Chapter 346: Blackwater City's Attack and Defense
"Can the Mother of Dragons stop time?" Goron interrupted the Dragonman. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
ā...... Are you kidding? Even the real Dragons of Time and Eternity don't seem to have that power. Later, in order to allow Goron to understand the mysteries of time more vividly, Bluetooth, a trainee time magician, gave Goron a very vivid example: "Time is a long river that flows endlessly, and the Eternal Dragons are the fish that can roam in the river." They can swim against the current to the upper reaches of the river, that is, to go back to the 'past', or they can accelerate to the 'downstream' of the river...... To the 'future', of course, you can also float naturally along the current, just like the leaves floating on the river, neither fast nor slow. We are these leaves floating on the surface of the river, only the ability to go down the river, sometimes swaying a few times with the wind, which is the essence of time magic, but it is impossible to control the whole river. Although the Eternal Dragons can swim freely in the long river of time, they are not able to stop the entire river or even make the river flow backwards, they are just more free in time than others. ā
Just as the two of them were talking, they had unconsciously walked out of the dragon nest of the eternal dragon clan, the underground palace like a wormhole. The moment he stepped his toes over the mouth of the crypt, Goron found that his perception had returned to normal, and the second divine power had activated itself, and the battle on the quagmire docks in the distance became clearly visible.
The war had apparently escalated further, with the Knights of Light marching directly at the heart of Blackwater, the giant stone tower of the laboratory left behind by the Emperor of Magic. At this time, the Legion of Light summoned by the War Knights, with the covert assistance of the other three Apocalypse Knights, had approached the quagmire docks. Some of the knights had even made it to the hard ground and melee with the inhabitants of Blackwater.
Almost everyone who can live in Blackwater is an experienced and skilled veteran explorer. Not only do you have to struggle to survive in the labyrinth created by the Magic Emperor, but you also have to search for treasures everywhere. When he left the Stone Tower, he also had to take on the day-to-day defense work of Blackwater City, and he had a lot of experience in dealing with various crises. Although due to the lack of unified and effective command, it was impossible to conduct large-scale corps operations, so they could only adopt the tactics of fighting separately and cooperating with assistance in a small area. Despite this, the explorers of the Stone Tower have already defeated an unknown number of powerful enemies with the help of the special geographical environment of Blackwater City.
However, it was not them who stood out the most, in the very center of the swamp, a massive hydra monster was showing his supreme majesty as the lord of the swamp. Legend has it that the Hydra is a distant relative of the ancient giants. In terms of wisdom, it is far from the wisdom dragon clan, and even among all super-level demonic beasts, it is also at the bottom. There is also no talent in mana control, and most of the hydra monsters don't even have their own innate magic, so it's a bit reluctant to be called a "monster".
However, the Hydra Cusk also has its own unique and proud abilities, that is, its incomparably tenacious vitality, and the fierce poison of the gods, which even the gods of the heavenly realm can poison.
Not every hydra monster has nine heads, the number of heads is generally between three and nine, and the more heads there are, the stronger the hydra is undoubtedly stronger. The Hydra is even decapitated. As long as one head survives, the other heads will also be reborn in a very short period of time, and their regeneration ability is also one of the best among super-level magical beasts. Although the hydra is not very good at magic, it has a large and powerful body. The near-immortal metamorphosis recovery power, and the fangs that even the gods of the Heavenly Realm can poison, make them one of the most difficult super-level magical beasts.
But this time, it was the Apocalypse Knights who felt that the Hydra was difficult, although this Basilisk only had six heads. It wasn't desperately large, and it seemed to be a very young basilisk. But it stands in the way of the Knights of Light, as one of Blackwater's final lines of defense. Dutifully destroying everything around him that can be moved.
Although the Phantom Knight Legion summoned by the War Knights at the expense of their true existence was invincible on the battlefield, they were a little powerless against this real super-level demonic beast, and the bayonet spears in their hands could not even break through the huge scales of the heavy tower shield of the nine-(six-headed) basilisk.
Along the quagmire docks, nearly a thousand Blackwater residents engage in a bloody battle with mysterious attackers. It was indeed a bloody battle, and the inhabitants of Blackwater knew that this city was everything to them, and losing the city would not only mean that they would lose their only home where they could sleep peacefully in this place of plane confusion and danger, but also that they would lose the megalithic magic tower, which concealed countless treasures and may be the only hope of getting out of here.
In this battle, there is no defeat in death.
