Just as the captain of the guards said, there were no enemies left in the entire town. All wizards had already evacuated, and those responsible for the defense were guards who had been assembled on short notice.

It is said that each of them is under an evil curse, and if they do not obey orders, pus will flow all over their bodies and they will fester and die!

The so-called tight defense and heavy garrison are all illusions!

The wizards actually relied on an empty city as a deterrent, wanting to delay them all here. They even built a solid high wall only on the side facing the kerosene city, and the other three sides were just for show.

"No wonder..." Joshua said in a cold tone. He had always thought that it would be impossible to reinforce the city walls on all four sides in just a few hours.

Apparently they were all fooled!

"Wait, if all those wizards have evacuated, then what is this magic I feel?" Lucia paused and suddenly thought of this.

Before entering the city, she felt a strong fluctuation of magical power in the city, so she thought that the wizards were still gathered in the town.

That should be the direction of the manor! "Now, immediately, go and call back all the people heading to the manor!" Lucia felt a sense of alarm in her heart, and then, without waiting for the bishops to act, she closed her eyes and used divine magic to communicate.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Just as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard and a thick flame appeared in the direction of the manor...

This was exactly the gift that Lynn left for them before leaving - a large amount of gunpowder!

The manor was set up with a magic that could sense vibrations. It would detonate three minutes after detecting a large number of people entering the manor! Judging from the intensity of the explosion, the large number of elite soldiers who went to search the manor were probably in great danger!

Joshua's expression was extremely ugly, and Lucia's face was also cold as ice.

"They have only been walking for more than ten minutes, and they have to carry more than 8,000 people and heavy artillery with them. It is impossible for them to maintain full speed. It may still be in time to catch up with them now..." Riddle reminded in a low voice.

Moreover, kerosene is very important to the empire, so there are a large number of people stationed at the mining site, which should be able to delay the situation for a while.

When the captain of the guards saw Riddle suggesting leaving, he burst into tears and cried out, "Your Excellency the Judge, Your Majesty the Saint, I am the most devout believer of the Lord. I go to the church every week to listen to the teachings. Please, please save me!"

Joshua rushed forward and put his hand on the captain's head. After three or five seconds, his expression became even uglier. "Idiot, there is no spell on you!"

The captain of the guard was completely dumbfounded, but he clearly saw a colleague who disobeyed the wizard's orders and melted into a pool of blood in pain and screams.

"That's just an illusion, a little trick of the wizards, just to scare you." Joshua explained, and then, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, he turned to look at Lucia and asked her to chase them immediately and wipe out all these despicable wizards! Once they get the kerosene, there might be another change and other troubles.

"Riddle, you will be the vanguard and go to stop those airships. There is no need for a strong attack. It will be enough to slow down their speed!" Lucia suppressed her anger and ordered in a deep voice.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will never let those wizards take away the empire's weapon." Riddle knelt on one knee and responded firmly.

A huge lava dragon had descended from the sky, and its heavy body crushed the hard bricks and stones, causing them to collapse. Its red eyes stared at the bishops in front of it with hatred, but its body and consciousness were still firmly bound by the divine magic.

Hundreds of griffin knights followed behind! ...

At the same time, Redel and others who were hiding outside the city also saw the giant dragon rising into the sky.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of monster is this? It's so big?" Ham said in astonishment.

"It should be a dragon?" Redel said uncertainly. Although they had never seen a dragon, it was a frequent character in many operas and bards' stories. It was synonymous with cruelty and power!

"It seems that what Lord Lin En said is right. These people have indeed gone in pursuit!" Redel looked at the expeditionary army that had just rushed into the city and rushed out again in a mighty force heading north, and he was extremely impressed.

This was exactly what Lin En expected! "Shall we act now?" Ham rubbed his hands and spoke excitedly.

"No, wait a little longer." Redel shook his head and said cautiously. "Wait until they are farther away. Anyway, let's send a message first!"

"Sorry to trouble you, Lord Anthony!" Redel turned his head and looked at Anthony beside him.

The latter nodded, closed his eyes, attracted the surrounding electromagnetic field, and sent out electromagnetic wave signals!

Since it has only been about twenty minutes since the airship took off, the distance is not far, so there is no need for a transfer station, and its speed is extremely fast.

The next moment after Anthony cast the spell, Lynn and others on the airship received the message.

"Very good, now that they have caught up, the next battlefield will be decided by us!" Beside him, Harof raised a smile.

Before, they had been racking their brains to think of how to deliberately lure the other party out and provide a suitable place to cast new magic.

However, Lin En proposed another idea, which is to choose to attack the location where the opponent must defend! Kerosene is the best target!

Once they show a strong desire for this thing, the Church will not let them get it and will definitely follow them! This is a real conspiracy!

What's more, they left some "little gifts" in the city. If everything goes well, the other party must have been furious and even lost their minds, right?

After being fooled several times in a row, anyone would have to fight to the death! "It's a pity that it was too fast. We didn't have time to make more arrangements. Otherwise, it should be foolproof!" Lin En said helplessly.

According to his previous estimates, the Holy See had just suffered thousands of casualties. Even if they were in a hurry, they would have to rest for half a day before launching an attack tomorrow morning. However, the opponent's actions were obviously much faster than he expected...
