Chapter 145: The Dreadnought Legion (Finale)
Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden -
Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden -
Such a unique and shocking sound resounded throughout [Rejdia] through the light screen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
You can see the dense flash of light like a shower, carrying amazing power and speeding at low altitude. In just an instant, these flashes of light poured into the herd of demonic beasts.
Hundreds of meters away, the screams of the demonic beasts seemed to shake even the air. Now, it doesn't matter whether they are of race or strength, they are all equal in the pouring rain of light, and they are reduced to silent lumps of flesh without even the slightest resistance.
With more than 10,000 light bullets per minute, "death" has turned "death" into an impassable barrier, blocking the progress of the monster. Each shot left a bloody hole in the flesh, and the defense was relatively weak, and even the entire body was penetrated.
The piece of flesh that had been killed could only roll a few times in the direction of progress with inertia, and then it was trampled to death by other demonic beasts that followed closely. The galloping of the herd has become an irreversible wave, and even the timid species are chased by the same kind in the rear and have to keep moving forward, because the slightest stagnation will be used by the same kind in the rear to make meat sauce.
But the rain of light without mercy kept sweeping for a moment, and the demonic beasts in the front row fell in rows like weeds harvested by a sickle, and the barrage of fine light turned the plain into an impregnable trench, leaving corpses and blood piling up in mountains and rivers every second.
Not only that, but on both sides of the queue, several knights at the same time set up larger, horse-drawn carriage-like magic cannons with wheels. I saw a large amount of white smoke suddenly released from the rear of the cannon body, and one after another cylindrical 'long arrows' flew out with the fierce sound of air jets, dragging tails composed of white flames.
The long arrows that were ignited shot straight into the horde of monsters, probably because they were not aimed, only about thirty percent of them hit the monsters, while the others all smashed into the ground in a flash. However, it soon became clear that it did not matter whether it hit or not, because the 'arrow' would explode violently no matter what object it touched.
The orange-red flame storm instantly swept through the center, and the demonic beasts that were directly hit did not even leave their corpses, and their flesh and blood were instantly vaporized.
In this way, the demonic beasts that had crossed the distance of a few hundred meters and came to the knights had gone from more than 5,000 horses to less than 100 of them.
If it were normal, even if there were only a hundred demonic beasts wreaking havoc at the same time, it would still be a terrifying nightmare, but now, after the previous slaughter, no one was afraid of the number in front of them. Everyone was sure that these knights of unknown origin would continue to use the magic cannon they had never seen before, and they would easily wipe out the remnants of the beasts.
However, to everyone's surprise, the knights put away the strange magic cannons in a wonderful flash, and with the sharp shield swords that showed in the same way, they launched a fearless charge against the remaining beasts, which were still more than twice as numerous as them.
The audience in the city originally thought that wearing the kind of full-body armor that looked bulky would definitely limit the speed of movement, but what was jaw-dropping was that the pure white knights took a wind-like step on the rough mud and grass ground, and their figures seemed to be able to draw flashes of light, and they rushed forward at an incomprehensible speed.
The knights' melee prowess was equally impeccable, their blades as sharp as slicing through tofu, slicing in two shells stronger than iron armor. In just a few seconds, the light of the blade spread across the battlefield like dense cobwebs, and in the blink of an eye, the audience had not had time to see how many moves, and the remaining hundred demonic beasts had all been defeated.
Most of the bodies of demonic beasts are much larger than humans, and their physical strength is naturally not to be underestimated. In fact, even experienced adventurers can only deal with D-level Warcraft alone, while C-level and above require mid-level warriors who have comprehended the fighting spirit to compete with them.
Intermediate warriors are as rare as magicians, and even mercenaries who have been buried on the battlefield all year round can only master the fighting spirit. And the one who can kill the D-level or above Demonic Beast so easily must be a "high-level warrior" who can use his fighting spirit more perfectly, enough to defeat a hundred enemies on the battlefield, or even a "saint-level warrior" who comprehends the 'golden fighting spirit' in the legend.
But such a character, even if you look at the mainland, I am afraid that there are only a handful of hundreds of people.
