The boring life of the white devil

"Your Excellency, Captain, please stay away. It's too dangerous here." The adjutant beside Hong Tony suggested loudly to him.

"This is a battlefield! There is no safe place!" There is no point in being able to repel Naren's army. Even if he hides in a safe place now, once the city wall is captured, no matter who it is, he will cease to exist.

"But your Excellency..." The adjutant looked worried.

Tony Hong's eyes widened and he cursed angrily, "Damn it, do you think I will die in this kind of game-like war? If you have time to talk nonsense, why not shoot a few more magic bullets to hit him!"

Hontoni is a pure warrior. He does not know any magic. In such a blocking battle, his sharp blade cannot cut the enemy's throat.

While saying these few words.Cannonballs and fireballs continued to hit the city wall, causing collapse in many places.But Yelusan's magic had no effect at all.Countless lightning arrows hit the bottom of the spacecraft, but had no effect at all. The spacecraft was still moving forward. The Nalen Army had always done a good job in insulating and protecting the magic lightning.

The spaceship of Nalen's army was less than 50 meters away from the city wall.

The outline of the spacecraft is becoming clearer and clearer.Flying towards the city wall at an oblique angle.

Silver-gray steel makes up the hull of the spacecraft, and the steel plates are connected with rivets.Approximately 300 meters long and 50 meters wide.It is simply a behemoth, a castle flying in the sky.In the central part of the ship, from the bow to the bridge, there are about a dozen cannons facing forward.

Soldiers who often move inland may not know it, but Hontony knows this big iron plate, which is a battleship used to fight on the ocean.Large ships with heavy artillery.But what Hontoni knew was that even those within the empire that sailed on the ocean were mostly wooden battleships.I have never heard of any country that has built a steel-hulled battleship.

What is even more unimaginable is that this is Jerusalem, almost the center of the Allenville continent.How did the Nalen Army get this thing with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons here?If the Nalen Army had popularized this technology, the Empire would have no chance of winning against its enemies.Now just one ship can almost attack the next city.

There was no one on deck.Like a ghost ship, it was impossible to confirm where the fireball just came from.

"It's an artillery! The fireball is fired from the muzzle of the artillery!"

Nearby, you can already see the largest muzzle in the center.Continuously launch balls of fire.

The Nalen Army carried out indiscriminate attacks, whether it was the city wall or the civilian areas of the town.A large number of houses were burning, and civilians in the city were scurrying around.People who have been born with too much peace cannot imagine that this kind of thing has actually happened around them.People lost their homes, and most of them were fleeing toward the south gate, which was not under attack.

People were wailing, wailing, and wailing, and the industrial fire of war burned the streets filled with fear.It was a complete scene of hell.

The Nalen Army was not a mob as described in textbooks at all, and their attack was completely prepared.Furthermore, they may have come with the intention of completely defeating the empire.All the imperial soldiers present confirmed this. In this war, Jerusalem will surely fall.

Towering walls mean nothing, and neither do fathomless moats.The impregnable Jerusalem is just a relic left by the nobles to prove that decayed history.The magnificent walls that took so much life and blood to build will turn into ruins overnight.

No one could have imagined that the Naron people were driving battleships and attacking from the air.

The shocking scene shattered the psychology of many soldiers.

"It's impossible, this is impossible to defeat!" A soldier cried, holding his head and dropping his weapon.

His tears soaked his uniform.

His stomach throbbed in pain and he fell to his knees crying.The surrounding soldiers were still releasing magic.Even if you know you will die in the next second, all the dignity of living things will still resist.In peaceful times, those creatures that could not resist were killed and eaten countless times.I never thought that one day I would die like a powerless ant.

Hontoni raised his sword and swung it down.Cutting off the soldier's head to the ground, Hontony would not allow such weak and incompetent humans to appear in his army. "Would you die under the enemy's fire and become a hero! Or die under my sword and become a villain of the empire?" Ghosts will never turn over! Imperial soldiers should have a supreme sense of honor! For the King of Heroes!"

