Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Planet Circle (Two Chapters in One)
In the depths of the deep chasm, a silver battleship silently swept through the disorderly space that did not even exist in darkness, leaving no trace behind it.
The city-like size, the shiny silver shell, the rigid metallic texture, the angular hull, the components composed of perfect geometry, and the blue energy flow flowing on the surface of the body all make the battleship extremely beautiful.
Except for those unidentified objects around the battleship.
Twelve shuttle-type creatures clinged to the surface of the battleship, hundreds of limp tentacles dragged a long trajectory behind the battleship, and occasionally huge eyes opened on the tentacles, lazily looking around, but soon closed again again, as if they hadn't woken up.
However, some of the other eyes do not close, because they are very similar to the bodies of eyeballs that do not have the function of closing their eyes at all, and these eyeballs are staggered in the tentacles of those shuttle-shaped creatures on the surface of the battleship, and the pupils frequently turn around, I don't know if they are observing or thinking about something.
There is no doubt that the battleship must be Roland, the leader of the contemporary metal lifeforms, and those strange and unknown objects are naturally in the most difficult times, and Roland's old friends and Void Eyes are in the same trouble, and now this combination form takes turns to support the order space within the body and maintain its own existence, which can make the three creatures persist in the rift for a long time, which is the standard posture of the three creatures in the depths of the rift, and at the same time, it is also the most powerful combined posture of the known civilization in the world of the twisted void.
The interior of the battleship was brightly lit, and it was impossible to distinguish between day and night, but there were no intelligent beings in the huge battleship, and everywhere was empty, as if there were no passengers at all.
No, although there were few of them, there were people, people concentrated in one corner of the battleship.
In a remote corner, the female swordsman stared at the giant sword in front of her, the smooth sword body reflected her face, and in the pupils behind the glasses, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and she could no longer see any emotion.
The black-haired forest spirit lowered his head, carefully adjusted the bowstring of the hunting bow, slowly chewed a few leaves in his mouth, and his beautiful side face was calm, as quiet as a sleeping forest in the middle of the night.
The indifferent mountain elf was as indifferent as ever, leaning against the metal wall with an expressionless face, several arcs of electricity appeared and disappeared in her fingertips, the arcs occasionally collided, splashing sparks, and the sparks shimmered from time to time, leaving a haze on the indifferent face.
The flamboyant necromancer sat on the shoulder of the mountain elf, playing with the smooth skull in his hand, the green soul fire dancing in the eye sockets of the skull, the jaw that kept opening and closing seemed to be talking to his holder, but there was no sound, the necromancer was as lazy as before, as if she didn't care about anything, but her other hand clenched the bone whip beside her, the taut fingers and the back of the hand glowing with cyan veins, but she disagreed.
The stocky dwarf silently wiped the battle axe in his hand, the battle axe had been polished as bright as new, but its owner did not seem to be satisfied, still persistently wiped, wiped a few times, put down the suede and poured a large sip of strong ale, and then put down the wine bag to continue wiping, and it didn't take long for a three-kilogram wine bag to be drunk and thrown aside, piled up with two other wine bags of the same fate.
The diminutive halfling was huddled in the corner, his already small size becoming more inconspicuous, as if this would give him a sense of security, and the pointed hat obscured his face so that it was impossible to see his expression, except for a gold coin that appeared and disappeared on his finger, as if he were really alive.
The handsome knight stood guard in another corner, leaning against his most loyal companion, the Nightmaremon, gently caressing the nightmaremon's broad back with his armor-covered left hand, and gently twisting a delicate bright red rose with the other hand, although he put the rose in front of him from time to time and sniffed it, but more often than not, he just stared blankly at the rose, as if through the rose, he could see all kinds of memories of the past.
It seems to feel a little cold, and the ordinary winged man wraps his body tightly with white wings, looking down at his hands exposed from under the wings, on his slender fingers, outside the white silk gloves as thin as light gauze, the six quaint rings are particularly obvious, even the layman can see that each ring is at least thousands of years old, but even after a long time, the energy contained in the ring is still unfathomable, and the whole body exudes a dangerous aura. Staring at the hands, staring at the ring, the leisurely origin of the Wingman, perhaps remembering some interesting memories, the Wingman occasionally showed a knowing smile, but the smile was fleeting, and then returned to an expressionless appearance.
