Chapter 112 Playing with Fire

Although the reaction of the Governor's Mansion of the Southwest Province was fast enough to organize reinforcements to rescue Metro City as soon as it received the enemy's situation, but limited by the speed of message transmission and the limitation of transportation methods, when the reinforcements arrived outside Metro City At that time, it was already four days after the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce captured Metro City.

This batch of reinforcements was a mix of three imperial legions stationed in the Southwest Province for a long time, with a total strength of more than 50,000. It can be seen that the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province attached great importance to this invasion.

Being able to bring 50,000 troops here from the provincial capital of the southwest province, which is more than 300 kilometers away from Metro City, was also given a strict order from the Governor's Office, telling them to take back the United States from the enemy as soon as possible. Luocheng.

After all, the entire Candela Empire has not been invaded by foreign enemies other than the Maro Empire for hundreds of years, and even a city has been breached. Now such a serious case has occurred in the Southwest Province. very heavy pressure.

However, when the more than 50,000 reinforcements arrived outside Metro City, they couldn't even get close to the city walls of Metro City, and were forcefully forced by the extremely dense artillery fire to a place three kilometers away from the city walls, unable to advance an inch.

"What the hell kind of battle is this fighting!" Marquis Di Natale, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, looked at the huge deep pits all over the land in front of him, then at the city of Metro that could only be seen in the distance, and angrily threw His saber was thrown directly to the ground.

After leading the reinforcements here, he has organized and launched four attacks against Metro City.

However, every time they are dispatched, they will be attacked by overwhelming and extremely violent magic artillery from the direction of Metro City. After paying a large number of casualties, they still cannot break through this tight blockade and rush to Metro City. under the city.

During the entire war, not to mention fighting the enemy head-on, they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy!

As for achieving the goal of recapturing Metro City as soon as the Governor-General explained before departure, that is simply a fantasy.

"My lord, it seems that it is not advisable to attack from this direction. According to the intelligence, the escort sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time is only 5,000 people. We should use the superior force to attack Metro City in several ways. As long as it rushes into Metro City, the powerful military magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards will be useless." The army staff officer suggested to Marquis Di Natale.

Marquis Di Natale pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

Then he recruited the heads of several other legions in the reinforcements. After discussing the battle plan, the 50,000 reinforcements were divided into four groups, of which 20,000 people stayed behind and continued to be led by Marquis Di Natale to exert pressure on Metro City in the north of the city.

The remaining three batches are divided into three groups. Detour to the other three directions of Metro City to attack at the same time.

With the strength of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will be difficult to deal with attacks from four directions at the same time.

As long as the reinforcements can enter Metro City, it will be difficult for the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to give full play to their advantages in military magic machinery in the street battles, so that the strength of the reinforcements can be fully utilized.

However... the plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

While Marquis Di Natale was still leading the remaining 20,000 reinforcements to stay in place, waiting for the other three reinforcements to send a signal to attack at the same time, a dark cloud suddenly flew in the southwest sky, almost covering the entire sky.

Marquis Di Natale and the other leaders of the reinforcements looked up, and Qi Qi's face changed drastically.

That cloud in the sky. It is clearly composed of another magical airship!

To be able to form such a large shadow in the sky, at a glance, there are at least more than fifty ships!

The Marquis of Di Natale had no time to think about where these magic airships came from, and immediately ordered the magicians accompanying the army to come forward to meet them.

Everyone knows that the magical airships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can keep flying at high altitudes, and they can be condescending and attack them as they want.

And the only ones who can threaten the magic airship are the magicians who can also fly into the sky.

However, the magicians who accompanied the army were just halfway through the flight when they saw several dazzling beams of light shooting out from several magic airships.

These light beams are extremely thick, and the speed is extremely fast. The magicians who were still struggling to fly upwards had no time to dodge, so they could only resist.

However, under everyone's attention, the magic shields stretched out by the senior magicians who accompanied the army disappeared one by one like bubbles under the shroud of light beams.

Seeing the magicians who flew up in the sky fall down one by one like kites with broken strings, Marquis Di Natale's heart sank a little bit.

Even magicians can't do anything with those magic airships. Don't they have to be beaten passively?

