341 Fight for the Half-Plane One
Why is the academy facing the devil's invasion? Why is everyone panicking? Why doesn't the top brass have a clear idea of confrontation?
The biggest reason is ignorance of hell.
I don't know where these creatures come from, how they have their characteristics and weaknesses, how big they are and what they're trying to do, and what they're determined to do. The first two can be compensated for in the lesson, but the latter two are difficult to detect, the language barrier, and the racial differences are so big that the possibility of communication is basically cut off.
The consequence of ignorance is the spread of fear, which may be suppressed by the wise, but there are too many laypeople in the Wagland continent that fear is inevitable, and the wise cannot guarantee that they will not be affected by public sentiment.
Coming out of the Blood Raven Bar, Charlie felt full of harvest, if it weren't for Eliza, an alien race from the abyss, Charlie wouldn't have known so much of the inside story, and now although he was worried about the invasion of hell, he didn't have the anxiety he had before, if it was only cannon fodder from the hell plane and a few strong people below the lord level invaded, maybe Vagram still had the strength to fight, and the situation was not to the point of despair.
Of course, the basis of this judgment is Eliza's remarks, if she is misleading, then Charlie's judgment will be all wrong, Charlie also considered this possibility, thought about it, and denied it, because Eliza wanted to murder him, there was no need to use such a complicated method, and there was no conflict of interest between them.
Regardless of the situation, however, Charlie's first priority at the moment was to take the half-plane of High Priest Zonderrick into his own hands, which would be an unimaginable fortune, and second, to find out what was going on with the Sunset Elves to see if they needed help.
As soon as Charlie left the bar, Hank appeared in Eliza's room.
"Master, is it too illusory for you to pin your hopes on him? He is too young, although he is gifted, and his growth rate is not slow. ”
Eliza sighed faintly and said, "I can't help it, this plane has not broken through the bottleneck of the power rule, the suppression of me is too powerful, and without the support of the Abyss Demon Crystal, my recovery speed is too slow."
There is a hope to have the meaning of life, and besides, for me, a few hundred years is not a big problem. ”
"I'm afraid that those devils won't give him hundreds of years, master, you haven't told him yet, the plane favored by the devil has almost no good end, if this is a main plane with a high level of strength, there may be a glimmer of life. ”
"Let's give people some hope, too!"
"Why doesn't the master try to work with the devil? I think the devil has a better chance of winning. ”
Eliza sighed and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Devils are never a good trader, they are cunning and playful, and they rarely take advantage of them, and I really don't have much leverage right now. ”
Hank was silent.
Meanwhile, Charlie has left Twilight Town, and in the jungle, his stealth talent, the Body of Shadows, and the Friends of the Forest, quickly adapt to the environment of the Twilight Forest.
Due to the withdrawal of the Arcane Ring from Twilight, it lost ninety percent of its combat power at once, and Twilight gradually lost control of the surrounding area, reducing its size by ninety percent, leaving only an area of two hundred yards in the center of the town, and several surrounding farms and orchards were also deserted, full of traces of demonic beasts.
Shadow leopards, spotted vipers, bird-eating spiders, and some unnamed poisonous insects surround Twilight, changing the environment to make the surrounding area more suitable for them to survive, and gradually erasing the traces of humans.
Charlie carefully bypassed the cobwebs with the power of shadows, dodged several poisonous insect ambushes, and headed deep into the forest, barely attracting the attention of any creatures, even though there were poisonous insects alarmed by Charlie's steps, and by the time they reacted, the initiator had already gone away.
Twilight is a long way from the sacred mountain of the Sunset Elves, and Sivar built three forward posts in the middle of the two places to solve the problem of supply.
Now, three months have passed since Sival's fall, and the imprint he created is gradually disappearing, which has caused a certain amount of trouble to Charlie, Charlie's memory of the terrain is based on the signs of Sival's era, but fortunately, the chip's super memory has helped him find the right line.
Soon, Charlie found one of the forward sentry posts, and to his surprise, it was now the base of the devil.
The base has been remodeled to a certain extent, with rows of fences made of sharpened logs, but the placement of the fences is no longer so exquisite, leaving one hole after another in many places, and it can be seen from this detail that the devil no longer needs it to provide defense, which means that there are no creatures around that can threaten them.
