I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

This will also greatly alleviate the defensive pressure on Surya and allow more forces to be concentrated on the front line of defense for auxiliary defense.

The Vatican would not sit there and wait for death. Neither the Goddess of Light nor the royal family and other nobles would allow themselves to lose power like this, so they began their final frenzy within a few months of the alliance organizing the offensive.

Does the Holy See still have the resources to resist?

The answer is yes. The Holy See still has at least two elite troops, the kind that are worthy of their reputation but whose combat effectiveness remains to be verified.

One is the Royal Guards who would surround the capital and would never be deployed unless the country was in danger of extinction. They number about 20,000 and are about the same level as the capital garrison of the Alliance's capital, Sera.

The other is the Vatican’s own trump card, the Inquisition.

Because the goddess really exists, the power of the Inquisition in this world is terrifyingly great, and as extreme fanatics, they are all nourished by the power of the Goddess of Light. The scale of the Inquisition is only about 8 people, and the weakest is at level . The highest chief judge has the same status as the goddess who has fallen in realm, and is also a demigod.

Not only do they have independent and free powers of trial and punishment, they also have their own armed forces to assist in arrests and interrogations, and even to directly use force to suppress.

These two troops are basically the last trump cards of a country and the church. Whether it is equipment, personnel quality, or loyalty, they are the final product of selecting the best from the best.

At the same time, there are some powerful people from other races hiding in the dark, and they will not just sit there and watch the Alliance destroy the Vatican and unify the region.

Medea would naturally not place all her hopes on a large-scale army. Otherwise, even if she could eventually conquer the city, the estimated casualties would not be something she was willing to bear.

In addition to the strong men guarding the various continents and other front-line troops, several great witches including those in the capital were sent by Medea.

Both ordinary troops and mid-to-high-end combat forces have absolute advantages.

At the same time, she also used the front-line air force to distribute a large number of letters of persuasion to surrender in the royal capital, in order to shake the morale of the military and civilians in the royal capital.

Seriously, this was her last act of mercy.

After all...she never thought of going head-to-head with a country's dying counterattack, and she would never do anything like letting someone bite her off.

Still the old way

The cannon goes up and blasts his mother!

Chapter 266 Birthday Offensive

"Ichamain's persuasion to surrender was not very effective. According to insider observations, the vast majority of the residents of the capital are extremely hostile to the Seris Alliance..."

Anna's tone was filled with worry. The population of Ichamain was not small. In fact, due to the continuous defeat of the Holy See in the war, a large number of local wealthy businessmen and nobles gathered in the royal capital to seek refuge.

Ichamain, which used to be the capital, had a population of over two million. A conservative estimate is that the population is now at least four million.

With so many people gathered together and more than half of them are fanatics, to be honest, it is not an easy task for anyone to chew on this bone.

Moreover, the royal capital represents the location of the church's headquarters. The headquarters cathedral gathers a vast amount of faith power, with the Goddess of Light herself in charge, and the assistance of two demigods and a large number of saints.

With this configuration, unless the alliance sends out all its high-end combat forces for an all-out attack, she will not be able to hold out for more than half a month.

And if we launch a strong attack regardless of the cost, the result will be fighting street battles with millions of people... Just think about how difficult it will be for the Northern Coalition who are still fighting against hundreds of thousands of people from the Ernesto Kingdom with a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

And holding back one of the Alliance's armies in the north for more than half a month was not good news for the rapidly changing western battlefield.

After all, the established strategy of the Seris Alliance is to block the key nodes in the west, thereby buying enough time to resolve the Holy See in the north and complete the unification of the north to connect Suria and Ernesto.

In this way, without any worries in the rear, they can advance from the north to the northwest into the territory of the Brittian Empire to unite with the Western Orc Liberation Front to attack on two fronts, and advance to the southwest to quickly defeat the two kingdoms and destroy the Allied Forces' forward positions.

In this way, the mainland of the subcontinent will be completely safe.

As the alliance in the rear area, they can continuously and continuously arm large numbers of allied friendly forces. The war alliance between the two sides will be invincible. The worst that can happen is peace talks, and there is no possibility of losing.

Listening to Anna's report, Medea sneered, "These people are the privileged class who have fled to the capital from all over the Vatican to avoid us, right?"

"never mind."

