There were sounds of burning and collapse, choking smoke, diffuse sparks, and roaring sounds of battle everywhere.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Underneath the hoarse voice were soldiers with magic crystal guns who kept firing. They were exhausted at this moment, and their foreheads, backs, and insides of their clothes were almost all wet with sweat.
As a high-level evolved version of the musket, the magic crystal gun's lethality is terrifying. Its enchanted and strengthened bullets can easily penetrate most armors and bodies. Even Sequence 5s are vulnerable to the concentrated fire of the magic crystal gun.
It is more dangerous than good, but as a price, its production and consumption are also extremely expensive.
With the current shortage of resources and materials in the city, the magic crystal gun without magic crystal replenishment often requires the user to charge its enchantment array and guide it carefully to avoid unstable magic power, which may cause malfunction or explosion.
chamber.
Those who can perform such precise operations are at least junior mages of Magic Sequence 2, and of course, these soldiers were originally mage apprentices in the Frost Alliance.
The Lurna faction, which regards everything as a tool, finally regards the mage himself as part of the tool. This is probably a matter of course.
After a large number of active forces on the front line were eliminated, many domestic mage apprentices who had not yet graduated were mobilized and became new soldiers. Undoubtedly, this was a huge waste, overdrawing the country's talent reserve for the next ten years.
But now, when the entire country may not be able to be saved, such waste is no longer so concerning.

As the battle progressed, the number of airships in the sky decreased significantly, and many of the seriously injured Ankylosaurus gradually withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the rear to recuperate.
Faced with this situation, the focus of the battlefield gradually turned to the ground.
On a certain street in the city, three rows of magic crystal gunners, protected by shield bearers, constantly blocked the charging orc warriors. Some of the crimson-gold bullets shot into the body, and some landed on the surrounding walls, hitting each one.
Exploded pothole.
On the nearby house, a nimble figure ran quickly, leaping up and falling down like lightning. Under the cover of the noisy shooting and shouting around him, in just over ten seconds, he crossed the blockade and went around.
Behind the magic crystal gun array below.
Three tearing crimson sharp claws cut through the air, directly killing several soldiers behind them, and the orc who suddenly stabbed in the back also frightened and panicked the magic crystal gun array.
"No! Don't come over, I'll drive..." A soldier just picked up the magic crystal and pointed it at the soldier with snow-white leopard ears, but his body was torn apart by the flash of red light, and he fell down unwillingly.
There were also cries of terror and sounds of running away.
They were not soldiers with strict training and strong will. When the formation collapsed and the commander died, they fled everywhere like scattered sand and were directly killed by the orc warriors who entered the city.
Seeing the magic crystal gunners escaping, the orc officer commanding from behind also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear such casualties if they continued.
Although they had only received a few months of training, and these orc officers were not yet professional enough, they still remembered what the big military figure said during class.
"As soldiers, you must obey and execute orders unconditionally. They must be brave and courageous enough. But as commanders, you still cannot get carried away by anything. You must always be vigilant. While ensuring the victory of the war, try to put as many people as possible into your mind.
soldiers to bring them back. This is your duty."
As the battle entered the city with complex terrain, the magic crystal guns that required space and distance to fire in array were greatly suppressed. A small number of elite orcs began to use penetration, sneak attacks, and thrusts to disintegrate the guarding troops in the city one after another.
Click——
Just after one of the defenders was attacked by orc warriors descending from the sky, a thick bolt of lightning flashed through, and the two orc assassins who were behind them were electrocuted into powder.
Looking at the direction of the lightning, the soldiers from both sides looked up and searched, and finally saw a standing figure on a tall building not far away.
He was wearing a large brown cloak, with black and green agate on his wide belt. His black hair fell on his shoulders. His two pupils shone with fascinating electric light in the night, and there were sporadic floating electric lights surrounding his body.
.
"Master Badiwen! It's Master Badiwen!" A certain soldier recognized the existence of Magic Sequence 8, who was none other than the well-known archmage from Lurna.
As the Archmage appeared, a series of lightning flashed in the surrounding air, piercing through the orc warriors who were trying to make a surprise attack.
