In the early Middle Ages, a huge ball-shaped object flew across the sky. How many reasonable explanations could people give?
Looking down from the dragon's eye?
The Fall of the Son of the Sun?
The evil play of the Chaos Elves?
Hellboy's Grudge?
Nehruv believed in the last explanation because he firmly believed that Reginald was the Hades wizard.
And Calaf is more convinced of the third explanation. He always believes that Reggie is the Chaos Elf.
This spherical object was made by himself according to Reggie's drawings. Reggie called this thing a hot air balloon.
Before this, Khalaf never believed that a balloon made of canvas could carry people into the sky.
Now he believed it, because he and Reggie were sitting in the basket of a hot-air balloon, preparing to launch an air raid on Sophia's camp.
"Lord, are we here?"
"Already arrived, I saw the fire of the enemy camp."
"The gods bless you, my lord! You are the incarnation of the gods!"
"Stop talking nonsense and stand up quickly!"
"I have tried many times. My lord, I cannot stand up. My legs no longer belong to me."
The flying height of a hot air balloon is at least 150 feet, which is equivalent to a twenty-story building.
For Khalaf, who had never participated in any "flying" activities, this height exceeded his cognitive limits.
In fact, no one, including Erwin, wanted to complete the flight with Reggie. Calaf was forced by Reggie to board the gondola of the balloon.
The reason why Calaf was chosen was entirely due to technical considerations. If the balloon malfunctioned during flight, an excellent technician would be far more useful than a guard captain.
Even Reggie himself was not sure about the safety of this hot air balloon, and he did not want to fly towards the enemy's position in a hot air balloon that had never flown before, but he had no choice.
Everyone wanted to find the safest place to finish pretending quietly, but reality did not allow Reggie to do this.
No one has ever seen an air raid, no one has tried an air raid, and no one can even understand the concept of an air raid. Reggie must go into battle himself and prove that his tactics are feasible, otherwise others will just regard him as a madman.
"Stand up quickly, Calaf, the enemy is fleeing!"
Sophia gave the order to abandon the camp. Although she didn't know where the spherical object came from, if it was related to Reggie, it would definitely pose a fatal threat to her military camp.
Seeing the enemies fleeing in all directions, Reggie was extremely anxious. They almost missed the best opportunity to attack. There were three ropes more than a thousand feet long tied to the hot air balloon. The other end of the rope was tied to the stone pillar of the watchtower. Here
The limit of the rope had been reached, and their hot air balloon could not fly further.
But Calaf really couldn't stand up. From the moment the balloon lifted off the ground, he lost feeling in his feet.
The balloon was sinking and its buoyancy was not enough. The Cambrian knights formed a neat team. No matter what the situation, this group of terrifying knights could maintain first-class combat qualities.
They drew their long bows, Salah gave an order, and a swarm of arrows roared towards them.
One arrow hit the gondola of the balloon. Based on the current flying height, the next arrow might hit their balloon at any time.
"Add a little more wind and move faster."
Calaf reached out and pulled the hanging rope of the bellows, and a gust of wind blew into the charcoal stove made by Noros. The charcoal stove was suspended above the hanging basket, and a flame blew into the entrance of the balloon with a roar.
The hot air brought greater buoyancy, and the balloon rose slightly. After confirming that the height was suitable, Reggie held the first bomb with difficulty.
This bomb weighs one hundred pounds, and the shell of the bomb was also made by Nolos. I have to admit that he is really the best blacksmith in Shattering Snow City. It is really not easy to make such a huge iron bucket watertight.
things.
Reggie lit the fuse, but was unable to throw the bomb out of the gondola. The bomb was too heavy and Reggie couldn't use his strength in the shaking gondola.
An arrow flew past his cheek, and blood slid down Reggie's cheek.
"Damn, it hurts." Reggie was very scared. He was really afraid that the next arrow would shoot through his eye.
Reggie was holding the bomb tightly, he could hardly hold it on, but Calaf was hiding in the corner wiping his tears.
