Chapter 619 - 392: Demon Uprising, Elven Silence, Continental Unification, Battle for the Royal City (Part 2)
Similar scenes continuously unfolded across the entire battlefield.
The ogre warriors, equipped with alchemy equipment, demonstrated destruction and mobility far beyond the ordinary.
At the same time, on the flank of the battlefield.
The alchemy golem legion dispatched from Dragon Fang Fortress officially arrived.
They were no longer the early models like the outdated Flesh Rippers or Steel Rippers.
The Rockbreaker-I type, a heavy array-breaking golem, resembled a moving miniature fortress.
Standing about five meters tall, its entire body was cast from dark iron, with sharp edges exuding a sense of power.
Its arms were not hands, but two massive siege hammers engaging in a repetitive pounding motion, with intricate oscillation runes engraved on the hammer surface.
Faced with the dense formation that the giants still attempted to maintain, the Rockbreaker Golems advanced with earth-shaking heavy steps.
They alternated their hammers, fiercely pounding on the frozen ground.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Each hammer strike induced violent tremors within a small range of the ground and visible circular shockwaves! The giants within the impact range were not only shaken off balance but also felt their internal organs churning, and their bones seemed on the verge of shattering.
Their proud and robust regenerative ability suffered significantly under this internal oscillation damage.
The Rockbreaker Golems, like relentless iron plows, forcefully carved bloody paths of death through the giant’s ranks.
The Fire Dragon Wrath-I model, a remote support golem, appeared more like autonomously moving steel turrets.
Compared to the Rockbreaker, it was sleeker in build, with its back mounted with a complex-structured, large-caliber heavy crossbow cannon. It fired not ordinary crossbow arrows but specially alchemically treated blast crossbow arrows.
The golem’s single eye flickered with a red glow, conducting complex ballistic calculations and target locking.
Whoosh—Boom!
Each crossbow arrow trailed a crimson tail flame, crossing hundreds of meters like a meteor, landing precisely in the area where the giant mages gathered, immediately exploding fiercely, causing massive kills instantaneously. The splattering black oil mixed with magic flames burned violently, forming impassable fire seas.
......
From the onset, the outcome of this war was destined.
Different types of alchemy golems and the ogre warriors armed to the teeth worked closely together, forming an efficient and lethal killing system. The giants of the Frostclaw Clan collided with bloodied heads and suffered a crippling defeat.
The formidable leader accompanying them was soon subdued, under the personal action of Blue Dragon Heryam and the siege of several elite golems.
Ultimately, the Frostclaw Clan was completely defeated.
The young Blue Dragon, assessing the situation, led his followers in a triumphant pursuit, capturing the remaining, combat-capable giants of the clan and integrating them into Dragon Fang Fortress.
After this battle, Heryam still remembered the core mission entrusted by the chief.
He insisted on primarily steady development and foundation consolidation.
Unless necessary, he would not easily initiate new conflicts.
As the years passed by, the Molten Iron Tribe gradually got on track in the territory of the Eternal Frost Tundra, like deep roots spread in the permafrost.
The Dragon Banner with the Molten Iron Tribe emblem flew proudly and flapped in the cold wind.
In the New Calendar year 305.
In the Border Area, the Abyssal Rift erupted in an unprecedentedly scaled and intense magical tide.
The stationed Centaur Elvira and Snake Woman Sword Saint Naris fought desperately, but eventually found it hard to manage.
Receiving a plea for help, Golden Dragon Nasha, who was observing the tribe operations in the Sel Wilderness, immediately returned to quell this magical tide.
However, following this incident, demon unrest originating from the Abyss became increasingly frequent.
The Molten Iron Tribe had to allocate more defenses to the Abyssal Rift.
Moreover, not just in the Border Area, but Abyssal Rifts of varying sizes began appearing worldwide.
Most rifts were rapidly eliminated by local forces before causing more damage, but a few successfully expanded, resulting in tragic disasters.
Even in the northeastern region of the Sel Wilderness, an Abyssal Rift emerged.
This rift was eventually suppressed and sealed by the peaks sculpted by the Mountain King.
Many intelligent creatures and organizations privately suspected that this global Abyssal transformation was linked to the increasingly aggressive Abyssal development plans of the Holden Human Empire in recent years.
However, due to fear of the empire’s power, no organization or country openly questioned or condemned it.
Even the Elf Empire Naoxir, which usually opposed the Holden Empire, unusually kept silent for unknown reasons.
In the New Calendar year 309, the Beastman Empire Kantuom, located on the Seresia Continent, achieved the unification of the continent.
The fervent beastmen were not content with this.
Singing ancient conquest-desiring war songs, they began extensive stone quarrying and logging, preparing to build a massive fleet capable of crossing the endless ocean, with an agenda that was clear.
However, known for their bravery, the Kantuom Empire’s alchemy and industry levels were relatively lagging.
In the short term, they posed no substantial threat to other continents.
In the New Calendar year 313, the protracted southern war finally reached a decisive moment.
After the Battle of Belton, the Lotheren Kingdom continued fighting but was gradually unable to sustain itself.
The Royalist Faction retreated step by step, while the Anti-King Faction, led by the Ripos Kingdom, advanced triumphantly, occupying more than half of Lotheren Kingdom’s territory.
