The teachers at Provisional Inspection Committee took turns observing the sky at Crescent Prairie with telescopes on the observation deck. Everyone who had used the telescope turned pale. Unlike the students, many of these teachers could probably guess Norman Empire below the airship just by counting the number and level of the airships in the telescope. Iron Horn Legion number of people, because war airships never go out alone.※※
"What is the time to start the main boiler of the castle? Is it still too late?" A teacher asked at a loss.
"According to these students, it will take at least three hours to activate the main boiler of the castle. The pressure in the boiler can activate the air defense weapons in the castle. During this time, the war airship that detects the rising pressure of the main boiler of the castle defense only needs to calmly drop a heavy white phosphorus incendiary bomb. Wild Wolf Castle will be reduced to ruins. We have no chance at all..." A teacher answered calmly.
The teachers were silent.
"Everyone, raise the blue and green flags. We have no right to let these innocent students die in vain here! We all know how many troops are under those airships. In the Eastern Continent's words, it is necessary for us people to be here to block the wheels of the train. Zi Xia's praying mantis? Strictly speaking, those students are still civilians now. They have no qualifications and no obligation to get involved in this war..." Jerome said, but his eyes were looking at Captain Colin, "Let's vote with a show of hands!"
Jerome was the first to raise his hand after he finished speaking. Many teachers slowly raised their hands. Finally, after Captain Colin also raised their hands, everyone raised their hands.
A few minutes later, along with the red smoke column in the castle, there was also the blue and green flag raised at the highest point of the castle. This was a more decent way to avoid war than raising the white flag. According to the <Human War Convention> of this era, it was a sign that the castle was a non-military target and undefended.
Sure enough, after the blue and green flags were raised in the castle, the war airship flying towards the castle slightly turned in a direction and began to fly towards Black Flame City.
Captain Colin looked in the direction of Black Flame City silently, with a slightly sad expression. Jerome pushed the door open and entered with two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine in his hands.
Captain Colin was slightly stunned, "Where did you get it?"
"The castle commander's office!"
"That place is locked. If you go in without permission, you may have to go to Military Tribunal..."
"I picked the lock!" Jerome said nonchalantly, "Do you think that person will have a chance to come back and unlock the office door? Or, do you want to leave these things to those bastards Norman Empire who came to receive them..."
Jerome said. He had already opened the wine bottle, put the cup on the table, and poured two glasses of wine. When the blood-red liquid in the wine glass calmed down, the two people in the room could notice that the liquid in the wine glass was trembling slightly.
"At least two hundred thousand, not only the Iron Horn Beast cavalry, but also the armored troops were dispatched. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big momentum!" Jerome sighed in admiration, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, "Iron Horn Legion bypassed Kachidun Defense Line, whom the alliance had worked hard for twenty years, and appeared behind Black Flame City in a circle. From Crescent Prairie, it cut into the abdomen of the alliance, and it was a beautiful and fierce left hook..."
Captain Colin stared hard at Jerome and said, "Asshole!" I don't know whether he was scolding Jerome or Norman Empire's Iron Horn Legion. After he finished this sentence, Captain Colin didn't pick up the wine glass, but directly grabbed the bottle and started drinking.
"Norman Empire dares to make such a big move without any scruples. They must have compromised with the Sun God Dynasty. Maybe at this time, Sun God Dynasty's legion is also marching towards Silansa City! "Jerome took a sip of red wine and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Andaman Alliance These guys who do small business are finished. A hundred rabbits get together and they are still a bunch of rabbits. Seventeen small business people get together and they can still only do small business!"
"Black Flame City's city wall is not so easy to break through. Coal and Steel Union has put a lot of effort into Black Flame City's defense over the years. If we really want to fight, Norman Empire cannot defeat Black Flame City without paying a considerable price!" Captain Colin said solemnly.
"Colin, don't you understand, for those people in Coal and Steel Union, this is not a question of whether they can, but a question of whether they dare or not. Put down your so-called sense of honor as soldiers!" Jerome's mouth It became spicy, "You have to believe me, at this time, the only thing those guys who do small business think about is not the bullshit sense of dignity and honor, but how to negotiate with the Norman Empire people to ensure the maximum safety of their property and give them They don't have the guts to do anything with the Norman Empire's people at this time. As long as they have an excuse, Northern Frontier Governor of the Norman Empire will crush these guys to pieces without hesitation, and then kill them again. Take all the family wealth that we have accumulated for decades and wait for the news. As long as Norman Empire's army surrounds Black Flame City, in a few days, we will all be subjects of Emperor Norman Empire..."
"Damn it!" Captain Colin became depressed, took a few more sips of wine, and then looked at Jerome, "How much did you get?"
"What?" This time it was Jerome's turn and he didn't react for a moment.
"No matter how much wine you get from that office, I want half of it!" One-Eyed Dragon said domineeringly...
When the vanguard of the Iron Horn Legion's cavalry approached and was only fifteen kilometers away from Black Flame City, the only floating lookout airship in Black Flame City discovered the rolling torrent in the distance and the huge airship in the sky.
The shrill war sirens and air defense sirens rang instantly in Black Flame City. Several city gates of Black Flame City were closed at the same time.
On the city wall of Black Flame City, all the soldiers and officers who rushed to the defense posts on the city wall, including Zhang Tie's brother, looked at the flood of cavalry in the distance, and everyone's faces turned pale.
Norman Empire's people are coming! Iron Horn Legion's army is coming!
When the war alarm sounded, Zhang Tie's father was in the factory, and Zhang Tie's mother and sister-in-law were at home. Many citizens of Black Flame City were still standing stupidly on the street.
As soon as Zhang Tie's father heard the alarm, he dropped what he was doing and started to run outside the factory. He saw several Xiao Qing years in the factory who didn't seem to understand what was going on. Zhang Tie's father grabbed the two Xiao Qing years beside him and ran out with him.
"What happened!"
"This is a war alert and an air raid alert. Hurry, leave the factory..." Zhang Tie's father shouted, and many people's expressions changed and they ran outside together. If there is really an air raid, these factories will be the key targets. At this time, it is safer to be in an open place.
Zhang Tie's mother and sister-in-law immediately hid in the underground shelter dug at home.
People on the street began to panic, and Black Flame City also became confused...
Zhang Tie is rushing to Wild Wolf Castle at this time...
