Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 429 War is coming? !

The scale of this beast wave is indeed very large, but... this does not mean that the well-trained Idar army will be as helpless as the residents of the local city-state.

At least in the eyes of Captain Hausen...

The scale of this beast tide is still within the range that he can solve and control.

The Idar soldiers manipulating the magic cannon were busy and not panicked.

In fact, they have already conducted countless trainings and exercises, and they can systematically calibrate the magic guided gun at any time and any place, and carry out purposeful artillery bombardment according to the coordinates given by the scouts.

so……

With the first sound of the magic cannon, a group of scorching flames suddenly exploded on the plain outside Padilla city-state.

The flames produced by the explosion spread among the beast tide in an instant, and the chaotic and pungent smoke rose into the air at that instant.

This is the latest incendiary bomb developed by the Idar Institute of Magical Weapons.

This kind of shell reduces the impact that can be caused by the explosion, but it adds a large amount of compression magic array of fire attribute to the shell, so that it can deflagrate at the moment of the explosion!

As long as there is fodder that can support combustion around the explosion point, the fierce burning flame will continue to spread everywhere.

And now this time...

The cold winter has just faded away, and there are some withered weeds and dry branches outside the Padilla city-state, so...almost as soon as the cannonball hits the ground, the mutant species around the explosion point fell into chaos.

The violent explosion naturally attracted the attention of the city-state residents on the city wall. Almost everyone heard the roar of cannonballs across the sky and saw the sudden rise of smoke and dust.

Nick Allison squeezed hard, took the weapon in his hand from the already **** face of the mutant, and took advantage of the time of the fierce battle to cast his eyes on the plain not far away...

"That's...Magic Cannon?"

Yes,

He had long heard descriptions of the Idar army among the Idar soldiers who were staying in the Padilla city state.

And such a powerful weapon that destroys the heavens and the earth is obviously not something that any other force in the Forsaken Land can possess.

"This is the Magic Cannon! Our reinforcements are here!"

When I heard the roar of the magic cannon again, the Idar soldiers present were all overjoyed.

Although the natives who defended the city have not seen the reinforcements with their own eyes,... the artillery fire from Idar's army has already begun to wreak havoc among the beasts.

The first sound of the cannon seemed to be just to determine the location, just to announce the intervention of Idar's army.

Immediately after...

The rumble of cannons continued to blast, and the violent explosions one after another caused the mutant species that was originally dedicated to siege the city into chaos.

at this moment,

Even Nick Allison, who was on the city wall, could clearly feel the heat and shock coming from his face.

"Go hard! Be sure to hold on!" he screamed desperately.

Even without him reminding, when the Idar’s artillery fire began to explode on the side of the mutant, the Padilla warriors of the city wall had already been twelve minutes away, and the confidence to live was rekindled in their hearts. , Tried his best to fight the mutants that surged up the city.

They finally survived the most difficult time when they saw the light rays penetrating through the clouds!

indeed,

The reinforcements of the Principality of Idar have not arrived yet.

However, with the continuous bombardment of the Magic Cannon, Idar's army has built a fiery wall of fire, making it difficult for the mutant species that have just spewed out of the dense forest to rush to the wall!

The morale, which had been gradually lowering, rose again amidst the roar. Whenever a Padilla warrior dies under the claws of the mutant, there will be warriors rushing forward to fight the mutant. .

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill!"

...

And on the other side,

As the artillery washing began, Idar soldiers armed with magic rifles were also ordered to move forward.

They are neatly dressed and fully armed.

Even though for many Idar soldiers, those odious and extremely ugly mutants make people feel quite disgusting, but the dense magical rays have caused the mutants that attempted to attack again and again to fall to the ground. Corpse.

finally……

Under the continuous killing of Idar's army, the mutant species retreated.

They are indeed bloodthirsty and brutal, but at least they still have a little wisdom left, so... when they watched the reinforcements of the Duchy of Idar approaching the city, their companions turned into corpses...

The tide of beasts that might have turned the city-state of Padilla into ruins ended in a hasty way.

...

The tide of beasts has receded.

However, the city walls of Padilla city-state have also become dilapidated during the war. After all... the mutant species is relying on their claws to climb up along the cracks in the city wall.

In the process of climbing, it will inevitably cause damage to the city wall.

In addition, the casualties of personnel are even harder to count.

There were already less than 10,000 residents in the city-state of Padilla. Even though the Idar army intervened in the war in the "second half", the local people suffered heavy losses.

Nearly a thousand young men were lost!

After this battle, the number of surviving adult men is already less than two thousand! ! !

Looking at the devastated Padilla city-state, the corner of the eyes of Grand Elder Sheman Goldberg couldn't help being wet with tears.

