Chapter 178: Battle of the Star Gate V

"There's something going on over there at the port." Xing suddenly walked up from below the deck, came to Fang Yuan's side, and spoke.

Fang Plover glanced at him in some surprise and turned his gaze in the direction of the harbor area, the light of the torches moving in the darkness in that direction - the Silver Spear and the Silver Vislan defense line was retreating, but that was their plan. "What's wrong, Mr. Lavac?" He asked.

"It's the Shadow Man," Xing drew his sword from behind him with his magic gauntlet, "I'll go and help, or they'll suffer heavy casualties, and if it's time you don't have to wait for me, I'll be on the other boat." ”

Fang Yu bowed his head silently, under the premeditated arrangement of the Crow's Claw Temple, it was not surprising that the shadowmen had infiltrated Gula Harbor in large numbers. But he opened his mouth, and he stopped talking.

Xing looked at Fang Yu's expression, as if he guessed what he wanted to say, and said, "You also want to go to the front line to have a look?" ”

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

"Do you still have a construct?"

Fang Yu shook his head, this time he was really a clever woman who couldn't cook without rice, the lancers, the scourge, the fire djinn, the lurker and the banshee, and even the Orphin Twins at the bottom of the box were sent out.

But good steel is used on the blade, and the construction of the battle craftsman was supposed to be used at this time, although it is a pity, but it is understandable.

The Seven Seas Traveler still had some stock in its warehouse, including even a few Dragon Hunters that he hadn't brought out, but they weren't in his hands and wouldn't be of any use. The only thing left of his information crystal was a semi-finished product—the work he had won at the Craftsman's Competition, but had not been used since he left Van Rik—and he had neither the time nor the money to complete it.

It had now been reduced to a toy for Nini, and he couldn't count on anything to do with an unfinished piece.

Xing suddenly asked, "Do you know about nightmare creatures?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned, of course he knew that in the mouth of the patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria, the shadow man was a nightmare, and the owner of the Holy Bow Peak, An Luoser, had also said something similar.

"It's a Nightmare Furnace," Star tossed an object, "a bit like our Magic Furnace, the Core Crystal, but with some differences, it generates power by annihilating matter and magic. ”

Fang Yu subconsciously took over the black shadow that was thrown over, and his hand sank, only to realize that he was catching a rather peculiar object.

It was spherical, but not a clockwork elf, but an oval shape, like a giant egg. Its shell was covered in spiral-like textures that shimmered with a dull metallic sheen, but it was impossible to tell which alloy it was.

It didn't seem like it was a product of this world, at least as an alchemist, Fang Yu thought he could recognize most of Aitalia's minerals, but none of them felt like it.

Even the texture on it, which can be thought of as something like Attaria's runes and ether roads, is completely out of line with common sense, at least Fang Yu has never seen such a strange pattern.

But he vaguely felt a little familiar, as if he had seen something similar somewhere, the peculiar shape and pattern, was gradually sketching an outline in his mind—

It was the pitch-black space of the tower, and a group of stars hanging in the space arranged side by side. The stars were of course different from the one in his hand, but there were some similarities in their texture, texture, and style.

He subconsciously flipped the thing in his hand over, and found that there were eight sharp mechanical feet hanging from the belly of the egg near the air chamber. It undoubtedly has the shape of a construct, mechanical components, transmissions, everything, but it is by no means in the style of Aitarian alchemy.

What is it? Fang Plover was a little surprised, how could it be so similar to those strange constructs in the Tower of the End of Summer?

"It's ...... Constructs? ”

Star shook his head, "No, it's a Nightmare Furnace creature, similar to the living construct of this world," he gestured to the location of his heart, "The Nightmare Furnace is their heart, they have their own soul and intelligence, you can think of them as a species, not a creation." ”

"I've never heard of such strange creatures."

"Because they really don't exist in Aitalia."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned again: "Then they come from ......?" ”

Xing pulled out an information crystal from his pocket, "There's a battle next, you need to familiarize yourself with these things, they are still a little different from your flexible build." ”

"I can control ...... This thing? ”

"It wasn't alive when it was alive, of course, but it's dead now, just a dead thing," Star said, "It's still a construct, and it's also fitted with nucleos, but remember to cut them off from the Nightmare Furnace before then—"

As he spoke, he threw the information crystal over.

