Chapter 492: A Nightmare That Can't Be Shaken Off
"Is that all there is to Mithril and Adamantite? It's not enough to even make a suit of armor. Sehireu looked at the two small wooden boxes, which were similar to the jewelry boxes he was using now, frowning, and said a little dissatisfied.
"That's all there is to it, Captain Moore. Mithril and Adamantite, sacred metals! Iron and copper are not available everywhere. Also, who in this world is so local that they would make armor out of pure Mithril and pure gold? Isn't it all used in alloys? Major Legan, as a treasury officer, could not help but cry out, as if a small bureaucrat at the grassroots level had been seized by the leader who came down to inspect him, and seemed to have completely forgotten that he himself was the leader in terms of age and rank.
Sai Xiliu did not raise the bar, but pursed his lips and calculated: "...... Anyway, the bronze you moved should be enough, oh, and so many gold and silver ingots? Where did you find this? ”
Her eyes stopped again on the pile of shiny gold and silver things.
"Gold and silver are always better than bronze for the sake of demonic conduction...... Major Horgan's words flickered a little, revealing a stiff wry smile. He is a man in the prime of life in his mid-35s. As a magician, at this age, he is still only in this position, which somewhat shows his mediocrity. However, this is also a character who is so detailed that he even has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is very consistent with his identity as a warehouse manager. Usually such people are very suitable for transactional work, but they generally lack courage and commitment, and can move all the precious metals in the warehouse under psychological pressure, which is basically an unprecedented life.
"Wait, these are the most important military funds in the whole army! After the victory, the three armies were rewarded. After arriving in Black Manchester City, he bought food nearby to appease the people. They must use large sums of gold and silver. Major Legan, how dare you mess around at will!? "Being present is the highest. Lieutenant General Reeves, who had just been fooled, said loudly. Of course, he is a prisoner, so he naturally knows the inside story.
"Victory? Your Excellency, the time has come, please be more pragmatic. The rebuttal general was naturally not Seyleu, but Colonel Milnat, who had just fooled him over. He is a man in his early 40s, and his personal temperament feels like a cowherd in a nightclub dedicated to female customers, or a veteran playboy who has seen through the cynicism of the red dust for half his life in the flowers of the party. In short, it doesn't look like a serious soldier.
Normally, this kind of character is often a hidden boss in the lore. Unfortunately, Sehireu felt that this was unlikely. After getting along for a while, she can be sure that this guy is a typical waste playboy who has no ability to do anything and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
"Huh, nonsense! How could the main fleet of the Federation, the Federation, fail? Now it's a trap. It's just a disadvantage for the time being! As a noble magician and a federal officer, how can you think like that! Rear Admiral Reeves patted the ship's board and retorted. It's a pity that the voice is too low, the words are weak, and it is really not convincing.
Colonel Milnatt whistled flirtatiously. Sai Xiliu sighed helplessly, and his eyes sank: "So." The subordinate officials acted like this in order to reverse the situation and achieve victory! Excellency. My alchemy circle has been drawn, can I activate it? ”
Sehira's words sounded like he was asking for orders, but his tone was simply a statement of the facts, and Major General Reeves's eyes widened in choking, and it took several seconds before he hesitated, "But what kind of circle are you going to activate?" ”
"Use this metal to refine a small channel, connect to this magic crystal cannon...... Then, the energy of the magic crystal cannon is transferred from the Tisru core to us. Sehireu gritted his teeth and looked back at the pale officers around him. They are all magicians, and if they don't know what Sehireu wants to do, they should go to school one by one.
“…… This, this is simply whimsical! It took nearly half a minute for Major General Reeves to break free from his consternation, and his first reaction was to keep shaking his head, and his voice was a little angry: "Captain Moore, ah no, Miss Sehilius, you know ......"
Seyriliu interrupted the general's almost hysterical speech in a loud voice: "I know that the magic power required to fire a type of magic crystal cannon like Thor's Hammer is not something that a small two-star magician of mine can provide, so this is not what will arrest you...... Uh, did you invite everyone over? ”
"That's not the biggest problem! Mainly, firing a magic crystal weapon of this caliber requires a split second to hit and release the magic power, how high is the strength requirement for the magic guide circuit? You don't know, do you? Once it can't withstand the pressure of such magic and collapses, the magic power in it will be released in the most violent way, and the destructive power will not be less than the Tisru nuclear explosion! And, and ......"
