Volu 7 - Chapter 112 Playing with fire
Although the southwest province’s Governor Manor had reacted fast and had sent reinforcents to ro City as soon as they received the report, they were still limited by how fast the report was sent. When the reinforcents arrived at ro City, it was already four days after the Frestech Chamber of Comrce guards had captured ro City.
This reinforcent army was made of three regints that had been in the southwest province for a long ti, with a total of fifty thousand troops. It was clear that the southwest province’s Governor Manor had attached great importance to this invasion.
For this army of fifty thousand to march from the southwest province’s capital to ro City that was three hundred kiloters away, it was because of the strict orders from the Governor’s Manor. They were to recapture ro City from the enemies as soon as possible.
After all, the Candra Empire hadn’t been invaded by anyone other than the Marlow Empire for several hundred years, they had never even lost a city before. Now that such a serious matter had happened in the southwest province, the southwest province’s Governor Manor was feeling a lot of pressure.
Of course, when this fifty thousand reinforcent army arrived in ro City, they couldn’t even approach the city walls. They were forced to make cap three kiloters away from the city walls because of the heavy cannon fire and they couldn’t approach at all.
“How the f*ck are we supposed to fight this!” The reinforcent army’s commander in chief Marquis Dynatale saw the large holes in front of them and looked at the distance ro City that he could only see vaguely before angrily throwing his sword to the ground.
After bringing the reinforcent army here, he had already attacked ro City four tis.
However, whenever he made a move, he would suffer from the fierce Magic Cannon fire that ca from ro City that blotted out the sky. After suffering heavy casualties, he still wasn’t able to break the strict lines and enter ro City.
During this entire fight, not to ntion engaging the enemy, they hadn’t even seen a trace of the enemy!
As for achieving the goal of capturing ro City as soon as possible, that was a fantasy.
“Sir, it seems like we can’t attack from this direction. Based on the reports, the Frestech Chamber of Comrce only sent five thousand troops this ti. We should use our superior numbers to attack ro City from different directions. As long as we can enter ro City, the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s powerful military magic machines won’t be able to demonstrate their power.” The accompanying staff officer suggested to Marquis Dynatale.
Marquis Dynatale thought about this for a bit before nodding in agreent to this suggestion.
Then he called the other commanders of the reinforcent army over to hold a eting to discuss their battle plan. He split the fifty thousand army into four groups, with one group having twenty thousand people that would be led by Marquis Dynatale to lay pressure on ro City’s northern walls.
The other three groups would be split into three different directions to attack ro City from those directions at the sa ti.
With the number of troops the Frestech Chamber of Comrce guards had, it would be very hard for them to defend against simultaneous attacks from four different directions.
As long as the reinforcent army could enter ro City and fight in the streets, the Frestech Chamber of Comrce guards would find it hard to display the might of their military magic machines. It would allow the numbers advantage that the reinforcent army had to fully demonstrate itself.
However……while the plan was good, reality was cruel.
Marquis Dynatale led the twenty thousand troops to attack in the sa manner, waiting for the signal from the other three armies. However, there was a large cloud that ca from the southwest that suddenly blocked out the sky.
Marquis Dynatale and the other leaders all looked up as their expressions changed at the sa ti.
The cloud in the sky was another Magic Airship unit!
To create such a large shadow in the sky, it would be at least fifty airships with a rough estimate!
Marquis Dynatale didn’t have ti to think about where those Magic Airships ca from at all, he imdiately ordered the magicians that ca with the army to et them.
Everyone knew that the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s Magic Airships could remain in the air and occupy the high ground, so they could attack them however they wanted.
The only thing that could threaten the Magic Airships were magicians who could fly in the sky.
But the magicians that ca with this army had only flown halfway when they saw the dazzling beams of light that were shot from those Magic Airships.
Those beams of light were very thick and strangely fast. The magicians that were flying up didn’t have ti to dodge, so they could only block them.
However, in front of everyone’s eyes, those High Grade Magicians that ca with the army released their magic barriers, but they popped like bubbles.
Seeing the magicians falling out of the sky like kites with their strings cut, Marquis Dynatale’s heart sank.
Even magicians couldn’t deal with those Magic Airships, could they only let them fire at them?
However, what Marquis Dynatale didn’t expect was that after those Magic Airships shot down the magicians, they flew over the reinforcent army, but they didn’t do anything. They just silently floated there in the air, like they were watching a play.
