Chapter Fifty-Eight - The Summoning
Hurrying and hurrying, Lu Ming and the others took most of them with great difficulty to feel this side of the Azetus Plain at noon on the third day of departure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as they entered this plain, the prototype of a magic array that was so huge that it was almost the size of a city came into the eyes of Lu Ming and the others, and they couldn't help but admire these magicians of Stix a little. Although there are still a lot of details in this magic array that need more magicians to complete, Stix's courage to do what he says is still very admirable.
Seeing that Lu Ming and the others arrived here in time with a large army, Viscount Oberic immediately ran over with Count Cassie and saluted the two archdukes.
And Archduke Raels and Archduke Ferram did not snub them, and directly asked the two of them not to be polite.
After a slight greeting, Lu Ming and Viscount Oberic went to the construction site of the magic array, while the others were arranged by Count Cassie to camp on the side of a large and small lake formed by the gushing of groundwater not far away.
"Magician! Go faster! We're pressed for time! As soon as he approached the unfinished magic array, Lu Ming heard the shouts of Count Farisas urging a few magicians who seemed to be a little tired.
"Viscount, have you decided where to summon the fortress?" Seeing the magicians busily carving this huge magic array on the earth with sharp wind magic, Lu Ming asked Viscount Oberic with some concern.
As a great magician who can also summon magic, Lu Ming knows that summoning magic is unreliable. The understanding of summoning magic and the somewhat rough techniques of these Styx magicians in front of him all made Lu Ming a little worried, so he wanted to know what kind of fortress these people were going to summon, so he had a bottom in his heart.
Probably sensing Lu Ming's uneasiness, Viscount Oberic smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Viscount Lu Ming." At one time, we just summoned the undead fortress on the other side of the Gaia Forest. This is also what we said with the royal family and Grand Duke Hasta of Karksa. ā
When he heard that Oberic and the others just wanted to take the Dolan Gureg Fortress in the Gaia Forest near Mirakaiza's imperial capital, which had been summoned by Amani, Lu Ming's heart that had been hanging was finally able to let go.
It's just that Lu Ming is a little curious, can it really work in that dilapidated fortress? In his mind, the fortress did not seem to be large, and many places were ruined, and it could not be used as a fortress to defend against enemy troops.
However, at this time, Tadarimus Unos suddenly walked to Lu Ming's side and said to Lu Ming: "Since you left Orenor, the royal family has arranged for people to repair and expand the fortress, and now it is almost the size of a city. Moreover, its sturdiness is not comparable to that of ordinary fortresses. Without the protection of the magic array, even if the sword qi of the dragon-blooded brave slash, its walls could easily resist it. The royal family has done a test, and the dragon blood bravery's gang qi attack, its wall can withstand nine attacks before it collapses. Therefore, Viscount Lu Ming didn't have to worry about whether it would be able to block the attack of Alpha's army at all! ā
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help frowning, and said, "Is this matter only known to the Principality of Styx?" ā
"This ...... This, please forgive Viscount Lu Ming, I can't say. Asked by Lu Ming's words, Tadarimus held back for a long time before he spoke.
Seeing that Tadarimus refused to answer this question, Lu Ming couldn't help but sneer, and joined in the work of carving the magic array with the Aries Scepter.
The matter of repairing the fortress of Dolanguleg, which was summoned to the Forest of Gaia, was known to at least two or three principalities, and Errepos and Tartarus, who were the most economically capable of all the principalities now, naturally could not know about it. The fortress was repaired to defend against possible attacks by Erepos and Tartarus.
It's unpleasant that the royal family and the principalities involved don't trust Errepos and Tartarus very much. It's just that it's only natural that they'll be on guard against Erepos and Tartarus. After all, no one trusted anyone in the principalities before, and suddenly let these principalities hold together, there will always be some principalities that will be suspicious, so as to prepare some back-ups, so as not to cause anything bad to happen.
Lu Ming understands this very well. But he understands that he understands, and if the two archdukes understand it or not, no one knows.
