Chapter 596: Nature and machinery

Crancia, Jiansongcheng.

It has been nearly a year since the last time the Golem Legion soldiers of the

Frost Union came to the city. Now this mountain city has changed a lot.

The towering stone walls of gray and white mottled closed the entire valley,

and the river below had a very thick steel fence to block the advance of the

enemy.

Turrets are distributed above the fortress, and some are built on the hills on

both sides, overlooking the canyon below.

It is now the season of early February, and the previously peaceful mountain

valleys have long been broken by the noisy war. A metal golem stepped heavily

on the broken warm pebbles by the river, aiming the muzzle at the strong and

towering canyon fortress, and the crimson magic torrent poured out like money.

As dusk approached, highly compressed magical shells surged in the air. The

original spherical shape was deformed into an ellipse due to the impact of

compression. They landed on the city wall and exploded violently.

The flying rocks and sound waves spread outwards, raising gray dust and fog,

and then leaving ugly cracks in the fortress.

The golem that attacked Jian Songcheng this time is not like the old model

before. This golem roaring and shooting out artillery on the ground has the

lowest level of Sequence 4, and many of them are elite monsters equivalent to

Sequence 5. Like. There was also a Sequence 7 high-level giant golem in the

rear supervising the battle, and it did not take it lightly.

In Jiansong City, a hidden command point in the fortress.

Digital staff officers are moving various signs on the map, quickly discussing

possible situations and opportunities. At the open door, a messenger comes in

from time to time to report on the current situation and situation. After

getting advice from the staff and generals After responding, he left quickly.

After finishing the discussion for the time being, a general wearing a silver-

gray armor took a binoculars to observe the battle ahead, and then issued a

new order to the waiting messenger beside him.

"Let the artillery on the hills on both sides prepare, and when the turrets in

the middle send out the firing signal, they will fire together, striving to

kill a large number of enemy golems within the best range."

"Yes, General Saige!" The soldier immediately walked out of this hidden

observation point and conveyed orders to the hills on both sides.

At this time, the resolute-looking general put down the telescope in his hand,

and he looked at another young man in the room who was dressed differently.

"What does Mr. Tug think the outcome of this battle? Is it to repel the enemy

as before, or do we have to abandon this fortress."

The young mage leaning on the wall was closing his eyes and resting. He was

wearing a dark blue and white mage robe, with a badge and gold chain on his

chest.

After hearing the general's question, Tuge opened his eyes, looked at the huge

moving golems in the distance, and sighed.

"This time is different. It seems that Hanshuang Rose is determined to open

the battle."

"Look." He raised his hand and pointed at the tall golem in the valley that

was constantly roaring and spraying magic torrents.

"That's the'hate-3r' type golem. This high-level golem has abandoned the

powerful shells and used the impact torrent of magic infusion processing to

shoot, making it less demanding for logistics. Continuously rotating sequence

5 or more The mage of, you can do uninterrupted attacks. A single golem can

smash nearly 10 artillery pieces, and its defenses are also very strong."

"Even Ruhrna used to have very few such elite and expensive golems. They used

to be permanently stationed on the border to defend against verdant invasions.

They did not expect that they would dare to take such a risk this time and

bring this legion together. Dispatched here."

"If we keep fighting hard, I am afraid that the soldiers in the entire

fortress will die under the fiery torrent of its bombardment."

Hearing that Saige's expression gradually became solemn, he asked: "Then do

you have any good suggestions?"

Tug tapped his finger and paused for a few seconds before continuing to

answer.

"If the southern route is not closed, we can still ask the group of tyrannical

dragons to rush to destroy these golems, but now... we don’t have a good way.

Now we can use too much power. It's too weak to destroy these solid golems

under fierce gunfire."

"Therefore, I still recommend that you prepare for the retreat in advance and

try to transfer the soldiers in the fortress to avoid unnecessary casualties."

"Retreat, then retire again." Saige slammed his fist against the wall aside in

resentment, gritted his teeth.

In the last retreat, many people he knew and knew died in the battle. He

didn't expect that after two years, it is still the result. What are the

fortresses and defenses that I have worked hard to build in the past two

years? Familiar faces from the past appeared in his mind, causing waves of

sadness in his heart.

Is everything in vain? It is difficult for him to accept such a result. He

slammed his fist against the stone wall, loudly and loudly.

The several staff officers on the side were also taken aback by his momentum,

stopped the previous discussion and looked at the general who was out of

control.

Time passed slowly, and the outside artillery fire continued. After a long

time, the general took a deep breath before turning around.

"Sorry, I made you laugh, but I didn't control my emotions." His eyes were red

and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Nothing." Tug shook his head slightly, saying he didn't mind, he understood

the general's feelings.

Since coming to New Wilga and Crancia, he has seen those brave and respectable

soldiers sacrificed in the battlefield more than once. These people may have

never left their hometown before, nor do they know the strangers, but for the

country today, they are willing to dedicate their lives and fight for their

homeland and dignity.

In the army, these comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death

together have extremely deep emotions between them, which are not comparable

to those of the temporarily recruited soldiers of other countries.

