Chapter 838: Bait
"Angelina, how many legends do you have around you now?"
"There are already four of my mages and eight more in the Guards, but half of them are not spellcaster types. ”
Xia He was surprised, he never knew that there were so many legends around the princess.
The last time he was assassinated, he thought Angelina was understaffed. Now that I think about it, the princess was simply too confident. She is a powerful legendary mage in her own right, and she doesn't feel like she needs protection.
"You remember, this artificial Void Demon is very resistant to gravity, electromagnetism, lightning and space, and it would be better if it had a little bit of prophecy ability. God-based magic can hurt them just as much. ”
"What about the equipment?" Princess Angelina knew what Xia He was thinking, she didn't have a good alchemy factory now, the original factory was dismantled, sent to the east, and a large alchemy factory was formed, which is now in the hands of the nobles.
Originally, I didn't care about this kind of thing, anyway, there were only three alchemy factories on Asla's side, all of which were large, and if there was a lack of materials, these nobles would not be able to hold their necks.
But now that she needs special equipment, she doesn't know how to deal with the Void Demons, so she can only ask Asra for it.
Xia Hedao: "It's hard to say here, I'll turn around...... Forget it, give you the blueprints, you don't have a factory, just send two legends over, and I'll ask them to bring a batch of weapons back. ”
"Can't you come by air?"
"The six-pointed star airship can't avoid the attack of the Void Demon Clan at all, and the flying battleship is not safe, and there are not many supplies that can be carried. The legend I have in hand now has to process all some special parts to deal with the weapons of the Void Demon Clan, which is not too easy to manufacture, and if I say it right this time, you owe me. ”
"Good. ”
Princess Angelina has not been idle recently, and has gathered many cronies from the mainland. Anyway, the imperial capital doesn't need her to arrange any power, let the ministers play by themselves. In the New World, the land she occupied by herself, centered on the main city of the royal family, spread outward for three thousand miles, and the territory was large enough.
This is the circle that His Majesty the Emperor made when he left, there is an obvious boundary, even the demon race, and they dare not enter this area rashly.
Luring the nobles to build a large alchemy factory, searching for passages in the eastern seas, and preparing for a full-scale war with the Half-Elf Empire, Princess Angelina is now running out of manpower. She can't borrow people from Xiahe, so she can only transfer them from the empire.
With more people, she began to gather more detailed information.
The Merreven family is indeed not very clean, and they have also mobilized people from the mainland, which is not very reasonable, because in the Arcane Empire, he is still at war with Asla's family. Although the two sides are far apart, in the territory of the Paine family, Asra still has a strong legion.
More than 100,000 people, of course, can't eat and work for nothing, as long as there is an opportunity, the Duke of Tombstone will definitely stab the Merrithin family in the back.
The Merifin family's last expedition failed, and it stands to reason that they should have hoarded troops and horses in the west to prevent Duke Asra from counterattacking, so why did they increase their troops in the New World instead?
Although there are many demons in the New World, the strength of the human legion is enough at the moment, after all, there are many robots. If it weren't for the fact that the land area of the New World was too large to keep the demons in one place, the human race would have launched a general attack long ago.
Princess Angelina's current mood is that there are always people who want to harm me. The Merifin family must have a disobedient heart, but fortunately, Duke Asra wants to kill him, otherwise even if he is in danger, it is not good to really do something to the Merriphon family. The royal family is sometimes very beautiful, and sometimes it is very aggrieved.
If it were His Majesty the Emperor, of course, he could find trouble with the Merriphon family. The princess doesn't have the confidence to do so.
Most of the mages on the Xia River side were not in the army, but in the Tower of Babel. The tasks assigned by Xia He were quickly split up and left to many research groups to solve. He himself was involved and took care of the most troublesome part.
For example, there are many ideas for the Void Demons, as well as what kind of magic is used as the foundation, how to design in a specific direction, basic magic patterns, material selection, and so on.
These are things that require experience to do, otherwise too much time will be wasted. Xia He has the knowledge of the Dao Palace, and he must be right in the general direction, and he can take shortcuts. As for the rest of the analysis calculations, the various tests, on the contrary, are simple. The high-level magicians do it, and the low-level magicians go to the illusion to test.
It was only half a day's work, and the equipment that Xia He needed was designed, weapons specifically for the Void Demon Clan, as well as defensive equipment and so on.
It should have been in the evening, and Xia Ye's army had arrived at their destination, a castle attached to the Great Wall.
Along the way, he suffered a lot of attacks, and the demons stalked him in the back, delaying his steps. In order to avoid too much damage to his soldiers, he had to reduce the speed of his march.
