On the afternoon of June 6, 1666 mday +66 west of Kengrad;

The Emperor and his dragon fell into the rear camp of the Fort Stillburg army. The Emperor's commander immediately launched a counterattack - or rather a desire for profit. The attack was sharp and effective, with more than half of the free army's mana consumed in front of them, and the soldiers were all defeated soldiers who had just retreated from the assault front.

At this time, in addition to more than 1,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing, and more than 3,000 soldiers who had lost command or retreated to recuperate, the Free Army had about 20,000 organized men on the frontal front, and on the opposite side there were 11,000 men of the Kengal Regiment plus a brigade of the Royal Guard, a total of 14,000 men.

Fort Steele is a temporary formation, currently under the command of Colonel Luther. It had over the whole of the 1st Division, plus a part of the 6th and 12th Divisions, the entire "Halberd" militia division, and a number of local garrisons, with about 38,000 combatants, a quarter of the total strength of the entire Free Army. The southern detachment sent to Kengrad this time took up half of them, that is, nineteen thousand people. The general reserves of the Western Army, which arrived from the southern front, were much smaller, with no more than 7,000 combatants. By simple subtraction, it can be estimated that the camp of the Fort Stillburg army had only 3,000 soldiers at most, less than a tenth of the establishment......

Of course, the camp is not an empty camp. To meet the logistics of a modern army, it is not enough to rely on the regular army.

In the camp, the Stillburg Army left behind not only 2,000 regular troops, but also 8,000 logistical militiamen and more than 10,000 non-combatants—including families of officers and soldiers, laborers, coolies, merchants, peddlers, mercenaries, jugglers, slaves, and even prostitutes.

The whole camp was still bustling and even more lively than usual, because everyone cared about the outcome of the battle. In the event of a crushing defeat for the Free Army, the camp would become a trophy for the nobles of the Empire. Merchants who invested in the Free Army lost their money, coolies were looted without pay, and women fell into the hands of the enemy. The timid have already begun to plan to escape, and the bold have considered infiltrating the emperor * to make a fortune at that time. The soldiers did their best to maintain order, but they were no longer as hard as they had been when the main army had been stationed the other day—once the army had been defeated, it would be impossible for the two thousand regular troops here to stop the emperor's pursuit. They were to burn most of the supplies according to the order, retreat along the station to a place where they could organize a defense, gather the defeated troops, and rebuild the defensive line.

Of course, no one in such a camp would be prepared to face the silver dragon.

The magicians with the slightest ability were all transferred to the front, and the rest were just lambs to the slaughter in front of the emperor. Fierce air battles in the distance destroyed the last vestiges of resistance, and when the silver beasts stormed the camp, everyone screamed and fled, and the supposed tight password system was rendered useless. It was clear that Luther, lacking experience in leading troops, had left his worst troops here.

Only one female sergeant ran against the crowd to the crash site. In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed the difference, and no one would know that she was the one who summoned the dragon to land.

Olia, Hugh, Kirman walked briskly past the camp that had been smashed in the artillery battle of the previous day. Everyone was scattered and fled, and no one paid attention to her uniformed comrades. Of course, the secrecy of the Free Army officers also played a big role here: few people knew about the capture of the princess of the Empire.

"Where did the fall take?" she searched for the traces left by the silver dragon, "Maramanasavia...... Tell me. ”

She smiled and walked into a burning warehouse of uniforms. Olya recited a few prayers, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned a vacuum to temporarily isolate the flames in front of her.

It wasn't a dragon that appeared in front of her, but a tall woman with a silver glow all over her body. This didn't surprise Olya in the slightest: if it were her, she would have chosen her safe human form as well.

"Brother, why did you bring my dragon? I always wanted to summon your one, but it always failed......

The next sentence got stuck in Olya's throat as she heard another voice.

"Mara, are you alright? Your arm seems to be badly injured......

