Chapter 331: Destroyed Stronghold

Legend has it that those warriors and emblem masters with profound cultivation have found a lot of languages that do not belong to a country on this continent in many ancient ruins, and these languages have infinite power, they appear in the form of characters, forming various unknown powers in a certain arrangement and combination, and when these forces are activated, they will realize dimensional transmission to individuals and even groups in the form of inscription runes, and the distance can reach more than thousands of metersIt can reach a range of tens, hundreds, or thousands of miles.

That's where portals come in.

Emblem and inscription technology have developed to this day, remote teleportation is not a new topic, and the emblem masters of every country have mastered this knowledge, just like the General Institute of the War Soul Academy has mastered the inscription technology, and can teleport a group of dozens of units to a range of more than a few thousand miles at a time, which is the origin of the portal from the imperial capital to the border battlefield.

The creation of portals consumes a lot of resources, even the Tianfeng Empire, which has a history of a hundred years, only has six long-range portals, and each teleportation needs to consume a large amount of energy source stones, so this time for the invasion of the beast tide on the border battlefield of the empire, the empire needs to consume at least fifty percent of the reserves of the treasury.

This is still a conservative number, and if one portal is destroyed, the entire empire will face huge losses.

This is why Di Luo has repeatedly emphasized that Duan Lie's task is arduous.

In the blue channel as blue as the sea, Duan Lie felt for the first time the excessive burden of remote teleportation on the mental power of the combatant, in fact, under normal circumstances, when the combatant passes through the remote portal, he must pay a strong mental power to protect the sobriety of consciousness, otherwise it will bring a huge burden to the body, so if he still has to maintain a certain combat effectiveness after teleportation, the cultivation of the combatant itself needs to be very strong.

At least the division level must be at least level 5, which is why the vanguard must choose elite generals.

Duan Lie's tasks are very simple, but also very cruel, after analyzing the situation on the battlefield on the imperial border, assuming that the portal is occupied by the beast tide, he needs to regain control of the portal and even the stronghold, set up a high-pressure thunder fire array, and expel the demonic beasts and berserk beasts, so as to ensure that the large army behind can smoothly cross and join the warriors of the imperial border without threat......

In the straight blue channel, Duan Lie stood in front of him first, holding the pseudo-Flood Chaos Battle Pestle tightly in his left hand, although he did not raise the Dou Qi Armor, but the whole spirit was already tense, just like Di Luo said, this time his task was very difficult, because they didn't know what was waiting at the other end of the portal, if it happened to appear in the center of the beast tide, then well, in order to survive, he would need to pay a certain price.

Not only that, but he also had to ensure that the group of warriors with the strength of the war division behind him could safely travel through the past and set up the Thunder Fire Array.

In the teleportation channel, Jason only glanced at Duan Lie for a moment and ignored it, and as the process of passing through the teleportation, one order after another was issued by the legion squad leader.

"Tino, Andas, you two are in charge of guarding ......"

"George, Danny, and Reds arrived on the other side and quickly found the placement point of Thunder Flame......"

"Mill, Hughes, Kutch, you are responsible for leading the first squad, the second squad, and the third squad, everyone's task is very heavy, we must ensure that George, Danny, and Reds complete the installation of the Thunder Fire within three minutes, their safety is our top priority......"

George, Danny, and Reds in the team are warriors in the army who know the Thunder Fire Array very well, they are the core of the task, there are a total of Thunder Fire emblems, which can ensure that a Thunder Fire Storm is formed within a radius of fifty meters, forming a defensive circle, Duan Lie knows the value of such an arrangement, it can be said that if the Thunder Fire Array is placed, it can be guaranteed that the defense circle will not be broken through by the beast tide within an hour.

After arranging the manpower, Jason came to Duan Lie's side and said: "Duan Lie, although the order of teleportation belongs to His Excellency Di Luo, Grand Duke Inez once said that this border war is still dominated by the nine legions, and we are responsible for protecting your safety, please follow Tino and Andas later, they are third-level war divisions, and they have the absolute ability to protect you, and your task is still biased to carry out guerrilla tactics to consume the strength of the Warcraft Legion after finding the base." ”

Although Di Luo arranged an important task before teleporting, Jason didn't care, as a warrior of the empire, of course he knew that the students sent by the War Spirit Academy had strong combat power, but after all, these flowers growing in the greenhouse had not experienced the test of blood and fire, and they had been in the experience of the War Spirit Academy students joining the empire before, but in the end, he just saw those greenhouse flowers that had always been above the top of the eyes were scared and weak after seeing the monsters, and he really didn't dare to have too much confidence in these greenhouse flowers.

Hearing Jason's arrangement, Duan Lie was not surprised to feel Jason's prejudice and contempt for him, but he didn't refute, but nodded emphatically, as if he should make Jason's arrangement, he knew that in the case of a tight war, the most important thing is to obey the arrangement, at least before seeing the battlefield with his own eyes, it is best to maintain unity, otherwise the army's spirit is unstable, and it is easy to affect everyone's performance.

As for what to do on the other side, he naturally knew in his heart, and this did not need to be considered by Jason.

