The griffin knight responsible for the live broadcast passed by from high in the sky, and there were fierce battles everywhere.
In the city of Songxiang County, the defenders led by Ron and Han Feibai learned about the arrival of Li Ran's reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they launched a fierce counterattack in the narrow streets.
The descendants of the Starwind Guild and the warriors of the Wolf Principality rushed out of the barricade without fear of death, and firmly dragged the main force of the rebels who were retreating northward tightly into the city.
On the river outside the city, every ballista salvo fired by the Starwind Fleet caused a roar that shook the earth.
The undead battle group led by Hart was marching feverishly. The Dark Knight and Shadow Lancer advanced hand in hand, like a bloodthirsty beast, rampaging at the rear of the rebels, tearing out countless mechanical fragments.
The decisive battle in Songxiang County has entered a fierce stage.
Jones, the rebel leader who stayed in the Chinese army's command camp, gradually calmed down after the initial panic.
He still believed that the rebels could win the war.
Although the main forces of the Machine Tribe, the Lingding City rebels and the Monster Hunter Guild were dragged into the city and would not be able to return for help for a while, the 60,000 Machine Tribe on the north bank of the river did not suffer a fatal blow.
As long as the mechanical army withstands the pressure and continues to advance and destroys the ballistas on the river, it can eliminate the biggest firepower point and maintain the overall military advantage.
Under the command of Jones, a part of the Mechanical Legion was separated to meet the surprise attack of the Undead Knights, while the remaining troops continued to attack the fleet on the river.
But Li Ran was already prepared for Jones's reaction.
Facing the approaching mechanical army, the Starwind Fleet did not retreat. Instead, it sailed upstream and slowly approached the shore.
Because, the fleet’s spacious cabin carried the Templar Corps led by Eureka.
The Lancers and Crusaders stood silently in the dark cabin.
A spearman looked through the gap in his visor, over the shoulders of his comrades, and through the narrow porthole saw the mechanical army rushing towards the river bank.
They are fully armed and ready to go.
After the fleet docked, Jamil on the flagship issued an order to open the cabin.
The cabin door slowly opened, revealing the majestic troops hidden in the cabin.
Thousands of spear guards quickly stepped out of the cabin with neat steps and formed a defensive line on the river bank.
The impact of the mechanical army followed closely.
The God-chosen warriors stood against the water with their spears in hand, forming a solid shield wall like a steel city wall to withstand the enemy's fierce attack on the fleet.
Behind them, the explosive ballista once again let out a thundering roar, setting off a violent surge of explosions in the black tide of the mechanical army.
After the fleet's defense line was stabilized, Eureka assembled elite Crusader swordsmen and Imperial crossbowmen to form an assault force and launched a counterattack toward the rebel central camp.
Jones looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy face.
As long as the rebels cannot destroy the fleet in a short period of time, the balance of victory will gradually slide towards the Wolf Principality.
But Li Ran doesn't mind putting a few more heavy weights on the scale.
"Woo——"
Another wave of attack horns came from the north.
Jones looked behind him in horror.
"Does the Lord of Starwind have other troops?"
Xu Zhilei and Yin Beisi walked onto the mound on the north side of the river bank.
The eyes of the president of the Black Knight Guild were full of anger. The images of Marquis Luke being beheaded by the Psychic Knight and the residents and warriors of Boulder City being massacred emerged one by one in front of his eyes, turning into endless anger.
More than 8,000 exiles from Boulder City were the first to appear on the mound. The northern barbarian warriors who had lost their country and family were wearing blood-stained leather armor and holding double-edged giant axes. They let out a soul-stirring war cry and charged towards the traitorous enemy. go.
Then came the Dark Elf raiding corps.
The green lizard cavalry jumped onto the mound, the tauren guards took long strides, and the underground trolls roared and rushed down the hillside.
Groups of shadows flashed past, and the stalkers led by Star Wind Shadow rushed into the scattered rear of the mechanical army's formation.
Finally, the slow-moving but numerous low-level undead troops made their final appearance. The skeleton soldiers were like a silver-white ocean, and the sky-wide rain of arrows created by the skeleton archers created a thick shadow above the mechanical army.
...