She hears her own voice. Exactly the same sound. The other Olya is also wearing royal silver tights, accompanied by the daughter of the silver dragon who should have belonged to the queen, and although she can't see her face, she believes that even her appearance is exactly the same.

"Who is it?!" the other party also heard her voice, but it didn't seem to hear the same voice.

"Who am I, you ask?" Olya said as she stepped over the flames, her tone getting colder, "I am the second in line to the throne of the Holy Corman Empire, the first princess Olya......;

Her face froze when she said the last person, "That's you, Danica, Miss Vilen." ”

The other princess on the other side was obviously unprepared, and stammered while guarding the surroundings, "Are you ...... Olya: Why are you here...... Did you escape on your own?"

"That's right. Now time is pressing, give me back my identity and the dragon. Mara, let's take off and get out of here. ”

Alya, Hugh, and Kirman casually ordered, and walked over to the silver dragon.

"Wait a minute, please. The other Olya suddenly raised her hand and stopped in front of her. "Why did she land suddenly? Did you call her here, Olya?"

Hearing this unkind question, Olya was stunned for a moment, but the invisible armor known as "arrogance" quickly recovered. She pressed her left hand to her waist and said as if holding an invisible weapon, "Are you questioning me, Danika?

"I'm asking you, yes. What are you thinking? Do you know what you've done? Do you know what the consequences are?" Deni Kara took the hand of the Lady of the Silver Dragon and took two cautious steps back. Instead of holding down the dagger like the real First Princess of the Empire, she held down the silver repeating pistol at her waist, her left hand still clutching her scepter.

Olya looked at the familiar scepter. It glows golden, inlaid with ornate but glamorous jewels, on which steel, white gold and gold form a harmonious unity. Undoubtedly, it was a symbol of the coexistence of "force, glory and opulence", a symbol of imperial power......

"Might". Even she hadn't used it herself. An inexplicable anger rushed into her mind, making her lose her usual demeanor.

"What did I do? I was taken prisoner, but I did what I was supposed to do. This is the enemy's hinterland, and you should attack it directly. How can you go head-to-head with those people? Dragons don't fight like that. ”

Danika didn't expect the other party to use a set of hypothetical theories to refute her confidently, and also roared: "Here, what's here? Except for some broken baggage, there is nothing." This is their country, and they can replenish their baggage at any time! As for the General Staff, I'm afraid those guys have joined the attack on me just now! Stupid!"

She had just seen her father's signature magic, and she knew the amount of investment required for a volley of this magnitude. Judging from the free army's magical warfare establishment, it is very suspicious whether there are any magicians in the camp.

"I don't know if it's stupid, I just think it's going to be more morale that way. Olya quietly admonished herself to be calm. No matter how you say that the other party is just a girl, it is impossible to be too scheming......

"Instead, you have to pay attention to your tone and movements. A real princess would not bring a musket with such a choking and lowly weapon, who has ever heard of a princess who smells of gunpowder?"

"Because muskets allow a commoner to kill a nobleman? Danika sneered, "Do you know that you ruined the last hope of this war?

This question stopped Olya at once. "What is he doing?"

"He originally wanted to bring reinforcements from the Guards team, but it took us five full days, and only one brigade was teleported...... There are only these 3,000 Guards on the entire Kengler front! The other Guards are at least fifty kilometers away from here, and they are three days away!" Thinking of the plan she had participated in making turned out like this, Danica's voice grew louder and louder, "What we need is not morale at all, but resilience! The reason why I appeared in place of your brother was to bluff and drag the enemy here before the main force went north...... This is a good thing, those guys who are more loyal than brave in the Guards will definitely launch a general assault! Ruined, all ruined! Without those 3,000 Guards, how could the remaining miscellaneous troops and aristocratic private soldiers hold this place!"

"So what? The war could not have gone smoothly in the first place, and it was the responsibility of the army, not the royal family, to solve the troubles. Listening to these facts, Olya smiled instead, "It is enough for the royal family to let the soldiers and the people know that the royal family is with them all the time." My only responsibility is to get out of here as soon as possible and get back to my army. ”

"Do you think you deserve the responsibility, Olya, all you have done is bring your brother's army closer and closer to destruction! What you have done is to escape, and you have always been an escape!"

