Age of Arcane

Emerald Court.

Under the active coordination of Emerald Lake and the Golden Shield Empire envoys, the first batch of support materials from the Golden Shield Empire arrived at Emerald Port and were immediately and properly disposed of.The royal court patrols set up multiple distribution points on the city roads, and the refugees who escaped from the forest lined up to receive their daily necessities.

Blankets, clothes, coal stoves, pots, buckets...

Some coals and oats, potatoes, dehydrated vegetables.

Kids get extra cheese and canned meats.

The refugees waiting to receive the supplies anxiously waited for the distribution while carefully looking at the sky and surroundings.

The sky is a chaotic battlefield.The headhunters relied on a large number of flying mantises to seize the air superiority, and the hunters who did not fear death frequently carried out suicide attacks on flying mantises. They attacked inwards from the outer edge of the city in groups. Next, send some hunters into the city.

The Emerald King's Court erected simple magic towers and arrow towers on tall buildings in the city, and used magic, bows and arrows, and muskets to eliminate the intruding hunters.In addition, a part of the Royal Patrol is set as an urban mobile force, using eagle eyes and hounds to search for hunters who slip through the net.

Magic, arrows, and bullets interweave into a network in the air, and hunters and praying mantises rain down.

But even with such a tight defense, some residents still died at the hands of the invading hunters, especially those extraordinarily powerful hunters, and the royal court patrols would pay a considerable loss if they wanted to eliminate them.

Hunger caused refugees to leave the shelter at risk. They just wanted to get something as soon as possible and go back to hide.

During this period, the royal court patrols also sent more soldiers to guard the high places to cover the distribution of supplies.Owls flew low, hounds patrolled every corner of the quiet streets and alleys, and griffins and Pegasus riders tried their best to protect the sky above the ports and important places in the city.

Every elf is working hard, and many humans and residents of other races also joined in the defense of the Emerald King Court.

The arrival of aid supplies from the Golden Shield Empire brought hope of survival to them who were already in despair.

Outside the city, the headhunters had already completed the encirclement of the Emerald Royal Court from the land.

The fire ordered by King Sanye against all opinions bought the most precious time for the forest elves.The elf mages took advantage of the stolen time to lay out a wall of thorns outside the city, and built hundreds of small fortresses.

It was these defensive facilities that allowed the forest elves to use the open land created by the fire to withstand the initial attack of the headhunters.Although more and more reinforcements from the headhunters came later, the city defense of the Emerald King's Court became more and more perfect.

Now all the factories of the Emerald Royal Court have been transferred to wartime management, and a large number of alchemy puppets are assembled and put into the battlefield, which greatly relieves the pressure on the patrols.

The ships seized at the beginning of the war are continuously rescuing the forest elves from the coast and returning to the Emerald King's Court.The adult elves were recruited, and the patrol troops were training in no time.

The headhunters missed the best opportunity to attack the Emerald Court.

As the commander in charge of the headhunters' attack on the Emerald King's Court, the hunting king Nierteye was very angry.

In an empty shell of hunters on the front line, Nierteye discussed with several other hunter kings how to attack the Emerald Court.The hunting king includes two elves, a unicorn and a forest anaconda, and they are all in awe of the hunting angel Niertje who has regained the queen's favor.

Nierteye asked the forest boa: "Can't the tunnel leading into the royal court be opened?"

The forest anaconda curled up and replied, "Forest elves have very precise underground detection methods. Once the tunnel we dug is discovered, it will be attacked by earthquake spells. Many of my subordinates died, but the queen You don’t want to give birth to new subordinates with me.”

The forest anaconda is full of resentment, and since the queen has a unicorn, she seldom touches herself.Later, with an angel, he drove himself out of the nest.Now that so many of his subordinates have died but can't be replenished, they have no status.

Nierteye said proudly: "Facing the Jade King's Court, a strong city with sufficient military resources and defense system, your hunters who are not inferior in strength... It is a waste to serve as cannon fodder, and it is useless to serve as the main force.

Only my hunting angels are qualified to fight for Her Majesty the Queen!
Cultivating hunting angels is relatively costly to His Majesty, but fortunately I serve His Majesty day and night, and a new batch of hunting angels has been bred.This time I brought them all here, and I will surely conquer the Emerald King Court and occupy the entire Emerald Forest for Your Majesty. "

Nierteye didn't know why the body of the elf Qingkong that he personally sent to the queen disappeared suddenly, but it was an indisputable fact that he had regained the favor of the queen.In the past few days, I have been serving the queen to reproduce every day, and I am really jealous of other hunting kings.

At this moment, Niltye's expression almost said "You are all rubbish!"

Nierteye's pride caused dissatisfaction among the other hunting kings, but none of them dared to show it.

A hunting king elf said at this time: "King Niltyer... After our aerial reconnaissance, we found that a fleet of the Golden Shield Empire has arrived at Emerald Port. The fleet brought a lot of supplies, which greatly improved the forest elves. combat effectiveness and morale.

