Gray lead clouds shrouded Emerson's head, the sky was covered with thin fog, and the pouring rain stopped only as the sun rose.
Emerson Stamford and his comrades advanced cautiously among the ruins of New Longge City. They were covered in gray raincoats. Under the raincoats, their gray New Model Army uniforms were soaked with rain and sweat.
Victory is in sight. As the last capital of the remnant Nanling people, this southernmost city of Nanling has been destroyed by artillery fire and magic into ruins. Humans, horses, dragons and beasts; Nanling people, imperial people; long-lived species and short-lived species;
Corpses of soldiers, ordinary citizens, all mixed together, can be seen everywhere on the streets broken into rubble.
From early spring to late summer, from Nandorne County to Honglin County, from Seven Towns to the foot of New Longge City, in just over 2 months, the New Model Army, using brand-new equipment and brand-new tactics, completed a
A legendary expedition of one hundred and thirty kilometers.
But when the battlefield entered the vicinity of New Longge City, the resistance of the remnants of Nanling became more and more tenacious. Every mile the New Model Army advanced, it consumed countless bullets, artillery shells and fireball scrolls. After losing a full 3
After thousands of soldiers, it was not until a month ago that the New Model Army managed to break through the gate of Longge City.
Emerson pulled the trigger, and with a "bang" sound, the sword-wielding boy who emerged from the alley in front tilted his head and fell to the ground.
In this last city of the Nanling remnants, Emerson and his companions were soft-handed. They mechanically pushed the bullet into the gun chamber, and then pulled the trigger on the Nanling soldiers in front of them. Even those so-called "Republican Army"
"The young soldier only had a sword in his hand, not even any armor, and the stubble on his face had not yet grown out as he fell to the ground in a daze.
When he killed the third person, Emerson would excitedly engrave vertical bars representing the number of kills on the butt of his rifle, but by the time he killed the thirtieth person, Emerson had completely forgotten the excitement he felt when he first gained the military merit.
.
Hearing the "bang" gunshot, the companions behind him immediately reacted. Without shouting loudly, the comrades who cooperated tacitly rushed up. Each leaned on the wall and looked at the thirty people exposed at the entrance of the alley.
A team of Nanling swordsmen raised their guns and fired.
Emerson could hear their screams. Some soldiers who had been shot fell wailing on the street. Some wanted to retreat, but their heads were beheaded by their own people. They were driven by the officers behind them. There was no formation at all. The enemy troops
He rushed towards Emerson and the others in a mess.
As soon as he loaded the fixed bullets and pulled the trigger for the second time, the enemies had already rushed forward, and most of Emerson's companions only had time to fire once.
"Attack!" The squad leader beside him gave a brief order. Emerson and his team had actually already prepared their spears. This was just a tactical order to indicate that they were ready to enter hand-to-hand combat.
Emerson's combat squad was not full, with only eight people. The other three had already died in the earlier battle. In the initial shooting of this encounter, 6 of the Rionist soldiers fell to the ground, and the remaining
More than 20 people all rushed forward.
Emerson could hear the voice of the correspondent behind him using the communication box to report the enemy situation to the headquarters, but he could only see the enemies in front of him.
"Grenadiers!" Following the squad leader's order, the two grenadiers beside Emerson threw out the fireball scroll steel pipes in their hands.
Some of the panicked enemy troops seemed to recognize them: "It's a bomb! Get down!"
"Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, two huge fireballs exploded in the center of the enemy formation. The steel pipe fragments turned into a deadly rain, tearing apart the swordsmen's bodies protected only by thin leather armor.
Emerson jumped out of the bunker, and with his companions, he rushed towards the enemy troops who were blown to pieces by the scroll tube: "For the Silver Rose and the Empire!"
Emerson raised his rifle, pointed at a young soldier who was still kneeling on the ground, and stabbed him hard.
The sharp spear made of fine steel pierced the body. Emerson kicked the soldier and pulled out the spear thorn. When he looked up, he saw that an enemy soldier had already shaken off the dizziness caused by the explosion shock wave and stood up.
