In the deep dungeon, I had just experienced a strange blood-red mist attack, and I was in a coma for nearly four hours, and at this time, I never knew that a person ran out of that corner, frantically calling myself to die......
When Gordon encountered this situation, he naturally did not hesitate, and a Freeman missile storm blessed with a mid-level spell instant, poured out from his fingertips. The bright silver missile weaves an elegant web of silver energy against the dark background, and then explodes.
The target was knocked backwards by the continuous force field energy, and then fell to the ground with a scream.
This self-created spell has increased with the growth of Gordon's strength, as well as continuous improvement, and now it is more than three times more powerful than when the original creation zĂ o came out. He believed that this spell had now reached the strength of the four-ring spell, and it was the most powerful of the several four-ring plastic energy faction spells he had mastered now.
Two men walked up to the attacker. Gordon was about to cast a lighting spell to take a good look, but was stopped by Renus: "Save some spell slots, we don't know what lies ahead." â
She pulled out the dawn and illuminated it with the dawn light that naturally radiated from the blade.
"Women are born to be calculating, whether it's shopping or ......fighting," Gordon said to himself.
With a steady bright light source, Gordon finally saw the assailant's appearance clearly. She is the female archer who attacked Antonov with a dark arrow and was slapped by Avelan.
Gordon's missile storm blew her body into a bloody blur, but the worst of her injuries. It was a sword wound that cut off her entire right arm. And judging by the scorch marks at the wound. The sword should have a fierce flame energy on it.
"Antonov?" Renus raised her eyebrows slightly, and her green eyes scrutinized the corpse.
"Quite possibly. These two people originally had a conflict, but they were suppressed because they took care of the overall situation. Under the influence of the blood-red mist just now, Antonov became uncontrollable, and it was not impossible to seek revenge. â
After listening to Gordon's analysis, Renus's brows tightened, "I hope this is just a private revenge between the two, if it spreads to the entire camp......"
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Even we were both affected by the blood-red mist. Others are even less likely to be spared. Now I just hope that it doesn't get too bad. Thinking of the worst-case scenario possible, Gordon's voice sank.
After the two men returned to the camp, what they saw along the way confirmed Gordon's pessimistic speculation more and more.
The jumble of arrows inserted into the humus earth, the slashing marks left by the rock walls and the marks of energy explosions all testify to the fierce battle that took place nearby.
After returning to the camp. Gordon now had all the tents destroyed, both on his side and on the other side of the Eisenstein family, and the flames were raging. Dozens of corpses were scattered around, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
Fortunately, the two of them carefully inspected the messy camp, which belonged to their own side. There were only the corpses of two Golden Dragon Sword Guards and a priest of the Temple of Dawn. The rest of the team was nowhere to be seen.
In an optimistic direction, they may have escaped safely during the battle, but only temporarily dispersed.
"What do we do now?" Renus asked.
"Try to find Jude...... But if we don't have time, I'm afraid that in the end, the two of us will have to find a way to complete the task. â
As long as the rainbow crystal in the dimensional bag is still there. Gordon's mission did not fail.
"I wish I knew what happened when I was unconscious." Renus flipped open the corpse of a golden dragon sword guard that had fallen to the ground. Now the opponent's breastplate was pierced from the back to the front with a fist-sized hole.
Gordon looked at a large puddle of water under the corpse and said, "Ice pick." Ruth, Jiaxi, and Ashna couldn't have mastered this five-ring plastic energy spell. So it's definitely Efran's masterpiece. â
There are many possible reasons for the conflict between his own side and Eflan. Perhaps it was Antonov who couldn't bear the revenge and ran to take revenge on the female shooter, but the skirmish between the two sides was uncontrollable and eventually turned into a big war. Maybe Jude revealed some secret in his communication with Ephran that made the female mage have the intention of killing people. However, the most likely thing is that Gordon is still inclined to be the blood-red mist that is so thick that it can't be dissolved, and the mental states of the members on both sides have undergone uncontrollable changes, which finally led to this battle.
"What should we do?"
Gordon pondered for a moment: "First, we should find the teammates who are separated. However, if you look for them one by one, the efficiency is too low, and I am afraid that it will be too late. The best thing to do is to go to the reserved place and wait. There are as many people as you can meet. The task must continue before the time node. â
Renus nodded in agreement.
"Where's your backup map? Is it still there? Gordon asked.
