Chapter 356: Artetana, the God of Hunting
No crown city, South Artisan Street.
Bottomless pit exterior.
Monsters rushed out from the cracks torn open by the black flame body, and the regular army of the Lion Garden held on to the circular position, artillery fire and magic surging endlessly.
The Craftsman would put in more combat power than the day before, but the Lion Court Army that blocked it was always like a high wall, even though the city was chaotic several times due to the fierce fighting, and not even a single monster was actually leaked out.
Those who can fly can't either.
This was obviously not within the scope of the Craftsmen's Guild's plan, and it was repeatedly eliminated at the door, and it didn't even reach the edge of the city, which made most of the members a little angry.
At this moment, a purple crack suddenly opened in the air at the entrance of the mine, and three figures that fell out were wrapped in a cyan wind, stepping into the air wave and heading straight for the inside of the ruins.
The black armor beside Randall took a step forward for the first time since the start of the battle.
"No, you don't."
Randall reached out and stopped the armor.
He stood in front of the formation, his eyes sunken, and he smiled lowly.
"Let's see which way this wind will blow in the end."
β¦β¦
Bottomless pit, level 3.
Quickly passing through the relay point, the three of them maintained a tactical formation, and did not even touch a monster.
"Did you know in advance that the demon god wasn't afraid of teleportation?" Vimere held her staff and said quickly, "I didn't expect to come in so easily. β
"Of course, that guy is a second-level god no matter how he says it." Luo Wei responded.
Power is exile again, even if the strength may not be much restored, but the ability to face is the strength of that gentle guy.
There is also this consideration when going to the battleship rendezvous first, but it is Randall himself who is blocking the mine at the moment, and the breath he sensed from behind just now almost made him break out in a cold sweat at that moment.
Puppets of the Old Gods.
Rowe knew that with this thing on Randall's side, it was never a good idea to sneak in head-on. Not to mention negotiations, he never trusted Randall to be an ally.
Therefore, this is the best way to ensure that there are no surprises.
If there is any flaw, it is probably that before coming over, he was rushed up and bitten by the princess and the little ghost, as if telling him that it was the limit of her patience. After finishing the work, I am afraid that I will not have him to eat the good fruit.
"The end of the front, the road to the next level." Ayining stepped out of the waves, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.
"Maintain your position as soon as you can, and continue to speed up if you can," Luo Wei retracted his thoughts and said calmly, "Don't let your guard down, there are still 126 floors ahead." β
"Got it, got it!" Vimere replied seriously, "I probably remember the route, leave it to me!" β
Although there is one less person than originally planned.
But Luo Wei and Vimir remember the general route, and Ayining can use qi sense, and the three of them have to run the fastest route.
Just hold on a little longer.
We'll be there soon, Artetana.
β¦β¦
Silent courtyard.
The empty courtyard echoed and collided, and the monster horde slammed into the defense of the courtyard front.
Then the green bow fell solemnly, piercing through the backlog of threats on the front line.
"Evoke the wind and the grassβ"
"The arrows of the fetal guard!"
Arttana stood on the steps with her bow in her hand, a heavy bow nearly a man tall held firmly in her hand, and the bow burst out with a cyan glow.
Sudden β
In the sound of breaking through the air, the arrows landed on the ground and formed a grass, and the stone tablet engraved with the ancient beast script broke through the ground, spontaneously releasing cyan light arrows through the monster.
There were five more steles like this, all of which were formed behind the Legion front, and the craftsmen would be powerless at all.
The battle was scorched by the continuous demise of the monsters, and even if it was reluctant, the Craftsmen would have to withdraw their attack once more.
"It's harder than you think."
The leading members of the Artisan Guild looked at Artetana coldly, considering that there was such an existence, they had invested not a lot of troops.
Even if no one thought that the strength of the gods stationed in the rear would be weak, the process of the battle was completely led by the other party.
And even the trickiest thing is not this.
"You guys, don't you really think about giving up resistance? It should be obvious that the strength we have put in us is increasing, now lay down our weapons, we can let you go. β
ββ¦β¦β
The courtyard exploration team did not waver.
But since the official start of the war with a tearing face, it is also a fact that the offensive has been more and more fierce in waves, and you can clearly feel the determination of the other party to take here.
"The promises you made don't make sense."
Athetana stood there, her voice as if there was some calming power in her voice.
She said slowly: "Teleportation is forbidden and contact with the outside world is lost, even if you fulfill the agreement, they can only go out all the way up the courtyard, and most people can't hold on to this far." β
"I just need the others to stand up, not to resist, and to leave that god!"
The artisan would shout with a threatening tone in his tone.
They had already declared that there would be help that this group of people would not be able to resist, but they didn't want to continue to drag on here.
Athetana was indifferent.
