Chapter 554: Advance to Camp
A near-completely transparent soul with an incomparably faint aura was hidden in the gray mist, condescendingly and silently observing the rapidly built camp in the distance.
I don't know how long it took, but its body moved, but it flew backwards silently, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The faint gray mist moved slightly, smoothing out the subtle traces left behind in the drift......
Knowing Suosuo β
At the same time as the transparent soul body left, some small grinding sounds on the ground suddenly sounded intensively, and some strange noises came from all directions.
With very subtle and dense footsteps, some strange and hideous insects appeared in the mist, their appearance was a bit like distorted locusts, the size of a hyena, with sharp forelimbs and sharp fangs, jumping forward at a strange pace, moving quickly, in large numbers, and hundreds soon appeared in the gray mist.
The bugs soon gathered in swarms and rushed towards the camp at the edge of the gray mist.
Not only that, but there was a rumbling sound beneath the ground, apparently something digging underneath.
Woowoo woo β
However, when the bugs approached about five hundred meters away from the camp, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded from the center of the camp, causing many of the working mages to raise their heads.
"A large number of hostile targets have been detected approaching!"
"From now on, the camp is in a wartime state!"
The next moment, a calm voice resounded throughout the camp, giving orders one by one with a loud voice technique.
"The formation of the circle has been suspended. β
"The construction golem stopped working. β
"Concentrate energy and strengthen the perimeter energy shield. β
β......β
Under the command of this voice, the mages, who were originally a little overwhelmed by the sudden siren, also reacted and acted according to the arrangement, so that order in the camp became orderly again.
Click, click!
With the sound of armor parts rubbing against each other, one by one, the black-armored warriors stepped out of the low buildings located near the camp wall, and walked neatly up the wall, facing the outside to form a new wall of steel.
These black-armored warriors have bright red eyes that don't look like humans, from which they cast a cold gaze, and their movements are a little sluggish and mechanical, but they are full of power.
They're all constructing creatures, Activated Armor to be exact.
Although they are also constructed creatures, unlike golem golems that rely on soul cores, activated armor relies purely on the magic circle and rune activities engraved inside, which is a relatively low-end, mediocre type.
Obviously, the Activated Armor is nowhere near as good as the Golem, but it's less expensive, can be produced in large quantities, and the nature of the constructed creatures makes it a good combat power, so it's widely used.
Thundered!
However, just as the casters were making a move, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a dull thud, as if something huge was trying to emerge from below.
The violent tremors even made some spellcasters a little unsteady on their feet, and they almost fell to the ground.
However, there was no panic on their faces, and they didn't seem to be worried at all.
Sure enough, the violent shaking of the ground lasted for dozens of seconds, but gradually eased and weakened, and then began to move away.
At the same time, one spellcaster after another entered their wartime positions, either climbing the wall to support the fire behind the animate armor, or entering the reserved position of the camp circle to stand by, or entering the logistics of the healing and repair areas......
Everything seemed to be in order, as if it wasn't the first time it had been attacked.
In fact, this camp was indeed the first time it had been attacked, but not for the builders and principals of the camp.
Strictly speaking, this camp is already the seventh forward camp established by the Arcane Ring on the border of the Mage Federation, near the regions corrupted by the Evil Moon, namely the Duchy of Rosaard, the Duchy of Grull, and the Kingdom of Phoenix bordering the Mage Federation.
In the process of establishing camps 1 to 6 in the early stage, I have already encountered various large and small attacks, and I don't know how many times, and I have rich experience in confrontation.
During the construction, the walls of the entire camp were made strong and heavy enough, every piece of masonry was protected and blessed, and the ground was specially leveled and hardened, and additional stone slabs up to one meter thick were also buried, and even the front and back of the stone slabs had inscribed reinforcement runes to prevent things like the roots of demonic plants and creatures with the ability to burrow into the ground from the ground.
Not to mention, there is also the protection of magic circles and energy shields.
Not only that, in terms of logistical supplies, the camp has enough food and fresh water for everyone to eat and drink for three months, inspects and disposes of potentially problematic parts every three days, and also reserves a month's worth of spell materials for spell casting costs, circle maintenance, and construct repairs.
And all this is to ensure that the entire camp can support at least two weeks even if it is under a large-scale siege, until the arrival of reinforcements.
At this point, these preparations came into play, successfully blocking the huge objects that wanted to be drilled out of the ground.
Rumble!
However, it didn't take long for the ground outside the camp to suddenly shake violently, and with a violent explosion, a piece of ground suddenly exploded, and a large amount of dirt, gravel, and various debris were blown into the air, forming a deep hole.
Then a large mouth of blood appeared from the mouth of the cave, and even a boulder was held in it, and in the process of drilling out, the huge mouthparts crushed it into exploding rubble.
Roar β
Then, a massive body emerged from the ground, and a giant worm-like body emerged from the hole, its blood-red eyes staring at the moon looming in the sky behind the gray mist, and let out a dull roar from its back.
In a faint gray mist.
The huge body of the giant worm with a length of tens of meters loomed, and this terrifying monster had a special spiritual power field on the surface of its body, with a tough skin and tenacious vitality, at this time, it was almost hard to resist the spell blows that emerged from all over the camp, and under the impact of frost, fire, thunder and other energy, it slammed into the energy shield of the camp.
Rumble!
Zilazilaβ
Under the combined effect of the psychic power field and the twisted strange power, the place where the energy shield came into contact with the giant worm also rippled densely for a while, making some sounds that didn't sound good.
And behind the giant worm, a large number of rapidly charging black shadows have also approached!
