Three days later, in the city of Duriel.
The arrival and departure of Roddy did not have any impact on this bustling city. Most of the mages in the parliament knew about this news, but they could not understand his whereabouts. Therefore, no one mentioned anything about him in the subsequent discussions.
Jeremy seemed to have aged a few years since the reform plan of the parliament was rejected. Now, when he presided over the discussion, he was much less talkative. At this time, he knocked the wooden hammer and said, "Regarding the attack to recapture Rashai City, you should have seen the information sent by the frontline commander, Louis. Obviously, the enemy's defensive measures have some shortcomings. Therefore, Louis has proposed the following attack methods..."
This showed the deceptive side of the "parliament". When the magic circle could transmit information from the frontline in real time, the last bit of decision-making power of the commander was also given to the "parliament of mages". That was to say, every major decision had to be voted by the members of the parliament instead of the frontline commander.
On Earth, there was a saying that "when a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey the orders of the emperor". But in Lassman, it was completely the opposite. Although the mages in the room were extremely intelligent, they could easily understand how unreliable the decisions made by the "cloud commander" were.
However, the previous battles in Lassman were always won by the mages, so this flaw had always been covered up. Until now, it was too late to change it.
Now, looking at the bickering members of parliament, Jeremy felt powerless. One-third of them did not even know what Rashai City looked like, but they talked so eloquently as if they were there themselves. A battle that would decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people was like a child's play to them.
"If there is no other way, let's wait for the army of the Kingdom of Karen to arrive. The people in Rashai City have not been massacred yet. We can recapture it when the time comes. "
"Bullshit! Rashai City is so difficult to attack with only two thousand enemies. Do you think the Kingdom of Karen is an ancient beast that can sweep everything in its path? The city wall is seven meters high, and there are three layers inside and outside. Plus, there are anti-magic measures. How can you be so sure that you can take it? Do you think this is your backyard? "
"But we..."
"Beep —"
Before he could finish his sentence, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the council hall. All the mages were stunned for a moment, and looked up at the same time.
"Is … is it an attack alarm?"
"Damn it! Could it be that those fellows have attacked Duriel City? "
"Idiot! Do you have any concept? The enemy's advance troops were still 500 kilometers away yesterday. How could they fly over without a sound! "
"Speaker Jeremy, is this a false alarm? Or did something go wrong with the array? "
The representatives from the various academies regained their composure after a brief moment of panic. Jeremy remained silent with a frown on his face. He turned to the attendant who was running over from the door and said, "Calm down. Tell me what happened."
The attendant's expression was indescribably blank. He stood in the middle of the hall and stammered, "The … the alarm came from the … from the watchtower by the sea. It said that …"
Everyone's expressions were tense, because the fear brought about by the "Primordial Behemoth" was not something that could dissipate in a few months.
"Discovered what?"
"An unknown object is approaching from the sky!"
"In the sky? Floating-Space Tower? Dragons? "
"Could it be some kind of magical beast migration?"
"No — it's also possible … Wait, what's that sound?"
Jeremy waved his hand and the echoing alarm came to an abrupt stop. The noisy council hall fell silent for a few seconds as everyone heard a strange buzzing sound coming from above. Jeremy did not say anything and began to walk out. The other representatives looked at each other and quickly followed him out of the council hall through the various exits …
The buzzing sound made them raise their heads. There seemed to be a few black dots flying over from the distant sea.
"This is …"
Someone used a spell to observe and his expression changed. "It's not a living thing, it's like … a machine?!"
"Floating-Space Tower?"
"Impossible! There's no way a Floating-Space Tower can fly so fast! "
As the discussion went on, the black figure crossed the coastline and flew over Duriel City. The sound of the propellers was abnormally clear. The huge 'Albatross' transport plane was just a small black dot in everyone's eyes. Beside it, there were two reconnaissance planes guarding on both sides. The triangular formation of one big and two small brought an unimaginable impact to the mages below.
Because it did not intend to land here, it was flying at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. The mages below had no idea how high this altitude was. Even if the mages of Lachman used the "Levitation Spell" or researched the "Floating-Space Tower" that could fly, no one had ever exceeded the altitude of 2,000 meters.
"Mr. President, we should use the defense circle of the Floating-Space Tower to stop them —"
A councilor reflexively said this, and the people around him immediately agreed with him. Lassman was the ruler of this continent, and it would be a disgrace to the "Mage Country" to allow such an unknown flying machine to fly over their heads.
But Jeremy's face was full of shock. As one of the people who had the most knowledge about the Kingdom of Karen, he immediately realized what had just flown over!
"Is there any news from Mithran?"
He did not pay attention to the people's request to "stop the aircraft" and turned to the servant beside him.
The servant was surprised and immediately went to ask. Not long after, he came back with a piece of paper. "Mr. President, Ambassador Mithran sent us a message this morning, but because of the meeting, she did not —"
"Give it to me."
Jeremy opened the paper with a serious face and saw Mithran scribbling three paragraphs, the core of which was the news that "the Kingdom of Karen has begun to move."
Because Hollier City was not far from the military airport of Paar, when the plane took off yesterday afternoon, Jeremy and the other representatives heard the sound of the propellers. He thought it was just a routine training, so he did not take it seriously. But when he saw the newspaper in Hollier this morning, he realized that the Kingdom of Karen had officially sent troops!
Troops were dispatched!
It was not a ship that needed to sail for a month, but a plane!
Jeremy felt his head was buzzing, and the almost distorted handwriting made him feel the shock in Mithran's heart. "Mr. President, members of the parliament, I don't know if this huge aircraft can successfully fly across the sea. The only thing I'm sure of is that when I heard the news, they should have been flying for about eight hours."
In other words, these planes had crossed the sea in less than 16 hours, which would take a month to sail.
