As long as one of the secret passages can be activated, the secret method buried in the underground of the copper plate city for hundreds of years can be activated.
In order to build these two secret passages, the Monte family spent a lot of energy and money. But now it seems that this kind of backhand should be as good as possible.
The old man's face was solemn, and his voice was as heavy as a block of lead: "I can barely activate it, but these two secret spells are so old that I don't know if they can still work." β
After all, it is a hundred-year-old thing, even if each generation of the city lord of Tongban City will maintain and repair these two ciphertexts according to the ancestral teachings, but it is inevitable that there will be some slackness after a long time. It's hard to guarantee that there will be something missing that won't be activated.
"Try your best to succeed, it's up to you whether we can survive or not!"
The old city lord glanced solemnly at the ciphertext that was flickering with a faint glow, and turned to leave.
As soon as the old man turned his head, a wave of qi shining with dazzling light exploded behind him.
The old city lord turned around in surprise, and the expression on his face, which had been tense, immediately eased a lot: "It's started?!" The voice was pleasantly surprised.
The old man of the rune did not have the surprise he imagined, but glanced at the activated ciphertext with a complicated face, and his voice was indescribably complicated: "It has been activated, but the effect is missing at least one-third, and the maintenance time has been shortened to less than an hour." β
When the old city lord heard this, his heart sank, and he secretly scolded his father and grandfather. Even if this generation of old city lords has a sense of crisis and begins to repair the ciphertext as much as possible, but after all, it is a very large and hidden project, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
And this ciphertext is also the last hole card of the Monte family, it stands to reason enough to smash most of them to a certain weirdness, but because of the lack of repair and maintenance, the effect is greatly reduced.
The ciphertext effect, which could have lasted three hours, has been shortened to less than an hour. The effect of ciphertext has also been reduced by one-third, which is a conservative estimate of the old man of runes, and if the real number is said, the old man of runes is afraid of causing panic. So I lied about a slightly higher number.
The old city lord is so good, as soon as he looks at the old man's expression, he knows that he has falsely reported the number of jΓΉ, and in this way, the situation is even worse.
"There's enough time, everyone prepare!"
The old city lord screamed, and everyone began to quickly carry a large number of stone coffins into the secret passage.
There are more than 30 stone coffins. This is also the corpse of a person who matches the ciphertext collected by successive city lords.
The cries and wails above suddenly became violent, and the old city lord's expression sank, and he said coldly: "Begin!" β
Running through the entire Copper Plate City, the super-large ciphertext that had been absorbing the free elements slowly lit up.
This ciphertext is embedded in the entire secret passage, and the smallest volume is at least the size of a watermelon. The largest can almost reach the size of an adult.
After more than 30 coffins were placed in the correct position, a faint "click" sound of the card slot sounded continuously.
"Adjust the ciphertext to flame!!"
Because of the uncertainty of the crisis, the entire ciphertext absorbed all the elemental bodies, so the volume was so huge, which also showed the courage of the pioneer of Monte Copper Plate City at the beginning.
With the order of the old city lord, several old men who had been living in the secret passage around them quickly activated the flame passage in the ciphertext, and a large area of fire-red streamers was visible to the naked eye. Bursts of scorching elemental tides emerge from the passages.
These tides were channeled by ciphertext and poured into the stone coffins, which quickly turned red and warmed, and there was even a foul smell of boiling antiseptics coming from inside.
There are not only corpses collected in modern times, but also the corpses of suitable wizards collected in previous generations of Copperplate City.
The wizards were originally elemental fits, and after they died, the nature of that elemental fit still existed, but even as the boss of Tongban City. It's only a dozen or so corpses of this kind of wizard that have been collected, which shows the preciousness of this thing.
The fiery red tide jumps and gradually intensifies. The air slowly warmed up, and the hair of the people around them showed scorch marks. Sweat could not stop everyone's anticipation, and their eyes converged on the coffins that had turned fiery red, and they could not take their eyes off it.
As the elemental tide ended, there was also a flurry of movement in the copper-red coffin.
Calmly counted the numbers. Only half, about fifteen or sixteen coffins, moved, and the rest of the coffins emitted a dead scorching smell.
"Enough!"
In disrepair and lack of maintenance, you can also get sixteen second-order fire wizards. It's good luck.
The old lord took out the necklace that had been hanging around his neck since birth, and pried open the iron-gray shell outside, revealing the sparkling gems that had turned fiery red inside.
As the gemstone comes into contact with the air, invisible ripples ripple through the air. Spurred on by the ripples, sixteen stiff, shriveled corpses stood up.
The bodies ranged from male to female, and of various ages. The only thing they had in common was that they both had two big red eyes, and the shards of light wrapped around their bodies were constantly exploding with a large area of fire-based magical power.
This is an unstable phenomenon, but it should be fortunate to be able to start at this time, and the old city lord does not dare to continue to ask for anything.
"Counterattack now!!" Accompanied by the voice of the old city lord, sixteen second-order fire wizards behind him lined up to follow behind the old city lord.
A full sixteen second-order wizards, even if they are placed in the Witch League, they are not weak, but they did not expect to appear in a rural place like Monte Copper Plate City.
Fortunately, this secret is only known to the direct male members of the Monte family, and even the Rose family, who have been intermarrying the Monte family, has not received the slightest information.
This became the biggest turning point in the battle.
When the city lord appeared on the battlefield with sixteen second-order wizards with powerful breaths, the situation had reached a very critical moment.
Even the giant red-faced hyenas were not used, and those ordinary red-faced hyenas had already broken through the walls of the prison outside.
They possess agility that ordinary first-order professionals can't match, and a crazy spirit that is not afraid of death. Even if they die, they will give birth to a small speed-type hyena before they die.
The small hyena, which had a short survival time but did not need the protection of the frost mist, became a nightmare for the last remnants of the Copperplate City.
Their speed is faster than that of red-faced hyenas, and the speed that normal people, even first-order professionals, can't see, is not at all something that normal humans can compete with.
So when the old city lord appeared, he was faced with a crisis situation.
"Attack!!"
The old city lord roared angrily, and a large field of fire bombs rained down on those red-faced hyenas.
Even if this corpse was a second-order wizard forcibly catalyzed, it was a second-order after all. (To be continued)
