Chapter 778: Chapter 130: Grand Opening

“Boom!”

The steel behemoth roared and thundered across the chaotic battlefield, firing deadly shells, acting like a wrathful Giant, mercilessly tearing apart several battalions of the Allied Forces.

—-It was a “Great Red Dragon” class tank, the largest steam tank of the Ashen Empire, shining in the war against North Aisier.

Behind the steam tank, George was rapidly advancing with his infantry brigade.

They charged into the Allied Forces’ positions through the gap created by the tank, annihilating the remaining Allied troops, and covering the tank’s charge.

“Commander, look over there!”

The adjutant cried out in alarm, and George hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, his expression suddenly changing.

There, a Heavenly Warrior was kneeling on the ground, barely supporting himself with his sword, his delicate face exceptionally pale, with blood oozing from his mouth.

His armor was battered and embedded with shrapnel, and his white Feathers were stained with dust and blood, hanging limply beside him.

Seemingly hearing their voices, the Heavenly Warrior raised his head, glaring angrily at George, his golden pupils surging with light.

“Mortal, leave this place! I can… spare your lives.”

In an instant, all the Soldiers present felt an intense pressure descend, a scorching gust of wind hitting their faces.

“Angel…”

George instantly understood what had happened, this was an injured Heavenly Warrior who had fallen, and no doubt a powerful one!

If this were over a decade ago, George could never have imagined encountering an Angel only mentioned in the tales of old Priests, let alone think of standing against such beings.

But now, George’s hand holding the gun trembled slightly, not out of fear, but due to extreme tension and excitement.

The injured Angel in front of him was undoubtedly a high-ranking being in the Heavenly Legion, and if he could lead his troops to kill him, it would also certainly be a grand merit.

The Angel, sensing George’s thoughts, said sorrowfully: “Ignorant Mortals… you have all been beguiled by evil dragons!

Do you know whom you are facing? I am Barney, the Guard Commander of Silver Heaven, the enforcer of justice…”

“Soldiers, do not be intimidated by his bluster, he is an enemy of the Empire!” George pulled out his gun, ruthlessly interrupting the other’s words.

Then, George deliberately elongated his voice: “Do you know–what it means to kill a high-ranking Heavenly Warrior?”

Instantly, the hearts of all the Imperial Soldiers present filled with fervor, their breathing became rapid, they knew all too well what this meant–glory and status!

Their commander, George, the Dragonblood Earl, had become a Baron by his military feats of killing enemy leaders and had hence walked this glorious path.

If George could do it, why couldn’t they?

“For the Empire!”

“Kill him!”

The Soldiers shouted fervently, yet did not act rashly, they were well aware of the importance of discipline, and had long formed such habits.

Under George’s command, they dispersed into a huge semicircular formation, steadily approaching the Heavenly Warrior.

The Angel, with his head bowed, rasped: “You… will regret this.”

“Swoosh–”

His broad wings suddenly stretched out, countless blood-stained golden Feathers like arrows flew out towards the surrounding Imperial Soldiers.

George, with quick reflexes, dropped to the ground, shouting loudly: “Danger! Get down!”

Upon hearing the command, a large number of Imperial Soldiers instantly dropped to the ground without hesitation, reflexively.

But still, dozens were unable to avoid in time, their bodies pierced by dense feathers, riddled like sieves, blood gushing from numerous wounds before they collapsed on the ground.

“What a terrifying attack!” George, lying on the ground, looked at the fallen Soldiers and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

This Angel’s power was far beyond his expectations! If not careful, their entire army might be annihilated!

With this in mind, he immediately took out his walkie-talkie, and whispered: “The enemy is powerful, call for artillery support! Coordinates…”

In the distance, Barney, using his sword to support his body, slowly stood up from the ground, panting heavily and said: “I do not like to harm Mortals, I forgive your ignorance and stupidity, always offering you the greatest leniency…..

But now, I see clearly a fact–the followers of evil dragons, you are beyond redemption, unforgivable!”

“Clang–”

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Barney single-handedly drew the Longsword that had been plunged into the ground and pointed it towards the sky.

Suddenly, a sun-like blinding light burst from the tip of the sword, instantly illuminating everything around, with concert-like majestic music resounding, as if pronouncing judgment on sinners.

“Whoosh–”

Just then, accompanied by a piercing screech, a shell whistled down from the sky, precisely bombarding the Angel.

Suddenly, Barney’s expression changed drastically, he laid the Longsword sideways, fiercely slashing, a blade light cleaved across the sky, exploding the shell in mid-air.

“Boom!”

However, immediately after, more shells fell from the sky like raindrops, creating one explosion after another.

Barney, well aware of the potency of these weapons, had no choice but to drag his injured body, darting back and forth on the ground, evading them.

With a flap of his wings, countless golden Feathers flew into the sky, a series of blade lights crisscrossed, blocking the densely falling shells.
