A flash of fire.

The fierce artillery fire turned into a raging storm and roared, mercilessly bombarding the side of the first column of the Shining Gold Empire, and for a moment only the deafening explosion could be heard along with the continuous flashes, pulling the whole world into a new rock track.

"Whew............ I've been waiting for this day for a long time........."

When the smoke cleared, Patilina's petite figure emerged, looking with excitement and fanaticism at the battlefield in front of her, which had been completely bombarded to pieces. The area of a few hundred meters centered on the first column has now been turned over completely, and the swamp, which was originally quite damp, is now only full of devastation, scorched earth with black smoke and burning craters abound, as for the well-equipped soldiers of the first column? I may have been lying under the ground and waiting for tomorrow spring to make fertilizer.

"Vulnerable, worthless waste."

Seeing this scene, Patilina snorted lightly, but unlike her tone that sounded understated, the expression on Patilina's face at this moment was quite excited, and it could be seen from the incessant deformation of the spear she was holding in her hand, spewing steam and a low sound, that Patilina was obviously in high spirits now.

It was a matter of course, it was Pattilina's duty to keep Jenn here to protect the territory, but the little one didn't like this kind of dull life. As a warrior, a knight, she thirsted for blood, thirsted for battle, and only in battle, victory was her glory. The piles of corpses are a knight's finest medal, and their fearful conversation will be a guarantee of Patilina's honor. Patilina loved war, and she was born into it. Fighting for it all my life. For her, war is as natural and important as breathing and eating. Because of this, staying obediently in this ghost place also made Pattilina feel very unhappy. If Jenn hadn't assured her that a war was imminent, the little guy would have been in trouble with him in Phantasmal Star City.

And now, she was finally able to vent the boredom and sullenness she had been feeling all this time.

"You want to invade your master's territory just because of this kind of goods?"

Looking at the black dots on the far side of the horizon, Patilina's cute little face showed a look of disdain, and she sneered and raised the deformed spear in her hand and aimed it into the distance. The next moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and a dazzling light roared out from Patilina's cannon, piercing the sky like a meteor. It flew into the sky with an arc, and then exploded like fireworks.

But the golden lines did not dissipate in the air like fireworks, on the contrary, each ray of light burst again as it fell, splitting into two, two into four, and four into eight, just in the blink of an eye, countless golden lines of light passed through the clouds. Stab into the ground.

And for the soldiers of the Shining Gold Empire, the nightmare has only just begun.

Countless rains of golden light fell from the sky, plunging them into a sea of flames. The soldiers in the rear had no idea that they would be attacked, and they were defenseless against the rain of light that fell from the sky. I saw that with the sound of explosions, the rushing dust buried the entire position one after another like splashes, and the soldiers ran blindly. Howling, but not knowing what to do. Those light and rain ran through a qiē mercilessly. Even hard armor and shields did not do anything. Some veterans even wanted to raise their shields above their heads, but the next moment they saw a dazzling rain of light piercing through the thick and hard steel shields. It was as fragile as cheese melted by heat, and it turned back into boiling molten iron that flowed down and scorched the heads and faces of the soldiers. But the soldiers were no longer crying out for such a small wound -- because they were dead.

"What is this ...............?"

Pastan stood still, staring at the violent rain of golden light in front of him. In just a few minutes, before he even had time to figure out what was happening, his army had already lost a tenth of it, and at the moment the others were also running around frantically, like Pastan, no one knew where the attack came from, and they didn't know who launched the attack, they only knew that the rain of light fell from the sky, which meant that no matter where they were, they were likely to be attacked by the enemy!!

For a while, the entire military formation was chaotic, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, but as the elite soldiers of the Shining Gold Empire, they were not going to mess up because of this kind of Cheng Dù's attack, so they just made a little disturbance and quickly quieted down again under the angry shouts of the position commander. Only those parts of the army that had been attacked quickly dispersed and then regrouped in the rear. But even so, nearly half of them were completely buried in the torrent of rain of light.

What exactly is this?

