House Witch

Chapter 1012 1011. A stillborn monster attacks

[In the 40th year of the Mechanical Calendar, through the efforts of the monks of the Mechanicum, the newly born Winter Empire spent its first ten years smoothly. The tribes gradually merged because of their common beliefs, and the power of steam machinery also came into play. Thousands of households, the era of big machinery has arrived. 】

The towering torrent of steam swallowed the coal and spit out white smoke. The scorching high temperature melted the frozen soil in the north and brought warmth to every citizen of the empire through the crisscrossing pipes.

In various greenhouse farmlands, farmers have learned mechanized farming under the guidance of mechanical monks, and many delicious crops that were unheard of in the past are grown on the frozen soil melted by steam.

On the smooth road that can accommodate more than a dozen carriages, in addition to traditional horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts and other animal-powered vehicles, novel steam locomotives also gradually appeared. These trendy car owners who are chasing the new era are enjoying the excitement of passers-by. Everyone was watching, and they couldn't help but admire the power of the machine.

Outside the city, workers are busy building railways. Even the biting cold wind cannot dampen the passion of the workers. Their strong bodies are steaming hot in the low temperature, but when the steam car plays the whistle, As they passed by like a giant dragon, looking at the back of the steel beast that was gradually retreating, the workers showed proud smiles.

In the barracks on the edge of the city, the mechanical monks were debugging the latest steam chariots and steam naval guns, while the soldiers holding steam firearms looked at these mighty new equipment curiously.

In the center of Winter City, next to the God's Descendance Square and opposite the majestic palace, a towering steel church stands here to spread the message from the great Lord of All Machines to every imperial citizen who is thirsty for mechanical power. Oracle of the goddess of moon and fire.

However, in today's steel church, there are a group of strangers who have traveled thousands of miles to come here.

They are not people from the north, but envoys from the southern countries.

In the distant past, the north was a symbol of poverty and barbarism, while the southern countries were the cradle of prosperity and civilization, but this inherent impression has now been broken.

All this is due to the efforts of the caravans sent by the Empress to the South. In the past ten years, those merchants have used the high-quality and cheap goods in the steam factory to severely impact the three views of these arrogant Southern guys. , the farms and ranches they were proud of in the past were completely vulnerable to the power of machinery.

However, there are still stubborn southerners who do not believe in evil, so the kind Empress allowed these people to come and visit. When these outsiders really braved the cold wind and blizzard to see this mechanical machine hidden under the endless wind and snow. After entering the country, their mouths never closed again, and they made all kinds of weird noises like groundhogs along the way.

Acat, who is now not only an imperial general, but also the bishop of the Mechanicum, looked at the shocked look of these southern nobles who seemed to have reshaped their world view, and she also smiled.

She knew that when these outsiders returned, the faith of the great Lord of All Machines would usher in a new round of expansion.

It's a pity that she is already old and doesn't know if she can wait for that day.

Acat, who is now in his fifties, thinks so.

Even though her knight body is very powerful and her abundant magic power makes her age very slowly, her once heroic face is beginning to have wrinkles carved by time.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but envy His Majesty's grace of eternal youth. Elsa was still at the peak of her thirty-year-old beauty after all these years.

But this is not a good thing. After all, that guy always likes to rely on his God-given youth to treat himself as a young man and work overtime. If he hadn't reminded him from time to time, he wouldn't have known how to rest.

However, she didn't know how many more years she could stay with His Majesty.

The bishop sighed, shook his head, and stopped thinking about these unsolvable things.

Moreover, at this moment, a young mechanical monk walked over quickly, with ecstasy on her face.

"My Lord Bishop, I succeeded. Electric energy can also be used as a new energy source to drive machinery."

So said young Miss Truss.

