June 14, 1886 in the continental calendar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The day before a full-scale war broke out between the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire, the Void Empire, the Knights of the Southern Continent, and the army of the undead.
With only a handful of personnel, Sean formed a special ops team and left the Void Empire.
The time of departure was the third day that Cecilia had fallen into a deep sleep again.
Sean carefully guarded Cecilia for two days, making sure that Cecilia was all right - even if she fell into a deep sleep, the power in her body was still ensuring that her life characteristics were circulating normally and that there would be no abnormalities - before Sean led the team to set off.
Of course, the order to assemble the squad had been officially given a day earlier.
This team, including Sean, is a total of four people.
The first Pope of the Church of Ice and Winter, Chief Priest with a Sword, and Head of the Battle Priesthood, Shephaneo.
The Chief Saintess of the Church of Life, Chief Cardinal of the Church of Life in the Void Empire, Head of the Priesthood, Heatley.
The head of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Void Empire, one of the seven generals of the Void Empire, the Void Dragon Knight, and the Seraph. Rena.
In addition to Heaterly, whether it is Shephaneo or Rena, they are all powerful beings who can burst out with the strength of the seventeenth and eighteenth ranks. Although there is still a step away from the level of a plane powerhouse, in Sean's opinion, as long as his plan is successful, then he definitely has the power to fight. Of course, this strength of the first battle is included in him and Heatley, after all, Sean can barely be regarded as having sixteenth-order combat power now.
And Heatley, as the chief saint of the Church of the Goddess of Life, her healing skills are also the key to the key.
In Sean's plan, the three brothers, Tungsten Ramo, Kokire, and Imoku, will find Crew's Touch and Ann respectively. Lucas, little Lucas and three others. Their mission is to solve their respective goals - yes, this time, Sean's order is to fight to the death, to the death at all costs. If it weren't for Alexis having to suppress the vampire and werewolf in the Underworld, Sean would have even planned to bring Alexis back.
According to the pre-war analysis, Tungsten Ramo solved the Touch of Cruise, which was infinitely close to the level of a plane powerhouse, and the win rate was more than eighty percent.
And Kokire, as one of the strongest in his own right, and the Knight of Death. An'en is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but his winning rate is not high, and it can even be said that it is the lowest in the trio's actions: only about fifty percent.
Similarly, Imoku's ability is very special, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to target Rucas Jr., and the win rate is also the highest among the trio: close to 90%. However, it takes a long time for Imoku to deal with Rucas Jr., probably second only to Kokire and Ahn. After all, Xiao Lucas's combat ability is not very strong, but the endless life-saving methods, as well as all kinds of very annoying small means, are really outrageous.
According to the plan, Tungsten Ramo will be the one to finish his opponent the fastest, and then he will have to rush to the aid of Kokire as soon as possible. Because the battlefield between Kokire and Ayn is the most dangerous one, the victory rate between the two of them is fifty-five, and it belongs to the kind of situation where one of them makes a mistake, then I am afraid that it will be the end of the battle, so Tungsten Ramo must solve the Cruise touch as quickly as possible, and rush to support Kokire.
After that, after Imoku solves Little Lucas, he will combine the power of the three Eldrazi brothers to completely solve the Death Knight, An. Lucas.
As for the scourge of the undead. Lake, the initiator of this plane war in the Bone Plane invasion of the Miracle Continent, will be solved by Sean's special operations team.
Or rather, procrastination.
Once the three Eldrazi brothers have solved all the objectives, they will immediately rush over to join Sean and assist Sean in eliminating Lake - in fact, when Sean proposed this plan of action, it was unanimously opposed, and everyone felt that Sean was too risky, and even Tungsten Ramo and Imraku expressed clear opposition. It was only in the end that Sean used his authority as emperor and his special power to command all his followers before making a decision.
Although many people expressed their incomprehension and disagreement with this decision, when the final order was given, the entire Void Empire still instantly erupted with the ability unique to that behemoth.
One by one, the instructions were passed from the Void Palace, and then they were quickly implemented at the grassroots level, and then all the relevant personnel who received the instructions immediately began to perform their tasks according to the orders. At this moment, with the entire Void Empire as the core, the battlefield of the Bone Calamity of the entire Southern Continent was completely mobilized, and the traps against Lake, An, and Little Lucas were also rapidly forming.
On May 15, 1886, Sean gave the order for all-out war.
On the same day, Tungsten Ramo, Kokire, and Imoku left Oasis City and headed for the designated battle area. Rena, Citri, and Shephaneo also entered the Void Palace on the same day, and at the same time, Citri and Shephaño also began to contact their respective gods of faith to convey the message to the Void Emperor Sean. Connery's request. And the request from Sean's strategic order was also conveyed to the allies of the Millennium Covenant Empire through a special communication channel on the same day.
