Chapter 63: Reversal of the Situation, Ruthless Trap

Solving the Beacon Guardian is easy to say, but it is easier said than done. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Beacon Guardian is the alchemical guardian barrier that the Thornflower family has built with hundreds of years of painstaking efforts, and it is also the last line of defense for the city-state of Coventry. In addition to the fact that it requires multiple mentor-level powerhouses to activate, and the consumption of mental power is extremely large, there are almost no shortcomings.

With the power of the beacon guard, the city-state of Coventry enjoyed a peaceful life for hundreds of years. Although the desert barbarians have produced many strong people, the great shamans, great wizards and big heads who have reached the level of grandmasters have repeatedly led large armies to attack the city, and often suppressed the city defense army breathlessly. However, each time the barbarian army broke through the outer city wall, and slammed its head in front of the beacon guard.

If you want to break through the thorns, first break the beacon fire. This phrase has become an open secret among the barbarian tribes of the desert, and after the conqueror Alahantou and the great sorcerer Tenadir gathered tens of thousands of troops, they also made the Beacon Guardian the most intractable enemy imaginary, and conducted many reconnaissances, researches, and discussions. He also tried his best to buy some eyeliner, trying to find out the weaknesses of the Beacon Guard.

The Chaos Storm is the response that Tenadir conceived, using an extremely powerful and uncontrollable force to continuously confront the Beacon Guardian and consume the spiritual power to maintain the Beacon Guardian. This method really pushed the Thorn Flower family into a desperate situation, especially when there were traitors and traitors within the family, and the desert barbarians almost achieved their goal.

Of course, by that time, it would have been a different group of people guarding the city-state of Coventry.

As the last descendant of the once-prosperous Recoba family, Lilaya Recoba was certainly not prepared to give this ancestral territory to the desert barbarians. She wanted supreme authority over the city-state of Coventry, not anything else.

After the Beacon Guardian is shattered, the forces belonging to Baron Edelman will be dealt the most serious blow, and the Baron himself will either fall on the tower of the Beacon Guardian or be stabbed from behind with a poisonous dagger, in short, he will definitely die.

In the most critical moment, the person who could stand up and turn the tide was, of course, the Baron's widow, Lady Veronica Boston. After uniting the forces of all parties, plus the hidden killer organization and the strong men of the Night Falcon Squad, there is still some certainty in holding Coventry.

Of course, the worst outcome is that Coventry is breached by the barbarians, and then a new plan is launched to cause plague or other disasters to the barbarian tribes in the rear of the desert, and the conquerors of the Arrahan will definitely not be able to stay in Coventry any longer, but can only plunder and retreat to their lair.

This series of plans is interlinked, and in Lilaya's view, the chances of success can be said to be nine out of ten. However, as soon as the initial link of "Mrs. poisoned and the situation was turbulent", it was disrupted by a sudden guy.

Master Tie, an extremely young pharmacist of unknown strength, is likely to have a group of mentor-level or even grandmaster-level pharmacists behind him as backers. Lilaya did possess the potion to cure the Alchemy's Death Toxin, but it was only after she had the recipe for the Mithril Curse and had undergone countless experiments and adjustments that she could barely concoct it, and the effect was far inferior to the antidote that the Iron Master had taken.

In order to achieve her ultimate goal, Lilaya was ready to linger on the sickbed for several years, so after the poison healed quickly, she reluctantly made a grateful expression, and the shock in her heart was really indescribable.

What happened next made the value of the Iron Master even more extended.

The ability to concoct magical alchemical potions, a deep knowledge of history and military affairs, a nimble mind, a tough personality, a deep background, and extraordinary strength in its own right - these traits are simply blessed by the gods if they appear in allies, and can be flawed in even the most elaborate plans when they appear in opponents.

Chaos Storm failed to break the Beacon Guard, killing the Grand Sorcerer Tenadir, the assassins who arranged the assassination of all the Apothecaries suffered heavy losses, leaving a President of Helderland unscathed, and Rilaya gathered her remaining strength to try to reverse the defeat at the Gala Banquet, only to be ruined by the Iron Master.

This time, however, the plan failed completely before it even began. Liraya's disguised Lady Veronica seems to have been seen through the disguise for a long time, but she failed to see through the flaws of the Baron Edelman next to her in time. It wasn't until she stabbed the blade into the pretender's ribs that she realized from the too weak counterattack that it was not Baron Edelman Brippes, who was close in strength to the grandmaster.

A commotion came from the window. Because the power of the Beacon Guardian was too obvious, the members of the Thorn Flower family who were arguing endlessly were alarmed by the momentum and stopped to look out the window. While Elder Kebagu and the likes of Ser Lorek were still stunned, the former Ranger Captain, Sir Lockner, the mentor-level molten gold warrior, had already jumped to his feet and jumped off the windowsill.

