July 1, 833, on the edge of the far south nako mountains, late at night.
The clear night sky of the mountains in the northwest is full of stars. The dry air from the East sweeps away all the floating clouds. The double moon in the sky is emitting a striking silver glow, spreading a layer of gauze on the earth.
With a slight buzz, a huge object gently and quickly across the sky, it releases the magic wave, casting a dark shadow on the hills at the edge of the mountains.
The floating battleship gale has already left the nako mountains, which are connected with the western mountainous areas in the far south, and is marching further south to the far sea.
And in the front of the railings, there is a man with black hair overlooking the land.
"That's good."
"I didn't expect to be here again," he said softly
Since they left the imperial capital eight days ago, they have gone through nine large-scale transports: Southern fortress group, Rooney Island, Tieshan City, HIA Kingdom, Xiboer Kingdom, the edge of central black forest, Xishan chamber of Commerce Alliance, Da Kong, and finally the nako mountain fortress group. So far, they have finally reached their destination, far south.
In the far south, more than 50% of the land is covered by dense forests, in which there are countless elf tribes and nests of exotic insects, and most of the homes of all kinds of strange creatures are located in them, rather than the grassland and hills of the jungle, which is the territory of the human Kingdom. They get along well with each other, and even have a common council to deal with each other's problems.
Joshua looked down at the dense jungle under him. He knew that behind the complicated branches of the trees, there must be countless eyes silently watching the floating warship, including hawks, beasts, human beings and elves.
He was very clear about this familiar and strange land.
Because this is the place where the soldier once fought. In his previous life, he was in the jungle far south. He fought alone in various copies and tasks, gradually gained fame, gathered many friends around him, and finally formed a large battle group. Although he always complained that the battle group was a waste of time, everyone knows that the soldier just complained, With so many like-minded partners, his heart is still very happy.
Now he can't wait to return to this land.
"Zizizi, Zizi."
Behind Joshua came an electric noise, a set of armored figures that could only be called huge, nodding slightly, as if in agreement with what he had said before.
Looking back, Joshua looked at the armored figure.
"Do you understand?"
Smiling and patting each other's chest armor, the soldier turned his head and looked into the distance: "it seems that your intelligence is not as low as it was at the beginning, junior."
This three meter high, huge armored figure is the first steel element created by Joshua a few days ago.
After several experiments in recent days, the mages on the ship absorbed a lot of magic, and the steel elements fused with a lot of metal became bigger and bigger. It has changed from the original height of more than two meters to the current height of three meters. It also imitated Joshua's magic armor and covered the weakness of its head with a helmet, This huge body contains a magic flow far beyond the past, and the power has changed from the original silver primary level to the silver medium level, which is enough to fight the fighters who can release their fighting spirit.
In addition, Joshua also noticed that the wisdom of the first name became more and more mature with the passage of time.
This steel element, as his own dependents, seems to be able to understand a lot of things that soldiers know. When it was born, it didn't respond, just because it was a piece of white paper at that time, and it had no knowledge, but it couldn't be used. However, as the days went by, the meaningless noise of the first name added a lot of meaning, Steel has been able to understand the human dialogue.
Joshua didn't continue to care about the change of the first grade. In his opinion, it's a good thing that the intelligence and strength of the steel element are getting stronger and stronger. Since it's a good thing, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.
And inside the ship.
The black haired boy followed the steel passage of the warship. He walked through the corridor, climbed the stairs, opened the door to the outside world, and came to the deck of the warship.
Looking up, he saw the soldiers and steel elements. They stood on the front rail of the warship and looked at the scenery in the distance. The black and red lines of the first number were shining peacefully, while Joshua's back seemed to blend with the black night sky.
"If you wear this black coat again... Can't you change the color?"
With a murmur of complaint, Lin is not surprised by his master's aesthetics. He looks around and finds that he can't find his sister and Banlong. It seems that he is still resting in the room. Since the black becomes smaller, Ying seems to have recovered her enthusiasm for taking care of horses and began to pester Banlong. This week, she has hardly stopped."Master!"
After shaking his head and putting aside his mind, the black haired boy trotted all the way to the front of the empty ship, while Joshua, who was wearing a black coat that had never been changed, turned aside and nodded with a smile: "why, Lin, do you come to see the scenery? The moon is really good tonight. "
"No, just now miss No. 3 sent me the status report of the territory this week."
