Chapter 562: It's Time to Open Up the Wasteland!
In the end, the Dragon Soul Inheritors unanimously approved Rod's proposal. After all, this is indeed an opportunity for them, especially the testimony of Lydia and Irene, who had been to that place, which made Lilian, Shigal and Nalya full of fantasies. They had never been able to figure out what the world would be like one day if there was no chaos, but now that they had a chance to break free from the shackles of chaos forever, they couldn't let it go.
However, the sacrifices made for this are also significant.
According to Rhodes's plan, in order to better teleport, three layers of protective shields should be built in the Dragon Soul Continent to prevent the invasion of Chaos. The outermost two layers of barriers will be discarded at the last minute. It is conceivable that once the Dragon Soul Continent is perceived by Chaos that it intends to leave, then they will definitely do everything possible to prevent the migration of the Dragon Soul Continent, and with the current strength of the Dragon Soul Continent, it is absolutely impossible to completely resist the invasion of Chaos, so Rod's method is to form three layers of protection to resist the attack of Chaos as much as possible, and once one of the layers is occupied by Chaos, then immediately abandon it completely without hesitation. Just as people on the earth will also carry out secondary separation when they launch satellites, when the rocket of the "Dragon Soul Continent" is "launched", it is necessary to discard those redundant parts that will cause danger to it according to the situation, leaving only the core.
This is also dangerous for the Dragon Soul Continent, because in the end, according to the calculations of the Dragon Soul inheritors, the total area of the Dragon Soul Continent that needs to be given up is about millions of square kilometers, which is already equivalent to the land area of several large countries on the earth. In the end, what remains is the core area where the Kingdom of Law, the Void Lord, Moon, the Land of Light, and the Kingdom of Night are interconnected. Until that time. The Dragon Soul Inheritors will use the power of the Dragon Soul Protector to protect the land to the limit, so that they can withstand the fluctuations of spatial turbulence.
At the same time, one of the largest migrations in the history of the Dragon Soul Continent was launched. Under the leadership of the Inheritors of the Dragon Soul, most of the people in the border region were forcibly evacuated and relocated to the Void Realm's Grandia-centric area. The undead also abandoned the defenses they had built for years and began to retreat. The elves and angels handle the migration. And the magic guide fleet in Rhodes' hands and the floating ships of the Duchy of Moon naturally became the main force of transportation.
Of course, not everyone is willing to leave their land, and Rhodes does not force this, everyone has their own aspirations, if they are willing to die in the land where they were born and raised, then let them go. And............... At best, it can more or less hinder the process of chaos erosion, and it can be regarded as waste utilization.
Everything is starting to get hectic in an orderly manner, and most people don't know what they're going through, only that it's something extraordinary. They were forced to leave their homes. Your own land, your own hometown, go to an unfamiliar land to live. Merchants were united to move their food and supplies from their warehouses to the heart of the city in response to the likely chaos crisis. On the other hand, elite squads were sent out to the edges of the fortified fortresses and walls, and began to build tall, dark triangular minarets. Almost all the strong were called. Mobilize to ensure that you are prepared to deal with the onslaught of Chaos. Maybe during the Dragon Soul Wars. They can be indifferent and watch from afar, but now, when things matter themselves, it is naturally impossible for these people to watch the fire from the other side, whether they like it or not. They all have to contribute to the land. Especially after hearing that they were about to leave the encirclement of chaos forever and go to a safer world, even the most indisputable races agreed to participate in this unprecedented war.
But even that wasn't enough.
The atmosphere in the brightly lit hall is solemn. At the ornate solid wood round table, representatives of almost all races and leaders of organizations gathered to prepare for the battle that followed. Unfortunately, there is almost no good news coming from each side of them right now.
"At the moment, the news coming from the various lines of defense does not seem to be optimistic."
Sieger tossed the information on the table, and she looked up at the crowd in front of her.
"What do you guys think?"
"We're working on it."
Leo, dressed in pitch-black leather armor with white skin and long hair, was βββthe first to answer, and now she is the supreme queen of Calessodar. As the first ruler in the history of the Dark Elves who cannot use spells, she has mastered the ten families of the Dark Elves underground, becoming the unique king of this eternal dark world underground.