And this was not over yet, and then there was another long sound of rotation in the night sky. They were floating and flying bronze creations. Their shapes were like gyroscopes and star orbiters, with light blue magic lights accompanying them.
Rotate.
Whenever the magic power is fully charged, a beam of light will be shot out, penetrating several orc warriors in the street.
There are hundreds of these bronze alchemical creations, floating and flying one after another, patrolling the city, supporting the battlefields everywhere, and killing the charging orcs.
"Is Master Elson here too?" A mid-level mage stood on a tower somewhere. Looking at this scene, hope began to emerge in his originally desperate heart.
The battle continued, and the orc army that had the upper hand began to suffer setbacks, and masters of Magic Sequence 8 appeared in the city one after another.
They either stand on the top of the tower, like thunder gods and Titans, electrocuting enemies, or they walk in the lanes, taking away lives one by one in silence, or they manipulate numerous alchemical creations to defeat enemy arrays one by one.
These powerful beings are like the storm eyes of magic whirlpools, calling for the wind and rain in the night. But now that Sequence 9 cannot be eliminated, the existence of extraordinary Sequence 8 is almost invincible, reversing the gradually tilting battle situation and tipping the balance.
Press the other side again.

In the dark sky at night, the 'Book of Iris' figure is still facing off against the 'Saw Blood Sword' Ada, but the current state of both parties is not good.
The book in front of Tuge has been broken, with only a dozen torn pages fluttering, forming a barrier. And the magic armor on Ada's body also has many incomplete places. The originally shining patterns are now
It is also light and dark, and seems to be extinguished at any time.
After another round of confrontation, the two finally stopped.
"You Frost Rose are really willing to spend money this time. You actually transferred so many domestic mage apprentices to the front line, and also invested many precious Sequence 8s. You know, some of them are not necessarily suitable for fighting." Pictured
There was a little surprise in Ge's voice.
Although Magic Sequence 8 is very powerful, it is extremely risky to fight on the front lines like this. Compared with other sequences, the style of Magic Sequence is not suitable for direct combat, and they are cultivating, manufacturing, integrating, researching, etc. in the rear
, in fact, it can play a greater role.
"It's not your turn to worry about this, you despicable invader," Ada said.
"Although Miss Ada is very beautiful, I don't agree with what you said." Tuge raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You started this war, and now you are blaming our side. This is very shameless."
"But with the current attack, do you know how many innocent people in the city have been implicated, how many families have been harmed, and how many things have been destroyed?"
"So?" Tuge said slowly.
"Shall we withdraw, forget the sins you have committed, and see the tears and sorrow of our family members?"
"Everything has a price, blood for blood, tooth for tooth."
"Now it's your turn to be beaten and suffer, so you will know the pain. When you bombed Hopeland in the past, when faced with the tens of thousands of people who died, why didn't you stop the army and retreat directly?"
"Everything is your own fault. I only think about the misfortunes the war has brought to you, but don't think about why all this happened."
"But now that you have invaded a lot of land in the Frost Alliance, why don't you just let it go? After all, you are not like us, ignoring the lives and misfortunes of soldiers because of greed." Ada looked at Tuge angrily.
Tuge looked at the woman who was talking to herself in front of him, and his original anger and desire to argue slowly cooled down.
It turns out that they view Cranthia and the Starlight Alliance this way. It's really ridiculous. Because their own feathers are black, they infer that the feathers of all birds in the world are black.
It's really sad. Because I haven't seen true warmth and kindness, I think everyone has ulterior motives and is just like me for profit and greed.
At this time, Tuge suddenly understood why the older generation of mages from the Young Moon Council hated Lurna's faction.
The end of reason is not warmth, but endless coldness and cruelty.
For the sake of numerical values, indicators, and power, they can give up many things and regard everything as a tool or usable object. At the same time, they also take it for granted that people in the world are just like them, chasing power and interests.
.
This is probably the reason why the whole country can unanimously recognize its national formation and plan.
In order to become stronger, in order to be able to fight against the powerful Green Empire, and in order to retain the fire inherited by the Time and Space Witch from the iron heel of the empire, they must unify the Seven Snow Flower Kingdoms and integrate all resources and power.