"If we still have to retreat in the end, what do you think we should do so

that we can inflict the greatest damage on the other party and stop them for a

longer period of time." He asked again.

"About this..." Tuge pushed the glasses on his nose, opened the thick blue-

and-white book in his hand, picked up the pen and began to draw and calculate

the drafts.

After that, the two of them continued to discuss with the several staff

members in the room, and finally made up a detailed plan.

————

Unlike the orderly Crancia defenders, the attack on Frost Rose's side was much

quicker.

A fiery torrent cut through the sky and flooded the shooting port on the

fortress. Then, under the cover of some cheap earth and rock golems, a frosty

united soldier approached below the fortress. They used the ropes ejected by

the golems. , Climbing up the stone wall of the fortress, wearing special

shoes on his feet to prevent slipping.

These elite soldiers carried mechanical guns and swords, stepped into the

bombed shooting holes, and then entered the inner lanes of the fortress, ready

to directly attack the garrisoned artillery and kill the vulnerable enemies

inside.

"This time I finally succeeded." Behind Hanshuang United, a woman in her 20s

put down the telescope in her hand and said cheerfully and proudly.

The woman's name is Hedley, who is the commander of this group of golems, and

the leader of the younger generation of the alchemy faction "Black and Red

Flame". Although he is only 28 years old, he has reached the level of Magic

Sequence 7 and is optimistic by all parties, who think it may be possible to

reach the extreme of Sequence 9.

This time on the battlefield was her first commanding battle. Even though she

was born with a reputation and extraordinary strength, but she couldn't attack

for a long time, it still made her feel annoyed.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is already a rare genius, not only

graduated from Emenas, but also the daughter of the leader of the Rulna

faction, with a bright future. But she also has to face competition from many

more outstanding peers.

I don't know what the reasons are. Starting from the past few years, every

country has begun to emerge a rare genius. At the same age, they are more

dazzling and stronger than the previous generations.

"After I go back this time, I must slap the * in the face of Tirela

fiercely and dare to * a man from me."

She watched sparks exploded from the shooting ports in the distant fortress,

and then fell silent, with a slanted smile on her face. Recalling the genius

of the same age who had a body that seduce others, she began to imagine how

she would become the opponent's boss by virtue of her military merits and then

wantonly suppress the other party.

"Hahaha, Tirela, I want to see, apart from your seductive appearance, what

else is commendable? Isn't it just a year earlier than me to advance to Magic

Sequence 7? Look at me in the future. A hypocritical mask that reveals your

true identity."

As geniuses who graduated from the same college in the same year as Tirela,

the relationship between the two can be described as bad. Although Hedley has

a lot of power in the family, more people around them prefer Tirela, who is

gentle and understanding. And every time people around him defend Tirela,

Hedley will resent him even more, thinking that it is blocking her own

brilliance.

But just as this genius alchemist was dreaming about the future, the

battlefield ahead suddenly changed.

On the hills on both sides, the soil slopes where trees grew everywhere

suddenly collapsed, exposing the dark shooting turrets inside. Following an

order came from it, a fierce fire suddenly lit up, and heavy shells directly

smashed from the side to the golem formation below.

Crushed stones splashed, and some golems were directly shattered by the

artillery fire from the rear side. Black smoke and broken metal were scattered

everywhere, and bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the valley.

The inferior earth and rock golems that had previously protected the troops

from climbing and attacking were also shattered by gunfire. Blocked the way

for the Frost Union soldiers to continue their attack on the inside.

Inside the fortress, SEG took the elite guards around him and began to sweep

away the enemy troops who came in to destroy them.

Several Frost Union soldiers with mechanical blunderbuss galloped along the

lane. They kicked open the closed doors one by one, and then pressed the

button on the hilt. The magic spar among them was connected to the engraved

magic circle. The dark red light covers the sword body to increase the effect

of sundering armor, and then slashes and kills the enemies in the room, trying

to catch it by surprise, and then drastically destroys the artillery and other

materials in the fortress.

Ping-pong-pong, the sound of metal symphony sounded everywhere, bursts of

explosions came from the room, and then they walked out of it and rushed to

the shooting opening in the next fortress.

"That's it for you!" Saige pulled out the dark golden dagger around his waist

and looked at the small but elite enemy army in front of him.

"Kill!" With a stern shout, the red light mark and the golden sword light

collided with each other, and the two sides began a fierce battle in the lane.

嚓——

A blazing sword light flashed, and several Frost Union soldiers were knocked

directly to the wall behind them, and then they slowly slid down, flowing red

blood without a sound.

Although the equipment of this group of people is very good, but SEG, as the

general of Crancia and outstanding meritorious service, is not only stronger,

but also has received the gift of the sage, and has now reached the level of

Sequence 7. , To deal with such an enemy is naturally easy to catch.

————

Outside the fortress, under the cross of the artillery on the hills on both

sides, the Golem Legion had to suspend its attack on the fortress and instead

dealt with the bunker on the mountain.

As it stabilized its position and blasted the muzzles on the mountains one by

one, the situation slowly turned to the Frost Union side. What's more deadly

was that on the other side of the sky, bursts of roaring sound began to sound.