If the two Grand Dukes were furious after knowing about this, Lu Ming would not say anything good for anyone!
In addition, no matter how much the royal family tried to repair the fortress, it was not a wedding dress for them now. Now that you have promised to summon that fortress at a critical moment, if you want to take it back, don't even think about it~!
With Lu Ming's addition, many other magicians from Erepos and Tartarus also joined in the portrayal of the magic array.
"Wind Plow!" After chanting, some magicians called out the names of the magic they used, and then they saw invisible and colorless wind blades cutting deep ravines in the ground, perfecting the magic array little by little.
Watching the work of carving the magic array progressing towards completion little by little, Viscount Oberic suddenly said to Tadarimus on the side: "This lord of the royal family, can you please go and inform the Grand Duke of Erepos and Tartarus in advance which fortress we are going to summon is which fortress?" ā
As soon as he heard this, Tadarims was stupid. He never dreamed that Viscount Oberic would sell him.
Those two grand dukes are not Lu Ming, once the fire starts and wants to hang him, no one here will have the courage to jump out and say a word for him!
So he rolled his eyes, and said to Viscount Oberik: "There is still something in my army, so please leave this matter to Viscount Hecate." ā
After saying that, he ran away, leaving no room for Viscount Oberic to speak, which made her stunned and stunned.
Seeing this, Lu Ming, who was not far away, couldn't help laughing, causing Viscount Oberic to glare at him.
But at this time, Lu Ming suddenly smiled and pointed behind her, making her turn her head and look behind, only to see the two grand dukes standing behind her, looking at her with an unhappy face......
Soon after, the entire camp heard Viscount Oberik's screams, which startled many people.
It also makes people like people who don't know the truth think that Viscount Oberic has made some mistake and has been beaten!
-----------------------------------
The summoning magic array is a very delicate and complex magic array, especially this kind of giant magic array, which needs to depict a series of things such as magic patterns, spells, etc., which require magicians to depict a very, very long time, so it is only half a day, which is not enough to complete the depiction.
So after it was completely dark, all the magicians who had consumed their mana had eaten a simple dinner, and went to sleep early to slowly recover their mana.
Only Lu Ming and Raman Lasi were forced to stay in the military tent of the Grand Dukes, and together with many commanders, they held boring meetings until late at night.
By the time the two of them came out of the Grand Duke's tent with their tired bodies on their backs, most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, and the Chimera had already fallen asleep waiting for them.
Crawling to the simple low bed very quickly, Lu Ming hugged Chimera and Raman Lace left and right, ready to sleep. But at this time, he suddenly heard the conversation of several patrolling soldiers outside the military tent.
"Have you heard?"
"What?"
"It's the fact that the fortress that the magicians are going to summon has a haunted legend!"
"Wouldn't it? Didn't the royal family build that fortress for this war, just in case? How can the ghost be inexplicably haunted? ā
"What do you know! My cousin-in-law is a side branch of the royal family, and although he is now a thousand-captain under Lord Tadarims, he is still well-informed. He told me that the fortress was not built by the royal family at all, but was repaired and expanded by the undead fortress summoned to the Gaia Forest by the rebels of Evennes! ā
"What!? It was repaired and expanded with the fortress of the undead?! ā
"Shhhh Do you want to wake everyone up? ā
"Oh. Sorry, sorry. I'm just a little surprised. By the way, what's going on with the haunting inside this fortress? ā
"That fortress used to be the fortress of Dolan Gureig, the kingdom of the undead, but it was destroyed by a war with a giant on their side that would turn into a tree when they died. Although all the strange giants in the fortress were killed by the undead of Dolan Gureig, the undead who were not Dolan Gureg were also transformed by the war. Because the resentment is so deep, even if the fortress is in the Gaia Forest, at night, there will still be people who will see the ghosts of Doranguleg's soldiers slashing the Giant's Tree with weapons on the side of the Giant's Tree! ā
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile helplessly, not ready to continue listening. However, it was found that Raman Rath and Chimera were trembling with fear because of the soldiers' conversation.
