Chapter 620 618: Destroy the defense line and advance!
It should be said that the generation gap between magical weapons of the same type is an almost insurmountable chasm.
As an aircraft, a first-generation fighter jet is at best a flying piece of metal;
The second-generation fighter jets began to focus on design, power and alchemical enchantment, combining speed, agility, control and magic shields.
The increase in combat power is not a little bit!
By the third and fourth generations, there will be a collection of all kinds of black technologies that were previously unimaginable.
Things like hypersonic speed, triple shield, tactical missiles, beyond-visual-range strikes, void hovering, radar scanning, holographic vision, magic eye locking, ballistic calculation, etc. have all been developed.
At this time, using the fourth-generation aircraft against the first-generation aircraft is the so-called dimensionality reduction attack, which is pure bullying!
Just like a powerful natural disaster facing a mortal, with one against ten thousand, it is only a matter of time before they are all killed.
The same principle applies to floating cities.
Although both Lion City and Silver Top are floating cities, the difference in their technological content is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.
Julius Martin, the chief architect of Lion City, once conducted an in-depth discussion with many legendary mages and natural disaster mechanical mages from Flower Territory.
The direction of discussion is the gap between the two floating cities!
Although there are many speculations about the Silver Top, the language used is full of uncertain words such as "maybe", "almost", "seem", "should", "I think", etc.
However, the report submitted still has strong reference value.
For example, many mages unanimously believe that the strongest point of the Silvertop is that it has built a complete ecological circulation system, thus achieving a certain degree of self-sufficiency.
This is the basis for them to navigate the astral realm!
Otherwise, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, clothing, food, housing, transportation, population growth and environmental pollution will all be huge problems that cannot be solved.
In this regard, Lion City has not yet started and is heavily dependent on external material supplies.
Even when sailing within a plane, you have to land and replenish every once in a while.
For example, the flying speed. The Lion City is at most an aerial flying platform. Its huge size means it cannot go faster even if it wants to.
According to the design, the normal cruising speed can only reach 70 kilometers per hour.
If pushed to the limit and full power is enabled, the car can accelerate to 120 kilometers per hour.
Any faster and the huge city might fall apart.
As for the Silvertop floating city, although its speed has not been demonstrated, it is obvious that in order to sail in the boundless starry sky, it must have the ability to distort space on a large scale and perform point-to-point teleportation.
The technological gap is so great that even the mechanical mages who work with flowers can’t figure out how many generations there are.
And this involves the energy issue!
The Lion City is connected by multiple mage towers and magic energy pools. Although it can fly, the energy is just barely enough.
The Nether Core of the Silvertop is the essence of the main material plane after its sinking. It is like a perpetual motion machine with almost infinite energy.
In addition, there are fish-scale-shaped high-energy magic barrier protection shield, multiple arcane towers combined with destructive-level war magic, temporary sacrificial platform, mental projection cabin and other advantages.
Comparing the two, the gap between the Lion and the Silvertop is like the distance between a fishing boat and an ironclad ship at sea.
To be honest, when this report was handed to Luo Yi, he was filled with anger.
It is really a treasure that we have made with all our efforts, and now it has been devalued to the point of being worthless. If you were in my shoes, you would not be happy either.
However, good leaders always face up to their shortcomings and then find ways to solve them.
Loy’s solution is to engage in differentiated competition.
What I mean is, I don’t have to be better than you in everything, but as long as I’m better than you in one aspect, I can still catch you off guard.
This idea was vigorously developed after the long-range missile project was conquered, and a series of mature combat plans were formed.
Until today, it is displayed vividly.
The Magic Eyes of Lion City were directly integrated into the Helka Near-Orbit Magic Eyes network system.
Hundreds of demonic eyes were working at full capacity, not even bothering to conceal themselves, but revealing their tracks from the void.
The magic eyes cast their gazes on the floating continent, able to penetrate most obstructions and take in all scenes.
Then Deep Blue's super computing power was brought into play, various data were imported, and precise decimeter landing point calculations and missile task allocation were performed.
When all this data is transmitted to each missile, we have the current grand scene.
The Lion City was like a hedgehog. Amidst countless flames and rising smoke, missiles, with brilliant tails of flame, drew arc-shaped trajectories and landed on the battlefield.
The landing point was so accurate that even the range of the explosion's aftermath was calculated. The shock wave stopped as soon as it reached the front line of the battlefield.
For the Legion of Prayers, accidental injuries are extremely rare.
But for Arcane TC City, factories and various buildings, it was a devastating blow.
Although Loy did not like massacres and had no problem with the lower-class civilians of Netheril, he could not hold back in this war where it was a fight to the death.
All he has to do is to do everything he can to win the final victory!
