Chapter 328: Blitzkrieg (I)
Night falls.
The sun's light vanished below the horizon, and in its place darkness gradually enveloped the world. Even the clouds floating in the sky were dyed with a dark color at this time. But he didn't notice that in the sea of clouds, a powerful, invisible force was rolling in it, and the boiling waves of air tore through the thick clouds, and the pitch-black metal reflected the last trace of the sunset, like the back of a giant beast in the sea of clouds, emerging from it, and then disappearing again.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I think it's incredible."
Standing on the bridge of the ship, looking at the sea of clouds that split in front of him, Rhodes muttered to himself. As far as the eye can see, the entire bridge is busy quietly and methodically, dozens of young girls with long white hair are sitting in front of the console made of strange runes, concentrating on manipulating the behemoth in front of them. Although they all looked different, they all had one thing in common——— hanging on the sides of their temples, as if something like a cable was inserted into the console in front of them like some kind of connecting wire, shining with a soft shimmer.
"It's yours to be able to build a magic guide warship in such a short period of time, Kalian."
As he spoke, Rhodes turned his head to look at the girl sitting next to him, who was pressing her hands on the square column console in front of her, carved with mysterious patterns and symbols, in which colorful magical light appeared, and then disappeared in a flash. To tell the truth, after summoning Kalian's subordinates with cards, Rhodes knew for the first time that the initiator of the proposal to create a "pseudo-human" was actually the girl in front of him. As for the reason, it is very simple, in the war against Chaos, even the undead cannot maintain this continuous consumption, and the time required for simple reproduction and reproduction is too long. That's why Kalian proposed to create a "pseudo-human" to assist in the battle, perhaps in the world where Rhodes is located, this kind of technique can be regarded as a bottom line against moral conscience, but for everyone on the Dragon Soul Continent, as long as they can repel evil, they will not hesitate to use any means. And after that. Karen and Marin, who was formerly a demon god, carried out the work of creating a pseudo-human. And this, naturally, has also become the combat unit she used.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty."
Hearing Rod's compliment, Karene lifted her glasses, her eyes reflecting a steady stream of magical signals.
"The battle against Chaos does not allow us to waste our time, and we simply have no extra time to waste and squander in the face of the disasters of the past. If we can't create a weapon that can withstand chaos in the shortest possible time, then we don't have any future. ”
"Still. It's already amazing. ”
Hearing Karen's answer, Rhodes whistled and set his eyes on the giant battleship in front of him again.
The magic guide battleship - Deusexmachina, with a total length of 395 meters, a width of 52 meters, and a height of 30 meters. Equipped with 3,000 siege magic cannons and 2,500 annihilation-class escort magic cannons, plus three main ship guns, Fantasy Rainbow. In front of this behemoth, even Lydia's "Holy Maiden" is dwarfed. And what surprised Rhodes the most was not the itself. Rather, it was built at a speed ——— less than a month and a half from the time Karen led her subordinates to complete its construction. So fast. It's a god speed.
However, there is a harvest and a pay, although this magic guide battleship is indeed quite domineering, but it also consumes a lot, although the last thing that is lacking in Rhodes's territory is all kinds of magic ores and raw materials, but reprocessing is still a problem. And Kalian's way of solving the problem was also very rude, and they directly abandoned the method of using high-level magic furnaces for smelting and extraction. Instead, a large alchemy circle is used to directly attract raw materials from the ground to transform the material form and turn them into finished products. Of course, Rhodes also paid a lot for this, and this magic guide battleship alone cost him almost one-third of his fantasy magic stones. Although Labis was reluctant to do so, she had no right to refuse. On the other hand, the various "large craters" like the surface of the moon dug by Kalian and others are still waiting for Rhodes to deal with the aftermath.
Unlike Lydia's "Holy Maiden", if the "Holy Maiden" still retains the form of a primitive ship, then Deusexmachina is closer to the impression of Rhodes and Canary as a space battleship, it is rectangular in shape, the bridge is located in the center of the lower front, the metal wings on both sides are constantly shining bright and dazzling points, and the dense turrets are closed in the smooth and complete metal walls. From the outside, the whole battleship looks like a harmless white rabbit, but when the flames of war break out, it will show its claws and launch the deadliest attack on the enemy in front of it.
And that's not even counting the two magic frigates on either side of it at the moment, although they are not as large as Deusexmachina, but the hundred-meter-long, equally pitch-black, dim, metallic hull and huge black cannon muzzles also show that they are not easy to mess with.
Everything is ready to go.
“……… Give an order to the entire air fleet, target, the sky over Casablanca, the home capital of the Radiant Dragon Nation, ........."
Rhodes looked up, his eyes shining with an intense, bright and excited glow like a nova colliding out.
"This is a declaration of war......... We have lit the wolf smoke, this is a declaration of war against Chaos, the passive defense has passed, from now on we will launch a counterattack, an attack, and then an invasion. From now on, it will be time for us to attack, and the time has come to bring Chaos and their followers down the abyss......... So, let's get started! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Woo————!!"
