Act 122 Appearance (Part I)

On the Vaund continent, mortals may be able to witness countless changes and strange things in their short lives, but for the defenders of Port Rune, whether in the past or in the future, I am afraid that they will not be able to forget what they saw after noon on this day:

The horizon was covered with black clouds, as if a storm was accumulating, but this storm was not a dead thing, the heart was beating strongly in the dragons' bodies, the deep breath was mixed with wind, thunder and flames, and the tenacious wings were stirring every time as if the entire black sea surface was undulating once, they were not dragons, but they were also incomparably powerful. Some people say that when the Empire's Golden Eagle Knights launched a swarm charge, it was as if heaven had descended on the scene, which was impassioned and exhilarating, and at the same time made their enemies tremble, but at this moment, when the dragon beast horde attacked, the human cavalry seemed to be a drop in the ocean in front of them, and any spirit would disappear without a trace.

At the head of Port Rune, the soldiers on top of each tower were sounding the alarm with all their might, as if they would collapse to the ground in fear and lose all their strength. And the clanging warning sound resounded in the sky, on the city wall, the officers of the port garrison looked at the scene in front of them, their mouths were already dry and soft, the last time the dragon beast group attacked, they rushed directly into the port from above the clouds and burned all the ships before leaving, far less intuitive horror than today.

Everyone understands that these monsters are coming straight at them, and that the entire Port of Rune will be reduced to ashes under their flames.

At this moment, the sky above the harbor seemed to be divided into two distinct sides, one side was clear and bright, half of the sky was flashing with fluorescent white light, and the silver warships were turning from illusion to reality, but the process was extremely slow; On the other side, there is an oppressive dark red canopy. The heat and flames of the dragon beast as they skimmed through the sky seemed to burn through the clouds, causing the entire sky to burn. The air was filled with a disgusting pungent smell of sulfur that stimulated the human sense of smell and taste, and when the completely different scenes above the air dissolved, a bright crack was created in the center, as if a spatial rift, but in fact it was just a visual illusion caused by chromatic aberration, and this bright band of light was slowly approaching the entire port. In every human heart is a sign of the coming of the final judgment.

The dragon beast herd moved faster than expected, but in the blink of an eye, the black dots on the horizon were larger, and after a while, it seemed that even the scales on their wings were clearly visible, and the wooden eyeballs and Bai Sensen's teeth in the sunken eye sockets were even more terrifying. Before the clouds of fire swept over the walls, the defenders of Port Rune had wavered in their will and fled down the city in pieces, and no one stopped them. At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with despair - this little strength of the human race could not even be called a mantis arm in the face of this great power, and even the dragon beasts did not need to attack, as long as they flew over the city wall, they could be reduced to ashes.

Although there are still people who have not escaped, it is not because these people still have courage in their hearts, but they understand that no one can escape, and this port has now turned into a cage of life.

Vasily condescendingly witnessed the desperation of the entire imperial army. However, he did not despise the cowardice of his colleagues, and every courage was pale and meaningless in the face of absolute power. No matter what they do at this moment, nothing will help. The tower roared and trembled, and the masonry used to build it was falling apart and rolling to the ground, flames and winds swept in, and then it began to tilt and collapse, and Vasily lost his balance and fell to the ground. Watching the walls crack after crack seemed to mock the weakness of humanity. He couldn't help but put down the rope in his hand that connected the bronze bell above his head, his hands were bloodstained but he didn't find it, and there was already a sea of fire in his vision, and then one giant beast after another flapped its wings and flew out of the sea of fire.

That's the dragons.

The walls of the port of Rune did not serve any purpose in restraining the zuò. Even a little delay had little effect, and the group of dragons swept directly across the plains beyond the walls, spreading their wings and flying over the walls, turning their path into a sea of fire, their goal clear - it was the silver fleet that was teleporting in mid-air. Although Brando's wizard apprentices have dropped the anchor point in mid-air, the teleportation is far from complete, and the first to arrive is the corvette that consumes the least mana, this two-masted or even single-masted willow-like ship will sail directly out of the berth as soon as it arrives at Rune Airport, their hulls are long and narrow, but they have a large spinnaker made of wind sails, so they are fast and agile, and can quickly form a hemispherical defensive circle in mid-air.

By this time, the Cruz nobles and officials on the bridge had seen that the decks of these frigates were not Buga, but black- or brown-haired humans—Eruins in naval uniforms, who were orderly controlling the sailboats, manipulating the sails, or giving orders. The heavily armored knights in silver armor were already lined up on both sides of the ship with spears nearly three meters long, ready to deal with the enemy who landed from the air, and the armor on the knights was not unprecedented, just like the armor worn by the guards around the young Earl.

Is this really an Eruin fleet?

The Count of Alcons on the bridge and his retainers were speechless in shock.

