Sword of Dawn

For the first time, he knew that the sky could become such a tragic battlefield, and that a huge number of armies could fight and fight so far away from the earth. A three-dimensional conflict dominated this battle, and all the things behind this battle What was revealed made the Typhon nobleman feel his nerves trembling slightly.

The Cecilians have mass-produced flying machines, and Typhon has mass-produced superhumans and miraculous magic. These are two independent development routes. When they accidentally meet, the entire history of mankind must leave enough chapters for it. Make a note.

Claremont is surrounded by powerful wind, thunder, lightning and the power of frost and flames, and the turbulent elemental vortex covers him like huge wings. This is a powerful feeling he has never had under normal circumstances. Under the supply of magic power, he can't remember how many times he has released large-scale spells that are enough to drain him dry - the number of enemies has decreased, and the number of friendly forces has also continued to decrease, and this kind of loss is valuable after all, Sei There has been a gap in the air power of the Silers, and now, several teams performing storm missions can cast powerful spells on the two rows of mobile fortresses.

As it turns out, those mighty steel monsters aren't all that invulnerable either.

"...Air power may become the key to the battle situation, and the overall combat on the ground and in the sky may be a certain trend..."

Claremont opened his hands and faced the Cecil's anti-aircraft barrage. The powerful shield withstood several times of fatal injuries. He locked on to a flying machine and began to try to interfere with the opponent's energy cycle. At the same time, he also inspired a powerful communication spell, and reported what he saw in the communication spell as if talking to himself-not only did this blizzard not affect the effect of the communication spell, but it made the communication distance of every battle mage are greatly extended.

"...flying units can't survive for too long in an air battle, even if they have three lives...

"Griffin knights and mid-level battle mages are consumables here... Many people were shot down by anti-aircraft fire from the ground...

"...the glare from the ground made a big difference...the light not only exposes us, but also disrupts vision and spatial perception...it's as effective as a weapon..."

The anti-gravity ring of the flying machine in the distance suddenly burst into a series of flashes, and the whole body shook unsteadily. Claremont narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that he had successfully interfered with the power mechanism of this thing.

According to the experience just observed, then the machine will divert most of its energy to the poorly functioning anti-gravity device to maintain flight, which will make it a living target floating in the air.

Claremont raised his hands high, and a powerful electric arc formed in his hands, but before he was about to unleash this deadly attack, a low humming sound suddenly approached from the side at a very high speed, a huge sense of crisis It made him instantly change the direction of the arc release, and while swinging it to the side, he violently agitated the invisible magic power, and quickly left the original place.

A dense arcane barrage swept across the place where he had just stood in the next second.

Claremont broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head to look in the direction of the attack, and suddenly saw an aircraft with a pure black painting and a wider dragon wing device appearing in his field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed more such aircraft emerging from the clouds in the distance - one after another, menacing!

Air support from the Cecils? !

"The enemy's support has arrived!" He immediately warned loudly in the communication technique, "Pay attention to those black guys, their attacks are more ferocious!

"Quickly move, the strike team will deal with the train of the Cecils - the Griffon Knights will provide cover at all costs!"

Just a moment ago, the dragoon formation had fallen into a huge disadvantage. The Typhons, whose combat effectiveness had been strengthened unprecedentedly, and the surrounding harsh snowstorm environment caused fighter planes to be shot down one after another. The armored train on the ground seemed precarious. At this moment, the reinforcements The sudden appearance of the dragon finally stopped the situation from slipping in a worse direction - the newly appeared black aircraft quickly joined the battle situation and began to fight desperately with those Typhon people who had fallen into madness.

In the roaring barrage and rays, Claremont set up a powerful shield. While continuously changing his flight trajectory to distance himself from those black aircraft, he kept turning his head and releasing a large-scale arc to weaken the opponent. Several times, he felt that he had brushed shoulders with the god of death—although theoretically he already had three chances to fight the god of death, but if he had no other choice, he didn't want to waste any life here .

Because as long as you die once, the price of the "miracle" must be paid.

A black fighter plane seems to have identified him as the commander of this army, and it has been biting hard. Clement doesn't know how long he has been entangled with the other party. Finally, under continuous consumption and pursuit, he caught him. a chance.

He rushed into the clouds, and under the cover of the clouds, he quickly created a large number of floating balls, and then pierced the clouds from another direction without hesitation, and what happened after that was as he expected: the black aircraft He followed without hesitation, and in the next second, the continuous flashes of explosions tore apart the iron-gray cloud.

