Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 417-415: A Grand Appreciation of the Allied Forces' Strength (Bonus Chapter 1)

If the methods employed by the Habsburg Empire are characterized by magic energy as the driving force and innovation as the main focus, then the various types of magic energy weapons, especially magic energy cannons, have been developed in countless innovative ways.

The allied forces unearthed all sorts of methods from history, methods that belonged to poetry, legends, and even mythology.

In one of the most classic instances, the allied forces, after trying numerous methods to recapture a crucial position without success, actually produced an ancient stone giant's heart.

Using the heart of this ancient stone giant as a sacrifice, they actually summoned a Cloud Mountain Giant that had been destroyed in the primordial era.

These giants, whose bodies are made entirely of stone, are over a hundred meters tall, with feet that are tens of meters long, and their weight is immeasurable.

More importantly, it carries a certain seismic field, and with each step it takes, extending from the point where its foot lands, it can trigger small earthquakes.

What Luo Yi could see was that with each step, the earth cracked, as if fissures had opened up.

All the trees, rocks, buildings, and even bunkers and ravines along the way were shattered and fell into the abyss.

Once the other foot steps across and touches the ground, the cracked ground closes up again.

As a result, wherever the Cloud Mountain Giant passed, the terrain and landform of the area were completely changed.

According to legend, these giants were created by the Creator to shape the terrain.

It transformed the land from a barren and desolate place into a rugged and winding landscape, bringing forth mountains, rivers, swamps, and lakes into existence.

However, as life proliferates, the existence of such giants becomes the greatest destruction, turning decades or even centuries of painstaking construction into ruins wherever they go.

Therefore, the primordial gods launched a massacre to exterminate them.
And they made a final attempt to save themselves, merging everything into their hearts, which is the heart of this ancient stone giant.

It's hard to imagine how many years it took for it to reappear in the world, be reactivated, and transform once again into a giant of clouds and mountains.

Even though it is just an infantile existence, wherever it goes, the earth cracks, mountains give way, soil and rocks fly, and dust swirls.

And all the trenches and bunkers built on the earth were destroyed by such a powerful force of nature.

The Imperial soldiers did consider retaliating, but the bullets fired from their heavy machine guns were ineffective, and their artillery barrage was like fireworks celebrating the rebirth of the Cloud Mountain Giant.

They died a horrific death; their bodies were never found, and the very positions they were guarding sank into the ground.

When the Cloud Mountain Giant passed by, the terrain here changed completely. The original continuous mountain range was transformed into a long ravine.

If more rainwater accumulates, it might become a large river.

However, what Luo Yi saw last was the Cloud Mountain Giant's roar that shook the clouds in the sky.

The brilliant sunlight streamed down, and his eyes revealed longing, sorrow, loneliness, and anger...

The complex emotions are hard to describe!
Finally, his eyes closed, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His death was not due to the Empire bringing out some powerful weapon, nor was it due to any tricks the Allied Forces had laid when they summoned him; it was simply because times had changed!

This is no longer a barbaric era!

The environment here has undergone tremendous changes, from elemental density to atmospheric composition, from the laws of nature to the gravitational environment...

Everything is different now!

This world, millions of years in the future, is no longer suitable for their survival, so he was actually abandoned by the times!

Luo Yi even saw a kind of sadness in him!

Perhaps, if we cannot adapt to the development of the times, we will only be eliminated or abandoned.

This was the first shock the Allied Forces gave Roy, but it was by no means the whole story.

The second time was on a large river called the Thorne River.

This river is downstream of the city of Luttia and is an extremely important strategic location. The empire dispatched a large number of soldiers to capture it.

Just when it seemed they were about to completely lose their position, three nobles arrived from the allied forces.

Judging from their appearance, they are a typical three generations of a family: grandfather, father, and grandson, all dressed in elegant and sharp gentleman's suits, exuding aristocratic elegance in every move.

Their expressions, however, were tragic yet filled with sorrow, like warriors facing death.

In fact, they came to die, and right there on the banks of the Saône River, they pierced their own hearts with daggers.

The blood of three generations flowed into the Saône River, and then the calm waters began to churn and surge.

Ultimately, it transformed into rolling waves, forming an angry face with three heads, roaring and surging downstream, submerging everything in its path.

In ancient legends, mountains, rocks, plants and trees are all believed to possess spirituality.

By chance, they receive the worship, faith, and sacrifices of living beings, and thus they continue to grow stronger.

They will also use their own power to unleash the roar of nature and protect their believers.

This is the spirit of nature!
Many of them will perish over time, be destroyed by blood, or be killed by hostile natural spirits, while others will continue to grow stronger and become gods.

