In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 758

The dazzling brilliance is like another little sun in the dark night.

In the sky, the royal spellcasters who were besieging the demonic dragon were stunned for a moment.

“This shocking power…the Holy Glory! It’s the Holy Glory!”

Someone surprisingly speculated: “With this level of holy glory, could it be that the Iron Duke invited Grand Master William of the Knights of St. George to help in the battle?”

This statement soon became a widespread consensus. Except for a few senior officers who knew the secrets of MI6, almost no one could imagine that those who use Shenghui would stand with the “devils” of Texas. Same side.

“God bless the Queen, God bless the Great Britain!”

The faces of many naval officers and soldiers showed the joy of surviving the disaster. Their morale, which had hit rock bottom after witnessing the horrific scene with their own eyes, finally recovered a little.

“Holy Glory, please shine on me, kill those evil spirits, and return light to the world.”

“Father, Son and Holy Spirit, protect your Lamb.”

They all made the sign of the cross in front of themselves. If their faith could be described by numbers, the most they had before was one, but now it could be at least ten.

“Those Texans are indeed terrifying. They can actually attract the Iron Duke and a church powerhouse of this level to join forces to encircle and suppress them.”

Several knowledgeable royal mages looked solemn. This is actually not good news. The empire has already spent too much money on Texas. Even if there is a white crystal vein in Texas, it is not known how long it will take to recover the cost.

“Look at that dragon!”

The demon dragon in the sky seemed to have been attracted by the terrifying holy light, and flew towards the city of New Naples without looking back.

The remaining British troops in the port breathed a sigh of relief. The dragon’s fire just now turned most of the port into purgatory. The air was filled with a burning smell, and the burning buildings made crackling sounds.

The parapets, fortifications, artillery positions built by the vanguard, the forts and towers set up at the port had no protective effect at all against this terrifying demonic fire falling from the sky.

At that high temperature, even a steel battleship would be melted into molten iron.

No one wants to fight with this demon dragon again. The bloody lesson last time made many people, including the royal mages, fear this demon dragon.

Rooftop.

“Isn’t this iron monster worthy of death?”

Although the two are equally famous, Viviana knows very well that Jeanne’s strength is much stronger than hers, both at her peak and now.

The age is there. Strictly speaking, Jeanne was a figure during the Hundred Years War.

She felt that even a war machine manufactured in Britain would not be able to withstand a holy spear from the Knight of Radiance, let alone the help of Lavinia and Prajna.

The werewolves had evacuated far away. Although Jeanna restrained the Holy Fire from causing harm to them, this level of Holy Flame, even if it was shined from a distance, could kill half of their lives.

“Can’t die.”

On the tall building of the city hall, the blue-gray-haired Cherinina’s expression became a little more solemn. Although she had long expected that this holy spear would not be able to kill this iron monster, at the center of the explosion, the energy was rising linearly. The fluctuation still made her a little unbelievable.

Under this shot, even a dark giant like the Wolf Lord would have lost half his life.

Is this Iron Duke stronger than the Wolf Lord?

In the center of the explosion, a huge steam mecha bathed in dark red rust color was slowly straightening its chest. In front of him was a giant shield that could completely cover his ten-meter-high body.

The source of the shields were those King’s Shields. The shields in their hands were pieced together to block the Iron Duke’s attack.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Iron Duke’s defense is, it would be impossible for him to withstand Jeanne’s decisive kill without any injuries, just like if a young and strong man falls to the ground without any defense, he is likely to break his body. neck.

Being prepared and not being prepared are completely different things.

The surrounding King’s Blade and King’s Shield looked much miserable. The boilers of many mechas were out of service, emitting black smoke, and some of the huge machines were still burning with golden holy flames.

If it weren’t for these King’s Shields risking their lives to protect him, he would have been seriously injured this time.

The Iron Duke took a deep look at the knight opposite him, who was becoming more and more transparent, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense.

…

Aboard the Sea King Power.

“What do we do next?”

Lieutenant Colonel Robert’s tone was full of resentment: “Your Excellency, those idiots from MI6 who only know how to ask for money have deceived us.

