Chapter 46: The Ming Yuan (19)
As Lu Zhongyi's order was quickly conveyed, the officers and men of the expeditionary force showed a discipline unique to the army, and the troops around Mingyuan Island immediately shrank inside, and all the soldiers quickly lowered their altitude. At the same time, it maintains a kind of vigilance that is characteristic of a team that has been around for a long time. On the battlefield, knowing things is not terrible, because knowing, there will always be a way to solve it, but unknown things are easy to cause people unnecessary panic, because they are unknown, so there is no countermeasure, and in order to find a countermeasure, it needs to consume a certain amount of personnel, and before finding a countermeasure, it often means that you need to pay a big price, which is where they are really terrifying.
Qin Zhen is a metallic sage, but also a Jindan monk, for him, the original life is just boring to teach a few children in his hometown, let them work hard to cultivate, and have a good future, where do you know that one day, when he was wandering, he actually saw an expeditionary force conscription revelation posted on the street, so the benevolent brother who had a convulsion in his head in an instant was also enthusiastic, so he said goodbye to his hometown father, and came to Binhai City alone, from a metallic sage to a metallic Jindan monk, until now, he didn't know why he had convulsions at that time, and this convulsions were right or wrong, but whether it's right or wrong, now he can only look forward, because even if it is impulsive, it is his choice.
At this time, he was standing on top of a flying sword, looking at the sea in front of him, he belonged to the outermost group, and he was also the leader of the team.
"Captain. Why should we go back?" asked a Sage, a question that was on everyone's mind. Why is this happening? The demons stopped playing self-destructing, the fighting stopped, and they retreated.
"I don't know, this is the above arrangement, we can implement it. Be on full alert, no matter what, you can't go wrong. Qin Zhen said. It's an old-fashioned language, and that's what his personality dictates.
"Well, it's just that I don't say a single reason for it. It's really a bit brainless, and it's just uncomfortable to think about. A little soldier Xiao Yiran also said the same.
"That's true, the most feared thing about fighting a war is this kind of battle without intelligence, and no one knows what the enemy wants to do next. It's really hard to calm down!" the other creature complained. This is also a fact, when fighting, people's spirits are concentrated in the battle itself, and there are already many so-called psychological burdens and other things, but it is the most difficult to endure in this kind of waiting.
It's just that at this time, suddenly there was a wave of magic fluctuations in front of me, and it was only a little bit at first, but. As time goes back, the magic fluctuates more and more. There is even more of a tendency to confuse.
"I finally know what it is now!" Qin Zhen sighed, the situation he least wanted to see appeared, and it seemed to be very big, thinking that the other party was trying his best to create such an environment.
"What's the situation, captain!" Xiao Yiran was just a seventh-level swordsman, his sense was not as strong as Qin Zhen's, and he saw that the captain's face had changed somewhat, so he subconsciously felt a bad feeling.
"The enemy may have adopted a method to restrict our flight above the sky!" Qin Zhen said in a deep voice.
"What method, if there were, they should have been taken out a long time ago?" Xiao Yiran muttered. When the battle came to this point, almost all the devil's hole cards were pulled out, and there were not a few.
"Don't guess so much, they must have something restricted, otherwise they would have blown us up a long time ago, where would this kind of thing happen. Qin Zhen said.
"Well, the power of self-explosion in the magic ban is very small, because once they self-detonate, it is not only as simple as triggering their own energy, but also has greater lethality with the fluctuations of the surrounding elements, but in the magic ban, the self-explosion is completely suppressed in the body, that is to say, at this time, they self-detonate, they can only self-destruct, and they have no effect on others, that is to say, these are two completely different magic, and they cannot coexist. One of the sages on the side, Wang Zhiyi, said that he was originally a magician, so he knew these things very clearly. Because the magic ban is equivalent to imprisoning the effect of magic, so that those magic powers can only run in the body, but cannot be output, and self-explosion is the use of magic power, rushing out of the body in an instant, and exploding the whole self to form lethality. However, you must know that it is a demon forbidden area outside, which means that magic and things like fighting qi and mana don't work, even god-level magic doesn't work very well, otherwise it won't be called a demon forbidden. Because in the final analysis, the elements inside have rioted so much that there is no way to use and suppress the magic mana and fighting energy, so there is such a thing as a demon forbidden.
