Chapter 60, Floating City Exploration, the Weird Third Layer!
The rules of space near Waterdeep are chaotic.
You can't use teleportation to get there.
Fang Yuan followed his legions after a few days of marching.
Finally, we arrived outside the floating city where it fell.
"Your Excellency."
Seeing Fang Yuan come in person.
Christian hurried forward.
"How's it going?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Some of the wandering mages around have been cleared."
"But don't dare to get too close to the Floating City."
"The magic radiation over there is very strong."
"Get too close and you'll continue to take damage."
Fang Yuan said after standing in the distance and looking at it for a while.
"Lilith."
"How do you solve the magic radiation?"
Lilith thought for a moment and said.
"It should be from the leakage of the demonic core energy in the Floating City."
"The solution is simple, too."
"Demigod-level units can resist."
"This time, the legion that is not strong enough is waiting outside, and I will bring some high-level units in."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"Christian, Doug, Lilith, Jane, Guderian, Loyes."
"And the Red Dragon Legion, Seraphim follows in."
"The rest are waiting outside."
"Yes!"
"Two heroes with weak divine power, plus four demigod-level, a dark gold-level dragon, and an archangel army equivalent to a blow from weak-level divine power."
"It should be enough to take this floating city."
Fang Yuan thought secretly in his heart.
"I'm here now, so I can't help much."
"Why don't you take the team to Waterdeep."
Come to think of it.
Fang Yuan immediately ordered.
"Yassi, Albert, stay here."
"The rest of the people follow me in the direction of Waterdeep."
"Yes!"
In the direction of Waterdeep, it is mainly Brayney and Aria who stay behind.
After seeing Fang Yuan's arrival.
They immediately stepped forward.
"Your Excellency, why did you come here?"
Fang Yuan pointed to Deep Water City in the distance.
"The city has never been overrun by the Blue Star Lord."
"There should be a lot of documents about the history of the Old World left in it."
"I'm here to take down Waterdeep."
"You guys are guarding here, is there any good way to break through Waterdeep?"
When Aria heard this, she spoke quickly.
"Your Excellency."
"There are no particularly strong legions in Waterdeep."
"With our current strength, let Brennie's Abyss Wizard Force rush in a wave, and we can quickly capture this city."
Fang Yuan said after hearing this.
"Then just take it."
"Take here."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Brennie immediately ordered the Abyss Wizard to be armed.
They took to the skies.
Flew directly over the walls of Waterdeep City, and rushed inside.
But halfway through the flight.
A soft curtain of water appeared.
Blocked the Abyss Wizard armament.
"Huh!"
"And the magic array that protects the city!"
There are also in Fang Yuan's territory.
The power of the magic array is linked to the territory.
If you want to enter the city, you must first break the magic array.
Seeing this, the abyss magic guide in the distance immediately launched a fierce attack on the magic array.
But after a long bombing.
The entire magic array didn't move.
At this time, Helen on the side frowned.
"Your Excellency."
"This magic array is very strong."
"It's not like a product of the early part of the Glory Calendar."
"It's more like a product of the late Glory Calendar, or even the Cataclysm."
Then Helen struggled to remember for a while.
"And."
"This Waterdeep."
"In my memory, it was just an ordinary trading city-state."
"It's impossible to have such a powerful magic array to protect it."
"Unless!"
"Waterdeep has been transformed."
"And in the age of cataclysm."
Fang Yuan suddenly remembered.
In the years of the Cataclysm in the Old World.
In order to resist the attack of the misty gods.
Many cities have been transformed into bastions of doomsday resistance.
"Could it be that this Waterdeep is also a doomsday fortress built against the mist?"
"If so."
"Then it can explain why the Floating City fell here."
"Why did a god with medium divine power fall here?"
Fang Yuan immediately told Helen beside him about his guess.
"Quite possibly!"
"Your Excellency, I think it's too likely."
"If this were a doomsday fortress."
"It can also explain why the magic array inside is still useful."
"If you can take this Waterdeep City."
"Your Excellency, we may be able to learn a great deal about the Cataclysm Age."
"And!"
"The Doomsday Fortress is often a military fortress."
"There's definitely a lot of Cataclysmic weapons left over from there."
"Or maybe it's a cataclysm-era class."
"Your Excellency."
"It's a terrifying weapon that can inflict damage on gods, even powerful ones."
Hear here.
Fang Yuan looked at Deep Water City.
"I thought the biggest gain would be in Floating City."
