Chapter 407 Dirty Things

Do everything possible to combine forces from different fields and make the best use of limited resources in a limited time.

A solid foundation, reliable technology, strong support from the government and military systems... plus some novel ideas in the field of weapons.

And this is the main reason why Votel's weapon craftsmen and experts are always able to make achievements in this field.

Ever since Votel's soldiers began to be wary of their former northern allies, these professional master craftsmen have received a new order - they need to help Votel's army build a concealment system in the border areas. , flexible and practical new defense strategies.

Over time, the railway tracks laid out in the plateau areas and the heavy-duty steam armored trains that could be mobilized quickly became the focus of these craftsmen.

In fact, in previous wars, the Saint Steele Army had already set an example.

In order to make the heavy crystal cannons that could only be installed at fixed points in the past play a greater role in the attack, the St. Steele people at that time pioneered the installation of them on heavy steam trains. In the early days of the war, , and they indeed played an extremely amazing role.

Under the conception of Walter craftsmen and mages, this transformation was further deepened.

In addition to using trains and rails to give those heavy guys more flexible movement and transfer capabilities, the Votel people also constructed a variety of new rituals for concealment and protection specifically for this kind of train.

Under the protection of these magics, an artillery position that can be mobilized at any time and arrive at different locations to launch attacks is perfectly hidden. Under normal circumstances, it can be hidden in any place where rails are laid. When a situation arises, , it can enter combat status as quickly as possible and perform its mission.

And now, this ferocious steel behemoth finally has a chance to show its abilities.

Several mages of the Votel Council who had already settled on the armored train entered the predetermined ceremonial position. They strictly calibrated and guided the heavy weapons installed on the armored train based on the precise positions and coordinates given by the rear. .

Unlike other new crystal cannons used by Votel's army, these big guys installed on armored trains are actually closer to traditional heavy crystal cannons. They were originally prepared for the previous war.

Because of the interruption of the war, their anger was still unable to be vented on the land of the Plain Kingdom.

Fortunately, they finally get a chance to play.

After sacrificing a series of original advantages such as flexibility, lightness, and low cost, these heavy crystal cannons have also gained unprecedented exaggerated advantages in other areas, namely range and power - according to the precise calculations of the council mages. , the shelling of these heavy crystal cannons can completely touch multiple defense lines and some positions of the northern Saint Steele army!

Of course, none of them were the targets of this round of bombardment.

A series of complicated tasks were quickly completed within fifteen minutes. Finally, accompanied by a series of violent magic shocks, these metallic-colored ferocious beasts let out a deafening roar towards the distant sky, and large and powerful cannonballs followed. Flying to distant places with the discharge of huge amounts of steam, complex magic and rigorous rituals will lead them to their destinations.

"..."

A young artilleryman looked at the council mage next to him anxiously, and he asked cautiously: "Are we... are we declaring war on the Black Sun Society?"

The council mage looked at the magic path in the sky and responded softly: "Of course not. After all, they have declared war on the entire Vann from the beginning. We have already entered a state of war. There are always many people I just don’t want to admit it.”

With that said, the mage took two steps across and once again entered the ceremonial ground used to calibrate and guide the cannon.

After a while, a new round of correction and guidance work was completed, and the Council Master left the ceremony. He sat tiredly on the ammunition box next to him and said with a gloomy face: "Saint Steele, or the Black Sun." Every move made by the association is constantly testing our ability to bear it. They will not restrain themselves, let alone eliminate their hostility towards us... As soldiers, we have no chance to be neighbors with such a terrifying existence."

"So, I fully support the decision made above... Instead of waiting for the monsters summoned by the Black Sun Society to descend on our heads, it would be better to blow them into pieces before they do these things. "

…

"Boom! Boom!"

Continuous roars continued to sound in the central square of Watch City.

The source of these explosions was not the cannonballs, but the bursts of magic explosions triggered by Shuge while fighting his opponents.

A variety of destructive magic supported by normal magic power and countless strange rituals derived from those ancient traces are constantly colliding. The blazing flames burn and go out, and the gloomy fog is sometimes thick and sometimes thin.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and this smell was even mixed with a terrible stench that was difficult to describe in normal words.

It was a projection cast from the dark abyss behind the black sun, a dirty paint mixed with countless desperate and distorted emotions.

"Bang!"

The double-barreled crystal gun that Shuge picked up casually finally exhausted its lifespan.

After Shuge used it to shoot multiple high-power magic bullets in succession, the huge burden finally caused the crystal gun to explode. However, at this time, Shuge no longer needed it.

Countless Charron's Touches were released by Shuge, and the rats commanded by the will of the Ernst family also began to appear in the surroundings under the cover of the Roots of Destiny.

The members of the Black Sun Society who had previously tried to retreat to the edge of the square to free up the central battlefield were now completely contained. Under the combined interference of the rat swarm and the illusion of roots, they had to give up their attack on the deformed society members. With their support, they began to deal with these annoying opponents that directly threatened their own safety.

However, Xiuge's situation did not improve much.

Kezlov himself did not seem to be preparing to directly participate in the battle against Shuge. He just quietly manipulated the Black Sun Mystery and continued to inject the rich dark abyss magic power into those who rushed to the scene and obtained the experience. Within the bodies of the association members "blessed" by Dark Abyss.

These strange, extremely ferocious enemies with both physical and magical advantages put great pressure on Xiuge.

