Archduke Frank waved his fist angrily: "What is Catalonia doing? This is a blatant invasion!"
The intelligence chief said quietly: "Now we know what happened in Yisonzo. Yisonzo became a friendly country to Catalonia overnight. It should be like this."
Grand Duke: "This is an invasion! It's an invasion! We want..."
General Manager: "Want to complain to Monrovia? Ever since the river countries were invaded by Monrovia, they have never been able to form an effective confederacy. We are a mess, and the big countries next to us can do whatever they want.
"
Archduke Frank paced back and forth: "What happened? We still wanted to attack the rescue team, but we ended up being the fish on the chopping block!"
In common language, this proverb is usually called "meat on the chopping board", but the countries in the river area will naturally have their own characteristics.
Grand Duchess: "At this point, we can only hope that the rescue team can defeat Catalonia."
The Grand Duke glared at his wife: "How can a small team deal with a country? Catalan, like Sissel, has recently implemented reforms and its national power has increased greatly. They have about 8,000 people in one legion. Such a legion has ten people.
Two!
"And among the first legion, every centurion is equipped with an arcane caster. No matter how strong the salvation team is, they can't deal with such an army!"
Grand Duchess: "What should we do now? Give up our country? Like Yi Songzuo did?"
The Grand Duke didn't answer. He stood in front of the window and looked at the burning city outside.
At this moment, a Catalan horn came from outside the castle.
Intelligence Chief: "It seems that the Catalans have a big appetite. They haven't eaten the dock area yet, so they are going to attack us."
The Grand Duke turned to the military commander: "Hold firmly! Wait for the rescue team to defeat the enemy!"
He has already called Catalonia an enemy.
**
On the dock side, Catalan's offensive was temporarily repelled due to the outstanding performance of the dragon.
The Catalan Legion formed a defensive formation at the edge of the pier. The dragon originally wanted to break through, but when it was time to transform into a dragon, it had to regretfully give up the idea.
The rescue team assembled again.
The king's attention was immediately attracted by the dwarf: "Why is there so much blood on your body?"
Flint: "Look at everyone's weapons. Isn't it normal for the weapons to be covered in blood?"
Xiaobai: "Pfft."
Flint: "Laugh, laugh. My Holy Emblem has not stopped heating up since the beginning. Kailin likes to see me being used as a weapon. I have already resigned myself to my fate. I just hope that Kailin will remember to upgrade my Holy Emblem after watching it."
I have already begun to imagine my life as a five-ring pastor."
Nini: "Is it my imagination? Why do I hear the meaning of self-destruction?"
Wang: "Is there any?"
Everyone looked at the king together.
Wang: "Why are you looking at me? I really didn't hear it. Nini, please explain to me why you can hear the feeling of giving up and what numerical changes made you make this judgment."
Flint: "Don't be like this, I'm already miserable enough, don't bury me anymore!"
Wang: "I asked Nini to explain how she became Mi Tai you..."
Xiaobai patted Wang's legs (she could only pat her legs in human form): "Give up, you will never understand the mystery of this for the rest of your life."
At this time, Mrs. Hashir came: "Thank you, at least you eliminated one hundred men from Catalai, which greatly reduced our burden. But it seems that Catalan is really preparing to come."
King: "I captured their centurion. According to the centurion, a Catalan regiment has arrived here."
Hashir was shocked: "A legion? Isn't that at least 8,000 to 10,000 soldiers armed to the teeth? What are they going to do? Are they going to flatten the entire Frank Principality?"
Wang: "That should be it."
Hashir: "The Pelican Gang alone cannot deal with them. We are just a group of dock workers. We are strong enough. We have not received military training. We are just mercenaries who work as junglers. We have no chance of winning against the regular army."
As soon as he finished speaking, the horn from Catalonia came from far away again - no, this time the distance was very close!
Immediately afterwards, the war drums sounded. The Catalan war drums were not as open and close as the orc war drums, and they sounded very light, fine, and dense.
Immediately afterwards, the Catalan soldiers who formed a shield formation pressed against the Pelican Gang's controlled area with the help of fine and dense drum beats.
Wang: "Nini, go to the airship and take a look at the overall movement. How many Catalan soldiers are attacking us."
Nini nodded and was about to run towards the airship's mooring rope, but suddenly stopped, opened her bow and fired two arrows.
The first arrow hit something in the air, and with a flash of lightning, a crossbow bolt was inserted at Elizabeth's feet.
The second arrow flew into the distance.
Nini: "There is an assassin!"
Malika immediately blocked Elizabeth: "Are you coming for your Highness?"
Before he finished speaking, a wave of arrows rose into the sky from the Catalan side.
Judging from the intensity of the arrow rain, at least a hundred archers were firing at the same time, and the target was undoubtedly the rescue team!
Nini immediately cast a spell - although her arcane level can only cast cantrips now, as a ranger, she has the ability to cast divine spells.
"Wind Wall Technique!" As Nini shouted, a barrier appeared, just in time to block the falling arrows.
Flint took out the protective arrow scroll from his dimensional bag and tore it open. A layer of soft light enveloped the entire team.
Marika: "The enemy is obviously targeting us! I suggest retreating into the house!"
Wang: "No, retreat into the house. If the Pelicans can't stop us, we will be surrounded in the house. Pure defense cannot change the situation. We have to attack. Catalans cannot appear out of thin air.
They are not mushrooms!
"Either it's an airship, but there's no other airship landing except us. Or... it's a portal.
"As for the portal, the portal that can allow an entire legion to pass through is not small, and it will be accompanied by strong light. Now we don't see strong light at all, which means that the portal is in the house.
"Mrs. Hashir, what building has an interior space eight meters high and eight meters wide?"
Hashir: "It sounds like the Catalan Embassy meets the requirements. It is a building built by the Catalans. It is built in a shantytown. It is very obvious. You can definitely see it if you stand on the roof of any shack.
Come to the Catalan Embassy.
"By the way, the headquarters of the cult is also nearby. If you want to cause trouble for the cult, you'll be on your way."
Wang: "Mrs. Hasier, can you send a guide who is familiar with the road to take us there?"
Hahir: "Of course. But don't you have an airship? Why don't you just airborne?"
Wang raised his head and looked at the dwarf airship that was left on the ground through the mooring rope.
Wang: "You are right, we should airborne directly."

Kedia Banujulian looked at the salvation team in the crystal ball and snorted: "They actually want to come over and close the portal?"
Master: "This act of throwing yourself into a trap is so courageous."
Oga, the former regional consul general's armed field team leader, clenched his fists with both hands: "I will make sure they never come back."
Kedia looked at the former regional consul general Oudolf: "Your squad leader is very motivated to fight, why don't you show it too?"
Oudolf silently took out his staff: "As you command, Your Highness."
Kedia: "Wait a minute, considering the combat effectiveness of the Salvation Team and their glorious results, you are only a seventh-level ring. They have killed many seventh-level members of the order since they started traveling, and they are rich in experience. It is up to me and the master to handle it.
Come on. You and Captain Oga will guard the hall here."
With that said, Kedia turned to the master: "How long does it take for the Legion to reach the Floating City?"
Master: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is not Catalonia where you can ride a horse and run wild. There are basically no land roads available here. You have to take a boat to go anywhere. We have to seize the dock first and steal the boat before we can go straight to Huanglong."
Kaidia: "Where's the flying force?"
Master: "Without the cooperation of ground troops..."
Kedia: "Now the entire rescue team is in Shallow Water City, and the floating city only has ordinary human warriors at most. Do you think our flying sphinx knights from Catalonia can't even deal with these?"
Master: "You are right, we will send out the flying sphinx troops right now."
