Not a Witch

After a few seconds, the fire gradually extinguished and the smoke filled the air.Just when some mages were rejoicing, trembling purple-red electric sparks lit up all over the airship, and then exploded.

Accompanied by billowing black smoke, these airships fell into the sea, and the mages in them flew out of them like ants, and fled in all directions.

The thunder light in the sky galloped again, carrying the natural power of heaven and earth to break through all obstacles.

And the silver roulette also rotated again, and the secret techniques passed down from the ancient witches were performed one by one, using the human body to capture the mighty thunder that wandered between the heaven and the earth.

The electric fire overflowed, the thunder tore through layers of space, the hour hand rotated, and the pointer on the silver wheel rotated backwards.

——And now, Lei Ting and Yin Lun are in a stalemate.

Chapter 160 Six Intertwined Cold Stars

New Verga Union, Hoplander.

Under the sunny sky, soldiers wearing dark blue burqas and scale armor entered this dilapidated city under the cover of tall golems.

There are still many scorched black marks on the walls, and many places have already collapsed, scattered stones and debris rolled all over the ground, and a few green grass blades protruded from the gaps.

The streets in the city are very quiet, there are no defenders, no traps, and no pedestrians in sight.

The Frost United soldiers entering the city still carefully held their shields and spears, and marched closely to their destination. They blocked several important buildings and areas in the city, and the Golem Legion also arrived at the seaside port.

"Lord Jenkins." In the big camp outside the city, several messengers galloped out of the city and went straight to the main account to report.

"Our soldiers have taken control of Hopeland, but there are no Crancia defenders among them, and even the personnel of several major chambers of commerce have also evacuated."

"Where's the port?" Jenkins asked, sitting at the head.

"There are only a few ships left in the port."

After listening, Jenkins was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand. "Understood, let's arrange follow-up troops to enter the city."

"Yes, my lord."

After all the officers left the big tent, only Jenkins and his daughter, who is now the 'hero' knight Ada of Frost United, remained in the tent.

"Did Clancia give up Hoplander?" The dark red-haired female knight knelt aside, holding a long silver sword on her knee.

"It seems so." Jenkins slowly stroked the names of cities and places on the map.

"The city wall is broken, but we are far superior in terms of personnel, combat power, firepower, etc. If we continue to defend, we will only be wiped out by us. I guess the commander over there has figured it out."

"Perhaps it's a miracle that they can persist for so long, and I can't do it if I take command." Jenkins analyzed slowly.

Ada closed her eyes, recalling the fierce battles during this period, and she was deeply impressed by the fearless spirit and terrifying discipline of the enemy army.

"The other party is a very tenacious opponent." She sighed softly, and then became sad again, because they had different positions and had to aim to kill each other.

"Yes, but it's also impossible." Jenkins knew what his daughter was thinking.

"The Seven Xuehua Kingdoms are too scattered, and they are suspicious and dragged down by each other. Only when they are united can they become truly strong and become a powerful whole that can fight against Cang Cui."

"I am almost certain that most of our soldiers will die in the war. Even if we survive in the end, the ending may not be very good. It is estimated that in order to appease the people who will be unified in the future, the upper echelons will take us out."

Jenkins stood up and looked at the rose totem hanging in the tent.

"Then why does father still hold this position?" Ada looked at the gray-haired old man.

"Why, probably so that the grandson's grandchildren can live in a powerful country."

"I suffered a lot when I was young and was bullied, but I don't hate those people, because being weak is the original sin."

"It doesn't mean that because you are weak, it makes sense, and others have to give in to you. Even if there is, it is the benevolence of the winner."

"So, even if our generation will be reviled by the world, as long as the Seven Snow Kingdoms are finally unified and become stronger, then our sacrifice will be worth it."

Ada slowly stroked the long sword on her knee, and looked at the neat grooves and a few sawtooths on it against the sparse light.

"But people don't understand, and don't appreciate this kind of imposed happiness." Ada said so.

"Yes, but what's the matter, at least I don't regret it myself." Jenkins said so with his back to his daughter.

"We start wars, we cause massacres, we eliminate dissidents, and we do all kinds of bad things." His voice was low and quiet.

"But we will also build a new, integrated nation on this devastated land."

"In the darkness before dawn, there are always people to do something."

"Everyone always talks differently, each has his own ideas, and the language is weak and powerless. If such a violent method is not used, how can this loose sand be combined."

He turned around slowly, looked at his daughter beside him, and said softly in his eyes.

"We can never satisfy everyone's ideas, and the last thing we can do is what we think is right."

------

The third era, 1866, the year of intertwined cold stars.

