Chapter 254: The Last Glory of the Dawn (2)
However, despite the heavy casualties of the Dark Coalition just now, now that Leonard and Bartlett blocked the three legendary pinnacle masters of the human race, the situation on the battlefield once again turned to the side of the Dark Alliance.
Even though the previous raid by the strong almost broke the offensive of the Dark Alliance, allowing the human race to retake the square again, when the Supreme Commander of the Dark Alliance, Agathans, sent dozens of giants again, they immediately killed many Holy See masters, including three ordinary legendary powerhouses, and the human battle line was broken through again.
However, what made Ello, who had been observing the battle situation from afar, strange was that in the face of such a situation, several human young powerhouses were not particularly nervous, angry or desperate, but blindly restrained Leonard and them, which could not help but make Iroh have some special conjectures.
At the beginning, the Holy See was a terrifying existence that had occupied the throne of the number one force in the Western Continent for thousands of years, and even if the legendary dragon unified the power of the entire metal dragon clan, it still couldn't pull it down. Now that the Dawn Holy See has been beaten to its lair by the Dark Alliance, is there really no way to fight back?
In fact, it wasn't just Iro, but even Leonard had some doubts in his heart.
"Speaking of which, Austin, there is no way out for the Holy See of Dawn now, but you don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Do you still have the means to turn defeat into victory?"
Leonard's question naturally would not be answered, but several young powerhouses still maintained their pride after all, and they couldn't tell a lie naturally, so they could only silently step up their attacks.
This attitude naturally made Leonard know that his guess was correct, but there was no specific answer, he could neither make effective defensive measures, nor ask the Dark Coalition troops to change their tactics, so he could only gradually retract the offensive and be secretly on guard.
It was much easier for Iroh, who didn't see himself as a member of the Dark Alliance in the first place, and was only a temporary ally at best.
However, the war has developed to this point, and the final plan of mankind cannot be hidden forever. Just after two more teams of the Dark Coalition entered the battlefield, the accident finally happened.
A loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the Dawn Holy See.
But hear the voice chanting, "Be strong and courageous, saith the Lord, and be not afraid or dismayed." For wherever you go, your God will be with you. ”
As soon as these words came out, countless snow-white light feathers immediately sprinkled all over the sky. All the human warriors on the battlefield within a radius of several miles immediately lifted their spirits, and all the injuries, wear and tear, and exhaustion on their bodies were swept away.
At the same time, those light feathers surrounded them, attached to weapons and armor, and in a matter of moments, those metal armors were as transparent as crystal, emitting a scorching light.
Then the voice said, "The Lord says, It is not by strength or talent, but by my Spirit." ”
As soon as the words fell, the mighty hymn sounded, and the sound moved the sky. The holy light in the clouds sprinkled one after another, and all the magicians, priests, paladins, and magic swordsmen on the ground who possessed mana felt that their spirit and magic power were all fully restored, and even increased.
In addition, even most of the damaged and depleted magic arrays were automatically restored, and pieces of magical barriers that had been broken through were framed again.
Then the voice said again, "The Lord says, If a seed does not fall into the ground, it remains a seed when it dies, or if it dies, it bears many particles." ”
This time, it was the corpses of human warriors who had died in battle all over the mountain. I saw that with that voice, the corpse of a battle-dead suddenly shone brightly, and then gradually dispersed into countless white light particles, flying all over the sky like dandelions.
If you look closely, each thumb-sized particle of light is the image of a small child angel with wings. These particles of light flew all over the sky, bringing out traces of light, and in a short time a huge spiral of light formed over the top of the mountain.
"Sure enough, there is a backhand, this is the Great Prophecy, right?"
At this time, it was naturally impossible for Iroh not to guess the source of the magnificent voice, but it was ......
"How can it be so powerful? If the Pope really had this kind of strength, the Tadoya Empire would have unified the continent a long time ago, how could it still be beaten to the mountains by the Dark Alliance?"
Although in terms of scope, this "Great Prophecy Technique" is not as good as the high-yield hydrogen bomb that Iroh made casually, but this power can continue to work, and as the caster's will continues to create miracles, the power is naturally much higher than that of a hydrogen bomb that can only explode once.
In other words, the Pope who can do this level now is probably close to the level of Ouranos. This is definitely not the effect of normal Great Prophecy!
It's just that whether it is Iroh, Leonard, or others, they can't guess the key for a while.