"Their comrades-in-arms may still be fighting your goddess, struggling to support them on the front lines, but you let them give up in the rear." She closed her eyes, then opened them and aimed her bow at the other party, "The Lion Garden and the Hoof Fire are your enemies, the forces around the Crownless City are your enemies, and even the Lan Temple is your enemy, even if you ignore the possibility of you breaking your promise, betraying here is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the whole situation." β
"Huh...!"
That's the trickiest part of the pack.
Her ability to dominate is so strong that it even makes people question why she did not serve as a commander on the Northern Front, but instead nested in this small courtyard.
Obviously, none of the people who stayed here could be regarded as the main combat force of the Alliance Army, but under her facilitation, they became like a monolith, and they couldn't gnaw it down.
"Very well, then you just wait!"
The craftsmen would retreat from the front, not that they really wanted to retreat, but if they continued to stay here, the confrontation.
will be shot to death.
Seeing the enemy retreat beyond the danger range, the legion side also breathed a sigh of relief, and then, as if there was a tacit understanding, the soldiers looked behind them.
Soon a girl's voice was heard loudly:
"Whew-"
Belil stood at the door of the workshop and waved vigorously.
"Bring the wounded to me, and those who need water and food go to the tree to find my companions! Those who stay behind don't have to worry, we'll deliver the food later! β
In addition to her, the other orc girls who remained in the workshop also actively served as logistics, guiding the legion to rest and replenish.
For the members of the exploration team, although they had seen some free-moving orcs in the Crownless City, these girls in front of them seemed to be different from the ones they had seen, and the meticulous care suddenly made people feel that they with beast ears and tails were like healing angels, and even on the front line, they began to look forward to the next moment of rest.
The Artisans' Guild doesn't have this treatment.
I could only sit there with my head down, listening to the intermittent greetings and encouragement from afar, and I wanted to crush my teeth.
Everyone in the legion was able to rest at this time, and after Belil had treated the wounded with potions, she also took food and water to Atheana.
"Mother Goddess, take a break, I'll leave it to me."
"No," Artetana just sat down, "Belil has been busy, so it's better to relax now." β
"I don't need to~" Belier crossed her calves and pointed to the tight-fitting clothes on her body, "I wore this outfit for the best employee commendation, I don't know if Luo Wei made Ke Qian emphasize something when he made it, as long as I wear it, I feel full of energy, and my strength seems to never run out." β
ββ¦β¦β
Arttana pursed her lips slightly, and involuntarily covered her hand in the place where the divine power mark had disappeared.
She hadn't told Belle about them yet.
Regardless of the outcome of this dispute, there is only one thing she must do right now, and that is to fulfill her duty as a mother goddess and protect them.
At least compared to the past, she can fight for it now, can't she......
"Mother Goddess, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay......" Arttana stroked Belil's hair with a soft gaze, "If you don't want to rest, can you go and check the stock of supplies in the workshop?" β
"Of course, leave it to me~"
ββ¦β¦β
It seems that realizing that there is no way to break through the front line of the courtyard, the craftsmen will not organize another attack for a long time this time.
The corps had more time to rest.
Some people even joked that compared to the battle outside, it would be their group of people who held the line. After all, many of them went down to guard the courtyard in a fit of anger because they were not selected into the main force, and they were still unwilling and resentful in their hearts.
There are gods who personally protect them, they just need to keep their positions, and look at the orc girls in their spare time, should they eat and drink, and there is such a way to save the world?
Of course, touching the tail is forbidden.
The orc girl named Belier emphasized this point in a righteous and strict manner at the beginning, which was a slightly strong statement, which attracted many people who were not interested in it and couldn't help but be a little curious.
But when I think that they are all related to that Rowe Brooke, I think it's better to forget it......
Almost every person in the courtyard had to listen to the story of Marcus taking people out of the meeting and pinching their heads.
They don't want to be the next one.
In addition, there is nothing to complain about at the moment, considering that there is only one god in the frontal battlefield, Marcus. And being blessed by Marcus is unimaginable, that guy will most likely just accidentally pinch your head in the process of rushing forward.
And this one in the courtyard did not hesitate to let them play a strength that they usually don't have.
ββ¦β¦β
After a commotion, a large group of people poured out of the passage behind the craftsmen's meeting, carrying a lot of war equipment.
This is probably what they call "reinforcements".
The squads of the Legion suddenly came to their senses and stood up one after another, but Arttana remained seated, her eyes closed and unmoved.
"Why haven't you taken it yet?!" The new artisan cadres are a little loud.
The man being questioned glanced in the direction of the steps, then pulled the other aside and whispered a whisper.
But this is within the realm of the Beast God.
Since the change of ownership of the courtyard, Artetana has been in control of this place, so she can set foot in the space of the relics of the divine war and provide support to Luo Wei and them from a distance.
Naturally, I can hear their conversations.
