Aurora Continent, Storm Plains.
The Third Heavy Knights of the Azure Lion Kingdom are arrayed in their classic wedge-shaped charge formation.
Three thousand elite knights, clad in heavy plate armor and wielding four-meter-long lances, rode tall, armored warhorses, forming a steel torrent.
A kilometer away from them.
The mage corps of the Winter Empire has finished chanting.
Hundreds of mages dressed in gray robes raised their staffs inlaid with magic cores, and hundreds of huge fireballs burning with raging flames condensed in mid-air.
"For the glory of winter! Release!"
The commander of the mage group swung his staff down abruptly.
Fireballs rained down on the charging knights, trailing billowing black smoke like a meteor shower.
The battlefield was filled with the neighing of warhorses, the clanging of armor, and the roar of magic explosions.
Just as the two sides were about to clash,
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky.
There were no magical fluctuations, nor any signs of a summoning circle.
A colossal object, fifteen meters long and covered entirely in matte black composite armor, crashed straight down from the clouds with a deafening sonic boom.
The target was right there—the forward positions of the Winter Empire's mage corps.
"What is that?!" The mage commander looked up, his face filled with horror.
Meteorite?
No, meteorites don't have such regular geometric armor shapes, and they certainly don't have those two frighteningly thick metal tubes!
Boom! ...
The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.
The heavily armored fortress slammed into the mud with an unreasonable force.
The enormous kinetic energy instantly created a mudslide tens of meters high.
The nearest dozens of mages didn't even have time to scream before their internal organs were shattered by the shockwave, and they were sent flying like rag dolls.
The ground was smashed into a terrifying crater nearly 100 meters in diameter.
The once orderly formation of the mage group was instantly torn open with a huge gap.
Even the Lion Knights, who were charging in the distance, were so frightened that they yanked on their reins, causing their horses to rear up and their formation to fall into disarray.
Bottom of the deep pit.
A thick plume of black exhaust gas spewed from the exhaust pipe of the heavily armored fortress.
Inside the train carriage.
Jiang Ming rubbed his neck, which was sore from the shock, and unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Marlow, what's the damage to the tanks?"
Marlowe tapped rapidly on the control panel: "Boss, the chassis armor is slightly dented, but [Immortal Regeneration] has begun repairs. The engine is fully cooled and ready to start."
"Ming-ge, those guys outside are dressed pretty retro-style." Chen Qi leaned closer to the observation window, looking at the gray-robed mages outside, who were completely dazed from the explosion. "Are they filming Lord of the Rings?"
Jiang Ming pulled up the system panel and randomly locked onto a mage who was crawling on the ground.
[Beginner Fire Mage of the Winter Empire (Lv.18)]
Danger level: Extremely low
[Specialties: Fireball, Fire Resistance Ring.]
Then look at those people on horseback in the distance.
【Heavy Knight of the Azure Lion Kingdom (Lv.20)】
[Danger Level: Low]
[Characteristics: Charge, Resilience.]
Jiang Ming grinned.
The indigenous people of the teens and twenties.
Just now, I was overwhelmed by level 50 lords and Abyss Guards underground, but now that the map has changed, it's like I'm on vacation.
"Outsiders! Those are steel monsters sent by the Abyss!"
At the edge of the pit, the mage commander finally realized what was happening.
He raised the staff in his hand, its tip inlaid with a ruby, and roared at the top of his lungs, "All mages, focus fire on that iron lump! Use the third-tier spell 'Exploding Lava'!"
The remaining hundred or so mages quickly regrouped.
The fire element in the air began to gather wildly, and the temperature rose sharply.
Dozens of thick, dark red magma columns descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto the roof of the heavily armored fortress.
boom! boom! boom!
The lava exploded on the surface of the tank, turning into a rain of fire.
"Boss, they're attacking us!" Marlowe exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"I'm not blind." Jiang Ming leaned back in his chair, looking at the shield durability on the holographic screen, which hadn't dropped even 1%.
These low-level spells can't even break through the basic magic resistance of [Phantom Adaptive Optical Camouflage Armor], let alone trigger [Poison Reflection Armor].
It's almost like polishing a tank.
"Chen Qi." Jiang Ming tapped the armrest with his fingers. "It is impolite not to reciprocate."
"Alright!" Chen Qi gripped the weapon control lever, his thumb pressing the red fire button. "Let these bumpkins see what real firepower is!"
On top of the vehicle, the twin-mounted 30mm psionic armor-piercing chain guns slowly rotated their muzzles.
A deep blue light rapidly accumulated energy inside the cannon barrel.
The commander of the mage corps outside looked at the two metal pipes that were turning around, and a sudden, extremely dangerous intuition rose in his heart.
"Activate the combined shield! Quickly!"
Hundreds of mages cast spells simultaneously, and a huge, translucent, light blue magical shield rose in front of the position.
This is the signature defense of the Winter Empire's mage corps, said to be able to withstand the breath of a subspecies of wyvern.
next second.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—! ! !
The chain guns opened fire.
A deafening tearing sound echoed throughout the Storm Plains.
There was no stalemate, and no energy was neutralized.
The combined shield, which was said to be able to withstand the breath of a subspecies of flying dragons, shattered instantly upon contact with the psionic armor-piercing projectile, like glass struck by a hammer.
"No--!"
The commander's desperate roar was completely drowned out by the sound of artillery fire.
What does it mean when a 30mm armor-piercing projectile hits a human body?
It scratches easily and shatters easily.
Puffs of blood mist exploded in the mage's territory.
Limbs and debris mixed with mud were hurled into the air.
In just ten seconds.
Chen Qi emptied a magazine.
The gunfire stopped.
The position that was originally occupied by hundreds of elite mages has now been turned into a bloody, mangled mess of mud.
They couldn't even find a complete body.
The entire Azure Lion Knights in the distance were petrified.
The three thousand heavily armored knights were completely silent, except for the restless snorting of their warhorses.
As they watched the black, steel behemoth slowly emerge from the pit, their hands gripping their lances trembled.
An entire organized mage squad can be wiped out in ten seconds?
What level of alchemical creation is this?!
Inside the tank.
The system notification sound kept ringing.
Although these mages are low-level and have little experience, their sheer number makes up for it.
Jiang Ming casually turned off the kill notification.
He's already level 30, so killing these low-level monsters isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
"Ming-ge, these guys are too weak, it's no fun." Chen Qi released the joystick and pursed his lips.
"Don't worry, the big truck is coming up."
Jiang Ming pointed to the radar screen.
Deep within the Winter Empire's territory, a crimson-purple light was flashing intensely.
As this point of light appeared, the sky over the entire Storm Plains suddenly darkened.
Large swaths of dark clouds gathered, and thick, purple lightning bolts could be faintly seen flashing through the clouds.
An extremely violent energy surge was rising from the enemy camp.
"Boss, the energy reaction has surged! This commotion... it's at least a level 40 elite monster!" Marlowe stared at the instrument panel and swallowed hard.
Jiang Ming pushed open the hatch on top of the tank and leaned half his body out.
The wind whipped his black hair.
He squinted and looked at the distant horizon.
There, an old man dressed in a magnificent purple robe was floating in mid-air.
The old man held up a two-meter-long withered wooden staff.
At the top of the staff was a fist-sized crystal core burning with purple lightning.
As the old man chanted, a giant two-headed serpent, over thirty meters long and entirely composed of lightning elements, slowly took shape in the clouds.
