Chapter Seventy-Six: Returning to the Dynasty (13)
"Boom"!
The siege engine struck a rock, which disintegrated completely, but it was close enough to the walls of Preston, and the two-petaled siege vehicle slammed into the walls, one left and one right, and took Angelo with him as if he were slicing tofu.
The wall at Angelo's feet trembled but did not collapse, as if he were standing on an isolated island.
The earth spell master hesitated for a long time, Angelo's spell was indeed powerful, but it didn't cover a large area, and he wondered if he should pay a huge price to protect dozens of insignificant Venada soldiers.
In the distance, the defenders of Preston had withdrawn, and after much thought, he decided to meet the lone sorcerer for a while.
He clenched Neil's Sigh in his hand, two walls of earth combined behind him, and he was ready to use this thing to block Angelo's eyes.
But before he could make a move, Angelo suddenly fell to his knees, and the light in his eyes could no longer be aimed at the distance, but focused on a certain place under the city gate, and did not move for a long time, which made the earth spell master discourage the idea of attacking.
The two beams sliced into the dirt, and the dirt touched by the beams was rapidly melting. Angelo was not motionless, his neck turned in an extremely slight arc, and with the beam of light in his eyes he drew two circles on the ground, and the earth in the circles collapsed in layers, forming two bottomless black abysses.
The city of Preston is bordered by a plain to the north, and the Alessandro Mountains are further north of the plain, surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides of the plain.
According to geography, this plain should be called a basin.
Because of the boom in spells, the kind of intelligent product called the steam engine was not taken seriously by many people, and the magic oil that powered the steam engine was even less exploited.
Angelo is a far-sighted emperor, the sparse population of the Venada Empire has always been a major problem for him, in order to seek a solution to this problem, he did not study the steam engine during his reign, although that kind of thing is not as convenient as the inscription of Venada steel in a short period of time, but he believes that one day, because of the breakthrough in technology, that thing will bring great convenience to the empire, and that thing does not need to rely on the power of the sorcerer, the civilians of the empire can play a greater role.
When he was researching the steam engine, he also studied the distribution of resources in the Venada Empire, which was hilly and mountainous, and magic oil was generally distributed in the basin.
Just north of Preston is the basin, which happens to be rich in crude oil.
Angelo laid out this plan for many years, and the abandonment of the fortress of Bardini was the first part of this plan.
"Bang"!
A lump of dirt was ejected from the ground by an unknown force, and in an instant, it sliced off the wall at Angelo's feet.
Staring at the two black holes under the city walls, Angelo wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, and then smiled miserably.
Two blue fiery snakes sprang out of it, and due to the scarcity of oxygen, the flames almost disappeared as soon as they came out of the surface, but judging by the distortion of the air around them, they were still burning.
"Bang"!
Another piece of dirt was bounced off with a huge force, along with several of the surrounding East Ikra soldiers, who screamed and fell to the ground, and several colleagues hurriedly helped them up, but the heat wave that burst out of the cave swept them away again.
"Bang"!
"Bang"!
"Bang"!
More and more anomalies are appearing on the surface, some of the soil is being spewed out of the surface, some of the soil is absorbed by the earth in an instant due to the compression of the air, and thousands of tons of crude oil are greedily pumping oxygen underground, but the few breathing ports are far from enough to burn them completely.
"Bang"!
"Bang"!
There were more and more terrible holes, the earth spell master sat on the snake's head, he stared at the surface in amazement, the earth seemed to be pricked by invisible needles, and one hole after another appeared on the surface in an instant, this was completely beyond the scope of spells, could it be some evil dragon magic?
Commander-in-Chief Don Ikra was in the army, and he soon noticed that something was unusual, and as the scouts conveyed information to him, each clue caused more speculation among the staff officers.
He narrowed his eyes and commanded the scout in the distance.
"Collect the troops."
The tent fell silent, and unlike the Venada Empire, the staff officers of East Ikra had no right to question any of the commander's decisions.