"Are you sure? Sending so many black flame bodies can't tear through their defenses? β
"Believe me, there's nothing we can do unless we get rid of that God."
"But now it's even more difficult up there, and the Lion Court Army has completely blocked us at the entrance to the pit. The second seat of Aruma has given us the greatest support, and the monsters we store are not infinite, and if this continues, you and I will not be able to explain it. β
ββ¦β¦β
Athetana listened quietly to their conversation, analyzing the corresponding information.
If the Craftsmen's Guild had already begun to send troops to the Uncrowned City, it would mean that the war in the north might not be in their favor, and the actions of the Mechanic Goddess had not yielded the desired results.
So in the end, it still won.
Even though...... Paid that price.
"That's all I can do, and in order to make sure I take the courtyard, I'll just use "that."
"Are you crazy...... Aruma said that this was a last resort, and we would all die here...! β
"If you can't take it down, it's death, do you doubt that Erxi won't turn us into a black flame body?"
ββ¦β¦ Got it. β
They finished talking.
Athetana still had her eyes closed, and the two sides faced off again.
The Craftsmen's Guild brought in a much larger number of people this time than last time, and also brought various siege equipment, including magic cannons, and almost everyone in the legion had a hunch that it would be a tough battle.
But there is nothing to fear when you think that if you are injured and have an orc girl to take care of you, as long as you don't die, you can quickly return to the battlefield.
"Attack." The new leader coldly issued an order, and the bodies of more than a dozen blindfolded people behind him suddenly swelled, and they immediately turned into black flame bodies.
No matter how many times you watch it, this scene feels a little shocking.
Artetana slowly stood up at this moment, holding the big bow with one hand as always, and the morale of the army on the defensive line immediately stabilized.
Yes.
The squads believed that as long as the god was still there, they could not fail.
The cracks were torn open, the monsters scrambled out, and the courtyard spread with an otherworldly aura, silting up in the air.
The charge is about to begin.
The leaders of the Artisan Guild held their arms and looked coldly, they had to wait for the god to show his abilities before they eliminated it in one fell swoop.
Artetana then raised her bow high and pointed it diagonally into the sky.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
What she wanted to do.
Athetana opened her eyes coldly, the content of the previous conversation of the Craftsmen's Guild was quite informative, but after hearing the last words, she dispelled the idea of exposing the other party in person.
This will let the other person know that she heard.
The wind surged around her, blowing her long straw-like light green hair violently, raising the light veil and skirt of her cuffs, and the blue skin was covered with a faint glow, doubly bewitching and wild.
Beasts are gods.
Gods are beasts.
The radiance of God condensed on the bowstring, and Artetana's eyes began to meditate:
"With my divine power, I will recite the protection of the bow and arrow."
"Break through this endβ"
"Slaughter, Hunting Heavenly Treasure Shot!"
Gun β
The bowstring popped into the air, and the arrows flew high above the courtyard, and almost everyone raised their heads in unison.
The next moment, countless arrows of light fell.
They can't be called arrows at all, each one is more than a man tall, and it resembles a spear more than an arrow.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Several of the leaders of the Artisan Guild suddenly took a step back, but soon they realized that they shouldn't have stopped.
Because the dense rain of arrows like a sea of cyan light was clearly aimed at them standing here!
Knock knockββ!!!
The rain of arrows rained down on the back of the Craftsmen's Battle Formation like a bombardment, and the vision was overwhelmed in an instant, and the dense movement and rain crashed to the floor like a roar.
The black flame body that tore open the crack didn't even come out, and it was pressed back by the overwhelming blow, and it was drowned in a green man, along with those attacking equipment that did not play any role.
The courtyard was shaking, and the rain of arrows continued to fall.
Humanity dares to challenge the fate of the gods.
The Legion, too, quickly dealt with the monsters that were in the lead, as they had no follow-up, and the follow-up troops were all overwhelmed by arrows.
"Listen to meβ"
Artetana opened her mouth to interrupt the silence of the crowd.
Although she stopped the opponent before he could use his hole cards, there was no doubt that the enemy would not stop there, and that there was something hidden here that was their key.
The squads looked at her.
But now the eyes that look at her are full of respect for the gods. Even if he has always shown tenderness and love, when it comes to really showing his divine power, this strength cannot help but make people awe-inspired.
And at this moment, at the passage to the upper and lower levels, a group of people came out of the portal almost at the same time-
All three sides were stunned.
Legion: "? β
Artisans will: "? β
Luo Wei: "......? β
The scene was silent for a moment, and before the legion and the newly arrived craftsmen could understand the situation, they saw the girl with dark blond hair in the trio running down the stairs above.
"Woo woo ......!"
She made a very abrupt sound as she ran.
Then, under the bewildered gaze of everyone, he ran past the legion and crashed into the arms of Artetana, who was stunned there.
Rowe stood above and sighed with a smile.
They seem to have arrived a little early.
