Monta Marce looked at the emperor with unwillingness and anger. Since the aristocrats failed to form a new alliance to fight against the Reve Magic Empire, especially after the Holy Trinity Castle began to gradually send out the noble children's gifts that failed the priests and paladins assessments, he planned to find an acceptable contract for his family.
The two young men, Sheila and Langdon, with the halo of the Hall family, stood behind the powerful Emperor, but they were just fledgling children and were easily affected. Using their idea of ​​building achievements, Monta Marcelo made a subtle plan. He gathered a group of little nobles who were frightened by the emperor and became the leaders of these people, and then gave himself a better position of negotiation by betraying the interests of the little nobles.
He left the family's castle, so he could continue to control the only land passage across the river. This was a stable source of wealth and a guarantee of future political status. His thoughts and actions were not very clever, but Sheila and Langdon had signed an agreement, so he had already achieved a phased victory. Among the nobles, whether it was brilliant or not was not important, the result was only important. However, he did not expect the emperor's reaction to be so great and so quickly.
"I want to unify the entire Yongli Continent, and formal unification is completed within two years at the latest." Feiqi took out his magic wand, and a little in the air, showing a topographic map of the entire Yongli Continent. "In terms of area, Qiaodu City is only a little more than one-third of the distance, but in terms of population, plus the surrounding radiation areas, it is almost 40%, close to half. When anything exceeds half, its meaning is different."
"Next year, I will start this attack." Feiqi waved his wand and drew several lines in the phantom map in the air. "Bashidu City will become a transit point for supplies and the rear of the wounded's treatment. At the same time, it will inevitably become an important target for all opponents' attacks. If you want to stay there, I promise that if the battle happens, none of your entire family can leave Bashidu City. But even so, I don't want you to stay there. A very simple reason: I can't believe you."
"It's just the greatest insult to a nobleman. And there has never been any unhonest thing in the history of our Marce family! We have never celebrated the festival with the Hall family."
Fitch nodded and admitted that Monta was right: "But I just don't trust you, there is no need to talk about this. The Marce family flourished because of the important geographical location of Bridgedu City, and maintained power and independence in the nearby areas. This has lasted for three hundred years, which is enough. Now, of course, you have the right to die in order to defend the glory of the past, and you can get out of my plan and avoid me from quarrels."
Monta Marce slapped the table hard, then overturned it, and the cup and plate of fruit drinks spread all over the ground. He looked at Fitch in anger. If there was a sword at hand, he would have been pulled out at this time. But after entering the palace, his arms were left to the guards for safekeeping and could not be brought into the emperor's room. The noise inside the house was so loud, but no one came in. Monta found that it was not only his guard, but also His Majesty's guards did not come in. What does this mean?
"Release your anger. There are weapons on the wall over there. The two huge axes are often maintained. Their sharpness is reliable and they can split a horse from the middle." The contempt revealed in Feich's eyes was clearly visible, and it hurt Monta even more deeply. "If you don't have the courage, I can help you again, for example..."
"Stop!" Monta said suddenly: "You will have the city of Bridge, that castle and that bridge, but you will never have the hearts of Bridge. You will not be trusted by the nobles, nor will you be loved by you. You are a bastard!"
Feiqi closed his eyes gently, took a breath, and slowly opened it: "Coward."
"Oh, that word doesn't work for me, you just want to anger me. As the emperor, you lose your demeanor, self-esteem and self-discipline, and you are the cowards. The Revi Magic Empire is essentially just a sand castle built on power. You are strong, but you can't always be the strongest."
"You're right. Is there anything else to add?"
"You will get the Bridge Castle, because the reality has not changed. The Marce family cannot resist the Knights of Hell, nor can they resist your threat. But I did not fail because I pulled off your fake face at the cost of a castle. I believe that there is justice and justice in this world, and what you do today will inevitably backfire with you." Monta snorted coldly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, can I take my leave?"
"Let's go." Feichi waved his hand, and there was no joy on his face.
