"Niki, calm down." Curly-haired said, "We have already lost a lot of people, we can't lose another one to our own people. Damn, are these the only people left for the great Shadow Thief here?"
The blond sitting next to the oil lamp said, "Who knows if you are one of them? Their brainwashing is very powerful."
"It's not as powerful as the legend says. At least the new idiot-turning medicine we distributed is effective." Curly-haired man sat at the table and took out a map. "We've figured out the location. The tens of thousands of imprisoned merchants are almost dead, and the rest have been 'pre-processed' and are expected to turn into monsters. Everyone in the city has been given pills, but only some of them can be transformed."
Blonde: "It means the Savior Team's strategy of raiding the monastery worked."
"That's right." Curly said, "Since the enemy's production capacity can be restricted, they can be defeated. What intelligence has the rescue team sent?"
The blond held out a piece of paper, "Today, monsters are afraid of alcohol. Strong alcohol can even prevent this thing from spreading. Turning strong alcohol into mist can kill those poisonous mists and prevent them from spreading through the poisonous mist."
Curly Hair got excited: "Just strong liquor?"
Blonde: "Yes, see for yourself. Using strong liquor to wash the areas touched by the poisonous mist can also prevent infection."
Curly picked up the note, read it carefully and was extremely excited: "Well done, Savior Team. Without this information, I really don't know how to deal with the enemy."
Blond: "The problem is where to find so much liquor. This is not the horse urine sold in the tavern, it is strong liquor, and only the Shire Hills can supply this stuff in unlimited quantities."
At this time, the man who had been hiding in the shadows with a dagger suddenly said, "I do have some news. I heard that all the fountains in Kailin's temple have turned into strong liquor, and Kailin's priests have inexplicably gained the ability to turn water into strong liquor."
Everyone was silent.
Curly: "Really?"
Blonde: "Kaelin's temple... isn't it the tavern in Smoky Alley? That should be fake news deliberately released to attract business, right?"
Curly Hair: "No, there is Kailin's messenger in the salvation team, and Kailin is indeed the god of wine. It's not surprising that his priest can turn water into wine."
"You mean," the blond spread his hands, "Kaelin is suddenly reliable? How is that possible? That's Kailin. His temples only appear in places like Yanxiang... that kind of place! I even doubt whether he is a good god."
In fact, there is no doubt that Kailin is really a good god, but she is not very reliable. This is just like the boy who cried wolf. After being unreliable for a long time, people are afraid to believe her when she suddenly becomes reliable.
Curly Hair: "Anyway, first go and secure the liquor. At least those things won't be infected when they appear everywhere. Then send a letter to the floating island, telling them not to worry, because it may be a fierce battle for them next, and there will be many monsters besieging them."
The blond sighed, "Well, luckily the monsters confirmed so far cannot fly, so they probably can't cause any damage to the floating island itself."
"We can only be thankful for this." The curly-haired man looked sad, "but I don't know how many ordinary people in the city will die. Damn Catalonia, damn state religion. After this crisis, Catalonia must perish."
I didn't feel sad for the passing of Quanqin for a moment. What I rushed to the battlefield immediately was... asking for leave! I'm going to watch the game tomorrow. I really have to ask for leave this time. By the way, you may have noticed that the series of adventures in the previous volume were written very dryly, but the recent updates have become richer. Because I have rekindled my passion for this book, and the inspiration has come again.
Anyway, old readers all know that I started to describe the supporting characters as I pleased, which means that inspiration came, the quality is guaranteed, and it also no longer looks like an online novel...
Chapter 384 The War Begins
On the floating island.
Wang looked at the soldiers lined up, turned his head and asked Rosalie: "Is there any possibility for us to surrender?"
Rosalie patted him on the shoulder. "Even if you're joking, don't do it now! I know our forces are weak and we are not strong enough to deal with the two legions occupying Isonzo below, but we have an advantage!"
When Xiao Bai heard this, he looked at the dwarves who were happily adjusting their war machines and asked, "Is that the advantage?"
Wang: "Including that. Rather, in this situation, the dwarfs' machines are more useful. After all, they can spin around when they are airborne, but they can't kill our own people."
The dwarves' new war machine can not only perform whirlwind slashes, but also discharge electricity.
Wang looked again at the militia equipped with hastily made muskets. To be honest, he doubted what these militiamen, who had not received much training, could do.
Seeing Wang looking at the militia, Oscar, the militia's chief coach, said, "To be honest, this thing called a musket is still complicated to operate. Although it is much more powerful than a crossbow, it is not as accurate as a crossbow. I still think it is better to equip it with a crossbow at this stage."
Wang: "Have you ever considered that even though the crossbow has mechanical assistance to wind up the string, it still takes effort? The musket is different. It doesn't take any effort at all. Even if you are very tired, you can still fire."
Oscar: "...Oh, that's true. I thought the only advantage of this weapon was its high power."
Wang: "This is still the initial version of the musket. Give us time to gradually improve it, and there will be more powerful muskets."
At this time, Nini shouted from a distance: "We are already above the capital."
The king turned to the dwarves and ordered: "Push down your proud war machine."
Several dwarf master craftsmen immediately gave the order: "Start the machine! Check the landing system for the last time. Whoever breaks the machine will be laughed at for a year! Hurry!"
Wang took the speaking stone from Rosalie and said, "Flint, how about the wine?"
"Enough." Flint's voice came from the talking stone. "There is enough liquor for everyone, but... there are already a few people in Cailin's horn who are drunk."
Wang: "Don't worry about them, as long as you can fight the infection. You continue to work, the supply of strong liquor cannot be stopped, there will definitely be a large demand for strong liquor today."
