This place built by the dwarves and used to worship the "God of Steam" is not as spacious and clear as the ordinary Holy Spirit Temple.
Perhaps in order to show their superb skills to the "God of Steam", the dwarves completely regarded this church as a work of art to show off their skills - and eventually built a well-defended bunker. When there is no war, visiting this church
The observer will only think that the layout here is a bit strange, but if you use this place as a defensive stronghold during the battle, then its advantages of being easy to defend but difficult to attack, supported by layers of support, and easy to evacuate will be revealed.
Because the stairs were closed, Galeb and the twenty-four heavily-armed snow elves he led encountered the elite guard group, the unusually large Zerus mother worm, and the more severely mutated Adjusters due to the failure of transformation while clearing resistance along the way.
, although with the support of the Paladin, the number of heavily armored Snow Elves has not yet been reduced, but the dwarf armor of most of the Snow Elves is in tatters, and their steps have begun to stagger. If they encounter a strong enemy again, it may be difficult to survive.
The power of war.
"Ah, Galeb, your return does not surprise me." On the top floor of the cathedral, a "normal" snow elf wearing an armor style very similar to that of a paladin stood there. There was another person standing beside him.
Celebrity old human mages, from their position, can have a commanding view of the mechanical army that is besieging the city on all sides and has even entered the city. Although the city has not been occupied yet, judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time.
"It seems that you are not satisfied with controlling those machines and hiding in the shadows where the sun cannot shine with idiots who do not accept 'adjustment'." Archbishop Wilsho turned his face and looked at the dozens of snow elves, his face expressionless.
He said with an expression: "I should have killed all these deformed 'compatriots' long ago."
"Gah! Hoho -" The scarred and heavily armored snow elves roared like a threat.
"I was just confused by your rhetoric about 'establishing the Snow Elf Kingdom' and 'restoring its former glory'." Galeb raised his arm, and the broken gold stabbing sword on his waist turned around and fell into his hand: "If
Your 'kingdom' and 'glory' are based on using [Blood Thistle] to completely control them - let me give them 'end'!"
"That's good, but where do you get your confidence from? Is it the 'adjustment materials' that are delivered to your door?" Versho tilted his head slightly: "Master Sindelion."
"Heh." The old human mage slammed his staff to the ground. With a dull impact, a small black magic circle appeared around each mutant snow elf, trapping the snow elves firmly in it.
, at the same time, a large amount of black ashes emerged from their bodies and converged towards the "black sun" above their heads.
"Without the blood thistle to suppress the pain, they will probably go crazy before the ceremony is over. If you want to stop me, the only time is now," Versho took off the sword and shield combination behind his back and turned to Galeb: "Let me see your
Have your skills improved, my stupid brother?"
"As you wish--" Galeb's figure appeared as a shadow and rushed straight towards Versho: "-Brother."
Ding-clang!

The battle near the city gate has heated up.
At the beginning, it was just Ella and other adventurers who made a sneak attack through the tunnel, captured the city gate and covered the mechanical army entering the city. The controlled snow elves and other adventurers fought back. Until now, as adventurers are gradually awakened and regained their strength.
, the situation reversed, and it became a battle where the Twilight side tried to retreat towards the cathedral, while the attacking side occupied the advantageous terrain and tried to prevent them from escaping.
Although there was almost no movement after the paladin broke in, no one thought that he would be defeated before seeing the "archbishop". Therefore, blocking the church's call for help so that he would not be attacked from both sides became an attack.
The main task of the city.
"Ella, I think the 'Black Sun' is a bit strange." Jane Russell used two empty quivers and temporarily retreated to replace them. She said to the huntress who was unloading her bow and aiming at the commander's name.
"Where?" Ella took the time to look up. The black core, fireball, and restraints all looked the same as before - no, at this distance, the black core should not be visible at all.
"Has the firepower of the 'sun' weakened?" Lydia, who was blocking Septim's arrows from the side, interjected.
"I sensed a strong magic reaction at the top of the cathedral, and it is related to the 'Black Sun'. It should be related to this, maybe." Since he was asked to avoid casualties as much as possible, the old mage used ice spells, which can be used very quickly.
Good at trapping enemies.
"Ignore it for now," Ella finally decided: "Fight as usual, but everyone should find some bunkers nearby in case that thing in the sky suddenly explodes."
As for the dwarf mechanical army, how could they be afraid of mere high temperatures?
When Ella re-aimed her bow, she found that her original target had been kicked away by a passing Dwarf Centurion, so she shook her head and turned to the next one.
