Chapter 2: The Battle

On the battlefield in front of the city of Keshia, flames were blazing in the sky, with a loud bang, a huge ball of fire accompanied by a large amount of steel wreckage rushed up into the sky, in which there were also countless amounts of blood and flesh, charred limbs mixed with dirt splattered up, and splattered into the bodies of the heavy infantrymen who were lying down behind the wreckage of another magic statue.

　　"What a bunch of unlucky guys, actually stepping on the magic mines that specifically target demon statues." A soldier in heavy black armor holding a magic guide gun poked out from behind the wreckage and said as he looked at the six-legged siege demon statue that had been completely scrapped.

　　Randomly turning to the soldiers behind him, he said, "Inform the troops behind you to be careful, the Roland Dogs actually planted a large number of mines, tell the large troops to hurry up and send out earth magicians to clear them up!" "Impossible! Under this kind of firepower, unless one is a fifth rank magician, once they are set on fire, they won't even be able to hold out for five seconds!" At the same time, someone replied loudly.

　　"Damn! What should we do then, it's hard not to really go and fill it with magic statues!" The black-armored soldier cursed loudly.

　　"And what about the air fire support! Why hasn't it come yet!" That communication soldier shouted equally loudly, "Our air knights were intercepted by Roland's divine machine troops and were all wiped out, now the second batch of troops has taken off and will arrive in ten minutes!"

　　Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an extremely bright light, and he subconsciously shouted, "Danger!" Then he violently crossed out and tumbled onto the ground in a roll, when a red beam of light swept past their squad's position, and a terrifying heat swept over them, the black-armored warrior felt as if he was in a lava hell.

　　But he couldn't bother to catch his breath, and hurriedly looked up towards the original place, where the ground took on a dark red semi-molten state, and beside it, six or seven soldiers who were unable to dodge when they couldn't make it in time were transformed into blazing human torches, and immediately after that, the magical crystal ammunition on their bodies were detonated, completely wiping out any trace of them.

　　"F*ck! What bad luck!" He struggled to get up and crawled over to a few corpses that were still intact, ripping off the steel nameplates they had hung around their necks and hanging them around his own neck.

　　As for those who were swept by the fire-attribute magic guide beam, the nameplates had long since turned into an indistinguishable mass of iron slag, he didn't even look at them, just recited their names in his mind to make sure that he wouldn't forget them, and then he ran towards the large force pressing up behind him with a cat's back.

　　The quiet night sky was dotted with stars, countless stars in the vastness of the starry sky constituted the most meandering scenery, allowing countless people who looked up to be intoxicated by it.

　　"So the starry sky here is so beautiful! It's like it's in my hometown, Aura Town, as if I saw it with her on the last night before I went to join the army!"

　　The man thought this in his mind, when suddenly, a sharp pain pulled him back from his memories, and he realized that he was crushed under the tattered legs of a magical giant statue, and he didn't know where it had flown from, he pushed hard, but the giant statue didn't move at all.

　　The man covered his confused head and slowed down for a moment, remembering that he was passing a six-legged magic guide giant statue when a cannonball landed on top of it, and he was directly stunned by the huge shockwave. The man looked at the lower half of his body, where he was crushed under the giant statue, it had already been bloodied, but the strong physical quality of his second-stage fighting qi was still there to keep him from dying, but the man knew that he would not be able to escape from this fate.

　　Knowing that there was no hope of living, the man calmed down instead. He used his trembling hand to pull out a photo with blood stains, and then by the light of the fire, he once again looked at the picture that he had already seen countless times.

　　On top of the photo was a young girl sitting under a large, dense tree. The young girl's long soft blonde hair was pulled up high, wearing a colorful garland, and she was smiling at the person taking the picture.

　　At that moment, the man saw countless "meteors" passing through the sky, the man put the photo on his chest, looked at the meteors that were getting closer and closer and made a wish, "In my next life, I won't enlist in the army, I'll only guard you alone...". ..."

"Good! Accurately hit the target!" Looking at the row of huge fireballs rising up from more than ten kilometers away, an operator of Keshia City's magic-guided heavy artillery excitedly waved his hand vigorously and roared in excitement, and then he said to this topless loader, "Quickly, quickly, quickly! Don't give the Froth cubs a chance to catch their breath! Stop them outside the first line of defense!"

