Chapter 7, Chapter 8: Despair and Hope
Hao had never been so at ease as he is now, even when he was still studying in Illuvita's manor, he was often worried, because it was not his home, not his tribe, not his people, that life was not earned by his own ability, everything was so lucky, so lucky that he thought it was all just a dream.
No matter how beautiful the dream is, there will be a day when it will wake up, and Hao really knows how miserable human beings are in this desolate continent, and this misery is engraved in his memory, engraved in his mind, and engraved in his soul, so he is really afraid, afraid of losing all this.
After leaving the manor, on this desolate continent, Hao as a mortal, a person without an organization to rely on, a simple human being, his insecurity was even more serious, and then Hao trained his clansmen in the refugee camp, and he planned to enter the border of the Elven Empire, but he encountered a drastic change within the Elf Empire, and the lower plane forces appeared, so he led everyone to start a series of runs, even if he came to the Plant Alliance, the uneasiness in his heart still did not stop for a while.
It was only at this time that Hao finally felt a little at ease, because he finally had the foundation to settle down a little bit on this desolate continent, a spiritual magician, and even a magic tower for a hidden holy magician, and this foundation was not small.
From the point of view of strength, a spirit-level magician, as long as it is not the true body of the saint-rank gods, even the clones of the saint-rank gods may not be able to kill them, and it is absolutely no problem to escape.
The status of the law system is much higher than that of the war system, which is not unreasonable, although the magic tower of the spirit magician does not represent the spirit magician itself, but the magic tower that can load a spirit magician to perform legendary magic, its quality is rare in the world, this magic tower not only has a subsidiary half-plane, but also an attached defensive formation, as well as an attached legendary magic (the gate of annihilation, charging), at the same time, Ay also found more than a dozen controllable magic tower battlefield magic in the control core of the magic tower, although these spells need to be actively cast, but as long as the magic tower energy pool is not empty, Ay can cast a large number of legendary and demigod-level magic, and the power of these magic is amplified by the magic tower, and it is likely to be more powerful than the authentic legendary and demigod magician who can cast it out of thin air.
Such a top-level magic tower that can fly in the air, can jump in the plane, is self-sufficient in the attached plane, has defensive buildings to resist a large number of enemy troops, and has the magic protection of the nirvana hole card, has the ability to automatically draw energy from the elemental plane, and can be charged with spirit stones at critical moments。
That's the taste of peace of mind.
Moreover, this spiritual level magic tower is not only a shelter, it is itself a collection of mage's combat arsenal, academy, research institute, and magic amplification device.
In the few hours that Hao flew towards the main border city of the magic tower, he already had a complete magic tower construction strategy in his mind, but this required enough spirit stones, various precious minerals, a large number of logistics personnel, and enough magicians and magic apprentices, in the construction of the magic tower designed by Hao, at least three attached small magic towers should be built, and a large number of golem legions including diamond golems should be built at the same time, at least one hundred magic apprentices and at least ten regular magicians are needed, which can be regarded as barely a rough construction.
In Hao's thoughts, with this golden start, the next road will be much easier, whether it is to find the clues of the human city first, or to dig out the relics of the Venerable first, he has the spare strength to lay out and plan, and it is not the embarrassment and delusion at the beginning, there is no possibility of even realizing it, but now there is a certain room for manipulation.
Maybe......
It is possible to provoke several alliances, and even some wars of the Holy Throne, especially those close to the area of the Venerable One's legacy, and then take advantage of it......
Hao thought so.
At this moment, Ai Yi screamed, and woke Hao up from his contemplation, and then he saw a large amount of gunpowder smoke in the distance, as well as a large amount of green aura, this green aura, dense like ants, spread all over the land, from dozens of kilometers away to the main border city, from the sky, a city wall of the main border city has completely collapsed, the magic protection aura has also been extinguished, and the magic tower in the city still retains the spiritual light, but it is being attacked by the dense underworld camp undead.
The main border city has fallen, or is beginning to fall, and it is only a matter of time before it completely falls.
Hao You thought that the underworld camp would be very strong, and he would crush the plant alliance, but this process is estimated to be calculated over the years, and five years is the time he expected, but in fact, let alone five years, he really started to contact the underworld camp until now, and it has not been five months, and the main border city has been breached, this is a border defense area, generally speaking, there are main army guards, and there are also border defense positions, so it is easily breached, Hao can imagine that the next underworld camp will drive straight in, and it will look like a broken bamboo, this is a catastrophe for the plant alliance, until he goes to the capital of the plant alliance, which may once again slightly resist the offensive of the underworld camp.
