340 cannons
A single Lost Lock can easily fend off a limited number of adventurers, but a single Lost Lock is powerless if a powerful army forces force an attack regardless of losses, and while dozens of Lost Locks and Seals outside the Black Court can minimize this danger, if the intruder is too strong, it is enough to pose a threat to the ruins.
The monsters crawling out of hell and the dragon corpses spitting the breath of death blocked the perimeter of the ruins, and from a distance they looked like a nest of bees pouring out of their nests.
A rough count showed that there were five or six hundred demons, and a few tall demon refining demons stood in the center of the team.
The dry corpse in a robe sat on top of the red dragon lich and looked down on everything in front of him, under him, hundreds of humans were busy fiddling with various magic props, and next to a dozen purple-robed people, there were more than a dozen dragon lichs, and after these dragon lichs, there were a large number of bone dragons, zombie dragons, ghost dragons and other undead dragons.
If this army were to attack Simon, Penny would be sure that the city would fall under a wave of attacks, and there would be no other possibility.
Looking at Samaste, who had given him a big surprise through the crystal ball, Penny's face twitched.
If he expected it to be right, this should be the entire power of the Dragon Witch Cult in Faeron, and he was actually summoned to this place by Samast in this wayβwith his ability, it would not be difficult to do so.
The remnants of an ancient evil creature have such a great attraction to this crazy guy.
Naturally, he didn't know that after being defeated by Lansendel, Samast had been looking for a real means to kill the gods, just becoming a demigod could not satisfy him, and something of the level of ancient evil things certainly had enough temptation for him.
Among the ancient evils, Penderim's evil title is 'God Slayer', and in his long life, he has devoured countless planes of gods, and it is his will to turn the orderly universe back into chaos and disorder, and for its power, Samast has great longing.
If you have such a weapon, wouldn't you be a man blocking the god of killing in Albortoriel?
"This is the remains of the Imasca?" Facing the confusion in front of him, a strange look jumped in the pale eyes of the skeleton, expressing the psychological change at this moment.
The object of his inquiry was the Golem Lich below, the undead who had just been summoned from the life box still seemed to be somewhat weakened, but the vengeful anger in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and behind him, there were hundreds of dark giants under his command, which had also been brought out in a bunch this time.
"Yes, sir. β
Follow the Lich in front of you, this is a directive from Visharon.
He leaned down deeply.
Samast nodded, a dazzling silver flame radiating from his body, and with a slight wave of his staff, the people below began to act.
He was also well prepared for the Imaska's protection of the ruins, at least he didn't think that with most of the Dragon Witch Cult's power in Faerun, he would not be able to knock on the door of this ruin.
Facts have proved that this line of thinking is very correct, in the face of such a magnificent army of demon gods, the power of the Lost Lock is really fragile, after a large amount of magic bombardment, a group of strong monsters rampage into the center of the Lost Lock, like cannon fodder, absorbing most of the ruins out of the counterattack of the spell.
And the outermost layer of the Mystery Lock was crumbling under this wave of impact, a large number of undead dragons and high-level monsters poured into the Mystery Lock together, and the operation of the entire layer of Mystery Lock immediately fell to the brink of collapse.
"Who is this lich? It's amazing that he has divine powers. A voice entered Penny's ears, and the voice made the wizard stunned for a moment, the voice was close at hand, and it sounded familiar.
However, it should not appear at such a time, judging by the content of the speech, her identity is about to be revealed, but the wizard turned his head and saw another face.
She walked slowly to the crystal ball, frowning, confused and the wizard poked her in the back, "Are you...... Miss Dan Linton?"
"I'm Ansenfia. She turned her head and frowned at the wizard.
Very different from Captain Fina's usual grinning expression, this frowning expression is quiet and delicate, without human fireworks.
This answer verified the conjecture in the wizard's mind, and when he understood that Ansenfia had actually rescued Fina in this way, his mind suddenly short-circuited.
"There's only one way to save her, and from an arcane point of view, it's not hard to dispel negative energy. 'Ansenfia' nodded, "But the soul that has been eroded to the point of extreme weakness under negative energy is not so easy to heal, unless there is something external that can provide her with enough soul essence. β
"You mean......" Penny raised an eyebrow.
