Chapter 163

To make her behave like this under the Lord's gaze?!

How dare I? How dare I? How dare I?!

A bunch of inferior creatures, a bunch of bastards, a bunch of... scum.

On the deck of the warship Xiu Tina, her eyes bloodshot, was swaying her half-body body and letting out a frenzied roar.

That posture... if Zuo Jian had seen it in person, he would probably have been struck by how exactly it resembled that of the deceased Bishop Quintus.

However... this time, the other person admires themselves.

High in the sky, Wellington's eyes widened in astonishment; the elderly duke had never witnessed such a scene before.

Just now, a high-speed warship sprouted four legs and then charged towards the city wall like a mad dog?!

"... Am I dreaming, Your Excellency who calls yourself the Dragonblood Duke?"

"No..."

Zuo Jian's expression was also somewhat subtle at this moment.

Damn it, wasn't he supposed to just have these guys keep the warship in this shape and slowly move forward?

What's the situation now?

Why did he suddenly go crazy and rush over?!

And.

If he wasn't mistaken, this speed... it's unbelievable.

This thing seems to have no intention of braking at all; it just interrupted and crashed into the border of Victoria?!

Zuo Jian, watching the land-based warship crawling on the ground, sensed something was wrong, and seeing the latter seemingly about to...

They swatted away all the incoming shells like flies.

He needs to figure out how to clean up his mess.

Zuo Jian sighed. Sure enough, entrusting such matters to those flesh and blood was completely unreliable!

Chapter 121, You've done enough.

"Damn it, is the next artillery reload complete?!"

"Report: Loading complete!"

"Fire!!!"

With the commander's roar, the surrounding cannon barrels once again erupted with intense light and heat.

However, this round of artillery fire had no effect whatsoever, like raindrops hitting a towering city wall.

The deformed metal bullets, accompanied by a series of sounds and sparks from friction, fell to the ground one after another.

These cannon shots couldn't even slightly slow down the high-speed warship, which resembled a berserk monster, let alone stop it!

In just a few breaths, the tremors caused by the enemy's four feet gripping the ground spread to every soldier on the city wall.

"Sir... Sir, there's no time to reload the next round of shells... It's going to ram us!!"

The on-site commander climbed the city wall and looked at the enormous monster that was raising billowing dust not far away.

Almost instinctively, he gasped.

But soon, reason told him that there was absolutely no room for retreat in the current situation.

Because of this damned Catastrophes cloud, they didn't even know if the message they sent had reached the garrisons in the various inland areas.

Once this place is breached, given the monster's charging speed... the armies under the other dukes in the interior, those decadent and dissolute fellows... will undoubtedly be swept aside by this monster's charge, and then advance all the way to the heart of Victoria...

"All troops—move away from the assault point! Infantry, equip all with Breach Spear! Sorcerers, switch to piercing-enhanced Arts Unit! Crossbowmen, equip all with grenade launchers!"

"We absolutely cannot let this monster get into the interior!!!"

"Defend this city wall to the death!!!"

The commander's voice was transmitted to every soldier's walkie-talkie via short-range communication equipment, and at the same time, he himself charged up the Breach Spear.

There's no need for a commander anymore; it's clear to everyone that the only thing they can do now is to do everything in their power to prevent that monster from setting foot on Victoria's borders...

"Yes!!!!"

The city's garrison soldiers shouted, raised their weapons, and waited to engage the monster in close combat.

Although they knew that facing a high-speed warship with their bare hands... especially one with outstretched legs and incredible agility, they had almost no chance of winning.

However, the soldiers present clearly showed no fear.

The leading commander watched nervously as the dust-raising figure drew closer and grew larger.

Cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and he subconsciously swallowed.

His rough, large hands began to caress the handguard of the Breach Spear, just as he was preparing to face the onslaught of the city walls...

Swish!!!

A dark figure plummeted from the sky, and the shockwave it created made the commander tremble involuntarily for a moment.

However, just as he realized that the city wall was about to be rammed by the high-speed warship, the black figure simply raised his hand, gesturing for a stop.

In an instant, the monster's limbs seemed to freeze in place! The commander stared in disbelief at the enormous monster, which could only be felt from the city wall, and found it to be only a few meters away from the wall.

That's it...?

"To be honest, your soldiers have exceeded my expectations. The fact that they were able to mount a reasonable counterattack is commendable, not to mention that they even tried to risk their lives to stop the enemy in this situation."

The commander noticed that the man had turned his head slightly, as if he were speaking to someone.