In this way, he couldn't help shouting: "You guys don't patrol, what are you doing there to make others sleep!?" ā
Immediately, the soldiers were scared away.
At this time, Raman Rath asked with some fear: "Inside that fortress, it won't really be haunted, right?" ā
The Chimera on the other side asked in the same way, "You can deal with ghosts, right?" ā
I didn't expect that my two wives, who were not timid at all on the battlefield, were actually afraid of ghosts, Lu Ming, looked at the pitiful appearance of Raman Rath and Chimera, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, everything is with me!" ā
Hearing this, Raman Lace and Chimera couldn't help but drill into Lu Ming's arms.
In this way, the three of them fell asleep peacefully until the next day...... Four o'clock in the morning......
-----------------------------------
"Hurry up and get up to complete the magic array!!"
Before dawn, a loud scream woke Lu Ming and the three of them from their warm sleep.
Because they had been in a meeting at night, Lu Ming and they didn't fall asleep until just after one o'clock, so at this time, Lu Ming and the others were naturally furious. Like many magicians who have not yet regained their full mana, the first thing they do when they put on their clothes and walk out of the tent is to settle accounts with the person who woke them up.
And the man who was assigned to this very easy job was Viscount Oberik, who had been lectured by the two archdukes yesterday. So the only person who spanked her in the end was the Duke Raman Lass.
After Oberic was beaten to tears by Raman Lath, Lu Ming and the other magicians who had been disturbed by their dreams went back to breakfast and carved the magic circle with satisfaction. As for the poor viscount of Oberik, she could only be comforted by the Earl of Winsland, who had entrusted her with this task.
After Lu Ming had eaten breakfast, washed his face, and joined in the work of portraying the magic array, Count Farisias, who was not far away, suddenly ran over inexplicably, and looked around mysteriously to confirm that there was no one eavesdropping around.
This made Lu Ming very puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ā
"Well, do you Yugosotus know how to summon magic?" After confirming that there was no one around, Count Farisas asked Lu Ming in a low voice.
"Basically all of our magicians do."
"That's... Will it summon buildings? ā
"A few will summon huts and stuff."
"That ......"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Lu Ming had a very bad premonition, and couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't the magicians in your Styx troops not summon buildings?" ā
In Lu Ming's almost desperate eyes, Count Farisias nodded......
"Where's your cheating daddy!? I can't summon buildings, so you're playing with us by letting them draw magic circles here~?!!!! Because of desperation, anger arose, and Lu Ming immediately grabbed the earl's clothes and yelled angrily.
Hearing Lu Ming's shout, Yugsotus and the magicians of the other troops stopped what they were doing and looked at the magicians of Styx gloomily, and finally the magicians of Styx were collectively beaten for deceiving everyone's feelings.
Although the magic array must be drawn in the end, at this time, Stix can only get the best proposal award at most, and he can't get the biggest credit in everyone's hearts like before.
Most of the magic array was completed by us, and the summoning was also summoned by us, so in the end, you took the greatest credit, why? Besides, this proposal was also a proposal that everyone got after discussion, and it wasn't made by your Styx family!
Based on this idea, after the magic array was completed, the magicians of the various principalities strictly forbade the magicians of Styx, the land of magic, to get one step closer to the magic array, so that they could only stand far away, and watched with tears in their eyes as Lu Ming led a large number of magicians from various troops who were not magicians of the Principality of Styx, and began to chant incantations and summon the fortress over.
With the slow chanting of the incantation, a terrifying thunder shone in the huge magic array, and the storm blew up the grass and red earth, pouring into the magic array, and in the bursts of lightning and thunder like the roar of the dragon, it was compressed into a small ball in the center of the magic array.
Eventually, the ball was sucked into a spatial crack that suddenly appeared, and the surrounding light and darkness were also sucked into it, and in a crisp sound of glass shattering, it erupted into extremely brilliant colors.
When all is silent, the fortress in the depths of the Gaia Forest, near the imperial capital of Miracaiza, is called here.
However, it seems that Lu Ming has summoned an unknown area in addition to this fortress......