Fang Yu grabbed the crystal and couldn't help but look over and over at the 'Nightmare Furnace Creature' in his hand, the alchemist was not uncurious, especially for the structure that he had never seen before.

He even opened the craftsman system, preparing to infiltrate the interior of its structure - Fang Yu vaguely felt a hint of blockage as the spiritual power passed through the shell.

It seemed that the shell of this thing had a certain effect on the invasion of spiritual forces, and he believed that this ability might be even stronger while it was alive.

In other words, it can prevent the intervention and manipulation of external spiritual power, and if an alchemist has such an ability, he is not afraid that his own construction will be taken away by others, Fang Yu only knows that some high-level flexible construction has such an ability, but he has only heard of it and has never seen it.

He continued to look down, and saw what the stars called their 'heart', the core of the Nightmare Furnace.

Then he was taken aback.

Because I've seen this so-called Nightmare Furnace Core before......

It was a gray crystal set in the center, with many tiny lines and pipes attached to it, and it had been highly modified from the natural crystal that Aitalia used directly.

"This ......"

Fang Yu was so surprised that he could barely speak.

Isn't this the stuff on the dragon hunter, he never knew how to use it, and even removed these 'nightmare furnaces' from the dragon hunter and replaced them with normal core crystals.

Is this a nightmare furnace?

Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head, wanting to ask Xing what was going on. But after seeing that the other party dropped that sentence, he didn't pay attention to him, but jumped straight to the other ships and went in the direction of the port.

Hey, wait......

How could this man be so irresponsible? Fang Plover is confused, dragon hunters are also nightmare furnace creatures?

But how should he control this thing? He had tried more than once how to get the dragon hunter moving, but in the end he chose to give up, and the magic injected did not react at all to the dragon hunter's peculiar core.

Star asked him to cut off the connection between the Nightmare Furnace creature and the Nightmare Furnace, but how did he make it move if he cut off the connection? Not to mention, he didn't even know how to inject magic.

Fang Yu subconsciously injected some magic into the gray crystal, originally holding on to the hopeless possibility, but he didn't expect that the next moment, his eyes widened and he found that a miracle was born.

The gray crystal lit up, and the magic flowed down the pipes and ethers connected to the crystal to the corpse's limbs, and a red light lit up directly in front of the egg.

The red light was familiar to him, wasn't it exactly the same as the dragon hunter?

And at this moment, Fang Yu suddenly saw an incomparably strong light emitted from the point in the crystal, and gradually revealed layers of light purple magic circles from it.

He also recognized those magic circles, it was the 'starlight' in the captain's mouth, Fang Yu not only recognized it, but even designed the lancer on the basis of this magic circle with Miss Tata.

As if he had blessed his soul, he subconsciously intervened his spiritual power in it, and stopped the generation of the layers of magic circles with a single thought, causing the crystal to disappear again.

Star asked him to cut off the connection between the Nightmare Furnace creatures and the Nightmare Furnace, which should be what he was talking about, right?

But a trace of confusion flashed in Fang Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the structure in his hand.

Did Star let him directly control these 'Furnace Creatures', it wasn't impossible, he had already achieved it once with the Dragon Hunter.

But isn't this contrary to the original intent of the 'Starlight' circle? He couldn't find a suitable medium, and he couldn't re-light the core of the dragon hunter's furnace, so he had to use this stupid method.

But Xing seems to have successfully transformed this gray crystal, why did he still use such a backward method? Isn't it good to use the Astral Circle directly?

Fang Yuan's mind moved, and he realized that he might be able to try, the gray crystal could accept his command input, then maybe he could control the Nightmare Furnace.

He gently placed the thing on the deck, then loosened his grip on the Grey Crystal and gave a command:

"Take a turn."

The red light lit up, and the thing deftly spun around in front of Fang Ou.

"Hey, what is this?" Sky Blue's voice was coming from behind him in a little surprise, "Brother Ed, is it dancing?" ”

It's just that Fang Yu didn't have the heart to answer her at all, but turned back a little stiffly and glanced at our poet miss.

