The sudden air-dropped bomb stunned the Third City Guard Corps stationed on the wall of Kaoma College.
The anti-aircraft guns and artillery that defended the Flying Dragon Legion wanted to destroy some bombs in the air, but the air-dropped bombs were small and dense as rain, and it was impossible to prevent them.
Those artillery fired only one round before they were submerged in the sea of explosion and churning fire, and were completely destroyed in an instant.
Thousands of meters above the ground, even if a stone falls, its power is as powerful as a projectile fired from an artillery piece. What's more, it's a [Goblin armor-piercing bullet] with a special structure
This explosion was like a dam breaking.
... ... .
In the wars of this era, vertical attack tactics descending from the sky have never appeared. Therefore, the design of the mechanical city is all "iron barrel type". The outer city wall has extremely strong frontal resistance, and the armor is also the thickest to prevent frontal attacks from other giant artillery.
Therefore, the armor above the city wall is relatively weak.
Therefore, the air strike was extremely effective.
Armor-piercing bullets fell from the sky, some penetrated the armor and exploded on the thick walls; some got into the gaps in the city wall and exploded in the cabin. This method of internal blasting instantly caused tons of damage to the city wall...
The first round of bombs did not break through the armor of the city wall, and there were second and third rounds...
Aerial bombs have an absolute advantage in efficiency compared to artillery battles.
Each [Goblin Armor-Piercing Bomb] has an independent triggering device. It does not need to be cooled down like an artillery barrel when air-dropped. It can be loaded with different ammunition. Just take it out from the storage ring, aim and throw it down...
It is conservatively estimated that the Flying Dragon Legion of Black Dragon City dropped thousands of bombs on the east wall in just one minute.
Then, before everyone could recover, the "rain of bombs" blew up the entire city gate.
The tens of thousands of city guards who had originally stopped at the city gate had not yet reacted, and they all turned into dead souls under the cannon.
After the cannon fodder, eight hundred ground mechanical warriors led by General Baron also happened to attack from the Nineteenth City District. They were fierce and rushed into the Omar Royal Academy from the broken city wall without hesitation.
This is a classic tactic from Rennes' previous wars. The air raid troops first dropped bombs to clear local military fortresses, and then the ground troops charged.
Before the enemy could recover from being stunned by the bombing, the outcome of the battle had already been decided.
... ... .
The people who paid the most attention to this battle were the queen and the old nobles who supported her as queen.
Brendan's control of the Academy of Sciences, Omar's most important lifeline, is equivalent to mastering the "core technology" of founding a nation.
It was now clear to Tess that the situation was not favorable for her lineage. The old emperor would never pass the throne to her and let her become the queen, and the princes and the forces behind them were not economical either.
If you want to seize power, you can only use extraordinary means.
Moreover, the battle for the throne has always been bloody.
As long as the forces involved in the struggle for power have only one way to go.
That's victory.
There is only death for losers.
But now, Tess sees another path.
Now that we know that Tust in Black Dragon City has the technology to make legendary mechas, coupled with the foundation of Omar Academy of Science, even if they fail in the subsequent fight for imperial power, they still have hope of rising.
That's why today's "conflict" that seems to be an emergency happened.
Queen Tess did not go to the academy in person because she had to guard the unconscious old emperor.
The Royal Palace is the tallest building in the entire Omar Imperial City.
There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the queen's bedroom, which overlooks most of the imperial capital, and Omar College is just in the distance.
When the battle started, she was leisurely drinking coffee by the window and listening to her subordinates reporting on the battle situation.
After hearing that the "Burning Legion" was dispatched, although she felt it was a pity to expose her biggest trump card in advance, she also felt that it was worth it.
The secretly cultivated army of mechanics was her biggest trump card. It was originally used to seize power after the old emperor died.
This team has "laboratory-level" mechas, which are two or three levels higher than the mechanical armors currently in service in the Omar army.
Although there are only three thousand people, if they really want to fight in the streets of the imperial capital, even if an army of 100,000 or 80,000 troops comes, they will not be able to do anything. When the time comes to enter the palace, the initiative will be in her hands.
"Your Majesty, the Black Dragon City Guard Corps was dispatched from the 19th Street Block just now. Her Royal Highness the Princess also left after hearing the news."
"Oh, I see."
Tess stirred the coffee with a silver spoon, and then tapped it lightly on the rim of the cup, making a crisp "clang" sound.
She put down the spoon and took a leisurely sip.
Ymir left the palace, probably to save the Black Dragon City Lord.
Haha, it's a pity that it can't be saved.
Because she had already arranged everything, even if Ymir went there in person, it would be impossible to stop them from arresting people.
Her Majesty the Queen felt that everything was under her control.
But unfortunately, things backfired!
At this moment, suddenly, the glass shook violently.
Tess looked up and saw a huge flame rising into the sky in the distance, in the direction of the Royal Academy of Omar.
