In the command room of Mokedan Stronghold, the two generals who had evacuated from the heavy equipment room were looking at each other in dismay. Of the five generals lying in ambush in the heavy equipment room, two were the generals who had originally guarded Mokedan, and the other three were from the Berserk Shadow Army. Now that Carlo and Angeluka had died in battle, one of Mokedan's original generals had also taken Belmore's life. Apart from the two Berserk Shadow Army generals in the command room, the remaining Shadow Army general was Smoker.
Speaking of which, Smoker's strength was in the middle of the original three generals. He had been severely injured by Trisley earlier, and his combat strength had originally been discounted. Compared to the general who had died in Belmore's hands, he was far inferior. It was just that his luck was good, and he was able to keep his life against Bai, who had yet to advance. Otherwise, there would only be two generals left in the command room. However, he couldn't say anything now. The two generals from the Berserk Shadow Army didn't put him in their eyes at all.
At this moment, the big screen in the command room was displaying the scene of the trident entangling with the imperial airship. According to the battle report, the airship carrying the Common Lord of the Wasteland was heading towards the south city gate. It seemed like it was planning to break through the encirclement.
"The defense system at the city gate has been activated. They are only courting death by doing this. The two generals can rest assured." An officer of the Shadow Army said in an almost flattering manner, causing Smoker, who was standing to the side, to roll his eyes. The firepower of Mokedan's stronghold was naturally not empty. However, when the weapons platform was built, it was mostly considered to be set up for the situation outside the city. As for the firepower inside the city, it was relatively weak. Secondly, the people on the Trident were not simple people. Just the wasteland owner who had killed Carlo and Angeluka in succession was probably close to an Imperial Great General in terms of combat strength.
Just thinking about the scene of Governor Bali insisting on leaving the city and heading straight for the city gate from Mokedan City, Smoker couldn't think of how the high-energy turrets at the entrance of the stronghold could stop Bali's attack.
Therefore, it would be very difficult to stop the trident from leaving the city. On the contrary, after it left the stronghold, it could use its external firepower to shoot it down. But once he left Mokedan, who could guarantee that he would be able to shoot down the trident? The two Berserk Shadow Army generals were arrogant, but they were not stupid. If Smoker could see the problem, then so could they. That was what put them in a difficult position.
As soon as the Shadow Army officer finished speaking, he glared at one of them and said, "Idiot, the defense system is more external than internal. Do you think you can shoot down the enemy ships with just a few high-energy heavy cannons? If it was that simple, do you think that thing could have lasted until now? "
The Shadow officer was rebuffed and said awkwardly, "Or should we send more airships? There are still hundreds of battle-ready airships in the stronghold … "
"Shut up!" Another general couldn't help but shout, "Think about it with your head. If we send out a hundred imperial airships to deal with an enemy ship, isn't this clearly telling His Majesty how incompetent our Berserk Shadow Army and even Lord Bali are? Besides, you've invested so many flying ships, are you planning to personally blow up Mokedan? "
The corners of Smoker's mouth twitched, and he turned away, stifling a laugh. He thought to himself, "This won't do, that won't do. Why don't you go and intercept it yourself?" Unexpectedly, just as this thought arose, he heard the two generals call out. Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to walk over. Who told him to be alone now? He didn't even have a single colleague to support him, so he didn't dare to contradict the Berserk Shadow Army.
One of the two generals, who looked like an ape, rubbed his bald head and said, "There's only one way now. General Smoker, I hope you can personally intercept the enemy at the south gate of the city. Only the general has a chance of shooting down the enemy ship. At that time, General Roden and I will be nearby to support you. You just need to shoot down the enemy ship and leave the opponent inside to us. "
Smoker couldn't help but curse inwardly. He wasn't a rookie who had just entered the army. How could he not know the twists and turns inside? The two Berserk Shadow Army generals put it nicely. After shooting down the flying ship, they would be responsible for the opponent inside, but anyone with a little common sense would know. As long as he, Smoker, stood up and shot at the Trident, he would immediately become the target of public criticism. At that time, even if he could shoot down the enemy ship, Smoker would probably not be able to survive. The most hateful thing was that even if he died on the spot, the military merits would be divided among the two Berserk Shadow Army generals.
This was still the best outcome.
As for the worst, the enemy ship would rush through the interception net. At that time, even if Smoker was still alive, he would not be able to escape the charge of inadequate interception. With Bali's ruthless style, Smoker, who had been convicted, would probably not be able to escape death.
Therefore, the two paths in front of the general were both dead ends, and he had no choice but to agree. Under the gazes of the two Berserk Shadow Army generals, Smoker could only bite the bullet and accept this certain death mission. He knew very well that if he refused, he would be killed by the two of them immediately. Now that he was injured, he could not withstand the combined attacks of these two people.
