the silver-bearded dwarf's presumption, the old werewolf said to Moriarty again.
"reason?"
"Before, Rheinburg has been occupied by demons, so there is no need to waste such powerful combat power as high-level demons. But after we succeeded in attacking the city yesterday, three high-level demons came to support us in a short period of time, obviously temporarily from other war zones.
The Fire Chief's flying speed is much faster than that of the Demon Overseer and the Three-Headed Dog of Purgatory, but the three arrived almost at the same time, which shows that the distances between them are different. Therefore, I judge that the Demon Overseer and the Three-Headed Dog are from closer places.
in the direction of 'Merillan', while the Flame Chief came from the farther away Windsor Castle."
"Well, this inference is reasonable." Moriarty nodded.
"And the reason why there is a shortage of high-level demons in the battlefield below. I think it is probably not just Windsor Castle. It is that the entire Kent County is in a state of 'shortage' of high-level demons." Then, Clausewitz added.
.
"Why?" Guderian tilted his head and looked puzzled.
"Because they all went to the Fort." This time, Moriarty gave the answer directly.
"That's exactly it. Compared to the 'backward' Kent County, Fort Fort obviously attracts the attention of the devil's high-level officials. Therefore, it is likely that all the heavy troops were concentrated there. Only partial divisions were sent to sweep the surrounding kingdom counties."
The old werewolf also nodded and followed.
"If that's the case, then the situation in Kent is not as bad as imagined. What's even more advantageous is that it seems that Viscount Salk and Viscount McLellan don't know such information." At this time, Harder, who was silent next to him,
Luo suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Moriarty glanced at the old steward.
"Sometimes, information asymmetry means massive gold coins and huge interests. Your Excellency, I think the viscounts who are worried about the war situation should assume more 'significant' obligations in the next cooperative alliance." Ha.
Dro bowed slightly and said.
"Well... you make some plans and report to me in ten minutes. But don't go too far."
After thinking about it, Moriarty nodded. The old steward stopped talking and stood back to the side, lowering his head to think.
"Bruno, use armor-piercing bursting arrows to bombard the demons on the ground. This can be regarded as saying hello to Viscount Salk. Don't let our friendly forces accidentally attack the airship." Turning his head, Moriarty said to the three-flower elf again.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After receiving the order, Bruno immediately walked out of the cabin and took off the elf bow from his back.
At the same time, in Windsor Castle, the Salk warriors who were struggling to resist the demon siege also discovered the Great Cloud approaching quickly from the horizon. The natives of Erathia, who had never seen a goblin airship, immediately exclaimed, thinking that
Here comes the powerful flying demon reinforcements.
However, before they could prepare to face the new "enemy" in a hurry, suddenly, a dazzling arrow shot down from the "flying monster". A moment later, a huge fireball appeared directly in front of Windsor Castle.
There was a sudden explosion in a place meters away. In the roaring heat storm, large swaths of little demons were screamed and torn into pieces or burned into coke. Without waiting for the previous flames to shrink, suddenly, another arrow shot down from the sky. The same thing.
A violent explosion and the same blazing fire drowned a group of demons again. But this time, the impact point of the arrow was close to 500 meters in front of the castle.
"Okay! Okay! Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"
Even the most obtuse person, when he saw many little demons being killed directly with two arrows, completely understood that the objects coming from the air must be friendly forces.
"Lord Viscount!"
At this time, under the escort of a group of elite soldiers, Viscount Salk walked quickly to the top of the city.
"what happened?"
We haven't seen each other for several years, but Viscount Salk seems to have remained unchanged. Wearing a battle armor and holding a rectangular silver pendant, the old man still has the majestic power of a hawkish veteran.
"Sir, reinforcements have arrived."
As the previous top commander of the troops guarding the city wall, the seventh-level warrior Sidek strode to the Lord's side and shouted excitedly.
"Reinforcements?"
