The center of the empire, the city of white stones.
This big city located in the valley is tiered and tall, like a giant trapezoid spliced together, with platforms and towers intersecting each other, so it is extremely difficult to break through in one step.
Its city walls and main body are built with local cobblestones and lime mud, which appear bright white in the sun, majestic and majestic.
Nowadays, soldiers stand closely on the walls and platforms of this giant city. They hold muskets, aim downwards and in the air, and fire continuously, sending particle bullets into the enemy's chest.
The sound of continuous artillery fire rang in our ears from time to time, some from the enemy and some from our own side. The continuous firing of those cannons made everyone dare not relax or relax for a moment.
Cannonballs hit the city wall from time to time, causing splashes of rubble and injuring many soldiers.
Below the city is an endless sea of people, but these Western Allied Forces are not standing densely. They spread out to avoid the bullets above their heads. They kept advancing with their shields, passing over the exploded bomb craters, and then approached the city fortress. A blind spot for enemy shooting.
There is a more intense battlefield in the sky.
The knights riding griffons hovered under the halo of the sun. From time to time, they dropped the 'thunder flame arrows' that spread out with lightning and sparks. These golden arrows were very thick, filled with compacted liquid, and the outer shell appeared It is dark gold in color, and the enchantment on it can make it penetrate the isolation shield on the fortress and shoot these thunder flame arrows into the fortress.
Once these thunderbolts hit a hard object, their heads will shatter under the trigger of the firing pin, and violently burning kerosene will flow out. There are also mixed crystal fragments, which will explode at high temperatures and splash kerosene. Turn the surrounding soldiers into living fireballs.
Although such weapons are not easy to make, the Salius family has accumulated a lot of them over hundreds of years. Carried by brave and powerful gryphon knights, they rained down into the fortress castle like fire.
Inside the city, the original wooden houses and buildings turned into a sea of fire under the bombardment of the thunderbolts. There was thick fire and smoke everywhere, making it difficult to breathe.
Even though the palace wizards in the city had tried their best to snipe these gryphon knights in the air, they still had little effect. Most of the magic arrows were directly dodged, and the casting of large spells would be interfered by the opposing mage team.
In order to cope with this overwhelming bombing, the empire had to mobilize the only few dragon knights in the royal family to support it.
The five royal knights riding the golden-scaled dragon fought fiercely with the gryphon knights of the Salius family in the sky.
The dragon's breath like a beam of light swept across the sky, drowning several griffon knights who were approaching, but there were always some griffon knights who escaped the blazing dragon's breath and approached the huge dragon body.
The golden thunder gun was clenched in his hand, the spiral tip of the gun shone, and the spear wrapped in lightning shot out and inserted into the body of the giant dragon in front of him.
These specially-made dragon-slaying weapons have an ability to penetrate dragon scales and skins beyond ordinary weapons. After the thunder gun is inserted into the dragon's body, it immediately bursts out with violent lightning, corroding the surrounding flesh and blood like a curse, paralyzing it. Losing consciousness, as if dead.
If just a thunder gun can't defeat the dragon, these powerful creatures always have toughness that other creatures can't imagine. But when one thunder gun after another penetrates the dragon's wings and pierces the dragon's scales, one of them will Several giant dragons began to feel overwhelmed, their wings flapped slower and slower, the dragon's breath in the air became weaker and weaker, and their movements became slower and slower.
Another group of griffon knights attacked, and finally these giant dragons fell down whiningly and fell to the ground surrounded by electric light.
The huge dragon body hit the high tower of the city wall, breaking it and destroying it, exposing the gray masonry. Then it continued to topple down and rolled into the platform on the city wall, crushing and knocking soldiers away.
It triggered a burst of fleeing and crying.
Seeing all the dragon knights of the empire fall down one by one, the gryphon knights of the Salius family cheered in the air, holding high the victorious thunder spears, their silhouettes blurred and huge in the halo of the sun.
After the sky was lost, the resistance in the city became passive. These griffin knights divided into several groups and attacked and harassed day and night, making the defenders in the city exhausted. More and more imperial garrison soldiers fell in the flames and arrows.
.
