Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 736 Medici’s epoch-making battle

Bayam, inside the Church of the Waves.

Alger, wearing a robe embroidered with storm symbols, walked up from the ground with heavy steps. He nodded to the "Punishers" and priests waiting on both sides and said: "The seal returned to normal in time.

"You can put back the items under your supervision."

"Yes, Sir Wilson." The "Punisher" and the priests and bishops all breathed a sigh of relief, clenched their right fist and hit the left chest.

Alger didn't say much, but responded to them with the same courtesy.

After returning all the way to his room, he found a seat and sat down: "A fool who does not belong to this era..."

Alger prayed to Mr. Fool almost silently, expressing his intention to leave the Church of Storms.

The claim that the seal returned to normal in time could only deceive lower-level church members, but could not be deceived by the senior deacons who came to investigate the matter later, let alone the Pope and the "Lord of the Storm".

After a few seconds, Alger saw the familiar boundless gray fog and heard Mr. Fool's response: "Okay.

This is a huge loophole in the Atlantis army, so the countries in the northern continent joined forces to form this airship force.

They didn't know why, but the fighting suddenly became fierce a few days ago, and the 10-strong Atlantean army on the western front suddenly began to launch an offensive.

These Extraordinaries are not only Extraordinaries serving the Kingdom of Parth, most of them are Extraordinaries transferred from the Northern Continent.

After seeing the airships filling the sky, Hailey's mouth gradually turned upward, and a smile crept onto his face.

Looking at the Atlantis Army again, his smile slowly disappeared again. The ordinary soldiers of the Atlantis Army did not show any panic!

So what is surprising is that a large number of Extraordinaries have gathered here!
The "local" Extraordinaries in the Kingdom of Parth are mainly the Trunsoest Family, the Tamara Family and the Witch Sect.

But there are many extraordinary people hidden among the nobles in various countries, or the nobles themselves are extraordinary people.

Call ~
Alger let out a long breath, stood up, and took off his storm robe.

At this time, the main force of the Parth Army had been transferred eastward. Although there were 10 people left here, the weapons and equipment were far behind those of the Atlantis Army.

This made him seriously doubt that it was Medici who used his power to stabilize the situation.

"Go to Poseidon Church."

After the bombardment, everyone heard that the position on the opposite side was a little messy. The soldiers came out of the bomb hole and saw that the Atlantis Army was setting up strange "black spots" one after another.

Finally, Alger withdrew his gaze, rode the strong wind, and flew out of the church through the open window.

In the previous world wars, these nobles blamed each other and were unwilling to contribute, but it is different now. The Kingdom of Atlantis obviously wants to eliminate the noble class. They have changed from watching on the sidelines to now contributing as much as they can!

He folded the robe neatly and looked at it carefully back and forth for a few seconds.

……

In terms of the number of artillery pieces alone, the defenders on the Western Front may not have one-third of the artillery of the Atlantis Army, and in terms of artillery shells, it is even less comparable.

Some soldiers with good eyesight have already recognized that it is an airship! Thousands of airships!
This is the power that the Parth Army has always hidden, and it is also the surprise force they intend to use to turn the tide of the war.

The only thing they needed to prevent was an attack on the airship by the Atlantis Army's Extraordinaries, so along with thousands of airships came a corps of Extraordinaries from the Kingdom of Parth.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Parth watched the sun rise little by little with some despair, because along with the sunshine came the artillery fire of the Atlantean army!
It was the same today. The crisp sound of artillery in the distance came as expected, as the grassroots commanders shouted: "Anti-artillery! Anti-artillery!"

They tried to fight back at first, but the Atlantis army shelled them for twenty minutes every hour. The defenders only fought back for two days, and the shells were almost exhausted.

Some people suggested that they should retreat temporarily and investigate thoroughly before launching an attack.

This was completely beyond their expectations and even felt a little weird!