The elite members of the Predator Cross were all warriors who had experienced bloody battles on the battlefield, and when they saw that Duan Lie did not resist Jason's orders, their faces changed a little.

For these warriors, the command is more important than everything.

Soon the blue passage came to an end, Duan Lie's palms tightened unnaturally, and then after a dazzling flash of bright light, he came to a strange territory.

What you can see in the field of vision is the cracked earth under your feet and the traces of the portal that is about to be destroyed, there is a camp stronghold surrounded by a solid tree stump nearby, according to the remnants of the battle, everywhere, the corpses of the warriors wearing imperial armor are almost covering the entire stronghold, and the Tianfeng Emperor ** flag hanging high is fluttering in the wind, but it is being burned by wildfire, about to turn into ashes, and as far as the eye can see, several gray coyotes are gnawing at the corpses of the warriors......

It seems that the battle report ahead is not false, and the stronghold has indeed been occupied by the beast tide, and in this small stronghold, there are at least dozens of wasteland coyotes.

The wasteland coyote is a demonic beast of about twenty-two levels, with a power field of many demonic beasts such as Gravel Earthquake to form inheritance magic, bloodthirsty, and likes to feed on raw meat......

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Duan Lie subconsciously frowned, and at this moment, two figures swept out from behind him, it was the two third-level battle masters Tino and Andas.

The speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and they all took out a shield, one controlled the fire fighting qi, and the other controlled the wood fighting qi and ran towards the nearest few wasteland coyotes from the portal, and the three wasteland coyotes were cut in two in three wails......

Judging from the terms of strength, Duan Lie was naturally no worse than Tino and Andas, but he sighed a little ashamedly at this time, it seems that ordinary adventurers and warriors of the legion are different.

In terms of reaction ability, of course, Duan Lie's mental power is much stronger, but although he repeatedly reminded himself to be vigilant, after coming out of the portal, his first conscious reaction was to observe the surrounding environment, while the warriors of the Iron Blood Legion focused on cleaning up the battlefield and did not think about the surrounding environment at all, because he knew very well in his heart that only a region without alien races was the safest place.

Duan Lie couldn't help but feel ashamed, and at this time, the rest of the Iron Blood Legion and the others also appeared, they were divided into sequential order, two people from each squad appeared, and quickly occupied three directions, as the number of people continued to increase, the effective range of ten meters outside the portal was controlled by them.

The warriors of the Predator Legion did have a wealth of battlefield experience, which Duan Lie couldn't match.

"Find a place to put and protect George, Danny, Reds, ......"

Then Jason's shout rang out behind him, this legion squad leader with the strength of a fourth-level Great War Division, exerted his excellent military talent.

It's just that when he passed by Duan Lie's side, he said in a commanding tone: "You follow Tino and clear the wasteland coyotes in the north, damn alien races, they killed our warriors, and they should pay the price of blood." ”

"Good. Duan Lie didn't think about Jason's tone, after all, the situation near the portal was still within Jason's control, thinking of this, he quickly followed Tyno.

Tino was raising his big sword in one hand to lift a wasteland into the air, when he felt Duan Lie running over, and said unceremoniously: "I can stop it here, go somewhere else to help." ”

"Uh......" Duan Lie was just about to help, when he heard Tino shouting, his movements were slightly sluggish, and he turned his head to look, the south was basically the rear camp, there were not many demonic beasts, and there was a third squad to protect Reds, it was not a big problem, the west was facing a bush, and a large number of demonic beasts were rushing over, Jason was the first to block the forefront, and there were Andas and Tino in the east and north respectively, and they also controlled the situation, and the situation did not seem to be as difficult to deal with as imagined, and even all the people of the Iron Cross Legion could completely control the situation without Duan Lie's help at all。

For a while, Duan Lie was a little at a loss and didn't know who to help, and at this time, Jason was gradually analyzing the situation of the entire battlefield, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Duan Lie at all.

Duan Lie didn't have time to ask, it seemed that the situation was not bad, as long as he survived for three minutes, the next group of teams would arrive through the portal, and at this time, the nearby wasteland coyotes were almost cleared, and there was no chance to make a move by himself.

It's just that Duan Lie didn't rejoice too early, after dozens of wasteland coyotes were wiped out, their screams finally aroused the beastliness of the wandering demonic beasts in the jungle, and when a roar that shook the earth came from a distance of thousands of meters, Duan Lie looked at the tsunami-like dust raised on the ground, which was a sign of the beast tide running.

Through the dust raised in the sky, the wasteland coyotes, one-horned rhinoceros, and black forest tigers ...... Emerging from the jungle, this time there were as many as two hundred or so, and although their strength could not be increased to the level of strength, it was enough to threaten the members of the Predator Cross who were only about thirty in number.

At this time, the placement point of the Thunder Fire Array had not yet been found......

The placement of the emblem array needs to be surveyed to a certain extent, and the effective distance cannot exceed the range of the relationship between the emblems themselves, and the emblem cornerstone must be placed in the location before, so as to prepare for the ability to store energy for the emblem cornerstone, but the time to establish the emblem cornerstone is very long, so in the stronghold of the imperial border battlefield, it has always been the first time after the legion occupies the territory to establish the foundation stone of the emblem placement, in case of replacement or storage of the emblem.

