A heavy golden cannonball weighing tens of kilograms was pressed into the barrel, and then the bolt was closed. Under the operation of magic power, the complex lines on the hot red barrel brightened, and the enchanted cannonball in the barrel
Resonating with each other, the boiling magic power was faintly emitted, and then with a sudden loud noise, this blazing golden cannonball was launched.
Breaking through the layers of obstacles in the atmosphere, causing screams and sounds, the cannonball rushed into the wilderness outside the city in a straight trajectory in an instant.
On the noisy city wall were musketeers who kept firing. Choking smoke and fire filled the city head, and the continuous sound of shooting seemed to never stop.
Such a violent attack, according to Frost Alliance's past assessment, should be enough to tear apart any enemy formation, but this time it was in vain.
War sequence, this extraordinary sequence is just like its name. All developments and improvements are prepared for war. Under the resonance and unity of common beliefs, the individual strength will be improved layer by layer, and the entire military formation will be integrated into a whole.
, like an advancing prehistoric beast.
Under the mighty cold front, those shells exploded as if they hit the tip of a knife, and then the remaining fragments were crushed by the military formation below, dissipating like fireflies.
Most of the bullets from the many downward-firing muskets gradually lose kinetic energy in the air, and finally fall on armor and shields like drizzle, making only a tinkling sound.
Facing this uniform, slowly advancing, but unstoppable army, many soldiers and extraordinary beings on the city wall began to feel desperate and crazy, and could only rely on constant attacks to numb their fearful hearts and emotions.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
His voice sounded like madness, and the gun in his hand gradually overheated and turned red. Finally, as soon as the bullet was put in, it was detonated directly in the chamber.
Before the army outside the city even approached the city wall, many defenders died directly on the city wall for this reason, which further damaged the morale of the defenders.
Bang, a soldier dropped the musket in his hand and slowly collapsed on the ground against the wall behind him.
"We can't win... We are dead... We are dead..."
Seeing his despairing and giving up look, many soldiers who were still attacking beside him also fell silent, and the loading and shooting movements gradually became numb and slow, as if they were just mechanical repetitions.
"Hold on, we still have strong and tall city walls, and we still have those stacked cross-fire fortresses." Seeing this, an officer had to speak out to encourage him. Even now, he felt a wave of heart palpitations and uneasiness. But this can
So what, his family is behind the city, and he was able to become an officer because he had an uncle who was a mage under a certain master. With such a relationship entangled, if he left the country, his life would probably be even worse.
"Yes, we still have the city wall, no problem."
He was murmuring and repeating these words, not knowing whether he was comforting the soldiers or himself, but he had no choice now, right? If he ran away, he would probably be immediately shot to death by the supervising team at the rear.
With the constant sound of artillery fire ringing in his ears, he lowered the brim of his hat and looked silently and heavily at the approaching wind curtain flag.
As Clantia's banner with white background and gold spikes gradually approached the city wall, it suddenly paused, surprising the soldiers on the city wall and feeling a sense of disaster.
But this feeling did not last long. There was a heavy and sore turning sound from the distant hills in the wilderness, as if a heavy chariot stepping on the earth slowly entered the scene.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge impact angle that is slightly upward. On the huge impact angle that makes people have to look up, there are layers of gray calcium threads, rough and delicate, slightly revealing the ancient and desolate gray-blue.
This intimidating and huge collision angle is 20 stories high, and the soldiers below appear low and small in comparison.
And when this chariot carrying a giant ram came on stage, the vast military formation separated neatly like a tide, leaving a path for it to advance.
The attack on the Mozwa city wall also temporarily stopped. Many mages and soldiers were shocked by this terrifying war machine, and the fear of ancient life seemed to be awakened from their blood.
[Ultra-ancient gray bluestone]: The product of the combination of ancient life and extraordinary power. Even if it dies, the remaining giant body is still shocking.
(Cornerstone: The ocean overlord during the Ordovician period about 460 million years ago. The only surviving subspecies today is the nautilus.