No.16 The Destroyed Town

There was a woman standing in front of the burned wooden house with an emotionless expression.Just looking at the blazing flames, the land has become waste.This was all her property, and she didn't want to escape. Her children and husband were crushed under the beams and could not escape, turning into ashes.

No matter where you go, you will have nothing left.

Her husband's last words to her were, "Escape quickly, you will survive even if you are alone."

This was something she couldn't do. She was used to relying on her husband's strength and gentleness, and her eyes were full of despair.She cannot live independently.

The woman slowly walked towards the burning ruins, and in the firelight there was a scene of children waving to her.She walked forward step by step, thinking that this way she could be with the children.

Children must not be without their mother's company. Without their mother's tenderness, their children will definitely cry.

"Lord Demon King, what do you think of this? I think she will definitely make a great contribution to the production of the Demon King's army." A clear girlish voice came from behind the woman.

Then came a rather muddy male voice, "Well, that's right. Take him away. He is indeed the most intelligent general in the Demon King's Army. He has really sharp eyesight. He can find such a talent among ten thousand people."

"Honored."

Aicilia accepted the order with a smile and held the fallen woman on her shoulders.As a knight of the Knights Order, with long-term training, resisting a woman is nothing.

Next to Aicilia, Soleichuan was holding a four or five-year-old boy in his right hand, like a rabbit being carried by a hunter returning home.His left hand held a little girl of about the same age in his arms.

They were passing by the orphanage just now and rescued two children who were crying on the spot.The boy kept crying in Soleichuan's arms, and the girl had fallen asleep in Soleichuan's arms.

Soleichuan and Aicilia smiled at each other and continued running towards the south gate.

"Hey, let's take the prisoners and build our Demon King's Castle!"

In the opposite direction to them, the battleship had already passed the north city gate, and its bow had entered the city of Jerusalem.Artillery fire continued to attack, houses continued to burn to ashes, and city walls continued to collapse like building blocks.

The garrison on the city wall still did not give up.

Hontoni took the elevator down from the city wall to the ground.He said to the adjutant, "Gather all the remaining troops here."

There were already many scratches on his body. Fortunately, no major blood vessels were touched, and the amount of bleeding was not much.

"However, if we abandon the guarding of each city gate and Nalen's army attacks, we will be attacked from both sides." The adjutant beside Hontoni suggested.

"If we don't get rid of that stinky iron sheet, the result will be the same." Hontoni gasped, "The ship did not focus its firepower on the garrison on the city wall, indicating that their purpose was not to capture the city at all. And up to now So far, no one has been observed on the deck of the battleship. This is completely underestimated. Their real idea is to use the disparity in combat power to make us lose our will to fight and surrender. I don’t think there will be any for the time being. The Naren Army except that ship.”

"Understood." The adjutant lowered his head.In my heart, I admire the leader who can maintain a calm mind at this time.It seems that the person he has been following for many years is not wrong.

"In addition, drag out all the artillery and artillery shells that have been preserved in the last century. Let them see what the Imperial Army did!" Hontoni clenched his fists loudly.

The battleship of the Nalen Army flew straight into the sky over the city, with a huge vent behind it. The air quickly discharged from the vent could not be seen in the dark.Guaranteed the propulsion of the battleship.

"Oh? Is that the broken pipe that allows this big iron ship to fly in the air?" Suoleichuan held the two children while looking up at the giant thing in the sky.

Alicia could understand that the amount of air discharged from the tube was indeed a bit like magic, but it could only provide propulsion.Alicia, a good knight who is proficient in magic and can make such a monster rise to the sky, will never admit that it is magic.

Even if magic is called a miracle, it is just the power drawn from the elves in the air.Wind, thunder, water, fire.There are only these four kinds of power generated by magic.

The magic that allows the battleship to fly so smoothly in the sky does not exist at all.

What can be trained is the strength of the magic power and the control of the accuracy of the magic power.

Magic used in actual combat must be used flexibly.Therefore, magic is not a miracle, it can only be used freely after careful calculation and a lot of practice.It is not an exaggeration to say that magic is science.

Only complex spell compositions and tenacious mental strength can create magic.