According to intelligence, although the Kingdom of Atlantis has acquired airship technology and built an airship base, the time it took to acquire the technology was too short. Currently, only one or two hundred airships have been produced, and they are still used by Atlantis. The Sri Lankan government has used it for civilian purposes!

At this time, Hailey, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front garrison at the mountaintop headquarters, could see clearly with a telescope that the "black spots" were some equipment covered with black raincloth, but he could not tell what specific equipment they were.

In the early morning, there is a mountainous area on the west side of the southern continent.

Now, this large-scale extraordinary corps was deployed in full force, as if ready for a decisive battle.

Therefore, the huge airship force did not use extraordinary power to accelerate forward, but used their maximum speed to arrive at the battlefield bit by bit.

If the enemy's angels intervene, the angels of the Parth Kingdom will also take action, not hesitate to let the angel war break out in advance.

At that time, the Extraordinaries on the side of the Paz Army can calmly take advantage of the enemy's attack on the airship to attack the Extraordinaries on the Atlantis Army, thereby gaining an advantage at the beginning of the war.

In the predictions of the Parth Army, it was originally thought that after realizing their shortcomings, the Atlantis Army would use the Extraordinary to launch an attack while still far away from their position in an airship.

But the strange thing is that the Atlantis army only bombarded but did not conduct any form of charge!
This time the bombardment lasted twenty minutes as usual.

Everyone got into the anti-gun holes one after another, and the shells immediately fell on the position like raindrops.

As a large number of airships got closer and closer, the expected extraordinary battle did not break out.

He did not become nervous because according to the battle plan, today they would launch a surprise attack on the enemy forces on the Western Front.

In the previous world wars, the extraordinary people in the military of various countries suffered a lot of losses. It has only taken more than half a year now, and of course they have not recovered their strength.

But what surprised the top leaders of the Paz Army was that the Atlantis Army had no intention of retreating and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

The soldiers held their heads one by one and hid in the narrow cave, praying that the shelling would end soon.

Looking at it, Hailey saw a familiar figure with red hair. He couldn't help but smile: "MI9's analysis is correct. Medici has indeed come to the Western Front."

At this moment, a soldier pointed into the distance and exclaimed. More and more people's eyes were drawn to it. Dark things like a flock of birds appeared in the northern sky.

In the next few days, I could only hide in the trenches and be bombed by the Atlantis army.

However, more people felt that the airship's surprise attack was only effective once, and they could not give up just yet.

Before the top leaders of the Parth Army had made a final decision, the airships in the sky had already crossed the Parth Army's position and were making final preparations for bombing. Their target was the artillery position of the Atlantis Army.

As far as the eye can see, there is not even a single anti-aircraft machine gun on the Atlantis army's position. The only thing that needs to be defended now is the attack of the enemy's Extraordinary.

At this time, the Atlantis army position finally responded. Medici gave an order, and the gunners quickly pulled down the "black rain cloth" from before, revealing the equipment underneath.

Hailey on the opposite side immediately used a telescope to study it carefully. It was an artillery piece with a small diameter!
But unlike ordinary artillery, its shooting angle is wider and can be adjusted to an angle of more than 45 degrees.

Hailey immediately realized that this should be a new weapon of the Atlantis army, which gave him a bad premonition.

But thinking about the slow speed of the artillery fire and the probability of missing the target, he relaxed a little.

According to Hailey's experience, this kind of cannon will definitely cause considerable losses to the airship, but it will still not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

But at the next moment, Hailey saw an unforgettable scene. He saw all the "small-caliber artillery" shooting into the air together.

Bang bang bang bang bang~
The fire from the muzzle was regular, flickering unhurriedly, and it turned out to be a continuous fire!
Hailey suddenly felt his scalp numb. As a senior officer, of course he had heard of the concept of machine guns, but at the same time he also heard that this weapon was still under development. Why did the Kingdom of Atlantis already have related technology? ?
The research institute on Longtail Island!
Hailey immediately thought of the research and development institution of the Kingdom of Atlantis!
Looking at the airship formation again, one or two cannonballs can destroy an airship.

