Soul of Burning Steel

In fact, it's not just the province of Babel.

After the beam of light was released by the Apocalypse Array and a space crack was torn apart, all kinds of horrible disasters appeared in the Gulf Federation, and even the entire world of Ilgna. Countless stone demons fell from the sky with meteorites. Tired of running around, after finally clearing one place, monsters appeared in another place.

The central area of ​​the bay is one of the few areas that has not been attacked by stone demons. Of course, this is also the most heavily guarded place. Even if there is an invasion of stone demons, they will definitely be repelled.

And the commander who finally arrived at his office in the airship also sat on his chair tiredly, but he had no time to rest. After drinking a little water, Urken quickly opened many observation circles, Let dozens of light curtains appear in front of you.

Nervously watching the scenes in each light curtain, the red-haired elf's heart sank. He found that the situation was worse than he imagined.

In the nine provinces of the federation, there were stone demon attacks of varying intensities. The number and density were so high that it was second only to the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago, but that time all the stone demons gathered in one place , but now an almost equal number appear in nine or even more places at the same time.

The armies in various places are exhausted, and all their energy and manpower are spent just to defend against the stone demons in their own territory. The central region relies on fortifications and has no problem sticking to it, but it is powerless to go out to help other provinces.

The storm blew all the provinces of the coastal provinces, the port cities were hit by huge waves, earthquakes occurred in all the hilly areas, and the ice rain and snowstorm washed the land of the northern provinces back and forth. In a few hours, the ice sheets of the northern provinces collapsed With a thickness of half a meter, even armored vehicles were completely frozen and unable to drive. All parts of the country were suddenly devastated, and fell into the most urgent moment.

All kinds of natural disasters are accompanied by countless stone demons, and they are attacking violently as if they want to destroy the Gulf Federation in one fell swoop. The province of Delang, which has the weakest military strength, is already devastated. The wilderness covered with grass and forests turned into scorched earth full of cracks and huge pits. Under the siege of thousands of stone demons, the defenders of Delang Province have retreated and shrunk to various big cities, and there are countless people walking in the abandoned cities. Gray rock puppets, they destroy all the temporary fortresses, wantonly slaughtering the local civilians who are too late to leave.

The ground was covered with horrific corpses. The flesh and blood of elves and pieces of puppets were mixed together, exuding a terrible smell of blood.

Nothing to say, absolutely nothing to say, Urken gritted his teeth, with blue veins on his wrinkled forehead, leading the Federation with one hand, reborn from the ruins of the last dynasty war, he loves all elves, any city He would go to bless the establishment, watching those bloodless and tearless monsters silently slaughtering the remaining elf civilians, his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.

But so what? Helplessness filled his whole body, even though his hands were trembling with anger, the great commander was helpless.

The federation really has no spare power... Could it be that the federation is going to perish right here?

Forcing himself to look away, the Grand Commander turned his head to look at the light curtain of Babel Province. Since it is the place where the Apocalypse Array descended, there are far more stone demons here than in other provinces, nearly 5,000 heads, mixed with flying The puppet army of the Stone Demon is fighting on two sides. One side is defending near the provincial capital of Babel, while the other side is besieging the armored convoy near Sapphire Port.

On the hills around Sapphire Port, with the assistance of a black half-dragon, an army began to break out of the siege in the direction of Babel's capital with difficulty. From time to time, loud noises like thunder came from the hills, accompanied by the giant dragon that shook the world. Roar, light beams penetrated the haze brought by volcanic ash and water vapor one after another. It shattered the bodies of countless powerful stone demons, allowing the armored army beside him to fire safely and destroy the weaker stone puppets. The attack formed a huge firepower net, covering all the existences in front.

It has to be said that the cooperation between the two is still a bit jerky, and occasionally a few stone demons will be missed to jump over the firepower net, but this is all harmless. The huge dragon beast waved its giant claws, and it was good luck to kill a few of them neatly. The gray puppets smashed into fragments, and the flying stone demons flying in the sky occasionally wanted to attack the half-dragon when it was attacking other places, but they never expected that the red mist surrounding Hei was made of Composed of ultra-high-temperature fire elements, there is a danger of deactivating them just by approaching them.

With the help of the Volcanic Dragon, the situation has almost stabilized? !

The Grand Commander took a deep breath, and he was once again thankful that he did not order to kill this giant beast. Otherwise, not to mention many troops, it would not be of any help in the face of such a terrifying invasion. Babel Province is destined to fall, and other places will collapse like dominoes one by one.

"We must win! The Dragon of the Volcano!"

Clenching his hands together, his fingers so hard that his knuckles turned white, Urken stared at the light curtain and said in a heavy voice: "You are...the only hope!"

And on the other side of the light curtain.

Banlong judged the situation calmly, and poured out his powerful firepower to destroy the enemies one after another. While calculating whether his remaining magic power could break through the stone demon's encirclement, Hei was a little surprised to find that the magic power in the surrounding atmosphere actually It has become a lot thicker. Although it is still not as strong as the magic concentration in the Great Ajax Volcano and the Sigma Volcano, it can also make it emit a lot more beam cannons.

