The Western Territory of the Empire, Grizzly Bear Territory.

It was just dawn, and the morning fog in the mountains had not completely dissipated. The tall city fortress was shrouded in the mist and was vaguely visible. The alert soldiers, despite their sleepiness, still stood on the city wall, patrolling back and forth from time to time.

Under the hill on the south side of the fortress, soldiers in gray military uniforms lowered their waists, holding muskets, and carefully walked through the shade of the forest, jumped over water-filled potholes, and shuttled through the mountainside as quietly as possible.

. They took advantage of the cover of the trees to avoid the detection of the cruising gryphon knights in the sky, and gradually approached the huge fortress standing in the mountains from the side.

At 8 o'clock, the sun slowly rises and the white fog in the mountains gradually begins to dissipate.

Each squad leader quietly walked through the ravine where he was hiding, gesturing to each soldier, and then watched them nod one by one and received a prepared reply.

Time passed by minute by second. These soldiers were crowded in this narrow ravine. It was hot and crowded. No one spoke. They could only hear each other's slow beating heartbeats and smell the smell of sweat.

Mixed with a little dew and earthy smell in the morning.

Some people began to close their eyes and take deep breaths, while others slowly touched the black gun body in their hands and carefully inspected it over and over again.

The golden sunlight passes through the gaps between the trees and shines diagonally into the corners of the forest, forming a visible grating in the faint morning mist. Occasionally, one or two rabbits and forest deer cross the grass, nibbling on the grass, and then raise their heads to look at it.

Look around to see if there are any enemies.

The temperature in the ravine is getting higher and higher, and the world outside is still silent.

"Peng Peng"

The dull sound of shooting broke the morning tranquility.

A shrieking sound streaked across the sky, landed on the city wall, and then exploded, with rocks flying and some soldiers defending the city being shattered to pieces in the explosion.

A long horn began to sound in the fortress, and then more rapid artillery fire continued to bombard the mountain fortress.

Unfortunately, the effect was not good, because the defenders did not leave too many soldiers on the city wall. Their commanders were already familiar with this kind of attack and adopted a more multi-layered defense system.

Soon, counterattack artillery fire also sounded in the fortress, and the attacking artillery position began to be bombarded. Even with the interference of witches and mages, the bombardment of some artillery shells began to cause casualties.

The cannons that were finally transported into the mountains from the south were blown to pieces in the return fire. The soldiers who fired were killed by the explosions of the cannonballs, and the remaining soldiers also began to evacuate.

But such sacrifice finally brought a rare opportunity.

A wall of the fortress collapsed, revealing a rare gap.

If it had been in the past, by the time the attacking coalition forces rushed forward, this gap would have been heavily guarded, with dense war machinery set up and a sandbag defense line laid out.

This situation has happened many times in the past few months of attack and defense. The general defending the city is not a mediocre person, but a new generation of generals in the western region of the empire. He has formulated many counterattack plans for this fortress. Every time there is a flaw,

Any display will be quickly repaired by him. Unless there is an absolute gap in strength, it is basically impossible to break through the elite legion led by him on the battlefield.

However, today's situation did not develop as usual.

The moment the gap appeared, crimson flares pierced the sky with a whistling sound, and then the desolate attack horn began to blow.

The dark figures in the ravine jumped out and ran towards the gap that appeared at the fastest speed in their lives. They held muskets and ran and jumped among the rugged rocks and shrubs, as if they were crazy.

"Bang bang"

In the crenellations of the city wall, the muskets set up began to shoot. Black and red blood flowers appeared from time to time among the running figures, and then they fell to the ground in pain. The rich blood overflowed from the covered palms and mixed in the soil.

As they struggled and twisted, the gravel and dust were dyed a deep red.

As the blood flowed more and more, he began to feel that the vision in front of him became dark, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his body also had the illusion of being cold.

Slowly, the soldier stopped struggling and lay motionless under the early morning sky.

The battle was still going on. Soldiers in gray uniforms ran past him. They charged into the exposed gap, climbed over the huge gray gravel, and then picked up their guns and shot at the enemy.

Flowers of blood bloomed on the gray military uniforms. The first soldier who broke into the city was beaten into pieces by concentrated bullets, but the successors also rushed in one after another. They searched for possible bunkers with their eyes, rolled and charged, and then

Shoot and shoot.

The bullets hit the rocks and the ground with crisp sounds, and there were sounds of shooting and shouting everywhere. After dozens of people were sacrificed, the soldiers who rushed into the fortress finally began to fight back and cover.

"Lower down and don't stop!"

The squad leader's shouting voice rang out amidst the noisy gunfire, and then he rushed out of the narrow bunker with his gun in hand to make room for the soldiers who followed.

After that, soldiers one after another rushed out of the bunker and charged towards the enemy who was shooting in front. They could not stop and had to expand the results in the only time. They could not stay in the bunker and always had to leave room for the following teammates.

Dazzling firelight bloomed at the muzzle of the gun. In the shaking and sour vision, the enemy's existence was obscured by dust and firelight, making it difficult to see clearly.

In the violent heartbeat, teammates in front and beside him fell from time to time, but the fire from the enemy's fire never diminished.

Another painful roll, a sharp pain came from his left shoulder, and then he was ignored again. Lying behind the squad leader's body, he finally got a precious breath, and at this time he could see clearly the enemy who was shooting in the dust and firelight.

.

Slowly, he fumbled for the musket in his hand, took a deep breath, then rolled violently, raised the butt of the gun on the ground, aimed and fired.

A blood flower bloomed in response, and then the shooting figure on the opposite side fell. Soon, the defending soldiers also reacted. Three bullets were fired at him in a few seconds. Two of them deflected, and one hit the ground.

On the left arm, it was torn through.

