"Hurry! We must withdraw all the city defense troops into Kamikaze City within 6 hours, otherwise we will be attacked by those damned orcs..." An officer of the Mocast Empire was standing on the slope at the edge of the Kamikaze City gate, constantly urging his subordinates to speed up the entry into the city. Then he quickly followed the last soldier of his unit and rushed into the city, while giving his position to the commander of the next unit entering the city.
At this moment, Marshal Sterling and his group of assistants, who had already climbed onto the city wall, were listening in detail to the handover procedures between their subordinates and the officers of the Kingdom of Yan.
"My lord, we just sent people to the warehouse with the remaining personnel of the Kingdom of Yan. The amount of supplies they provided is not much different from what you said at the beginning. I am even sure that the final amount will exceed your original expectation." Kurt (commander of the Kastark Empire Army and deputy of Sterling, commander of the coalition forces of the Western Expedition) who had already strolled around ran up to the city wall with a hint of excitement.
"Lord Kurt, please take another look at this. This is a new type of magic cannon! In the past, if this type of gun barrel fired dozens of shots in a row, it would have to wait for the heat to be dissipated before it could be used again. But with this type of gun, there is no need to worry about heat dissipation at all. It can completely rely on its own heat sink to dissipate heat, and the gun barrel can continue to fire for a long time. We also went to see the magic artillery shells under the city just now. The number is absolutely eye-opening! It seems that the kingdom has high expectations for this place, otherwise they would never be willing to invest so much..." Carefully stroking the neatly arranged magic cannons on the city wall, the magician commander of the Kingdom of Yan was trembling with his outstretched hands.
"Maybe I guessed wrong..." Looking at his subordinates' excitement and then at the several officers sent by the Kingdom of Yan to conduct the handover ceremony, Sterling said to himself.
"What do you mean by guessing wrong? Do you think he can guess my identity so easily? And then he arranged everything here to deceive us? Or even use this opportunity to eliminate us in one fell swoop? I think you may think he is a god!" The black-clad woman, who had changed into a suit of armor and a fully enclosed helmet, could not help but sneer at Sterling's suspicion, and did not take these possibilities seriously at all. Perhaps deep down, the black-clad woman maintained a disgust for Marshal Sterling... Or hatred.
"I hope you're right..." Marshal Sterling didn't react to the black-clad woman's sarcasm, and he didn't show the angry expression she hoped for. But soon, the calm look on Sterling's face changed, becoming anxious and worried. At the same time, he pushed aside several logistics officials who were standing by his side and shouted orders at the gate.
"They came really fast..." While muttering to herself, the woman in black quickly rushed down the city wall and began to guard outside the city gate. Although the power of an individual on the battlefield is not enough to shake the power of the group, at a place like the city gate entrance, a sword master can completely control it in a short period of time.
At this moment, thousands of meters in the sky, at a height that magicians cannot reach, I am carefully observing the situation below that I created through a telescope. And what is carrying me is what I think is the most strategically significant weapon in the world - an airship, or a hot air balloon!
"Hehe, it seems that the troops of the Mocaster Empire are still unable to send all the troops into the city safely. I hope they can act decisively and get rid of those lagging behind, otherwise..." Shen Xiang, who was looking down through a telescope from high in the sky, was holding a cable in one hand and a telescope in the other, looking down with gloating eyes, completely unaware that after he said this, the other people on the airship raised their middle fingers to him without hesitation.
"This thing is really great. I really hope that the factories under your jurisdiction can produce the quantity you need as soon as possible. If that happens, our troops won't have to worry about any race or country. If you're happy, you can even try to unify the continent..."
At this time, Shen Qiang, who was looking around in the hot air balloon basket like a curious baby, had already been deeply fascinated by him. Since learning that this hot air balloon could carry hundreds of people or thousands of special magic bombs, Shen Xiang, who was in charge of military industry, began to have bad luck. He was urged and complained by Shen Qiang several times almost every day.
"Don't worry, everyone. The beast tribe has no chance to grow bigger now anyway. So why should we use these latest weapons on a group of defeated soldiers? We can use them when we need them in the future. I think this way we can maximize their power."
