355 Siege
Silvermoon City is protected by a mystery all year round, and as a famous magical capital in the Northlands, the magic academy here is well-known, and many wizards in the Northlands, including the Deep Water Society, are from the city's arcane academy.
Ever since the Silvermoon Lady Erasdr gradually ceased to be active, the city's administrators were the ** masters of the Arcane Academy and the leaders of the Silver Knights.
As the head of the Order, Senias Alesa would get up punctually every morning to inspect the defense of the city gates, but as soon as he got up in the morning, he was alarmed by a stir, and without even putting on his armor, he rushed out of the gate with his sword, and the sight before him made his face pale.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless cracks appeared in the mystical protection above the city, and outside the cracks, a thick black fog obscured most of the sky, and the morning light that should have been there did not appear.
Underneath the city walls, a large number of necromantic creatures lined up in a neat line, staring at the guards on the city walls.
"My lord, the city, the city has been attacked!" the sergeant who delivered the message ran to the Knight Captain Alesa out of breath.
"Don't panic, go find the chief wizard and prepare to guard the lock. Alesa waved her hand calmly, her eyes fixed on the black mist above the lock.
The spellcasters in the city had already received the news and rushed to the arcane hub to maintain the maze barrier, and with the operation of the arcane source power, the cracks of the maze lock gradually cemented, and at this moment, the change appeared again.
With the exclamation of a group of guards, a huge shadow peeked out of the black fog in the air.
Alessa's breath froze immediately.
His dilated pupils revealed a huge dragon skull—the bone of this skull was not the gray of ordinary bones, but a metallic black, and a faint silver luster flowed on the surface of these bones, like strings of indescribable magical words.
The skeleton of half of the dragon's body poked out of the black mist, although it was not much larger than the average ancient dragon, but the appearance above this sky made Alesa have the illusion that most of the sky was occupied by it.
"Dragon Lich?" the knight's long pupils shrank, and the pale white phosphorus fire in the black dragon lich's eyes let him know what this bone dragon belonged to.
On the back of the dragon lich, there seemed to be a vague person, he narrowed his eyelids, trying to make his vision clear, but before he could see the clue, the dragon lich let out a long roar, although weakened in the process of passing through the lock, this scream still made many of the Silver Moon Guardians dizzy, Alesa clenched his weapon, and shouted loudly to keep the guards grounded.
High Mage Tarun and the Arcanists maintained the Lost Lock, but as the light released from the Black Dragon Lich's eyes knocked down the Lost Lock's shield, it was as if it had been cut by a sharp knife, and the Lost Lock was cut open with a huge opening.
Several old wizards snorted, rolled their eyes, and fell limply to the ground.
"It's the end of the reptilian ......" A hand carrying the powerful magic power waved across the control hub of the puzzle, and the silver-haired lady with a gorgeous face looked at the sky through the dome, her clear vision could see the figure behind the dragon lich: "...... Samast"
Erasdra Silverhand muttered in a low voice.
Her slender fingers began to tremble slightly, as did the corners of her mouth.
Seeing her make such a move, a cold sweat appeared on the corner of Supreme Mage Talen's forehead: "Madam, what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter, it can't break through here. Erasdra waved his hand, stepped out of the hall, stepped into the square in the center of the city, raised his head, and frowned at the dragon lich in the sky: "Dogosus, you have fallen into the minions of this madman, with your wisdom, you should not make such a mistake." ”
The last reptile stared at Lady Silvermoon condescendingly, and without making the slightest reply, a loud laugh came out from behind him: "Ha, who is this? Lady Silvermoon? My former beloved, you don't need to say much, he is already willing to work for my great purpose, and from today onwards, it is the first step for the Immortal Dragon to complete the conquest of Feron." ”
More than a dozen dragon corpses with phosphorus eyes flew out of the black mist, their necks in chains, the other end hanging from Dogosos's body, and higher in the sky, several dragon lichs hovered in the clouds.
"Somast, you're incorrigible. Erasdra sighed, quietly looking at his former companion and lover through the gap in Dogosos's skeleton: "But even the last reptile can't help you fulfill your ambitions, you can't get in." ”
Designed by the remnant wizards of Myth Drowno, the Silvermoon City's Lost Locks are very sturdy and famous throughout the continent of Faeron.
"Not necessarily, Erastro, look at the new treasure I found. Samast laughed and dropped an object from the sky, and Erasdr's eyes narrowed, trying to discern the object's appearance—a small colorless, transparent crystal rod that shimmered brightly, and the moment he touched the Lock, Erasdra's face changed dramatically.
Because as the range of light released by this crystal expanded, the range of the mystical lock seemed to be melted away, and with just one breath, the barrier in the sky above was reduced by one-fifth.
"So what?" Samast triumphantly retrieved the crystal—he had not only obtained the location of the ancient ruins from the minds of the two Imasca apostles, but also the mysterious key from the ancient empire.
He was intrigued by Isil Aaron's existence, but now he was using the key's magical effects.
This made Silvermoon City's mystery fragile in front of him.
