White lightning slashed down from the top of the sacred mountain, shattering the shields of the Constructed Knights, and this incredible energy instantly evaporated the outer armor of these Constructed Colossias into a cloud of golden-red metallic gas that exploded outward, and the metal pipes and various mechanical structures inside were also quickly swept away by the magnetic storm and became charred black.

But the Constructed Knights were too strong, and the three red crystal balls they revealed were being connected in series, bursting out with incredible psionic energy, and the powerful psionic shield was forcefully blocking the shattering lightning of the super giant magnetic storm coil, protecting all of their main structures.

But their pedestals for action weren't as strong - the earth was melting and evaporating under the force of the magnetic storm, and so were the mechanical feet, and the legs of the three Constructed Knights were melting into the lava of the earth, making it difficult to move.

[Ambushed]

The leader of the constructs actually said calmly. In fact, it is very difficult for them to be stupid even if they want to, and the mechanical mind will certainly erase feelings, but it will also make people think in the most rational way, and will not be bothered by the problems that plague the machine: [The matter has come to this, only self-explosion]

【Agreed】

【Agreed】

The other two Constructed Knights did not hesitate, the Constructed Knights themselves were not an absolute secret technology, and both the Imperial and Gantregem had the ability to build such a giant combat unit.

However, the 'spirit weapon' that can carry the soul for a long time, that is, the red crystal that is the core of the Constructed Knight, is the unique technology of the Flying Flame Land, and it is also the main reason why the Flying Flame Land can maintain a large army of Constructed Knights for a long time, and they must not leak this technology even if they die in battle.

Without the slightest hesitation, when the three Constructed Knights agreed to self-destruct, their mechs immediately began to appear unstable in energy, and the crystals shone with a blazing red light.

They want to annihilate themselves directly.

However, at this very moment.

An ice-blue trail suddenly lit up from the top of the sacred mountain, and then dragged a glowing trail in the night sky, heading towards the Constructed Knights who were detonating themselves at a great speed.

What is that?

Even on the eve of death, the Knights in Costume couldn't help but think that this was not a negative emotion, but a simple incomprehension.

Ian, on the other hand, tightened the ice-forged fairy wings behind his back, allowing his body to accelerate even further—and the silver glow shone in his eyes.

He had already seen the golden-red glow flowing from the Constructed Knight's body, and on one side of the chip, a countdown of only 12 seconds was constantly rolling, and behind the boy, the Cliff Elder was reaching forward in amazement, as if trying to catch Ian, but he didn't succeed.

It's not that the third level can't react, it's that Ian's actions are too unbelievable.

Why did he rush over when it was obvious that the enemy was going to blow himself up?

How simple the answer is.

"Actually want to blow yourself up? Wait a minute! Let me prostitute the technology in vain and die again! ”

Ian wasn't nervous, everything was under control, everything was planned.

The countdown in the horizon counted down slowly, and in an instant, he skimmed across the sky, breaking through the distance between mountains at supersonic speed.

The lightning storm that fell between the canopies was the backdrop of his flight, and the two spirals of cold air entangled in a spiral shape shone in the darkness, bringing up a drifting frost.

At this moment, even the Constructed Knight, who was already doomed to death, was unconscious

Leaning forward, he stretched out his arm to catch the shining meteor.

But the meteor didn't slow down at all, he even accelerated, straight into the palm of the colossus, and then turned sharply the moment it touched the palm armor.

The frosty elf crossed a graceful, light arc through the fingers of the Colossus.

It's like a butterfly flying through a child's fingertips.

Boom, the construct's palms closed together with a loud bang, and Ian had turned and flown away.

The countdown enters the final three seconds, and the constructed knight behind him enters the final furnace contraction phase.

The arm that tried to grab the butterfly was slightly beaten, and then melted into molten iron in the high heat radiation rising from behind.

Click-The crisp sound was clear, and the three spirit weapon crystals shattered at the same time

It's like three little suns erupting.

In the valley in front of the pitch-black Sacred Mountain, three extremely bright dots directly illuminated all the surrounding areas.

Extreme bursts of light and heat, even the mushroom clouds formed by the attack of the giant magnetic storm coil were blown away, huge mountain rocks rolled outward like windweeds, and countless trees rose from the ground, swept up by the air current, and then ignited by the hot air in mid-air, becoming torches burning in mid-air.

If it weren't for the fact that Elder Mancliff had already arranged everyone into a shelter in the mountains, the Avod Ministry would have been directly expelled - but even so, the area where the Avod Ministry was located was almost completely destroyed, and a large number of buildings were blown away by violent shocks and shock waves like fragile biscuits.

