Designing, experimenting, and manufacturing in hell, and assembling it on earth, this is the fastest way to complete the construction of the magic circle. But this battle is not enough for the magic array, and there is another protagonist missing from the stage: the Terrasqui Behemoth.

Fei Qi sent the Knights of Hell and the students of the School of Magic to search the mountains and valleys, plains and forests within and outside the empire, using teleportation circles, but found nothing. The huge monster, with its body like a small mountain, constantly causes miniature earthquakes when it walks, but it always hides. This was true after the first and second night of the Bloody Meteor, once hiding in the sea and the other disappearing on land.

If you can find the Terrasquay Behemoth in advance, you can set it up before it can threaten targets in the Empire. After the persuasion of the old man, Feige reweighed the weight between "defeating the behemoth in front of everyone to gain a lot of prestige" and "reducing the impact of the battle on the empire", and decided to focus on safety, first reduce losses, and then consider profits. He now prefers to find a secluded place, or to fight Terrasquet on the territory of a potential opponent, rather than tearing down the city of Tawu Port to a flat ground.

Terrasquier was nowhere to be found, and no trace of other second-world monsters was seen, and no one knew where they had hid. This unusual calm gave Feige a sense of impending a storm, and the dull depression might be followed by a stormy outburst. After fifteen days of searching, Fitch halted the reconnaissance and called back all the students of the Knights of Hell and the School of Magic. Only when the fingers are withdrawn and clenched into a fist can they be more explosive when they are wielded.

Gathering his commanders and thinkers, Feige takes them to meet with Hydes to discuss how to deal with Terrasqui. The sea monster Haydes was badly wounded in the last battle, and even though Fitch mobilized enough food and medicine for it with the power of the country, it only recovered to ninety percent.

"I'm still warning of the direction of the sea. Hydes bowed his head in front of Feige, his tone cautious. "I haven't heard from any sea creatures yet, and I suspect it's not in the sea at all. I can assure you that the Terrasquier Behemoth will not launch a successful raid from the water. ”

Feige looked at the scars all over Hydes' body, bowed slightly, and said, "I hope that the Terrasqui Behemoth does not come from the sea, because my magic array cannot be arranged on the sea, and my navy is vulnerable in front of the Behemoth." The sea is up to you, and if it comes, you find a way to lure it to the north of the city and from there to the shore. If possible, don't provoke it. When it comes ashore, I'll take over. ”

"I was cruising the coast when I saw the magic circle over there. Haydes said, "I don't know anything about magic, but I'm sure of one thing: the magic array that a student of the magic school can set up can't have any effect on the Terrasquet Behemoth. Let me beat it up and lead it to the depths of the ocean!"

"The guys in the second world are coming for me, and Terrasqui is their best chance to defeat me, and you can't lead it away. Feige shook his head and persuaded, "According to my plan, it is better to use magic instead of hand-to-hand combat against Terrasqui." If you do too much damage to it, it will go completely berserk, and I won't be able to control the situation at that point. ”

"Well, I'll follow your plan. Hydes nodded, turned back to his neck, and licked the scar on his belly.

The location of the magic array in the north was the result of the brainstorming of the people. On the one hand, it is relatively open and easy to walk, and it is the closest direction to the workshop park. Entering through the wide gap between the two hills to the north is to plunge headlong into the Empire's industrial base, and from here, turning west is the School of Magic and the Knights of Hell camp. If these two places can be washed away, they will be able to rush up to the palace from the side hillside, completely destroy the supreme symbol of the emperor's power, and plunge the entire city and country into fear.

It's not impossible to get through from the south and west, after all, the Terrasquet Behemoth is like an invincible tank, and obstacles can be broken and broken through along the way. However, to the south is a large city area, and there are fortress estates left over from the aristocratic era, so it is easy to place siege weapons that may slow down the behemoths. There are rolling hills to the west, and it will be awkward to need to go around a few more mountains to see the front of the palace. And judging from the arrangement of those in the second world, the north is also their first choice.

The behemoth trap circle was set up in the north, and Feige himself made the bait, waiting for Terrasqui to arrive. Carrying out such large-scale construction outside the city, Hydes can see it swimming in the sea, and the residents of Tawu Harbor City on land will not miss it. To avoid rumors, Fitch asked Intelligence Secretary Maithers to post a proclamation stating that it was a defensive magic circle used to resist the Scarlet Meteor Night and monsters.

