317 Altar
The sudden burst of fire from the fortress attracted the attention of the wolves, and while the attention of the other party was all attracted to it, Liang En and the others quickly rushed across the strait towards the location of the previous reconnaissance.
When Liang En and the others crossed the strait, the originally hidden enemy finally couldn't hold back and jumped out, and in just a moment, Liang En saw many strange big birds flying out of the jungle.
These large birds are white with wings spread about 1 meter, and they look like some kind of large water birds, but when they get closer, Liang En and Ao Lei find that they are some monsters made of ice and snow and bones.
Although they look like ordinary birds from a distance, if you get closer, you can see that these birds have no feathers on their bodies at all, and they are all formed by the bones of unknown monsters intertwined with blue ice and snow.
In particular, the edges of the monster's claws and wings shimmer with an ominous blood-red light, and it is almost certain that it is either poisonous or cursed, and it will be very troublesome to scratch it.
The monsters howled excitedly when they saw that the person flying in was a young woman, and in their eyes, the weak human woman in front of them could never be their opponent
But just as the two sides were about 100 meters away, they suddenly felt that the frost around their bodies was no longer under their control, and even the parts of their bodies made of cold ice began to stiffen.
The monsters were faced with the joint moves of Liang En and Ao Lei, and when the dragons' control of nature and Liang En's mastery of the ice and snow attribute divine power were fused, they gained control of the power of frost almost instantly.
This level of control is so deep that the monster loses not only control over the frost power around it, but also the parts that make up it.
So in just one look, these monsters fell straight from the sky, and by the time they came back to their senses and regained control, they had already fallen heavily to the ground.
Most of the monsters were completely torn apart by the time they fell to the ground, and only a few of the monsters survived, but the monsters that survived were all mutilated, and none of them were able to fly again.
"Now melt the ice!" Looking at the white and frozen sea below, Liang En shouted loudly, and then used his divine sense to lock on to an area and point out the target location for Ao Lei.
"Understood—" Ao Lei quickly swooped down and spat out an ice-blue breath at her target, which looked like frost but quickly melted the ice on the surface of the sea.
When a puddle of sea water reappeared in front of Liang En and them, Liang En quickly summoned his gunboat, and then ordered the group of lantern gods on board to fire in the direction he had predetermined.
The guns on the Liang En warship were all specially made, with a longer range and greater power, and the warship was located closer to the Wolf Altar than the fortress, so when the cannons began to roar, pillars of smoke and fire quickly rose around the altar.
The manipulator of the altar had apparently noticed this, and after a special fluctuation of spiritual power, the remains of the monsters they had just destroyed began to slowly gather together, as if they were going to form some new monsters.
"Keep rushing, don't stop." Liang En, who was next to Ao Lei, who was about to mend the knife, reminded that although he knew that it was not a good thing for the remains of these monsters to gather together, he knew that what he had to do now was not to spend time on these monsters, but to destroy the foundation of these monsters.
After being reminded by Liang En, Ao Lei quickly recovered from the dive and continued to fly towards the east, and soon they came to the vicinity of the altar.
As in their perceptions, they were presented with an eerie structure of ice, snow and biological remains, surrounded by a myriad of black mist.
For beings with keen perception like Liang En and Ao Lei, they could hear the wails of the dead faintly coming from the black mist, and they could see the resentful spirits hidden in the black mist.
After discovering that Liang En and the others were trying to attack, these resentful spirits roared into the sky like a tornado, and rushed straight towards the two of them, and let out a scream that could shock people's souls.
In the face of this kind of attack directly aimed at the soul, neither Liang En nor Ao Lei dared to underestimate it, so even if they were in a hurry, they could only choose to avoid its edge, and then use mobility to throw off or destroy the enemy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity for the group of resentful spirits to come, the wizard standing on the altar raised the wooden staff in his hand and sang and danced, and with a sound like nails scratching glass, a group of elite wolves around him quickly and quickly launched a group of pre-prepared sacrifices and beheaded them on the edge of the altar.
"It's too little, it's just too little." Seeing the blood gushing from the severed necks of slaves and monsters sink into the altar, the lord of the city-state who commanded the action next to the altar gritted his teeth and roared in a deep voice.
Although this operation may seem very abrupt, as a semi-military city-state, there are some things that are prepared in advance, such as altars, and slaves and monsters as sacrifices:
Not all creatures can be sacrificed to this particular altar, and in order to maximize the power of the altar, those sacrifices must be the most powerful creatures, and at the same time, they must go through a series of treatments to make their souls painful enough.
As the back hand of the city-state's pressure box bottom, the wolf-yi city-state pays attention to accumulating the slaves needed for the altar on a daily basis, and replaces them in time to ensure that there are enough slaves that can be used to summon the power in the altar.
Since the place where the slaves were held was located in the cellar, Liang En did not find them during the previous bombing, and naturally he was not able to kill these spare sacrifices.
However, during the sudden shelling just now, the temporary slave fence was focused on because it was a rare structure in the area, and several grenades were hit in succession.
These shrapnel wiped out almost all life in the slave enclosure and surrounding area, so much so that the Wolves were able to make 1/20th of the sacrifice they would normally make.
To make matters worse, the Wolf Army was either already stuck on the front line at this time, or they were killed and wounded in the shelling just now. It's impossible to get them to be sacrificed.
So when Liang and the others rushed to the altar, they found a richly dressed wolf standing at the bottom of the altar, stabbing himself in the chest with a short sword, and then falling towards the altar.
At the same time, the wolf, whose hair had turned snow-white, who was standing on the altar, did the same.
Just as the two wolves, who were clearly big people, fell on the altar, the altar began to shake. Then he ascended higher and higher before them.
"Quick—attack the altar."
Liang En, who realized that he had entered a critical moment, shouted to Ao Lei, and at the same time summoned a half-human-high sword light in his hand and shot out in the direction of the altar.
And when his sword light and Ao Lei's dragon breath hit the altar, the cannonballs fired by the distant artillery also hit the altar across a distance of nearly a thousand meters, exploding a cloud of sparks.
"Whew-"
Even so, the altar persevered in the midst of the attack and turned into a giant wolf with a howl, and then clawed at Liang En.