——00:00——
Hakon remade his plan while flying in an arc in the air.
According to the original plan, he disguised himself as a controlled adventurer and hid in the city's underground prison. When Arthur came to rescue them, he burst into revolt, grabbed the ancient scroll that could not be packed in the package due to its huge size, and left, but...
…he didn’t come?
Next, due to lack of manpower, all the adventurers in Hakon's prison were deployed to defend near the city gate. As a result, no matter whether it was a feint attack by the army or a sneak attack into the city, none of them passed through the city gate where he was. The commander here was relieved.
Hakon, who once again found nothing, simply lured a group of soldiers to support the war.
He had just joined the guard on the side of the broken door, but before he could formulate any plan, he was kicked away by a passing giant Centurion - this was a bit of ridiculous luck.
Hakon began to think about whether to transform directly and launch an attack. After all, Arthur was not here, and the rest of the people had nothing to fear.
Tsk - a burning smell came out. When Hakon turned around to look, he found that there were a large number of invisible "threads" extending outward from the "black sun". One of them was connected to him, and he was stubbornly trying to
It sucked the life force, but was burned by the power of the vampire.
Hakon snorted and patted away the wasted thread. However, he noticed that several threads that were originally planning to find other people turned around and rushed toward him, and he couldn't help but become furious.
Dodging those "threads" again, Hakon landed on the ground and took off the "Bow of Ali-E" with his backhand. His figure suddenly expanded while becoming thinner.
So, on a hillside not far outside the Twilight City, a strange cyan giant with a huge body and a long bow appeared. He shouted "Go to hell, you fake sun!", and then he drew his bow and arrow towards it.
The "black sun" shoots away.
Boom——
——00:00——
Outside Zac Tower, Arthur was lying lazily in the form of a red dragon. After he beat Dunevir back to the Soul Cairn, he was immersed in the understanding of the control of the dragon body, so he did not change back to his original form for the time being.
Sophie was happy to see this, and she skillfully lifted one of Arthur's wings and crouched in, leaving only his head and paws exposed to play a cat-and-mouse game with the captured vampire king.
In this regard, Babas expressed that he was under a lot of pressure. The Zak Tower next to him was burned to a pitch black state and was crumbling. There were two giant dragons lying here. One of them was still teasing a "human" who was trying to escape.
When some righteous people saw it, they were afraid they would fight him on the spot.
"Huh——" Since it was almost midnight on the surface, Sophie, who had become a human and had adapted to the human schedule for a while, began to feel sleepy. She had just half yawned when Hearn turned into a group of bats and emerged from under her paws.
Fly away directly.
"Ah..." Sophie was about to rush out to catch the group of bats. The giant dragon Arthur, who had been in a daze, suddenly turned around and held the young dragon in his arms with his wings, while he turned his back to the direction of Twilight City.
.
Before Sophie could express her doubts, a blazing light suddenly lit up and illuminated the entire Black Fall, rushing out from the direction of the Twilight City.
——00:01——
The upper floor of the Eltanford Church was completely wiped out by the explosive energy. After falling to the bottom, Wilsho and Galeb cautiously faced each other while looking outside with their peripheral vision.
Except for some mechanical guards who were lucky enough to avoid a direct attack, the entire dwarven mechanical army stopped running, and those who could not maintain balance in their current posture fell directly.
As for those adventurers, those who are strong enough can still stand, but are obviously blind, while those who are weak or have not yet recovered their strength will fall into a deep coma.
In the silence, the laughter coming from outside the city seemed very abrupt. People on higher ground could see a huge vampire king holding a bow with one hand and pointing the other hand at the black sun.
Direction laughed.
And it is obviously the cause of this incident. The "black sun" floating in the air no longer looks like a black core and a fireball. The flames have completely disappeared. At this moment, it looks like a block of magma that is constantly spewing out.
Spherical obsidian.
Squeak-squeak-click!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, cracks began to appear on the obsidian, and it suddenly exploded in the next moment.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black dragon flew out of it. It looked scarred. The wounds that kept spewing out magma were fixed with black metal plates and rivets. The chin seemed to be completely missing, replaced by the
It has an iron chin made of black metal. Even so, magma is still dripping from its mouth.
"[I am the wings of death, the Destroyer of Destiny, the terminator of all things! Unstoppable and irresistible! I am the Cataclysm!]" The dragon roared condescendingly: "[I am the Beginning
, I am the end! I create all things, and all things will eventually perish because of me! I am Akatosh, and also - Alduin!]"
