Chapter 456: Continental Mutation (I)
According to Chu Qianbian's original idea, if the impact of this story mission on the game process is far-reaching enough, then the Leng Feng Guild may be able to take this opportunity to break the deadlock and enter a period of rapid development of the guild again, which is a good opportunity to break the shackles of the Imperial War Alliance. However, Chu Qianbian, who had never experienced such an incident, never imagined how huge the waves set off by this "Abyss Mutation" full-server plot mission were far beyond his expectations......
…………
North of the city-state of Amento - the fortress of the north wind
Located in the northernmost part of the Chaos Camp Camunri Federation, this fortress is even closer to the Death Desert than the Northern Frozen Mountains of the Ice and Snow Mountain Kingdom, and arguably the closest outpost to the Far North Death Desert in the entire continent.
Built at the end of the Terran Rise Era, this fortress was naturally used to alert and monitor the movements of the demons of the abyss, the deepest part of the desert. Abyssal Demons, this race is the greatest threat to the creatures of the Rhinelos continent since ancient times. In fact, the location of the North Wind Fortress no longer belongs to the territory of the Kamonri Federation, it does not belong to the territory of any country on the mainland, but is under the unified jurisdiction of the two major camps of the mainland to maintain stability within its borders.
After thousands of years of development, the fortress of the north wind can no longer be said to be a fortress in the formal sense, but a small town of considerable size, and the residents of the nearest city-state of Kamonri are accustomed to calling it the fortress of the north wind.
Perched atop a rugged mountain, the Fortress of the North Wind is crisscrossed by seven avenues that wind and disappear at the end of the horizon. To the south is the border of the city-state of Kamonri, and the large and reckless forests are no more than half a mile from the town, and a small river meanders through the mountains, bringing cool drinking water to the north wind city.
But to the north of the city, the scenery took a sharp turn here, the wind and sand blew through the gray desert, and there was a dead silence in the sobs, and at the end of the sky, black tornadoes could be vaguely seen running through the heavens and the earth. The scenery of the north and south is like the difference between hell and heaven, and the feeling is as refreshing as the two heavens of ice and fire, and the taste can only be clearly understood when you are there.
However, such a scene was commonplace for the defenders of the North Wind Fortress, the road to the north of the fortress was the narrowest of the seven roads, only for four military horses to walk in parallel, but the northern wall was the strongest, the black iron wood gate was also wrapped in black iron skin, and engraved with runes made of magic mythril, this gate is said to be able to withstand the impact of 100 saber-toothed golems, and even the bombardment of 10 magic cannons can be unscathed.
Of course, these narratives are all recorded in the official history of "Night Lord", and players are not clear about how strong this fortress of the North Wind is, and not many people are interested in knowing. For the majority of players, it is good to know that this is an advanced area after the third turn, and they can level up, play equipment and carry out tasks here.
In the early morning, in the towering fortress in the center of the North Wind Fortress, players are coming out through the portal, ready to start the first stop of the adventure after the three turns. As a high-level region after level 60, players are undoubtedly full of novelty and expectations for the North Wind Fortress.
However, as soon as these players walked out of the fortress gate, before they had time to enjoy the scenery of the Northland, they were confused by the sound of fighting around the fortress, standing in the center of the town and looking from afar, they could faintly see the battle flags of the four city gates flying, the sound of war drums beating, the sound of blades clashing and magic roaring fiercely, and the atmosphere of war was extremely strong.
Is this really the strongest northern fortress in the world? How does it look like it's going to be captured?
As soon as these thoughts passed through the players' minds, a white light suddenly shot down in the slightly gloomy sky, reflecting the miserable faces of the players who had just set foot in the city, followed by colorful magical lights surging densely around the town. Then, the sky suddenly darkened, thousands of arrows swept up like flying locusts, and then, a painful scream rang out, these screams were hideous and evil, and they were fundamentally different from the creatures of the continent.
"What's going on, what's going on? What about war? One of the players grabbed a Ranger who was hurrying by, and asked anxiously.
The elven ranger's narrow eyes widened, and he scolded: "Don't get in the way, you newcomers to the battlefield, why don't you go to Chief Ron to report quickly?" Immediately, the Elven Ranger shook off the player's pull and walked briskly to the west of the Stronghold with an iron longbow.
Looking at the slender back of the ranger, the players at the gate of the fortress couldn't help but look at each other, and for a long time, one of them was stunned: "Damn~!" It's an NPC! How do you look so much like a real person. ”
In a daze, the ground shook, and a muffled roar came from the other side of the town, and a group of people turned their heads in amazement, only to see a black line rolling in, and the loud bang was the sound of dense iron hooves stepping on the ground like rain......
A group of heavily armed Black Iron cavalry flew past in front of them, galloping towards the north of the Fortress, which also led to the Desert of Death.
At this moment, on the northern wall of the North Wind Fortress, thousands of North Wind elite guards are fighting desperately hand-to-hand with the rising ghouls and evil orcs, archers, rangers and beast tamers are drawing their bows and arrows, constantly aiming at the gargoyles and blood bats flying in the air to shoot, the city walls are full of corpses of demons and continental alliances, and the most casualties are the mage professions, these thin-skinned and brittle occupations have become the primary targets of the demons.