Then, Charlie thought of a fundamental question, why would the devil put a fence on the periphery of the base? There are only two major forces in this twilight forest, Twilight Town and the Sunset Elves, and now the former has shrunk into a projectile town because of the strategy of the main courtyard, so the creature that the devil guards against can only be the latter, with the devil's combat power, even if the Sunset Elves are not exterminated, it is estimated that the situation is not much better.
A dark red bonfire burned in the center of the base, and black smoke continued to rise, and these smoke condensed over the base, forming a dark cloud, and the area covered by the dark clouds, dead air spread, trees withered, and everything was silent.
In the simple tent of the base, several strange figures can be faintly seen, which seem to be sheep-headed overseers, and several creatures that have never been seen before, faintly exuding the aura of a strong man.
Looking at the periphery of the base, you can see that many infrastructure projects have just begun, and a few jackal coolies are busy on the rudimentary fortifications.
Charlie thought that the Twilight Forest was remote and would not attract too much attention from the devil, but now it seems that they have used this place as a base for development, and the scale of those infrastructure projects is not small, but it is only because of the lack of manpower that they can build a simple framework.
This is a noteworthy piece of information, if the academy thinks that it has cleared the demons on the Demon Hub Plains and thinks that all the invasions have been solved, then I am afraid that the Arcane Ring will be given a head-on blow in the future!
Charlie didn't stop much here, and walked around the base and headed straight for the sacred mountain of the Sunset Elves.
Passing through the spore forest, wading through the Blackwater Marsh, a giant tree rising into the sky looms in the mist, and Charlie reaches the border of the Holy Mountain.
From a distance, the Kabbalah Tree of Life is still tall and majestic, covering the sky and the sun, but its branches and leaves have almost withered, with Charlie's keen eyesight, he can even see the huge wound made by the three Poseidon nails back then, although the bright yellow wood can no longer be seen, but the wound has not healed, it is the spiritual totem of the sunset elf, although it is dying of old age and serious injuries and dying, it still carries the hope of the whole clan.
It seems that the devil did not conquer the territory of the Sunset Elves, and Charlie guessed that the Kabbalah's deterrent power played a considerable role, but the Devil always found that the majestic behemoth was on the verge of running out of oil, and the Sunset Elves were a herd of lambs to be slaughtered.
Charlie climbed up the treetops, shuttled between the trees, and soon reached the entrance of the half-plane, and when he brushed aside the leaves and saw the scene at the entrance, he was startled, and a wave of worry and anger welled up in his heart.
A devil's base encircles the entrance in the center, and the rough fence erected on all sides is built into a rudimentary fortification, which is much smaller than the base seen before, but the function is more complete, and even a wooden house strengthened by hell magic has been built inside, and in order to prevent the elves from sneaking attack, the surrounding area has been cleared out of a radius of 100 yards, and on the periphery of the base, there are several gnolls and rat demons patrolling.
Fortunately, Charlie came at the right time, although he didn't know the situation of the half-plane, but since the devils did not remove this fortification, it means that they have not yet achieved the purpose of controlling the half-plane, and the Zonderick civilization should be a civilization that is not inferior to the hell plane, and it should be difficult to be attacked by the devil when its core system has a master, and the elves have also played a certain degree of interference.
Charlie carefully observed the scale of the base, through the infrared vision of the chip, he could detect that there were about 50 creatures inside, and in the reddest and brightest light in the infrared vision, it was vaguely distinguishable that it was three humanoid creatures, and the strong aura could be detected from afar, in addition, most of the remaining troops were a combination of jackals, hell demon dogs and rat demons.
If it weren't for those three creatures whose strength could not be estimated, Charlie would probably be able to use his super stealth ability to grind down this group of creatures little by little, but I'm afraid not right now.
Before figuring out the strength of the three humanoid creatures, Charlie couldn't act rashly, in case he ran into the characters he met on the Demon Pivot Plains that night, one against three, it was likely that even escaping would be a luxury.
Cha thought about it, suppressed the worries in his heart, and decided to unite with the Sunset Elves first, not to mention the friendship in the past, they now have the same enemy, and believe that the other party also needs himself, although Charlie may not be able to change the outcome of the battle.