I am quite satisfied with the current situation. Although I cannot realize my dream of living a comfortable life in the strongest country on the continent, I feel a sense of accomplishment in building a strong country myself. According to what Shen Qiang said, building a unified continental country is something I have never thought of.
Although in the current situation, as long as I can firmly control the survivors and the Kingdom of Yaen, then this dam burst is not a dream. But in fact, I have never been willing to do so. The main reason is that I am a lazy person. As long as it does not harm my interests, it is fine.
In addition, if the continent is unified, then without the threat, I really don't know what Queen Yaen's mind will change in, and whether she will be abandoned after the rabbit is dead. On the other hand, if I replace Queen Yaen, then this is something I absolutely do not want to do. Just dealing with those military and political affairs alone is probably enough to drive me crazy.
Thinking of this, the situation below immediately changed. As Sterling's troops quickly entered the city, the orc army that received the news also appeared on the outskirts of Kamikaze City. Under the order of their commander, they sent out a rapid force of about 50,000 people to begin chasing the human army.
"Damn, they run really fast..." Seeing the beastmen attacking the human tribe that was left behind, Shen Qiang was surprised at the super fast speed of the lion warriors, and he was even more impressed by the Mokaster Empire Army led by Sterling. According to everyone's understanding here, the Mokaster Empire Army can only play a role in city defense battles, but it is completely useless in plains and field battles. But the current situation is beyond everyone's expectations. Those beastmen who attacked the Mokaster Empire Army under the attack of magic cannons and various powerful crossbows were almost all hit with bloody heads.
As time went by, the Mocaster Imperial Army outside the city finally withdrew into the city under the cover of various arms on the city wall and the protection of the rear guard troops, leaving only a small number of rear guard troops outside the city.
"Hey, it looks like the Marshal of the Mocast Empire has no choice but to abandon these troops. Otherwise, if the orcs follow them in, the entire Kamikaze City will be destroyed." Seeing that Sterling might be forced to abandon the rear guard troops defending outside the city, Shen Qiang clapped his hands in glee. After all, in the battle of the Western Continent, thousands of soldiers of the Sixth Division of the Flame Legion died at the hands of the troops led by Sterling. Seeing his troops suffer losses at this time, all the former soldiers of the Flame Legion would be happy.
But within a few seconds, the situation on the battlefield changed immediately. A warrior in full body armor rushed out from the city gate, and Marshal Sterling jumped directly down from the city wall. Together with the warrior in full body armor, they blocked the entrance of the city gate on the left and right. They used their golden fighting spirit to kill the entire area within dozens of meters in front of the city gate into a hell until all the remaining Mocaster Empire soldiers retreated back to the city.
"Fuck, how could this happen? Wasn't it said that Marshal Sterling was the only swordsman in the Mocaster Empire's army? Where did another one come from?"
Seeing the two sword masters retreating calmly into the city, Shen Qiang's eyes almost popped out, and his mood became extremely depressed. But as Shen Qiang said, I immediately realized where the two sword masters of the Mokaster Empire came from? In addition to Sterling, does the Mokaster Empire have any hidden strength
"The one wearing the full body armor is a woman. This is amazing! I never thought that there are female sword masters in this continent..."
"What? A woman..." Yiya's words shocked the dozen people present, and some of them immediately looked at her with uncertainty.
"Yiya, you are not kidding, are you? I have never heard of a female swordsman in this continent. Are you kidding me?" Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, I finally couldn't help but ask Yiya. After all, it was the most natural thing for me to speak up here.
"She must be a woman..." Yiya was very sure that the warrior in full body armor was a woman. There was no ambiguous answer like "maybe" or "perhaps".
"******, damn it... How can Musa be an intelligence officer? He didn't even get such important information... Damn it... Damn it..." Shen Qiang, who couldn't vent his anger, couldn't help but curse. After hearing these words, Musa, who was not even my direct line, didn't react because he didn't hear it, while Shen Xiang, who was in charge of another intelligence line, blushed.
"Damn, not from the Mocast Empire? Then the only ones who have come into contact with their army are the Senke Federation and the Kastek Empire... Kastek Empire... Kastek Empire... Fire Phoenix Legion... Paladin... Sword Master... Damn, could it be her?" Suddenly, a series of possible candidates flashed through my mind, and finally stopped at one person. (To be continued)
