Chapter 868: Philanciene's Greatest Value

When the elemental cannonballs happen to hit those living bone towers, they will even make the black fog disappear in the surrounding area of hundreds of meters, exposing everything to the city defense maze.

Until the Skeleton Army recovers it with a new Living Bone Tower, it will otherwise be a forbidden place for the undead.

Among them, the most lethal is naturally the Holy Light Cannonball composed of positive energy, which will instantly make all the ordinary undead at the hit point fall.

As for why there are five types instead of six, the few elemental cannons that fire negative energy cannonballs are naturally not usable.

These negative energy cannonballs, instead of causing any damage to those undead, are healing them.

Soon, however, the black mist surged up, engulfing everything around it, including the various elements fired from the Elemental Bombardment.

The sound of them fighting below could only be faintly heard, and it lasted only a short time before disappearing.

Those high-level elements are out-and-out killers against those ordinary undead, and they can kill a few of them casually, but they are obviously not enough to look at the death rangers and the furious wind, and they are dismantled to pieces in minutes.

The elemental bombardment could only slow them down to a certain extent, and the black mist continued to advance towards the city of Moshantier at a slow but determined pace.

Looking at the killing elemental bombardment, Gavin was a little dumbfounded and said, "Moshantier City still has such a cross-era weapon?" ”

"What's so surprising about that." With just a glance, Philancini figured out the principle of these elemental bombardment cannons, and explained, "This is just an extension of the city defense lock, which looks unique, but it is just an elemental aggregator that blasts out highly concentrated elements, producing an explosion and an effect similar to summoning.

Compared to the energy cannons on the floating city of the Netharel Empire, they are just a group of low-profile versions, and the energy cannons powered by the Mithriel nuclear can directly bombard targets more than ten kilometers away, and can easily destroy a village with a single shot. ”

Since there is an elemental energy cannon, what kind of kinetic energy cannon are you playing?

It's not that the Faeron plane doesn't have high-end weapons, it's just that he used to be unheard of.

Gavin, who had adjusted his thinking in an instant, asked in a loud voice: "Teacher, can you develop and manufacture this kind of elemental cannon?" ”

Philansinee didn't like this elemental bombardment, he did.

With this thing, put it on the building-style chariot and cover it with a layer of iron armor, which is the original version of the armed personnel carrier.

Philancini thought about it for a moment and said: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to imagine, it's relatively easy to imagine a version of the city defense, even if you don't have the city defense puzzle lock, you can build elemental mage towers, use them as elemental gathering tools, and add bombardment launchers to them."

The mobile version, however, is not necessary, and if you have the energy, you might as well just build golems and equip them with elemental launchers, which will not only have powerful ranged attack capabilities, but also good melee capabilities. ”

"Makes sense." Gavin listened and nodded again and again, limited by his own experience, many of his innovative thinking, will think about modern scientific and technological weapons, after all, the information of another society is relatively developed, and many things can be dabbled in through various channels even if they have not been seen.

Faeron's magic is different, not to mention those melee classes, even if many spellcasters, even if they become legends and dabble in the secrets of this world, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Even because of a series of reasons such as the changes of the times and devastating wars, a lot of knowledge has been disconnected.

For example, many legendary mages are not familiar with the floating cities of the Netharel Empire, and many things exist in conjecture.

The ruins of those floating cities, even for legendary mages, are extremely dangerous places, and they dare not venture to explore easily, only those adventurers who don't know anything about them will stupidly drill into them, and the adventurers who carry the treasures of the Netherel Empire are rare, and there are countless undead souls in the ruins.

And Philancini is the most orthodox arcanist, and when she solves problems, the first thing she thinks of is Feron's native methods, and she has more knowledge than she can imagine.

Gavin asked in surprise, "Teacher, you won't tell me that you are still proficient in the making of golems, right?" ”

Golems, also known as constructing creatures, are, as the name suggests, creatures that are shaped by assembling matter.

Comparatively speaking, the concept of constructing creatures is a bit bigger, and golems are just the most iconic category.

Depending on the material from which they are constructed, there are many types of golems, the most common being clay golems, flesh golems, steel golems, and stone golems.

There are also alchemy golems made by alchemists with alchemy potions, dragon bone golems made from dragon bones, etc., which require more specialized knowledge and ability.

The two Adamantite Golems at the entrance of the palace of the Cormier Kingdom are the ceilings in the Golems.

They are the self-propelled tools of war of Feron, the powerful servants and guardians of those mighty mages, loyal to their makers, unaware of exhaustion, hunger, age, and slumber, immune to all mental magic.

The only thing that restricts their large-scale popularity is probably their high cost, and the cost of the cheapest clay golems is as high as hundreds of thousands, not to mention those golems that require unique materials, which are often not bought with money, and the mages who can make them are rare.

Coupled with the fact that this is a magical world where the flesh can be sanctified, it is not uncommon for those powerful warriors to tear the Iron Golem with their bare hands.

