Chapter 71 - The port city of Sura

The port city of Sura, where merchants use the sea to trade with Kurum. Their naval headquarters was also located here, built to protect the city of Sura. Today everything is different in the city of Sura.

A resident named Abar has already noticed the difference. Abar was fishing in the town's small harbor where small boats docked. Abar was between 20 and 24 years old and had white skin, black hair, and dark eyes. His attire consisted of a long-sleeved blue shirt, trousers, and slippers.

"It's very strange not to see a Navy ship patrolling the city." For some reason I feel rather insecure, maybe I'm used to seeing these ships.

"Hey, Abar! Any success catching on? "

The man behind Abar suddenly spoke. The man was dressed the same as Abar, the only difference being that he was wearing a green long-sleeve shirt. Also, he carried a fishing rod and a bucket.

"Hus! I see you have come here to fish."

"Yes, I hear that there are plenty of fish, especially since our warship has left."

Hus sat next to Abar and started fishing. Then Abar asked Hus

"What do you think of the war our?"

"Let me think, this country seems so strange to me, they say it is on another continent. So the King asked all the naval forces to prevent the enemy before they came ashore. Since they are coming from another continent, their army must be tired. This is the right time to attack them."

"Wow, as expected from a former captain, you are truly an amazing Hus."

"I'm not so amazing...Oh! I caught one of them... it... TUN... clothes?"

Hus then folded the clothes he had held and examined them carefully. After checking the clothes he immediately started talking to himself.

"These things were worn by our navy sailors. What are these holes? maybe from a bow? ..."

"Hus, is there any problem with these clothes?"

Asked Abar looking curious.

"There's something wrong, there's a lot wrong..."

"What is it?" Abar asked Hus.

"I don't know, but these things give me a dangerous feeling."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, but we better get out of here!"

Hus then runs off the pier and drags Abar with him.

...

Then they suddenly saw something strange in the sky.

They suddenly saw several ships in the sky

"Impossible!?"

"How are they flying!?"

....

In the lord's palace... a man in light plate armor runs through the corridors of the palace. The man then stood at the wooden double doors, the man entered the room without knocking.

As he entered the room, a man of about sixty in a luxurious fur coat suddenly looked at him with angry eyes.

"Now what?? " said the old man of the room.

"Your Highness, there are some unknown enemies flying in our skies."

" And that's all? Can't the City Air Guard handle them?."

"But sir! This is not the air force of any country we have seen before, sir please take a look."

"What do you mean by this?"

Hearing his master's words, the armored man looked up at the glass door. He then walked over to the door and opened it, the door led to a balcony overlooking the entire city.

Then the guard pointed to the sky and said: "Look, master, do these things look familiar to you!?"

Lord went to the balcony and turned to the man "I hope this is not some kind of joke or trick created by children."

The Lord then looked at the sky and was shocked by what he saw.

"What is this?! Hey! You! Prepare our Air Force!?"

"They already do, sir, our hawks are trying to reach these flying ships, your majesty."

The lord looked at the guard and ordered him again: "Tell them to destroy these things."

"As you wish, my lord!" replied the guard, turning and walking out the door.

....

Giant birds flying in the sky cast shadows on the ground as they block the sunlight with their massive figures.

The Air Guard Captain looked at the ships flying in the sky.

"Friends, let's get ready for battle!"

shouted the captain of the air guard.

"Yes, sir!"

Hundreds of Eagles flew towards the Sorcerous Empire Airships.

But before they could approach the ships, a lot of cannon balls and bullets were fired at them.

In this many Eagles started to fall on the ground.

They were also attacked by fireballs, lighting, acid smoke etc.

Many airguards and Eagles fall to the ground. Their bodies were shattered by cannon fire and bullets

The dismembered parts of their bodies rained down from the sky. They were collapsed over many houses in the city. Many houses were damaged.

Many of the people below were covered with blood, and the parts of the Airguards and eagle's bodies were falling down. The townspeople started fleeing in fear.

Many Kurum kingdom soldiers attack the ships with Ballistas.

However, it encountered magical barriers before it came within ten meters of the ships.

Hundreds of Air Guardsmen were eliminated within moments.

A twenty-meter large magic circle then appeared in front of one of the ships.

A large fireball shot out of it and sped toward a building. It was the headquarters located in the city.