"She's still recuperating, and it will take about two days before she wakes up. Ansenfia waved her arm as she spoke, her eyes a little confused: "**, this feeling has been said goodbye for thousands of years......"
"IMHO. The wizard coughed and pointed to the large pile of large and small crystal balls on the case: "They have broken through to the third layer of the puzzle. β
"Outer perimeter protection alone can't stop such a force. Ansenfia stared at the breaking dragon witch army, her eyes changed twice, and now, the wizard could clearly see the change in her expression, instead of a blur of light and shadow, but the thought that this facial features did not belong to the grave keeper elder, Panny's heart suddenly felt an unnatural feeling.
However, the urgency of the situation made him cough, put away the discomfort, and said, "Needless to say, Elder Ansenfia, even Ilminster and Hembo, may not be able to stop such a powerful team. β
He turned his gaze to the other side, and under the deliberate waterproofing of the lock, the voters of the two mysterious ladies had reached a short distance from the village.
Although these two had great personal strength, Penny saw the army of the Dragon Witch Cult on the rampage of the outer ruins, and knew that these two voters alone could not deal with the powerful lineup of the Dragon Witch Cult.
"It's okay, come with me. Ansenfia grabbed the wizard's arm, this action was very natural, so that the wizard himself was stunned for a moment, not only the wizard, but Ansenfia herself, after doing the action, there was a moment of confusion on her face.
"I'm sorry, but this is the body's own reaction. She frowned and looked at her hand: "Some of her subconscious is still influencing her, so you used to know Fina well?"
"Acquaintance, not familiarity. The wizard frowned secretly and withdrew his arm, the encounter with this beautiful captain was definitely not romantic, not to mention that he still appeared as a kidnapper at that time, as the victim, Miss Fina had not shown a good face to the wizard since then, and now he was even more puzzled to hear Ansenfia say that 'this is Fina's subconscious reaction'.
This is clearly a move that can only be made between people who are very close.
"That's good, this body is hers after all. The subconscious strangeness and the wizard's reaction seemed to make Ansenfia understand something, she exhaled lightly, said something that sounded strange to the wizard, and then returned to her dignified appearance, and walked into the glowing teleportation circle first.
The wizard who stepped in then only felt a flash of light in front of him, and then appeared in a dark space, and when he stepped on the smooth ground carved from unknown materials, about a dozen yards away, three or four feet from the ground, began to shine with runes that flowed in light, and the runes continued to spread to both sides, and the brighter and brighter light illuminated the surrounding space.
This is another house with a circular plan, the difference is that the roof of this room is actually crystal-like, and all parts of the room are covered with huge magic patterns, under the light wandering, all the runes are bright, a large amount of light is concentrated on the roof, and the crystal-like ceiling immediately reflects a dazzling brilliance.
The sight was a great shock to Penny's mind, and the center of the crystal dome shone brightly.
Like a moving map, dozens of shining spots of light dotted across a rugged mountain road.
"It's ......"
"The map around the entire periphery of the ruins, every spot of light, is a mystery. Ansenfia pressed a few times on the rune on the ground, as if it was an illusion, and Penny felt a tremor under his feet: "And this is the turret of the inner space." β
"Battery?" Penny wondered, this house also did not have a single window, and in the empty room with only runes, it was impossible to see where the cannon was.
"An annihilation cannon, this room is the main console. Ansenfia looked up at the sky dome and pointed to a certain part of the map on the dome, and the spot of light magnified tenfold, and the wizard clearly saw that the army of the Dragon Witch Cult was rampage through it: "They broke through a few more layers of the chain, and when they reached a little more in front of the village, they came into its range, and this cannon was embedded with the half-plane that sealed this ruin, using the power of Pendram, and with a single shot, it was able to turn the ground for miles nearby into wasteland." β
Penny's eyebrows jumped a few times, and when he heard Ansenfia describe the divine power of this cannon, he immediately felt a huge pressure, it turned out that this woman only needed a few more clicks in this room to easily destroy the enemies who broke into this place.