"For the sake of the gods, can you help me, just a handful!" Reggie yelled desperately.
Khalaf mustered up his courage, but still did not stand up. He sat in the basket and tried his best to lift the second half of the bomb above his head.
With Calaf's strength, Reggie moved the bomb little by little until he threw the bomb out of the basket. When the bomb fell on the ground, a group of soldiers screamed in despair.
The bomb exploded, and the flames of the explosion were very beautiful, comparable to the light of dancing in the sky (the fireworks of the Bayer Kingdom). Several military tents collapsed, and a large crater more than ten feet wide was blasted in the center of the camp.
.
The power of the explosion was expected, but the effect of the explosion was quite different.
What rose this time was not black smoke, but cloud-like white smoke. White ghosts rose into the sky. The ghosts exploded in mid-air again, turning into small fireballs and falling slowly.
These small fireballs have become the most terrifying demon tonight. Each fireball seems to be searching for prey. As long as it falls on a soldier, it will instantly melt the soldier's flesh and blood.
A soldier was hit by a small fireball. The fireball stuck to his shoulder and instantly burned his skin. Sophia, who was standing far away, could already see the bones on his shoulder.
Some soldiers were directly covered by fireballs and turned into a piece of charcoal in the blink of an eye.
White smoke spread everywhere, and the soldiers shrouded in smoke began to cough and vomit violently.
Sophia believed Nehruv's words. This was the spell of the Hades Wizard. As the strongest existence among wizards, the Hell Wizard's viciousness and cruelty far exceeded the imagination of an ordinary witch.
Seeing her soldiers howling and struggling under the demon's white smoke, Sophia was at a loss, and one sentence echoed repeatedly in her mind.
"You will regret your decision tonight."
She really regretted it, but of course, this was just the beginning of the nightmare.
Soon, the second bomb exploded, and the terrifying white ghost rose into the sky again.
…
"What is this, my lord, and why is there so much white smoke?"
"These are white phosphorus bombs, all four of them."
Reggie prepared a total of four white phosphorus bombs, which were giant iron barrel bombs mixed with a large amount of white phosphorus.
In this era, the price of white phosphorus exceeded that of gold, and no one knew that the "urine wax" that could be used to start fire would turn into a devilish weapon.
After dropping the last bomb, the exhausted Reggie sat back in the gondola, and Calaf threw a grenade into the air. The grenade exploded before hitting the ground, emitting a brilliant red light.
This was a signal flare invented by Reggie. After receiving the signal, Erwin immediately asked the guards to pull the rope and pull the hot air balloon back to Shattered Snow City.
On the way back to the city, Calaf finally regained feeling in his feet. He tried to stand up, lying on the hanging basket and looking down.
This was his first time overlooking the earth from a high altitude, and this was his first time to appreciate such a magnificent sight.
Looking at Suixue Mountain and Suixue City from the air, it turns out they are so beautiful.
The lights in Broken Snow City, the torches on the city wall, and the white smoke and firelight at the foot of the mountain. All kinds of lights complement each other around Broken Snow City. Even the best painter cannot depict such a beautiful scene.
Calaf once again set his sights on the foot of the mountain, where raging white smoke enveloped the enemy camp like clouds.
"Sir, will all enemies die?"
"No," Reggie shook his head, "someone will always leave alive."
"Why didn't you use white phosphorus bombs from the beginning? This thing is much scarier than a barrel bomb."
"If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more people?"
Reggie remembered an ancient poem, which made Calaf tremble for a long time. He thought the lord was going to use magic again.
When making white phosphorus bombs, Reggie warned himself countless times not to use this terrible weapon unless necessary.
Is now a necessary moment? Reggie couldn't tell.
The power of white phosphorus bombs is not only burning, it is also highly corrosive and toxic. In the next few days, the nightmare will always be with Sophia. Can she survive it?
Beautiful princess, I wish you good luck. Starting from tonight, I hope you can remember one thing.
From now on, never be an enemy of Shattered Snow City again, and never be an enemy of Reginald Victor again.
