In the center of the empire, the city of goose-white stones.
This big city located in the valley is layered and tall, like a series of huge trapezoids, with platforms and towers intertwined with each other, making it extremely difficult to break through in one step.
Its walls and main body are built with local cobblestones and lime plaster, showing bright white in the sun, magnificent and majestic.
Today, soldiers are standing closely on the walls and platforms of this huge city. They hold muskets, aim them downwards and into the air, firing continuously, sending bullets into the enemy's chest.
The sound of continuous artillery fire rang in our ears from time to time, some from the enemy, some from our own side. The continuous firing of those cannons made everyone dare not to be at peace or relax for a moment.
Artillery shells occasionally landed on the city walls, sending up flying debris and injuring and blowing away many soldiers.
Below the city was an endless sea of people, but these Western Alliance forces were not standing densely. They were spread out to avoid the bullets shooting overhead, holding up their shields and moving forward, crossing the exploded craters, and then approaching the blind spot of the enemy's shooting under the city.
The battlefield in the sky is even more intense.
The knights riding griffins circled under the halo of the sun, and from time to time they cast "thunder flame arrows" that were full of lightning and sparks. These golden arrows were very thick, filled with compacted liquid, and the outer shell was dark gold in color. The enchantment on them could enable them to penetrate the isolation shield on the fortress and shoot these thunder flame arrows into the fortress.
Once these lightning arrows hit a hard object, their heads would shatter under the trigger of the firing pin, and fiercely burning kerosene would flow out, mixed with crystal fragments. These would explode under the high temperature, splashing kerosene onto the surrounding soldiers, turning them into living fireballs.
Although such weapons are difficult to make, the Salus family has stockpiled countless of them over the centuries. Carried by brave and powerful griffin knights, they fell into the fortress castle like a rain of fire.
Inside the city, the originally wooden houses and buildings turned into a sea of fire under the bombardment of the lightning arrows. The thick fire and smoke were everywhere, making it difficult to breathe.
Even though the court wizards in the city had tried their best to snipe these griffin knights in the air, the effect was still minimal. Most of the magic arrows were directly avoided, and the casting of large spells would be interfered with by the opposing mage team.
In order to cope with this overwhelming bombing, the Empire had to mobilize the few dragon knights of the royal family for support.
The five royal knights riding on golden-scaled dragons fought fiercely with the griffin knights of the Salus family in the sky.
Dragon's breath like a beam of light swept across the sky, drowning several approaching griffin knights, but some griffin knights always avoided the blazing dragon's breath and approached the huge dragon's body.
He gripped the golden lightning spear tightly in his hand, the spiral tip of the spear shone, and the long spear wrapped in lightning shot out and pierced into the body of the giant dragon in front of him.
These specially made dragon-slaying weapons have a penetrating ability on dragon scales and dragon skin that exceeds that of ordinary weapons. After the lightning spear is inserted into the dragon's body, it immediately bursts out with violent lightning, corroding the surrounding flesh and blood like a curse, paralyzing it and making it lose consciousness, as if it were dead.
If only a lightning spear could not do anything to the dragon, these powerful creatures always have a toughness that other creatures can hardly imagine. But when one lightning spear after another penetrated the dragon's wings and pierced the dragon's scales, several of the dragons began to be overwhelmed. Their wings flapped slower and slower, the dragon's breath in the air became weaker and weaker, and their movements became slower and slower.
Another group of griffin knights attacked, and finally these dragons finally fell down wailing in the midst of lightning and fell to the ground.
The huge dragon body smashed into the high tower of the fortress, breaking and destroying it, revealing the gray bricks and stones inside. Then it continued to fall down and rolled onto the platform on the city wall, crushing and knocking away soldiers one by one, causing a burst of escape and wailing.
Watching the Empire's dragon knights fall one by one, the Griffin Knights of the Salus family cheered in the air, holding high their victorious lightning spears, their figures blurred and huge in the halo of the sun.
After the sky fell, the resistance in the fortress became passive. These griffin knights were divided into several teams and attacked and harassed day and night, making the defenders in the city exhausted. More and more imperial garrisons fell in flames and arrows.
Just as the defenders in the city were becoming increasingly desperate, reinforcements finally arrived one evening.
There was only one man in the group. The figure riding a white horse crossed the barricades and obstacles outside the city and rushed forward alone, like a golden meteor flying across the earth, bringing with it flashes of sword light.
When they arrived at the foot of the city, the figure on horseback leaped up, stepped on the broken wall, and flew into the air. Only then could the people below see his face clearly.
War Sequence 7: Dancing Blades, Orone.
Praised by sages as a genius on par with Bumansa, he once single-handedly slew the Pascal family's Dragon of Doom. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he gradually retired from the army, but now he appears on the battlefield again.
After rushing to rescue the endangered Langkouling Fortress, Euryone, who received the call for help, rushed to the endangered Ebaishi Castle again.
Above the sky, the figures of the Griffin Knights were like a cloud covering the sky. There were hundreds of them, and each of them was equipped with a White-Feathered Griffin of no less than Sequence 4. Just as they were about to suppress the sky above the fortress and raid the rear hinterland, a golden figure finally broke into their formation.
The golden sword blade spun at high speed, like a blooming golden flame flower. In the blink of an eye, it flew across hundreds of meters in the sky, leaving behind a dazzling and brilliant trajectory. Countless feathers and blood splashed everywhere, and the griffin knights also fell like rain, spilling blood into the sky.
