"Get ready to lift!"
A man whose left half of his face was burnt shouted.
As the trainer of Black Sand Region's Mystic Gun Unit, Hardy watched with satisfaction as the thirty strong and elite soldiers under him wore heat-resistant gloves and glass goggles. They were divided into groups of three, opened the incubator boxes, and steadily carried out ten streamlined Iron Gray Mystic Guns.
Although they were not the best Mystic Gun Unit he had trained, in Eckstedt, which generally looked down on the use of Mystic Guns, the Mystic Gun Unit under the Archduke of Black Sand Region was already a rare expert.
This reminded Hardy of the first time he touched the old and depleted Siegel Model V Mystic Gun as a new recruit.
But looking at these lads, Hardy sighed with emotion. 'Look at the things in their hands.'
The Siegel Model VII Mystic Gun had a sturdy gun body forged with the rough skills of the dwarves in the Iron Gray Mountain of the Eastern Peninsula. It was equipped with a barrel made of the finest Crystal Drops from the Snake's Belly Mountain, which was located at the border between the Hanbol Dynasty and the Ligudan Alliance. It was also equipped with an oil storage tank made of dark copper mined from the seabed by Crystal Jade City. It was filled with high-quality Eternal Whale Oil obtained from the Southern Sea of Eradication by the Trade Federation, as well as the sealed core of a mysterious origin.
The gun body was hard and wear-resistant, and the barrel could withstand high temperatures. It was highly focused and easy to aim. Even the depletion rate of the core was only half of its predecessor, the Siegel Model VI, which was introduced twenty years ago. Mystic energy could be focused within a range of two hundred meters without dispersing. It could be fired twice within half an hour, and it only needed two hours to cool down. Apart from the ridiculous weight and heat leakage problems that still left people helpless, in Hardy's eyes, it was perfect.
The inferior Mystic Guns that were unknowingly sold into the underground black market through the country's arms trade but lacked maintenance and maintenance were like wooden sticks to steel swords compared to this gun.
"The target has entered our field of vision. Prepare to aim!"
A strong gunner raised his hand and knelt down on one knee. He used his shoulder, which was wearing a special shoulder armor, to support the heat-resistant base at the front of the gun.
A smart gunner quickly calculated the distance and direction. He turned the button on the side of the gun and adjusted the focus and energy scale.
A decisive operator skillfully checked the gun's status. After confirming that the core was stable, he opened the safety lock and grabbed the firing handle.
'One day …' Hardy thought silently. 'It will no longer be heavy. Two people or even one person can hold it.
It was no longer complicated. One person could aim and fire.
It was no longer dangerous. The core would not become the Ferry Bell of Hell's River that could endanger the gunner's life at any moment.
It was no longer expensive, and every soldier would be equipped with it in battle, instead of being limited to a small team of a few dozen people.
It was no longer mysterious. The nuclear core was no longer a mysterious item that was imported through special channels. Everyone knew its origin and principle.
One day … Hardy gently looked at the Mystic Gun beside him that had entered firing mode. He subconsciously touched his broken left arm and felt the dull pain on the left side of his face.
It would become the King of War, take away the pride of the Power of Eradication, and completely eliminate metal weapons and physical combat from the world.
Even in the North.
It would tell people how heavy the price of war was and how precious peace was.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it.
"Attack position!"
Hardy solemnly raised his right hand and shouted the second last word.
Ten shooters pulled on the handle with built-in springs, and the mysterious core at the back of the gun began to vibrate and make disturbing noises.
Hardy looked at the group of Constellatiates who had just broken through the light infantry's encirclement.
They heard that their newly found prince was inside.
Is that so?
Hardy flashed a smile.
Lucy, my daughter.
You will always be the pride of your mother and me.
No matter how desperate the situation is, you must be strong and live on.
The next moment, the weathered man, who only had half a face, smashed his right arm with all his might. His face was distorted as he roared.
"Fire!"
—
The soldiers set up a densely packed shield formation, blocking a large area of vision in front of them. Everyone else hid behind the shield formation.
"Arclight shields, distribute them evenly!" Arracca roared, "Don't miss any spot!"
Thales was pressed to the ground by Putray. He could not even lift his head.
"No matter what, hide behind the others," Putray said with a stiff expression, "Lampard must be crazy!"
Thales gritted his teeth, but he could not stop the doubts in his heart.