Medea stamped the battle plan and approved the application of the commander-in-chief of the Holy See Army: "Whether it is or not, from the moment they don't surrender, they are."

"Perhaps they still don't know what war means, so let's go and tell them what war is, what fear is, and what death is!"

December 9th

The tense and depressing atmosphere in the capital of Izamain, which had been under siege by the army for days, was slightly relieved by the streets and houses decorated with lights.

This day was the birthday of the Goddess of Light, that is, her birth anniversary. Even though the external environment was tense, the Holy See still held a grand celebration for her. People who hurriedly came and went in the palace and the Holy See also had rare smiles on their faces.

In fact, if we think optimistically, with the goddess by their side, they just need to survive this most difficult moment and wait for the Allied forces to make a breakthrough on the Western Front. Then the siege of the Union will naturally fall apart, and they can then counterattack the Union Army.

The streets were crowded with people, and many residents of the royal capital were singing and dancing to bless the goddess, and everyone was in a state of jubilation and joy.

But on such a festive day, Medea would naturally give the goddess of light a birthday gift~

After a six-hour long flight, 1400 flying fortresses that took off from the Alliance's homeland had already reached the territory of the Holy See, and together with more than 6 medium bombers stationed there, they headed towards the capital of Ichamain.

Suddenly, dozens of fireworks flew high into the sky over Ichamain, which had just resumed its bustle after the ban was lifted, exploding into brilliant fireworks.

Countless people looked up at the sky, feeling both disgusted and fond of this newfangled gadget they bought from the Alliance merchants. What they disliked was that it was a gadget sold by the Alliance, and every purchase was equivalent to buying two more bullets for the Alliance soldiers to shoot at them.

I like it because it is really beautiful. Through special arrangements and combinations, the large fireworks matrix can be arranged to form simple blessings.

High-level magicians can also produce such effects and movements, but the noble wizards are unwilling to be treated like monkeys by the untouchables, so the potential consumer market for fireworks in the magic continent is not small.

While everyone was enjoying the fireworks, no one noticed that a bucket of fireworks on the roof had not emitted any fire, as if it was broken.

And the kind people who generously held the fireworks show for free have long disappeared.

The bucket of fireworks that didn't explode was actually still burning, but its way of burning was different from its colleagues around it.

When fireworks explode, they disturb the elements of the surrounding space and create fluctuations, and this bucket is actually a large wireless signal transmitter.

Among the bomber formation flying high in the sky, there was a Flying Fortress that had been modified for electronic functions. The receiving device in the round transparent cover under the nose of the aircraft received the signal.

Under its guidance, the fleet began to slowly descend in altitude, from the clouds at an altitude of 5000 meters to an airspace of about meters.

At this time, the invisible shield is released and switched to the protective shield state.

It was not until then that a magician with sharp eyes and ears noticed something was wrong. He cast a spell, looked towards the sky, and saw the approaching dark cloud at a glance.

"Enemy attack! In the sky!!!"

The people who were celebrating the Goddess Festival in the capital of Ichamain suddenly became panicked. The entire street was in chaos. The magic anti-aircraft guns built in various places in the capital continuously fired various long-range spells into the sky.

At the same time, several saints and demigods also took action, trying to cut off the strong dangerous aura coming from this group of giant steel birds.

However, as soon as their attack showed its terrifying momentum, it was disrupted and destroyed by another external force, and disappeared into thin air again.

The assault alliance did not want to do this, because there were too many large-scale amplification magic arrays that had been integrated inside the Vatican's capital for thousands of years, and the power of faith from the Vatican's goddess served as an energy supplement.

It is easy to suffer losses by attacking head-on, but just because the top forces in the alliance don't want to attack doesn't mean they are at a disadvantage. It is still possible for two or three of them to catch one and cause trouble, preventing the opponent from casting magic.

Just as the semi-saints of both sides were fighting in secret, a large army of flying fortresses had already flown over Ichamain.

Relying on the coordinate position provided by the signal generator as the center, the Allied Air Force has ample time to calculate various coefficients for bombing in advance.

After arriving at the drop point, the belly of the bomber opened and a series of dense napalm bombs were thrown out, and the same happened in other airspace.

The number of bombs dropped was so large that it was like a swarm of giant locusts falling from the sky, covering the entire sky of the royal capital.

The standard load capacity of a Flying Fortress is 16 tons, and the total amount of incendiary bombs dropped by this batch of bombers exceeded tons.

