C211 It's over What Chapter Should I Name What about It
There was not a single magic lamp lit in the dark office. There was only a small candle burning in the dark room, providing only a little bit of light.
For the 700,000 residents living in the city of Brandenburg, this was just a normal night.
But for Falz III and the small group of people who controlled the fate of this country, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Everything was because of the battle that was taking place 350 kilometers away, where the fate of the country was at stake.
Whether it was glory or humiliation, he would become a statue of Falz in the future. Was he going to make people admire him for a thousand years, or was he going to lose his reputation as the king of a defeated country that was even worse than his own father? It all depended on the result of this battle.
Falz III thought of this and took out his watch to take a look.
"It should be about time..."
Fifteen minutes ago, the messenger had just come to report that the Aldran fleet had already launched the first round of attacks on the ground troops outside of their shooting range. He received news from the general leading the ground troops that the first round of attacks did not cause too many casualties. The morale of the troops was still relatively stable.
On their side, Sage Analysis Max Ensco's six Titled Devil Instructor warriors, who were the strongest warriors in the Westfalen, had also ascended from the airship. They gathered together and launched an assault on the combined fleet of the Aldran and Britain.
According to the reports of the observers on their side, they had started a battle with the enemy in the empty air between the two fleets.
Although it was impossible to identify the enemy's identity, based on the Rank 8 magic that quickly streaked across the sky and the situation in a stalemate, it could be seen that the enemy was also at the Titled Devil Instructor.
However, whether it was in terms of numbers or strength, it was difficult to determine due to the night sky.
Now, fifteen minutes had passed.
Regardless of whether Max and the others won the battle and forced the enemies to withdraw from the battlefield, allowing them to take the initiative in the first round of battle, or if they were defeated, there should be a result at this time.
In the battle between Advanced Mages, every tiny gap would be magnified by the intensity of the battle. At this level, the "spear" that mages mastered was stronger than the "shield" they had. Therefore, the main defense method of Titled Devil Instructor was to dodge, not to use the shield to resist.
This also caused the confrontation between Titled Devil Instructor warriors to be usually very short.
In these fifteen minutes, no matter if they won or lost, the outcome should be decided. ......
As if in response to Falz III's thoughts, a messenger rushed into his office and gave a standard bow.
"Your majesty, the news came from the front line."
The young king turned around and pricked up his ears.
"Speak."
... "The confrontation between the mages has ended."
"Which side won?" Falz asked eagerly.
The messenger shook his head.
"I can't tell. Ensco and his companions had left the battlefield, but they did not return to the airship. They flew all the way to the east and finally disappeared. However, according to their observations, the enemy did not do anything. They just returned to their own airship. The General Staff's judgment is that the battle ended in a tie, so both sides shouldn't interfere with the battlefield anymore."
" It's still possible... "
Falz III heaved a sigh of relief.
Although this result was not the most perfect, it was still acceptable.
Even if Ensco and the others failed to weaken the enemy's fleet, it did not matter. Because, in terms of conventional strength, the Westfalen had the advantage.
Eight large cruisers against those so-called auxiliary cruisers, they could totally fire one at a time.
And the four "William I" level battleships were super weapons built by him with all his strength, 24 seventeen inch cannons. Whether it was the caliber of the cannons or the firepower density, it completely overwhelmed the "Determination" level and the outdated "Lord Calvin" for many years, or four against three. This was a battle that under normal circumstances would not lose.
"How long until the cannon battle begins?" He asked.
"Your Majesty, the vanguard of both parties is now about 25 kilometers away, and our main warships have already begun to turn east, forming a single platoon to meet the enemy. The first exchange of fire is expected to start in 10 minutes "
" Alright "
Falz III rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "I understand. You can withdraw."
Meiko sat on top of the B Cannon Tower on the "Determination." Riko sat obediently in her arms.
The huge mechanical structure of the three 16-inch cannons changed direction with the overall direction of the battleship. The muzzle of the cannon also slowly turned to the side of the ship.
The fleet that was originally in a square formation started to change direction at the same speed. Including the three battleships and the six battle patrol ships, the main fleet was gradually stretched into a line.
The silver-haired girl looked at the lights on the "Lake Eden" cruiser a thousand meters away. It was the strongest combat cruiser of the Aldran Air Force, and it was also where Shu Hsingnan and the others were.
With their current strength, as long as they did not stand near the armory when the armory exploded, they would be able to escape unscathed.
When the cruiser flew on land, the passengers would almost not hear any sound. Under the effect of magic, the slowly rotating mechanical sound of the turret and the buzzing sound that indicated the anti-gravity formation array were operating became the only sound that could be heard in the silence.
In a battle situation, logically speaking, no one should be able to approach the main turret. Just the sound of opening fire was enough to cause ordinary people to go from deaf to dying from internal organ rupture, but... Riko and Meiko were not ordinary people.
So sitting on the cannon tower like this should not be a problem... In fact, not to mention sitting on the turret, even taking a direct hit from a 16-inch cannon would be fine. No matter how strong a battleship cannon was, it was only the power of a Rank 8 spell.
Therefore, the captain of the HMS Determination actually pinched his nose and agreed to let them sit on it.
After all, he was a mage big shot, he couldn't afford to offend, he couldn't afford to offend.
"That..."
Riko leaned her head against Shield Knight's chest.
"After all this is over, what does Meiko want to do?"
The latter smiled and started fiddling with the silver-haired girl's hair. Meiko seemed to enjoy this constant mess of Riko's long hair. She then took out a comb and rearranged it. She messed it up again. This was an endless cycle of games.
"Follow you. Wherever you go, I will follow you."
Riko turned her head and stared at her face under the moonlight.
"... " Thank you. "
"What are you thanking me for?"
"All of them."
