Even if the southwest province's Governor Manor had reacted quickly enough, sending reinforcements to Beautiful Gauze City as soon as they received the news, they were limited by the speed of communication. When the reinforcements arrived outside Beautiful Gauze City, it was already four days after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards had taken Beautiful Gauze City.
This batch of reinforcements was a mix of three regiments that had been stationed in the southwest province for a long time. There were over fifty thousand soldiers, so it could be seen how important this invasion was to the southwest province's Governor Manor.
The reason why the 50,000 soldiers were able to rush here from the Southwest Province's provincial capital, which was more than 300 kilometers away from Meiluo City, was also because they had received strict orders from the governor's office to take back Meiluo City from the enemy as soon as possible.
After all, the Kandla Empire hadn't been invaded by enemies other than the Malor Empire in several hundred years, there had even been a case of a city being broken through. Now that such a serious case had occurred in the southwest province, the southwest province's Governor Manor was under a very heavy pressure.
However, when the fifty thousand reinforcements arrived outside Meiro City, they couldn't even approach the city walls. They were forced to stop three kilometers away from the city walls by the incomparably dense cannon fire, not being able to move forward at all.
"What kind of fucking battle is this!"
The commander of the reinforcements, Marquis Dinatale, looked at the huge craters in the ground in front of him. He then looked at Meiro City, which was barely visible in the distance. He angrily threw his sword to the ground.
After leading the reinforcements here, he had already launched four attacks on Meiro City.
However, each time they moved out, they would be hit by the powerful Magic Cannons that covered the sky from Meiro City. After paying a large price, they still couldn't break through this tight blockade and reach Meiro City.
During this entire battle, not to mention fighting the enemy, they didn't even see the enemy's shadow!
As for reaching the goal of taking back Meiro City as soon as possible, that was simply a fantasy.
"Sir, it seems like it's not a good idea to attack from this direction.
According to the reports, the New Flyer only sent out five thousand guards this time. We should make use of our superior numbers and split up to attack Meiro City.
As long as we charge into Meiro City, the powerful military magic machines of the New Flyer Guards won't be of any use, "the staff officer suggested to Dinatale Marquis.
Dinatale Marquis pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After that, he summoned the other commanders of the reinforcements and had a meeting to discuss the battle plan. After that, the fifty thousand reinforcements were divided into four groups. One of the groups, twenty thousand men, would remain and continue to be led by Dinatale Marquis. They would continue to exert pressure on Meiro City in the north of the city.
The other three groups split into three groups, circling around Meiluo City and attacking from three different directions.
With the strength of the New Flyer's guards, it would be very difficult for them to deal with attacks from four directions.
As long as the reinforcements could enter Meiro City, it would be difficult for the New Flyer Guards to fully utilize their advantage in military magic machines, allowing the reinforcements to fully utilize their advantage in numbers.
However ….. the plan was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Marquis Dinatale was still leading the remaining twenty thousand reinforcements to stay where they were, waiting for the other three reinforcements to send the signal to attack at the same time. Suddenly, a dark cloud flew over from the southwest direction, almost covering the entire sky.
Dinatale Marquis and the other leaders of the reinforcements looked up and their expressions all changed.
The dark cloud in the sky was clearly formed by Magic Airships!
To be able to form such a large shadow in the sky, with a rough look, there were at least fifty of them!
Dinatale Marquis didn't have time to think about where these Magic Airships came from, he immediately ordered the magicians of the army to attack.
Everyone knew that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's Magic Airships could keep flying in the air, so they could attack them from above.
The only ones who could threaten the Magic Airships were the magicians who could also fly.
But when the magicians of the army were halfway up, they saw several dazzling beams of light coming from the Magic Airships.
These beams of light were incomparably thick and fast. The magicians who were flying up couldn't dodge them at all and could only take them head-on.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, the magic shields that these advanced mages had put up vanished like bubbles under the illumination of the light beam.
Seeing the magicians in the sky fall down like kites with their strings cut, Dinatale Marquis' heart sunk bit by bit.
Even the magicians couldn't do a thing to the Magic Airships, wouldn't they just be beaten?
However, what Dinatale Marquis didn't expect was that after the Magic Airships shot down the magicians and flew above the reinforcements, they didn't move at all. They just silently floated in the air like they were watching a play.