Ian's back to all of this, his trajectory cut through an S-shaped arc in this brilliant and spectacular explosion, and then returned to the top of the Sacred Mountain.

Boom - The Holy Mountain is also shaking, and the hearth in the body of the Knight of Formation is obviously the same level as the Aether Force, so it's no wonder that there is such a power comparable to a nuclear weapon...... In fact, apart from the absence of radiation and instantaneous damage, the destructive power of any Knight of Construct is greater than that of a tactical nuclear weapon.

"They're really fast."

Returning to the top of the sacred mountain unscathed, Ian looked at the explosion site in the distance under the speechless gaze of the Cliff Elder, and he sighed, "I was almost swept in." ”

- Now that you know, what are you doing in the past? Surprise me!

Elder Manya wanted to reprimand him like this, but the high-heat hurricane formed by the self-explosion of the Constructed Knight hit and slapped on the Sacred Mountain of Steel.

There is no problem with the holy mountain itself, the defense of the dragon you chain left by the steel dragon is quite good, even if the construction knight wants to destroy it, at least he has to use the main weapon, and the aftermath can't do anything about it.

But the super-giant magnetic storm coil ...... It was originally a makeshift semi-finished product, with no protective measures other than the main body.

Coupled with two consecutive full force urgings, its structure was already crumbling, and when it was slapped by this shockwave, it collapsed in a swaying and swaying.

Quack - squeak -

There was a harsh scraping sound, and Ian and Elder Cliff raised their heads to look at the slowly overturning, falling black metal tower.

Boom. It collapsed, and the remains of the tower slapped against the side of the sacred mountain, shattering into countless metal shards, which were blown up in the wind and turned into a rain of metal reflecting the flash of the distant explosion.

The boy stretched out his hand in the air, and a silver light arced through the air, falling into his hand from the wreckage of the tower.

"Sure enough." Holding the flickering light in his hand, the Dust Purifying Dragon Chest Shell that was very active in tempering, Ian shook his head slightly: "This kind of improvised thing can be used once—but this design experience can be used for the next time." ”

"If I had known, I would have added to the prophecy that 'the tower will eventually fall,...... It's not a big problem, though. ”

He wasn't sad at all, but Ian was so happy at this time.

The full set of materials of the Flying Flame Land Construct Knight was copied into the silver chip by him in the brief contact just now, which was only a moment of contact - compared to the technologies in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, which were too high and even difficult to reproduce, although the skills of the Construct Knight were high-end, they were completely something he could try to copy!

It's not that he's going to build a knight too...... That spirit crystal alone is what Ian urgently needs, which can carry the soul material carrier for a long time!

Moreover, although the Construct Knight blew himself up, the precious sublimated metals that made up the Construct did not completely explode and scatter, and most of it merged into the lava along with the wreckage......

When the time comes, it will be dug out and processed, and the stock may not be inferior to a super-high-quality and high-quality sublimated metal vein.

"It's hard to imagine...... We actually fought off the Constructed Knights just like that. Elder Manya was still a bit like a dream at the moment, he touched his beard and stared at the explosive lava pit that was still burning in the distance: "That's a Constructed Knight, one can make our entire mountain people fall into a bitter battle, and three Constructed Knights can even capture the kingdom......"

"Whoever told them to face is the Sacred Mountain Energy System left behind by the Fifth Energy Level Steel Dragon, and the super giant magnetic storm line I assembled

Circle?"

Ian feels that the Elder of the Cliff is a little sentimental, and the Constructed Knight is strong, but the real strength lies in the frontal battlefield, the overwhelming threat to ordinary troops, in short, the design of the Constructed Knight is for engineering and facing a large number of conventional troops in one piece, these giant constructs are essentially no different from the sublimators of the third level when facing the powerful third-level demonic beasts one-on-one.

And the magnetic storm coil on the Holy Mountain is essentially a stake sublimator who can't move, but can continue to stimulate the thunder of the third energy level's high-level destructive power, because it has the Holy Mountain energy system, its offensive is endless, and it can naturally overwhelm the Constructed Knights, and then hit them hard.

The most important thing is that this group of knights didn't expect Ian to hide this kind of hole card at all - if they had known that the Holy Mountain had this level of fortification, they wouldn't have come here at all!

"In short, we won."

Ian summed it up like this, he showed a heartfelt smile, and the young man took a long breath and sighed with emotion: "Now, the last threatening force in the hands of the special forces in the Flying Flame Land has been eliminated by us, and the rebel mountain people have also been defeated...... Elder Cliff, we've won a big victory! ”

"Yes, yes. We've won a big game. ”

The old man shook his head, detached from his disbelief, and then turned his head sideways to look at Ian deeply.