"Of course, if they break into this half-plane, this cannon can't be used, so we must destroy them on the periphery of the ruins. Ansenfia's gaze focused on one point on the map: "Right there, soon they will arrive." β
She whispered a few incantations, as if activated, and Penny heard a loud noise coming from all directions, as if the entire ruins were shaking.
But then Penny was worried.
Because there is a group of people who are supposed to arrive who have not shown up until now.
This, of course, would have upset him.
And Samast didn't know anything about it.
Although he knew the danger of the ruins, his envy of the power of the ancient evil god slaughter still made him unhesitating. For a demigod wizard like him, he didn't believe that there was a power in the world that could destroy him in an instant.
After all, it took a lot of effort for powerful gods such as Lansender to clean him up, and the sage who came down was also beaten by him until he vomited blood, and even so, he failed to take his life, all of which made the already somewhat crazy Samast even more arrogant.
Although this arrogance did not make him a complete fool, it did make him look rather arrogant, and he alone was confident that there were few spellcasters in Faeron who could confront him head-on, not to mention that he had brought out almost all the backbone of the Dragon Witch Cult today?
As he got closer to the center of the ruins, the enthusiasm in his heart grew.
"Samast, we're tired and need a break here. β
Breaking through a mystery again, the giant red dragon lich he sat down suggested, "We have lost a lot. β
Samast looked around, although the powerful power allowed them to easily break through more than a dozen layers of puzzles, but the loss was not small, scattered corpses were scattered along the road, the devil who was the pioneer of the road was killed and wounded, and the dark stone giant, who was the auxiliary cannon fodder, also suffered heavy casualties, and released too many spells, most of the dragon witch cultists also showed fatigue.
As the main force to break the locks, the dozen or so dragon lichs accompanying them also seemed to be exhausted, and the already tattered corpses looked even more dilapidated.
Samast nodded, agreeing with the Red Dragon Lich's offer.
They do need a break.
Unlike most of the Cult of Dragons, King Dud, the golem Lich, was full of anticipation and excitement, he had just emerged from the box of his life and was eager for revenge, and the great power of Samast and the Cult of Dragonwitches gave him great hope, and it had been a long time since he had dealt with the gravekeepers of the ruins, and every time he was blocked by this heavy lock, and never before, he was so close to those people.
His back still ached, and the out-of-body stomp of Zissonreshyesa made him remember the mage, and in that moment, Penny's hatred in his heart was higher than all his previous enemies.
Although the dark crypt didn't allow him to see the enemy's face, he knew that if he breached the gravekeeper's lair, he would be able to see that guy again, and this time, Visharon sent him a messenger of vengeance.
He glanced respectfully at Samast above the red dragon, the lich's power that made King Dud feel a war from the depths of his soul, which undoubtedly made him understand that this skeleton-like corpse had far more power than he had imagined: at least much stronger than his enemies in comparison.
This is a vengeful messenger sent by the Juggernaut, and King Dud's faith in Vishalon has become even more devout.
However, there are not too many optimistic people like him, after a busy day, all the dragon witch cultists are somewhat busy, even Samast has a vague uneasiness in his heart, for which he has always been vigilant to maintain the protective spell outside his body, not only because the seemingly endless mysteries make him a little irritable- This is nothing, for a ruin of this level, it is logical to have this level of protection, on the other hand, although he encountered many powerful undead and constructs in the previous ruins, as well as guards such as monsters, the real grave keeper has never appeared, and in addition, a group of people he has tracked have not yet appeared.
The sky above his head was covered with dark clouds, which did not make the Dragon Witch Sect Master feel abnormal, because when he entered this area, he felt the power of the ancient empire's spells, which had greatly affected the weather in this area, although it was in the belly of the mountain, but it could show a realistic change in the sky.
However, Samast suddenly felt something strange, for he hadn't heard the continuous thunder that had been in place since he had entered the ruins.
He immediately got up and set off, retreating beyond the ruins to repair. He stood up and gave the order.
And at the moment when he spoke, there was a sudden darkness in the sky, and a devastating pressure filled the surroundings of Samast in an instant, and at this moment time seemed to condense, and for a moment Samaste's heart was cold.
