Act 339: Glory III
It was a magnificent sword supported by the power of the Extreme Realm, and the golden flames in the sky seemed to bring the scorching elemental world to the sky above the battlefield; The entire Cruze Empire and the countries under the Temple of Fire will not add up to more than ten powerhouses who have reached the extreme realm, and each of their respective experiences is a legend to the ordinary people present, just like the Earth Sword Saint Darus back then, who dares to say that he can take his sword smoothly - I'm afraid that today's 'Cross Hand' Buga doesn't have this confidence.
But it was such a sword that sank in front of Brando. When countless golden threads of law that cut through the rain curtain hit the pure white light curtain that appeared one by one, the human eye could not react because of the speed that was too fast, and everyone only saw the flames scattering and rolling back like fireworks, like a golden cosmos blooming in the torrential rain.
Then the flame dies out of invisibility.
The thread of the law that represents flame and sublimation has been reversed, which only means one thing in the world of Vaynd. That is, the law authority is too low-level, and it is rejected by a higher priority, but it is the law of the extreme realm, the extreme realm of the fire element.
Could it be the power of zài?
Everyone was stunned, but only Brando understood that it seemed that of all the rules he had seen, the traveling mage's self-contained world seemed to be the first priority to have a Vaynd world. The description on the Destiny card comes first and then the cause, no matter how bizarre, the world of Vaughnd will be the first to agree.
The description on the Ordination of Anjo makes one attack ineffective, so no matter how powerful the next attack is, it can destroy the world. Brando can be as good as he shows the card.
This is the strongest shield. And such a rule, even he himself is amazed, let alone others.
But Brando didn't stop, taking advantage of Williams' distraction. He took the opportunity to place four Nightmare Furnace Structures into the field, and the Nightmare Furnace Structures broke through the ground and crawled out of the ground like shining metal beetles, about the size of a human head. These creatures, which are nothing more than the pinnacle of black iron, were unnoticeable when they first appeared. However, their abilities can replicate themselves by devouring the light elemental, and white balls of light continue to fly out of Brando's hands and merge into the nightmare furnaces of these ugly constructs, and their number on the battlefield quickly increased to thirty-two.
Brando's current elemental pool has grown to 78 blocks of fire as his strength has grown. 51 blocks for the air elemental, 55 blocks for the earth element, and 48 blocks for the water element. There are 50 blocks of light elements and 30 blocks of dark elements, but the pool of natural elements is still not open. He had been cautious in his previous battles using the Brigade's mage's abilities, only summoning and maintaining the Holy Sword and the Wind Spirit Spider with more than 40 Earth Elements and 1 Wind Elemental. The summoning life tome is also free to enter the game by discarding the wave gems, and the cards such as the wave gems and the eternal orb themselves have always been on the field, which means that at this moment, Brando's other elemental pools are actually almost full.
He put down 4 Nightmare Furnace Structures, using up a total of 4 Dark Elementals, and when these Structures proliferated to thirty-two, his Light Elemental Pool status instantly changed to 0/50.
The next full proliferation will take thirty-two points.
From four to eight, from eight to sixteen. Doubling from sixteen to sixteen, the changes around Brando finally caught Williams' attention, and the population of the strange metal beetles expanded almost instantly. He had mistakenly thought that Brando was a summoner, so he was extremely wary of all of Brando's summons, but if he felt it carefully. Realizing that the Nightmare Furnace Construct was nothing more than the existence of the pinnacle of black iron, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the two huge life scriptures in front of Brando.
The two Sacred Books of Life that glowed with pure white light were silently suspended there, and at first it seemed that they had no effect, but the moment Brando released four Nightmare Furnace Structures to enter the arena, the huge Sacred Book of Life suddenly began to flip in sync, and they flipped four pages. Every time the page was turned, a pure power spread out from the sacred tome and spread across the battlefield.
It was a soft ripple of light that passed through all the soldiers who were allied with Brando, and the wounds on those soldiers immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the eight light waves completely spread throughout the battlefield, even the soldiers who were missing hands and legs regrew their limbs and got up from the ground.
