Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 97 The Watcher
The viscous and cold air before dawn was filled with surging blizzard and howling winds, and the far north of early winter was filled with a biting chill, and the sharp chill was like a ghost's cold claws, gently caressing every inch of skin exposed to the air, and the violent cold snap brought a vague pain.
The wind and the blizzard filled the sky and the earth were boundless darkness, the most oppressive darkness before dawn, suffocating and heavy.
The Angel defenders in Mithril armor were accustomed to the cold and abyssal depression of the desperate situation, and even though the violent storm blew clear blood marks on their faces, they still stood indifferently at their posts, holding silver spears majestically, like weathered statues, forever looking at the dark and dreary side, no matter how fierce the wind and snow could not obscure their vision. The fiery red battle flag burned above their heads, blazing and majestic, silently proclaiming the prosperity and inviolability of this thousand-year-old country.
A faint ripple suddenly rippled inadvertently in the turbid darkness, followed by a sharp and piercing grinding sound faintly heard from the rolling darkness depths, like the sound of countless metal blades frantically cutting through the ground.
The high-pitched, maddening noise was mixed with a clear rumbling sound, dullly like the breath of some kind of large demonic beast, and this mixed sound was not muffled by the howling wind, but became clearer and more harsh, as if a tsunami of destruction was surging from the far side of the darkness, with a heavy killing intent despising the fragile and pitiful little life.
The huge sound of approaching was accompanied by a faint tremor of the ground, from far and near, at an unbelievable speed, constantly approaching the city of Neptune, and an unprecedented crisis was quietly converging under the dark night.
In the dark sky, the huge and monstrous monster is slowly lifting the dark veil, and with a loud and sharp roar, it can't wait to reveal its hideous and terrifying face, its blood is greedy, bloodthirsty, and violent, and its bones are full of killing, blood, and hatred. Two scarlet points of light suddenly lit up from the darkness in front of them, like the eyes of a giant beast from ancient times slowly opened, and the endless blood rolling in the pupils made it look full of evil and ultimate power, like an evil god bathed in the blood-colored sun, gradually revealing its steel-hard body......
"It's ...... What is this?" a soldier defending the city looked at the other side, his pupils finally couldn't help but tremble violently, his face that had been eroded by the wind and snow was extremely resolute, and his frightened voice was drowned out in the howling wind and sharp mechanical noise, even another soldier who was only ten paces away from him could only vaguely hear his hoarse roar, but even if he couldn't hear what he was shouting, the other soldier knew that the imminent danger was constantly approaching.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" An even louder roar came from behind the soldiers, and the sturdy officer standing straight at the top of the watchtower, the cloth robe under the Mithril armor wrapped in the strong muscles of the rock-like bulge, he angrily struck the bronze bell in front of him with the wooden mallet hanging above his head, and the bronze bell rang loudly and mournfully, and the long echo shook all the noise and sent it into the distance like a ripple, and the whole Neptune reverberated with this melodious but extremely sad sound。
It was a prelude to war and killing......
The huge monster finally revealed its true face in the darkness, it was as majestic and precipitous as a moving hill, the shell covered with metallic luster looked like a huge piece of cold armor in the flickering scarlet light, flickering with a cold and indifferent cold light, enveloping this monster that looked taller than the ancient city wall, like a huge warship traveling on the ground, the sharp side of the ship was like a long sword that cut through the night sky, the huge hull was like a steep and straight mountain, and the two flickering points of light came from the magic crystal cannons placed on the edges of both sides of the deck......
This metal monster is the supreme mechanical masterpiece of the United Empire of Bhakda, [Constantine]!
Finally appeared in front of the world, with an evil aura that could destroy everything......
In the muzzle of the black hole was a surging scarlet fire, the blood-colored fire was getting brighter and stronger, and some kind of terrible power was constantly accumulating, and a sense of oppression more terrible than the raging blizzard was invisibly enveloped in the air, making the surrounding space stagnate and oppressive bit by bit, as if the air had increased its weight countless times in vain, weighing heavily on everyone's shoulders.
