Chapter 197: Burning the Wasteland: The Beginning of the Riot
Doco City. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
With a solemn heart, Ike and Ellie finally returned here.
At the gate of the city, puffs of dust and smoke rose from the gates, and groups of soldiers came and went, looking very hurried. They had coldness and seriousness on their faces, and the armor and weapons on their bodies created a tense atmosphere.
"What's wrong with Doco?" asked Ellie.
"Let's go, let's go back to the academy first. Ike patted her little hand, and the two of them walked into the area.
"Stop!" a soldier noticed their presence and hurried up.
"Big Brother Hyde?" Ike looked at the soldier's face, and quickly met an acquaintance in his memory.
"Huh, it's you kid!" Hyde's face softened slightly after seeing Ike, "I heard that you went to the Depression World, and now you're back?
"Thankfully, the Death Basin lair has been destroyed. Ike naturally knew the hidden meaning of Hyde's words, after all, the impact of this incident was too far-reaching, and the whole of Elo basically understood the danger.
"By the way, Brother Hyde, Doke City is under martial law, what happened?"
Hyde's body shook, glanced back at the soldiers who continued to be busy, and said in a low voice, "There are signs of a riot in the scorching lair, and the city lord has given an order for first-level alert!"
"Scorching Lair, Lava Forest?" said Ike, who had a few breaths of gloom piling up between his eyebrows.
The Scorching Lair is so famous, it is a real abyss-level lair, and in the event of a large-scale riot, even the legendary-level powerhouses may fall!
Basic information on the Scorching Lair: One of the three Abyssal-level Lairs that exist in the Gamma Empire, it is also the largest and oldest Lair.
The master of its lair is the molten demon Gudilark!
Gudilark, the original species of the Ancient Demon, number 12, wields the Heart of Molten Fire and is rumored to be the Evil of Calamity!
He was rescued from the seal by the demons, and he has always kept the original contract and formed an alliance with Klosesko. In the era of war and cataclysm, he single-handedly formed the Incineration Corps and wreaked havoc in the Black Forest.
He originally had the strength of a tenth-order legend, but Erlo had to pay a heavy price for heavy casualties to defeat him completely!
After thousands of years of cultivation, it is still unknown how much strength he still has. Of course, he must not have reached his peak yet, otherwise the scorching lair would have become a terrifying place at the level of hell.
In terms of scale, the Scorching Lair ranks third among all the abyssal ranks! It can be said that it is a big problem for the Gama Empire, and for this reason, the empire has specially stationed the most elite mountain tiger legion in the melting forest on the outskirts of the lair, and set up an exclusive military forbidden area.
In the past, only legendary powerhouses who had been approved by the empire could bring some of the younger generation to trial. In normal years, this place is surrounded by an iron turtle, and the alert level is perverted!
Strange to say, since the establishment of the Scorching Lair, it has not had a single riot except for the scorched earth of the Lava Forest! It is like an extinct volcano! This record has been maintained to this day, and it is still a mystery!
Some speculate that Goodilark is really recuperating and preparing for a thunderous blow. There is also speculation that the Scorching Lair is waiting for the demon army to reconquer Ello.
No matter what the opinions were, the Gama Empire has always been vigilant, and they know better than anyone that this is a sleeping lion! Once he opens his eyes, one-third of the vast territory of the Gama Empire will be plunged into the smoke of war, and the number of victims will be countless!
This is still the most conservative estimate, if those large and small nests are connected in series, and even trigger the riot of the other two hell nests, the Gama Empire will completely fall!
It is precisely because of this concern that can threaten the entire Ello that the Torch Council has also called for the formation of an elite army called Blaze Feather to defend itself.
"Is this true?" When Ike said this, he suddenly heard the strange words in Grant's mouth, and his heart immediately believed seven or eight points.
"Lord Castle Lord, assures that the information channel is accurate. Hyde sighed.
The destruction of the Grey Smoke Lair guarded before also liberated some of the troops to some extent, but the riot of the Scorching Lair made this liberation undetectable.
Now that it has become a stalemate, I have to hope that the front-line troops can withstand the pressure and beat those demons back.
To be honest, Doco City's position is too awkward, it is the closest city to the lair, and it is also a famous capital of learning!
In the event of a war, this will become a bridgehead against the nest, and no one will be able to take it out at that time.
"Ike, you're a member of Lyremagis Academy, I'm sure the academy has already made arrangements, go back quickly. Hyde let him go directly, if he usually wouldn't have pulled Ike to have a good chat, but now the situation is almost like a mountain pressing on the hearts of these soldiers, how can he be in the mood to do idle things.