There is no doubt that everyone in the Vatican will be full of enthusiasm today.

Asking for leave (changing computer)

No disease, no disaster

Just today I was tinkering with assembling the machine, and finally I turned it on and found that four of the seven fans were installed the wrong way...

Later, I couldn't figure out how to make the boot disk and I felt itchy like a cat scratching.

Let me finish it tonight and then update normally.

Just like before, I just have some free time, not really less updates. I will make up for the missed updates within one day (I will also make up for the update time in the underworld!)

Chapter 267 Mom, save me!!!

As the atmosphere of the celebration was about to reach its peak in the evening, the sharp air raid sirens and the overwhelming rain of bombs from bombers formed a new celebration song.

Thousands of tons of incendiary bombs from the vanguard fleet fell simultaneously on the outskirts of the royal capital. A group of people were still celebrating the goddess' birthday, but before they could react, they were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

The husband watched his wife being burned to death, and the mother holding her child was burned into walking torches. The air was filled with the pungent smell of chemical gases, the aroma of roasted meat, and the stench of burnt fat.

The surging sea of ​​fire rolled up huge waves, and the fiery red sky set off the houses and streets that were burned into ruins. The originally dim sky became as bright as day, and the large Allied Army forces ten kilometers away could clearly see the flames rising into the sky.

Although the buildings in the royal capital are generally more grand and luxurious, they have not deviated from the foundation of traditional wooden and stone houses.

After all, as long as one has enough wealth and status, it is not difficult to build a building with wood and stone that is comparable to the height and strength of reinforced concrete.

However, wooden buildings need to be protected from corrosion and insects, and most of the various preservatives used do not cause fires, but may instead fuel the fire.

In the past, there was magic that could solve this hidden danger at any time, but even magic would pale in comparison to napalm bombs.

The extremely high temperature and the accumulated heat in the area caused by the burning time will drive away all other elements, and the toxic air will also repel and expel anyone who wants to get close.

Some people hid in enclosed spaces in an attempt to avoid the attack of incendiary bombs, but the oxygen and high-temperature steam were quickly burned out, and their trachea and lungs had to endure the internal steaming of boiling hot air with every breath, which would only make their death more painful.

All those who had managed to escape the first wave of incendiary bombs, whether they were magicians, soldiers, nobles or civilians, ran madly towards the royal palace in the center of the capital.

At least 300 bombers were deployed in the four corners of the capital of Ichamain to carry out low- and medium-altitude coverage bombing. The city's ring river and the waterways throughout the capital were slowly boiling under the high temperature of the napalm that continuously flowed into the river.

The survivors who hid in the water to cool down and survive looked in despair at the burning gelatinous napalm on the sea surface that was getting closer and closer to them with the temperature of the river water rising all the way.

There were a lot of burning charcoal-like corpses piled up on the coast, the pile was two meters high, and they were all civilians who were preparing to jump into the water to survive.

They are both unfortunate and lucky.

Unfortunately, they did not succeed in jumping into the river to live for a few more minutes. Fortunately, they died early and were freed from suffering without having to continue to endure this endless purgatory.

The Alliance Military Headquarters adopts a front-line command delegation system, where the top brass is only responsible for proposing general strategic goals and general plans and providing support for weapons, supplies and intelligence. The specific combat execution plan is chosen by the local commander.

In other words, the commander finalized the large-scale bombing plan for Itzamain, and Mitia approved the plan, but the two were unclear about how the bombing would be carried out and to what extent.

The Holy See had very bad luck. The commander in charge of this air strike, Air Force Major General Nigel Esther, happened to be a war orphan from the former Kingdom of Palia.

As the descendant of someone who had been betrayed by the Vatican's allied forces, he and the Vatican were filled with hatred, and the specific combat plan proposals this time were all completed under his pen.

His goals and ideas were very clear, and he said directly at the meeting: "If the Alliance loses the war, I fully believe that I will be tried for the crimes I committed during the war."

"But no matter what the situation is, even if it happens again, I will not regret the choice I made today!"

The specific tactic is to drop incendiary bombs from all around the outside to form a burning circle, and use the wind and fire to drive everyone into the inner circle of the royal capital.

The subsequent main fleet threw all the remaining napalm bombs towards the center of the royal capital, trying to maximize the damage caused by this air strike.
