Chapter 61: The Prophet of Thunder (6400)
“…… At present, the rebels' forces are concentrated at the mouth of the Fagon Gorge, numbering about fifteen thousand men. “
“…… The spies in the Rock Knife Department had a new report that they had seen a force approaching the line of Twin Hammer Island around the Stranded Sea, as if intending to surprise our flank and rear. ”
“…… The spies inside have already started to act, and they have just transported away a few Magnetic Storm Armors that Xia Hui has provided us. ”
"Elder, you said leave it alone, do you say, those armors ......?"
Elder Mancliff stood at the top of the lookout, looking out at the positions of the rebel mountain people in the distance.
Behind him, a guard was reporting the news.
"Well, it's not normal." Hearing the guard's question, the old man withdrew his gaze from afar, and his expression even carried a hint of joy.
He laughed and said, "Given so many opportunities, they finally made a move———— but Kord and the people over there in the Flame Land can't do it, it's too cautious." I don't know the truth of making a move. ”
"Elder Takami!" The guard said sincerely, "The other spies found ......"
Elder Manya made a downward wave gesture, and the guards understood it.
Waiting for the guards to leave, ready to catch and cut down the spies, Mancliff turned his head sideways and looked farther east than the rebel hill people's positions.
The mutation of the steel dragon's nest naturally couldn't hide from his eyes, and the flow of the wind became more rapid, causing the heart light body in his body to tremble slightly.
"Somewhat unexpectedly, what new information did Ian discover, and he was in such a hurry?"
Touching his beard, the old man was a little puzzled, but in general, he completely believed in all of Ian's decisions: "It's not a big problem, in this way, Kod or other second-level will have to go back one or two." The pressure on the front will be reduced a lot. ”
"Especially......" Imagining the spies' expressions as they carefully transported those Storm Armor back to their lair, Elder Mancliff gave a sense of "You also have today," a sense of schadenfreude: "Later, they will definitely have a surprise."
The other party.
The base of the Nanling Special Operations Brigade in the Flying Flame Land.
Underground laboratory.
"Hurry up, put these important goods in!"
"Be light, don't bump it - it's solid in theory, but it's best not to get damaged!"
"Pull the work box over, and do a preliminary inspection before putting it into storage!"
In the laboratory, noisy human voices sounded, and most of the engineering researchers in the South Ridge of the Flying Flame Land gathered here, they were attentive and eager, and they all revolved around a dark brown magnetic storm armor and commented: "This sublimation armor is very simple, but it is indeed an armed structure that can be mass-produced, and it can be used for reference!"
"It is said that this brand-new armament was developed by the little young man led by Xia Hui alone, which I don't believe very much, no matter how you look at it, it has at least ten years of mature technology... Look at this circuit! It doesn't involve a bit of essentia structure, it's purely composed of conductive wires, it's just art!"
Some of the electromagnetic technicians were looking at the generator of the Magnetic Storm Armor, and they were simply fascinated———— Flying Flame Land was not without relevant lightning weapon technology, but there had never been such an idea as a Magnetic Storm Armor.
Whether it's firing a magnetic storm in a directional direction or using only a few sublimation materials, Flameland is quite interested in the Magnetic Storm Armor. Since the defeat of the mountain people's coalition army, the relevant task of the special operations group has added a new "capture the armed force,.
Thanks to the efforts of the spies, they broke through the rudimentary defenses of the mountain people in a short period of time, and successfully transported all five of these five Magnetic Storm armors to their base.
"This structure...... Very fine. ”
The relevant senior researcher disassembled the armor on the outside of the armor and observed the internal coil structure, and couldn't help but look moved: "This is a special game of electricity———— look, you all come over to take a look, the circuits and energy used in it are completely only electricity, and there is no trace of essific energy (hereinafter referred to as source energy)!"
"The only place where the source energy is used is the alchemy furnace, and the rotor structure surrounding the alchemy furnace is the one that converts the source energy into electrical energy...... Is it to avoid the special interference of essentia In general, the empire is in
Magnetic storms are about twenty years ahead of us in terms of technology, and the private armament used by such small local lords has this level of sophistication, and it is difficult to imagine the strength of the official military model of the Empire. ”
"It's really amazing!"