An airship approached slowly in the purple sunset, and then dropped heavy

bombs, directly blasting a huge gap in the center of the fortress.

Seeing this, the defenders in the fortress finally began to retreat, and the

shooting ports slowly stopped.

A group of cheap earth and rock golems stepped forward again to clear the

road, and then the soldiers and follow-up elite golems of the Frost Union

continued to enter the fortress.

"Do you need a chase, Lord Hedley?" A mage flew up from the side and landed

next to the commander of the golem legion.

"Of course, these people must be slaughtered." Hedley showed a cruel smile on

her face.

"Yes." The mage returned to his golem, and then a hurried pursuit command was

sent to the surroundings.

Under the towering fortress, there is a dark and dense valley and jungle, one

by one Croatian soldiers hide in them, and they are retreating to the north.

They gradually spread out to avoid enemy bombing.

But the Frost Union obviously did not want to let these opponents go so

easily. Their airships slid across the sky like death in the night, and then

huge flame meteors fell from the sky and smashed into the dark ground, setting

off countless orange light and air currents. .

The flames licked the air, crackled and burned, and the suffocating heat wave

began to spread, reflecting the earth like daylight, and many soldiers were

wailing and running in it. Even if they had made preparations and arrangements

in advance, they still could not guarantee everyone's Survived.

And in the face of this arbitrary destruction and burning, a whistling sound

of cold breaking through the sky came from the distant sky.

When Hedley and other high-level mages noticed it, a group of swiftly flying

figures appeared in the sky at some point. These birds, only half a meter

wide, have deep blue sharp wings, like flying sharp sickles, splitting the

atmosphere. all.

"That's..." They guessed suspiciously, and in the dark jungle, a wizard from

the Southern Islands said the answer.

"They are beheading sparrows from the Tiziran Mountains."

With the help of the cover of night, these beheading birds flashed through the

random release of magical shooting, and easily split the metal shell of the

airship. The tearing and sharp sound rang in the night sky, and then the

fragile mechanical structure of an airship was exposed. Continued to be

damaged.

More than 30 airships swayed in the sky like drunk, and finally couldn't hold

it. They fell into the sea of fire below and smashed to pieces. Various

structures were set off in the flames, and then scattered again, as the flames

spread, Many ordinary people who were too late to escape let out a painful

wailing one after another.

"Fuck!" Hedley couldn't help but explode.

She dived into the huge golem under her body, and then a magnificent golem

slowly rose on the ground, stepping through the fortress lined with broken

stone walls and walking into the forest of the sea of fire behind it,

Looking into the night sky.

This golem has a sharp and sharp outer armor. With the brilliance of the

surface, steam spews out, and the hatches open, and a series of fast-flying

silver and blue swords fly out from behind, straight into the night sky.

These silver-blue swords were shining with lightning, and their blades were

extremely sharp. After sweeping the night sky, they directly strangled the

beheading sparrows in the sky one by one, and their feathers and blood were

scattered like rain.

"Can't continue like this." A faint sigh sounded in the dark mountains and

jungles, and he opened the fluorescent book in front of him. This ordinary

book on weekdays burst out with a bright blue light as if it were transparent

at this moment, the pages of the book were turned, and a series of spells

emerged from the sky, like hundreds of voices singing together.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that these voices are one person.

Tug opened his hands, letting the books in front of him float slowly,

surrounded by green and cold whirlwinds, a striking beam of light rose from

the ground, penetrated into the sky, and spread out continuously.

And this momentum naturally attracted Hedley to drive the giant golem. With a

wave of her hand, hundreds of silver and blue swords broke through the air and

plunged into the high-speed chanting mage.

But the ‘Book of Iris’ tile has also finished casting the spell at this

moment, and a light green transparent butterfly wing rises from the pages of

the book.

"Fairy Village Secret Art·Naturally Awaken." With this call, the beam of light

suddenly spread, spreading around like a ripple.

Afterwards, the land and forest in the sea of fire seemed to come alive.

The land seemed to be swimming like living creatures, constantly surging, and

many golems fell in the wobbly earth, and then struggled to stand up.

"This, what is this!?" There was horror in his voice.

The roots of the branches pierced the earth to bring a moist

dragged the golems into the depths of the soil, buried them under the soil,

and then sealed them for suffocation. Died.

The giant golem roared silently, and a fiery beam of light spouted from its

chest, sweeping the ground, cutting off thousands of raging tree roots, and

then gathering turbulent flame magic power, following the heavy blow of its

fist, A crimson shock wave erupted on the ground, shattering the roots of the

trees.

Seeing this scene, the roots in the ground and soil also changed the course of

their scattered attacks. They continued to converge on the giant golem,

entwined and climbed upwards, strangling and blocking its actions, and

dragging it into the depression step by step. And muddy soil.

The roaring war machinery roared fiercely, shaking and sawtooth cutting the

roots of the evil and weird trees, vowing to burn and destroy the place.

The growing plant is like an immortal ghost, tightly entwined, even if it is

cut off, it will grow again, and it is bound to bury the ruthless machinery

that destroys nature.

In the mud and flames, cold living creatures and hot dead creatures strangle

each other.

——And now, nature is at odds with machinery.
