After entering the middle of the glory calendar.

A combination of magic and mechanics.

It has promoted the productivity of the Old World civilization to achieve a qualitative leap, so that the Old World civilization has entered the period of magical industrial civilization from feudal civilization.

this era.

The development of the productive forces has brought about a transformation in the relations of production.

There is a great division of labor in occupations.

All kinds of new machinery are driving the emergence of new jobs.

At the same time, let the new factory aristocracy appear.

They abandoned the old mode of production, which relied on land as a means of production.

Instead, they are more active in the use of more productive magic machines.

In this way, more industrial products can be produced.

In the beginning, it was mainly the honorary nobles who did not have a territory.

By producing industrial goods, they became the first industrial aristocrats to become wealthy.

Attracted by great wealth, the royal family, the traditional landed aristocracy joined the ranks.

They have more money, more manpower to build bigger factories.

The things produced by these factories can also be exported to the City of Fashen.

And the transformation of the Law God City has made these magic machines more advanced.

The two form a virtuous circle.

In the Old World, a large number of new magical industrial states began to appear.

They have money and backers.

But the status is not comparable to that of the great powers on Middle-earth.

As a result, the ambitions of these countries have also begun to swell after economic development.

They appeared in addition to the active use of magic machinery to improve production.

They also began to use more advanced weaponry provided by the mages to arm their armies.

And it just so happened at this time.

Fashen City's secondary plane exploration plan failed.

The Dharma God Tower, which entered the heterotopic plane, lost contact again.

There were even strange gods descending.

The City of the Gods had to unite with the gods of the Ring Throne to forcibly close all the exploration planes.

to prevent the powerful alien god from descending on the Old World.

But for this, there is also a huge price.

Many mages who explored and mined in the Otherworldly Plane have since lost contact with the City of the Law God.

The City of the Gods of Law has lost a large number of outstanding talents, countless floating cities, and the Tower of the Gods.

Strength fell by 2/3.

There is also a steady stream of resources to supply the Law God City and train new mages.

After losing these, the Law God City also signed an agreement to stop plane exploration indefinitely.

The gods of the Annular Divine Throne began to have the strength to sit on an equal footing with the Law God City.

And that is, with the change of strength.

The civilizations of the Old World began to test the City of Fashen.

Especially the powerhouses of Middle-earth.

They are the earthly agents of the gods on the Ring Throne.

The gods no longer have reverence for the mage, and after feedback, it is the Middle Earth of the Old World that has begun to lose their reverence for the mage of the City of the Law God.

Face this situation.

Fashen City, which had suffered a heavy loss of strength, did not think of a good way in a short period of time.

You can only choose to temporarily shrink your strength.

Watch and see what happens.

It was also during this time period that there was a split within the Law God City.

Lost source of thorns on the heterotopic plane.

In addition, many of the traditional spheres of influence of the Law God City were swallowed by various countries.

Some mage schools have lost funding for research.

They turned to finding new collaborators.

The first of these mage schools to find were those countries that had developed through the magic industry.

They have a need for all kinds of magical machines.

However, with the advancement of cooperation between the two sides.

These countries began to raise the need for more advanced magical weapons.

So far.

The magic crystal gun, which was originally only in the Law God City, began to circulate.

Even many are weakened castrated versions.

But it's still powerful.

The power of these countries, which have been given magic weapons, has begun to skyrocket.

Some of them even have the strength to challenge the powerhouses of Middle-earth.

A war that has engulfed the entire Old Continent has begun to brew.

What they are missing is a fuse.

And in that era, the suppression of the countries of the entire continent by absolute force by the mages was lost.

A large number of territorial disputes began to arise in various countries of the world.

There is no shortage of triggers for war.

An accident led to a war between two small marginal countries in the Eastern Continent.

And the war between these two small countries was immediately promoted by people with good intentions.

It began to be radicalized, first with the assassination of members of the royal family.

Then the defeated side swept the surrounding countries into the fold.

And then the cycle repeats.

Until!

The countries of the entire Old World were involved.

With this, the largest war of the Glory Era broke out.

This war is comparable to a new round of race war.

It fought wars for a hundred years.

The destruction of countless countries is incalculable, and the damage caused to the civilization of the Old World is incalculable.

It is said that more than a thousand people have been killed in battle at the demigod level alone, not to mention the powerhouses of legendary strength.

However, the war succeeded in weakening the countries on the continent.

Whether it's a new magical industrial power, or a traditional Middle-earth power.

All suffered heavy losses in this war.

The emerging magical industrial powers were almost completely wiped out.

There are no gods behind them, and the high-end combat power is lost.

And the powerhouses of Middle-earth, a large number of elite legions were killed by the magic crystal gun in this war, and the demigod family, which had been inherited for thousands of years, was wiped out one after another under the magic crystal cannon, and it took nearly five hundred years to recover.

Even the gods have been seriously injured by the full-powered magic crystal cannon.

It can be said that both sides of the war lost in the end.

But there will be no losers in a war.