After a member of the association suddenly appeared with many twisted joints on his back and a large number of spider eyes on his face, and almost penetrated the defense built by Charron's Touch, Shuge finally pulled out the "Hound's Hound" tooth".

And this action also means the acceleration of the battle.

When Shuge pulled the trigger of "Hound's Tooth", this strange-style pistol immediately let out a roar that was different from all firearms and weapons. The moment the sound rang out, all the people in the square who had received the blessing of the Dark Abyss Palace The existence of grace has fallen into severe sluggishness.

Whether it was the spell casters who studied the magic power of the Dark Abyss, the horrifically deformed humanoids, or the dark dogs of the Black Sun Society who arrived later, they all trembled under the roar of the real palace hound.

This brief pause is fatal.

The palace hound is a ruthless hunter and predator. It is not a knight with a noble spirit, and it has no habit of fair duels.

Therefore, from the moment it appeared, it showed its most ferocious and terrifying side.

The person who was targeted by Shuge was a member of the society whose body size was severely swollen, with most of his body enlarged to look like a shadow giant.

Now, its swollen black body has been torn open from the inside by the palace hounds. While emerging from the inside, this ferocious predator did not even forget to bite twice on the collapsed dark abyss magic power, and He swallowed them into his belly.

Immediately afterwards, the palace hound looked at his next target.

That is, the association member who is standing on the other side of Shuge, who also has the characteristics of the Dark Abyss Claw Spider, and is trying to use twisted arthropods to break through the defense of Charron's Touch.

Just when the scarlet eyes of the palace hound began to flash, the figure with countless limbs growing on its back, which looked particularly powerful and strange, suddenly stopped its movements, let out a piercing scream, and then gave up. He stopped his original action and began to retreat straight to the rear.

Perhaps because it was the clawed spiders in the Dark Abyss that gave him grace and power, the body of this member of the association was filled with thick fog of the Dark Abyss. Under the cover of these fogs, his figure became looming, Almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

However, in the eyes of the palace hound, this behavior means nothing at all.

If it were in the past, it would have become cautious because of the characteristics of the Dark Abyss Claw Spider on the target, but after "tasting" this kind of prey with its own mouth, the hound's scarlet eyes were filled with only greed. Sexy.

With a slight twist of its figure, it disappeared directly into the shadows. In the next moment, the large piece of dark abyss fog that covered the figures of the association members was violently torn apart, and the curvaceous figure of the palace hound emerged from it. It emerged out of thin air, and the clawed spider limbs on its back thrust out in a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.

After a series of crisp sounds, there was a blood-curdling sound of tearing and chewing.

Along with it comes a burst of spiritual satisfaction and joy.

Obviously, hunting these prey with the distinctive characteristics of the Dark Abyss creations allows the palace hounds who are far away from their "hometown" to finally touch the brutal pleasure hidden deep in their bodies and instincts.

At this moment, an unusually bright magic wave burst out from a distance, and between breaths, a gloomy dark green light flashed from the night sky diagonally above.

Xiuge's reaction was extremely quick. The moment the warning signal sounded in his heart, he began to use the mist of the messenger in the mirror to dodge as far away as possible, and mobilized a large number of Charron's Touch to his side, and constructed a magic wave on their surface. Several layers of protective magic.

The next moment, the dark green light was like a huge spike, hitting the spot where Xiuge was standing. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of dark green light erupted from the spike. They quickly spread out along the ground and easily caught up with Shuge who was dodging.

Shuge had seen this terrifying color as early as the first time he attended the gathering of the Black Sun Society.

This terrifying magic lightning seems to be a unique magic mastered by Kezlov. It is not only strange in shape, but also astonishing in power.

The protective magic attached to the surface of Charron's Touch fell into chaos the moment it touched these currents. The original stable structure was completely disrupted by violence, which caused them to fall into a state of disintegration.

Immediately afterwards, these dark green lights and shadows touched the Charron's Touch behind, and the solid black horn was continuously torn apart under its influence. A considerable part of the Charron's Touch was even torn into magic fragments on the spot.

Under the protection of a large amount of Dark Abyss mist, Shuge finally succeeded in escaping from the pursuit of this magic. However, the price he paid was quite heavy - the Touch of Charron surrounding him was almost destroyed. Completely destroyed, the fog of the Mirror Messenger within his body began to thin, and Shuge himself also suffered trauma.

A terrifying blood hole appeared on Shuge's shoulder, and what caused all this was just a faint electric light escaping from Kezlov's magic.

Xiuge stood still and looked in the direction where the magic shock had appeared before. He saw that Kezlov, who had been manipulating the Black Sun Mystery before, was walking towards him at this time. His face did not look like anything. There were too many changes, but in his eyes, there were thick shadows of the dark abyss rolling continuously.

"This old man did a great job, but he is also really smart."

As a being closely related to the Dark Abyss, Theseus was immediately aware of Kezlov's current state. He seriously reminded: "Embracing the Dark Abyss on a physical level will only make you become another Dark Abyss creation. But if you can accept those forces on a spiritual level and maintain their balance, then you can maximize the court's 'favor'."

Xiuge reached out and touched his shoulder, forcibly erasing the destructive magic power remaining in his body. He asked in his heart: "You mean, this guy belongs to the latter?"

"Well, that's the correct answer."

Theseus responded: "Now he is actually closer to the Dark Abyss than those weird guys... This is the convergence of spiritual and magical levels. Be careful. If he really wants to fight you to the death, say He may take the initiative to break that balance, and this kind of move may turn him into some kind of dirty thing that is very difficult to deal with."