Shaking his head slightly, the young man with black hair was holding a report full of small words. He hesitated and asked, "I think master, you should want to see... Do you need it?"
"Of course."
He took the report from Lin's hand and patted the little head of the black haired boy with admiration. Joshua scanned the complicated words on the report, and his heart became clear.
"Have Brandon and wildany come and take their two children? What else is left behind... Ha. "
Blinked, the soldier was dissatisfied and said, "do you really take me as a baby sitter? Lin -- tell Miss No. 3 to return all the rewards. If you want to express your gratitude, just wait for me to go back and say it yourself. "
In addition, in fact, it's no big deal. Brandon and vildani have already wiped out most of the heretics and dangerous demons in Moldova's collar, while atannis and loranda have already wiped out all the dangerous factors in Moldova's collar. With No. 3's care, the whole territory is OK.
Of course, No. 3 also complained in the report about why she was not taken with her in this operation. She also wanted to see the floating warships in the world.
In fact, it's not impossible, but now that everyone has arrived in the far south, it's impossible to return. Go and connect the No. 3.
When he returned the report to Lin, Joshua saw that the black haired boy wanted to see the far south, which was quite different from the north, so he asked Chu Hao to put him on his own shoulder. At this moment, the soldier suddenly turned his head and looked at the darkness at the end of the field of vision.
"It's a dragon disaster."
He murmured to himself, "how long have you been away from the garrison area of Fort NACO? It's coming so soon."
"Woo! Woo! Woo
A few minutes later, gale sounded a sharp alarm, and in the control room of the warship, a quick report and response followed.
"High magic reaction ahead!"
"It's preliminarily proved to be a flying dragon group, 124 in number!"
"Can we avoid it?"
"No, there are also flying dragons on the left. They have a lot of them."
As the most elite people in the Empire, even the people who were sent to pilot this floating warship, these crew members are very calm in the face of today's abnormal situation. They calmly report information to each other, and pass the results to the captain level by level.
"A total of 212 crazy flying dragons."
After pondering for a while, the middle-aged captain with a wisp of white hair whispered: "not much."
"Only 212 crazy flying dragons."
Similarly, on deck, Joshua read out the number of flying dragons in the distance. He shook his head and looked disappointed: "appetizers are not."
The soldier's heart did not even flash the idea of returning to the interior of the ship first. He was still standing in the front of gale, looking at the distance.
"Master!"
Behind her, came the sound of the silver haired girl's hasty steps, and her slightly excited cry: "I hear the alarm - ready to start fighting?"
Firefly is followed by a group of black giant horses. There is a silver pendant hanging on its chest. Even if the black is smaller by the easy shape pendant, it seems to be a little listless. Eight days of continuous air life makes it adapt to the high altitude, but it can't make the half dragon get rid of seasickness completely.
A magic machine and dragon ran to the soldier's body so quickly. The silver haired girl held Joshua's waist cleanly. She looked up and asked expectantly, "do you want to do it?"
"Roar." Black also called several times at the same time, a ray of light flashed in the golden longan.
"Of course not."
In the face of two pairs of expectant eyes, Joshua shook his head decisively, he seriously replied: "too little."
"There are many..."
Was so simply rejected, Ying silently let go of the hand holding Qiao Xiuya waist, turned around the black neck, she some unwilling to say: "this is more than 200 flying dragons.""Roar." The hugged black nodded with approval.
"Maybe."
With a nod, Joshua said calmly, "if I'm still gold level, even gold high-level, these 200 flying dragons are worth my hand - but I'm very interested now. These flying dragons don't have a gold level leader in front of me."
At this point, the soldier shook his head and said, "let's leave the massacre to the warships. Those mages want to collect battle data, but they are crazy. They will be more active than us. Ying, you just stay here and watch."
With that, Joshua picked up the girl with silver hair and put it on Chu Hao's shoulder, which was slightly bent over. It was just right, and Lin left and right.
"I want to see what this warship belongs to me can do."
At this time, a translucent light curtain appeared in front of Joshua's eyes. The masters who controlled the warship were contacting him. They respectfully asked the count if he wanted to return to the interior of the warship.
