Sword of Daybreaker

A Dragoon fighter jet left the upper deck of the Cold Star with a low buzzing sound, and the anti-gravity aircraft took a magical trajectory emitting light from high in the sky, and flew towards the distant violet coastline.

The footage captured by the Dragoon fighters in the air was transmitted to the command center of the Cold Star through the Magic Net terminal, and was clearly presented in front of Modil and Victoria.

Now, they could see the bare shore and the large tracts of primitive wilderness leading to the violet interior more clearly.

"The main urban area of ​​Prandtl, the southwest port area, and the northern intersection area have disappeared... There is a natural and continuous transition zone on the forest boundary, eliminating the possibility of manual intervention," the air scout's voice came from outside the screen, and it sounded With deep consternation and confusion, "Observing the topographic features that match the data records, we can confirm that this is indeed the original location of Prandall City..."

Maggie leaned forward slightly with her hands on the communication platform, and her tone was extremely serious, "Is there nothing man-made?"

"There are no man-made things," the scout's voice sounded, "and there are no traces of artificially modified terrain. It feels like no one has ever lived here since ancient times."

"Have you found the traces of the two missing operators?" Victoria said, standing beside Maggie. "They should leave a signal for help on the beach."

"I haven't noticed yet. The beach environment is very complicated. I need to get closer."

"Let's move over, hover over the beach, waiting for the landing team to support," Victoria nodded, then turned to look at another communication terminal, "Where is the landing team now?"

The voice of the landing team leader came from the Monet terminal, "We have arrived near the coastline and are looking for a safe landing route. There are too many reefs here, and the currents are extremely chaotic. The original port guidance facilities and sea markers have disappeared. "

Victoria sighed softly, "Proceed with caution. Immediately after landing, set up communication repeaters and search for a safe landing site. At the same time, search the entire coastline... Support troops will arrive soon."

When the communication was hung up, Victoria sighed and turned to look at Modil. "The entire coastal area has become a pristine zone. That city really seems to have never existed... I hope the two MIBs will do it." Don’t run into things like powerful monsters, that place is not the “civilized country” in our memory now.”

"They shouldn't have a problem," Modil stroked his beard. He slowly raised his head, looking through a window in the command center, looking at the Violet Island in the distance, "I care more about Violet now. The situation in other areas...Plandel City has disappeared. What about other cities that lost contact earlier than Plandel? City of a Thousand Towers, Palan Santo, Cold Sea City... If the vision spreads out from the center of the island , Then Prandall may just be the last area to disappear..."

"Are you saying that the entire Violet Kingdom has disappeared?" Victoria's expression was calm, making people unable to guess what emotions she was in at the moment. After a while, she shook her head, "If it were before today, if it hadn't been seen with her own eyes, If you didn’t say this...I can’t believe that this kind of thing would happen in the world. A whole kingdom just disappeared into the world like this...As the rational part of a mage, I still feel that this is not true."

"I am on the contrary to you. As a mage, I always believe that anything can happen in this world. When a phenomenon occurs and we can’t understand it, it’s not because the world has a problem, it’s just because the knowledge we understand is not enough. Many," Modil said cheerfully, "As an adventurer, I have seen too many weird things in my life."

Victoria thoughtfully, Maggie on the side glanced at a message just received by the Monet terminal, and said to Victoria, "The Coldwind and the Ice Cavalry have already set off from Northport. Take your order. A large amount of materials and a powerful communication station are accompanied by experienced steel rangers. They will later land and investigate in Rattle and Port Payne on the southwest coast of Violet."

"Very well," Victoria nodded slightly, and then reminded them again, "Remember to remind them that no matter what the situation in Rattle and Port Payne, they must return to the boat before the sun sets, at least on the first night of confirmation. Before the situation, no one could spend the night on the island, let alone go deep inland rashly."

"Yes."