The next moment, a violent shock wave struck, shaking the entire palace like an earthquake. The crystal lamps kept swaying and the ornaments on the table rolled to the ground.
Tess was unsteady and the warm coffee in her hand spilled all over her body without even realizing it.
She immediately realized something, her face instantly lost all color, and she murmured: "It's over..."
... ... .
"What, Oma Academy has been breached? How is this possible!"
On the other hand, all the forces in Omar, big and small, were shocked after hearing the news.
A minute ago, they received news that Black Dragon City had begun to attack the city "overestimating its capabilities".
Everyone believed that this stupid behavior would soon be suppressed and eradicated.
But now, one minute later, you tell me that the city wall has been breached
Well, that's the Iron and Steel Machinery City, not paper.
How could eight hundred people destroy the city in one minute
Is it possible that there are 800 "Top Ten Legends"
However, although the soldiers did not understand what happened, the deafening explosion was clearly heard.
Everyone realized that something huge might have happened.
... ... .
In the Royal Academy of Oma, there were waves of explosions that could collapse the steel city walls, making the entire mechanical city sway like a cruise ship in the waves.
The shock wave caused by the explosion swept through the entire mechanical city like a tsunami. Fortunately, Grand Master Jurgen had called the students to enter the shelter before. Otherwise, this wave of impact would have been enough to cause serious damage to the weak mechanical students.
The eight hundred mechanics army of Black Dragon City led by General Baron have already rushed into the city.
They were at war with the Burning Legion.
Eight hundred versus three thousand, although there was a several times difference in numbers, the Black Dragon City side had a crushing advantage.
Whether it was firepower or mecha performance, the gap between the two sides was too big.
The "Burning Legion" artillery attack was easily blocked by the Black Dragon Legion's shield.
And a round of artillery from the Black Dragon Legion can instantly disperse the Burning Legion formation...
There was no suspense from the beginning of the battle.
The eight hundred mechanics rushed all the way into the depths of the academy.
In the square outside the academic hall, Dean Brendan sat on the ground with messy hair and disheveled clothes. The shock wave knocked him to the ground in a state of panic. His broken arm bled excessively, making his face look as pale as a death.
The whole person's momentum plummeted.
A few minutes ago, the dean of Oma College, who was still very high-spirited, was now completely despairing.
At this moment, he finally understood Tust's intention of not killing him before.
It wasn't that he didn't dare to kill, it was that he wanted to see everything he was proud of being destroyed before his eyes.
Power, wealth, secret mechanical army, lives...
All was lost.
But why did things develop like this
At the moment, Brendan couldn't figure out why he lost.
He had already guessed that Black Dragon City might already have a very powerful mechanic army. But so what
With eight hundred people, it was impossible to break through the walls of the college.
As long as this Tust is captured, there are many ways to make him reveal the mechanical skills in his mind. By that time, no matter how skilled he was, he would eventually be the one making Brendan's wedding dress. He will still be the dean of the Oma Science Academy, and he will even become the top mechanic in the world...
However, an "air raid" brought everything to naught.
Why...
Why is this happening...
After all, no one could save his life.
Dean Brendan, who stood at the top power level of the Omar Empire, slowly closed his eyes.
The great revenge was avenged, and there was a hint of relief in Mr. Tust's eyes, which was also very complicated.
My former lover is dead, my enemy is also dead...
Thoughts are clear.
In the remaining years of this life, I can devote myself to studying machinery more deeply.
... ... .
Not long after, the battle in the academy was over.
The eight hundred Black Dragon Mechanical Legion nearly annihilated the three thousand "Burning Legion" with extremely low battle losses.
The technological level of this secret army built by Brendan could have been superior to any machinist army. Its name was not even known to outsiders, and it was lost in the dust of history.
There was such a big commotion in the imperial capital. Regardless of whether it was justified or not, the Black Dragon City group mobilized troops without authorization and started a war in the city. According to law, they should be treated as "rebels" and eliminated.
However, because at this juncture of the struggle for imperial power, no one dared to come.
Most of the military power in the Imperial City is actually in the hands of the various princes and the forces behind them. Without the orders of the princes, no one dares to move.
Originally, the Queen's line had the two most important bargaining chips, the Third City Guards Corps and the Burning Legion. Now almost all of them are lost in the battle of Oma Academy. Without military power, the possibility of fighting for the throne is almost completely lost.
The princes did not have time to cause trouble to the people in Black Dragon City, but were busy beating up the drowned dogs as well. They quickly divided up the Third Army's original defense area in the imperial city and deployed their respective troops.
In this way, with the tacit approval of the game between all parties, no one came to hold Ren and his party accountable.
Of course, there is also the reason for the "Golden Griffin Order" of the old emperor brought by Ymir.
... ... .
In Omar Royal Academy, no city guards broke in.