No matter how small the cannonball is, it is still a cannonball. It can blow a big hole in the cab of the airship. There is a high probability that it can detonate the bomb on the airship. Even if the bomb cannot be detonated, the airship can still lose control.

And if the shell blows up the air bag, it will be a disaster! A large number of airbags in the airship will be blown up and ignited, and then the airship will crash immediately.

Bang bang bang bang bang~
The Atlantis Army's artillery fire continued uninterrupted, and all the Paz Army soldiers were stunned, watching the airship they had placed high hopes on explode in the air, turned into a fireball, and slowly fell.

Or the air bag was blown up and it fell rapidly.

The enemy's artillery was a weapon they had never seen before, and the astonishing "bang bang" sound was like the death knell sounded by the god of death.

Some airships immediately began to turn around, but this disrupted the formation. Many airships collided in the panic, and fell faster as a result.

At this time, the Extraordinaries protecting the airship from the Paz Army reacted and immediately rushed to the artillery position of the Atlantis Army, hoping to end the massacre.

Yes, it was a total massacre!

But what greeted them was a firepower network composed of heavy machine guns!

You must know that most Sequence 5s do not dare to face the firepower of heavy machine guns. Some "low-sequence" Extraordinaries who were accidentally shot were still torn to pieces by large and fast heavy machine bullets.

However, Extraordinaries above Sequence 7 can use their own abilities to effectively avoid being hit by bullets, but this also greatly affects their speed.

On the side of the Atlantis army, the Extraordinary stood beside the heavy machine gun, waiting for the enemy to get close before attacking with extraordinary abilities.

Some of the enemy Extraordinaries used their own abilities or the sealed objects they held to simply jump over the machine gun positions. As soon as they appeared, they would be attacked by the Atlantean Army's Extraordinaries.

Some Sequence 5 and demigods used abilities or sealed objects to appear directly at the artillery position of the Atlantis Army, but they first saw Medici sitting behind the artillery position with his legs crossed.

Behind Medici are rows of tents, which seem to be the military camps of the Atlantis army.

What greeted these Sequence 5 and demigods were the elites of the extraordinary troops of the Kingdom of Atlantis who had been waiting here for a long time.

A battle for Extraordinaries of this level is destined to be difficult to control, and the anti-aircraft guns still suffered some losses.

The Extraordinaries of the Parth Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. According to the current speed of destruction, it would be enough to buy time for the airships to rush to the artillery position.

At the same time, many demigods used their abilities to accelerate the flying speed of the airship.

At this moment, Medici raised his hand.

Hula~
A large tent behind Him was overturned, revealing once again a large number of anti-aircraft guns.

The demigods were stunned for two or three seconds!

Withdraw!

Otherwise, even an airship wouldn't be able to get back. But this battle was commanded by Medici himself, how could they be allowed to retreat so easily?

A large number of Beyonders rushed out from the military camp again and entangled them.

These are the Extraordinaries who have just used the teleportation array to mobilize from the other two armies and the rear of the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Bang bang bang bang bang~
The urging sound of artillery continued, and the soldiers on the Paz Army's position gradually became desperate.

The sky at this time was a large air crash scene, and many airships were exploding, burning, or falling.

The entire sky was dyed orange-red by the flames.

A large number of airship pilots parachuted out, but under intensive artillery fire, many of them were hit by shells and shattered in the air.

Some shells even "crash" one or two of the parachuting airmen, but still hit the airship without any impact.

Even if they parachuted successfully, most of them jumped into the middle of the positions of the two armies and were killed as targets before they even landed.

At this time, the airship formations received the order to retreat.

After another group of airships were shot down, they finally flew out of the range of the anti-aircraft guns.