Although the Arcane Tower of Netheril is highly integrated and can open up independent spaces inside, there are still mortals living on this vast land.
Now we have a city!
This abundant labor force must be utilized, and thus, various magical factories, workshops, farmlands, orchards, livestock farms, water conservancy facilities, and so on were built...
None of these had the Arcane Tower's powerful defensive force field, and were all reduced to ruins under the precise strikes of missiles.
Sometimes in war, in addition to ground attacks, we can also use air superiority to bomb behind enemy lines and carry out multi-point strikes.
The damage caused by this wave alone is devastating.
But that’s not all!
After the first round of bombing, before the aftermath had dissipated, the Near-Orbit Magic Eye Network began to scan with all its might, with data being transmitted through the Tower Spirit.
Deep Blue then calculated and finally locked onto the undestroyed target and continued to prepare for the second round of bombing.
Of course, at this time, the Arcane Council finally reacted.
Before, they had a contemptuous attitude towards the Lion. They knew better than anyone else the level of development of the magical civilization in the Helka plane.
Even if a floating city appeared, in their eyes, it was as fragile as an ant.
But it was this contemptuous attitude that caused them to suffer great losses.
After realizing what was happening, they immediately mobilized their magic power and launched a long-range attack.
So, before the second round of missiles took off, a very destructive blue-white ultra-high-energy laser had already shot across the sky.
Everything along the way, whether it was an unlucky fighter jet, an unmanned aerial vehicle that failed to react, or a Holy Spirit Prayer who blocked the road, all exploded in the air and scattered all over the ground.
The destructive-level war magic, [Apocalypse], its power is as terrifying as ever.
However, huge magic mirrors suddenly appeared around the Lion City. They were oval in shape, with gold edges and silver stripes, shining brightly.
The laser hit the target accurately, but was bounced off the raised mirror and shot into the sky, causing chaos in the starry sky.
Faintly, the scolding voice of a certain king of the abyss could be heard.
At this time, a ball of fire fell from the sky. It looked inconspicuous, swaying and fluttering, as if it could be blown out at any time.
But wherever the flames passed, whatever they touched would be burned up with a bang.
What it burns is not matter, but elemental power, and the terrifying high temperature causes secondary burning damage.
This is a destructive-level war magic, [Xinyan]!
This ball of fire looked slow, but it was actually unstoppable. After the blue and white laser missed its target, it ignited the magic mirror and continued to move forward.
But at this moment, a strange missile took off and exploded, with sticky powder spreading outward, completely surrounding the ball of fire.
At this moment, the invincible [Fire Flame] seemed to have lost its activity, its speed became slower and slower, and its burning efficiency became lower and lower.
Until, like a candle in the wind, it goes out with a single blow!
This is a specially manufactured element annihilation missile. Its effect is relatively useless. It can create a vacuum environment where no elements exist for a short period of time.
In actual combat, it is almost useless and does not cause any damage.
But for the [Xinyan] that ignites the element and allows the power of the burning element to continue to exist, it is a professional counterpart.
A huge amount of magic energy gathered and flowed at high speed, forming a series of magic blades.
Then, with the Mysterious Hall as the core, a violent cyclone is formed, cutting everything.
However, although the storm formed by the magic blade is terrifying, it cannot reach the location of Lion City.
Therefore, under the control of the Great Archmage, the magic blade was thrown out directly, forming a violent gust of wind, sweeping across.
This is the destructive-level war magic that follows [Fire Flame], an attack mode derived from [Blade Waterfall].
The defensive force field of Lion City finally took effect.
After it stood up, it was like a curtain of water falling from the sky, with colorful light rising up and colliding with the magic blade, canceling each other out and obliterating each other.
It should be said that the attack power of [Blade Waterfall] exceeds the combined wisdom of all the magicians in Flower Territory.
It is very difficult to resist this [Water Curtain Years Barrier], but there is no shortage of strong people in Lion City.
One by one, the legendary warriors either unleashed their fighting spirit, transforming it into combat skills that could tear the sky apart, or their magic power rose, transforming into blocking magic to break up these magic blades one by one.
It’s a long story, but in reality, the great archmages acted really quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
Three destructive magic spells were thrown down in succession. Even if a true god was in front of him, he would die if he was not careful!
But Lion City managed to intercept!
This is somewhat unbelievable, and many great beings even think that there is something wrong with their eyes.
But in the final analysis, this is not because Lion City is so powerful, but the result of complete information collection and targeted preparation.
The Silvertop's several war magics had been used more than once, and Helka's side had already done research, with the Flower Ring being the most popular.
More than one targeted measure has been prepared.
