"How long will it take to start the main boiler of the castle? Is it too late?" a teacher asked in a flurried manner.
"If we rely on these students, it will take at least three hours to start the main boiler of the castle. Only then can the pressure in the boiler be enough to start the anti-air weapons in the castle. During this time, the battle airship will detect that the pressure in the main boiler of the castle is rising. As long as it drops a heavy white phosphorous incendiary bomb, Wild Wolf Castle will be turned into ruins. We will have no chance at all..." a teacher calmly answered.
The teachers became silent.
"Everybody, raise the blue and green flag. We have no right to let these innocent students die for nothing here! We all know how many troops are under the airship. In the words of the Eastern Continent, do we need to be a mantis under the wheels of a train? Strictly speaking, these students are still commoners. They are not qualified or obligated to be involved in this war... "Saying this, Zerom stared at Captain Kerlin." Let's raise our hands to vote! "
After saying this, Zerom raised his hand first, followed by many other teachers. Finally, after Captain Kerlin raised his hand, everybody else raised their hands.
A few minutes later, along with the red smoke column, a blue and green flag was raised at the highest point of the castle. There was also the blue and green flag that was raised at the highest point of the castle, which was a more decent way to avoid war than raising a white flag. According to the "Convention on Human Wars" of this era, the blue and green flag indicated that the castle was not a military target and was undefended.
As was imagined, after raising the blue and green flag above the castle, the battle airship slightly changed its direction and started to fly towards Blackhot City.
… …
Captain Kerlin silently watched the direction of Blackhot City with a slightly gloomy expression. Zerom pushed open the door and entered with two glasses in his hands. There was also a bottle of red wine.
Captain Kerlin was slightly stunned. "Where did you get them?"
"The office of the commander of the castle!"
"That place is locked. If you enter without permission, you might be sent to the military court..."
"I've already broken the lock!" Zerom said casually. "Do you think that person will have a chance to come back and unlock the door of the office? Or do you want to leave these things to those bastards from the Norman Empire... "
Zerom said. After opening the bottle, he put the glasses on the table and poured two glasses of liquor. When the bloody liquid in the glasses became quiet, the two people in the room could feel that the liquid in the glasses was slightly quivering.
"At least two hundred thousand. Not only the Iron Horned Beast Cavalry, but the armored troops have also been dispatched. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a huge commotion! " Zerom clicked his tongue as if he was talking about something trivial. "The Iron Horn Army has bypassed the Kachidon defense line that the Alliance has painstakingly built for 20 years and appeared in the rear of Blackhot City. From the Crescent Prairie to the abdomen of the Alliance, this is a beautiful and fierce left hook … "
Captain Kerlin glared at Zerom and shouted, "B * stard!" Nobody knew whether he was cursing Zerom or the Iron-Horn Army of the Norman Empire. Captain Kerlin didn't pick up the glass but directly grabbed the bottle. He gulped down the wine in one gulp.
"Since the Norman Empire dares to make such a big move, they must have reached a compromise with the Sun Dynasty. Perhaps at this moment, the army of the Sun Dynasty is also marching towards Silansa City!" Zerom drank a mouthful of red wine and slightly narrowed his eyes. "The small traders of the Andaman Alliance are doomed. Even if 100 rabbits gather together, they will still be a pile of rabbits. Even if 17 small traders gather together, they will still be small traders! "
"The city wall of Blackhot City is not that easy to break. The Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation has spent a lot of efforts on the defense of Blackhot City. If they really want to fight, the Norman Empire will not be able to take down Blackhot City without paying a great price!" Captain Kerlin said in a low voice.
"Kerlin, don't you understand? For those people of the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation, it's not about whether they can do it or not, but whether they dare to do it or not. Drop your so-called sense of honor as a soldier!" Zerom's mouth became spicy. "You have to believe me. At this moment, the only thing that those small traders will think about is how to negotiate with the Norman Empire and ensure the safety of their properties. Even if they were 100 times more courageous, they would not dare to fight the Norman Empire at this moment. As long as there's an excuse, the governor of the North Border of the Norman Empire will not hesitate to smash them into pieces and take away all their properties that they have accumulated for dozens of years. Just wait for the news. As long as the army of the Norman Empire encircles Blackhot City, in a few days, we will all be subjects of the emperor of the Norman Empire..."
"F * ck!" Captain Kerlin became depressed. After drinking a few mouthfuls of liquor, he looked at Zerom and asked, "How many have you got?"
"What?" This time, it was Zerom's turn to be confused.
"No matter how much wine you've got from that office, I want half of it!" the one-eyed man said in an overbearing manner...
… …
When the vanguard of the Iron-Horn Army was only 15 km away from Blackhot City, the only floating observation airship in Blackhot City noticed the surging torrent and the huge airship in the sky.
Shrill war alarms and air-defense alarms rang in a split second in Blackhot City. All the city gates of Blackhot City were closed at the same time.
On the city wall of Blackhot City, all the soldiers and military officers who had rushed to the defensive posts, including Zhang Tie's elder brother, turned pale at the sight of the flood-like cavalry in the distance.
The Norman Empire's army had arrived! The army of the Iron-Horn Army had arrived!
… …
When the war alarms rang, Zhang Tie's dad was in the factory while his mom and elder sister-in-law were at home. Many citizens of Blackhot City were still standing on the streets in a daze.
The moment Zhang Tie's dad heard the alarm, he dropped what he was doing and ran out of the factory. Seeing some youths who didn't understand what had happened, Zhang Tie's dad pulled two youths beside him and ran out together with him.
"What's happening?!"
"It's war alarms and air-defense alarms. Hurry up, leave the factory..." Zhang Tie's dad shouted loudly. Seeing this, many people's faces changed as they ran out together. If there was really an air-defense, these factories would be the main targets. At this moment, it would be safer to stay in open places.
Zhang Tie's mom and elder sister-in-law also hid in the underground shelter that they had dug at home at the first possible moment.
The people on the streets started to become flurried, and so did Blackhot City...
At this moment, Zhang Tie was rushing towards Wild Wolf Castle...
