Chapter 132 High-altitude observer
When the iceberg platform was about to fall, Kaipele retreated from the front line of the fire to the cruise ship as soon as possible. He knew what to do as a commander of an army, fighting with soldiers would only make the situation worse.
Entering the cruise bridge, Kaipele still maintained the commander's steadfastness. He saluted Eliza and said worriedly: "Madam... the guards in the portal are stronger than we estimate. These must be the elite hell army of the ancient magic era. Our current troops can only temporarily block them in the iceberg. If we want to destroy them and attack the portal, we still need to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
This time it was a mistake caused by my underestimation of the enemy. I will continue to command the battle against the ancient ruins here.
But it is really dangerous here, please retreat to safety immediately."
Eliza did not move, she looked at the battlefield of the iceberg that was fighting fiercely. The warriors of hell had completely controlled the entire iceberg. They used magic to protect themselves and the iceberg, and then used magic to attack the silver wings and airships above.
The Scarab Company's Silver Wings are using its maneuverability in the air to avoid the long-range firepower of the Hell Army while shooting at the enemy below with an alchemy rifle. One of the three airships has been shot down, and their huge and fragile bodies are really impatient. Looking at the companions who are wrapped in flames and fallen in continuous ammunition explosions, the other two airships rose up to escape the range before the fireball formed a barrage.
The firepower support of the airship has been greatly reduced, and the silver wings have also begun to suffer losses.
If this continues, these silver wings will definitely be wiped out.
Eliza asked to Kipel, "How are you going to fight this battle?"
Kaipeer immediately replied: "Hell creatures generally have a high affinity for fire magic. In environments with high water elements, the combat power of hell creatures will be greatly reduced. The battlefield of this battle is on the sea, which is the most unfavorable combat environment for hell creatures.
After the wife reaches the safety zone, I will let all the silver wings evacuate, and then let our fleet use naval guns to bomb the icebergs outside the enemy's magic range.
The ammunition on our battleship is very sufficient, and the hell magicians' repairing icebergs will definitely not be as fast as we destroy them. As long as we blow up the icebergs, these hell creatures will fall into the sea.
We can retake this side of the portal and wait until reinforcements arrive before considering the attack."
Eliza didn't understand military command. She thought what Kaipeer said was feasible, so she said, "You are the commander of this war, just do it as you think.
I will retreat behind and wait for your news.
But I will only give you three days... In three days, no matter what method you use, I will have to completely occupy this ancient ruin."
"Yes, madam!"
Eliza did not affect Kaipell's command of the battle here. The aircraft she boarded and left the cruise ship. However, Eliza did not retreat to the rear, but drove the aircraft straight towards the sky.
When he came, the radar on the aircraft shone into the airspace 10,000 meters above, and there was a very large flying object. Then Eliza recognized that it was an airship, the airship that Young Master Liang invited him to meet and ride on the last time.
Eliza didn't expect that Young Master Liang was in this sea area, so he must have known the discovery of the portal.
This is also the reason why Eliza asked Kaipeer to resolve the battle in three days.
Although Scarlett Company and Black Fire Company reached an agreement that Scarlett Company used the condition of not interfering in the Marcelus struggle to obtain one month's priority development rights for this ancient ruin. However, the contract is sometimes used to tear it down. If Black Fire Company believes that this ancient ruin has higher value than they imagined, then it is very likely that they will turn against the agreement and come and snatch it.
The Scarab Company cannot fight on both sides, so it is necessary to take control of this ancient ruin before the Black Fire Company is determined to seize it.
This time Eliza took the initiative to meet Young Master Liang just to test the attitude of the Black Fire Company.
The aircraft that Eliza was flying was not attacked and successfully parked on the upper platform of the airship. This time, Daliang did not entertain Eliza in the open air, but sent someone to take her into a special reception room.
The white-style room uses a lot of glass walls, allowing people inside to clearly see the scenery in the sky without exposing themselves to a high altitude low pressure and low temperature environment. This is countless times better than the treatment Eliza last time came.
The corners of the room and the decorative table were filled with bright green plants and blooming flowers. There was a round glass coffee table between the two soft sofas. Daliang sat on one of the sofas, holding a cup of fruit milk in his hand.
After Eliza came in, she asked, without waiting for Daliang to invite herself to sit down, “Master Liang… Why are you here? It’s still early before we agreed. It will be distracted for you to put such a big airship here.
This has violated the agreement between us.
For a month, I don’t want to see any property belonging to the Black Fire Company, which appears within a 1,000-kilometer radius of this sea area.”
Daliang looked outside first. The aircraft Eliza was riding in was parked not far away. Its appearance was like a fat-headed fish, with a big head and a body, pursuing the cargo capacity and the comfort of driving. Several wings that were much smaller than the body were obviously not to provide lift for the fuselage, but to improve stability when flying in the atmosphere.
I really want to take apart and study it.
Daliang pressed his greedy thoughts, and he turned to look at Eliza with an angry face and smiled, "Madam Eliza, our agreement does not include limiting the scope of Black Fire Company's activities.
I am a very trustworthy person.
No one of my men took any action since your expedition discovered the portal, so don't falsely accused me of violating our agreement.
I said that if you don’t take action for a month, you will never take action. As for the impact you are affected, it is your own business.
Sit down and have a drink...
If you don't feel at ease with me, you can live here too. I promise, you will be safer than anywhere else."
Eliza sat down opposite Daliang, looking at the red wine poured by the maid, she did not touch the wine glass. She was not really angry, and of course she did not expect the Black Fire Company to really not enter the portal within a thousand kilometers.
"Thank you for your invitation from Young Master Liang... I am very willing to live here. This place is so close to the ancient ruins portal, which allows me to understand the situation there in a timely manner. If it is convenient, please give me and my servant a separate room, and allow me to enter and exit freely."
