Chapter 44: The Array of Apocalypse
The sky was overcast, the sun was obscured by volcanic ash, water mist and sudden dark clouds, the haze was everywhere, the setting sun was hidden, the world was dark, and the huge wheel of light slowly rotated in the sky, releasing the only light, mysterious, but also giving people a fear of the unknown and great.

Resist the onslaught of the stone demons and wait for reinforcements to arrive near the capital of Babbel Province.
It's a simple command, but it's not easy to accomplish.
Nowadays, there are many natural disasters all over the Federation, some are relatively small, just heavy rain and heavy snow, some are more serious, flooding, and the land is dried up, and a few are like the eruption of Sigma volcano and the tsunami engulfing Sapphire Harbor, causing irreparable damage.
The reason why the federation is called the federation is because it is formed by the merger of various relatively independent provinces, the central region of the bay leads the forces of the various provinces, coordinates with each other, and the invasion of stone demons is serious, but the local army is also responsible for saving the local people, unless it is a real sense, the magic tide that cannot be resisted by the power of a province, otherwise even the central region cannot mobilize the local army to go to other provinces to encircle and suppress.
The armies of the neighboring provinces of Leyard and Derang each had their own tasks, and they would not have been mobilized unless the province of Babel had not been weakened.
"Why are you holding these stone demons back?"
Nelson was puzzled, it wasn't that he didn't understand the military, this old elf had lived for a long time, and he understood what strategy was: "These stone demons will find a crowded place to attack on their own, so we can go to the largest city in the vicinity to defend and counterattack!" β
- Sapphire Harbor has been destroyed, and the nearest major city is the capital of Babel.
And the soldier patiently explained: "Because there are some stone demons near the capital, it is really strange, they seem to have grown out of the ground, and they suddenly appeared in the center of the position, the capital army is clearing, but it will still take a while, if this wave of new stone demons carry out a two-sided attack on the capital, then it is not surprising that it will be defeated...... So we have to hold off these monsters. β
After a moment of silence, in the darkness, Professor Nelson sighed: "The Federation is really full of disasters...... Natural disasters are frequent, stone demons invade, how did the world suddenly become like this, is it that the mother tree no longer protects us? β
In the myths and legends of the elves, their group came from the Mother Tree, and each of the original elves was a deciduous incarnation of the mother tree, obviously, this is just a myth, but this does not prevent the elves from believing that the mother tree is real, which has been deeply embedded in their lives and culture.
It was useless to sigh, and after thinking for a while, the old professor did not return to the armored car, he turned to the side, silently following the black of the convoy, and said loudly in the language of the people of the plains: "Volcano...... Black Lord! β
The half-dragon also reacted from its contemplation, it turned its head, looked at the white-haired elf standing on the armored vehicle on the side, and roared softly in response.
Feeling at the high degree of black's wisdom and humanization, Nelson hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, bent down, and saluted respectfully: "I hope you can help us drag those stone demons in front of us together!" β
With the strength of this army, it is almost impossible to block those dense stone demons in the sky, and forcibly dragging it will cause great damage, but if you add the strength of a dragon, it will be different, but after all, the volcanic dragon is a giant beast whose origin and camp no one knows, and no one knows whether it will help the elves.
Nelson knew that Black was a very close dragon, and had even helped the capital of Babbel Province intercept meteorites and fight in front of the battle, and it might have a great chance of helping his side fight, but the old man would rather ask the other party to make this great possibility a certainty.
Even if it's a little possibility, he can't afford to gamble.
"Roarβ"
Elves, that's my enemy too, and I will naturally go to fight without asking for it.
Although the language was not understood, but for some reason, the old elf understood the meaning of black, he cheered up, and after thanking him gratefully, he returned to the armored car, while the half-dragon looked at the meteorite that was constantly falling and emitting a huge roar in front of him, but his golden eyes were a little dazed.
Alone...... Fight?
Chaos Monster ...... These stone demons are clearly chaos demons, but the elves don't know this, resisting the stone demons has become a part of civilization, and most people don't think about why the stone demons appear, because they are part of the natural phenomenon, just like natural disasters and tsunamis, it is a natural thing.