　　In the midst of a thousand meters of altitude, a crimson divine machine was suspended in mid-air, that was Kreia's divine machine - Crimson Warrior Hime. Next to it, there were six identical blue-white divine planes hovering behind him in a half-envelope shape, that was the Roland Empire's standardized divine plane, the Sky Blade.

　　This type of divine machine was the most advanced mass-produced divine machine that had been in service in the Roland Empire in the last five years, and it belonged to the most cutting-edge model of first-order divine machines.

　　On the other hand, Kleya's Crimson Wargirl was different, she wasn't a mass-produced divine machine, but an exclusive divine machine, belonging to the high end of the second-order divine machines.

　　Exclusive divine planes are customized to the individual, and are the most compatible with one's own fighting spirit, and with the investment of the military or the great families at all costs, making each divine plane have unique abilities and attributes.

　　And the most important point, the exclusive divine machine in the design time, in order to improve and upgrade in the future to leave enough redundancy, with the holder's cultivation continues to rise, the divine machine can also continue to modify and upgrade.

　　Clarea stood in the divine machine, constantly observing the situation in the battlefield through the detection equipment in the divine machine, the long hair that was originally tied up in a bundle had already spread out during the fight just now, and the long hair that should have been fiery red had already been dyed dark red by the blood of the enemy air knights, and the long hair that had originally been silky smooth and smooth was now as if it had been scalded by boiling water like a chicken's feather.

　　"Drip drip drip!" A piercing alarm sounded in the headset, and randomly the voice of the commanding officer came on. "The base's 'Eagle Eyes' observed an incoming Froh air force, which contains twenty Thunder Vulture Air Knights and ten Divine Machines, please have the second squad ready to block the attack, while the fourth squad will be heading to support with ten minutes."

　　Clarea frowned as she listened to the instructions coming from the command, they had just blocked an assault team consisting of four Divine Machines and fifteen Thunder Vulture Air Knights five minutes ago, and even had one person seriously injured who had to be pushed out of the battle, and this Fro Empire's air support had come too fast, hadn't it?

　　At this moment, Kleya heard the sound of a divine machine's magical propulsion coming from behind her, she turned her head back and saw an icy blue figure flying over, as the figure approached, Kleya felt an icy aura come over her.

　　It was an ice-blue divine machine with a body of ice-blue color, the nearly three-meter-high body was covered with magnificent patterns of cold ice and snowflakes, making the entire divine machine seem as if it was carved from a single block of cold ice, and under the starlight, the ice-blue body was refracted with a dreamy light, making this divine machine like an elf on the snowy plains of the extreme north, dreamy and beautiful, but underneath this beauty there was a icy cold and fatal danger.

　　"Irene! How did you come!" Kleya asked in surprise.

　　The person who came was a young girl of about sixteen or seventeen years of age, with a pair of big ice-blue eyes, as well as a head of long aqua-blue hair.

　　"Kleya! What kind of talk is that? I heard that your second squad was down by one, so I immediately came to provide support, and you don't even welcome me?" Erin spat her tongue at Kleya and said in a disgruntled manner.

　　"That's not what I meant, it's too dangerous here, you shouldn't be here right now" Kleya said with a frown.

　　The young girl put away her playful smile and said seriously, "Although I haven't joined the army yet, I'm a member of the Hales family, and even more so, a Divine Mechanic Knight, have you ever heard of a member of the Hales family being in the battlefield and not joining the fight!"

　　Ayrin paused and then said, "Although I haven't gotten the Ice Goddess for a long time, with the performance of the exclusive divine machine, it's not much of a problem to drag down a Nightmare or five or six Thunder Wyvern Knights from the opposite side."

　　Looking at the God Machine that shot out, Kleya's gaze slightly condensed, it was obviously an exclusive God Machine, and it was also a rare melee form. Immediately after that, nine more dark blue divine planes appeared in the sky, those were the standard divine planes of the Florentine Empire - "Nightmare".

　　The battle was about to start!

