Chapter 137 The Chaotic Backlund
Although the Sonia Sea is not like the Misty Sea, there is often a lot of fog, but every autumn and winter mornings, the area to the north is filled with not-so-thin fog from time to time.
Alger Wilson's "Blue Avenger" is sailing in such an environment, returning to the coast of Loen along the border of Sonia Island.
——He has been in the North Sunya Sea for too long, and he must go back for a duty report.
In the pale mist, the ghost ship moved forward quietly, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a dream without leaving any traces.
Wounded by the wind, Alger stood suspended in front of the window, admiring the white world outside, letting his thoughts spread to different places unfettered.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed, and some silvery white flashed in his pupils, and he saw a huge ship with sails hanging in the distant fog passing silently.
This ship is not alone, there are many of its kind behind it, one, two, three... They form a long fleet.
"Fusac's Sunya Sea Fleet...they are all dispatched...where are they going?" Alger's feet fell to the ground suddenly, stepping on the deck.
His gaze immediately turned to the other side, which was where Sonia Island was.
After various exchanges in the Tarot Club, Alger has already determined that the world situation is tense and that war is imminent. At this moment, he has made associations and made some guesses.
For the Fusac Empire and the Loen Kingdom, Sonia Island is a very important place. If it is occupied by Loen, then Fusac's Eastern Navy will be blocked in the cold north, unable to compete for Sonia The various colonial islands in the sea cannot go to East Balam. At the same time, after they launch a war, if they want to threaten the hinterland of Loen, they must cross the Amanda Mountains or cross the sea, and pass the defense of several counties, which is very, very difficult .
And if Sonia Island is occupied by the Feysac Empire, starting from here, all ports in the northern and central parts of Loen will be within the attack range, including but not limited to Enmat Port and Pritz Port. If Feysac's command The officer is bolder, doesn't care about losses, and can even directly target Backlund, the capital of Loen not far from the port.
Because of this, the "Twenty Years' War" broke out between the two countries, and the Feysac Empire won the victory and obtained the crucial "Southward Passage".
In the subsequent "Battle of the Oath", Loen won the war, but failed to regain the territory, and the strategic goal was only half achieved.
Alger stared for a while, then whispered with a serious expression
"Is the war about to break out..."
…………
In Backlund, a large and orderly fleet of Feysac airship troops cut in from the northern district and came over the metropolis.
As soon as they approached, the Holy Wind Cathedral and other places seemed to have been prepared to a certain extent. The whistling sound of the wind suddenly became intense, turning into one after another blue-black giant blades, whistling towards the target, like shells fired into the air.
Seeing that these giant blades were about to hit the airbags of the airship formation, an invisible layer of defense stood out, blocking all attacks.
Under the berserk blow, the transparent "wall" became wobbly, but it finally held up.
At the same time, on the airship's body, the muzzle, machine gun muzzle, and throwing mouth were opened one after another, aiming downward.
boom!
As the hurricane around the Holy Wind Cathedral took shape, the sound of an explosion spread in all directions.
In such a terrifying storm, the airships are like ships sailing in the sea, undulating in the mountain-like waves, about to be thrown into the distance.
At this moment, on the leading airship, a light that blended with blood and rust flashed, covering all the companions, connecting them one by one.
Suddenly, Fusac's airship fleet stabilized in the hurricane, no longer like tiny ships in huge waves.
The high-level power of the "Red Priest" path belongs to war, and war is the art of gathering people!
This is the authority of the "War Bishop"!
After the Feysacs blocked this wave of attacks, before the rest of the counterattack came, they pushed the bombs out of the throwing port one after another, letting them fall down.
In the hurricane, the trajectories of these bombs became unpredictable.
Boom! Boom!
The corresponding cannon muzzles also flashed sparks, flaunting the joy of the God of War.
The airship fleet did not try to pass through Backlund. After entering the northern region, it immediately turned to the western region, which was the political center of the Loen Kingdom.
…………
North District, Backlund Technical University.
The leaves of the withered and yellow Intis sycamore trees drifted with the wind, and the students came and went on campus with books or bags.
As a member of an institution of higher learning, as the first batch of students of this newly established university, these young people are full of vigor and full of yearning for the future. They gather together every day to discuss ideals, recite poems, and research technology. They are pure and happy .
Melissa Moretti walked among them, looked up at the wall clock on the top of the main teaching building, and involuntarily quickened her pace a little.
She is going to help Principal Mormont today, preparing for the upcoming mechanical laboratory that will be announced.
This is something she likes and is very interested in. It makes her feel so happy every day. She feels that campus life is so beautiful and her classmates are so lovely.
Subconsciously, Melissa glanced at the locomotive of the steam train placed in the center of the square again. Its huge and complex body displayed the infinite charm of the mechanical field.
Many students like to gather there, knock and study structures, but the school neither encourages nor prohibits this.