'Are they … Mystic Guns?'
He remembered that not long ago, Morris of the Brotherhood had gotten two of them from the army at a high price … but he gave them to his subordinates for self-defense.
At least, that was what Layork said.
Thales had always thought that aside from using mysterious energy, it was similar to the weapons in his previous life. They were weapons that could be raised and fired at the enemy.
But now, it seemed more complicated.
At least, looking at how Arracca and the rest looked as if they were facing a great enemy, it should be …
At this moment, Arracca roared madly, "Fire!"
The soldiers clenched their teeth and trembled. They held the metallic arclight shields in their hands even tighter.
A strong, crimson red light attacked from the front!
The light penetrated the shield formation.
The weather was very cold, but at this moment, it was as if they were being shone by the sun. A gentle warmth enveloped them.
"Hold on, scatter them away …" Before Arracca could finish speaking, a strange change occurred around the Constellatiates.
* Swoosh … *
The moment the snowy ground beside them came into contact with the red light, the accumulated snow immediately shrunk and turned into water, then evaporated into thin air!
Thales frowned slightly … 'This is?'
The red light spread to a short tree on the snowy ground.
Thales stared at the top and bottom of the tree in bewilderment. Every inch of the tree instantly turned black and then emitted tongues of fire.
The next moment, the small tree suddenly exploded, and countless sparks burst forth!
* Boom! *
The flying sparks scattered to the crowd. Many of the soldiers screamed in pain. The shield formation suddenly trembled.
"Hold on!" Arracca roared, "Ten seconds or so is enough!"
Thales was horrified to feel that the air around him was continuously heating up.
It was getting hotter and hotter!
Until the warmth turned into a merciless scorching heat!
Even the temperature in his body was rising.
'What's going on?'
Thales thought in a panic. 'What is a Mystic Gun? Why does it have such an effect? '
"No … The heat coming from the shield …" A veteran of the Fury Guards pressed against the shield. His clothes had already started to turn black and curl up, emitting smoke.
He shut his eyes tightly and replied with a trembling voice, "At least five of them are firing at us at the same time! Our anti-mystic equipment … arclight shields are not enough! "
"We still have to hold on!" Arracca roared loudly. He drew the Motionless Bow, which had no bowstring, from his back. "I will block the excessive attacks!"
At this moment, a soldier's hand, which was holding onto the arclight shield, suddenly burst into flames!
He screamed in pain and took a step back under Arracca's shocked gaze.
The soldier's shield swayed. A ray of red light passed through the gap and shone on his body.
"No …" Before Arracca could shout in shock and anger, the soldier's screams exploded before he could.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Within a few seconds, the soldier trembled madly. The clothes on his body were the first to emit smoke.
When the red light shone on his feet, the snow on his body instantly evaporated into gas!
Thales felt his scalp go numb as he watched the soldier's skin start to melt. The next moment, there was a "teng" sound from his body and endless tongues of fire emerged.
After another second, the soldier's body exploded like the small tree and exploded into countless sparks!
* Boom! *
Thales watched in horror as this life disappeared.
What was left of the soldier was a charred, dried corpse.
However, his death brought about irreversible consequences.
"Block the gap …" Before Arracca could finish shouting, the burnt remains of the corpse splattered everywhere in the shield formation, igniting many soldiers who were holding up shields to block the attack.
"Ah!" "No!" "Hold on!" "It's so hot …"
Screams rang out one after another!
The shield formation immediately dispersed!
The red light shone into the crowd without any cover.
The surrounding temperature suddenly increased explosively!
The snow on the ground evaporated inch by inch.
Thales felt a chill in his heart.
'No.
'This is bad.'
At this moment, Arracca stood up with a furious roar. He charged forward and stood firmly in front of everyone.
* Bang! * His hair was instantly set on fire.
The Kingdom's Wrath raised his Motionless Bow resolutely in the direction where the red light shone — in the direction of the small group of Eckstedt soldiers.
The Motionless Bow trembled slightly.
Then, it emitted a strong silver light that was not inferior to the shot from the Mystic Gun!
When the red light from the Mystic Gun met the silver light, it suddenly weakened and scattered in all directions.
It was as if the silver light had sealed off the path of the Mystic Gun's red light.
Arracca roared. His right hand, which was holding the Motionless Bow, began to emit smoke.
