Chapter 410 Thanks to you, otherwise we would probably all die on the battlefield

   "It's a pity, if it wasn't for the Holy See Holy Maiden's obstruction, you alone would have wiped out the entire imperial crusade!" Raphael said regretfully.

  Ai Luoke on the side asked curiously. "Master Dean, why haven't you seen you use such powerful magic before?"

  “[Sunshine] has strict requirements on the weather, and the effect is only good enough for the first use.” Lynn explained.

  If it weren't for the emergency this time, he would have wanted to use it in a more critical place.

  After all, although this magic is powerful, it takes a long time to prepare and has many disadvantages, such as the need for clear weather, and the fact that light can be refracted, emitted, and absorbed.

  The other party is not stupid, and will definitely be on guard after suffering a loss.

   This time the laser he fired was bounced back.

   Obviously, the Holy See has learned enough lessons and has found a way to deal with laser magic.

  Of course, Lynn doesn’t think that the other party has the ability to create a mirror that reflects 100% of the light. As long as the intensity of the laser is high enough, even the mirror will be cut instantly!

   "Go and inform Raeder and the others, set off immediately and go to Mistland!" Lynn stood up and said solemnly.

  Although he temporarily repelled the Holy See's attack, he did not rule out the possibility of the opponent's pursuit. He had to rush for reinforcements immediately.

  Rafael and the others nodded together. In fact, they are also preparing to leave the city of steel today, and all supplies have been prepared in advance!

  Due to the need to establish communication base stations and daily patrols, nearly 40% of the airships were dispatched to perform missions. Their legion only got 40 ships, which was not enough to transport tens of thousands of people there.

After a brief discussion, Lynn quickly made a decision. He and Raphael took the airship and led some people to the destination first. After that, Raedel and the two great wizards led the remaining legions to slowly rush come over.

  …

  Wilsel, the city of steel, is about 159 kilometers away from the straight line of the empire's border. It would take at least a few days for a normal march and crossing mountains and rivers, but it only takes more than an hour to take an airship!

   Along the way, information from all over the kingdom was continuously conveyed to the receiving device through electromagnetic communication technology, and then translated.

  Raphael couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of this thing, a message sent from any location can spread throughout the entire kingdom within a few minutes!

   All the news can be summed up to say two things.

   First, the airships they deployed to patrol the border between the kingdom and the empire are still in good condition, which means that the crusade army of the Holy See sneaked into their protective circle and failed to remove these 'nails'.

This made Lin En heave a sigh of relief. You must know that in order to build this line of defense all over the kingdom and avoid being attacked by others, he has put in a lot of effort. The patrol trajectory and position of each airship are carefully designed. Guaranteed to become horns of each other, and need to communicate with each other every once in a while.

   Unless the other party can wipe out all the airships in a large area in an instant, there will inevitably be news.

  The second is that Harov has led people to retreat to an imperial town that was captured before, and is standing by for help.

   When the airship landed in the town, a group of wizards were busy reinforcing the protection of the city wall. When they saw Lynn, they all bowed respectfully.

   "Master Lynn, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise we would probably all die on the battlefield." Sanchez stepped forward, patted Lynn on the shoulder, and said gratefully.

  If Lynn hadn't arrived in time before, he was already ready to stay behind.

"You don't need to be so polite. In the face of the resistance of the empire and the Holy See, everyone must go all out." Lynn shook his head. They were already at a disadvantage at the high end, and losing any legion was an unacceptable loss .

   Then Lynn asked about the casualties of the war.

   "It's a lot more serious than expected." Sanchez said with a wry smile. "A total of 1,200 people were killed and more than 3,700 people were injured."

  That is to say, more than half of the 10,000-person Musketeers suffered casualties. Not only that, they also lost a large number of artillery and firearms.

   "I think these weapons should have been seized!" Sanchez said solemnly, this is what he is most worried about.

  In the few wars since they left the wizarding land, even if it was the most tragic battle to defend the capital, they still won, so there was no need to guard against this before.

   But it is different now, so many weapons have been seized by the enemy, and the opponent is likely to imitate them.

"It doesn't matter, I have already melted the artillery and armored vehicles. As for the production method of basic weapons such as muskets, it is impossible to hide them. It will be a matter of time before the enemy cracks them. As long as the enemy is much faster!" Lin En was very open.

  He knows very well that simple weapons like flintlock muskets and airships can always be made with some time as long as the elites of the empire and the Holy See are willing to think carefully.

  The reason why there is no movement now is only because the time is too short, and the bishops of the Holy See are focusing on feudal superstition one by one, believing that this is a devil's creation.

  Of course, "advanced equipment" with a bit of technology like the internal combustion engine, without blueprints, they can't make it even if they try their best.

   While speaking, Sanchez led everyone into a manor.

   This is the mansion of a young count of the empire. When they brought people from the kingdom to kill them, the other party packed up their belongings and ran away without a single guard. They took over the entire city without any effort.

   But now the manor has become a temporary command post and a place for the wounded. Many camps have been set up in the open area, and the herbalists are busy preparing potions.

   "I really don't know when the war will end." Jonny, who followed behind the two, looked at the tents and sighed.

   "Probably wait until the day when the Holy See is completely defeated!" Eloque continued looking forward to it. "We will pull the gods down from the sky, build spiers belonging to wizards everywhere on this continent, spread knowledge, eliminate ignorance, and spread the glory of magic to the entire land!"

   This is the war slogan commonly used by the parliament. It has to be said that it is extremely motivating for many young wizards with ambitions and enthusiasm.

   "There will be such a day!" Eloque said confidently.

   Lynn also nodded and said with a smile. "Maybe soon, if this battle goes well."