Then the old man bowed his head to Ian, and he knelt on one knee, pressed his hand to his heart, and saluted the young man in front of him: "Everything depends on the miracle you have brought about, messenger of the dragon god. ”

Ian did not shy away from the old man's salute, he stood where he was, and took it.

It was what he deserved and what he needed.

Because he is indeed the messenger of the dragon god, the co-master of the mountain people, and the one who leads the people of the dragon god to a better future.

Undoubtedly.

After a few seconds, the young man leaned down and helped the Cliff Elder up.

"Get up." Ian whispered, "We still have a lot of things to do. ”

With that, he turned his head to look around the ruined sacred mountain. Ian smiled instead, "Clean up this mess – that's what we're going to do now." ”

"Contact Nauman City and they'll be absolutely pleasantly surprised."

……

On December 25, 773, the battle of Terra was called 'The Battle of the Cast Steel Mountain, and the curtain came to an end.

The Governor's Office of the Nanling Province characterized it as 'a major treason incident in which a small group of mountain people colluded with the Flying Flame Land to transport the knights into the territory.'

The vast majority of the mountain people are generally knowledgeable and pro-empire, and it is these mountain people who provide clues and provide the necessary information and time for the mountain leaders led by Ian and Manya.

It seems that the hill rebellion never existed...... No, it is true that the mountain people have never rebelled.

In the official record, it is nothing more than a group of independent mountain tribes who ventured to collude with the Flying Flame Land, intending to steal the power of the mountain people's holy land with the help of the power of the knights,—— and because of this incident, the loyal Nanling mountain people are now quite poor and the bad situation has been taken seriously by the imperial capital.

Under the initiative of the Marquis of Batun, in order to ensure the stability of the southwestern theater of operations, and also to ensure that the western provinces have other supply areas except for the central region, the imperial capital decided to increase investment in the construction of the Nanling Province, develop excellent mineral veins in the western area of the Baissen Mountains, build several more military production lines around Nauman, and strengthen the border defense line.

With the approval of the imperial capital, the Governor's Office of Nanling Province decided to forcibly dissolve the tribal organization of the mountain tribes such as Jiamu, Sheyan, Zhenzhou and Tiechen, abolish the status of the autonomous region of Midra, and divide it into a district directly under the governor of Nanling, which was supervised by the leader of the Avod Department, Manya Avode.

The Lord of Xiahui, Baron Ian Aljomon (not officially awarded), received the Imperial Commendation, and the exact reward is still being discussed, but there is no doubt about the Order of the Purple Sunset.

But it's not a big deal.

In the last month of 773, a cold wind began to rise.

After the Grand Duke of Thorin brought some of his most loyal people into 'Hell', the area where the original Grand Duke of Thorin was located became a forbidden land, although there were still some residents of the Grand Duke who did not follow the Grand Duke, but there was a strong confusion

The fog covered the place, and no one could come out again after entering the fog, except for the people of the Grand Duke's own leadership.

And after stabilizing the chaos of the five counties in the west, the empire once again built a number of permanent fortifications around the gorge of the Abasarom Mountains, and the Knights of the Patrol operated extensively throughout the southwest, and their goal was to fight all the espionage operations in the Flying Flame Land with all their might. This time, the patrol knights dispatched a large-scale sweep of the remnants of the political influence left by the Grand Duke of Thorin.

The area around the Grand Duke's Territory of Thorin is becoming a new territory of the Imperial Capital.

But that's not the most important thing in December, and it's even a little episode.

On December 28th, Prince Aso, one of the heirs of the Flame Kingdom and the King of the Flame Land, was attacked by a mysterious force while hunting in the wilderness, and finally died of his injuries, and the King of Yanli found the seal of the empire from the traces left by the remaining mysterious troops.

One of the few Flame Kings who were more peaceful towards the Empire, King Enge had always disliked war, and her heir, Prince Aso, was said to have traveled to the Empire for a secret meeting some time ago, but he was assassinated less than a week after his return.

To be honest, anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story knows that this matter is absolutely strange, and the empire has to cry out for injustice, but with today's public opinion, as well as the faint contradictions and threats between the two bloodlines, everyone can only transfer their firepower to the empire.

Even King Yeonjeon himself couldn't say much - what exactly did Prince Aso communicate with the Empire? In order to investigate the cause of his death, this matter must also be investigated.

And the empire did not think of justification, nor did it bother to justify.