Just as the defenders in the fortress were getting desperate, reinforcements finally arrived one evening.
There was only one person in the group, and the figure riding a white horse passed through the horses and obstacles outside the city fort, and rushed forward alone, like a golden meteor flying across the earth, bringing with it a flash of sword light.
When they reached the fortress, the figure on horseback jumped up, stepped on the broken wall, and flew into the air. It was only then that the people below could see his face clearly.
Sequence of War 7·Dancing Blade, Orone.
Hailed by the sages as a genius on par with Bumantha, he once single-handedly slayed the Dragon of Disaster in the Bhaskar family. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he gradually retired from the army, but he did not want to appear again now.
On the battlefield.
After rushing to rescue the critical Langkouling Fortress, Oruone, who received the news of distress, rushed to the critical El Baishi Castle again.
Above the sky, the figures of the gryphon knights were like clouds covering the sky. There were hundreds of them, and each one of them had a white-feathered gryphon no lower than Sequence 4. They were about to suppress the city and make a surprise attack to the rear.
When they reached the hinterland, a golden figure finally broke into their formation.
The golden blade rotated at high speed, blooming like a flower of golden flame. In the blink of an eye, it passed hundreds of meters high in the air, setting off a chaotic and gorgeous trajectory. Countless feathers and blood flew with it, and so did those gryphon knights.
The rain fell and blood spilled into the sky.
Accelerating, constantly accelerating, her body is as fast as lightning, her eyes are filled with the golden magic power, and Ou Ruonee's whole body seems to turn into a golden stream of light, spinning and shuttle in the high air.
Under its blade, the broken light produced by the sword's strike splashed, and the gryphon knights who had originally covered the sky had to temporarily disperse and began to surround the golden flame sword blooming on the battlefield.
Dozens of Sequence 6 gryphon knights stood out from the array. They chased the figure flying in the air, and gradually increased their speed to the extreme, galloping in the strong wind.
The sky finally became clear, and after some ordinary griffin knights dispersed, the remaining elites were no longer as easy to deal with as they had been at first.
They teamed up in pairs, covering each other. When facing the girl wielding the sword in the air, they spiraled, and the two long thunder guns were like drills, tracing a spiral high-speed trajectory in the air.
Under the high-speed and powerful impact, even if Ou Ruonee cuts the griffon knight directly, he will be collided by the strong griffon, scratched by the sharp claws, and bring a piece of flesh and blood.
In the sky, the golden sword blade was still flying and spinning, but the spear wrapped in lightning also kept hitting the blooming golden flame blade, bringing up pieces of sparkling electric flowers and broken light.
again and again
again and again
After killing more than 30 Sequence 6 gryphon knights, Orone's face gradually became red with blood. The gold in her eyes still shone, but her consciousness began to blur.
She knew she was on the verge of reaching her limit due to excessive blood loss.
Two more gryphon knights attacked. The screaming thunder gun quickly grew in size in the field of vision, and the restless electric light also rang in the ears. Ou Ruonei turned the blade in her hand and slashed at the incoming enemy again.
The tip of the spear, the body rotates.
However, he finally ran out of strength, and the sword blade was a moment slower than before.
The staggered spear point pierced her arm, tearing her right arm apart. The bones were broken and only part of the skin and flesh were connected. Then another thunder gun followed.
This thunder gun directly knocked open the weak left arm, the tip of the gun penetrated her heart, and passed out from behind, bringing with it dripping blood and minced flesh.
The overflowing electric light paralyzed Ou Ruonei's body, and she stared blankly at the dazzling sun in the sky, falling down.
However, the attack would not stop because of this. Thunder guns wrapped with lightning shot down from high altitude one after another, piercing and tearing her apart again and again, until finally, the pair of sword blades were scattered on the ground along with broken blood stains.
No more brilliance.
At the end of July of the same year, the Whitestone Castle in the middle of the empire fell. During the battle, the local lord Earl Desaix was killed. The empire's new talented swordsman, Ojone, also died in the tragic killing.
After the fall of the Valley, Duke Griffin's army entered the central provinces in large numbers. At this time, the army fighting in the northern border of the empire began to falter due to the instability of its rear.