The so-called intelligence that Texans had abandoned coastal towns turned out to be a lie. We had stepped into a trap tailor-made for us by Texans. “

General George sighed deeply: “Withdraw the troops. The soldiers have no fighting spirit. If we want to regain the fighting spirit in a short time, we must at least send people from the religious order to hold a high mass.”

“Withdrawal?”

Lieutenant Colonel Robert said in shock: “But the French are still watching. Isn’t it too much for us to withdraw our troops like this?”

Admiral George sneered and said: “Shameful? Look at the miserable situation in the port. If it were those proud French guys, would their performance be any better than our boys? They have done a good enough job. Do they really want to do it for In a moment of anger, let my soldiers risk their lives? “

Lieutenant Colonel Robert lowered his voice: “But, how should we explain to Her Highness Louise? You promised to use Texas as an embellishment on her crown when she was crowned as the Grand Duchess of New England.”

“What else do you need to explain? The Texans have more cards than anyone expected. This is the negligence of MI6. Moreover, even if we want to continue fighting, the soldiers have no intention of fighting.”

Admiral George threw the monocular telescope to Lieutenant Colonel Robert.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert took it and looked at it. His face turned much paler. The situation was worse than he thought. The whole port had turned into a ruin. Looking around, there were almost no living people.

Their first landing corps, 8,000 elite corps, along with those heavily invested armored infantry and land cruisers, were almost wiped out.

He tried his best to look for it, and suddenly a flag appeared in the telescope. It was the blue and white striped flag of the colonial government.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert was somewhat unbelievable: “Those old-style uniforms are the colonial state militia!”

Everyone knew the level of the colonial militia. The reason why they were asked to come was simply because they were local tyrants. In such a fierce battle just now, no one would think that they would survive.

But things happened so unbelievably.

Admiral George asked in confusion: “You mean, those colonial armed forces were unscathed?”

Lieutenant Colonel Robert suddenly said: “They are traitors! It must be so! If the armory in Schiffliport had not been stolen, we would not have given up the original plan to march by land. If we marched by land, we would not have suffered such heavy losses.”

“Moreover, with their strength, if the Texans had not deliberately let them go, they would not have been able to hold on until now. There is also the intelligence leak, which is likely to be related to this group of colonial armed forces!”

Admiral George’s expression moved slightly. It was not that he really believed Robert’s lies, but that he had already taken the responsibility for a failure. If he failed in this landing battle, he might even lose his position as marshal.

So, the state militiamen who had just arrived at the shore saw a group of angry marines pointing their weapons at them.

“Put down your guns, you traitors!”

Traitors?

Arthur almost immediately understood what these damn natives were planning: “Damn, they want to use us as scapegoats!”

But understanding did not mean that he had room for resistance. A group of British soldiers as fierce as wolves easily subdued the colonial armed forces who had long been frightened by the wolves of Texas.

“My father is Senator Arthur! I want to see your superiors!”

He shouted loudly, but then he was hit by a rifle butt. The British soldier who hit him cursed and cursed, not caring about his proud background at all.

At this moment, Arthur suddenly realized that although he was only a second-generation immigrant in the colony, they had already drawn a deep gully with the natives. No matter how prominent the officials and nobles of the colony were in the local area, they could not stand up to these natives.

He stopped resisting and held his head to let the natives beat him.

The anger in his heart was like the dragon flame of a demon dragon that had just flown in the sky, and it quickly burned through his chest.

“Freedom, North America must win its own freedom! If I can go back alive this time, I must join the American Freedom Association!”

There are many factions in the Thirteen Colonies, but they can basically be divided into “industrialists”, that is, the northern factory owners in the original history. They are natural traitors. They are suppressed by the local industry and can only engage in some downstream industries.

It’s just that the “industrialists” in this world are quite weak, and most of them are controlled by the locals, and their independence tendency is not high.

The other is the “Shunite”, that is, the southern plantation owner faction in the original history. They need cheap industrial products from the locals. The two are interdependent, and their independence tendency is not too high.

But the fundamental reason why the two factions have a low independence tendency is that the British Empire is still in its heyday, and hanging Washington cannot change the deep-rooted contradictions between the mainland and the colonies.

The “American Freedom Association” that Arthur thought of joining is an independent organization of the “industrialists”.