"If that's the case, we don't have to worry about them blowing themselves up?" Xiao Yiran asked cautiously, this is a matter of life, and we can't be careless.
"That's not all, some people can still blow themselves up in it, and demons must be the same, but it's much less powerful, as long as you stay away from them, there's nothing to do. Wang Zhiyi said.
"After all, be careful!" Qin Zhen said, and suddenly his face changed a little, because the other party's demon forbidden area was actually moving to this side, which meant that the other party wanted to create an extremely huge demon forbidden area!
"Descend, descend, stand above the water, hurry, hurry. Qin Zhen hurriedly shouted, and after he finished speaking, he looked left and right, urging those soldiers to descend above the sea, the others didn't know what was going on, but out of the duty of soldiers, they all chose to obey. As soon as the entire team led by Qin Zhen descended, and the other teams had already descended to the surface of the sea, at this time, it showed the importance of the several compulsory subjects prescribed by Kong Ming. Practicing flying swords allows them to fly freely above the sky, while practicing treading the sea gives them more security of survival above the sea in various situations.
"Captain, can you step on the surface of the sea in the Demon Forbidden?" Xiao Yiran asked again. It's a matter of life.
"You have to ask Lao Wang about this, he is an expert in this area. Qin Zhen said.
"Old Wang, what is the situation?" Xiao Yiran turned to Wang Zhiyi and asked.
"We are standing above the sea. Communication with the sea, in a way, is just a continuation of the inner magic, so it will not be forbidden by the magic ban, you can rest assured that this is on the line, now that I think about it, I must know that the enemy is going to take such a measure. So let's get down to the surface of the sea in advance, and there will be plenty of time to deal with it. Wang Zhiyi said.
Hearing this, Qin Zhen really felt how wise the decision was. After all, without this order, it would be very difficult to come down from above and then gather defense.
"Captain, order from above, all personnel immediately return to Mingyuan Island!" said a signal soldier.
"Okay, let's withdraw immediately!" Qin Zhen hurriedly ordered. Then he followed the order and took the team directly back to Mingyuan Island. At this time, Mingyuan Island was already overcrowded. Arguably. If the enemy comes to a magic star torrent again, he can directly kill a lot of expeditionary soldiers. More than 30 square kilometers of land, it really can't accommodate so many people, many teams who have just returned from the front line are directly teleported back to Green Island, after all, they have also fought for a long time, spiritual power and spiritual power are very tired, and if they continue to fight, it will have a great impact on them, but Qin Zhen, who has just come from Green Island, is much better. This is also one reason why they appear on the periphery, because they are a new force.
And so it was. The two teams once again returned to the state of confrontation before the battle, the difference is that now the hole cards of the expeditionary force have not been revealed, and the demons already have some feelings of lack of skills, after all, their gods have been destroyed a lot. The real decisive force is gone, and now it may be that the low-level demons below the expeditionary force are thinking of giving heavy damage to the expeditionary force, in this way, the next battle will be a little easier, after all, for the demons, the demons have, they are not afraid at all, but the warriors in the expeditionary force need to be cultivated, this is a long-term process.
"Commander, if we withdraw people, the commander won't have any ideas, right?" a staff officer kindly reminded Lu Zhongyi.
"No, if he doesn't pull back, maybe he will really come to me for trouble, for the commander, human life is more important than territory. Lu Zhongyi sighed, sometimes he really didn't understand why Kong Ming would be like this, obviously a choke point like Mingyuan Island can be guarded, even if it takes more effort to defend it, but Kong Ming is more concerned about casualties, and even in order to reduce casualties, it doesn't matter if he loses Mingyuan Island, which is why from the battle to the present, Lu Zhongyi has particularly emphasized that the wounded, whether he is slightly injured or seriously injured, must be sent back to Green Island for treatment, and the army on the entire island is also rotated as much as possible to avoid large-scale casualties。 The sea trip was not far away, and the situation was very similar to the present, and he didn't want to fill the lives of these soldiers in this indifferent place.