The Violet Kingdom is not only a coastal city called Plantel. On this huge island, there are also several cities located on the southern coast and have established trade relations with Beigang in the past few years. Now these cities have been completely lost like Plantel. Although there is no clear evidence, everyone is speculating at this moment whether what happened in Prandall also happened elsewhere in Violet?

If the other two teams had the same vision in Rattle and Port Payne... then Modil's worries might come true.

The communication station was quiet for a while, and Victoria, Modil, and Maggie all fell into contemplation, until the magic net terminal next to it suddenly buzzed, and the landing team commander’s slightly excited voice came from it, interrupting it. Everyone’s thoughts, "Your Excellency Grand Archon! We have gone ashore and found the two missing military intelligence officers who are safe and sound!"

Victoria and Maggie glanced at each other subconsciously, and the latter nodded immediately, "I will personally lead the team to see the situation."

Modil hesitated for a moment, and then got up. "I'll go with them. I've been ‘fighting side by side’ with the two young people. I was in a hurry when we parted. At this time, there are things I want to confirm with them."

Listening to the words of the ancestors, Victoria suddenly became a little worried, "Will you have any problems in the past...? You saw the shadow dwellers in the mist of Prandall before. I suspect that the Violet Kingdom may have some kind of secret connection with Lady Night. You just arrived at Plantel in a dream last night, but now if you walk ashore in person, I’m afraid..."

"It is precisely because of the previous experience in the'Dream Wandering' that I feel that I need to go and see it myself," of course Modil knew what Victoria was worried about, but the old mage just smiled and his expression looked rather indifferent. "When the vision happened, even if I myself slept in the bedroom of Winterhold, my mind was still'drawn' into the thick fog of Prandall... Some force was guiding me here, and I couldn't hide from it. of.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. This vision is almost hidden from the whole world, but it makes me one of the witnesses. This seems to be a signal, a signal sent by Ms. Ye, and I learned from this No hostility was felt in the signal. And..."

Speaking of this, Modil paused abruptly and shrugged. "Also even without considering the above reasons,'curiosity' is driving me forward. I wandered in this world unconsciously for hundreds of years, always trapped in It’s impossible to make an inch in the mist, but now the exit in the mist seems to be right in front of my eyes...I want to solve this mystery, even if this is the last adventure in my life."

Victoria's always calm expression suddenly changed. She fixedly looked at her ancestor, and finally felt some unusual meaning from the other's always free and easy attitude.

It seems that since this morning, since he left the "dream state", the ancestor's mentality has undergone a certain change. He has converged the leisurely ease of these days and replaced it with a certain...drive to the unknown.

It seems... this great adventurer who has left a reputation in history has ended his short vacation and is ready for the next adventure.

"...I understand," Victoria finally nodded slowly after a moment of hesitation. "I will stay here and sit down. You and Maggie will be careful. After receiving the two missing officers, try not to continue to the depths of the island. Explore and be sure to return before sunset."

Modil waved his hand to indicate that he knew, then turned around and left the command center with Maggie.

On the deck of the Cold Star, the black-haired maid turned into a heavily armed dragonborn. As the huge wings spread, the steel wings draped on Maggie also glowed with a metallic glow in the sun. Listen The series of sounds of the mechanical device meshing and running and the humming from low to high during the charging of the magic unit, Modil, standing on the edge of the deck, couldn't help but sigh, "Although I have seen it many times... but I still have to In a word, this is really an incredible era."

"Before the time came, no one could have imagined that the world would become like this," Maggie dropped her head slightly, her fangs and teeth glowing coldly under the iron chin, "please come to my back Well, my flying speed is still much faster than the wizard's flying skills."

"Then I'm welcome." Modil nodded cheerfully, followed Maggie's hanging wings directly onto the other's broad back, and then the heavily armed black dragon jumped up from the deck. Behind Maggie were two Dragoon fighters that set sail together, and two landing speedboats that had just dropped from the side of the Cold Star.