In mid-air, Charles had just used a magical shield to rescue Métisa from a Templar. However, Andreg was stabbed in the midriff with a sword from another female Templar who arrived with him, nearly severing her waist. The vampire princess snorted lightly and immediately lost consciousness and fell from mid-air, but it was at this moment that a soft white aura passed through her body, and her wounds immediately began to heal rapidly, and after eight consecutive auras, the vampire princess actually opened her eyes again.
She stopped in mid-air, then stopped.
And more importantly, the body, which had been exhausted since the battle, seemed to be re-energized, as if it had been completely rested for several hours.
Miracles!
At that moment, everyone had only one thought in their hearts, and even in the eyes of those noble private soldiers, there was at least a divine envoy of the god of life who was fighting side by side with them. You can imagine how much morale bonus it would have for ordinary soldiers if they didn't have to worry about being injured or even crippled on the battlefield, almost immediately, and the princess's army immediately erupted in cheers like a tsunami.
The morale of the princess's side was greatly boosted, and relatively speaking, the morale of the Northern Alliance's already low morale was even lower, if it weren't for the monks of the Flame Temple in the sky to support them, I am afraid that the army of these nobles would immediately retreat.
Williams frowned, "Stop that summoner, don't let him activate those two artifact books!" He ordered his men - it was a little embarrassing to say, although Williams benefited a lot after breaking through the limit of his strength in that moment and swinging a sword, he was a little out of strength at the moment. Although he was free to protect himself, it was a bit overwhelming to break through the Blacktower Wizard's defenses and attack Brando.
He could only order the remaining eleven Templars to strike at Brando.
Hearing this order, Charles, Metisa, Ropar, and Andreg immediately sensed danger. After all, the eleven Templars of the Flame Sanctuary were powerhouses of elemental civilization, in fact, at this time, their defense was already clumsy, and if the other party wanted to bypass them and attack the lord, they really had no way at all.
"Brando." Charles reminded Brando of the road as he used the near-stagnant element of time to form a wall of sluggishness in front of him.
"I see." Brando replied.
He threw out another card, and the red light flashed in his hand, and a flame burst out of the mountain forest. "Scorched Hell's Djinn!" When Williams looked at the troll that had formed from the flames, he suddenly called out to Martha. Brando summoned the Fire Djinn. However, with the bonus of the Golden Radiance Battle Banner, it has been upgraded to a more advanced Scorched Helldjinn, which looks similar to the Fire Djinn, only larger. And under the golden flames, there is also a black Scorched Hell fire, and more importantly, it will also explode itself.
As high-ranking personnel of the Flame Temple, the Templars were naturally no strangers to the fire elemental plane. They were also familiar with the characteristics of some of the creatures that lived in that world, so as soon as this huge flame monster appeared in their field of vision, everyone's faces turned pale.
That's a terrorist at the pinnacle of gold.
But it's obviously too late to retreat.
In fact, at that moment, everyone on the battlefield felt that the sky seemed to darken slightly, but it was just an illusion caused by the pupils contracting in order to adapt to the strong light. I saw a very bright little sun rising from the mountains and forests, and everything seemed to be overshadowed by it.
Then a scorching shock wave swept across the land, and even the rain in the sky seemed to be evaporated in an instant.
The eleven Templars who were present were even more uncomfortable, and the first two were not lightly injured, one of the cuirass and shoulder armor melted in the heat, leaving a burn on his face. The others also had to retreat one after another, and the encirclement that had been formed with great difficulty was suddenly broken.
But what makes them even more unbearable is that. As soon as the Scorched Helldjinn dispersed, two more white circles of light spread out from the Holy Book of Life, and the wounds on the opposite side of Charles, Metisa, Ropar, and Andreg were once again invisible.
How does this work?
Brando's summoning this time is the Forge of Adversity, and Ekronia's Forge of Adversity is the third card in Paradise of Adversity, which costs 30 any. He specified 30 wind elements in lieu of payment. At this moment, with the cost of summoning the fire djinn before, Brando's Fire Elemental Pool and Wind Elemental Pool have also been reduced to 63/78 and 20/51.
Ekronia's Forges of Adversity had to be enchanted with a Volcano land, and Brando had the Ember Volcano land. As soon as he attached the card, he saw that there was immediately an industrial-style metal building on top of the Ember Volcano in the world of the traveling mage.
