Chapter 162: The Sunken Lower Town

Fang Yu looked up at the light red that was slowly disappearing in the sky. The square gradually fell silent, the soldiers stopped, the spectators stopped running away, the huge structure on the ground remained motionless, and the people inside crawled out, looking at the sky quietly with a look of bewilderment.

Enchantment, gone......

The alchemists of Alffindor are not at a loss.

Since the Battle of Byrne, this tower that has stood since the time of Noumerin has long since transcended its own existence and has become the sustenance of people's hearts. It was believed that as long as the tower remained, Van Rik would stand – as if it were no longer a vision, a boast, but an objective fact, and everyone believed so.

But now the tower is no different, and the great craftsmen of the Elfindor Council are still in the square, but the barrier is gone. The long-standing peace has left people at a loss and sluggish rather than thinking about what happened in the first place.

The first to react was Ender, who was the first to turn and walk briskly towards the Elfindor Council on the outskirts of the square.

The guards stopped in front of him a little bewildered, and Ender looked at the poor men and only rebuked:

"Get out of the way, as long as you still have your family in the port area, and you don't want them to die in the belly of the fish, just let me go away and go back to your post."

The soldiers looked at each other, but involuntarily separated their way.

Ander then turned around, beckoned to Fang Yuan, and motioned for him to follow. Fang Yu glanced at the square as if time had stood still, picked up Ji Ta, and led the others to follow.

"What shall we do, Vikki?" Zheng Yongzai helped his glasses and asked in a low voice.

"You know to ask me now?" Vikki said angrily, "Follow and have a look." ”

The two followed Fang Yu and the others, and also walked through the crowd.

Finally, there was the lizard sacrifice of Naka-Cuilan, who followed behind everyone without hurrying.

In the distance, Count Ronier watched this happen, but he didn't stop it—in fact, he was still in a state of stupor.

The old man walked quickly to the others and said with a serious face: "Sonam, the Acanthmen are attacking the city, and I suspect that there are ghosts inside the Elffindor Spire!" ”

"Holy," Sonam-Steelbrow, who had been beaten and bruised and swollen, turned around, "I know, it's Korath, the old blacksmith—we're in big trouble this time." ”

"Icestone is self-healing, but it will take at least thirty minutes to start up again with the backup system," Ender is still calm, "but we have to hold on for those thirty minutes, and we have to evacuate the residents of the port area first." ”

"Nope." Count Cillin Sibika shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's too late......"

He said with some fear, and looked straight in the direction of the port area.

There, there is a line of emerald green refraction.

……

When the barrier collapsed, Alyssa actually had a bad premonition.

The pale red curtain of light flickered under the impact of Koras's massive body, and then shattered in her gaze like a collapsing glass wall.

The fish-man god let out a scream, the twelve gigantic and ugly heads resonating in unison with a bloodthirsty desire to kill, and as its cold gaze swept over the shore of the lake, the twin's older sister's heart almost stopped.

She never imagined that there would be such a huge difference between facing this terrifying monster and the feeling of being separated by an enchantment.

For the first time, the terrifying monster crossed the barrier and rushed to the docks, the long trestle breaking into several pieces the size of a toothpick at its feet.

It slammed into Pier 3, and a wave rushed into the port area. The stranded Skame slammed sideways into the steely scales of its chest and abdomen, and the hull let out an overwhelmed scream, and in an instant it shattered and sank into the water in a whirlwind.

A few of the constructs crashed into it like moths to a fire under the control of the craftsmen, but they were like stones thrown into the sea, unable to make any waves.

This enraged Korath, who stood up and spewed two streams of poisonous water and flames from each of its heads, sweeping through the harbor. The soldiers and battle craftsmen on the docks were retreating in panic, but they were instantly caught up in the middle of it, and suddenly there was a scream that cracked the lungs.

At this time, the city guards on the dock saw that they no longer had the fighting spirit, and collapsed on the spot, and they turned around and fled.

