Chapter 232 Traces of the Queen Bee

Although the entire city of York was not under martial law, only a few pedestrians could be seen on the streets.

They were either city guards in black uniforms or mercenaries in various combat attires.

Occasionally, there are clerks wearing the dark blue dress uniforms of the city hall running back and forth under the protection of the city guards.

A large amount of gas burned, and the result of the fire magic was that the sky above York City was covered by a thick cloud.

Faintly, lightning can be seen flying like silver snakes in the clouds.

At this time, Cordo Feifan came to the highest point on the top floor of the mobile tower, a small but very solid observation deck.

The main body of the observatory frame is made of ironwood, which is light in weight and has a defensive strength comparable to Cannia special steel.

A hexahedron that fits the shape of a six-pointed star, each side is made of thick transparent crystal.

Compared with glass, the magic conductivity of transparent crystal is more than one level higher than the former.

Adjusting the three-layer lens on the single-piece goggles on his forehead to the far-sighted mode, everything on the battlefield outside the north wall is displayed under an extraordinary field of vision.

There are still some really capable people among the followers of the Duke of York. Simply placing the battlefield outside the city walls instead of relying on thick city wall defenses is worthy of praise.

The entire long north wall can resist countless enemies, but it is really not enough to deal with the poisonous bees with double wings.

At the far end of the battlefield are the burning wreckage of airships.

Around each airship were scattered fragments of the balloon spacecraft.

Fei Fei roughly counted and found that each airship was escorted by about twenty spaceships at that time.

"No wonder, the few combat airships left in the city are huddled at the junction of the inner and outer cities."

"boom"

With a loud noise, a mobile tower two hundred meters away from the city wall exploded violently, blowing the poisonous bees surrounding the tower into ashes.

Just outside the north gate of the outer city, more than a dozen mobile towers fought independently, each attracting a huge swarm of poisonous bees.

Dozens of slightly smaller mobile arrow towers exploded from inside from time to time.

Fei Fei knew that although these war fortresses had been renovated, the Venomous Bees' small body was their natural advantage.

If the city guards in the tower are defeated, they will open all the gas tanks and die together with the swarm.

"Sir, although these poisonous bees can be divided into several groups, their IQ is limited. Most of the swarms are just city gates where besiegers gather. If they randomly found a city wall as a breakthrough, York City would have been breached from the air. Got it!"

"If there are people on the street, the bees will definitely swarm up. But the civilians hiding in their homes will be fine as long as they are not exposed to the sight of the poisonous bees. The poisonous bees are not interested in masonry buildings!"

A city guard lookout who was responsible for explaining the battlefield situation to Fei Fei looked at the raging fire on the battlefield and spoke in a very calm tone.

He must be full of anger under the calm surface.

If he were given a spaceship full of gas tanks now, Feifan believed that he would rush towards the swarms of bees in the sky without hesitation.

"Where do you think the queen will be?"

Without a clue, Fei Fei asked the watchman beside him seemingly casually.

The corners of Observer's mouth twitched, but he stopped talking.

"Don't be pressured. The military ministers of the Duke's Palace and the knight commanders all believe that the queen bee is in the banyan forest in the northwest. You can express your opinion. Of course, it's up to me whether to adopt it or not. Don't nervous!"

Inspired by the extraordinary inspiration, the lookout hand looked at the earl who was about the same age as himself. His heart felt warm and he opened his mouth.

"My Lord Earl, have you seen a tower directly in front of us?"

Following the reminder from the lookout, sure enough, a tower with thick smoke but no open flame suddenly stood in the extraordinary north.

"Sir, the mobile tower is different from the stone wall arrow tower conjured by the earth magician under the city wall. Except for the steam engine that provides power, the rest is almost entirely made of wood."

"Our boss has posted several pictures of the habits and weaknesses of low-level monsters like Poisonous Bees on every floor of this tower."

"The poisonous bees generally don't choose food other than meat, unless they are in battle!"

"To replenish their energy, they eat everything they see!"

The watchman talks eloquently and is very organized.

The vast majority of monsters are naturally afraid of fire, not to mention the little poisonous wasps that can't stay still even if it gets a little hot.

Looking across the battlefield, there was indeed no trace of the poisonous bees around the still burning airship fragments.

There was another point that was only noticed by Fei Fei. The entire battlefield was too clean.

There was not a single body in sight as far as the eye could see.

At first, Fei Fei thought the battle was too brutal, so most of the city guards set their towers on fire and died together with the swarm.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

He looked up into the sky and looked at the distribution of bee swarms around him.

Sure enough, a huge swarm of bees, centered on the smoke-belching tower, attacked York City in a semicircular attack posture.

Feifan turned around, hugged the watchman's shoulders with both hands, and patted him hard twice.

"Very good! You are the biggest contributor to this war!"

Without even having time to ask the lookout's name, Feifei excitedly jumped down from the round hole in the center of the lookout and went straight to the top.

Arriving at the top hall where the big guys from York City gathered, Fei Fei told everyone what the lookout had discovered and his own opinions.

"Haha, that's just a lookout. Maybe he didn't even graduate from public school. How can you believe what he says?"

An old earl objected.

"Yes, Count Cordo is still too young. If we relied on guesswork to eliminate the queen, she would have died more than a dozen times!"

"Count Cordo must be careful! This is about the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city!"

Said a follower of the Duke, who had big ears and a round waist and was dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The four military ministers were silent, lowering their heads and thinking about the rationality of their extraordinary opinions.

The Duke of York sat calmly on a high-backed chair, with his hands folded and his chin dragging, watching a group of people arguing loudly.

As if he had made a decision, the Duke of York gently knocked on the armrest of the chair. The butler beside him took a step forward and shouted "Quiet".

Just like the hall of the merchant market, it suddenly became quiet, and even the "buzzing" sound outside the tower became a little weaker.

"Fei Fei, according to your judgment, do you have a solution?"

Faced with the Grand Duke's questioning, Fei Fei revealed his plan.

"Grand Duke, everyone must think that the sky is the safest place for the Queen Bee!"

"On the contrary, as long as the Queen Bee is at high altitude, it is impossible for her huge body not to be discovered by the airship and the empty space on the spaceship."

"Even just a glance from a distance can send back a signal that the queen has been spotted."

"But during the day and night of fighting, did a spacecraft send a signal? The same goes for the mobile towers on the ground."

"Then there is a basis for the queen bee hiding in the tower due north!"

He spoke eloquently for nearly a quarter of an hour, and there were whispers at the beginning. By the time Fei Fei finished speaking, everyone was speechless.

Even the Duke of York and the big bosses who were optimistic about Feifan were hesitant.

Those who opposed Fei Fei looked at Fei Fei as if they were a dead person.