"Brother Ed......?"

It scared Tianlan a lot.

However, Fang Yu seemed to be completely out of sight, and countless questions were emerging in his mind......

This is truly a starlight circle......

Then the dragon hunter and it should be the same kind of structure.

What do they have to do with the stars in the Summer Tower?

The Noumerin Elves have encountered ...... Or did you create these things?

What does the Nightmare Furnace have to do with Nightmare creatures?

Fang Yu was full of suspicion.

He stood on the deck of the Brig Wave Breaker for a moment, and he was a little stunned.

……

"Jump into the sea, jump straight down!"

Xia Yue's gaze swept over the trestle on one side, and suddenly she had an idea and shouted loudly.

The shadow people surrounded them from all sides, and all other directions were dead ends, but there was only one way to go, and that was the direction of Kukai.

The others were quick to react, and as soon as Kasumi spoke, they came to their senses, and they all retreated towards the side of the dock, where there were towering boxes, and they climbed onto them, and then jumped into the empty sea.

Although most of them are not wind element adaptability, but where can we manage this now, the airport is divided into two layers, and there are some ships on the lower deck that are slowly leaving the port, even if they fall from dozens of meters of air and sea and fall on these ships, it is also half dead, but there is always a glimmer of life.

Xia Yue climbed up the penultimate one, only to find that Ice Flash was waiting for him to touch it, although he was a member of the Flor Descendants, he was not a combat class after all.

Bing Flash stretched out his hand and pulled the other party, and said, "You first or me first?" ”

Xia Yue looked at each other, she couldn't breathe, but she still couldn't help but smile: "I am the wind element adaptability. ”

"Damn," Bing flashed's face darkened, and he was so angry that he gave him a middle finger: "I can't talk to you people from the Great Guild." ”

After all, Bing Flash didn't want to care about the other party anymore, he just wanted to see if the other party needed to help him. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, Ice Flash has a good impression of this alchemist from the descendants of Flor.

Xia Yue watched the other party jump and jump towards a boat that was sailing out of the channel below, and shook his head, he didn't tell the other party that he was windy elemental, but it wasn't very good.

Otherwise, how could he choose a career in life.

He glanced back, and saw that the purple flames of the shadow were enveloping in this direction like a ghost, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and took a step forward.

The feeling of falling in the middle of the empty sea was very strange, he did not fall completely vertically, and watched the scene in front of him change dramatically, and the wind whistling in his ears.

The abundant wind element has considerable buoyancy for ordinary people, not to mention the wind element adaptability, for the former it is a bit like the feeling of a stone falling into the deep sea, and for the latter it is about the same as floating in the sea.

And for Kasumi is somewhere in between, he is falling, but not as fast as he imagined. He watched as he drifted away from the trestle, and the shadowmen appeared in that direction—they seemed a little frightened, glanced in this direction from afar, and then retreated.

Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he was more afraid of falling into the hands of those things than falling to death, and he had also heard some rumors about those shadow people outside.

He spread his hands like a big bird, turned away, and watched as his companions landed one by one on the boat below, life and death unknown. There are also some who are even less lucky, falling directly under the clouds, and most of them will not end well.

Fortunately, from the very beginning of the battle, all the resurrection icons on the ship here were open, and at most they were resurrected on the ship.

Kasumi felt her descent slow, but it was only relative, about the point of hanging a paraglider with an opening. He suddenly felt a shadow envelop him, and when he looked up, he realized that he had flown directly below a ship.

The ship was sailing slowly out of the harbor and passing over his head, and the sailors on board saw him, and threw a soft ladder at him with a loud cry.

But the distance between the two sides was moving away, and Xia Yue fished hard, but still missed it several meters.

He couldn't help but glance in that direction with some pity, it was not certain whether he could fall into a certain ship in the lower harbor like this, but it was indeed the best opportunity before.

It's a pity he missed it.

It's just that when he was thinking like this, he suddenly felt something behind him, and then flew high. He saw his gaze overtake the ship at once, and get closer and closer to the exclamations of the sailors.