"Both the gnomes and the bear goblins have joined us, but at the current pace, it will take us another half a month to build the final defense circle and activate the beacon tower. We've done our best, but frankly, we're still understaffed. Truth be told, even if we do build the Ring of Defenses, I don't know if we'll have enough manpower to patrol and defend against the erosion of Chaos. β
"It's not just you, Blackskin! It's the same with us dwarves! β
With a loud sound like a quarrel, another dwarf sitting in a chair, wearing heavy iron armor, looking like a walking can, also waved his hands dissatisfied, as if he wanted to say something, but the short arms only waved in the air for a moment, and then slapped on the table with a heavy "bang", and even the entire round table jumped with a shock.
"We weren't going to come to this troubled water! But now that you've done it, it's time to do your best! But we dwarves have a limited number of men, and your huge plan is simply not enough to support so many people! We're experts in architecture, but other aspects are a different story! Anyway, if there aren't enough people in charge of fighting Chaos, don't expect me to call my wife and children too! β
Saying this, the dwarf king glared dissatisfiedly at the cold figure sitting on the other side, as if blending into the darkness.
"If you want to say, this kind of trick is better than those undead creatures, isn't it?"
"Hehehe............... I think you may be misunderstood, King of the Dwarves. β
An old man. It was as if the voice coming out of the grave sounded out of thin air, so much so that the entire conference room seemed to fall below zero out of thin air at this moment. The withered skeleton in the ornate robe looked up, and a cold cold light jumped in the dark eye holes, and the pale skin as white as paper was wrapped around the skeleton, which looked chilling. The Lich King replied with a chuckle in his hand and his ice crystal staff.
"Necromancy's skill also has its limits. We can awaken the dead and give them a second life and greater strength, but only for the living. What's more, time is the greatest test for the undead, and only those who pass this test can have great power. Unfortunately, while we can create undead creatures in large quantities, we can't also give them the power of the people of Chaos......... It is not until hundreds or thousands of years of training that they can reach the level of being independent, and in that sense. On the contrary, we are not as free and potential as the living. β
At this point, the Lich King turned his gaze to his side.
"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, the Dark Family has added a lot of ......... lately"
"You're joking, Lich King."
In the face of the Lich King's inquiry, her face did not change at all, and the girl in the gorgeous, bright red goth dress raised her eyebrows slightly, and Angelinte, the scarlet princessβββ said with a breezy smile.
"I think you know as well as I do about the Bloodline's breeding skills. If it weren't for Her Majesty's order this time, I wouldn't have done such a thing. It will take some time for the descendants of the Bloodline to be able to master their power. While it's true that their likelihood of ascension is much stronger than that of low-level undead, it's a joke to say that they can withstand the invasion of the Chaos people in a short period of time. β
"Elves are equally powerless in this regard............... Because we had lost too many of our compatriots in the previous battles, we also asked for the help of spirit beasts and treants in the face of the current state of affairs. But how long we can support in the face of chaos, no one knows. β
Corinna sighed and spoke helplessly, and then she glared fiercely at the great lich not far away. It is clear that it is not the "orthodox" undead who attack the Elven Forest, though. But the elves obviously don't have any affection for the dead who exist against the laws of nature.
"The Silver Northern Expeditionary Army will always be at the forefront of the confrontation against Chaos!"
The middle-aged man wearing silver-white armor and carrying a big sword spoke without hesitation, his eyes like lightning, sweeping everyone present.
"My men and I will fight until the last moment, and we will use our lives to stop the invasion of Chaos until the plan is successful! We will not give up until conscience and justice cease to exist! β
"The voice can't fill the stomach, knight sir."
Accompanied by a snake-like sound, a Naga hovered and leaned back in her chair, her snake-like tail fluttering incessantly, showing the unease of her master.
"My warriors can walk on land, but they can't stay out of the water for long! And we also need to watch out for the invasion of chaos into the water source! If they use the maelstrom to enter our world, then it will be a big problem as well! Seals and beacon minarets at the bottom of the sea are our biggest concerns! Do you guys have any good advice on this? β
"The Lord of the Water Elementals is willing to assist in this regard."
Agamevi's voice was as flat as ever, and the tentacles on the sea elf's body were still moving so slowly and easily, as if she didn't care at all about what was happening here and what was about to happen. Since this plan also involved the four elemental planes and the Seven Illusion Realms, Rhodes naturally sent someone to negotiate. The fire element plane is okay, Seven Love himself is the master of the fire element, and the water element plane is represented by Agave with full powers, and the air element plane Rod asked the Sky Whale to negotiate, as for the earth element plane, Rod handed it over to the elf queen to deal with, after all, in this regard, the elves still have their talents.
"It seems that this is all we can gather now."
