Alien Paradise.

Chapter 430 A sudden turn of events
Four hours later, Chaoyang, Kokomochi, and Elodie appeared south of the mountains. The winding ridgeline was like a white wall, dividing the continent into two and isolating the north-south traffic lines. But for the three people flying in the air, this barrier was just a pleasing scenery.

Chaoyang's decision to come to the mountains in person was not a whim. Since the angel could take him a thousand miles a day, the surrounding areas of Qianlin Castle could basically be reached within half a day. Close reconnaissance was a very convenient option.

Secondly, if the great changes that happened to Mekfa and the others were really related to the evil god or the new god, he could also use his telepathic vision to lock the source, which was an effect that was difficult to achieve with a reconnaissance aircraft. In addition to the inexplicable death of Kokomochi's chief believer, bringing the goddess of magic with him would give him another flying helper.

"Hah, hush!" Elodie couldn't help sneezing in the howling cold wind.

Although the three of them were wearing relatively thick clothes, they still couldn't completely isolate themselves from the high altitude cold. Even at an altitude of 4,000 meters where no one was, she still carefully folded the tissue after wiping her nose and put it in her pocket. This "unhygienic" action made the magic goddess next to her look very strange.

Chaoyang's heart suddenly moved.

He muttered to himself for a moment, then snapped his fingers, "Wind."

In an instant, the flying hair of Elodie and Kokomochi fell down - the wind was still blowing hard around them, but the sharpness and coldness were gone, as if the wind was just a gentle illusion.

"This works?" The two were surprised. "How did you do it?"

"I tried to change the properties of the wind... but I didn't expect it to be so useful." Chaoyang replied. In a sense, the wind within a one-meter radius around him was already something else, just like the fire he summoned under the beach ruins. This special wind squeezed out all the cold wind from the outside, so that only the characteristics of the divine realm were present.

"Is it a good word to describe the authority of the Aldmer God? If Wei Mi could understand you, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood." Shi Yin rolled his eyes and said, "But don't use it as a convenient ability to be lazy. This kind of power will attract the attention of other Aldmer Gods. If you imagine the gap between the worlds as a barrier, it is the seed that weakens the barrier."

Even if I want to use it on a large scale, I can't.

He estimated that this ability consumed willpower several times faster than other abilities. If he wanted to create a Ningfeng District that could match the Qianlinbao Divine Kingdom area, it would probably take only half a month to burn up all the willpower.

"It's just like magic," Kokomochi said with some envy.

"If there is such magic, it must be called maze magic."

At least in this maze, everything can be defined by God.

After flying over the snow-capped mountain peaks, the scenery behind the mountains gradually appeared in front of the three people. It is said that this mountainous area has a total of 20 to 30 towns of various sizes, a sheltered valley suitable for farming, and a cliff city rich in mineral veins. Even if it is disconnected from the outside world, it can still be self-sufficient. For many years, this place has maintained a high degree of independence, and the name "Winter Kingdom" came from this.

But they saw a lot of smoke.

That’s right… that was the beacon smoke warning of the coming war. There was smoke on the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. The thin black smoke columns were particularly conspicuous in the sky.

Even in the direction of Zhaixing City, which is close to the highest point of the mountain, the same beacon smoke was rising.

The angel was surprised and asked, "Is this... the mountains being invaded?"

Judging from the situation, it seems so, but the problem is that there are only two or three roads leading into the mountains, and all of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is almost impossible to spread the flames of war all over the north at once! Judging from the time, the alliance army only appeared near the royal city three days ago. Even if the Longjiu family immediately organized a counterattack, it would take more than three days to drag a large group of people and logistical supplies to the foot of the mountains!
"Let's take a closer look." Chaoyang said. The three flew towards Zhaixing City. When they were four or five kilometers away, a strange bird rushed towards them. Because the bird's route was too strange and there was no shelter in the air, Chaoyang noticed the bird from two kilometers away.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he found that it was actually a bird-like mechanical creature.

"Oopthopter?"

Elodie also noticed something strange.

Although it flapped its wings, it had no bird-like beauty, no head or tail, and three pairs of arthropods under its square body, making it look like a large insect. The legs were bent inwards, tightly holding a "package".

Although Chaoyang wanted to catch it and see what the internal structure of this classic flapping-wing aircraft was, the thick smoke rising from the Star-Picking City made him decide to act cautiously. "Don't let it get close."

"Leave it to me." The angel hugged Chaoyang with one hand and summoned the Wind-Cutting Sword with the other hand. The strong wind condensed by the power of will seemed unaffected by the "maze setting" and chopped towards the mechanical bird smoothly!
The latter seemed to sense a threat and changed direction quickly, as if trying to avoid the attack. But Zhan Feng was faster and swept across its back in the blink of an eye, cutting its two wings into pieces.

Just as the mechanical bird was about to fall, it suddenly turned into a fireball, and the explosion wave mixed with a large amount of debris spread out in all directions. Although the three were startled, Elodie still summoned a wind wall in time to block herself from being injured by the fragments.

A machine... that can fly... and explode. No matter how you look at it, this thing can be considered a weapon.

And it looks a lot like a modern drone, even stealthier than a traditional quadcopter.

The question is where is the remote controller?
The invention of a remote-controlled drone that can be used in actual combat in a world without electricity is shocking enough in itself.

Kokomochi didn't think about it that deeply. She was just surprised that even the sky was no longer safe.

After the three of them looked at each other, Chaoyang was the first to react.

"Let's find a place to land first, so as not to be targeted by this bomb bird again."

Elodie led the two to lower the altitude, flew along the mountain ridge towards the Star Picking City, and finally landed on a watchtower on the edge of the city. Chaoyang saw many mechanical birds of the previous style in the sky, they circled around irregularly, and occasionally one or two would rush down and create a violent explosion on the streets or houses.

Star City was not being attacked unilaterally. Sand forts and soldiers firing back could be seen on several nearby streets. The ones engaging in fierce shooting were the legendary High Peak Industrial Heavy Armored Knights. Although Chaoyang had heard about the battle to defend the Royal City a long time ago, it was the first time he had seen these fully armored soldiers that were comparable to robots. And judging from the remains scattered on the ground, this unit had also suffered considerable losses.

"It's actually Long Jiu's army... How could this be? How did they break through the natural barrier?" Kokomochi's face was quite solemn. Even if she disliked the Alliance Army, she didn't want to see Zhaixing City fall. Moreover, after the enemy occupied the mountains, they could threaten Qianlin Fort from two directions at the same time. Qianlin Fort was located in a plain forest area with no strategic risks, which would greatly increase the strategic risk.

Three days... In just three days, Long Jiu's army was able to attack the heartland of the Kingdom of Winter, which was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. And Duke Luo Xia's plan to use the mountains as a barrier and defeat the Long Jiu family in a tight defense now seemed like a joke!
But Chaoyang no longer had time to think about this problem.

His attention was completely drawn to the hall at the highest point of the city. In his spiritual vision, he saw countless black threads merging towards the sky, and finally gathered into a thick beam of wish light above the hall. It was completely black, forming a sharp contrast with all the wish colors he had seen in the past, like an ominous pillar supporting the sky.
