The winter sun suddenly dimmed, and a whistle came from the top of the tree, as if countless birds were flapping their wings and flying high. The young hunter looked up subconsciously and saw countless silhouettes of light and shadow flying over his head. His mouth was wide open in shock.
"Flying … Flying horses!?"
"It's the Windrider Colts! Those idiots are done for!" Odum complained loudly, "But I don't see anything!"
"But they're in the sky!"
"I don't know, I only see darkness!" The dwarf replied in annoyance.
The young man quickly adjusted the dwarf's heavy helmet. "Oh!" Odum cried out in surprise, "Heavens, I didn't notice this problem. I was probably too anxious, thank you very much!"
"Hahaha, idiot dwarf!" Finny's teasing laughter could be heard from afar, and the elven girl was swaying back and forth in laughter.
"Ah, damned little girl!" Odum was so angry that his beard was blowing, "Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Hahaha, you can't beat me, esteemed Mister Odum."
The young man carefully avoided the center of the two and raised his head to look at the battle in the sky.
"The Valkyrie's Guard!"
Most of the people in Valhalla were hiding in their houses or temporary shelters. The workshops and shops on the streets were all closed, but everyone was hiding behind their doors and windows, silently watching this battle that would affect their future.
However, the moment the female knights appeared on the tree canopy, a small cheer was set off behind the entire city.
Shitou and Skagur stood upright on their Valkyrie's warhorses that were burning with white flames. The spears in their hands flickered with the silver light of the poem, and behind their winged helmets, their long golden braids fluttered in the wind. They held small round shields in their hands, and behind them were hundreds of their sisters.
They were the heroic spirit warriors from the ancient times, the valkyries of Odin.
Shitou's cold eyes scanned the battlefield, and when she saw the Horseshoe Beetles charging towards her, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"Sisters!" She pointed her spear at her opponents who were not in formation and shouted in a dignified voice, "For Valhalla, for the Valkyrie, charge!"
Streaks of silver light poured down from the sky. Affected by Finnie's premeditated use of Slow and Gravity, the beetle army was unable to organize an effective defense, not to mention that their individual strength was not superior to their opponent's.
In the era of the Queen Mother, the Horned Beetle was the most powerful existence in the Twilight Army, but that era was long gone along with the Glorious Era buried by the Divine People.
The Valkyrie's attack was like a sharp blade that pierced through the army.
The horseshoe beetles fell like rain.
"Victory!"
The people in Valhalla screamed in excitement.
The young hunter on the city wall was also screaming. He was cheering. Behind him, his father watched this scene silently, but there was a slight ripple in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall his youth. At that time, Erouine still had two true heroes. Everyone had the hope of revival in their hearts. Under the leadership of the two lords, everything seemed to be so beautiful.
The sweat on Baron Dahl's face gathered into a stream, and the stream gathered into a small river. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He turned his head and looked at Hollis with pleading eyes, but the wizards didn't even look at him.
Hollis was disappointed in this person. He didn't expect the horseshoe beetles to play any role now. The opponent had so many Valkyries, which was something they didn't expect in advance.
More importantly, this fortress seemed to be intact. The colleagues who had been sent to carry out the destruction mission were probably dead.
He didn't expect the battle to turn out like this. There was no doubt that this battle had fallen into a bitter struggle. The only advantage now was the Crystal Army on the ground. If the rumors were correct, the Tónigel people, whether it was the White Lion Guards, the cavemen, or the centaur warriors, were far from being a match for the Crystal Army.
He looked up.
The canopy of Valhalla was slowly opening, and a huge spherical cavity appeared in the extended branches and leaves. The wind blew at the top of the tree, and thousands of sails flickered with sparkling silver light.
That was the Tónigel's fleet.
The fleet was so powerful that Hollis found it difficult to deal with. Its flagship used to be the main ship and command ship of the Kanaichi Air Fleet. The Kanaichi simply gave their backup fleet directly to the Tónigel people. This was the only force on the battlefield that could determine the outcome of the battle. It must be restricted.
He snapped his fingers, and a small magic circle appeared not far from him. A respectful voice came from the slowly rotating disc-shaped magic circle. "Honorable Sir Hollis, González awaits your orders."
"Order your fleet to spread out and seize the upper hand."
"Yes, sir. May the glory of knowledge be with you. Sir, bless us to defeat these country bumpkins easily. Please wait and see."