"I didn't expect that!"
"The biggest takeaway is this Waterdeep City."
"It's just Helen."
"Look at the shield of Waterdeep."
"Brayney has attacked so many times so far, and there is still no response."
"If we're going to take the city, we'll need to break the shield."
"What's your best idea?"
Helen shook her head.
"You can only keep attacking this Deep Water City."
"Until the power in it is exhausted."
"It's best to have the strongest heroes join the attack."
"Otherwise, you will only be armed with the Abyss Wizard that Brennie is carrying."
"It's basically impossible to break it."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded.
"Let Brayney retreat first."
"Wait until the Floating City side is settled, and then occupy Deep Water City."
"Yes!"
And at the moment.
Inside the Floating City.
The hero who had just entered the city was stopped by a group of golems.
"Don't break in!"
Lilith shouted as she looked at the golem.
Doug on the side said with some disdain.
"These golems are damaged."
"The damage of the magic rays fired is not too strong."
"I can easily resist it."
"Let me come!"
Didn't listen to Lilith's advice.
Doug relied on his dragon body to be strong, and flew directly into the middle of the golem.
And then~
The sound of "boom" explosions sounded.
It didn't take long.
A disgraced Doug came out again.
"How can it still explode!"
Lilith shrugged.
"The golem already forms a magic circle."
"Anyone who tries to force their way in will detonate the magic circle."
"But you're able to resist the flash damage in the magic circle."
"I was a bit of a surprise."
"Generally speaking, demigod units are instantly killed."
Doug patted the blackened magic guide on his body.
"Rely on him."
"But it's barely dying, and I can't get over it at all."
"Lilith, is there any way to get through?"
That's the right question.
Lilith looked up.
Then he spoke quickly.
"It's easy, just close the circle."
"When you detonated the magic circle just now, I found that the other golems in the Floating City did not react."
"It should be the fall that caused some of the magic patterns to be damaged."
"As long as the energy supply on the cutting side is there, you can stop the golem from attacking."
With that, Lilith quickly calculated the magic formula on the ground.
After a moment, she pointed to a raised rock not far away.
"Attack that direction."
"As long as you destroy it, you can close the Golem Pack."
Doug, who got the solution, flapped his wings and flew up.
Directly squirt a mouthful of dragon flame.
That bulge was melted.
Then Christian struck with a burst of light.
The golem swarm, which had just been running, stopped moving.
"That's the first weight."
"There's more."
"This time it's over there."
Lilith pointed the way again.
With the concerted efforts of a group of heroes.
Soon the Golem level on the first level was completed.
Lilith appears with the hero at the entrance to the first floor.
"This floating city is old-fashioned."
"It feels like it was decommissioned and renovated by Fashen City."
"The first layer is the Golem layer."
"The second layer should be the magic crystal cannon layer."
"The biggest danger of the Magic Crystal Cannon layer is those that have not been destroyed."
"If you enter from the outside, you will be caught fire by the magic crystal cannon hidden inside."
"Even the gods resisted."
"However, in the Floating City that fell, the magic crystal cannon on this layer was more damaged."
"Send Seraphim to give it a try."
"If there are not many magic crystal cannons, the heroes who have reached the weak level of divine power will carry the damage in."
"Then go to the control room inside and turn off the active defense of the magic crystal cannon."
Guderian and Loyes nodded.
"Yes."
Soon a couple of Seraphim archangels went down first.
It didn't take long to wait.
Explosions were heard below.
None of the Seraphim returned.
"Generally, the passage on the second floor is a kilometer long, and it is made of magical steel that even the gods have not destroyed."
"Judging by the distance traveled by the Seraphim."
"It should have been the back that I was killed by the magic crystal cannon."
"Loyes, you take 100 Seraphim down."
"With the help of the archangel to disperse the damage, you rush quickly."
"Generally, the second level of passage gates that are damaged will not be closed."
"Because it needs to be repaired and escaped."
Loyes nodded.
He took the Seraphim and went down.
Soon, the sound of explosions was heard again.
"Can Loyes stop it?"
"Do you want to go down and have a look?"
Guderian said.
Lilith waved to wait.
It didn't take long.
Below, a Seraphim Archangel walked up.
"Your Excellency."
"Lord Loyes has destroyed the control room on the second floor."
"The magic crystal cannons are all turned off."
"Okay."
A group of heroes led the legion to the second level.
Here it is.
Lilith saw a huge hole appear in the side.
