Chapter 79: Song of the Blade

"This is an unprecedented counterattack." The King of the Sand Thieves wiped the blood from his yellow beard, "a vast army of undead manipulators, assassins, Tocharian mercenaries, and Tantuha forces, this is the wrath of Jerizavitan...... In order to prevent them from finding Princess Catherina, I and seven companions drew the enemy's attention with the 'Wind of Bactria', shifted the battlefield to the vicinity of Namoza, and rejected the offer of Felix Schleichert, commander of the royal guards, to call all the Zawi people to resist. I know that the endless struggle must be brought to an end. Now, just outside the lines of his allies, Ephrana, the Lord of the Undead and the First Undead Manipulator, is gathering all the undead warriors to prepare for the final assault. For this attack, Jerizavitan quietly prepared for ten years, transporting men from Cherry Ferry, hiring Assassin and Tocharian soldiers, developing indigenous armed forces, and convincing the Lord of the Dead himself to lead the army. ”

Behind the picture came a high-pitched and piercing howl, the wail of the destroyed soul of the undead of Yagu, and the three young men were no strangers to it.

The Admiral glanced back, "Endless undead warriors." There are no holy mages and priests among us, and we will eventually run out of strength in the face of 3,000 indestructible warriors. Wouldn't it be nice if my battleships could sail the endless sandy seas as well...... Erlan has already begun to prepare the Forbidden Star Array 'Blade Resonance Chamber', and he will completely smash the entire battlefield at the cost of his life. ”

"I—I know!" Hannah's gray-green eyes widened, "the year Dad died, there was a strange explosion outside the city of Namoza, and that was the trace of their battle!"

The astrologer's apprentice said in a trembling voice, "I know that forbidden star array...... In the astrology books, there was a terrifying record of an astrologer who launched a 'blade resonance chamber' to destroy the city, and it is extremely rare for an astrologer to master the energy of 25-85 pairs of astral lines with the characteristics of 'sound waves', but I didn't expect Lord Daultrell to be a user of the forbidden star array......"

The previous head of the family looked at the dagger embedded in his severed hand and laughed mockingly, "But there is good news. Upon the arrival of Jerizavitan's troops, Princess Catherina announced that I would be relieved of the status of Guardian of the Treasure, that she would give me and seven companions the remaining wealth, and that we should refrain from fighting and go to Tocharian to hide from the enemy. I'm a Monopoly Hannah, Danny, hahaha...... Give me ten years, and I will be able to rebuild the battleship fleet in the Endless Sand Sea and restore the glory of the Imperial Navy, if only the princess had made this decision sooner......"

"Boom!"

A hurricane suddenly set off around the Sand Pirate King, blowing down the canopy above his head, and it turned out that when this message was recorded, Finn Stewart was in a rudimentary tent, the hood was blown down, and the strong desert sun made him squint, "What's the matter, Leohhard?"

A short, fat, balding, white-bearded old man walked into the frame and raised his hand to the distance: "They are getting closer and closer." Solomon began to unleash the Blood Sacrifice Kinetic Force, and you know, once he fired, he couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe. Plus, the last magic crystal only lasts a few minutes, so you'll have to make a decision early. ”

"Uncle Navigator!" Danny called out as he sat up straight and didn't know where he got his strength.

"I've already decided, Leohhard. Stewart smiled, "Here, say hello to my kids." ”

The white-bearded old man walked up to the admiral and stood very awkwardly, his expression a little shy: "Hannah, Danny, I'm Uncle Navigator." Well, how are you? I wonder how old you are...... My real name is Leohard Hefzbach, an enchanted weaponist. Summer White Sakura is my last proud work, after the information array self-destructs, it will regain some of its functions, but there is another secret you don't know: the big gun 'Lame Henry's Prosthetic', the magic pistol 'Summer White Sakura', and the dagger 'Blood Dragon Scroll' were originally three parts of a weapon, and they can somehow be combined to become a real weapon of incredible power. This weapon is a symbol of the friendship between me, Henry the Steam Puppeteer, and Laziot the Old Blacksmith, and I hope you will be able to regain its true form. ...... Well, goodbye. ”

A reddish tornado tore through the sky like a spinning knife, and the two middle-aged men glanced up and nodded in unison. The King of the Sand Thieves said, "Well, this is your sail sailor uncle, the Blood Sacrifice Warlock Thor?Solomon, he doesn't know anything when he goes crazy, and he is a very difficult companion to trust...... So, let's talk about it, Erlan still needs a few minutes to prepare the Forbidden Star Array, and we also have to fight to buy him a little time. Is there anything else you want to say, Leo?"

