A burning crystal cannonball dragging a dazzling light crossed a long parabola in the air, and fell on the translucent city-level protective cover. The chaotic energy burst out when the burning crystal cannonball was activated produced a continuous The constant explosions, amidst the mutual interference and resonance of magical energy, the sturdy city-level protective cover quickly presented a crystal state of countless hexagonal pieces, and was stained with gray and white noise one by one.
When the number of noise points exceeded the critical value, the energy shield of Eagle City finally turned into shards of light without a sound, and this militarized city standing in the central part of the empire and one of the satellite cities of the imperial capital finally opened its doors.
"'Boros' burning crystal cannon has been fired, and it is cooling down!"
"The enemy's protective shield has disintegrated, and the city gate has collapsed!"
"Pay attention to the rapid-fire turrets and the chain lightning crystals on the city wall! The law-breaking squadron, go and interfere with their city defense facilities—Knights of the Broken Sword, attack with the team!"
"The flanks have reached the firing position...the flanks have begun bombarding the enemy's walls!"
The battlefield is filled with gunpowder smoke, the bombardment of burning crystal cannons and the release of strategic spells flood the land with violent and dangerous magic energy. The uncontrolled magic power re-gathers as the battle continues, forming large and small monsters. wandering mana creatures, and then these mana creatures quickly died due to the siphoning amulets on the warriors, and became a link that ignited the flames of war again.
On this scorching and scorching battlefield, the corpses of the war dead can be seen everywhere. Those twisted and festered pieces of flesh continue to emit a pungent burnt smell under the 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 forcefully, and he really threw a thunderbolt in his hands—that was far beyond what ordinary human magicians could display. It can be compared with the "Lightning Arrow" of "Lightning Arrow". It is a real lightning strike, even a lightning strike that is more powerful than lightning in nature. It crossed the entire battlefield and blasted a section of the city wall. The anti-magic rune stone bricks only shone for a moment, and then fell 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 charged together.
From the cracks in the city wall, the broken city gates, and the cracks in the ground, more black monsters spewed out.
Some of those monsters are still wearing the armor of the human period, and some have swallowed the armor into their bodies due to the expansion of their limbs. A considerable part of them were wiped out in the previous explosion of the burning crystal shell and the magic attack of the giant, but there are still quite a few of them. Some of them survived the attack relying on their strong vitality. They roared frantically and made all kinds of crazy profane noises, but they quickly integrated into an orderly formation and rushed towards the guardian giants and the northern coalition forces.
"For mother!" The commander of the guardian giants immediately burst into anger when he saw those blasphemous monsters, and shouted, "For all living beings!!"
Although the crazy monsters are powerful, in the face of the overwhelming power of the Guardian Giants, these Corruptors who have declined countless times have finally retreated steadily—on the frontal battlefield, their numbers began to drop sharply.
Constance swung her long sword with bright lightning flashing on the blade. She chopped a monster that was once a high-ranking black sword knight that rushed in front of her into pieces, and let the black smoke that spewed out after the monster died Splashed with debris on his armor.
She has changed back to her original body, with exactly the same appearance as "Ginny", but with long black hair.
And behind her, there are more than ten female knights who acted together with her. Those female knights wore female armor, and all of them looked exactly like her, except that they all had silver hair—just like Ginny.
They are the clones of Constance, and they are also the carriers of consciousness. They fight and think together with Constance, and they can almost be said to be the extension of the Dragon Soul Princess.
Hearing the roar of the guardian giant, Constance couldn't help looking back at Leah who was walking on the battlefield as if strolling in a courtyard: "Once they get ready to kill, they will shout 'for mother'... this is the world Is it the religious belief of the tree temple? Do you believe in a god with maternal instinct?"
Liya froze for a moment when she heard it, a little embarrassment appeared on her face, and then she 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 giantesses as powerful as them," Constance looked back at the guardian giants who were dismantling the walls of Eagle City's close-in defense guns, and sighed sincerely, " It's really thanks to them."
Liya'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 while: "What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing," Liya quickly shook her head and changed the subject, "This city is about to be captured."
"Yeah, but I don't know how many people survived..." Constance sighed softly, "almost everywhere along the way..."
The last resistance force in Eagle City was finally wiped out.