In addition, healing magic and resurrection magic are very popular, and those powerful warriors die, and a resurrection magic can solve it.

But if a powerful golem is damaged, it can only be repaired by professionals with expensive alchemy materials, and once destroyed, the materials can only be recovered and re-refined.

And those spellcasters usually have their own alternatives, such as the Lesserman Witches, who prefer to summon the elementals of the inner plane, who are no less powerful than most golems.

The most important thing is that there is no need for maintenance in normal times, even if it is damaged in battle, as long as it is not an elemental lord, the rest, even if it is an elemental elder, depends on your own ability.

The kingdom of Serre, on the other hand, prefers to enslave the undead or summon demons for their own use.

For various reasons, golems are not as popular as they seem, and are sometimes jokingly referred to as the high servants of mages, and they are more engaged in some miscellaneous work than fighting, such as carrying heavy loads.

Another important role is to act as an eternal guardian, guarding the mage's secret treasure vaults or certain secret locations, making the most of their mechanical properties.

Philansini said proudly: "Arcanists who can't make golems are more unusual, do you think those floating cities are controlled by people?" ”

Gavin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does the teacher mean is that the Golem is the main manipulator of the Floating City?" ”

When you think about it, there really is no better place to perform those repetitive tasks than these golems, and as far as the complexity is concerned.

The Golem's instructions are all input by their makers, and they can't execute them if they are too complicated, but there is no problem with those disassembled and repetitive instructions.

At most, the golems with different commands can be combined, which can be regarded as replacing human labor with machines.

It's much easier to make a golem than it is to train a warrior of the same rank, let alone a magic apprentice.

"Yes." Philancini nodded and said, "Not only does the Floating City have a large number of golems instead of manpower, but it even has a golem manufacturing factory, which can produce various types of golems in batches and quickly, so that the production cost of golems can be greatly reduced, not only with service type golems, but also with golems that are specifically responsible for combat."

Even during the days of the Netherel Empire, this kind of factory was a top secret, and it required a sufficiently skilled arcanist to dabble in, and I didn't have the opportunity to see it, let alone learn it.

However, I heard that the mages of Harua's have been inherited, and their golem application rate in China is very high, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to visit and study there. ”

"Even if you have the opportunity to visit, the chances of learning about the construction of the Golem Factory from them are almost zero, and this must be their secret secret." Gavin's eyes sparkled, "Actually, there is another way to learn. ”

"What you're trying to talk about isn't it those fallen floating cities, right?" Philansienne asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Gavin nodded, "It just so happens that I know the locations of several floating cities. ”

"Oh? If you can find those fallen floating cities, I'd be interested in researching them. Philansienne was very interested.

There is not a single Arcanist who is not interested in the Floating City, because it is the pinnacle of their profession, and a lot of the knowledge they need is in the service of the Floating City.

But this ultimate war machine is not something that one or two arcanists can build, nor a few people can run, it needs the people of a city to build and manipulate it.

Since the collapse of the Nethrel Empire, no one in this world has been able to build a floating city, including the kingdom of Harua, which claims to be the true inheritor of the Nethrel Empire, at best, it has a method of building a floatship.

"As long as the teachers are interested, it will be easy to do, and when I turn around, I will send someone to find them and locate them." Gavin felt that he had found the right direction to tap into Philansini's potential.

The Netherel Empire is also a great treasure trove worth digging into, especially the Floating City.

Because he knew that in ten years, the continent would once again be in the shadow of the Floating City.

Not all of the floating cities of the Nethar Empire have fallen, and several have survived intact due to coincidence and have their own unique characteristics, and they will return one after another to try to regain domination of their territory.

Unfortunately, Gavin's realm will overlap a lot with them.

Therefore, it is very necessary to study the floating city, not only to learn from its useful points, but also to find ways to deal with it.

"Are you sure you can really find them? Don't trust the so-called treasure maps, many of them are used to fool people, or those who are remnants of the Netharel Empire have written them from their own memories.

At that time, the area of the Enooc Desert was not half the size of what it is now, and the climate was not as extreme as it is now, and if you followed those treasure maps, you would only get lost in the vast sea of sand.

Over the years, I don't know how many people have run into the Great Sand Sea to find the ruins of the Floating City, and there are very few people who can bring back the news of the Floating City, but there are countless people who have been swallowed up by the Great Sand Sea. Philancini questioned whether Gavin could actually find the ruins of the Floating City.

After all, the large number of places where the floating city fell were all in the place that is now called the Enooak Desert, also known as the Great Sand Sea.

This is because of the great desert formed by the magic factor, the extreme environment, even those mages, sometimes feel hopeless.

