"...the rebel forces are currently concentrated at the mouth of Fagon Gap, numbering about fifteen thousand men."

"...The spies in the Rock Sword Division have reported new information. They saw a force bypassing the offshore sea and approaching from the line of Shuangham Island. It seems that they intend to make a surprise attack on our flanks and rear."

"...The internal spies have already started to take action. They have just transported away several magnetic storm armors that Xia Hui led to support us."

"Elder, you said don't worry about it. Could it be that those armors..."

Elder Manya stood on the top of the observation tower, looking at the position of the rebel mountain people in the distance.

Behind him, a personal guard was reporting the news.

"Well, it's indeed not normal." Hearing the guard's doubtful question, the old man looked away from the distance, his expression even showing a hint of joy.

He laughed and said: "Given so many opportunities, they finally took action - Ke De and the people from Feiyandi are not good at it. They are too cautious. They don't understand the principle of taking action when they should take action."

"Congratulations, elder!" the guard said sincerely: "The other spies discovered..."

Elder Manya made a gesture of waving downwards, and the guards immediately understood.

While waiting for the personal guards to leave and preparing to arrest and kill all the spies, Manya turned his head and looked to the east, which was farther away than the rebel mountain people's position.

Naturally, the changes in the Steel Dragon's Nest could not be hidden from his eyes. The flow of the wind became more rapid, causing the Heart Light Body in his body to tremble slightly.

"It's a bit unexpected. Did Ian discover any new information that makes him so anxious?"

Touching his beard, the old man felt a little puzzled, but in general, he completely believed in all of Ian's decisions: "It's not a big problem. If this happens, Cord or other second-level people will have to go back for a day or two." . The positive pressure will be reduced a lot."

"Especially..." Imagining the expressions of those spies when they carefully transported those magnetic storm armors back to their lair, Elder Manya showed a sense of gloating that "you also have today": "Later, they will definitely welcome A surprise."

the other side.

Feiyandi Nanling Special Operations Brigade Base.

Underground laboratory.

"Quickly, quickly, put these important goods in!"

"Be gentle with your hands and don't bump it - although the skin is theoretically very solid, it's best not to damage it!"

"Pull the work box over here and conduct a preliminary inspection before putting it into storage!"

In the laboratory, noisy voices rang out. Most of Feiyandi's engineering researchers in Nanling gathered here. They were attentive and eager. They all gathered around a dark brown magnetic storm armor and commented: "This kind of The sublimation armor is very simple, but it is indeed an armed structure that can be mass-produced and can be used as a reference!"

"It is said that this brand-new weapon was developed by the young man Xia Hui led alone. I don't really believe this. No matter how you look at it, it is a mature technology that has been at least more than ten years... Look at this circuit! It doesn’t involve any source structure, it is purely composed of conductive lines, it is simply an art!”

Some electromagnetic technicians are looking at the generator of the magnetic storm armor, and they are fascinated - Feiyandi does not have relevant thunder and lightning weapon technology, but there has never been such an idea as magnetic storm armor.

Whether it is a directional launch of magnetic storms or the fact that only a small amount of sublimation materials are used, Feiyandi is very interested in the magnetic storm armor. Since the Mountain Miner Alliance was defeated, the special operations brigade has added a new task of 'capture this armed force'.

With the efforts of the spies, they broke through the mountain people's crude defense measures in a short time and successfully transported all five magnetic storm armors to their base.

"This structure... is very delicate."

The relevant senior researcher disassembled the armor on the outside of the armor and observed the internal coil structure. He couldn't help but look moved: "This is specifically for playing with electricity - look, you all come and take a look. The circuits and energy used in it only use electricity. It doesn’t involve the slightest bit of source energy (hereinafter referred to as source energy)!”

"The only place where source energy is used is the alchemy furnace, and the rotor structure surrounding the alchemy furnace is used to convert the source energy into electrical energy... Is it to avoid special interference from the source matter? In general, the empire It is about twenty years ahead of us in terms of magnetic storm technology, and the private weapons used by small local lords are so sophisticated, it is difficult to imagine the strength of the models used by the official military of the empire."

