Chapter 268: Terra Total War
Terra 775, June 1, the snow-capped summit of the Bissen Mountains, the Holy Land Square.
A review ceremony is taking place.
The Xiahui Band played the Cult music "Dawn Star", and the priests of the sect wore exoskeleton armor and walked in a neat procession to the snowfield square.
Their movements are uniform, the helmets they are equipped with are sharp triangles, like some kind of eagle owls, and the alchemy furnace behind them is very special, very different from the alchemy furnaces used in the empire, and the power is more stable.
These armors all have obvious psionic energy fluctuations, which are obviously a complete set of sublimation equipment.
Such extravagant equipment is obviously far beyond everyone's imagination, although the Yinfeng family does not have its own ether armament, but more than twenty sublimation armors can also be called 'heritage'.
Yes - this is the power that the Soul Cult and almost all the mountain people's dragon god beliefs have put together, but being able to integrate the mountain people is enough to prove the means of Earl Yinfeng.
In the surrounding stands, most of the expressions of non-imperial forces were amazed and emotional, while many imperial nobles showed different expressions on this.
Some people tried their best to suppress it, but they still felt like they had eaten something disgusting, and some people had a vague look of joy despite their expressionless faces.
For this Earl of Yinfeng, most of the imperial nobles felt incredible in their hearts - it had only been more than two years since he was awarded the knighthood, and it had only been more than a year since he was awarded the title of baron, and he had actually upgraded all the way to the line of fire, not only from the first to the third, but also from the baron to the earl.
Although in the follow-up, everyone also understands that this Earl of Silver Peak may have been trained by the First Knight since he was a child, and he has long been a first-level sublimator, and his spiritual ability is the Chosen Prophet, and it is natural that the path of sublimation is progressing quickly.
But the title is really enviable to too many people.
The titles of the empire were roughly divided into the local nobility of 'barons and viscounts', and the core nobility of 'counts and marquises'.
To put it simply, the baron is a nobleman who is responsible for managing a territory in a certain province, and the viscount is a frontier nobleman who has to take into account the development and confrontation of the natives and the Warcraft, and their duty is to be a grassroots official, but the division of labor is slightly different, and the viscount is relatively stronger because he needs more force.
The earl is the nobleman who is responsible for managing a key area in the empire, and the marquis is the great nobleman who garrisons the frontier. Large barons and viscounts.
The vast majority of nobles, after obtaining their titles, need to spend several generations to accumulate merits, improve their sublimated bloodline, deduce bloodline abilities through ether weapons, and develop territories to accumulate wealth...... In the end, there must be a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that he can be awarded a higher title.
But what about Ian?
The goblin bloodline originally originated from the First Knight, and it was extremely mature and did not need to be deduced at all.
The territory took the holy land of the mountain people in vain, and then subdued the mountain people, and it was picked up in vain.
The wealth of the last realm...... This is more difficult to understand, it feels like Ian made money to raise the territory by himself, accumulated the first pot of gold, and then began to develop rapidly, but in general, the prophet wants to make money, he can do anything!
"If I Were a Prophet......
"I'll do this kind of thing, I can do it!"
"Damn, isn't it just a good teacher? If I were also a disciple of the First Knight......"
"Where did this Ian get such a big face, why does everyone seem to want to make friends and invest in him?!"
This kind of thinking is endless, especially the nobles of Nanling, they are all barons and viscounts, and they are really unable to fight when they encounter the expansion of the territory of Ian, the earl, even if they suffer losses, they can only swallow their anger.
In their hearts, they really wish Ian had died sooner.
But they didn't dare to show it on the surface.
Because, those 'messengers' around Ian are even more heavyweight.
Deputy Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Truth, the bloodline of the fourth level 'Fuyue Shanpeng', Count Im Dale Zaev.
True dragon 'King of the Mountain' Amok Nosdil. True Dragon 'Freedom Mentor' Scarletseymore.
The City of Learning, Lord of the Iron Spire, Romani Iron Melt.
And a red killer whale!
Yes, the messenger of the Fairy Township of Falling Star City, Frozen Fish Silent Frost, after successfully defeating a number of competitors, once again successfully got the opportunity to travel at public expense and came to the Xiahui Territory!