But why? Why is there so much magic power suddenly? The half-dragon was a little puzzled, but it didn't care. As long as it could destroy the enemy better, who cares about such a trivial matter, it continued to fire out light cannons one after another, then swung its sharp claws, and even slammed into it, destroying a head Another mighty stone golem.

Most of these stone demons are extremely weak, and they can't even resist the flame shields that come with half-dragons, but the stronger ones, such as steel and mithril-level stone demons, all have intermediate silver and peak silver. Strength, their power is enough to penetrate the black fire elemental shield and dragon scales, causing great damage to the half-dragon, and the concentration of magic power is higher, and it has no effect on the stone demon, but whether it is the power of the armored vehicle magic crystal cannon or The half-dragon's elemental shield will be even stronger, leaving those weak stone demons with no room to resist.

Hei didn't seem to care much about it, but many people did.

"What? You said that the concentration of magic power in Babel Province has suddenly increased by 42%?" Urken stared at the battle situation in Babel Province with the armored vehicle as the first perspective in his office. Talked to the research institute, but the first sentence the other party said made him turn his eyes back, and said in shock: "Why? Why did it increase so much suddenly, this concentration is enough to support a lot of big magic!"

However, the research institutes that were inquired also stated that they did not know the reason. They only discovered abnormal data from observations. After several calculations, these scholars also gave two possibilities this time.

After the stone golem dies, there will be a lot of magic power—this is unlikely. Although there are many stone golems in the Babel province, there are many such rock puppets in other places. If you defeat them, you can only get a piece of waste rock. reward.

And the second point is more incredible, but unexpectedly reasonable.

"The opening of the time-space rift...brought the magic power from the outside world?" Urken repeated the sentence he had just heard in a low voice, and Urken repeated it softly.

He is thinking.

The blow launched by the Apocalypse Array completely wiped out a mountain and the surrounding cities. Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of elves were turned into ashes and dissipated in the sky and the earth. The terrifying power even tore apart the space. Layers pulled out a huge wound.

Even though the surface has been healed, the structure of the space is still fragile, and countless magic power seeps in from it, gradually increasing the concentration of Ilgna's magic power. The ones who benefit the most are the mages in Babel Province. They could only use some small tricks , But now with the help of the sudden increase in magic power, these mages have regained the ability to use advanced magic.

In the capital, the defenders who were engaged in an arduous tug-of-war with countless stone demons suddenly found that they had several buff states on their bodies, and they all felt energetic and powerful. The firepower was 30% higher than the original in an instant. This sudden explosion instantly defeated the strongest attack of the Stone Demon. The defenders successfully protected millions of people behind them. level capital residents.

These are all due to the mages who are suddenly able to cast buff spells. Their knowledge is extremely rich. If the environment did not restrict them, these guys would have been able to advance.

And Professor Nelson, before becoming a master scholar of linguistics, was also a mage, and he was also an archmage.

The white-haired old elf shifted his focus decades ago, when spellcasting became increasingly difficult, and focused on learning all known languages, but even so, he was an archmage, which is why the army Be extremely polite to him, even willing to tell him about his own plan of action.

I was originally a powerful mage, but due to the decline in the concentration of magic power in this world, my spellcasting ability has dropped significantly, and I can't even use auxiliary spells. This kind of aggrieved feeling, Nelson will never forget in his life, but It was different now. The old elf who was closest to the space rift noticed in astonishment that his strength was recovering rapidly.

No time to worry about why, he simply ran out of the armored vehicle, the elf professor immediately cast an advanced swift for Hei, and as the spell ended, Hei, who suddenly found himself moving faster, looked at Bai beside him in surprise. Hair elf, Banlong found that although the guy in front of him was far from Master Nostradamus, he also had a trace of familiarity.

The breath of a silver-level mage.

An elf and a dragon looked at each other, and then laughed in the same way.

"Your Excellency, Dragon of the Volcano, let's break through the encirclement of these monsters together!"

The old mage laughed and said: "Don't try to hold them back, let's rush out, rush back to the provincial capital of Babel, first help them solve their troubles, and then go back together to deal with these damned monsters!"

"Roar!"

There was no smile on Banlong's face, but his voice was full of fighting spirit. Although he was still in danger of being surrounded, he didn't have any fear. After attacking, the armored vehicle and Banlong began to move towards the distance with all their strength. Speeding up, the slanting huge gunfire and explosion sounded as if ten thousand beasts were running wildly on the ground. Under the attack of the giant dragon, one after another the mithril-level stone demon carapaces cracked and collapsed into pieces on the ground. The stone demon who was still flying and watching was also shot down by beams of light beam after beam, and the aftermath even shattered the clouds in the sky, causing many large holes where stars could be seen appeared in the dense clouds.

The breakout became more and more smooth, and the entire armored convoy was like a cone, easily piercing through the encirclement net of the stone demons, and just after the old mage and the commander behind the screen breathed a sigh of relief.

A golden colossus, much taller than the other puppets, suddenly appeared, and then stopped in front of the armored convoy.
