Ember Dragon

Chapter 793 Players and Cultists
Adrian saw this and followed the situation. He raised his sword high and shouted, "Everyone - did you see it? This is the punishment of the sun god on these evil dragons!"

The morale of the human army's soldiers was immediately boosted, and they rushed forward bravely to fight with the remaining wyverns on the battlefield.

The dragon beasts in the distance were blocked by fierce artillery fire. Corpses piled up into mountains, charred debris and broken shrapnel were everywhere, and pits of all sizes were scattered all around. Even the ground was flattened by three feet.

At this moment, a wall made of fire and corpses seemed to appear on the ground, separating the dragon beasts from the human army.

"Damn Imperials!" Ulrichia looked at the air fleet in the distance with a ferocious expression, and hatred and anger flashed in her narrow vertical pupils.

If they allow this group of outsiders from the north to continue, their dragon beast troops will be exhausted and Linying City will be in danger.

The Dragon Worship Church did not repair the city walls here. For these guys who believed in dragons - or more accurately, evil dragons - attack was the best defense, and burning, killing and looting were far better than defending the city.

Thinking of this, she called over a dozen evil dragon priests, raised the dragon head scepter at the same time, pointed it at a huge aerospace ship in the distant sky, and chanted an impassioned prayer.

"Red flames burn away cowardice; blue lightning tears apart the sky; green poison corrupts hope; black acid corrodes through iron walls; white frost freezes life!"

"Great! The Supreme Mother of Five Heads, the Lord of Scales and Claws!"

In an instant, a faint light flickered in the eyes made of gems on the dragon head scepter, and black beams of light shot up into the sky from the altar, attracting the shadows of five giant dragons in the sky.

Red, blue, green, black, white.

At this moment, five pairs of narrow pupils were lit up one by one, revealing a terrifying and shuddering light.

The five hideous and terrifying heads of different colors all raised up at the same time and let out an earth-shaking roar. Various colored balls of light accumulated in their throats, and an extremely violent storm was set off in the sky, causing even the space to shake.

"Danger! Warning!"

"An abnormal increase in energy fluctuations has been detected! Exceeding the upper limit!"

"We have discovered an ultra-long-range attack targeting us. The enemy's energy is divine power!"

"Start the space jump!" someone ordered in a deep voice.

"No, our warships are bound by an unknown force and locked in space. It's difficult to move! It's like a lamb being targeted by a natural enemy."

Inside the cockpit of the aerospace giant, the normally calm captain suddenly changed his expression and looked nervous: "Quick, activate the highest authority protection system!"

"Level 1 protective force field activated!"

On the surface of the steel shell, complex runes lit up, and a translucent energy film gradually condensed and appeared on the surface of the giant ship.

It is difficult to cause damage to it with simple physical attacks, and once you get close, you will be repelled by the membrane.

"Second level protective force field activated!"

From the launch device on top of the giant ship, surging balls of light shot out and suddenly expanded in mid-air, forming a series of brilliant walls of light that could block all kinds of energy impacts.

"Level 3 protective force field activated!"

The force field generator at the bottom of the giant ship quickly extended out, and its top released a dazzling white light.

With a slight "swish" sound, the surrounding space instantly twisted, and countless hexagonal force field shields appeared outside the giant ship, tightly fitting together to form a spherical force field wall, wrapping up the entire aerospace giant ship.

This is the product of the Mechanicus' fusion of technology and magic. Even spells above the eighth ring will find it difficult to break through these three layers of defense and damage the body of the aerospace giant.

However, this is not over yet. A cold mechanical voice came from the speaker: "Long-range attack interception system activated!"

"Om-"

In an instant, twelve gun barrels extended from the side of the giant ship, quickly turned, and aimed at the phantom of the five-headed dragon in the distance, ready to intercept the opponent's ultra-long-range attack.

"These primitive beasts can't hurt us. Their use of strength is too crude." In the cockpit, the captain stared at the phantom of the five-headed dragon far away in the sky with an extremely firm look in his eyes.

In order to build these giant aerospace ships, the Mechanicus spent millions of gold coins, and the cost of preliminary research was astronomical.

In any case, there was no reason for them to be defeated by this group of "primitives".

