"Your Majesty Hattar, we are late, please forgive us." Lin En nodded slightly, giving the new king enough face.
Hattar was like a traveler who had grasped a life-saving straw in despair, and he quickly spoke out, "Sir Lin, the army of the Holy See has now entered the kingdom. We must organize people to drive them out as soon as possible!"
"Please be patient, Your Majesty." Lynn slowly calmed the impatient Hattar.
It must be said that compared to his father, King Bazel, the second prince's cultivation and tolerance are far behind...
As for those nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom who defected, Lin En was not surprised at all.
After all, the power of the Holy See has been operating in the kingdom for a long time, and they only occupied the capital by trickery, which is not enough to convince the people. Such a situation was within his expectations.
Lin En looked around at the nobles who were thinking different things, and said slowly, "The reinforcements from the Wizard Land have probably arrived. If you are interested, why not go and have a look together!"
"Then I'd like to see it for myself!" Marquis Mortain said mockingly.
A few years ago, he had the honor of seeing the God's Punishment Army returning from the crusade against the alien demons in the Holy City. They could only be described as invincible! It was said that the members of the God's Punishment Army were all selected from the elite of the army, and even from the witch hunters. All of them were knights who had received the grace of God. It was no exaggeration to say that only three or four thousand people could sweep across the entire kingdom!
Add to that the precious Griffin Knights, each of whom has a clergyman, and what kind of army can compete with the Church?
Under the leadership of Lin En, King Hattar and a group of nobles walked out of the palace.
As soon as he went out, Mortan realized something was wrong, because there was no warm sunshine outside, but rather darkness.
"It's getting dark. Is it already night?" Gad, who had been promoted to Duke, said at a loss, while a noble next to him looked up at the sky in horror.
"Look up at the sky!"
Everyone present raised their heads and saw an extremely shocking scene. Hundreds of airships were floating in the sky at an altitude of 100 meters. Each one was as big as a house. They were connected together to cover the sky. The shadows they cast even spread to the entire palace, creating a strange scene that it was clearly afternoon, but it seemed like night was approaching...
Although Lin En had used airships in the war to destroy the kingdom's elite troops, this was the first time that this thing was actually unveiled in front of everyone.
The shock brought by this huge flying object is self-evident. Even Mortan, who had a mocking expression on his face before, was now so shocked that he was speechless.
"Let's go, they will land in the square!"
Lynn's shout woke the dazed nobles from their dreams.
When they arrived at the square, the airships had already been parked neatly in the huge square.
The army from the mysterious wizard land was completely different from what they had known before. The composition of this army was extremely strange. No one held swords or guns, and no one used crossbows...
Rows and rows of musketeers in formal attire stepped down from the airship under the gaze of the crowd, their gleaming bayonets sparkling in the scorching sun.
Mortan and others frowned. Since the Battle of the Royal Capital over a month ago, they had collected a lot of intelligence and could naturally recognize that the weapons these people were holding were a kind of peculiar weapon called a musket.
Previously, Mortan had always thought that the 3,000 musketeers that had captured the royal capital were the limit of what these devil's followers could muster. After all, this kind of alchemical equipment should be difficult to make. Unexpectedly, there were enough of these things to equip a legion of 10,000 people!
What concerned him more were the strange-looking iron lumps that were carried down from the airship...
Such a heavy thing, without being pulled by horses or carried by camels, was able to move forward freely. Mortan had no idea where the power for this thing came from, and could only guess that it was the evil magic of those wizards.
Both Lin En and the Parliament attached great importance to this first battle with the Holy See. They could only win and not lose, otherwise all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Lynn brought almost everything he could!
Artillery, alchemical armored vehicles, electromagnetic rail guns, and the ironclad ships sailing on the sea...
However, due to the limited carrying capacity of the airship, this was only the first wave of support troops, totaling about 12,000 people.
Even such a small military parade was shocking enough for Mortan and others! "Sir Lin, I wonder what these strange steel boxes are used for?" King Hattar asked curiously.
The only thing he could think of was to throw these iron boxes all over the battlefield, but he knew it wasn't that simple even with his knees.
Pointed at by those ferocious cannon muzzles, they even inexplicably felt like they were facing death.
"You will know it in a few days." Lin En smiled and had no intention of revealing anything.
The great nobles of these kingdoms were half-forced to stay in the royal capital, which allowed Hattar to take control of most of the kingdom in a short period of time. Who knows if anyone could bypass their surveillance and secretly reveal information about them to the Holy See.
The reason for holding such a blatant military parade is to stabilize the situation, so as to prevent some people from having ulterior motives and causing chaos within the kingdom, resulting in a situation of internal and external difficulties. Naturally, those newer weapons cannot easily reveal information...
Now it seems that the effect is quite good...Lin En's eyes swept across the frightened faces of the nobles, and then looked at the subjects who were watching in the distance.
Lin En's deliberate concealment made King Hattar somewhat dissatisfied, but he knew more clearly that the Kingdom of Hadratha must rely on these wizards to fight against the Church, so he had no choice but to suppress the slight dissatisfaction in his heart.
After the short military parade, Lynn handed over the laser launcher drawings that he had prepared long ago to Anthony, asking the master of electromagnetism to study them and try to manufacture them as soon as possible in time for the next war.
As for Lin En himself, he returned to the mansion arranged for him by Hattar, preparing to develop new fire magic.
This time he did not appear in the Kingdom of Hadrata in the form of a magic projection, but came in person.
In order to support this war, the parliament sent more than a thousand wizards to the royal capital, including several great wizards. Even the legendary speakers would take action when necessary. As the maker of the plan and the hub of the Wizarding Land and the [Society of Mysticism], he was naturally no exception.
