Chapter 201: Drained
If the crystal weapon made by the abyss has not been used back and forth in the hands of many people for N times, then its unknown absorption ability has no meaning, and simply absorbing the energy of a few people is not enough to make it a magic weapon that can destroy the world and the earth, at most it is just a weapon that can be used at hand.
Luckily, the Imperial Royalty kept the crystal secret as a family heirloom, and very few people used it, and it didn't absorb much energy from the royal family members over the years. However, if that were the case, Rog would not have focused most of his attention on seizing control of the crystal weapon, and it would have been more practical to find a way to erode and infect Octavir and transform her son of the plane into the power of the Abyss.
But the reality is that Rogge ignored the erosion of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, or that he didn't pay much attention to it, so Nangong Rong found an opportunity to rescue the girl. Otherwise, things will definitely not be as easy as before, and a bad mess may even leave some sequelae for the eldest princess.
The other party focused all his attention on recovering the crystal weapon, and finally chose to lose both with Nangong Rong when he couldn't control it, all of which showed that Rogge valued the crystal weapon in Octavier's hand.
Nangong Rong had a guess before today's fight, at that time, the boy didn't know that the abyss boss who arrived here was Rogge, he was just thinking about why the other party would come to attack Mangrove Ridge with a group of monsters - the conclusion was very simple, the enemy fought with the idea of killing the coalition army and the eldest princess in one go.
So the question is, the main force of the abyss is still in the alliance, and Rogge is being tracked by Emilina and others from the alliance, even if they mess up the empire, they don't have the energy and ability to expand the results of the battle, what is the purpose of running this trip?
Look for something that will strengthen Rog's own strength against the Alliance's elite squad, yes, the crystal weapon that the Femelian royal family has in its collection. But according to Octavier's description, few people have used the key crystal, and it doesn't absorb much energy, so the abyss has no reason to make such a big deal about it.
Unless His Majesty, the first emperor who established the empire, sacrificed the lives of the war dead to it in exchange for power in the process of using crystal weapons to conquer the west, combined with the part of history that the young man knew, it is not difficult to imagine what happened in Lijing at that time.
The facts proved Nangong Rong's guess, otherwise it would be impossible for him and a battery that was not more than half charged to make the entire Taven City into a puppet and drive it anyway, and it would be almost the same as being directly sucked dry in the process.
Octavier's hidden natural stupidity attribute basically doesn't attack when talking about serious things, so the girl quickly figured out what Nangong Rong meant, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't know whether she was talking to herself or didn't dare to speak loudly to the young man and whispered "I'm sorry."
"Why apologize, it's none of your business. Nangong Rong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Besides, your ancestor only sacrificed the lives of those prisoners of war and did not sacrifice their souls, which allowed me to get a group of good subordinates who have the ability to control them without spending mental power after making a puppet, thank him for not having time." ”
"Count me on, can you stop saying that, it feels very infiltrating, hey!" Octavir couldn't help but pound the battlements next to him hard, and cold sweat increased his voice, "What's the problem, wait until everyone is safe, even if it's deliberately finding fault, but now it'......"
Nangong Rong raised his hand to interrupt the eldest princess's words: "My current state is no different from that of salted fish, and the giant puppet under my feet is almost draining me, at most providing a few auxiliary skills." If you are counting on me to fight Rogge, it is more reliable to focus on organizing the evacuation of personnel. ”
Before the words fell, there was an extremely terrifying huge coercion in the sky, and Rogge, who was on fire on his head, appeared in everyone's sight with a bare armless grin, and then aimed at the active city that was washing the floor with a large number of [artillery], stretched out his right arm and opened his palm.
A bright red circular magic array flew out of Rogge's palm and quickly grew larger, stopping to grow when it was almost a meter in diameter, and hovering silently in the air;
It wasn't until a full three magic arrays appeared in front of Rogge that he finally stopped this spell that was obviously a certain type of amplification buff, and then burst out of his hand with red lightning that quickly passed through the center of the three magic arrays. By the time the lightning came out of the center of the last magic array, it had changed from the size of a teacup to a monster thicker than a locomotive, and it was wrapped in a terrifying momentum that seemed to destroy everything in the world, and it struck the city wall like Mount Tai overpowering.
"Spread out and take cover!"
Octavier's instructions were fine, but it was not clear how much of a force the girl herself would have, as the enemy was attacking from the air, and the walls were no different from unobstructed flat ground after losing their height advantage.
Looking for cover?
Perhaps it was some effect of the spell, and the tip of the thick red lightning suddenly changed into the shape of a vicious snake head, and it opened its mouth and bit it impartially towards the location of Nangong Rong and the others. The eldest princess, who noticed this, couldn't help but curse in her heart, and then hurriedly fled the city wall with the others, not having any thoughts of confronting or even blocking the thing.
The girl knew very well that even if she had the power to control the Warcraft mount to meet the attack, the final outcome would only be roasted by lightning along with the mount, without the slightest suspense. The power of the other party is simply devastating, the power is comparable to natural disasters, and ordinary humans have no possibility of confrontation at all.
This guy shouldn't be some clone, but his body!?Octavil looked at the rapidly approaching red snake lightning in the sky, and her hands and feet were cold, what she was most worried about now was that Rog used his clone to deceive those strong men of the alliance and took them around the alliance, and he ran to Mangrove Ridge to eliminate the powerful lords and royal families of the empire, create chaos, and then take the opportunity to expand his power, and launch an attack on the empire and the alliance at the same time.
At that time, the elite team of the alliance will not be able to return to heaven no matter how strong it is.