No one spoke, no one was in the mood to talk, in the gloomy environment, everyone sat quietly in the shadows, silently thinking about their own thoughts, and the solemn atmosphere spread unscrupulously around everyone, making the atmosphere more depressing every minute.
"Dear friends of different races. "There was a glimmer of light, and the projection of the metallic lifeform appeared on the metal wall, and in front of the conical head, two red lights were still flickering, but I don't know why, it always made people feel a lot dimmer, but fortunately, it was full of metallic texture, and the sound mixed with the buzzing sound did not change much, it was still the same Roland, "It's almost time." β
No one answered, and it wasn't until a long time before a soft mum came out of the nose of someone who didn't know who. Roland did not urge, but sighed very humanly and waited patiently for them.
"Eh?" The voice of doubt dragged on for a long time, this habit is so familiar, the familiarity is heart-wrenching, when the eyes left the hunting bow, the calm expression was replaced by the banter and cunning of the past at the moment of raising the head, Moria looked at the motionless crowd blankly, and asked in confusion, "Are you going to sit here all the time? If you just sit, isn't it good to sit at home? Why do you want to lie in other people's bodies? Eh, eh, you guys are actually lying in other people's bodies and refuse to come out, it's really ...... β
Lin Jing herself can't go on, no one stops her, no one knocks her, this feeling is too boring, it's not interesting at all, Moria doesn't like it very much, but many times, she has to do something she doesn't like, perhaps, this is the sadness of intelligent creatures.
"Moria, is it true?" Save did not bow his head shyly in the eyes of everyone for the first time, but raised his head and asked seriously, "Is it true that day that you hinted at it?"
"Eh, Sasa, why do you doubt me, how many times have I lied to you? β
"Every time. β
"Eh, eh, it's so sad for me to say that. Moria was aggrieved as if she was about to cry, but her expression changed instantly, and she said gloomily, "Even if it's fake, you won't go?" Are you planning to betray your beliefs, stand on Shuer's side, and send billions of living beings into the underworld, or are you still naΓ―ve to think that as long as you don't participate in it, you can sleep peacefully every night in the second half of your life?"
"I ......" The female swordsman's hand clenched the hilt of the sword with constant force, and even the joints showed a pale loss of blood, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a complete word.
"Wake up, Sasa, since he has reached this point, there is no turning back, the final result will appear sooner or later, the difference is only a matter of time. It is a kind of luck for him and us to be able to face us at the last moment, and for us to put an end to his conspiracy, whether it is for him or us, are you going to give up this opportunity and have someone else send him on his last journey?"
Saph gritted his teeth tightly, a thin mist on the thick lenses of his glasses, and his lips trembled violently, no, his whole body trembled violently, as if he was trying his best to endure it.
"Clumsy performances, stupid rhetoric, naΓ―ve ideas. Mia's sneer suddenly came from beside him, and the mountain elves had already stood up hand in hand, and walked side by side with Miridy in front of Moria, leaving Saf with only a resolute back and a cold word, "Now there is at least a chance to see him one last time, and there is still a chance to ask him face to face how he can do such a thing, isn't this enough?"
"Let's go, there's no point in delaying. The rose had turned into a spear, and the blood-colored tip of the spear glowed with a strange light, and Duck led the nightmare beast's head and walked forward without looking back, "If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid I can't help it." β
"I see. After standing with his eyes closed for a long time, Saf nodded weakly and said softly, "Then let's go, Moreya." β
"Huh?"
"I know that you are for my own good, and I also know that I am angry with you, and when I was leaving, Shur also explained to me personally, when he is not around, if I don't know how to decide something, I will do everything you ask, and you will never harm me. Saph sighed and smiled bitterly, "But even if I am angry, I still have to say that if you are lying to me......"
"Yo Yo Yo, what are you talking about, I'm an honest deer, how could a deer lie. Moria tilted her head and smiled innocently, grabbed Saf's hand and chased after the others' backs, "Don't worry, I'm the most honest, I won't lie to you, let's go, Shure is still waiting for us to see him off, don't let him wait." β
Under the guidance of Roland's projection, the group walked through the long corridor in the spaceship with heavy steps, and boarded the bridge that Roland specially attached to himself in order to carry people.