The monster of flesh and blood, which seemed to be spliced by countless limbs, with tentacles on its back, and a faceless head, was beaten to death by the guardian giant, and it quickly turned into gray-black smoke under Lia's direct gaze. 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 Legion.
Constance walks the post-war streets with Leah and Grand Duke Owen.
It can hardly even be called a street here... It's just a pile of collapsed building ruins, spreading out along the original road.
The rapid outbreak and spread of corrupt power covered the entire central region almost overnight. The Lord of Crazy special relies on the spread of dreams, relying on negative emotions such as fear to grow, and once it appears, it will corrode all substances together. For the population It is a disaster for densely populated areas.
The Knights of the Black Sword are spread all over the empire, especially in the central region. Almost every town has their garrisons. When the Battle of the Alternation of Era began, Berentine and the Knights of the Black Sword were selected as the "carriers of annihilation." At the moment, these knights became countless sources of infection.
They and their retinues polluted all the land in a short period of time, ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Legion were the first to be infected, then ordinary people in the town, and then the town itself.
The Northern Legion is advancing rapidly, and with the support of the guardian giants, they are attacking in an almost unstoppable manner. They have saved a large number of civilians and even imperial soldiers who have not been infected by corruption. In the event of destruction, only a small part can be rescued.
And the closer to the imperial capital, the more thorough the corruption, and the rarer those who can be saved.
Constance looked at the ruins beside the road. The twisted and festered flesh was burning in the ruins, gradually turning into black smoke and dust, and the masonry corrupted by evil forces was gradually weathering and disintegrating. This ancient and glorious city From today onwards, it will become a part of history.
The corpses of some civilians were dragged out of the nearby cellar by northern soldiers. They died in a hideous manner. Although they still roughly maintained their human appearance, their limbs also had obvious mutations.
A silver-haired female clone knight commanded the soldiers carrying the corpses: "Burn them, while they can still die as human beings."
Constance sighed, and turned her eyes to the other direction of the street, but at this moment, a soldier from the north suddenly ran over here: "There are survivors! There are survivors ahead!"
Constance hurried to where the survivors were found.
They hid in a remote church—this church belonged to a local church, and churches like this were not uncommon in the empire. It can be seen everywhere in the city—this church has almost completely collapsed, and the surface part was used as a lair by those frenzied monsters, and was later bulldozed in the battle, but there is a large and strong cellar under the church, a small The first batch of survivors hid inside and survived those hellish days.
There are men, women and children, all of them have in common that they are hungry, frightened and weak, and they have a rancid smell on their bodies after not seeing the sun for a long time.
Constance saw that one of these survivors was actually wearing a soldier's uniform: it was the uniform of an ordinary junior soldier of the Imperial Legion.
"Give them food and water, and send a doctor," Constance looked at the survivors who were cowering and shivering because of their weakness, and said to a cloned Ji knight beside her, deliberately loudly Speak up so that the survivors can be reassured, "Send someone else to watch them eat so they don't starve themselves to death."
After finishing speaking, she exhaled slightly, and whispered to Grand Duke Owen next to her, "An unexpected miracle."
"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be living people—I thought everything in the city must have been corrupted so close to the imperial capital."
After eating and drinking in moderation, the haggard survivors finally felt a little more refreshed.
Constance came to the imperial soldier and bent down: "You are a soldier—you should know more than others."
"It was I who organized everyone to escape into the cellar," the imperial soldier recognized Constance's identity, and was a little panicked, but he was pushed back when he stood up and saluted, "I... thank you, Your Royal Highness, I have already Knowing that you are righteous, those... those black sword knights and my officers have all turned into monsters, are you here to save us?"
"It's not just to save you," Constance shook her head lightly. "How did you survive? The whole city has been completely enveloped by the aura of annihilation. Even if those monsters didn't find you, didn't their aura spread to In the cellar?"
The soldier opened his mouth, but before he could speak, an old woman beside him rushed to speak, "It's God's blessing, Your Royal Highness, it must be Rama, the god of day, and Su, the god of night, who are protecting us. A church is the key to God's salvation of the world...”
The God of Day and the God of Night are obviously the gods originally enshrined in this church, and the old woman who spoke is probably a believer here, but after hearing these words, Constance looked at each other coldly: "God will not save you, God will not do anything - only man will save the world."
Liya thought about it, and decided to lower her head and continue picking her fingers, pretending she didn't hear it.