At this time, the Extraordinaries of the Parth Kingdom finally withdrew from the Atlantean army's position after paying a certain price.

A smile appeared on Medici's face. He stood up and said in a voice that could be heard by a hundred thousand troops: "Get ready! The general attack begins!"

First, the artillery bombardment of the general attack began. In this bombardment, all the cannons were fired at the same time, and the artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce.

The bombardment was not over yet, and the infantry had already begun to jump out of their positions and charge towards the enemy's positions.

After the bombardment ended, the Atlantis army rushed to a position not far from the enemy's position.

The Paz Army was almost defeated at the first touch. It only took more than two hours for the vanguard of the Atlantis Army to seize the position and quickly launch a pursuit at Medici's request.

I chased them all day without encountering any decent resistance.

After this battle, airships officially withdrew from the stage of history.

Of course, Medici knew that the Atlantean army did not have the shortcomings of the air force. He had discussed with Hobert a long time ago how to solve this shortcoming, but Hobert told him not to take it too seriously.

At first, Medici thought that Hobert was secretly forming an air force. Until the anti-aircraft gun was pushed in front of Medici, he immediately realized that the airship was behind the times.

To Hobert, the air force in his mind was of fighter planes roaring in the sky, not of slow airships.

He originally thought that it was the emergence of airplanes that made airships obsolete, but there is no oil in this world and there is no fuel for airplanes, so airships have always been in service in the Air Force.

After the bombing of Saint Milon, he realized that the elimination of airships might not be entirely due to airplanes.

At that time, He discovered that there were no anti-aircraft guns in this world!

The angle of the anti-aircraft machine gun is difficult to control, the effective range is very limited, and the power is too small. Even if a dozen bullets hit the same airship, it will only damage the airship.

If the airship formation carries out high-altitude bombing, the anti-aircraft machine gun is just a decoration!

But it would be different if there were anti-aircraft guns. Firstly, the firing height of the anti-aircraft guns was high enough to hit any airship. Secondly, the shells were powerful enough to destroy the airship easily.

So Hobert ordered the development of machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. Because cannons were already relatively mature weapons, they were quickly developed successfully. After sufficient experiments, mass production and installation began.

Back to the present, in the next few days, the western front troops of the Atlantis Army took turns pursuing, but the morale of the Paz Army had fallen to the bottom with the fall of the airship.

Although they also carried out blockades and caused some losses to the Atlantis army, they still could not restore the defeated situation.

The pursuit did not end until the Pars army fleeing in front met the main force coming to support.

At this time, the more than 400,000 troops of the Parth Army finally gathered together, and the eastern front troops of the Atlantis Army had also passed through the Palu Canyon and were chasing after them. The two forces combined totaled 170,000 to 80,000 people. people.

The momentum for a decisive battle between the two sides has emerged, but the senior leaders of the Pars Kingdom thought that the decisive battle was on the western front, and they arrived at the hinterland of the Pars Kingdom.

At the same time, the Atlantean army still has a 100,000-strong army remaining in the Balam Empire.

The reminder from Hobert's dream told him to be extra careful when dealing with the Balam Empire, so he only occupied the eastern part of the Balam Empire, but not the entire territory.

Following this, Xio also sent back exact information. The so-called trump card of the Bailang Empire was to release some monsters in the underworld.

It is said that those monsters were sealed by the Hades Emperor back then and were very powerful.

The Hades Emperor even issued an order regarding this, and no one was allowed to lift the seals on those monsters.

This can verify the power of those monsters from the side.

But things are different now. The Balam Empire regards this as a last resort, or a bargaining chip to force the Kingdom of Atlantis to negotiate.

They also knew very well at this time that the decadent empire was no match for the Kingdom of Atlantis.

So they only hope to negotiate with the Kingdom of Atlantis and restore the territory before the war. The two sides will cease the war and never have a war again.