Different from the young soldier he just killed, he was a veteran, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with the same brown hair and eyes as Emerson, which reminded Emerson of his father.
But the way the veteran looked at Emerson made Emerson feel sad. It was an insoluble hatred of hatred. The five-month war made all the naive soldiers gradually abandon the possibility of reconciliation. Among them
Including Emerson himself.
Without hesitation, Emerson raised his spear and attacked the veteran.
The length of the weapon was powerful against him. The rifle collided with the long sword in the swordsman's hand, sparking bright sparks. Emerson raised the tip of the spear and cut a gash on the veteran's arm. The spear stabbing technique was a bit like the short spear technique, which was very useful on the battlefield.
It was rarely used, so when it suddenly appeared on the battlefield on a large scale, all Nanling swordsmen who were skilled in swordsmanship and swordsmanship were caught off guard and had no idea how to deal with it.
Dodging the tip of the spear that was stabbing him, the Nanling swordsman quickly slashed at Emerson with his sword. Emerson turned his head to avoid it, and then hit the swordsman on the head with the handle of his rifle. The swordsman took a step back to avoid,
Lifting the sword and stabbing Emerson in the chest——
Looking at the sword tip that only penetrated the slightest bit, the swordsman's brown eyes flashed with disbelief, and then he fell to the ground.
Emerson rubbed the sore left chest and pulled out the spear thorn from the opponent's chest.
The clothes on Emerson's body look like ordinary cloth military uniforms, but Emerson and the others were told in the tactics course that all the uniforms of the New Model Army have been enchanted with at least a minimum degree of alchemy, and the basic material is wool mixed with alchemical spider silk.
, although it is a little uncomfortable to wear, the protective power is very impressive.
Unknowingly, the swordsmen team of the Nanling remnant party had been defeated by Emerson's combat squad. After all, they were all rookies who did not even have the intermediate level of warrior apprentices. They faced the New Model Army soldiers whose average warrior level was above the elementary level.
, almost collapsed at the first touch - from equipment, physique, to fighting will and tactical literacy, they are all on a completely different level.
Emerson sighed as he looked at the swordsman's convulsing body. His companions were cleaning the battlefield - when he saw the swordsman still groaning and panting, he went up and stabbed him with a spear.
At this moment, there was a huge explosion nearby, and out of the corner of his eye, Emerson noticed that a green track suddenly flashed past in the low sky not far away. Emerson suddenly opened his eyes wide. In the past few months,
, he has seen the god of death dragging green light like this countless times——
"Immortal species! Identified as the Blue Knight!" Emerson was not the only one who saw the blue light. The squad leader quickly shouted, "Prepare for air combat!"
The Green Knight who has survived until now... Such an existence cannot be solved by a combat squad like Emerson that is not full of members.
But an order is an order, and even though everyone still has lingering fears, the battle order was given out truthfully.
Spider Web Scroll, this is the only anti-air equipment of a standard combat class.
The Green Knight didn't seem to be alone. As it approached, Emerson could hear the continuous explosions getting closer and closer. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva——
At the corner of the street in the distance, the body is shrouded in cyan magic light, and the whole body is covered in silver magic armor. Even the observation hole of the helmet is covered by a reflective green crystal. The green knight flying in the air is spinning, all the way
He rolled out and rushed out.
"Prepare to engage the enemy!" The squad leader roared hoarsely due to fear, and his voice trembled. Emerson knew very well that this kind of combat weapon that could only be driven by high-level immortal species had the power to defeat a tactical platoon with just one person - Flying Blue Knight
In the air, moving at a speed of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters per second, it is simply not something that a mere spider web scroll can hit.
Seemingly seeing the battle squad that Emerson was in, the Green Knight wiped a white mark on the ground, then took off again, swinging towards their direction.
But it wasn't until the Green Knight got closer that Emerson noticed that the magic armor on the Green Knight looked full of holes, and even the flying skirt that played a balancing role was broken into pieces.
