Marsola did not care about the security measures of the port. As he spiraled down through the white clouds, he tried his best to look at the sea in the distance. Unsurprisingly, he saw a fleet slowly approaching.
Although it did not have the astonishing size of Lessiman's flagship, the "Boratini", the fleet that Roddy bought from Lessiman, under the protection of more than ten modified transport ships, already showed an impressive aura. Compared to the small ships docked in the port, this fleet could definitely be called a "behemoth".
When he was about to reach the ground, Marsola heard the faint sound of a bell coming from the port. He did not know if it was for the distant fleet or the paratroopers … But this was no longer important. On the open space of the port, there were black smoke torches lit by the intelligence agency personnel ten minutes ago. Three hundred special forces soldiers divided into three batches began to descend one after another. Marsola, who had learned from the previous lesson, did not try to glide at low altitude. Instead, he directly dived down from above the target location and then landed on the ground unscathed with his strong physique.
After he landed, he immediately spread out to the sides to make space for his teammates behind him to land. Before the "Albatross" took off, Marsola had already memorized the map of the entire port and the key points of the mission. So, like the other team members, he immediately ran towards the mission destination without gathering. Pulling out his knuckles, Marsola ran while scanning the scene in the port.
The special forces that descended from the sky brought great fear to the people in the port. After all, with so many fully armored soldiers charging in in broad daylight, anyone would feel afraid … So the people in his field of vision were generally fleeing in panic. His ears were filled with noisy shouts such as "murder", "pirate attack", "run for your lives" and so on.
Obviously, none of them thought that this would be an attack from Eiffta.
Marsola did not care about the civilians running past him. He just pushed away the people in front of him and ran along the narrow road until he reached a military camp. More than forty teammates were following behind him. Marsola looked back and saw that Erwin, who was holding a sword and shield, had reached out to pull up the mask of his helmet and made a "charge" gesture at him.
Marsola nodded and held his knuckles with both hands. With a roar, he completely transformed. His huge body leaped out of the corner of the street and then directly rushed into the panicked military camp.
After the alarm rang, the soldiers in the barracks hurriedly put on their armor and prepared for battle amid the shouts of the sergeants. However, the port of the imperial city had never been attacked by other forces for many years. The barracks, which had less than 300 people in total, was originally a 'personal guard' under the command of the royal family. Their biggest role was to act as a guard of honor when they welcomed Lassiman's envoy fleet.
If there was a real battle, it would be the royal family's matter. But at this time, the "Darth", "Ocean Empress", and "Magnificent Treasures" that were anchored at the port had not prepared for battle at all. Most of the crew were on the shore …
So when Marsola's huge body rushed into the military camp, the soldiers who had not even put on their armor scattered in fear on the spot. The sergeants who tried to rush up were directly knocked away by Marsola. He used his violent strength to tear down a door and raised it to block a few arrows from both sides. Then, he led Erwin and the others behind him and directly rushed through the entire military camp!
A few archers who occupied the high ground did not even have the chance to shoot their next round of arrows before the soldiers at the back of the special forces directly shot through them with their crossbows. There was no suspense in the subsequent battle. Be it in terms of strength or equipment, the special forces completely crushed the special forces and quickly gained control of the military camp without losing a single person.
After that, Erwin took out a signal scroll and cast it into the air.
Marsola had already returned to his original form. He quickly climbed to the top of the tower at the northeast corner of the military camp. When he looked in the direction of the port, a red signal from another small team also rose into the air. This meant that they had successfully controlled the port and prevented most of the sailors from returning to the ship.
He turned back and made a tactical gesture to Captain Erwin, indicating that "Mission completed". But halfway through his action, he stopped … because a ship in the distance had forcibly raised its sails and weighed the anchor, slowly leaving the port amidst the shouts and crossfire of arrows.
Marsola made another gesture, telling Erwin that "one ship has escaped". But the latter only nodded to indicate that he understood without any extra expression.
Marsola continued to stand guard at the corner of the tower. He had excellent eyesight and the high visibility of the port, so he could see the approaching Eiferta fleet at a glance.
The warship that escaped from the port was called "Sea Empress". Because of its slender body, protruding front and relatively light tonnage, after raising its sails, it moved abnormally fast. In just a few minutes, it left the sea near the port and then turned its bow to the east. It seemed like it wanted to escape to a few other small ports in the southeast corner of the kingdom.
But before it left Marsola's sight, the Eiferta fleet that surrounded the "Sea Empress" directly blocked all the escape routes of the "Sea Empress".