A young researcher stepped forward to observe the power generation engine around the heart of the alchemy furnace, and he reached out and touched the complex structure of metal in front of him with his fingers with a slight electric current: "But...... I feel that the energy storage structure should be optimized, and I feel that a lot of source energy has been wasted. ”
"Oh?" His words caught the attention of the other researchers, and the senior researcher leaned over, and he followed the young researcher's guidance and looked in the direction of the accumulator: "Indeed. Strange, why? This should be a very simple source-cold conversion device, why should he fine-tune the frequency so that some of the source energy cannot be converted into ordinary current?"
"It doesn't seem like a simple design mistake, it's deliberate."
Several researchers pondered, and then one of them suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, I see, this diverter looks like it's used to stabilize the frequency, but in fact, its real function is to transfer essentia, store it inside the engine, and crystallize, but the stored essentia will be activated......"
"Wait......"
The senior researcher watched carefully for a while, and he finally figured out the true function of the structure, and his face changed drastically: "This thing...... will explode"
"This alchemy furnace actually exploded?!"
Yes. It will explode.
And it's powerful.
Because of the current stimulation of the previous researchers, and because the originally scheduled explosion conditions were all met, at this moment, at the core energy furnace of the magnetic storm armor, the blue-blue light was rapidly brightening, illuminating the faces or the back of the heads of all the researchers whose complexions had changed drastically and wanted to flee when they turned around.
However, it was too late.
With a piercing burst of electricity, the furious thunder began to spread in all directions!
Rumble!!!!!!
Not far away, Captain Naimo, who was frowning and looking in the direction of the Steel Dragon's Nest, was a little irritable at the moment.
The reason why Flamelands cooperated with the mountain people and had such patience was that they wanted to use their hands to try to unlock the four-hundred-year-old legacy of the Steely Dragon.
Yes, it is true that disrupting the South Ridge is their main strategic goal, but that does not mean that they do not have other purposes...... As a sacred place that has been guarded by the Jiamu Ministry, the Steel Dragon Nest was originally regarded by Naimo as a bag, and as long as the last pro-imperial mountain people in the Frodo Autonomous Region were defeated, they could study this dragon god relic openly under the cover of independent mountain people.
But now, it's not just the Xia Hui Leader and the Wrong Steel Mountain that have abnormalities, but even the Steel Dragon Nest has been activated when he can't grasp it......
"Forget it. Take your time, at least it's been a bit rewarding lately. ”
His dull face improved slightly, and Naimo was about to go back and write a report and hand it back to headquarters——— it was already a credit to be able to get a sample of the Magnetic Storm Armor, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be transferred away quickly, and replace it with someone else to come to this country where demons are roaming and suffer.
There are too many things and people in this hellish place, and he can't stand it.
His wish was about to come to naught.
Because of a grand explosion, it appeared in the laboratory underground of the base.
"What?!"
At the moment when he sensed the rumbling roar coming from the ground, Naimo's expression changed suddenly, and he sensed that something was wrong——— the captain immediately took out a psionic ornament from his arms, and a spherical shield protected it.
But the thunder that erupted from the ground burst out from the cracked ground, setting off a gust of wind that instantly blew the dazed Namo and his office away.
———— along with reports and documents that have not yet been written.
The flash of the explosion appeared in an unnamed corner of the northwestern part of the Bison Mountains, and it had been completely positioned with the obvious electromagnetic waves scurrying and the slowly burning debris of documents flying through the sky.
But no one cares about it anymore.
Naimo's angry roar rang out over the ruins of the base.
"Emperor! Country! People!"
So, what are the Imperials doing at this moment?
The Imperials are in ambush.
To the west of Xiahui City, outside the Victory Square and the mountain people's tent area, there is a newly built area, which is covered with plastic cloth because of the recent continuous rain, but from a distance, it can still be seen that the scale of the alchemy workshop to be built here is enough to be called luxurious for this small city.
Today, however, unlike the clouds around the Autonomous Region of Midera, the sun is shining brightly.
