Chapter 1078 The "Calm Sea" of the Open Sea
"In other words, it's Sister Elune...... Uh, did the Holy See of Elune inform Nicole that you would be waiting for me in the nearby airspace? ”
"Yes, Lu Lu, after all, he is also the reserve high priest of the goddess of life, and occasionally he can feel the Holy Seat of Elune, but this time it is very clear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The future goddess of life, the high priest, the direct bloodline of the mortal elf royal family, of course, is still just a bear child Nivea?" Lin Ge said excitedly: "If it weren't for her reminder, we might have waited outside stupidly, and when the space of the Ten Thousand Kings' Treasure was completely destroyed and collapsed, it would be wiped out in a daze." ”
Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy: "Huh? Looks like I don't need to tell the story again, do I? ”
"A lot of details are still unclear, after all, the goddess's time is also very precious, and there are more important things to do at that time." Swift Wind smiled: "Obviously, at that time, the space we are in is no longer part of the main material plane, but the internal space of the treasure of the kings is connected, and belongs to the subordinate plane of the subplane." Of course, it was thanks to the Goddess's teachings and hints that I was able to quickly decipher the structure of that subspace, and then opened a portal that allowed the Seven Aurora to pass through, and the exit was right above the island of Kadin. ”
"This is over Kadein Island?" Lu Xi looked around, and it was naturally an ordinary blue sky and white clouds and an ordinary air cloud. He walked to the side of the ship, lay down on his stomach and looked down, his eyes passed through the air at a height of thousands of meters, and directly captured the whole view of the island in the blue sea.
"Huh? I remember when we first arrived, the fog and elemental turbulence around Kadin Island was at least a few thousand meters high in the sky. Now, this atmosphere ...... Well, calm and steady elements, sunshine, blue skies, white clouds, and warm sea breezes. ”
"It's understandable, too. The strange environment of Kadein Island is actually directly affected by the Treasure of the Kings, that is, the spatial shielding circle set up by Gil Salad. When that space collapses, the circle will naturally lose its effect, and the island and the surrounding environment will of course return to its original appearance. "It seems that Tempest has received a lot of information from Elune, some of which should have been told directly by the goddess, and some of which she must have deduced from the other party's words. In addition to making money in business, the ice and snow intelligence shown by this sister paper in any field is definitely worthy of the title of "King of Magical Girls".
Lu Xi, of course, agreed 100% with the wind's inference.
"That's right. If you look at it this way, the real environment of Kadein Island is actually quite suitable for a vacation...... Well, if it weren't for the smell of blood and the disgusting smell of sulphur in the sea breeze now, I would have taken everyone to camp for three or five days before heading back. Lu Xi sighed: "Sure enough, those people below have already beaten out all the dog's brains, right?" ”
Just like Lu Xi said, although the island is surrounded by the blue sea, its surroundings should be red and black. The red of the flames and the black of the steel lingered in the blood qi that soared into the sky, and even made the friends on the Qiyao Aurora smell at a height of thousands of meters.
"At first, the pirate combined fleet and the main force of the Black Sea started a war, and then the forward troops of Atlantis arrived, and they hesitated to watch at the bottom of the sea for a long time, but they did not expect to be discovered by the demon army that had occupied the entire island land, and the two sides used magic and projectile weapons to shoot at each other across the sea. Due to the lack of troops, it gradually fell behind, but fortunately, the follow-up main force of Atlantis arrived, and there were also follow-up troops on the Black Sea and pirate side to join. Well, because the environment around Kadein Island has stabilized, it is quite suitable for large troops. As a result, the scale of the battle is growing, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic. Tempest shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.
"Yes! If it weren't for the Holy See saying that Lu Lu would probably fall in this area, we might have sailed over to help. Nicole spread out her hand and said with a smile: "We have nothing to do while waiting here, but Lu Lu has not fallen yet, and some of the things that are very valuable at first glance have fallen first, so I just picked them up to pass the time." ”
Well, it's not that the sisters and friends don't worry about themselves, but because they confirmed their safety from Sister Elune, they have the heart to play the gold coin game.