The castle is south of the Great Wall and has a tower in front of it. There is also a low perimeter wall, which is more than two miles from the castle. The castle itself is not big, and the wall was first used to define the coordinates, that is, the accumulation of earth and stones, and not even a single magic was added. Moreover, the two-meter-high wall is not an obstacle at all for the demons.
The castle is extremely high, and the top floor is about 60 meters tall.
The trapped army was a full-scale brigade of 500 people, and although Xia Ye came late, this brigade did not reduce its strength much, and less than 20 people died. But almost all of the mechanical warriors died, and the two dozen or so people who died were all killed by the demons in frontal battles.
If Xia Ye doesn't come again, when the magic structure runs out of energy, this team will be completely wiped out.
Xia Ye rushed up from the west, and the city of the Great Wall was also full of demons, but he was used to killing along the way, and this army didn't care at all.
The chariot's magic cannon fired flat, and the heavily armed knights charged forward, pushing the demons at the head of the city in one wave.
The army in the castle was ecstatic, five hundred people, it was impossible to defend such a large castle, it was all thanks to the existence of mechanical warriors and constructs, they had held out until now.
Just a minute ago, the Cyborg Warrior ran out of ammo, the top tech cannon was scrapped, and the second-to-last magic cannon ran out of magic gems. The Magic Construct will continue to last for an hour, after which the Magic Construct will go into hibernation.
If the magic construct is dormant, the combat power of those magic net mages will be rapidly reduced, and it will be useless to take medicine.
The robot soldiers ran out of ammunition and fought hand-to-hand with the demons outside, most of the demons were cannon fodder, but the cannon fodder of the demons was at least equivalent to humans who had just become professionals. A dozen fight one, and the mecha warrior dies quickly.
Even if the demons have no skills, their physical bodies are quite strong, and they are not afraid of death, and their steel bodies have fallen.
Natsuno's men entered the castle through a side gate on the city wall and took over the castle perimeter, the cyborg warriors swarmed in, and the six-pointed star airship ventured into the air, dropping alchemy bombs down.
The demon offensive was temporarily alleviated, and the strength of a battalion was quickly in place, and the logistics chariots drove into the castle one by one, unloading the demon sealing box. Several technological cannons on the top floor have been replaced, the magic cannons on the next floor have installed new magic primogems, and the magic array in the underground part has also been replaced with raw coal crystals.
Natsuno inspected the entire castle, and there was no danger inside. It's just that there are more and more demons around, and this is what it looks like to trap yourself to death?
There should be a lot of Void Demons, but fortunately, the ontology's magic book has arrived, and there are a large number of materials.
The magic circle underground was back in operation, and the magicians hurried to add attached magic circles around it. This was done by the way when the castle was built, so that this castle can be protected by many formations, just like a magic tower. It's just that the magic tower will have the ability to communicate with the deep space or the elemental plane, and the magic power is endless.
This castle relies on the use of raw coal crystals as power, and its ability to communicate with deep space is much worse, so it is impossible to have a steady stream of power.
However, Xia Ye was made by Xia He, and the level was no different from Xia He, the space at hand was huge, and the stored resources were enough to squander. Now in the underground magic array space, the raw coal crystals are piled up, and there are some magic stones as backups.
Xia Ye was not worried about these, what he was worried about was that after he arrived, the demon army would be completely besieged, and he would not be able to leave, because if he flew out, he might face a large number of Void Demons. Besides, why fly out, don't you want an army? The walls of the castle can't stop the Void Demon Clan, unless everything is arranged.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to leave, and if the Void Demon Clan rushed in, only a legend could fight the Void Demon Clan.
Fortunately, this may just be a trap for themselves, and the demons are not in a hurry to attack. Maybe the value of the Void Demon Clan is not low, and it can't be wasted as cheap cannon fodder.
Xia Ye took advantage of this time and began to draw a magic array inside the castle.
Summer Labyrinth Magic Array.
Several legendary mages were sent by him to the second underground floor of the castle, ordinary people didn't know that there was an independent space under this castle. In this space, there is a magic circle that is not running, and it is not filled with any magic gems, it is almost mostly blank, only the core part is constant by magic means.
Xia Ye came over, of course, not to eliminate a few Void Demons, he was here to be a bait. This castle has to be impregnable, and then the demons will come and attack in a steady stream.
Xia He wants to know how many strong people he will attract as a stand-in.
If it was this trap designed by the Merifin family, then the Merifin family was not wrong, because under normal circumstances, a legendary mage would not be able to stop a large group of Void Demons from besieging it. As long as he dies, everything in Rhode Island is over.
Yes, he arranged for Sith to be the heir, but the heir has not grown up yet, and there may be internal disorder in Rhode Island, and the troubles of the Merriffin family will of course be solved temporarily.
