Chapter 1707: Things Have to Return to the Beginning
This time, the dragon knights who rushed to SCP03 to support were around 100 horses. Compared to the situation of maintaining at least 500 horsemen on standby in the Throat of the World Fortress in its heyday, it is naturally far worse.
There is no way, for a world power with a large population and a vast territory, the source of soldiers is like a leek, it will grow quickly if it is really cut, and it will grow more lush; But even if Lu Xi's hometown came to this world, dragon knights and dragons, which can be regarded as at least seventh-level soldiers, are really not renewable resources, and the training time required to die in battle is probably a hundred years.
The War of the Traces of the World two years ago was already the biggest loss of the Dragon Knights since the Battle of Qiming, and it would take at least two or three hundred years to recover.
However, even so, when the "remnants of the defeated generals" of the hundred riding dragons fell from the sky, they still covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was magnificent. However, a hundred dragons and hundreds of soldiers are like riding ten thousand armies...... Well, that's also the case. With this hundred cavalry array, even if it is facing the most elite army of more than 100,000 in Auckland, the other party can only avoid its edge.
The dragon knights circled as they slowly approached the fortress. They weren't terrified of the defenses that might still exist in this ancient fortress, but they were using their own means to silently retrieve the location of all the enemies inside. On this side, Lifa already knew that her brother and a group of elven guards were waiting in the fortress, so she pulled Shino to set off first.
Lu Xi wasn't worried at all, anyway, with hundreds of dragon knight companions, there was no such thing as an ambush at all. He stopped the rest of his friends and said to everyone: "The miscellaneous soldiers of the demons and abyss vassals are handed over to the orcs, and the high demons and demon lords are the prey of the Dragon Knights, as for everyone, I need you to control the second and third central rooms, the defense chamber and the treasure chamber in the shortest possible time......"
In addition to the little friends with names in the core, there were also 30 dwarven engineers and 20 elven guards present, which may be a little stretched to control the above mechanism, but it can still be barely done. And it seems that everyone seems to be quite interested in these jobs, and Brother Krell and the dwarven engineers light up when they hear the "mechanism room", and the "treasure room" makes Rosalie's slightly pointed ear chakras move.
"Ancient demonic techniques that have been lost, Titans, mortal elves, ancient dwarven kingdoms, Golden Empire eras, and even gods-given, you name it. Brother Krel, don't you want to take it apart and take a look? β
Of course, my engineer's soul has started to burn, uh, even though it's been burning a lot lately.
"But unfortunately, research is possible, but it is not allowed to be demolished! Or if it's dismantled, you'll have to restore it to me. β
ββ¦β¦ How, how can this be? Krel's enthusiasm waned like a punctured balloon.
"As for you, Rosalie, you can identify the rest of the things in the Noble Phantasm Room, and you can divide them into categories, but if there is one less, I will curse you that you will not grow up in the next thousand years, and every day there will be twenty dozen or seven sour men dancing around you with a pole (meow) dance, the kind that will strip naked after dancing!"
"I remember the last time you said three-quarters of a dozen...... Oh no, what do you think of my dignified Lord Rosalie? And you can say such a curse! Are you human? β
"In short, this fortress will be our biggest trophy of the time. I need everyone to keep their functions as safe as possible, and to hand over their entire appearance to the Dragon Knights as much as possible. In terms of actual combat, this is a truly unsinkable Ark battleship; In terms of research, the Kui Bao of the previous civilization he carried will also make the progress of our civilization take many detours. The biggest gain of our war this time is not the liberation of the Federation, but this is it......"
Well, from the consequentialist point of view, I have to think that Master Russell is my own.
"This is a treasure that belongs to all nations and tribes, and we are undertaking a historical mission!"
The friends suddenly held their heads high, as if they had really become members of the history textbook.
However, again, everyone's life comes first. If there is a conflict between the fortified facilities and your safety, please give priority to the latter. By the way, Fett, Nanoka ......" Lu Xi summoned the two best friends, waved his hand, and used magic power to condense into light to simulate a map of the fortress structure of the whole system, pointing to a large blank direction: "I don't know too much about the situation here, it is said that it was a prison used to suppress all kinds of demon-level prisoners, plus some secret facilities or something, I need you to go here to have a look." β
"Oh? Does Lu Xi have any guesses? Fett asked.
"Just now, when the world puzzle magic reached its most critical moment, I was hit by a finger of death." Lu Xi said in a calm tone.