"It's a shame that we've been wandering around this airspace for nearly two hours, and that's all we can pick up." Miss Witch of a certain legal Lori looked at the treasure pushed on the deck, and sighed with some pity: "There are at least hundreds of things that just slipped out of our sight, and looking at the track, at least they will walk in the sea within a radius of thousands of miles, right?" ”
She looked at Lu Xi with a sad face, and couldn't help but say in an expectant tone: "Please be sure to tell me, you have already got the real big head!" These slips away are just some defective products, you must tell me! ”
"It depends on what you mean by the treasure." Lu Xi smiled: "If you are a person who is literate and detached from low-level interests, you will definitely have the same cognition and resonance as me." ”
Miss Witch was slightly stunned, and was about to say something, but Lu Xi had already changed the topic: "But before that, do we have to think about how to solve the following problems." ”
Well, although the clouds have disappeared at this time, the fog has opened and the moon is bright, but many white clouds still occupy most of the area in the sky, and it is naturally impossible for everyone who is busy around the island and the sea to look at the other group of observers hidden in the air at a height of thousands of meters.
In short, in this short one day, around the mysterious Kadein Island, this sea area has been called the "Dead Sea" for an unknown number of people, but there have been many mysterious changes, so that even the old devils who have been crisscrossing this sea for countless years are a little overwhelmed. First of all, a large number of pirate fleets gathered outside Kadein Island to play soy sauce, but for some reason, they fought directly with the Black Sea Fleet, which had a lot of cooperative relations before. Subsequently, an Atlantean army of about 3,000 people arrived at the battlefield, originally just to fight soy sauce nearby...... However, when they had just crossed the dangerous sea, they found that the island had been overrun by a large group of demons.
Even if the sea tribes are stupid, they will not go ashore to fight the demons on land, and although the demons are all a group of snake spirits, the higher demons are not stupid, and it is impossible for them to run into the sea to play with people. As a result, the two sides engaged in a rather futuristic cross-strait fire.
The rulers of Atlantis are merfolk, and merfolk are all golden species that can control the magic of the sea, of course, there are not too many of them. Their army is actually the same as the nomadic horse bandit-like Black Sea, filled with a large number of ordinary soldiers such as fishmen, swamps, frogs, sharks, and whalemen...... Fortunately, no matter how large the army of the Sea Clan is, it is much more neat than the demons on the shore. Backed by a large stable country - albeit a city-state with poor organization and mobilization - it is also well-equipped.
Many of the mobilized soldiers composed of the swamp tribe, the frog tribe and the fish people of the sea, commonly known as cannon fodder, are equipped with a magic weapon that shoots water guns. This is an alchemical weapon developed by the mermaid lords of Atlantis, with the help of their allies, alchemists of the Alliance of Learning, - although it is an alchemy weapon, the price is not high, and the main material is the special iron coral in the sea, which has the conditions for mass production - called "water guns".
Although it is an alchemy weapon, since the cost is not high, the power can naturally be imagined. This kind of weapon looks like a spear, and of course it can be used in hand-to-hand combat in close combat, but the spear head can also spray high-pressure water rays, with a range of about 50 to 100 meters, but the power is about the same as that of an ordinary hunting bow, which can only be considered unsatisfactory. The only advantage is that if the rear end of the barrel comes into contact with the water, it can shoot indefinitely. When used in the sea, this is equivalent to a projectile weapon with unlimited ammunition.
However, the rate of fire of this weapon is not too high, it takes about seven or eight seconds to shoot once, and it is difficult to really form an overwhelming barrage.
Of course, compared to the Sea Clan soldiers, the demons' response classes are not very clever. They didn't seem to want to get into the spellcasters anytime soon, so they pulled a large group of fire-breathers in the shallows. It was a bloated, bulky demon with a grayish-brown body that looked like a cylinder wrapped around a carapace with a bud-like head growing on it. Without help, they could only move through the dozens of short legs around the cylinder that looked like tentacles, and they were in a hurry. However, their bud-like skulls can erupt rays of burning flame, capable of attacking enemies from a distance of 100 meters. As a result, the commanders of the high-level demons also like to use this turret-like demon as a backbone projection force.
In comparison, Charizard's attack is naturally more powerful, but after all, the Sea Clan has a home advantage, and even if there are not many people, they are inseparable from the opponent. And at this time, a large group of reinforcements from the Black Sea also heard the news. Fortunately, Rondo, who commanded the outpost of the Atlantean city-state? Red Scale, an old fritter with considerable eyesight, led his troops to fight and retreat, slowly retreating in the direction of the open sea. Originally, he wanted to lead the other party into the chaotic underwater labyrinth on the outskirts of the island, and maybe he could rely on his familiar experience as a pirate king in and out of Kardin Island for many years, and make a big comeback with less and more wins.