However, to the surprise of Marquis Di Natale, when these dozens of magic airships shot down those magicians and flew over the heads of the reinforcements, they did not make any movement, just floating in mid-air so quietly, as if watching The play usually stops there.

The Marquis of Di Natale and the other generals of the reinforcements were a little baffled.

With the absolute air superiority of these magic airships. If you want to get rid of them, it will be effortless at all, but now these magic airships are putting on such a posture, what do they want to do?

Marquis Di Natale took a pair of binoculars, looked up and observed carefully, and confirmed that the magical airships above his head were indeed from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and felt even more strange.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Metro City in the distance, and suddenly a sliver of understanding arose in his heart.

After stuffing the binoculars in his hands into the adjutant's arms, Marquis Di Natale turned over and rode on his beloved horse, signaling to all his men not to follow, and then he rode his horse slowly towards Metro City in the distance.

Sure enough, seeing that he was riding alone, there was no magic cannon fired from Metro City, so he galloped quickly to the foot of Metro City.

"Is there the leader of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce up there? Can you come down and talk?" Marquis Di Natale raised his head and yelled above the tall city wall of Metro City.

After a while, three figures jumped off the city wall and landed directly in front of Marquis Di Natale.

The posture of the two figures falling was extremely light, as silent as leaves falling.

The other figure fell like a boulder, causing a loud "bang", the momentum was astonishing.

The Marquis of Di Natale gathered himself together, got off his horse, glanced across the faces of the three figures, and found that the two figures with light postures were two elf men, but the one with astonishing momentum was a strong human man.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Duwein? Marquis Di Natale. I am the commander of this reinforcement. Which one of you is the person in charge of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce here?" Marquis Di Natale asked.

"Oh? Unexpectedly, a Marquis came here in person. It really surprised me." The strong human man laughed and pointed at himself. "I am the person in charge here, and I am also Hart, the captain of the escort team of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"Captain Hart?" Marquis Di Natale glanced at the two elf men who were also wearing the guard uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He didn't ask, but paused, and continued: "I think May I ask, what is the purpose of your operation?"

"Master Marquis, your question is a bit strange. Isn't it obvious what we are doing now? We are invading your Kandela Empire. You see, Metro City behind us is the first city we conquered. City after city will be conquered, and finally your imperial capital, Wimbledon, will be conquered."

"You're lying!" Marquis Di Natale glanced at Captain Hart sullenly, then turned his head and pointed at the dozens of magical airships in the distant sky. "If this is your purpose, why are those guys standing still? You obviously don't mean to annihilate us."

Captain Hart shrugged: "No, you misunderstood. Lord Marquis, we just don't want to waste precious ammunition on you worthless opponents. Of course, if you are stupid enough, Lord Marquis, we will I don't mind teaching you and your men a profound lesson."

Marquis Di Natale took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the raging anger in his heart.

In the eyes of these guys, the 50,000 elite army led by him is actually an insignificant opponent?

This is simply the greatest insult to him!

However, he had to admit this fact.

Whether it was the successive setbacks in their attack on Metro City just now, or the appearance of the magic airship that made him helpless, it fully showed that the army he led, even though it had a huge advantage in terms of strength, was ineffective in actual battles. But Zhong didn't even have the power to parry.

As Captain Hart said, if they really wanted to, just relying on the fifty magical airships floating in the sky would be enough to make them powerless to resist, and they might not even be able to escape in the end.

The reason why the other party didn't do this obviously had another purpose.

Or, as Captain Hart vaguely revealed, these reinforcements are just insignificant opponents, so who is the real opponent they are looking forward to?

"Master Marquis, you can go back. We are not interested in annihilating you. You can retreat now, or stay outside Metro City to watch the show, as you like. But I must warn you, don't try to get close to Mei Luo. Luo Cheng, otherwise, I wouldn't mind teaching you a few more lessons." Captain Hart suddenly said with a cold face.

Marquis Di Natale was startled, then took a deep breath again, and looked at Captain Hart with a gloomy face.

"I don't know what you're up to, but I warn you, you're playing with fire!"

"Playing with fire?" Captain Hart laughed, "Maybe you're right. But playing with fire doesn't always result in self-immolation, does it?"

After saying this, Captain Hart made a gesture of invitation.

Marquis Di Natale took a deep look at him, snorted, turned around and mounted his horse, and quickly drove away. (~^~)