Monta slammed the door and left, and the intelligence chief Mathers hurried in. He walked quickly to Fitch, bent down deeply, waiting for the storm from His Majesty the Emperor.
"Who did Monta bring to Tawugang City this time?" Feiqi asked.
Mathers was shocked. Some very bad possibilities suddenly popped up, most of which were mixed with blood of murder. "He brought three of his four sons, all two daughters. Monta's two younger brothers also came, both of them in the Marce family. According to my information, he came this time with the idea of ​​connecting with other old nobles, especially in business."
"So who else is in Qiaodu City?"
Should I take hostages or let the Hell Knights teleport and slaughter the city? Mathers didn't dare to think too much. He tried to control his emotions and tone and said, "The Marce family has about twenty relatives, and about twenty family knights are still in Qiaodu City. The permanent troops there are about one hundred and twenty, and the entourages, apprentices knights and family servants who can be armed will be up to four hundred."
Feiqi thought for a while and said, "You go to find Good, just tell me my order to mobilize a batch of roads, bridges and disaster relief supplies to transport them to the camp of the Hell Knights, and it will be completed tonight. I will ask Tron to assign some guards to you. When you hear the news, you will understand what to do. Follow the Hell Knights to rescue the disaster, and then control the local situation until I ask you to come back. This mission is a punishment for you, so don't fail again."
Mathers nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to do my best."
After sending him away, Feiqi stood quietly in the living room for a while, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the problem. After that, he habitually reached out to the cat-touch stick, but he suddenly retracted it halfway, as if he was electrocuted. The cat-touch stick made a confused expression, but Feiqi did not answer it, but turned the old wand and turned into a red line of fire to rush into the sky.
The cat-knitting stick could only stay in place, watching the thin red lines stay away. This red line was a trace of Feiqi sliding in the gaps in the space, which everyone could see, but no one could touch. The thin line flew in the sky and extended for a long time, but Feiqi only took a few blinks to reach the destination. In front of him was a big river with rapid flow, and the moonlight and starlight blocked by the clouds could only barely reflect a faint light on the river surface, and the quiet night sky made the roar of the river even more noisy.
Fitch slowly lowered his height and finally stopped to a few meters away from the river. This was a river full of dangerous vortexes, with no ferries, no fishermen, and no villages on both sides, so there were no witnesses. He pointed at the river with his old wand, then opened the magic matrix and entered the spells about water element control and space transmission.
A purple beam of light shot out from the top of the old magic wand and crashed into the river, making a loud thunderous sound. In an instant, the river was broken, like a heavy punch, running from the river to the position close to the bottom. Following the river water, the water surface in front of the fault location - only in front - suddenly rose higher, like twice the river water superimposed together.
This strange wave was pushing forward and also falling backwards, trying to fill the fault, but the second thunder appeared. Feiqi used water element control and space spell to change the state of the river waves, turning the relatively stable slow wave into a steep wave like a mountain canyon. He applied pressure to the river water, just like a pile driver constantly smashing hard, this pressure with a specific frequency would move in the direction of the water flow and release it when encountering obstacles.
The artificially created shock waves are unstoppable. For Qiaodu Castle, the thunder sounds in the upstream direction are far away and unreal, but the continuous waves are becoming clearer and clearer.
The docks on both sides of the river bank were all destroyed, and even the ships tied to the shore were directly pulled off the ropes by the strange waves and dragged them down. All the buildings and ships were torn apart, turning into large or small wreckage of wood, pushed by the waves to rush downstream.
There are many people who fall into the water in the torrent. They want to shout, but a wave will become silent. No matter how good the water is, people cannot fight this flood, and there is no hope of survival - unless they are moved to the shore by Feiqi using spells.
Fitch followed the torrent he created invisible, and his flight speed was much faster than the movement of the river. He let the fantasy snake Koktal drill underwater, so it was easy to see those drowning people. He waited until the fallen water fainted and would rescue him, control the water flow and throw them onto the river bank, and try to throw them to the place where people gathered. The first wave of flood peak was the most dangerous because many people were not prepared when they arrived. The subsequent waves were rarely rolled down unless someone jumped on their own initiative.