However, Brando knew that this was the navy that the Buga had cultivated for him as agreed, the navy that belonged to Valhalla, and it could be seen that Antitina and Her Royal Highness the princess had cooperated well, and the Buga people were also very efficient, and this fleet had exceeded his expectations - but as a real army, this navy had still not seen blood and fire, like a blade without a blade. But it was just today, and he didn't expect that on the day his navy was formed, it would usher in a real battle, just like the grinding that a divine sword must go through when it came out of the box, but as an opening statement, the next battle may be a little too tragic.

Brando stared at the approaching group of dragon beasts, and silently made a calculation in his heart.

No matter what, he will never spend all the seeds here, this is the prototype of Valhalla's future navy, a good start is too important for a class that needs historical precipitation, and as a former player, he is also extremely familiar with how those big guilds cultivated their own navy back then.

At this moment, the captains of the frigate are saluting the cloth with the flag. Waiting for the lord to give the order, Brando nodded to them - what he had to do now was to stop the dragon beast herd at any cost, this was the mission of these light ships that arrived on the battlefield first, and in fact this was the value of these light warships - fast, flexible, able to complete teleportation in the shortest possible time, and possess a certain amount of firepower. It is enough to protect the entire fleet to complete the whole process of teleportation, although the current situation is more extreme, but it also vividly shows the duties of the frigate in the floating fleet.

Brando's gesture was passed on by one flag after another, and these corvettes began to stir up the sails with all their might, although the floating battleships were not much different from the traditional sail warships in appearance, but in fact they did not rely on the power of the wind as a power, the huge wind sails were woven with the silk of the wind in precious gold, this special material can collect the wind element free from the air as the power source of the ship, when they are full force agitation. It's like dozens of high-level wizards working hard to inject mana into the magic power-up, which will enter the ship's power center and propel the ship forward.

The frigates were light and small, shot out of the fleet like arrows driven by huge sails, and soon reached the airspace of the port of Rune, forming a horizontal formation over the city, although according to the Holy Covenant on the mainland, the floating fleet rarely fought over the city. But it is clear that there is no need to take care of so much at this moment, and their enemies may not stop to negotiate with them. For the underground inhabitants of Jorgande, the Holy Covenant was almost nothing more than a piece of paper.

Everyone looked up at the long crescent arc in mid-air, and even the most stubborn port officials were shut at the moment, and even the most arrogant people put away their prejudices before death came. There was silence in the port square at the moment, whether it was a nobleman or a port official. Even civilians; Whether it's the Cruz, or the Eruin, or any race from elsewhere, including mountain people, or even a few adventurers of different races. When you shut your mouth.

Everyone understood that their life and death had been closely linked to this thin line of defense, and half of the city had been turned into a sea of fire, and the fat man with the big belly who had been chattering the most fiercely before had finally realized this, and those fierce dragon beasts would never let them go because they were nobles, and in their eyes, they were no different from those burning stones and woods, and they had to face the same predicament as the Earl of Orcons had experienced before- The preferential treatment of nobles in the war on the continent of Vaynd seems to have disappeared with the invasion of these underground monsters.

The aristocrats saw war as glory, but now they had to face the struggle for life and death, and the barbarism used blood and fire to strip it of its original false and warm side, and all that was left was the naked and primitive law.

Everyone's faces turned pale, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Fat Efram was frightened, but at least on the surface, this second ancestor from the Elson family was much better than most of the Cruz nobles present, who once had a visceral sense of superiority over the Eruin nobles, a superiority built on the strength of the empire, which made it impossible for anyone to refute and frustrating. But now, they have to rely on the Eruin to survive, this thought seems to give Efram confidence, even if he is scared half to death, but there is still a strange feeling in his heart:

Even the mighty Cruz were lost in this desperate environment, but only the Eruin were still resisting the formidable enemy.

A sense of honor is ingrained once it is born, Eruin's hundreds of years of history, the journey of the ancestor Eke overcoming obstacles and leading the people out of the siege, pride and glory are like a trickle flowing into the depths of his soul, history and the past, scenes of the real walk down from the history books he has read, presented in front of Ephram, one after another shining flags, like the ocean, into his field of vision.

The fat man opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a little suffocated by the heaviness.

In mid-air, the tragic battle has just begun.

Countless complex and sophisticated magic circles suddenly flashed on the side of the frigates, rockets, ice arrows, sharp cyclones, and a magical storm over the dragon beast group was generated out of thin air, and countless spells crossed a distance of nearly a thousand meters and hit the dragon group like raindrops, Brando smiled secretly in his heart when he saw this scene, thinking that it was really impossible for the Buga people to cultivate so many human mages in such a short time. It seems that this so-called 'Eruin fleet' is only what it looks like, and most of the wizards and gunners hiding in the gun room below deck are real Bugas.