Pastan's brain is blank at the moment, what kind of weapon is this? Magic cannon? What a joke, he'd never heard of a magic cannon with such power. He had heard that those god-chattering mages had built an incomparably powerful mage fortress in Colensia, but it was impossible for them to travel all the way to Passus, not to mention that the mages had nothing to do with the Skar Federation.........

Thinking of this, Pastein shook his head and removed the distractions from his mind. Although I don't know how the other side did it, it is obvious that Passus is not as easy to deal with as he seems, you must know that they are still on the other side of the battlefield -- not even the walls of the Passus stronghold, but the other side can directly attack him, and this power alone is enough to make Pastan extremely frightened. Of course he knew what that meant, and if the other party could keep unleashing this power, then they would die without even seeing the enemy's face.

But fortunately, the other party did not immediately attack again, I don't know why, anyway, Pastan raised his head and looked at the sky for a long time, and did not see a second wave of similar light rain.

What's next?

At this time, Pastan couldn't help but hesitate. Just before, he thought that attacking Passus was just an easy task. In Pastan's opinion, attacking Passus is no different from attacking other places, as long as the army of the Shining Gold Empire crushes the territory and then breaks through their defenses, those guys will lose their armor and collapse. But now it seems, it doesn't seem that simple.

Damn, what the hell are the intelligence agencies of the Imperial War Department up to!!

Thinking of this, Passus couldn't help grinding his teeth, if this is the secret weapon of the Skar Federation, why hasn't the Shining Gold Empire gotten a little bit of news? The intelligence agencies can't even do this kind of thing, so what can they expect them to do? What made Pastan even more depressed was that the area he was attacking was not an important place, so why was there such a powerful weapon to defend it here? Logically speaking, shouldn't this secret weapon be used specifically to defend important cities and fortresses? But how could there be such a thing in Passus, a ghost place where birds don't lay eggs?

Is it to continue the offensive? Or a temporary retreat?

For a moment, Pastan was also hesitant, and it stands to reason that he should choose to retreat now. But deep down in his heart, there was an urge to continue the attack. Because Pastein knows very well that with the level of Passus, it is impossible to support powerful magic weapons, those are all money, and what Passus lacks most is money. The Empire's intelligence agencies had never heard of a large amount of money flowing from Passus, and he had sent spies to investigate before that, and his conclusions seemed to be the same......... But then...............

"My lord, the scouts from the front line are back!!"

And at this time, a voice sounded, and Pastan was also stunned when he heard the news, and then he hurriedly gave the order.

"Bring him here!!"

Soon, the scout was brought to Pastan, but now he was pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Report, report to your lordship, the first column has been completely destroyed!!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Pastan was shocked, and he was almost about to give the order to retreat. Still, Pastein forced himself to calm down and asked.

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

"That's ..............."

Hearing Pastan's inquiry, the scout hurriedly told what he had seen, and hearing that it was a little girl in knight's armor who had fallen from the sky and eliminated the first column, Pastan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, if it weren't for the fact that he was on the battlefield right now, he almost thought that this guy was making fun of himself.

"You mean, a girl suddenly fell from the sky and defeated the first column?"

"Yes, sir."

Hearing this, Pastein frowned, and then he asked, as if he had thought of something.

"So did you see a pillar of light that was launched into the sky before?"

"Of course, my lord, that was also fired by the girl, I thought she was signaling..............."

"Have you seen anything strange on the walls of the colony?"

"No, my lord, it's just a bunch of ordinary soldiers, and there's nothing strange about it."

Hearing this, Pastan was silent for a moment, a girl? Defeated the first column, but also fired that strange shell to attack itself?

Although he still felt a little unbelievable about this news, Pastan was much more relaxed, as long as it wasn't for Passus hiding some powerful secret weapon, relying on the strength of one person alone, he couldn't stop the progress of an army!

Thinking of this, Pastan made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

"Order the second, third, and fifth armies to go out and, according to the original plan, launch an attack on Passus!" (To be continued......)