——————
Lorraine Hill was riding a horse, standing on the hill, looking at the huge corner stone in front of him that blocked the sky from his field of vision, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This giant corner stone body was a gift from the Southern Islands. They discovered it on the seabed many years ago. A month ago, she dispatched six Alexa-class battleships and dozens of extraordinary Sequence 6 beings to bring this body to the bottom of the sea.
The giant thing was pulled up from the bottom of the sea and dragged to the land.
After that, nearly a thousand craftsmen and alchemists were summoned to design a chariot base specially for it and placed it on it for use today.
In the ancient times of the Ordovician period, when many primitive life forms were still tiny and less than a millimeter in size, the giant hornstones, which were several meters long, could be described as ancient behemoths.
However, with the development of hundreds of millions of years, it slowly disappeared into history, and later life gradually became huge, so its size became inconspicuous.
The corner stones that are slowly climbing up the hillside are not fossils hundreds of millions of years ago. According to the conclusion reached by Lorraine Hill through systematic analysis, this may be the attempt of the 'Tree of Life Sect' to restore ancient organisms.
It is only under the influence of extraordinary strength that it can grow to such a huge body.
I'm really curious about what attempts and research those major factions made in their respective fields back then, Lorraine Hill sighed.
The "Tree of Life Sect" is keen on life and transformation and change, making it more adaptable and utilizing extraordinary powers.
The "original heart" desires to achieve inner flawlessness and establish the kingdom of heaven on earth.
The "Mechanical Parliament" still hopes to use AI, mechanization, and electronics to solve the world's problems.
The "Cloud of Traceability" shuttles through the gaps in space, hiding itself, integrating into various organizations and factions like water, observing and recording everything.
The "Deep Sea Union" abandoned the vast social structure and traveled alone among the galaxies and universe with a few individuals and individuals.
Scenes from the past reappeared in his mind. Even if Lorraine Hill did not experience that era personally, the magnificent changes and ups and downs were enough to make people miss and marvel at it.
On the other side of the battlefield, when the huge horned stone, like a rhinoceros ramming its horn, climbed onto the hill, one orc shaman from the rear military formation came out, and under their combined spells, the ground from the hill to the city wall slowly
It trembles and undulates, eventually forming a straight and inclined runway.
At this time, driven by the joint efforts of nearly a thousand high-level orc warriors, this heavy giant slowly moved forward, and then slid towards the spacious giant passage.
When the defenders on the city wall saw this scene, their mood continued to sink as the giant chariot started to slowly start.
"Blow it up!" There was fear and anger in the urgent voice.
More than a dozen magic crystal cannons turned against the chariot that started slowly like a rhinoceros, and then the crimson-gold shells poured out, straight across the trajectory and shot towards the giant horn stone.
But this time, because the army was separated, there was no dense military formation around the tank to protect it. The cannonballs did not encounter much obstruction when they cut through the air. They directly hit it and exploded.
Like a suppressed thunder bursting, the bursting airflow and heat wave made the eardrums deaf for a while, and the burst of energy could be felt even on the city wall thousands of meters away.
A few seconds later, the fire waves and smoke dissipated. The defenders on the city wall looked eagerly at the scene after the bombing, but there was no joy on their faces, only silence and depression.
The heavy corner stone is gray-green, with tiny pits on its spiral lines, like bubbles that condensed after disappearing, but they feel smoother to the touch. The heavy and hard calcium condensation, the shell of this giant horn stone tens of thousands of years ago is still there.
In perfect condition.
It was advancing faster and faster on the slope. Even though the shots on the city wall continued and some holes were blasted on the ground, it seemed to be a trivial matter under the crushing weight of the unstoppable heavy wheels.
Finally, the heavy impact angle carried the amazing kinetic energy and directly hit the towering city wall. The sound of broken bricks and stones was heard, and a huge gap was opened in the strong and towering city wall.
Thousands of banners advanced again, and armored warriors holding spears poured into the city like a tide. When viewed from the sky, it was as if a deep iron nail had been inserted into a round clock dial, and steel and spears entered the dial.
's interior.