Gavin said with great interest: "If you send outsiders into the Great Sand Sea, the chance of searching for the ruins of the Floating City is very small, but if you use the aborigines of the Great Sand Sea, it will save a lot of time and effort, I have a plan to conquer the Great Sand Sea, and I will integrate it with the search and research plan of the ruins of the Floating City, so as to lay a solid foundation for the teacher's research." ”

He was not lying by this, he did have his own long-term plans in the Enoch Desert.

Whether it's for the purpose of conquering the rocks, or for the sake of confronting the Santarim Society.

The former is because many monster tribes in the rocky land regard the Great Sand Sea as a refuge, and when there are powerful forces to encircle and suppress them, they often choose to collectively escape to the Great Sand Sea and use the complex and changeable natural environment here to fight against the encirclement and suppression.

If this direction is not completely blocked, it will be much more difficult to completely destroy them, rather than learning from the Xianglong Empire, casting the Great Wall on the border.

Gavin prefers to bring it under his rule, forming a counter-siege of the rocks.

When he was forced to temporarily leave the rocks and choose a new territory to develop under the pressure of the Santarim Society, Gavin had hesitated between the valley and the Great Desert of Enooc.

It's just that the conditions there are too difficult, the investment required in the early stage is too large, and the capital at that time was limited and could not support it, but now I have enough capital.

The latter was due to the Black Road, the largest trade route of the Santarim Society, which helped them connect the northern land of Faerun to the Moon Sea region, where they carved out a large number of man-made oases and held ownership firmly in their hands.

At its peak, this trade route once accounted for eighty percent of the total trade volume of the Santarin Society, even if with the rise of the Santalin Society, they were involved in more and more fields and businesses, and the proportion of the black road gradually weakened, but it has always been able to maintain more than thirty percent of the total trade volume.

If this trade route is disrupted, the blow to the Santarim Society will be seriously affected, if not fatal.

As time passed, Gavin's hostility to the Santarim Society was not only a feud for enslavement in a previous life, but also a conflict of interest in this life.

He wants to rise in the valley, whether it is the Santarin Society or the Kingdom of Sambia, they are competitors who cannot be overcome.

Having a conflict of interest with them often means doing whatever it takes.

Because this is their usual method of dealing with the enemy, but if they are soft-hearted, it is very likely that they will suffer in the end.

In this way, the search for the remains of the floating city of the Nethrel Empire has become a point of interest in the development of the Great Sand Sea, and as long as you can gain a little from it, you can recover the investment cost of the development of the Great Sand Sea.

"We'll talk about these studies later, and think about how to deal with these undead enemies first." Philancini pointed to the bottom of the walls.

Just as they were talking, the defensive battle escalated again.

The thousands of ballistae in Moshantier City also joined the defense, but the power that this kind of shooting in the dark can exert is completely unknown.

At least it didn't have much impact on the advance of the army of bones.

Soon they were pushed underneath the city defense lock, where the two formed a state of anxiety.

At a distance of five or six meters from the city defense maze lock, it would be difficult for the black fog to advance further.

The temporary magic array of the Living Bone Tower is far less powerful than the permanent magic array of the City Defense Mystery Lock.

At this time, a swollen zombie with a big belly and a swollen body came out of the darkness.

Under the light of positive energy, their whole bodies were filled with black smoke, and before they had taken a few steps, they exploded, and a thick black mist filled everywhere, which was highly compressed negative energy.

Even if it is a positive energy neutralization, it will take a while.

Suddenly this insurmountable desperate situation of ordinary undead was completed, and more self-destructing zombies poured along these passages to the front of the city defense mystery, and then exploded with a bang.

The highly compressed negative energy immediately corroded the city defense maze lock, forming large holes of no small size, enough to make most of the undead rush in, including those living bone towers, which bloomed from the inside.

And at this time, the real killing move of the red-robed mage of Ser arrived.

A huge conical bone tower, from scratch, began to emerge little by little.

Different from those improvised patchwork of living bone towers, this bone tower is extremely particular about both the materials and the way it is built.

Giant bones, dragon bones, giant beast bones, etc., all of them are large in size, and there are as many as eight dragon heads alone, and each one has to be more than an adult.

This is a mage tower, a mage tower that can walk through the shadows.

It was directly linked to the living bone towers, and became the core of a huge Soul Gathering Circle.

A huge black hole appeared directly above it, and a steady stream of negative energy rushed down, beginning to have a suppressive effect on the city defense maze.

But it was the city of Moshante itself that really played a decisive role.

A large amount of negative energy floated out from the city and the city wall, forming a black fog that refused to disperse, forming a sheltered area, effectively blocking the city defense lock.

The Kingdom of Ser saw this opportunity to attack the city of Moshantil, obviously having its own calculations.

There has just been a bloody battle here, and those Lysersmen can clean up the corpses, but the souls who died here, the resentment and obsession left here, cannot be dissipated, and this power can be fully utilized, as a medium to attack the city of Mossantil, to suppress them, and to suppress them, the most restrained city defense maze.
