Outside Jiansong City, Saige saw the enemy reinforcements arriving and brought the remaining Havoc Knights and warriors back to the city, sealing the gates. He then ordered his officers to lead their squads and urgently notify the residents of the city to evacuate northward.
Today's battles are no longer something that ordinary people can get involved in. Even the aftermath of the golems' attacks can harm and destroy the residents in the city.
Inside the city, under the pitch-black night, the southern sky seemed to light up, and burning fireballs passed over the towering city walls like meteors and entered the sky above the city.
With the pull of gravity, these fireballs fell and landed on the houses and arrow towers in the city. The explosion caused waves of fire and the suffocating flames swept over, flooding the streets and alleys.
Various wooden structures and combustible materials were ignited by the fireballs. Soldiers and pedestrians were running everywhere. Shouts, cries for help, and orders mixed together and rang out in every corner.
However, all this was not over yet. Just as people were running around to avoid the flames, another flaming meteor streaked across the sky. The surging fireball fell into the city with a whistling wind, exploded with a bang, and caused another wave of fire.
Looking at the endless flames and disaster scene before him, Saige gave orders to the officers behind him.
"Inform the soldiers and the residents of the city to leave immediately. First, withdraw from Jiansong City and take shelter in the northern mountains."
"There are some extraordinary people in the army, each of them acts as a team leader. When necessary, they can use their own magic power to temporarily extinguish the flames."
"Yes, General!"
Officers rushed to various parts of the city to gather their soldiers, organize them, and help the residents of the city leave.
Flames bombarded, and Jiansong City burned like a furnace, illuminating the entire valley. The bright flames cast long and messy shadows on the trees in the mountains and forests, like the dance of demons.
Several mages from the golem camp slowly flew up from the ground and looked down at the city below from high in the sky.
"That's good. We can clean the city directly, which will make it easier for us to build later." These people were wearing matte black tight-fitting robes with a few ice-blue roses embroidered on the sleeves, which looked quite exquisite.
"It's a pity for the 'Steel Axe' Legion. According to the scouting mages, almost all of them were killed by the knights of Clancy."
"It's just that things are unpredictable. No one expected those golden-red knights to be so formidable. With a single charge, they pierced through the enemy lines, attacking from both sides and completely annihilating the Steel Axe Legion's golems. If only a few minutes had passed, our follow-up troops would have arrived."
With the help of the firelight, the remaining soldiers and residents in the city slowly moved to the outside world along the shadows under the city wall. Everything in the city was like a picture scroll from hell, full of collapsed houses and twisted corpses.
From the very beginning, the war showed its recklessness and ruthlessness.
------------
Southern Islands, Colorful Island.
"Going to go, Triton?"
Standing on the dock, Sulis said goodbye to the two people in front of her.
"Yes, we will try to settle down on Coconut Breeze Island by the end of the year, and then send little Luna to school next year." Triton rubbed his hair.
"It was recommended by that young lady, right? She really considered everything."
"Yes, I met a kind young lady."
Before this sea voyage, Triton had been somewhat dismissive of so-called kindness, believing it to be nothing more than a form of pity displayed by those born into good families. However, after experiencing this journey, he found it difficult to make such arbitrary judgments.
He had received a favor from others, something he desperately needed and longed for, and he had no right to criticize others for being bad or childish. Perhaps after this incident, he would find it difficult to do something immoral again.
Because of the girl's words and actions, and the warning she gave herself before she left.
What kind of person do you want Luna to grow up to be? Do you plan to be a role model for her?
"Okay, that's it, Luna, say goodbye to Sister Sulis."
"Goodbye, Sister Sulis~"
"Goodbye, little Luna." Sulis half-knelt down and touched the cute little girl.
A burst of exclamations came from the surroundings.
"Look, look up at the sky!"
"ah....."
People on the dock looked up and it was a spectacular sight.
Huge birds with a wingspan of nearly 30 meters soared in the sky. They were stacked layer upon layer, like clouds covering the sky, covering and revealing the sun, and leaving shadows on the earth and the ocean.
"That's...the Divine Wing Bird!"
The Divine Winged Bird soars ten thousand meters above the sky with its back to the sun. Its head and back are covered with brown feathers, while its abdomen is covered with white and gray feathers. There are two slightly longer feathers on both sides of its head, like extensions of eyebrows, giving it a unique majesty.
The crowd on the ground looked up, watching these divine-winged birds flying over their heads, their mouths slightly opened in amazement.
As one of the trump cards of the Hinayue Council, the Divine Winged Birds have extremely strong battlefield support capabilities and are usually scattered across various islands.
Once the Berry Kingdom is in need, they will gather together, form a huge formation in the air, and rush to any distant battlefield.
This giant raptor that can tear through the wind has a maximum speed of nearly twice the speed of sound. It can fight against dragons of the same order without losing the upper hand. People call it the "divine wings".
Looking down at the island below, which looked like a small square on the sea blue map, a wizard on the Divine Winged Bird asked his companion on the side.
"Is this the Colorful Island?"
"Yes, this is the northernmost part of the kingdom. After leaving here, heading north is the Quiet Moon Strait. Then we fly northwest, passing Hopeland, and then head to the Black Pine River in the north."
"I didn't expect that all the members of the parliament agreed to go north to support New Wilga and help it resist the Frost Rose." The young mage sighed. Although he was now a Sequence 6, this was his first time participating in such a large-scale operation.
"It may be difficult for you young people to understand this feeling." The older wizard explained.
"It's like two people discovering a new delicacy at the same time. He likes to eat it with sugar, and you like to eat it with salt. Originally, there was nothing wrong with each of them eating their own food, but as his fame grew, he kept recommending it to people around him, and more and more people joined the ranks of those who added sugar."
"And if you continue to add salt, you become an anomaly."
"Those who come after you will not only laugh at your unpopular way of eating, but will also deeply despise and discourage you. If your children show a preference for salty food at school, they will also be bullied."
"At this moment, do you feel angry?"
"I understand." The young mage nodded.
"To put it in Eastern terms, this is a battle of orthodoxy. Only a fight can truly judge and decide which direction of the magic sequence is superior."
As the wind blew, these divine-winged birds spread their broad wings, crossed the ocean and the land, and continued to move towards the north.