After all, the artificial rain drove the clouds several times, and if there was rain, the alchemy department had to write a review.
Commander Scott stood on the mountain peak on the shore of Lake Xiahui, which overlooked the valley gorge in the distance and the "built-up area" to the west of the city, and beside him, the lake was quietly swirling, the smooth surface of the lake reflecting the colors of the surrounding trees and the sky, and the sky and clouds were layered on top of each other, like a gemstone facet of ever-changing colors and images under the sunlight.
Although the lake is beautiful, now is not the time to enjoy it, and with the shock of the magnetic watch, Scott's expression moved slightly, and he beckoned to the other soldiers to observe the sky on the west side with a telescope.
Soon, they saw that the three-headed steel pterosaur was piercing through the clouds.
It was a trio of creatures of extreme hideousness and intense beauty, their bodies made of steel reflecting the cold light of the sun, and they had a strong taste, and they hovered lightly in the sky, confirming their purpose.
The dragon at the head was huge, but it could still only see small dots at an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and many observers on the ground had to rely on tools to distinguish them.
However, even the appearance could not be seen clearly, and the existence of the third-level dragon itself still made everyone's hearts feel slightly cold, and an irrepressible panic began to appear.
"Don't worry! Forgot the Nauman City Dragon Hunters lurking in ambush? This time, they are the main force! All we need to do is damage them with our secret weapons - at the very least, the two winged dragons will be ineffective!"
This instinctive, life-like fear is extremely difficult to avoid, and to be honest, Scott's body itself is also afraid, but he still shouts in a low voice with his tenacious will, awakening everyone's fighting spirit: "Prepare ———— position in West Side and prepare!" When they drop a certain height, they will strike immediately!"
Located in the northwest of the city, the dragon hunting team of Nauman City also hid their armor under the plastic cloth, and they also looked up at the dragon shadow in the sky with a solemn expression.
Soon, the steel pterosaurs that had identified their target were about to launch a surprise attack, but they didn't want to leave too much evidence behind, so they just chose the simplest way to attack.
Buzz, on the back of the pterosaur, the iron ore that had been prepared for a long time levitated and slid down to the tail, and the tail scales of the steel pterosaur were the natural acceleration coil structure.
Under the strong magnetic force, these iron ores, which have been roughened into spherical shapes, are constantly expanding, splitting, and repolymerizing, accelerating around the tail of the pterosaur.
In the process, they are constantly magnetized and purified, and with the blessing of bursts of iridescent magnetic fields, the iron ore is accelerated in a dazzling supersonic sonic boom, and then disintegrates and disintegrates in the dazzling flames.
Large swaths of iron rain fell towards the ground.
Like a shooting star.
"Defense! Fight back!"
Scott watched the scene with his head tilted, and he had anticipated and commanded these iron meteors even before they landed.
On the ground, the foundation of the alchemy workshop covered by plastic cloth was suddenly lifted, and the four steel supports lit up with dazzling cyan electric light, which resonated with each other, rotated and expanded, and finally diffused into a cyan electromagnetic force field.
The Iron Meteor fell at several times supersonic speed, almost spanning a distance of two thousand meters in an instant, and the piercing scraping sound and current pulsation sound of the impact on ————the electromagnetic force field resounded throughout Xiahui City, triggering a panicked scream.
But these electromagnetic meteors, which were supposed to destroy half of the city, did no damage, and after the scorching smell of the metal was burned, the smoke and dust cleared, and the four electromagnetic shields transformed from magnetic storm coils were still intact, although two of them were overloaded, but they were still barely usable.
And right in the center of the position, a pitch-black and inconspicuous turret had calibrated its data with previous observations and attacks, and dazzling crystals shone at the core, charging.
Immediately afterward, a thick stream of light pierced the sky and clouds, accurately hitting the one who was caught off guard, never thinking that his attack would be defended, nor that he would be counterattacked
Great Dragon –
But it was blocked.
The dazzling white light of the Thorn ———— scattered in all directions, enough to penetrate the castle, melting the top of a mountain peak with its power, it was enough to barely reach the edge of the third energy level, and its highly condensed essentia light element was not the same as an ordinary laser, and it was the power that could penetrate the heart light shield on the body surface of the third energy level powerhouse.