The only rebel leader, Jones Burne, stood alone in the center of the war storm.
Like a magic trick, the Lord of Star Wind sent out an entire fleet and tens of thousands of troops.
It was a scene Jones had never imagined.
This surprise force successfully penetrated into the rear of the rebels and surrounded the mechanical army on the north bank of the river.
Although from the overall perspective of the war, Jones still had an advantage in military strength.
However, the rebels' largest main force was dragged into fierce street fighting in the city and could not be used.
Anyone can see the war situation clearly at a glance.
To the south, an elite Templar force numbering in the tens of thousands broke through the encirclement and came against the tide. Their target was Jones in the Chinese camp.
In the north, the fanatical undead knights continue to march. The northern exiles, dark elves and skeleton warriors all over the mountains and plains seem to have come out of his deepest and darkest dream demon, and are advancing from behind the mechanical army.
Jones and the rebels on the north bank would be bombarded and hunted to death before the troops trapped in the city could return to support.
"The defeat has been decided..."
Jones sighed heavily.
He had imagined many ways of failure, but no matter what, he never imagined that it would be the situation today.
The rebel leader who was walking on a strange road looked around hopelessly.
After the Star Wind Lord's ambush appeared, the people who stayed at the Chinese army camp had fled in all directions.
Even Ao Xing, the president of the Monster Hunter Guild, was missing.
A shadow passed over his head, and a large number of griffins circled in the sky like a flock of scavenging crows.
The battle in the air came to an end. With the help of the Griffin Corps, the Lord of Starwind commanded the angels and dragons and demolished the three powerful mechanical dragons to pieces.
"it's all over."
The low and dark clouds could not hide Jones' deeper and darker heart.
The rebel leader stepped forward slowly.
He drew his sharp sword while calculating the little time he had left.
In the messy Chinese military camp, many tents were trampled by fleeing soldiers.
At this time, there was only one loyal knight from Lingding City following him.
The middle-aged knight had big beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked frightened and anxious. He rushed to Jones and begged loudly: "Lord Jones, their target is you, come with me and escape in the chaos! As long as you If you can survive, I believe that with the power of the mechanical clan, you will be able to make a comeback!"
Jones' sword hand tightened and unclenched.
He turned his head, revealing his semi-mechanically modified face, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I have been hiding in the dark for so many years. The Bourne family and Lingding City have been suppressed for too long. Now, I don’t want to hide anymore.”
"Now that I have raised the flag of rebellion, I will face my fate," his expression became firm: "I will never run away."
Seeing that the lord had made up his mind, the middle-aged knight stopped talking.
As a guard knight, all he can do is fulfill his duty.
The knight drew his sword and stood in front of Jones, looking at the approaching enemy with a livid face.
Suddenly, a burst of relieved laughter came from behind him.
The knight turned around in surprise.
Jones was looking up at the sky with his sword raised, glaring angrily at the Starwind Lord riding a dragon in the distance.
The wolf master family emblem engraved on his breastplate reflected the gray and cold skylight.
"Lord of Starwind, although you have won this war, no one can end me."
Immediately, the arrogant rebel leader put his sword on his shoulder and shouted in a chant-like tone:
"The Bourne family will be glorious for generations to come!"
In the horrified eyes of the knight, Jones swung his sword and killed himself.
The knight took a step forward and watched helplessly as blood spurted from his lord's mouth and nose, like an iron can stained with red rust, being smashed down from the high platform.
Earl Jones, who had started the rebellion, died.
Like any ordinary soldier who was killed, he lay silently in a pool of blood.
...
The Starwind Lord's army drew closer.
The mechanical clan who lost their command were knocked down like wheat, and the knights could even hear the roars of the barbarian warriors in the North.
The Lord of Starwind soars in the sky, with giant dragons and angels surrounding him, like a divine messenger descended from heaven.
Lord Jones is dead, what should he insist on?
The middle-aged knight's spirit has collapsed, but he still holds his sword and maintains an alert fighting posture.
The rebellion failed.
He comes from a poor peasant family in Lingding City, and has always been favored by Lord Jones.
As a guard knight, he was determined to protect the lord's body and fight until the last moment.
"Come on, Lord of Starwind, I'm not afraid of you!" the knight said with a trembling voice.
