Chapter 8: The Prelude to Destruction (I)
At the round table, the legendary spellcasters also felt the ground shake.
"It's not a natural earthquake," the Lord of the Galaxy frowned, "It's seismic?" β
The old legendary mage had words in his mouth and began to induce the reconnaissance enchantment under the White City.
"Hmph." A cold light flickered in Stewart's eyes.
A scroll appeared in his hand. If someone wants to use destructive spells to bring chaos to the White City, he must deal with it at the first opportunity.
The Lord of the Clouds had a sad look on his face. He turned his gaze to the emperor and the prime minister. The two of the Empire also stood up. This is the territory of the French state, and the prime minister hesitated to help.
Before figuring out what had happened, the legendary mages with absolute confidence were delayed for less than six seconds.
In those six seconds, they did nothing.
It was also the six seconds that decided the fate of the world.
"Not good." The Lord of the Galaxy suddenly widened his eyes with a look of horror on his face.
Then, all the legendary casters felt it.
An invisible arcane wave that spreads out in space.
"It's the ...... of legendary spells," the Lord of Cloud Yong was the first to perceive the essence of the fluctuation, "the ...... that affects the space"
Stewart reached out to pull open a portal, but there was no response, as if he had hit a wall.
"It's the legendary spell 'Dimensional Lock'," he said in a hoarse voice, "Space is imprisoned, and you can't use spells that affect space. β
The Emperor and the Emperor glanced at each other. The Emperor violently waved the spear "Tianyi" in his hand. The ceiling shattered.
Five legends soared into the sky at the same time.
β¦β¦
Dust flying.
Many people's brains go blank.
A place just a few kilometers away from the walls of the Pure White City.
It was originally a small plain.
And now - there is something that will never happen here.
Mountain-like behemoths.
A huge dark brown city!
The walls are high, and the rows of houses are not gorgeous, but they have a simple and magnificent flavor. The palaces and towers of the city center loom in the dust that obscures the sky.
People can clearly see the huge "base" of the city like steel. The whole majestic city was built on the foundation of a ship.
"That's ......," said a traveler who had been to Okad, shuddering, pointing to the sudden city.
The earth is wailing. Someone has started crying.
"Floating Sand City!"
β¦β¦
Nicholas?? Okad stood at the very top of Floating Sand City. His biggest fear was that the enemy had teleported away before he could cast his legendary spell to seal off the space.
Floating Sand City. Nicholas is the new capital of the Okad Federation.
When it was first created, it was not intended to be a "city for human habitation", but a "movable military fortress".
Not only can the city move quickly in the desert, but it can also barely travel some distance on dry land. Combined with the magic circle carved on the pedestal for many years, Nicholas can teleport the city to any place on the continent through his original legendary spells.
The masterpiece of Nicholas's life's work.
It is the largest barracks to protect Okad and the strongest battering ram to crush enemies.
"Now you can't escape." Speaker Nicholas muttered.
Vladimir?? Kim looked at his sovereign with admiration. Casting two legendary spells in a row, Nicholas did not show a trace of fatigue.
And on the city walls and streets, countless shadows with swords in hand are ready.
It was an army of the undead who had just arrived in the city. Each undead squad is led by a hand-picked Okad warrior. Each warrior is equipped with a full set of spellbreaker gear.
The landing of Fusha City was much more deviated than expected. failed to make the walls of Fusha City directly connected to the walls of the Pure White City. But that's fine.
Just like that, let the Floating Sand City crash towards the Pure White City.
Look at the thousand-year-old barrier built by Erios himself or my Nicholas's supreme masterpiece, which one is stronger!
When the space transfer was activated, the machinery used to move the city inside the city had been shut down. It takes about a minute or so to restart. Sharp acceleration on dry land leads to damage to the power machinery, and Nicholas does not care about this.
β¦β¦
The five legends who flew into the sky were also stunned by the scene in front of them. At the same time, in the pure white city, above the blue sky level, the casters who controlled the "flying technique" flew up one after another, hiding behind their own legends.
"It's Floating Sand City!" Stewart yelled, "Nicholas, that bastard, you've moved the whole of Floating Sands!" β
He finally understood that Nicholas didn't want to fight any "conventional war" at all from the beginning, but to start a decisive battle between legendary spellcasters!
Now that the space is completely blocked, they don't even have the option to use space magic to temporarily retreat, so they can only rush to fight.
The Lord of the Galaxy has eyes like water.
"Your Majesty," he said, turning to Emperor Dietford III to the side, "Nicholas has lost his mind, he wants to defeat our French state in one fell swoop. Your Majesty......"
"Naturally, we will do our best to fight alongside you," said the Emperor, "and Friedrich...... Let that one wait for the opportunity first. β
"I've sent a message to her." The Prime Minister replied.
Empress Lichenda did not show up, and she was good at stealth operations, so she could be used as a surprise soldier on the side of the French and the Empire.
"Looks like you still have your hole cards." Sham, the Lord of the Clouds, said.
"We have that too." Stewart said.
He had absolute confidence in the defense of the White City. The ancient pure white city has been continuously strengthened by legendary mages for thousands of years, and it is not so easy to attack.
"It would be nice if Palamedes could come to our aid." The Lord of the Clouds sighed. Under the blockade of space, even if Palamedes was willing to come to help them, it would be difficult to arrive in a short time.
