Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Flawless Lake
Intrepid Fortress of Antlasu
The afterglow of the setting sun slowly ended, and the earth was once again shrouded in darkness, and the dreadnought fortress at the end of the Middle Realm was both illusory and real in the five-colored soft light, silently resisting the changes of nature.
The Great Enchantment of the Crystal Light Tower, with the entire Dreadnought Fortress as the foundation of the spell array, the criss-crossing spell loops fluorescently flickered, like glowing silks, constituting the skeleton and flesh of the Great Enchantment.
On the edges stand diagonally five metal platforms, with large crystals of blue, yellow, white, gold, and black suspended above, which are even larger than idle houses, becoming the core hub of the entire spell enchantment.
In addition, the Mage Engineering Team led by Urban and the anti-aircraft turret built around the inner ring of the fortress were also officially completed. Thirty-six heavy metal cylinders with pointed bows and arrows, reflecting the cold light of the forest in the enchantment, are connected to heavy metal turrets underneath as a base for charging and adjusting the angle of the barrels.
"General, the Great Barrier has been debugged, do you want to return to the standby state first. Urban looked at the five glorious round platforms, and there was a faint pain in his heart, every second was hundreds of magic stones.
"That's it. β
Casper looked at the large barrier at the top of the fortress, and he could feel the extremely strong energy belts from it, interlocking and tightly intertwined, and it was definitely not an exaggeration to say that it could resist the attack of super magic for a while.
"Adjust the Great Barrier back to standby mode. β
Urban immediately shouted this sentence, although he was a mage, his cardiopulmonary function seemed to be very strong, and he didn't need a megaphone to shout.
ε²ββε²ββ!
The five-colored soft light flickered, then blurred, and soon melted into the night.
"Now the test firing of anti-aircraft cannons begins. β
General Casper spoke to the super-mage beside him first. Then he said to the lookout adjutant behind him, "Bring the moving target that you prepared last time." Let me see the power of the anti-aircraft cannon. β
"Yes. β
"Prepare for the test firing of the accuracy of the anti-aircraft cannon!"
Urban roared forward again. Thirty-six mages and the same number of lookouts hurriedly climbed onto the pedestal and began to activate the charging of the magic stone and adjust the angle of the barrel.
On the other side, dozens of military policemen dragged fifteen iron cages out of the fortress dungeon, and inside the cage were the personal soldiers of the metal dragon two days ago, the small dragon whose brains were exposed to the air.
Originally, according to Casper's meaning, it was to dispose of more than one. Under the strong resistance of Master Sigma, only fifteen of them were left alive as test subjects for the super mage to study new types of black magic.
The experiment is also going well, and Sigma has already set out to modify the metal dragon, trying to preserve the flesh of the higher dragon species and use it as a boost for the Legion.
So, the fifteen Wyvern soldiers were useless, and Casper was ready to squeeze out the last of their use, and when the target was moved, it would be used to test the accuracy of the anti-aircraft battery.
Through the iron cage, the military police first sealed the dragon's mouth with steel nails. He then tied his claws with chains, and handed the other end to the hussars who were waiting aside.
"General Casper. Ready!" shouted the Warlord Gendarme, facing the Commander.
"Let's get started. β
With a clang, fifteen cages were opened at the same time, and the hussars, carrying the chains in one hand, sprinted into the sky and dragged the wyvern with their feet tied.
When they were almost at the edge of the fortress, they drew their swords and slashed the chains on the dragon's claws before lowering their angles and flying back to the ground on Pegasus.
"Launch!"
Bangββ!
Thirty-six pillars of light pierced the sky, so fast that ordinary people only felt a dazzle, and the fifteen flying dragons who had just regained their freedom and fluttered their wings to fly out of the fortress had been wiped out.
"The accuracy is high. Casper slapped his palms twice with satisfaction, and said to Master Urban: "There is no need for the fire strength test, through the salvo just now, I already have a certain understanding." β
"Got it, so what else do I need to do now?"
"Since the metal dragon before was able to tear the earth apart directly, then our other enemies will be able to do it in the future. The coach looked at the ground that had been broken before, and said with an uneasy face:
"We have to strengthen the ground, at least to the ground under the fortress to the limit. β
"It can be solidified into stone and then reinforced with spells. β
"How long will it take?"
"At a depth of thirty yards per acre of reinforcement, it will take five days to reinforce the underside of the fortress alone, and I don't know if the enemy will give us enough time. β
"Go ahead and do it, the sooner the better. β
"I'll do my best. Urban bowed slightly, and strode towards the mage engineering team in the distance.
β......β
After watching the figure of the super magister disappear, Casper also returned to the main tent, spread out the structural diagram of the dreadnought fortress on the table, carefully observed the half-ring, and looked at the foundation of the fortress on the drawing and pondered.
The hidden dangers inside the fortress have been completely cleared, and now only the reinforced foundations remain, just ...... Do we still have enough time?
Faced with this problem, he thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help but be upset, and rolled up the map and threw it in the corner of the desk.
Casper frantically stood up and forced himself to repeat a few deep breaths before calming down a little, knowing very well that as a commander, he must not show weakness in front of anyone.
I have to be the best version of myself all the time...... Always ......
He looked aimlessly at the edge of the desk, his fingers subconsciously reaching for the drawings, as if that was the future he was about to face, heavy and suffocating.
What's wrong with me?
Casper quickly withdrew his right hand, staring at his palm in a daze, and it didn't take long for him to slowly stretch out his other hand and probe to the bottom of the desk.
There, the sword box, which had been sealed for a long time, was lying there quietly. He gently picked up the sword case, his movements unusually gentle, as if he was holding a sleeping baby.
Clickββ!
Casper brushed the dust off the sword case, and pointed his fingertips on the side mechanism, only to hear a soft click, and the whole space was suddenly filled with an indescribable sharpness.
Long time no see, old man!
He quietly looked at the contents of the box, it was a long sword that surpassed the existing forging process of human beings, the whole body was dark purple, the sword body was engraved with the runes of the lord-level goblin, blooming with a brilliance that shone like a lake under the moon, delicate as a work of art.
Casper slowly stretched out his right hand, hooked the hilt of the sword with his five fingers, and did not shy away from the extremely sharp blade, pressed the blade of the sword to his cheek, and said to himself dreamily:
"As I made to you, I will not regret the choice I made...... My will, my courage, will never change in the slightest. (To be continued......)
