"What did you lay out there?"

"Throwing area."

"It's because of its superiority in terms of protection capabilities, which does not limit the race."

"Yes, but it still requires a lot of Rock Lifeforms."

"They're already getting ready to cross the river, when will your arrangement be complete?"

"A day and a half."

"What if I needed you to be faster."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Tomorrow morning the second tick. ”

"Then Endymion needs to move again."

……

"...... Li"

……

"Lipel ......"

……

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's coming...... Wake up......"

The constant vague calls in her ears, coupled with the constant shaking of her body, Li Bai finally reluctantly opened her eyes and returned to reality from her dream.

She was still lying on the wasteland where she remembered falling into a coma, and the slight pain in the back of her head proved to her that the big stone she had used as a pillow had not disappeared into thin air, and that the moonless night sky was gloomy before dawn, and every now and then a dull sound would suddenly burst out from nearby, and the shock wave was so strong that even the ground where she was sitting was trembling, and it was conceivable that the force was absolutely extraordinary.

DesirΓ©e knelt beside her, and the blonde girl, who was no longer dressed as a ranger, patted her rather thoughtful breasts, and looked relieved to see that she had finally come to her senses, and then she didn't know why she fell into anxiety again.

"Hurry up! It's not safe here...... The Mithras have launched a fourth assault, and we must hurry up and retreat to Endymion. ”

After explaining the reason for her rudeness without thinking, Desilei no longer continued to explain to Li Bai, who still looked a little dazed, she pulled one of the other party's arms and pulled it onto her shoulder, forcibly lifting Li Bai up.

"Wait...... We're going...... Endymion......"

Fatigue and the sudden pull up made Li Bai's eyes darken for a while, and she stammered and asked the blonde girl who was holding her about the details of the matter: "You just said the fourth assault...... Today is ...... How long has it been since I set up the slinging area? ”

"You've slept for a day and a night." Another voice came from the left, and Li Bai turned his head to look and found that it was a warrior wearing magic armor.

"Accelerating the embodiment of the splendor area consumed a lot of your energy, and after completing it, you said that you wanted to go to a distant place by yourself, Your Majesty was not at ease, and specially let our four defenders guard your left and right."

"As a result, I fell asleep after walking for a while, right......" Raising his hand and rubbing his temples, Li Bai himself almost recalled what happened before he fell into a deep sleep, and he almost had a calculation in his heart about the current situation.

These four defenders, by the title in the card, should be the Wizard Knight-Defender is more appropriate, this is a more defensive class, with the ability to use magic gems instead of destruction, if they are gathered together, it will be extremely difficult to break through the defense line formed by the defenders from the front, not to mention that they usually cooperate with other more aggressive magic warriors, and the overall performance is used to the maximum.

Judging from the fact that the enemy was already launching a fourth assault, it can be assumed that she had slept significantly longer than expected...... Oh, no wonder she was so nervous, she was only awakened at this time, the situation on the front line was undoubtedly extremely serious, so severe that they couldn't even send someone to take her back to the castle.

"Are you here alone, Desire?" Li Bai leaned over and tore his arm off the girl's shoulder.

After taking a few breaths of the cold night breeze, her sleepiness disappeared completely, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more energetic, so that she no longer had to be supported by others to walk.

"Beware! Squat down! ”

The four magic knights suddenly blocked her left front, the huge shield in their hands chopped on the ground, and before Li Bai could understand what was happening, the deafening explosion violently drilled into her ears, and the scorching wind pressure knocked her and Desilei to the ground together, Li Bai immediately pulled up his cloak and wrapped the bodies of the two of them, in case there might be follow-up injuries in the future.

After about ten seconds, she couldn't notice any other movement, Li Bai carefully lifted her cloak, poked her head out to look at what was happening, she vaguely recognized a shadow from the sky above that was deeper than the night - it had a condensed metal-like scale armor, its wings were stretched out and it was fifteen meters wide, dragging a slender dragon tail over them, a pillar of black flame connected its head to the earth, and the place where the tongue of fire raged was scorched earth and black smoke.

"Lipel...... They, they all ......" The blonde girl withdrew her gaze from the sky, and saw several helpless bodies lying on the scorched earth, motionless and motionless.

The defense line jointly laid by several magic knights protected Li Bai and Desilei from this terrible pillar of fire, but they themselves could not do so.

"......" Li Bai bit his lip, a touch of pathos appeared on his face, and at the same time, a little anger was mixed in it.

If it weren't for the four shield defenses with "gems" attached to them blocking the path swept by the pillar of fire, she would have been burned to ashes before she could react.

(Dark Flame Dragon...... How could it be that she dared to throw it into such a position that could be said to be the hinterland of the enemy, and was she not afraid that it would be killed? οΌ‰

The degraded Black Flame Dragon has lost its ability to sanction magic in its original LV8 form, but it has also re-bred a power that can use magic as an energy source to revive the next dark attribute lifeform, for the magic messengers who are good at using magic, this guy's storage zΓ i is almost equivalent to the enemy's battlefield necromancer, under its supply ability like an aircraft carrier, every time they release a magic, it may become the resurrection effect of the dead enemy, The consequences of this terrifying endurance fed back into the material world would be strategic, and it would normally be impossible to allow the Dark Black Flame Dragon to operate on the battlefield so unscrupulously, but now that this scene has really appeared, it probably represents-

"Endymion can't go back." Li Bai turned her gaze to the canopy behind the hills, where she could vaguely see three bright "stars" levitating, and the canopy they guarded was rendered bright red, mixed with countless jumping shadows.

