"It was a giant that was taller than the city wall. When they captured the city, the Golden Eagles didn't even make any resistance."
Dio's description made Reggie a little confused. Being taller than the city wall is a very broad concept. The city wall of Shattering Snow City is only over nine feet high, while the city wall of Golden Lion City is over sixty feet high. Reggie has never been to the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
, simply using the city wall to measure it, he couldn't judge how big the rock demon giant was.
Dio had never seen the Rock Demon Giant. He only listened to the spy's report, but he insisted that it was a combination of the Rock Demon and the Mud Demon.
"The Rock Demon and I have an inseparable relationship," Dio said with a look of regret. "It's a pity that I can't leave the Mountain of the Lost, otherwise I will definitely risk my life to destroy these demons."
It sounds like Dio is blaming himself, but in fact he is insinuating Reggie.
The rock demon has an indirect relationship with Reggie, the mud demon has a direct relationship with Reggie, Dio has the idea of taking responsibility, and Reggie should not escape due to both emotion and reason.
Reggie knew Dio's intention, but had no way to defend it. He was the one who proposed the cooperation in the first place. Since the cooperation, Dio has been conscientious and shared the news with Reggie immediately.
Now that the Mud Demon has appeared, Reggie is still unable to take action.
The relationship between the Golden Eagle Country and the Shattered Snow Country is too special. They have trade exchanges, but they are definitely not allies. They must be cautious even with weapons support, let alone directly sending troops for air strikes.
Reggie glanced at Bachelo, who stood up and saluted: "Dioturito, the Golden Eagle Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the Origino continent. I firmly believe that they can resist the attack of the Rock Demon."
"A powerful empire?" Dio sneered, "Do you really think they are powerful? He has never fought against evil spirits."
"You shouldn't underestimate the strength of the Golden Eagle Kingdom. Before this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought that the White Tower Kingdom could defeat the powerful Fire Demon."
"The fire demons are not powerful demons at all. They are not as good as the wind demons and rock demons, and they are far inferior to Ragasto (the mud demon). Moreover, this victory came by chance. Heavy rain will not fall on the battlefield every time.
.”
"Misfortune will not happen to the battlefield every time. Why not wait for the Golden Eagle Kingdom to send us a surprise?"
Dio was silent for a moment, then looked at Reggie: "Is this how you fight the devil?"
…
The meeting that day broke up unhappily. Seeing that Reggie was very depressed, Batchelor said: "Sir, I know you are eager to eradicate the mud demon, but we cannot rush to send troops to the Golden Eagle Kingdom."
"I know what is right, but I don't know what to do. I watch helplessly as the demons join forces with each other. When they become invincible, the entire continent will eventually turn into ruins.
This is a fate that is destined to end, and the end will come soon. The annual meeting, the theater, the school, the Colosseum, everything will be reduced to dust and ashes. What is the meaning of everything I have worked so hard for?"
Batchelor sighed and said: "I don't know if you have read the ancient scrolls of the Qinges people..."
"Of course I have read. I know they have a common master of the world. What should I do? Conquer all countries and then become their master?"
"Conquest is necessary, but not necessarily through force. In the ancient scrolls, there is a wise king who became the common ruler of the world through the recommendation of other countries."
"That's false. I know the Qinges people very well. They have made up many such histories. They have written in history books that some kings will voluntarily give up their thrones to more wise people. Do you really believe this nonsense?
?”
Batchelor was stunned for a while. He didn't understand why Reggie knew so much about the Qinges people.
But he never asked too much. This is the way of survival for a great bachelor.
"I know there will be false parts in history books, but as long as we match it with other historical materials, we can always find the real thing. Before the election of this common leader of the world, there were more than a hundred countries on the Qinges continent. Later,
There were less than thirty countries left, and nearly eighty countries were wiped out by the evil spirits. The remaining countries were forced to elect new leaders of the world, allowing the Qingas people to persist for decades more."
Reggie's ears trembled, and he thought for a moment and said, "You mean... more blood will be shed?"
"Only by shedding blood can one understand the fear of death and make the right choice."
"But what if the blood dries up?"
"You can deposit more blood in our hands," Batchelor said with a smile, "Please come with me to Camel Island. The gift of the Archmaester of Magic will definitely not disappoint you."
…
Matthias agreed to all Reggie's conditions, including clarifying misunderstandings, informing him of the war situation and capturing prisoners.
He immediately revised the history books and issued documents to various countries. While clarifying the misunderstanding, he also apologized to Shattering Snow Country.
This attitude made Reggie very satisfied. After the airship sent to Golden Spike City was replenished with hydrogen, it began to investigate Jiaoye City and Hanlang River.
An officer named Dettlaff led two airships to the sky above the Hanlang River. They quickly found the ice bridge on the river.
This ice bridge had already melted, and it was impossible for the snowman elder to provide a passage for the fire demon by the river.
However, the Fire Demon suffered heavy losses in the battle, and Esgar could only plead with the elders to help the Fire Demon replenish his troops.
Seeing the moving fire on the ice bridge, Dettlaff understood everything. The courageous officer immediately ordered the bomb to be dropped and prepared to blow up the ice bridge.
The tactics were correct and the preparations were sufficient. Each airship was equipped with twenty incendiary bombs. Even if the accuracy of the bomb delivery was not high, it was enough to destroy the ice cap covering the river.
But they didn't expect the enemy's existence.
Everyone has always believed that Reggie's airship is the only weapon that can fly. Except for the dragon-slaying crossbow, no weapon can defeat the airship.
But they ignored another thing. The orc's beast master can control the war eagle.
When the airship appeared above the Hanlang River, the demon orcs had already discovered their traces, and dozens of war eagles were ready for battle.
War hawks are naturally helpless against airships. They cannot destroy the hard airship shell, but fire demons can do it. Their flames can burn through the gum.
Each war eagle was holding on to an iron cage. The iron cage contained a fire demon sneaker less than two feet tall. The war eagle silently placed the cage on the outer shell of the airship. The fire demon that rushed out of the cage burned through
The rubber shell got into the airbag of the airship.
An airship exploded. The airship Dettlaff was on was lucky. The fire demons who landed on the airship were blown down by the airflow. He immediately issued an order to retreat. More than thirty sentinels stepped on the propellers crazily and narrowly escaped.
The war eagle pursued.
Returning to the capital, Dettlaff immediately reported the situation to Matthias. After hearing the description of the ice bridge, Matthias remembered other things.
"Have you found any traces of the Frost Demon near the Ice Bridge?"
Dettlaff shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, sir, I have never seen the appearance of a frozen demon. I can't be sure whether there is a frozen demon."
Mathias turned his eyes and looked at Jolu next to him: "Marquis Jolu, do you think this ice bridge comes from the freezing demon or from witchcraft?"
