A few white dragons flew in an 'O' shape in the air, signaling to the imperial army below, telling the humans which direction they would attack from next, so that the imperial Knight could cooperate with them to disperse the attacks of the crystal clusters.
Seeing this scene, the representative of the northern military aristocracy, who was now more than 110 years old and had experienced the last holy war, could not help but feel his blood boiling.
A thousand years ago, in the War of the Holy Saints, the mortals, the dragons, the Silver Folk, the elves, the humans, and the dwarves also fought side by side so intimately.
What a magnificent epic that was, because under the constraint of the sacred covenant, the races of the continent fought together against the darkness.
"Attack," he raised the sword in his hand and pointed straight ahead, "Twelve dukes, counts of the empire, Knight, listen to my command, my brothers, young men! For victory, for the empire, attack! "
"Kill!"
The knights marched forward in rows, making noises that sounded like a tsunami. On the frontline of human beings, they were like a silver belt of light that crossed the scorched land and collided with the tide-like crystal clusters.
Then the second, the third …
"Release the arrows!"
The longbowmen of the empire began to take deep breaths, calibrating their posture, and then released their hands. There was a sharp sound, like a scythe sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Armor-piercing steel arrows with conical arrowheads rose into the sky like locusts, then burst into circles of bright magic arrays, and the arrows passed through these magic arrays one by one.
Sharp, Enemy Suppression, Flame Explosion, Acceleration, and Stability, the silver light was added layer by layer on the arrow shaft, arrow feather, and arrow through the magic arrays, falling like a rainstorm.
It was a rain of light, the raindrops fell in a disorderly manner, and the monsters at the forefront fell one by one. The empire had been at war with the Hazell people for many years, facing the latest generation of Hazell magic constructs, the Heavy Knight Hunter Trial, and the Pusher Fortress. Naturally, they were not inferior to the smugglers on the Rosaleen border who were not at a disadvantage.
The Dragon Spear used by the smugglers was a product of the Hazaire people about five years ago. Now, it was almost obsolete for civilian use. As for the military constructs, the Hazaire Empire had always regarded them as a prohibited secret.
In front of the truly powerful human empires and in front of the smugglers, the Crystal Cluster, who flaunted its prowess in front of the smugglers, clearly did not have much of an advantage.
The casualty ratio between the two sides was constant at a certain ratio, but the heavy pressure came from the dark storm. Countless crystal clusters were emerging as if there was no end to them.
Almost all the Cruz commanders on the battlefield looked in that direction with a grave expression.
The feelings in his heart were complicated and hard to understand.
Less than half a month ago, that place was still known as Bank City, the capital of the Empire. It represented the will of the Silver Queen and commanded the army that obeyed her orders to sweep towards East Metz.
Since the fall of the Black Moon, Her Majesty's army had collapsed, but the enemy still came from that direction. It was just that this time, it was more ferocious and suffocating. In the dark storm, there seemed to be a frenzied will that wanted to destroy the entire human world.
On the night when dusk fell, the frontline in East Metz was almost instantly hit hard. After the central legion of the Empire suffered a near-destructive blow, almost the entire establishment disappeared.
The heavy losses caused the Black Legion, who was guarding the Ludwig area directly opposite, to sort out the exact news of the frontline only after two days.
Almost the entire Bank City had completely fallen. The traffic in the direction of the Sublime Inland Sea was also completely cut off. They had lost contact with the Cloak Bay. The White Legion had lost more than half of its members, and there was still no news of the Azure Legion. The Hazaire people, who were also neighbors of the Bank City, had lost many of their men. But at this time, the Dukes of the Empire no longer cared about the situation of their original enemies.
Because the Crystal Cluster army had begun to advance towards the Metz area again.
Endless monsters poured out from the storm. If it were not for the timely arrival of the dragons, the Cruz people might have directly retreated to the front line of Fattan Port.
But even so, the situation was still not optimistic.
If it was the Empire under the rule of the Holy Cathedral of Fire in its heyday, they might be able to contend with the Crystal Cluster army. But now, the Cruz people had lost two-thirds of their Empire. On the other side of the Evergreen Corridor, due to the heavy impact of the Black Moon's fall on Anzeruta and the Rokezi Highlands, a fault zone of thousands of kilometers long formed there, completely destroying the Empire's local grassroots organization.