But now the eldest princess can't care so much, she was grabbed by the quick-eyed Charlotte and jumped off the city wall directly, thus avoiding the danger of being hit by lightning.
The lightning did not directly hit the city wall, a translucent earthy brown barrier suddenly appeared and blocked its path, and in an instant the whole sky bloomed as if there was an extra round of sun, and the roaring thunder almost made it impossible to hear any other sound, but the imaginary shock wave did not come.
It was an illusion, of course, and with the crisp sound of glass smashing, the barrier disappeared as abruptly as it had appeared before, and the lightning bolt re-transformed into a serpentine shape and rushed down again, still targeting the section of the wall.
Before Octavir could seriously consider it, the walls had completely collapsed like building blocks that had been toppled by a bear child, and countless broken bricks and stones flew wildly in all directions, even knocking down a few unlucky ones.
Some of the guys who didn't leave the city wall in time ended up even more miserable, and their bodies became in a state of disintegration like the city wall. If it hadn't been for Charlotte's slap open, a mosaic stained with red liquid would have stuck to the eldest princess's delicate face.
"Your Highness, please don't be stunned!" the knight shouted in her ear as he tried to protect her from the various flying stones around her that were comparable to the fragments of a cannonball, "Even if we can't defeat the enemy, we can retreat calmly, and this city will hold us back from the abyss." What you have to do is organize your team to restore order and avoid chaos, instead of watching the enemy's attack in a daze!"
The eldest princess, who was awakened by the roar, shuddered, but her eyes remained on the crumbling city wall, and she had no intention of turning her head to look at her subordinates - because the girl saw a shiny object in the smoke, arcs, and explosions, and the bright light it emitted could not be shielded by the existence that seriously obscured the vision in front of her.
It was the crystal spear, which was inserted into the city wall by Nangong Rong, and even if Rogge could no longer control it, he could try to destroy it to cut off the energy supply of this huge city-level puppet that was so big that it was against the sky. The puppet that Nangong Rong made up was indeed remarkable, but the energy consumed was not a small amount after all, and once it could not be supplied, it would immediately stop functioning.
Octavir was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat when she realized this, but she couldn't change anything, she could only watch as the crystal shattered into several pieces in the violently surging arc of electricity, and finally disappeared into the air into countless colored points of light.
Crystal weapons that are not connected to the user's soul are quite vulnerable in the face of fierce attacks from strong people, which is why Rog throws his ultimate move as soon as he comes up. He didn't have time to slowly fight with the opponent in front of him, who was not enough to describe the rough skin and thick flesh, and he had to settle everything before Octavir and the others fled.
But...... The situation seemed to be a little different from what Rogge and the eldest princess had imagined, and the city that had turned into a puppet not only did not immediately stop acting, but quickly combined the collapsed city wall into a thick cannon barrel pointed diagonally at the sky, aiming at the confused abyss boss.
"Look no further, hurry up. There was a shout from someone next to her, and the eldest princess followed the prestige to find that it was Nangong Rong who was dragged out by Lin Weiyin from the previous attack, "I have already extracted all the energy in the crystal and injected it into the puppet's body, and that gun is just an empty shell." ”
When the boy said this, the girl realized that the crystal spear was indeed shattered too easily just now, and if it was really full of energy, it should burst out when it was broken, and it would never be without the slightest movement.
"You pumped out the energy inside, all of it!?"
"Otherwise, what else do you think will make me, a person who has not officially entered the battle, directly tired into a dead dog?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but look at the young man in front of her who didn't even breathe, and finally didn't ask this sentence, but chose to change her words: "Okay, it seems that you have already guessed that the other party would do this." Any suggestions for the next step?"
"Yes, run as far away as possible. ”
In fact, before Nangong Rong finished speaking, Octavir already knew what was going on, the giant cannon taller than the building spewed out a shining earthy brown light from the muzzle, and then including Nakiris, who was following the eldest princess, several people present immediately lost their balance and flew out at a very fast speed as if they had been pushed hard by an invisible hand.
It was a shock wave that spread out from the muzzle of the cannon when the energy was fired, and if you stood on the ground and found a slightly larger stone to hide, you would be safe, after all, the height difference between the muzzle and the ground was relatively large, but these guys blatantly emphasized their presence in mid-air, and then ......
There is no then.
Nangong Rong and the others finally stopped this irregular flight in a masonry tower near the city wall, thanks to the fact that everyone had turned on their defenses in order to resist Rogge's attack, otherwise the impact of crashing through the outer wall of the tower alone would have seriously injured them and even killed them.
The entire tower was shaking violently in the wind, and it seemed that it could collapse at any moment, so Nangong Rong, who was still quite conscious, struggled to get up in a pile of rubble to get out of this damn place as soon as possible.
As a result, when I got up, I pressed my hand and something happened.
With an exclamation of "meow", a soft touch suddenly came from the young man's hand, which made his heart suddenly thump violently, and when he turned his head to look, the tense nerves quickly relaxed.
"What, it's this guy. Great, I thought the legendary royal road plot would really happen to me. ”
Octavier, who was dizzy next to him, didn't understand what Nangong Rong meant, but Lin Weiyin, who was beside the young man, looked at the salty pig's trotter that he pressed on the lower abdomen of Nakyris, who was in the state of mosquito coil eyes, and became embarrassed.
"Hey, stupid Ernie sauce, what are you going to do with a happy expression at this time, you should be grief-stricken and crying!But you're lucky, because even if it's me or the eldest princess next to you, the cold hard armor on your body will definitely affect the touch, right? ”
With the strong wind that swept in from the hole in the wall that was knocked open by himself and the others, Nangong Rong clearly saw that something called Jiecao was rapidly falling from the cheap sister's body.
