Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 647: Developing the Founder’s Believers in the Air Force

As long as one bomb detonates on the ground of Saint Milon, the purpose of this raid will be achieved.

So Malva ordered: Retreat immediately!

Some airships had not yet dropped all their bombs, so they turned while dropping bombs.

The retreat route had already been planned, and they retreated from the direction of the slums, where there was not much air defense.

Hobert once again "zoomed in" the flying speed of the airship formation.

The airship shook violently. In order to reduce weight at the beginning of the redesign, most of the structure of the airship was made of wood and alloy. If it went faster, it would fall apart.

Soon, the airship formation exceeded the range of the anti-aircraft machine gun, but everyone did not dare to be careless at all, because the Extraordinaries stationed in Saint Milon were still chasing after them. Between the sky and the ground, fights between Extraordinaries continued to occur. fighting.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert continued to use his "distortion" ability to make the airship leave the city as quickly as possible.

At this moment, fireballs like meteorites broke through the clouds and attacked the airship formation. They were so fast that Hobert and the other demigods only had time to block some of them.

Boom~

Explosions were heard one after another in the sky. Most of the airships were penetrated from top to bottom. The large airbags of the airships were like deflated rubber balls. Before all the hydrogen inside was exposed, a fire ignited and an explosion occurred. , falling rapidly like a ignited leaf.

The middle-aged man's light yellow beard is carefully groomed. His hair is not very long, but it is not the short hair that is popular now, but the shoulder-length hair that was popular in ancient times.

But what's even more ridiculous is that the Fusac Empire actually allowed 8 of the more than airships to escape!

This result is difficult to accept, but what is even more unacceptable is that a god-like existence protected their departure.

At this time, regardless of the agreement between the gods, Hobert immediately entered the spiritual world and appeared in a forest south of Saint Milon.

Hobert knew that this was the return of support from the angels of the Fusac Empire.

The dark light that solidified around Him was very sacred, and exuded an aura that made people afraid to look directly at it.

It was not William I or any of the gods Vasily was familiar with.

Today they did something very crazy, avenging the enemy's bombing of Backlund. They knew that their mission had been completed!

Although many of them didn't know about the Extraordinaries and didn't quite understand what those fireballs and fire snakes coming from the ground were about, they all knew that they would definitely not be able to go back.

Vasili, who has a high nose and light yellow hair, has a stern expression. No one expected that Roen would launch an air attack on Saint Milon, because theoretically, their air power was contained.

Some officers and soldiers even laughed crazily and fired aimlessly at the rear with pistols and rifles.

At this time, the second round of attacks from the angels of the Fusac Empire began. This time the fireballs were denser than the previous round of attacks, and the abilities of the demigods were unable to protect the airship.

Vasily, the director of the Berklon Intelligence Agency, sat on the carriage and watched the firefighters and workers putting out the fire.

Just when they were very nervous and wondered whether the "creator" would give up on them, a tall figure sitting among the swords suddenly appeared in mid-air.

An air attack with only more than twenty airships is very ridiculous.

It is said that this stone tower has a history of more than a thousand years and looks very rough. Moreover, this stone tower does not become thinner as it gets higher. Instead, it has a round, attic-like building on the top.

The members of the Tony family immediately began to pray, but the Loen officers and soldiers on the airship had completely given up on escaping and were attacking the ground with the machine guns on the airship.

Industrial area of ​​Saint-Milon.

His Majesty Alexei is the top decision-maker for military operations.

……

Vasily took a look, closed the window, closed the curtains, and disappeared from the car.

But what he didn't expect was that the "creator" would join the war so quickly.

After these "meteorites" passed through the air bag, they hit the pod very accurately. The officers, soldiers and extraordinary people inside were basically killed immediately, and there was no time to rescue them.

He had a silver-black jewelry box in his hand. After opening the first layer, the eight airships disappeared immediately.

Vasily knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the losses from this air raid have been calculated."

This is the hinterland of the enemy country, and they only have 8 airships left. There is no way to escape the interception of the pursuers and the enemy's airships deployed in the sea. In order to make the airships lighter during this operation, they did not even bring much fuel for the return trip. .

According to the previous agreement, when Malwa saw Hobert leaving, he immediately ordered: "Pray!"

At this time, an intelligence officer came quickly and handed Vasily the statistics he had just prepared.

The extremely fast fireballs collided with each other and exploded in mid-air without hitting any targets.

Two seconds later, he appeared in a manor on the outskirts of Saint-Milon, where there was a landmark building: a tall stone tower.

Although there is no conclusive information yet, Vasily has already guessed that it should be the "creator"!