Even wind magic that can speed up movement relies on the magical wind to be attached around the body for assistance, and what is more required is the physical coordination of the caster.Without long-term training and unable to coordinate airflow and movement, it is easy to spin in circles in the air alone.

No.17 Chapter [-] Must kill and so on are all in the book

In the sky, the battleship itself was emitting a strange aura, like a ghost ship, emitting a strong and disturbing smell.

In the center of Jerusalem is a hill on which is built an ancient castle where nobles lived in the last century.

This is the only building in Jerusalem made of solid stone.

Common people live in wooden buildings.

Now it has become a tourist spot for citizens and tourists to visit and play.Completely free and open to everyone.This is to remember those nobles who have become history.

The underground of the castle was originally a special passage for nobles to escape, and it was also a free property built to save the lives of nobles with great financial and material resources.Now it has become a refuge for citizens.

Although it has been there for a long time, someone has been maintaining it, and I never thought that it would come in use one day.The passage was crowded with people. It was impossible for Jerusalem, which had a hundred thousand civilians, to allow everyone to pass through this narrow passage to the outside of the city.But more people chose to escape directly from the south gate on the ground, so as to avoid chaos and congestion in the passage.

Carrying the boy on his back and holding the girl in his arms, Soleichuan and Aicilia were walking in the passage.The woman who had just attempted suicide had regained her composure and followed the crowd with her head lowered.

This is a passage that can only hold about three people abreast. Although the ceiling is high, it is meaningless for the flow of people.The passage bound by steel bars looked very strong, but rubble continued to fall overhead due to the vibration of the artillery fire.

In the crowded passage, a motley group of people almost passed each other.Not many people spoke, and the passage was eerily quiet. They were about to leave their homes and become homeless.In what was originally thought to be a peaceful day, war suddenly broke out. People who originally wanted to stay in this hometown had to leave this soil full of memories because of the collapse of the city wall.Although they haven't seen Nalen's army yet, the hatred in their hearts has been tumbling and growing in people's hearts.

There were just two people who didn't know how to read the air, chatting freely.

"Acilia, can't you help me hold a child?" Soleichuan was a little tired after holding two children for a long time.

"You have to ask me to take care of a child born from an affair with a woman outside. Haven't I been tricked by you into abandoning women a long time ago? Why, why do you still come to me?" Aicilia started to act again. She acted lamely and deliberately tried to squeeze tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Let me tell you, don't you know what you can and cannot say?" Although Soleichuan complained, he also knew that this would not stop Aicilia from making jokes at any time.

"Because the war cannot be stopped, there will definitely be many critical moments in the future. In order to protect yourself, it is necessary to train the Demon King. So the Demon King will treat this as what the former knight Aicilia has done to you. The first lesson." Aicilia put on a serious expression, "I will definitely train the Demon King to become a qualified knight!"

"Even if the reason you said is so valid, it's just an excuse for you to be lazy. And what exactly does it mean to ask a demon king to become a knight?" Soleikawa let out a long sigh, although he said that sighing was his habit since he was a child.But since I met Aicilia, the number of times has obviously increased.

"Don't underestimate practice, young man! As long as you practice over time, you can master the one-shot and two-shot nirvana!" Aicilia suddenly raised her voice.

"Okay, okay, I'll continue carrying it alone." Soleichuan really didn't want to say any more words of defense to Aicilia.

Even Soleichuan, who has not received professional training, understands that unique tricks like the ones Aicilia mentioned only exist in novels and comics that were discarded when he was a wanderer.In real-life combat training, there are almost no special moves.Even now that magic is prevalent, there are not many people who can attach magic to their weapons like when Iselia fought against the Naren Army in the forest.

Earth-shattering tricks exist in fantasy.

Due to the inconvenience of requiring spells and chants to cast spells, on the real battlefield, even knights mainly engage in hand-to-hand combat.The training of hand-to-hand combat relies more on strong strength, quick conditioned reflexes and actual combat experience.

Killing with fixed moves is a joke in the eyes of soldiers and knights.Shouting the name of the move loudly before using it gives people many opportunities to find gaps and loopholes.

"Don't underestimate practice! This is the ladder of human progress!" Aicilia said with a very serious expression.

