A burning crystal shell dragging a dazzling light crossed a long parabola in the air and landed on the translucent city-level protective shield. The chaotic energy bursting out when the burning crystal shell was activated produced continuous waves on the surface of the shield.
Continuous explosions, amidst the mutual interference and resonance of magical energy, the solid city-level protective shield quickly showed a crystallized state of countless hexagons, and was stained with gray noise one by one.
When the number of noise points exceeded the critical value, the energy shield of Eagle City finally quietly turned into light flakes all over the sky. This militarized city, standing in the central region of the empire and one of the satellite cities of the imperial capital, finally opened its doors.
"The 'Boros' crystal-burning cannon has been fired and has started cooling down!"
"The enemy's protective shield has disintegrated and the city gate has collapsed!"
"Pay attention to the rapid-fire turrets and chain lightning crystals on the city wall! The Spell-Breaking Squadron, go and interfere with their city defense facilities. Broken Sword Knights, follow the team to attack!"
"The flanks have arrived at the fire position...the flanks have begun bombarding the enemy walls!"
The battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, the bombardment of crystal-burning cannons and the release of strategic spells filled the land with violent and dangerous magical energy. The uncontrolled magic regrouped as the battle continued, forming large and small monsters.
wandering mana creatures, and then these mana creatures quickly died due to the absorption talismans on the warriors, and once again became a link in igniting the war.
On this scorching and hot battlefield, corpses of the war dead can be seen everywhere. Those twisted and festering pieces of flesh continue to emit a pungent burnt smell under the scorching flames, and the most numerous corpses are those mutated and ferocious monsters.
"Drink!!" Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a guardian giant raised his hands and threw forward with force, and he really threw a thunderbolt in his hand, which was far beyond what ordinary human magicians could cast.
What the "Lightning Arrow" can compare to is a real thunder and lightning, even a lightning strike that is more powerful than lightning in nature. It cuts across the entire battlefield and blows away a section of the city wall. Hundreds of people on the city wall are
The anti-magic rune stone bricks only shone for a moment before falling apart along with the wall.
More guardian giants began to stride towards the city, and behind them were the Knights of the Broken Sword and the Northern Legion who were charging together.
More black monsters emerged from the cracks in the city wall, the broken city gates, and the cracks in the ground.
Some of those monsters are still wearing the armor from the human period, and some have swallowed the armor into their own bodies due to the expansion of their limbs. A considerable number of them were wiped out in the previous explosion of burning crystal shells and giant magic attacks, but there are still quite a few
Some of them relied on their strong vitality to withstand the attack. They roared wildly and made all kinds of crazy blasphemous noises, but they quickly integrated into an orderly formation and rushed towards the guardian giant and the northern coalition forces.
"For mother!" When the commander among the guardian giants saw those blasphemous monsters, he immediately became furious and shouted angrily, "For all living beings!!"
Although the crazy monsters are powerful, in the face of the overwhelming power of the guardian giant, these corruptors who have declined countless times are finally retreating on the frontal battlefield, and their numbers begin to decrease sharply.
Constance swung her long sword, and bright electric light shone on the blade. She chopped a monster that rushed in front of her, which might have been a high-level black sword knight, into pieces, and let the black smoke erupt after the monster died.
Splattered with debris on his armor.
She has returned to her original body, with the same appearance as "Ginny", but with long black hair.
Behind her were more than a dozen female knights traveling with her. Those female knights wore women's armor, and they all looked exactly like her, except that they all had silver hair, just like Ginny.
They are clones of Constance and are also carriers of consciousness. They fight and think with Constance. They can almost be said to be extensions of the Dragon Soul Princess.
Hearing the roar of the Guardian Titan, Constance couldn't help but look back at Leah, who was walking on the battlefield as if she were strolling: "Once they get excited about killing, they will shout something like 'For Mother'... This is
What is the religious belief of the World Tree Temple? Do you believe in a maternal god?"
After hearing this, Lia was stunned for a moment, with a slight embarrassment on her face, and then shook her head: "It's not a belief, it's a real mother... Their tradition is to respect their mother..."
"Really, then their mothers must be female giants as powerful as themselves," Constance looked back at the guardian giants who were dismantling the city wall with the close-range defense cannons of Eagle City, and sighed sincerely, "
It’s really thanks to them.”
Leah's expression was a little dull, and then she clenched her fists: "Well, their mother will definitely grow up..."
Constance didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Um, no, it's nothing," Leah quickly shook her head and changed the subject, "This city is about to be captured."
"Yes, but I don't know how many people survived..." Constance sighed softly, "almost everything along the way has been corrupted..."
The last resistance force in Eagle City was finally eliminated.