The Enchanted Weapon Master thought for a moment, "Yes. It's a very strange thing...... Since coming into contact with the enemy three days ago, the abilities of several of us have been limited to varying degrees, which is both like a curse and some kind of poison, which does not affect the normal function of the human body, but greatly reduces the energy of the spiritual pool, hinders the elemental induction, and makes it impossible for us to exert our full strength. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying. The Admiral wielded his dagger from side to side, the blade whizzing through the air, "I am a warrior, a musketeer, and an outlaw—don't look at me, I have only half an arm. However, Erlan also said that he couldn't use any high-level star arrays other than the forbidden star array. ”

Hefzbach said with a stern face: "What I want to say is, Stewart, there is a traitor among us. ”

"I've thought of it a long time ago. The King of the Sand Thieves narrowed his gray-green eyes, "But I choose not to believe it." Philip has died under the dark magic of the Lord of the Dead, Erran is preparing to sacrifice his life, Mykonos, Solomon, and David are battling their enemies, Uglyface is on an important mission and ready to go, and you and I are here to say goodbye to the children—which old fellow would you like to suspect?"

A dark shadow jumped up behind the head of the Stewart family, "Be careful!" Hannah couldn't help but shout, knowing that it was the phantom of her deceased father.

"Forget it. Hefzbach sighed softly, "You're going to stay, right, that's your decision." ”

"That's right, the Lord of the Undead is a cunning fellow, and I have to pester him. As for you, you should leave now. The King of the Sand Thieves patted his old friend on the shoulder.

No one paid attention to the sneak attack of the Yagu undead, and as soon as the blade of the man in black was raised, dazzling electric sparks lit up all over his body, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and the green smoke rose and turned into a shriveled shell. The defensive circle set up by the master of enchanted weapons worked, and Hefzbach glanced back, "Can't stop it, they're rushing up." ”

Another gust of wind blew the collapsed tent away, and the entire battlefield spread out in front of the three young men. The black outline of the city of Namoza can be faintly seen on the skyline, and the gentle sand dunes are embedded with towering columnar rocks, and the unique landscape provides a shelter for the sailors of the "Winds of Bactria", but the overwhelming number of black-clad warriors has filled every gap in the battlefield from all sides, and the ranks of the Yagu undead are mixed with Tocharian mercenaries armed with swords and spears, and the indigenous warriors of Tantuha who blow out dangerous green arrows, A shadow assassin who flowed like a shadow through the cracks of people, Ephrah, the Lord of the Dead, walked through the ranks wearing black robes and wielding twin swords, his eyes burning with green ghostly fire.

Saul Solomon's hands spewed out sharp red pillars of wind, cutting the crowd in half like a pair of scissors, and on his left hand, fourteen tall cacti were violently erupting with spikes, like fourteen machine guns fired continuously, and the staff of David Hengel, the seventh-level plant-based great magician, was wrapped in red poison ivy, and the vines that emerged from the ground pulled one after another from the sharp thorns of the enemy into the ground, and a dull wail came from the depths of the yellow sand. On the right hand side of the Blood Sacrifice Warlock, Grandmaster Fist Mykonos was shrouded in a white light curtain, and with every punch and kick, he could completely crush an undead warrior, but from his rapid gasps, it was clear that this kind of fighting was extremely expensive and could not last.

Behind the three companions, a tall man dressed in sailor's attire was kneeling on the ground, his hands pressed on the massive forbidden star array, and his eyes closed and reciting the proverbs of the first astrology teacher. The "Blade Resonance Chamber" star array was carved on a flat granite slab, and the lines were covered with red-hot brass juice, and I don't know how the eighth-level astrologer melted the copper block.

"Everything in the world is a projection of the stars on the zodiac, and we live, have, communicate, genetic, create, manage, share, change, transcend, realize, communicate, and introspect, all of which are viewed from the stars. In awe, always look up. Please lend me the power of the starry sky. ”

This prayer was all too familiar to Jonah. Through the magical images, the astrologer could vaguely feel the earth-destroying star energy in Erlan Datrel's hands, and the humming vibration caused the sand on the slab to dance with it, and Jonah felt the ear begin to tingle, like some inaudible sound wave piercing through the eardrum. He didn't care about covering his ears, but held his breath, greedily observing the astrologer's every move, the incomparably delicate lines on the stone slab were something he had never seen in his life, every connection and turn showed the great strength of the eighth-level astrologer, and the entire star array was full of unearthly beauty and also contained deep philosophy.

The interstellar line between the fifth star of the second house "Bull" and the fifth star of the eighth house "Stream" is characterized by "sound waves, transmission and resonance", which is one of the most difficult to perceive the starline, throughout the history of astrology, there are no more than ten astrologers who can master this pair of stars, and there are only Erran Dantrier who can use the forbidden star array, except for the predecessor in the book who was exiled by the association for destroying the entire city in his own anger.
