Chapter 482: Moonlight Castle Falls (Subscribe)
Luo Yi's voice remained steady, as if all this was within his expectations.
But the entire tent fell into deathly silence.
Everyone's eyes widened, including Ms. Palacios, who looked up with disbelief in her eyes.
The news came too suddenly, and even this abrupt change was beyond their imagination!
In fact, this is what the three empires are planning.
They also have to save face. If they attack their trading partners for no reason, it will easily cause collective panic!
Especially those duchies and kingdoms. If you can capture the Flower Territory at will, can you also attack them at will?
Then who will ensure their safety?
Who will maintain the international order?
None of the three empires wanted to worry about such consequences, especially at this sensitive time when the war with the Habsburg Empire was in full swing.
It would be bad if these principalities and kingdoms were pushed into the imperial camp.
Therefore, they needed a legitimate reason, and it was under such circumstances that the three marquises caught their attention.
In a sense, the Battle of Moonlight Castle was completely redundant.
All the three marquises had to do was to pick out a group of people, have Loy defeat them, and then send out a letter for help, and the three empires would be finished.
There is a precedent for this as well!
For example, the noble war between the Raymond family and the Wick family in Frost Moon Valley.
Finally, the Carlisle family intervened based on the principle that nobles could ask for protection from higher nobles.
However, the three marquises are lords of a region after all. They have been passed down for hundreds of years and live a carefree life. Why would they be willing to be dogs for others?
Therefore, they dragged their feet in gathering people and traveled at a leisurely pace, just to gain enough time to make various preparations.
For example, he hired three powerful men from the natural disasters and promised them great benefits afterwards, so that they would fight to the death.
For example, the legendary scroll, they either took out their resources, bought it, or exchanged it, and finally found what they wanted.
As for the knights, we had to persuade them to lead the charge, regardless of life or death, but we had to use all kinds of means, including threats and inducements.
This is how the life-and-death battle outside Moonlight Castle and the thunderous blow happened.
It’s a pity that Luo Yi finally solved it in the easiest way.
Their failure put everything back on track, and the three empires finally got the legitimate reason they wanted.
The silence seemed to last for a long time, but it also seemed to be very short, and the whole scene completely exploded.
Luo Yi felt that it was a foregone conclusion, but to everyone in the tent, it was like a thunderclap.
There was a noisy and chaotic sound, and many people were whispering to each other, so that the whole tent was buzzing and it was difficult to hear clearly.
Even among the powerful natural disasters, except for the direct descendants of the Flower Leader, many of those who had just arrived had ugly expressions.
For example, the faceless killer Ulysses, he just wants to find a wealthy place to live his own life.
What's the result?
The carefully selected flower collar has to face war again!
For example, the mechanical geek Nehemiah von Braun just wanted to find a place to do his research, hoping that one day he would achieve great success and return home in glory.
Let those who look down on him bow their proud heads before him.
But what about now?
The small Flower Territory actually has to face the targeting of the three major empires. This is the same treatment as the Habsburg Empire!
It’s just, it’s just fucked up!
Of course, the most excited person was the half-giant Bane. His roar even drowned out all the noise: "How dare they? How dare they?
They are betraying the Duchy of Normandy and blaspheming the Norman family. They all deserve to die! Damn it! "
Obviously, although Bane left the Norman family because of the need for a breakthrough, he still has a very high degree of recognition for the Norman family.
What the three marquises did was tantamount to open betrayal. Their loyal vassals ran away, and they lost all their face.
Although Grand Duchess Aphra will not do anything, those are the three great empires, and for the sake of family inheritance, she cannot do anything.
But this made the half-giant Bane feel extremely humiliated.
Flame Sword Saint Otto was still stirring up trouble: "They deserve to die, so do you dare to kill them?"
"They are in the fortress not far away. If you dare to kill them, just go and tear their heads off right now, okay?
If you just talk and don't practice, I look down on you!"
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?"
"I just think you don't dare. If you dare, I'll accompany you. How about tonight?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The half-giant was furious and almost agreed regardless of the consequences, but at this moment, there was a knocking sound.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The crisp knocking sounds were heard, and no matter how noisy it was, they were still suppressed.
Everyone's eyes converged, and they saw Luo Yi leaning forward slightly, tapping the table with his bent fingers.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled and said, "Flower Territory is not a soft persimmon. The Raymond family is the lion of this territory.
It doesn't matter who comes, I said that!"
"If they want to fight, I'll grant their wish. I just hope they don't regret it!"