But the war is not that if you don't want to lose, you will not lose, this battle, the Knight of Light is just a one-time use consumable, of course, there is no need to worry about the proportion of battle losses, these puppet warriors are not afraid of life and death, only to kill and injure the opponent for the only purpose. Even if it is at the cost of their own disappearance in exchange for a little injury from the opponent, in this case, although the residents of Blackwater City have eliminated several times the number of opponents they have, it is difficult to guarantee that they are unharmed, and when the injuries accumulate too much, a large number of casualties finally begin to appear.
Goron glanced at the battlefield in the distance and found that this battle was still fighting, although the warring sides seemed to have suffered heavy losses, but Goron had a faint feeling that in fact, both sides had not yet come up with a real killer weapon. These Knights of Light are clearly just cannon fodder summoned by the masterminds behind the attack on Blackwater, and the real threat is still hidden behind the shadows. And Blackwater City stands tall in this backwater swamp, and although the hole cards are opened one by one, there must be some other secret weapon hidden.
Goron's instincts have always been surprisingly accurate, and at this time, in a stone hall closest to the giant stone tower in Blackwater City, a group of solemn black-robed people are standing quietly around a magical map, which is obviously also a product of the magic stone tower, showing a magical image of extremely high resolution, depicting everything on the battlefield vividly and in great detail. Even if it is an ancient relic from 10,000 years ago, the technology left by the Magic Emperor is still far ahead of the entire Dota Continent, and it is hard to imagine how brilliant the magical civilization created by the Magic Emperor at that time was.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face in the hall frowned and said, "The situation is not quite right, the number of these summons has not decreased significantly, and the most important thing is that their summoners do not seem to have appeared yet. ā
Another woman with half of her face burned and only bones left faintly replied: "There's nothing to worry about, now the people in charge of fighting are only some peripheral explorers, it's normal to fight hard, even if they are all wiped out, it doesn't matter much, if the situation is too critical, we can use that thing to forcibly expel all the explorers in the Philosopher's Stone Tower from the Stone Tower." As long as a few of our core explorers are able to fight, an opponent of this magnitude is nothing. ā
"But those core explorers are not so easy to control, if they are forcibly called out by us when they are working on an important strategy, I am afraid that the first one who will not be spared will be us. A big fat man with a kind face said with a grin.
The fat man's remarks quickly drew the wrath of the burned-faced woman, who said, "Hey, Ponson, you're a member of the Blackwater Council, so be careful when you speak." Who is standing here who is not the former core explorer, and who knows better than us the importance of guarding the stone tower. ā
"But ......" The fat man waved his hand and said with a helpless wry smile: "Of course I know this, but I heard that Johnson's team seems to be attacking the two thousand five hundred layers of the guard level, calculate the time, and now it is the critical moment, this time it seems that a large number of one-time cherished props have been used, and they have also taken away several cannon fodder that can be sacrificed for a long time." I think if we fail this time, at least within two hundred years, Blackwater City should not be able to challenge the 2,500 levels again. ā
Hearing the fat man say this, the atmosphere became very grim for a while, looking at the sudden change of expressions on the faces of everyone in the Blackwater Council, it seemed that the importance of attacking the two thousand five hundred levels was greater than the imminent siege crisis, and even the woman with a burned face said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, that prop really can't be used, even if there is only a one percent chance, we can't disturb Johnson's team and let this rare hope be dashed." ā
"So what are these guys going to do, we've even used the guardian beast Hydra, but the real enemy hasn't even appeared. ā
"In that case, let's take action as members of the Blackwater Council ourselves, and hope that you old bones can still move......"

"The gate of the megalith tower is about to open, do you have any luggage to take?" asked the dragon girl beside her, she didn't have the perverted super vision of Goron, and she didn't know the fierceness of the battle in the distance. However, after she saw Icarus, the Mother of Dragons, and heard that "this battle is not for the two of them", she apparently stopped taking this matter to heart. Goron asked curiously, and knowing that Icarus, the Mother of Dragons, was able to see the fragments of time in the future, what she said was like a prophecy, and the Eternal Dragonmen would never question the Queen's orders.
"I don't have any luggage I need to take...... You can go at any time. "Goron's important belongings are hidden in the invisible tattoos on his body, and he usually only carries a few dispensable luggage. Although Goron intuitively knew that the attacker was coming at him, there was no need for him to stay here and continue to watch. Goron still couldn't figure out what was going on with the Mother of Dragons, and he didn't even know which Mother of Dragons was real, whether it was the beautiful lady who matched the imaginary image of the Mother of Dragons, or the neurotic who looked exactly like his mother in his hallucinations.