If we don't launch a decisive attack as soon as possible, the Emerald King's Court will become more and more difficult to fight. "

Nierteye finally brought his mind back to the war.

"Don't tell me, I also know that the assistance of the Golden Shield Empire has reached the Emerald King's Court, which is why I rushed here from the Queen's lair." Nierteye waved his hand, and the magic showed the map of the Emerald King's Court.There are five attack points surrounding the Emerald King's Court. The frontal attack group carries the angel standard, and the other four attack groups from left to right are elves, elves, unicorns, and forest anacondas.Nierteye pointedly said: "After the meeting is over, you immediately take your subordinates to the attack position, where the hunter army assigned to you has already assembled. Tomorrow morning, you will attack the emerald from four directions. Wang Ting's defense line launches a full-scale attack, trying to attract the defensive force to your side as much as possible.

At noon... I will lead the hunting angels to break through the depths of the Emerald King's Court under the cover of the flying mantis.As long as the hunting angel rushes through the frontal defense, it will be our hunting ground after entering the city.

Your task is to contain the main force of the Emerald Royal Court and prevent them from turning around to rescue the city.

Do you understand? "

The four hunting kings all stared wide-eyed.

I understand, I understand very well!
Isn't it just that we are going to die, do you want to claim credit from Her Majesty the Queen?

But so what?
He is now the king of pets!
However, the forest anaconda couldn't help complaining for himself: "King Niltyer, why is my attack zone next to the Emerald Magic Academy? If I attack the Emerald King Court with all my strength, the Emerald Magic Academy can attack my side."

"You, a low-level creature who has just gained a little intelligence and doesn't even have a name, are you qualified to question my command?" Nierteye stared at the forest anaconda, and said angrily, "Put you in any direction. The battle situation brings positive improvement, only here is the most suitable for you. Watch out for Emerald Magic Academy, don't let it mess me up in the decisive battle, this is the only value you have left in this war!"

"Yes, yes, I follow your order, King Niltyer." The forest boa was frightened and shrank its neck, not daring to make any more complaints.

Nierteye glanced at the forest boa contemptuously, and then looked at the other hunting kings with the same look: "Do you have any objections?"

"No, King Niltyer."

……

On the second day, Emerald Harbor Wharf.

Rossetti Owen was originally the garrison officer of the Caltrop Armor Factory of the Crusaders, and was later poached by Luke to Rage City to serve as the war machine commander of the Special Forces of the Secret Service.When the Raging City Armored Assault Division was formed, the war machine special operations team "Iron Heart" headed by Owen was established.

During the entire Northern War, Owen performed extremely well, fully displaying his talent in driving war machines. The dominance of the "Iron Heart Squad" on the battlefield also shows Owen's side as an excellent war machine commander.

The Northern War had a temporary truce, and the Raging City Armored Assault Division returned to Raging City to rest.Owen was immediately entrusted by Luke with the important task of forming the Assault Division's Magic Titan Squadron on the basis of the "Iron Heart Squad".

However, since the research and development of the Magic Titan has not yet ended, they can only use the Steam Titan to make the transition.

Owen also serves as the instructor of the Royal First Magical Legion and the Royal Second Magical Legion Steam Titans Lesson Brigade, and is the commander of the Steam Titans that supported the Emerald Royal Court this time.

The task of the Steam Titans is to protect the ships of the Golden Shield Empire entering Emerald Port, and guard the supplies that have not been handed over to the forest elves.

From the moment these tall steam titans boarded the emerald port dock, they were often pointed at by all parties.

Mighty is absolute mighty.

When the five-meter-high steel machinery stood there, it felt a strong sense of oppression.Not to mention the sound of walking, as well as the vibration brought to the ground.

As for the fighting power of this big guy, it was doubted by many elf patrols.

Anyone who has seen a war machine can tell that this is a fully enclosed war machine.Although the thickened armor provides reliable protection for the driver, it is a great burden on the entire power system.

If it can't run in war, it is a living coffin, and the enemy has plenty of ways to kill the driver behind the armor.

In the eyes of the elves, a war machine is not a flexible weapon, let alone something that increases in height and thickness.

Appreciation is greater than actual combat.

This is the elves' first impression of Steam Titan.

Rossetti Owen did not let his subordinates perform maneuvers in order to show their strength to the elves.Once such a heavy big guy runs, it will cause too much damage to the ground. If the entire dock is bumped, it will affect the speed of subsequent material and personnel delivery.

The members of the Steam Titans stayed firmly at the pier, trying not to move around as much as possible, watching the battle in the sky in their spare time after work.

The flying mantises of the headhunters flew over like clouds, and the firepower network woven by magic, arrows and bullets on the ground harvested layer by layer.Sometimes the royal court patrols will release a large group of alchemy flying objects to charge the formation of the flying mantis.If a headhunter approaches the pier, the pegasus and griffin guarding the pier will immediately take off to intercept them under the cover of ground fire.