On May 18, 1886, a special operations team consisting of Sean, Heatley, Rena, and Shefanio left Oasis City.
Three days later, the special ops team arrived at the Savage Fortress.
On the same day, Sean and Angel met in the Savage Fortress, and Angel, who was the liaison between the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Void Empire, conveyed to Sean the reply made by the Millennium Covenant Empire. That night, an oracle from Ace Winter, the goddess of ice and winter, was also conveyed to Sean through Shephaño.
The next day, on May 22, 1886, the Special Operations Team left the Savage Fortress, but this time they did not break through the sky with great fanfare. That night, an oracle from the Goddess of Life was also conveyed to Sean through Heatley.
On May 25, 1886 in the continental calendar, the news of Sean's return was finally conveyed to William and Elsie through Imoku's secret operation. On the same day, Elsie also began to communicate with the Twilight Goddess, and William began to mobilize and prepare for the battlefield at the same time.
A few days later, on May 29, 1886 in the continental calendar, under the joint pressure of the goddess of twilight, the goddess of life, and the goddess of ice and snow, all the church knights located on the battlefield of the Southern Continent's Bone Calamity finally gave up the conflict of interests for the time being, and everyone received the divine fire given by their respective gods.
At the same time, after eight days of non-stop progress, the special operations team led by Sean finally passed through the Forest of Sighs and officially arrived at the chaotic black earth.
On June 1, 1886, Kokire joined the conquest coalition of seven Church Knights.
The next day, the Millennium Covenant Empire began to implement Sean's strategic plan, sending a decoy force responsible for sending him to death. Lake, Lucas Jr. bites.
Then, after three days of fugitive chase, Lucas Jr. was lured into the trap and into the realm of Imoku.
On June 5, 1886, William and Elsie arrived in the area where the Dread Cage was located.
On June 8, 1886 in the continental calendar, Tungsten Ramo found clues to the secret location of Cruise's Touch, which was hidden by Lake.
On June 10, 1886 in the continental calendar, the scourge of the undead entered the trap circle. Lake's legion began to lay siege on a border city.
On June 13, 1886 in the continental calendar, the Knight of Death. Lucas was ambushed by the Seven Orders of the Church.
On June 14, 1886 in the continental calendar, the special operations team led by Sean arrived at the target area and began further exploration.
……
At this moment, on this black soil full of death, Sean's face was extremely gloomy.
Under his leadership, the team left the Savage Fortress on May 22 and traveled all the way north, which lasted 23 days and nearly a month, before finally arriving in this area of Sean's memory.
When they arrived, it was dawn on June 14.
But in the next almost day, they searched an area of more than ten kilometers, but they still did not find the location of the "eye of the storm" that Sean specially reminded.
This made Sean's face naturally unusually ugly.
This lifeless land of death, filled with cold, devastation, and silence, is a chaotic land that has lost the light of order: the black earth. It's just that the black soil where Sean is at this time is a little different from the ordinary black soil land, because this is the sleeping place of utopia.
Back then, in the game, Sean's guild "Void Wings" took a long time to finally conquer Utopia and activate it completely. As a reward for conquering the dungeon, Utopia also became the guild residence of the Void Wings, laying an extremely important foundation for the later development of the Void Wings, and it was one of the core reasons why the Void Wings could become a famous overlord-level guild in the Southern Continent.
Even though Utopia was later destroyed by a rival guild fire, it still failed to shake the supremacy of the Void Wings.
Sean, as the leader of the elite second regiment who was already Void Wings at that time, and one of the famous top masters in the guild, he has participated in the whole process of Void Wings since the beginning of the utopia. Therefore, he is definitely familiar with the entire utopia copy, if not by heart.
He knew very well that in this black soil where utopia was buried, two conditions must be met in order to activate utopia.
The first is to find the "eye of the storm" of the black soil land, that is, the core source that caused the pollution of the entire black soil land, and then put the fire of order into it, completely eliminate the source of chaos in this land, and return order to the earth.
Only after this precondition is met can utopia be rediscovered.
Of course, seeing the light of day doesn't mean that utopia will be restored to order.
After the first condition is met, the second condition is next.
Raiders Utopia Dungeon: Paradise Lost.
This is a copy of the twelfth order.
The so-called twelfth-order dungeon, that is, all the monsters in the dungeon, are basically terrifying existences that belong to the legendary level. And among them, the captain-level monsters, mini-bosses, etc., are even more thirteenth-order and fourteenth-order levels. And the seven final bosses that are the town guard dungeon are as high as the fifteenth level.