"Wait a little longer. The projection of the metal lifeform disappeared, and then appeared in the screen that had just lit up, and the red light on Roland's head flickered frequently, as if he was calculating something quickly, "Since there is no concept of space and time in the rift space, it is difficult to judge the specific arrival time, it can only be said that it will arrive soon, and it should be in ...... Within minutes. β
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Mia said coldly, "How long do we have left?"
"You mean ......"
"Yes. β
"Eight hours, eight hours at most. The cone-shaped head turned rapidly, "He doesn't have much time left in this world, although we have already prepared to travel at the request of the gods, and you have assembled quickly with the help of the gods, but after all, it is still too passive, and it takes a lot of time on the road, and it is already the limit to stay for eight hours." β
"Eight hours is just a theoretical number. Mia frowned and calculated, shook her head, and said, "It's too dangerous." β
"Yes, the limit number, for the sake of insurance, of course, the sooner the better, no accidents can be guaranteed within two hours, and ...... after two hours"
Several people looked at each other and smiled bitterly, two hours, the time is too short, the opponent is still that guy, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle today.
"Mr. Roland. It was the first time for Darker to enter the depths of the rift, but at this time he couldn't care about his curiosity, his professional instinct had already put him into a pre-war state, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any battle plans?"
"In fact, the easiest way is to directly use exterminating firepower to completely destroy the new brown galaxy, although there is the protection of the gods, but the power of the goddess of the dark moon, like other gods, is mainly contained in the ritual, and it is necessary to maintain the order zone within the range of the new brown star, there are very few that can be used to protect the galaxy, if our three clans join forces, it should not be difficult to destroy the target galaxy. After destroying the galaxy, the last node that was tightly guarded will naturally be exposed, and it will be much easier for you to raid the Shuer's defenses head-on so that the gods can recapture the last node. But...... I don't want that. β
"Eh, why?" asked Moria, curious.
"I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it. Roland's red light flickered, obviously not telling the truth, and he didn't intend to tell the truth, "When the gods summoned us, they promised that we could fight in the way we liked, and on the way, our three clans discussed it, and we didn't intend to use this most direct method. β
The three races are too powerful and their status is quite delicate, and the gods have always tacitly acquiesced that they have many privileges, and this time is no exception.
"And the gods have said that this trip is based on your opinion. "You know him best, so it's up to you to decide the key issues, including how you fight." β
"Eh, my mother didn't tell me beforehand. As soon as he heard it, he was lying, and what he said was insincere, Moria smiled dumbly, shook her head and said, "I understand him, even if you really use the simplest method, I'm afraid it's not so easy, he won't leave such a big loophole, he must have been prepared." β
"Well, I believe what you say. β
"But we don't need to worry, choosing the new brown star system as the decisive battle location is actually a double-edged sword, here he does have a deep foundation, he himself and Lord Luna's strength is the strongest, but he may not care, but with Lord Luna's mercy, he can't bear to see the brown star people suffer heavy casualties, so he can't fight here unscrupulously, he must be restrained, and can only try to control the war in a small area, which conflicts with his purpose of delaying time. Well, that's his only weakness and our biggest chance. β
"Moreover, the gods chose to gather a few of us, not for no reason, only we can ...... smoothly" Moria was saying, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of her, and Roland's body finally successfully broke through the rift space and appeared in the order zone, under the contrast of light and dark, the stellar light of the new brown star was so dazzling that the group on the spaceship couldn't even open their eyes.
No, no, it wasn't the light of a star, it was an attacking beam of destruction.
Yes, at the same time that Roland entered the range of the new brown star, two condensed beams of light rushed towards him, colliding head-on with Roland's hastily opened energy shield.
"Boom", the beam and the shield collided head-on, and a more dazzling light than just now filled the surroundings, completely blocking everyone's sight.
The power of the energy beam is extremely powerful, and it can even pose a threat to Roland's shield, under the bombardment, Roland's hull shook violently, and everyone on the bridge was shaken crookedly, and even the Suo people and the Void Eye attached to the spaceship were startled, and they left the surface of the spaceship one after another, suspended around Roland.
When the light cleared, it was finally possible to see the surroundings and what was attacking.
Three huge planets are facing the spaceship in distant orbits, and the surface of the planets is covered with the lines of the magic array, and there is still a flow of energy in the lines that have not yet dissipated.
Planet Fortress, the ultimate weapon developed by mages for the magic civilization, a war fortress with both attack and defense.
