Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rescue
Grey Cloak Mountain, a mountain range forever shrouded in gray mist, a region of undulating hills, except for the same gray stones, there are only those unknown plants with twisted branches and strange shapes.
This former border between the Elven Empire of Ilpharang and Netheriel was once known as the Grave Mountain. Elven graves are dotted along the hillsides and valleys, and the gray fog caused by the elven high magic of Ilpharang and the arcane warfare of the Nethrel Empire obscures the sun, making it a near-paradise for the undead.
Before the Moon Elves from nearby Evrasca came in to patrol here, countless elven undead wandered here.
However, these former undead creatures have long since been sent back to their eternal sleep by the staunch Moon Elf Priest. As a result, many adventurers and travelers began to sneak into the mist-shrouded realm, trying to find the graves of the ancient elves or the ruins of Netheriel.
In this mountain range, which is forever shrouded in gray mist, the moon elves in gray elf cloaks silently roam the mist, and stubbornly stop all foreign intruders.
And now, with the destruction of the Saron Wall that sealed the Ferin Demon Aoi, countless Ferin Demon Aoi have swarmed out, and the elven sentries who had been patrolling the Grey Cloak Mountain Range have all been recalled to resist the siege of the Ferin Demon Aoi army in Everisca.
And today, in the gray and lonely mountains, a silver portal suddenly appeared, and immediately after, several figures walked out of it.
Dugu Feng, Lady Veria Roland, the elf's envoy Lady Rusya, and the Holy Maiden Maiden carrying a glorious cross banner appeared here one after another.
"Oops, it's a bit far away, this is the northern part of Grey Cloak Mountain, we need to get there as soon as possible!" As soon as the anxious elf Rusya came out of the portal, she looked around for a moment to determine where they were.
After receiving the summons from Everisca, knowing that the elves were not going well and that the situation was very critical, Rusya could no longer care about arguing with Anta * Silver Shield Grand Duke and other high-ranking figures of Baldur's Gate, and after hastily negotiating some conditions, she hurriedly urged Baldur's Gate to send troops.
However, Baldur's Gate is thousands of miles away from Everisca, and even if the troops are dispatched quickly, they will not be able to arrive in a short time, unless they learn from Waterdeep City and dispatch legendary mages to build a powerful portal to transfer reinforcements in a short time.
It's just that there is a problem with this, first of all, not to mention that Baldur's Gate does not have a legendary mage like Kelburn's Black Rod, and even if there is, it is because Ephriska has a powerful Lost Lock guard, and it is impossible to directly establish a portal. Therefore, in order to urgently support Eversca's battle, it is necessary to send an advance team to the vicinity of Everska to establish a portal.
Today's vicinity of Everska is full of raging Felin Demon Sunflowers, and there is no suitable place at all, and the reinforcements as strong as Waterdeep City also bumped into Felin Demon Sunflower in the middle of the road, and had to fall into a bitter battle. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to expect the Baldur's Gate, which lacks high-level mages, to quickly dispatch reinforcements.
However, out of personal friendship, and on other terms that Lady Rusya had agreed. Dugu Feng still decided to help the elves, and she led the team and led a group of strong men to support Everska first.
"Go this way, let's get over as soon as possible!"
Because of the existence of Felin Demon Sunflower, the Everska area has almost become a chaotic area of death magic, and Felin Demon Sunflower has unscrupulously extracted the power of the magic net, which has stirred up this area into chaos, and the area where everyone is located is already a marginal area that can be stably located by the portal.
However, just as Rusya was hurriedly leading the way, Dugu Feng, Veria Roland, and the Holy Maiden Maiden suddenly stopped and looked in one direction almost at the same time.
Somewhere thousands of miles away, a huge power fluctuation that was even more obvious in the chaotic magic area created by the Ferin Demon Sunflower suddenly erupted.
In the sense of the legendary powerhouses, an incomparably violent magic power fluctuated, sweeping from afar like a dark tide. Filled between heaven and earth, the magic net that constrained all free magical forces was violently disturbed, and a powerful force from the shadow realm penetrated the gap between the main material world and the shadow world like a sharp blade, covering a large area of shadows directly to the main material world.
In Dugu Feng's silver eyes, you can clearly see that behind the void, the pitch-black shadow power falls from the sky like a waterfall, and the magic net power of the entire space starts a tug-of-war confrontation, and the aftermath of the collision of magic power sets off the most violent rage, with a solemn and dangerous atmosphere, surging and surging in the coiled fighter.
"Such a powerful force, which legendary mage has gone crazy?"
A flash of lightning flashed in Veria Roland's pupils, and in her eyes, the striking wave of magic in the distance was clearly a person pulling an area of the shadow realm directly into the main material world, and this crazy act was no less than pushing all meteorites from the sky to the ground.
Now, the power fluctuations emanating from the shadow matter that rolled like a black cloud were undoubtedly a very powerful legendary spell. This kind of spell that surpasses the power limit of the Nine Rings of the Demon Net, no matter what kind of spell it is, has a destructive power like a natural disaster.
"Hey, something looks like it's falling out of it!"