Before he could scream in pain, he concentrated on aiming and shooting again, hitting another guarding enemy.

Unfortunately, before he could smile one last time, a bullet was shot from above and penetrated this young man's life.

Thick black smoke and gunpowder smoke filled the air, turning the originally blue sky into gray. The pungent smell spread everywhere, and dead bodies were everywhere. Soldiers from both sides fought fiercely under the crenellations of the city wall.

The shells fell into the ground, creating a huge impact and bringing up several stories of soil. Some soldiers were buried in the scattered dust, but had to quickly wipe their cheeks and crawl out to continue charging.

After the soldiers in front opened up this fleeting fighter plane, the southern coalition positions also began to provide support. The heavy cavalry in white armor roared forward in the narrow mountain road and rushed towards the gap under the city fortress where gunfire continued.

The gryphon knights in the fortress also rushed into the air amidst the sound of artillery. They did not care about the battlefields in the complex terrain of the fortress, but went straight towards the heavy cavalry charging down the mountain.

Compared with ordinary soldiers without extraordinary abilities, these armored and sharp white lion heavy cavalry are the biggest threat.

In the gray sky, each 'Thunder Flame' filled with special kerosene was shot down from the air. The dark gold gun body broke on the ground, and the crystal fragments exploded and detonated the kerosene, forming a spreading blazing flame that flooded the people below.

Heavy cavalry.

The defenders occupying the sky can always gain more and even crushing advantages on the battlefield.

But this time, they finally met an unprecedented opponent.

The dull roar of propellers came from the distant sky, the iron-gray body, the wide wingspan, and the hanging continuous fire machine.

A series of special aircraft lined up across the silent sky, and the diffuse roar was like announcing the end of the world, so shocking.

Along with the adjustment of the fuselage, these iron-gray 'giant birds' swooped down. The hanging four-door continuous shooting machine rotated rapidly, and bullets poured out, beating the griffins flying in the sky into white feathers and white feathers.

A sieve of blood.

Southern Craft, a brand-new aircraft jointly developed by the Southern Islands and Southern Territory mages, has achieved unexpected results after being equipped with war machinery. And because the first batch of production lines were laid out in the Southern Territory Longyi Province, it was named 'Dragon Wing Aircraft'

.

After being equipped with anti-gravity devices, the lift gained by the wings can carry more weight, and steel and war machinery with strong defense can also be installed on these dragon-wing aircraft.

Paired with special enchanted bullets and a repeating device with skills learned from Cranthia, the aircraft becomes an art treasure and a terrifying killer on the battlefield.

Accompanied by a dive and roar that almost shattered the heart, these dragon-wing aircraft rushed through the sky in front of the fortress, sweeping across the gryphon knights who were interfering and shooting. The metal firing pins fired bullets crisply, and in the continuous firelight, the bullets were flying in the air.

It was stretched into a line visible to the naked eye, and the gryphon knights who could not dodge swept it and beat it into broken pieces of cloth.

"No!"

In the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and roar, the old knight riding on the golden-maned griffon was unwilling and enraged. He held a thunder gun in his hand and fired it with a roar.

The dazzling electric light illuminated the ground for an instant and then disappeared.

The wings of a dragon-wing aircraft were broken in the sky, and the fuselage was completely charred and damaged. It rolled down from the sky with its exposed engine and billowing smoke.

Black-red flames and thick smoke streaked across the sky in a long flame tail, falling on the fortress wall, triggering another explosion and directly breaking through the wall.

After facing the swooping fire of these dragon-winged aircraft, the leader of the Griffin Knights, Ludes, had to lead the remaining people to climb up in an emergency and spread out to avoid the extremely ferocious bullets and artillery fire of the dragon-winged aircraft.

Without the interference of the gryphon knights, the white lion knights in white armor finally rushed into the city. Their strong armor and bodies were like iron walls, resisting the continuous shooting on the street and becoming a bunker for the rear troops.

and bunkers, and began to advance rapidly.

The situation finally opened up and the battle entered a fierce stage.

After lifting the defense of the outer city wall, the southern coalition forces began to enter the city on a large scale. The battle in the sky still did not stop. The knights driving the gryphons quickly dispersed after facing the attack of the dragon-winged aircraft. They kept spinning in the high air.

Move to avoid the dangerous and ferocious artillery fire, and then drop the lightning-wrapped thunder gun when the dragon-winged plane misses you.

The sharp gun blade is enough to break through the steel shell of the dragon-wing aircraft. With a flash of electric light, its internal devices are often directly destroyed. The dragon-wing aircraft that loses power plummets into the sky with thick smoke, and many pilots who have no time to escape

In this way, he and the Dragon Wing were buried in a sea of ​​fire and explosions.

But there are also pilots who are extremely determined. After understanding that the crash of the dragon-wing aircraft is inevitable, they will try their best to adjust the direction and let the dragon-wing aircraft fly in the direction of the city fortress, using Fei-gold enchanted bullets to penetrate those solid fortresses and defeat the enemy.

The army's position was finally hit by towering shooting towers and stone walls.

"Follow me!"

At the forefront of the fortress, Geranen wore a lion's mane cloak and strode forward with a broad sword in his hand. His sword slashed horizontally, swaying white air waves and directly overturning the oncoming bullets and arrows.

Facing this powerful son of the griffon, the garrison stationed there was frightened, but they had to suppress their shock and kept shooting and blocking.

The dense bullets shot out towards him, and sparks burst out from the silver armor. Soon after, a blazing fireball flew out from the side of the fortress tower, then circled around and pounced directly on the son of the griffon.

.

The dazzling and suffocating white flames drowned his figure, and the oncoming scorching waves of air made the knight behind him unable to retreat temporarily.
