Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 374 Ghent in the Smoke
"Kelly, you can fly in any direction first. There are no markers in the vast sea, and I can't tell where we are now."

Looking at the compass and map in her hand, Ma Lin couldn't hide the excited look on her brows. She has a deep love for her hometown, and the ocean seems to be bluer.

Different from the structure of the continent of Arad, the Heaven Realm is strictly speaking four huge islands on the water, mixed with some sporadic topography of other islands. That is to say, the ocean area is extremely vast and occupies most of it.

The eyes are full of sparkling sea water, without the slightest raised and useful visual reference, which can easily make people feel a kind of fear of falling into the deep sea and being alone and helpless.

Of course, there was originally a huge continent in the heavens, but because of the boundless anger of the Explosive Dragon King Bakar when he was dying, the continent was divided into the current Ghent, Nospes, Eaton Industrial Area, and the Lawless Zone (Mospes) ) four small continents.

And the Xiling Islands, the exotic island (later connected to Kronos Island) and other small islands.

Among them, the lawless area was a "prison" that was abandoned by the Seventh Empire by default decades ago!
As the "Glasses" spacecraft gradually stabilized, Hiate and the others, who were still wearing blindfolds, crowded around the window, looking at the legendary "Heaven Realm", bursts of exclamation came and went.

"It's hard to imagine that this boundless sea is actually suspended in the sky."

"This is, another world!"

"Although it's just a small step for Gu Yu, it's a giant leap for Arad!"

……

He chose a random direction and flew steadily. After about an hour, the outline of an island slowly emerged in his sight.

This is an archipelago, which is basically similar in terrain to Faroe Bay, but its area is more than three times larger than Faroe Bay. You can vaguely see the beach with green trees and various houses the size of mung beans.

"This should be the Xiling Islands, a resort for the nobles. There are almost no civilians living here. It is a very privileged island." Marlene confirmed with affirmation.

Kelly looked disdainful, and said contemptuously: "This is a paradise for the rich, while Mospeus is a hell for the poor. I really want to throw a quantum bomb down there."

But she was just talking about it verbally, as if she had really wiped out this place, and there would be no place to stand in the heavens in the future.

Marlene determined the direction according to the topography of the archipelago, and said, "Go southeast, that's the direction of Ghent."

"okay!"

The spaceship drove towards Ghent at a high speed. After kidnapping the queen, the Carter organization was determined to abduct the queen, and deployed a large number of soldiers and siege weapons in an attempt to wipe out Ghent completely.

Two 10 minutes later...

Kaili's excited expression was slowly dignified, majestic, majestic, and technologically advanced. Ghent, known as the "City of Gods", has not been seen yet, but it is full of smoke billowing, as if a war broke out.

The thick smoke and dust surged fiercely, as if it was about to ignite the entire Ghent. It turned out that the Ghent Forest at the foot of the Hart Mountain was burning violently, and the smoke went straight into the sky for more than a kilometer.

The structural form of Ghent is centered on the royal palace, and the residential buildings are spread all over the entire continent in a radial pattern.

The Halter Mountains bound Ghent to the north and west, and the sea in the other two directions.

Among them, on the coast south of Ghent, there is a famous team, the Coast Guard!

The main duty of the Coast Guard used to be to prevent the barbarians from the lawless zone from invading by boat, and the captain was Hailan Clough, known as the genius mechanic (later the gunner)!

But as far as the current situation of Callett's invasion is concerned, the Coast Guard must at least bear the crime of "negligence of duty".

"Ghent Forest, how did it burn?"

Kelly looked shocked, and quickly hovered the spaceship in the air. The thick smoke billowed like oppressive black clouds in a rainstorm. If she plunged into it rashly, there might be no accidents.

Looking around with the binoculars, Ye Lin was a little surprised and said: "Fire attack, this is a very common siege method. Have you noticed the smoke? The wind direction is just blowing towards Ghent today."

By burning the forest to create thick smoke, and with the help of a favorable wind direction, it covers the city of Ghent, which is already hard to defend because of the cut off of electricity. If it is caught off guard, the defense force will be greatly reduced, and even soldiers and residents will suffer casualties.

The most frightening thing is that the forest fires will not be extinguished overnight. According to the scale of the Ghent forest outside Mount Hart, the burning may not stop for a week or two.

The dust after burning, the thick smoke of suffocation, will pollute the air and rivers, which is simply a disaster for the residents living in Ghent.

On the other hand, Carret, because of the preparations in advance, can sit comfortably in the bunker and wait for the whole city. This behemoth collapsed without bloodshed.

If there are some people with vicious thoughts, they can also add some material to the thick smoke to cause poisonous gas to kill.

At that time, no one in Ghent who does not have a gas mask may be spared, and the whole city will be reduced to a smoky hell.

……

After the princess Alizee was held hostage by the Carret organization, it was the great noble Duke Navello Jurgen who was temporarily appointed as the regent of the heavens.

The House of Nobles, which is unique to the heavens, is equivalent to the Senate of the Dark Elf, and also known as the "Parliament of Nobles."

Jurgen is a great nobleman, probably equivalent to the noble status of the Duke of the Delos Empire and the chief of the dark elves, Shaprun.