After saying that, he returned the sound stone to Rosalie, turned his head and looked at Xiaobai: "We are ready to start the decapitation operation."
Elizabeth looked eager to try: "I'm ready to give them a taste of my hellfire rays and instant death rays."
Wang Chao: "Take it easy. You only see each type of ray a few times a day. You really think you are an eye demon."
Lily: "Let her cast the beam first, and then I'll start after she uses up all the beams. I've written down all the spells I prepared for today, take it."
As she spoke, Lily handed a parchment scroll to the king.
Xiaobai: "Wait a minute, are you all going to ride me?"
Wang blinked, "There are only three of us. And Lily is a small girl."
Xiaobai: "I want more food!"
Rosalie was shocked: "You already ate a whole ham this morning, and you want more?"
Xiao Bai argued: "A whole ham is a lot from a werewolf's perspective, but it's only half full from a griffin's perspective."
"The griffins are full too!" Rosalie complained, "I am the princess of Monrovia, and the Griffin Corps belongs to our country! You can't fool me."
The king raised his hand to silence Rosalie, and said to Xiaobai: "Just think of the sumptuous feast we will have after victory."
Xiaobai looked up at the sky, and it was obvious that he had a rich imagination, so much so that saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
She wiped her saliva: "No starch."
Wang: "There is absolutely no starch in your portion."
"make a deal."
As Xiaobai turned into a griffin, the dwarfs' machines began to start up.
The dwarf mechanical golems purchased from the Thorn Islands and the golems hastily made by the dwarf craftsmen on the Floating Island in recent days stood up one after another and began to move towards the edge of the island.
Ms. Theresa came before the king and said, "The knights are ready too. We will carry out the decapitation mission together with the salvation team."
Wang: "Without Flint, we can only count on you. But remember to remind everyone that holy healing and positive energy healing cannot be used."
Theresa: "I have already reminded you. However, I must admit that since I became a paladin, I have never thought that one day I would fight without positive energy. Ragnora is so evil that he actually tarnished the grace of my lord."
King: "This statement is not correct. The glory bestowed upon you by Lancelot has not yet expired."
Although the power of light also comes from Lancelot, it does not cause pollution.
Lancelot's authority also includes the sun, so he is half a sun god.
Typhon is the other half.
Theresa looked at the king and smiled. "You are right. I never thought that one day I would agree with a paladin of Typhon. For a long time, we have regarded the paladins of Typhon as competitors. After all, justice is not exclusive to a certain god."
Lily: "Are you two ready for a passionate debate now? I suggest you wait until the fight is over."
Wang shrugged, picked up Lily and put her on Xiaobai's back. Then he turned around to pick up Elizabeth, but Elizabeth rolled over on her own.
Facing the king's surprised look, Elizabeth smiled and said, "First, I'm good at riding horses. Second, I killed a beholder mistress myself, so what's so strange about riding a horse?"
The king nodded: "My lady, you are right."
He was the last one to get on the saddle, sitting at the back, and with a wave of his hand he gave the order: "Take off!"
Xiaobai flapped his wings and started to run - after all, he was bringing three people with him.
The griffin took off into the air and quickly rushed out of the edge of the floating island.
The king looked back and saw the dwarf war machines jumping off the edge of the island like dumplings and landing on the streets of Isonzo's capital.
The battle below has begun. The Catalan legions have formed a square formation to try to stop the dwarf war machine.
The airships in the sky kept dropping fiery glue.
However, the Catalan army had obviously prepared a shared fire protection scroll, and the fire glue only ignited the buildings on the street, but it had no effect on the Catalan army formation.
The king heard Elizabeth mutter, "It seems like we have been accompanied by war all this way."
Wang: "Indeed. Wherever you go, there will be a big battle at the end."
Lily: "Don't be distracted, we have strong enemies to deal with next. Where is the Knights' airship?"
The king glanced back and said, "In the back, Gaotrik and Nini are also up there."
Tomorrow will be the normal two updates. Today is the day I stayed up all night to watch the entire process of IG winning the championship. After watching it, I took a nap and it was already 6pm...
Chapter 385 Catalai's Plot
Shadow Thieves' agent Nicky was on the rooftop watching the landing of the floating island.
Just as he expected, the main force of the expeditionary army was the dwarves' war machines. After all, since the floating island had an unlimited supply of electricity, the dwarves' interest in the apocalyptic crisis had become much greater than that of other races.
Nich didn't understand why the dwarves were so keen on electricity. His understanding of electricity was still limited to magic like lightning arrows.
Electricity is the most difficult attack to defend against. Whether it will hit you or not is determined the moment it is launched, and there is no way to dodge it. Apart from the shared magic of protection against lightning, nothing can defend against lightning.
Shields won't work, and armor won't work either.
It is said that the dwarves have experimented with a fully enclosed armor that allows lightning to only travel along the armor and not shock the people inside, but Nitch believes that, like many of the dwarfs' engineering miracles, that is all exaggerated.
From Nicky's perspective, he couldn't see the main battlefield of the airborne operation.
However, the bombing by airships from the floating island was very effective, and a fire had already started on the west side of the city.
A flying ship and a single griffin rushed towards the Catalan Legion's ruling core in Isonzo: the Fortress of Seni.
Nicky muttered, "Wrong, wrong, we should go to the headquarters first!"
The blond Squealer came to Nikki and said, "It seems that the information we sent up has not yet been delivered to the floating island."
Nicky stroked his curly hair: "It can't be helped. The floating island is moving after all."
Squealer: "It's possible that he thought the Savior Team would know about this, so he didn't send it."
Nicky was shocked.
Just then, a scream was heard from the nearby block.