Following the direction of Sidek's finger, Viscount Salk noticed the Big Cloud that was approaching above his head.
"Is it Brakada's goblin airship? Hmm? Earth emblem!?" Immediately, the old man exclaimed in rare surprise.
"Sir, do you know what that is?" The seventh-level warrior looked at the viscount strangely and asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense!" Viscount Salk glared at his subordinates and said without any nonsense: "Immediately clear the playground in front of the inner castle and make room for the enemy to land. Also, send someone to call Mathil.
Let’s go together to greet you.”
"Yes, Lord Viscount." Although he was still confused, Sidek turned around and carried out the order without hesitation.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that this kid would actually come back to help. Haha, this guy Philip is really good at teaching his children." He looked up at the airship that came down to Windsor Castle, and the old man laughed to himself.
With a cry, he turned around and went down to the city.
"Okay, the enemy has cleared the landing site, let's land."
On the Dayun, Moriarty took a bird's-eye view of Windsor Castle from the air. At a glance, he realized that he had not been here for many years, and he didn't know what happened to the pearl now.
About ten minutes later, the goblin airship parked steadily in front of the inner castle. Not far away, Viscount Salk was already waiting with a smile on his face. Behind him, a delicate figure was wearing a bright purple cloak.
, eagerly looking forward to it.
The gangway fell, and this time, Moriarty stepped off the airship first.
"Haha, welcome, young man! Welcome to Windsor Castle again at this time!"
Seeing Moriarty, who was completely self-reliant and had a mature air of a superior, Viscount Salk immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Lord Viscount. You are still as majestic and powerful as before."
Seeing the old man's cheerful and affectionate smile, Moriarty couldn't help but smile, and bowed respectfully to the other man in accordance with the aristocratic etiquette of Erathia.
Although the Viscount had taken a different approach many years ago and wanted to use Moriarty to pry open the "iron plate" of Ensberg, the old man was still mostly friendly and supportive of him. So in general, Moriarty
Artie still has a close relationship and respect for Viscount Salk.
"Haha, I can't do it anymore, I'm old!" The Viscount didn't wait for the other party to finish his salute, and stepped forward to give him a big hug, as if he were meeting comrades: "Motty, you have really grown up now. You are no longer the same person you were before.
'Little unlucky guy'."
"Haha, compared to your seniors, I'm still far behind."
Moriarty shook his head and ignored the old man's "provocation" that took advantage of every opportunity. He just smiled and said humbly. After not seeing him for so many years, it seems that the Viscount has not given up using him as a breakthrough to "address key problems."
"Hello, Mattie, long time no see." After dealing with Viscount Salk's warm welcome, Moriarty turned around and looked at the beauty in purple beside him with a smile.
"Long time no see, Morty."
As if they were close friends with a deep tacit understanding, Mathil also smiled lightly and said hello. But there was a fire burning in those blue eyes.
In Moriarty's eyes, even though she had not seen her for so many years, the Salk Pearl was as delicate and bright as before. Time seemed to have lost all traces on her body, and time passed like water, but the beauty's peach face remained.
At this moment, a wisp of breeze blew by, blowing up the woman's golden bun. Moriarty felt as if he had gone back in time and met his beloved for the first time.
Seeing the other party's inexplicably stagnant eyes, a flowery smile also bloomed on Mathil's face.
"Okay, let's go in first. Just standing here is too boring."
As if he had not seen the silent interaction between Moriarty and Mathil, Viscount Salk suddenly smiled again and said.
"Yes. But this time I was a little rude. I forgot to bring a gift."
Hearing the laughter, Moriarty also "woke up", his vision returned to clarity, and he immediately smiled.
"Haha, no matter what gift you are talking about, your coming is the best gift!"
After speaking, without pausing, the old man directly took Moriarty's hand and walked towards the inner castle.
Seeing this, in addition to Clausewitz and the gunfire team who stayed behind the airship, others immediately followed. (To be continued...)
