Old days in the box

Chapter 313 There is a dragon, and it’s white!

Angry fire shot through the clouds over Vital City, as if a giant dragon was roaring in the clouds!

Countless falling fire meteors traveled thousands of miles, carrying the majesty of the Jade Realm and flying all the way from the Falling Fire Pass to this place, vowing to burn out all the villains who dared to cross the Jade Realm, no matter how far away they were!

Thousands of burning meteor fires instantly rained down on the area where Yuan Wuyou was, smashing the artillery carriage that had just been clamoring to fire on her on the spot, igniting the gunpowder on the carriage and causing a secondary deflagration.

The city was also ignited, and the meteors that filled the sky fell on Vital City without any mercy, regardless of friend or foe, especially concentrated near the city gate where the slum rebels had entered.

Except for Yuan Wuyou and Vidal, who were protected by the light barrier, almost no one near the square could survive such a powerful fire. The two of them lay on the safe inner wall of the barrier, watching the city collapse in the sky. Alarmed in the light of the fire.

"What's going on? What kind of back-up insurance do you have?" Vidal asked with a solemn expression.

"It's an attack from our Steel Fire Department... Maybe the Jade Realm is tracking me far beyond my imagination." Yuan Wuyou looked at the golden light barrier extending from the Chihuali, and immediately thought of her person who was there. A close friend who works in the Steel and Fire Department.

Could it be that the jade beacon on Chihua was left by Xian Ning secretly?

"So you never came to Byzantium alone. How long will this attack continue?" Vidal asked.

"This is the Dragon Cry system deployed at Yuhuo Pass. It has a range of up to eight thousand miles. It was originally designed to replace the mechanical fortress that manpower sieges. As long as your people evacuate from the city as soon as possible, there will be no danger. .”

As the meteor fire fell all over the sky, the machine birds lurking near Vital City all flapped their wings and flew high, as if a flock of alarmed crows surrounded the city, chasing outside the city in an orderly manner.

They are calibrating the attack target of the Dragon Cry system to ensure that they can hit the slum rebels who are raiding to the maximum extent. This is also the few goodwill they have left to the city.

"They have begun to retreat, but this city may not be able to hold on..." Vidal turned his face to the firelight, looking at this spectacular scene like a natural disaster burning the city.

During the march, he had already made an agreement with all the troops. In the event of any emergency, his first priority would be to preserve his own strength without the need for protection.

By this time, his large forces should have withdrawn along the back of the city, moving a large number of people and materials out of the city.

Round after round of bolides continued to arrive from the east, chasing and bombarding the slum rebels outside the city gate, with no intention of stopping.

The sound of these meteors falling was loud, as if some giant beast was roaring in the night sky, and the light of fire reaching into the sky could even be seen from several nearby towns.

The same battle situation was also fed back to the main control room of the Steel and Fire Department at the same time. On the virtual map made up of countless jade screens, the real-time bombing situation of Vital City was being continuously drawn.

"Lord General, the rebel army that launched the attack has all been repelled. The other rebel army was so frightened that it turned back midway. Do we need to continue the pursuit?"

In the unprecedentedly busy Steel Fire Control Room, bachelors were shuttled back and forth with various launch orders. One of them asked Li Xianning loudly.

"Since the dragon roars, is there any reason not to pursue it? What's the situation with Chihua's barrier?" Li Xianning watched the real-time changes in the virtual map attentively and replied softly.

"The barrier is in good condition, and the integrity is still above 80%. As long as she is not hit continuously by bolide meteors, Princess Wuyou will be safe and sound." Another bachelor responsible for remotely activating Chi Hua replied.

"Order the main force of the Organ Bird to track the movements of the two rebel armies and speed up the report."

"As ordered!"

As early as half an hour ago, Li Xianning had noticed the abnormal movements of the other two rebel armies through the machine bird, and dispatched the palace's forbidden troops to garrison the Falling Fire Pass, ready to be activated at any time.

The moment she confirmed that she had observed one of the rebels attacking Vital City, she gave the order to open fire without hesitation, allowing the Dragon Cry system, which had been deployed for a long time but had never had a chance to be put into actual combat, to shine. , roaring towards the sky and attacking.

This kind of attack order for external fire should not have been decided in a hurry by her alone, but now because of the emperor's absence, in this short gap, she became the most powerful person in the entire Steel Fire Department.

Following the order of the Chief of Steel and Fire, hundreds of gold steel cannons cast into the shape of dragons were arranged neatly in the Meteor Fire Pass, all of which spewed out streams of smoke and flames, sending meteors that could fly thousands of miles towards the west. Launched with a bang.