A deafening roar sounded, and the huge metal battleship plunged headlong into the sea of clouds like a deep sea beast, it was like a sharp giant blade tearing through the sea of clouds, and when it passed through the boundless sea of clouds, what appeared in front of Rhodes was the shining city of Casablanca. The light reflects the whole city as bright as day, dazzling, and as intoxicating as a pearl without floating dust.
The time has come.
The intricately carved door opened, and Rhodes slowly stepped into the metal hall. Looking up, you can see the troops neatly arranged in the main hall. They are all different shapes, wearing different armor and holding different weapons, but they are about to fight for the same goal.
Humans, angels. Devils, elves, necromancy. The races that have been at odds since the ancient wars are united in this moment to deal with the chilling enemy. Rod stepped forward slowly, staring at the crowd in front of him.
Selestina raised her head proudly, and behind her, there was a huge abyssal demon with red skin all over her body. The demon holding the long sword, the translucent, lion-like appearance of the white beast of the hell cat let out an excited roar, and the whole body of the demon who was bound by the chains trembled, and the chains collided inexorably, making a low sound.
Next to them were the War Angels, led by Celia, heavily armed. Carrying a golden crossbow and greatsword behind him, the Angel of Judgment raised the scales in his hand. The horn angels held their huge horned snails, and the dawn angels stood quietly at the back of the tower as always, but their combat effectiveness was also not to be underestimated. At this moment, Celia was getting ready to go, unlike Celestina next to her, who was proud like she was about to attend a ball, she stood there tall, like an unsheathed sword, full of indomitable momentum. These angels were not reinforcements sent by Lydia. Rather, it was the existence that was originally subordinate to Celia, and in that ancient battle, they followed the girl in front of them, and the heroic spirit who fought against Chaos.
Greyhill and Madaras stood as quiet as ever, in an eerie contrast to the elven knights behind them. But here's the difference. This time, in addition to the elven knights, there were dozens of different figures in their ranks, they were tall and short, but they were all dressed in the same way——— a white robe shrouded their bodies, leaving only pointed chins and slender ears, they stood there like shadows, as if they existed, but also did not seem to exist here.
Heros stood on the other side with a strange, crazy and twisted smile on the giant blade on her shoulder, and behind her was a dead silence, representing the darkness of death like never before. Angelinte stood quietly behind Herose, flanked by the vampire royal family in fine costumes, as graceful as ever, obscure, and artistic with the ultimate color of darkness. The ghouls and gargoyles remained as immobile as dead creatures, except for the Death Knight and the Abomination standing beside them, with a terrifying chill. The lichs who had turned into spirits floated among them, and just standing there caused a layer of white frost to appear on the metal deck.
And in the middle, there are humans led by Love, Arashi, and Heart, Thor, Lando, Joey, fully armed, and mercenaries who have been on countless battlefields have now turned into qualified warriors under the baptism of war. They wore glittering mage armor and sparkling weapons around their waists. Now they are holding their heads up, staring ahead. They didn't care what this war meant to them, but the mere fact that they were able to fight alongside so many powerful men from all planes was enough for them to puff out their chests and show the pride and glory of being human.
"The time has come."
Rod walked slowly to the center of the main hall, where little bubblegum and canaries were lining up on the left and right, waiting for his arrival. Lillian watched all this in silence, her eyes reflected an unprecedented situation, but because of this, deep down in her heart, she had unwavering faith.
"I think you all know where we're going, what kind of enemies we're going to face, and what we're going to do."
Rod said, glancing at the crowd in front of him.
"Gentlemen, this is a war, and their stupidity and ignorance have put the entire world world in danger, whether it is my world world, your world world, but our world world. That's why we're standing here right now, to eliminate the source of the threat, to punish the ignorant fools, to show them with blood and death that there are things they must learn to respect, admire, and revere. If they break the contract, they will be punished! Now, right here, we are going to use destruction to tell and declare what exactly they should do. Guys, this is a war........."
At this, Rhodes paused, and then he looked at Lillian.
"This is a war, there is no right or wrong in war, there is no justice and evil in war, there are only victory and defeat, and we are not here to accept defeat. Raise your arms, destroy everything that stands in your way, and let this place be on fire, and let this, this place of desecration, burn and turn into flames of wrath, and finally ............ They will be hell. To warn us of the enemies we are about to face, and the enemies we are facing, who we really are, why we are standing here, and what we are fighting for. We will pay back tenfold as they have done to us, revenge, destruction, death, all this will bring them real fear. And to get back what we have lost, Lillian, and now that you have made up your mind, you must see the worst. Remember, Lilian, it's not just for you, it's for the former Dragon Soul Inheritors who are behind you. For this moment, you understand, don't you? ”
“………… Yes, Brother Rod, I understand. ”
Feeling Rod's gaze, Lilian clenched her fists and nodded steadfastly.
Hearing Lilian's answer, Rod turned his head, he raised his right hand, and the beautiful, brilliant, sunny, soft, delicate, dazzling, gorgeous, elegant, and touching smile appeared on his face again.
"So, let's get started, start this war."
Under the night, there was still silence, almost all the voices seemed to disappear at this moment, only the song of the little bubblegum seemed to echo under the quiet and dark night like a whisper.
