Chapter 83 Reconnect
It was a pitch-black object that darkened the entire night sky again. Huge steam erupted from it, bringing clouds and strong winds with it.
The propeller blades roared, and the new steam engine injected power into every inch of this steel behemoth. Two rows of bright lights that swept away the darkness fell, as if the ancient giant opened its fiery eyes, and then it began Dive.
That was a war airship. During the Glorious War, such a behemoth crossed the White Tide Strait. The altitude it was at was beyond the reach of ground artillery. Therefore, every time it appeared, it was a ruthless god of death. The enemy could only Watch it come to the sky above the territory, and then rain down the fire of divine punishment.
But this thing is still a little different. Lorenzo has never seen such a huge war airship, and there has never been such a type of war weapon among Inverg's officials.
Strong iron armor and rivets were interspersed together. There were huge sails on both sides that changed the direction. The heavy steel plates were slowly lifted up. The heavy cannons fixed on both sides fell from the slide rails and extended the muzzles.
It was the product of twisted craftsmanship, and those mechanics named it after the miraculous beast that occupied the oceans in the Gospels, the Leviathan-class war airship, the Sail Dawn.
Its appearance briefly suffocated the battlefield, but then thousands of thunders were released from the behemoth, and the artillery array opened fire at will. From the perspective of the Navigation to Dawn, all creatures on the ground were targets, and the fire that destroyed the world The rain burned the earth, and the fire burned, blocking the thousands of troops coming from the sea.
It was a scene that only appeared in myths. Red-hot bullets rained down from the sky, dyeing the gloomy clouds iron red, and then fell on the ground, creating huge craters one after another. Finally, high-temperature explosions were released in them, destroying everything. All demons within the killing range are destroyed.
This is the efficiency of the war machine. During the counterattack of the Glorious War, dozens of such war airships jumped into the territory of the Gallic Naro people. Yin Erweg's steel behemoth occupied the sky. They only Being able to watch the rain of fire bulldoze one city after another, and finally sign the surrender agreement.
First, artillery washed the ground, and the continuous bombing cleared a safe area above this chaotic war.
The air cavalry dragged the iron ropes and descended from the sky one after another as they approached the ground. They opened fire with the thermite rifles in their hands, setting off burning trails one after another as they descended. They killed all the remaining demons and skillfully established a chain. Heavy firepower nets protected the Glory.
"Looks like we're safe."
In the carriage, Shrike sat down as if relaxed, and slowly released the gun in his hand. Seeing his fully armed colleagues, he finally realized the advantage of fighting at home.
His mission is over. They successfully delayed Lancelot's arrival. No matter what enemies are ahead, the cold-blooded knight will kill them one by one, not to mention there is an unfathomable demon hunter here. .
"Those monsters haven't been killed yet."
Lorenzo's voice sounded again, and he looked up at the strange soldiers who descended from the sky. Although their appearance brought a turning point in the battle, he did not feel that it would end so easily. He strode forward, facing the burning fire. Rain and the wails of demons.
"But the Sail to Dawn has arrived. What matters is not the heavy firepower on the airship, but the owner of the airship."
Lorenzo was intrigued by Shrike's, and he didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
Shrike explained lazily.
"It means that this is his car. The war horse has already arrived. Can the knight on it be far behind?"
He had already arrived, so a sharp whistling wind came from above, as if something was landing rapidly. Lorenzo could only see a rapid shadow cutting through the night sky, and then a huge white parachute bag emerged from the shadow. He rose mid-air to slow down the rapidly falling knight, but he was obviously in a hurry. Before the figure could completely slow down, he cut off the connection with the parachute bag and accelerated downward again in the air.
Like a meteorite falling into the world, his direction is the giant coming out of the tide.
It was a behemoth formed by thousands of monsters. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a monster of this size to exist biologically. It would be burned to death by its own huge heat before it even moved, but everything related to monsters , will bring a sense of miracle, so the monster in the nightmare appears in reality.
"Lorenzo, have you ever seen such a monster?"
Among everyone here, Lorenzo should have the most experience with demons, so Shrike asked him.
"No, things like monsters were very secretive before, and there has never been such a large-scale operation, let alone such a big one."
Lorenzo ran wildly on the burning ground. To be honest, what he saw tonight had overturned many of the theorems he knew when he was in the Order. The world was changing, and more secrets were surfacing.
This is the beauty of the world. You think you really understand it, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone is ignorant and poor, trembling in the darkness.
The secret blood began to rise. In order not to be detected by the lingering church, Lorenzo's blood did not reach the critical value and was only activated at the minimum. The dark armor slowly covered him, and blazing white fireworks surged from the gaps. And out.
[The secret blood awakens by 17%, leaving the stable value range, and the silver-binding bolt begins to melt. 】

The cold and neutral voice came to his mind again. To be honest, Lorenzo really hated that weird silver bolt. It was the most sophisticated mechanical product of the church, but it seemed like a ghost living in his body. , when he broke free from the shackles, he killed himself without hesitation.
This is how Ed died. The melted holy silver completely destroyed his body and sealed the weird secret blood in the metal.
Holding the nail sword, Winchester gracefully turned a semicircle in his hand, loaded the bullet, and a blazing white dragon's breath surged out.
His eyes slightly glanced at the scarred gun body on the Winchester, and a small line of poetry remained in it, which was a memory from the time of Feilengcui.
Don't go gentle into that good night.
A huge demon appeared in his sight. It was several meters tall, with sea water flowing on top of its twisted flesh. Weird lines were spread on the bloated body, and it seemed that countless demons were crawling and clinging to it. On his body, strange eyes opened from the gaps in the flesh and blood. Not only his head, but every part of his body opened his eyes and peered into the world.
The pure flames rose, facing the demon Lorenzo and pulling the trigger again.
Wails and flames, steel and gunpowder collided with flesh and blood, broken flesh fragments flew, and slightly hot blood poured out from the thick blood vessels like heavy rain.
Lorenzo did not see the strange knight again. As he fell into the darkness, it was as if he had merged into the deep night, leaving no trace.
However, Lorenzo did not place his hopes on the knight. He could do a lot on his own. Facing the towering figure like a hill, countless pupils stared at Lorenzo. He raised his head He raised his gun and aimed at the head.
But just when Lorenzo pulled the trigger to let the pure flames burn the ferocious head, a strange voice sounded in his ears, carrying a strange hatred, familiar yet terrifying.

There was a distracting sound in his head, and Lorenzo's movements were sluggish due to the sound, but in this short period of time, the huge palm had already slapped down, with heavy wind and agitation.
The sharp rubbing sound made Lorenzo temporarily deaf. There was a high-frequency buzzing in his ears. The sharp stinging made him unable to hear the neutral narrative in his mind. It was a whimpering low sound that was difficult to distinguish.
Then the sharp hook lock was nailed hard on the slapped palm, and the knight named Lancelot came out from the other side of the darkness. The winch rotated rapidly, retracting the cable while keeping him and the demon in constant contact. He drew closer and then slashed with the sword.
Blood and broken bones were shattered in front of his eyes. The armored knight held the heavy sword and looked back at Lorenzo in mid-air. His eyes seemed to ask him why he was in a daze.
But at this moment, Lorenzo's heart had already stirred up a storm. After six years, his Silver Bolt was reconnected to the Temple of Stasis.