A rare war broke out on the continent of Ivalxi in the past century.The Starlight Alliance and the Frost Alliance launched a full-scale war. The two sides fought in the desert, in the mountains, in the wilderness, in the sea and in the sky. The total number of troops mobilized by both sides exceeded 300 million. '.

At the beginning of the year, the six golem legions of the Frost United went up along the Heisong River and stormed the fortress under the artillery fire of Jiansong City.In the pursuit after capturing the fortress, they were ambushed by the Starlight Alliance. The mage "Iris Book" Tuge from the Southern Islands used the power of goblins to perform secret techniques, sinking a large number of golems into the ground, burying them and crushing them to pieces.

However, Hedley, the 'Poisonous Lady' of the Frost Alliance, broke free from the shackles by relying on the 'Frost Carved' golem she was driving, and severely injured Tu Ge who was struggling, and then continued to lead the army northward.

On the other side, the Black Rock Principality sent troops to invade the border of Crancia. During the siege of Iron Felt City, its elite troops were defeated by the Gufia orc reinforcements going south. After that, a large number of temporary conscripts broke up, fled, and surrendered.Then Gufia's warriors and Crancia's army counterattacked Heiyan and fought all the way to Fengyan City, the capital of Heiyan.

During the siege battle, the patriarch of the Tiger Clan, War Sequence 8o Heroic Claw, with sharp teeth turned into a giant body, took the lead, smashed through the city gate, and broke into the fortress, but was blocked by the giant airship Blood Whale that rushed to help later.

During the battle, Sharp Tooth took advantage of the terrain to shoot down the airship, surrounded and attacked the reinforcements behind, and slaughtered the high-level mages on the airship. After the battle, he himself broke out due to suppressed injuries and died that night.

On the southwest border, the army of Crancia and the army of the Falcon Kingdom encountered each other. The two sides fought in the desert, with knives and spears intertwined. When the two sides were fighting, the reinforcements of the Wing Clan appeared from the sky, and the Starlight Alliance also rose. Nearly a hundred high-level angel sequences.

The two sides strangled each other in the sky, and when the white feather fell to the downwind, a special "angel" rose from the earth, and with the appearance of this girl with silver hair and blue eyes, the air flow in the sky stagnated, followed by countless The fighters of the Wing tribe can no longer fly in the air with the help of power, they have been deprived of the ability to fly, and tens of thousands of fighters fell from the sky like black hailstones.

In the end, the girl who felt pity raised a soft airflow over the earth, saving those falling enemies from death.

After this battle, the Wing Clan lost all fighting spirit. As a Wing Clan, they all surrendered under the wings of the Angel of the Sky, expressing that they would not be enemies with it, and the Falcon Kingdom stopped its offensive and started to fight against it. Mediated internal issues, and finally sent a letter to both parties a few months later, expressing that they would no longer participate in the war between the two parties and were willing to surrender to the final victor of the war.

While the battle was fierce on the mainland, the battle at sea was also fierce.

Relying on the advantages of armaments and weapons, the ironclad warships of the Frost Alliance defeated a large number of sailing warships from the Chuberry Kingdom, and then in an ambush, defeated the Divine Wing Bird troops of the Chuberry Kingdom with special means, and finally sent a letter to force peace Southern Islands.

Under the insistence of Uleves, one of the three giants behind the scenes of the Chuyue Council, the Chuberry Kingdom refused to negotiate peace and continued to mobilize domestic combat power.

Not long after, the three new warships of Carites encountered the Iron Armored Fleet of the Frost Union on the way to meet in the south.After that, nearly 200 'Grey Harrier' airships passed through the clouds and surrounded the three new warships.

But when the Frost Alliance was about to succeed, the Magic Sequence 9 Ulevis of the Young Moon Council arrived, and the Magic Sequence 9 Clark of the Frost Alliance fought in the sky.

This is also the fierce battle of the Transcendent Sequence 9 in the eyes of the world since the 'Battle of the Broken Bow'.The aftermath of the battle directly shattered the airship in the sky, and the warships of the two parties at sea were also damaged. Only two of the three new warships reached their previous destinations.

And as the battle between the two sides gradually escalated, the Sage Council in the central part of the mainland finally intervened and stopped the two fighting Sequence 9s.In the end, the two sides made an agreement again that Transcendent Sequence Nine would not be allowed to participate in the battle between the two parties.

Every Sequence Nine is a precious power, and now the chaos seals around the world are not stable, in order to prevent a possible crisis, so this kind of mutual killing and internal friction is unbearable for the entire intelligent race.