Even when blocked, the beams of light it scattered were enough to shatter the clouds, pulling scorching, pitch-black scars across the sky and human eyes.
But the question is———— what exactly can block the light?
The answer is the heart.
The dragon at the head sensed that something was wrong the moment it saw that the Iron Meteor was blocked, and it let out a long groan, and its mind turned, as if a dark dragon made of shadows appeared out of thin air, blocking it in front of it.
Psychic body "Shadow Dragon".
The Mind Light Body that appeared in front of the great dragon was a shadow pterosaur that was larger than its main body, with wider wings and thicker body armor, and in addition, it also had front claws similar to those of a real dragon, which were extremely sharp.
For Warcraft, in addition to the "manifestation" after the enhancement of their own inherent abilities, their mental light bodies also have "an evolutionary form in their own imagination." This steel pterosaur is clearly the latter.
If it can continue to evolve and elevate itself according to the form of its own Mind Light Body, it can transform itself into a "special subspecies" of the Demonic Beast, leaving behind a new special bloodline and a new race.
Just like this great dragon, if it can reach the fourth energy level, it will open up a new bloodline group of "Shadow Wing Dragon", and for Warcraft, this may be their "true form".
The Shadow Dragon, the Mind Light Body Shield folded the Light Prism Cannon, the Steel Wing Dragon originally wanted to use the special power of the Heart Light Body to devour these light streams, but found that the essentia was too condensed to be used at all, and could only refract ———— but this refraction was too hasty, and it was extremely angry as it watched the two winged dragons on its side fall in wail.
After all, the Prism Cannon was a city-breaking weapon specially crafted by Ian, and even if it was scattered, it was enough to shoot down these second-level steel winged dragons.
The dragon was indeed unharmed, but he lost the wingman who was covering him.
"Is it my turn?" Adbert stepped out from behind the light lance cannon, and it was he who was secretly using the power of the third energy level to target and lock onto the steel pterodactyl, and obscured the aura of the entire position.
The white-haired Dead Monarch raised his head, and thought with some hesitation in his heart: "But the dragon hunting team of the empire next to me is here, do you really need me to make a move, don't expose it." ”
He still has no combat experience, and if Ian is here, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, even if he overloads the prism bubble and burns it, he will have to shoot it again - but for the weapon he has rubbed out with his own hands, Adbert still has a little love for it, and he is not willing to consume it like this.
But it wasn't a big problem, because with a rapid pop, the armor of the dragon hunting team on the side, under the advance of the flames, quickly galloped towards the unprepared steel pterodactyl.
At the same time, several hooks for restraint ejected from its back, all of which had suction power, and as soon as they were shot, they directly attracted towards the flying wings of the steel pterodactyl.
However, this method is just enough to deal with some ordinary steel pterodactyls, how can the third-level dragon still be troubled by this trick? As soon as the dragon's wings folded, its massive body spread as lightly as a butterfly, and its magnetic field began to spin rapidly, flicking the hook claws away.
[You can't kill me!] 】
The steel pterosaur spread its wings, it directly abandoned the two winged dragons, and climbed rapidly towards the sky———— was ambushed and still wanted to retaliate for the battle? Where are Warcraft so stupid, they have always run directly!
The dragon hunter armor fired several tracking alchemy bullets, if Ian was there, he would definitely be surprised, "Isn't this an air-to-air missile?,, but no matter what kind of weapon it is, it is meaningless in the face of the third energy level that wants to escape with all its might, the speed of the alchemy bullet is indeed faster than that of the steel winged dragon, but every time it seems to hit, it will be swallowed by a layer of pitch-black shadows.
Bang nozzle, a dull explosion erupted in the shadow dragon's heart light body, which made the heart light body a little illusory, and the steel wing dragon's expression also seemed to have been hit, but its speed not only did not slow down, but it was faster!
It's still climbing, climbing to a height that even the dragon hunter armor can't pursue.