Hearing this, Lydia also smiled bitterly. Although the meeting was a bit of a mess, almost all of everyone's questions revolved around two pointsβββ first. They are not manpower enough to stand up to the approaching army of Chaos. Second, there are simply not enough people to defend the defensive rings that are now being created on a large scale, so much so that they are beginning to wonder if such protection is necessary.
"I wonder what His Majesty Rhodes is thinking? He's promised to bring us enough and strong enough warriors..............."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
As Nalaia spoke, there was an eerie silence in the conference room. In fact, a large part of the reason why the people were willing to build such huge fortifications was that Rhodes promised them that he would bring a strong enough group of warriors to help them defend the areas. Although as a Void Dragon, Rhodes should be true to his word. But almost all of you here are already the minds of various forces, whether they are flying in the sky, climbing on trees, running on the ground, or swimming in the water. It can be said that what these people's subordinates have mastered is eighty or ninety percent of the combat power in the Dragon Soul Continent. And even they say that there is a shortage of manpower, so where will Rhodes go to get support? And, why was he so sure he could recruit so many people? You must know that this time the enemy is the people of Chaos, and not only is the number demanding. Even in terms of strengthβββ this is not something that anyone can do.
Rhodes did not attend this meeting, and while everyone was arguing about the present and future of the Dragon Soul Continent, he went to the Hall of the Star Spirit βββ located in the Land of Atonement with his sister, as well as Lilian and Christie.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Christie said............ She'll be at the start of the fight......... Open the passage to the Hall of the Star Spirit......... Let the sleeping Heroic Spirits return to this world......... Fighting Chaos........."
Christie took Rod's hand and said with a soft smile. Hearing Christie's words, Rod nodded, and then he gently stroked Christie's hair.
"Well done. Christie, with the help of the Immortals. We have even more hope of defending the Dragon Soul Continent. β
That's not enough, though...............
"Have you decided? Brother? β
The younger sister on the other side looked at Rhodes and asked softly.
"You must know that if you do this, then your power will also be weakened, brother, although we do have collected complete information. But in order to realize all this information, it takes a lot of power. If you really decide to do this, brother, then your strength will return to its original level. β
"It doesn't matter, if I could stop the chaos alone, I wouldn't need so many people to help. And ........."
Said here. Rod smiled smugly.
"You should know very well, my sister, it's not the first time I've killed Ion's Caibi..............."
"That's right, Captain!"
Hearing this, the little bubblegum and canary who were following behind also nodded slightly, and the little bubblegum directly raised its fist and screamed.
"Let's get started, and then gather our strength and let Ion's tease show us what we're really capable of!!"
"That's right."
Hearing Rod's answer, the younger sister covered her mouth and chuckled. Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, and then he looked up at the frontβββ only to see that Lasty, dressed in a dark robe and holding a golden scepter, slowly stepped out of it. She walked up to Rod's face, and then bowed solemnly.
"Welcome to Valhalla, master, have you decided to summon the Valhalla soldiers?"
"Of course."
"Then, please give me the proof of the Heroic Spirit."
Hearing Rod's answer, Rashty raised her head and looked at Rhodes motionless with a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Seeing Rashty's expression, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, revealing a strange smile, and then he stretched out his right handβββ with Rod's movements, an incomparably powerful force began to condense in his hand, and then, a golden card appeared in the palm of his hand. Masty was slightly surprised to see this card, but she quickly reached out and took the card from Rod's hand, and then her eyes began to shine brightly.
"βββ has confirmed, the Soul Proofβββ Rhodes βββ is about to start summoning mode..............."
At this point, Rashty paused slightly, then looked at Rhodes and asked again.
"Do you use this as a medium to summon the Legion of the Immortals?"
"Of course."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
After receiving Rod's answer, Rasti closed her eyes and reached out her hand, and soon, the card that shone with golden light burst into a bright light in Rasti's hand. And the next moment, as if echoing this brilliance, in the Star Spirit Palace, a golden light suddenly rose into the sky!
The dazzling pillar of light made everyone's eyes narrow, only Rhodes was still standing there, staring at the shining hall in front of him. Soon, in the golden light, I saw that one figure after another emerged from it, from dozens of people, to hundreds, to thousands............... And much more..................!!
Immediately afterward, he saw the figure in the lead raise his hand high and wave at Rhodes.
"President, we're here to help!"
Hearing this, Rod showed a relaxed smile, and then he looked ahead and spoke.
"Everyone, it's time to clear the wasteland!" (To be continued......)
