In the sky above the Winter Fort Fortress Chain that was covered by the strange starry sky, several gray-painted dragon riders were cruising at a low speed under the cover of the night. The dim light of runes flashed slowly in a few corners of the aircraft, merging with the stars in the sky, making the reconnaissance team as difficult to detect as ghosts in the night sky.
One of the aircraft lowered its altitude cautiously. A crystal device placed under the aircraft shimmered as the precisely calibrated mechanical device pointed to the ground below. The surface of the crystal reflected the white-hot battlefield in the distance.
The iron-gray giant was flattening the last line of defense at the foot of the mountain. Its awe-inspiring body was covered in scars. A large amount of rust-like mist gushed out from the gaps in its armor, entangling with the lava flowing on the ground and the surging magic turbulence in the air to form a huge structure like a cloak. The cloak draped over the giant's back, and wherever it passed, the earth was scorched.
The images from the aerial reconnaissance aircraft were transmitted to the rear through the high-powered magic net hubs on the edge of the battlefield and the temporary transit nodes carried by the ground troops. After crossing the long line of battle, it was finally presented to Gwen.
In the command center of Winter Wolf Fort, Gwen and a group of commanders stood in front of a large sand table and a projection of the magic net. The voice from the distant battlefield was mixed with some distortion and crackling noises. "… It is observable that the God of War has been severely injured … but it is not enough to stop him. Typhon's ground troops have suffered heavy losses and have broken through to the final line of defense of Winter Fort. Our ground troops have also been affected, but the main force is still intact. "
"It seems that the God of War is really enraged by Typhon …" Looking at the image of the furious and terrifying giant, Gwen could not help but sigh softly. "Even if he has become a mad god, there is still such a clear emotional change as' anger '…"
"Why doesn't he attack Winter Fort directly?" Amber could not help but frown. "He has destroyed so many things along the way, and it seems that nothing can withstand his direct attack. No matter how strong Winter Fort's defenses are, it should not be too far off … but the God of War does not seem to have the intention to attack directly."
"This means that there is something in Winter Fort that is more attractive to him. It allows a mad god to retain a trace of sanity in his delirious state." Gawain said in a serious tone. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Lady Diana, who was standing quietly not far away. This woman who called herself 'heartless' had been standing there since the beginning, silent like a statue. It was clear that she had no interest in divulging more secrets about her master to the Cecil people here.
But Gwen did not intend to get anything from Lady Diana. Besides … even if she did not say anything, he could probably guess that there was something in Winter Fort that was attracting the mad God of War.
The strange starry sky that covered the entire Winter Fort area and the faint special aura in the depths of the starry sky could not be hidden. Gwen could tell that it was related to the power of God. The God of War was obviously going for the source of this power of God. And in Typhon's camp, there was only one thing that was directly related to the power of God and its manifestation was related to the starry sky. At the same time, it was inextricably linked to the Augustus family … There was only one thing that was directly related to the power of God.
It was the "Curse of the God's Eye" from ancient times that had lasted for more than 200 years.
"Rosetta … I hope you know what you are doing …" Gwen could not help but sigh softly as if he was talking to himself. "I don't intend to deal with two out of control gods in a row …"
At this moment, a white light flashed on the monitor screen from afar, and a huge mushroom cloud rose again. The light above one of the peaks of Winter Fort suddenly became many times brighter, and the iron-gray giant, who was caught in the big explosion, had many more scars on his body. Once again, he walked out of the flowing lava and overflowing magic turbulence, and the dancing "cape" behind him seemed a little bigger.
The god who had lost control crushed the last barrier in front of him. He began to climb the tallest mountain.
Almost at the same time, the warning of the reconnaissance team came. "Attention, the target has begun to climb the main peak of Winter Fort. I repeat, the target has begun to climb the main peak of Winter Fort. Typhon's defense line is about to be completely penetrated!"
