Chapter 1010 Fall
This is the first time Cramont has seen a dragon in his life - in fact, he believes that not many people in the world have the opportunity to see a living dragon in real life.
Now he saw it, and he saw two at a time.
When the Cecilians' flying machine was destroyed, there was a certain chance that the two angered dragons would rush out of the blasted wreckage - the fallen wreck became something even more deadly. Which terrible god was playing a bad joke?
In this short moment, countless strange thoughts flashed through Claymont's mind. Even he was shocked that he was still leisurely and distracted to this extent in this situation, but his physical reaction was not delayed at all. After realizing that he had become the target of the two angry dragons, his first reaction was to motivate the arcane power to create a large curved and chaotic mirror in the surrounding air, and then jumped and moved between the mirrors at the fastest speed, in order to distance himself from the other party and find an opportunity to counterattack.
The magic effect of the "Svaro Mirror Maze" has bought him precious time. It turns out that it is wise to open the distance at the first time: the next moment he left the place, he heard a deafening roar coming from behind. One of the two giant dragons opened his mouth wide, and a flame that seemed to ablate the sky gushed out from his mouth. Although the range of the flames swept through was short, the range was far greater than the barrage of those flying machines. If he had not chosen to retreat at the first time but blindly fought, he would have definitely lost his first life in the hot dragon flame.
"All army is on the lookout!" Claymont used the cover of clouds to quickly move, using missiles and arcs to continuously harass the two angry dragons, and at the same time he shouted a warning during the messaging technique, "There are dragons! The Cecils led the dragon to the battlefield! Be careful of those black machines, the dragons are hidden in those flying machines!"
This abrupt warning obviously caused some people to fall into chaos. The warning content was too incredible, so many people did not realize what their commander was shouting. But soon, as more black flying machines were shot down, the figure of the third and fourth dragons appeared on the battlefield, and everyone realized that the sudden change was definitely not a vision and auditory hallucination - the dragon really appeared on the battlefield!
The battlefield became even more chaotic due to the appearance of the dragon, and even to a point of madness. However, the attack of the Tifeng people did not collapse because of this, and it was not even shaken at all. The hideous sky masters failed to scare away the griffin knights and combat mages. The former was a devout believer of the God of War. The spiritual interference from the gods had long transformed the knights' body and mind into inhuman things. These griffin knights roared frantically, and the blood and magic of their bodies were burning in the blizzard. The pressure of the enemy stimulated these fanatical believers. The power given by God further activated and exploded, causing some of them to even turn into burning faith torches, and the latter...
As early as when they took off, the combat mages knew that this was an air raid mission that must be carried out to the end. All of them had already imposed the effect of mechanized mind and death oath contract on themselves. Even when facing the dragons suddenly appeared on the battlefield, no combat mage left the battle.
As the commander of this army, Claymont had to maintain his normal mind, so he did not exert the effect of a mechanized mind on himself, but even so, his heart was still as steel as now.
He came here not to prove anything, nor to so-called glory and faith. He came to this battlefield only as a nobleman of Tifeng, and this reason did not allow him to choose to retreat under any circumstances.
In a strong wind, he hid in the nearby clouds. The miracle of the God of War protected him, allowing him to escape the sharp eyes of the dragon at a very dangerous distance. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pass by, he created an extremely large electric arc from the side and slashed it on the dragon with black scales. At the shining light and extremely close distance, he finally saw the details of the huge creature.
It was 100% dragon, but it was different from the dragon he saw in some ancient classics - he saw that the black dragon was covered with something like steel armor, but it was obviously not a simple armor. Between the thick armor pieces, obvious mechanical devices and rune connections could be seen. There was a more complex extension structure on the edges of the dragon's wings. The light blue runes shone on those extension structures, making Claymont think of the runes on the flying machines of the Cecils...
This complex device is a specialized "equipment" and is obviously mass-produced. These dragons do not rely on some opportunistic methods to pull the "reinforcements" on the battlefield. They are fully armed regular soldiers and are part of Cecil's military power.
This discovery sounded the alarm in Claymont's heart.
A huge electric arc cut through the sky and hit the black dragon's back. The shield light flashed on the latter's body, as if part of the electric arc had penetrated the protection, which made the huge creature roar in anger. However, the deafening roar made Claymont overjoyed while trembling - was the other party injured?
He has read the description of the dragon in various classics. Although many of them have fabricated factors, no matter which book has a common point, it is that it repeatedly emphasizes the power of the dragon. It is said that they have invulnerable scales and natural magic resistance, and have huge and infinite power and surging vitality. Strong people below the legend can hardly cause any fatal damage to an adult dragon. Spell attacks below the higher level are even difficult to penetrate the dragon clan's natural magic defense...
But an arc he released from his rapid casting just now actually injured the dragon? The power of these dragons seemed to be weaker than what was recorded in the book...
Claymont didn't know whether there was something wrong with the records in the book or the dragons in front of him were wrong, but it was obviously an exciting thing for the latter to be injured by conventional magic. He immediately informed the entire army in the messaging technique: "Don't be scared by these giant dragons! They can be hurt by conventional attacks! The advantage of the number of people is effective for them..."
A terrible pressure suddenly swept from the side, and Claymont's remaining words came to an abrupt end. He had only had time to glance around and saw a red dragon rushing out of a cloud of mist. The steel "corner" installed in the dragon's jaw shone coldly in the explosion flash around. Claymont saw the terrible creature open his mouth, and a hot flame temporarily ended all his thoughts...
However, in the surrounding sky, the more intense battle has just begun.
...