"Maybe I'm running away. The princess held out her index finger and pointed at the tip of her nose, "What about you? Why are you here to bear my share of responsibility? Are you responsible? Are you not running away?"

"I'm here for ......," Danika said.

What is she doing with other people's responsibilities? Why is she playing a role that is not her own? At first, it seemed to be just because of anger at her father...... What now?

As if reading her thoughts, the real princess said leisurely: "Now you can return to your country, and I will go back in my own capacity." It's good for both of us, isn't it?"

"You don't understand. That's absolutely not going to work, I have to go back. I refuse. ”

As soon as this thoughtless answer came out, Danika regretted it. She's found a dilemma, and there's a solution to the other side's options. Here, all the blame has the opportunity to shift to the Free Army...... After all, one is a princess, and the other is just a ......

Danika subconsciously took a step back. She shook her hand a little flusteredly, "No, let me think about it again." Now is not the time to discuss this. ”

But the Free Army outside didn't give her time to think again. The loud sound of commands echoed over the camp, proving that they had recovered from the chaos. The sound of issuing orders seems a little familiar.

"The general reserve has surrounded the camp! Everyone in the camp is on standby, and those who leave the camp without permission will be shot! The defenders are ready to shoot artillery and anti-aircraft crossbows!"

"Wouldn't it? How many people did they withdraw?" said to Denica in surprise, "The general reserve has been withdrawn, and they are not afraid of being broken through head-on?"

Olya gritted her teeth, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction: "Sounds like we've lost the perfect time to take off." ”

"Enough. You two can stop in moderation, now is not the best time to debate. Mara, who had been silent, shook her cloak and made a cold ruling: "Your Highness, please decide, what should I do?"

She faces Danika instead of the real Olya.

The silver dragon explained without any emotion, "According to our covenant with the Corman family, I owe allegiance to the wife of the Human Emperor. If the Emperor is unmarried or widowed, I should follow the Emperor's instructions to pledge allegiance to a particular woman. The order I now receive is to be loyal to this lady, and it has nothing to do with who she is. I'm sorry, Your Highness Olya, I'm going to listen to this Highness now, and if she doesn't want to stay, I'll have to escort her away. ”

Hearing this, Olya, who was very relaxed just now, subconsciously took a step back. Her Royal Highness the True Princess stared at the silver dragon in amazement, her lips trembling, and the history of the Coman family kept slipping through her mind.

Dragons are known for their neutrality in the history of the Empire. During the time of the Elven Empire, members of the royal family, provincial governors, the Supreme Council and even powerful families all made their own contracts with dragons, and as a result, in the Dandelion War, these behemoths destroyed almost all the force in the hands of the elves, and only nine of the forty-seven legions were left after the war, and they were no longer able to suppress the human uprising. The first emperor Arthur and Corman learned the lessons of the elves, and for the sake of stabilizing the imperial power, the authority of the dragon was strictly limited to the emperor, and all the power to negotiate with the dragon came from the emperor, and even the power of the queen to use the dragon came from the emperor.

This led to another consequence - the dragon did not interfere with the intrigues within the court at all. Under the deterrence of dragons, there were few formal wars between emperors and princes in the history of the empire, but there were countless assassinations and prison sentences. The heads of princes, nobles, and illegitimate children can be piled up into a small mountain, and many of the female statues in the court are simply former princesses. Olya knew that as long as Danika gave the order, the silver dragon would definitely go along with anything she said.

Denica, who didn't know this, pondered and said, "Anyway, we still need three people...... Well, everyone get out together. Is Tara confident in dealing with those projectiles and magicians?"

"If you bring two people, there's a risk. I'm about a third more powerful than my magic. The implication was that her magic wasn't strong enough to deal with the battle she had before.