"It's all ready, Major General!" On the deck of [Konstantin], the young black-clothed soldier said respectfully behind Karthas, he slightly held up the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and under the dark lenses were a pair of cunning eyes, looking at the ancient city wall with fiery red flags in the distance with a cheetah-like gaze, and the topless angels with wings could be faintly seen in the flags burning like flames, "Do you want to attack Neptune immediately?"
"Then ...... Destroy the watchtower first!" Karthas said after a pause, his face blank, "and smash open the gates of Osland......"
The face of the defending officer still maintained a steely and indifferent expression, he still kept shaking the mallet hanging above his head and striking the bronze ancient bell fiercely, his deep eyes gradually reflected the ever-expanding firelight, but he did not show the slightest timidity and retreat, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was laughing silently......
The firelight did not swell to the extent that it filled the whole heavens and the earth, it was launched from the pitch-black and cold cannon chamber, like a meteor piercing the sky, straight and savagely tearing a trace of flame in the night sky, it tore through the night sky, boiled the blizzard, and with a magma-like scorching breath, it headed towards the solitary lookout tower that stood alone in the night......
But in the eyes of the officers defending the city, the meteorite-like fire was constantly expanding, constantly expanding, expanding to fill his narrow eyes, expanding enough to swallow all the darkness, and all that was left in his sight was the bronze ancient bell and the fire that filled the heavens and the earth, and a moment ago it was the cold wind howling in winter, and it was instantly overwhelmed by the hot and scorching waves, and even the Mithril armor he was wearing was gradually distorted and deformed in the instantly higher temperature, and beads of sweat poured out of his forehead densely, and then turned into water vapor and disappeared into the air silently in an instant。 But he still did not stop the gavel in his hand, and his face was still resolute like a weather-beaten mountain in the brighter and brighter light of the fire, without any fear or sorrow......
The blazing flame quickly burned the bronze bell, and the bell did not resist the devastating flames, nor did it shatter in response, but slowly melted like cold ice meets boiling water......
The sound of an explosion resounded in a blazing light, and the raging blizzard was blown away by the shock wave that shook in an instant, and in the dazzling and bewitching firelight, the entire dark city of Neptune was illuminated as if it were under the blood-colored sun. The watchtower seemed to be piled up of sand, and disappeared without a trace in the powerful explosion, along with the huge bronze ancient bell, and even the debris and debris seemed to have not been left behind, and even the wall under the tower was melted out of a small hole, and there was still a red liquid left by the explosion around the hole, and a large amount of white smoke came out of the "sizzle", which looked viscous and turbid like hot magma, constantly wriggling and eroding slowly.
"Anti-...... Fight back!" A soldier struggled to get up from the ground, he was still some distance from the watchtower, so he was not swallowed up by the explosion just now, but he witnessed the soldier standing under the watchtower being swallowed by the raging flames like the waves of the sea, the soldier was the twin brother who grew up with him, and at the last moment of the soldier's life, he tried extremely hard to twist his head, just to take one last look at the brother who was connected by blood, but the waves that swept over were too turbulent, and the reflection in his eyes was only the wreckage that had been reduced to ashes, but before he had time to cry, before he could grieve, the hurricane-like shock wave swept him and smashed backwards......
"Fight back, all the city guards fight back!"
More Angel soldiers poured out from the corridors on the other side of the wall, armed with cold mechanical crossbows, black iron longbows, and crystal fires, and the gunners quickly filled the outermost row of ancient crystal cannons with crystal bullets.
These ancient and cumbersome weapons are defective products developed and concocted from the products eliminated by the United Empire of Bacda, and the magic crystal cannon equipped on the [Constantine] is not at all a level thing, whether it is range, accuracy, Although the Oslan Empire has dominated the continent for thousands of years, it is known as the most powerful magic empire, with a legion of magicians second to none, but this new type of magic weapon that combines machinery and energy is not Oslan's strong point, which is also an important reason for the rapid rise of the Bacset United Empire, because it has completely surpassed all the countries on the continent in this field called science and technology, and even far above all countries, even the strongest Oslan Empire can only be seen in the dust。
It is precisely because of this that they believe that their advanced technological power is enough to subvert the ancient army of magicians.
It was also the first shot they had to take on the ancient magical system!