"Praise the Lord of Ten Thousand Scales! Mother of Evil Dragons! Queen of Immortality!"

"Five heads become one, and all worlds prostrate themselves!"

Along with the cultists' fanatical cheers, the terrifying monster that blocked out the sky stretched out its thorny neck, poked out different heads, and opened its bloody mouth.

"boom--"

Accompanied by shrill screams and wild roars, light beams of five colors - red, blue, green, black and white - gushed out from the dragon's mouth like a surging torrent.

Each beam of light symbolizes the breath of a five-colored dragon, carrying the elemental essence of dragons as magical creatures.

Fire, Thunder, Poison, Acid, Frost.
These five torrents converged together to form brilliant five-colored light columns, dividing the sky and triggering an extremely terrifying elemental storm.

The five-colored beam of light cut through the sky, carrying a terrifying momentum, and bombarded the giant aerospace ship thousands of meters away.

"Activate the interception system!!"

In an instant, twelve beams of light shot out from the giant aerospace ship, directly hitting the five-colored light column, and hundreds of magic-annihilating missiles rushed into the sky, dragging thick smoke.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Magnificent explosions broke out in the sky. Multiple forces converged and collided with each other. For a moment, shrapnel flew everywhere, flames spread everywhere, and huge clouds of thick smoke appeared in the sky, rolling and surging like a raging ocean.

But the next moment, the five-colored light beams mercilessly annihilated all the light beams and missiles launched by the giant aerospace ship, swallowed them up, and transformed them into its own power.

This five-colored beam of light was like a greedy dragon, devouring everything that stood in its way - whether it was matter or energy.

This is divine power.

Compared to the magic of mortal spellcasters, divine power can utilize and even control the laws of the world, releasing a force that is extremely powerful and beyond the imagination of mortals.

"This power."

"It's too terrifying. It has exceeded the limits of our observation instruments, just like the breath of the Burning Cinder Emperor!"

The captains and researchers on the aerospace giant ship all looked up at the sky, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. At this moment, they had already exhausted all their means and could only watch the five-colored beam of light grow larger and larger in their eyes, approaching rapidly, and praying that their triple protection system would work.

The moment the five-colored light column touched the force field shield, the seemingly indestructible hemispherical shield directly cracked and collapsed, dense cracks appeared on it, and finally it completely disintegrated.

The surrounding space was distorted under the bombardment of this force.

The first and second level defenses were instantly broken and could not produce even the slightest effect.

"No, it's impossible!" The captain stood in place, his legs trembling, and he exclaimed, his eyes also reflecting the five-colored light.

"boom--"

Thunder, fire, and ice danced wildly in the sky, creating an unparalleled elemental frenzy and forming an exceptionally spectacular vortex.

The torrent of divine power completely engulfed the hundred-meter-long battleship. All the matter within it was ruthlessly annihilated, and the hundreds of Mechanicus players on board were disintegrated into the most basic particles, without even the slightest chance of resistance.

After hitting the target, the five-colored light beams scattered in the air, turning into countless gorgeous and complex elemental torrents, shooting towards the land behind the human position - where the player army was located.

Dazzling thunder struck from the sky, meteors dragging flames fell from the sky, an extremely cold ice storm swept across the earth, and highly corrosive acid turned into dense raindrops and fell, corroding dense pits on the ground.

"What the hell?"

"What the hell is this? A full-screen attack?"

"I just started the mission and haven't seen the enemy yet. How come something like this happened? I don't want to die—"

"Why is the opposing boss using his ultimate skill right now? Damn, I'm losing health non-stop in this acid rain!"

"No!"

The players' wails and screams were endless, echoing in the rear positions.

These poor players were either turned into charcoal by lightning, or crushed to death by flaming meteors, or frozen into ice by extreme cold storms, or died slowly in venom and acid.

Since the birth of the Burning Empire, they have always suppressed other forces with their powerful long-range strike capabilities.

None of the players in the Empire had expected that the Dragon Worship Church would be able to launch such an offensive against them from a distance of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters before the war officially began.

Caught off guard, thousands of players died on the spot and tens of thousands were seriously injured. They lost a lot of heavy artillery, steam tanks, and arcane armor, and their long-range firepower dropped sharply.