There has to be a winner.

And as the winner, it is not either side in the war.

It's the Fashen City that lies down and wins in the war.

Because through the war.

Whether it is a Middle-earth power or a magical industrial country, they have seen the strength of magic weapons.

The gods on the Ring Throne found them and exchanged their neutrality for a great price.

But it spent a lot of resources and bought magic weapons.

And the Fashen City sold weapons at both ends in the war.

They were surprised to find that through the war, they had become warmongers on the continent.

At the same time, it also made Fashen City the richest place in the old continent.

These materials obtained in the war were enough to supply the various schools of the Law God City to squander for hundreds of years.

And it was also from then on that Fashen City began to rely on mage associations in various places.

Sell weapons to all corners of the Old World civilization.

And with the sale of these weapons, the way the countries of the Old World fought their wars changed dramatically.

It should be said that in the process of cannibalism within the civilization of the Old World this time.

The rules of war have long since quietly changed.

The former hoplites were replaced by the Fabricated Infantry.

The archers were replaced by the Crystal Spear Infantry Regiment.

The Heavy Knights are replaced by the Knights in the Heavy Armor of the Demon Emblem.

At the same time, the subsequent appearance of the magic crystal cannon that can move quickly has made great changes in the tactics of various countries.

The power of the magic crystal cannon is enough to turn all attacks into powder, even if it is a demigod, after being locked by the magic crystal cannon group, it will fall immediately.

However, the Crystal Cannon moves slowly, fires slowly, and is easy to be raided.

Make it an easy target.

In times of war, a large number of legends, demigod professional powerhouses.

was formed into a raid legion to attack these magic crystal cannon groups.

Therefore, the tactics of hiding the magic crystal cannon position and defending the counterattack are the norm for all countries.

After the great battle of the Glory Calendar, the legion.

They all have one obvious characteristic.

The Crystal Cannon Position is forever hidden in a place unknown to the enemy.

It is only used as a last resort.

And once used.

After three attacks, all the crystal cannons immediately shifted their positions.

In case of being hit by the enemy's elite legions.

After all, as a transcendent civilization, concentrating transcendents, it would be easy to raid them.

Hence on the battlefield.

Crystal cannons tend to survive for a short period of time after their location is exposed.

And it was during this time.

The Crystal Cannon needs to complete a quick transfer.

In case of decapitation, especially if the enemy has an air legion.

So.

When the Crystal Cannon of the Northern Frontier is fired.

The commanding general shouted without hesitation.

"Quick!"

"Start the machinery, and the whole army immediately moves to the second position."

"If you don't run again, the enemy's flying group will come."

The commander's voice echoed across the battlefield.

But just when the mechanical frame of the magic crystal cannon was put away and began to stand up.

Suddenly.

A red shadow appeared on the ground.

"What is this?"

"It's so beautiful to look like red clouds, that is, before the fog invaded, I could only see such a beautiful scenery, I really miss it."

"Strange, in the Age of Mist, how can there be red clouds?"

On the magic crystal cannon position, all the people raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Over there.

I don't know when, a red cloud appeared.

And immediately after.

Huge waves roll in the clouds.

It's like a dragon swimming in the middle.

"It's beautiful."

"It's like the dance of the Red Dragon Queen."

Someone suddenly said with emotion.

In the days of the Old World, there was once a red dragon from the arrival of Dragon Island, and he performed a graceful dance in Gondor.

In the later period of the Glory Calendar, cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups were still quite frequent.

Even small, remote countries will be treated with the respect they deserve.

And just when the owner of this voice was still nostalgic for the red dragon dance in the old continent era.

The red cloud changed.

Suddenly, it spread in all directions.

It's just a matter of seconds.

A large red cloud enveloped the entire mountain range.

This moment.

The legions, including those fighting on the small plains, also stopped fighting and looked at the red sky.

At this time, in the mountains, Yassi, who was guarding his position, looked at the red clouds that spread to his side.

He suddenly remembered what it was.

He immediately shouted in horror.

"Withdraw~"

"Retreat."

"It's a forbidden spell."

"It's Lilith's forbidden spell!"

Assis roared hoarsely.

All the griffon knights, under his command, ran for their lives beyond the red clouds.

Wait until the moment when Assis has just stepped into the range of the red cloud.

Behind him.

A loud "boom" was heard.

Assis turned his head to look.

Endless fiery meteors fall from the sky.

It's like a rain of fire.

The dense fire meteors, carrying terrifying power, smashed the mountain range.

The fire meteor smashed into the ground, and the shock wave it brought directly blew the griffon knight at the edge hundreds of meters away.

Even Yasis retreated dozens of meters before he could stabilize his figure.

"Lilith~"

"This time, the energy of the fire meteor for seven days was concentrated into one day and burst out."

"It's terrifying."

"Don't say it's a legend, even if a demigod comes over, it's a death."

"This group of enemies!"

"It's over!!"

"Even this mountain range!"

"I'm afraid it's over!!"