"The scum of the Black Sea, let me teach you a good lesson! When Grandpa Rondo was the Pirate King of the Seven Seas, you were all eggs! ”
Well, there's really no grammatical or intellectual error in that. The only viviparous animals in the Sea Clan are the merfolk of the Golden Species, and the rest, even the Argonian and Naga of the Silver Race, are oviparous.
However, this is what happened awkwardly......
First of all, an inexplicable spatial fluctuation occurred suddenly. It rippled around the entire island of Kadin, and all the strong people with outstanding spiritual senses felt it. The trembling seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, almost shaking the world upside down, as if the world was apocalyptic, but perhaps it was like a trembling sway, so slight that it was like an illusion. In fact, different individuals, each with different spiritual senses and different spatial recognition, also have different sensory experiences for such an anomaly. Then, immediately afterward, the fog that surrounded the entire island began to melt rapidly, as if it had met the midday sun, and the sunlight from the outside seemed to fall on the island for the first time. The turbulent turbulence and whirlpools of the seabed, which resemble a murderous labyrinth, began to calm down, and soon merged with all the surrounding water, and there was nothing special to be seen. Even the rocky reefs that were able to move on their own stopped and stood as if they had never moved, like a horde of unpowered robots.
“…… Something has happened! "Rondo? Red Scales, the current Lord of Atlantis, who still had such a shameful bandit as the "Fire Scale King" in the era of the Pirate King, couldn't help but sigh deeply, as if he was lamenting the end of an era.
Of course, his reaction seemed to the mermaid overseer, staff officer, and magic advisor that this feeling of no nutritional value was typical of Mad's mental retardation.
"Yes, something did happen, and now even our whales can see it...... So, Your Excellency, are we going to go back like that? "The merfolk officer made a serious suggestion. In his opinion, such an old Yalong man who has lived for more than 600 years and has already engraved the realism of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in his bones must agree with him.
Yes, it is a fact that Rondo, the famous "King of Fire Scales", is a coward. In fact, most of the pirate kings who left behind the prestige of heroism and righteousness, robbing the rich and helping the poor, are also a group of cowards, but the level of acting skills and degree. This is actually determined by the nature of their profession. However, it is precisely because of this that such a cautious old Argonian is the most suitable person to be the commander of the outpost - because he will not lead all his men into the mortal enemy because of the congestion of his head, so that the subsequent army will lose the intelligence support of the forward.
"Hey, young man, you don't understand, you really don't understand! For the old people who live to our age, they all rely on memories to live...... This is a sentiment that is much more important than the honor and merit that can't be eaten by bullshit, and more important than life! He looked at his young mermaid officer seriously, and said seriously: "Feelings, do you understand?" ”
I don't understand, I really don't understand! You, an old fritter who has been a big pirate for 300 years, and then were recruited to eat all day long, wait for the dead to go into the coffin, and tell me about your feelings, how can I pick up the stubble?
"In the beginning, we were gathering on that island, drinking and eating meat, fighting, brawling and slashing people! After you finish chopping, continue to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl! Although Old Rondo is no longer a pirate, he has not lost any fond memories of Kadein Island! But now, it has become a demon stronghold, how can old Rondo accept it! The old Argonian stood up from his chariot with a snort and lifted his trident: "The sulfur scumbag from the abyss, don't want to pollute the sea!" ”
All in all, the old Argonian suddenly burst out, so that the 3,000 Sea Clan outposts, the Black Sea troops beside them, and the two-way attack of the demons on the shoals, still maintained a relative balance of power. Objectively speaking, the efforts of the outpost troops on the coastal front line did maintain a relatively wide sea area for the main army of the Sea Clan that came later, and could spread the front. A few hours later, when the first follow-up reinforcements from the Sea Clan arrived, the situation became more and more chaotic, but it finally ushered in the first small turning point in the war.
After a brief fierce battle, the nearby Black Sea was driven away, and the demons even ceded the beachhead to this group of formidable opponents in the sea, maintaining a second line behind the beach. At the same moment, in the center of the island, countless long stones were toppled down and piled up into the shape of a huge door frame that was thirty or forty meters high.
A dark green film of light covers the entire door frame, exuding an ominous color. In that curtain of light, a gloomy and depressing, large-scale palace group was faintly illuminated. The sulfurous lava flowed, evaporated, boiled, burned, and danced around the palace complex, thus forming an endless sea of lava that flowed to every corner of the sixty-six abysses.