But he still persisted.
However, the area of the silver light was not enough. Arracca could only block in front of the people in the center. There were still many soldiers at the periphery who were shot by the red light from the Mystic Gun.
* Boom! * The second soldier turned into a huge fireball and immediately exploded.
"No, no, no … Boom!" The third.
"Ah ah ah!"
Genard covered his right shoulder in pain, which was illuminated by the silver light. He was desperately dragged back to the area protected by the silver light by Willow. During this process, one of the black-haired soldier's short spears suddenly exploded into countless sparks.
"He can't hold on for long!" Aida shouted through gritted teeth.
"I can't die here!" This was Ramon.
"Bring His Highness out!" Wya said while sweating.
"No, there are too many Mystic Guns," Putray said with difficulty, "We can't escape!"
While everyone was in a mess, no one noticed that the Second Prince of Constellation was in a strange state.
The moment the silver light erupted from the Motionless Bow, Thales experienced that electric shock again.
And it was even more severe than when he was on Arracca's back. It was as if the silver-black metal bow that was emitting silver light was rejecting every corner of his body.
Thales lay on the snow-covered ground. His face was contorted and trembling.
'No.
'Is the legendary anti-mystic equipment … really rejecting me this much?'
The silver light suddenly weakened.
Arracca's right hand started to catch fire.
In the endless scorching heat, the Kingdom's Wrath still gritted his teeth and endured.
A few rays of red light leaked in and shone on Thales' body.
At that moment, Thales suddenly shuddered. His clothes started to smoke.
He only felt the cells in his body suddenly heat up.
'So hot.'
It was as if he was on fire from the inside out.
That familiar fluctuation surged through his entire body. Time seemed to have slowed down again.
In the vision provided by the fluctuation, the red light and the silver light were like two pairs of enemies that were strangling each other, melting each other. However, where the light intersected, the silver light obviously had the upper hand. It was just that there were more red lights.
However, at the same time, Thales only felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter.
'No.
'So hot.'
Thales closed his eyes in despair. He opened his mouth wide and howled as he felt the heat that was almost burning him.
He stretched out his hand and screamed.
'So hot!'
Then, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
* Thud! *
A feeling that he had never felt before assaulted his senses.
At that moment, Thales only felt that his vision had penetrated the distance. He saw the origin of the red light — the Mystic Guns in the hands of the soldiers.
At the back of those Mystic Guns, there was a constantly rotating core that was emitting yellow light.
'That is the essence of the Mystic Guns.' Thales had this feeling.
'But …
'These damned red lights … Hurry up and disappear.
'So hot!
'At least …
'Stay away from me.
'So hot!'
Just as he thought that, in the next moment, in the vision provided by the mysterious fluctuation, the entire world before Thales' eyes seemed to shake violently!
In his field of vision that others could not see, the crimson light from the Mystic Guns suddenly scattered as if it had a mind of its own. It made a turn in the air, avoided the Constellatiates, and shot behind them.
* Swoosh — Swoosh — *
The snow on the ground a few hundred meters behind the Constellatiates instantly evaporated!
In the next second, the red light from the Mystic Guns disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Arracca knelt on the ground with a thud. However, he still fiercely raised his burning right hand and extinguished the flames on his head and hands.
The Constellatiates seemed to heave a sigh of relief and fell to the ground one after another.
In the scorching air, many of the soldiers had already turned into charred corpses or were burned to death.
"One round of shooting has ended. It seems that their aim was not very accurate …" Arracca gritted his teeth and climbed up. He said, "But if they were using Siegel 7 …"
At this moment, a shrill horn resounded through the sky!
* Beep — *
Arracca furrowed his brows.
Putray and the other veterans suddenly trembled!
"We survived!" Putray's lips trembled as he survived the disaster. He shut his eyes tightly.
"This is … This is Eckstedt's retreat bugle call!"
The hurried sound of hooves came from afar.
A knight wearing a gray helmet galloped towards them.
"Enough! The Kingdom's Wrath! "The knight wearing the gray helmet shouted from afar," There have been enough battles and deaths! "
Arracca raised his head and laughed mockingly, "Tolja! The Fire Knight!
Come! " He raised his almost charred right hand and the Motionless Bow that was almost brand new. He gritted his teeth and said, "Step over my dead body and take it!