Those aerospace warships all initiated emergency jumps and hid their bodies again. They did not dare to act rashly before analyzing the nature and weaknesses of the five-headed dragon phantoms.

The damage just now was really too great. After all, that was a giant aerospace ship, costing hundreds of thousands of gold nars, and each one was extremely precious.

In the sky above Linying City in the distance, Ulrichia looked ferocious and roared to the sky: "Did you see that? This is the power of the great mother of evil dragons! Her power can destroy everything in the world!"

"These humans only used some tricks, which are nothing compared to the might of the dragons! Without those weapons, they are like weak mice and will be crushed by our dragon beast army!"

"Praise the Lord of Ten Thousand Scales! The Queen of Immortality!"

"The dragon will eventually return to the earth and rule the world!" The cultists bowed down to the shadow in the sky and shouted loudly, with extremely pious and excited expressions - after all, they had just witnessed a miracle.

"Roar——" The roar of the dragon beasts shook the sky, and their heavy footsteps shook the earth.

For a moment, without the empire's fire suppression, the dragon beast army of the Dragon Worship Church was able to break through the obstacles and continue to charge towards the human legion's position.

"God."

"Lord of Eternal Glory, what exactly is that five-colored beam of light?"

The soldiers of the human legion looked up at the trace left by the column of light that split the sky, and were stunned and shocked.

If the players' frenzied bombardment just now was comparable to a miracle, then the five-colored beam of light that pierced the sky was a complete divine punishment, without any exaggeration.

However, misfortunes never come singly. In front of them, smoke and dust rolled across the earth, and the ground was shaking. The crazy group of dragon beasts had come within a thousand meters of the human position, and were about to crush and crush them like a mountain.

Adrian held on to his courage and shouted, "Don't be afraid! The eternal sunlight is protecting us!"

People only felt confused before their eyes. They clenched their shields and spears in their hands and stared nervously at the front, listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer and closer, and watching the hideous black shadows getting bigger and bigger until they arrived close to them.

"They are coming!" someone screamed.

"Roar--"

A foul and sticky gale blew in their faces, and the dragon beasts opened their bloody mouths and rushed forward, directly into the human army's defense line. Their bodies weighing several tons or even more than ten tons stomped hard on the heavy shield soldiers, crushing them directly. Even the armor on their bodies was flattened, making a harsh metal friction sound.

In just a moment, the human army's defense line was crushed to pieces. This was not a breakthrough from a certain direction or position, but an all-round crush!

These dragon beasts were born from the blood and flesh of countless humans. They were inherently evil and manic. After rushing into the crowd, they greedily bit the soldiers' bodies and swung their huge claws. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and broken armor splashed everywhere.

"No, block it!"

"Damn it, that dragon beast is coming! Amaunator is above!"

The wailing of the soldiers, the roar of the dragon beasts, the crisp sound of cracking armor, and the dull sound of footsteps mixed together, playing a melody full of primitive blood.

"No, I will never let these evil dragons continue to wreak havoc on the land of Seleucia!" Adrian drew his sword, his eyes flashing, and the sharp sword released a golden light.

He thrust out with his sword, the tip of the sword piercing through the thick fur, tearing the flesh, bones and brain, and directly piercing through the head of a dragon beast. He pulled out the bloody sword, and the dragon beast fell to the ground with a bang, and white brain matter flowed out from the wound.

However, the dragon beasts did not hesitate, roaring and continuing to charge towards Adrian head-on.

"Despicable humans!"

At this moment, accompanied by a loud dragon roar, an extremely vicious venom spurted out from the sky and hit Adrian's back, corroding and penetrating his armor, leaving it in tatters.

Adrian turned his head slightly and saw a huge adult green dragon swooping down from the sky, claws bared, attacking him from behind. But the dragon beast in front was also about to rush in, making Adrian a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, excited shouts rang out: "For the Empire! For the Emperor!"

I saw a humanoid creature over four meters tall and wearing heavy armor falling from the sky, standing in front of the dragon beast with full confidence.

He relied on his inhuman strength to forcibly resist the mad dragon beast. The strange sword in his hand hummed incessantly, and its jagged blade kept turning and emitting sparks.