"That's natural. I've always considered my army my proudest children, and I certainly understand their immense potential."

He watched as a familiar figure slowly emerged from beside the black-clad figure.

The Iron Duke slowly walked up to the city wall, stroked his beard, and wore a very proud expression.

To be honest, even he himself was a little overwhelmed by monsters of that level. After all, he was getting old, and besides, he had never seen such a powerful and impactful scene when he was young.

Therefore, it is clear that the city garrison's response exceeded Wellington's own expectations.

After silently feeling a surge of emotion for the soldiers he had led, he glanced again at the enormous, bizarre warship that seemed to have been frozen in time at the edge of the city wall.

Wellington actually had a very clear understanding of himself and Victoria.

He was well aware of the average level of Victoria's army, and he was also very clear that the troops he had led were already considered elite.

However, even when faced with such a monster, all they could probably do was desperately try to slow it down.

Not to mention.

His gaze drifted further into the distance.

The crimson steam armor remained where it had been.

Only that warship went "mad" for a moment and charged towards the city wall.

Wellington couldn't possibly just assume that...

Those red armors were merely decorative.

Without a doubt, the other side did not reveal their full strength at all.

But even with just that, their own elite troops were rendered so humiliated.

Not to mention other countries... Apart from Ursus and Great Yan, the other countries are probably in an even worse state than our side.

"You seem to be thinking about something, Your Grace."

Zuo Jian stood beside Wellington with his hands Zuo Jian his back, watching the high-speed warship that was so close at hand.

"... I'm just lamenting that an unpredictable storm suddenly appeared on the once calm lake surface. Thinking about it, quite a few ships must have been swept away."

Perhaps.

"However, thank you. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to help this outwardly strong but inwardly weak ship find its footing in the storm ahead of time."

Wellington turned and extended his hand to the Zuo Jian.

"He calls himself Della... oh no, look at me, so senile, I can't even speak properly anymore."

"Drak, whose bloodline is in the blood of royalty, is Your Highness the Dragonblood Duke."

Zuo Jian smiled slightly and grasped Wellington's hand.

"Yes, thank you for acknowledging it, but for now, let's..."

"General, what are you doing here! And... what is this monster...?"

The commander walked up to Wellington and shouted in disbelief.

"Explain this to your men, Iron Duke."

Zuo Jian patted Wellington on the shoulder and then jumped from the edge of the city wall directly onto the four-legged warship outside.

He still has things to do.

Wellington glanced at the commander in front of him.

If he remembered correctly, this young commander had no combat experience. He was originally transferred here to temporarily take over the position of the previous commander, a veteran who had fought alongside the Iron Duke in the Four Emperors War.

Although he was undoubtedly confident in the talent his army had cultivated, his ability to maintain such calm judgment in the very first battle was truly awe-inspiring.

"Don't be nervous, soldier."

Wellington patted the commander on the shoulder, a long-absent smile appearing on his face.

"This was just a temporary drill."

"A temporary... drill?"

The commander looked at the group of monsters frozen in place with disbelief.

This thing... isn't an enemy?

He turned his head again and looked at the Duke's happy appearance, as if he really didn't feel any urgency.

"Then we..."

"You've done enough."

"Get ready to celebrate! You did a great job, and every soldier here did a great job."

Wellington patted the commander on the shoulder again, while scanning each soldier on the city wall with a proud gaze.

Well, if it were the Ursus army instead, they probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Wellington was undoubtedly a general with a clear understanding of the situation, and for these soldiers, the battle was truly commendable.

Meanwhile...

Inside that high-speed, flesh-and-blood warship.

The Zuo Jian slowly entered the area of the main control room.

At this moment, the surrounding area, completely covered in blood and flesh, appeared dark and viscous.

He stepped out and entered.

Soon, his gaze fell upon a white-haired girl curled up in a corner, with only her upper body remaining.

The latter was curled up on the floor, trembling and uttering weak whispers.

"He was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed, he was disappointed."

"I am a useless creation... I am a useless creation."

Xiu Tina covered her head with both hands, repeatedly muttering to herself as if she had collapsed.

Even Zuo Jian didn't notice him coming in.

"To be honest, you've done a great job. Thinking about it carefully, just being able to build a warship is already beyond my imagination. There's no need to blame yourself so much, Xiu Tina."

His voice rang in Xiu Tina's ear, and he patted her on the shoulder at the same time.

"?!?!"

"You... it's you?! You saw it, this... this ridiculous pose of mine..."

"Is it laughable? Well, it's just a little strange, considering it's only half a body left."
