Although the response of the Southwest Provincial Governor's Office was fast enough, reinforcements were organized to rescue Mero City as soon as the enemy situation was received. However, due to the limitations of the message transmission speed and transportation methods, when the reinforcements arrived outside Mero City At that time, it was already four days after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team captured Mero City.
This batch of reinforcements is a mixture of three imperial legions stationed in the Southwest Province for a long time. The total number of troops exceeds 50,000, which shows that the Governor-General of the Southwest Province attaches great importance to this invasion.
Being able to bring 50,000 troops here from the provincial capital of Southwest Province, which is more than 300 kilometers away from Mero City, was strictly ordered by the Governor-General to recapture 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 Malo Empire for hundreds of years, and even a city has been invaded. Now such a serious incident has occurred in the Southwest Province. The Governor's Office of the Southwest Province is burdened with Very heavy pressure.
However, when more than 50,000 reinforcements arrived outside Mero City, they could not even get close to the city wall of Mero City. They were forced to stay three kilometers away from the city wall by extremely dense artillery fire, and could not advance even an inch.
"What the hell kind of battle are we fighting!" The reinforcements commander, Marquis Di Natale, looked at the huge pits on the land in front of him, then glanced at the city of Metro, which could only be vaguely visible in the distance, and angrily put the hand in his hand. The sword was thrown directly to the ground.
After leading the reinforcements here, he has organized and launched four attacks on Metro City.
However, every time they were dispatched, they would be attacked by overwhelming and extremely violent magic artillery from the direction of Metro City. After paying a lot of casualties, they still could not break through this tight blockade and break into Metro City. Under the city.
During the entire war, let alone fighting the enemy head-on, they never even saw the shadow of the enemy!
As for achieving the goal of recapturing Metro City as soon as possible, which was stated by the Governor before departure, that is simply a fantasy.
"Sir, it seems that it is not advisable to attack from this direction. According to intelligence, the escort sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time is only 5,000 people. We should take advantage of our superior strength and divide our troops into several groups to attack Mero City. "As long as we rush into the city of Mero, the powerful military magic machines of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards will be useless," the army staff suggested to Marquis Di Natale.
Marquis Di Natale thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Then he called in several other legion leaders from the reinforcements. There was a meeting to discuss the battle plan, and then the 50,000 reinforcements were divided into four groups. One group of 20,000 people stayed and continued to be led by the Marquis of Di Natale to exert pressure on Metro City in the north of the city.
The remaining three batches were divided into three routes. Detour around Metro City and launch attacks from three other directions at the same time.
With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, 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 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards to take advantage of their military magic machinery in street fighting, allowing the reinforcements to fully utilize their strength advantage.
However... the plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Marquis de Natale was still leading the remaining 20,000 reinforcements to stay in place, waiting for signals from the other three reinforcements to attack simultaneously, when a dark cloud suddenly flew quickly in the southwest sky, almost covering the entire sky.
Marquis Di Natale and other reinforcement leaders looked up, and their expressions changed drastically.
That dark cloud in the sky. It is clearly composed of one magic airship after another!
It can form such a large shadow in the sky. At a glance, it is at least more than fifty ships!
Marquis Di Natale had no time to think about where these magic airships came from, and immediately ordered the magicians accompanying the army to attack them.
Everyone knows that these magic airships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can keep flying in the high altitude, and they can attack them as they want from a superior position.
The only ones who can threaten the magic airship are the magicians who can also fly into the sky.
But the magicians accompanying the army had just flown halfway when they saw several dazzling beams of light shooting out from several magic airships.
These beams are extremely thick and extremely fast. The magicians who were still struggling to fly upwards had no time to dodge and could only resist.
However, under everyone's attention, the magic shields opened by these high-level magicians who accompanied the army disappeared one by one like bubbles under the beam of light.
Seeing the magicians flying up in the sky falling one by one like kites with broken strings, Marquis Di Natale's heart sank little by little.