In the past, Hei had always fought with fighters, and at first it was more excited, so he didn't think it was anything to fight alone, but now that he calmed down, Banlong noticed that he was far away from home, and his master was no longer by his side, and he was alone with a dragon, and he couldn't find his way home.
Maybe it's anxiety, maybe it's loneliness, but anyway, it's really bad - an unknown anger gradually fills his heart, Hei is not a depressed character because of this kind of thing, maybe it is subtly influenced by his master, when the half-dragon feels irritable, he only wants to tear the enemy apart.
- So now!
In the darkness of the night, two golden lights lit up, the dragon's eyes turned, the vertical pupils constricted, locking on the enemy, the giant beast didn't even have the slightest wait and hesitation, it roared in a low voice, and then the core of its chest released a terrifying heat, sweeping away the damp water vapor brought by the tsunami around it, and a blazing white light shot straight out of it, it passed through the haze and darkness of the sky, bringing out a slightly arcing pillar of light, straight into a meteorite in the sky.
Bang - the pillar of light was like a needle piercing through a piece of paper, easily piercing the meteorite, and the huge impact force even pushed this meteorite off the trajectory and hit another meteorite, and the explosion slowly came after a long time, and only the flying fragments of fire could be seen.
Originally, the armored vehicles near the black all left in a hurry, because this half-dragon was surrounded by a terrifying fire element, and the power rooted in the bloodline was ignited by anger, and now it was a raging flame, and the half-dragon felt that the more he used his strength, the stronger the power would become.
"Roar!!
He released his anger slightly, but Hei felt that this was not enough, its voice was like a thunderous shock, full of the might of the overlord, and the core of its chest lit up again, and there was a fire brewing in the center.
More than a dozen blazing white pillars of light flew out like lightning, and it was not the same as before, this time the strength was controlled, and each launch could ensure the destruction of a meteorite, no more and no less, only to see countless points of light dragging a long trajectory in mid-air, forming a huge fan, and in an instant, this attack destroyed more than a dozen meteorites and the stone demons in them.
"Well done!"
In the armored convoy, countless people rejoiced, now shoot down an enemy, and wait for one less enemy, but before everyone is happy, with a terrible roar, more meteorites fell from the sky, hundreds of meteorites with red flame tails, like a rain of fire hit the earth, and what is frightening is not this, but the third wave of meteorites came again, as if along the path of the previous meteorite fall, and the same number of meteorites fell to the earth, and the earth shook violently, as if one small earthquake after another.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"How...... This amount?! β
"It's over, it's all over......"
ββ¦β¦β
As if they couldn't understand the scene in front of them at all, many people couldn't help but wonder if this was an illusion in their eyes - hundreds, thousands of stone demons descending at the same time?
Even if it was the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago, that is, this is a demon tide that requires tens of thousands of troops to cooperate with countless logistics, relying on fortresses to fight a battle, and at least several provinces need to join forces to resist it.
With their convoy alone, even with the addition of the Volcanic Dragon, it would be impossible to resist it!
However, this is not the end.
Above the sky, and even above it, in the heavens, higher than the clouds and the firmament, there was a rumbling sound that seemed to be the operation of some great machine, and all the people in the province of Babbel, and indeed the whole world of Irgna, heard it, and they raised their heads, looking at the sky in confusion or amazement.
In the sky, the sun has set, and a crescent moon is slowly rising, but the light of this moon is all taken away by a huge and incomparably large magic circle, and the magic circle composed of ten huge and incomparably light wheels is slowly rotating, and each light wheel on it is like a gear biting each other, and every second it runs, the light is brighter for a minute, until finally, it is as dazzling as the sun, illuminating this dark world.
In the hearts of all those who gaze at this chakra, there is an enlightenment, which is a word that transcends words and goes straight to the heart.
The time of the apocalypse has come.
Buzzββββββ
In the humming sound, an invisible force made the clouds in mid-air fluctuate like water, and the ten light wheels slowly rotated, and finally formed an aperture composed of nine light wheels, and one light wheel slowly came out of the array and came to the center of the aperture.