The Dragon Wing Mercenaries entered the field, and the balance of the battle began to return to the right, but the victory did not tilt easily towards Cecil for the first time.
It is hard to describe those who are fearless and fearless - this terrible blizzard is completely standing on the side of the enemy.
A soldier stood up from the communication device and reported to Maryland loudly: "General! The carriage of the end arsenal was seriously damaged! All air defense gun groups have been blown up, and the connection between the main gun and the power ridge was also broken in a round of air strikes just now!"
"... Let the soldiers withdraw from the end arsenal and give up that carriage directly," Maryland thought for a moment and immediately ordered, "How far are we from Height 21?"
"General, the news just came from the 21 Highland that they were also hit by a blizzard. It is probably difficult for anti-aircraft artillery to provide support to us at such a long distance."
"I get it," Maryland nodded, "maintain the current speed and continue to move towards the Shadow Swamp - contact the Long Wind Fortress and let the War Citizen enter Line 3."
"Yes, General!"
Maryland nodded, frowned and looked at the sky above. In the light and shadows of the anti-aircraft cannons and searchlights, he saw the griffin knights and combat mages of the Tifeng people fighting with flying machines and dragons. Each of the combat mages was surrounded by powerful magical light, and at the same time, they were elusive in the clouds. Some of them had broken through the firepower nets of intertwined air defense lines, and reached the height that could directly attack armored trains. The fireballs and arcane missiles of small and medium-sized magic cannons kept falling from the air and exploded on the bodies of the mortal pythons and iron scepters or on the tracks.
This has exceeded the limit of any human magic. Even legendary powerhouses should show signs of decline due to fatigue in such battles, right?
The only explanation is that the magic of these Tiffany people is endless, and their source of power...is most likely this huge blizzard.
At this moment, a violent shaking suddenly spread throughout the vehicle body. The shaking was mixed with the harsh noise of emergency braking of all the 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 thoughts were interrupted. He raised his head and looked at the technical soldier next to the main console and asked loudly: "What happened!?"
"General!" the soldier also replied loudly, "The railway ahead was blown up!"
This matter finally happened.
Maryland's face turned gloomy, and at the same time noticed that the Iron Scepter Armored Train outside the car had crossed the World Python and was continuing to drive forward - the armored train was equipped with a construction crew, and they probably wanted to repair the broken railway in front of the Tifeng people's bombing.
If you just want to get out of the predicament by temporarily passing, this 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 thought for a moment and immediately ordered, "Where is the section of the road that was blown up in front?"
"Near the intersection of junction No. 22, General."
"Okay, get close to the junction No. 22 and stop, let the iron scepter stand on call there," Maryland said quickly. "The mechanical group pours all the cooling water into the radiant light generator's heat sink device. The power ridge starts to overload and dry burn from now on - after the two vehicles meet, open all the heat sink grids."
"Yes, General!" The adjutant on the side immediately accepted the order, but then he couldn't help asking, "You are..."
"Don't the Tifeng people want to keep our car?" Maryland said in a deep voice, "I'll change it for them."
The adjutant was startled and said subconsciously: "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 his adjutant, "a replica of it will be driven from the factory within two months."
“…Yes, General!”
...
Claymont woke up in a mad noise and murmur. He found himself falling from the sky, and the red dragon that had just killed him was swiftly passing directly above.
He immediately understood: he had "enjoyed" the miracle brought by the God of War.
Now, he has no way back.
Out of the corner of his eyes, several griffin knights were falling from the sky.
A flying machine was blown into a huge fireball, disintegrating and sliding down to the southwest.
More than a dozen combat mages are besieging a blue dragon. The dragon is covered with scars. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it is killed by mortals. Some of those mages are constantly suffering fatal injuries. Some will be resurrected in the next moment, while others have exhausted the extra life brought by the miracle and fell from the sky in a hideous and distorted posture.
The air defense fire from the ground is still tearing the sky down, illuminating the iron-gray clouds, creating balls of bright fireworks in this blizzard.
All of this is like a crazy dream.
Claymont 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 mobile fortress with the greatest power and caused the greatest damage to the Winter Fort defense line was destined to stay in this place today.
The appearance of the dragon was a huge accident. This accident directly led to a deviation in the battle situation that Claymont and Palin Winterburg had previously deduced. Claymont knew that the air raid unit he led would be wiped out today in this big air battle, but it was precisely because of this that he had to destroy the train.
Otherwise, his and his comrades' sacrifice today would be meaningless.
The two armored trains gradually approached the valley, and suddenly, a large area of smoke formed by water vapor filled Claymont's sight.
what happened?
Claymont was stunned for a moment, and in this moment, he suddenly felt his body being torn apart by a huge force - a shell exploded very close to him, and the fatal shock wave instantly made his flesh and blood body split.
The second miracle was lost in a confused manner.
When Claymont woke up again from the crazy murmur and even more harsh noise, he found that he had fallen near the larger mobile fortress. A strange feeling filled his body and mind. He felt that something seemed to have appeared in his body and something in his mind. A majestic voice kept telling him the truth that humans could not understand, and part of his body that he had known in the past... seemed to be no longer owned.
He understood that this was his third life, and in this life, the God of War... had begun to demand the price of miracles.
Even though he is not a believer of the God of War, as long as he is in this blizzard and bears the power given by God, he must act according to the rules of miracles.
The clouds formed by water vapor below were still thick and seemed to not dissipate for a long time, but Claymont knew that the direction of his fall was correct. He no longer had any 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 adjusted his direction with his only remaining power, so that he could face southeast and Aldnan.