"Yes, see you back, Big Brother Hyde. Ike said goodbye and returned to Lyle Magis as fast as he could.
At this time, the academy did not have the vitality and relaxation of the past, and on the road near the door, he met a group of students, they were neatly dressed and carrying weapons!
It seems that the matter is more serious than Hyde describes, at least the situation on the front line is not optimistic.
Phoenix Boulevard.
The lifeless Forgotten Street has disappeared, and after more than half a year's effort, after the rebuilding and sorting of the academy, this place has a new look, and it is really like a nirvana rebirth!
There was still a stubborn expression sitting in the square at the corner of the street, silently smoking the big cigarette.
"Mentor Hans, I'm back!" said Ike in a respectful greeting, and he sent the message back yesterday.
"Ike, you're finally back!" Hans's eyes lit up, he was waiting for this kid here.
"I..."
"Come with me!" Hans didn't say a word, and without giving Ike a chance to react, he dragged him away, and Ellie followed.
When- When-
The thick and melodious bells of the bell tower floated out, which also made the entire Lembest branch boil!
Renovation of a brand-new martial arts training ground.
In just ten minutes, everyone gathered here.
Ike, Arsati, Cassie, Tashi, Dante, Nafi, and Aragon were lined up in a neat row, followed by Ellie and other girls.
Kyle and Juan and the other mentors stood in front of them, their former kind faces.
"According to the latest information, at around half past three this afternoon, the first line of defense of the Mountain Tiger Legion was completely breached, and the Scorching Lair Riot began!" Kyle Lang said.
"What, so fast?" Tashi was the first to react, it had only been two hours since the news of the nest riot came, and the first line of defense that had been carefully arranged for many years had been breached.
The same question exists in Nafi and Cassie, who grew up in Doco City and are the heirs of their respective families, and know more about the Mountain Tiger Legion than ordinary people.
"The demons are prepared, in fact we got the news a few months ago. Juan added. "But we don't know the time of the riot, so we can only defend passively. β
"Half an hour ago, the empire had already sent a corps to support, and at the same time contacted the surrounding forces, but..." Kyle groaned. "They will have to wait at least five days before they arrive. β
"Why?" asked Aragorn.
"There have also been large-scale riots in other places, and even the hidden forces of the demons have attacked!" Hathaway replied with a lift on her framed glasses, "There has been news on the magic network, and the surrounding roads are blocked, which is centered on the scorching lair!"
"In a way, we're theoretically alone. β
"Are you going to die?" Tashi scratched his head.
"They've always had one purpose!" Kyle continued, "and that's Doco. β
"Fei is so hard to attack Doko City, what are they trying to do?" Arte was puzzled, even if Doco City was really occupied, with the advantage of the main battlefield, the Gama Empire could fight back, at most the situation was stalemate.
"For the heart of the molten fire. Juan looked at the sky.
"Not many people know this secret, in fact, Lyle Magis was not in Doco City, but moved here later. β
"Yes... Is that so?" Ike and the others looked at each other, they really didn't know about this part of history.
"Hehe, Lyle Magis was just a small academy back then, so who cares where it is located?" Kyle shook his head.
At the beginning, Lyermagis was a small academy, but his founder was a strong man who stepped into the legend in half a step, even if there was no miracle of Rugaso, Lylemagis could still be famous, but it was impossible to win the reputation of the current four major colleges.
Moving the academy here is actually to keep that strong man guarding one thingββββ Molten Heart!
The Molten Heart is a kind of strange treasure, which holds a special fire origin and is the foundation of Gudilark's rise.
When the Burning Legion was defeated, Goodilark was forced into the lair, and the Molten Heart formed a different dimension in the area where it fell!
The Xenodimensional space, like the historical projection and the Void Dimension, is an independent small space, connected to Elllo through some kind of channel.
Due to the interference of magic rules, this alien space has been sealed, and it is impossible to take away the Molten Heart.
"So you should understand. Juan spread his hands.
The Molten Heart can be said to be the source of Gudilark's power, once it falls into his hands, I am afraid that he will be able to recover from his injuries in a short time!
"How can it be!" Dante clenched his head viciously, and the anger on his body involuntarily emanated.
"Teacher, what are we supposed to do?" Ike stared at Kyle.
"Do your best to hold on to Doco and survive these few days. Kyle turned, "You guys should go out of the city too, I'm afraid a lot of demons have already run out of the lair." β
"Yes!" said several people in unison. (To be continued.) )