Countless rays of light bloomed, and the nine light wheels released tens of millions of rays of light, and all of these rays converged at the light wheel in the center of the circle.
Infinite rays of light overlapped like nets, powers stacked endlessly, and terrifying coercion descended from the sky, causing all those who were still watching to involuntarily stop breathing, and the fear that came from the deepest part of their hearts spread, and they couldn't even stand.
It's like being watched by an evil god.
Black roared loudly, but its voice was drowned out by the hum that spread all over the world, its heart was full of fear, and the instinct inherited in its blood told it that there was some kind of indescribable power that was converging in the aperture, nurturing, and about to break out of the cocoon, but it was powerless to stop it, and could only watch this happen.
In just an instant, without waiting for anyone to react, the light wheel at the center of the circle was full of power, and countless rays of light completely converged together, forming a light cluster that could distort the world.
"It's aimed at Mount Nasirβ"
A hurried voice came, this was the result of a sharp-eyed person's estimate, and before he could finish speaking, a blazing white pillar of light fell straight from the center of the light cluster, and with a violent hum, it pierced through the clouds, and under this force, all the clouds within dozens of miles were swept away, and the rest also fluctuated violently, collapsing into heavy rain.
The light fell, and then spread instantly, and the mountain in the distance was engulfed in white light in an instant, a disaster far more terrible than the previous tsunami, because the wave of light engulfed the peaks, hills, and surrounding rivers, and all cities and villages and panicked elves in their path.
And then......
No then.
In the midst of the strange humming sound, all the areas engulfed by the blazing white light disappeared, there were no explosions, no shock waves, and after the light was over, the province of Babel lost a high mountain, and where the peak was originally located, there was only a deep pit with a radius of several kilometers, and the lava at the bottom of the pit was drumming, reflecting the raging fire.
And in the middle of this huge crater, there was a deep crack, this crack tore through the space, the fragments of the world scattered around it, behind it, as if some terrible existence was roaring, faintly, you can see a huge golden stone statue flashing.
- It's too small, this crack is enough for it to enter.
What the hell is going on?! Whether it was Hei, the rest of the armored convoy, or even the Grand Commander's Office, the Central Research Institute of the Federation, and the Military Headquarters who watched this scene through the magic circle, everyone was in their hearts, or they were asking back and forth to others, but no one could give an answer, all of this was too sudden for people to react.
"Something is coming out!"
The nearest was the armored convoy, and a scout with a high-magnification telescope looked at the scene in the distance, he shivered, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "A lot, a lot...... Yes! β
The scout suddenly screamed, and he shouted, "It's a stone demon!" β
"They have wings and can fly!"
"What?!"
The startling reply overwhelmed everyone, and Black ignored the commotional armoured convoy and stared silently into the distance, the dragon's pupils could see even more clearly than the telescope, and the golden colossus that flashed in front of the crack had created a fear that could only be felt in the half-dragon's owner.
It was far beyond it, the pinnacle of gold, and even the breath of extreme will.
Others, as the scout had said, were swarming out of the cracks, much smaller and weaker than their meteorite-like counterparts, but with all sorts of wings on their backs, they were flying out of the cracks in mid-air, and then spreading out in all directions.
In the firmament, the Apocalypse Array slowly disappeared, and the cracks gradually closed, but before it closed, nearly thousands of flying stone demons had come to this world, counting the large stone demons that landed before, the total number even exceeded five thousand, and some of the flying stone demons seemed to have noticed the refugees in Sapphire Harbor, and they flew rapidly in the direction where the convoy was, and the chaotic aura spread rapidly, making this world stained with a trace of dead silence.
Syllable.
A dragon's claw landed on the ground.
Kuro looked at the sky and let out a low roar.
Unlike the armored convoy that was in a panic, it vaguely felt a trace of nostalgia, nostalgia for the feeling of rushing and killing in the chaotic tide of Moldova with its master, and galloping wantonly.
It's an uphill battle, yes.
For a warrior's mount, this couldn't be more suitable.