[In the 50th year of the Mechanical Calendar, under the power of the Winter Empire’s steel giant ships and chariots, everyone in the southern countries was in danger. They realized the power of the great Lord of All Machines, and rushed to voluntarily convert. The benevolent The Ice and Snow Empress accepted their conversion and shared this divine grace from the great goddess with the world. Mechanical colleges began to be established in various places. At the same time, electric energy also began to replace part of the use of steam and became a new energy source for machinery. Electric machinery began Gradually popularized. 】

[In the 60th year of the Mechanical Calendar, Isaac, the Meteor Sage, who was once the greatest magician in the southern countries, proposed the theory of gravity under the guidance of the Lord of All Machines, and innovatively proposed the anti-gravity formula. Mechanical technicians began to use this as their basis. The basis is to design a great machine that conquers the sky. 】

[In the 70th year of the mechanical calendar, the Winter City took off, and the idea of ​​the floating city was perfectly realized. This epoch-making great spectacle is proof that mankind has conquered the sky. Various types of sky warships began to be designed and built. 】

[In the 80th year of the mechanical calendar, the quantum philosopher Miss Albert Eistein proposed quantum theory. As a mortal, she stole the power of the Sun God. The great power called nuclear energy became a new energy source to drive machinery. Human beings no longer need Worried about energy, the Cult of Mechanicus ushered in a new era. 】

[In the 90th year of the mechanical calendar, under the leadership of the great empress and pioneer bishop Acter, the technology of prosthetic body transformation gradually matured. The old pioneer bishop volunteered to dedicate himself to the advancement of science and technology with fearless courage. She was the first to accept After her whole body was transformed into a prosthetic body, she was reborn and became the first prosthetic person. 】

[In the 100th year of mechanical history, the Institute of Prosthetic Engineering has made a new breakthrough in the field of human brain simulation. The Consciousness Difference Engine has come out, and the wonder building Hades Difference Engine has begun to be built. Since then, the era of flesh and blood and mechanical ascension has arrived. 】

At the same time, on an isolated ocean island in the south, a giant beast let out a roar that shook the sky.

"It's done, I've finally done it. This puts me to perfect use. It only takes a few hundred years for the dragon cubs to enter adolescence early. It's time to come out."

The consciousness of the Yanshan Dragon Witch looked at the dozens of majestic dragons that were hundreds of meters long on the dragon island, and she was ecstatic in her heart.

Well, out of respect for her idol, Teacher Guigu Zhuge, as well as the aggrievedness of being despised by the teacher before, and a little bit of luck, she can be said to have performed beyond her level.

The training time that was originally expected to take 150 years was advanced by a full 50 years. In just one hundred years, she had successfully created such an almost unstoppable dragon army.

"Hmph, who else, who else can stop me, I am so powerful now."

Estelle thought with great joy.

She feels that she has a great advantage now. She said before that Teacher Gui Gu would vote fifteen times, but now she has revised it to ten votes.

Well, defeat the idol and surpass the military god. Today, Teacher Guigu, please repent for your arrogance.

"Army attack."

At that moment, she issued her eleventh instruction,

So, the young dragons, who had been trapped on Dragon Island for hundreds of years and could no longer bear it, roared in unison, and then spread their wings and soared.

But even after regaining their freedom, these giant dragons did not run around like undisciplined beasts. They all looked at the most majestic dragon at the head.

Destroy Dragon King Obister, the leader of the dragons.

Similarly, he is also the strongest hero that Estil has cultivated over the years of playing war chess, and is rated SSR.

This is a giant dragon with both wisdom and strength. At the same time, he has been working with Estelle for many years, and there has long been a tacit understanding between master and servant.

Therefore, although due to the rules of war chess, Estelle can only issue one command per round, but Obister will help her with many things that she cannot explain, such as training these dragon cubs and letting them understand discipline. , know how to cooperate, know how to help each other, etc.

Therefore, what came out of the cage at this moment was not a group of lazy dragons at all, but an army of well-trained dragons.

I'm not afraid that the dragon knows martial arts, but I'm afraid that the dragon knows how to cooperate.

A surprise attack by a well-disciplined and well-coordinated dragon army is enough to make most enemies despair.

At this moment, such a scourge army is about to announce their existence to the world.

only

The giant dragons flying in the sky did not realize that in the sky above their heads, many giant steel eyes had been suspended there for many years, and the actions of the dragons at this moment naturally did not escape the gaze of these eyes in the sky.

Therefore, the moment the dragons left the island, the piercing siren sounded on the southern coast.

"Everyone is on alert. Operation Behemoth is about to begin. Go and inform the bishops and the great empress."

On the continuous coastline, various military bases began to float in the air, gradually entering a state of war readiness.

In those military bases, the soldiers who had been preparing for this for many years quickly entered their respective mecha cockpits one by one, and the super-giant mechanical weapons that were also hundreds of meters high began to activate.