Behind them were the elacanthmen emerging from the water, and with their short spears they shot at the soldiers with their backs exposed, and the short spears rained down, and the latter fell like harvested crops.

This sparked further panic, and the port area defense line was shattered in an instant.

The fish whimpered with excitement, and in their ancient and simple memories, their god Korath had led them to victory, just as it is today.

"Koras, Koras!" The fish people screamed, and their voices were automatically translated into a language that Alyssa could understand, but the strange tone made her shudder.

The big cat man and Baggins watched the scene with solemn expressions.

They saw a few echfishmen clad in shells, aquatic plants, and fish bones separating from the water and coming up from the lake, their status clearly revered, and the fishmen around them fell silent and bowed to them.

Those peripheral fish-man slave laborers even crawled down one by one, lying on the ground.

"That's the water occupiers, the sacrifices of the Echnomers, who have the highest status among the fish colonies other than Koras."

Baggins whispered, "Four, big trouble." ”

The lionman looked at him curiously.

Baggins then explained: "Behind a great soothsayer is a clan, which means that at least four clans were involved in the attack, which is not on a scale in ten years. The Echfishmen are also fiercely fighting with each other, and they rarely act in unison, unless someone behind them unites them-"

He paused: "Just like thirteen years ago, the Dragon Worship Sect did. ”

As they watched, the four fish-man soothsayers stopped, raising their bone staff in knee-deep water and chanting words and performing strange dances.

But there was nothing beautiful about the dance, it only made people feel weird and uneasy.

"What evil ritual is that?" Red picked up the scepter and asked coldly, "Can we stop them?" ”

"You can try."

Undeterred, Baggins replied lightly.

But it was at this moment that Alyssa's slightly trembling voice came:

"What's that......"

A green refraction was set off on the surface of the lake.

But it was actually a wave, which started as a wave of one or two meters, but it was rising higher and higher, and soon formed an impermeable wall of water, and the wall was still climbing upwards, and it gradually emitted a chilling rumbling sound.

The three of them looked up at the scene.

"Quick, let Mr. Greystone get out into the woods," Red said suddenly, "There's a tall mangrove over there, we'd better not get the big guy's attention." ”

He had calculated that the wave would flood the high ground here.

Alyssa didn't say a word, turned and ran backwards.

But the tide was a step faster, sweeping across the shore of the lake and across the forest, and Alyssa felt only a tremendous force behind her, as if it was about to sweep her in. But with all her might, she threw the 'dawn' in her hand forward, and a flash of lightning passed through the trunk of a tree there, causing the tall mangrove tree to fall sideways with a loud thud.

The water wave pushed Alyssa forward and slammed into the trunk of the tree, and she snorted, but also seized the opportunity to hold on to the trunk tightly to prevent herself from being swept away by the water. At this time, the 'Dawn' turned into an arc of light and flew back, and Alyssa threw her head back and bit her dagger with a mouthful of teeth.

She watched as the flood rushed forward, with all sorts of debris floating on the surface of the water, and even a few panicked lizards, struggling in the whirlpool, but disappearing in an instant.

The tide continued to move forward, crashing into Mr. Graystone, pushing the latter backwards and overpowering a field of red willows. But it was at this moment that Alyssa saw a glimmer of light from the Guy device on its body, and Attila on it activated the magic furnace in reverse, and the gravity generated steadily pressed the pack beast to the ground.

She couldn't help but rejoice, but fortunately, the big cat man reminded her in time.

And it was at this time that a furry paw reached out, and Alyssa looked up to find that the big cat man had climbed onto the trunk of the tree at some point and was standing there steadily. And Baggins was also on the other side of the tree, squatting on the tree and looking in the direction of the port.

Alyssa thanked the other and climbed up to look behind her. Since they were originally on the high ground, the power of the flood was limited, and after a wave of flooding, the tide quickly receded.