——————
Smoke and gunshots rang out in the city, and there were resisting mages and soldiers on many bell towers and city towers. The streets were in chaos, with sounds of running, crying, and fighting everywhere.
When facing the city's fall, the old order began to collapse. Some officers tried to order the fleeing soldiers to fight back, but now few people were willing to obey the order. Some mages closed their homes and courtyards tightly, activated the sleeping golems one by one, and
I prayed the last prayer in my room, even if it was useless psychological comfort.
Some bold and cruel people also took advantage of the war to break into the homes of former rich people, preparing to make a fortune and change their lives before escaping.
Now under the inscribed tower in the center, senior generals were frowning and staring at the mages in front of them.
"Are those adults still unwilling to come out?" He was talking about the representatives and leaders of several major factions in Lurna.
"Sorry, General, several adults are making final decisions inside." The Sequence 7 mage was wearing a white and blue windbreaker, blocking the doorway with sweat on his forehead.
The situation had already taken a turn for the worse that could be seen with the naked eye, but at this time, the senior management inside the Frost Alliance was nowhere to be seen, making many soldiers worried and angry.
"Get out of the way, whether it's a lie or the truth, it's the last moment." A veteran with a gray beard came forward, he slowly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, his eyes were cold and firm.
"Sorry..." The words were cut off by the chopping blade.
A straight knife with pale golden veins struck directly at the emerging light blue barrier, trembling, and sparks of magic and tiny explosions continued to come from the place where the collision came into contact.
Seeing this scene, the generals next to them no longer remained silent. They also drew their swords and pointed them at the elite mages guarding the door.
"It seems that the generals have decided to rebel." The mage in a blue and white trench coat said this, with some relief in his tone.
"You are the ones who betrayed the people, right?" A general from the rear wearing dark scale armor stepped forward, holding a simple dark gold spear in his hand.
"Under the initiative and orders of those adults, the country launched the war, but now at the last moment, they have disappeared without any explanation."
"Even if you come out and take your family to escape and surrender, it is acceptable, but, no! Nothing! Now even people can't be found. Are they cowardly cowards!"
"The adults have made their own decisions. I can't tell you." The blue and white mage guarding the gate still answered like this. He seemed to have already made up his mind.
"Then go to hell! Fire!"
Under the general's order, three rows of magic crystal gunmen behind him fired at the people under the tower.
The crimson short-blazing fires sounded densely. At such a close distance, even these elite mages could not bear it. The previously solid barrier was shattered and flying scenes, and its brilliance quickly weakened.
brush--
Finally, a bullet passed through the light blue barrier and shot into the mage's chest. A flower of blood emerged, which was the sound of the bullet passing through flesh and bones.
Immediately afterwards, more blood appeared on his chest, arms, and legs, and he slowly fell down like a rag doll.
The corners of his mouth and teeth were covered with blood. He looked at the gradually blurring and gray sky and muttered to himself.
"You guys don't understand anything..."
His arms were raised slightly, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end they fell down without any strength, and there was no sound again.
The soldiers stepped forward and dragged the bodies of the mages aside, then used cannons to blast open the gate of the tower and rushed inside.
The air in the tower was cold and very quiet. Hundreds of soldiers climbed up the long stairs and searched toward the top floor and various rooms.
More than ten minutes later.
"Report to the general, there is no one inside."
There were still constant battles and artillery fire in the city, but the leading generals in the center calmed down.
"Did they escape..." one of them said, his voice full of confusion.
"Maybe, but now, we will become the top commanders of this country and city." The old general said this.
"Give the soldiers an order to shrink their defense lines and prepare to surrender."
He slowly walked out of the dark tower and looked at the gray sky full of gunpowder smoke outside, his voice full of exhaustion and loss.
"Yes, General."
After hearing this, the soldiers below also looked relieved. This scene made several other generals sigh slightly, and then waved their hands for others to follow suit.
"Give the children a way to survive."
Under the war-filled sky, these generals were sitting on benches outside the tower, looking at the dusty flowers and grass in front of them. Their appearance and demeanor suddenly looked much older, and their figures stretched out behind the benches.
And the blur slowly welcomes the arrival of the last moment.