The Holy Maiden Maiden seemed to have the eyes of the light of heaven, and she was the most sensitive to the power of shadows, so she immediately "saw" the huge city that pierced the thick shadows, broke the intertwining of the shadow demon net and the magic net, like the heaviest lead block, and violently broke through the sky from another world.
"That's the Ghost City!"
Dugu Feng raised his head slightly, and said unexpectedly: "Someone used the power of an artifact to pull the Yin Soul City back from the Shadow Realm!" ”
"Ghost City? Is it the Netherland from the time of Netheril? ”
Vilia Roland couldn't help but be slightly surprised, shook his head and said: "It's interesting now, there has been enough chaos recently, plus a ghost city, it looks like the continent will be more lively in the future!" ”
The Netherworld City was originally an ordinary floating city in the era of the Netherel Empire, and it was not outstanding in the Netherel era. He is famous because it is one of the few floating cities that did not fall when the Netherel Empire fell.
The city was able to escape destruction because Jeonbai moved it and its inhabitants to the shadow plane, thus avoiding the catastrophe caused by the collapse of the main material world's magic web.
However, the shadow plane is not an ordinary plane, it is like the reflection and shadow of the main material world, not only coexists with the main material plane, but also links all the planets and crystal walls in the main material world, it also has strange material properties, which can simulate the matter and some spells of the main material world under the action of magical power.
Although it is said that the main material world and the shadow plane are like entities and shadows, and many creatures can also communicate with the shadow power to come and go to the two realms for a short time, but the time spent in the shadow world is too long, and it has almost been assimilated into a part of the shadow world, so the conditions required for the entire city to return to the main material world are not ordinarily difficult.
"That's a good thing! Shadow City and Felin Demon Aoi are also mortal enemies! ”
Hearing the news of the return of the Netherworld City, the elf Rusya was first surprised for a moment, and then smiled happily. In any case, as the descendants of the Netherel Empire, Nethersoul City and Felin Demon Aoi must be mortal enemies, even if the Great Elder of Everska refuses the proposal to form an alliance with Netherworld City, but the appearance of Nethersoul City will definitely be able to share some of the pressure of Everisca.
With a slight sigh, the group continued to set off, hurrying in the direction where Efrisca was. However, it didn't go far before he encountered the sworn enemy this time.
Dugu Feng and the others had just flown over a hill when they saw more than a dozen Ferin Demon Kui rushing out from behind the hill.
These large monsters, said to have been born from the twisting of the magic web, are nearly four meters tall and look like a windsock with its opening facing upwards. Its disc-shaped head is embedded with a mouth-shaped stomach pouch full of sharp teeth, and around the head are four clawed arms. Descending the head of the disc, the long, sinuous body gradually became tapered, with a deadly spike at the bottom of the tail. The whole shape looks like a sea anemone, which is why it is named Feilin Magic Sunflower.
These seemingly stupid monsters were all powerful magicians, and the moment they saw Dugu Feng and the others flying by, they immediately threw out a large area of halo light.
The air was distorted, the five senses were hazy, and for a while, illusions, illusions, charms, domination of humans, and other illusions, charms, and manipulation spells belonging to the illusion school and the enchantment school were released.
"Quick Fix!"
Dugu Feng didn't bother to entangle with these monsters, so he rushed directly to the middle of this group of monsters and turned on Wushuang.
With the talent of absorbing all magical powers, Ferin Demon Aoi can almost be said to be the nemesis of spellcasters, and they are excellent mages themselves, extremely fond of casting illusion, charm, and control spells, and it is also a nightmare for melee classes with low immunity and resistance.
It's just that Dugu Feng and the others are either perverts who open monsters, or legendary warriors with extremely high immunity, and there are legendary dragons like the holy maiden Maiden, who are blessed by the gods.
"This ......"
Rusya, who was the slowest to react, had just raised her weapon, and before she could rush out, she saw that the group of Fei Lin Demon Kwai who were blocking the way had turned into tentacle stumps on the ground.
"Let's go!"
Dugu Feng and the others did not stop, rushed forward all the way, and when they saw Fei Lin Demon Kui along the way, they didn't say much, they directly stiffened a large number of illusions, charm spells, and after a few sword lights, they cut these monsters that can be called mage nemesis into pieces.
No way, who let these Fei Lin Demon Aoi not have strong melee ability (compared to Legendary Warriors), mages are quite tricky to face their energy absorption skills, and even normal Legendary Warriors are very disgusting to face their spells. But who let Dugufeng and others be a special case in a special case, in the case of melee combat is not good and the illusion is invalid, being close to the legendary warrior, then the result must be an instant kill.
All the way, Dugu Feng and the others broke through the encirclement of Feilin Demon Kui before the strong men of Feilin Demon Kui were encircled, and came to Everisca, the most important gathering area of elves on the continent.
This city, which represents the "fortress homeland" in the language of the elves, is home to more than 20,000 elves, and is the only major settlement left in Faeron after the Great Retreat.
It was a city built in a huge valley, surrounded by twelve natural walled peaks, forming a natural defense. A powerful maze that envelops the city has forbade the sky, so the sanctuary can only be accessed from the air or through the mountain passes guarded by elite elven sentinels.