"And it's more likely that our bodies exploded first, right?" Sai Xiliu looked at the general's eyes, until the other party was forced to shift his gaze in a little panic, and then he replied calmly: "Don't worry, although this magic circle was drawn by everyone together, I am the host, and the temporary magic guide circuit is also refined by me, even if it is going to explode, my body will explode first!" When the time comes, if everyone sees me exploding, they can run away. ”
Seyriliu's voice was very calm, and it was because it was so calm that it seemed to be describing a fact that seemed to have nothing to do with him, which made the hearts of those present palpitate even more.
They somewhat understood why they were given orders by a little girl whose age and class were far inferior to them.
"Of course, if you don't want to, I have no choice but to ...... Each of them is voluntary. Sehireu hesitated. After all, she couldn't say things like Lu Xi without changing her face, "Use your fists to get you to agree", so she had to sigh silently, trying to make her expression look more bold.
If only you were here...... Maybe, maybe, this stupid war won't turn out to be what it is now.
Sehireux sighed bitterly.
I don't know if Sai Xiliu finally succeeded in "convincing people with virtue". All in all, all the officers present couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Then I thought of the wolf-type alchemy puppet that was killing all sides on the deck of the ship. After a long time, Major Sakka suddenly stood upright. Said seriously: "Willing to fight to the death for you, ah no, willing to fight to the death for the Federation!" ”
He and Captain Shireen were the youngest in the room, both twenty-four or five years old, the others had been in the system for a long time, more or less bureaucratic foresight, and Captain Shireen was a woman. This kind of person is actually the most easily fooled, no, the most aspiring young man who is most likely to throw his head and spill his blood for the sake of righteousness!
"Thank you." Sehireu expressed his gratitude with a reserved attitude, but the sincerity in his words was full. In such a general trend. Naturally, the rest of the people had nothing to say, and although Major General Reeves nervously muttered something that only he could hear clearly, he finally did not continue to object.
It took everyone nearly ten minutes to complete the docking of the magic guide circuit from alchemy and the magic array. The eyes of the people present suddenly became a little bigger, after all, they are all officially qualified magicians, and naturally they have a little alchemy skills, just look at the complex structure of this magic circle and circuit to know its depth. Major General Reeves swallowed even more secretly. He actually had some accomplishments in potions and alchemy, and he usually thought highly of himself, describing most of the battlemages of the Federation Army who majored in sculpting magic as "barbarians among magicians".
But even so. He also had to reluctantly admit that this young girl, at least in alchemy, had far surpassed himself.
It seems that she doesn't rely entirely on her background. Well, no, it's the eldest lady who is focused on cultivating by powerful and wealthy families. That's how strong and decisive you are. Look at the staff that people use, and then look at the other magic tools that people use. And the wolf puppet...... The second master of the Reeves family doesn't have such benefits.
As a high-ranking officer born in the aristocracy, Major General Reeves's background belongs to that kind of level that is neither high nor low. I only know that this twenty-year-old girl has her abilities, but the more specific circumstances are not known. It's just this "I don't know" that a military-style politician like Mr. Major General who mixes seniority in the army, or a politician-style soldier is more cautious about her, if she is really a civilian-born "first-generation nouveau riche" (referring to the first-generation magician with no background and no teacher), the second master of his dignified Reeves family will not be so polite.
At this time, it was indeed the first generation of nouveau riche, but because of his relationship with Lu Xi, he was mistaken for Sai Xiliu, who had an "unfathomable background", and had already begun to command the artillerymen to erect the main body of the magic crystal cannon on the stairs.
"It's up to you again." Sehireu said to the young gunner. Only now did she know that the senior sergeant major's name was Frings.
"We may only have one chance." Sehireu took a deep breath and said, "If you can't hit, you know ......"
"Then we're done." Sergeant Major Frings crossed his waist and showed a hearty and calm smile: "Miss Captain, I was born as an old gunner, I have played with the scorpion crossbow and stone crossbow on the sea ship, the flame crossbow and the magic crystal cannon on the floating ship, and I have played it enough to be old enough." As a result, he became the crew of this Nahibia in a daze, controlled the guns of Thor's hammer, and participated in such a large-scale battle, as a warrior, he actually has no regrets. was originally going to retire after this battle, but until now, this big guy hasn't even fired a shot. You can't say anything, right? I would also like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. ”
Sehireu took a deep look at the old gunner. At that moment, she suddenly felt that if the officer level of the Federation was these real martial artists instead of these magicians behind them who learned a few spells and thought they could control the sky, the earth and the sea, this battle should never be what it is now.
She didn't say anything more, nodded at a nervous Misha, and strode to the center of the magic circle.
"Everyone, please enter the circle and let your magic fluctuations resonate with me."
Surrounded by several Federation magicians, the magic circle and the sharpening circuit that had just been made of gold and silver mixed with more precious sand began to glow, and Sehiru stood in the center of the circle with his eyes closed, gradually covered in light. Faces can barely be seen clearly. At the same time, the magic crystal cannon connected to the magic crystal circuit. The huge magic crystal at the front of it also began to flicker and flicker.