But this time, because Supervisor Gan Song got the research funding, she didn't come.
And Birch and Frost Butterfly both ride on the Frozen Fish Mentor and happily ride the fish to fly.
The three goblins flew around in mid-air with several other goblins who had also seized the opportunity to travel, very much like fluttering moths, but no one dared to say more.
It's not for any other reason - let alone goblins, even if it's a real big fluttering moth, flying around at the speed of sound, who would dare to speak?
In addition, Viscount Grant's family and Marquis Barton's family were also there, and Elder Pud also brought Elan - the core members of the Ian family, except for the shark shark and the blue pupil, who could only soak in the sea, everyone who should have come.
The eldest prince Carlos originally wanted to come, after all, with the power of actinization, it didn't take him two seconds to go back and forth, but as a big man in the royal family, he still didn't want to appear at the groundbreaking ceremony in this kind of place, and his style was too high and easy to dominate.
Although no one came, he still wrote a letter with his own hand, congratulating the Chongling Sect on the right track.
"This is just the beginning."
Ian stood on a high platform in the center and looked down on the members of the Cult of Soulfulness in the square, and while he raised his hand to signal the start of the next move, he said to the Deputy Minister at his side, Count Iam, "Next, the Cult will prove that it has indeed mastered all the skills required by the local Orthodox Church. ”
"I'll see."
Earl Imu was a middle-aged man with gray hair and red eyes, and a kind face—at least he had always been very kind to Ian.
He was a friend of Master Gosai and one of the supporters of the Grand Prince.
However, his kindness to Ian is not only because of the favor of his friends or the importance of several princes and daughters to Ian...... The reason why the deputy minister of the Imperial Confidential Department was kind to Ian was because he had seen the fruits of various reforms centered on Xiahui City.
He saw the well-made canned food, the food factories that operated 24 hours a day, and he saw the people living happily, happily and safely in this land.
-- When people gain knowledge, they will not only become a factor of social instability...... Can they also participate in more efficient social production......
- The knowledge popularized by His Majesty (Axel) may be to create such a society.
He didn't say much, and Count Imu watched in silence, but when he looked at the high-spirited young lord in front of him, his already old heart throbbed a little for the first time in a long time.
Industrial upgrading, technological progress, social reform, and civilization promotion...... He had heard all these words, seen them all, and fantasized about them.
It has also failed.
So......
- The world that the emperor dreamed of, after success, even if it was just a territory, maybe this is the case?
More vibrant, happier and happier......
He didn't know the answer. So he'll go and see.
"Let's go!"
With an order, with Ian's gesture, the Soul Cult exoskeleton armor alchemy furnace on the Snow Field Square began to operate at full capacity—the exoskeleton armor pieces on their backs suddenly stood up and bloomed in turn, while the surface of the black inscription gradually turned golden red, and the twenty-two alchemy furnace cores became the twenty-two field base points, and they activated the even greater array located below the Snow Frost Sky Square.
Buzz –
At this moment, as the entire heaven and earth shook slightly, invisible ripples began to spread around the center of the square.
All the spectators on the high platform who participated in the groundbreaking ceremony, including those of the nobles and the sublimators, whether they had been interested or bored before, raised their heads and stared at the center of the square with burning eyes.
There, with the four 'priests' in the center as the core, an incomparably strong golden-red spiritual energy glow lit up, and the entire spiritual energy field of the Great Snow Dome was affected by these inscription arrays, and the visible spiritual light converged from all directions, finally forming a vortex that slowly rotated directly above the square.
And in the center of this whirlpool, a streamer suddenly bloomed, falling straight into the middle of the huge inscription array.
Four psionics who are unleashing the 'Shelter Psionic Energy' with all their might are in the middle!
Ian also watched the scene with a solemn expression.
Among the four psionics who were releasing the sheltering psionic energy, the leader was none other than Miles, and the other three were the three people who were most suitable for the sheltering psionic energy from the entire Silver Peak Territory.
Ian guided them to awaken the corresponding spiritual energy, and now, they have to use their own power to activate the foundation of this future 'Frost Sky Dome', the super giant shelter circle 'Frost Sky Blessing' that covers most of the snow top!
