The war has never stopped on this continent. As far as history is concerned, the glory of the Lane family only changed the way humans record history from the Thorn Calendar to the Lane Calendar.
In the year 6120 of the Thorn Calendar, the snow that has not faded from the cold winter is still resisting the buds of the new spring.
The long, dark dragon in the distance is getting closer and closer to this isolated castle. Under the intersecting sunlight of the two suns, you can see the cold light reflected from the heavy grass in the hands of the knight in heavy armor in front of the long dragon.
A small airship appeared on the edge of the castle and swooped in the direction of the elevator. If people living in the Lion Calendar saw this airship, they would be amazed. The speed of this airship is so fast that it completely exceeds their expectations of airships.
cognition.
However, the next moment the airship hit the solid floor of the lift, the huge momentum instantly smashed it into pieces. The flying parts were still rushing forward, and they did not stop until they hit the wall on the other side. The remaining parts were
Magical energy begins to burn.
The faint blue flames danced gently, which seemed to indicate that the war had spread here. The guards on the lift platform hurriedly cleaned up the wreckage of the airship, and finally found the body of the messenger who drove the airship.
They found the latest news from the Royal Capital on his body. On the paper that was half-destroyed by the flames, it was written vaguely: The Royal Capital...Fall...King...Hanging...
…
The long dragon finally surrounded this tiny castle. It seemed a bit redundant to attack an isolated castle with an endless number of people. However, the leader, General Tu, still issued instructions meticulously, and the army was operating in an orderly manner.
A trebuchet was set up and pushed to the front of the line.
The battle to capture the royal capital made the leading generals understand that these blasphemers who cannot use magic are not as easy to deal with as imagined. Who knows what strange things these people will create with valuable magic crystals.
What surprised the leading general was that the several advance teams sent did not find any blasphemers escaping from the castle. This meant that these blasphemers had decided to defend this place. More importantly, they could not torture anyone in the castle without taking prisoners.
situation.
"Damn it!" General Tu cursed heavily at the castle. Without knowing what was inside the castle, it would be difficult for him to deploy his troops against those strange creations.
There is indeed something in the castle that makes General Tu afraid. In the square in the center of the castle, various magic machines are sleeping quietly, with one or two operators sitting on each magic machine.
There are also scattered busy people around the magic machine. They place magic crystals on the energy slots of the magic machine to awaken these man-made beasts.
They can do things that their masters cannot do. They can absorb the energy of magic crystals and use it to drive the body, or turn it into terrifying attacks.
The principle of their operation is similar to the airships in the minds of people living in Lenli, but they are more advanced than airships. They are also more feared than airships. Therefore, magicians, those who do not have these technologies, and even the gods above,
They all called their owners blasphemers and tried to destroy them.
They have this confidence that no matter how powerful the magic machine is, after the magic crystal is used up, it is just a pile of metal and wood mixture.
Therefore, the destruction of the last blasphemer in the castle is inevitable.
"Your Highness Yvette, you must go in there!" The captain of the guard, regardless of the girl's struggle in his arms, took her to the center of the castle's secret room and signaled his men to activate the magic device in the secret room.
"But..." The former princess wanted to say something else, but was pushed gently by the captain of the guard and fell into the cylinder of the magic device. Yvette could only let the captain of the guard close the stone door of the cylinder for a moment.
Then he got up unwillingly and beat the hard stone wall desperately.
The magic device roared, and then, rich magic elements poured into the cylinder where Yvette was. It was activating an ancient magic circle, and magic runes loomed on the stone walls of the cylinder. And the knocks came from inside the cylinder.
The sound became quieter and quieter, until it reached a reassuring silence.
The captain of the guard understood that time in the cylinder had been suspended, and Her Royal Highness Yvette had also fallen into a deep sleep, maybe for a few days, or maybe for a longer period of time. He did not dare to delay any longer, and ordered his men to turn on the mechanism of the magic device.
Returning to its original position, the cylinder and the surrounding mechanical stone pillars began to slowly sink and merged with the floor, making the secret room feel empty.
Then, the captain of the guard began to carry all kinds of things with his men, including gold coins, jewelry, magic crystals, and blueprints of magic machines. They were all good, as long as the secret room was filled.
General Tu didn't know what happened in the castle. At this time, he was calmly observing the battlefield not far away. The blasphemers in the castle actually struck first. A group of beast-shaped magic machines rushed out of the castle and kept attacking him.
of encirclement.
The heavy shield of the infantry was torn apart like a piece of paper by the beast-shaped magic machine, sandwiching the flesh and blood of the infantry behind the heavy shield. But the next moment another infantryman came up to fill in, using the heavy shield and the corpses of his comrades to pile up a new defensive wall.
.The pace of the beast-shaped magic machine was slowed down, but it was still moving forward.
But General Tu knew that if he took a few more steps, these beast-shaped magic machines would stop. So far, no one has been able to tear open the encirclement he has laid.
The blasphemers know it too. But all they need is time to take a few more steps.
…
When the buds of the new spring broke through the snow, the news that Duke Tu Lain had killed the last blasphemer spread to all corners of the human countries. The nobles rejoiced that these blasphemers who feared them were finally wiped out.
No more advanced magic machines will be used to squeeze their money and threaten their status.
It's just that the people of the Thorn Calendar will never be able to confirm whether the one killed by Duke Tu Lane was the last blasphemer.
The news that shocked them even more was that Duke Tu Lain did not fully abide by one of the alliance treaties - destroying the blasphemer's civilization. He only destroyed most of the blasphemer's civilization from the perspective of respecting the gods, but he preserved it openly.
I got some designs for magic machines.
For example, the airship that the people of Lane Calendar are proud of.
Duke Tu Laine's craftsmen spent several years manufacturing a large number of airships based on the drawings, and towers were built in Duke Tu Laine's territory. The nobles fearfully accused Duke Tu Laine of his crimes.
But he couldn't stop his ambition.
He is an enemy more powerful than the blasphemer, an enemy who can destroy the blasphemer.
In the moment of panic, airships took off one after another, carrying Duke Tu Lane's army and spreading across the human nations.
