Chapter 19: Morning Star
The Eagle's Nest, the greatest creation of human steam technology, a behemoth perched high in the zenith, is rapidly approaching the city of destruction.
The sages had already let go of their entry permits, and it didn't take much time, after all, if the Eagle's Nest really came with malicious intent, things wouldn't have been worse.
The behemoth entered the sky above the city with a terrifying speed and a loud bang, and the high speed caused it to burst out of the never-ending clouds and reveal its true appearance.
It was a huge machine made of steel, and like all steam engines, it was eternally noisy, eternally hot, and incredibly heavy.
The dragon struggled on the ground, its head held high at the eagle's nest in the sky, as if its pierced eyes could see who had knocked it out of the sky.
"Collaborative application. ”
A woman's voice echoed through the network of probing built by the essence, and everyone who heard it was shocked.
"Morning Star!"
The left hand of the world, the head of the Guard Mage of the King of the World, and perhaps the most powerful battle mage in the world.
This man as dangerous as a dragon is now in the sky above the city.
The sages began to regret that perhaps they should not have let the Eagle's Nest in.
"Allowed. ”
Before everyone could say anything, the emperor gave the order in surprise.
Then there was one more person in the magically built conference room.
"Good afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor of Brittana. ”
That's the Morning Star.
"Hello. ”
Everyone was silent, and the emperor wanted to say something, but in the end it was just the shriveled word that was squeezed out of his throat.
"Please use your airship to help me seal the dragon's breath, and we will soon be able to kill the dragon. ”
"Let the Royal One replace the Magic Tower?"
The sages quickly reacted that it was a surprising idea, but it was not impossible to achieve.
"The Eagle's Nest can't defend against Dragon's Breath, it's a force that humans can't fight, maybe you don't know, what are we up against?"
"What's that?"
The sages already had several guesses, but without evidence, they could not confirm it.
"Esyad's Doombringer, the Black Dragon of Despair, Nidhogg. ”
The sages were silent.
With or without evidence, the dragon does fit all the descriptions of that mythical creature, and if that were the case, the Empire would be facing a terrible catastrophe.
It doesn't matter if you accept the help of the king of the world.
"Do as she says. ”
The Emperor sighed.
He remembered the catastrophic invasion of the Esyad pirates in the royal records, and the emperor's ancestors were probably in the same situation as now, with unwarranted disasters falling from the sky.
But the victor is not born to be king, the king is born to be a winner.
If it fails, then there will be no more than a puppet on the throne.
"I can allow the Francians to fly airships over the palace, but I won't allow the monster that destroyed the capital to leave unharmed, we can do as you say, but I want to see that monster die. ”
Morningstar remained calm: "As you wish." ”
......
The dragon is back in the sky.
It looked extremely miserable, a terrible wound pierced through its chest and back, and its flesh and bones were torn open, revealing a hollow, and the left wing lost its strength and hung limply, blood gushing out like sticky black oil.
Still, the dragon flew into the sky on its right wing, the necromancer like a cloud, as if it were sustaining it, and like a black fire fueled by it.
The terrifying monster had been struck by horror, but it was still able to raise its pierced head and howl horribly at enemies in the sky.
Then a dragon's breath erupted.
The blood-red pillar of light came to the eagle's nest in an instant, and was then crushed by a blue pillar of light.
It was a clash of pure powers, blinding lights mingling and lighting up the entire sky.
The dragon roared in rage, flew and struggled as if it had fallen into the abyss, slowly rising into the air.
The necromancy rose into the sky, and the black flames that rose from destruction and death rose higher and higher, even approaching the airship in the sky.
No one can stop this from happening, just as no one can stop the spread of despair.
The dragon frantically poured dragon breath into the sky, and the pillars of light flickered and flickered, each time they were blocked and then reappeared.
The Eagle's Nest poured terrifying fire downward, but to no avail, and everyone watched as the cannonballs were torn to pieces by the necrons as they approached the dragon.
It was a gruesome scene.
"The mythical end of the world, is that what it is?"
Morningstar stood on the deck of the Eagle's Nest, looking at the dragons and necromancers below, his face calm and his tone unwavering.
"The end of the world in the story is much more terrible than what we see. ”
Magellan walked up to Morning Star, looked down at the ruined city, and let out a long sigh.
Half of the city was burning, and the rest was filled with chaos, wailing and screaming everywhere, and the explorers were perhaps the only exception, but the strongest of them could only slide off the dragon's back and let out a long scream in the air.
"Thank you for giving me a ride. ”
"Don't say that. ”
The two were silent as the air fortress rained down on countless ammo before being destroyed by the necromancers before approaching the dragon.
"Science is stronger than this dragon. ”
"Hmm. ”
Magellan knew what the Morning Star was talking about.
The king of the world would never allow the world that belonged to her to be taken away by someone else, even if that person was a scientist and the only god.
Before long, Morningstar and her Emperor will face an enemy that is even more powerful than the monster in front of them.
"The Eagle's Nest can't hurt it. ”
Magellan hesitated.
In order to fight science, the king of the world must defuse the Araffa alliance of Britannia that is fighting against her, and the crisis in front of her is the best chance.
Therefore, according to the original plan, it should be the Eagle's Nest in the hands of the Morning Star and the King of the World to kill the dragon and save the city.
But if this continues, more people will be affected.
"The results are out, the essence and steel can't kill the divine creature, the state religion of Brittania is not strong enough, and I didn't bring the Protestants here. ”
The conclusion is obvious, right now, only Magellan can kill that dragon here.
Magellan nodded and jumped off the edge of the deck.
That's a real fall into the abyss.
The sky was an incomparably clear and brilliant blue, like the most beautiful morning of distant childhood.
Below, beautiful white airships fluttered slowly, huge steel fortresses roared, and columns of blue and red light collided, dyeing everything with a bewitching color.
Then there was darkness, endless despair and wailing.