As long as the Kingdom of Atlantis agrees, they will once again use the seal left by the Emperor of Hades to re-seal those monsters to the underworld, and the Byron Empire will become an ally of the Kingdom of Atlantis.

The Parth Kingdom doesn't think so. They plan to completely destroy the seal after the Balam Empire releases those monsters, causing huge losses to Atlantis and giving Hobert a headache.

It was precisely because of serious differences between the two parties that Xio had the opportunity to obtain this information.

In this regard, Hobert's attitude is to confront the Balam Empire first, and he will try to solve the problem of the Balam Empire later.

Now He has more important things to do.

……

In the western part of the Southern Continent, there is a small Utopian city.

Hobert was sitting in the somewhat dilapidated "Elf Restaurant". The tables and chairs here were very messy, and the glass of the windows and doors were also damaged. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

Looking out from here, the other side of the square was destroyed by unknown forces. Large areas of houses were razed to the ground, and a sense of depression and dilapidation came to us.

Suddenly, Klein came out of the "historical pore" without any warning: "I didn't expect you to ask me to meet here."

He looked around and sighed helplessly. This city was destroyed like this in the previous battle!

"It's rare to find such a familiar place," Hobert exclaimed.

He took out another copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Servant of Secrets": "This is for you, you can try to digest it in advance."

"Thank you." Klein took it: "How can I help you?"

Hobert stretched his waist and said, "Let's make two Elf dishes. Let's chat while eating."

"No problem." Klein snapped his fingers, and the Utopia immediately returned to its original appearance, except that there were no pedestrians outside, not even a pigeon.

However, there were many panicked little animals that quickly fled back to the jungle not far away.

The "Elf Restaurant" also has a new look, no different from the last time Hobert came.

Then the waiter came out of the kitchen, brought the menu, and asked two people to order.

They still ordered four dishes and one soup, and while drinking beer, Hobert said in a chatting tone: "If I become the 'Black Emperor', Russell will completely fall."

When Klein heard this, he paused while holding the wine glass and glanced at Hobert.

Hobert's words are tantamount to admitting that he is the "creator."

After all, the "creators" are currently only gods, most likely at the level of the King of Angels. How can a subordinate of a god be a god of the same path or an adjacent path?
Hobert ignored Klein's gaze and continued: "So I thought of a way to make Russell no longer the 'Black Emperor', so that I can be promoted boldly.

"So I want to ask 'The Fool' for a favor. The specific plan is this..."

Hobert briefly described the plan he had thought of before, "grafting" Russell with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Emperor of Knowledge", and using the "projection" and "fooling" of Russell when he was the "Emperor of Knowledge" History and reality have changed from the "resurrecting black emperor" to the "knowledge emperor".

Finally, Hobert said: "I used the previous divine war to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Knowledge Emperor' that exploded from Russell.

"What is certain is that there are still traces of Russell's spirit inside, which should be helpful for your 'grafting'."

Klein didn't expect Hobert to be so fully prepared, even ready for the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

He thought about it and felt that this plan was quite feasible.

Then He realized: "You... know... know that I am..."

Hobert smiled half-seriously: "The 'Soothsayer' path has two Sequence 1 characteristics that I helped to obtain, and I probably know where the uniqueness of this path is, so..."

He made a hand gesture: "Obviously the situation is similar to mine."

Klein suddenly laughed while holding the beer, and it was the kind of smile that couldn't stop. Hobert also laughed.

I don't know why, but they all think the current situation is funny.

They were originally two big figures in the extraordinary world, but who knew that for a long time in the past, they were just disguises!
Klein laughed: “This suddenly reminded me of our first meeting in Tingen.

"I didn't expect that it would be the first meeting between the great 'Creator' and the respected 'Mr. Fool'!"

Hobert smiled and picked up the wine glass: "To Mr. Fool."

Klein also raised his glass and tried to be serious: "To the creator."

The two clinked glasses, but they started laughing again after taking a sip, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, and they were both characters in that joke.