The giant flesh-and-blood beast that seemed to be spliced together by countless limbs, with tentacles growing on its back and a faceless head was beaten to death by the guardian giant, and quickly turned into gray-black smoke under Leah's direct gaze, and with this
With the death of the last monster, the city closest to the imperial capital was finally officially declared to have fallen into the hands of the Northern Army.
Constance walks with Leah and Archduke Owen on the streets after the war.
It can hardly even be called a street anymore...it's just a pile of collapsed building ruins spread out along the original road.
The rapid outbreak and spread of corrupt power enveloped the entire central region almost overnight. The Lord of Madness relied specifically on dreams to spread, and relied on fear and other negative emotions to grow. Once it appeared, it would corrode all substances, which had a great impact on the population.
In dense areas it is a disaster.
The Black Sword Knights themselves are spread all over the empire, especially in the central region. They have their troops stationed in almost every town. When the Battle of the Turn of the Era began, Berendine and the Black Sword Knights were selected as the "carrier of annihilation"
"At this moment, these knights became countless sources of infection.
They and their retinue contaminated the entire land in a short period of time, with ordinary Imperial Legion soldiers being infected first, then ordinary people in the town, and then the town itself.
The Northern Legion advanced rapidly, and with the support of the Guardian Titan, they attacked with an almost unstoppable momentum. They had rescued a large number of civilians and even imperial soldiers who had not yet been infected by corruption, but compared with the damage caused by the explosion of crazy power,
After all, only a small part can be saved if destroyed.
The closer you get to the imperial capital, the more complete the corruption becomes, and the fewer people can be saved.
Constance looked at the ruins on the side of the road. The twisted and festering flesh and blood were burning in the ruins, gradually turning into black smoke and dust. The bricks and stones that had been corrupted by evil forces were also gradually weathering and disintegrating. This ancient and glorious city
From today on, it will become part of history.
The corpses of some civilians were dragged out of nearby cellars by the Northern soldiers. They died in a ferocious state. Although they still roughly maintained their human appearance, their limbs also had obvious mutations.
A silver-haired clone female knight was directing the soldiers who were carrying the corpses: "Burn them while they can still die as humans."
Constance sighed and turned her gaze to the other direction of the street, but at this moment, a Northern soldier suddenly ran over: "There are survivors! Survivors were found ahead!"
Constance quickly rushed to the place where the survivors were found.
They were hiding in a remote church. This church belonged to a local church. Churches like this were not uncommon in the empire. Although the emperor himself did not promote religion, ordinary people had a need for faith, so various churches were established in big cities.
This church, which can be seen everywhere in Central Capital, has almost completely collapsed. The surface part was used as a lair by those crazy monsters, and was later bulldozed during the battle. However, there is a large and solid cellar under the church, and a small group of survivors survived.
They hid inside and survived those hellish days.
They are men, women, old and young. What they have in common is that they are hungry, frightened and weak. They have not seen the sun for a long time, leaving them with a putrid smell.
Constance saw that one of these survivors was wearing a soldier's uniform: it was the clothes of ordinary lower-level soldiers in the Imperial Corps.
"Give them food and water, and send a doctor," Constance looked at the survivors who were cowering and shivering due to weakness. She tilted her head slightly and said to a clone knight beside her. She deliberately spoke loudly.
Speak out so that the survivors can feel at ease, "Send someone to watch them eat to prevent them from stuffing themselves to death."
After finishing speaking, she exhaled slightly and whispered to Archduke Owen beside her: "An unexpected miracle."
"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be any living people. I thought that being so close to the imperial capital, everything in the city must have been corrupted."
After eating and drinking appropriately, the haggard survivors finally felt a little more energetic.
Constance came to the imperial soldier and bent down: "You are a soldier and you should know more than others."
"I organized everyone to escape into the cellar." The imperial soldier recognized Constance's identity and was immediately frightened. However, when he stood up and saluted, he was pushed back by the other party, "I... thank you, Your Royal Highness, I
I already know that you are righteous, those...those Black Sword Knights and my officers have turned into monsters, are you here to save us?"
"Not just to save you," Constance shook her head slightly, "How did you survive? The entire city has been completely enveloped by the aura of annihilation. Even if those monsters did not discover you, didn't their aura spread to
In the cellar?"
The soldier opened his mouth, but before he could speak, an old woman next to him rushed to speak: "It's the blessing of God, Your Highness Princess, it must be Rama, the god of day, and Su, the god of night, protecting us. This
A church is God’s key to saving the world…”
The God of Day and the God of Night were obviously the gods originally enshrined in this church, and the old woman who spoke was probably a believer here, but after hearing these words, Constance gave the other party a cold look:
"God will not save you. God will not do anything. Only man can save this world."
Leah thought for a while and decided to lower her head and continue picking her fingers, pretending she didn't hear anything.