Hao immediately said to Ai Yi: "Be careful, open all the protection of the magic tower, this underworld camp legion can break the protection of the main city so quickly, it is impossible that there are no high-level undead, and there may be a lot of legendary-level law undead." ”
Hearing this, Ai Yi immediately activated the additional protection system of the magic tower, and immediately, outside the floating magic array outside the magic tower, there were several more layers of magic arrays that were visible to the naked eye, wrapping the magic tower tightly, and then Ai Yi manipulated the magic tower to go towards the location marked by Hao, these are several large merchant group spirit stone inventory points that Hao had found in advance, as well as the vault points of the Plant Alliance Bank.
Anyway, this city is about to be occupied by the underworld camp, and everything here will become the property of the underworld camp, in this case, before that, they snatched some spirit stone materials and the like from the hands of the lower plane forces, which can actually be regarded as robbing the enemy, right?
When Ay thought of this, her heart immediately relaxed, and then her eyes were shining, and everything that was shiny gold belonged to her......
In the Marquis Mansion on the Border of the Main City, the Marquis of the Philip Frontier stood on the teleportation array with a pale face, and the entire teleportation array did not light up with any magical light, there is no doubt that the teleportation array at the other end of the magic array has been destroyed, perhaps worse, such as a super-large plane anchor, etc., which has blocked the teleportation of the entire city......
It happened very suddenly, although the underworld camp had surrounded the main city with countless undead before, but this border main city is not vegetarian, there are border legions in the main city, there are two legendary warriors, four high-level magicians, five large and small magic towers, and there is also a magic protection layer in the main city, all of which add up, unless there is a mole, or the other party forcibly breaks the city with more than five times the strength, otherwise it will be ...... in a short period of time It can be defended for at least a few years.
But in the early hours of this morning, there was a change in the underworld camp, several soul furnaces appeared outside the city out of thin air, and then this soul furnace used the soul in the furnace as a weapon at any cost, and the resentful soul residue that had been tortured into a monster kept hitting a city wall, this attack made the defending army stunned, and all the defending soldiers who were contaminated by these residues were immediately burned into green ashes in the miserable howl, and these residues had a strong pollution, and the magic protection array was immediately contaminated, and before the magician went to repair, the underworld camp began to attack the city with countless undead, in less than ten minutesThe walls were breached.
Ben came to this point, with the help of the two legendary warriors in the city, plus the magic tower of the high-level magician, it was still possible to plug the gap, but in the underworld camp, a demigod-level death sickle walker appeared, it can be invisible, and at the same time it has strong physical resistance, even if the high-level magic weapon held by the legendary warrior hits it, it only receives slight damage.
At the same time, its touch attack is regarded as high-level withering magic, which can directly corrode flesh and even soul, and the Death Scythe it holds can directly attack the soul of the legendary warrior, ignoring the protective layer of fighting spirit, and in just two rounds of fighting, the two legendary warriors were killed, and then although several magic towers worked together to force back this demigod-level Death Scythe, but the decline has been achieved, and the entire city no longer has legendary combat power.
Then time continued to pass, and by noon now, two magic towers had fallen, and the remaining cities had also been invaded by a large number of undead, and at the same time, the rest of the magic towers were also divided and besieged one by one, and the Marquis of Philip could not return to his own magic tower, and that magic tower was one of the fallen ones.
Behind the Marquis of Filip, his daughter Nianzhi, his stepwife, and his servants all looked at him with pale faces, and at this time, the Marquis of Filip's face was still calm, although his heart was about to despair, he still immediately said: "Oliver, prepare the magic carriage, the guards are immediately fully armed, and everyone follows me to Lord Robin's magic tower......"
But before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a shocking explosion in the distance, and a huge explosion was even transmitted to the marquis's mansion, and everyone subconsciously bowed down, and their eyes were closed, and when they came back to their senses again, and looked in that direction, they saw countless lights rising from the ground, and then fire and smoke.
“...... Go to Sir Alans's magic tower!" said the Marquis of Philip with a blue face, the explosion just now was clearly the result of the magician directly detonating the magic tower under his control, and that direction was the magic tower of Lord Robin, who had a good relationship with him.
The Filly Frontier Marquis was almost sure that the entire city had been locked by the oversized plane anchor, and all teleportation magic had been turned off, and even if they went to a certain magic tower, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the city.
But what if you don't go to the Magic Tower?