Last year, when the extraordinary war broke out between the Balk family and the "Rose School of Thought", Vasily got information about the "founder".

Vasily's destination was there. After being interrogated by the guards at the bottom of the tower, he quickly climbed the stairs. In the luxurious room at the top, he saw the middle-aged man wearing the traditional costume of the Fusac Empire.

After all, with that small amount of ammunition, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the Fusac Empire.

If any historian saw this middle-aged man, he would definitely sigh: He looks so much like the founder of the Fusac Empire, His Majesty Alexei.

Malwa and other commanders felt as if they were silent. In the blink of an eye, there were only 8 airships left in the airship formation.

……

Hobert, who appeared in the woods, instantly built the "Spiritual Wall" and entered the "State of Disorder". He picked up the "0-72" Doomsday Box on the armrest, opened the first floor, and faced the stars stirring in the pool. Project your own power.

At present, the fire has been brought under control and search and rescue operations have begun, but the people are still a little panicked. Many people on the street are looking blankly at the factory that was just bombed, and they were at a loss for a while.

Immediately, that majestic figure disappeared immediately!

Therefore, the officers and soldiers have completely given up and are ready to die in the next second.

When the war began, the emperor in the Saint Milon Palace was more like a "logistics minister", providing various logistical supplies to the front line so that the empire could operate normally.

In addition, faint cries can be heard, which are the sounds of people who have lost their loved ones in the bombing.

In fact, this was Alexei Einhorn, the first emperor of the Fusac Empire.

Alexie looked out the window at the city of Saint-Milon in the distance: "How many factories will stop production?"

"There are only two." Vasily Hui reported: "They are not very important factories, and it was a fire after the bombing that burned some important machinery and had to stop production. Production can be resumed in twenty days at most.

"Another five factories suffered varying degrees of damage, but the impact was not significant.

"According to current statistics, nine people were killed in this attack and dozens more were injured."

Alexie suddenly laughed: "One of Roen's airships must have more than a dozen officers and soldiers, right?"

Vasily replied: "Usually around 20 people."

Having said this, the two people also became quiet, because they also knew that as long as one bomb fell on Saint Milon, Loen's raid would be equivalent to winning the battle. Those of the Loen Air Force who died in the sky over Saint Milon Soldiers are also very valuable.

Just when Vasily was about to say something, Alexey suddenly stared at him: "There is a curtain call for this performance!"

Vasily was stunned for a moment, and then his spirituality seemed to sense something, and he looked at the midair on the side of Saint Milon.

I saw a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air. He was wearing a knight's uniform and looked handsome. He smiled and bowed slightly towards this side.

It’s really like an actor’s final call after a performance!

Intelligence chief Vasily recognized him immediately: "Hobert! Hobert, the new Duke of Loen!"

Then he looked at Alexie: "Your Majesty, he..."

"That's not his true form." Alexie said coldly.

At this time, several "Blazing Spears" were launched from the ground into the air. The moment they touched Hobert, there was a "crash" and he turned into a mirror.

Vasily clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "This guy is too arrogant! Your Majesty, this is a provocation!"

Alexie said, "I heard that during the extraordinary war that took place in the South Colson area, the Witch Cult lost an angel?"

Vasily took a deep breath before saying: "According to the information we have received, this is the case."

Alexie said "Hmm": "It seems that the angel has become a level 0 sealed object."

Then he said: "Contact Jonas and let him get in touch with the Balk family."

Jonas is a governor of the Fusac Empire in the southern continent, controlling the territory of General Antony.

The Balk family, from the beginning, cooperated with General Anthony and Jonas, and participated in the management of extraordinary affairs in part of General Anthony's territory.

Vasily also calmed down: "Want to test whether the 'creator' has been bribed by the Kingdom of Loen?"

"It must have been bribed. Didn't you report that this Duke named Hobert has obtained the privilege of establishing a country in the Southern Continent?" Alexie said: "What we want to test is, the 'founder' has no regard for such a country." Are you satisfied with the purchase?"

Whether as an emperor or a "conqueror", emotions such as anger are rarely produced. He had been very calm, not like Vasily trying to control his anger.

Alexie sighed: "We no longer have the strength to go to war with the forces of the 'Creator'.

"It's best to stabilize them before too much fierce conflict occurs."

……

Somewhere above the southern coast of the Sea of ​​​​Jianhai. The space in mid-air suddenly became illusory. Hobert stepped out of the spiritual world and "tampered" with gravity to temporarily suspend himself in mid-air.

Just now, he used the "curtain call", or provocation, of the "0-71" disaster porcelain doll to allow the potion to be digested to a great extent.

This made Hobert smile and said: "It seems that the first emperor of the Fusac Empire saw my performance."