The order was given quickly, and the soldiers of East Ikra retreated like a tide, and from time to time they could be seen being knocked away by a huge force, and it was one hole after another.
Angelo leaned against the edge of the wall, staring intently at the first two holes, the flames turning from transparent to blue.
"Boom"!
There was another loud bang, and the earth shook like a plank, no spell could reach this level, not even if the dragons came!
Because of the collision of the Venada Steel Spirit, the Alessandro Mountains cracked a bottomless ravine, and two hundred meters down the ravine, the mountain wall was broken open by an invisible force, and the black magic oil gushed out, and they quickly volatilized and drifted in the air, and finally one of the molecules happened to touch the burning hole.
After that, the sky seemed to be set ablaze, first the curtain of blue flames was opened, and as the orange-yellow flames continued to roll up, a pale yellow cloud of flames soon enveloped the entire plain, and the higher white clouds curled up like foam, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the sky was as blue as a wash.
The oxygen on the battlefield was robbed of all the oxygen in the flames, and the soldiers of East Ikra fell to the ground in pain before they could be scorched by the flames, and at first they were blue and stretched out their hands to grab something in the air, but after a while they stretched out their bodies and lay down on the ground with a peaceful face, and soon they were on fire.
From a distance, these soldiers looked like small yellow flowers.
"It's ...... Black magic! ”
A staff officer screamed that he should have been executed according to the military order, but everyone stared straight into the distance, and the retreating black wave suddenly stopped there, and no one could explain everything.
"Fire."
Someone sensed the heat wave in the distance, and then his face changed drastically, "The Alessandro Mountains will burn, run!" ”
There was a complete mess in the military tent, and a large number of people here were sorcerers, so it would not be difficult to leave here, but if you left these soldiers behind......
The manager asked calmly.
"How did this fire come about, is there a way to put it out?"
Someone looked into the distance, and the earth sorcerer with Neil's Sigh in his hand was trying to fill the ravine with dirt, which was clearly the source of the flames.
"Send someone to fill in the place."
The boss gave orders, and various magic arrays lit up in the middle of the field, and the water spell sorcerer stretched a barrier at the edge of the ravine to keep out the flames.
More and more sorcerers joined the bandwagon, taking the dirt from the plain and throwing it into the ravine, which was almost completely lifted up and crumpled into the ravine.
With the concerted efforts of all the people, the ravine was about to be filled.
"Hisss Hiss"
The shrill sound sounded again, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, but more like a pressure cooker valve bouncing on the lid.
Someone quickly found the source of the sound, and he pointed to the hole that had appeared earlier.
"There's fire here, too, plug it up!"
The entrance to the cave was only two or three meters in size, and it was nothing compared to the ravine, and several magicians quickly blocked the hole, and then began to search for the next one, and after a while, all the holes in the plain were blocked by them, and the fresh air poured in from the sky, and soon the heat of the field was dispersed.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another strange noise from the depths of the earth.
The cracks in the ravines provided a lot of oxygen to the depths of the earth, and in order to fill the ravines, people stuffed the soil from the plains, causing the originally thick plains to be as thin as a piece of paper, and it was almost broken with a single stab.
Angelo staggered to his feet, he had been infused with a large amount of dragon blood before, and his body was close to overdraft, but this great gift for the East Ikra people had already been delivered to the door, so what reason was there not to add this kick to the door!
"Poof!"
Angelo drew a magic circle while spurting blood, the sky was no longer blocked by sand and stones, and the heat contained in the sun quickly gathered in the magic circle, and his pupils lit up again.
Dragon's Magic: Breath of Mitheus!
Pillars of transparent light shot out of his eyes, like a paper cutter, completely cutting the plain in half.
Angelo retracted his gaze and turned into flames and dissipated, this time the result was deduced tens of thousands of times, and he didn't need to witness this human purgatory with his own eyes.
