"Huh? What are they doing?"
Lydia was the first to run down from the airship. What she saw was the scene of thousands of people kneeling and kowtowing to her, and she was stunned for a moment.
After hearing everyone's shouts clearly, Lydia's face looked a little strange. It turned out that she was the messenger of God. How could she not know?
Behind him, soldiers wearing fine leather armor and holding muskets also stepped off the airship.
After several months of special training, fighting and killing monsters, these people no longer looked like new recruits, and each of them was filled with a murderous aura.
Although Redel was not as fussy as those mining slaves and thought it was a gift from God, he was still shocked when he saw dozens of airships appearing out of thin air in the valley, with thousands of people shouting down from them.
Linn naturally attached great importance to the Musketeers' debut. He brought almost all the airships produced by the workshop, including the batch originally promised to be handed over to the parliament. A total of seventy ships were collected. Just to move the entire musketry team and artillery team from Ietta to here in one go.
The ability to have such terrifying transport capacity is thanks to the alchemists who solidified magic such as "Wind Whisper" and "Lightness" on these airships, which greatly improved the carrying capacity of this thing.
This is why it only takes one day to get from Ijeta to the Kingdom of Hadhrata, but Linn asked Redel to delay for ten days, just to wait for the modification of these airships to be completed.
In addition, Philip and others in charge of airship production also came.
However, they are not here specifically to help, but to test the performance of the weapon. Only in a real battlefield can the advantages and disadvantages of this new weapon be tested.
Darren led a group of halflings to carry the new artillery down, and then asked impatiently. "Where is our enemy? Where is it? Where is it?"
His cannon is already horny!
The airship came in the opposite direction to the empire's army, and they did not collide directly.
"There is a cavalry team guarding just outside the valley, about one or two kilometers away from here... As for the army led by the Grand Duke, there is no sign of it yet." Reidel explained.
"No, they are already here. They will arrive in about half an hour!" Philip said seriously, and put down a cylindrical object in his hand. This is a telescope made using the principle of glass concave and convex lenses. , they also blessed the outermost lens with an eagle eye technique, which allows them to see very far away.
Much more powerful than the alchemy goggles invented by the Alchemy Association.
I heard that Dean Lin En also plans to build a larger astronomical telescope that can clearly see distant galaxies.
"Where?" This time it was Redel and the others' turn to be confused.
Phillip smiled and handed over the telescope in his hand.
Redel stretched out his hand to take it, and after asking clearly how to use it, he placed the cylindrical thing between his eyes. For a moment, his vision seemed to span a distance of tens of millions of meters, and he could even see something intuitively. Mottled patterns on the tree.
This is the magic of the combination of magic and technology, which has the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Redel sighed in his heart. Having experienced many wars in the dream world, he certainly understood how important it was to have the ability to observe the movements of distant enemies at any time.
After adjusting his emotions, Redel turned his head and started searching, and soon found his target.
In the far distance, buildings of different shapes and flags with family crests were flying all over the sky. More than 10,000 soldiers lined up. The long knives in their hands and the crossbows on their waists glowed in the sunlight. Cold light.
Once more than 10,000 people passed by, the sky was overwhelming, not to mention these fully armed elites. No noble in the Kingdom of Hadratah could have so many armored soldiers, but this time the expedition gathered more than 20 nobles private soldiers, each numbering hundreds or even thousands, to forcibly cobble together this large army.
Leidel, who was observing from a distance, felt frightened. Although there were tens of thousands of people here, the positions were sparse, and even the guy he was holding was not neat.
Qi, the power of the two cannot be compared at all, and they will collapse if they meet each other.
The only reinforcements they could rely on appeared out of thin air. Redel looked at the musketeers in front of him, especially the strange long sticks they held in their hands. He paused for a long time, thinking, this thing should be used for knocking. Wouldn't it work without their hoes?
Moreover, there are only 3,500 people, and it is still unknown whether they can fight against the regular army of the kingdom. In comparison, Redel is more concerned about the seventy behemoths in the valley. Perhaps this is the master wizard's trump card.
"Can the artillery hit at such a distance?" Philip asked.
"It's too far. It's better to be within a kilometer range. This way the accuracy is higher." Darren pondered and responded. Although Dean Lin En asked them to make artillery that can shoot two or three kilometers away, this idea So far it's just a design drawing.
"In that case, it's not too late to wait for them to launch an attack, just in case they run away." Philip nodded, and then ordered the wizard apprentices to start adjusting the artillery.
Others also took action. Lydia and others returned to the airship, activated the polarizing magic and rose into the sky. The Musketeers quickly loaded lead bullets to ensure that the first bullet could be fired immediately during the battle. .
On the other side, Duke Rickman led the army and rushed outside the valley. After receiving the report from the cavalry, he shook his head with a smile.
These people hid in the valley. Although they could rely on the terrain to defend, it was equivalent to blocking their retreat.
This is simply asking for death.
Just when Rickman was about to rush into the valley and start a massacre, he was surprised to find that Redel led someone out of the valley. A miner in ragged clothes, holding a long knife, a broadaxe, Hoes and mine drafts reluctantly lined up.
Seeing this scene, the nobles present laughed out loud. Joyce's face was extremely ugly. He had already felt the mocking eyes of everyone, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He actually knew how to do it back then. Being beaten by such an army, they were scared to death.
"We'd better be careful. If the other party dares to come out under such unfavorable circumstances, they probably have something to rely on!" Archbishop Nord suddenly reminded him.
Before going out with the army, the cardinal warned him that the affairs of the mining slaves in the southern part of the kingdom were really strange, and maybe they were related to wizards...
