Chapter 670: Teleportation Ceremony (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
The conditions were negotiated like this, and Chara Nona didn't pick it, anyway, she was dedicated, and she was right, she didn't have much affection for Solam, and she did these things more for her own peace of mind, for Illya. All she needed was an explanation.
So when she saw that the council came up with such conditions, she didn't say anything, and she agreed.
Now that the terms of employment have been negotiated, the conversation can continue. The rest of the gossip can be put aside for a while, and the most important thing now is the sewer matter, not the mess in front of you.
Solam didn't bother with the matter of Zaranuna anymore, anyway, Charranuna would talk to him alone later, even if he had any questions, he could talk slowly. So he began to narrate the sewers with Karul. (Mainly Karol said, in the second half it was Solam)
"That's all we can provide, the front is better, with your numbers, that danger is nothing, only the terrain at the entrance of the seal is a little difficult to get, the sewers above the seal are some not spacious passages, through these passages to reach the gathering place of those undead, which is heavily guarded, if you carry out a frontal attack, you will be blocked by the undead in the passage, and then you will have to pass through the tightly guarded gathering place, your casualties will be very large."
"Moreover, the trouble is not only these, after passing through the gathering place of those undead, there are also those elite undead prepared by vampires, that is also a hard stubble, if you have lost too much before, it will be a bit more auspicious to face those elite undead."
In Solam's opinion, in this war, the undead side took advantage of it from the beginning. The sewers on the upper level of the seal can accommodate up to two people at a time, and in this case, there is no way for humans to rush through quickly.
Those vampires only need to let those low-level undead block the passage, which is enough for humans to drink a pot, which is not to say that the human side can't beat it, but it's too wasteful of time, you think, those passages are all wide for only two people to pass through, that is to say, those low-level undead face humans at a time, and there are only two people.
No matter how powerful those two people are, how fast can they kill? Isn't that slowing down? And what is most lacking on the human side now is time, plus the vampires have also set up two lines of defense before the seal, and I don't know how much time it will take. Anyway, in Solam's opinion, Askatra is difficult this time.
Hearing Soram's (mainly Karul's) careful account of the journey, coupled with Solam's reminder afterwards, everyone present fell silent.
In the end, it was the leader of the Knights of the Burning Heart, Witherland, who said abruptly, "Is it really such an exaggeration? Are there any other ways to bypass those narrow passages? ”
In fact, in the eyes of this paladin before, this crusade against the undead was not difficult at all. As a paladin, the last thing you are afraid of is the undead, and those who will be wiped out by the light of the Holy Light are really not difficult enemies.
But after Solam's narration, Witherland suddenly discovered that the truth was not like that, yes, their paladins were not undead, but they couldn't stand that terrain!
Their paladins are very restrained from the undead, but they can't stand the large number of those undead.
They can only go up to two people at a time, two people, even if they can fight again, how many can they destroy? Yes, they can send high-level paladins to take the lead, but the problem is that the passage is not short, and according to Solam, it took almost half a day for a few of them.
Not to mention them. Solam They have few people, and the target is small, they can hide and walk, there are so many of them, how can they hide? Are the undead blind? Once blocked, it can only be attacked, and at that time, the most conservative estimate is that it will take at least one to two days to pass through those passages!
For such a long time, high-level paladins are also human beings and will also be tired. Can it still be replaced halfway? That would have to be agreed by someone else's undead.
And what about the undead? Not only do they not get tired, they don't know pain, they don't know fear, and there are so many of them!
In addition, there are so many vampires who are constantly creating undead in the back, anyway, under that level of negative energy environment, with the power obtained from blood refining, it is easy for vampires to create low-level undead, they can even create low-level undead all the time, and the Sea of Skulls is not a problem!
When the time comes, if they don't do it well, they can't kill the undead at a speed that others can replenish.
In fact, until now, Witherland hadn't taken the undead very seriously, and defeating them wasn't a problem for them. But the problem is that defeating the undead is not the ultimate goal at all, their ultimate goal is to reach the seal and repair it at the same time!
And now the time for the destruction of the seal is getting closer and closer, and what they lack is time. According to the timetable given by the council, they had ten days, but now they had wasted a day, at least six days on the road, and if too much time was wasted on the undead, it would be completely insufficient.
Although according to the information brought back by Solam, the time required for the vampires must be more than ten days, but the question is, who can guarantee this kind of thing? If they fall too far behind, there is a good chance that the seal will be completely broken, and it will be too late for anything.