"Elder, you don't need to blame yourself. If you hadn't brought the reinforcements from the Principality of Idar, let alone these nearly a thousand young men, the Padilla city-state would not be able to escape the destiny of fall." Nick Allison walked away. When he reached the side of the great elder, he said in a deep voice.

Heard that,

The Great Elder sighed long, as if finally made up his mind:

"You said...Should we join the Principality of Idar and become a part of the Principality of Idar?"

"Principality of Idar?!"

Hearing this, Nick Ellison couldn't help being a little startled.

"Yes, Idar Principality!" The Grand Elder nodded vigorously.

This time the tide of beasts greatly stimulated the heart of the great elder Sheman Goldberg.

If it were not for the timely action of the Idar army, then the entire Padilla city-state would cease to exist!

And the great elder also knew very well that the Idar army could not help Padilla city-state again and again, regardless of remuneration and cost.

If you want the residents of the city-states to have a better life and no longer have to worry about the existence of mutants, then... Actively joining the Duchy of Idar and becoming a citizen of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, is undoubtedly the most current one. Good choice!

Although this sounds a little helpless, but... Compared to the neighboring cities that can only rely on desperate fights to get a glimmer of life in the face of the animal tide, the Padilla city-state is already extremely fortunate.

After a long silence, Nick Allison finally replied: "If the elder thinks it is feasible... I believe everyone will not have other opinions..."

Nick Ellison did not know what the Grand Elder saw on the other side of the ocean, nor did he know what the overall national strength of the Principality of Idar was, but...

Just today, together with all the residents of Padilla city-state, he witnessed the strong side of Idar's army with his own eyes!

Whether it’s the long-range bombardment initiated by the Magic Cannon or the frontal confrontation between the Idar Army and the mutant species, the Idar army has demonstrated superb combat literacy, and... the weapons and equipment used by the Idar soldiers are even more impressive. Eye-opener!

He never expected that the war could be fought like this!

and,

After this battle, the Padilla city-state has lost too many manpower. If the next time the beast wave comes, the Padilla city-state loses the asylum of the Principality of Idar, then it will inevitably go to ruin!

It is true that it is difficult to admit that you are not as good as others.

But... when the gap between the two is so exaggerated that it cannot be described in words, there is no psychological burden.

Today's Grand Elder Sheman Goldberg and Nick Ellison have this mentality.

"Rest assured, you will never regret the decision you made today, and the residents of Padilla City-state will definitely benefit from this for the rest of your life!"

Captain Howson walked beside the two at some unknown time and said in a deep voice.

He originally wanted to talk to the Grand Elder about hiring the residents of Padilla to build a port, but what he didn't expect was... he heard a bigger surprise!

If the residents of Padilla are really determined to merge into the Principality of Idar, then they do not need to recruit manpower to build a fortress, and can directly expand and repair the city in front of them!

This will undoubtedly save a lot of financial and material resources for the Principality of Idar!

"It's just... we need to consider the opinions of the people after all, so this matter..." the elder hesitated.

Yes,

The Grand Elder has indeed figured it out, rather than single-handedly, it is better to integrate with the Principality of Idar.

But... After all, Padilla City-state is not alone in the final say, he also has to consider other people's views and take care of other people's feelings.

"Don't worry, but as soon as possible."

In this regard, Captain Hausen was uncomfortable.

...

Compared with the many city states in the Lost Lands, the Principality of Idar naturally does not need to worry about the invasion of mutants.

therefore……

With the arrival of spring, the annual spring plowing begins again.

Since the senior officials of the Principality of Idar, including Bruno, have combined information from all parties and made sufficient research and judgments,...the number of newly reclaimed fields in the Principality of Idar this year has more than doubled.

Most of the land is used to grow staple foods and high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn.

On the one hand, due to the large number of refugees who poured into the Principality of Idar, which provided a large amount of labor resources for this land, the amount of food needed by the Principality of Idar soared.

On the other hand, because...

The 539 year of the new calendar that has arrived is destined to not be a peaceful year!

Idar city.

When Bruno personally waved his **** in front of the people, he returned non-stop to the hanging garden in the foothills of Armis.

There, many senior executives from the Principality of Idar have already gathered together.

Idar's CIA Director Krell, Idar Chamber of Commerce new president Julian Heaton, Idar Councillor Ford, Idar Minister of Defense Sarah Coron...

Everyone present was unsmiling and solemn.

Bruno, who had just walked into the conference room, looked around, took a sip of coffee at the table, and then nodded at Krell, and said in a deep voice:

"Now that everyone is here... Then you can start!"

Hearing this, Krell looked down and said:

"In the past few months, the Idar Central Intelligence Agency has conducted detailed analysis and research based on the intelligence gathered during this period."

"We believe that now that the Church of Illumination has intervened in the mainland situation and publicly supports the Grand Prince Pitzman as the sole legal heir to the Norman Empire, then once the church starts a war, the second prince Leyz, who occupies St. Lawrence, will Bear the brunt and become the church’s first target attack!"

