‘Super Giant Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil’. It sounds scary, but the essence is to use the energy gathering system left by Qiangang Dragon and the petrified holy mountain of Qiangang as the base to gather energy, resonate with the surrounding spiritual field, and create a super giant lightning strike.

To put it bluntly, the force is so great that bricks fly away. With so much energy, even a simple light can be used as a weapon. However, in the weather like Nanling, where there are many cloudy and rainy days, the magnetic storm system is more useful.

The biggest difficulty 'how to condense so much energy' has been solved by Qiang Ganglong. The next thing to do is actually how to make the mountain people accept that someone wants to build a weird thunder-inducing tower on their holy mountain.

"It's all little things."

Elder Manya said: "Whoever expresses an opinion in this regard will be unable to express his opinion again. Since Ian you want to suppress the rebellion, then start from now on."

Indeed, it was Elder Manya who was hesitant about the Great Rebellion at first, but when he actually took action, the old man was quick and decisive - ordinary mountain people did not know how strong the Construct Knight was, but he knew very well what time it was. Still struggling with whether new buildings can be built on the Holy Mountain is putting the inherent dogma before life and death.

This kind of extreme conservatism should have been serious long ago!

"That's not necessary."

On the contrary, Ian felt that Elder Manya was a little bit of the traditional radicalism of Terra. He shook his head: "There is no point in blocking people's mouths. It is better to let them doubt first, and then use hard facts to break it. People The memory will be profound.”

“The bottom line is, let them question, then question, and then question again—until the thunder falls and all doubt dissipates and becomes reality.”

"...If this is what you think." Elder Manya was silent for a while, and felt that it was indeed the case. He nodded and said, "Then I will follow what you said."

It will take some time to prepare the ‘Super Giant Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil’ planned by Ian, and Elder Manya has already gone to prepare supplies.

Ian left the chiefs and priests where they were and went to the camp to find Xio who was observing his body.

At this time, Xiou was carefully looking at his body, which had lost most of its deformed parts - those abnormal bone spurs, proliferative tissue and various twisted bone fragments had all faded away, and Xiou's entire body had lost weight. It looks a bit like a big-headed doll, and only with the addition of metal prosthetics can it barely maintain the body structure and proportions of a 'dragon'.

However, even if he has not fully recovered, for Xiou himself, he is already very satisfied.

There is no pain when moving, and the freedom and joy of using the dragon body to experience the human body really makes him feel very satisfied.

[Mother may not be able to help]

He heard the exchange between Ian and Elder Manya, and said with some embarrassment: [The Steel Winged Dragon King had no intention of winning at all, he just wanted to hold his mother back...]

"I understand. If you don't want to win, you won't lose. The Steel Winged Dragon King is actually very smart. It has taken advantage of the Flying Flame Land, but it is not willing to really enmity with the empire."

How could Ian complain about the King of the Mountain? If the opponent had not stopped the dragon group, Nanling would have been destroyed long ago. He waved his hand and said: "In the final analysis, one side of the Absalom Mountains is the Flying Flame Land, and the other side is the Empire. It is only the fourth energy level, and it is not this The biggest threat in this war.”

[I can also help to resist the Constructed Knight! 】

Xio straightened up slightly, and the eyes of the red-haired dragon girl lying on top of her real body also lit up with spiritual light: [However, the construct knights all have 'mechanized minds' and auxiliary intelligence. My virtual realm It’s hard for fire to work...but even so, it’s no problem to block a Construct Knight]

"Don't worry too much."

Ian actually understood Xiou's eagerness to try - the lame man could suddenly walk, the blind man could suddenly see, and naturally he was extremely active and wanted to express himself, so he did not refuse directly, but He gave another suggestion: "But this time we are in a defensive battle, and we don't need to fight against each other... At that time, Xiouqi will help detect the enemy's attack direction and work together to hold the defense line."

【no problem! 】

Xio nodded repeatedly.

In fact, compared to Xiou's combat power, Ian, like Adalbert, was more interested in Xiou himself.

However, unlike Adalbert who was interested in Xiou's soul, Ian was more interested in Xiou's bloodline.

According to the memory left by Qiang Ganglong, he is the 'third generation true dragon', and if nothing unexpected happens, the King of the Mountain should be the 'fourth generation true dragon'. There is a whole generation difference between the two parties, and the King of the Mountain It is also the first generation of true dragons with the ability to reproduce.