Gawain furrowed his brows tightly. A moment later, he abruptly turned to look at Philip. "When will the Requiem arrive at the battlefield? Where is the Winter? "
"The Requiem Squadron is already on standby at the edge of the battlefield, but they need a more stable 'working environment'," Philip said quickly. "Let's hope the Typhon can further weaken the power of the God of War. Otherwise, our air units will not be able to get close. As for the Winter …"
Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out from the surveillance screen. Everyone immediately looked towards the direction of the Mana Net projection and saw the iron-gray giant raise its arm, and a huge arrow instantly landed on the mountain closest to the main peak of Winter Wolf Fort. With a huge explosion that could be seen directly from Winter Wolf Fort, the entire mountain was completely engulfed in a blazing, bright cloud of explosion, and the mana pillar that rose from the mountain was completely extinguished at the same time.
At this point, most of the huge light beams around Winter Fort had been extinguished. Only the last few light beams pierced through the darkness like the last strand of courage of mortals, tenaciously standing in the night sky.
Everyone subconsciously quieted down as their eyes fell on the shining light beams in the night sky. The few scattered light beams looked like they were on the verge of being swallowed by the darkness.
…
Everyone subconsciously quieted down as they looked at the few remaining light beams on the mountain peaks in the distance. Palin Winter Fort had unknowingly clenched his teeth, and his livid face was filled with coldness.
The extinguishing of every light beam meant heavy casualties. The best combat mages and commanders of the Empire had died in the earth-shattering explosion in batches. Among them were people Palin knew — his friends, his political enemies, his schoolmates he met when he was studying at the Royal Association of Mages, and the young talents he had personally mentored.
Now, those light beams were extinguished one by one. Those that were still bright were still carrying out the mission given to them — to put as much of the Annihilation Venture as possible on the head of the enraged and mad god.
Every time such an attack was likely to attract the attention of the mad god, and death would come in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the courage required to carry out the order was beyond everyone's imagination.
The giant began to climb the ridge of the main peak of Winter Fort. It began to climb the only way to the top of the mountain, just like how the giant king Protondal climbed the world's pillar in the myths of the northern natives. As for Palin, Rosetta, the royal mages, and the lords of Knight, who were guarding Winter Fort, at this moment, even without the magic illusion transmitted by the Mage's Eye, they could see the terrifying scene as long as they went to the balcony on the west side of the castle and looked down.
The iron-gray giant was advancing step by step towards the fortress at the top of the mountain. It was unwavering, without blood or tears.
Palin Winter Fort silently calculated the speed of the giant's advance, the distance from the foot of the mountain to Winter Fort, and how long it would take for the "monster" to break through the defense line that Typhon had built with the strength of the entire kingdom … During this period, how many more chances would the valiant combat mages have to attack? How many more chances could the Winter Fort Fortress put the risk of annihilation on top of the enemy's head? Twice? Or three times?
He subconsciously looked at the communication crystal placed not far away. His Majesty no longer gave specific instructions for each attack. The last order he issued half an hour ago was to "continue the attack with maximum firepower." Since then, the instructions from the Arcane Hall had been temporarily suspended. Now, the loyal and brave combat mages had carried out the order to the limit. Even the Count of Winter Fort began to anxiously wait for the new order from the crystal.
That could be the last order that would decide everyone's fate.
He did not know how long he had waited, but it felt like a century had passed. The light on the nearby mountains lit up twice in succession, and the giant's footsteps seemed to have knocked on everyone's heart. At this moment, he finally heard the voice of Rosetta Augustus from the crystal. "… The time is ripe. Prepare for the last round of attack."
The Count of Winter Fort was stunned. He almost thought that he was hallucinating, but he reacted in the next moment. A surge of fighting spirit burned fiercely in his heart. "Everyone, get ready! The last round of attack! "
…
"Now, fulfill your promise." In the Arcane Hall, Rosetta Augustus quietly looked at the floating empty eye not far away. "The target has been weakened to the limit. Go and trap it. We will complete the final attack."
The empty eye turned slightly, as if it was looking at Rosetta Augustus. After a few seconds, it sighed. "Sigh, to be honest, I miss the days with you … Although it may not be very pleasant for you, for me, it is a rare time in my long life that is not so boring … Oh, oh, oh, oh, I will fulfill my promise.