Everyone knows the signs that the energy of the magic crystal cannon is beginning to gather.
Misha gritted her teeth. Turning around, he held a sword in one hand and carefully opened a corner of the hatch panel with the other. This is to observe the situation outside, but also to determine the timing of the cannon.
As Sehireu said, they really only have one chance, and naturally there is only one goal......
Time passed in the waiting, and the shouting outside the hatch panel was still very intense, but for a while and a half, it would be impossible to tell who had the upper hand, but. At this moment, a long roar that made people's souls and guts burst suddenly sounded again, and the sound was already very close, and the air around it seemed to start boiling. The snowy light in the circle began to flicker, as if it were glass that was about to be burned out.
"Hold your head!" Sai Xiliu's voice sounded loudly in the magic circle: "You are all senior magicians of the Federation, don't you have any elemental control power?" ”
The long roar had stopped, but what made everyone's breathing and heartbeat even more rapid was the loud "whirring", as if even the air was about to burst. It's getting louder and louder in everyone's ears. The black demon dragon that had destroyed the Millennium Eagle finally chose this most valuable prey on the entire battlefield this time.
"This is the time!" Misha lifted the hatch and turned to dodge.
The hatch had turned into a cannon door, and it was already full of magic. The almost glowing red crystal cannon was facing the black shadow hovering directly above the deck.
Other people's magic power is transmitted to themselves through the guò circle, and this magic power is transmitted to the magic circuit through the guò itself. Finally, it is applied to the Crystal Cannon. At that moment, Sehireu felt as if he had become a small reservoir built into a mountain depression. But it has to bear the turbulent waves like the waves of the ocean pouring and baptism.
It's okay, it seems. The quality of my reservoir is not bad, it should not have been repaired by the nobleman's brother-in-law contractor. A distinctly wry smile appeared on Seyliu's face, and at this time, she had already felt that the torrent of magic that had made her internal organs and even musculoskeletal collapse finally leave her body, and finally quickly gathered at the tip of the Gathering Crystal. The colorless transparent natural crystal has turned into a bright color like red at this time, so bright that people can't look at it directly, like a small sun.
And what the bright sunlight faced was the demon dragon with black wings spread out like a dark cloud shadow.
Pure-blooded true dragons are not beasts after all, and their lifespan calculated in terms of epochs also gives them the experience and experience to completely destroy almost all living beings in the world, if this race is really an evil and greedy race with no lower limit as in some third-rate legendary novels, the catastrophe brought to this world is actually no less than the Qiming War.
One only has to look at the current state of the Federation fleet, it is just a dragon, and in less than an hour of its appearance, it has already caused the destruction of a first-class battleship and a cruiser, as well as several almost completely irreparable damage of various types of warships.
This black dragon is more powerful and brutal than the evil dragon Sana who was killed by Orucello decades ago, like an undeniable nightmare, hanging over the hearts of the Federation soldiers, but also over their heads.
So, can the sun blow away nightmares?
At that moment, the concentrating crystal, which resembled a miniature sun, suddenly began to flicker for the last time. The bright light that made people unable to open their eyes suddenly exploded at that moment, turning into a long sword composed of brilliance, which suddenly slipped out of its sheath and stabbed into the black shadow suspended in the sky.
"Wha! Black Dragon Child! Mjolnir's first actual combat shot! You are the goal! This is Thor's roar! The roar of the Nahibia! The roar of the Federation! Sergeant Frings laughed loudly as the sword of light struck the black dragon in the chest and abdomen with precision.
If it was a magic crystal cannon used by an ordinary cruiser, it might not be able to deal effective damage to a real dragon, but it was Thor's hammer after all. The Federation has only three super-large caliber magic crystal cannons. In previous actual combat exercises, this kind of magic crystal cannon fired at the maximum output at one time, and even directly pierced a floating mountain with a large volume, blasting out a "tunnel" with a length of more than two kilometers and a smooth trajectory. At that time, there were also federal parliamentarians who jokingly said: "With the national power of the Federation, there is no need to send such weapons to the field, and they will be used for rock mining or mountain construction in the future." It's a good place to go. ”
The above joke made many people unable to laugh, and once again refreshed everyone's understanding of the lower limit of the IQ of federal parliamentarians. Anyway. In the face of this Thor's hammer, it is also the weakest defense in the abdomen. Even an ancient black dragon should be difficult to resist, right?
Turning the tide is a fatal blow here!
The premise is that this black dragon is really just an ordinary black dragon......