Melissa smiled a little, and she was about to look away.
Suddenly, an iron-gray thing fell from the sky and landed in the center of the square.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently, and all the glass of the main teaching building was shattered. If Melissa hadn't been far away, she might have been overturned by the blast.
Countless screams followed, and Melissa, like other students, fled in panic, not knowing what happened.
After all, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and has never really experienced this kind of scene.
The billowing smoke and dust gradually fell, and Melissa, who hid behind a tree, subconsciously turned her gaze to the place where the explosion happened just now.
Her expression froze in an instant, and her eyes became dull in an instant.
The locomotive of the steam locomotive was torn apart, and parts and debris were scattered everywhere.
Some of the students around and passing by fell to the ground mutilated without making a sound, while some were covered in blood, with many scorched black marks, and were still groaning in pain.
Such a scene is like an oil painting, it is so unreal, Melissa stared blankly, unable to react for a short time.
Carter, a male classmate she knew with a great research spirit, always confidently said that he would become a naval engineer every time we discussed, but now, only half of his body is left, and his intestines are leaking all over the place;
Eudora, a classmate in her department, obviously studies machinery, but loves poetry. She is quite talented in this area and is loved by people around her. Sometimes, Melissa will also attend their parties, quietly Listening quietly to Eudora's chanting, she felt that she was really an attractive girl, but now, one of her legs was bloody and her whole body was moaning semi-consciously;
...
In just a few seconds, the future of these people was brutally changed.
It wasn't until many teachers rushed out of the teaching building, started to rescue the injured, and organized the evacuation of the students, that Melissa woke up with a start and hurriedly approached the teachers.
"Listen to me! You are divided into two groups, one group goes to the laboratory, and the other group goes to the Denis Church. They all have underground areas where you can hide." One of the teachers, although his face was full of horror, but Still calm, he made arrangements in a clear and loud voice, as if he had received special training.
He looked around and saw that the students were still afraid to leave the teacher's place, so he hurriedly said
"Don't worry too much. The enemy's airship has already turned around and headed to the West District. There is no danger here."
Accompanying his words were rumbling explosions, coming from the southwest direction.
The West District... the upper and lower councils of the Kingdom, various departments, and the city hall are all there... Melissa heard the teacher's words, and immediately thought of a lot.
When her eyes flickered, she suddenly pursed her lips tightly, turned her head and ran towards the school gate, ignoring the teacher's shout behind her.
Following the sheltered place, Melissa quickly came to the street. Panting heavily, she looked around to distinguish the direction.
At this time, she saw the entrance of the subway nearby. Although she was flustered, she still remembered what the teacher said just now
"...There are underground areas to hide in!"
Isn't the subway just underground? The bombing has just started, and the subway should not be out of service yet... Melissa's thoughts raced, and she rushed to the entrance with the traces of the bombing.
After entering the ground, she found that there were not as many people here as expected, and most ordinary people who had not been trained could not think of hiding here at the first time.
It was true that the subway was still in operation, but no one checked the tickets anymore. Melissa, who had been waiting for a while, ran up, her mouth tightly pursed, and her face was full of anxiety.
Three stops later, the subway came to a stop on "King's Row," and Melissa squeezed her way through the crowd and out of the train.
Her physical strength had already recovered, and she ran faster and faster along the stairs, and quickly came to the ground.
At this time, as far as she could see, there was chaos, many buildings collapsed, burning red flames, broken limbs, dead people, and blood were everywhere, shouts, screams, and orders came and went.
Seeing this scene, Melissa became more and more anxious, trying to run to the four-story building where the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom was located.
However, the place has been sealed off, and it can be seen that the glass is broken, the walls are densely packed with bullet holes, and there are still traces of explosions in some places.
Melissa went around the blockade, trying to enter, but was blocked by the soldiers maintaining order. She became more and more anxious, and her eyes were slightly red.
At this moment, she saw a familiar figure, it was Benson with black hair and brown eyes without a hat.
As soon as Benson saw Melissa, he immediately greeted her, his face eased from anxiety, anger appeared, and he shouted loudly
"Why did you come here? Why don't you hide underground! My side is safe!
"Quick, follow me over there!"
You didn't go underground either... Melissa, who had never been yelled at by her brother before, wanted to reply, but her vision was already blurred.
"Huh..." Benson let out a breath after yelling, and softened his tone, "It's good that you're fine, come on, stop wandering on the street."
Hearing these words, the panic and worry in Melissa's heart suddenly calmed down, and she calmed down miraculously. At this moment, she felt that even if she died, it would not be so terrible, at least she would not be the only one left in the family.
At this time, a bomb was blown by the mid-air hurricane and fell towards this area.
Suddenly, the bomb changed direction abruptly and flew away sideways.
Boom!
It exploded in mid-air, just stirring up some waves.