"I'd like to see what Nicholas is so arrogant about." The Emperor said. He was already thoroughly enraged.
Speaker Nicholas will not sneak attack sooner rather than later, and will sneak attack as soon as he comes to the French power? Obviously, Nicholas did not take the French and the Empire into account at all, and intended to face the legends of both countries at the same time.
β¦β¦
The pure white magic capital, the city of "Thales"!
Nicholas stared at the white walls of the distant city.
The old capital of Okad has been breached several times in history. The imperial capital of the empire also fell to the rebels.
There is only the pure white city "Thales". Today it is the only city of miracles in the world that has not been captured by any foreign enemy.
Now, however, he is going to break the myth of Elrios and destroy the Pure White City.
It's been almost forty seconds since the transfer of Sand City. The first wave of tentative enemy attacks should be on the horizon.
He flipped his hand overβand a human head frozen in ice suddenly appeared in his hand.
"The Powers of Law, and the Lords of the Empire," Speaker Nicholas' voice echoed between heaven and earth, "I am here. I have come to destroy you, ...... today It will be the day of the destruction of Elrios. The chief mage of yours, Fan En, the Lord of the Blue Sky, has been ambushed a few days ago, and this is his head. β
He let go of his hand, and the arcane whirlwind swept the human head and drifted toward Elrios' side.
Elrios' face turned pale.
"Hmph."
A legend has made a move.
It was Emperor Dietford III of the Empire. Unlike the French Mage who focused on the identity of the leader, his mind was only to fight the enemy as soon as possible. The Emperor's eyes of the Emperor of the Secret Rite flickered with the fire of the Secret Ritual, and his gaze never left the tallest mage towers in Fusha City. Nicholas is likely to be in one of them-
Got it!
Through the dust, through the direction of the first flight, Dietford III locked on to the position of Speaker Nicholas.
"Tianyi" stabbed out. The spear shot a golden glow that shot at Nicholas himself.
"Don't think about it."
Mr. King, who was at Nicholas' side, immediately helped the Lord create a magical barrier. Although the attack that Dietford III unleashed casually was close to the power of the Blue Ocean Advanced Arcane, Mr. Jin was still able to barely block it without using the legendary spell.
"Is it true, you can see if you know?" Nicholas laughed and disarmed the spell that had been cast on the head.
The head fell on the head of the pure white city. A few bold soldiers crawled and leaned towards the head.
"That's really ......," the Lord of Cloud Yong's expression was rather anxious.
"Don't look," the Lord of the Galaxy whispered, "maybe there's a trap. Concentrate on the enemy. β
Whether that's true or not, Chief Vane...... It's best to think that Chief Vane is dead!
And the soldiers and civilians of the pure white city panicked when they heard Nicholas's voice. Their protector, the chief mage of the French State, the Lord of the Blue Sky, "Vane", is it really ......
Okade's side is in full swing. Elrios' morale hit rock bottom.
"I give you a chance," Nicholas said aloud, "Surrender at once, ladies of the French Powers, and I will give you a way out." Your Majesty, you too. If you don't surrender...... Today is the day when your Imperial Blood will be completely severed. β
"Stupid." The Lord of the Galaxy shook his head.
"Self-defeating." Prime Minister Sen Ran said.
"It's ridiculous." The emperor's eyes seemed to burst into flames. When did he get so looked down upon?
"You're too arrogant," said Stewart, "do you want one against the five of us?" He glanced at Yun Yong and motioned for him to activate the defense mechanism of the Pure White City.
The legends deliberately spread their voices far away.
Ordinary soldiers and civilians are not fools either. At this time, hearing the dialogue of the legends, everyone already understood in their hearts...... The huge city that appeared in front of him was called by the legendary spellcaster on the Okadian side! Even his own chief mage seems to have been poisoned.
But it sounds like the legendary spellcasters on their side have a numerical advantage. Maybe they can really repel the enemy.
"It's going to perish, and you don't know it," Nicholas sneered. I will first destroy the walls of the pure white city, so that I may make a great name. O people of Elrios...... See clearly. The Council of Mages, on which you rely, is no longer able to protect you. β
Enough time to prepare.
Floating Sand City suddenly moved.
The city roared, heading in the direction of the White City.
"Hmm." The Lord of the Clouds had just landed on the city wall when he saw this scene. As if he didn't have time to react more, he injected his surging spiritual power into a magic array on the city wall. A pale halo shield suddenly appeared on the city wall.
"Ridiculous." Nicholas was dismissive. With a gesture of his hand, a blue-purple glow also appeared on the walls of Fusha City, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
The brown walls rushed towards the white walls, which were already close at hand.
It took less than two seconds for the city to fully accelerate from near standstill to the fastest speed, "riding the sand and breaking the waves", setting off a tide of sand and earth.
There were a few screams mixed in.
It's just the blink of an eye.
The two conveniences collided together.
A furious shockwave swept through everything. Many fell from the walls. The overwhelming sound of terror caused many soldiers in the city to bleed from their mouths and noses.
The two cities were at a stalemate for two seconds.
And thenβ
Pale shroud, shattered.
For the first time in history, the walls of the pure white city, which had never been scarred, had a hideous crack!