What Jason is looking for is the cornerstone location that was established before, but there are two hidden dangers in this process, in order to prevent the destruction of the monster, the cornerstone location has always been hidden, and can only be found by using special methods, and the second is that it is very likely that the cornerstone location has been destroyed, if the damage is not serious, it can take some time to repair, if the damage is serious, it must be rebuilt.

Now Duan Lie and the others have encountered a problem......

Seeing the beast tide rolling in, Jason's gaze shrank fiercely, and at this moment, another, even worse news came from the direction of Reds.

"Captain, the cornerstone is damaged and needs time to repair ......"

"What?" everyone was taken aback, but fortunately, Jason calmed down and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Five minutes. ”

Everyone frowned again, and Jason shouted: "Everyone come here, send two people to protect Reds, three minutes plus five minutes, we have to withstand these eight minutes and escort the troops behind......"

Five minutes is the time to repair the cornerstone, three minutes is the time to wait for teleportation, adding up to eight minutes, and the troops will arrive later, which is eight minutes of life and death.

As he spoke, the beast tide was already approaching, and these iron-blooded crusader warriors were unnaturally sweating, and at this time, Reds gritted his teeth and shouted: "I don't need protection, I will definitely complete the task." ”

Jason glanced at Redders approvingly, then immediately thought of Duan Lie, and said loudly to him, "Duan Lie, you go and protect Reds." ”

Duan Lie was stunned for a moment, Jason and the others didn't believe that his strength was a sure thing, but he didn't refute, but quickly stood by Reds's side.

Reds glanced at Duan Lie, didn't speak, and got busy on the ground.

Since he decided to join the imperial battlefield, he had to obey orders, and Duan Lie still had this awareness......

"Roar!"

Listening to the roar of the camp in front, the Iron Cross Legion finally clashed with the beast tide, the angry spear and the hard barrier had been formed, and under the huge collision of the beast tide, a huge wave of fighting energy was stirred up in front......

Duan Lie was not idle here, his eyes looked around vigilantly, his expression was surprisingly calm and dignified, the emblems of the other two positions had been placed, and the defensive attack in front had also been established, and now it was on Reds' side......

There is no trick to repair the cornerstone, even if Duan Lie personally makes a move, it will only buy a few seconds, so it doesn't matter if he makes a move or not, and protecting Reds is his main task.

While protecting Reds, he was vigilant around him, and then he heard Reds complaining anxiously: "Damn, the damage is too bad, these hateful aliens should be punished by God." ”

Duan Lie glanced down, there was a hole in the position of the cornerstone that was indeed seriously worn, if it could not be repaired in time, the lines inside would not be able to receive the energy of the emblem and transmit it to the other two positions, and the matter was indeed very troublesome.

Redes looked at it for a while, couldn't do anything with the carving knife, and said to Duan Lie with a faint intention of giving up: "You go and inform Captain Jason, it may take me longer." As he spoke, he said in frustration: "It's possible that this teleportation array is going to give up." ”

"So troublesome?" Duan Lie said in amazement, in fact, in his eyes, it is true that the cornerstone is seriously worn, but it is definitely not impossible to repair it, but this Redes is not proficient in the technology of emblem inscriptions.

He wanted to take a closer look, but he knew that this sentence caused Redders's dissatisfaction: "What do you know? The array cornerstone theory is based on a complete source material system, and this cornerstone is too badly damaged to be engraved on the inscription at all. ”

Duan Lie saw that this was indeed the case, but he said: "It seems that yes, it is better to rebuild one." ”

When Reds heard this, he immediately looked at Duan Lie as a layman: "Rebuild? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, do you know how long it takes to rebuild a cornerstone, it will take at least thirty minutes, and the cornerstone must be recharged, so we will have to extend it for at least thirty-two minutes." Thirty-two minutes, there is no way to resist the tide of beasts. Redes angrily stretched out three fingers and roared at Duan Lie.

Duan Lie didn't get angry with Reds's accusation against him, after all, the time was urgent, he just responded: "It won't take so long, two minutes is enough, this cornerstone should be a cylindrical structure, and there should still be a material cylinder on the ground, give me the carving knife, I'll come." As he spoke, Duan Lie raised the pseudo-flood battle pestle and swept it fiercely on the ground, and this sweep immediately polished the surface of the cornerstone.

In doing so, he would be able to completely destroy the structure that the cornerstone had already built, and all they could do was rebuild with the remaining materials.

And this move immediately angered Redes: "What are you doing? Do you know what you are doing? If you do this, you are throwing everyone here, and the troops behind you are also ......."

Reds never imagined that Duan Lie would make his own assertions, his face was red with anger, his neck was thick, and he pointed at Duan Lie and shouted, "You...... You ignorant fellow, you have killed everyone, and you deserve to be dealt with by the laws of the Empire. ”

Redes scolded angrily and quickly left the cornerstone, but Duan Lie was too lazy to say, Redes is gone, don't you have a carving knife? So he hurriedly took out the crystal carving knife, and one by one it revealed the pillar seal.