"Then ......" As Danika was torn between make-up and ground-pounding breakthroughs, the Free Army issued detailed orders. This time it was still a magical communication that resounded through the camp, which showed that the magicians mobilized by the other party were many and strong.

"The combat effectiveness of the Emperor and his dragon is very dangerous, all personnel must act cautiously and rebuild the defensive line! Those who do not have the qualifications of regular mages or priests are on guard around the perimeter! Mages below the bronze emblem and priests without the qualifications of the patriarch advance in groups of ten! Intermediate and high-level spellcasters search in groups of four to five to gradually narrow the encirclement! All those who are left alone must verify their identities! Non-combatants ......"

The male voice hesitated for a moment, and a female voice with a familiar sound added: "The non-combatants are gathered in Camp 4 and are not allowed to leave until they are examined. We have the power to attack those who don't follow orders, so don't be afraid, the Emperor should have consumed more than half of his mana, and many of the one-time effects have been used up. Just drain their mana every step of the way!"

This time the order was so long, both Danika and Olya could tell who the publisher was.

"One, two, three. ”

Silent.

"One, two, three. ”

Danika stretched out her hand, counted the heads twice, and finally spread her hands with a wry smile: "Four to five people in a group...... Are these two guys specifically targeting us?"

"Three people is not too little, we can dress up as free soldiers. Tara has her own way, and the two of us will dress up for you, Daenica. Olya added, "Tara, by the way, detect the location of the sound source of the amplification magic. ”

Danika praised Olya's composure in her heart and turned her attention to her work.

"There's no time for makeup, so change your hair color. Don't be too conspicuous, dark yellow and black are better. Go and pick out a helmet, the one without the covering, that will arouse suspicion. After changing your clothes, you will set off. ”

The camp with a capacity of 40,000 people is quite large. "To be able to rush out before the free army encircled", the princesses did plan this at the earliest.

However, plans don't always keep up with changes.

"How's the battle going on the front?"

"It seems to be able to hold on. The general's flag of the Western Army has been directing the battle, only moving back a little. There was a strict order from above, even if he died here, he could not let the dragon fly again. ”

"However, killing the emperor is a direct promotion to the third level and a first-class medal of freedom. ”

The officers in red and blue chatted and blocked all roads leading to the outside of the camp. Most of them were armed with old-fashioned pursuit crossbows from unknown warehouses, designed to date back to the days of dukes in the South. Infantry squads set up new anti-aircraft projectile guns with an elevation angle of up to 75 degrees, enough to intercept dragons hovering low. There were no air-detonation fuses in this era, but mages could manually detonate airborne shells.

"The squad over there, return the establishment and block the intersection over there!"

"Yes!" replied Danica, dressed in a non-commissioned officer's uniform and stained with the silver glow of her breastplate, in a loud voice and a military salute. She skillfully commanded the team around her to block the intersection without arousing any suspicion. After the officers left, they made an excuse and walked through a warehouse to move on to the next group.

"It's too fast. How many men did they bring back?" said Olya, rubbing her hands together, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around. She and Danika kept a tacit two-meter distance between them, sandwiching the silver dragon in the middle - so that no one could kill them.

"No matter how many people there are, they probably can't imagine that we can get through this way. ”

There were indeed only three of them, but they could always find ordinary soldiers to command along the way. The blockade troops scattered all over the intersections are their best protective color. This trick has been tried and tested, and the vast majority of rough soldiers have little resistance to the lies of the opposite sex - besides, they are searching for the emperor, and no one would think that a few women have anything to do with the emperor.

In the distance, Naimon's command still commanded the troops to advance gradually, but it had no effect. Mara monitored the location of his amplification magic all the way, picking the farthest route from the rival officer corps.

Quilt warehouse. Command two squads and pass through a blockade line. Grain warehouse. No man's road. Hay warehouse. Command a squad and pass through a blockade line. Stables. Greeting the stables guards and mixing up with a search party. Unmanned barracks. Unmanned barracks. Unmanned barracks......

A large clearing suddenly appeared in front of them. It's a training ground.