Fortunately, Tanya and William still know how to make faces, and most of the wizards placed in this fleet are apprentices in the academy, otherwise they can't explain how the Eruin people can suddenly have a shipload of official wizards, but at this time, Brando hopes that the Buga people can be thicker-skinned, at least so that he won't need to be so troublesome to win.

The apprentice's mage also has almost the power of a full-fledged wizard under the amplitude of the circle on the floating battleship. However, it was still difficult to penetrate the tough skin and scales of the drakes, and although some of them were injured, they only slowed down, and after a round of magic attacks, not a single drake fell in mid-air, on the contrary, taking advantage of the human attack, these monsters once again narrowed the distance between them and the escort fleet.

The hearts of all the people in the port square were in their throats at this moment.

In their eyes, the thin line of defense of the Eruin fleet was both in terms of its apparent strength. Still in terms of visual effects, it is really difficult to match the group of dragons and beasts like dark clouds, it is not a group of buzzing mosquitoes, but a real seventh-level creature. In the midst of everyone's attention, the rolling dark clouds will finally collide with the silver crescent moon, and at this moment, the side of the silver convoy suddenly flashes with a dazzling white light.

This time it's no longer the weak magic of the wizard apprentices, it's the magic cannon. The captains of the convoy endured until the last thousand feet before they gave the order to open fire, and one by one the gun doors were opened. The amethyst-shaped spires pierced out from the crowd, and the wizard began to inject magic power, but in three or four breaths, the entire fleet of side sides let out a deafening roar, which was the roar of the side of the board with full firepower, and the white pillars of light were like sharp blades into the dragon beast herd. This time, these creatures from the underground of Qiaogendigang were not so lucky, and in an instant, they were pierced through their wings or directly pierced through their bodies, and they fell from mid-air with a wail, sprinkling a filthy rain of blood.

The strangulation in mid-air lasted for a full ten breaths, and the continuous rain of light almost converged into a large net. In the captain's room, next to each captain Eruin, there was a Buga man in a silver military uniform with a thick beard who was squinting his eyes to observe the scene outside the window, and the terrifying magic was as weak as a ceremonial flower in the eyes of these people, and the dragon beasts that were torn apart by these ceremonial flowers seemed to them to be similar to mosquitoes fighting fires, and after looking at them for a long time, they said lightly:

"It's still a little too early, in Buga, even the most inferior fleet, the commanders can endure until the last five hundred feet of fire, for the firepower on the frigate, this is the most effective killing range."

Hearing this, the captains of Eruin couldn't help but blush, and after nearly four months of training, they didn't expect to be foreign in the first battle.

But the instructor of the Buga people immediately shook his head again: "However, according to the tradition of Buga, you who have studied for four months are equivalent to intermediate cadets of the Naval Academy at most, and in terms of the results of the cadets, this is also a good answer sheet." You have great talents, and I hope you can be the best navy in the mortal world. ”

Hearing this, the captains finally looked a little better, and then they had some longing, the best navy in the mortal world, which has always belonged to the Empire, the Wind Elves and the Faenzans, when will it be the turn of the Eruin? Now, however, such an opportunity was placed in front of them, and it did not seem so far away, and this qiē had been created by the man who had brought a miracle to Eruin, and in fact even the fleet itself was already a miracle.

This is the fleet that belongs to this ancient kingdom, and on this fleet, there are not only young people in Toniguel, but it is impossible for Tonigel to gather so many excellent talents, in fact, a large part of them were summoned by Princess Guò Griffiin from all the provinces of the kingdom - regardless of origin, all of them have the same opportunity to stand here and witness and even participate in the birth of this fleet.

For these young people, the miracle created by Brando's own hands, the ancient honor of the Eruin Kingdom, has long been closely linked to them, and they breathe a common destiny, one in glory and one in loss.

And at this moment, in the face of the surging group of dragon beasts, what they felt was not fear, but the belligerent genes that surged from the depths of their blood.

They will fight alongside the legendary Buga, and regardless of the final outcome, this war alone today will go down in history with Eruin.

The Buga instructor knocked on the glass of the porthole to bring these enthusiastic young captains back to their senses, he was familiar with such scenes, young cadets were always enthusiastic in the first battle, but they would soon be integrated into the Buga sense of discipline in their bones, and the fleet needed precision operations, not a bloody knightly charge. But it always feels good to go back to his youth like this, he wiped his beard, pointed to the group of dragons and beasts that were still advancing outside the porthole, and said: "Don't be too happy, this kind of Cheng Dù's attack is nothing for a seventh-level creature, the bloody battle is still to come, as the captain of the frigate, you must hold this line of defense until the entire fleet arrives, and then launch a counterattack-"

The young captain nodded solemnly, but it was at this time that he was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong?" The Buga instructor was aware of the anomaly in his own students.

“…… My lord, tell us to stand back. ”

"Back off?"
