Alien Paradise.

Chapter 424: Interception from the Void

"woo woo woo woo------"

A dull horn sounded... A huge army finally appeared in the northern suburbs, almost at the agreed time. The armor on the soldiers' chests was shining in the afterglow of the setting sun, and from a distance, it looked like a long snake shining with orange light.

I guess the Long Jiu family is not prepared for the battle at all?
From the movements in the northern part of the city, it can be seen that the residents are still busy with their lives, and the police are still focusing on thieves and peddlers... As for the army? The patrol soldiers on the avenue have long been dealt with by the elite team, and the main force of the Longjiu Army is still concentrated in the inner city of the city to prevent the nobles from rebelling. This undoubtedly handed over the suburbs to the Alliance Army, allowing the latter to have sufficient time to deploy troops.

The capital city, which had been occupied for almost a year, was finally going to return to the hands of its rightful owner.

Just as Mekfa had expected, forty minutes had passed since the army appeared and launched its offensive outside the northern city. The sun was only a tiny part of the sky, and Long Jiu's army still hadn't responded. However, the local people showed great experience. Not long after the horn sounded, they all dispersed and went back to their houses, locking the doors and windows.

"We have taken control of the trenches outside." Moses also climbed up the bell tower at this time. "The army did not encounter any resistance. I thought there would be a fierce battle in the suburbs, but it seems that I was overthinking it."

“Those young masters Long Jiu must be as anxious as ants on a hot pot right now, right?” Mekfa said nonchalantly, “Without Wilson’s protection, these so-called noble elites are nothing more than this.”

But even if Duke Long Jiu was still alive, what would be wrong with a head-on confrontation?
The current army... has been completely transformed.

In the past, the Kingdom Army lost the protection of the Goddess of Fertility.

And they... were bathed in the divine light again.

"Please ask Duke Rosha to order a general attack. This city is ours."

……

"Why don't you let me lead the army to fight? Big brother, what are you thinking about!?" Zigwei shouted at his eldest brother Qi Bo, who was sitting on the throne of the Golden Spike Palace like a statue.

Other ministers who heard the news looked at each other, wondering what the legal successor would plan to do next.

Now everyone has realized that the attack on Duke Longjiu by the Flower Sword was not an isolated incident - several murders against Longjiu nobles have occurred in the city in the past few days, causing panic among the people of the city. Before they could catch the murderer, an army with the flag of the Kingdom of Winter suddenly appeared in the northern suburbs of the kingdom. This series of events was obviously premeditated: their enemies came for revenge.

This is definitely not good news for the Longjiu family, which has just lost its backbone.

But didn’t all the descendants born in Long Jiufeng grow up in adversity?
The weaker you appear, the more rampant the enemy will become. Qi Bo must understand this principle!

But he asked the troops left by his father not to move rashly, and all of them came to the palace for refuge, while the army used the inner city wall as the boundary and focused on defense. This kind of handing over the strategic initiative to others was something that Zigwe had never heard of before! Moreover, Long Jiujun was an outsider in the eyes of the locals. If he gave the entire outer city to the enemy so easily, not to mention that he would be trapped, what would the people who saw it think?
I’m afraid they will immediately turn around and support this “liberation army”!
By then, it will be difficult for them to break through!
"You still remember what your father told you, right?" Qi Bo raised his head and looked at Qi Gewei, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue, "Let us manage Gaofeng Company well. The company's main task is to make profits and expand production. Things like war should not be participated in by us..."

Zigwei was stunned. Is this what the head of the family should say?
Isn't it because of the wars that the Longjiu family has been able to develop from a small corner to what it is today? And this eldest brother often participates in foreign wars, and is definitely not a timid person.

No... He had felt that something was wrong with Qi Bo. After his father's death, he had handed over the arrangements for the ceremony to the elders in the family, but he locked himself in the study with that iron lump called Weiden and had not shown up for almost the entire day. When he saw his eldest brother again, he looked extremely haggard, as if he had been drained of his energy.

By the way, shortly after Duke Longjiu was attacked, the robot butler gave him a key...

"Qi Bo Long Jiu, did your father tell you something alone?" Qi Gewei asked seriously, "Or... have you been bewitched by that humanoid iron lump? If so..." He drew the sword at his waist and looked at Weiden beside him, "Then I will chop it down now!"

"Father has indeed made arrangements." Qi Bo was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "Don't worry, I have ordered the army to defend the inner city to prevent people like Mekfa from attacking the rear. As for this war, someone else will be in charge."

"Who?"

"The new king," he replied briefly.

……

Just as the Allied Forces were entering the outer city area one after another, the soldiers at the front of the team were suddenly attacked!

Several violent explosions erupted in the center of the team, with rising columns of smoke more than ten meters high - an explosion of this magnitude would undoubtedly be devastating to the infantry, and the shock wave alone would be enough to cause organ rupture and death to anyone within seven or eight meters of the surrounding area.

The first thing everyone thought of was shelling.

Mekfa was no exception. He immediately looked towards the inner city area, but did not find the enemy's artillery firing point. After all, the urban area was not a suitable battlefield for artillery to be used. A large number of three- or four-story buildings would seriously affect the trajectory of the artillery shells. It would be extremely difficult to accurately hit a target on a certain street.

However, the Allied forces immediately made adjustments. They dispersed, either advancing along the streets or through the alleys to further expand the contact surface of the front line to avoid being hit by the enemy's cold artillery fire.

However, the situation has not improved.

As long as there are more troops in one place, there will be a death explosion, and this attack is extremely efficient. After each earth-shaking roar, it can cause more than dozens of casualties in the alliance army! Even if they hide under the eaves or even in the houses of locals, it does not change this situation! Balls of fire flashed on the streets of the northern city in an instant, and waves of torn corpses and heart-wrenching wails hit the vanguard troops. The alliance army's advancing formation was obviously shaken.

No...that's not right. What on earth are they fighting against?
Mekfa was a little confused.

This is no ordinary army! The Alliance Army has now been blessed by the gods, and every soldier has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past. It is no exaggeration to say that they are one against ten! In a sense, this is a group of soldiers who are qualified to participate in the warrior level certification. At the very least, they are equivalent to elite warriors. Such strong individual strength, coupled with the military structure of the training structure, is the confidence of the Kingdom of Winter to dare to take the royal city directly!
The Flower Sword believed that even if the Longjiu Army sent out the Steam Armored Knights to fight against them again, the Alliance Army would never be at a disadvantage! However, the enemy was attacking them fiercely, but they couldn't even fight back - observing the soldiers' reactions from a high place, they obviously didn't find out where the attack came from!