Baron was leading his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and they happened to take the opportunity to pull out all the participating forces of Brendan's lineage in the academy.
This is an order from Ren.
Before coming to the Imperial Capital of Omar, he got a list of Brendan's loyal fans.
Since they are all offended to death, we should simply eradicate them.
Although Brendan, the culprit, is now dead, the future of the machinist profession is full of uncertainties. There's no chance of encountering some ancient technological relic, or a mechanical genius... just turn around and make an "Avengers".
Renn had no intention of leaving any hidden dangers to the future of Black Dragon City, nor did he intend to keep those mechanics.
After becoming the city lord, he no longer needs to do these things himself.
Renn went to see Grand Master Jurgen and told the origin of the grudge between Tust and Brendan, and also euphemistically explained that the targets of their "targeted trouble" were only Brendan's people.
Probably what happened today has exhausted all the shock in Jurgen's life. After listening to Ren's words, the mechanical master was very calm.
He helped calm the frightened students in the academy, summoned his disciples and the neutral mechanics in the academy, and then naturally isolated the Brendan family.
Although Oma Academy has been breached, it is a blow and even a shame to the instructors and students of the academy.
But almost all living people do not have much resentment, but deep thoughts.
After seeing Tust's legendary combat power "Eight-Armed Deer God Armor" and seeing Black Dragon City's mechanical legion, many students and instructors have undergone tremendous changes in their hearts.
In today's battle, they clearly realized that the technological level of Oma College was not only not "the best in the world", but was actually decades behind others.
This confuses those mechanics who sincerely like mechanical technology and specialize in studying technology in secret.
If you continue to work behind closed doors at Oma Academy, I'm afraid it will take decades of hard work before you can reach the current level of Black Dragon City. The gap may become wider in the future.
But obviously... there are better choices.
The young city lord of Black Dragon City has extended an olive branch of goodwill...
No matter what the rumors outside say, nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes. For the sake of governance, the upper echelons of Oma described Black Dragon City as a "barbaric land" where hair and blood were eaten. Now it seems that it is Omar who seems to be the frog in the well.
Many mechanics who pursue pure technology have actually begun to waver in their hearts.
As the "mechanical legend" Tust said, the academy should be a purely academic field, not a bargaining chip in political games.
This is what most mechanics really think.
... ... .
Renn did not help Grand Master Jurgen much in appeasing the students. After all, Oma Academy was destroyed, and he, the Lord of the Black Dragon City, was the "culprit".
The task of collecting the loot was left to General Baron and the Mechanic Corps. Renn had nothing to do, so he led a few guards to block the wall of the bombed tower to see if there were any unsightly guys like this. It's time to trouble him.
Not long after, he saw a heroic figure walking over from a distance.
From far away, Ren greeted with a smile: "Ymir, why are you here?"
Ymir looked at the collapsed city wall, then glanced at Ren, and said calmly: "I'm here to help you solve some unnecessary troubles."
Hearing this, Ren also guessed something.
Now that something as big as Oma Academy's breach has happened, there is no official force in the imperial capital to intervene, probably because Ymir played a role in it.
Ymir asked: "How is the matter?"
"It went pretty well."
Renn smiled and shrugged, and asked again: "Now that such a big thing has happened, do we need to leave the imperial capital now?"
Ymir shook his head: "Originally, I planned to leave the imperial capital today... but now there is no need to worry."
As she said that, she glanced at Ren, with a strange look in her eyes.
Now that things have fallen out, Black Dragon City's combat power is on the bright side, which makes it safer.
This also dispelled the bad intentions of those Xiaoxiao who secretly coveted Black Dragon City.
In the face of absolute strength, anyone who wants to have bad intentions must weigh his own strength.
Moreover, not only will there be no danger, but I don't dare to offend, and there is no need to offend.
After all, Ymir now poses no threat to the succession to the throne. Having left Omar's circle of power, she is the least likely member of the Spuglin royal family to inherit the throne.
No matter which prince wants to seize the throne, he will not provoke Black Dragon City now, but is eager to make friends with him. Otherwise, if they really start a fight and repeat the mistakes of the Queen's lineage, they may lose the qualification to compete for the throne at any time.
... ... .
At this time, Ymir said again: "Tomorrow my brother will announce the heir to the throne. I plan to leave after tomorrow..."
"oh."
Ren didn't want to miss this big show, and thought about it: "It just so happens that I also plan to visit the teacher's family. If they are willing to leave Oma and return to Black Dragon City this time, I will take them all back with them."
Ilubek was different from Tust, although he had killed Prince Fox and was forced to leave the imperial capital. But there are still his family and former friends in the imperial capital.
Previously, he was doing research alone in Glory City. He had no fixed place to live and had no conditions to bring his family there.
Now that Black Dragon City is here, Ilubek also plans to bring his family members there.
Upon hearing this, Ymir said: "I will go with you."
Renn nodded: "Okay."