Not only Alexie, but also a large number of Extraordinaries and ordinary people saw Hobert's arrogant provocation. Most of the Extraordinaries were very angry and thought that Hobert was too arrogant!

But most people are very scared and even fall into a certain degree of panic.

No matter what the reaction was, it was feedback that Hobert needed much.

Taking a deep breath, Hobert prayed to himself, entered the "Land of Disorder", put his power into the real world through his own stars, opened the "0-72" Doomsday Box, and released the eight airships.

These eight airships also suffered some damage, many cables were broken, and they seemed to be flying a little crookedly.

Hobert took back the power of the "Creator" and returned to the real world, using his "distortion" ability to return to the command room.

At this time, everyone in the command room was a little confused. They didn't feel anything like it just now. They were just stunned and came to an unfamiliar airspace!

Saint Milon is gone, the flames of the anti-aircraft machine gun are gone, the flames rising from the ground are gone, with a terrifying roar, the meteorite that wants to harvest life is gone!

Hobert drew a flat rectangle on his chest, and then made a vertical one: "Praise the Creator!"

Only then did Malwa and others come to their senses, and followed Hobert in making the gesture representing the "creator": "Praise the creator!"

In their view, their escape this time was all due to the divine power displayed by the "creator"!

But what they don't know is that the "creator" did not have such "power" ten days ago. He only gained such power after severely damaging the Aurora Society.

At this time, Locke, the officer of the airship, came over and asked, "Sir, may I ask what kind of god the 'creator' you just praised is?"

At this time, the officers and soldiers also realized that they were not dead!

For a moment, some of them cried with joy, some were very confused, and some, like Locke, had already understood that they had been saved by these demigods and the gods that Sequence 5 believed in.

This is also the first time they have experienced the power of gods!

So Hobert immediately transformed into a magic stick and began to preach: "The Lord woke up from chaos and saw that the order in the world is so bad. Morality is no longer the standard to measure whether a person is good or not, money is; violence is full of violence in this world. Every corner is whitewashed with gods and domination; vicious gangsters live a good life, while people who truly love life and are kind work hard all day long and have no time to enjoy life."

He continued: "Then the Lord sighed: 'Human beings in the Fifth Age are even more miserable than in the Second Age. At least in the Second Age, humans rarely killed each other or deceived each other.' So, the Lord planned to overthrow the existing order and give Establish a new order in the world!"

It was also the first time for Marwa and others to hear the purpose advocated by the "founder". They remembered it with their hearts and seemed very pious.

After Locker and other officers heard about this purpose and heard about the help given by some "founders" to the people, they naturally became casual believers in the "founders" and said they would go to Longtail Island to worship.

Hobert said: "My Lord has no church, only people.

"But you are welcome to visit Longwei Island and witness the changes that the 'creator's' ideas will bring to the world."

After talking with several officers for a while, and under the care of Hobert, Malva took the magic potion. The bombing of St. Miron was a very successful promotion ceremony, allowing Malva to complete his promotion very smoothly.

This made Hobert sigh: This way requires war to be promoted quickly and to digest the magic potion quickly.

……

"Excuse me! The Loen Air Force attacks Saint Milon!"

In the evening of that day, the streets and alleys of Loen were full of newsboys' "waiting" calls.

Passers-by stopped to buy newspapers one after another. Such a thick stack of newspapers was sold out in a short time.

Leonard, who had just gotten off the public carriage, also bought a newspaper. He said with emotion: "The Loen Air Force must have suffered heavy losses this time."

But after seeing the newspaper, he was completely stunned. He went to 24 airships and returned 8!

How did the military do it?

But after seeing the commander about this battle later, Leonard understood instantly.

According to the newspaper, there were three commanders of this air raid. The main planner was Duke Hobart, the overall commander was Lord Malwa, and the deputy commander was Major General Locker.

In Leonard's view, this chief planner is very crucial. It must be the "creator" who helped them escape from Saint Milon, otherwise it would only be 24 airships with no possibility of returning!

At this time, Leonard realized: The "creator" supports Luen?

……

At this time, a grand celebration dance was taking place in Thordrak Palace.

The three protagonists of this ball are Hobert, Marva and Locke.

Hobert is used to such entertainment, and he can give correct responses to nobles' compliments or inquiries.

Occasionally, he would show his modesty and say that he had no merit in this battle and that it all depended on the planning of the royal family and the military.

For a while, the atmosphere of the party was cheerful and full of praise for Hobert, who had made such a great contribution and was still very humble.

But in Hobert’s view, this is just “after-sales service”.

