Chapter 430: A Sharp Turn for the Worse

Four hours later, Chaoyang, Kokomochi and Elodie appeared in the south of the mountains. The winding ridgeline was like a white wall, dividing the continent into two and isolating the north-south traffic lines. However, for the three people flying in the air, this barrier was just a pleasing scenery.

Chaoyang's decision to come to the mountains in person was not a whim. With the angels able to take him to travel a thousand miles a day, the surrounding areas of Qianlin Castle can basically be reached within half a day, and close reconnaissance is a very convenient choice.

Secondly, if the huge changes that happened to Mekfa and others were really related to the evil god or the new god, he could also use the telepathic vision to lock the source, which is an effect that is difficult to achieve with a reconnaissance aircraft. In addition to the inexplicable death of Kokomochi's chief believer, taking the magic goddess with him would also give him an extra flying helper.

"Ha, ha!" Elodie couldn't help sneezing in the whistling cold wind.

Although the three of them were wearing relatively thick clothes, they still couldn't completely isolate the cold air at high altitudes. Even at an altitude of 4,000 meters with no one around, she wiped her nose and carefully folded the tissue and put it in her pocket. This "unhygienic" action made the magic goddess next to her look weird.

Chaoyang's heart suddenly moved.

He muttered for a moment, then snapped his fingers, "Wind."

In an instant, Elodie and Kokomochi's flying hair fell down - the surroundings were still windy, but the sharpness and coldness no longer existed, as if these winds were just gentle illusions.

"This works?" The two were surprised, "How did you do it?"

"I tried to change the properties of the wind... but I didn't expect it to be so useful." Chaoyang replied. In a sense, the wind blowing within a meter around him was already another thing, just like the fire he summoned under the beach ruins. And this special wind squeezed out all the cold wind from the outside, so that only its own characteristics were presented in the divine kingdom.

"It's good to use it to describe the authority of the gods. If Wei Mi could understand you, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood." Shi Yin rolled his eyes and said, "But don't use it as a convenient ability to be lazy. This kind of power will attract the attention of other gods. If you imagine the barriers between the worlds as barriers, it is the seed of weakening the barriers."

Even if I want to use it on a large scale, I can't use it.

He estimated that the speed at which this ability consumes willpower is several times that of other abilities. If you want to create a Ningfeng area that can match the Kingdom of Qianlin Fortress, it is estimated that all the willpower can be burned out in half a month.

"It's just like magic," Kokomochi said with some envy.

"If there is such magic, it must be called maze magic."

At least in this maze, everything can be defined by the gods.

After flying over the snow-capped mountain top, the scenery behind the mountains gradually appeared in front of the three people. It is said that this mountainous area has a total of 20 to 30 towns, including sheltered valleys suitable for farming and cliff cities rich in mineral veins. Even if it is disconnected from the outside world, it can still be self-sufficient. In the past many years, this place has maintained a high degree of self-reliance, and the Winter Kingdom got its name from this.

But they saw a lot of beacon smoke.

That's right... that was the beacon smoke warning of the coming of war. There were beacons on the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. The thin black smoke columns were particularly conspicuous in the sky.

Even in the direction of Zhaixing City, which is close to the highest point of the mountain, the same beacon smoke was rising.

The angel was surprised and said, "Is this... the mountains invaded?"

From the situation, it seems so, but the problem is that there are only two or three roads into the mountains, and all of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is almost a fantasy to want to spread the war all over the north at once! Judging from the time, the alliance army only appeared near the royal city three days ago. Even if the Longjiu family immediately organized a counterattack, it would take more than three days to drag a large group of people and logistics to the foot of the mountains!

"Let's take a closer look." Chaoyang said.

The three flew towards Zhaixing City. When they were four or five kilometers away, a strange bird rushed towards them. Because the bird's route was too strange and there was no shelter in the air, Chaoyang noticed the bird two kilometers away.

After a careful look, he found that it was actually a bird-like mechanical creation.

"A flapping wing machine?"

Elodie also saw something strange.

Although it was flapping its wings, it did not have the beauty of a bird. It had no head or tail. Under its square body were three pairs of arthropods, just like a big insect. The legs were bent inward, tightly holding a "package".

Although Chaoyang wanted to catch it and see what the internal structure of this classic flapping-wing machine was, the thick smoke in the Star-Picking City made him decide to act cautiously, "Don't let it get close."

"Leave it to me." The angel hugged Chaoyang with one hand, and summoned the Wind-Slashing Sword with the other hand. The strong wind condensed by the willpower seemed to be unaffected by the "maze setting" and smoothly chopped towards the mechanical bird!

The latter seemed to sense the threat and changed direction quickly, as if trying to avoid the attack. But the Wind-Slashing Sword was faster, and it swept across its back in the blink of an eye, cutting the two wings into pieces.

When the mechanical bird was about to fall, it suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and the explosion shock wave mixed with a large amount of debris spread around. Although the three were startled, Elodie still summoned the wind wall in time to block herself from being injured by the fragments.

Machinery... can fly... and can explode. No matter how you look at it, this thing is already a weapon.

And it looks very much like a modern drone, even more concealed than a traditional quadcopter.

The question is where is the remote controller?

Inventing a remote-controlled drone that can be used in actual combat in a world without electricity is shocking enough.

Kokomochi didn't think that deeply. She was just surprised that even the sky was no longer safe.

After the three of them looked at each other, Chaoyang was the first to react.

"Let's find a place to land first, so as not to be targeted by this bomb bird again."

Elodie led the two to lower the altitude, flew along the ridge to the Star Picking City, and finally landed on a watchtower on the edge of the city. Chaoyang saw that there were many mechanical birds of the previous style in the sky. They circled around irregularly, and occasionally one or two would rush down and create a violent explosion on the streets or houses.

The Star Picking City was not being beaten unilaterally. Sand forts and soldiers firing back could be seen on several nearby streets. The legendary Peak Industrial Heavy Knights were shooting fiercely at them. Although Chaoyang had heard about the battle to defend the royal city a long time ago, it was the first time he saw this kind of robot-like fully armored soldiers with his own eyes, and judging from the remains scattered on the ground, this army also suffered a lot of losses.

"It's really the Longjiu family's army... How could this happen? How did they break through the natural barrier?" Kokomochi's face was quite solemn. Even if she disliked the Alliance Army, she would never want to see the fall of Zhaixing City. Moreover, after the enemy occupied the mountains, they could threaten Qianlin Castle from two directions at the same time. The latter was located in a plain forest area with no defense, and the strategic risk would be greatly increased.

Three days... In just three days, Longjiu's army was able to attack the heartland of the Kingdom of Winter, which was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. And Duke Luoxia's idea of ​​using the mountains as a barrier and defeating the Longjiu family in a tight defense now seemed to be a joke!

But Chaoyang had no time to think about this problem.

His attention was completely drawn to the hall at the highest point of the city. In his spiritual vision, he saw countless black threads merging towards the sky, and finally gathered into a thick beam of wish power above the hall. It was completely black, forming a sharp contrast with all the wish power colors he had seen in the past, like an ominous pillar supporting the sky.