"I'm talking about things, and as for the other way, I'm sorry to tell you, no! Anyway, from the terrain I saw, there was only one way to get to the seal. Soram shrugged his shoulders, a look of helplessness.
"Are we just going to have to rush over it?" Witherland's face was ugly and muttered, this method is undoubtedly the stupidest way, but in this situation, it seems that there is no other way, if you don't rush, Ascatra will be finished, and there is still a chance to rush.
And the others are not much better at this time, especially the leader of the City Heart Knights, his initial preparation is to come and make a soy sauce, anyway, they only need to send a few hundred people, and the Burning Heart Knights are responsible for everything else. He was very relaxed.
But now it's different, if the Knights of the Burning Heart can't complete their mission, they'll suffer too! When the negative energy in the seal corrodes the entire city, everyone is the same, and no one is exempt!
And at this time, a voice gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
"Actually, it's not completely impossible."
I saw Zaranona say calmly.
"What?!!! Do you have a solution? Witherland said eagerly. The others also looked over with wide eyes.
"Well, the teleportation ceremony may be possible!" Chara Nona said.
"Teleportation Ritual ?!!!" Before the others could do anything, Soram called out first. As a spellcaster, Soram naturally wouldn't have heard of the name of this magic ritual.
The teleportation ritual literally shows what it does. Although this term sounds similar to teleportation and collective teleportation, the effect is far from good! Teleportation and collective teleportation can only teleport one or a few people at a time, and there are only a dozen people in the sky, and there is no way to do more.
The teleportation ritual is different, the legendary teleportation ritual is a super-large magic ritual that can teleport thousands of people at a time, and the legend has it that the ancient elves relied on this magic ritual to appear in the world of Torrell. They've teleported from the entire race! You can imagine how powerful this effect is.
However, alas, this magic ritual, like other powerful magic rituals of the ancient elves, has disappeared into the long river of time in wars and disasters.
"Your Masked Mage Guild has mastered this technique?!!!" Solam looked at Chara Nona with an excited expression. No way, Chara Nona's words are amazing!
The greatness of the teleportation ritual does not need to be repeated at all, how could a mage of later generations not study it, but for so many years, only a similar spell ritual has appeared in the era of Netheril.
Speaking of which, there is one person who has to be mentioned, and that is Netheril's greatest Grand Arcanist, "Demigod" Iolem! He was the one who made the brilliance of the teleportation ritual bloom again.
In the era of Netheril's Mythera, Netherel at that time was not the great empire of Netherrell that later dominated the universe and spread its prestige far and wide in all planes, at that time Netherel was still just in its infancy, and at that time Nethar still had enemies, among which the orcs in Nethrel at that time were Netherre's biggest trouble. Needless to say, the orcs at that time were much stronger than the orcs now, and the orcs at that time were also a strong race.
And Iolem, as the strongest arcanist of Netharel at the time, is determined to solve this henchman's problem for his homeland, and he wants to exterminate all orcs! He's going to fix the problem once and for all. He's had enough of what the orcs have done, the people have been killed, the food has been robbed, the caravans have been looted... It's all these damn beasts. Nothing could stop the war until he slain the orcs.
But the problem is that defeating the orcs is one thing, and extinction is another. The orcs are not only numerous, but also scattered, and if the orcs run wild in Netheril's territory, it will be the people of Nethriel who will suffer in the end.
Therefore, this arcanist, who can be compared to the gods in history, invented the Ioram teleportation ritual in order to destroy those orcs more efficiently, accurately, and without leaving a living mouth. Although this ritual is not as frustrating as the teleportation ritual of the ancient elves, the effect is also very good. Thousands of troops can be teleported at once.
So, Iolem led an army of 50,000 and began to use the Ioram teleportation ritual to start the biggest battle of his life, he constantly used the teleportation ritual to encircle and intercept all the orc tribes, drive the orcs into the pre-set encirclement, and then carry out indiscriminate massacres. In this way, he still disliked being too slow, but there was no way for him to improve the teleportation ritual. (As mentioned earlier, spells about space are the most difficult to control, even Iolem is no exception.)
So he simply invented the portal (a huge teleportation device) in order to transfer entire troops on a large scale.
(This is also the reason why Iolam is called a demigod, this thing is like a robot cat, you can immediately take out any spell you want, and inventing a spell is as simple as eating)
The war burned for 16 months, and finally slaughtered all the orcs in the country! More than 400,000 orcs were brutally slaughtered, rivers of blood flowed red, staining the snow of Bone Hill and Thunder Peak.
