Chapter 168, Heavenly Punishment!

Just after receiving the news of Duke Sunflower's eastward advance, another three days passed.

The Grey Pigeon Fort is crowded with people. The Autumn Tulip, a luxury airship capable of carrying 6,000 people, slowly rose into the sky in the open space behind the mountains.

Grey Dove Duke Holey Herbert personally took command this time! He was accompanied by Turan, the chief knight, and three of his most capable lieutenants: Papathia, Gerfes, and Veron.

The Duke of Grey Pigeon divided the six thousand men into two large pieces. Among them, 3,000 people were led by him and went straight to Sunflower Castle. The other 3,000 men will be led by three of his henchmen, and after the airship crosses the Benlei River, these 3,000 people will be laid down in the hinterland of the other party and head straight to the port of Blooming, southwest of Sunflower Castle!

It was not a big problem to take the port city with this raid. The 3,000 men will then split into three and build fortifications between the Sunflower Territory and the Benlei Plains in case the Golden Crocodile receives reinforcements from the news.

Although the three Holger brothers were having a good fight, Horley still had to take all the accidents into account. He didn't want the good thing he had been waiting for for a long time to be ruined by the Golden Crocodile Duke.

The Autumn Tulip slowly rose to height, and soon its huge figure was submerged in the clouds of the sky.

Magical wings made of Mitre Silver stretch out to the left and right, and the Physics Engine and Magic Engine are turned on at maximum power at the same time!

This behemoth broke through the sea of clouds, spread its wings and flew straight to the south!

In the attic of Grey Dove Castle, the blind girl Sophia folded her hands and prayed silently to the sky.

Although the Duke did not tell her much about the war, although the girl's eyes could not see, her mind was very delicate.

She could faintly feel that her Mr. Wren did not seem to be as simple as a businessman.

At least she hadn't heard of a merchant who could command a knight.

But the girl never pierced the window paper of this lie. Because she can feel the boundless love and care from Mr. Wren... Imagine that there is such a person who is wholeheartedly devoted to himself, isn't it enough? She doesn't expect much....

Maybe he's a lord? Can't be with yourself openly because of your identity?

Sophia thought.

At the same time, Sunflower Fort, along the Benlei River.

Patrolling soldiers patrolled the banks of the long river.

Although the Duke of Sunflower had expected that the gray dove on the opposite side would make a move, he never imagined that the other party would come so quickly! And from heaven.

As a result, the garrison he arranged on the bank of the river was completely an ornament, which did not play a role in blocking the enemy at all, but caused the emptiness of the belly of the territory.

Francis stood on the high platform of the castle, looking at the calm Benlei River in the distance, frowned and said to himself: "Why do your eyelids keep jumping today?" There is no movement on the Benlei River. The gray dove on the opposite side is also surprisingly quiet, could it be that the Duke is in some trouble? ”

Francis naturally didn't know what he was going to face next, and he thought of his inner uneasiness on the blocked attack of the Duke of Sunflower.

But soon he denied his idea. This time, Duke Sunflower brought all his heavy cavalry "Iron Rhinoceros" to the east, just to teach his waste brother a good lesson! And divide the several mines in the middle of the two people's territory into the belonging range of the sunflower.

And the 2,000 soldiers deployed along the banks of the Benlei River were enough to deal with any harassment and attack from and from the other side.

Even the "octopus" Provencal family did not want to bargain for anything in front of this dense fortification.

What he was worried about now was the Duke of the Golden Crocodile who was cowering in the Benlei Plains.

Lord Taryn, this younger brother Francis, has seen it, and it can definitely be called a military genius!

He couldn't help but think of the rumors about the waste prince in the East.

Looking at it this way, aren't the three princes of the Holger family all having their own merits? None of them are inactive!

Francis shook his head, sweating for his own adult future.

Although Holger III is not very old, his body is still strong. But who can tell which will come first, tomorrow or the accident?

Still vaguely uneasy, Francis called the guards and ordered them to intensify their patrols of the Benley River and inspect the castle's defenses in order to deal with the unknown troubles.

At noon on this day, the weather was cloudy. Heavy white clouds floated in the clear blue sky. From a distance, it looks like a castle in the clouds.

Francis was sitting on a high platform admiring the magnificent scenery of the clouds, but suddenly found that the thick clouds were suddenly broken through the middle! A black dot appeared high in the sky.

"Huh? What is that? He wondered.

But after only a few breaths, the black dot got bigger and bigger!

Feeling uneasy, Francis hurriedly called for the guards to get his own lookout glasses.

And when Francis adjusted his focus and looked at the sky again, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly! He exclaimed, "This... What the hell is this!? ”

Yes, he saw a huge, flying ship in the sky!

Of course, that shape is closest to a ship, except that on either side of the boat are two things that resemble the wings of a bird.

Francis lowered his lookout glasses and felt a little dry in his throat.

He hurriedly shouted to the castle: "Everyone ~~~ prepare to be on alert!" The archers are all in place! Set up all the crossbows for me! The goal is from the sky! ”

The soldiers were a little puzzled when they heard the adult's order. Where is the enemy here? How did they not see it? Do you want to set up a bed crossbow?