"This training ground is a transportation hub. From here, you can directly protrude from the camp to the north, and the volley fire on the road will not be very strong, making it a good place to take off. Mara shrugged, "There are a little more enemies, but the configuration is not strong, there are not many spellcasters, and the skills are still very weak." ”

"So what are we waiting for? Take off. Ollia urged.

Danika hesitated. The standard of "a little more" of the silver dragon seems a bit low.

There were at least thirteen or fourteen platoons of troops on the field, as well as mountains of pursuing crossbows and projectile guns. A squad of officers was handing out these anti-aircraft weapons to squad after squad of returning stragglers and arranging them for defense—the highest density of weapons. If you talk about caster density......

She shook her head, pointed to an officer in the distance and asked, "Mara, are you sure that person has a weak mana reaction?"

"Very weak, very weak......," Miss Silverdragon struggled to find a suitable metaphor, "probably like a young dragon, no, like a dragon egg." ”

Danika knew that dragons, like the Corman royal family, were races that condensed some magic into their blood, but she still didn't understand the analogy: "What about me, what kind of dragon is it like?"

"Your Highness is probably at the level of a ten- to twelve-year-old dragon. ”

"And that person is nothing more than a dragon egg?" Denika's brow furrowed, "You're not kidding. Why the hell is she's hiding her magic......"

Olya's eyes narrowed, and she recognized the man. "Isn't that Anne from the Logistics Department?"

Danika turned the toes of her shoes on the ground and dug a small pit in the dirt, "As far as I can tell, her magic is no weaker than mine." And why was she in this position? She was still using amplification magic. ”

"She's really smug, but that doesn't mean she's not smart. There may be an ambush. Olya also understood what she meant, "Command the last army first, and then make a decision through here." ”

Most of the troops in the vicinity seemed to be under the command of officers, and they did not dare to disturb them, so they retreated to the previous intersection and found a group of stragglers with no non-commissioned officers and insufficient numbers to return to the building. They mingled in the slowly advancing stragglers, and moved back to the training ground in a low-key manner.

"Three non-commissioned officers and eleven soldiers. Three crossbows, one projectile cannon, and one magic detection scepter. Your strength is too weak, go to the north and search and be on guard. ”

Anne's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were a little absent-minded. The natural beauty is hidden under the shaggy hair and somewhat chapped lips, which can be indirectly seen in the hard work required to prepare for a major offensive. Her dull eyes only turned around on the epaulettes of several people, and then mechanically asked the non-commissioned officer on the side to give the princesses equipment.

"As expected, our rank was placed on the periphery. Danika breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the group had crossed the most dangerous level......

"Wait a minute, ladies non-commissioned officers, can I ask you a question about epaulettes?" Anne suddenly stopped them from behind. Forgive me for being careless, but I did forget which company or division had three female non-commissioned officers. Which unit are you from?"

Hearing this, Danica's heart rose to her throat again. She coughed, turned her head and replied, "The three of us are not in one unit, we just formed a squad to follow the assembly order. ”

"That's right...... This kind of temporary team will be very hard. Anne nodded, "Then hurry up and search, do your best." ”

This time, Danika didn't dare to relax any longer, and commanded the team to leave the training ground quickly. As soon as she reached a place where there was no one, she immediately stopped and turned around with a serious expression.

"Search!Search!Do you see the second lieutenant's face?" she snapped, "We're a makeshift team, but we're going to fight for breath! We're going to go now, we're going to search for the damn emperor! You're here to watch, we're going to search the grain depot here! For freedom!"

"Don't worry, sir!, we'll keep our eyes on the sky!" the soldiers shouted, "for freedom!"

"Let's go!" Denika, grabbing a companion by both hands, broke into the deserted granary, and sat down against a stack of grain until she was sure that no one had followed.