The deck of the ship seemed to turn upside down at once, and the sky spun around, and it slapped at him heavily, and then there was a sharp pain, as if he had lost consciousness for a moment.

Then Xia Yue woke up in a violent shaking, "He's awake!" "It doesn't seem like a big deal." A group of sailors gathered around him and said in a gossiping voice.

"You're so nice."

"We saw you jumping off the trestle."

"The captain told us to lean in that direction, but unfortunately we didn't save a few."

Xia Yue's ears were buzzing, and he staggered a little as he pushed away the others and crawled in the direction of the side of the boat, only to finally see who had saved him before.

In that direction, a figure and a tall construct landed on the dock, Xia Yue was an alchemist herself, and she was no stranger to the construct, and she recognized it as an Inhandz IV at a glance.

Dragon Knight.

The pseudo-dragon knight is also a dragon knight, in fact, its original meaning is that the dragon knight who is not a dragon knight, and the combat craftsman cannot become a dragon knight, but the combat effectiveness is not much worse than the real dragon knight.

It was the other party who saved herself, Xia Yue was still a little messy in her mind, there was a dragon knight here, and I don't know if it was someone from the Craftsman Association.

He saw the dragon knight facing the purple ghost that was surging from the direction of the harbor, and Inhanz raised his arms, and a golden flame stabbed in that direction like a spear.

The blazing gold spear swept straight from near to far, all the way to the end of the field of vision, nearly a few thousand meters, sweeping through the center of the entire port area.

It seemed to split the dock in two, and the flames rose into the sky, and the goods and warehouses that had piled up in the place where the golden light passed collapsed one by one.

This is the true power of the Dragon Knight.

And it's a limited power.

The ghost army they were helpless against was also temporarily blocked by this wall of flames, but at this time, the city guards and gray knights on the other side finally stormed the harbor-

A tide of gray and black was pouring into the dock from that direction, and the defense line had completely collapsed, and the men of the Spear of the Silver Forest, the men of the Silver Vislan, were retreating along the trestle.

They were fast, but the gray-black tide quickly caught up from behind, and the men of Silver Vislan and Silver Spear were also quite alert, and they jumped down to the sides of the trestle.

However, the other party was not as ugly as Xia Yue, and they leaned in this direction as if they were swimming in the air.

The nearby boat dropped the dinghy, and the silver-wislan climbed into the dinghy, then paddled and rowed away from the trestle.

Of course, not everyone had fled, but some people had fallen into the encirclement, but soon white light rose from the harbor.

Kasumi can know the results of the rest of the people according to the speed at which the white light rises.

They should not fall into the hands of the other, for he can understand the mentality of these people, and like them, let alone the people of Silver Vislain, they should be even more arrogant.

How is it possible to surrender to the enemy.

"The order to retreat has been given, and we are the last ships to leave the port."

The sailors came up to him and said.

"You're lucky enough to get back in the end, but the others aren't so lucky."

Xia Yue nodded with palpitations, seeing this scene, she didn't know that she had picked up a life, but she didn't know what happened to Bing Flash and the others.

He looked in the direction of the port area, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeply: "Why are there so many shadow people in Gula Port?" ”

But no one could answer him, and the sailors looked at the scene with the same solemn faces: "The people of the Ravental Sanctuary really lied, and their barrier is useless......

"But it's okay," Xia Yue let out a long breath, "we escaped." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a bright cyan beam of light passed through the mast above his head.

The beam of light almost staggered with the ship, but it struck another departing windboat not far away, and in front of Xiayue, the ship suddenly exploded into a bright flash.

And then, in that flash, it fell apart and collapsed.

Xiayue looked back in amazement, and looked out of the harbor, where the dim emerald glow was gradually dissipating on the most peculiar windship suspended under the eye of the dark storm.

But more, like the sparkling light of the stars, were converging from other windboats beyond the flagship.

Then he heard an anxious voice coming from the public communication channel:

"All the ships are ready to descend in altitude, it is too late to leave the port of Gulla, and before the next round of attacks arrives, we go directly below the clouds."

"Follow the Brig Wave Breaker, we'll lead the way at the front, and all ships are ready to turn and avoid attack."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yue felt a huge earthquake coming.