Not long after returning to the Loen Kingdom, Hobert received news from Todd that the Loen royal family agreed to support the 13 major and 22 minor technologies proposed by Hobert.

Initially, Hobert proposed support for 15 major items and 22 minor items.

In the previous negotiation between Hobert and Alice, one-third of the technical support was cut off even when Alice gave in.

At that time, Hobert thought that the price was quite good. After all, it was impossible to wipe out Rhun's hundreds of years of technology accumulation in one go.

But after the sneak attack, except for the ship and airship technology proposed by Hobert, all other technologies were given to him!

After thinking for a moment, Hobert understood that the Kingdom of Loen probably did not expect that the "founder" would take action in such a battle.

Theoretically speaking, gods would not care about the life and death of several demigod subordinates.

Not to mention gods, even William I had no intention of helping the officers on the 24 airships escape. It was not that they were cruel, but that they were at their level and did not care about this at all.

However, the reaction of the "creator" exceeded their expectations, and they also heard that Malva took the opportunity to be promoted to "War Bishop".

The key is that the nature of the "creator" is different after he takes action. First of all, this is a divine help, which is priceless in the first place.

In addition, this is tantamount to the "founder" taking a stand. In the view of William I, the "founder" is showing that he supports the Kingdom of Loen.

The last reason was the return of 8 airships, which made Roen's victory even more complete.

Although William I and others felt that it was a bit of a fuss for the "founder" to take action at the beginning of the war, the respect that should be given must still be given.

So the Loen royal family decided to pay for some more technology, but the condition was that Hobert would cooperate with the royal family in publicizing this victory, and the South Balam Principality would declare war on the colonial army of the Fusac Empire in the southern continent.

As the war rages on, Loen currently needs a large number of soldiers. They plan to buy the teleportation array blueprints from Hobert, build teleportation arrays between the north and south continents themselves, and mobilize soldiers from the colonies to join the war.

Then a force is needed, and the South Balam Principality is an excellent choice to hold back the Fusac Empire's colonial army in the southern part of the Southern Continent.

So after Hobert returned to Backlund, he first started a second round of negotiations with the royal family. Only after the conditions were negotiated did Hobert become so cooperative at the dance.

Otherwise, he would have returned to the South Balam Principality to deal with the affairs of the local kings and generals there. How could he have time to talk nonsense with these nobles?

As for Marva and Locke, they became Lords and Major Generals only after their return.

Before this, one of them had never been in contact with a noble, and the other was a major yesterday, so he felt a little embarrassed when he suddenly came to such an occasion.

During the entire ball, Hobert was basically socializing with the nobles.

Hobert has been so busy recently, and it was only at today's dance that Audrey could say a few words to Hobert: "I can only say that your battle is a miracle!"

Hobert noticed that Audrey's praise was a bit reluctant. He knew that Audrey didn't want to get involved in this war.

He smiled and said, "I will take you to visit the South Balam Principality in two days."

Audrey was sincerely happy and said, "Okay!"

She had long wanted to visit the South Balam Principality, but Hobert had never sent out an invitation, and it was not easy for her to ask directly.

Hobert stayed in Backlund for the next two days. After attending many interviews and social events, this round of publicity for the Loen royal family finally came to an end.

It must be said that this sneak attack greatly improved the morale of the frontline soldiers. It is said that both fronts with the Fusac Empire have been stabilized.

The newspaper also said that the Fusac Empire's raid momentum had been blocked and that it would enter a stalemate stage.

Hobert completed the "after-sales service" and used "travel" to take Audrey to Angelou, the capital of the Principality of South Balam, as agreed.

Nowadays, many colorful tents of various sizes have been set up outside the city of Angelou.

That is the residence of the earth kings and generals. Now the agents that Roen once supported in the South Balam Principality have arrived and are waiting for Duke Hobart's summons.

Audrey glanced at the city wall: "I didn't expect there to be such an exquisite city."

"You can just say it is small." Hobert smiled: "After a while, after the land reform in the principality is completed, these four walls will be knocked down and a lot of expansion work will be carried out."

Descending from the city wall, Hobert introduced Audrey to some customs and customs of the Southern Continent and strolled to the headquarters.

Conrad, Donna and others knew that Hobert was coming today and had been waiting here for a long time, preparing to hold a meeting with Hobert to discuss some matters.

They were all stunned when they saw Audrey next to Hobert. There were many witches in Angelou City at this time, but compared to Audrey, they were still a little inferior.

The key is that Audrey is holding Hobert's arm, and the two of them look very close.

It wasn't until Donna called "sister-in-law" naturally that everyone realized what was going on.

Hobert nodded with satisfaction: Donna must add a chicken drumstick to dinner!