Seeing Erasdra's face change drastically, he smirked and drove Dogosos and the dragons to dive into the Locked Hollow.
The city, which had a special meaning for the former Samaste and brought him so much joy and pain, was about to be destroyed under his hands!
He smirked again.
However, as Dogosus's body was imprisoned by a powerful force field that suddenly appeared, his smile shrank back.
The lock was restored to its original at some point.
Erasdra looked back and was greatly relieved to see Leila Silverhand nodding to him on the steps.
At this time, the mages of Waterdeep City arrived.
"Somast? is this...... The last reptilian?" looked up at the huge black dragon lich that had broken free from the lock and returned to the sky again, and Lyra's face changed.
Of course, she knew the power of this dragon lich, and if it had been subdued by Samast, then in terms of head-on combat, I am afraid that there were not many guys in the entire multiverse who could be their opponents.
However, experienced people like her naturally do not show weakness in words: "You guys actually got together? Listen, don't try to mess around here, Sarmaste, you won't be proud for long." ”
"Not long to be proud?" Samaste's expression darkened at the sight of Leila's appearance.
Waterdeep's timely arrival made his plan to quickly break through and destroy Silvermoon City less feasible, and the Silvermoon Locks were much stronger than he expected.
With the power of the last reptilian and Samast, there would be no problem in killing these two electors, even if there was a large group of mages and silver knights, it would not take much more effort, but with this layer of puzzle, everything was very different.
He really needed to admit that he didn't have what it took to break through Silvermoon City in the current situation.
So the bodies of Dogosus and the dragons disappeared into the black mist again, and the black mist flew away and soon disappeared into the sky, but the grim laughter of Samast still surrounded the ears of Lyra and Eraszar, as if to remind them that with the power of the Last Reptiles, few people on this continent could stop him.
"Leila, I'm in trouble this time......" It wasn't until Samast's army disappeared from view for a long time that Erasdron let out a long breath, closed his eyes slightly, and raised his right hand to rub his temples: "The end of the reptilian ...... Samast ......"
Although Samast was able to retreat with her sturdy locks, she never thought that all troubles would end there.
Silvermoon City can get away with protection from the disaster, but the vast majority of Faeron's cities, in the face of this powerful team, the consequences are not optimistic.
This group of necromantic creatures, wherever they appear, will cause a calamity of destruction.
"Harpist, Moonstar, Mage Guild, Lansendel Church...... Gather all the power we can muster, Erastro. Leila clenched her fists and looked at her seriously, "We have to fight, we have to stop him, just like before." ”
Erastro nodded equally solemnly, there was no doubt that Samast had to be stopped.
This time it can make him retreat, but what about next time?
Her expression became even lower, and her tone was equally heavy: "Well, you have to move quickly." ”
She nodded, thinking about the course of action, thinking of certain questions, and her eyebrows curled slightly: "However, we need to know his whereabouts first." ”
"Where?" Leila's face changed as well.
This is a very serious question, the combination of Samast and the Last Reptiles, which are extremely destructive, plus a large group of necromantic dragons, will cause great disasters wherever they appear, so of course the sooner they are eradicated, the better, gather enough manpower, and after discussing the plan, we must act as soon as possible.
Therefore, it is extremely important to know the whereabouts of Samast.
So where is the leader of the Dragon Witch Cult going?
Riding on the broad spine of Dogosus, Samast looked at the crystal in his hand and began to groan.
After experimenting, he knew that the crystal in his hand was a rare treasure, and since seeing the ruins of the ancient empire, he suddenly became very interested in some of Imasca's legacy.
The important thing is that whether it is an ancient evil object with infinite power or the treasure corresponding to the key in his hand, it can help him complete his revenge on his enemies, even if it is just this key, it will almost help him break through Silvermoon City.
"The key?" The information squeezed out of the heads of the two deep Imaska apostles was limited, and in order to keep it secret, the prophet Eliskendain didn't even tell Hosis the name of the key, and now Samast only knew that this key, which had strange powers, could open a treasure, and this treasure could complete the revival of Imasca.
Regardless of the ambition of Imaska's revival, the Lich will not fight to the death for an empire that has nothing to do with him, he only cares about the power of the Key itself and the possible wealth in the ruins.
Especially now, he thinks that as long as he finds a few more keys, it will be stronger enough to break through the mysteries of Silvermoon City...... It can even break through all of Faeron's well-guarded realms...... "The key is divided into six parts, and the two idiots have one in their hands, and according to their memories, there is a green one in the Netherworld City, and two more ......" Samast stared at the crystal and muttered, "In the hands of that wizard...... The Staff of the Seven Laws, well, there is still an account that has not been calculated with him......"
The two silver flames in his eye sockets jumped, he put away the crystals, and tapped the last reptile with his cane, and the white phosphorus fire extinguished at the dragon lich's skull ignited again, raised its neck high, and waved its wings in a scream.
A moment later, a cloud of black mist drifted in a southeasterly direction.
At this time, the end of Penny's arcane research was nearing the end of the West Gate.