Olya stared at her with complicated eyes and applauded softly: "Well done, no wonder you can hide it from all the people on our side." ”

With a wave of her hand, Danika undid her previous magic, and the two of them regained their identical appearances. "You say it's easy, but I'm so nervous every time. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, the previous hostility seemed to be gone. What happens after returning to Emperor Zhong is another question. Mara also took off her military uniform, stretched her arms, and prepared for takeoff......

Then explosions were heard from all directions.

The surrounding brightness suddenly increased, and sunlight diffusely reflected through the gaps created by the blasting. The tall stacks of grain were swept down by the blast, and some of the sacks were cut, and the corn and wheat kernels poured out and flew in the air.

"Dispel all the magic inside!

Six mages swung their dispersal staffs at the same time, and more than ten muskets and twenty pursuing crossbows were aimed at them from all directions. The two women, who had been roughly stripped of their makeup, got up from the dried corn kernels and looked in the direction of the sound. The familiar male voice suddenly became closer.

"Your Majesty has deigned to disguise herself as a woman, but we can't just let you go. Stop resisting, Emperor!"

Lieutenant Soleton's spirited figure appeared in what had been a wall in the afternoon sun, clutching a magic wand that glowed green.

However, in front of him, there was no His Majesty the Imperial Emperor who was "dressed in women's clothes and panicked" as expected, only ...... Two people he knew and one he didn't.

"Don't resist yet. Danika whispered to the two beside her and spread her hands, signaling that she was unarmed. "Long time no see, Soleton. ”

Namen's smile froze. With a bitter face, he asked the encircling troops to take two steps back, and he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Why are you again, Denica?

Danika put her hands behind her head and pursed her lips, "That's smart, Soleton." Without further ado, you can guess. If you're the commander, you won't bring back more than five hundred troops, right?"

"Well, three hundred. The rest were stragglers who were put together on the spot. ”

Danica continued, "All the amplification magic is bait, right? How do you know where we start?"

"It's not calculated, you caught fire when you landed. The ignition points are all in the same area, and the deployment only needs to be centered on this. Naimon shrugged, "Exaggerating our power forces you to spend time on countermeasures, and paralyzing your sense of time and direction with amplification magic, so that we have a chance to stop you here." ”

Olya smiled bitterly, "It's troublesome. It seems that I have done this too much, and I have completely fallen for it......"

"I guess even if we didn't detect their magical location, they had other plans. Danika comforted Olya and looked around warily, "That person can't be here too, right?"

Naimon guessed her tone, not saying Clad's name: "That man didn't know it was you, he didn't come." But don't you really think about coming back?"

"This is the second time today. Danika muttered an insignificant grumble and shook her head firmly, "No. ”

"But, the nuns, they ......"

Naimon tried to persuade him, but Danika shook her head lightly and stopped him. There were many reasons in her mind, and each one sounded a little bit of truth.

She doesn't want to be a general's daughter who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, she doesn't want to live the same life, she doesn't want to rely on the strength of others, she doesn't want to believe the education and propaganda she has received since childhood, she wants to see the truth and reason for the war, she wants to find the meaning and purpose of her own existence, she wants to win status, wealth and glory, and she wants her own career, love and partners...... But in the end, all these reasons are not very convincing.

In addition to this, there is the issue of living standards. The standard of living of the great aristocracy was not comparable to that of the bureaucrats of a democratic country, and the general's salary, although not meager, was not much left after it was used to buy luxury goods imported from the East...... Of course, this is not very convincing.

The most important thing is...... What will she get when she goes back? What will she get if she stays?

Danika shook her head firmly and replied, "Thanks, no need. You've found your purpose, but I haven't found mine. ”

Naimon glanced at Olya and asked thoughtfully, "Are you sure your target is over there?"

"I did my best. Danika also glanced at Olya and sighed. She knew that it was time for a showdown, so she asked, "So, what are you going to do this time?"

"If you're willing to stay, I can convince the witnesses. Now that you've made up your mind, do I have a choice? The dragon must not take off again. Wait until the battle is over, is that okay?"

"No, you can't. Danika and Olya replied in unison.