The Forges of Adversity is arguably the engine of the Paradise of Adversity deck, and its role is to sacrifice creatures from the Ecronia set to obtain a special resource for the deck, energy.
However, for the time being, Brando does not have an Ecronian soldier on his hands, and he still needs time. Brando is back in the real world once again. Then the penultimate hand is thrown.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield had become white-hot, and the valley was almost full of monks from the Northern Alliance and the Temple of Fire, and Lantonilan's army only occupied one foot of the battlefield, and the Naga, the non-commissioned officers and students of the Royal Knight Academy, and the White Lion Guards joined them side by side to hold the opponent's army in front of the main position.
The situation seems precarious, but with the power of the Life Sacred Scripture, it can still be supported by it. The chivalric young man Eco finally understood how Brando was ready to help him.
He couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Mr. Knight, I didn't expect you to be a powerful summoner!" "Obviously, this guy is also mistaken.
But Brando immediately made him more wrong.
The penultimate card he threw was none other than the Defeated Guardian card of Pitch Black Adversity, the Defeated Guardian card, and the fifth card of Adversity Paradise for fifteen dark costs. The feature of this set of cards is that there is no limit to the number of cards on the field, and each card will place ten black creatures called Defeated Guardians, and for every corpse stored on the battlefield, a black creature called Defeated Guardians will be added.
Brando has long privately argued that if there's one place where this card can do its best, it's the battlefield. And now. That's when it works at its best.
Brando paid fifteen darks, and the dark elemental pool was instantly reduced to 11/30. But at that moment, the most spectacular scene on the battlefield since the beginning of the war appeared.
At this moment in the Mar Heights, there were thousands of corpses on the battlefield, and when the defeated guards entered the field, they were under the slippery mud and meadows. With a 'bang', countless pitch-black arms burst out of the ground.
"Ahh
"Ma ......"
"...... Madara?"
Whether it was the Northern Coalition Army or the soldiers on the princess's side, they all screamed in fright for a moment. Some of them also participated in the First War of the Black Roses. Knowing all too well about Madara's ruthless fighting style, it's a nightmare for a dead comrade to appear on the opposite side of you the next moment and pick up a sword to attack you.
Isn't it clear that the two countries have signed a peace agreement? Why are those horrible guys here again?
It was only in the next moment that they realized that this was not those former enemies. Because of these sudden appearances, the warriors who were covered in patterns, and whose upper and lower bodies were covered with heavy armor and double-wielding swords, crawled out of the ground and immediately attacked only the northern coalition forces.
Is it an ally? Princess Griffiin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she realized something, and her silver eyes opened slightly to look at Brando: "Cloth...... Mr. Brando, this ...... These are ......"
"Y-You're a necromancer?"
Brando smiled wryly, in fact, he kept this card at the end for this reason, and the summoning effect was too much like a necromancer.
He shook his head: "Your Royal Highness, Princess." Have you ever seen a living necromancer? ”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Princess Griffiin seem to think of something that should not be thought of at once, her face turned red, and she subconsciously touched her lips - as we all know, necromancers have no body temperature, "I'm sorry." It's me who is too careful. Her Royal Highness sighed softly.
Brando rolled his eyes.
However, it seems that necromancy does have a bad reputation in the mortal world, so it is better to use this card less in the future. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he still explained: "Actually, it is their credit." ”
"They?"
Princess Griffiin and Earl Outin both saw the metal beetle next to Brando—they certainly didn't know it was called a Nightmare Forge Creature. This thing had never been seen in Vaynd's history, and it was not even the first time that Brando, who had seen so much about monsters and had a lot of treasures for monsters, let alone these two natives.
"Yes," Brando began, "This thing is called a necromancer." Although it is a constructed creature. But he can cast a simple necromancy spell, which was invented by an extremely clever rune master. ”
Princess Griffiin and Earl Outin nodded in unison when they looked at the horrific Furnace Construct and saw that their ugly shape did indeed resemble a necromantic aesthetic, and that it was indeed a constructed creature.
