The sound of explosions caused by the friction between flames and air was heard. The burning wall of fire blocked all the shrapnel ejected from the boiler explosion, leaving Famas and Hutao behind without any harm.
Only the rising steam and smoke blurred their vision.
In the hazy smoke, a bright light refracted out, and the violent explosion tipped the statue, which was already unstable, and the spear tip of the statue crashed into the wall, breaking a large hole in the red brick wall, revealing what was buried inside. .
A large number of completely rusted weapons and armor.
The only thing that was relatively intact was a black flag gun that could not be seen as it was. The tassel was replaced by a dark red flag.
But after a long period of wear and tear, the pattern on the flag has become indistinguishable.
"This gun... seems to be the weapon of that uncle named Vikas?"
When the dust cleared, Hu Tao's little face was stained with red. He stretched out his fingers to hold the brim of his hat, carefully got out of Famas's arms, and curiously touched the flag gun that was thrown on the ground.
She had seen Vikas waving the flag gun with an arrogant look in previous battle scenes. Now that she saw this flag gun, she suddenly had a similar feeling.
"Tap tap tap..."
The moment Hu Tao's finger touched the flag gun, the sound of thousands of troops trampling came from outside the church, and even the dust on the floor began to shake.
The sound of horse hooves was accompanied by thousands of shouts, as if rushing out from the ground, shaking the house.
"Why is there such a sound in the Border Land?"
Hutao raised the staff of Humo vigilantly and looked at Famas with plum blossom eyes.
Since ancient times, the borderland has only accepted mortals who still have thoughts about the world. The spirits, various wild beasts and domestic animals in the mountains are not included in this list.
The boy in red was also slightly surprised, then frowned and walked out of the church with Hu Tao.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. As the highest place in the town, the church dedicated to the God of Fire had a panoramic view of the entire town.
The majestic iron cavalry is covered with shadows.
In the distance beyond Hu Tao's sight, an army of spirit beings galloping towards him covered the sky and the earth.
At the front of the team was Vikas, who had just exited. He was holding high a handsome flag whose pattern could no longer be seen clearly, sweeping away the billowing smoke and shouting for charge.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!!"
Then, more and more cavalrymen began to shout loudly, their voices were loud and shocking.
Vikas' figure disappeared in an instant, and a dazzling flame cut through the eternal dusky sky of the border land, and thousands of sparks fell one after another.
The grassland desert of Munata suddenly appeared in front of Hutao and Famas. The fields, villages, and deserts all took on a tragic and desolate color. Behind the cavalry was a huge castle and a cursed sky that became pitch black.
Outside the church, Famas stood in front of the railing, holding on to the decayed wooden handrail, looking up at the bright fire in the night sky.
He knew that this was caused by the dual effects of the memory of the earth's veins and the evil aura of the military formation. The border areas would also be changed by the power of the iron cavalry of the military formation.
The red mist transformed by the flames enveloped the entire sky, and the strong wind and smoke caused by the cavalry charge blew on Famas' cloak. The hunting dust and the young man's red hair complemented each other.
Hutao was so smoked that he couldn't see the scene in front of him. He could only turn his head towards Famas, but he saw the young man's straight and straight back and indifferent eyes. He was completely different from his usual cheerful appearance, more like a conductor. A general fighting in front of thousands of troops.
Behind the cavalry formation is a group of castles that are as bright as daylight, and further away are thousands of fireworks that are as dim as stars, like small stars in an endless Milky Way.
Famas let out a long breath, which blended with the dust in front of him.
When he was first born in the Teyvat continent, it happened to be the ancient era before the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms. Gods and demons were fighting in the wilderness, monsters were entrenched in the mountains and rivers, and the world was a sea of suffering.
The demons and gods in this world are constantly fighting. Famas, who was born from the lava, just wants to survive until the war is over, and then enjoy a good life on the peaceful continent of Teyvat.
So in the wilderness of the far west, a powerful demon god with a gentle attitude toward humans appeared.
More and more human exiles gathered together and spontaneously established the original Kingdom of Fire, Munata.
Famas, who enjoys human faith, also received a gift from the sky, a red heart of God like a chess piece.
And it was the message contained in this Heart of God that made Famas understand that even if he had the technology of touching the sky, he would be completely destroyed in a cycle.
Therefore, the seemingly heartless Famas took on the responsibility of protecting the residents here and teaching people how to use machinery and technology.
In the eyes of the Demon God, human life is small, fragile, and short-lived. It is like the Rock King Emperor during the Demon God War. Although he protects humans, he cannot understand the insignificance of humans, nor does he understand what kind of consciousness humans stand on. Be at his side and fight alongside him.
But Famas, who was once a human, fully understood the insignificance and fear of human beings in the war between demons and gods. It was precisely because of fear that human beings forged ahead and were willing to accept the knowledge and wisdom he gave. This striving and courage to face their own insignificance finally finally Let Munata become a country of war and resistance.
"The night is long, but there is always dawn. The dawn is far away, but there are still stars. The stars are weak, but thousands of them gather together, and they are finally brilliant."
"The flames will go out, but at least he leaves a spark of hope."
Famas muttered to himself.
When the charging army was about to march into the town, the sound of horse hooves gradually became fainter, and the scenery of the grassland and desert faded. The army wearing standard armor emerged from the smoke and dust. The leader Vikas pulled out his long sword, turned over and dismounted, and the once dazzling The armor was already covered in wounds.
"Munata Expeditionary Force, Second Heavy Armored Cavalry Corps, please see your Majesty."
The sturdy Vikas thrust his sword into the ground, put his left hand on his heart, and performed a knightly salute to Famas who was standing on the viewing platform of the church.
The cavalry led by Vikas loosened their reins and dismounted. The collision of armor and weapons could no longer be seen, making a clicking sound. The undead finally fell silent, and there were only lines on the field looking at Famas with fanatical gazes.
Munata has the most vast grasslands in the world and an unstoppable cavalry army.
"Famas, can you persuade them..."
Hutao opened his mouth, hoping that Famas would persuade the stranded Munata soldiers to go to the other side. However, he was shocked by the momentum of the undead army below. He swallowed the words that came to his lips, pursed his small mouth nervously, and looked at it with expectant eyes. To the boy in red who had not responded yet.
"They were born to fight."
Famas didn't even look at Hu Tao. He just raised his right hand and made it into a fist. He bowed his head and returned the greeting to Vikas and others.
“The enemy will not leave this world until they surrender.”
"They will burn all their souls in the flames of battle."