Hearing that, everyone present nodded in approval.

In fact, everyone is very clear in their hearts that the Protestant church born in the Principality of Idar is the biggest rival of the Bright Church.

But……

The barrier of the Armis Mountains and the glorious achievements of the Principality of Idar in resisting the Odin Empire will undoubtedly make the Church of Illumination not dare to act rashly.

Because now there are only two border neighboring countries directly bordering the Principality of Idar, one is the Kingdom of Basel in the south, and the other is the Third Norman Empire controlled by the second prince Ryz.

If the Church of Illumination wants to attack the Principality of Idar, then it can only attack by way, and this...

Not to mention whether the Crusades can defeat the Idar army on the frontal battlefield, such a strategy will undoubtedly put the Crusades’ logistics supplies at great risk.

"But... once the Church of Illumination launches an offensive against the second prince Rez, then they must consider the possibility of the Principality of Idar and the Kingdom of Cecil to support!"

Yes,

Just the day before, Bruno had received the shocking news that the western part of the empire was officially independent.

Following the Second Norman Empire and the Third Norman Empire, the Kingdom of Cecil was finally born!

So far,

Although the Principality of Idar is still a vassal of the Norman Empire in name, in fact, the original Norman Empire has become a stage for the four forces to compete with each other.

Looking at the reactions of everyone around him, Krell continued:

"So... aside from the Cecil Kingdom in the western part of the empire, if the church really takes the initiative to launch a spring offensive, then they must consider whether we, the Principality of Idar, will intervene in this church by the light. The war started!"

"And this also means... they need something to involve the energy of the Principality of Idar! Let the Principality of Idar have no intention of intervening in the wars and conflicts in the interior!"

Sarah Kellen nodded in agreement and said:

"So what's your inference?"

Heard that,

Creel took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The Kingdom of Basel!"

Shabi:? ? ?

Old Ford:? ? !

Sarah Coron:? ! !

Julian Heaton:! ! !

Hearing the answer given by Creel, Julian Heaton was slightly surprised and asked in amazement:

"The Kingdom of Basel?! What is your reason?!"

It can’t help that he doesn’t worry,

after all……

As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, Julian Heaton clearly knows the profit structure of the Idar Chamber of Commerce and also knows the layout of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Basel.

There……

It is the most important market and dumping location for the industrial products of the Idar Principality outside the Principality.

The high spirits of the Moor liquor industry, the Norman family that represents the noble style, and various commodities from the Duchy of Idar...

These commodities and goods have been sold in large quantities to the Kingdom of Basel during this period, which has brought huge revenue and profits to the Idar Chamber of Commerce!

If something happens on the side of the Kingdom of Basel, then the impact on the Idar Chamber of Commerce is enough to be considered a painful one!

"Because the Kingdom of Basel and the Principality of Idar have extremely close business relations, according to the orders of the Lord Duke, the Idar CIA deployed a large number of agents there, which is an important monitoring target of the Idar CIA."

"During this period of time, we discovered that... some bishops of the Church of Illumination had many contacts with the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel, and one of them attracted our attention..."

While talking, Krell pulled out a very detailed portrait from his file folder.

"His name is Bishop Olsson, an important member of the Illuminati Church Religious Inquisition, which is suspected to be highly related to the decrease in the concentration of magic power in the western part of the empire!" Krell said in a deep voice.

"You mean... the Church of Illumination wants to replicate what happened in the western part of the empire in the Kingdom of Basel?!"

Idar’s Minister of Defense Sarah Coron frowned and said: “But... this does not seem to be closely related to the Idar Principality. If the Idar Principality really decides to send troops, I am afraid it will not be affected by this."

"In fact, the Bright Church is already doing this!"

Regarding this point, Krell did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer: "Since the end of last month, the concentration of magic power in the Kingdom of Basel has begun to continue to decline~www.novelbuddy.com~ The concentration of magic power has now Less than 70% of the previous!"

"what?!"

Creel ignored everyone's surprise, but continued:

"But as Saka Coron mentioned, the Principality of Idar adheres to the concept of industrialization of magic. The reduction of magic concentration and the concentration of magic will provide great convenience to the popularization of magic industrialization, so... …This is not the focus of the Idar CIA, and it will not affect the foreign policy of the Principality of Idar!"

"And... if it really only activates the magic well located in the Kingdom of Basel, the church does not need to send a large number of bishops to run among the nobles."

"As for the purpose of these bishops, our'friend', Duke Stein, whose territory is located in the southern kingdom of Basel, has provided us with some very interesting news."

Creelton paused, and finally said:

"The Church of Illumination wants to persuade the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel to force them to launch an offensive against the Duchy of Idar!"