Claremont stood still in the air, staring at the direction of the explosion. In the smoke and flames, he saw the black shadow rushing out crookedly—it was already in dilapidated condition, and it seemed that it didn't even have the flying posture. Can barely sustain.

"Goodbye." He said softly, then raised his hand and waved it down without hesitation, a powerful electric arc suddenly crossed a long distance, tearing the aircraft into pieces.

Then Claremont turned around without hesitation, ready to go to support his comrades who were already struggling.

But a roar from behind interrupted the action of this high-ranking battle mage: the roar shocked the sky, with a certain power that made living beings feel terrified naturally, when it sounded, Claremont even felt his own The heart seemed to be tightly held by an invisible hand.

He didn't know what kind of mood he turned his head - when his eyes moved slowly, looking in the direction of the sound, the surrounding snowstorm seemed to freeze for a while, and the next moment, he saw there Deep in the still undissipated smoke and flames, two ferocious figures that were almost terrifying tore through the clouds, and two cold and hostile eyes fell on him.

The Cecilians...had dragons.

Chapter 1010 The Fall

This is the first time that Claremont has seen a dragon in his life—in fact, he believes that not many people in the whole world have the opportunity to see a real dragon in real life.

Now he saw it, and two at a time.

When the Cecilian's flying machine is destroyed, there is a certain chance that two enraged dragons will rush out of the exploded wreckage - the falling wreckage has become something more deadly, which terrible god opened the evil joke?

In this brief moment, many strange thoughts flashed through Claremont's mind. Even he himself was astonished that he was so leisurely and distracted in this situation, but his physical reaction was not the slightest bit. There was no delay—after realizing that he had become the target of the two furious dragons, his first reaction was to induce the arcane power to create a large curved and chaotic mirror in the surrounding air, and then at the fastest speed in the Jump and transfer between mirrors in order to distance yourself from the opponent and look for opportunities to counterattack.

The spell effect of "Swallow Mirror Maze" bought him precious time, and it turned out that it was wise to keep the distance at the first time: the next moment he just left the place, he heard a deafening roar From behind, one of the two giant dragons opened its mouth wide, and a flame that seemed to be able to burn the sky spewed out from his mouth. Although the range of the flames was short, the range far exceeded the barrage of those flying machines. If he hadn't chosen to back off at the first moment but to attack blindly, he would have definitely lost his first life in the scorching dragon flames.

"Attention the whole army!" Claremont moved quickly under the cover of the clouds, while using missiles and electric arcs to continuously harass and weaken the two furious dragons, and at the same time loudly warned in the communication technique, "There are dragons! The Cecilians Led the dragon to the battlefield! Watch out for those black machines, dragons hide in those flying machines!"

This abrupt warning obviously threw some people into confusion. The content of the warning was so unbelievable that many people didn't understand what their commander was shouting. But soon, as more black flying machines were shot down , The figures of the third and fourth giant dragons appeared on the battlefield, and everyone realized that this sudden change was definitely not a hallucination—the giant dragon really appeared on the battlefield!

The battlefield became even more chaotic due to the appearance of the giant dragon, even to a point of madness, but the Typhons' offensive did not collapse, or even shaken in the slightest—those ferocious sky masters failed to scare off the Griffon Knight and Battle mages, the former are devout disciples of the God of War. The spiritual interference from the gods has already alienated the knights' bodies and minds into inhuman things. These griffin knights roared frantically, and all the blood and magic power in their bodies were blown in the blizzard The blazing flames, the pressure from the enemy stimulated these fanatical believers, and the power bestowed by the gods further activated and exploded on them, making some of them even incarnate into flaming torches of faith, leading them to move forward indomitably, and even made the giant dragon The bravery who trembled for it launched a charge, and the latter...

As early as when they took off, the battle mages knew that this was an air strike mission that must be carried out to the end. All of them had already applied the effects of mechanized mind and death oath to themselves, even in the face of the dragon that suddenly appeared on the battlefield , and none of the battle mages withdrew from the battle.

As the commander of this army, Claremont must maintain his normal state of mind, so he did not apply the effect of mechanical mind to himself, but even so, his heart is still as steel at the moment.

He didn't come here to prove anything, nor for the so-called glory and belief. He came to this battlefield only as a Typhon nobleman, and this reason did not allow him to choose to back down under any circumstances.

In a gust of wind, he hid in the nearby clouds, and the miracle of the god of war protected him, allowing him to avoid the sharp eyes of the dragon at a very dangerous distance. An extremely large-scale electric arc was struck, and it struck the giant dragon with black scales. Under the flashing electric light and the extremely close distance, he finally saw the details of the huge creature clearly.

