Chapter 507 The city is broken!

It took Bruno only one day and one night to travel from Idar to the Ogure Desert.

Although he had ridden a griffin to travel back and forth in the sky before, this was the first time that Bruno rode a griffin on such a long journey.

Looking down at the earth from the sky, the vastness of the world makes it hard not to feel one's own insignificance. However, this time, Bruno also had another wonderful feeling in his heart - this was the prosperity he created for the Idar Empire!

The long winter made it difficult to see lush greenery on the earth, but the cloudless sky allowed Bruno to see the village and town markets located on the earth clearly.

On both sides of the border, there are two completely distinct and different worlds!

The brand new bird's-eye view of Idar made him feel more deeply the responsibility he shouldered, and he also realized more clearly why Mundell and others would do everything they could to dissuade him from taking action this time.

In a sense, for Mundell, Old Ford and others, the Stuart family they represented was everything in their hearts! And as the patriarch of the Stuart family and the emperor of this empire, why did he rashly and without reason run to the front line to jump up and down at this time?

Not to mention others, without knowing the inside story, even Bruno himself would hate such irresponsible behavior.

But he just had no way to explain it!

What could he say? Should he tell everyone that he was the owner of the system? As for going to the Ogure Desert, was it to find a way to completely overthrow the Church of Light?

There are too many mixed elements in this world! Magic power, divine power, power of faith, and magic technology that combines many elements. There were even gods in the past!

Although no one in the Idar Empire would question his words, Bruno always held the idea of ​​keeping the secret of the system in his heart! Because even Bruno himself was just reading online articles for fun before he got the system. He never thought that one day he would actually be reborn and be treated like the protagonist of an online article.

This is ridiculous! There is no way to explain it!

And to be honest, apart from the lingering intuition in his mind, Bruno had no way to determine whether the wonder bonus provided by the Augure Pyramid was related to the Church of Light! However, the ever-shortening time limit after the time-limited mission stimulated Bruno's thoughts all the time.

so……

In order not to regret it, and not to waste this time traveling, he had to go through it! The battle in Boulder City was still intense, and the northern battlefield was unstoppable. If Bruno didn't go to the Ogure Desert at this time, then he might really have to give up this mission! Accompanied by the Griffin Knights, Bruno crossed the border of the Idar Empire and stared at the yellow sand streaking across the sky.

In his previous life, Bruno had never been to the desert in person. Looking at the endless desert and thinking of the Idar army that had been marching for three or five days and nights, Bruno couldn't help but feel an indescribable touch in his heart.

…

"Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg and all officers and soldiers of the 2nd Armored Brigade of Idar's Southern Army Group are here to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

In front of the Augure Pyramid, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg led the soldiers present to pay the highest respect to Emperor Idar who led the Idar Empire forward.

"You have worked hard." Bruno strode forward and hugged the Idar civilian officer with a determined face.

"His Majesty……"

Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg had imagined the scene of an audience with the emperor countless times, but at this moment, what was happening before his eyes was something he had never expected.

Looking at the approachable Emperor, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg felt flattered.

"I know you!"

Bruno patted the tough guy on the shoulder vigorously: "Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg, you are the highest-ranking civilian general in the Idar Army! You, and you all..." As he spoke, Bruno looked at the Idar soldiers around him: "You will be the pride of all Idar civilians! Your bravery and perseverance deserve a medal of honor!"

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg's eyes actually became slightly moist.

This is not an exaggeration! And it is not an exaggeration at all!

Every Idar person of commoner origin remembers the oppression they experienced in their past lives. At that time, no matter how hard they tried or how much they proved their worth, they would only be an unknown farmer.

But……

Bruno, the ruler of the Idar Empire, broke this convention for the first time.

He not only improved the lives of the common people, but also gave countless common people hope for the future, allowing these people who were the poorest in the past to have unlimited imagination for the future! Only those who have truly experienced these changes can understand the importance of Bruno in their hearts! Understand their gratitude and admiration for Bruno! "For the glory of the empire!"

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg's voice revealed a firmness that had never been heard before.

Bruno nodded with great satisfaction, and then looked behind the soldiers: "Is that... the legendary Augure Pyramid?"

Behind the soldiers, under the scorching sun at noon, the Augure Pyramid located deep in the desert seemed to be covered with a layer of light golden attire, like the reflection of the God of Light in the world.

In his previous life, Bruno had only seen pictures of pyramids on the Internet, but it was obvious that the Augure Pyramid that was right in front of him was far more shocking than any picture on the Internet.

At this moment, even though Bruno had seen many wonders, he was still speechless for a long time standing here.

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg gave an affirmative answer: "Since we came here, the magic machine given to us by the Idar CIA seems to have lost its effectiveness."

After saying that, he pointed to the magic machine whose pointer had been broken.

Soldier Bruno took the broken pointer from his hand and walked to the front of the magic machine.

After personally checking it, Bruno suddenly asked: "Have you found an entrance in this pyramid?"

"Entrance?"

Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg was slightly stunned, then pointed at the pyramid and said, "There is a stone door on the back of the pyramid, but because the pointer of the magic instrument suddenly broke, we didn't have time to go in and explore."

"Then you all stay outside for a while."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg seemed quite surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are you going to... go in? You know, no one knows what's in there..."

"Obeying orders is the duty of an Idar soldier." Bruno simply said calmly.

After a long while, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg said with difficulty: "Yes! But if...if you don't..."

"No ifs, and...it will only take one day at most, no, two days at most." Bruno said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg nodded resignedly, but he had already made up his mind that if his Majesty failed to leave the pyramid within two days, he would lead his men in even if he would be charged with disobeying military orders.

after all……

This is the heartland of the Church of Light, and the dangers within the pyramid are completely unknown.

"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg, now that we have reached an agreement on this, your mission after I enter the pyramid is to ensure that the Crusaders do not come back again during this period of time. You can do it, right?"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Lieutenant Colonel Cornell Berg replied seriously.

Behind the lieutenant colonel, the Idar soldiers present responded to Bruno's order with the standard Idar military salute.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

The walls of the Stone City were strong, and the Crusader soldiers stationed there were also very brave. The reason for this evaluation was that they had persisted for three days and nights under the artillery bombardment of the Idar people! In the eyes of Sam Layton, the commander of the Central Theater, this was already a remarkable achievement.

after all……

Even the fierce soldiers of Odin who defended Sorenborg at that time only lasted less than half a day under the heavy bombardment of the Idar people.

But now, the weapons and equipment of the Idar people are no longer the same as before.

The brand new equipment that the Idar Army has adopted has long become a cliché among Idar officers, so we will not mention it here.

The combat effectiveness of the Idar Air Force alone has improved by more than one level during this period of time.

For example...

In order to cooperate with the army's artillery offensive, in addition to the hot air balloon reconnaissance battalion allocated at the beginning, on the third day of the artillery siege, the appearance of the Idar Air Force's "Sorenburg" airship almost completely destroyed the Crusaders' will to resist.

Want to ascend to heaven after death? Sorry, the Idar people have already laid a net in the sky, and the Crusader soldiers can only go to hell at best! Even though Caravi Wendel, the commander of the Crusader Corps stationed in Boulder City, was the most experienced general in the Crusader Corps, he was powerless in the face of the Idar people's artillery offensive.

There was no way. Although the offensive and defensive battle around Boulder City lasted for three days, in the first two days, the Crusader soldiers did not even see the soldiers of Idar’s army.

Even if they wanted to use swords and spears to stop the Idar people, what would greet them would only be a torrential downpour of artillery fire.

As a result, a deep sense of powerlessness, frustration, and shaking self-doubt gradually surged into the hearts of the Crusader soldiers.

not to mention……

The tactics used by the Idar people are not just artillery sieges, and the role of the hot air balloon reconnaissance battalion is not just dropping magic bombs.

They also delivered a promotional brochure produced by the Idar Cultural Propaganda Department! Although there are a large number of Crusader soldiers stationed in the Stone City, it is difficult to defend the city with only tens of thousands of Crusader soldiers.

Laborers, coolies, able-bodied men, craftsmen...

While the villages and towns around Boulder City were being fortified and cleared, civilians who could be of use to the church were "recruited" to assist in the defense of Boulder City.

Naturally, it is impossible for all the Crusaders stationed here to be devout believers with firm faith in the Church and the God of Light.

Some of them serve in the Crusaders just because they can have enough food to eat, and because their faith in the God of Light can improve and enhance their lives.

And it is precisely this group of people who mostly know a few words and phrases.

after all……

If they cannot even read a single word, how are they supposed to read and understand religious texts?

So, as time went on, when the outskirts of Boulder City were being bombarded by Idar's army, the promotional brochures that were dropped into Boulder City by Idar's Air Force began to circulate among the troops stationed in Boulder City.

It is true that most of the Crusaders are devout in their faith, but... many things that have happened in the past have brought shocks to their faith time and time again.

A little bit adds up to a lot, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change, coupled with the powerful catalyst of Idar's army attacking the city...

When the solid walls of the Stone City were finally reduced to dust by the Idar people's artillery fire, the resolute fighting spirit of the Crusaders in the city seemed to have dissipated at this moment.

The "Sword of Dawn" main battle tank forcibly broke through the fragile city gate that was on its last breath, and crushed the rubble, wood blocks and all obstacles in the city.

Just like what happened in the Ogure Desert, no one could use a sword to cut through the hard armor of the main battle tank, and no one could use their body to stop the attack of Idar's army.

But even so, when the Crusaders saw the faith they believed in become shaky and saw the Stone City become precarious...

They still rushed forward with heroic faces, trying to use their bodies to block the advance of Idar's army and bury the city with their lives.

"The Battle of Boulder City was the most brutal war I have ever participated in. It was a crushing defeat caused by the disparity in magical weapons. Even veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles could not stand the blood on the battlefield and vomited."

Several years later, an Idar soldier who had participated in the Battle of Boulder City recalled this.
