Chapter 877 - 877 60 The Great Wind Rises Major W

877: Chapter 60 The Great Wind Rises (Major Chapter W) 877: Chapter 60 The Great Wind Rises (Major Chapter W) Constructed Knight, also known as “Perpetual Combat Mobile Fortress”, is a high-level combat unit specialized from armor suit technology in Fiery Flame Land.

Just like the knights from Sertar Empire’s First Legion and the Ten Great Knight Orders, the Constructed Knights are also among the most renowned armed forces in the Fiery Flame Countries.

Few elite troops can match them, with Azure Sky Royal Court’s “Royal Court Iron Cavalry” and Yanjiang’s “Omen Legion” being some of the few that can compare in terms of battle achievements.

However, the “Lightbearer Guard” from Gantreignum and the “Mutespell Sorcerer” from Far Shore Island remain obscure due to their mysterious nature.

Besides, various nations also have their own elite armed forces, but apart from those powerful countries, entities like Whale Song Cliff, which require support from other countries to combat Sea Beasts and Sea Demon Worms, mostly manage to maintain training for officers and reserve personnel during peacetime, only to catalyze them temporarily during war periods.

The “Wavepatroller Swordsman” is such an elite Sublime Forces unit.

A team of Constructed Knights consists of three riders, but in terms of military strength, even a Dragon Hunting Team led by a Great Dragon cannot match them; at least multiple dragon squads are required to compete against these great national industries and high-end technologies.

This is a force capable of disrupting the balance of power in South Ridge, and transporting Constructed Knights into another country’s territory is definitely a significant event that The Empire cannot ignore.

“We must inform Nauman City!

Shouldn’t we be calling the Knight Order over to face them, instead of relying on me to fight?”

Ian made up his mind.

He continued flipping through the diary he held, seeking more information but found that the Jiamu Chieftain didn’t write much about such sensitive matters, only expressing complaints like, “I completely have no idea where they have hidden the Constructed Knights now.”

It must be said that the existence of the Constructed Knights indeed influenced Ian’s strategic thinking.

He had originally joyfully stolen the Jiamu Sect’s homeland and was brimming with loot, planning to head home and concentrate on studying the Elemental Crystals production line, while amusingly watching the panic of the Independent Villagers (specifically referring to Jiamu Sect).

But now, he realizes the situation might not be as easy and light.

“The problem with the mountain people needs to be resolved quickly, or else being attacked from both sides could turn things sour.”

Ian put down the diary, his gaze turning cold as he looked towards the grand hall: “Let’s speed things up, create chaos in the Jiamu Sect now.”

“If possible…

we need to escalate things further—the Jiamu Chieftain must be brought over.”

Dealing with a mountain villagers alliance was still within Ian’s abilities.

Facing the strongest military force of Fiery Flame Land, even if Ian could win, there was absolutely no need to.

Spending so much energy and exposing his trump cards would make even a victory ineffective.

“After blowing up the grand hall, head to the Iron Dragon Nest and create some major news.”

Decision made, Ian immediately began his actions.

Speaking of which, he was thankful for the information provided by Priest Fiotto.

The last time he was kicked out of a union meeting after visiting the Jiamu Sect, he likely harbored a grudge and intended to blow up the Jiamu Sect’s Sacred Temple without thinking twice about the details.

“The rocky platform in the southeast…”

Soon, Ian located the position mentioned by Priest Fiotto.

Indeed, there were several cracks in the pillars of the grand hall on this side of the stone platform, although it wasn’t quite at the point of imminent danger.

But no matter, he would shortly bring it to that point.

Meanwhile.

Priest Nolan of the Jiamu Sect was frantic, the explosion in the Alchemy Workshop area had been confirmed to be the work of a Water System Second Tier Sublimator, whose strength was quite formidable, certainly high-tier, beyond what they could handle.

Even if troops were called in, it was unlikely they would be able to detain the assailant, and it would cause significant casualties to their own side.

After evacuating unrelated personnel in the alchemy area and calling in troops to secure the Alchemy Workshop, this relatively young priest finally breathed a sigh of relief—only surrounded by troops and cannons did he feel a scant sense of security.

“What in the world happened?”

Only now did he have the leisure to feel outraged: “Why did those Ironwing Dragons suddenly fly away?

Could it be they sensed the attacker was too strong and did not want to serve us?

I always said those beastly hands are unreliable!”

“And moreover, the Alchemy Workshop being wrecked like this…

God of Dragons bless, I hope the Chieftain doesn’t flay me when he returns…”

Nolan knew very well that the Elemental Crystal Condenser in the Alchemy Workshop was acquired by their Chieftain together with other tribes by extorting Fiery Flame Land, reportedly involving many confidential pieces of information and trump cards.

Extorting once was unbelievable enough; a second time was nearly impossible.

His life, in front of that device, was absolutely incomparable, but now that the item was lost, and he couldn’t possibly retrieve it, he could only think of a way to shift the blame onto those Ironwing Dragons.

While he was pondering how to make the Ironwing Dragons shoulder more blame, and to convince others of this as well.

Above the Firmament, suddenly a thunderclap sounded.

Boom!

A narrow beam of blue light burst from the zenith, striking the platform on the right side of the grand hall.

The priest was stunned, a straight line tracing through his brown pupils in the lightning, and it wasn’t until several seconds later, when the entire platform began to tremble violently, that his face drastically changed, and a sharp cry pressured out from his throat: “The Sacred Temple!!!”