It was [-]% a dragon, but it was not the same as the dragon he saw in some ancient books—he saw that the black dragon was covered with something like steel armor, but it was obviously not pure Armor, between the thick armor, you can see obvious mechanical devices and rune connections, and there are more complex extension structures on the edges of the dragon's wings, and light blue runes shine on those extension structures , let Claremont think of the runes on those flying machines of the Cecils for the first time...

This complicated device is some kind of specialized "equipment", and it is obviously mass-produced. These dragons are not "reinforcements" pulled to the battlefield by some opportunistic means, they are regular soldiers in full armor, and they are Sisi Part of Seoul's military power.

This discovery made Claremont sound alarm bells.

A huge electric arc pierced the sky and hit the back of the black dragon. The shield on the latter's body flashed, as if a part of the electric arc had penetrated the protection. This made the huge creature roar angrily, but the deafening roar made Ke Raymond was overjoyed while trembling—was the other party injured?

He has read descriptions about giant dragons in various classics. Although many of them have fabricated factors, no matter which book has one thing in common, it repeatedly emphasizes the power of dragons—it is said that they have invulnerable weapons. Scales and natural magic resistance have enormous and infinite power and surging vitality. The powerhouse below the legendary level can hardly cause fatal damage to an adult dragon, and the magic attack below the high level is even difficult to penetrate the dragon's natural magic defense. ...

But an electric arc released by his quick spell just now wounded the dragon?The power of these dragons seems to be weaker than that recorded in the book...

Claremont didn't know whether it was a problem with the records in the book or with the dragons in front of him, but it was obviously exciting for the latter to be injured by conventional magic. He immediately shouted at the whole army in the communication technique. Announcement: "Don't be intimidated by these dragons! They can be damaged by regular attacks! The advantage of numbers is effective against them..."

A terrifying coercion suddenly came from the side, Claremont's remaining words came to an abrupt end, he only had time to glance to the side, and saw a red dragon rushing out of a cloud of mist, the dragon's jaw The installed steel "crashing horn" glowed coldly in the surrounding explosion flash, and Claremont saw the terrifying creature open its mouth, and a fiery flame temporarily ended all his thoughts...

In the surrounding skies, however, a more intense battle has just begun.

……

The dragon wing mercenaries entered the arena, and the balance of the battle began to return to normal. However, for the first time, the victory did not easily tilt towards Cecil.

It's hard to describe those Typhon people as brave and fearless-this terrible blizzard is completely on the enemy's side.

A soldier stood up from the communication device and reported to Maryland in a loud voice: "General! The terminal arsenal compartment was seriously damaged! All anti-aircraft gun groups have been blown up, and the connection between the main gun and the power ridge was also damaged in the previous round. Broken in an air raid!"

"...Let the soldiers withdraw from the terminal arsenal and give up that section of the carriage," Maryland immediately ordered after a moment of thought, "How far are we from Height 21?"

"General, news just came from Highland 21 that their side has also been attacked by a snowstorm. It may be difficult for anti-aircraft artillery to provide us with support at such a long distance."

"I see," Maryland nodded, "Maintain the current speed and continue to move towards the Shadow Swamp—contact the Longwind Fortress and let the War Citizen enter Line [-] for operation."

"Yes, General!"

Maryland nodded, frowning and looking towards the sky above. In the light and shadow intertwined by anti-aircraft guns and searchlights, he saw Typhon's Griffon Knights and Battle Mages fighting with flying machines and giant dragons. Each of those battle mages is surrounded by powerful magic radiance, and at the same time they are elusive in the clouds. Some of them have broken through the firepower network intertwined by the air defense lines, and have reached the height where they can directly attack the armored train. Their power is comparable to that of small and medium-sized The fireballs and arcane missiles of the magic cannon kept falling from the sky, exploding on the car bodies of the worldly python and the iron scepter or beside the tracks.

This has already exceeded the limit of magic power of any human being. Even a legendary powerhouse should show weakness due to exhaustion in this kind of battle, right?

The only explanation is that the magic power of these Typhons is inexhaustible, and the source of their power... is very likely to be this huge snowstorm.

At this moment, a violent shaking suddenly spread throughout the entire car body. The shaking was mixed with the harsh noise of emergency braking of all power units of the train. The speed of the armored train began to drop rapidly, and many people in the car almost fell to the ground , Maryland's thinking was interrupted, he raised his head to look at the technical soldier next to the main console, and asked loudly, "What happened!?"

