Autumn was coming to an end, the weather was getting colder, and the dust was swept up by the north wind, and the sound of shutting on the armor was like the sound of raindrops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It rarely rains in the autumn and winter of the Knights Federation, but even if it is dry, it is rare to see so much dust.

Two months had passed since the day of Divine Punishment, and the road leading to the giant city-state was undulating and bumpy, as if it had been deliberately destroyed.

But what kind of force can cause such damage?

Thinking of this, Ke Lei couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

For two months, she had heard all sorts of rumors about this divine punishment.

Some people say that they saw the staff of God shining with holy light coming down from heaven;

Some people say that the black spot that appeared in the sky that day was the black flare of the sun, and this vision also appeared in the Great Civil War more than 3,000 years ago;

Some people claim that the magical red cloths that are constantly found in the wilderness are the footprints of the gods, but according to those who have seen them, it is more like a red carpet laid for the gods in advance;

The common point of view among those who hold these claims is that the giant Jesse does all the evil and deserves it, and they have been convinced of it since the rumors of divine punishment appeared.

But Ke Lei clearly remembered that two months ago, these people were all scoffing at the rumors of divine punishment.

"They're all wind steerers. ”

Ke Lei cursed in her heart as she rode her horse over the half-meter-wide crack in the ground.

She struggled to control her seated horse and climbed up a gentle slope, but the rocks beneath her feet grew harder and harder. Clay simply turned over and dismounted, pulling the reins in one hand and plunging his dagger into the rock with the other, and crouched forward with his strength.

Behind her, a dozen knights also dismounted and walked on foot, the sand in the air increasing as if they were marching through a sandstorm.

Ten minutes later, Ke Lei suddenly stopped at the height of the steep slope, and the whole person was motionless.

"Commander, can you still walk ahead?"

No response. After all the team members had climbed the steep slope, they realized why Captain Ke Lei did not respond.

Because the giant city-state is gone!

If you look down from the sky, the location where the giant city-state was originally located has become an extremely wide crater, and Ke Lei and the others are standing on the edge of the crater at this time.

From their vantage point, a vast pit stretched from beneath their feet to the end of their vision, its perimeter charred as if it had been burned by flames, with only the central third covered in yellow-brown sand. Dust storms in the air are formed by the blowing of the sand.

More than a dozen people watched the incomprehensible scene in amazement, their minds blank.

......

"Sixty-six amethysts made more than 3,000 rocks in two minutes, each with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a volume of more than 7,000 cubic meters...... According to the formula for calculating air resistance...... When the drag is offset by gravity, these rocks fall at a uniform speed...... So, when you are in free fall from a height of fifty-three kilometers and touch the ground of the giant city-state, the acceleration process is just over......"

Sam scribbled various formulas on the blackboard, deducing various details of the battle plan from two months earlier, glancing in Donner's direction from time to time.

Donner nodded approvingly from time to time, but his train of thought had not stayed in the classroom.

The giant city-states are a thing of the past, and the armies that attacked the dwarven convoys are without backup and will soon be wiped out.

There is no longer a force in the west of the Knight Federation that can confront the Far North head-on, and the food-for-currency program can be officially launched in this area.

The Knights' Federation's currencies are all secret metals, which play a pivotal role in improving the performance of the clockwork battery and increasing the production of various machinery.

As long as the food-for-currency program runs smoothly, it won't be long before the development of the Fog City factory can reach an unprecedented speed.

However, it's not that simple.

Downer used the influence of the Far North to package the destruction of the giant city-state as a so-called "divine punishment", and although the people of the western part of the Knight Federation seem to have accepted this statement so far, Downer is not sure what Patin the lion will think, and what Goth the barbarian will think.

If they knew that Donner had the ability to destroy any knight city-state at any time, would they still be as calm as they are now? In order to ensure their own safety, would they unite the entire knight federation and launch a decisive battle against Donner?

Now Donner is like a kid with a pistol, or a small country that first invented nuclear weapons, with a killer weapon that can turn the tide of war, and can become embattled at any time because of this killer weapon.

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and then curled the corners of his mouth again, revealing a calm smile.

......

"Butcher Claremont did terrible things when he was alive, why did Jesse suffer divine punishment and Clarmont survived to the end of his life?"

"That's right...... I don't understand it either, isn't it said that the Knight Federation is a chaotic place that the gods of light can't cover?, so which god's miracle is this?"

"Do the dwarves have their own gods?" muttered the handsome knight in iron-gray armor.

Cory opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she suddenly noticed a figure in the wind and sand walking towards them.

The man was alone, not riding, and could only see an outline in the haze.

Ke Lei subconsciously put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and then coughed lightly to remind her companions to pay attention.

"Is this the Giants?"

It was a woman, and her voice seemed familiar, but Clay couldn't remember where she had heard it.

She pressed down with one hand, signaled to her companions that it was okay, and then said loudly, "...... It used to be. ”

At this time, the woman had come more than ten meters away, and Ke Lei finally saw her clearly.

This woman has blonde hair, wears the same golden armor, is slightly taller than Ke Lei, her face is well-defined, there is a hint of manly handsomeness, the corners of her mouth are slightly curved, and she smiles extremely confidently, but when she saw Ke Lei clearly, she was suddenly stunned.

"Corey?"

“...... Sarah?"

No wonder Corey thought she had heard this voice somewhere, but she couldn't remember it anyway, because it had been so long.

"Commander, is it your friend?" asked the knight in iron-gray armor happily.

Ke Lei hesitated, not knowing how to answer. She and Sarah shouldn't be friends, but now, she doesn't feel that the other party is an enemy.

"Of course it's a friend! an old friend I haven't seen in a long time!" replied Sarah with a smile.

(I don't know why these chapters have been written lately, and the more I write, the more difficult and stressful I become.) In the past few days, I have been writing a paragraph and deleting a paragraph, and I feel like I am about to collapse...... There's only one chapter today, so I'm so sorry, I'll try hard tomorrow!) )