With the Heart of Terra as the mediator, the mutual resonance amplification, its effect is completely enough to activate, and Ian has predicted success, but when it comes to reality, he is still a little excited.
Because only now that he succeeds, many future plans can be carried out in order.
Fortunately, as the natural psionic field resonated with the inscription circle, the golden-red protective shield expanded, enveloping the entire square, the high platforms around the square, and even the dragon bone peak behind the high platform.
From a distance, it looks like a golden-red semicircle enveloping the snow-white snow-capped mountains and plains.
For a moment, the heavy snow stopped, as all the flakes of snow were dispersed by the protective shield.
The groundbreaking ceremony was a success.
"Remarkable, the psionic aura of these four psionics is exactly the same...... The Soul Cult has really mastered the spiritual energy inheritance, and it is also a rare 'shelter class'! ”
"Although it is advantageous in terms of location, the strength of this shelter spiritual energy is very high, have you noticed it? Within this psionic range, I feel like my physical fitness has become stronger? ”
"It also has its own effect of enhancing the friendly side? In this way, even if the shield is broken, the enhanced physical fitness will be able to block the attack! ”
But how does it distinguish between friend and foe? Is it said that it is strengthened internally? ”
"This is probably the internal secret of the Chongling Sect, no matter what, the Chongling Sect is really not to be underestimated!"
Everyone present was amazed.
From the very beginning, when the Chongling Sect showed its new exoskeleton armor design that was different from other forces, they vaguely understood that this sect was not one of those small sects that just cheated some mountain and village husbands out of money, it was really a local great sect that had mastered the core technology and was ruling one side!
And the Earl of Yinfeng, as expected, is worthy of his name, and he will definitely be a new legend in the future!
Although theoretically, the construction of the Frost Sky Dome, the protagonist of this groundbreaking ceremony, has not yet begun, but just by this square and the performance of the Cult of Spirits, no one doubts whether they can succeed in building it - everyone thinks, I am going to show goodwill now, is it still too late?
"That's it."
But someone still commented sourly: "These exoskeleton armors are just toys, and if they really encounter armor, they will be crushed." As for this shelter dome, in the final analysis, it can only be defended, and when the defense is broken, the people inside should not be able to defeat it. ”
To their opinion, Ian's opinion is: 'They were right!' ’。 Exoskeleton armor is indeed inferior to armor, the main thing is that it is cheap and easy to popularize...... But that's not what really matters.
It's these exoskeletons, and some other combat humanoids...... They are all high-powered high-precision weapons that can be unmanned, and are loaded with more and more powerful, which ordinary people simply cannot use.
Even if it is not directly controlled by the Heart of Terra, but only assisted by the Heart of Terra, all soldiers wearing these exoskeleton armor can be the same as the 'Auxiliary Aiming System', one hit at a time, no different from a bullet turn.
Even if a soldier is injured and unconscious, these exoskeletons can bring people back to the base to heal!
Intelligent core plus information system.
This is Ian's real hole card.
But it's at this time.
Ian suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, his brow furrowed, his gaze solemn.
A few seconds later, the Marquis of Batun also frowned slightly, and took out a crystal plate from his arms. The old marquis's eyes widened after scanning the contents above, obviously the information above made him feel extremely stunned.
"Ian."
The old man beckoned softly, "Something has happened......
"I know ......"
Ian whispered, "Someone is trying to attack Xiahui City, and I have already set up a shelter circle over there, so theoretically there will be no accidents...... But they chose this time very well, obviously there are no spies in my city, how did they get the situation at the groundbreaking ceremony? ”
"Huh? Has Xiahui City also been attacked? ”
But the Marquis of Batun was slightly stunned, and he said solemnly: "No, I'm not talking about this - Ian, Nauman City has been attacked!" ”
"It's not all...... Isa Territory, Ponia, Lal Territory...... At present, more than five territories in the entire South Ridge have been attacked by sudden large-scale attacks! ”
"Taking advantage of the fact that the leaders of the South Ridge are gathered on the top of the snow this time, the Flying Flame Land Special Combat Team has launched a general attack on the South Ridge!"
This time, Ian was slightly stunned: "The entire Nanling? ”
No.
And it's not just the whole South Ridge.