"Oh, oh, of course, there's no need to rush me. Of course, I'll fulfill my promise. I've already helped you block the spiritual corruption of the gods and interfere with your target's judgment. Now, it's no big deal for me to help you create the opportunity for the final strike … Just take it as a few words of farewell, Rosetta Augustus … You and your ancestors are quite interesting."
As the last syllable of the empty eye fell, the infinite starlight in the Arcane Hall suddenly began to shrink and tremble!
Not only the starlight in the Arcane Hall, but even the starlight that shrouded the entire Winter Fort area was undergoing a visible change at the same time!
In the night, the stars that did not belong to the current era suddenly began to flicker violently as if they had come alive. Countless thin lines and arcs of light spread out in an instant, and the surface of the strange starry sky rippled. The scene was like a nightmare that was descending, and also like a phantom that exhausted human imagination. After a short delay of a few seconds, the starry sky that shrouded the entire area began to shrink violently, and then began to break and disappear rapidly from the edge to the center!
The starry sky that was originally used to suppress the spiritual corruption of the god of war was broken, but the suppression and protection effect did not end there. The power of the God's Eye changed into another form: as the stars in the sky rapidly disintegrated, endless starlight fell from the sky and began to cover the giant who was climbing the mountain in layers!
This was the second miracle that happened in the Winter Fort area today. The stars that covered the sky suddenly changed into shackles and chains in a way that did not conform to geometry, optical theory, or even human observation and understanding. The iron-gray giant raised his right hand high. He had climbed the last hill outside the main wall of Winter Fort, and the mortal fortress that stood in the cold wind was right in front of him. But the shackles that descended from the sky instantly locked all of his movements, and with a force that humans could not understand and that even the gods could not resist in a short time, the giant's limbs were abruptly pulled apart, leaving him in a completely defenseless posture.
A voice roared between heaven and earth. "Do it! Augustus! The imprisonment in the dream won't last for too long! "
Almost at the same time, Typhon's people struck the final blow.
On the four mountains near the main peak of Winter Fort, the remaining light beams lit up for the last time, and with the instant overload of all the magic veins in the area, the powerful magic that had not appeared on the continent since the end of the Gondor era reappeared. The surging magic power was concentrated in all the 'Annihilation Camps' that could still operate through the magic node camps. After a very short period of accumulation, the remaining light beams shone brightly at the same time, and four dazzling and huge white light balls rose into the air.
Multiple Creations of Annihilation. There was nothing fancy, just a simple superposition of power. It was as simple and direct as the god of war depicted in the myths.
When the target had been continuously wounded, its defenses were almost completely broken, and its body was bound by the Divine Eye, such a terrifying blow would decide everything.
Palin Winterfort did not pay attention to the scene from the Mage's Eye. He went straight to the balcony on the west side of the mage tower and stared outside the castle. The dazzling light balls after the superposition of Creations of Annihilation had begun to fall from the sky, and the iron-gray giant was still firmly bound by the starlight. Its four limbs were struggling hard, and its huge body began to shift rapidly between reality and illusion. Clearly, even the mad god felt a fatal threat at this moment.
The Creations of Annihilation fell.
But at this moment, a scene that made Palin Winterfort's hands and feet go cold happened.
The iron-gray giant suddenly broke free from the starlight shackles, and its body stopped shifting abruptly. It was as if it had broken free from the shackles of a nightmare, and dodged to the side just before the Creations of Annihilation fell.
The huge light ball fell to the ground, and a mushroom cloud larger than any of the previous ones rose on the mountain road on the west side of Winterfort. A quarter of the castle was annihilated by this blow, and the giant who had broken free was completely swallowed by the shockwave at the edge of the explosion.
But Palin Winterfort knew very well, and so did Rosetta Augustus in the Arcane Hall. The target had escaped from the heart of the explosion and survived.
"One more time," Rosetta said immediately. "Trap it!"
Starlight once again appeared in the sky above Winterfort, and the Divine Eye appeared in front of Rosetta again. But this time, it did not seem to have the slightest intention of using its own power.
"The descendant of the Augustus family …" The hollow eye let out a sneer, and its tone was mocking. "You are mistaken about one thing …
"I have fulfilled my promise."