Emerson tightened his grip on the musket and aimed at the Green Knight. As the person with the best shooting performance in the combat class, Emerson knew very well that for the Blue Knight, he only had one chance to dunk the shot anyway, so it was better to wait for the Blue Knight to get closer.
Pull the trigger again to a certain extent - although the killing effect is still almost non-existent.
Emerson's palms were full of sweat, but his index finger on the trigger was steady and motionless - "Boom!"
Suddenly there was a huge explosion outside the narrow aiming field of view, and the flying gravel almost hit Emerson's face. Emerson almost pulled the trigger: "What's going on?!"
"It's Black Rose's official election!" The voice of the grenadier beside him was full of surprise.
Soon, Emerson, who raised his head, also saw the black-armored knight breaking out of the wall among the splashing rubble.
Emerson suddenly realized where the explosion he heard came from - the Black Rose candidate was not riding a mount, and with just one pair of legs, he caught up with him. Even among the Immortals, he was known for his high speed.
The Green Knight.
The moment he emerged from behind the rubble-splattered wall, the close selector had already predicted the flight trajectory of the Green Knight. With one leap, he was already above the Blue Knight. With a wave of his long sword, he struck with all his strength like lightning.
Cut it down hard.
The green knight who was caught off guard reluctantly turned around and raised his sword to block it in front of him. The next moment, he was hit hard to the ground by the close selector!
"Boom——!" In the huge impact, the Green Knight hit the ground. Before the inertia disappeared, the Green Knight's body split open the stone-paved street, plowing a deep and long ravine on it, and slid towards Emerson and the others.
s position--
Emerson suddenly reacted. He suddenly closed his mouth that was open in surprise, jumped up and hit the grenadier next to him: "Spider Web Technique! Quick!"
.
"Boom!" With the explosion of the spider web scroll, a white rope net made of the same material as the uniforms worn by Emerson and others, with weights hanging on the ends, burst out from the steel pipe, covering the Green Knight who was kneeling on the ground.
A strict one.
The Green Knight reluctantly got up from the ground, shook twice and tried to cut off the rope net on his body, but it only made the rope net strengthened by the spider web technique stick to his body tighter.
"Well done, which squadron are you from?" The Knight of the Selected Company with black sword and black armor walked up to Emerson's squad leader in a few steps, opened his mask, and revealed a handsome, young face that was inconsistent with his strength.
.
"Report! Your Excellency Georg!" The squad leader saluted the Black Knight, "We are the 10377th combat squad of the seventh column!"
Emerson remembers this man, he is very famous. He is the youngest among the knights chosen by Archduke Feldnan. He is young and handsome and very famous among the women in White Rose City. Even Emerson's sister is a fan of him all day long.
"Your Excellency Georg" came to "Your Excellency Georg". It was not until Emerson went off to war that he remembered his brother Emerson and burst into tears.
Geor nodded, and then turned to the Green Knight who was still struggling in the net: "Let's capture him without mercy, Mr. Kevin! The Blood Dragon King will definitely be defeated. An excellent swordsman like you really shouldn't follow that fatuous tyrant.
Die together."
"Shut up!" The Green Knight in the net roared through his visor, "You golden-haired imperial bastard! What else do you know about Lord Ulysses!"
Georg shook his head in an aristocratic manner. At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a giant beast that resounded through the sky and throughout the city. In the direction of the Royal Palace of Longsong City, a huge golden dragon descended from the sky.
, crashed through the roof of the palace and disappeared among the stacked buildings.
Georg turned his head, looked at the frozen Green Knight, and sighed: "Lord Kevin, just now, the last [True Dragon] has died in battle, and the bloodline of the Nanling Longge royal family has been completely cut off.
The Blood Dragon King is just a dragon stealer who borrowed the name of a real dragon, do you really want to serve him until death?"
"No!" Kevin glared at Georg: "The Dragon Song Royal Family and Princess Edesil! As long as Princess Edesil is still alive, we haven't lost yet!"
Georg frowned deeply: "Sir Kevin... I used to think that you were different from other Nanling soldiers who were returning to the country, but it seems that I thought too much... and actually put all my hope in
For an underage girl...Have you men ever thought about what that girl would think? It is because of people like you that tragedies continue to happen..."