How can the soldier go back? He replied without hesitation that he would appreciate it outside even if he started fighting.
Got this reply, it seems to understand the character of Joshua, warships no longer ask for extra information, began to make full preparations.
In the distance, the crazy flying dragons sensed that there was something in the air that didn't belong to their own family, so they didn't hesitate to fly in this direction. As the existence of reason that had been completely engulfed by rabies, the eyes of these flying dragons were shining with chaotic blue and purple light, and they had no fear, even in the face of the real dragon, It will also attack forward without any influence.
The speed of floating warships and flying dragons is very fast, and the speed of the two approaching each other is double fast. In just a few minutes, a large group of flying dragons appeared at the end of the field of vision, shaking their wings, and even using talent magic to accelerate.
At this time, the floating warship was also ready. With the sudden increase of the buzz, the two magic power furnaces began to speed up. The huge magic power complied with the pipes leading to all parts of the ship and transmitted to the places they needed to reach.
"Target locked."
"The magic focus is warm up."
"The alchemy gun is in good condition and ready to use at any time."
In the command room, the middle-aged captain listened to the report step by step and nodded seriously. Then, he decisively ordered: "start charging."
"Yes
With a single command, several orders are conveyed. With the micro movement of magic and the running sound of steel gears, the crystal ports of the four doors, which are similar to mirrors, are exposed from behind the variable armor on the side of the floating warship. They are like four indifferent eyes, firmly locking the flying dragon group flying from the front and left.
"Calculate the artillery parameters and analyze the wind direction."
"Detect the point with the highest energy value in the Feilong cluster."
"Aim, charge!"
With a decisive command, the magic focusing cannons on both sides of gale began to gather a dazzling light of light red, so powerful that even Joshua's energy gradually gathered in the center of the crystal port, which seemed to be a concave mirror, forming a burning light ball, but the far flying dragon didn't feel this, These crazy beasts lost their keen instinct and still rushed to the floating warship according to the original track.
In the command room, the captain showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He ordered in a deep voice: "launch!"
All of a sudden, four thick light red attention will gush out from the four crystal ports. In an instant, it will pass through the flying dragons' cluster.
In a flash, dozens of flying dragons were completely engulfed by the light column and turned into nothingness, while most of the other flying dragons around the light column were scorched by the terrible high temperature and fell to the earth screaming.
But they are not the most miserable. It is not painful for them to be evaporated or just lose their wings when they don't know. The most painful thing is the flying dragons outside.
In less than two seconds, the pale red light column ended its launch and entered the next charge. However, its residual energy ignited other elements in the air. Suddenly, four huge explosions appeared over the edge of the far south nako mountains. The explosion swept away towards the eight methods in all directions with high-temperature steam and violent shock waves, The residual waves hit the magic shield around the floating warship, rippling.
"Great."
Looking at this scene without changing his face, Joshua had seen the floating warship fire many times in his previous life, but this time his feeling was completely different. He nodded with a smile and said: "it's worthy of my warship."
Just these four magic focussing cannons mean that four golden mages use mass destruction magic. Although according to the pure power, it can't compare with the glory power of verdani, verdani is a war mage specialized in war. Her magic power is bigger than ordinary mages and can't be used as a standard.After this round of attack, there were only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled in the flying dragon group with 200 people. But even so, these crazy beasts didn't have the slightest intention to give up, but continued to rush towards the warship.
The four magic focussing cannons had been withdrawn slowly, and the muzzle of the ten times alchemy cannons was revealed. However, Joshua was not interested in watching this scene. Instead of paying attention to the remaining flying dragons, he turned to the sky.
Under the silver white moonlight, the huge size of the floating warship casts a dark shadow on the ground. The light of the double moon is turning slightly red, which seems to be a sign of something.
The translucent magic light curtain appeared in front of the soldiers again. It asked Joshua whether they would go to the far south kingdom for a replenishment or fly directly to the holy mountain of the far sea. There was no help from the teleportation array along the way, and most of the areas were occupied by wild dragons. Someone needed to make a decision.
For soldiers, there is no second answer.
"Go."
He looked at the distance calmly: "to the holy mountain."
"That's where we fight."