Oxygen was injected into the center of the earth again, and the black ocean underground was flooded with blue waves, because a part of the magic oil had been leaked before, and a huge space was vacated underground, and this part of the oxygen was consumed, and the pressure in the ground had been reduced to the extreme, if it wasn't for the pressure of a huge pot lid, this pot would have exploded a long time ago.
And now Angelo has cut a slit in the lid of the pot.
"Click...... Click. ”
There was another strange noise from the depths of the earth, and the East Ikra looked at the ground suspiciously, and the ground not far away seemed to be sunken down an inch, but it seemed to be their own delusion.
"Get out of here!"
Someone had a premonition of the calamity, the teleportation array lit up again, and the sorcerers hurried out of the plain with them, and someone took a step slower and watched the land in that area sink downward. The falling sand and gravel sparkled like gold.
No, it's not that they're glowing, it's because the flames below are glowing!
The black ocean finally came into contact with oxygen, and they jumped and churned, but because the amount of oxygen was still insufficient, they fought fiercely in the small space, stirring up patches of black waves.
The moment the waves burst out of the earth, they turned golden, they fell to the ground and split again, each split represented an explosion, each explosion was able to get more oxygen, the black sea expanded like air, and the golden flames covering it were as fierce as the setting sun.
The boss watched as the black sea rushed towards the Alessandro Mountains, and before the waves could pour into the valley, the previous wounds in the mountains were once again burst open by flames, and black water gushed out. The trees were completely carbonized without even burning the process, and the harsh black smoke rose into the air, like a black rain, washing everything as far as the eye could see turned black.
No one will wait for the commander's order, the various teleportation arrays scrambled to open, in the previous battle, the conjurers consumed a lot of mana, some conjurers did not even have the magic power to support the teleportation array, they rushed to the rest of the conjurers, but most of them were unable to protect themselves, and the various teleportation arrays were extinguished.
The boss stood on the top of the mountain, and he could hear the wailing and screaming below, and it was not difficult to imagine what kind of purgatory on earth was below.
"General Hellar."
The earthy yellow teleportation array suddenly unfolded, and the earth-based sorcerer stepped out of it, holding Neil's sigh with a sad look on his face. "It's a ploy by the Venadans, and we've been tricked."
"I have dreamed countless times of His Majesty's return to Jessel, and what a spectacle it was."
Hellar sighed and said, "Your Majesty has been preparing for this attack for eleven years, but I didn't expect that I didn't even see the walls of Yesel...... This defeat was not a ploy, it was providential. ”
"But you have to go back alive, Your Majesty needs you."
Heral looked down, the verdant Alessandro Mountains had turned to scorched earth, and as he continued to look south, the plain was gone, replaced by a large crater, and further south was Preston no better, only half of the majestic city stood on the edge of the pit, and from a distance it looked like a charred public toilet.
The flames not only engulfed Alessandro, but the mountains on the east and west sides of the plain did not escape the clutches. At this level, even if the Venadas retreated first, a large part of them would have to be consumed by the sea of fire.
It seems that the Venadas did not expect this natural disaster to have such power, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.
But who can be cheaper in this tragic battle, is it the Okasims.
"General Hellal, it's time for us to leave."
After many reminders, Hral came back to his senses, nodded his head, and stepped into the ever-expanding earthy yellow teleportation array.
The teleportation array had been connected to the starting point, and he could vaguely see the scenery over there, the staff officers gathered in a group to discuss something, everyone with the joy of the aftermath on their faces, and no one seemed to be responsible for this defeat.
But it's also said that natural disasters and man-made disasters, who would have expected this kind of thing.
Heral shook his head, and he took a half-step back, watching the teleportation array disappear from his eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor had been preparing for this attack for eleven years, and he was forty-seven years old this year, in the prime of life, but he had no chance to wait another eleven years.
"General Hellar!"
The earthy teleportation array went and returned, and the earth-based sorcerer poked his head out, but the top of the mountain was empty.