　　Kleya looked at the rapidly approaching black body and raised her left arm, a complex red magic formation appeared in front of the muzzle of the magic cannon mounted on her left arm, a random crimson beam flashed away, followed by two identical shots. The three zigzag-shaped magic guide rays completely blocked the black body's space to dodge.

　　As if it had anticipated this, the black god machine directly crossed its arms in front of it, and after dodging the first two rays, it directly rushed towards the third ray, blocking it with the extra magic guide shield loaded on the melee shaped god machine.

　　Immediately after that, the black god machine escaped from Kreia's lock in a weird route, and then the blood-colored moon blade stabbed straight at Kreia's throat.

　　At this instant again, a crimson colored longsword instantly popped out from the crimson wargirl's right arm, Kleya violently swept out a fan in front of her body, the longsword collided with the moon blade, bursting out a cloud of dazzling sparks, by using this force, Kleya flew backward sharply, getting out of the range of the other moon blade's attack.

　　Suddenly, the Black God Machine suddenly turned around, its twin blades slashing hatefully behind it, framing a pair of ice-blue military spikes, the four blades collided, erupting into a sharp metallic friction sound, the sparks from the impact illuminating the two men's faces.

　　Seeing that one blow missed, Erin's Ice Goddess's propellers snapped out, using the twin blades of the two men's clash as a pivot point, flipping out a perfect arc, and then the heel of the Ice Goddess's left leg flickered with blue light, and a sharp ice cone appeared, taking advantage of the tremendous speed generated by the body's flipping, and kicking at the back of the Black God Machine's head as if it was a tomahawk.

　　Feeling the deadly threat behind him, the Black God Machine knew that it was impossible to dodge, and could only use its fastest speed to deflect its head, while at the same time turning around and swinging its sword to cut off the ice pick, so as not to have its head directly pierced by the ice pick.

　　Although there was no more ice pick, that battle axe-like kick was still wrapped in terrifying might and ruthlessly smashed into his chest, directly smashing a huge dent out of his chest armor, the black machine body was obviously badly hurt and staggered backward.

　　Immediately after that, a red beam about the thickness of an arm shot out, that was Kleya who had just broken away from the battlefield. She had been storing up her strength, the power of this beam far exceeded the previous three, the black god machine's shield had not yet recovered, coupled with the body's trauma, this blow would cause him to lose a layer of skin even if he did not die.

　　However, just in the nick of time, a dark blue figure appeared in front of him, it was actually another exclusive mech, that god machine held two black short scythes in both hands, between the scythe blades there was a ghostly blue light flashing, between the scythe handles there was a black iron chain connection.

　　Only to see a strong light suddenly erupted from the two scythes, he threw the two scythes violently, colliding with the red rays that shot out, and both of them erupted in the air with a violent explosion.

　　Creeya saw the incoming person easily receive this strike, secretly alarmed, in front of her this too divine machine is obviously not a third-order divine machine, then that means that the divine machine pilot's fighting qi cultivation is likely to have reached the third-order or even stronger, this divine machine can not be allowed to appear in the battlefield, or else it will bring great pressure on the assistant troops.

　　Thinking of this, Keleia accelerated fiercely, like a shooting star rushing towards the heavily injured black divine machine that was withdrawing from the battlefield. Seeing this, Ayrin instantly understood her intentions, and then launched a fierce attack on it, forcing it to change direction and fly towards the vast desert in the distance of the Hailar Mountain Range.

　　The boundless desert was called "Fars" by the locals, meaning "desert abandoned by the goddess", because it was sandwiched between the two empires, and there was almost nothing valuable in it, except for some strange desert magical beasts and some hard trees, so the two countries had no interest in this bird. Therefore, the two countries had no interest in this shitless place, and the Fars Desert became a natural buffer line between the two countries.

　　Now, four divine planes chasing each other and attacking each other broke the tranquility of this place, and the huge sound waves generated when the divine planes skimmed through the air at low altitude even shocked some weak desert magical beasts into passing out alive. A ghostly blue cold aura slashed towards Kleya's neck, but it was immediately blocked by a cold ice shield.

