I Made Scientific Magic Chapter 264

  Chapter 264 Reinforcement from the sky

  The Grand Duke Rickman led the army to take a short rest in the castle.

   Angry Joyce arrested several citizens and interrogated them fiercely, before he realized that Raeder had distributed all his wealth to the poor in the castle.

   And some people followed each other and ran away before they arrived.

Joyce was so angry that he cursed, immediately gathered all the poor people who were still stranded in the territory, and ordered them to return all the property they had collected, and to hand in an additional twenty silver coins as punishment. If you can't afford it, you will be whipped!

  At the beginning, Joyce executed it himself. He pumped several citizens until they were **** and bloody. He breathed a sigh of relief when he was tired and out of breath, and handed over the matter to the guards for execution.

  Some poor people who were reluctant to part with their fields and houses, or who were not optimistic about Raedel, did not obey the other party's orders to escape outside for a while, all regretted it very much, and at the same time, their resentment towards Joyce was even deeper.

As for the nobles and wealthy businessmen who hid in tunnels and dark rooms and escaped everything, they rejoiced. After Joyce denounced Raeder's robbery, they even spontaneously assembled a private army of 500 people to let Joyce Si is in charge of the command, kill those **** miners, and **** their treasure back!

For Joyce, this was obviously a surprise. Before that, he even considered whether to recruit some poor people to form temporary serf soldiers, at least to strengthen his momentum, so that he would not be completely without manpower and could only rely on Guards of the Grand Duke.

   Now it's much more convenient, and it's really a disgrace for nobles to send their own troops to carry hoes and ore manuscripts on the battlefield.

  At night, the spies dispatched earlier reported that they found traces of the miners more than ten kilometers away from the castle. There was a sparse crowd, roughly tens of thousands of people.

"It seems that they haven't gone far!" Rickman heaved a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that these people would be broken into pieces, slipping away, unable to fulfill the prince's entrustment, and that would be the real trouble. up.

   "Continue to track me down, but don't alarm them!" Rickman ordered, and he didn't mean to pursue it at night, but was going to rest here for a night.

  The previous encounters have made Rickman understand the insidiousness of the opponent, and chasing him in the middle of the night might run into something bad for him again.

   Try to intercept the opponent on the plain in front, and all the conspiracies and tricks will be invisible!

  Thinking of this, Rickman shook his head, and said with a sneer. "If these stupid miners stick to this castle, maybe it will take some more time to deal with them."

   "They must have heard of your reputation before they were frightened and fled in a hurry. Even with the strong castle wall as their backing, they can't make up for their inner weakness!" Joyce flattered.

  Rickman couldn't help laughing, and a group of nobles echoed their words one after another. They gathered together to talk loudly, imagining how generous the generous Harold would reward him after this victory.

   "By the way, where is His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Why didn't I hear about his actions when I was in the capital?"

  Listening to everyone's bragging, Rickman suddenly remembered this matter, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. This matter related to the establishment of the crown prince, and the other party should be very anxious.

   "I heard that His Royal Highness Hattar and several earls had a disagreement on the deployment of the army. It may be because of this that they have been delaying." A baron responded with a deep voice.

   "There is internal strife at such a critical juncture, the second prince is really not suitable for the throne..." Rickman said mockingly, and his heart was completely relieved.

A spies reported earlier that an earl who supported Hatar led a small army of pioneers, hanging far behind him. It seemed that he was unwilling to do so, so he sent people to observe them all the time. trend.

   "Then let them watch with their own eyes how we crushed that group of miners!" Rickman said decisively, and then raised the wine glass in his hand. "For our victory, and for King Harold!"

  All the people present also raised their glasses and shouted in unison for His Majesty Harold!

  The next morning, when it was daylight, Grand Duke Rickman summoned the army to chase after him. He was inevitably escaped by these people, so he even sent a cavalry brigade to go there first and drive them to a suitable place.

  Rickman has a big appetite. Not only does he want to defeat the rioting miners, he is also going to wipe them all out in one go!

   Such a hearty victory is the best gift he can give to the new king!

However, things did not always go as expected. Under the pursuit of the cavalry, Raeder led his men all the way to a valley and defended on the spot. It did not work as Rickman expected. Due to the unfavorable terrain, the cavalry did not continue to pursue .

   "If we knew we would be blocked here, we might as well defend in the castle, maybe we still have a chance." Hamm complained and said, now trapped in this valley, they can't even run.

   "That fortress belongs to Earl Joyce. No one knows if he has left any behind. At that time, internal and external difficulties will be more troublesome." Raeder explained, and then said with a smile. "And our waiting is not fruitless, reinforcements have arrived, haven't they?"

   "Reinforcements? Where are they?" Hamm asked in confusion.

   "It's in the sky!" Raeder said confidently.

  Ham and others blankly looked up at the sky, but there was nothing above.

  Raider didn't see anything either, but he firmly believed that the reinforcements had arrived, because the wizard had told him himself.

  The next moment, the miners felt the ground vibrate violently, and then there was a burst of light in the empty valley, and airships appeared in front of everyone.

Hamm and the others stared dumbfounded at the exquisite creations in front of them that could not be described in their shallow language. Each of them was more than 20 meters high. Then recalling that Raeder said that the reinforcements came from the sky, someone immediately shouted shouted.

   "This must be the creation of the gods! God has come to save us!"

  In the eyes of these desperate miners who have never seen magic, these airships that suddenly appeared in the valley seemed to be sent by God to save them!

  For a while, shouts spread throughout the valley, and many miners knelt down one after another, worshiping these behemoths that were taller than the houses.
