In the northern suburbs of Ellington, the invasion of Kasparmi Castle had ended. The messy battlefield had been restored with the help of the elemental creatures. Now, it was full of soldiers of Ellington.
Depp, who had changed into a new set of armor, reported to Tang En in a deep voice, "My Lord, the Magic Awakening Potion has taken effect. More than 80% of the soldiers have awakened their talents. All the Apocalypse soldiers have been assembled! Except for the fifth guard who has yet to awaken their talents and was left to guard Ellington, the rest of the guards are in position! "
"The new buffer armor produced under the command of Master Brian has been fully equipped!"
"The assault rifles produced by Master Klot have been fully equipped. Everyone has been given four magazines. They have passed the shooting test!"
"Please give the order!"
Tang En looked around. These were the soldiers who had given their lives to him. Now, he was going to send them to the battlefield!
"Soldiers of Ellington!"
Tang En said slowly. Under the effect of the wind element, his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of the soldiers.
"I think you already know what happened to Alinx from the Tang Daily's report and the broadcast station's notice. But now, I have to say something else."
"There is one thing you must know."
"Standing beside me are Princess Aurelia and Empress Olina."
Tang En stepped aside to reveal Princess Aurelia and Empress Olina. He said in a deep voice, "The death of His Majesty Victor was a complete tragedy. Prince Girard was bewitched and controlled by the cultists. Now, he is no longer the beloved Prince Girard, but a fallen one who has thrown himself into the darkness."
There was a commotion among the soldiers, but under the control of good discipline, no one spoke. They just waited for Tang En to continue.
"In view of this situation, I hereby announce, and at the same time, let everyone know that I, Tang En, represent Ellington, do not recognize Prince Girard's succession. I refuse to accept Prince Girard's rule!"
"From today onwards, Ellington is no longer under the rule of the Irus Empire. Ellington declares its independence!"
"From today onwards, I, Tang En, will fight in the name of Princess Aurelia to protect the true honor of the Irus Empire's royal family. Only when Ellington's army destroys Alinx and returns the crown to its rightful owner will Ellington return to the Irus Empire!"
Uproar!
Even the well-disciplined Ellington Guards were thrown into an uproar by the sudden news.
What does Sir Lord mean by this?
In other words, Ellington had become independent?
Ellington doesn't recognize His Majesty Girard's rule!?
His Lordship wants to support Princess Aurelia as the new Queen?
The soldiers who had always felt that Tang En was very gentle were all dumbfounded. If they had to say who was the least likely to fight for hegemony in the world, they would probably say Lord Tang En.
But now, Lord Tang En was the first to stand up and speak. He even directly rejected Girard's legal succession and chose to support Princess Aurelia's succession!?
"Thump, thump, thump …"
The soldiers who had followed Tang En from the beginning could clearly feel their hearts beating wildly.
They understood Tang En's strength, and they also knew how strong Tang En was.
If he really wanted to support the new Queen, then he really had the ability to do so!
Moreover … Now that Princess Aurelia was in despair, Lord Tang En stood unwaveringly by her side. Looking at them now, perhaps Lord Tang En would become King Tang En in the future?
And with Lord Tang En's generosity, wouldn't they, the first followers, become real Knights of the Empire?
No, no, no, what was a Knight? Lord Tang En had described to them a world where everyone was equal, where there was no distinction between nobles and civilians!
Did Lord Tang En really intend to change the whole world?
No matter what …
"I swear to follow His Lordship till death!"
"I swear to respect you as the King in this life, and use my hot blood to seal your territory!"
"Long live His Lordship! Long live Princess Aurelia! Long live Queen Olina! "
"Ellington will win!"
The soldiers' cries were connected. Princess Aurelia and Queen Olina, who had been uneasy about Tang En's decision, could not help but burst into tears again.
They did not understand why Tang En had such a strong appeal.
Ellington was just a small city, but now it was going to be an enemy of a country!
Queen Olina wiped her tears and asked, "Aren't they afraid?"
"Afraid."
After a pause, Tang En continued, "Because they are afraid, they can only try their best to win."
"Earl Tang En … No, Tang En, don't you know what you're doing?"
Queen Olina was still very worried. "Perhaps, you'll lead them to destruction. If my son … Girard is really controlled by the power of darkness, then the Third Legion of the Empire, even the First and Second Legions might have been infiltrated!"