In the game, Void Wings paid a very heavy price to finally solve the seven final bosses.
But in this real world, this is something that Sean doesn't need to worry about.
Not to mention that the strength of Sean and others is not a problem to solve these final bosses now, in fact, when Lake hid in this land, he had already wiped out the entire Paradise Lost. It can be said that as long as Sean finds the "eye of the storm" and puts the spark of order that Enkos left for himself into it, the entire utopia can see the light of day again, and unlike the situation in the game, Sean does not need to attack Paradise Lost again this time.
What he really needs to do is to occupy.
Although according to the agreement between him and the Millennium Covenant Empire, this land of black soil, including the surrounding Forest of Sighs and Warcraft Canyon, is now considered the territory of the Void Empire. But all of this is based on the fact that no one knows that this land hides one of the six sanctuaries known as the "Earthly Ideal Country". If the Millennium Covenant Empire had known about it earlier, then they would definitely not cede this land to Sean anyway.
It can even be said that no matter how heavy the price to pay, they will definitely incorporate it into the empire long ago, instead of always taking a laissez-faire attitude towards it.
But now, Sean couldn't find the eye of the storm, and he saw that the sky was gradually getting darker.
In the bright morning and afternoon, the "eye of the storm" in this land is not found, and now that it is gradually darkening, it will undoubtedly become more difficult to find it. Although it would not be a problem to spend a few more days if it was just a search, in fact, Sean did not have that much time to consume.
Because of the strategic plan he had drawn up from the beginning, all the actions would be launched tomorrow, June 15, 1886.
At that time, it will be the time for a full-scale war to break out on the battlefield of the Bone Calamity.
"Time is running out." Sean frowned and muttered under his breath.
Heatley and Shephaneo had returned, but their faces weren't looking good, and they apparently hadn't found the eye of the storm that Sean had said.
"Are you sure you're in this area?" Heatley couldn't help but ask.
"I ......" Sean originally wanted to say that he was sure, but after thinking about it, he didn't participate in the first step of the Utopia mission, but later heard the general area mentioned by the head of the group, and then connected to the fact that he is now in the real world, and the terrain and landform have also changed a little, so Sean can't be too sure, "...... I can't be 100% sure, but I'm still 70% sure. ”
Shefanio raised her eyebrows, then glanced at Sean, a little surprised: "There are times when you can't be 100% sure." ”
"What do you think of me?" Sean smiled bitterly.
"Divine stick." Shefanio said with a serious face, but it made Sean even more helpless.
"It seems that we can only wait for news from Rena." Sean sighed softly, "Let's hope she can bring us good news." ”
Rena's mount, Blackstone, has unexpectedly evolved again in the past few years, awakening the black dragon bloodline in the body, and now Blackstone is no longer a pure earth-walking dragon, but has begun to evolve towards a real dragon form - the current Blackstone is even larger, and has also given birth to wings and has the ability to fly.
It is precisely because of this that Rena's search range is larger than that of Sean, Heatley, and Shephaño combined.
At nightfall, Rena finally rode down from the sky on the black stone.
This time, he finally brought good news.
"Sean-sama, I've found it!" Rena's words were tinged with surprise.
If there is anyone in the entire Void Empire who is the most unwavering in Sean's orders, then this person must be none other than Reina. She is the only one who will never doubt any of Sean's orders and actions, but chooses to trust and obey unconditionally.
Sean's face finally showed joy: "Very good!" ”
"So, are we the present and the past?" Rena asked.
"No, we'll rest here tonight, recuperate and set off tomorrow." Sean opened his mouth and said, "Now that I've found it, there's no hurry." …… As long as we can get this matter done before noon tomorrow, that's fine. ”
None of the people around her had any other opinions about Sean's decision, and everyone quickly started to get busy.
Dinner, rest, vigil.
Everything is going according to plan, although he knows that there should be no enemies in the black soil at this moment, but Sean still has no slack.
After spending another night in the black soil, the next day when the first rays of the dawn sun shone out, Sean and the others set off.
Although the place that Rena saw in the sky was not particularly far away, in fact, when she actually walked, the distance was not usually short. After walking all morning, he successfully arrived at the "eye of the storm" location in the Black Earth Land under the guidance of Rena.
Just like the information Sean had ever learned.
The "eye of the storm" is a place that constantly exudes the aura of destruction, darkness, killing, silence, corruption, and so on. The powerful dark energy, even as thick as ink, kept pouring out of a shallow pit—with this shallow pit as a dot, the area within a radius of hundreds of meters around it was a deep black like ink.