Even magicians can't do anything with those magic airships. Don’t they just have to be beaten passively
However, to Marquis Di Natale's expectation, after these dozens of magic airships shot down those magicians and flew over the heads of the reinforcements, they did not make any movement and just floated in the mid-air quietly, as if they were watching. The play usually stops there.
Marquis Di Natale and other reinforcement generals were a little confused.
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 in such a posture, what do they want to do
Marquis Di Natale took a pair of binoculars, raised his head and observed carefully, confirming that the magic airships above his head were indeed from the 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 hint of enlightenment came to his heart.
After stuffing the telescope in his adjutant's arms, Marquis Di Natale turned over and mounted his beloved war horse, signaling all his men not to follow him, and then he rode slowly towards the distant city of Mero.
Sure enough, seeing that he was just riding over alone, there was no magic artillery fire from the Metro City, so he galloped quickly to the gate of Metro City.
"Is there the leader of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team above? Can we come down and talk?" Marquis Di Natale raised his head and shouted to the top of the tall Metro City wall.
After a moment, three figures jumped down from the city wall and landed directly in front of Marquis Di Natale.
The falling posture of the two figures was extremely light, as silent as leaves falling.
Another figure fell like a boulder, causing a loud "bang" sound with astonishing force.
Marquis Di Natale calmed down, turned over and dismounted, his eyes swept over the faces of the three figures, and found that the two light figures were two elven men, and the one with astonishing power was a strong human man.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Marquis Duwein Di Natale. I serve as the commander of this reinforcement. Which of you is the person in charge of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce here?" Marquis Di Natale asked.
"Oh? I didn't expect that a Marquis came 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 the captain of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team, Hart."
"Captain Hart, right?" Marquis Di Natale glanced at the two elven men who were also wearing the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's guard uniforms. He was interested and did not ask, but paused and continued: "I think May I ask, what is the purpose of your operation?”
"Lord Marquis, your question is a bit strange. Isn't it obvious what we are doing now? We are invading your Candela Empire. You see, the Metro City behind us is the first city we conquered. Next, we will continue We will conquer one city after another, and finally conquer your imperial capital, Wimbledon.”
"You're lying!" Marquis Di Natale glanced at Captain Hart with a sullen face, then turned to point at the dozens of magic airships in the distant sky. "If this is your purpose, why are those guys standing still? You clearly have no intention of annihilating us."
Captain Hart shrugged: "No, you misunderstood. Mr. Marquis, we just don't want to waste precious ammunition on insignificant opponents like you. Of course, if you are stupid enough, Mr. Marquis, we will also 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 rising in his heart.
The 50,000 elite troops he personally led were actually insignificant opponents in the eyes of these guys
This is simply the greatest insult to him!
However, he had to admit this fact.
Whether it was the repeated setbacks in their attack on Metro City just now, or the subsequent appearance of the magic airship that left him helpless, it fully demonstrated that the army he led, even though it had a huge advantage in terms of strength, was in actual combat. However, he didn't even have the strength to parry.
As Captain Hart said, if they really wanted to, the fifty magic airships floating in the sky alone would be enough to make them unable to resist at all, and in the end they might even be unable to escape.
The reason why the other party didn't do this was obviously for another purpose.
Or, as Captain Hart's words vaguely revealed, these reinforcements are just insignificant opponents, so who is the real opponent they are looking forward to
"Lord Marquis, you can go back. We are not interested in annihilating you. You may wish to retreat now or stay outside Metro City to watch the show. It's up to you. But I must warn you, don't try to get close to Metro City. Luo Cheng, otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you some 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 want to do, but I warn you, you are playing with fire!"
"Playing with fire?" Captain Hart laughed: "Maybe you are right. But playing with fire doesn't always lead to self-immolation, right?"
After saying this, Captain Hart made a gesture of invitation.
Marquis Di Natale looked at him deeply, grunted, turned around, mounted his horse, and drove away quickly. (~^~)