"Be careful. The opponent is not as weak as you think. I ask you not to take the initiative to attack. Try to contain the opponent within the effective range and expose the side of the Tónigel people."
"As you wish, sir."
Only then did Hollis nod his head in satisfaction. Although the Banxians were also mortals, they had been willing to become vassals of the Saasalds for many years. It was much easier to use them than these barbarians.
At least they understood the importance of obedience and discipline.
The two large silver fleets in the sky were each looking for their best positions. The Saasalds' fleet clearly had the advantage. They arrived at the battlefield first and spread out first, while the Tónigel's fleet was still slowly forming out of the harbor.
"Huh?"
Hollis was suddenly startled.
He saw the Tónigel's fleet actually attack in groups of three, circling around the harbor like fish. This was the classic ground attack formation of the Bugas' naval tactics.
They were clearly still within the attack range of his fleet, but they directly ignored the threat above them?
"Have the Tónigel people gone mad?" This thought flashed through Hollis' mind.
The next moment, the Tónigel's fleet opened fire.
Magic and artillery shells swept across the battlefield like a hurricane, causing a devastating blow to the advancing army on the ground. Hundreds of crystal beasts were annihilated in this wave of fire.
"No!" Baron Dahl's face was almost distorted. He rushed up and grabbed Hollis' arm. "What are your fleet doing? Stop them!"
Hollis shook off the guy and directly fixed him in mid-air with a spell. "Shut up, I know what to do, you damn idiot!"
In fact, there was no need for him to give the order. As an experienced captain, González would never give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Tónigel's fleet formed a flashing diamond in the sky. Their muzzles were almost all pointed to the ground. No one would be merciful to opponents who could not fight back.
"Open all the cannons!"
"Let all the wizard apprentices on the deck!"
González walked directly to the deck with a cigarette in his mouth and ordered the entire fleet through the magic communication array.
He picked up his pocket watch and pointed at the ticking needle. "I'll give you three minutes. Get ready to fire in three minutes!"
The Saasaldian fleet slowly turned, revealing an orderly battle line. Dozens of frigates followed the lead of the main battleships and turned to the side. The sailors opened the cannons one by one, revealing countless black holes.
The magic cannons were being pushed up to their positions one by one, and the enchanted ballistae on the deck were also adjusted to their positions. Every magic array had a Wizard ready for battle, and the crystal at the tip of their magic staffs was flashing with a dazzling light.
"Time's up!"
"Fire!"
A cloud wall seemed to rise in the sky. Flames flickered between the clouds, and countless artillery and magic suddenly broke through the rolling clouds, forming silver traces of light that connected to the Tónigel fleet that was constantly descending under the canopy of Valhalla.
Then a deafening roar resounded through the sky.
However, the artillery didn't hit the Tónigel fleet.
A light green barrier slowly spread out from the canopy of Valhalla. "Fortress defense system activated. Prepare to withstand the first wave of attack. Attack arrived. Energy returned to 13.11 … 12.07 … 11.9 … 10.0%. Magic reaction complete. Recalculating damage report."
A dazzling flash erupted from the light barrier, but after the explosion of magic and artillery, the smoke slowly dispersed. Valhalla stood majestically, and the silver fleet under its protection stood majestically.
"Hahahaha, they aren't our match at all!" Monica excitedly rolled around on the crystal control panel. She waved her fist at the calm girl and screamed, "You're amazing, Valhalla!"
The girl only expressionlessly sorted out Valhalla's damage report. It was a piece of snow-white paper.
On the city wall, the youth's face was pale as he pressed his hand to his chest. However, at the last moment, he let out a long sigh. This time, he didn't scream, nor did he shout in excitement. He only calmly lowered his hands, and in his hands, he clenched his fists.
At that moment, something seemed to have appeared in the youth's heart. It was something he had never imagined in the past.
He finally saw it. It was Erouine's power.
In the air, the wizards were completely silent.
The massive fleet of Saasaldians was also completely silent for a moment, to the extent where they even forgot to fire a second round.
Hollis looked at this scene with a calm expression. He slowly extended his hand, and a red jade-like staff appeared out of thin air, appearing in his snow-white and slender palm.
"I should have known this would happen. This is the true power of the Holy War Fortress." He turned his head, and his gaze swept past his colleagues. "Follow me. It's time for us to take the field. Let the mortals witness the true power of Saasaldians."