Even though both sides were dissatisfied, the two Sequence Nines stopped fighting due to the will of many Sequence Nines in the Sages' Guild.

In New Verga, after reinforcements from Clancia, about 60 Starlight Alliance troops gathered around Hoplander, while in the wilderness, the Frost Alliance's main force of nearly 80 was on the opposite side.

The black clouds were pressing down on the formation, and the artillery fire continued. During the initial industrialization process of Crancia, war-related heavy industry was the first development project, and Hoplander also gathered a large number of artillery.

Although these rudimentary artillery are still far from the level of World War II in Lorraine Hill's memory, they can still pose a threat to some golems under the cover of firepower.

The two sides first engaged in circles and field battles in the wilderness, and then followed the Starlight Alliance's retreat into the city, and began the battle of defending the city, launching several rounds of tug-of-war around the city wall.

When attacking the city, the Frost Alliance, which has the cover of golems and high-intensity firepower, has the upper hand, and after entering the city, the Starlight Alliance has the upper hand. The entire city was burned down by artillery fire. In the end, the Starlight Alliance launched several feint attacks out of the city. When the enemy was delayed, the main force gradually withdrew from Hoplander.

Part of it goes north by land, and part of it leaves west along the coastline by boat.And after they left, the Frost Union also peacefully took over this dilapidated seaside city.

So far, the battle between the two sides has gradually entered the next stage.

Chapter 160: The Infinite Distance

Crancia, Brown Flute County.

At this moment, Lorraine Hill was riding a tall black horse, advancing with the army.

Under the sunny sky, there is a yellow-green wilderness. Sparse green grass grows on the dry ground. The roots of these plants grow almost close to the ground, and the leaves are also very narrow. It seems that they are specially adapted to the local dry and hot environment. to make.

As the army marched southward, it began to recover the land that had fallen before, and the Falcon troops that originally attacked also retreated early.It was already the end of April, and the weather was gradually warming up, even a little hot.

There is a smell of dry grass seeds in the air, which makes the nose slightly itchy when mixed with the southerly wind.

Lorraine Hill was wearing a black robe, with only a little silver hair on his chest, fluttering slightly in the wind.She raised her white palm and put it on her forehead, looking at the group of winged people standing by the road in the distance.

These people were male and female, looking at the walking team against the scorching sun, as if they were looking for a certain figure.And when Lorraine Hill looked at them, one of the girls pointed her finger over.

"That big sister~" Her voice was immature and full of joy, it was hard to imagine why such a young child would appear here.

After hearing this shout, the group of Winged Tribes turned their eyes around. When they saw the silver hair exposed from the hood, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes, and then they stepped forward and knelt down on one knee down.

A knight in heavy porcelain white armor approached on horseback. He was a member of the Knights of the Iron Sun.

"His Royal Highness Lorraine Hill, they want to see you." Although there has been no communication for thousands of years, the Rabbit Ear Clan and the Wing Clan are both branches of the Beast Clan, and they basically speak the same language, so they can understand what these people say.It's nothing more than worship, supplication, surrender, and the like.

This kind of scene has been encountered many times during their march, and the knights around the silver-haired girl are not surprised.

"Let's find a quiet and open place. It seems that they have come from a far away hometown. I also have some questions to ask them." Lorraine Hill nodded. Compared with the past, the military life during this period is quite It made her shy personality improve a lot.

More than ten minutes later, at the foot of a hillside not far from the marching road.

Under a big tree with luxuriant foliage, Lorraine Hill took off the hood on his head and stood there, while in front were about 30 Winged Clansmen.

"Are you here to look for me?" There was curiosity in the light blue transparent pupils.

"Yes, the supreme Archangel of the Wind, the Great Lord of the Sky." A group of Winged Clan knelt down on their knees, chanting prayers in their mouths.

Lorraine Hill tilted his head slightly in confusion. The title really got longer and longer, and it became more and more outrageous.

"You don't need to do this, you stand up first." She said so, her voice soft and pleasant.

"His Royal Highness Xie Luolan Hill." Only then did everyone get up slowly.

"Why did you come all the way from your hometown just to see me?" Lorraine Hill didn't think he had such a great charm.

"Because I heard the call from the wind." A girl with eyes full of admiration said so.

"Because I witnessed the miracle that descended on the sky." This is a soldier who has experienced that battle.

"Because I want to see the existence of such a legend."

Everyone chattered about their own thoughts, and finally an old man with a white beard walked out slowly, and the crowd gradually stopped, which showed that the old man's status in the crowd was not low.

"Let me tell the story, Your Highness Lorraine Hill." The old man stood up straight with a cane.