Originally, it was just a design on paper, but no one expected that Shuer would turn the design into reality without anyone knowing.
Mia and Miridy should be proud at this point, as the design of the planet fortress has proven to be feasible and powerful, worthy of decades of research by the Tower of the Seven. However, no matter how powerful the magic circle is, if the first one to face is yourself, it will be difficult for people to be proud.
At this time, the three planets were obviously manipulated, hovering motionless in orbit, and the energy in the planets climbed to the highest again, but it was always condensed, threatening the metal life forms from afar.
"It's ...... Fortress main gun. "There is no air, and the sound cannot be transmitted, but the thunderous voice of a certain shuttle creature came into everyone's ears, and there was no anger in the voice, but rather excitement, "Since the end of the great battle that affected seventeen civilizations in our own void eight thousand years ago, and those fools successfully self-destructed, we have never experienced the power of the fortress's main cannon, interesting, so interesting." β
"Of course you find it funny that I was beaten. β
Although Roland was unscathed, he was also quite curious about these strange planet fortresses, and the cone-shaped bow cracked up and down, revealing a metal probe needle with a diameter of tens of meters inside, "boom", and the energy beam shot out from the top of the probe.
For Roland, this level of energy attack is just the simplest temptation, just like a cat can't help but stretch out its paws to touch something that makes him curious, there is no intention to attack at all, and in his opinion, there is no aggression at all. But that's just his idea, so powerful that he has nothing to do with the word normal for a long time, for the normal world, this so-called tentative energy attack is enough to penetrate the core of the planet and turn the planet into fireworks in the void.
The speed of the energy beam was extremely fast, and as soon as it was generated, it had already reached the edge of one of the planet fortresses, as if the process had been completely ignored. At this moment, the only one of the three planets that did not launch an attack finally had an energy response.
As the energy intensity on the third planet suddenly rose, a faint energy shield appeared out of thin air between the attack beam and the target planet, protecting the target planet behind, and the tentative attack sent by Roland bombarded the light shield, the light shield barely changed, only flickered a few times, although it disappeared as abruptly as it appeared, but the planet fortress behind it was not affected at all, and it was still facing off with Roland.
"Oh, that's ironic, flat-chested. On the bridge, Miridy smiled self-deprecatingly and said sarcastically, "Is this self-digging a grave?"
"At the beginning, in order to reach an agreement with him, the speakers showed him the blueprints of the ball-shaped attack circle and the defense circle, although they were only shown for a moment and then retracted, but ...... His memory was apparently overlooked. Mia said with a straight face, "In less than two minutes, he actually wrote them all down, and judging from the results, it was obviously exactly the same." β
"I'm afraid he also tricked a lot of mages in the tower into building for him, but he doesn't have the ability to do it on his own. Miridy sneered, "Fortunately, we know enough about the characteristics of the circle, and if we want to restrain it, we can still be sure." β
"The question is, can you guarantee that he hasn't made any changes to the details?" Mia sneered, "I can't guarantee that. β
"I don't dare. Milita was stunned for a moment, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Shur is too cunning to do anything. β
"Fortunately, we don't need to fight ourselves. Mia's cold gaze turned to Roland, "Roland, can you solve it?"
"It's hard to destroy galaxies without destroying them. Roland said with certainty, "But it doesn't have to be destroyed, an attack of this strength won't cause damage to me, you can just rush over, but the process will be very annoying, very annoying, and there is one biggest trouble, I can't pull them." β
As a result, more than a dozen shuttle-type creatures who had been eager to try it for a long time rushed out happily waving their tentacles, and rushed towards the three planet fortresses without any protection.
The strength of the body of the Suo people is too high, even the metal lifeform clan thinks that there is no solution, and the main cannon of the planet fortress is meaningless in front of the Suo people, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop these curious tentacle creatures from approaching. The controller of the fortress probably also knew that the attack must be ineffective, and did not launch an attack the whole time, not even the target was changed, and he was always locked on Roland, allowing the Suo people to gradually approach.
Just as the Suo people were about to arrive, nearly a thousand inconspicuous small black dots suddenly rose from the first fortress planet.
In everyone's sight, the black dots became bigger and clearer, huge figures, thick fleshy wings, slender necks, powerful bodies, the same head, and loud long groans pierced through the void that the sound could not transmit, piercing into everyone's ears.
The dragons are coming.