At this moment, the faces of the great arcanists were quite ugly. According to their thinking, three destructive-level war magics were just relying on the strong to bully the weak and take them away in one wave.
They simply couldn't imagine the result now!
However, the only consolation is that the Lion Floating City retreated.
As if it was afraid, the huge floating city suddenly hovered, and after a few breaths, it was back to full power and retreated violently.
However, before the archmages could be happy, the second round of missile strikes had already taken off, dragging flames behind them, and began targeted bombing.
This time, the targets were all the arcane towers that supported the defensive force field. They were bombarded with saturation, multi-angle, segmented and intensive attacks to consume magic energy and try to destroy them.
It should be said that as the arcane towers were removed one by one, the fish-scale-shaped high-energy magic shield that was enough to cover the entire floating continent could no longer hold up.
However, when dispersed across every arcane tower, their defense alone is still terrifyingly strong.
Even with concentrated artillery fire, it is difficult to destroy it in one go.
But when the bombardment continues without interruption, the damage to the Arcane Tower will be greatly increased.
In particular, the earth was plowed over and over again, so much so that the foundation of the Arcane Tower was damaged.
There was no way. When the archmages first designed it, they never thought they would encounter such intensive attacks.
Finally, an arcane tower could no longer hold on, magic energy flickered, it operated poorly, and the defensive force field was completely destroyed.
Then, under the impact of the explosion, it was torn into pieces and blown into the sky.
Another raging fire burned, and the scattered white-scale grass became the best combustion aid. The high temperature distorted the air, as if it was going to swallow everything.
When the first arcane tower fell, it was like a domino effect, forming a chain reaction.
So, there was a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth...
When Lion City withdrew from the floating continent and was out of the range of most destructive war magics, the great arcanists of the Arcane Council could only devote more energy and magic power to rescue.
Rolling dark clouds gathered in the sky, so thick that they seemed to be about to crush the earth. The sunlight was blocked, and the battlefield on the ground was dim.
Thunder also spread in the dark clouds, turning into terrifying electric currents shaped like tree branches, illuminating the sky and the earth, and there was also a "crackling" sound.
Balls of lightning roll around with great adsorption effects, emitting electric sparks that can wipe out all enemies.
Destruction-level war magic, [Thunderstorm]!
It may not have the highest single-target damage, but it definitely has the widest range, the largest scene, and consumes the most energy!
Relying on the almost unreasonable shielding effect, it finally blocked the missile bombardment.
The falling missile was hit by thunder, and the shock wave caused by the secondary explosion was enough to clear away part of the dark clouds, but the next second, it closed again under the stimulation of magic power.
The great arcanists finally found an effective method of missile defense, but the Lion City's defense was even faster.
Some of the missile silos were closed one after another, but the airports around the city quickly became busy.
Under the command of the tower, one fourth-generation fighter jet after another landed on the runway.
The ground crew waved their flags and rushed into the sky amidst the howling gale.
The fourth-generation fighters were the main force, and under the leadership of a small number of fifth-generation aircraft, they formed a charge formation.
With a gorgeous acceleration, rotation, and right-angle turn, it was immersed in the pitch-black clouds despite the triple defense force field.
The thunder was still terrifying and the lightning was still roaring, but due to the high maneuverability and defensive force field of the fighter jet, it failed to cause much damage.
Some silos were not closed, and after the missiles were removed, they emitted blue-white flames.
Amidst the rising steam, golden-red mechas soared into the sky.
Only at the extreme and highest point of thrust did the thruster burst out a series of flames.
Then, they adjusted their bodies, twisted their bodies, accelerated, and with a loud bang, they went in their respective directions like falling meteorites.
It should be said that Luo Yi's plan to improve his strength with mechas was a failure!
The development and iteration of mechas also takes time. At this stage, the mechas that can enhance the combat power of Loy and the Red Dragon Virgil have not yet been born!
Even if you pile up materials and use all kinds of black technology to create a unique Holy Dragon Mecha, it will be of no use.
After bathing in the origin of the universe, completing the integration of sacred skills, and becoming kings, Loy and the red dragon Virgil have transcended the realm that mortals should have.
They are even powerful enough to rival most of the powerful gods, so ordinary amplification methods are naturally ineffective.
However, the mecha's technology was not wasted!
After evolving and iterating to the fifth generation, the defects of fighter jets have also been revealed. After all, the intention was a bit low.
Although they are comparable to natural disasters, they are not strong enough to go further and participate in battles above the legendary level.
On the contrary, the mecha, which simulates the human body, replaces it with steel bones and is controlled by a strong person, has come from behind and is quite powerful.
The Flower Territory's Royal Guards were fighting fiercely on the 138th floor of the Abyss. When they faced the lack of legendary warriors and the lesser demon lords were wreaking havoc, they used mechas to take the lead.