“It’s really amazing!”

A young researcher stepped forward to carefully observe the power generation engine around the heart of the alchemy furnace. He reached out his hand and touched the complex structure made of metal in front of him with his fingers carrying a slight current: "But... I feel that the energy storage structure should be okay. Optimization? It feels like a lot of energy is wasted."

"Oh?" His words attracted the attention of other researchers. The senior researcher came over. He also followed the young researcher's guidance and looked in the direction of the accumulator: "Indeed. Strange, why? This should be a very simple source. Cold conversion equipment, why does he need to fine-tune the frequency so that part of the source energy cannot be converted into ordinary current?"

"This does not seem to be a simple design error, but a deliberate decision."

Several researchers fell into deep thought, and then one of them suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, so that's it. This shunt seems to be used to stabilize the frequency. In fact, its real function is to transfer the essence and store it inside the engine. And crystallize, but the stored source matter will be activated..."

"etc……"

The senior researcher observed carefully for a while. He finally figured out the real function of this structure, and his expression suddenly changed: "This thing...will explode?!"

"This alchemy furnace can actually explode?!"

Yes. It will explode.

And it's very powerful.

Because of the current stimulation from the previous researcher and because the originally scheduled explosion conditions were all met, at this moment, the cyan-blue light was rapidly lighting up at the core energy furnace of the magnetic storm armor, illuminating the drastic changes in everyone's expressions. They turned around and wanted to escape. The faces of the researchers or the backs of their heads.

But it's too late.

Accompanied by a harsh burst of electricity, violent thunder began to spread in all directions!

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Not far away, Captain Naimo, who was frowning and looking in the direction of the Steel Dragon's Nest, felt a little irritable at the moment.

The reason why Feiyandi cooperates with the mountain people and is so patient is that they want to use their hands to try to unlock the legacy of Qiang Steel Dragon that has been sealed in dust for four hundred years.

Yes, disrupting Nanling is indeed their main strategic goal, but this does not mean that they have no other goals... Steel Dragon's Nest, as the holy land guarded by the Jiamu tribe, was originally regarded as a treasure by Naimo. As long as it was defeated The last pro-imperial mountaineer force in the Frodo Autonomous Region, they can study this Dragon God relic openly under the cover of the independent mountaineers.

But now, not only are Xia Hui Ling and Qiang Gang Mountain experiencing abnormalities, but even the Steel Dragon's Nest has become active beyond his control...

"Forget it. Take your time. At least you have gained something recently."

Naimo's dull expression improved a little, and Naimo was about to go back and write a report to submit to the headquarters - getting the sample of the magnetic storm armor was already a credit. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be transferred as soon as possible and replace it with someone else. A rural place where demons are roaming around suffers.

There were too many messy things and people in this damn place, and he couldn't bear it.

His wish was about to be dashed.

Because a grand explosion appeared in the laboratory underground of the base.

"What?!"

The moment he sensed the rumble coming from the ground, Naimo's expression suddenly changed, and he realized something was wrong - the captain immediately took out a psychic jewelry from his arms, and immediately protected it with a spherical shield.

But the lightning that burst out from the ground burst out from the cracked ground, setting off a gust of wind that instantly blew the dazed Naimo and his office away.

——Together with the reports and documents that have not yet been written.

The flames of the explosion appeared in an unknown corner in the northwest of the Baisen Mountains. With the obvious electromagnetic wave movement and slowly burning document debris flying all over the sky, it has been completely located.

But no one cares about this anymore.

Naimo's angry roar echoed from the ruins of the base.

"Emperor! Country! People!"

So, what are the Imperial people doing at this moment?

The Imperials are ambushing.

To the west of Xiahui City, outside Victory Square and the mountain tent area, there is a newly built construction area. Because of the recent continuous rain, it is covered with plastic sheeting. However, looking from a distance, you can still see the alchemy factory that will be built here. The size of the workshop is large enough to be called luxurious for this small town.

But today, unlike the gloomy clouds surrounding the Midela Autonomous Region, the sun is shining brightly under Xiahui.

After all, artificial rainfall has driven away the clouds for several rounds. If it rains again, the Alchemy Department will have to write a review.