Then, Xio, who was conceived by the King of Mountains, is the ‘fifth generation true dragon’.

As a true dragon bred purely from a true dragon, Xio is obviously completely different from the previous generations of true dragons. There is no concept of parents or elders in Qiang Ganglong’s memory, even as a teacher. As a second-generation true dragon, he is not so much an elder as he is a good friend with whom he can talk, who is older and stronger. The communication between both parties is very equal.

Then the question arises - what is the form of the first generation of true dragons?

Not a natural birth, with no parents or elders, the first generation of true dragons...maybe they were created directly by their creator?

"If we can find the remains or birthplace of the first generation of true dragons, we may be able to figure out the secret behind the true dragon civilization."

With this thought in Ian's mind, he looked at Xiou, the silver-blue light flashing in his eyes.

As the fifth-generation true dragon, Xio did not inherit the earth attribute essence of the Mountain King, but preferred the spiritual and soul-oriented ‘Dragon of the Void Realm’. This was also the suggestion given by Silver Chip.

This is a wonderful point. The development of true dragons actually has nothing to do with their parents, but with their acquired experiences... In a sense, this can prove that all true dragons are essentially the same, just like pieces of blank paper, and their differences It lies in the calligraphy and painting above, not in itself.

The previous generations of true dragons were all born after someone painted on a white paper, but the fifth generation of true dragons was a blank paper from the beginning... and the reason why there seems to be inheritance among the bloodlines of true dragons may just be because The elder True Dragon and the younger generation experienced the same living environment, so they have similar attributes.

That being the case, what does the ‘little steel dragon’ that appears in Canaan Moore mean?

The steel dragon Solstner has long since passed away. Even if he, the third-generation true dragon, awakens his fertility at the end of his life and leaves behind a dragon egg, the little dragons born will still live underground. , in theory, it should be another earth-type true dragon that is similar to him, rather than the Qiang Steel Dragon that can create Qiang Steel Stone.

This is indeed a problem.

Ian thought again of the dark golden dragon he saw on the Spiritual Disaster Path... There were still many problems on Canaan Moore's side, and it was obviously impossible to figure them out unless he went there in person.

But this is not the question that he needs to think about now. Ian shook his head and ended his meditation: "Let's go, Xio. Take me back to the Holy Mountain of Steel."

"We need to prepare to end the source of this unrest."

[Hmm] Xio also responded softly.

Then, many mountain people at the mouth of the gorge were surprised to see a silver-red arc of light rising straight into the sky and disappearing from their sight.

…

The Land of Flying Flames, the lands of the Absalom bloodline.

Desolate sea land, the main hall of the royal city.

"Get up, I don't blame you."

The King of the Wild Sea, Pala Xia, wore a purple-red robe and sat on a throne made of silver coral. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the courtiers in front of him who knelt down and saluted him.

Holding a letter in his hand, he said slowly: "I had expected the failure of the special forces team, but I never imagined that the defeat would be so tragic."

The minister on the ground swallowed slightly - the engineering team was completely wiped out, and the paper intelligence compiled by the base was also affected by the explosion... If most of the intelligence had not been transmitted back before, Naimo was indeed guilty of a capital crime, and he would have to take the blame and resign, or even tortured.

"You have worked hard too."

But this generation of King Arakai had a good temper. He put down the apology report and tapped the armrest with his fingers, showing no signs of being angry because of his failure.

The king with light purple hair and dark red eyes lowered his eyes and said calmly: "But what exactly happened? Everything was going well in the past, so why are you suddenly losing ground in the past few months?"

"Your Majesty, maybe we have fallen into the trap of the Empire from the beginning..."

The minister in charge of intelligence work tried his best to make his words as smooth as possible: "The failure during this period of time... should be when the plan progressed to the last step, the empire activated their undercover agents, and they arranged many people among the Nanling mountain people. Detective, we are falling behind in the intelligence war, and even the existence of the Construct Knight has been leaked."

"This is not a big problem. They don't have the strength to deal with it when they find it. Okay, stand up."

King Huanghai said calmly, looking at the minister who stood up slowly: "What I mean is that our blood cannot be shed in vain. Since the plan failed, then we should try our best to recover the losses - or inflict greater losses on the enemy."

