No one knew that several large transport planes, escorted by six fighter jets, were flying fast towards Luna City, the capital of the Elves, at an altitude of over 9,000 meters. (Luna is a legendary goddess of the moon. It is said that Luna is the sister of the sun god and the goddess of the elves.)
About 50 miles away from Luna City, two large transport planes dropped off 800 soldiers and a lot of equipment before flying away. The 800 soldiers, divided into 40 groups, carried various weapons and quickly headed towards Luna City.
This was the retaliation force that Edgar had sent out, and the operation was code-named "Cobra". According to legend, cobras are highly vengeful animals. If you don't kill them in one go, they will follow you for the rest of your life, until one of you dies.
The capital of the elves, the House of Flames, was in a state of unease with Andrew, the Lord of Flames. After hearing that Nicole had become engaged to a prince from a foreign country, Andrew was furious. The honor of the House of Flames could not be tarnished, and anyone who dared to offend the House of Flames had to be eliminated.
Coincidentally, there was a team of elite death warriors from the House of Flames in the city of Jiya who had just completed a mission. Andrew used magic communication to issue the assassination order to the death warriors that day, but there has been no news for so many days.
"Tell the young master not to leave the house recently!" Andrew frowned and instructed the guard harshly, while mentally considering that there had been no news for so long, it must have been that the mission had failed. Then, the retaliation from the other side would soon arrive, he thought. However, fortunately, they were in the capital city, and they should not dare to act recklessly here. Thinking about this, Andrew let out a sigh of relief.
In the city of Jvia, Edgar, accompanied by a group of nobles, boarded a luxurious yacht. Under the escort of two light warships, the yacht traveled upstream along the Star River. However, no one noticed that at least ten submarines were patrolling back and forth in front of and behind the yacht, while they were collecting various water wave data with their miniature submarines.
In a civilian district of the Elf King's capital, a girl who looked like she was only six or seven years old, revealed a strange smile as she looked at the slowly withering elf tree. Inside the elf tree, several black maggots were devouring the sweet tree trunk of the elf tree, and even one of them was pregnant and slowly producing a basketball-sized egg.
"Rebecca, according to this speed, when will we arrive?" Edgar, who was only accompanied by Baiyue and was looking at the satellite data transmitted back by the satellite, asked his new deputy.
"Your Highness, we need two days, and we can arrive in Luna City on the 15th night!" Rebecca replied. Rebi was also a diligent deputy, who immediately answered Edgar's question.
"Yes, slow down the navigation, we'll arrive at 16th dawn, and have the submarine squadron ready for reception!" Edgar nodded and turned to exchange opinions with Baimu, instructing.
Edgar's "Cobra Plan" was to assassinate one to two important members of the Blazing Fire family first. On the one hand, it would make the Blazing Fire family feel that this revenge was on a small scale. On the other hand, it would make the core members of the Blazing Fire family return to the family as much as possible.
The second part, which was the most critical step, was to use three White Eagle-class armed satellites to directly destroy the thick wooden shell and shield of the Blazing Fire family, and then use bombers to drop a Mother of All Bombs. Finally, a special operations team would clear the battlefield. Finally, the operation team would withdraw to the vicinity of the Star River and be picked up by a submarine and returned to the base.
The Mother of All Bombs is a large air-burning bomb that uses a navigation satellite for guidance. The Mother of All Bombs is a special conventional bomb with low ignition energy and high-energy fuel filling.
When used, the liquid fuel projectile containing volatile hydrocarbons is fired or thrown onto the target overhead, and the container is exploded at a predetermined time to release the fuel and mix it with the air to form a certain concentration of aerosol cloud. After the second detonation, a fireball with a temperature of around 2,500c can be produced, followed by a regional shock wave that destroys the target and kills personnel.
At the same time, it will quickly consume the "oxygen" in the surrounding space, producing large amounts of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, reducing the oxygen content in the explosion site to only 1/3 of its normal level, while the carbon monoxide concentration far exceeds the allowable value, causing local severe hypoxia and air toxicity.
The Mother of All Bombs used in this operation has undergone rigorous testing and its power is exactly equivalent to the power of the Fire Family's mansion, and the thick wooden shell of the fruit also prevents the spread of the Mother of All Bombs' power, but it also enhances the bomb's power. Other areas may be affected, but usually will not cause personnel injuries (scared to death doesn't count).
"Yes! Everything is going according to plan!" Rebi smiled and slowly reported.
"Then I hope our plan goes smoothly!" Edgar smiled and slowly left the control room.
"Father, why don't you let me go out?" Rise Fire burst into his father's study, looking unhappy at his father and complaining in a low voice.
"Go out, unless you want to die! These days, stay at home and behave yourself!" Andrew Fire looked at his son unhappily and thought, "If you weren't my only son, I wouldn't bother with your life!"
"Yes, father!" Rice was fearless of everything, but he was afraid of his father. He dared not disobey his father's orders face to face.
"You won't let me go out, I won't go out on my own! Father is really old, he's afraid of a prince he's never heard of," Rice thought as he walked out of the room.