Come and take the Motionless Bow that I snatched from your hands twelve years ago! "
"The battle between us has ended!" With a solemn expression, Lord Tolja said discontentedly from his horse, "One of the ten co-rulers of Eckstedt, the honorable Archduke of Black Sand Region, Lord Chapman Lampard, has invited the Second Prince of Constellation, His Highness Thales Jadestar to meet him!"
Arracca was startled. "Are you messing with me?"
At this moment, Putray cried out in shock.
Thales had no idea what happened after that.
He only had one feeling now.
Pain.
Numbness from the pain.
Numbness from the pain!
This was the aftereffect of the previous time when he 'lost control'. Now, it struck him again.
Intense pain erupted from all over his body in waves.
It was even more severe than the last time!
It was as if every molecule in his body was cracking and collapsing. Then, this pain was transmitted to every nerve in his body.
"What's wrong with him?" Thales tried his best to open his eyes and saw a knight wearing a gray helmet in front of him. He lowered his head to look at the vigilant Arracca.
"Maybe he's exhausted. After all, it's such a long journey …" This was Putray's anxious voice.
"Oh God, His Highness is bleeding … No, no, his breathing is weakening!" This was Wya, who was panic-stricken.
"Where's that doctor? Let him come here! "
The last thing Thales saw before he lost consciousness was Ralf, who was running towards him anxiously, and Ramon, who was dragged over by Aida.
—
'Those two voices again …' Thales thought in a daze, 'It's like a dream.
I'll probably forget about it once I wake up? '
"Oh, it's him again? How long has it been? Just a few minutes? Forget it. This time, it can finally stay, right? "
"Yes, although the buoyancy of the soul is still strong, I can feel that its body is close to collapsing … Wait! It's different from the last time. Someone is stimulating the potential in its body and mending its life … And its life force seems to be exuberant, too exuberant. "
"It can't be. When was the last time we encountered such a tough fellow? Thousands, hundreds, or decades ago? I can't remember clearly. I think it was that arrogant knight cum wizard? Sigh, what does mother think? "
"… Mother is still unwilling to accept it."
"I can only say that having a strong life force is a good thing … Even mother is lenient …"
"There's no point in thinking too much. Mother has her own plans."
"Do you still remember the Sovereign of the Abyss from a long time ago? He even had three of his hearts destroyed by that calamity … Tsk tsk, that scream could even be heard clearly from the lowest level. Mother was about to accept him, but he actually struggled and crawled back … "
"Silence! Prepare to open the countercurrent gate … It's going back. "
"Sigh, let's hope that the next time it comes down, it won't go back …"
—
In a dark thicket of unknown address.
A delicate girl slowly stood up from under a tree.
"I thought Hei Lan would be the first to arrive." The Blood Mystic, Giza Streelman smiled. Without turning her head, she said softly, "After all, I caused such a huge commotion.
After so many years, it seems that she has become lazy. "
Right after she finished speaking, a man slowly walked out of the thicket behind her.
"Do you know who I am?" Giza smiled charmingly and stroked her hair.
The man did not speak.
"If you knew, why would you dare to follow me all the way here?"
Giza smiled sweetly and turned around.
The man remained silent.
It was as if he did not hear anything.
This was a man who, no matter how one looked at him, was ordinary and unremarkable.
Ordinary looks, ordinary clothes, ordinary figure, ordinary temperament.
It was difficult for him to leave any impression on anyone.
Except for the left side of his waist.
Two weapons were tied to the belt there.
One of the weapons was wrapped tightly in old sackcloth. It was barely visible that it was long.
Giza raised her eyebrows slightly.
Under the sackcloth, she sensed a hint of an annoying presence.
And the man's other weapon seemed to be a sword.
But the shape was not very regular.
The man was still expressionless.
But he moved. He held the irregular sword at his waist in a backhand grip.
He slowly drew it out.
"Are you sure you want to use a sword against me?"
Giza exhaled softly. "You don't look like a commoner …"
The man still did not speak.
He only raised the sword without changing his expression.
It was as if he was doing the most insignificant thing.
Giza smiled softly.
In the next moment, she saw the sword in the man's hand.
'That sword.'
The Blood Mystic's expression darkened slightly.
'It's a strange sword.
'More importantly.
'It's …
From the hilt to the blade.
A strange sword that was completely black.