"General!" The soldier also replied loudly, "The railway ahead has been blown up!"

It finally happened.

Maryland's face darkened for a moment, and at the same time, she noticed that the iron scepter armored train outside the carriage had passed the World Serpent and was continuing to move forward—the armored train had an engineering crew, and they were probably trying to resist Typhon People's bombing rushed to repair the broken railway ahead.

If you just want to get out of the predicament temporarily, this kind of emergency repair plan is feasible, but under the current circumstances, the chance of success is too low.

"Order the iron scepter to come back," Maryland ordered immediately after thinking for a while, "Where is the section of road that was blown up in front?"

"Near junction 22, General."

"Okay, get close to Interchange 22 and stop there, let the iron scepter stand by there," Maryland said quickly, "The mechanical group pours all the cooling water into the heat dissipation device of the rainbow generator, and the power ridge starts from now on. Start overloading and dry burning - after the two cars meet, open all the cooling grilles."

"Yes, General!" The adjutant at the side immediately accepted the order, but then couldn't help asking, "Are you..."

"Don't the Typhon people want to keep our car?" Maryland said in a deep voice, "Give it to them, let's change the car."

The adjutant was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "But General, this car is the most powerful on the Eastern Front..."

"This car is just a weapon," Maryland said word by word, looking at her adjutant. "Its replica will come out of the factory within two months."

"...Yes, General!"

……

Claremont awoke to a maddening noise and babbling, and he found himself falling from the sky, while the red dragon that had just killed him was flying past directly above.

He immediately understood: he had "enjoyed" the miracle brought by the God of War.

Now, he has no turning back at all.

In the corner of his eye, several griffin riders were falling from the sky.

A flying machine was blown into a huge fireball, and it fell to the southwest as it disintegrated.

More than a dozen battle mages are besieging a giant blue dragon. The dragon is covered with scars. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it is killed by mortals. However, some of those mages are constantly being fatally injured, and some will be revived in the next instant. However, the extra life brought by the miracle has been exhausted, and they fell from the sky in a hideous and distorted posture.

The anti-aircraft fire from the ground was still tearing apart the sky, illuminating the iron-gray clouds, creating bright fireworks one after another in this blizzard.

All of this is like a crazy dream.

Claremont allowed himself to continue falling, his eyes turned to the ground, and focused on the larger steel train—he knew that the railway ahead had been blown up, the most powerful, The mobile fortress that caused the most damage to the defense line of Winterhold is destined to remain in this place today.

The appearance of the dragon was a huge accident. This accident directly led to a deviation in the direction of the battle that Claremont and Palin Winterhold previously deduced. Clement knew that the air strike force he led was very likely to be in The whole army was wiped out in this big air battle, but that's why he had to destroy that train.

Otherwise, the sacrifice of him and his comrades today will be meaningless.

The two armored trains gradually approached in the valley, and suddenly, a large cloud of water vapor smog filled Claremont's sight.

what happened?

Claremont was stunned for a moment, and in this daze, he suddenly felt that his body was torn apart by a huge force——a shell exploded very close to him, and the deadly shock wave instantly disappeared. Let his flesh and blood be torn apart.

The second miracle was wasted in such a muddled way.

When Claremont woke up again from the frantic babbling and even harsher noises, he found that he had fallen near the larger mobile fortress, and a strange feeling filled his body and mind. Something was added, and something was added in my mind. A majestic voice kept telling me truths that are difficult for human beings to understand, and the body I was familiar with in the past... It seemed that part of it no longer belonged to me.

He understood that this was his third life, and in this life, God of War...had begun to demand the price of miracles.

Even if he is not a believer of God of War, as long as he is in this blizzard and bears the power bestowed by God, he must act according to the rules of miracles.

The cloud formed by water vapor below was still thick and it seemed that it would not dissipate for a long time, but Claremont knew that he was falling in the right direction.There was no more hesitation in his heart. Under conscious control, endless magic power began to gather in his body. These powerful forces even made his body burn. In the final stage of the fall, he used the remaining With the help of the power, he adjusted his direction, so that he faced southeast, facing the direction of Aldernan.

"Rosetta... I'm right here watching..."

Chapter 1011 Forward Gear

Endless magical power surged beside him, transformed into bright light and heat after being transformed by the spell model, every inch of blood vessel and nerve in the body became some kind of hot source during this process, as if there was hot magma flowing Visceral organs and flesh and blood surged, and Claremont felt as if he had been burned. Everything in his sight was distorted and deformed in the high heat, turning into some kind of white-hot weird illusion, which reminded him of The magic conduits I observed in the magic laboratory before they burned... If those conduits were alive, would they have seen the same scene at the last moment before they burned?