Commander-in-chief Scott stood on the peak beside Xiahui Lake. From here he could overlook the valley gorge and the 'construction area' in the west of the city. Beside him, Xiahui Lake was quietly rotating, reflected in the smooth mirror-like surface of the lake. In line with the colors of the surrounding woods and sky, the sky and clouds overlap in layers, and under the sunlight, they are like gemstone facets that are constantly changing colors and images.

Although the lake view is beautiful, now is not the time to enjoy the scenery. As the magnetic watch oscillates, Scott's expression changes slightly. He calls to other soldiers to observe the sky on the west side with telescopes.

Soon, they saw three-headed steel pterosaurs coming out of the clouds.

These are three extremely ferocious creatures with a sense of strength and beauty. Their bodies made of steel reflect cold light in the sun, and they have a distinct smell of solidity. They hover lightly in the sky, confirming their goals.

The leader of the big dragon is huge, but it can still only be seen as small dots at an altitude of more than two thousand meters. Many observers on the ground have to rely on tools to distinguish it.

However, even though the appearance could not be seen clearly, the existence of the third-level dragon still made everyone feel slightly cold, and an uncontrollable panic began to appear.

"Don't worry! Have you forgotten the Nauman City Dragon Hunting Team ambushing nearby? They are the main force this time! We only need to use secret weapons to injure them - at least, the two dragons will lose their combat effectiveness!"

This kind of instinctive fear that spreads from the life level is extremely difficult to avoid. To be honest, Scott's body itself is also very scared, but he still uses his tenacious will to shout in a low voice to awaken everyone's fighting spirit: "Prepare—prepare the positions in West City as well! Once they drop to a certain height, take action immediately!"

Located in the northwest of the city, Nauman City's dragon-hunting team also hid their armor under plastic cloth. They also looked up at the dragon shadow in the sky with solemn expressions.

Soon, the steel pterosaurs who had determined their target were about to launch a surprise attack. They were unwilling to tell the truth and leave too much evidence, so they just chose the simplest attack method.

Buzzing, the iron ore that had been prepared on the back of the pterosaur floated up and slid down to the tail end. The tail scales of the steel pterosaur were the natural acceleration coil structure.

These iron ores that have been roughly refined into spherical shapes are constantly expanding, splitting and reuniting under the influence of strong magnetic force, accelerating around the pterosaur's tail.

They are continuously magnetized and purified in the process. With the blessing of bursts of iridescent magnetic fields, the iron ore is accelerated in dazzling supersonic sonic booms, and then disintegrates and collapses in dazzling flames.

Large swaths of iron rain fell towards the ground.

Like a shooting star.

"Defense! Counterattack!"

Scott raised his head and watched this scene. He even predicted these iron meteors before they landed and issued instructions.

On the ground, the foundation of the alchemy workshop covered by plastic cloth was suddenly lifted, and the four steel supports lit up with extremely dazzling cyan blue electric light. They resonated with each other, rotated and spread, and finally spread into a cyan light. Electromagnetic force field.

The iron meteor fell at several times supersonic speed, almost instantly crossing a distance of two thousand meters, and hit the electromagnetic force field - the harsh scraping sound and the pulsating sound of electricity resounded throughout Xiahui City, triggering a panic. screamed.

But these electromagnetic meteors that were originally enough to destroy half of the city did not cause any damage. After the smell of burned metal, the smoke dispersed, and the four electromagnetic shields modified from magnetic storm coils were still intact, although two of them had already Overloaded, but still usable.

And right in the center of the position, a dark and inconspicuous turret has been calibrated through previous observations and attacks. The dazzling crystal shines and charges at the core.

Immediately afterwards, there was a thick stream of light that cut through the sky and clouds, accurately hitting the dragon that was caught off guard. It never thought that its attack would be defended, nor that it would be counterattacked——

But it was blocked.

Stab - the dazzling white light scatters in all directions, enough to penetrate the castle and melt the top of a mountain. The power of the light prism cannon is enough to barely reach the edge of the third energy level. Its highly condensed source of light and general The laser is different, it is the power that can penetrate the heart light shield on the body surface of the third-level powerhouse.