In general, it is difficult for headhunters to threaten ports.

Occasionally, lucky ones fly over, or some sneaky hunters come close to do damage, and they will be quickly wiped out by the royal patrols guarding here.

Owen came to Emerald Port for four days and only killed one headhunter.It was a stalker who thought it had escaped the eagle eyes and hounds of the patrols, but was invisible to the steam titan's doppel magic vision.

That poor guy sneaked up to the steam titan that Owen was driving, and then he was cut into two by Owen, and then kicked into the sea.

I don't know if I can meet another unlucky person today.

Owen drove the steam titan to stand in front of a docked cargo ship, looking up at the sky not far away.

The headhunters attacked very fiercely today, and they should have been supplemented by troops.

It can be clearly seen from the ground that a flying mantis not only rides a hunter on its back, but also hangs three or four hunters under its claws.Such a heavy load allows the Flying Mantis to fly very low, and also increases the chances of survival of the falling hunter.

A group of flying mantises was wiped out, and another group flew over like a dark cloud cover.

The hunters are not afraid of death or loss, rushing forward like a tide.Gradually, the mana reserves, arrows, and ammunition of the defenders were exhausted, and the attack of the headhunters approached the city more and more.

The number of hunters appearing near the port increased rapidly, and the royal court patrols guarding the port went around to make amends.

Alarms sounded in the city, and then there were more and more directions in which the alarms sounded.

Thick smoke from the fire rose from all directions, as if the Emerald Court had fallen.

"Commander Owen!" The experimental communicator sent the voice of his subordinates to Owen's cockpit: "It looks bad inside the Emerald King's Court, shall we attack to support the Royal Court patrol?"

Owen collected as much external information as possible through the steam titan's sensory system, and at the same time replied to his subordinates: "We know too little about the internal situation of the Emerald Court, and the duty given by Mrs. Mihir is to guard the ships of the empire. .If the Emerald King's Court is really breached by the headhunters, we must meet Mrs. Mihir's envoy and our crew to leave safely.

As soldiers of the Empire, we have not received the notification from the Empire to participate in the war, so do not participate in wars that do not belong to us.

Hold your position and protect our crew aboard from... Soldier! "

"Yes, Captain Owen!"

The crew of the Golden Shield Empire ran to their respective ships, and some ships were leaving the docks and heading out of the port area.

Owen looked into the distance through the eyes of the steam titan, and he saw a lot with a high vision.He saw hunters falling from the sky attacking the port, and elven patrols battling them.Many forest elves who met but never spoke died just like that, with their heads chopped off and tied around the waist by the hunters.

I really want to kill it!
In the silent communication channel, Owen could feel the voice of everyone wanting to fight.

"Colonel Rossetti Owen, this is the super-heavy steam airship 'Kirov', please reply!"

"Kirov" super heavy steam airship!

Owen replied immediately: "I'm Colonel Rossetti Owen, is Mr. Chief Assistant here?"

Meteor's voice appeared on the communication channel: "Owen, I saw that the Emerald King's Court is being violently attacked, and some headhunters have invaded the city. What's the situation with you?"

"Hello, Master Chief Assistant!" Owen turned his head and saw a steam airship spouting white smoke coming towards the Emerald King's Court at full speed. He immediately reported to Luke happily: "The Steam Titans of Raging City are carrying out missions to protect the empire." The task of evacuating the ship from the port area. The training regiment has a total of 625 Steam Titans, of which 150 are stationed on the ship, 32 are under repair, and all 443 Steam Titans are on guard at the dock."

"Let the steam titan stationed on the ship go ashore to take over the defense, and you immediately lead the steam titan training group to support in the direction of 20 degrees east by south, advancing 300 meters in front and 600 meters behind. I saw angels hunting over there If the attackers show up, shoot them back and the Kirov will provide you with air cover."

"Follow the order, Master Shoufu." Owen was very happy to receive the order to attack.Looking at the sky again, the Kirov airship came very fast, and the shark pattern on the bow was clearly visible.Owen switched to the group command channel: "Rage City Steam Titans Training Group obey orders!"

"Yes! Captain Rossetti Owen!"

"Under the order of the chief minister of the empire, Lord Meteorite! The steam Titan training group of Raging City immediately entered the emerald royal court to guard the battle. The personnel on the ship disembarked to take over the defense, and other combat personnel followed me into the city to join the battle!

Raging City Steam Titans Lesson Group...

attack! "

Owen's steam titan drew his saber from behind, and all the steam titans on the shore drew their sabers together.The power of the steam engine was increased and white smoke was sprayed outward, the mechanical legs exerted force to smash the stone bricks under their feet, and the steam titans ran together.They smashed open the cargo boxes blocking the front, knocked down the high wall blocking the front, and rushed into the city stepping on the trembling ground.