The magic tower is the most heavily defended place, and as a high-level magician, even if he goes to someone else's magic tower, as long as the other party gives him a certain share of the right to use it, his combat power will increase several times, and now it is impossible, he can only take one step at a time.
At the moment, everyone acted according to the orders of the Frontier Marquis of Fili, after all, he was a high-level magician, and he was also a frontier marquis, and at this time he was still very authoritative, no one dared to make a mistake, hundreds of guards were neatly dressed in their own arms, among them, the captain and the deputy captain were all extraordinary warriors, the captain was a second-order warrior, and the deputy captain was a first-order warrior, they led other guards, surrounded the marquis's family and the servants who had no combat effectiveness in the center, and then walked towards another magic tower.
But the situation was worse than expected, less than five minutes after everyone left the Marquis's Palace, they were attacked by thousands of ghouls on a street, although these ghouls were all undead, even the most ordinary guards could be a dozen, but thousands of ghouls rushed in, and more than two hundred people were immediately surrounded in the street.
Filip Frontier Marquis immediately used group attack magic, killing hundreds of ghouls in one wave, but this is useless, the number of thousands of ghouls is not afraid of these at all, Filip Frontier Marquis immediately understood his mistake, in this number of battlefields, he is not a legendary magician, he uses attack magic but is mentally retarded, and at the moment he immediately used all kinds of blessing magic on his guards, strength, speed, reflexes, defense, etc.
At this moment, although there were only a hundred guards, they forcibly opened a gap in the encirclement of ghouls, but there were a large number of stitching monsters and rotting corpse ghosts, the number seemed to be endless, and it was really difficult to move an inch, even if there was a magic of the Philippe border marquis, everyone fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the hall of the mining union.
The mining union has always been rich, and the races of the mining union are basically grumpy races, there are hundreds of dwarves and dwarf branches here, as well as hundreds of plant vein races, they rely on a large number of heavy weapons in the union to defend the hall, and for a time they actually blocked the undead group out of the hall.
At this time, the Fille Frontier Marquis brought more than 200 people to join the union hall, although only more than 100 people had combat effectiveness, and the rest were maids, servants, butlers, grooms, etc., but with the existence of the high-level magician of the Philippe Frontier Marquis, it also added a powerful boost, and for a while, everyone confronted the group of undead outside the hall.
Time was deflected, at noon, everyone hastily ate some dry food, and there were more and more undead outside the street, and a large number of high-level undead appeared, black warriors, death knights, death sickles, fate spider girls, etc., just these, it made Filip Frontier Hou's face pale.
"Perhaps, my fate ends here, but my daughter ...... You must let her live, and you will be ...... of your thoughts," Philip muttered to himself.
Nianzhi was beside him, and when she heard her father's whisper, she wanted to cry inexplicably.
Suddenly, at this moment, a dwarf shouted loudly, and the face of the Philippe Frontier Marquis changed violently, and immediately asked people what was going on, and after less than a minute, the guard came panting and said loudly to the Philippe Frontier Hou, "There are reinforcements...... Reinforcements are coming from the air!!"
Filip Frontier Hou's face changed constantly, he was a high-level member of the Alliance, and naturally knew that there was no so-called air force in the Plant Alliance, and the main army was mainly based on the characteristic plant weapons of the plant lineage, how could it come from the air?
Immediately, he said, "I'll see it myself!"
At that moment, the Philippe border Hou ran directly to the top of the hall of the mining union, and then he saw a super large floating magic tower flying in the direction of the side of the mining union, and many flying undead were besieging this floating magic tower, but the magic of this floating magic tower seemed to be endless, and these undead were all blown up in mid-air.
The Philippe Frontier Marquis immediately pulled over a dwarf and said, "What's over there...... I mean the more important buildings!"
The dwarf thought for a moment and said, "The Mining Union's stockpile?"
The Marquis of Philip looked at the floating magic tower carefully, and repeatedly confirmed that the magic runes on it were not netherworld runes, and immediately he said categorically: "The guards come with me, let's go to the mining union inventory warehouse, and ...... If you want to live, come with me, and we will fight our way out!!"
As he spoke, the Ferno Frontier Marquis didn't care about how the dwarves struggled, and he immediately gathered his own escort team, guarding his daughter, family, and servants who were willing to follow him, and headed directly out of the hall, and just behind the group of Philip Frontier Marquis, more than a hundred armed dwarves followed.
Anyone can see that sooner or later this place will be a place of death, and although it is dangerous to go out now, this is a glimmer of life, and those who have the heart to fight are all following the Philippe border at this moment.