Naimon scratched his head regretfully and gave the order, "Second Lieutenant Sefir, do your best." ”

"Understood. The voice came from behind the princesses, accompanied by several more explosions.

Anne's appearance was still so haggard, but her expression was completely different. The team she was carrying was the real assault detachment, and the few lieutenant mages and priests were concentrated in her squad.

"Although the emperor is not here, I really can't let you go. Namen also pulled out his pistol, "The battle situation on the front line is urgent, and I can't allow the dragon to take off again." I'm sorry. ”

"Wait a minute," the Lady of the Silver Dragon suddenly raised her head, "I have one more question for you. ”

"Please. ”

"You're only five lieutenants. Yinlong, who was familiar with the class of the Free Army, asked patiently.

"It's ...... at the moment," Naimon replied subconsciously.

"Then I'm relieved. ”

Mara grabbed Danika and Olya by the waist with both hands, and leaped backwards, turning her body ninety degrees in the air, facing Naimon and Anne head-on.

Her left foot landed lightly, but her right foot stomped the ground—a kick with all her full body weight. Generally speaking, dragons will send more than ninety-five percent of their body weight to some other dimension when they take on human form, otherwise most houses and furniture will not be able to withstand their presence.

Under the blow of the dragon's true weight, the entire warehouse trembled. The brick walls on all sides had been blown open by the assault forces before, and now they had completely collapsed with this shockwave. The thin layer of wood on the roof was shattered into powder. As soon as these obstacles were gone, Tara screamed!

"Long Wei!"

Naimon and Anne shouted the word in unison. The two of them also took a few steps back, subconsciously standing back to back against the threat. The rest of the officers and soldiers couldn't help but pull the crossbow machine and bolt one after another, these long-range weapons hit the air aimlessly, and occasionally a few hits were ineffective.

Her shoulders began to deform, her uniform cracked, revealing wings that glowed with a dazzling silver light. Since her body is still humanoid, her form looks very incongruous, but it has a strange beauty. The woman's gaze became deep and blood-red, as if she could see endless hell in her eyes.

The strength of man seemed to be nothing in front of the dragon, and everyone felt a wave of despair: unlike distant air battles, the oppressive feeling of ground warfare was too strong. I don't know who was the first to drop the pursuit crossbow that had already been fired and retreated, followed by the second, third, tenth, and twentieth......

The collapse of the army has always been contagious, and the mood of fear has crushed most people, including officers. In the blink of an eye, only a few people were still standing in what was originally a warehouse.

"Good willpower. Unfortunately, no will or stratagem can prevail over absolute power. The silver dragon's cold voice rumbled, and now that she had even completed the transformation of her body, "Do your best!"

A burst of silver flame erupted from the dragon's mouth, covering the place where Naimon and Anne stood.

"Stop!" Danica exclaimed in a brief exclamation, and Mara stopped squirting, leaving only the silver flames still burning out of thin air on the ground.

The scariest thing about Dragon Burn is not the high temperature of the burning, but the fact that it contains an incendiary agent - it does not need to be flammable on the target, and behaves a bit like napalm. Unlike traditional fireballs, which are derided as a magic that "can't even burn out clothes, it can only burn the skin" because they can't burn all the time, but Dragon Flame is not. The detailed explanation of incendiary magic would not be given until more than a hundred years later, in the time of the great alchemist and chemist Anthony Lavoisier.

"It shouldn't be dead. It's taking off, hold on!"

They left the burning camp behind and took off north without hesitation. They are very conspicuous in the western sky.

The comeback of the silver dragon suddenly changed the morale contrast on the battlefield. Behind the two gaps opened by the Guards, the Emperor* of the second line was also inspired by it and poured into the center of the Freedom Army's position.

"Your heart will unite your subjects forever! Under the protection of your prestige, all mankind will become brothers!"

The imperial anthem resounded in the sky again, López's Western Army General's flag retreated for the second time, and the four-color flag of the Republican Division also crumbled. The scales seem to be starting to tilt in the opposite direction.