At night, Qiaodu City is a line of lights spanning the river surface. Torches and oil lamps outline the outline of the bridge and the castle. Feiqi looked at the river water and the front part had passed the last river crossing pier before Qiaodu City, and then it should be a flat river. So he accelerated his flight and came to Qiaodu Castle in advance. The guards here had heard the abnormal aquatic life, but they could not see the river surface in the dark at all.
Feiqi said something softly in a soldier's ear, and the young soldier shuddered, then rushed to the alarm bell at the top of the city, pulled off the safety cover, grabbed the rope, and used all his strength to shake it. Before anyone could stop him, another soldier shuddered, holding the horn and blew it hard, sending out the most urgent alarm signal.
The entire castle suddenly came alive, but it was like a dreamer who had just woken up, and there was some confusion left behind by sleep. They prepared according to the enemy's attack, and more and more soldiers, knights and servants left the room, picked up weapons, and rushed to the city wall. Those who could not fight were also pulled up, wrapped in large inlaid leather armor, and then taken to a safe room.
"Look! Look at the river surface! What are those white ones?"
The white ones are the waves, and the dark black ones are the buildings and wreckages that were dragged into the water before. They are powerful siege troops, crashes and siege hammers, and suicide squads. Everyone exclaimed that the city gate that had just been rolled up was asked to be put down. The people in Qiaodu City live by the river. Who doesn’t know the nature of the water, and who doesn’t understand the appearance and power of the river when it gets angry?
"Quickly, leave the castle and go to the shore! Go to the shore!"
Without a horse, it was too late to run the entire bridge with both legs. The first torrent rushed over and hit the bridge base, and did not let go of the castle on the center island. Everyone felt their bodies tilted for a moment, and then they spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
The water is soft and changes itself according to the environment. They pass by; the wreckage is hard and hard, stuck on the bridge and on the shore, and then a second wave comes. Something breaks, and this feeling is very wonderful. No one hears the sound, but it just feels like this. People shout frantically, asking the people who rushed to the bridge deck to retreat. They suddenly feel that the castles on the central island are much safer than the two bridges.
In the third impact, all the windows on the side of the castle facing upstream were broken, and huge cracks extended outward from the window frames, forming ugly spider webs on the walls. The flower pots originally placed on the windows fell down, and they hit the walls, and the ground and fell into the waves seemed silent - because the sound of the fourth impact was too loud.
Everyone was shocked. They could only watch the bridge deck break, and the wood debris upstream ate the stone bridge, and chewed out an insurmountable gap, but they all had the idea of ​​"this is taken for granted". The flood was filled with an unnatural feeling, because naturally there was no clear goal when he was angry, but these terrible waves were not.
The two bridges were destroyed, leaving only the approach bridge on the shore and a few bridge columns that appeared and disappeared in the flood. Almost all the bridge decks have gone downstream, and the river may be exposed again during the dry season. Now no one can care about the bridge, and the castle has become the next target of the flood.
The walls have begun to collapse, and every time bricks and stones fall, there will be screams. Everyone prays to the goddess not to take away their last place.
The castle kept falling, especially at the height close to the water surface. The flood continued to advance like an excavator, and the castle was fighting back with falling bricks and stones. Everyone in the city of Qiaodu looked at all this with a pale face. They found that their power was useless in this disaster. The casters who remained in the castle were also working hard, but when their spells hit the flood, they were like candles in a typhoon and were extinguished in an instant.
"Goddess! Save us!" they shouted at the top of their lungs, and then the sound was suppressed by the flood. Just as everyone was in panic all day long, the flood finally began to weaken and hope appeared.
Under the anticipated eyes of everyone, the water flow became slower and slower. Although the castle was still collapsing due to its own weight, it finally stopped the process. A few hours later, the river surface completely returned to its calm. The castle of the Marce family was still there, but anyone could see that it could no longer be used. Feiqi secretly controlled the spell and achieved this effect ingeniously.
Chapter completed!