But it's different over the harbor -

Alyssa watched as the raging waves of water poured into the harbor, directly covering one rooftop after another, turning the original street into a flooded country, and countless people were following the flow, not only the guards and craftsmen in the harbor, but also many civilians, and the cries resounded in the sky.

It seemed that in an instant, a quarter of Van Rick disappeared.

Seeing this, the twin's sister looked back with some compassion, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

"Ed, they're still in town." She asked, worried.

"The water won't be in the center of the city for a while, and the terrain is higher over there," the big cat man frowned, he was dressed in heavy armor, and he couldn't use it in this Ze country. Looking at the miserable scene in the distance, he was also powerless, so he only took out his pipe in silence, but he couldn't light it with a few knocks with flint, so he only shook his head and put it back away.

Only then did he comfort: "Ed, they should be fine." ”

But it was at this time that Baggins suddenly turned back to the two of them from the tree and shouted:

"I see Parker and the box."

……

Downtown.

The people of the Elffindor Council stared in amazement at the terrible scene in front of them.

The emerald walls eventually crushed down to form a wave that poured into the lower city, and in an instant a quarter of the city disappeared, and with it countless lives.

This is reminiscent of the Battle of Byrne thirteen years ago, when the Cultists also attacked the city with the Echnocans, but that time, Van Rik did not suffer such a big loss.

"Damn it," the dwarf's bronzed face also showed a hint of horror, and he cursed regretfully, "If I pull them out, I will take out his intestines and hang them alive, not a single one of them—"

"What's the use of saying that," Ander sighed, "let people go and protect the temple of Ori, Roman, and Lord Angina, don't let what happened thirteen years ago happen again, we can't let the people die again." ”

Several craftsmen nodded when they heard this, and immediately took orders to leave.

Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw Pudra moving, and immediately stepped forward and stopped in front of the other party.

The Potions Master was taken aback and looked at him with a gloomy expression: "What? ”

Fang Yu didn't talk nonsense with it, raised his right hand, two blue flashes on the left and one on the right, and two energy angels appeared behind Pudra. And although Pudra is a master craftsman, he is just an alchemist, how can he be his opponent.

Seeing this, the latter's face was panicked, and he subconsciously took a step back and wanted to call the guards. But how could Fang Yu give him this opportunity - he only ordered the Angel of Energy to pierce the Furnace of the opponent with a sword, and the other Angel of Energy elbowed Putra to the lower abdomen.

Pudra snorted and immediately bent down in pain.

This is when the movement here finally attracted everyone's attention.

Sonam was taken aback when he saw this, and said angrily: "Boy, what are you doing! ”

But just as he was about to step forward, Carlin stretched out his axe and stopped his brother: "You idiot, think about what this guy has done. ”

It was only then that Ender turned around and looked at Pudra and shook his head slightly: "Pudra, the guards informed you that only your students had entered the heart hall of Alfantita before. ”

Pudra was spat out of blood, and his eyes rolled and said, "Yes, but how did I hear that there are still people from Xingmen Port." ”

"If no one turns off the defenses in the hall, it is impossible for outsiders to enter the hall through the secret passage. And your students mingling with the lizardmen, this is something that the guards have seen with their own eyes, what else do you have to say? ”

"Even though he was my student, he was just a Chosen One."

"But he has your letter in his hand, and as one of the top seven members of the council, only you have the privilege to let your students enter the central area."

"It's possible that he stole it."

Ander sneered: "Maybe, but you can't get rid of suspicion, what do you have to say, wait until all this is over." But for now, please take the trouble not to leave our field of vision, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Pudra took a breath and replied hatefully, "I am also a member of the council, you can't put me under house arrest, I demand fair treatment." ”

"It's a pity, it's a wartime state now," Ander replied, "This is my decision with the old speaker, and of the three speakers, only the old bronze nose did not express his position, and the vote was over." ”

Pudra fell silent for a moment.

