I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

Charles has been feeling vaguely uneasy lately.

Because five days have passed and there is still no sign of Sofia, not even a single piece of news.

Bai Yan and a Valkyrie, with such a huge gap in strength, Sophia should have kidnapped Bai Yan long ago.

Something is wrong!

Charles summoned his confidant, Francis, a powerful wizard who had already entered the holy order and had been his right-hand man for many years.

"Your Excellency the Duke? How can I help you?" Francis bowed gracefully, with a faint smile on his fair face.

"Help me check whether that woman Sofia is in the Dawn Fortress. If she falls, come back first. Don't expose yourself. You are no match for her."

Hearing this, Francis's face sank slightly, but he still nodded respectfully, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

After walking out of the Duke's Mansion, Francis' originally elegant and calm face suddenly became gloomy.

"How dare you, old man, say that I am inferior to a woman? How can it be possible that a mage like me is inferior to a knight like her?"

The dissatisfaction in his heart turned into anger, and Francis had decided to massacre the entire Dawn Fortress in order to show how powerful the Holy-level mage is.

When they arrived at the Dawn Fortress, Francis did not hide his intentions at all.

He swaggered through the city gate, walked along the street, and arrived at the lord's castle.

Along the way, all the soldiers who questioned him would faint one after another, and the people on the road avoided him one after another.

After arriving at the lord's castle, Francis elegantly took out a bottle of red wine and a goblet, then poured the wine into the glass and began to taste it.

"Tsk, are you ready to face your death?"

Francis said as he poured the wine in the goblet forward. A few drops of red wine the size of beans flew through the air and suddenly transformed into blood-red magic circles in mid-air, exuding a chilling bloody aura.

"This guy is still as arrogant as ever." On the second floor of the lord's castle, Bai Yan, Alicia, Constance, Sophia, and Iris were looking at Francis downstairs with interest.

"Take action. If he destroys our house again, we will have no place to live." Bai Yan said as he glared at Sophia who was holding the silver sword, causing the latter to snort.

The next moment, Sophia appeared in front of Francis, then drew out her silver sword and looked at him coldly.

"Heh, it seems our Valkyrie has rebelled!

I really don’t know what those untouchables who love you so much will think of you when they find out.”

Sophia blocked the attacks casually, raised the sword in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what others think of me, I only know that you have to die here today."

When Francis heard this, he pretended to be scared and said, "Lady Valkyrie, please spare my life. Please don't kill me."

Francis laughed out loud in his contemptuous voice. "Haha, you dare to kill me? You are dreaming!"

It seemed that laughing was not in line with his elegant demeanor, and the laughter gradually subsided, but the confidence never disappeared from his elegant face.

"Now, I will let you know what power is!!"

Francis shouted, and the magical elements in the air began to gather, but gradually he discovered something was wrong.

Where are the magic elements? Also, why can't I move?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Sophia walked up to him holding a violet silver sword, "When did I tell you that I wanted to fight you in a duel?"

His pupils dilated instantly, and in an instant, Francis felt two powerful auras locking onto him.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the calm and disdain on his face completely disappeared.

"Lady Valkyrie, please spare my life." The voice trembled, like a coward on the verge of death.

However, Sophia just snorted coldly, and then a silver light flashed, and Francis' head flew high.

. . .

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" He asked respectfully after explaining this man's identity to Gray.

"I think you already know what to do?" Bai Yan kicked Francis on the head with a calm expression on his face.

"Duke Charles sent people to deliberately massacre the city, which seriously threatens the regional security of Black Iron Castle. We have decided to take military action against him." Gray thought for a moment before speaking uncertainly.

“I don’t know if this is the right thing to say?”

"Add one more sentence, fight to liberate the vast majority of oppressed people and overthrow the corrupt nobles." Bai Yan nodded and added, "Immediately assemble the 001st Division and the 002nd Division of the Dawn Fortress, and gradually capture Istria City, Dawn City, Star City, Cuilan City, and the Mithril City in two fronts."

Gray nodded heavily, then headed to the barracks to begin gathering his troops.

The various military equipment produced by the military factories recently are enough to support them in fighting a small-scale battle. Once the railway is completed, various resources and minerals in the dark forest behind the Black Iron Castle will be continuously transported to the Dawn Fortress.

After taking these five cities, he will start manufacturing cars, tanks, and various armored vehicles.

The reason for choosing these five cities is mainly because these five cities are distributed in a semi-circle to the north of Dawn Fortress and Black Iron Castle, and there is only one medium-sized city like Mithril City, which can also save too much manpower.

As for Alicia and the others, they were defending against the high-level mages and knights. It was better not to use this kind of strategic-level force lightly, otherwise it would easily attract the attention of those guys in the Courtyard of the Gods.

Now Sophia is the only one known to the enemy, so it would be wise to keep some means in reserve.

The assembly call sounded, and one by one, soldiers in camouflage uniforms lined up neatly into a square formation, then walked out of the city gate pulling mountain cannons, carrying mortars, and holding automatic rifles.

Gray led the 001st Division on the Eastern Front, heading towards Istria.

The 002nd Division on the Western Front was led by Wald, the chemist.

That’s right, this old man with a mouth full of white beard was a military strategist when he was young. Although he did his own research, it has to be said that he is really capable.

After a day's journey, the 002nd Division of the Western Front led by Wald was the first to arrive at the first city in the west - Xingyao City.

"Second Battalion Commander! Where's my Italian M34, 75mm gun? Pull it over to me!"
