On this day, Meng Chen came to the Arcane Mage Tower's Secret Law Hall to hold a promotion ceremony for an enchanted apprentice.

When the mage's promotion ceremony was over, Meng Chen immediately checked his attributes.

。。。。。。

"His name is Keynes? Could it be that after the caster is promoted to the transcendent, he can awaken his true name? Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

Meng Chen patted Keynes on the shoulder and smiled, "From now on, you are the chief mage of the Enchanted School of the City of Hope!" ”

Keynes bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Lord!" ”

"Keynes, how is your research progressing so far, the artifact embryo in the Enchantment Workshop? Can I enchant it? Meng Chen asked.

Keynes shook his head and said, "My lord, we tried to enchant the artifact embryos, but none of the known enchantment formulas were successful. ”

"It seems that those magic embryos are chicken ribs for the City of Hope!" Meng Chen sighed, then continued to ask, "What about the other three magic weapons?" ”

Keynes replied, "Lord Lord, you couldn't activate the three magic weapons before, but now that your subordinates have been promoted to be attached to the magician, you can try to forcibly activate them!"

"Oh?"

Meng Chen followed Keynes to the Enchantment Workshop with a curious face.

The three magic artifacts brought back from the Zhuhai attic of the Hellfire Palace were a bronze round mirror with a cloud dragon pattern, a white hosta with a Qingluan bird, and a purple starlight Luo skirt.

Placing the cloud dragon bronze mirror on the enchantment table, Keynes carefully stroked the edge of the bronze mirror.

At the same time, Keynes was chanting incantations in his mouth, and his hands glowed with a bright yellow light.

Three minutes passed, Keynes stopped chanting, shook his head helplessly, and set aside the bronze round mirror with the cloud dragon pattern.

Then, Keynes began to activate the white hosta of the Qingluan Bird.

Bell~!

With the crisp chirping sound, the white hosta of the Qingluan bird lit up with a bright streamer, and a white luan bird gradually showed its shape.

With a body length of four meters and a wingspan of more than six meters, this luan bird is covered in bright white feathers, and its tail feathers are made of rays of starlight.

After the bird appeared, it did not flutter its wings and fly high, but obediently stayed by Keynes's side.

"It's beautiful!"

Although he was amazed by the beauty of Luanniao, Meng Chen did not dare to step forward easily, after all, this was a spiritual creature summoned by a magic weapon, and it was definitely not just beautiful.

Just as Meng Chen was about to continue watching the test, Ellie hurriedly walked into the enchantment workshop and reported, "Lord Lord, a large number of light spots have appeared in the northwest of the Earth Dragon Valley, and they are rapidly approaching the mountain pass at this moment. Among these points of light are one dark red spot, eight red spots, ten light red spots, and more than 200 yellow and green spots. ”

"What?"

Meng Chen's face changed, and he secretly said in his heart: "On the southern frontier boundary, can you have such strength...... Only Wumeng City and Nanban City! Could it be that the matter of Nagus has been revealed? ”

After pondering for a moment, Meng Chen said in a loud voice: "Order Alfred and Chris to lead the elite soldiers to the mountain pass to set up defenses." Ellie, you have to be ready for battle, too!"

"Yes, my lord!"

With Meng Chen's order, Alfred and Chris, leading five hundred knights and five hundred rangers, quickly galloped towards the mountain pass.

As for Meng Chen and Ellie, they led two hundred sword and shield warriors, two hundred sharpbow archers, three mage apprentices, forty elite knights, forty elite rangers, and forty enchanted three-bow bed crossbows, and also marched quickly towards the mountain pass pass.

Today, the City of Hope's three-bow bed crossbow has evolved into its third generation.

Although the Enchanted Three-Bow Bed Crossbow and Crossbow Bolt have not yet reached light blue quality, they are so powerful that even Alfred dare not resist them.

If it is combined with the Yin Damaged Giant Beast Venom, it can even cause fatal damage to the Yuan Fetal Realm powerhouse.

In order to deal with the possible vicious battle, Meng Chen deliberately brought a batch of giant beast venom.

This batch of giant beast venom is of light blue quality, and its raw material comes from the venom glands of demon beast-level giant beasts.

Due to the huge size of the monster-level behemoth, the volume of a venom gland is as high as one cube.

After each venom gland is separated by the doctor, more than three hundred bottles of giant beast venom can be obtained.

Currently, there are three demon beast-level behemoth venom glands in the City of Hope, which is enough to extract thousands of bottles of light blue quality behemoth venom.

。。。。。。

Behemoth Venom (light blue)

Toxic Damage: A-

Duration: 120 minutes

Effect 1: Pain +60%

Effect 2: Corrosion +60%

Effect 3: Paralysis +60%

Effect 4: Pollution +60%

Note: Smearing it on the surface of a weapon can inflict poison damage on that weapon!

。。。。。。

When Alfred and Chris arrived at the Pass, they quickly set up an improvised line of defense outside the northern parapet.

Chris rode a topaz-colored moon-gazing rhinoceros, leading two hundred blue-rock rhinoceros knights and three hundred brute bull knights to form a neat knight army formation thirty meters away from the parapet.

Alfred led three hundred rangers and garrisoned the platform at the top of the northern parapet.

Due to the insufficient area of the platform at the top of the parapet, the remaining two hundred rangers could only follow behind the knight army on wolf beasts.

Note: When rebuilding the north parapet wall, Meng Chen deliberately set up a three-meter-wide platform at the top of the parapet wall to facilitate the rangers to shoot from a high position.

When Meng Chen and his party arrived at the mountain pass, Ellie and the three mage apprentices immediately climbed to the four magic turrets.

Elite Knights and Elite Ranger are responsible for guarding forty enchanted three-bow bed crossbows and building a crossbow line in front of four magical turrets.

As for the two hundred sword and shield warriors and the two hundred sharpbow archers, they stayed in the crossbow line to wind the enchanted three-bow bed crossbow.

With everything in place, Meng Chen boarded the lookout platform of the guard tower and looked towards the northwest with a solemn expression.

About a stick of incense had passed, and a galloping cloud of smoke appeared on the northwest side of the pass.

Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!

With the sound of drums resounding through the sky, the entire ground began to shake slightly.

It didn't take long for a wild cavalry to appear in the northwest.

Although the number of this cavalry is not large, their mounts are quite remarkable.

Especially the six wild mammoths, like moving hills.

The largest of them all, the Wild Mammoth, was over ten meters tall and nearly twenty meters long, with a small attic on its back.

At the top of the attic sat an old man holding a white bone banner and painted with strange colored patterns.

After seeing the old man's outfit, Meng Chen muttered in his heart, "Is he the beast soul sacrifice of the Southern Barbarian Clan?" ”