"Nelofa dares to put Black Yanlong here, which shows that she is absolutely sure not to let her opponent turn the tables." Li Bai couldn't help but grab one of Desilei's hands and pull her in the opposite direction, "Let's go, go to the lake shore on the other side, Lila and Jane should have already set it up." ”

"Huh? What arrangement? Desilei was pulled and staggered a few steps, she didn't understand the meaning of Li Bai's words: "Wait, we're not going back to the castle?" But...... What about the battlefield there!? They need our help! ”

"Even if we go back and help repel this enemy attack, it won't make any difference to the overall outcome of the battle." Li Bai narrowed his eyes and shook the hood cloak attached to his shoulders as he spoke.

What she had to do next was pretty much the same as sneaking in, and the conspicuous white color would only help.

"It's not just this time." Seeing Desilei's still unexplained look, Li Bai sighed and continued: "Even if you win the tenth or hundredth battle like this, Endymion will still lose in the end. ”

"As long as she lives, the darkness will never die."

...... "ι™›xiΓ ." Maran came to the lookout of the castle tower and handed a piece of parchment with mysterious lines to the tall man standing in front of him: "The fourth eighth-level energy reaction [Note 1] has been found in the northwest direction, judging from the magic shock wave fed back from the air, it is the Black Flame Dragon. ”

The Magus King took the parchment and glanced down over the interconnected lines, then he didn't respond, just looked at the battlefield on the outskirts of the tower's barrier.

Li Bai once described the tower of the castle of Endymion as being the strongest weapon in the world, this sentence is not wrong, and few people know that it can be suspended by magic like the three floating cities of the Magic Book Library - the geographical location they are now in is no longer the densely populated city center, but closer to the Emil Lake, next to the angle between land and water, and the range of the rock-throwing area to the north, if anyone wants to land from the opposite shore, It is necessary to pass through this hill in between.

And this hilly path, which was the only way to the west, was now covered with blood, covered with countless craters and cracks that had been knocked out by the great force, and countless corpses paved the way, of all races. From the occasional grove of trees to the hilly slopes to the shallow waters of the lake, the Amir Plain, which was once uniquely landscaped, became a premeditated battlefield after becoming the Emir Lake as planned.

A blood-red purgatory.

The coalition forces finally repelled the fourth wave of the invaders, but the price they paid was much more painful than expected...... With more than one-sixth of the total number of troops killed and twice the number of casualties far exceeding all pre-war expectations, almost all of the deployments were shattered by a force they had never heard of, and it was hard to imagine that if this terrible offensive had been repeated a few more times, the alliance that had not been monolithic would have fallen apart directly.

"This time there is Horus's Grass Pheasant [Note 2]...... It's really troublesome, the research institute, have you found a way to deal with the Dark Crusade? ”

Endymion stopped his control of the four energy storage devices in the Magic Castle and tilted his head to ask.

"I don't have a clue yet...... the green-robed female mage shook her head regretfully: "Their ability mechanism is very simple, they only need the death power of dark attribute lifeforms to slightly strengthen their strength, and each enhancement is about a quarter of their initial combat power...... What is quite frightening at the moment is that the effects of this enhancement have not yet shown signs of disappearing, and no side effects have been observed, and some researchers have even speculated that this enhancement can be carried out indefinitely and permanently...... [Note 3]"

Maran's face grew heavier and heavier as she spoke, of course she knew the consequences of not having a solution, and this new class of the enemy, although it had no other special abilities, ...... The unreasonable infinite increase alone had already overwhelmed all of them, and those plans that were originally formulated to deal with various situations had no effect at all in the case of a frontal battlefield that could not be defeated no matter what, and they were about to collapse at the touch of a button, not to mention the few high-level energy reactions that were still raging, the seventh-level energy reactions twice, and the eighth-level energy reactions four times, what should I do to seek a ray of light from this suffocating gap......

"By the way, Your Majesty, there's one more thing." Ma Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, "The direction in which this high-level energy reaction appeared is ...... Will Miss Lipel ......? ”

The girl who is rumored to have single-handedly created the battle line in the catapult area, it seems that she said that she would go in that direction to relax long before the battle began, and the previous battles have left this side with no energy to distract from affairs outside the battlefield, and now that she thinks about it, she must not be very fierce.

Level 8 ...... In terms of rank alone, it was a level higher than that of the Demon Wizard King, and Maran admitted that the girl was very strange in the way she felt to her, but she didn't think that the other party could withstand the destruction of such an opponent.

"I sent her four defenders before, plus her two guards and herself, and it should be fine." Endymion handed the parchment back to Maran and said, "Let the institute step up the analysis of countermeasures, and help me contact the rest of the masters, according to the rhythm of the enemy, and then it will be our turn to work......

"Besides, there is still no response from Jalanir."

"No...... Huh? ι™›xiΓ , she ...... Miss Lipel, don't we care? Ma Lan answered, and then looked at the Demon King in amazement, suspecting that he had misheard.

Even if on the surface, everyone can see that the relationship between His Majesty and Miss Lipel is not harmonious, but such an obvious attitude, is it too ...... Not a little inappropriate?

"Leave her alone." Facing the frightened looks of his subordinates, the tall king vaguely glanced at the other side of the lake at the far end of the night, and rarely squeezed out a smile from his face.

"Her heart is not here, and so is her battlefield."

[Note 1]: X-level energy reaction, "X" corresponds to the equivalent value conversion of monster LV.

[Note 2]: Refers to Horus's Black Flame Dragon, that is, the form of the Dark Black Flame Dragon before its degeneration.

[Note 3]: The initial value of the Dark Crusader is 1600/200, and the effect is to drop a dark attribute monster in your hand to increase attack power by 400 points, as long as the dark attribute monster in your hand is enough to activate indefinitely, the attack power amplification effect will last, and it will not fall back due to round rotation.
