What surprised Fokker was that these strange "birds" swooping down did not target him.
On the contrary, these swooping and terrifying buzzing weapons exploded into a regular circle around the place where he stood!
All the surrounding guards have been annihilated, and the generals who were near the headquarters have also been completely outcast.
Fokker finally struggled out of the smoke caused by the explosion, and then realized that he seemed to have lost everyone in the entire headquarters.
His ears could no longer hear, and only the sharp ringing kept echoing. He staggered to a soldier who had just gotten up, grabbed the other's collar, and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat!"
In fact, there was no need for him to shout. The moment they saw the handsome flag being blown down, many commanders of the Rock Empire issued orders to retreat.
Falk stood dizzy at a high place. He could feel that his hearing was gradually recovering, and he could also feel that the blood on his body was not his own.
The fact that he was not injured was good news for Fokker. His sword had been thrown somewhere, and in fact, the armor on his body had long lost its luster.
"General! General! News came from the cavalry troops. Your adjutant Sterman was killed in battle. 2,000 cavalry were defeated on the way to charge. The remaining cavalry are continuing to retreat under the command of the eldest prince!"
"What did you say……"
"..." The messenger seemed to have realized that his general was deaf, so he had to raise his voice and shouted the news just now.
This time Fokker heard some key words, so he nodded and loudly ordered: "Order all soldiers to retreat immediately! The entire army retreats!"
He yelled at the top of his lungs, and the officer who delivered the order frowned and listened. After listening, he nodded and responded with body movements instead of words. Then he turned around, climbed on the back of his horse, and ran away into the distance.
The soldier who had been standing next to Fokker finally plucked up the courage at this time and asked loudly: "General! Do you want my help to call the nearby officers over...?"
Fokker, who was startled by the sudden loud voice, rubbed his ears and scolded: "Why are you shouting...I'm not deaf!"
"..." The soldier noticed that Fokker's hearing seemed to have recovered a lot, so he asked in a more normal voice: "General, do you want..."
"Go! Call your commander over! Also, ask all nearby officers to report to me!" Fokker shook his head, walked to another soldier, and ordered loudly: "
Hurry! Send the news of the defeat back to the imperial capital! Hurry!"
…
Ten days later, in the Flame City, the imperial capital of the Flame Empire, a minister hurriedly walked into the main hall, walked up to the Emperor of the Flame Empire who was holding a meeting, lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The envoy sent by the Rock Empire has brought...
Very bad news."
The emperor of the Flame Empire waived the other party's courtesy and asked: "So, those rumors are all true?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, it's almost certain that these gods from the sky have no intention of leaving!" The minister continued: "And? They seem to have annexed the Gale Empire..."
"We all know this already! The abdication edict of Noxhaer Guangfeng from the Storm Empire? It has been transmitted to the world for almost half a month." The Emperor of the Flame Empire waved his hand: "Let's pick up the important ones...the other party's force...
Isn’t it something we can contend with?”
"Yes! What is the message sent by the envoy of the Rock Empire? The other party has monsters that can breathe fire in the sky!" The minister continued: "Also, the other party has weapons that can knock down our soldiers from a long distance? Also?
Is there an invulnerable chariot? A terrifying iron golem..."
"Wow..." The ministers who were meeting about this all began to whisper among themselves. Such shocking news? Such a powerful enemy made them forget the etiquette issues before the king in an instant.
"These enemies falling from the sky? Some of them are wearing heavy armor. Are they invulnerable? Our soldiers have no way to hurt them at all." The minister continued: "And...the Rock Empire sent news that? The other party
Are they just ordinary infantrymen who wear armor and fight with spears? Each one is two meters tall, with a green face and fangs, like a devil! These soldiers are simply invincible. They can easily defeat five or ten times the number of Rock Empire soldiers..."
"The soldiers of the Rock Empire are not given for free, and we know their combat effectiveness very well. Therefore, these enemies that the Rock Empire considers invincible must have very strong combat capabilities." A general said in shock after hearing the news.
.
The empire's general reported to his emperor: "Your Majesty! I have ordered to strengthen the defense near the border, and the subsequent armed troops have begun to reinforce the border area."
"Now, we have deployed 100,000 people in the border areas, and if necessary, we can add another 100,000 people!" He gave a very accurate number.
However, this was obviously not enough, because the Rock Empire assembled 100,000 troops in the border area, but it only took the other side a few days to defeat this army.
If you want to be absolutely sure, you should increase your military strength to 500,000 or even more.
But obviously, such a number is not the number of troops that an empire can maintain for a long time.
As expected, the general of the Flame Empire continued: "Any more will be too much, because after all, we are in a defensive state, all military rations need to be transferred, and materials need to be slowly hoarded, so we need more
Lots of time.”
The Grand Knight Commander followed up and added: "The cavalry troops are also ready to dispatch. 30,000 cavalry can be dispatched at any time. If your Majesty's army of royal knights is included, we can directly dispatch 50,000 cavalry to reinforce the enemy's attacks.
area."
"When the opponent came, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the sky shook with loud noises... So, we have no choice but to surrender honestly?" Ignoring his own Grand Knight Commander, the Emperor of the Flame Empire looked at him.
The minister who delivered the letter asked.
At this time, the prime minister of the empire, the old chief minister, stepped forward and asked in an old voice: "Your Majesty! Shouldn't the Holy See take care of this kind of thing?"