After all, people are willing to believe in cognitions that are more in line with their common sense.
"Brando...... You're too good at lying......" Only Ortales couldn't help but sigh and said in his heart. Then she asked suspiciously, "Did you lie to me about anything?" ”
"Absolutely not!" Brando immediately shook his head: "You also saw it, Lord Ortales, this is also a last resort." ”
The Wind Elf Royal Sister nodded and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
And while Brando was explaining, the Northern Coalition was out of luck. The defeated guards summoned by Brando are different - the level of the defeated guards is only related to the number of black land cards owned by the brigade mage, he has the three black land cards of Ruogen Swamp, Netherland Water, and Death Forest, so the defeated guards he summoned have level 15, which is about equivalent to the strength of the lower reaches of black iron, and under the golden battle banner, he has become a defeated knight at the peak of level 25 black iron.
A Defeated Guardian card covers a range of about a few thousand feet, and can evoke almost 1,500 black tokens, which means that Brando instantly has a 1,500-strong army of Black Iron Peak in his hands.
Coupled with the 'positive effect' brought by the three words 'Madara Undead' army, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. The Northern Coalition Army will not be able to advance a single step forward at this time.
However, what surprised Brando the most was that the question that he was worried about whether the combat effectiveness of human soldiers fighting side by side with the army of the undead would be affected and decline did not appear. Even the noble private soldiers were well receptive to the 'new comrades-in-arms', which even seemed a little unreal. But it dawned on him that he had acquired the talent of the Chosen One in the Ring of the Trade Winds, which allowed multiple races to fight together without losing morale, a talent that he had almost forgotten because it had had no practical effect.
But I didn't expect it to be so expressive.
The rest is simple.
The sacrificial Defeated Guards on the battlefield are entering the Crucible of Adversity in Ekronia one by one, and double-digit energy is soon entering Brando's reserves. At the same time, the eleven Templars in mid-air formed a new encirclement and prepared to attack Metisa, but at this time, Brando raised his head and raised his sword.
The Earth Sword pointed at a Templar in mid-air. A black aura converges on the Sword of Earth, and the penultimate card is revealed: Lightning Storm.
Lightning Storm (Adversity Paradise VI), 4 Energy; Spells – real-time; Effect: Tap all Furnace Structures on the field. Target designation deals 5 true damage per Nightmare Forge Structure. Enter the cemetery after use. 'Volley! - Commander of the Ecronian Legion, Tylin'
The crowd heard a stabbing sound, and the thirty-two Furnace Structures around Brando simultaneously emitted a black lightning bolt that shot at the Templar in mid-air. Black lightning converged in mid-air. Forming a large, sharp claw, the Templar reacted quickly, and immediately subconsciously used the thread of law to weave a golden barrier in front of him.
Unfortunately, the description of 'Lightning Storm Target Assignment deals 5 True Damage per Nightmare Furnace Structure' immediately took effect at the highest priority, and everyone saw that the black lightning bolts did not seem to be entangled with the golden thread in front of the Templar, and directly hit him in the chest.
It's as if he didn't have any defenses at all.
"It can't be!"
The Templar had only one thought in his head, but at the same moment the pain had torn through his body. He had been seriously injured in the explosion of the Scorched Hell's Djinn before, and the damage of more than 170 points was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly knocking him out of mid-air.
"Raphael!" The female Templar exclaimed, she probably never dreamed that a dignified Templar would fall in such a battle.
"Be careful." Williams is worthy of being a master of the recent Extreme Realm, and his perception of the law is extremely keen. He immediately discerned the mystery hidden in Brando's lightning and reminded his men: "That lightning can't be hard-connected, be careful to avoid it!" ”
But the Templar lieutenant finally felt in danger, and he witnessed the proliferation of the Furnace Structure. I originally thought that it was just a gadget at the pinnacle of black iron, but I didn't expect it to have such a terrifying means of attack.
Ignore the law.
Williams didn't know why Brando had so many bizarre attacks, but he didn't want to see the next one.
"Knights of the White Wing!" He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Prepare to assemble!" ”
Knights of the White Wings - the fifth rank of the Cruz, and the Silver Winged Cavalry of the Eruin Whitemane Legion is modeled after these knights of the Cruz. However, the difference is that the Whitewing Knights of the Cruz are true Pegasus Knights, and each of them has at least a golden rank.