"No, you don't have the right to do that! Edelman Brippes, you don't have the right to start the purge without the permission of the family elders!"

No one answered Sir Lockner's rant. The top floor of the tall tower located in the four corners of the City Lord's Mansion shone brightly, and the translucent beacon guardian light shield slowly descended, much weaker than when resisting the Chaos Storm, but for Sir Lochner, who knew the inside story, it was as if he had seen the end of his life.

"It's over, it's all over!"

The white-haired Sir Lockner was a dignified man who had been the captain of the Ranger for decades, and he always had an aura that seemed to be able to kill and kill, even if he was stripped of his position, this momentum did not disappear completely.

However, in front of the slowly descending beacon guard, the old man completely lost the will to resist, and slowly sat down with a dejected face, holding his head with both hands, and let out a long sigh.

Merlin Avery soon appeared beside Sir Lockner, glancing at the discouraged loser before turning his gaze to the sky. "Beacon Guardian...... It's a nuisance, lady Lyraya, and now we're all stuck with this thing, what do you think?"

Liraya Recoba's face was not good-looking, but she had regained her composure. "As far as I know, there's nothing good to do. As she spoke, she stretched out her hands, each fingertip emitting a ray of light, forming a small model of the City Lord's Mansion and the four towers between her hands. "The Beacon Guardian is a turtle shell that is difficult to pry open, and even if it gathers several times the strength of the guardian, it is difficult to forcibly destroy it...... Tenadir has set a bad example for us. ”

"Barbarians are barbarians, and they may have some talent in using brute force, but considering the delicate operation, it's a complete mess. Avery shook his head slightly, then turned to Gana Enlais with a eager face, "Please, go and test the strength of the Beacon Guard, be careful not to get hurt." ”

"Blackwing Death doesn't get hurt so easily. Gana Enlais replied without thinking, and then stretched out her arms, dozens of metal wings behind her back spread out, like a fallen angel descending on the earth.

The figure of Gana Enlais shot into the air like a black bolt of lightning, followed by a sharp and piercing hiss, followed by a series of air explosions, like a row of cannons fired by the Imperial Legion, which made the huge light shield over the City Lord's Mansion tremble violently. The terrifying sound wave spread in all directions, suppressing all the noise, so that everyone who remained in the City Lord's Mansion couldn't help but cover their ears tightly.

When the sound finally stopped, the black-winged god of death Gana Enlais fell from the sky with a face full of unfinished meaning, the black giant sword behind his back, and his clenched hands were trembling slightly. Although the huge light shield in the air had not been broken, it had already appeared with distinct faint streaks, and some areas seemed to be still flickering.

"It's sturdy, but it's nowhere near yesterday. While taking the alchemy potion handed by Avery, Gana Enlais commented with disdain, "It may be a bit difficult for me to break this thing alone, but with the help of three or two mentors, it is absolutely no problem to break through a gap." ”

"I see, Iron Master, no wonder you look so sure. Lyraya's somewhat heavy expression disappeared with the dimming of the Beacon Guardian, "Due to the lack of manpower, the Thorn Flower Family has been unable to really light up the Beacon Guardian, we are indeed trapped, but breaking the predicament is not something that cannot be done. ”

At the same moment, on the top floor of the tower on the west side of the Lord's Palace, Baron Edelman Brippes, whose face was slightly pale, was engaged in a life-and-death negotiation.

"You see, all the unrest has been wiped out, and if you eliminate these people, Coventry will be able to restore order to what it used to be. But...... After suffering so many manpower losses, there is no way for the current Thorn Flower to complete this matter alone. I beg your help in the name of the Archon of Coventry, Your Excellency, and the Thorn Flower will always remember your merits. ”

"The Thorn Flower should always remember the merits of the Iron Master. The man who had been pleaded replied in a cold tone, and he was tall, gray-haired, and imposing, and Avery would have blurted out in astonishment if he had seen it.

"President Heleland!"

The president of the Coventry Apothecary's Guild shouldn't have been here, as he had publicly claimed half a day earlier that he had received an order to return to the imperial capital immediately, and that he didn't even have time to attend the banquet to celebrate his victory.

Now it seems that it is indeed possible that he has received an order from the imperial capital, but the content is not what he claims.

"The General Organ's directive is to ask me to help you in any way I can, Lord Baron Edelman, but I didn't expect you to even be among the Iron Masters targeted for purging. Do you know how much he contributed to Coventry, and do you know how much help I received from him when I was promoted to Grandmaster?"

"I know, I know. Baron Edelman's tone was very calm, not in the slightest disturbed by President Heldland's almost roaring tone, "But Coventry does not need a hero with a higher prestige than the Thorn Flower, and the Imperial Capital does not want to see such an unstable and mysterious figure." Your Excellency President Herderland, Master Iron doesn't need your help, and your presence here doesn't mean that you agree with me?" )