When all the soldiers of the expeditionary force returned to Mingyuan Island, from the sea around Mingyuan Island, there was a tall giant ring that was visible to the naked eye, and slowly approached the entire Mingyuan Island, in which there were constant chaotic fluctuations of various magic, this is the magic ban, it can be formed by the magic array, it can also be formed by many magic attacks, the difference is that the magic ban formed by the magic array is not visible, only in it can be felt, and the magic attack formed is a kind of magic ban formed by using the magic carried by more than this side of the world, and its duration depends on the situationIf you keep performing similar magic attacks, it will last longer, and vice versa. Now the demons are obviously using the second method, in other words, they need to use a part of the demons for constant magic attacks, and this attack has no way to hurt people, their only role is the magic forbidden, the mana of anything fixed in it, Magic and all things that use energy, including spiritual energy, can only be used in this case, the most primitive and bloody way to fight, and the demon's body has always been a strong point, and now it depends on the next battle.
Time passed moment by moment, and the demon did not come until now. And the area of the Demon Forbidden is obviously getting bigger and bigger, getting higher and higher, Lu Zhongyi looked at it and frowned.
"Order the 3rd Division of the 5th Army. Now immediately take off from the sky above Mingyuan Island, bypass the Demon Forbidden Zone, and attack the demons behind the demons who are supporting the Demon Forbidden. Lu Zhongyi ordered, waiting is not the way, once the demons surround Mingyuan Island layer by layer, and then continue to cast the demon forbidden, although the magic array is still effective in this situation. But it also takes a lot of energy to deal with the demon ban, and this is limited to self-preservation, so don't even think about anything else. The other one has a magic ban there, and the magic crystal cannon is also directly abolished, only physical attacks such as bows and arrows still have some effects, and energy attacks are abolished immediately when they enter the magic ban. So at this time, we must find a way to break the enemy's ban. Put the skies of the battlefield back under the control of the Expeditionary Force.
"Commander. Isn't the number of people in a division too small, after all, they need to face all the demons!" a staff officer asked.
"This is just the first one, what we need to see now is how the demons deal with the attack of the third division, and find a way to deal with the enemy. Lu Zhongyi replied, this is also a matter of no way, if too much is released at once, the enemy directly comes to a huge magic ban, then the entire expeditionary force will be harmed, because the magic ban only needs enough magic attacks to form a magic ban. And no matter how many magic attacks are added later, it will become the support for the magic ban, and let the magic ban continue to expand outward. It will not form an attack, so once the expeditionary force soldiers enter the enemy's rear on a large scale, the enemy can form a magic ban at any time through a large-scale attack, so that the expeditionary force has no place in the sky. Now a division, more than 100,000 people, although it is not much, but it is also used as a tentative attack, after all, the ship is small and easy to turn around, and it takes a time to form a demon forbidden, and this time can be completely detached for them.
When the third division followed the order, it flew directly into the sky from the sky above Mingyuan Island, and then bypassed the demon ban from above the sky. Flying in the direction of the enemy, and at this time they can only fly high in the air, no matter what, they don't dare to go down directly, after all, although the magic forbidden formed by the enemy takes time, but the previous magic attack is also very powerful, so people don't dare to go down directly.
"Captain, what now?" Xiao Yiran asked, their team also belonged to the Third Division, so Qin Zhen and Wang Zhiyi both came.
Looking at the dense demons below, even if you are high in the air, the enemy's magic and all the attacks can't hit it, but looking at it like this is a thing that makes your scalp tingle. There are 10,000 people who are boundless, not to mention this already boundless demon.
"Well, our mission is to make a tentative attack and find an effective way to effectively contain the enemy's magic forbidden, so you can attack directly above the sky, and you don't have to go down. Qin Zhen said, this is also a matter of no way, everyone is facing this situation for the first time, although hand-to-hand combat can be carried out on the sea, but above the sky, this qiē is not easy to say.
"I don't think it's like this, so we will perform magical attacks on our enemies from high in the sky, constantly testing their reality from near to far. Wang Zhiyi said, as a former magician, he has always believed that long-range attacks are the world of magic, even now that he has become a monk, but this spirit can not be changed in a day or two.