Within a tenth of a second after this, Claremont seemed to hear a "crispy sound" like a rupture from the depths of his soul, and he felt that all his perceptions suddenly rose, as if the whole world was under his overlooking, He clearly saw the running track of every trace of magic power around him, saw the powerful energy surging inside the row of war machines, and even saw the fierce battle scene in the sky behind him—under the power of miracles, he broke through to legend.

Then, a huge explosion engulfed everything.

Claremont's last consciousness turned into an echo in the communication spell, piercing through the violent snowstorm, crossing the long battlefield, and projecting directly to the distant Winterhold——

"Watch out! Palin! They have dragons!!"

……

The explosion was so violent that the blizzard was torn open a gap visible to the naked eye, and the steam clouds gushing out from the cooling grids of the armored train sections were also instantly blown away by the powerful shock wave, and they were about to board the Iron Scepter. Maryland was taken aback by this earth-shattering movement. He followed the direction of the explosion, only to see a small mushroom cloud rising from the tail of the World Python.

After the tactical section, half of the carriages of the armored train were involved in the big explosion, and then the flowing magic energy poured into the power ridge, detonating the remaining carriages one by one.

The self-destruct devices installed in the Iron Throne obviously cannot achieve such an effect.

"Is that some kind of weapon from the Typhon?" The adjutant on the side said in amazement, "Some kind of super bomb? Why did they just take it out now?"

"...it was a self-explosion, sir, I saw it," one of the staff officers swallowed, "I saw a mage falling from the sky—probably a mage, behind him were all growing tentacles and tumors..."

Maryland didn't speak, just stared at the direction where the mushroom cloud rose. After a few seconds, he nodded slightly towards that direction, then turned and boarded the armored train behind him.

Fireballs and thunder were intertwined in the blizzard, and in the cloudy sky, Typhon and Cecil's air forces were still fighting desperately, while on the ground below, the huge war machine of the World Python was finally being blown up The railway came to a halt, while another armored train roared through the snow, smoke and wreckage, and continued to fly in the direction of the Shadow Swamp.

The damage control team has extinguished the fire inside the armored train, and the dense anti-aircraft artillery fire carried by the iron scepter roared again. The fire net intertwined with magic crystal shells and high-energy beams harvested the remaining attackers in the sky. Traveling through the clouds further compressed the activity space of the Battle Mage and the Griffin Knight, and all of this seemed to be a picture scroll that messed up time, space and age——

It's time for this scroll to end.

The death of the commander did not completely collapse the air force of the Typhons. The Griffin Knights with constant morale were still carrying out the set tasks with [-]% fighting spirit, and the remaining battle mages were also squeezing out the last trace of human potential to further expand the results of the battle. , They have noticed that one of the two armored trains has been destroyed, and it is the famous main tank, and the other one is also scarred and billowing smoke. In a sense, they have The pre-determined result was achieved - but it also paid a price beyond expectations.

They were powerless to destroy another one, and they were powerless to evacuate from this terrible battlefield.

The dragoon fighter planes that had been forced to evacuate the airspace due to heavy losses returned to the battle area again. Under the cover of the giant dragon, these flying machines that would not get tired began to strangle those Griffon Knights and The remains of battle mages, humans and griffins rained down from the sky, and were quickly buried and swallowed by the blizzard.

A battle mage stopped in the clouds. He looked up and looked around while panting violently, and suddenly found that the battlefield in the sky had become empty.

The former comrades who were densely shuttling in the clouds have only left three or five combat echelons, and almost all of them are temporary reorganized teams. The most fanatical Griffin Knights were also on the verge of extinction at the earliest, and now there are only a few left. The completely distorted and mutated knights were charging at the giant dragons flying in the clouds, the roars and explosions from all directions gradually weakened, and the anti-aircraft artillery fire from the surface had ceased at some point.

A deep and majestic roar suddenly came from nearby. The roar contained a terrifying power. The battle mage used the last bit of physical strength to put on a defensive posture. The next second, he saw the thick cloud beside him A huge monster rushed out of the middle—it was a black giant dragon covered with full body armor, his huge wings and sharp claws were armed with steel, and a formidable ram was installed on his jaw, although the dragon's body was two The side-mounted missile launcher had been destroyed in battle, but the battle mage knew that at this distance, claws and breath alone could kill the horrible creature.