As soon as the meteor hits the headquarters, the whole place explodes. The entire city shook.

A huge crater was created where the headquarters was once located. From which smoke is still rising

...

...

"It's impossible!" cried the lord, looking at the destroyed city defense headquarters.

"It's kind of a joke, isn't it!?"

The master asked the scared maid who had brought him tea.

Lord Cypras, who had a stunned expression on his face, looked at the city he ruled. Lord Cypras is enraged to see the city's entire military defense headquarters destroyed in a matter of minutes.

"It's outrageous! That enemy can reach my city!"

Cypras shouted, that alone was enough to scare the maid behind him.

"No enemy can crush our fleet power. So how could it be??! Wait, Navy... don't tell me..."

However, Cypras suddenly had the expression of a man who realized something worse was about to happen.

He started to walk backward making him shiver and then turned and yelled at the now-scared maid.

"Why are you still standing there, go and tell the other maids to pack our things! Also, tell all our coaches and carriages at the palace that we are leaving this town as soon as possible!!!"

"A- I'm so sorry, Your Highness, everything will be ready..." replied the maid in a frightened voice.

Lord Cypras then returned to his desk and picked up the parchment. Then he placed it on the table and immediately picked up the quill lying on the ink bottle. He wrote something, and he wrote nervously, so his handwriting was getting very bad. After writing the letter, he immediately folded it and then went to the corner of his office, where there was a stand covered with a white cloth.

Cypras then goes to a bird cage, pulling the fabric. The bird is resting.

Cypras caught the bird and wrapped something around his left leg.

It was made from leather, then the parchment was placed in a leather-like bag wrapped around the bird's leg. After that, he immediately went back to the porch and released the pigeon into the air.

"If the king reads this letter, he must send reinforcements. Otherwise, this kingdom will fall."

The Lord's balcony could observe the city and the entire coastline, from the balcony he could see the shadows of many ships floating on the water, and then he suddenly spoke

"These ships are bigger than usual."

The shadows may appear small from a distance, but Lord Cypras has spent his entire life in this city. So he knows how to understand the true size of ships entering his territory.

To the maid whom he asked before returning, she said "Master, everything is ready for our departure."

Cypras then left his palace. 14 carriages were prepared, of which 8 were used by his servants and five were used to transport his valuables. And the last, the most luxurious, was for him and his daughter. He put his feet up to get into the carriages, where his daughter was already waiting for him. But before getting into the carriages, Cypras took one last look around his palace and said to himself

"I promise you that I will come back,"

then he immediately got into the carriage and closed the door.

After Cypras closed the door of his carriage, the carriages immediately moved forward.

Cypras looked out the window of his carriage and saw the chaos already brewing in the distance.

As Cypras looked at the chaos, a girl with white hair asked Cypras,

"Father? Do we really have to leave our homes and our citizens?"

Cypras looked at the girl and replied "We have no choice, Angelina. If these guys can come to our city, it means that the fleet has been defeated."

Suddenly his daughter screamed.

"But that's absurd! Why say such baseless rumors, father!?! Our fleet has one of the strongest ships in our kingdom! So they won't fall into the hands of these barbarians so easily."

"But Angelina..."

"Mr. Makas! Stop the carriage!"

The girl shouted to the coachman through the small window that allowed them to talk to the coachman.

The carriage then stops in its tracks, causing the carriages following it to stop as well.

"Please stop this Angelina!"

"No Dad! If you want to escape from these savages, great! But as for me, I will do my duty to protect the city."

Angelina opened their carriage door. And she grabbed the sword hidden under the seat.

Then she got out of the carriage and shouted to a guard on horseback.

"I command you to give me this horse!"

The escort was embarrassed by Angelina, however, the guard saw the determined look on his master's daughter. So he immediately dismounted from his horse and gave it to her.

Then she rode back to the city on her horse.

Lord Cypras immediately alighted from the carriage and called out the name of his daughter, who was running towards the city:

"Angelina!!!"

But no matter how loudly he shouted at his daughter, she didn't look at him.

"Shit!"

Lord angrily hits the body of the carriage. Then he returned to the carriage and told the coachman

"Let's move before the enemy overtakes us."

Then the coachman replied in a worried tone

"But, my lord."

"If she wants to face death, let her alone. I don't need her anymore, I can always create a new heir to my position."