Now, from Vargas to Loen, it was a mess. Only Anzeruta on the border was not affected. The nobles there were trying to get in touch with the Wilderness of the Four Territories, but so far, they had not been able to get in touch with the Metz area and the Red Legion.
The Evergreen Corridor was cut in two. Although Valla, the old Chancellor Nidevan, and Veronica, who had just arrived in Mehotofen, had already gotten in touch with Fattan Port, the envoys sent to Saint-ausol and Fanzin for help had yet to bring back any news.
It was as if the whole world had fallen into a fragmented silence. For the people of the Empire, who were under the attack of Twilight, this kind of depression was especially heavy.
Needless to say, the Crystal Clusters were getting stronger every day. The rising tides from the sea of magic were like endless nutrients supporting them to devour the whole world.
The attack of the Empire's Knight had some effect.
But it was very limited.
After two attacks, the empire's heavy spear-wielding infantrymen regained their footing and pushed the battle line back to the south bank of the Meclo River. Silver flashes flashed in the sky, and then silver meteors fell through the clouds. The crystal clusters far and near immediately swelled up and exploded into dazzling explosions.
Countless Crystal Cluster limbs were lifted into the sky and then fell, covering the entire wilderness.
Levto picked up his pocket watch. The needle had moved fifteen grids, and he sighed. The time that the magicians could hold on was getting shorter and shorter. The reason was that Her Majesty the Queen had divided the Holy Cathedral of Fire and taken away too many bishops and priests, which was a heavy blow to the Empire's magicians.
There were not many people who escaped from the Bankel area, and even fewer priests. If it were not for Valla gathering the local forces after the appearance of these monsters, there would be even fewer magicians in the hands of the military nobles.
But even now, they could not hold on much longer.
He silently calculated the time and was about to send in the next wave of Knight, but it was at this time that the sky suddenly flashed a thousand times brighter.
"This …"
Duke Leffto Reina jerked his head back.
A dazzling rain of light slowly fell from the sky. They were like countless lines descending from the sky and connecting to the horizon.
Then, a terrifying explosion occurred in the front line of the Crystal Clusters. In an instant, the explosion almost covered the entire battlefield. The shock wave swept across, and even the human heavy infantry at the front row were overturned.
After the rain of light, the thick clouds in the sky immediately closed again, as if everything that happened just a moment ago was just an illusion.
However, the old duke looked at the front line that had been blasted to the ground. For the first time in days, the Crystal Cluster offensive had paused for a moment. The scorched earth and the confused Imperial infantrymen who were crawling up from the ground reminded him of the reality of what had just happened.
"A strategic spell?" A low-level commander's exclamation came from afar. "Is it the Red Army's magician group supporting us? Have they contacted the Wilderness of Four Territories?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
But Duke Leffto Reina was silent for a moment, and shook his head firmly. His gray-blue eyes flashed like flames.
"It's the Buga."
"The Silver Folk are here —"
Aloz flew over the human front line, leaving a huge shadow on the ground. This was the third time she had bypassed the Meclo River. The little female dragon's huge golden pupils reflected the scorched ground, and the human Knight and archers were cheering.
In the past, she would have sneered at these ants, but at this time, her heart was full of soft feelings.
How similar this scene was.
Just like the war a thousand years ago.
Those annoying mortals, at times like this, often showed admirable courage. They were fighting for their homeland, fighting side by side with her.
Every time this happened, a small figure would appear in her heart.
"Hmph," she snorted softly, and thought, "Stupid human, stupid Brando."
"Aloz, continue to the left, pay attention to the left wing, cover the human heavy Knight's flank."
The majestic voice descended from the clouds, and the rebellious little female dragon did not dare to have the slightest objection in the face of this voice, because it was the pride of the dragons, closest to the will of the Dragon God.
That was an order from Gwyneth herself.
She somersaulted in mid-air, and immediately flew south along the tangential line of the Meclo River, with Flora and the other three black dragons following closely behind her.
This was already the second time she had cut diagonally in the direction of Keswaru. The battlefield of the dragons was far larger than what humans saw on the ground. Every time they cut along the entire battlefield, their flight path was distributed over the battlefield with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.
She knew that this time she had to cut close to Rushta, where the dragons had already blocked the flying crystal clusters once.
"Looks like there's something new in that 'hole'." The little female dragon thought silently.
… …