All the students of the magic school, plus the graduates of the working group, gathered together and built this magic circle day and night. Even the production of toy wands in the magic workshop has stopped, and the Shani spirit engraver continues to make rune plates to supply the construction. Everyone can see that the empire can only complete the construction of a magic array in front of it even if it uses all its production capacity, and everyone can't help but have a question in their hearts: what if ......

"What would you do if Terrasquet came from another direction, just not north of the city?"

It's one thing to think about this question, it's quite another to ask Feige about it, not everyone has the courage to question His Majesty the Emperor. Xia Ni didn't have any worries about this at all, she found an occasion where it was just the two of them and asked, "Feiqi, when you said that you had a way to lure the Terrasqui Behemoth to the north of the city, your body language was very unconfident. Isn't it ......"

"I should have started building this magic array earlier, and it would have been much better if it had been arranged in key positions in all four directions. Fei Qi said: "That magic array in the north of the city is absolutely not enough, and I really don't have much confidence in seducing Terrasque. ”

Xia Ni sighed and said sadly, "If you come from the south or the west, then there will be a lot of deaths in this battle, right?"

"If you can find the traces of the Terrasqui Behemoth in advance, then you can also arrange for evacuation. I had the team secretly prepare emergency food and medicine in several directions, all bought from other places at high prices through smuggling and the black market. Feiqi said: "Only when Terrasqui appears, can I evacuate in a targeted manner, I can't because of this threat, the days will not be over, and the entire Talwugang will become an empty city! ”

"It's so big, why did it suddenly appear?"

"Dig into the ground. "The second time the Scarlet Meteor was damaged, Terrasqui dug a big hole in the ground and left after being hurt by your paralyzing vision - unfortunately the hole quickly collapsed completely, and it was impossible to track. If it is going to come, it can dig into the ground, but it is against its nature. Terrasqui was supposed to have a natural temperament and a vicious and aggressive character, and he didn't have strategic thinking. It suffered from here, and if it hadn't dealt with you at the time, it wouldn't have come here to cause trouble afterwards. ”

Shani understood: "So, if Terrasquet raids Tawu Port City directly from the underground, then it is possible that it will be manipulated?"

Feiqi nodded and said, "I have sent the Phantom Serpent Koktar to patrol the underground day and night to guard against a surprise attack from underground. But its speed is fixed, so it can't be too far away from me, otherwise it won't have the effect of taking care of all directions. Its patrol only alerted me, but it was difficult to leave enough time for evacuation. The casualties this time are likely to be large, even larger than the last one. ”

"Bigger than last time?" this ......" Shani couldn't figure it out. The last time Terrasquier came from the sea, only Hydes was able to cause him a little trouble. And this time Feige was there, his combat power far surpassed that of Hydes, and he had arranged the magic array in advance, how could he suffer even greater losses? She asked Feige for an answer, but she couldn't get it.

"One of the things you do during this time is to show a feeling of nervousness and absent-mindedness, and it is better to become irritable and irritable, and it is okay to reprimand the servant. "At the same time, you have the idea of going to the West Summer's Manor for a while, and you have prepared the suitcase, just like you want to do a long journey. ”

"I can do it, but why is that?"

"Because I only have one magic circle. Feige gave her a blank answer.

There is only one magic circle, only one magic school, and only one Hell Knights. It may be considered powerful in the eyes of other kings to have all three, but Feige's ambitions go far beyond that. His goal is to have a world plus a creator god, and the current empire is only famous, but it is actually only the size of a city-state, and the power that can be mobilized is too small.

If Terrasqui can be solved, then it will usher in a valuable period of development for the empire. Terrasqui is already the strongest monster, and being able to defeat it will effectively stop the attacks of other monsters**. Even if there is a bloody meteor night, even if the second world loses its mind and attacks blindly, this time the experience and ability can be used in the future battles, at least in terms of morale, the empire will not be afraid anymore.

If Terrasqui can be solved, then the prestige of the Revy Magic Empire in the entire Yongli Continent will be high enough, but anyone who is worried about the return of the Scarlet Meteor Night will envy the Magic Empire's ability to stop fighting and defending. The word empire is not favored in the Yongli Continent, especially the "Levi Empire", the memory it leaves to the world is backward and stubborn, and it is the history of being banned by the goddess. However, the essence of the state is the result of individuals giving up some of their own interests and forming a society with a common will with more people when they want to avoid threats that they cannot cope with. If Feige can withstand the Scarlet Meteor and Terrasquia, then he can represent a common will, and the Empire can be an option.