This is the process of action set at the beginning. After the first unit successfully landed ashore and returned basic environmental parameters, this follow-up unit would carry various large-scale equipment and materials to respond, except for the search and rescue of two missing persons. , Their other task is to establish a temporary advancing camp on the "old site" of Plantar City, which has now been turned into a pristine coast, as a foothold for subsequent exploration.

Of course, for safety reasons, everyone still evacuates to the ship at night, at least for the first night.

In this way, the second exploratory force broke away from the giant steel ship floating on the sea, and marched towards the coastline not far away that once stood an ancient city, but has now turned into a primitive landform.

The high-altitude airflow was blocked by the protective barrier around the dragon, and the feeling of looking at the sea and the sky from the dragon's back was exhilarating. Modil grasped the steel wing component near Maggie's shoulder and neck, while observing the coast. Happily said, "I know, I actually rode a dragon hundreds of years ago. Although I don't remember it, there were records at that time..."

"Being caught in the paws of the dragon is not a ‘ride’, Mr. Modil." Maggie’s voice was low.

Modilton was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Do you know this?"

"I know Miss Melita Penia, and I often meet with her when I am in Cecil City."

"...Well, reasonable," Modil shrugged, and then he muttered, "According to the popular saying nowadays, do I count as a ‘community death’?"

Maggie thought about it carefully. She wanted to say that the person had a thick-skinned face, but she suddenly realized that the unreliable old man on her back was actually the ancestor of Victoria. It was inappropriate to say it, so she took it abruptly. I swallowed the words from my lips.

Modil didn't pay much attention to this topic, because at this time his attention had fallen on the shore.

The distance of four nautical miles is just a few **** for the dragonborn. Now they have reached the pristine and savage coast of Violet Island. An exploratory team, and two military intelligence officers standing with the exploratory team members.

Neither Sparrowbee nor Night Owl expected that the rescue force would come so soon. They didn't know that Modil "returned" to Winterhold after the dense fog dissipated, and they didn't expect that a steel battleship would come directly from Beigang on that day to meet them. In their original worst scenario, the news in the direction of Violet was cut off. It may take several days, or even ten days, for Beigang to send ships over. After all, this mysterious country of seclusion often has such traffic blockades. , And signal interference around the island often appears.

They are already mentally prepared to survive for ten days in this pristine wilderness under conditions of isolation, communication cut off, and no material reserves.

As a result, the reinforcements arrived before the first day was over...

The heavily armed steel ranger warriors by her side let the Sparrow bee a little relaxed from the nerves that had been tight yesterday. She looked at the big ship floating in place on the distant sea, and saw dragons, fighters and speedboats coming from. The boat set off and moved closer to the coast, and saw the black dragon at the forefront of the team agitating its wings. The first one approached the coast and landed smoothly on the gravel beach 100 meters away.

A familiar figure jumped off the dragon's back and landed slowly with a levitating technique.

It was an old-looking mage with a black soft hat on his head, a dark star robe, and a magic ball and a magic book hanging from his waist. He looked gentle, mysterious and powerful.

Both Sparrow Bee and Ye Xiao were stunned, and just as they were stunned, the old mage had already performed flying skills and came directly in front of the two military intelligence bureau officers. The young man who was fighting side by side (or running side by side) cheerfully said, "What? Doesn't you recognize me?"

"Mr. Modil? It's really you?!" Only then did Sparrow wake up, looking at the old man in front of him in surprise and some disbelief, and blurted out the words in his heart, "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you in your clothes... "

Modil "..."

"Coat! I mean coat!" Sparrow blushed in the next second, and waved her hands nervously and ashamed. "I mean you changed your pajamas to..."

"Why don't you say it...I know what you want to say." The old mage sighed, his face full of helplessness.

It is a big adventurer who is used to seeing the wind and waves. At this time, I can only sigh with emotion. Fortunately, I don't have the habit of sleeping naked...