"What to do next is up to you." He ordered.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

King Huanghai watched the minister leave the palace. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"How could the King of the Mountain try so hard to help the empire? I thought he would just be perfunctory at best and act out a show with Apaosa (Steel Winged Dragon King). After all, Apaosa has always been very restrained and did not really invade his territory. Territory..." He said to himself: "In the past, Dragon Island's neutral stance could restrain the real dragon's actions, but now, the Mountain King actually doesn't care at all..."

"These new generations of true dragons are becoming more and more integrated into our world."

Thinking of this, King Huanghai shook his head slightly and stood up: "The latest generation of true dragons may no longer be able to maintain their original stance. Instead, they will choose to join the country they like... or even establish an independent country. ."

There were already signs of this happening.

The Void Orbital Dragon Island was formed by the third-generation true dragons and a few second-generation true dragons. When all the second-generation true dragons passed away and there were only four dragon kings left in the third-generation true dragons, the fourth-generation true dragons gradually became somewhat The momentum of relative independence... In the final analysis, it is completely impossible to expect true cooperation between real dragons.

And the King of the Mountain chose the Empire.

This is not a big problem... Nanling is just a casual move. It's good to be able to play a role, but it doesn't hurt if it can't.

After all, the real battlefield is in the northwest.

…

At the end of Terra 773, the situation in the southwestern part of the continent was turbulent. The Empire's Nanling and Grand Duke Thorin's domain, and the Feiyan Land's Huanghai, Tianhong, Qingting, and Yanli were all overtaking each other. The war suffered heavy losses. Since this silent confrontation, the people of the two countries have only suffered from high unemployment, a large number of chambers of commerce went bankrupt, and small workshops closed down. Cruel biological warfare has led to food shortages, material shortages, and various This kind of strict counter-revolutionary campaign made people miserable.

But with the destruction of the Feiyan Special Operations Brigade base in Nanling, at least around the Baisen Mountains, the struggle between the two sides has come to an end.

So goes the theory.

Following the real-name report from the 'enthusiastic mountain people', Chief Aure of Rong Gang, the empire finally learned that some mountain people with evil intentions actually surrendered to Feiyandi and helped them introduce Feiyandi's people. The elite force "Constructed Knights" entered the empire.

As soon as this incident came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

Nauman City, the capital of Nanling, officially announced that it had entered a state of all-out war. The Cangyun Knights, one of the ten largest knights in the empire stationed on the east side of the Baisen Mountains, also immediately dispatched three titled knights.

At the same time, a fierce air battle broke out around the Absalom Mountain Fortress where the two sides were confronting each other. Both sides lost several aerial armors.

Total war is imminent.

For a time, the situation in the Nanling area became confusing again. The dragons were rioting, and reinforcements from the Cangyun Knights were about to arrive. Although the mountain people were suppressed, their hearts were floating. Before the regular troops of the Nineteenth Legion were officially dispatched, lurking The construct knight deep in the mountains has been activated.

And their target is the holy land of the mountain people, the Holy Mountain of Steel guarded by the Afud tribe, the pillar of the empire's mountain people.

At this moment, Ian and Elder Manya have arrived at the Holy Mountain.

Under the command of Elder Manya and the arrangement of Ian, the Avod tribe and other mountain people who came to worship the fire were mobilized and began to build the "Thunder Calling Tower".

If you just stupidly announce that you are going to build a defense tower on the top of the Holy Mountain to prevent the raids of the Construct Knights, then there will be many people in the Avod tribe who will oppose it, let alone other mountain people. How sacred can it be desecrated by something like a defensive tower?

Of course, Ian is not that stupid. The first thing he did when he came to the Avod tribe was to trumpet his victory. With the help of Cord's head, the already enthusiastic atmosphere of the Avod tribe suddenly became even higher. Keep cheering for the name of Ian and Manya.

Next, Ian struck while the iron was hot and announced that he had received revelation from the Dragon God at the Steel Dragon's Lair. He would build a high tower as a symbol of the new era for the mountain people and punish all invading enemies with thunder.

At that time, the white-haired boy stood on the top of the holy mountain, with his back leaning on the sacrificial fire, and the real dragon standing behind him. The messenger of the Dragon God prophesied to all the mountain people who believed in him:

[When the phantom moon is obscured, when the night takes away the light, when the rusty sanctuary once again faces threats from far away mountains]

[The wrath of heaven can come down in an instant and wash away all the mottled rust]

There are two translation methods for this prophecy. One is the traditional prophetic poem of Terra, which is divided into fourteen lines and filled with many inexplicable and dream-like descriptions with no logic but very magnificent descriptions. Not only does it sound very literary, but it is also very popular. Beloved by the people of Terra.