It is worth mentioning that the knights of the Imperial Capital, the 'Legendary Blades', are some of these hundreds of people, and they are said to have reached the power of the upper rank or above, almost the Holy Rank. That indisputable force is also the capital that the Terrence Empire was once able to prosper on a continent full of disputes.
Nowadays, because of their existence, even in today's era of political corruption, national strength, and turbulence, no country dares to easily invade the empire. But in front of them, these little-known white-armored knights, who were born in a small town in the western part of the imperial border, showed similar strength, which was really unbelievable.
The majestic posture of the knights is awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring, and after a fierce battle, their armor has not left a trace of battle at all, not only is there no blood and scratches, but not even a single dust is stained. It's like a real 'divine soldier' descending from the sky, so that mortal dust cannot easily pollute their bodies.
And at the very front of these 'divine soldiers', the girl who called herself 'Alice' appeared again, she showed a tragic and serious look, and her immature and lovely voice also seemed shocking at this time-
"Fellow citizens, as you can see, standing before your eyes are the supreme knights, who uphold the will and tradition preached by the martyrs of the empire, the legendary 'holy kings'!
I know...... Now, the empire is corrupted. Countless poor people are struggling to survive, and countless parents have sold their children abroad. Not only humans, but even more so orcs, who once stood with us as companions, but now become pathetic slaves!
The empire once stood proudly on the top of the continent, and our future was once full of glory and hope! But under the arrogance and oppression of some nobles, we failed the will of the martyrs and reluctantly went into decline.
Ladies and gentlemen, what exactly is aristocratry? The status of aristocrats should not only represent rights, but also carry the traditions and heavy responsibilities of the empire...... No matter what status we have, we should also be citizens of the empire...... But now it has become a symbol of vile and shamelessness...... and I, and my father, have always been bitter about it.
So at this moment, I, as a nobleman, in the name of my father, Count Rutega Crusnier, the 'hero of the dragon slayer', made a manifesto that would abandon all prejudice and arrogance and make the oppression of the deplorable class a thing of the past. Let us form a solid alliance for survival and progress! Yes, from today onwards, we will gather our strength! Continue our faith!
Don't be afraid, let alone ignore your own possibilities! The people standing in front of you are not battle-hardened warriors, they are all just farmers in the fields! Among them are even orc-born teenagers......! But they have proved that no matter who they used to be, they can become knights who protect the country and the people!
We, 'Celia', have the strength to make everyone stronger, and we also have the will to overcome all difficulties and obstacles! Compatriots -- believe in me, believe in yourself! Get up from the slums that are like a garbage dump! Go out into the sun again, remember your hope for your future, and regain your compassion and love as parents! Let us ...... Let's fight to regain our former glory!"
The girl's words echoed in everyone's ears.
First of all, the glorious posture of these knights in front of them makes it easy to think of the 'Legendary Blade'. If we talk about power alone, then the 'Legendary Blades' also have power, but they are fighting on the front line for the sake of civilians who are insignificant in the eyes of the powerful.
Then the poor people remembered how they had been...... At least eight years ago, they weren't so bleak. Even though he lived in poverty, his parents poured love into him. But now, they have to sell their children to make ends meet.
Then, the girl who shines like the sun shows them a miracle and points the way - [Celia], the name of this border town, if you form an alliance with it, you can gain superhuman strength and a chance to reverse your fate.
In the end, the name of 'Dragon Slayer Hero' made the atmosphere boil to the extreme. Anyone who lives in the vicinity of the Franco-Lipabis Mountains has heard of the myths that have been boiling over recently. But what I didn't expect was that the girl in front of me was actually the daughter of the 'Dragon Slayer Hero'.
Even some distance from the city, Alice could hear the thunderous cheers, and the success of the speech made her even more carried away, and she added-
"I, the [Knights of the Luna] Alice El Crusnell, will shoulder the responsibility of defending the Alliance! Compatriots, if you feel the slightest touch by what I have just said! I want to contribute to this! Then welcome to Celia and welcome everyone to join the ranks of the knights! We, the [Knights of the Luna], will defend the Alliance, fight to reclaim the glorious past, and to open up a hopeful future!"
As soon as Alice's words fell, the cheers were louder than before, and they resounded in the sky......
And at this moment, in the city, the bespectacled lord and a white-haired young man beside him invariably showed a complicated and sinister expression.