　　"Sun thief! Your opponent is me!" Ayrin loudly provoked towards the dark blue organism. Although the Dark Blue Organism's target was Kreia, Ayrin's Ice Goddess's ability to make cold ice caused him great trouble, and he immediately decided to give up on chasing Kreia and turned his target towards Ayrin.

　　Without the interference of the dark blue divine machine, Keleia launched an even stronger attack on the black divine machine in front of her, wave after wave of fierce attacks continuously attacked the black divine machine in front of her, for a moment, the black divine machine's hands were in a flurry of confusion, and ripples continuously rose from its shield, dangerously close.

　　On the other hand, Irene's Ice Goddess continuously condensed a large amount of cold ice, resisting the scythes that seemed to be everywhere, because the scythes had chains on top of them, the scythes' flight trajectory was simply unpredictable, if it wasn't for the fact that the scythes weren't heavy weapons such as giant hammers and tomahawks, or else Irene would have long been unable to block them.

　　Suddenly, the dark blue divine machine stopped attacking, as if it sensed something, and looked towards the battlefield between Keleia and the black divine machine.

　　Only to see the magic guide cannon on Keleia's left arm firing directly against the black body's shield, the light blue shield suddenly flickered like a light bulb with poor contact, and then the auxiliary thruster behind the elbow of the crimson war heroine's right arm spewed out piercing flames of light, and her longsword stabbed at the chest of the black divine machine like a red lightning bolt.

　　Right at this moment, in a place more than ten kilometers away from the four people, the air there seemed to fluctuate as if it was a water wave, gradually forming a light blue film of light, and between the flashes of the film of light, a door that was about tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide was slowly appearing ...

　　Keleia's long sword ruthlessly penetrated the chest armor of the black god machine, together with the pilot inside, randomly Keleia twisted the long sword, the black god machine's power furnace together with the pilot's heart and lungs were destroyed together.

Seeing this, Ayrin immediately flew backward and retreated in the direction of Kleya.

　　Right at this moment, two light red rays shot towards Keleia almost in no particular order.

　　Having just finished a life-and-death fight, with their shields not yet restored and their vigilance at a low level, the two rays unquestionably struck right at Keleia, who was really panting slightly.

　　The divine machine's shield light flickered and was shattered, and then directly hit the magical guide propulsion array on the back of the divine machine, a burst of red light flashed, the propulsion array directly extinguished most of it, the crimson wargirl's figure shook for a while, and fell down nearly a hundred meters before stabilizing under the role of auxiliary thrusters.

　　Seeing this, that dark blue divine machine didn't care to tangle with Ayrin. A box suddenly opened on its shoulder, and three cold auras shot towards Ayrin at an extremely fast speed. Seeing the three dark weapons coming, Ayrin subconsciously maneuvered the Ice Goddess to create a thick wall of ice in front of her to block the attack, and the three streams of light erupted with intense flashes of light at the moment of touching.

　　The intense flash of light and the thick ice wall blocked Ayrin's vision, taking this opportunity, that dark blue god machine violently rushed towards Keleia, the short scythe in its hand fiercely chopped at Keleia's throat.

　　Hearing that death-like whistling sound, Keleia swung her sword and hurriedly drew a cross in front of her body, and at the same time, she hurriedly retreated backward. The short sickle collided with the red colored long sword, without the expected loud noise and sparks. The black short scythe actually hooked the long sword, another short scythe actually under the effect of the chain, drew a perfect arc, from the other side toward Kleya cross-cut over, the chain between the short scythe in the starlight illumination is like a crescent moon, but that crescent moon is not beautiful, but with a piercing cold.

　　Because of the damage to the crimson warjack's propulsion array, Craya was unable to dodge quickly, the short sickle heavily chopped into the crimson warjack's abdomen, the armor was penetrated, blood mixed with the armor's debris flew up, as if a demonic rose bloomed in the sky.

　　However, right at this moment, Erin arrived in her Ice Goddess, pulling the falling Red Wargirl, while at the same time condensing a large number of ice spears in the air, shooting them at the pursuing Dark Blue God Machine and the three Nightmares that were on their way.

　　Erin saw this moment and accelerated violently, retreating at full speed, and in a panic actually crashed headlong into the door that hadn't fully emerged ...