When stepping into it, these black materialized negative energies even overflowed everyone's ankles.
A chill that was so cold that it almost froze to the bone marrow kept escaping from these black energies.
Even if they are as strong as Sean and others, they can't resist the erosion of this chill at all.
You know, in Sean's squad, there are Heatley and Shephaneo!
The former is the chief saintess of the Church of Life, and she can be said to be the nemesis of dark creatures with her single-handed healing and dispelling techniques, and even has a certain amount of restraint and coping with these dark energies. The latter, on the other hand, is the blood of the goddess of ice and snow and winter, and has a unique and powerful advantage in the ability to resist the cold.
But at this moment, even if these two joined forces, it would only slow down the cold erosion of the negative energy emanating from the "eye of the storm" on everyone.
"This ...... Is it the eye of the storm? Heatley's teeth were chattering.
"Yes." Sean looked at the shallow pit in front of him with a complicated expression, and then took out the flame of order that Enkos had left him from the storage ring.
The moment the flame of order was taken out by Sean, all the negative energy around him suddenly distorted.
As if aware of some kind of huge crisis, the shallow pit located dozens of meters in front of it suddenly erupted a black pillar more than ten meters high. The pillar appeared to be some kind of liquid, but it was actually composed of an extremely viscous mist, and everyone could even vaguely see that countless faces were forming on the aerosol pillar.
These faces let out a burst of roars, and their expressions varied, ranging from terrible to angry, to hideous, and to mad.
An incomparably powerful spiritual coercion and impact aura instantly struck towards Sean and the others.
Heatley and Shephaneo's faces changed suddenly.
But before they could make any moves, Sean raised the flame of order in his hand.
The golden-red light emanated from the flame of order in Sean's hand, and the intense light even formed a light curtain similar to a barrier, enveloping Sean and the others. And on the surrounding ground, wherever it was covered by the light mask, all the black fog quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then revealed a parched and pale earth—a desolation that seemed to have completely sucked up all the nutrients.
"These ...... Fog has self-awareness? Shephaño let out a low cry.
"Yes." Sean said with a solemn face, "Follow me, don't leave the range of this light curtain, otherwise it will be very troublesome." ”
Purifying the land of black soil has never been an easy task.
Originally, Sean wanted to activate the first step of the Utopia mission, and he needed to face the siege of countless undead creatures - in the eye of the storm in the Black Earth Land, surrounded by powerful high-level undead creatures, they guarded the eye of the storm in the Black Earth Land from being purified by the fire of order. And this is also the reason why the Pioneer Guild needs to constantly recruit those powerful masters to go to the Black Earth Land to purify the earth, because not everyone can deal with these undead guarding around the eye of the storm.
However, because Lake launched the Undead Calamity, it invisibly helped Sean reduce the difficulty of the entire utopia mission.
Of course, this is also the same as Sean settling the Peace Council, inadvertently giving Lake the opportunity to grow and develop.
It's as if everything has been planned for a long time.
In the face of the light curtain formed by the flame of order, although these dark energies are constantly struggling and resisting, they still can't stop the pace of Sean and others.
Finally, Sean led the group to the very edge of the eye of the storm.
The black pillar of air also seemed to feel the last danger, and the energy erupting from the shallow pit was noticeably stronger.
It's just that Sean didn't pay attention to all this.
He just stretched out his right hand, the right hand that held the flame of order, and under the contact between the intense golden-red light and the black energy, just like the snow met the warm sun, all the black energy aura quickly dissolved under the illumination of the golden-red light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Sean let go of his right hand, and any seed-like flame of order in his hand fell from mid-air.
Although it seems that the black energy gushing out of the shallow pit seems to have an incomparably powerful impact, but in the face of the light falling order fire, no matter how big the impact of these black energy is, it has never been able to blow this order fire away, and can only do useless work in vain, watching this order fire fall into this shallow pit.
And when the flame of order finally fell completely into the shallow pit and suppressed all the black energy, a golden light immediately rose from the shallow pit.
In the sky, the thick lead-gray clouds were directly shot through under the impact of this golden light.
This golden light seems to have a strange contagious power.
The originally lead-gray clouds also quickly changed color under the impact of this golden pillar of light, gradually turning from lead-gray to golden yellow. And this golden light, at first, only shrouded the small area where the eye of the storm was located, but with the next moment, a strong aura of order suddenly erupted, and the clouds that enveloped the entire black soil land began to be rendered golden yellow.
Immediately afterward, the golden yellow light gradually turned into a golden red.
Just like the color of the flame of order! (To be continued.) )