So they launched a war and imposed this wish on everyone, regardless of other people's thoughts and emotions, all because -
'I am doing this for your own good, and I am right, but your resistance is wrong and ignorant. Now that I have sacrificed so much for this great plan, you don't understand. I am really sad and heartbroken.'
Thinking like this, everything suddenly became clear, just like a key opening a lock. Tuge also slowly understood Hanshuang United's series of actions and behavior patterns.
But it is a pity that after understanding it, he became even more sad, because in such a country, the leaders and people will not accept failure. They will only go to more extreme paths and immerse themselves in their own emotions.
'Why can't you make sacrifices to fulfill my greatness?'
[How disgusting.]
Tuge no longer argued, and at the same time he no longer harbored any hopes of peace talks.
The paper page in front of him began to burn, and the incantation engraved on it shone even brighter. Light blue flames spread like vines in the night sky, and then weaved like a net to cover the opponent in the air on the opposite side.
"It's useless to talk more."
"Let me tell you from the facts, Ada." Tuge's voice was as hot as iron.
"We, the Young Moon Council, are the successors to Her Highness Dorothy, and you are just heretics who have gone astray!"
As his voice fell, the mighty sky fire fell down, shooting like arrows at the opponent wearing magic armor.
——————
At the same time, a colorful rainbow bridge seemed to be erected in the dark night sky, and a bird with colorful wings chirped crisply, waving its soft wings across the night sky.
And in the night sky where its wings swept across, a shallow colorful halo was left, appearing in the sky like a rainbow on a clear day.
Immediately afterwards, shining figures approached rapidly from the Hongqiao, like streams of light, without any resistance.
Under the dark night sky, many figures couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the Hongqiao crossing the sky. Then each shining figure became clearer and clearer in the Hongqiao, and finally fell from the sky.
Those are the top mages from the Southern Islands.
Using colorful pigments as eyeshadow, wearing half-length feather cloaks, and carrying feathers, leaves, shells, flowers, furs, wood carvings and other accessories, these magic masters with different styles have attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the city since they appeared on the scene.
.
Seven-colored flames, gorgeous and splendid, condensed in the air like the scorching sun, and then smashed towards the upright figure below.
Master Badiwen, who was standing on the clock tower in the city, had a serious look on his face. He stretched out his arm and pressed it in the air, and then the clock tower under his feet suddenly started to shake.
Countless pieces of dust and bricks collapsed, revealing a vague and majestic body in the smoke and dust. It was shaped like a giant and as tall as a Titan.
War Machine·Magic Mithril Colossus
As the giant statue, which was taller than the surrounding buildings and houses, slowly stood up, the sound of metal friction and gear rotation on its body roared. The seemingly stiff but majestic giant statue stretched out a giant palm that could stand nearly a hundred people, and volleyed into the air.
Hold it and directly crush the falling colorful sun.
And the colorful flames spread out, and wisps of them were like feathers, flying and rotating in the sky, making it difficult for the giant statue below to attack. Then the colorful feather flames rotated like the wind, running towards the standing giant demon statue, and got into it.
In every crevice and vein.
No matter how tightly the armor is covering its joints, if there is even the slightest gap, these colorful flame feathers will penetrate through all holes, enter it, and then burn.
The majestic giant standing tall in the sky seemed to be painted with streaks of colorful neon lines, exuding bursts of burnt smell in the dark night, and then rising bursts of black smoke.
Stab——
White light suddenly exploded, powerful thunder and lightning traveled around its body, dispersing the strange colorful flame feathers, the majestic giant statue let out a silent cry, the wind cooled down the body through the corridor, and a strange whistling sound spread throughout the city.
At the same time, the colorful feather flames gathered in the sky again, condensing into a small burning sun, in which some kind of bird seemed to be sleeping.
The two magic masters were fighting against each other while driving the Thunder God Colossus and the colorful blazing sun, and the sounds of fighting could be heard from all over the city.
The same magic master, the same magic sequence 8, also inherited from the land of Oz, but the two factions have embarked on different paths.
Now they will argue and fight again, continuing the mutual opposition that has lasted nearly a thousand years.