Heaven has abandoned the detailed grading of nobles such as princes, sons and sons, and some are just nobles differentiated from traditional nobles, as well as big nobles!
In addition to the Jurgen family, the famous aristocrats also include the Wien family, the Kischka family and so on.

The Ghent Garrison Command Post is located outside the Royal Palace, Ghent Workshop Street.

Although Zeddin Schneider, the captain of the Ghent Garrison, holds an important position, because of the haste of the battle, the princess was captured, so no one gave him the rank of general.

But her outstanding ability and responsible attitude made the nobles dare not underestimate her.

"The arsonist Bentinck set fire to the Ghent forest yesterday after attacking the outer walls of Ghent with incendiary bombs to no avail."

Zeddin had a heroic female face and a neat and simple dress, but at this moment she was gnashing her teeth and almost distorted, smashing the table with a hand cannon.

Her right hand was unfortunately destroyed in a battle against Carrett and is currently replaced by a bronze hand cannon.

"We must find a way to put out the fire first, and then arrest Bentinck and his accomplices. Dr. Melvin, is there any targeted fire extinguishing device?"

The voice was strong and steady, and it was Jurgen, the great nobleman who was speaking at the top. After Ghent was first captured by Carter, most of the nobles fled to Nospis for refuge.

And Jurgen's proud self-esteem did not allow him to abandon Ghent as a deserter, so he stayed in Ghent to command the battle, and when necessary, he would participate in the battle with superb shooting skills.

Wearing a dark blue robe, holding a folding fan, his face is elegant and calm, and he is meticulous in grooming. The eyes behind the glasses seem to be condensed with the light of thousands of wisdom.

Although the Jurgen family is the founding fathers of the country, but because there have been no capable ministers for hundreds of years, although the family still has a "name", its influence has been declining precipitously.

Probably because he has been accumulating for too long, the genius-like Navello turned out to be the first in the House of Nobles with his astonishing means in one fell swoop!

That is to say, the chairman of the parliament, once the position of Santorini.

The person he asked was a lazy young man with disheveled hair, white clothes and red trousers, and a listless look.

Melvin Richter, one of the Elytra of the Seven Gods, possesses unparalleled mechanical talent, and is admired by another of the Elytra of the Seven Gods, Merry Fayonier.

Originally, the Elytra of the Seven Gods had its own research base, but because of the break between Melvin and Giselle, Mei Li knew that the members of the Seven Gods must not continue to do research, so she gave Melvin a sleeping pill and used the air combat machine It was airdropped for support and dropped to Ghent to assist Zeddin's army.

"Ah, you can ask Wolverine that question..."

Melvin looked lazy, and patted the four-legged machine under his buttocks, responsible for taking him around while protecting Wolverine for his personal safety.

Wolverine was created when he was ten years old. He has the intelligence of a primary school student and is also the pinnacle of artificial intelligence science in the heavens.

If you don't count Mia Richter...

A genius-like person naturally has an inherent arrogance. Unless it is a necessary matter or a problem related to science, Melvin is generally too lazy to talk to the other party.

At the same time, Melvin is a figure who respects data, that is to say, he wants to explain everything with science.

Giselle is a rare idealist. He is good at constructing scientific blueprints and fighting for them.

To put it another way, Melvin is actually an elite of the old school in the development of science, that is, a victim of mechanical unification, while Giselle is an idealist. In terms of character, he is actually biased towards the core workshop of war.

Elytra of the Seven Gods emphasizes mutual research and win-win cooperation at the same time, but Melvin's genius and arrogance actually made him say "Giselle's level is low and she is not worthy of the Elytra of the Seven Gods".

It can be said that the reason why Giselle defected to the Elytra of the Seven Gods, in a sense, Melvin did bear part of the unshirkable responsibility.

At the same time, the relationship between Melvin and another member of the Elytra of the Seven Gods, Ninn Higg, is also average.

In fact, his relationship with other Elytra of the Seven Gods is pretty normal...

　Castle in the Sky, currently there are too many plot bugs and book-eating.

　　For example, in terms of setting, there are actually many, many castles in the sky. Does it mean that each one has a castellan of light?How are other Laputas bad?

　　And in the personal profile of 100npc Hugh Fitzrially mentioned: After the road to the sky city is opened...

　　From this point of view, the Sky City seems to have been completely opened up after Segerhardt's death and the adventurer's journey to the heavens, becoming a stable passage between the two worlds.

　　That problem came again. When Sherlock hit the big magic circle in CG, she was blocked by Celia's big magic circle and was even seriously injured. Why didn't she go directly to the heaven to draw electricity through the sky city?
　　Since Hilok has entered the tower to resurrect the City Lord of Light and the stone giant, can't the blind see the way up?
　　Of course, it can be explained forcibly. People can live through it, but apostles can't.

　　In addition, there is indeed a forest on the left side of Ghent, but the name of that forest... I couldn't make out the name with my eyes turning red (after all, the mosaic game...sigh), I asked the group of friends and got A few names...Nalu, Naji, Evergreen (this should be possible)...

　　In addition, Melvin's character, according to the setting and some equipment, such as Melvin's suit, is indeed very arrogant.

　　As for why it didn't show much in the plot, it's because the tasks with Melvin are basically related to science.

　　That is to say, he is happy to talk about science, but he will not talk to a scientific madman like you about other things.