At this time, whether it was Scott, Adbert, or even the dragon hunting team in Nauman City, they all felt that it was almost over———— and the raid of the Steel Wing Dragons on the Xia Hui Leader had been organized, and the two winged dragons had been shot down, which was already quite a good result.
With this temporary preparation, it is indeed a bit of luck to defeat a third-level dragon. And this time, luck wasn't on their side.
And just when everyone almost stopped, ready to watch the steel-winged dragon run away in embarrassment.
Suddenly, a red-silver streamer flashed across the sky that pierced through the clouds and wind.
[Can I?! 】
A pleasant voice rang out.
Armed with steel, the dragon, or rather, the true dragon with poorly developed wings, vibrated its steel prosthetic, while the red-haired dragon girl stood on the head of her real body, her fingers erected, her fair, slender index finger a little forward.
Upon boarding, the translucent flames that were enough to scorch and twist the air ignited simultaneously in the true dragon's mouth and in the huge Flame Wing Heart Light Body that appeared on its back.
The power exerted by the physical body and the mental light body at the same time melted all the clouds in the sky in an instant.
And for the Steel Pterodactyl, the deadly crisis suddenly came, a little flame bloomed in front of its eyes, it roared and wanted to fight back, the shadow dragon's form collapsed, turning into a black shield to firmly wrap its whole body, this is called "Shadow Domain", the power is enough to instantly transfer it to the subspace, temporarily avoiding all real-world damage.
However, it didn't think that the fire of the dragon was originally something that ignited from the soul and boiled in the void.
With a spit, the transparent flames burned through the shadows without hindrance, causing it to let out a terrible howl.
It fell, like a meteor, smashing into the ground with a huge crater and a cloud of smoke and dust.
[That's?! 】
The dragon hunter armored pilot in the distance was shocked, she didn't think for a while that the strange real dragon that suddenly appeared was a possible ally, until the auxiliary teammates on the ground prompted, she reacted: [Wait...... It was the child of the King of the Mountain, Theo the Dragon
[How to ...... Seems to have been cured for the most part? 】
"Flames of the Void? The purity is so high. ”
In Xiahui City, Adalbert narrowed his eyes, he could see the flames that Xi'o had lit, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "A child of an earth-based true dragon doesn't have much earth-based talent because of his aberration, but he has an extremely outstanding enhancement in his soul...... How could he grow up like this? “
"This soul form...... It's very interesting, no wonder those people in the Flying Flame Land want to arrest him for research related to the Void Dragon Soul, and I don't know if Ian's face can make him cooperate......"
The researcher's true nature was revealed, and Adalbert muttered something dangerous to himself.
Theo didn't care about the words that were happening in the distance.
Controlling the prosthetic wings to slowly lower, the former dragon trampled on a shadow, announcing its first victory since recovery.
[Solved the first target]
The red-haired dragon girl turned her head and looked in the direction where the steel dragon's nest was located: [Next, it's really going to help Ian.......]
Everyone's eyes were on the steel dragon's nest.
Ian stood at the top of the steel dragon's nest, patiently waiting for his opponent to arrive——— no matter what, whether it was Kodgamu or not, someone would come here and be the stepping stone for his next plan.
And Cod Jam is galloping.
He didn't know anything about the explosion that happened at the base of the Flying Flame Land, the destruction within his tribe, and the failure of the Xiahui Leader's raid, and he didn't even know that all his plans had already been seen through, and even set a trap in advance.
All he knew was that someone was triggering the mutation of the Steel Dragon's Nest, and he was going to stop the other party and find out the secret of why the other party was able to trigger the mutation of the Dragon's Nest.
Amid the clouds and torrential rain, he came to the edge of the steel dragon's nest.
Here, the hill chieftain picked up his head.
Except for the white-haired boy, the first thing he saw was a thunderbolt that snaked through the clouds and cut through the darkness.
It lit up the faces of both sides, and it also made the chief's heart flash a title that was hidden by the dragon god's messenger, so it didn't spread too widely.
Dazzling thunder cleaved and tore behind him
Cracked darkness of electric light weaved like a web in the clouds.
The Prophet of Thunder looked at him and smiled.