But some will remain in their own little corner of the world, sleeping soundly for a long time until the end of time.

Of course, they can also be awakened under certain circumstances.

Just like now, the death of three ancient bloodlines has awakened the hidden spirit of nature, which has unleashed the fury of the rivers and directly overwhelmed the imperial legions.

In this battle, the Empire suffered heavy losses, while the Allied forces happily collected the spoils of war: cannons, grenades, heavy machine guns, rifles…

Although they couldn't use these, for the Allied forces, they were already considered as great achievements as killing the enemy.

The third location was the battlefield of the Tana Plains, where the Empire and the Allied Forces engaged in a protracted and brutal tug-of-war for control of this strategic location.

In this battle, to boost morale, the empire dispatched the strongest warriors from the various noble families.

A total of three hundred extraordinary knights gathered, all of whom became the vanguard of the battlefield.

As facts have proven, a certain number of strong individuals can indeed lead to a qualitative change.

A large number of Tier 3 Transcendent beings filled the battlefield. Even heavy machine gun fire, rocket launcher bombardment, and mortar bombardment could not suppress this group of fierce warriors who charged forward with shields, aura, and magical shields.

As they charged closer, disrupting the Imperial soldiers' attack rhythm, elite knights immediately followed from behind.

Thus, close-quarters combat, a rarity throughout the entire battle, erupted between the two sides in various locations along the trenches.

Logically, this should be the Cavaliers' home turf.

When it comes to melee combat with cold weapons, they are all incredibly skilled, but the Empire is not without contingency plans.

Imperial soldiers attached bayonets to their guns, and while they fought, magic continued to flow into their weapons, with a finger pressed on the trigger.

In this way, they can fire bullets at close range during combat.

Although it is easy to cause accidental injury, you cannot deny that this method is vicious and ruthless, and difficult to defend against.

Even those extraordinary knights would get goosebumps and be terrified when they saw the gun pointed at them.

The result was that they managed to breach the enemy's battlefield, but they didn't actually gain an absolute advantage.

As the situation became increasingly tense, both sides continued to reinforce their troops, and the hand-to-hand combat became increasingly brutal. Finally, the allied forces reluctantly took out a divine weapon.

It was an ancient horn, seemingly made of bronze, appearing to be half gold and half copper, covered in rust and with a gap.

However, anyone with a good magical sense can detect the thick elemental power deposited within it.

Like a silent ocean, it appears calm, but no one dares to probe its depths.

In order to invoke this horn, some sacrificial ceremonies were held within the allied forces. A frenzied shaman danced a bizarre dance and finally blew it before exhausting his life.

The long, deep sound of the horn carried on, and a faint red mist seemed to spread between heaven and earth, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

The result was that the soldiers on the coalition side became incredibly fanatical.

Their hearts raced, their strength increased, their reactions became faster, their eyes bloodshot, and they became excited and fearless.

They can quickly stop bleeding from their injuries, and even in vital areas, they can continue fighting until they completely run out of blood and die.

This is the treasure left behind by the God of War, the God of War's horn!
It has the effect of naturally granting buffs such as Frenzy, Passion, and Fearlessness to its allies.

Its coverage area is extremely wide, even covering battlefields where tens of thousands of people are fighting.

Because it is a magical artifact, it is not simply a potential activation technique. Therefore, even after the effects wear off, it will not cause irreversible damage to the body.

Even if you feel weak, you can recover after some rest and good food.

Of course, these alone are not enough to call it a divine artifact.

Its most amazing effect is actually its extremely long duration.

How long will it grow?

As long as the battle continues, it can continue indefinitely.

Legend has it that in the kingdom of the God of War, there is an arena where all races fight. Every warrior who steps onto the stage is blessed and engages in endless battles.

This is truly a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield!

After all, in the battlefield of cold weapons, there may be differences in weapon technology, but not that much, so morale is the most important thing.

This 'War God's Horn' can ignore the situation and directly boost morale, making it most suitable for use in the current situation.

The allied forces took advantage of this and directly captured this key position.

However, when the empire launched its counterattack, it also employed its own methods.

The imperial warriors all took out pale green potions, which were not meant to be drunk directly, but rather injected into their legs.

As for its effects, it's not as magical as the Horn of War, but it can still block out all negative emotions.

They become incredibly calm, so calm that they seem inhuman.

They would execute precise attacks and defenses, counterattacks, and even calculate their own deaths in order to take down more enemies.

They are like heartless machines!
Can you imagine what it would be like if a passionate, berserk warrior clashed with a cold-blooded, ruthless machine?!

All I can say is that this is the most brutal battlefield, a veritable meat grinder that both armies' command posts find incredibly troublesome.