The magic crystal cannon group that was originally placed on the second floor was all damaged.
Inside the magic crystal cannon group, there are also many crystallized bones scattered around.
"What are these?"
Doug stepped over to examine the crystallized bones.
"The mage of the second layer of the Floating City."
"Under the attack of the huge energy spell, all the mages in this layer were killed."
"Even the body is crystallized."
That's when it happened.
The crystallized bones on the ground stood up violently.
A ray of light was sent at Doug.
"Bang".
Knocked Doug back a few meters.
"They're alive!"
Doug stepped back in surprise.
Lilith shook her head.
"It should be the energy in the body that drives them to attack."
"Shatter their shells and you'll be killed."
After saying that, a large fireball hit it.
The crystals shattered, revealing the white bones inside.
Without the protection of the crystals, the energy inside dissipates and these units die.
"So crispy?"
"A big fireball is dead!"
Doug opened his mouth violently, and a dragon flame erupted.
And then~
No harm was done.
"Crystals are inherently smelted at high temperatures."
"Should be immune to damage such as pure magic."
"With magic with impact."
"Just smash the shell."
After hearing it.
With a casual move, hundreds of magic balls appeared.
"Go!"
The magic ball with physical impact slammed into these crystal people.
The crystal on his body shattered instantly.
Then the white bones were exposed, and he lay motionless on the ground.
"Really!"
"Immune to magic damage, but the simplest physical damage can be broken."
"What an extreme unit."
And then Christian waved at them.
"This way!"
Lilith looked over.
A passage appeared where Christian was standing.
"I've looked for everything else."
"No trace of passage has been found."
"Only one has been found here."
"Lilith, see if it's a passage to the third floor."
Lilith said after crouching down and checking the blackened marks around her.
"Probably not."
"The third layer is the cantonment layer."
"When fighting outside the Floating City."
"The third layer is opened, and countless combat units come out of here."
"So the armor of the third layer is very thick."
"Even if the second layer is broken, the third layer will not be affected."
"This gap, it looks like it should be where the turret is placed."
Hearing this, Christian frowned.
"Then there won't be."
"I've looked around."
Lilith pointed to the side of the floating city that had been blown up.
"Over there."
"The passage down there should have been blown up."
"Since there isn't, then we'll go down from here."
"But be careful."
"The third layer is for the soldiers, and there should be a lot of these crystal people in it."
"You only need physical damage to kill them."
Several heroes nodded.
Following Lilith, he cautiously made his way to the third floor.
Compared to the second layer.
The area of this floor is much larger.
It's really like a city.
"On the third floor, there is a combat area, a living area."
"The reason why it is called a floating city is actually because this third layer is a city."
"A large floating city that can accommodate up to 500,000 people."
"That is, 500,000 people are invested in fighting in the Atlas at a time."
"But looking at the scale of this third layer, this should be a medium-sized floating city."
"It has a population of about 100,000."
Christian looked at the badly damaged layer.
Even if it is a ruin.
You can still see the prosperity of this layer.
"Lilith."
"Is there a warehouse on the third floor?"
"There should be a lot of good stuff in there."
Lilith nodded.
"There must be a magic guide armament."
"There will also be high-level magic scrolls and so on."
"But judging by the damage so far."
"I don't know if there are any warehouses on this floor."
"I suggest everyone scatter and search."
"Find the entrance to the fourth floor at the same time."
"The fourth layer is the core energy layer."
"If we find this, we're almost done with this mission."
"Good!"
"Scatter and search!"
"I'll take these red dragons with me."
"Seraphim, you share."
Doug didn't care if the others said yes or not.
He flew away with a hundred red dragons.
Lilith didn't care.
She said quickly.
"Crystal people are afraid of physical attacks."
"Besides, the units in this floating city should be dead."
"It's not very dangerous."
"I'll take 100 Seraphims with me."
Loyes followed.
"I'm 100 too."
Guderian looked at the seraphims.
"10."
"Let Christian take command of the rest."
"Christian, you're in charge of our liaison."
"Determine everyone's location in real time."
Christian nodded.
"Okay."
Soon they also dispersed.
Lilith takes 100 archangels and explores north.
It's a residential area.
And it wasn't long before Lilith entered!
Suddenly!
A sharp pop exploded in her ears.
"Help me!"
"Lilith!!"
"Help Me !!"
Lilith, who heard the voice, looked in the direction of the voice.
A sense of horror rises from underfoot.
"Teacher !!"