The long sword of light tore through the black dragon's chest and abdomen, but it didn't have the painful and angry roar and dragon blood dragon scales that everyone imagined, in fact, it didn't even have the sense of penetration and impact that it should have. What everyone saw was that the long sword of light passed through the black dragon's body without hindrance. It's as if the nightmare thing doesn't exist at all, it's just a cloud of air.
The trail of light released by the crystal cannon continued on its way, and soon a dozen enemy air cavalry riding dragons, dragon bats, and giant winged beasts were reduced to bones, but that was all. The most important target they had chosen at the beginning was still hovering in mid-air, completely unscathed.
Phantasm? Seyleu was slightly stunned, and then, she only felt that her body was weak. As soon as his throat was sweet, he spit out a mouthful of blood. The price of bearing such a big magic pressure at one time was finally manifested at this time.
"Miss!" Misha exclaimed in surprise and ran up to help the girl.
Magicians around. They were also pale. They weren't as seriously injured as Sehireu in an instant, but the feeling of running out of magic was like having their hands and feet cut off for any magician. Not only is it very inconvenient, but it is also insecure. Unless you start meditating right now. Otherwise, in a day or two, they will not have the ability to fight at all.
But. The battlefield is not your own castle and mage tower, where will you have time to cross your legs and close your eyes and recuperate!
Suddenly, several sharp claws dug deep into the deck and into the cabin below. The oak-themed planks can't stop those claws at all. The sharp claws, which were like spears, but more powerful than any spear in the world, had pierced through the body of Sergeant Frings and stopped less than two inches from Sehira's head.
Before everyone could react, the claws suddenly retracted and forcefully lifted the deck, and a large chunk of the thick and solid ship deck, as well as the body of Sergeant Major Frins, were simultaneously disintegrated into pieces of wood and flesh. Everyone in the cabin only felt that the top of their heads lit up, and in the next second, they were completely exposed to the air, and their bodies were suddenly splashed with the flesh and blood fragments of the old gunner.
"There are so many little ants!" A voice sounded faintly in the air, but it buzzed as if it had caused the surrounding air to vibrate. The sound seemed to be a combination of the clash of bronze and steel, and the sound of wind and thunder, and it was impossible to distinguish between man and woman, but by the sound alone, there was an urge to bow down.
It took almost a few seconds, including Sehirius, to figure out who was speaking. They turned their heads and were greeted by a slender and graceful dragon's neck and a huge dragon head the size of a carriage.
The black dragon is here...... So, what about the one who just got "hit"?
Reality soon gave everyone an explanation. The dragon's body hovering in mid-air only swayed slightly, and its entire body was like a mist, suddenly turning into countless water waves, and quickly disappeared in the battlefield densely covered with blood and fire.
This is...... Mirror imagery? However, why can't we find such a large mirror image at all?
The black dragon's dragon head showed a visibly mocking expression, and then slowly sank, its topaz-colored dragon's eyes as deep as an abyss, staring at the stunned crowd in the cabin. At that moment, everyone had a feeling that they were about to be sucked in by the double dragon eyes.
"Very courageous, little ants, praise you for having the courage to plot against me." The black dragon cracked his mouth, revealing a whole group of razor-sharp teeth: "I hope you still have the courage to bear the ruin I have given you." ”
The sound finally woke the magicians from their stupor, but the little courage they had just summoned melted away in an instant like a block of ice from lava. They began to flee in panic as if they had been frightened by the rabbits. After all, these people are just Gongzi and "officers" who have never been on the battlefield, and no one has taught them what to do when they are facing the dragon's mouth less than ten meters.
And the only girl present who was not frightened was now supported by her own servant, and she was completely incapacitated.
"Misha, run away...... Sehireu said slowly in a weak voice.
"Don't be stupid, Miss, in this case, even if you want to escape, there is no way out, right?" The former mercenary smiled helplessly. Even so, she still held Sehireu and shrunk into the cabin step by step.
This is actually just a dying struggle, and the black dragon can easily turn all the people in the cabin into ashes as long as he takes a relaxing breath of the dragon. However, it did not release the dragon's breath after all, because a fireball roared and knocked down the huge dragon's face.
For a true dragon, such an attack may not even be a tickle, but it is a very standard slap in the face, enough to provoke it. The black dragon raised his head, and soon caught the target of the attack, the white-haired old man standing on the bridge and holding a staff.
The black dragon didn't pay any attention to the little ants in the cabin, it fluttered its wings, but it didn't rise into the air, and with the strength of its limbs, like a predatory beast, it swooped straight to the bridge. (To be continued......)
PS: It's still a big chapter with a lot of discipline, so it's still a very disciplined watch, and it's a ticket