Marquis Dynatale and the other commanders were confused by this.
With the absolute air superiority the Magic Airships had, if they wanted to take care of them, it wouldn’t take any effort at all. However, those Magic Airships acted like this after showing up, what did they want to do?
Marquis Dynatale took a telescope and looked up to observe them. After confirming that the Magic Airships above them were from the Frestech Chamber of Comrce, he was even more confused.
Thinking about it, he turned to look at ro City in the distance and suddenly beca aware of sothing.
After throwing the telescope to his adjutant, Marquis Dynatale turned around his beloved warhorse and then waved at his subordinates to tell them not to follow him before slowly heading towards ro City.
As expected, seeing that he was coming alone, the Magic Cannons on ro City didn’t fire and allowed him to co under the ro City city walls.
“Is the Frestech Chamber of Comrce guards’ leader above? Can you co down for a talk?” Marquis Dynatale raised his head to shout at the high ro City city walls.
After a while, three figures jumped off the city walls and landed right in front of Marquis Dynatale.
Two of the figures fell slowly, falling down without a sound like a leaf.
The other figure dropped like a rock, slamming down with a large sound which was very shocking.
Marquis Dynatale cald himself and dismounted as he looked over the three of them. He found that the two slender figures were two elven males and the shocking person was a human male.
“Let introduce myself, I am Marquis Dwayne Dynatale, the commander of this reinforcent army. May I ask which commander from the Frestech Chamber of Comrce this is?” Marquis Dynatale asked.
“Oh? I never thought a Lord Marquis would co personally, this really has surprised .” The human male laughed before pointing at himself, “I am the commander here and also the leader of the Freestech Chamber of Comrce guards, Hart.”
“Chief Hart?” Marquis Dynatale looked at the two elven males wearing the Frestech Chamber of Comrce guards’ uniform and tactfully knew not to ask anything. After a pause, he said, “I want to ask, what is your goal this ti?”
“Lord Marquis, your question is a bit strange. Isn’t it obvious what we want to do? We are invading your Candra Empire. Look, ro City is the first city that we’ve captured, next we’ll capture more cities before finally capturing your capital, Wimbledon City.”
“Lies!” Marquis Dynatale looked at chief Hart with a calm look before pointing at the Magic Airships in the sky, “If that was your goal, why are those fellows not moving at all? You don’t have any intention of destroying us at all.”
Chief Hart gave a shrug, “No, you’re mistaken. Lord Marquis, we just don’t want to waste our precious ammunition, you aren’t worthy of being our opponent at all. Of course, if the Lord Marquis is dumb enough, we wouldn’t mind teaching you and your subordinates a deep lesson.”
Marquis Dynatale took a deep breath before he was able to force down the anger in his heart.
He led an army of fifty thousand elites and they weren’t worth being an enemy in the eyes of this fellow?
This was simply the greatest insult to him!
But he had to admit that this was a fact.
Whether it was the setbacks he suffered when he first attacked ro City or the loss he suffered after the Magic Airships appeared, they all showed that even if the army he led had an advantage in numbers, they wouldn’t be able to resist in a real fight at all.
It was as chief Hart had said, if he really was willing, just with the fifty Magic Airships in the air, it was enough to make him unable to resist and he might not even be able to escape.
But the other side clearly had a goal if they didn’t do this.
As chief Hart had vaguely hinted at with his words, if their reinforcent army wasn’t worthy of being their opponent, who was worthy of being called their true opponent?
“Lord Marquis, you can go, we aren’t interested in annihilating you. You can either retreat or stay outside ro City to watch the play, you can do what you want. But I must warn you that you shouldn’t attempt to approach ro City, otherwise I wouldn’t mind teaching you a lesson.” Chief Hart suddenly said with a cold look.
Marquis Dynatale was surprised before taking a deep breath and looking at chief Hart with a dark look.
“I don’t know what you want to do, but I’m warning you, you’re playing with fire!”
“Playing with fire?” Chief Hart gave a laugh, “Perhaps you’re right, but playing with fire doesn’t always an you get burned, right?”
After saying this, chief Hart gave a gesture to send him off.
Marquis Dynatale took a deep look at him before giving a snort. He got back on his horse and quickly rode off.