The enemy came closer, and the knight became more and more nervous.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound on the ground.
The sound was mysterious and dark, like a ghoul wandering in the rice fields or a ghost wandering in the cemetery.
A cold, strange and strange atmosphere spread around.
The knight tried to find the source of the aura, and finally looked at the lord's body lying on the ground.
In his doubtful eyes, Jones' body changed.
One after another, bright red tentacles emerged from the gaps in the plate armor, twitching energetically like new life, exploring the surrounding environment.
Soon, the bright red tentacles turned into a dark black-red color, and the malicious and cold aura became more intense.
The knight's teeth chattered and he couldn't help but point his sword at the lord he had served.
"Joan...Master Jones! What's wrong with you!"
The corpse on the ground suddenly laughed.
After Jones was killed by his neck, his trachea was blocked by blood clots, and he could only make a weird gurgling sound from his throat.
At the same time, the tentacles spreading and growing around were surprised to find a fresh source of energy.
The tentacles crawling on the ground suddenly bounced up and stabbed the stunned knight in mid-air.
The maturity and awakening of the Seed of Ascension brings super-level strength to the host.
Such an attack is absolutely impossible for the knight to resist.
After a desperate struggle, the knight was twisted into a ball, his limbs were damaged and twisted, and turned into bloody steel waste.
...
In the endless darkness, Jones was alone in the invisible space.
At the boundary between life and death, a force beyond death pulled him back from eternal destruction.
That is the power of the rising seed.
He thought he would not be able to wait for the Ascension Seed to mature, but in the face of the Starwind Lord's destructive army, Jones resolutely chose to commit suicide.
But unexpectedly, it actually worked at the last minute.
In the face of the crisis of death, the seed of ascension quickly matures in the host's body and breaks out.
At the same time, the fatal injuries on the host were repaired, and Jones' mortal body was upgraded to super strength.
During this period, Jones' spirit experienced the baptism of countless bizarre, unspeakable, and indescribable alien knowledge, and he saw certain truths about the world.
In the near-infinite mental extension, Jones's spirit spied on a huge extraterrestrial psychic network - Star Clan.
Star Clan creatures have ugly tentacles growing on their faces like soul flayers. They have an extremely long history and a technological civilization that is even more brilliant than the Machine Clan.
Star Clan is widely scattered in the vast universe, invading countless planets and worlds.
Jones finally understood that this Ascension Seed turned out to be the newly born larvae of StarClan.
When the larva matures and breaks out to provide the host with super-level strength, it is when the host's spiritual will is replaced by the new star race.
At the last moment, Jones suddenly remembered.
The half-skeleton face of the ascendant who opened the Gate of Punishment from the Wolf God was also covered with a group of wriggling tentacles.
And now, Jones' limited and weak human consciousness is about to be swallowed up by the new Star Race.
After being exposed to a higher level of knowledge, he saw a fragment of the picture.
It was a black-haired man with an extremely tall figure and appearance. The lower part of his human face was made up of twisted tentacles.
The man stood proudly in the void, standing alone in front of a huge ocean planet full of life. He held the planet tightly with one hand, and the vast power tore the planet into pieces.
Jones suddenly had a realization.
This is the man known as the Star Breaker, and he is also the leader of the Star Clan and the Machine Clan.
He finally understood that the Starbreakers had never been an organization or an alliance.
He is just a human being! A man!
The moment he saw that man, Jones's memory and will were completely alienated——
The new StarClan awakens.
The world appeared before him as it had never looked before.
In the psychic vision, the ubiquitous psychic threads were revealed before his eyes, and the deep reality of the world opened in front of him.
The new Star Clan stood proudly on the earth and reached the super level in the blink of an eye.
…
In the North Shore battlefield, the central area where the rebel leader Jones was located.
Terrifying psychic storms gathered and rose, announcing the birth of a super-powerful man.
The terrifying lightning and psychic storm clouds obscured the sight, like an inflated blue-purple balloon, still expanding, swallowing everything around it.
Tens of millions of viewers across the country watched this strange scene at the same time.
Live broadcast host Yang Zhi's eyes widened and he said in a horrified voice: "What on earth is that?"