The team brought with them two maps of the dungeon that had been drawn by Imperial intelligence officers to collect information from various sources. Jude, as the captain, has one in his hand. The remaining one was in the hands of the female paladin.
"It's still there. I know the way, let's go. â
âŚâŚ
After five hours of hiking, around noon, the two men came to an abandoned circular masonry building. A three-meter-deep and five-meter-wide trench was dug around the building, densely lined with sharp, polished stone pillars. Aside from the many honeycomb-like shooting holes and observation holes, there are no windows throughout the building.
This is supposed to be one of the satellite fortresses of the final destination, the Black Spider Fortress. In times of war, such forts can be used as outposts and support points, and in conjunction with the main fortresses for defensive warfare.
The two of them found a clean stone and sat down to rest. Gordon took out the pupper, bread, mint drink, and shared it with Renus.
Renus put her legs together and used her thighs as a makeshift table, spread a clean handkerchief, and laid out the food on it. A female holy warrior who is brave and resolute in battle, and fearless in the face of evil, but when eating, she is extraordinarily "soft", and every small action reflects the charm of women.
"It tastes good, better than the temple." She took a small bite of bread and said.
"Uncle Bud, who came from my family, is really good at his craft, and the simplest food can make a special taste." Gordon pointed to the pale green drink in the cup, "This drink has herbs such as mint leaves, which is great for refreshing your mind." In this state of affairs, we both need it very much. â
If it's a picnic with a pretty girl like Renus in a beautiful forest, it's a pleasant thing. It's a pity that at that time, it was really a bit out of place.
After eating, the two patiently stayed in the fort for another three hours, but still did not wait for any of their teammates.
They all knew that they couldn't stay like this anymore and that they had to move on. Even if there are only two people left, this time the mission must be completed.
But if you keep going, the danger will increase dramatically. Before reaching the satellite fort, Gordon and Renus had encountered two patrols of the Three Holy Baptist Order. Each patrol is made up of two warriors, a wanderer, and a full-fledged mage who can cast at least one ring of spells. If it weren't for Gordon's own strong eyesight and hearing, and the help of various detection spells, I'm afraid it would be difficult not to be revealed.
But if it continues, the danger will increase considerably.
"Since we can't complete the task according to the normal plan because of an accident, we are the only ones who rely on the two of us. All I need to do now is find a suitable place where I can use the rainbow crystal to open the portal. â
Gordon didn't sense that there was a large-scale teleportation prohibition circle near the Black Spider Fortress, so the countermeasures prepared in advance were useless. On his own, he was able to complete the work of opening the teleportation channel and summoning a large army. That's probably the only good news for today. But the problem is that this kind of large-scale teleportation is not the kind of small-scale teleportation of one or two people that Gordon used to do.
It takes more than two hours to set up the circle and open the portal with the rainbow crystal as the core. Not only because this spell is very complicated, but also because after receiving Gordon's notice, it will take a certain amount of time for Blue Water City to assemble the troops on standby. After all, it is impossible for people to stand by in front of the teleportation array twenty-four hours without eating or drinking, waiting for the information to be transmitted back from here.
In addition, after the circle is activated, the arcane energy it dissipates will become more and more intense, and it will be revealed by the Three Holy Baptists, which is a matter of time.
The reason why Grand Duke Antelo and the others wanted to send a team with strong combat effectiveness to carry out this mission was also due to the fact that during the period from the activation of the teleportation array to its completion, reliable force was needed to resist the counterattack of the Three Holy Baptists.
But now, there's only one Renus by Gordon's side. Reinhardt.
Although the female paladin is very powerful, there is also a legendary weapon such as "Daybreak". But she couldn't protect the entire teleportation circle alone.
So, Gordon had to find a place that was hidden enough that it would not be easily visible until the teleportation circle was completed. And it had to be close enough to the Three Holy Baptist lairs to allow the main force to launch a surprise attack and catch the enemy off guard.
How difficult it is to find such a place.
However, after Gordon told Renus about his analysis, the latter thought about it and actually gave an answer that surprised Gordon: "I remember that there is such a place on the map that meets your requirements. â
"Really? I've also looked at the map, how come I don't remember such a place? Gordon looked straight into Reynas's emerald eyes.
"You're mistaken. You're under too much mental stress these days, and you're being affected by the blood-red mist. â
"Maybe." Gordon shrugged and followed Renus, continuing the seemingly impossible task.
