Chapter 049: Assassin's Creed (3)
At the excavation site of Elodor, the earth on the surface of the earth has long been hollowed out, and the concave depression is almost entirely exposed rock crust. Extensive tracks are laid in it, connecting the entrances to the large and small mines.
Minecarts laden with minerals fell to the ground at will, all kinds of deep-colored ores and raw raw crystals were scattered in a mess, and in this chaotic excavation field, fierce shouts of killing and monster roars continued to break through the sky.
The Delaney miners had long since left their jobs, replaced by a group of heavily armed guards, and at the same time, taller and more majestic figures stood out and intimidated in the ranks.
The Vigilance, a defense-oriented arcane construct with both arms made of enchanted heavy tower shields, looks like an enlarged version of a Draenei warrior.
The biggest difference between this thing and other constructs is that it's alive. The greatest warrior of the Draenei will pour his soul into this glittering construct and become a watchman who will always protect the people. Although it is not possible to retain the consciousness of the heroes who volunteered to participate in the ceremony, it can infuse these warriors with countless years of combat experience.
It can be said that every vigilante has the combat power of no less than that of high-level professionals.
As for the enemies of this group of elite guards, they are a group of strange creatures with short stature and thick limbs. They have no hair, and have large scales on the outside of their hands and on their backs, which resemble certain minerals in composition, and even clusters of crystals can be seen growing on them.
Iguanas, rock creatures that dwell in underground caverns, are not tall or intellectually retarded, but they have teeth and claws that can shatter even stones. These creatures usually prefer to feed on minerals and crystals, which is a common problem for both the Draenei and the orcs in the process of mining minerals.
However, these creatures are not very bold, and usually only need a little intimidation, and they will soon scatter and flee. But now, in the face of this group of elite guards, they are not afraid to show their fangs and claws.
Despite their abundance and ability to easily bite through the armor of the Draenei guards, this wasn't enough to activate the expensive vigilantes, and it was the unusually burly rock giants that squeezed through the mines and burst out of the mines.
Instead of charging at the behemoth, the Delaney guards built a solid line at the entrance to the excavation site, behind them......
"Archbishop Hataru, the Resonance Crystal has been charged!" the sweaty apprentice technician shouted to the monocle-wearing draenei in the center of the crowd.
"Then what are you waiting for, activate the Arcane Matrix!" Turning his head, Hataru roared at him with a hideous face.
At the same time, a pleasant buzzing sound echoed in everyone's ears.
In the open space behind them, a large purple crystal floated from the metal base, and only a slight sound was heard, and the wedge-shaped crystal cracked in the middle, neatly divided into four pieces of equal size and shape. As it continued to rotate and move, the tip slowly aimed at the excavation site, and blinding purple thunder flashed in the cross gap in the center of the crystal, surging from the bottom at an increasingly difficult speed to catch, reaching the tip.
At the moment when the rich arcane energy reached its peak, a dull loud sound pierced the sky, and a cloud of arcane energy condensed into a fluid left a long tail, accurately hitting the largest Golem.
Rumble!
The ground trembled, and the furious arcane energy instantly tore apart all the enemies within the range of the shelling, and even the Draenei guards dozens of meters away were unable to stand still because of the violent impact. As for the Golem, including his companions and the ground beneath his feet, they were all wiped out in this explosion!
"What have you done?!"
The happy laughter suddenly froze on his face, and Hataru turned his head when he heard the sound, and his face, which was originally flushed with excitement, quickly darkened: "Neri, Akama, what are you doing here?"
"Why did you bury the Resonance Crystal in the ground?" Unlike Akama's composure and caution, Nelly's temper has always been straight, "Don't you know that doing so will disrupt Draenor's magical network, causing these protists to fall into rage and madness?!"
"It's not my fault this time. "The miners accidentally knocked down the nest of a group of iguanas, and these monsters chased them out of the excavation site by taking advantage of their overwhelming numbers. In order to reduce casualties, I had to upgrade the system of defending the enchantment with the Resonance Crystal. ”
"Nonsense! This is called casualty reduction? What are these stone giants and the spore giants that attack the farm?"
"It was just an accident, an accident! And this is the cutting-edge technology I brought from Argus, and if the Council of Bishops could allow mass production and full deployment, there would be no problems at all!" Hataru was not a man of criticism, and he retorted angrily in the face of Nelly's reproach.
"This is not Agus. Akama stepped forward, and his deep voice seemed to have a kind of magic, making people inexplicably want to calm down and listen carefully, "We still don't understand the world, and you should have known what the consequences of using these past technologies without authorization will be." ”
Glancing at the battle that was raging behind him, Hataru fell silent.
Ever since arriving in Draenor, he's been trying to rebuild the technology of the past, and in addition to the amazing buildings and agricultural technology, he wants weapons more than anything else.
However, because Ereda Technology consumes a large number of Resonance Crystals, neither the Prophet, the Council of Bishops, nor the Draenei people agree with Hataru's idea.
Yes, although the Resonance Crystal does not pollute the environment, because it contains a large amount of concentrated energy, it can have a huge impact on the local magic network during the rapid casting process. Argus is a world where star souls exist, and the ability to resist external interference and repair the magic net is very worthy of guarantee. But in Draenor, the weakness of the arcane is obvious, and whenever the draenei use this technique, they are met with resistance from the spirits of nature and the wrath of the protists.
Even if Genidal hadn't crashed, Delaney didn't want to see a vibrant world become chaotic for his own reasons. Moreover, the current situation is that they must settle in Draenor.
With a sigh, Hataru sat down in the mud next to him, clasped his hands together, and no longer reacted to what was around him.
Seeing that he was passive, Akama didn't say anything more, turned to those technician apprentices and said, "You guys, hurry up and close the control panel, overload the resonance crystal that is working." ”
"Others, follow me and drive these monsters out of our land!"