- If the Flamelands want war, then give you war!

Marked by the assassination of Prince Aso, a large number of troops were mobilized and reorganized between the Flying Flame Land and the Empire, and there was daily news of the enemy's air armor and its own losses in the airspace over the border between the Abasarom Mountains and the Baissen Mountains.

For a time, the Terra nations expressed many opinions on this, and Barth, a lifelong contributor to the famous academic journal "The Gate of Truth" and the great alchemist of the Capital of Knowledge, criticized the Flamelands for his actions in private channels as simply "pretending that everyone else is fools", he did not support the Empire, but scorned the Flamelands' move to suppress internal instability before going to war.

Kulbarov, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Huanyu Daily", which takes anti-empire as the core selling point, published articles in his own journal one after another, "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Edge of Collapse", severely criticizing the despicable and shameless assassination of the empire, which is a major symbol of the stubborn decay of the empire, and is also the result of the gradual degeneration of the imperial team, and if this continues, the empire will collapse within five years.

On behalf of this, people from all walks of life in Terra have expressed their opinions on the assassination of Prince Aso, either in favor of the Flame Lands, in support of the Empire, or in the hope of seeing the two sides play dog brains, openly and covertly, and in general, at the end of the year, a lot of material for the people of Terra and the bards, making an excellent end to the year 773.

Whether it's the merchants of the Seven Cities Alliance or the mercenaries of the Whalesong Cliffs, whether it's the pirates of Canaan Moore or the tavernkeeper of Ganter Righam, everyone is hotly discussing the conflict between the Empire and the Flamelands.

But just a few days later, it was the year of Terra 774, January 1.

Just as the Flame Land's royal legion brazenly crossed the border and appeared in the western province of the empire from the Grand Duke of Thorin, who had turned into a fog country, the Flame Land's Distant Flame Fortress Group declared its independence almost at the same time.

After killing the Legion Leader in a frontal battle, the Deputy Legion Commander of the Distant Flame Fortress and the fourth-level powerhouse, 'Flame Flame, Ibeya' killed the Legion Leader in a frontal battle, and after Cavaga, he denounced the Flying Flame Land's neglect and contempt for decades of neglect and contempt for the Far Flame Fortress Group and the area responsible for supplying the Fortress Group's supplies.

Especially in the last ten years, the Flying Flame Land has almost left them to fend for themselves, many soldiers have become the private servants and domestic slaves of the officers, the original great desert greening plan has also been interrupted for a long time, and the soldiers and ordinary people of the entire fortress group have lived in the yellow sand and scorching heat, and they are miserable.

His independence is by no means a rebellion, but only against the Flying Flame Land, which has already betrayed the fortress group

times fair and just' returns,!

At the first time, the Empire publicly stated that they fully supported the independence of Ibea, the Commander of the Flame Legion, which was undoubtedly a righteous move, a humane and reasonable action for human rights, order, and a humane and reasonable action - at the first time, the Imperial Empress Alegria Sattar established diplomatic relations with the tentative name of the Burning Mountain, the Far Flame Land Fortress Group, as an official envoy, and provided a large number of supplies and gifts.

How could the kings of Nemathas bear such humiliation? As the armies of the kings of Abasarom marched into the territory of the empire to meet the combined forces of the five counts of the west, their armies would also march to the fortress group for a two-front battle.

Total war began......

At this point, all ordinary people reacted...... They came for real.

Not to divert the domestic perspective and conduct a painless regional war around the fortress complex...... The Settar Empire is going to engage in an all-out and all-encompassing war with the Flying Flame Lands!

And the high-level leaders of the countries who have known about this for a long time are also quietly waiting.

As a continent with only one continent, war never misses anyone...... It's relevant to all people.

A corner of history is slowly unfolding.

Compared to such a big event, it happened in the Southern Ridge Province of the Empire, and the three constructed knights tried to secretly raid the sacred land of the mountain people...... It's just a morale-boosting win, but it's not a spectacular win at all.

However, a grain of sand of the times, when it falls on a person's head, is as heavy as a mountain.

For the mountain people, everything has changed.

Terra 774, January 1, morning.

When the news of all-out war had not yet spread widely.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Ian stood at the top of the Cast Steel Mountain, backed by the overturned tower, looking around the mountains for the hundreds of hill tribe chiefs and priests who had come here, and the thousands of mountain people who had gathered here.

- He is going to give a speech, a proclamation, a prophecy and a coronation.

- Here he wants to become the co-master of the mountain people, a leading prophet, and a new guide.

And...... Become the star that guides the future.

Right here and now.