In the fierce battle, Burning Light Blue, Vanilla Sky, Medicine Master, Half-Fish Man, Flying Feather Thousand Mangs, African Savior, and Shooting the Sky Dome were impressively listed, and these 7 people formed a small team and gathered together to fight to the death against the Demon Vanguard Army.
In the chaos of the battle, Vanilla Sky held his shield and slammed away the three ghouls besieging him, touched his face blackened by magic, and shouted, "Nima, this can't work!" There are more and more demon monsters, and if this continues, the barbarian girl will have no power, and everyone will be consumed to death. ”
The half-fish man standing at the end of the line nodded in agreement when she heard this, and at this time, she didn't have the heart to worry about the title of the cockscomb head, and said urgently: "I still have 35% of my mana left, plus the [Master-level Mana Instant Recovery Elixir], hold on for another 15 minutes at most, and find a chance to retreat from the city wall to replenish." Ah......h
As he was talking, the half-fish man suddenly screamed, and the four-headed ghoul seemed to notice the strong combat power of this team, and roared towards the half-fish man with his limbs, and when they jumped in the air, a spear suddenly pierced from the side, and the body of the spear shook, turning into six gun shadows.
Bang bang......
The shadows of the guns converged into a curtain of guns, catapulting the four ghouls one after another, and before they could hit the ground, Vanilla Sky had already rushed over, pulling the hatred of the four-headed monsters over, followed by the attacks of the four ranged classes in the team.
The burning light blue stood with a spear, standing in front of the half-fish man, watching more and more monsters emerge on the wall, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brush up on experience for another 5 minutes, and then withdraw the wall to replenish." ”
If the knight's understatement was heard by the other players present, he would probably faint on the spot. The other players on the city wall are in a situation that they can't protect themselves, but they are taking the level 60 rare elite strength monster experience to farm experience? I'm afraid that only such a team composed of first-class and top-level masters can easily cope with such a battle.
"Strange, something is wrong!" After the African savior shot a gargoyle, he wondered: "There weren't so many monsters from last night to the early hours of the morning, how could there be monsters attacking the city in the morning?" The North Wind Fortress is a place for players to level up, so who can level up in this way? Did someone trigger the story quest? ”
"Damn! Story Missions! Vanilla Sky barely stabilized his body under the attack of the four-headed ghoul, and when he heard this, his expression was abrupt, and then he said hatefully: "There is only the possibility of a plot mission, Nima, it must be that bastard who triggered the plot quest, so that we were involved, and I knew that we must settle accounts with this guy." ”
Suddenly, there was a panicked warning from Fei Yu Qianmang: "Oops! It's over, you see......"
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the female archer, and their hands and feet suddenly became cold, only to see that at the end of the Death Desert sky in the distance, a long black line appeared on the ground line, rapidly approaching the northern city fortress.
"So many demons! The invasion of the Demon Legion on all fronts......" The fire in the medicine man's eyes beat violently, and his personality was gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel trembling all over.
"What the hell is this ......"
"Ding......, the whole server announcement. The full-server story mission 'Abyss Mutation' has been completed, and the entire Rhine-Rohns Continent has entered a state of readiness, and players can go to the palace guard to learn about the specific matters.
List of players who have completed the 'Abyss Mutation' quest - Duke Dusk (Chaos), Absolute Thousand Rounds (Rank), Silence and Fearlessness (Rank), Mi Lier (Rank), and Swordsman's Light Eyebrows (Rank). ”
"Ding...... repeat again. Announcement of the whole server. Full Server Story Quest - 'Abyss Mutation' Completed ......"
……
The three consecutive announcements of the whole server made the burning light blue and the others stunned, and the half-fish man stared at the back of the cockscomb head warrior and mocked: "Uncle Vanilla, who did you just say you were looking for to settle accounts?" ”
"Haha......, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
The burning light blue looked complicated, clenched the knight's spear, and scolded: "This guy, it's really, it's really ......" Speaking of which, I don't know how to describe the captain who always makes him deflated and headaches.
Suddenly, the ground under their feet trembled, and the corpses piled up on the city wall began to tremble, and in the loud bang, as if the entire city wall was about to collapse, the players subconsciously looked back, and rows of high-raised riding spears came into view, shining dazzlingly in the early morning light.
"For the glory of the North Wind Fortress, for the peace of the continent, for our homeland!" The knights led by the rolling iron hooves let out a loud roar, and the knights in silver armor responded in a torrent.
No matter how fierce the blades were, no matter how loud the magic roared, no matter how loud the drums of war were, they couldn't hide the huge sound of this torrent.
"For the sake of the Borean Fortress, for the glory - kill!"
The heavy gates slowly opened, and the cavalry pierced into the demon army like swords, the blue cloak fluttering in the morning breeze, and the pattern of the snow-white eagle on it was so brave.
In the early morning of this day, the northern outpost of the mainland, the North Wind Fortress, fell into the encirclement of the Demon Legion, and the Snow Eagle Legion belonging to the Continental Alliance was completely annihilated......
