A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 614 - Chapter 614 Chapter 454 Lightning Attack_2

Chapter 614: Chapter 454 Lightning Attack!_2 Chapter 614: Chapter 454 Lightning Attack!_2 As long as they were supported until the following troops arrived, the threat would naturally be eliminated.

This was why Kierdi arranged to personally discuss Lusian with Duanmu Huai. After all, she could anticipate that the intensity of this battle would certainly not be small – the more healing support they had, the more assistance they would receive. However, the other party was still unknown and could cause problems in such an important operation… Fortunately, Duanmu Huai did not take this to heart, and Kierdi sighed in relief.

Soon, dusk fell. As the moon rose, Duanmu Huai led the others on the Valkyrie Artillery Ship toward the direction of Bonn Fortress.

Duanmu Huai brought five Night Guards, with Ling’Nu and Kaname forming a team. Kierdi led Lizas Royal Guard as another team. Ann and Greiya led Manaria and the Dragonkin Alliance Army as another team, and finally, there was the Magic Guard from Seth, led by Wu Luze.

Essentially, there were two melee teams and two ranged teams.

“How nice it would be if we, the Lizas, had such advanced vehicles.”

While sitting in the Valkyrie Artillery Ship and looking at the scenery speeding past outside the window, Kierdi involuntarily sighed. In these past few days, they had been patrolling around in this ship. She gradually grew fond of these flying iron structures after overcoming her initial fear of height. Not only did it move quickly, it also flew high. They could see everything on the ground clearly and it could provide air cover if necessary…

Unfortunately, even Seth has not developed similar vessels, let alone Lizas… Well, they probably still have to struggle for it.

Regardless, this is indeed a direction to head towards.

The Bonn Fortress was brightly lit in the middle of the night, and one could see the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the thick city walls. This was only to be expected since many believed that Duanmu Huai and the Fourth Legion would march to Bonn Fortress after occupying the city, so the security level at the fortress has been substantially elevated recently.

However, what they probably didn’t anticipate was that their enemies would attack from the sky.

“Take action!”

Duanmu Huai issued the command. Following that, the hatch of the Valkyrie Artillery Ship suspended in the night sky opened, and Ling’Nu and Kaname leaped out one after another, speedily descending via a rope like ghosts.

For ninjas, this was a piece of cake. Ling’Nu’s figure disappeared in mid-air, and the next thing they knew, a few guards who were looking outward from the city wall simply collapsed onto the ground. Meanwhile, Kaname, who was quiet as a kitten, landed from the sky, holding her Ninja Blade, and slit the throat of a guard from behind.

Bonn Fortress was heavily guarded outside but relaxed inside. After all, no one expected the enemy to suddenly appear inside the fortress. Despite Kaname almost messing up several times, Ling’Nu was there to easily solve the problems.

Soon, the soldiers on the outer walls of the fortress were cleared by the both of them. Then Ling’Nu took out the terminal and pressed a button. Subsequently, four Valkyrie Artillery Ships descended from the sky and landed on the city wall of the fortress.

Duanmu Huai, clad in armor and holding a Heavy Hammer, stepped out without hesitation, looked at the deathly silent fortress, then coldly issued a command.

“Attack!!”

For the men inside Bonn Fortress, it was a nightmarish night.

As the door was smashed open and a giant shadow entered the barracks, they didn’t even have time to put their pants on when they saw a giant figure in terrifying armor swinging a War Hammer. Those who didn’t get out of bed in time were smashed into a pulp.

“Don’t give them a chance to regroup! Show no mercy!”

On the other hand, Kierdi led the Lizas Royal Guard and attacked the Bonn Defense Army. Swinging her Longsword, Kierdi danced elegantly between the exchanging blows of two warriors, striking one in the heart. Next, as she twirled to dodge an attack from behind, she retaliated with her sword cutting through the enemy’s throat.

Maintaining elegance even on the battlefield was Kierdi’s creed.

Duanmu Huai and Kierdi split their forces, each making for the command center and the armory. As for the others, Ann and Greiya led Manaria and the Dragonkin Alliance Army and trapped Herman’s Defense Army within the encampment. Wu Luze led Seth’s Magic Guard and took over the city wall. Anyone who dared to leave would immediately be subjected to a storm of attacks from them.

“Light the fire! Light it up quickly!!”

The Herman Soldiers were after all, veterans of battle. The initial ambush had indeed thrown them into chaos, but before long, they calmed themselves down and began formulating a counter-strategy.

Though they were unsure just how the enemy had done it, one thing was clear – Bonn Fortress had been infiltrated and could no longer be defended. In such a situation, their task was to quickly notify the other troops about the fall of the fortress. Since they couldn’t break out now, they might as well… set fire to the entire fortress!

Soon, several soldiers broke through the encirclement under the cover of their colleagues, running straight to the supplies warehouse, holding their torches high and tossing them towards the supplies!

“Liquid Sphere!”

However, before the torches even left their hands, water spheres appeared out of nowhere alongside a loud shout, raining down from the sky directly onto the soldiers. Fierce wind howled as a silver-winged dragonkin girl raised her hand, instantly freezing the soldiers in sight into ice blocks. On the other side, a golden-haired, winged dragonkin girl, wielding a magic wand, swept it powerfully. Within the flash of magic light, she shattered the frozen soldiers to pieces.

“What in the world is going on?”

At this moment, the commander of Bonn Fortress had also awoken. Peering through the windows at the situation outside, his heart was filled with unease. The commander had not expected the rebels to be so bold as to directly ambush the fortress – but on the other hand, how did they even get in? Could there be a mole in our army?

“Sir!!”

As the commander was in a state of doubt, suddenly a soldier covered in blood burst into the room.

“We can’t hold them back anymore! The enemy is too powerful…”

“Nonsense!!”

Hearing this, the commander was itching to jump up.

“Didn’t they say there were less than a hundred of them? We have three thousand soldiers in the fortress, how could we not hold them back?”

“But half of these invaders are mages! Many were blocked in the corridors and burned alive! And those steel giants, they just don’t seem human. Any attack on them is completely ineffective. Whether it’s with a sword or magic, it cannot cause them harm! Sir, we cannot hold on any longer — Ah!!”

However, before the soldier had finished speaking, a hand suddenly pierced through the solid stone wall and hit him directly. With a brutal scream, the soldier was knocked into the wall and fell silent. Then, Duanmu Huai simply broke through the stone wall and stepped in with large strides.

Looking at the pale-faced, trembling man before him, Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed his head, lifting him up.

“You’re the commander?”

“Yes… it’s me…”

Seeing the towering giant before him, the commander’s face was pale, his body trembling.

“Well then, are you willing to surrender? Or would you prefer death?”

“I…I surrender!!”

In this moment, the fortress commander made a decisive decision.