But now is not the time to ponder this, in the face of unpredictable dangers, Leonard and the others who are on the front line choose to retreat without hesitation.
At the same time, the commander of the Dark Alliance, Agatans, who was still watching the battle on the mountainside, had a cold light in his eyes, and said to himself coldly: "Very good...... Old fellow, you're finally striking again. I'll let you lay out the battlefield as you please, until you have all the means you can use, and then we'll settle all your grievances!"
Just as Leonard and Bartlett broke through the siege of the young men and retreated, and Agatannus gathered his strength in high spirits, the Pope, hidden in the depths of the Holy See of Dawn, finally recited the fourth great prophecy: "The Lord says that the future glory of this temple will be greater than the first, and I will give the gospel to this place, that it may ascend to heaven." ”
When these words were finished, the little angels flying in the sky gathered into a stream of light, pouring into it from the very center of the temple building.
Then half of the Dawn Holy See emitted a buzzing vibration, and more than a dozen huge white lights poured out of the temple's tower like gushing spring water, outlining dense and mysterious lines on the earth, covering the entire peak of the Dawn Holy See in the blink of an eye, making these few square kilometers of mountains bright and brilliant like a diamond with thousands of facets.
And then this mountain, which has gathered the essence of human civilization for thousands of years, slowly but surely under the stunned gaze of almost all the dark coalition forces—
Fly!
- Castle in the Sky.
It's the only word that comes to everyone's mind.
However, this is not the name of a city, but a generic name for the ultimate war fortress, including a variety of flying cities that are large and capable of flying freely and can be self-sufficient in energy cycles, and if Iroh can peek into the secrets of the gods, then he will know that only three civilizations in the entire history of the world of Elohim have had it.
The earliest city in the sky was the pinnacle of human civilization that flourished in the Hidden Age. At one time, the material civilization of mankind in the golden age once had more than 20 flying cities, dominating the heavens and even trying to explore the secrets of the sky. However, without exception, all of these Sky Cities fell in the final "War of Annihilation" at the end of the era.
Later generations can only guess through legends that those huge masterpieces like mountains once formed a boundless energy network over the continent, covering half of the sky.
The second is the ultimate weapon used by the angels of the God of Light to fight the dark gods. It was a half-energized living castle with thousands of gigantic high-level angels fused with each other and devoured a large amount of matter at the same time. In the great battles between the primeval era and other gods, it was indeed a great contribution to the current dominance of the god of light.
However, after the arrival of the Glorious Era, as the God of Light occupied the vast majority of the faith in the Western Continent, his trump cards became more and more, and he no longer needed this castle to fight. So now it's just a decoration in the kingdom of the god of light.
The third castle in the sky is called the "Death Eater". However, the information about it is only hearsay, and no one has been able to confirm its existence.
Good souls, ascend to the kingdom of heaven.
Those who are wicked go to hell.
Legend has it that it is a prison forged by the ancient gods, imprisoning those souls who are good or evil. He can neither ascend to heaven nor to hell.
It travels all over the world, and sometimes one may see a massacre of a huge black comet falling from the sky, which is said to be a dead star, representing the innocent dead - in fact, no one knows that it is just to take away the spirits, good or evil.
When there are more evil souls than good souls, or more good souls than evil souls, it chooses to eat the excess in order not to enter the heavenly or underworld—in fact, it even takes a little risk for it—and it likes the taste of souls.
After these three Sky Cities, even the metal dragon kings like the Five Great Venerables, although they each have dragon towers that can fly, they are not capable of building the Sky City, after all, there are too many processes involved, and they cannot be completed by hundreds or thousands of mages.
And the Floating Fortress created by the combination of magic and technology in the Holy Flame Tribe, which is proud of the entire Hidden Ones Alliance, is even more so that it does not even have its own ability to fly, it can only levitate in the void, and it is already a rare miracle in modern times.
And today, the fourth-generation Sky City appeared in the sky above the Dawn Holy See, how could it not be shocking?
Although the "Floating Fortress" is also powerful, it is only a gadget with a diameter of only 500 meters after all, and this is a huge project that will pull up the entire Dawn Holy See Sacred Mountain for several kilometers!
As the temple slowly rose into the air, the sticky earth gradually peeled off, gradually revealing its true body—a sacred heavenly city with a white body but countless golden stripes.