At the same time, the cyborg veterans who were originally sleeping in the dormant warehouse were also awakened. They began to wear special mechanical armor and were equipped with specialized dragon-slaying chain swords and bolt guns.

Not far away, magic-equipped troops with magical talents also began to gather. They began to use magic to activate drones and floating cannons.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is that in these floating bases, countless holes spread out, and thick and long dragon cannons protrude from them. The electromagnetic coil in the barrel begins to self-check, emitting a faint blue light.

And with the convenience of the Internet, the news of the start of Operation Behemoth was immediately transmitted to the Palace of Winter City and delivered to the hands of the Ice Queen Elsa.

She looked at the news, then walked out of the palace and came to the Mechanical Church opposite.

She is both the empress and the pope.

"My Lady Goddess, the divine enemy you mentioned has already started taking action. How should we deal with it?"

Elsa stood under the statue and prayed like this.

And soon, the statue gave off a hazy light, and a slightly confused voice came from it.

"Hey, divine enemy? What divine enemy?"

The goddess seemed a little confused about the situation.

However, Dorothy soon came to her senses.

"Here, I forgot this was a battle game. I thought it was a business simulation game."

The house witch finally came back to her senses from her future plans for the winter world, and she was quite unfinished about this.

After all, this is only ten rounds, only ten minutes have passed, and there are still twenty minutes left before the agreed half hour. Are you ready for a showdown?

Miss Estelle is really impatient.

but

"Elsa, don't you already have the answer to how to deal with it?"

She did not directly answer the believer's question, but said so.

The Ice Queen also smiled.

"Then as you wish."

The flying speed of the dragon is still worthy of recognition, so in just half an hour, the dragon army has crossed the vast ocean and arrived at the southern coastline.

Then

"Damn, what the hell is this? Am I under an illusion? Or is there a loophole in the chessboard rules?"

Her eyes followed the dragon group and witnessed the "heavenly net" that had been set up on the coastline. Looking at the overwhelming fleet and dense airships, Estel was directly confused.

She should have only played ten rounds, right? This should not be the kind of late game that has been played for hundreds of rounds, right?

So, this is the lineup that should appear in the tenth round?

The Rock Mountain Dragon Demon woman was dumbfounded. She really felt like she was in a trance.

No, she would not dare to be so exaggerated even in her dreams.

The dragon group that was originally still vigorous and high-spirited was also directly withered at this time, and they let out a terrified dragon roar.

"Sorry to bother you, we are in the wrong place."

The ferocious dragon face of the leader, Obiste, actually smiled flatteringly at this time. It even stopped roaring and spoke in human language.

Although they didn't know the floating warships on the opposite side, and they didn't know what power these iron lumps had, the instinct of the beasts was already alerting wildly at this moment.

If you don't run, you will die.

However, as a wise dragon, Obiste knew better that if you dare to run now, you will really die.

So, it can only stay in place awkwardly, neither advancing nor retreating.

However, it is obvious that not all dragons are as wise as it. Even after training, you can't really expect much discipline from dragons.

When there was no threat before, this group of dragons could still obey Obiste's leadership, but now facing the threat of death, and Obiste, the leader, is actually flattering the enemy, the dragon group suddenly became restless.

At least six or seven dragons began to fly around in panic.

So, the next moment, thunder roared through the world.

Blue lightning flashed, that was the roar of the dragon cannon.

Then, there was the wailing of the dragons.

The dragons that tried to escape fell from the sky powerlessly at this time.

However, the dragons' vitality was indeed tenacious. Even if they were hit by these electromagnetic cannons head-on, most of them were only seriously injured, and the dragon cannons seemed to be aimed at the dragon wings, so at this time they were just unable to fly again, but they did not die directly.

And there was still the sea below them.

As perfect creatures, dragons are amphibious species on land, sea and air. Since they can't fly in a short time, they will dive, and hiding in the sea will greatly reduce the threat of those terrible cannons.

However, the next moment, dozens of huge mechas were ejected from the floating base. These mechas opened their wings-like jet flight devices and then plunged into the sea.

Soon, the wailing of dragons came from the sea again.

Soon, the tall mechas surfaced again, and in their mechanical arms were huge dragons with bruised faces and noses.

Estelle: “.”

The witch was silent.