The other is just plain old talk: the enemy will attack late at night on a cloudy day, and then be struck to death by lightning using our newly built defense tower.

The apocalypse was predicted to be yes.

All in all, after Ian's prediction, all the mountain people cheered - all the senior officials knew that Ian was not a prophet, but how could ordinary people tell the difference? They thought it was not surprising that the Dragon God Messenger was a prophet, not to mention that Ian was really a prophet.

Moreover, they had no idea that the tower built by Ian was a super giant magnetic storm coil. They thought it was a meditation tower that Ian used to borrow the east wind to predict the future... This kind of thing is common in various stories and legends. Similar to the elf beauty that the bard said would throw herself into the arms of the brave, it is a plot that the people like to see.

Every high priest, holy messenger and prophet needs a tower of his own!

If we were in the information age, Ian's actions and predictions would probably be exposed soon, but who said that not many mountain people have read books? Their understanding of the outside world comes from the boasts and various stories and legends in the caravans, and the bards are naturally among them.

Ian's predictions are not only not exaggerated, they are even very down-to-earth.

With this prophecy, the work efficiency of the mountain people was greatly improved. Although they vaguely knew that a powerful enemy would invade Qiangang Holy Mountain, they were inspired by the background of the great victory, Ian's prophecy, and the high sense of honor of guarding the Holy Mountain. Next, not only were they not afraid, but they also swore to the Holy Mountain one by one that they would definitely defend the Holy Land and never let down the glory of their ancestors and the Dragon God.

Especially the mountain workers who were responsible for assembling the super giant magnetic storm coils were actually able to go to the vicinity of the sacrificial fire and bathe in the light of the sacrificial fire at close range - God knows what an honor it was. Basically, several small tribes were competing to do it. The chief even took the initiative to find Ian and Elder Manya, expressing his willingness to work as porters and asking Ian to allow them to process the parts of the tower themselves.

Naturally, there is no reason to refuse. One sublime can do more than one or two hundred ordinary mountain people.

When assembling a tower with a simple structure in Terra, it mainly depends on whether there are raw materials. If there are raw materials, everything is really easy to say.

It just so happens that the mountain people lack everything except all kinds of metal minerals.

After hearing that this was to guard the holy mountain, many tribes directly took out the supplies they had packed at the bottom of the box... Of course, if you have to say that this is faith, it would not be wrong, but faith coupled with the third level of cliff, The third-level Xio and the head of Chief Cord...

That would be very pious and unspeakably loyal.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the giant magnetic storm tower is rapidly taking shape. Nearly ten sublimators personally worked under the command of Ian, transporting the parts of the magnetic storm generator transported from Xiahui Ling and processing various raw materials.

If you want to work, you have to have a way. I don’t know how many mountain people have shown their skills to Ian in order to go to the top of the holy mountain and work close by the sacrificial fire. Some of them can even process micron-level products with two hands. The old priest of precision parts.

This old priest used to be a sculptor, and he has been good at hammering and hammering these metal and stone objects all his life. In his opinion, there is no difference between carving parts for himself as an ascendant and carving a statue of the Dragon God, and the former is even simpler.

Ian was greatly moved and recorded all these people in the 'Talent Memo' in the silver chip - there are really masters among the people.

"It seems that I still have a bit of inertial thinking." Ian reflected on himself: "Terra is different from the earth. There are few folk masters on the earth, but in this place of Terra, God knows where there are the legacies of pre-era civilizations. Mountains Maybe every small village in the world can share the experience of controllable nuclear fusion."

In fact, aren’t mountain people just small villages in the mountains? They can even share the technology of the sky-dropping spaceship with Ian!

Soon, as the day and night passed, the clouds covered the sunset, and the night sky took away all the light, Ian's prophecies were coming true one by one.

At the top of the holy mountain, a towering dark shadow has erected above the sacrificial fire.

The main body of the super giant magnetic storm coil has been built. Although some key parts are exposed, this is not a problem.

And in the mountains not far away, vast amounts of smoke and dust were raised.

Just as the prophecy said - the enemy from the distant mountains, the Constructed Knights of the Flying Flame Land, has arrived.

Next it’s time for the Overturned Tower!

Damn it, why is there still no chapter?