"Believe me, I'll win."
Olina could not understand where Tang En's strong self-confidence came from. Now, she could only choose to believe and rely on Tang En.
Tang En pressed his hands down, and the cheers stopped abruptly. He said, "I know it's too difficult for you to face the army of the Empire at the beginning, so we'll choose a target that we're very familiar with for our first battle."
Tang En waved his hand to the north and said, "That's Kasparmy!"
Kasparmy!
The soldiers clenched their fists. The battle a few days ago was still vivid in their minds, and the pain of their homeland being invaded was still imprinted in their hearts. But now, they would never have thought that Ellington dared to have the courage to fight back!
"Lord Lawrence has died, and the new lord hasn't taken office yet. At this moment, Kasparmy Castle is just like an empty shell. Once we lead the army to the north, break the gate, and liberate the people there, that city will be ours, Ellington's!"
"In this process, we may encounter enemies again, or the army of undead creatures again, or we may win easily. But I believe that no one can stop us, because we're the soldiers of Ellington!"
"But you have to understand and remember the rules of the soldiers of Ellington. You're the glorious soldiers, you're the gospel of liberation, and you're the light of hope for the people!"
"No disturbing the people, no looting, no attacking civilians, no raping women, and no doing anything evil — those who violate the rules will be beheaded!"
"Now, set out. Target: Kasparmy Castle!"
Tang En waved his hand, and the troops began to march north in an orderly manner under the leadership of Elsa and Locke.
"You can go back. Remember to urge them to follow the original plan."
Tang En said to Fiona and the others, "Kasparmy Castle will definitely become Ellington's possession this time. After conquering Kasparmy Castle, we'll need a lot of people to control the situation there. In the next few days, hurry up and select a group of people to take over Kasparmy Castle when the time comes."
Fiona nodded. "Don't worry. After Tina took the Mana Awakening Potion, she's improving very quickly. She's learning much faster than before. I told you to let her take the Mana Awakening Potion."
Tang En touched his nose, nodded silently, and looked away.
Fiona still hadn't found out that there was something fishy between him and Tina.
After sending them back, Tang En caught up with the main force again. Ellington's army officially marched north.
Thanks to Ellington's advanced technology, the forging techniques of the Hammer Forger Castle, the powerful industrial capabilities of the Gear City, and the perfect logistical support of the Elven Forest, the four thousand strong army was only equipped with four hundred cooks. Furthermore, thanks to the spatial equipment that Twain had prepared at the last minute to transport supplies, they did not even need to carry heavy supplies when they went into battle. After changing into armor and weapons, they were warriors.
In this way, the marching speed of the entire army was terrifyingly fast — but Tang En still felt very unsatisfied.
This marching speed was as slow as a snail on Earth.
However, the dwarven flying machine that was based on the Heavenbreaker had yet to be fully mass-produced. It was a very complicated and long task to dismantle every part of it and build the corresponding automatic magical lathe. It was also very difficult to form the corresponding industrial foundation. For the time being, he couldn't count on flying soldiers by air.
The rearing and training of flying daemons was also very complicated. Although he had the rearing technology of the dark elves and the Redstone dwarves, Ellington was far from having the energy and wealth to rear a large number of flying daemons. Perhaps he could borrow them after Barod and Rowling reared a new batch of flying daemons, but not now.
After thinking about it, Tang En found that the easiest thing to achieve in a short time was to modify motorcycles and cars.
Now, whether it was the constant levitation spell, the flight spell, or the technology to manufacture tires, they had all taken shape. Coupled with the stable production of the multiple compound wind-powered magic engines, the production conditions were more or less ready for high-speed motorcycles and cars, as well as the wheel-powered trucks.
Now, all he needed to do was to determine the control direction and the way to adjust the output of mana to achieve the driver's control of the vehicle. Then, he could try to produce the prototype.
And on top of that, as long as he added the appropriate weapons, the armed motorcycles and armored magical jeeps would be born.
If he was a little more ruthless, he could change the tires to all-terrain tracks, cover the vehicle with heavy armor, adjust the existing cannon technology, and modify it with magic to create a modified Prandal tank!
Although the tank was a living target in the face of a powerful Apocalypse, it would undoubtedly be an invincible killing machine against an army with low-ranked Apocalypse as the main force in siege warfare.