Even if it is blocked, the beam it scatters is enough to shatter the clouds, leaving glaring and dark traces in the sky and people's eyes.

But here’s the question – what exactly blocks the light?

The answer is the heart.

The leader of the dragon realized something was wrong the moment it saw the iron meteor being blocked. It immediately let out a long groan and turned its mind, as if a dark dragon made of shadows appeared out of thin air and blocked it in front of it.

Heart light body ‘Shadow Dragon’.

The Heartlight Body that emerged in front of the dragon was a shadow pterosaur that was larger than its body, with wider wings and thicker body armor. In addition, it also had front claws similar to those of a real dragon. Extremely sharp.

For Warcraft, in addition to the 'manifestation' of their own inherent abilities that have been strengthened, their inner light bodies also have 'evolved forms in their own imagination'. This steel pterosaur is obviously the latter.

If it can continuously evolve and improve itself according to the shape of its own heart-light body, it can transform itself into a 'special subspecies' of this monster, leaving behind a new special bloodline and a new ethnic group.

Just like this big dragon, if it can reach the fourth energy level, it will create a new bloodline group of 'Shadow Winged Dragons'. For Warcraft, this may be their 'true form'.

The Heart Light Body shield composed of the 'Shadow Dragon' folded the light prism cannon. The Steel Winged Dragon originally wanted to use the special power of the Heart Light Body to swallow up these light flows, but found that the source matter was too condensed and could not be used at all. It could only refract it - but the refraction was too hasty. It was extremely shocked and angry as it watched the two dragons beside it falling while wailing.

After all, the light prism cannon is a city-breaking weapon specially made by Ian. Even if its power is scattered, it is enough to shoot down these second-level steel pterosaurs.

Dalong was indeed uninjured, but he lost Liaolong who was protecting him.

"Is it my turn to take action?" Adlbert walked out from behind the light prism cannon. Just now, he was secretly targeting the Steel Winged Dragon with the power of the third level, and covering up the aura of the entire position.

The white-haired Dead Lord raised his head and thought with some hesitation: "But the empire's dragon hunting team is right next to you. Do you really need me to take action? I must not expose it."

He still doesn't have much combat experience. If Ian is here, he will definitely pursue the victory, even if the light prism cannon is overloaded and burned, he will still have to fire another shot - but for the weapons that he made with his own hands, Adebert still cares a little bit. My heart is unwilling to be consumed like this.

But it wasn't a big problem, because with a rapid explosion, the armor of the dragon hunting team was propelled by flames and flew quickly towards the steel pterosaur that was caught off guard.

At the same time, several restraining hooks were ejected from its back. They all had suction power, and as soon as they were ejected, they were directly attracted to the flying wings of the Steel Pteranodon.

However, this method can only deal with some ordinary steel pterosaurs. How can a third-level dragon be troubled by this trick? The dragon retracted its wings, and then spread its huge body as lightly as a butterfly. The magnetic field all over its body began to rotate rapidly, flicking away those hooks.

[You can’t kill me! 】

The Steel Pterodactyl spread its wings, and it abandoned its two pterodactyls and climbed rapidly toward the sky - after being ambushed, it still wanted to fight in revenge? How could Warcraft be so stupid? They always just run away!

The Dragon Hunter Armor fired several tracking alchemy bombs. If Ian were here, he would definitely be surprised, "Isn't this an air-to-air missile?" ', but no matter which weapon it is, it is meaningless when facing the third energy level who wants to escape with all his strength. The speed of the alchemy bullet is indeed faster than that of the Steel Winged Dragon, but every time it seems to hit, it will be hit by a layer of Swallowed by dark shadows.

Bang bang bang, a dull explosion erupted in the shadow dragon's heart light body, which made the heart light body become a little illusory. The steel winged dragon's expression also seemed to be hit, but its speed not only did not slow down, but became faster. Be quick!

It was still climbing, reaching a height that even the dragon-hunting armor could not pursue.

At this time, both Scott and Adebert, as well as Nauman City's dragon-hunting team, felt that it was almost over - the steel-winged dragon's raid on the Xiahui Territory had been stopped, and two dragon-headed dragons had been shot down. This is already a pretty good result.