But Soleichuan understood that the more serious Aicilia was, the less expression she would have. When she deliberately put on a serious expression, it was when she was joking.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Teacher Aicilia."

I don’t know what kind of mentality the “master” that Aicilia refers to has in mind to educate a disciple like Aicilia.If there really is such a person, Soleichuan guarantees, it must be one of the humans he least wants to see in his life.

Magic became known to people.

Just like magic, special moves are not created out of thin air.The embers of the fire gave birth to the fire spirit, the water turned into steam gave birth to the water spirit, the lightning falling from the sky gave birth to the thunder spirit, and the howling wind left behind the wind spirit.

It is nature that produces elves, not elves that produce nature.This is common knowledge on this continent.Magic is the use of certain spells to arrange and combine the elves that exist in the air and cannot be seen by the naked eye, and then bring about the effects.

These spells can only be taught to those who are loyal to the Percy Empire and have been given the title of knight.Gain access to the Percy Empire Library.There are many books about magic in it.

Books are not allowed to be taken out, and it is also forbidden to memorize them in your head and then write them yourself outside the library.Such behavior will be punished as treason and sentenced to life imprisonment.But the law cannot control people's mouths.Word of mouth is allowed.As long as those spells are not recorded on paper, it is legal.

However, because the technique is very complicated.At first glance, those who perform magic seem to be able to produce wind, thunder, water, and fire out of nothing with random and careless gestures.

However, this process is extremely cumbersome, and it is impossible to summon these natural miracles without extensive practice.To bring the four spirits in the air together and then create magic, it also requires mental strength that is stronger than ordinary people.

Magic has also become popular among civilians.Although it is impossible to perform large-scale or destructive magic.But in daily life, it is enough for things like making fire.Those powerful and destructive magics cannot be learned by others simply by word of mouth.

Angels caused wind, thunder, water and fire to occur on this land, bringing grace and blessings to people.People always wish each other, "May the grace of the elves be with you."

People became more pious, believing that as long as they prayed, angels and gods would come to save them.Angels are always watching over the world.

Chapter 18 The meaning of knighthood

Hontoni's adjutant took several soldiers back to the garrison of the garrison, which was a building at the foot of the city wall.

The soldiers opened a room, which was filled with dust.The adjutant held a torch and lit up half of the room.The room was filled with large-caliber artillery pieces.The black gun body has two large wheels on the side.

It was an antique from the last century, because each time the cannon was fired, the shells, gunpowder and fuse needed to be reloaded.And it requires more than two people to complete the operation.

The wasteful and laborious artillery has long been replaced by convenient magic - a single person can complete the operation, and there is no material consumption.

The dark and majestic artillery had been decommissioned as early as the era of Hero II.

The adjutant didn't quite understand what Captain Hong Tony was thinking. Can these old antiques really save Jerusalem?Can it really stand up to that fearsome battleship?

"Quick! Quick! Don't dawdle!" The adjutant directed the soldiers to push the artillery and shells outward.

The shells were all shiny black, and each one was as big as a watermelon.

The soldiers' faces were covered with sweat, but they didn't have time to wipe it off. People whose lives were hanging by a thread were holding on to their last hope.

"For the King of Heroes!" A soldier pushed the cannon and shouted loudly.He could no longer suppress the depressed mood in his heart.

In the burned-out city area, the originally tall city walls have collapsed.

What was once an indestructible fortress city was only an enemy battleship.

Nothing could be worse than this.

Although they clearly have several times more troops than the enemy, they are helpless.

There is nothing more unwilling than this.

Under the training of Hontoni, most of these things are already humans who can give their hearts to this empire.

"The glory of the Hero King is with us!"

The roaring voices of the soldiers came one after another. This was the venting of their true feelings and the revelation of their hearts.They really like this country, this heroic king who built the country to make it laughable.The enemy's cruel approach and indiscriminate attacks have stretched their patience to the limit.

"Drive them out of our territory!"

"For the King of Heroes!"

"For the King of Heroes!"

"For the King of Heroes!"

The soldiers chanted slogans in unison, and the shouts filled the sky.