Dinatale Marquis and the other generals of the reinforcements were a bit confused.
With the absolute advantage of the Magic Airships in the air, if they wanted to take care of them, it wouldn't take any effort at all. But now that the Magic Airships were acting like this, what did they want to do?
Dinatale Marquis took a pair of binoculars and carefully looked it over. After confirming that the Magic Airships above them did indeed come from the New Flyer, he felt even more confused.
After thinking for a bit, he turned to look at Meiro City in the distance and suddenly understood something.
After shoving the binoculars into the arms of his adjutant, Marquis Dinatale mounted his beloved warhorse and gestured for his subordinates not to follow him. He then slowly rode his horse toward Meiro City in the distance.
As expected, seeing that he was riding alone, the Meiro City side didn't fire any Magic Cannons, allowing him to quickly arrive at Meiro City.
"Is there the leader of the New Flyer guards up there?
Can you come down to talk? "Dinatale Marquis looked up at the tall walls of Meiro City as he shouted.
After a while, three figures jumped down from the walls and landed in front of Dinatale Marquis.
The two silhouettes landed gracefully, as if they were leaves drifting down without a sound.
The other figure fell like a giant rock, creating a large "peng" sound that was very shocking.
Marquis Dinatale calmed himself down and dismounted from his horse. His gaze swept across the faces of the three figures, and he realized that the two graceful figures were two male elves, while the one with the frightening aura was a brawny human.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Dewein Dinatale Marquis, the commander of the reinforcements. May I ask which one of you is the person in charge of the New Flyer?" Dinatale Marquis asked.
"Oh?
I never thought that sir Marquis would personally come, it really is a surprise. "That large human man laughed before pointing at himself.
"I am the person in charge here, as well as the captain of the New Flyer guards, Hart."
"Captain Hart, is it?"
Dinatale Marquis looked at the two male elves who were also wearing the uniform of the New Flyer guards and tactfully didn't ask. After pausing, he continued, "I want to ask, what is the goal of your operation this time?"
"Sir Marquis, your question is a bit strange.
Isn't what we're doing very obvious?
We're invading your Kandla Empire.
Look, the Meiro City behind us is the first city we're attacking. We'll be attacking one city after another before finally attacking your capital, Wimbledon City. "
"You're lying!"
Dinatale Marquis looked at captain Hart with a sunken look before turning to point at the several dozen Magic Airships in the sky.
"If this is your goal, why aren't those fellows moving?
You clearly don't have any intention of wiping us out. "
Captain Hart gave a shrug, "No, you're mistaken.
Sir Marquis, we just don't want to waste our precious ammunition on opponents that aren't worth mentioning.
Of course, if sir Marquis is stupid enough, we don't mind teaching you and your subordinates a deep lesson. "
Marquis Dinatale took in a deep breath. It took him a lot of effort to suppress the raging flames of fury that were rising in his heart.
He had personally led an army of fifty thousand elites, but they weren't even worth mentioning in the eyes of these fellows?
This was simply the greatest insult to him!
However, he had no choice but to admit this fact.
Whether it was the repeated setbacks when they attacked Beautiful City or the appearance of the Magic Airships that he couldn't do anything about, it all showed that even if the army he led had a large advantage in terms of numbers, they couldn't resist at all in a real battle.
It was like captain Hart said, if they really wanted to, just with the fifty Magic Airships in the sky, they wouldn't be able to resist at all. In the end, they might not even be able to escape.
The other side didn't do this because they had another goal.
Or perhaps it was like captain Hart's words had implied, that their reinforcements were just opponents that weren't worth mentioning. Then who was their real opponent?
"Sir Marquis, you can go back.
We aren't interested in wiping you out, so if you want to retreat or stay outside Meiro City to watch the play, it's up to you.
But I must warn you, don't try to approach Meiro City. Otherwise, I won't mind teaching you another lesson. "Captain Hart suddenly said with a cold face.
Marquis Dinatale was stunned. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at Captain Hart with a gloomy face.
"I don't know what you want to do, but I'm warning you, you are playing with fire!"
"Playing with fire?" Captain Hart laughed, "Perhaps you're right.
But playing with fire doesn't always lead to self-destruction, right? "
After saying this, Captain Hart gestured for them to go ahead.
Dinatale Marquis took a deep look at him before giving a snort. He turned to get on his horse and quickly left.