"What do you know!" Seeing Queen Longge fall from the sky with his own eyes, and the last hope was cut off, Kevin had completely fallen into madness: "To be able to dedicate one's life to the glory of the great Nanling and the Immortal Seed is incomparable.
The highest honor and endless happiness!"
Georg stomped on the Green Knight hard: "I'm ashamed to talk to you, Mr. Kevin."
Georg waved to Emerson and the others——
"kill him."
Eight muskets pierced through the gaps in the magic armor without hesitation.
""Bang!"""
The precious magic armor exploded from the inside, and Kevin's body fell to the ground.
.
Fernandum pulled out the long sword from Queen Longsong's chest. The luxuriously dressed lady slid to one side from the hill-like dragon corpse and fell to the ground.
"Mother!" the black-haired girl cried out sadly, rushing out from the shadows of the hall.
The Grand Duke of Silver Rose, the Grand Administrator of Nanling Feldnan Ian, looked at the girl who was crying bitterly while holding her mother's body, and shook his head imperceptibly: "Is this the last owner of Longge's bloodline? Because
I haven’t awakened into a [True Dragon] yet, so I’m lucky enough to survive until now. The once extremely glorious Dragon Song Norton bloodline has become a cursed thing, don’t you think so? Blood Dragon King Ulysses.”
As he spoke, Feldnan stood on the tall dragon corpse, raised his head and looked at the black-robed knight on the high throne at the front of the hall - the Blood Dragon King, Ulysses.
Unlike Queen Long Song, Ulysses is just an ordinary Nanling person.
The years have carved far more profound marks on his body than those of immortality. When he heard Fernandan’s cry, the gray-haired Blood Dragon King raised his gaze and looked at him: “Fernandan! My seventeen sons.
All nine of my daughters died in your hands, are you not even going to let go of my last little daughter?"
"Ulysses, you should understand." The burly Duke of Silver Rose shook his head slightly. He was not worried about someone suddenly jumping out to disrupt the situation. According to the suggestion of a naughty kid in the Duke's palace who was full of evil ideas, Fair
Denan deliberately slowed down the attack on Longge City, using wars of attrition and meat grinding to wear away the last bit of strength of the Nanling people. Now the remaining troops in Ulysses' hands have been completely ground to pieces, and were defeated by [
New Dragon Song City Street Fight] This terrifying monster was swallowed into its belly. Even the secret passages of the palace were discovered and destroyed. The once famous Blood Dragon King now has no power to recover.
"My grandfather was merciful and let go of the female family members of the Longge royal family because of it; and you and Queen Longge who killed my father were the result. Ulysses, I don't intend to leave the issue of Nanling behind.
To my son."
"Ahem..." The Blood Dragon King sat on the throne and coughed twice. He stared at Feldnan with his dark eyes: "Then let's make a deal, Feldnan...
…”
…
…
"...I didn't expect that there was such a method..." Grand Duke Silver Rose slowly walked up the royal steps step by step, "If my grandfather had thought of this method, maybe you and I would be like ordinary teachers and
Like students, sitting together drinking wine."
"This is different, Ferdenan, I only have one daughter left." The old man closed his eyes, looked at the Imperial Duke walking in front of him, loosened the scepter that he had held for a lifetime, and seemed to have also removed it.
I gave up the responsibility I had shouldered for a lifetime and became an ordinary old man again——
With his father: "Don't forget our agreement, Fernandez."
"As I said, I will not force my son to make a choice, Ulysses."
"That's enough..." The Blood Dragon King touched the sword on his chest with trembling fingers, but his eyes looked under the throne, at the girl who stared blankly at her father and mother who died on the same day -
-In just these few months, she has lost twelve brothers and seven sisters.
At the end of his life, the Blood Dragon King reached out to the girl with his blood-covered right hand: "Adesiel... This is the best fate I can create for you... Forget hatred, forget
Pain, use your own will and legs to chase happiness..."
"My daughter..."