Only the old dwarf muttered, "You didn't tell me either." ”

Ander was extremely dissatisfied with him, and did not look at him, only glanced back at Fang Yuan, and nodded approvingly to him.

It seems that everyone has only noticed this 'son of the stars', and the performance of this young man in the previous game was enough to surprise anyone. In comparison, Rollin, who was nominated by Count Cillin-Sbicca, was simply pale.

Count Cillin-Sbicca himself also looked at Fang Yu with some silence.

But Fang Yu himself didn't feel the slightest sense of self-satisfaction.

He looked at Pudra who had fallen to the ground, but remained silent. He was the one who watched Rollin and the Shadow Throne, but he didn't expect that there would be another ghost within the Elffindor Council. He had been suspicious of the Potions Master before, but unfortunately it came too late—

He looked back at the lower part of Zeguo and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the craftsmen were able to remain calm at this critical moment, and soon issued one order after another—their task was nothing more than two things, one was to further evacuate the crowd, and the other was to stop Koras's advance.

But after all, the Elffindor Council is just an alchemist alliance, not an adventurer's guild, and after losing the support of the Elffindor Spire, the only thing that the craftsmen can mobilize is just more than a hundred and so war craftsmen of all sizes in the combat craftsman department.

But the vast majority of these people are newcomers who have no combat experience, and the rest of them can actually participate in the war less than one-third.

And it was this third that was also led by the two master craftsmen of the combat craftsman department to go to the battlefield first-

The city guards are no longer reliable, not to mention that Count Ronier has completely lost his ability to command, looking like he is lost and waiting for death. Moreover, during the previous battle, most of the 'Iron Curtain' structures of the city guards were transferred to the square, and now that the road to the lower city has been destroyed, these giant structures are trapped in this place.

Without heavy equipment, how could the soldiers fight Korath with flesh and blood alone?

What's more, the long-term peace has long consumed their only combat effectiveness, not to mention facing Koras, even if they face the Ecanthus, I am afraid that the end will be dismal.

Apparently aware of this, the crowd stopped focusing on the city guards. At this time, with the joint support of Falais and Carlin Steeleyebrow, Ender made a bold decision to cooperate with Stargate Port-

After all, compared to Ronier, these earthlings are obviously much more reliable.

For the choice of craftsmen, Su Changfeng was not surprised.

He just glanced at Fang Yuan, and couldn't help but think of what the other party and his daughter had been investigating—unfortunately, the Dragon Worshippers were obviously even deeper hidden than they imagined. Who would have thought that one of the seven most powerful members of the Elffindor Council would be a dragon worshipper?

Even he couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do.

He listened silently to everyone's descriptions, and without prevarication, he replied directly: "Everyone, our nearest warship is within a quarter of an hour's journey. It would be difficult to stop Kolath for half an hour, but a quarter of an hour shouldn't be a problem. ”

He pointed to the unfolded map and said, "At the moment Korath should be following this route, ahead of which is the temple of the Romanes, where there are many resurrected people, and we must do everything possible to stop it before it." ”

Su Changfeng raised his head and looked at everyone: "In addition, against an opponent of the level of Koras, the number is meaningless, and we must gather our strongest group of people." Therefore, I, along with the two Combat Craftsman Chiefs of your Alliance, should be responsible for facing the enemy head-on, and as for the others—"

He paused: "The main task is to stop the Echdrites and prevent them from causing further damage in the city. ”

"Finally," he added, "we must rely on the power of the adventurers when the city guards are unreliable, and it will take a man of prestige to gather the adventurers in the square." It is better for this person to be the Drafter, because as far as I know, the Drafters are the vast majority of adventurers in the South. ”

People's eyes subconsciously looked at Fang Yuan.

As the winner of the just-concluded contest, the son of the stars, and at the same time the identity of the Holy Chosen, except for him.

Who else is better than the job?

But Fang Yu frowned.

Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "What about Rollin, has anyone seen him?" ”

This question made everyone stunned.