The power of these giant cannons was so astonishing that even the barrels burned red under continuous firing, and cold water had to be repeatedly poured into them to cool them down, making a terrifying sizzling sound.

This is the first time since the Jade World was closed to the country thousands of years ago that they have once again pointed their focus at the world outside the customs.

This semi-experimental attack made them realize a fact.

Today's Byzantine Empire is no longer a match for the jade world.

Thousands of years ago, these two equally huge empires were once evenly matched and competing against each other, but that was because they each had the blessing of powerful gods at that time. But now, when the blessing of the gods faded, the gap between the two sides on the mortal level suddenly became apparent.

There were no visible opponents, no cover to hide in.

The meteors all over the sky continued to bombard somewhere in the Byzantine Empire thousands of miles away, leaving an endless streak of burning clouds in the sky along the way.

The fire continued from late at night until dawn. It was not until it chased a distance of three hundred miles outside Vital City and completely destroyed the inferior rebel army that came out of the slums that the fire finally stopped falling.

In the main control room of the Steel and Fire Department, hundreds of jade screens, continuously powered by Qianji Oven, finally came to a stop, marking the end of this fire bombing that lasted thousands of miles.

The slum rebel group that attacked Vital City had been completely wiped out, while the other group escaped hundreds of miles away overnight.

The area surrounded by Yuan Wuyou can be said to be completely safe.

The Longming system, which had been firing continuously all night, withstood this test, proving that Jade World's large weapons were fully capable of being put into actual combat.

As the jade screen stopped, the assembled virtual map naturally disintegrated.

After a night of busy work, all the bachelors in the main control room of the Ministry of Steel and Fire were so tired that they were sweating profusely, and Li Xianning, who was in charge of the general commander, also looked tired.

"Thank you for your hard work. This fire deployment is very successful thanks to your efforts. The firing data of the Longming system will be automatically recorded later. You don't need to wait. You can leave and rest first."

Li Xianning said to them that these colleagues and subordinates had worked all night under her orders, and this was the rest they deserved.

A group of bachelors from the Ministry of Steel and Fire also stood up, bowed to Li Xianning and exited the main control room workshop in an orderly manner.

They are just people who follow orders in the Steel Fire Department. For them, last night's operation was just a field experiment. They only need to complete the task carefully and ensure that the process does not go wrong. Other things are not within the scope of their consideration. .

But not for Li Xianning.

She was the one who gave the orders last night. It can be said that the responsibility for opening fire on the places outside the customs this time rests solely with her.

Last night, the Longming system was bombarded continuously all night long. Even the most uninformed people should have been awakened by the shocking movement, not to mention the generals and soldiers stationed at various levels.

Maybe at this moment, officials from the imperial court were on their way to summon her into the palace to explain in detail what happened last night.

However, since Li Xianning dared to order the firing, she was naturally prepared to face this kind of thing.

Now that the Byzantine Empire has fallen into the flames of rebellion, Jade World's Dragon Cry system has proven its reliability in actual combat.

It seems that there is no need to continue to conceal the matter of Jade World's release from seclusion.

With the amazing actual results last night, Li Xianning was very confident that he could convince the court officials to agree to the current emperor's last ambitious feat, which was to lead the Jade Realm out of the border to attack the Byzantine Empire.

She lifted up her skirt and walked down from the main console, walked through the dark corridor and walked out of the headquarters courtyard again, intending to breathe in the morning air outside.

Although the Steel and Fire Department is in charge of casting and technology, outside its courtyard is the scenery of a quiet ancient courtyard. Taking advantage of the good weather early in the morning, she might be able to enjoy this before the people from the court arrived. A moment of peace.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the headquarters courtyard, a huge shadow had already covered the sky, completely blocking the morning sunlight.

A strange breeze blew through the courtyard, "ordering" all the rootless palace lanterns to extinguish and stop automatically. All the manufactured objects that were still being tested in the courtyard froze and were unable to move.

Li Xianning's heart skipped a beat and she looked up along the direction of the breeze.

A huge white dragon suddenly occupied the entire sky, stretching out its proud head from the clouds, staring at her in the courtyard, who was as small as a grain of rice.

The god who has protected the jade world for five thousand years and the only envoy who holds the authority of steel - the white-scaled jade dragon, unexpectedly appeared in front of her.

"Li Shi Xian Ning, the situation is urgent, I want to summon you." It opened its dragon jaws and spoke human words, and an ethereal girl's voice came from the sky.