It can be said that they have truly raised the upper limit of mortals' combat power.
At this moment, more than 20 mechas were heading towards their respective targets with clear division of labor.
Then, as they approached at high speed, special missiles were launched into the air.
These missiles were grouped in groups of four, and their trajectories and landing points were calculated first. Although the annihilation coating on the surface that reflected light looked extremely conspicuous,
However, it showed extremely high resistance to thunder and lightning.
The crackling lightning seemed to be unable to find its target. Although it released terrifying power, it did not cause much damage.
The extremely high speed of these missiles did not give Thunderstorm a chance to continuously deal damage, and they plunged into the dark clouds.
In the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground.
The rumbling shock wave was heard, but it was due to a special design. After clearing an area, there was no explosion.
Instead, there were flashes of magical light, which connected and eventually formed huge portals.
Four long-range space gate-based tactical missiles landed on General Fake Wood's headquarters.
At the critical moment, the thought that popped into his mind was, how could such a wise and brave general like me die from an accidental injury?
But the explosion he feared did not occur. Instead, in the flash of magical light, a land combat king that he had been thinking about rushed out.
The powerful engine roared like a giant, the tracks flipped over, rolled over the ground, and rushed onto the battlefield.
Behind it, there was a second car, a third car, a fourth car...
And more heavy personnel carriers, field artillery tractors, mage regiments, transport convoys, engineering brigades, mechanical maintenance brigades, medical brigades and so on!
Right in front of Fake Wood, on the heavily armed personnel carrier, a machine gunner set up a six-barreled Gatling gun and followed the magic tank closely.
He also saw that the guardsmen wearing dark black exoskeletons were already armed to the teeth.
There were field artillery deployed around the camp. The artillerymen set up the artillery formations extremely quickly and unloaded boxes of shells.
A new command center was set up, various radio equipment was installed, and more than ten communications officers were on standby.
The most conspicuous person should be the general who is the commander of the front line. He sits there with his eyes slightly closed, as if waiting.
There were also medical tents with red crosses on them, with priests and medical officers displaying various potions and instruments.
What's even more outrageous is that Fake Wood actually saw the chefs. On the tense battlefield, they set up stoves, as if they wanted to let the soldiers have hot meals.
The commotion here eventually attracted the attention of the Arcane Council.
A powerful colonial warrior came through the air, his terrifying speed causing the air to whistle.
There is a legendary arcanist who commands thousands of unmanned fighter jets, turning them into rotating arrows and tearing through space.
Their goal was clear: to destroy this large portal.
But at this moment, four mechas fell violently from the sky.
The thrusters were fully powered, and the flames sprayed out were several meters long. The high-speed serrated sword made a buzzing sound and hit the colonial warrior.
The next second, as they crossed each other, the powerful colonial warrior had two nearly fatal injuries on his body.
The legendary arcanist was hit by artillery fire. The ten-meter-tall mecha was holding a gun barrel that was at least a hundred meters long, which looked extremely dangerous.
They were firing shotgun shells!
Countless specially made bullets rained down with terrifying kinetic energy, even forming streaks of light. After hitting the unmanned aerial vehicles, they caused continuous explosions.
The legendary arcanist had enough unmanned aerial vehicles, but a large area was still cleared out.
Defeat is only a matter of time!
The same scene appeared in more than one place. The missiles launched by Lion City built five portals.
They are not simply distributed on the periphery, but fall into the areas where missiles are bombarded with key targets after careful calculation by Deep Blue.
There are even two of them, located less than a hundred miles away from the Mystery Hall.
At this moment, the defense line carefully constructed by the Arcane Council,
The Legion of Prayers and the Church united the forces of the four empires to attack the defense line that had not been taken for a long time, but it was broken just like that.
At this moment, not to mention the soldiers on the front line, even the King of the Abyss, the Lord of Hell, and the lurking evil gods outside the plane felt blinded by the light.
It’s not that the Arcane Conference is not powerful enough, it’s just that the strength and means displayed by the Flower Leader are so strong that they are unreasonable.
Although the battle was still going on, at this moment, there were still invisible waves sweeping across the battlefield.
With the [Lion King] fully activated, Loy connected with every soldier of the Flower Territory, and his majestic voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Advance! Advance! Advance! Crush all enemies that stand in your way!"
"I, the Lion King Loyi, am with you!"
"Let's fight!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
At this moment, all the soldiers in the Flower District were fired up with fighting spirit. The crazy adrenaline made them forget their fear and life and death.
Just red eyes and roaring!
So, at this moment, the Guards advanced several times faster, and all the enemies they encountered were crushed directly like chickens and dogs.