Appeared on the battlefield today. It was this more than 100 gold-rank heavy assault cavalry.
As if in response to the Grand Master's order, countless silver wings shone in the rain, and the proud cavalry of the Cruz gathered and began to assemble. The Cruz cavalry on the battlefield screamed, and the higher-ranking Pegasus knights immediately began to break away from the group, and these heavily armored stormtroopers descended to lower altitudes and began to dive towards Brando's position.
They ran straight through the archers' feathered defensive lines, smashing them to pieces. Although the Cruz Empire has countless strong men, in fact, it is their front-line army that really shines in large-scale wars - and today, there are only a few elite armies in the four major empires in Vainde.
The Knights of the White Wing, who have the honor of making their name among the most powerful legions.
The knights at the front had already raised their spears, the armor of their flying horses glistening, spells such as the wings of the wind were at work, and good discipline had caused them to shoot almost in a straight silver line towards Brando.
It's just that Brando doesn't seem to even look at them. The White-Winged Knights couldn't help but be slightly stunned in their hearts, could it be that they were scared stupid? But how could a summoner with the ability to summon artifacts be stupid by them?
A crimson ponytail had flashed in their field of vision, and then the red-haired girl had her eyes burning with golden flames—Akane was bare-handed and unarmed, but she pounced on the charging knight like a ready female beast.
It's too fast.
In fact, the white-winged knight at the head only had time to see the white-skinned five fingers clenched into a fist growing larger and larger in his field of vision.
Then there was a 'bang' and he was like a cannonball being knocked off his horse's back. Akane spun around in mid-air and stomped heavily on his Pegasus, slamming the beast into the forest below, leaping upwards to see another knight in front of her.
The unlucky guy had just seen his companion suffer, suspected that the other party had hit a giant dragon, and was frightened and tried to dodge, but the figure of the red-haired girl had just formed a double shadow in his eyes, and the next moment the cold hand had already choked his neck.
"Golden Peak...... How could it be so fast......"
He looked horrified at the red-haired girl's eyes that looked like golden swirls for the last thought he had. Akane lifted it up like a chicken and threw him out in mid-air. The knight collided with the third, and the two men and horses crashed into the valley below like a comet.
After killing three Whitewing Knights in a row, Akane stopped and fell back to the ground. She raised her head, and more than a hundred white-winged knights were so frightened by a little girl that they all stopped, and scattered in the air in a panic, and the red-haired girl bared her little tiger teeth.
On her body, the scaly texture of her arms and bare thighs flickered faintly.
It's the Dragonborn—
A shadow rose in Williams's mind.
At the same time, Brando, who cast the spell 'Lightning Storm'. Gained permission to redraw three cards from your library.
'Mind Speed, costs 22 Light or Dark, and when either player casts a spell, the wielder draws three cards from the top of their library. Before the next time the Mind Acceleration works, players shuffle their hands with more than eight cards back to the library. ’
That's exactly what the eighth card of Paradise of Adversity does. Brando had been preparing for this enchantment for a long time, and that was the real reason why he had asked Her Highness to stay for a while.
Then he draws down to the top of his library.
Desperate Trojan Horse, high-spirited, blade of the white sun.
A smile appeared on Brando's face, he didn't expect that the power to fight back would return to him so quickly.
From adversity to heaven, but only a thin line.
……
(PS: 7000 words big chapter, you know.) Continue to ask for tickets~~
I will recommend a good book to everyone, everyone helps collect + red tickets, no, you can Baidu: Chibei, Golden Throne. Would I say it's Kuroko's book?
Here's a synopsis of the book: The suffering of empires comes not only from the fall of today, but also from the glory of the past.
One day, however, the emperor's will echoed in a trillion-dollar world.
Calling for a return from the darkness, not only for salvation, but also in response to an oracle—
'The two-headed eagle will spread its wings again, and the throne of gold will be forged of iron and blood. His majesty rests on ordinary names, his enemies will tremble, and his legend is inscribed on the epic of the conqueror. ’