"Well, this is a solution, after all, above such a high sky, our swordsmanship has no way to attack, and only magic. It's just that where is it better?" Qin Zhen said, this is a key question, placed in the forbidden place, it is equivalent to the enemy, and placed on the demons behind, it has no effect, you must know that the demons are endless, and on those demons who are supporting the demon forbidden, it should be the most appropriate, however, the magic fluctuation there is too large, and the effect of magic must be reduced a lot.
The dark clouds of the great battle once again shrouded the sky over Mingyuan Island, but after a few hours of pause, the demon's formation changed again, giving the soldiers of the expeditionary force a more urgent feeling.
"Captain, I don't think it's better to forget it like this, let's put a magic on the edge of the enemy's forbidden spell first, and then put a magic on the heads of the demons whose enemies cast the forbidden spell, and then put a magic on the heads of the demons further behind, so that the three magic can be better displayed when compared together?" Xiao Yiran said.
"You nerd, do you think this is in magic and can be played again and again, now we have to find the most advantageous place to make a tentative attack. Well, it's also a good idea to attack with a tentative attack first. Qin Zhen scolded with a smile, anyway, there are no demons in the sky now, and they fly high, they have already broken away from the edge of the demon forbidden, and there is enough time to conduct the corresponding experiment, and this is actually what Lu Zhongyi meant, the third division is to open a way to deal with the enemy's demon forbidden, after all, this is also the first time they have seen the use of the demon forbidden in large-scale battles, in the war, the reason why the accumulation of experience is important is that in the face of various different environments, there must be corresponding adaptability, otherwise, it is like a person carrying money in the endless desert, money has become a drag on him, no matter how much it is useless。
"It's really reluctant!" After Wang Zhi saw Qin Zhen signaling to him, he reluctantly took out a god-level magic scroll from the space ring, which was something that the expeditionary force equipped for every saint-level magician, which was used in battle. This kind of thing is not very useful in this kind of large-scale battle, but in a small range of battles, it can play a role in turning the tide of the battle, obviously in this kind of battle its role is very small, so Wang Zhiyi is really a little reluctant, although there are more than a dozen such things in his ring.
"Look at the demons there? Those demons standing there seem to be demons that are casting a ban, put one there and take a look. Qin Zhen said, as a team member and a sage, his vision was obviously sharper than others.
"Well, that's right, the demons there are working their magic, and that's when they're at their most vulnerable. Wang Zhiyi said, this is the experience of magicians. Then he directly tore a wind-based magic scroll, above the sea, the wind and water magic are the most powerful, because the wind magic is used to roll up the sea water in the sea, and the roll of the sea water makes the magic more powerful, which also contains the sharp wind blade, which can become the enemy's nightmare.
I saw that more than 1,000 meters in front of the team, a huge tornado appeared out of thin air, the diameter of the tornado wind directly reached more than 200 meters, and the huge wind directly rolled up the demons on the entire sea surface and threw them into the air, many demons were killed directly in the tornado, and there were some very powerful demons who survived in it, but they were also injured. The tornado that appeared out of thin air caused the demon's team to go crazy for a while, but because the whole demon was huddled together, they had no way to escape, so they had to resign themselves to fate, and the result was that when the tornado blew there, the demons there were emptied, and there was no room for resistance. The tornado raged above the sea for more than ten minutes, and the demon in front of them was also cleared of a long blank space, but what made them disappointed was that the demon forbidden had not changed at all.
"Those demons who cast magic have all been killed, why doesn't the demon ban feel a little loose?" Qin Zhen asked, this is not quite in line with speculation.
"Maybe I should know what the problem is!" Wang Zhiyi said carefully, his face was very stern, as if the problem was very important.
"Where?" Xiao Yiran hurriedly asked on the side.
"Because the magic ban is an uncontrollable magic, and it is also a kind of magic that can absorb external magic and become more powerful, once the magic ban is successfully cast, then in the absence of external forces, they may always be there, in other words, unless we have someone here who can defeat the magic ban, otherwise, the magic ban will not stop. Wang Zhiyi guessed.
"You're wrong, the Demon Forbidden is not that kind of magic, and the reason why it hasn't moved now is because there are too many demons, and the number of them supporting the Demon Forbidden is extremely large, so it's impossible to see the effect of eliminating a part, after all, the Demon Forbidden is already connected to this whole. Qin Zhen said that although he did not study magic, he still had a foundation for this. (To be continued......)