A few minutes later, Count Imu also received a communication, and his color changed slightly after reading the content, and even a big man like him with a deep city government could not hold back his emotions.
"Ian." He approached and whispered, "There's something big." ”
- Flameland has launched an all-out attack.
Not in the fall, but earlier.
At this time that everyone did not expect, the Flying Flame Land united with the Steep Ridge Fortress and pressed forward from the northwest double front to launch a full-scale attack on the Empire.
Although the Heavenly Court in the east is still fighting with Ganttrigham and Canaan Moore, the powerful Royal Court will definitely be able to dispatch a mobile fleet to attack the Eastern Front in a few days.
The Empire is about to be flanked.
As the rear of the South Ridge, it suffered an extraordinary surprise attack.
A devastating productivity breakdown.
"My territory?!"
"What, Flamelands? How can it be? I obviously ......"
"Damn, they lied to me!?"
Soon, the other imperial nobles also got the news in turn, and their faces changed suddenly, and even some of them turned purple.
Moreover, from the words of some people, it can be vaguely heard that these nobles have been more or less connected to the Flying Flame Land in the past...... But now is not the time to pursue this.
Explosions, suicide bombs, plague biological raids, and elite squads cutting off energy and water supplies, dispersing poison gas bombs and various chemical weapons in civilian areas......
Agents of the Flamelands of Southridge, after a year of silence, launched an unprecedented combat operation behind enemy lines.
Although the Silver Peak Collar is like an iron wall that can't penetrate at all, but the other small nobles and knights' manors are really random attacks and raids, and it is impossible for anyone to react.
In just a few minutes, the loss of information received by the noble lords could make them feel like they were in cardiac arrest...... And the most terrifying are the nobles who did not receive reports of damage.
They were a little glad at first, but their faces were as white as snow on the ice field.
Because according to the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for the attack of the Flying Flame Land to miss anyone, and the reason why there is no news about their territory is not because there is no attack, but because it is ...... The attack was too horrific.
Their territory is no longer able to communicate with the outside world.
"Ian, what's going on?"
The envoys from other countries now had a rough idea of the current situation, and most of them looked unhappy, some of them were nervous, and they were afraid of being involved.
It is not easy for them to directly intervene in the head-on dispute between the two countries, and the true dragon and the goblins also have their eyes on Ian.
Although it is said that neither the true dragon nor the goblins will meddle in the disputes between humans...... But Ian can be a human, a dragon, and a goblin, and if he really needs help, even if he doesn't take action head-on, both the King of the Mountain and the Frozen Fish Mentor are willing to help.
But Ian didn't speak.
At this time, you must not speak. He is an imperial nobleman and the future leader of Nanling, and in the war between the empire and the Flying Flame Land, he must not rashly open his mouth and let other inhuman forces take action.
In this regard, he must be a pure Imperialist in order to be trusted by all parties in the Empire.
Not to mention, only if he handled this attack as a pure imperial nobleman, would the Silver Peak Collar and the Spirit Cult not be looked down upon.
"I'll take care of it myself."
So, the Prophet took a deep breath and flew into the sky.
Above the top of the snow, the power of the entire psionic field was vibrated by Ian's actions—with the full force of the 'Fairy Ian' located in the center of Ian's body, the ice-blue water essentia erupted from his body and turned into a pair of flying wings.
The clouds of snow were crumpled and condensed by his power, and finally turned into two whirlpools of snow that roared like turbine engines.
Boom - The huge, alien-shaped vortex wings urged, and Ian showed the full strength of the third-level goblin, and the power of heaven and earth converged on his body, and he harnessed this natural ice tide comparable to a great blizzard, and hurried towards the direction of Xiahui City.
And behind him, as the true dragons and goblins looked at each other.
Ian's companions followed, flying up and following Ian.
Soon.
As he flies at supersonic speeds, Ian will soon be able to see the city of glow, and the 'crisis' that the city is now facing.
It was an empty boat.
An empty ship that is falling, towards the very center of the city!
This is the crisis that Ian foresaw a few months ago - a crisis that even if it was foreseen, it was difficult to know what it was, and when it was discovered, it was unstoppable!
An airship filled with fuel, falling from thousands of meters in the air, containing countless hostages!
One, enough to destroy half a city's meteorite bomb!