With this temporary preparation, it was indeed a bit of a gamble to defeat a third-level dragon. This time, luck was not on their side.

And just when everyone almost stopped, preparing to watch the steel-winged dragon run away in embarrassment.

Suddenly, a red-silver stream of light flashed through the clouds and wind on the other side of the sky.

【I can】

A pleasant voice sounded.

The abnormal dragon armed with steel, or in other words, the real dragon with some underdeveloped wings, vibrated its steel prosthetic body, while the red-haired dragon girl stood on the head of her real body. She raised her finger, and her white and slender index finger pointed forward. a little.

Immediately, flames that were translucent but enough to scorch and distort the air ignited simultaneously in the mouth of the real dragon and in the huge flame-winged heart light body emerging from its back.

The power exerted by the physical body and the light body at the same time melted away all the clouds in the sky in an instant.

For the Steel Winged Dragon, a fatal crisis suddenly came. A bit of flames bloomed in front of its eyes. It roared and wanted to fight back. The shadow dragon's body collapsed and turned into a black shield that tightly wrapped its whole body. This The power called 'Shadow Realm' is enough to instantly transfer it to the subspace, temporarily avoiding all harm in the real world.

However, it never thought that the fire of the abnormal dragon was something that ignited from the soul and boiled in the virtual realm.

Along with the spitting, the transparent flames burned through the shadow without any hindrance, causing it to howl in agony.

It fell like a meteor, creating a huge crater on the ground and filling the sky with smoke and dust.

【That is? !]

The driver of the dragon-hunting armor in the distance was horrified. For a moment, she did not expect that the strange real dragon that suddenly appeared was a friendly force. It was not until the auxiliary teammate on the ground prompted her that she realized: [Wait...that is The child of the Mountain King, the abnormal dragon Xio? ! 】

[How come... He seems to have been mostly cured? 】

"The flames of the virtual realm? The purity is so high."

In Xiahui City, Adelbert squinted his eyes. He could see the flames lit by Xiou, and he couldn't help but wonder: "A child of an earth-type true dragon does not have much earth-type talent due to deformation. Instead, he has extremely powerful souls." Outstanding reinforcement...how could he grow like this?"

"This kind of soul form... is very interesting. No wonder those people in Feiyan Land want to arrest him for research related to virtual dragon souls. I don't know if Ian's face can allow him to cooperate..."

The researcher's true nature was revealed, and Adebert murmured some dangerous words to himself.

And Xiou didn't pay attention to these words that happened in the distance.

Controlling the wings of the prosthetic body to slowly lower, the former Teratosaurus stepped on a shadow, declaring his first victory since his recovery.

[First goal solved]

The red-haired dragon girl turned her head and looked in the direction of the Steel Dragon's nest: [The next step is to really help Ian...]

Everyone's eyes are directed towards the Steel Dragon's Nest.

Ian stood on the top of the Steel Dragon's lair, and he patiently waited for the arrival of his opponent - no matter what, no matter whether it was Cord Jiamu or not, someone would eventually come here and become a stepping stone for his next plan.

And Kede Jiamu was speeding.

He knew nothing about the explosion that occurred at the Feiyandi base, the destruction within his tribe, and the failure of the Xiahui leader's raid. He didn't even know that all his plans had been seen through long ago, and even traps were set in advance.

He only knew that someone was causing the mutation in the Steel Dragon's Nest, and he was going to stop the other party and find out the secret of why the other party was able to cause the mutation in the Dragon's Nest.

Amid the clouds and heavy rain, he arrived at the edge of the Steel Dragon's lair.

Here the mountain chief raised his head.

Apart from the white-haired boy, the first thing he saw was a streak of lightning that snaked down from the clouds and cut through the darkness.

It illuminated the faces of both parties, and also flashed in the chief's mind a title that was obscured by the dragon god's messenger and therefore was not spread too widely.

Dazzling thunder fell behind him, and the lightning that tore through the darkness intertwined like a net in the clouds.

The thundering prophet looked at him and smiled.