At this time, the trident was already close to the south city gate. Standing in the control room, Allen could see that several high-energy heavy cannons on the left and right sides of the city gate had been activated, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed in their direction. On both sides of the Trident, beams of light continued to slide past, followed by imperial airships that were in hot pursuit. Allen gestured to Belmore, and the two of them came to the cabin door. Allen said, "The firepower of Mokedan Stronghold is greater than that of the inside. Once the cabin door opens, you deal with the two flying ships behind you. Leave the city gate battery to me. After I snatch a turret, I will attack the external weapon system so that we can break out of the encirclement. "
"Remember to return to the trident immediately after shooting down the enemy ship. As for me, you don't have to worry about me."
Belmore nodded. Allen had already obtained Stark's spatial abilities after killing him. Although he was unable to jump long distances through space, he was still able to move short distances through space. Right now, only he and Allen had the ability to jump through space, so it was perfect for a surprise attack to break through the encirclement. The cabin door began to open, and the strong wind at high altitudes caused Allen to narrow his eyes. Suddenly, an imposing aura rose from the direction of the city gate, and Allen wasn't surprised at all. The three generals had evacuated from the Heavy Artifact Room. If the other party still didn't make a move at this time, the Imperial Magic Law would probably not let them off.
Belmore glanced at Allen, who shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Without the ability to solidify space, it's just a joke to fight me in a group fight. Besides, they only sent out one person. I guess the other two should be hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to attack. "
Allen poked his head out of the cabin door, preparing to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. He saw a person appear on the city wall, raising his giant sword high up. His entire body emitted a thin aura, but his aura was too strong. What was even stranger was that the man released a murderous aura that swept past the trident and landed on the imperial airship behind them. Then, the General Army's sword slashed down, and the tip of the sword drew a wide sword qi that swept past the left side of the Trident, destroying the two imperial airships at the same time!
"What's going on?" Belmore whispered.
Allen narrowed his eyes and spat out two words from his mouth, "Defection?"
In fact, even he wasn't sure, but the imperial general clearly didn't slip his hand and slash the wrong way. Instead, this sword strike was aimed at the imperial airship. After the sword landed, two auras erupted from both sides of the city gate at the same time. A loud shout and a cold snort rang out. The two Berserk Shadow Army generals didn't care about picking up the leftovers. They first pounced on Smoker, who had defected, wanting to execute him on the spot. Smoker shouted, "If you want to leave the city, stop them for me!"
When the voice reached Allen's ears, Allen pointed to the left and said, "I'll leave that side to you." He stepped on the void outside the ship and disappeared into the air. Afterimages flickered, and Allen connected a few spatial jumps to stop the Berserk Shadow Army general who was heading towards Smoker. The one he stopped was the ape-like general. The imperial general didn't expect Allen to have the ability to jump through space. His head was big, and he could only bite the bullet and attack.
On the other side, Belmore emerged from the black mist and stopped a general. Only then did Smoker heave a sigh of relief. He pounced on one of the turrets and sent the gunner flying with his sword. After snatching the turret, Smoker was indeed impolite. He reversed the muzzle and fired at the powerful armed platforms at the city gate. The stronghold guards probably didn't expect that their general would change sides. They only reacted when two armed platforms were instantly razed to the ground by Smoker. At this time, the remaining turrets in the inner city could no longer care about the Trident and turned their muzzles towards Smoker.
Smoker sneered and flashed out of the turret. The giant sword rose and fell a few times, destroying the turret with sword qi. Then he shouted at Allen, "Take me away, or I'll shoot down your flying ship!"
Allen flicked out a spatial rift to force the general back and took a deep look at Smoker. In a flash, he appeared next to Smoker, grabbed his hand, and threw him up. In another flash, he was already above Smoker's head. Allen threw a few times in a row and landed in the cabin door with Smoker. At this moment, a cloud of black mist dispersed and Belmore emerged from it. The two of them looked at Smoker. The latter snorted and said, "What, they're allowed to force me into a dead end, but I'm not allowed to change sides?"
It turned out that Smoker thought that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well help Allen and the others break out of the encirclement. He could also hitch a ride. As for what to do in the future, he wouldn't think so far ahead. Naturally, he had to get through this first.
Hearing Smoker's words, Allen roughly guessed what was going on. He winked at Belmore, who understood that Allen wanted him to stay behind and keep an eye on this imperial general. Allen returned to the control room. The two of them had naturally seen what had happened at the city gate, but now was not the time to ask. The flying ship had already flown over the city gate, and the two armed platforms that Smoker had destroyed were powerless to intercept it. By the time the other armed platforms opened fire, the Trident had already flown far away.