Navigating on the sea required the use of flag signals to communicate. Marsora did not really understand what the flags meant, but he soon saw the Eiferta fleet, which was originally lined up in two vertical rows, slowly move sideways. When they were about a kilometer away from the Sea Empress, a series of flashes appeared on the hull of the ship!
After four to five seconds, Marsola heard the concentrated sound of gunfire. The next moment, the "Sea Empress" that was originally trying to make a detour started to shake violently. A large amount of fire exploded on the hull of the ship, and one of the three masts in the middle broke on the spot … The ship that was originally moving at high speed immediately slowed down, and then began to tilt due to the cracks on the hull.
After one round of concentrated fire, the fast ship that was trying to escape sank directly. This feeling was like a group of adults beating up a child without any suspense. After that, the Eiferta fleet directly sailed into the port. After dropping the anchor, teams of fully armed soldiers quickly rushed down from the transport ships at the back. After controlling the main streets according to plan, they went straight to the "back door" of the palace …
The palace and the port were actually next to each other. From the port to the north, after leaving the densely populated area, they could directly enter the "South City Gate" on the side of the palace through a small path. As the palace was built on a raised terrain, one could directly see the port and the sea from the palace.
When the Eiferta fleet used the transport ships to transport more than a thousand soldiers to the back of the palace, the city was almost unprepared for battle.
At this moment, as the monarch, Charles II, was fighting in Enrique City. Almost all of the mages were mobilized. In order to gather enough troops to fight at the front line, even the number of patrolling troops was reduced by half, let alone the city defense soldiers. There were only more than eighty imperial guards left in the palace, and this was including the attendants of the queen, the prince, and the princess. There was only one mage left who could really fight, and this was the magus that Charles II had specially kept.
After the alarm at the port rang, the people in the palace immediately began to prepare for battle. But no matter how they prepared, there were not many people to help defend the huge city. When the armored Eiferta infantry division carried the crystal cannons to the closed South City Gate, there were only about a hundred people standing on top of the city wall.
They ran back and forth carrying the defense equipment that had been dusty for many years. What was even more ridiculous was that the large crossbows on the base of the city wall could not be turned because of the rust at the base. When seven or eight soldiers tried to turn it by force, they actually broke the connecting part of the base with a click.
At this moment, the three artillery squads had already set up the crystal cannons. They immediately activated them and blasted open the fragile city gate. Along the way, a portion of the city wall above the city gate was blasted open. The terrifying power of the crystal cannons directly destroyed the already low morale of the soldiers. The two noble knights who were guarding the city yelled at the soldiers who wanted to escape, but they could not stop the Eiferta infantry who had already begun to rush into the city.
They waved their long swords filled with Battle Aura in an attempt to stop the soldiers, but before they could even come into contact, they were directly hit by a round of crystal cannons.
The poor two knights who had advanced strength were directly turned into ashes before they could even touch the enemy.
At this moment, the Imperial City was unprecedentedly empty. When the infantry division charged in, they encountered almost no resistance. There weren't even many servants left in the magnificent Imperial Palace. When they heard that the city gates had been breached, the few people who were left grabbed whatever belongings they could and fled in panic. The huge palace collapsed before the Eiferta soldiers arrived.
In the depths of the palace, Princess Rowling carried her crying sister, Claudius, and the second prince, Brassock. She looked at the eldest prince, Solis, who was holding a short sword in his hand. The latter's face was pale. Although he was wearing a set of exquisite armor, he knew very well what was waiting for him.
He looked back at his mother who was crying in the corner and said in a low voice, "I will explain to them. We are the royal family. They will definitely not do anything to us!"
But even Solis himself did not believe these words. From the time the alarm sounded until now, it had only been half an hour. The enemy had actually breached the port and the city wall. Could it be that these defenses were made of paper?! Even if they defended with their lives, they should not be defeated in an instant!
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from outside the door. That was because there were still two groups of guards guarding the door to the core area of the palace. But after the deafening noise, the battle cry did not sound again. Only the dense sounds of footsteps and armor clashing could be heard.
At this moment, the only remaining magus who was guarding the royal family pushed open the door with a magic staff in his hand. He held a scroll in his hand and walked quickly to the two princes, Solis and Brassock. "Go! I will take you away! "
Solis was a little stunned. He did not understand why the magus would say this at this time. He turned his head and looked at his two sisters and mother who were not far behind him. He said, "Let's go together."
"The teleportation scroll can only send two people away! You are the seed of the royal family! "