If you can solve Terrasque......

There are so many gains to be gained from winning that it only says one thing: there is just as much risk of defeat. There is no need to go into details, just one thing: the only way to deal with the Terrasqui Behemoth is the magic array under construction. It's like using only one rope to lift a thousand pounds of weight, even if it's a magic rope, it's not safe!

So, very naturally, Feige strengthened the defense of the magic array construction site in the north of the city. The Knights of Hell moved over the entire area, building fortifications near the magic circle, setting up a cordon, and arranging patrol and reconnaissance posts. Since the city walls and castles are meaningless in front of the Terrasquet behemoth, these fortifications are designed according to the standard of "changing places with one shot", and the function of hiding is greater than attacking. Besides, these buildings are mainly designed to defend against people from the second world who will cause trouble. In the past, three people could be sent to "pee on wild dogs" in urban areas, can't there be more to carry out "self-explosion attacks"?

Heavy troops were deployed to the north of the city, and the west and south of the city were handed over to the Imperial Guard. This army, which was inherited from the time of the United Kingdom of Hoya, lost most of the nobles and knights, and its combat effectiveness decreased a lot, and it is currently mainly composed of the former private soldiers of the Hall family. Later, some families who chose to surrender and surrender under the Feige offensive had to give up their private armies, and most of them were also absorbed by the Imperial Guard. This army, which Fei Qi positioned as the Territorial Defense Force, encountered a tough battle, and it was ranked behind His Majesty the Emperor and the Knights of Hell, and there was basically no possibility of playing. Facing the Terrasquet Behemoth is probably the only chance for them to gnaw hard bones.

On the eastern seas is the Imperial Navy, which has a simpler mission: reconnaissance and evacuation. Building ships for the navy was a costly and long-term project, and the Empire could not spare any effort in this area. Moreover, the empire's long-distance transportation can be solved by teleportation arrays, and the dependence on sea transportation is very low, which also leads to a significant decrease in the importance of the navy. If the Terrasqui Behemoth comes from land this time, then the ships in the harbor can help transport some citizens to hide at sea, and the Hydes Sea Monster will protect them, which is the only place where the Imperial Navy can help.

The construction site of the magic array is brightly lit even in the middle of the night, and the firewood and ointment used for lighting every day are a lot of money. The porters who are constantly coming in and out of the construction site can more or less bring out some news, which is constantly passed on to the ears of the residents of Tawu Port City. For example, when the magicians were tired, His Majesty the Emperor poured medicine on them and let them continue to work. For example, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Devil, the Necromancy, and the Iron Figures, and used their non-fatigue characteristics to intensify the construction, but this would bring an atmosphere of desecration and affect the life of those workers.

There are a lot of things that no one believes, but the price of magic-related materials has skyrocketed, which is something that everyone knows. His Majesty the Emperor is already giving IOUs to some merchants. Although these IOUs will be paid in a few days, this is a sign that the power of the empire has been used to the limit, and if it is not successful, it will be a good thing. Thankfully, throughout the construction period, the Knights of Hell did their duty, thwarting three attempts to ignite, sabotage, and assassinate, ensuring that the magic circle was successfully completed.

On that day, Feiqi opened the magic array, and powerful spatial energy fluctuations spread in all directions like a storm, and everyone felt that their bodies were being pulled by mysterious forces from all directions, and the scenery that could be seen by their eyes was distorted, displaced, torn and atomized to varying degrees. Even people who don't know spells have felt what mana fluctuations are for the first time. Fortunately, this phenomenon soon ended, everything became stable again, and everyone saw a huge shroud appear steadily over the magic array.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has succeeded...... everyone said so, but no one was 100% confident.

The construction of the second magic circle began in the west of the city, next to the imperial palace, but the construction progress was five or six times slower than before. Maybe the magicians are at their limit, or maybe the treasury is at its limit. The latter is more likely, as the number of IOUs increases. Everyone knows that the empire has done its best, so no one refuses to accept IOUs.

After that, the enemy came from the north, but not the Terrasqui Behemoth.

It comes from the south.