Nicole suddenly hugged Lu Xi's hand, and her breathing became heavy; Lim tilted her head, reached out and touched Lu Xi's chest suspiciously, and when she found that it was indeed intact, she was relieved again.
"Even at the pincture of spell casting, my magical perception wasn't turned off. It is impossible for the enemy to cast a spell within this range to conceal my warning, and the only reason is that she is at least eight hundred miles away...... Eight hundred meters away. Heh, even when the line of sight is blocked. Magicians and necromancers can also cast the Finger of Death, but the one that hit me had a demonic curse, so it was certain that it must have been the work of the top demon caster. There seem to be only a few such characters, right? β
"Well, your old rival Belkiel, of course, in his prime. ' 'Ratmore' the Soul Eater, 'Abyssal Singer' Nadida, 'Lord of the Blood Feast' Antoval...... Also, 'Prime Minister of the Abyss' and 'Ten Thousand Demon Masters' Orodal. "What Fett said is the most prestigious spellcasting master among the Abyss Lords and Demon Generals. Originally, there was still a "burner" Glinar, but it was completely cooled down in the eternal mechanism.
"Of course, there may be some unknown masters. The lava sea and the bottomless abyss are so big that even the Calamity King doesn't know how many strong people his race has. Nanoka said.
"yes, that's what I want to figure out. What does an unknown or prestigious demon spell caster want to do when he gets involved in this kind of thing...... But you don't have to dig too deep to figure out where they are. I don't want that to happen again in the Black Forest. β
"Wow, Lu Xi, you're going to lose all your friends sooner or later." Nanorka spat out.
In short, the friends arranged their own arrangements, and they set off on the boat again. Nicole and Lim didn't leave, because they were not just friends, they were still wings or something, and they all reached the final boss battle, so they naturally had to be with the protagonist.
Accompanied by the sound of war drums in the distance, thousands of orcs (including your minotaurs, trolls, and centaurs) let out a long-suppressed battle cry, as if to vent all the anger and humiliation of years at once. They beat their fists in the chest, collided with their weapons, and even pounded the ground like a pack of ferocious beasts chained.
They didn't attack right away, as if they were still waiting for something.
After a few more minutes, the lower part of the island, which resembles an inverted mountain, finally touched the sea.
Lu Xi took out the last consumable treasure from the space bag, the skull of the island whale, and then closed his eyes and unfolded a magic circle, starting the final process of the world puzzle - of course, if SCP03 was made into a floating island, it would not be necessary, but now that it has become an island, this final cutscene cannot be saved.
The island crashed into the ocean, setting off huge waves. The island itself began to tremble, as if it had been caught in the heart of a major earthquake on the spot.
However, whether it is the orcs on the island, the little friends in the sky, as well as Lu Xi himself and the two girls, they have experienced too many "earthquakes" today, and they are more or less used to it. Compared to the broken space and the impact of the fortress, it is now called an aftershock at most.
Lu Xi crushed the skull of the island whale, and with a slight pinch it turned into a pile of powder and sprinkled it on the ground. Then, under the call of the ancient lord's battle flag, the earth element at the lower end of the island began to condense and expand, and under the cover of fierce vibration, it had been silently connected with the continental shelf under the sea.
It was only at this time that the island, which had been adrift in the Aetheric Sea for an unknown number of years, really stabilized in the earth and the sea, and became part of the Falling Star Sea archipelago.
The orcs let out their final roar and rushed towards the island. Unhindered, they rushed through the crumbling walls, and soon there were shouts of killing, shouting, and laughter, as well as the shrill cries of demons.
The dragon knights in the sky also began to land. They often landed as a combat unit of five and did not encounter any anti-aircraft fire from start to finish. Although the formation of five people is not much, each of them is a dragon knight of an enemy army, and there is a special way to cooperate and communicate between each unit, so there is no need to worry about it.
As for the dragon, he didn't transform into a partner and kill it, but climbed back into the air and continued to hover and monitor. Lu Xi even saw that there were more than a dozen silver dragons and jade dragons that were good at magic casting spells in the sky, which was clearly a spatial closure enchantment that could envelop the entire Lelensak City. Dragon Knight Captain Miss Hino's partner Il CharitΓ© is among them.
Look at this pomp and circumstance, it seems that he is really ready to let go of it.
"Let's go, then, too. Things will eventually return to square one. Lu Xi said.