But soon Francis's scolding was heard again, and the soldiers hurried to their positions. The middle-level generals urged the low-level generals, and the low-level generals kicked his soldiers with their feet.

Soon, some inexplicable soldiers all took up their defensive positions, and the archers also set up longbows and bed crossbows.

They looked at the white clouds and scattered birds in the sky, and some of them wondered what was wrong with the adults.

Soon, they knew what was going on.... Because the black dot in the sky is getting bigger and bigger, even without a lookout scope, you can clearly tell with the naked eye that it is a terrifying air airship!

"Oh my God.... The gods are above! What the hell is that?? ”

"How can a ship fly into the sky? Am I dazzled? This... How exactly is this done? ”

"My grandmother used to tell me in bedside stories.... It was the ship that the gods used to go down to earth... It will float in a sea of clouds..."

"Hell! Ask your grandmother how to fight this big guy! ”

Soldiers, you say a word, look at the behemoth above your head.

Although they raised their bows and arrows to set up their crossbows, the airship in the air was still too far away from them! Even the strongest longbowman would not have thought of shooting an arrow into the air so high.

As for the bed crossbow ... What do you have to do to get the ballista to fire upwards at 90 degrees vertically? They won't anyway.

Grey Dove Duke Horay clasped his hands in front of his chest and stood alone on the bow of the "Autumn Tulip".

His slightly narrowed eyes looked down and saw the sunflower soldiers crawling around like ants on the ground.

The corners of the duke's mouth moved slightly, and only two words were spoken, "Fire." ”

Yes, fire. He ordered his great alchemist, Elijah, to install the Ancient Magic Cannon excavated from the ancient ruins on the airship.

In this way, this airship, originally built for pleasure, became a huge aerial warship in the blink of an eye!

As for the magic cannon, it was a trophy they had unearthed in the ruins of an ancient battlefield in the Mersa Mountains a month earlier.

This cannon has magical features! It can absorb the magical artifacts around it, condense it into a devastating force, and then shoot it out!

After the transformation of the great alchemist Elizhe, this cannon was specially equipped with a full ten cans of storage tanks for storing mana.

In other words, this Ancient Magic Cannon has ten rounds of ammunition! And now, they have to use the first shot to greet the sunflowers below them.

The pitch-black muzzle of the magic cannon exudes a sense of oppression that selects people and devours them! Under the hard adjustment of the soldiers, there was a creaking sound of gears turning from the artillery room located in the bottom warehouse.

The muzzle of the magic cannon slowly moved downward, and it was soon aimed at the main tower of Sunflower Castle.

The artilleryman in charge of firing the cannon went up to convey the news that it had been prepared, and the gray-haired Duke of Hooley only raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said "put".

The gun lock was slammed down! Countless mysterious magic runes gradually appeared on the surface of the black barrel of the magic cannon!

Those magic runes were composed of ancient magic imprints, and they gradually spread to the entire cannon body under a flash of white light, until finally the storage jar of magic power was instantly emptied by the magic cannon!

A burst of white light appeared at the muzzle of the gun! There was a flash of thunder in the sky! With a "boom", a force that destroyed the world fell from the sky! The main tower in the middle of the Sunflower Castle!

Francis sensed something was wrong the moment the magic cannon flashed. He threw himself out of his arms and fell straight from the tower to the terrace on the next floor.

But even so, even if he breaks a few ribs, he will never regret it! Because the next moment he fell, a pillar of light slammed down from the sky! The tower platform he had just stood on was blasted out of a big hole!

The main tower of Sunflower Fort was directly smashed by an attack from the sky! However, the bombardment was much more powerful than that, as it blasted through the top floor of the tower and then into the castle tower! Finally, it will be located in the basement of the castle.

The cannon containing magical energy spread violently around at this moment! Just like the shock wave generated after the explosion, all the windows were shattered.

The soldiers affected by this shock wave also bleed from their ears and noses instantly, and lost consciousness on the spot.

"Boom! Bang Bang

The tremendous momentum of the shockwave blasted countless small holes in the walls around the castle! One wall collapsed due to severe damage.

Fortunately, it wasn't a load-bearing wall or a load-bearing column, but even so, the blow just now almost blew Sunflower Fort to pieces.

The archers in charge of the defense were all knocked to the ground by the shockwave. Francis held his head as the crumbling stones crackled on him like rain.

The puffs of smoke and dust kept him from opening his eyes, and his ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

The archers on the tower's lookout were lucky enough to fall to the ground with their heads on their hands before the bombardment, only to bleed from their ears. The unlucky ones watched as the shelling fell, and then the shock wave flew off the tower! One by one, like raw eggs thrown from the roof of a building to the concrete floor, they snapped and fell into meat sauce.

Duke Horay stood in the air and watched all this, just snorted lightly from his nose and said to himself: "Well, the effect is not bad. ”

Well, the Ancient Demon Cannon with such a powerful destructive power was only described by him as good?

The duke raised his left hand and drew several circles in the air with his fingers.

The Chief Knight Captain saw his lord's gesture and knew that it was an order to land the airship.

He turned and shouted for the air sailors to lower their altitude and land the airship in a clearing not far east of Sunflower Castle.