The Flame family had intelligence agents in Jyia City, but after the city was rattled, it was now a time of great anxiety, and sending intelligence reports was not an easy task. Moreover, it would take at least five days to ride a horse from Jyia City to Luna City, and the intelligence agents in Jyia City did not have permission to use magic communication.
"Lord, you can't go out! The lord said that you are strictly forbidden from going out during this period," Rice was stopped by a guard as he was about to leave the gate. Rice glared at the guard angrily and walked back.
"Just because you don't let me go out, I won't go out?" Rice turned a corner and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He took out a scroll from his pocket and quietly chanted a few incantations. Rice finished the incantations and crushed the scroll. After a distortion, he slowly disappeared into the air.
If anyone saw it, they would surely exclaim, "What a wasteful son!" This golden scroll is clearly a ninth-level scroll, you know, ninth-level scrolls are rare and hard to come by, but this spoiled brat used it to run out of the house.
Rhys looked satisfied and thought, a ninth-level scroll is a ninth-level scroll, even my father won't see me now! Little Shatin, don't worry, brother is here. Rhys left the house, made a few turns, and then removed the invisibility spell, walking quickly down the flat tree trunk towards the lower district.
Luna City, a city made of elf trees. Twenty-eight elf trees with an age of over five hundred years, using their intertwined branches to build Luna City. The houses in Luna City are the fruit called thick wood that the elf trees produce. After the huge fruit matures, the inner cavity is emptied out, and a huge shell is left. Buildings are constructed within the shell.
The thick wood shell not only provides shelter from the wind and rain, but is also very sturdy and can withstand direct hits from spells of level seven or below, so thick wood shells are also made into shields and other equipment.
Luna City is over thirty meters high from top to bottom, divided into three districts of ten meters each, upper, middle, and lower. The top district is where the royal family and nobles live, the middle district is where the commoners live, and the lower district is the paradise of wandering people. There are reserved passageways connecting the upper, middle, and lower three layers, but they are usually not very useful. What Lis wanted was the lower levels. The lower levels were a mix of various elves, and even humans and orcs were seen there. Lis's so-called Shating was actually an elf singer, who was very famous in the lower levels and was now being kept by Lis.
Lis dared to keep a singer in his arms outside, but he dared not bring her to the upper levels. In the eyes of elves, the upper and lower levels were worlds apart, and it was impossible to become an upper-level elf unless one achieved a feat that would shock the world.
"Shating, open the door, I'm here!" Lis gently knocked on the door and leaned close to say softly.
"Here he is," a sweet voice came from inside the room. Lis felt a stirring in his heart, thinking, "Little Flower can't wait for me to water her."
With a creak, the door opened, and Lis couldn't wait to slip inside, feeling a chill on his neck as a precious sword was pressed against it.
"Who are you? Why are you here? What are your conditions?" Lis managed to keep his composure despite the situation being clearly a kidnapping. Although he was a spoiled son, he was not a fool, and he knew that this was clearly a kidnapping.
"Are you Lis Rìhuǒ, the heir of the Rìhuǒ family?" The person who had appeared clearly tried to disguise their voice, making it sound hoarse and unpleasant.
"Yes, I am! What do you want?" Lis felt that the sword on his neck was taken away slowly, and he turned his head slowly. Only to see seven or eight people in green and black masks, with green spots on their clothes (jungle camouflage), staring at him angrily.
"Sir, we caught a big fish, we'll definitely get promoted when we go back (X language)" a soldier played with his knife and smiled at Rice Fire.
"Good, report it to the higher-ups!" A captain-like person smiled and pulled out a communication device, dialed a number, and reported the situation. After a while, new instructions came down, and the captain kept saying yes, yes, yes.
The captain hung up the phone and ordered, "Bring him over there, I'm going to play a big one today!" Hearing the order, several people hurriedly dragged Rice to the wall and beat him a few times, and no one paid attention to him again.
Rice heard the strange words of the people and felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that these people were not elves? Who were they, and why were they doing this? Could it be...
Rice suddenly thought of a terrifying thing. His father didn't let him leave the house because the Fire family had offended a prince recently. Could it be that these were the people of the prince? However, fortunately, there was still a ninth-level invisibility scroll in his space ring. As long as these people were not paying attention, he should be able to escape, right?
Without food or drink, Rice felt hungry, but he dared not speak or fall asleep. Lis bit his teeth and kept repeating to himself, "I must survive! I can't die."
Finally, after much effort, Lis found an opportunity at midnight. Of the seven green-clad men, five had gone to rest, while the two on guard were chatting and dozing off.
"It's time!" Lis thought to himself, quietly taking out the ninth-level invisibility scroll from his space ring and quietly reciting the incantation before crumpling the scroll. With a twist, Lis became invisible.
Lis carefully stood up, stepping over the soldiers and slowly making his way to the door, trying to open it to leave. Suddenly, one of the men woke up and realized that Lis was gone, shouting in alarm. The others woke up, armed and slowly began searching.
"Damn it! This will definitely be discovered! I'll have to fight!" Lis cursed as he saw the approaching monsters, flashing The captain saw that Rees had fled and smiled at the soldiers who were about to go after him.