Having said this, Luo Yi looked at the group of hired natural disaster masters and third-level extraordinary people and said, "Of course, I don't like to force others.
So, if you don’t want to live and die with me, and want to leave, you can find me privately.”
"Alright, that concludes the combat meeting. Everyone, go down and rest. Get ready."
"Tomorrow, Moonlight Castle will be broken."
…
The next day,
At dawn, after cooking, the Royal Guards continued their siege.
The artillery position fired five rounds in succession, and the shells landed accurately on the city wall.
Then, the walls of this small town collapsed everywhere.
Then the infantry squad charged, with heavy machine guns clearing the way and semi-automatic rifles firing, and they rushed into the city with almost no resistance.
The knights under the command of the three marquises still organized several counterattacks, and even many extraordinary strong men participated in the battle.
It’s a pity that being born in the wrong era is also a kind of sadness. The harder they rush, the faster they die.
There are just as many extraordinary strong men in the Flower Territory as there are in their group. It would still be a bit of a face-saver to die at the hands of these extraordinary strong men.
But if you die under the concentrated fire of heavy machine guns, it would be more or less shameful.
The only pity was that the three marquises escaped, even though Flower Lord had made advance arrangements and set an ambush on the way out of the city.
But they still couldn't stop using the teleportation magic circle!
They had probably been preparing for a retreat long ago, and the large teleportation magic circle they set up also had an anti-interference effect. But at the last moment, the three marquises all ran away.
As for the fourth-level natural disasters, if they are determined to leave, there is no point in chasing them.
As I said, there is no absolute struggle for interests, and the battles between the fourth levels have always been just enough.
At this point, the fall of Moonlight Castle and the defeat of the three marquises were a foregone conclusion.
However, the one commanding this battle was no longer Roy, but Alfonso Zeke.
Roy has already embarked on his journey back and rushed back to Brussels as quickly as possible. He needs to have a good talk with the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water.
It is worth mentioning that none of the natural disasters and extraordinary people hired from outside came to say goodbye to him.
This is not to say that they are so loyal, but they just started working for a short time and their master encountered a crisis, so they just ran away?
After that, no noble dared to take them in.
Reputation may seem illusory, but for a person living in the outside world, reputation is the most important thing!
Even if it is a dark disaster, they will strive to have a good reputation, otherwise they will not even be able to receive tasks on the mercenary platform.
But no matter what, Roy was very happy with their choice.
Brussels City,
Lion Manor,
After Luo Yi came back, he first went to the sixth floor of the Mage Tower to see his son Klein, and then found Lilia in the laboratory and told her that he was safe.
The little guy can already roll over, and he is white, chubby and very cute.
The most amazing thing is that he doesn't like to cry, but rather laughs. When his little mouth opens, his gums are exposed, which is very rare.
As for the people who took care of him, they were mainly Mira Greenman and two wet nurses who were specially hired.
His mother, Lilia, prefers to hang out in the library and laboratory. Occasionally, when she is tired, she teases her son to relieve stress.
No one can be a better mother than this!
As for Lilia, she is now tinkering with the second-generation King of Land Combat in the laboratory. Her research direction is to give the tank a magic shield or a defensive force field.
Of course, this is not easy.
The depiction of the magic circle is okay, the most important thing is the lack of magic power.
The storage of the magic pearl is considered efficient, but the consumption is still exaggerated when trying to drive this behemoth.
If we add a magic shield, it really won’t be enough.
Lilia currently has two research directions. One is to expand the magic energy capacity, such as finding a magic energy container that is better than the magic pearl, which is not easy to find.
For example, we could place more containers, but the internal space of the tank is limited, and too many containers would cause imbalance.
It's not impossible to seek breakthroughs in this direction, but it takes time to study. It is a "devious way" and should be used first.
That is to set the magic shield to the 'on-demand' type, that is, it is closed under normal circumstances, and can only be manually opened when encountering external forces or magic attacks to quickly support the deflection force field.
This is very effective for the bombardment of some field artillery.
The only drawback is that the car has to be extremely well-mannered and you have to seize the opportunity.
When Luo Yi found Lilia, he was conducting experiments to determine how long he could maintain full magic power and how much damage he could withstand.
After talking with Lilia and Hill for a few words, Roy went to the second floor of Lion Manor.
In the study, the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, had been waiting for a long time.
Luo Yi didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Your Excellency, you should already know the situation.
The three great empires are about to attack me. I wonder if there is anything you can teach me?"
