Chapter 661: Hrudian's Counterattack (2)
Just near the location of the mother of Mares, there is a church about twenty meters high, which is a sanctuary dedicated to the spider goddess Rose, but now it has temporarily become Lane's rest room.
The only people who are qualified to accompany Ryan and Faras in this church are two sisters, La Nina and Senitya, the former has just become the "queen attendant" of Goddess Rose, which is equivalent to allowing Lan Nina, who was originally just a warrior, to work part-time as a priest who believes in Goddess Rose in a very short period of time, and she has to often sit down and meditate to realize her newfound abilities.
It's also a coincidence that the pseudo-artifact set that Ryan made for La Nina before allowed Lan Nina, a warrior, to gain additional abilities that belong to mages and thieves, and now she has the ability to be a priest, which makes La Nina an unprecedented presence in the history of the dark elves who also has four professions of war and thief shepherd, but except for the warrior profession, the other three are all obtained by special means, otherwise if you specialize in these four professions step by step, I am afraid it will take hundreds of years to reach the legendary realm of all of them。
Ryan looked at Ceñeta beside him, he had already accepted this little dark elf girl as his student and taught her magic and enchantment skills, which was not entirely to appease the Hrudian family, but also because Senitea was indeed very talented in enchantment, although she was young and had limited mana, it was difficult to draw magic arrays independently, but Senitea's attainments in enchantment theory even Ryan couldn't help but admire a little, which made him break the barrier between races and add another student.
For the family war that is about to break out, what Ryan has to do is to prepare a large "Thousand Souls Feast" magic array, although in the future, the soul of the Fumi ant clan can be used to create an ordinary level soul golem, but the troops and legendary powerhouses invested by the two camps in this battle in front of him will definitely not be a small number, which is not without benefit to the manufacture of the soul golem, even if it is not used, you can also use the "Yin Soul Spell" magic to let them devour each other, and finally give the "Phantom Entropy Image" Add some new strong souls, and maybe the real Thousand Souls Death will be born in the future.
With the help of the process of drawing the entire large magic array, Ryan also taught Senita a lot of basic knowledge, because he taught it secretly, and Ryan was also ready to take this dark elf girl with him in the future, so there were not too many taboos, except for Victor's "magic array superposition" Waiting for absolute privacy, Ryan can be regarded as a teacher of Xenitya, these magical theories from the human world and the underwater world have made a new avenue appear in front of Xenitia, so that the latter has been hungry for every strange knowledge point in the past few days.
Of course, Ryan has also benefited a lot in the past few days, the Hrudian family is already good at enchantment skills, and as Cenythea, he can naturally mobilize all the books in the family's collection, and Ryan also quickly flipped through a number of books that recorded valuable enchantment techniques and experiences by teaching Cenetia, and with his experience and magical strength, he definitely got more from it than those dark elves who specialize in it all year round.
After having a more comprehensive understanding of the enchantment skills of the dark elves, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in the human low-magic world, it is already a very rare event to be able to give birth to a legendary-level ** master in his hometown, but in the high-magic world of the other world, the legendary powerhouses can often only be used as cannon fodder for the charge, and it is not unusual for a slightly larger-scale war to dispatch a few legions composed of purely legendary powerhouses.
The reason for this may be directly related to the Mithril mineral, because among the many metals with good pro-demon properties, Mithril is the cheapest and most common among them, and this material will be used in any enchantment process, but there is almost no Mithril bonanza in the human world, and only a handful of Mithril are produced every year, which naturally affects the inheritance and research of magic, and there are such existences everywhere in the other world, and even more advanced rare minerals such as star iron are not impossible to collect, and the rich minerals naturally drive the development and inheritance of magic.
"Strange, why is there such a strange terrain in the Eslar continent?" Ryan, who was standing on the platform at the top of the church, was thinking about enchantments, mythril and other questions, but his thoughts suddenly wandered to the terrain of his home continent, whether it was in the underwater world, the abyss in the center of the earth, The multipolar abyss is still another world, it seems that it has never seen that kind of almost completely closed terrain, the Hengduan Mountain Range of the Aislar Continent stretches from west to north, completely separating Lane's hometown from the rest of the entire continent, if it weren't for a gap in the Talon steppe in the north, Lane's hometown would have become a prison, trapped in it.
