In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 749

In the sky, thick smoke billowed, like a steam airship of a giant whale in the clouds, swimming slowly.

General George was sitting in his command room. A faceless black projection emerged from the mirror hanging on the wall. He took out a chair and sat down opposite.

“Sir George, Her Majesty the Queen needs you to give an explanation regarding the failure of the expeditionary force.”

The construction cost and daily maintenance costs of each steam airship are quite staggering.

With so much loss all at once, a general with no background would definitely have to go to court-martial.

As a world hegemon, Great Britain certainly cannot compete with the three European powers in terms of land power.

Therefore, in addition to the unshakable sea power, the newly emerged air power must be firmly grasped by Great Britain in order to secure the throne of hegemony. This is not for the sake of fame, but for tangible benefits.

You know, just by virtue of its title of “world hegemon”, Britain can gain a lot of benefits for itself every year. When many small countries hear that they are British, their bones immediately soften. What about opening up ports for trade and unequal treaties? , was just signed by a bunch of colonial civil gangs through bluffing.

“It was just an accident. No one could have imagined that we would encounter an ancient dragon, and an extremely cunning ancient dragon.”

Admiral George felt a little nervous. Although his decision-making was not too wrong, it would be difficult for any senior general to make an effective response to such a cunning dragon that specifically attacks the ammunition depot.

But it was, after all, a fiasco under his leadership.

The projection nodded slightly: “According to the descriptions of Colonel Brown, Colonel Norrington and other front-line officers and soldiers, what you said is not a big problem.”

Admiral George breathed a sigh of relief, but the projection changed the topic: “But according to MI6’s speculation, this is probably not an accident. The expeditionary force may still run into this dragon next.”

General George couldn’t believe it: “When did those wolf cubs learn how to tame a dragon? That’s an ancient dragon!”

The projection did not answer this question, but said: “Our agents in Texas reported a very bad news.”

Following a burst of magical radiance, a blurry figure was reflected, and the man could be vaguely seen wearing golden armor and a golden mask on his head. His aura was quite extraordinary.

Behind him, a red and black dragon could be vaguely seen, roaring towards the sky.

The projection pointed at the phantom of the demonic dragon behind General George: “Is this the ancient dragon you met?”

Admiral George frowned: “There are some differences, but the colors of the crown-like dragon horns and scales are indeed the same. Is this person a wolf?”

The projection nodded slightly: “He is wearing the missing Saint Maximilian armor of the Habsburg family. This man is a member of the Saluzzo family who was kicked out of the clan.”

“Is this a Habsburg conspiracy?”

General George’s expression was a little gloomy: “Those Germans still expect the empire to help them contain the French, and they dare to stab us in the back?”

At present, the three top powers in Europe can basically be classified according to region into the Western European Empire, the Central European Empire and the Eastern European Empire.

Among them, the national power of Central and Western Europe is about the same, but the Central European Empire of the Habsburg family is a sandwich biscuit. As the relationship between the two major powers of Eastern and Western Europe has become closer and closer, in recent years, they have had to turn to the British. Get closer.

“Don’t make random guesses. It is said that this person seems to be related to the long-missing Knight Glory. The last time Knight Glory appeared in public was during the Battle of Texas.”

General George was shocked when General Projection recounted the information obtained from Intelligence 6.

“Knight Yao is joining the Wolf Clan? Is it to cause trouble for the empire?”

“But don’t the people of the Holy Knights never get involved in secular fights?”

Admiral George frowned. There was no doubt about the strength of the Holy Knights. It was the most powerful monastic organization in the Catholic world. It had not declined at all due to the decline of theocracy. The many expeditions it organized against demons were for the Holy Knights. The regiment has accumulated a lot of prestige.

“We don’t rule out that this is a conspiracy by the French, but according to the intelligence provided by MI6, the French are also said to be searching for information about the Knight of Glory. Therefore, we are inclined to think that she acted on her own initiative.”

“In short, the Texans have a lot of hidden cards. Mr. General, do you still have the determination to win this battle perfectly?”

Admiral George frowned. One magic dragon alone could offset the aerial power they were proud of, let alone a hidden strongman, a shining knight.

He took a deep breath and made a bold request: “I need the support of the Kingdom Blade.”

The Kingdom Blades are a steam armored team similar to the Iron Dukes, only larger.

The Iron Duke is more like a miracle that cannot be copied, and the Kingdom Blade is a second-level steam armor. Even if it consumes a lot of money, the British Empire’s wealth can still be installed on a small scale.

Although the combat effectiveness is definitely inferior, it is by no means weak. Dozens of the kingdom’s sharp blades charge in groups, and no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be crushed into dust.

The projection shimmered with light, as if communicating with a certain existence.

After a while, the projection spoke:

“Yes, Mr. Admiral, the Queen has agreed to your request, and not only the Kingdom Blade, but the Kingdom Shield will also support you, but you should also know the cost of doing so.”

“I swear on the honor of my family that no matter whether the enemy is a slave, a rebel, or the exaggerated rebel in the mouths of the colonial soldiers, they will be crushed to pieces by the imperial army, including those Texans who support them behind the scenes.”

The voice of the projection became much colder: “I hope so. The queen is tolerant and kind, but it does not mean that she will tolerate a loser infinitely.”

The voice from the other side made Admiral George a little palpitating, but he still stated solemnly: “I will not let Her Majesty the Queen down again, even if these Texans are supported by the French, I will win for Her Majesty the Queen.”

…

The citizens of New Basilica TC held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome Losa’s arrival.

Although in Texas, only a few core members knew that Losa was the owner of the legendary yesterday’s giant ship.

But many people knew that he was also a hero in the Texas defense battle that year.

In addition, this time, Losa first stole a large amount of arms and supplies, and then shot down more than ten steam airships on the Florida Sea, eliminating the air threat for the Texans.

Their gratitude can be imagined.

The welcome ceremony did not end until the evening. Everyone was beaming with joy, and they came forward one after another to toast Losa. The arrogant British army was severely slapped in the face, which was really gratifying.

In the end, Losa pretended to be drunk, and escaped from the enthusiasm of the Texans and hid in peace.

“Sir, why are you here?”

Losa, who was hiding in the corner, was startled by the sudden sound.

A closer look revealed that the sound came from the mouth of a gargoyle.

“Flin?”

“Yes, it’s me. Now the whole city is my eyes and ears. Isn’t it amazing!”

Flin was very proud. Recently, her attainments in magic have been greatly improved. With the help of this magic circle, she can completely turn the whole mountain city into her own blood domain to a certain extent.

“Too amazing. Even the lord of the royal court is no better than this!”

Lothar praised very cooperatively.

“No, no.”

Flin was very modest. Her current strength was far from that of the blood lords. After all, those old antiques were shrinking in their own territories and had a much greater geographical advantage than her.

If she was upgraded to the full level of Elite II, she would be truly capable of fighting away from home and defeating a blood lord.

“Flin, what do you want to talk to me about?”

The gargoyle opened and closed his mouth, making a pleasant sound: “The old man Giuliano wants to talk to you. It seems that the British have landed in Texas.”