Even so, the footsteps of human beings have been confined to the narrow space in front of them for thousands of years, and it is almost impossible for a non-Legendary-level powerhouse to climb over the Hengduan Mountain Range, not to mention the towering peaks, the powerful demonic beasts in the depths of the mountain range alone can easily destroy a team of adventurers who are trying to create miracles. The west side was blocked by the mountains, and if you wanted to get to the mountain range, you had to detour through the gap in the north, and Adela led the expedition to take this road.
If it weren't for the combination of humans, dwarves, and elves to form a legion, and the orcs who stood in the way had been defeated in advance, I am afraid that ordinary caravans would not have been able to accomplish such a feat. If you don't go on land, then the south and east are all oceans, and the nearest neighbor is only the underwater world under the sea that doesn't know how many thousands of miles away, it is impossible for normal people to go to those places, there is no legendary-level strength, it is impossible to even breathe underwater, and what normal communication is there.
"Teacher, you see, Mother has given the order to attack!" Senitea's words interrupted Ryan's thoughts, and the latter came back to reality, and he followed Cenetea's point, and sure enough, he saw the twenty heavy stone throwing carts placed behind the battle line move. This kind of heavy stone-throwing truck can drop tons of boulders into the target area several kilometers away at a time, and its lethality is naturally undoubted, but it is precisely because of this terrible lethality that it is often not used in family bloody battles, after all, the attacker will receive everything after victory, and it will be meaningless if it is all smashed.
This time, the mother of Maris did not have so many concerns, on the one hand, because the Hrudian family had already received too many benefits before, even if they took care of the allies who followed her, these benefits had exceeded the upper limit of the Hrudian family's control, and no matter how much it was, it would only be in vain, and it was better to use a sharp visual impact to deter other families.
On the other hand, the strength of the Hrudian family is actually quite strong outside, and the strongest combat power in the family is just a legendary advanced ** Division, and has now been transformed into a soul golem, and at the same time, the strength has also been greatly attenuated, even if the full strength of the Hrudian family, and then piece together the combat power of other families, it is just a group of legendary high-level powerhouses, although this power has a great advantage over the Vigros family, but it can't help the consumption in the defensive battle, especially when those vassal families are not united, so if you want to break the defense line of the Vigros family headquarters in the shortest possible time with the least loss, this is the best means.
A piercing whistling sound pierced the sky, and tons of boulders flew high into the sky under the projection of heavy catapults, the surface of these boulders was specially enchanted, and immediately after being ejected, they burst into flames, which were so striking in the eternally dim otherworldly sky. After a few tens of seconds of flight, tons of boulders began to fall downward, and their own weight, combined with the high-altitude flight of several kilometers, brought an attack force that even buildings with magical defense enchantments attached to them could not resist.
There was a loud bang in the distance from the headquarters of the Vigros family, and then there was a slight tremor on the ground, which was caused by the first boulder falling to the ground, and the place where it landed immediately sank into a deep pit with a diameter of more than fifty meters, and the first building that bore the brunt of it was deeply smashed into the ground by tons of boulders without even having a chance to groan, and the surrounding buildings were also torn apart by the powerful impact in this attack, turning into a pile of ruins.
Without waiting for any reaction from the members of the Vigros family, more boulders landed beside them with a whistling sound, and the buildings that seemed to the Vigros family members to be extremely sturdy could not withstand such a violent torture, and soon became piles of ruins. Seeing that their attack had achieved very remarkable results, the soldiers of the Herudian family coalition cheered together, and their morale quickly rose without any encouragement.
It took at least five minutes to prepare for each launch of the tonnium boulders, and twenty heavy stone-throwing trucks were just enough to continue the uninterrupted cycle of the attack, and after twenty consecutive rounds of stone-throwing attacks, the Herrudian family's first-in-command attack came to an end, and then the Mother of Maris made a gesture to one of the maids beside her, which was the order to launch a ground attack.
