Chapter 22: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Not long after, two more old gnomes entered the hall, and after saluting the dwarf patriarch and making a brief report, they consciously stepped aside.
"The Dark Elf Warrior already has some strength, and with the Tree of Life as a backing, it is normal to be able to find a means to resist illusions. Let's do what Jihua does!" the dwarf patriarch listened to the report of the two elders, and there was silence for a while, and Zuihou said in a deep voice. After saying that, he sighed again and comforted the three elders softly: "There is sacrifice, there can be gain!
The three elders standing on the side were silent for a while, and although they rationally agreed with the Jihua proposed by the patriarch, they still couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts. Zuihou, led by the Great Elder, slowly withdrew from the hall and walked towards the city wall.
When the elders returned, the warriors on the walls of the gnomes were still in a state of confusion as they vomited each other. Under the congestion of the gnome warriors, the dark elves could not get down the city wall, and could only follow the gnome warriors and continue to kill.
The third elder looked at the dwarf warriors who were constantly being killed on the city wall, and sighed in a low voice, "I hope this is right!" Then he turned around, walked to an inconspicuous corner, pressed hard against the wall, and a dark grid appeared on the wall. Looking at this dark grid, he took out a crystal magic crystal, and after hesitating for a while, he still resolutely pressed the crystal into it.
A faint wave of magic power came from within the wall, and the three elders didn't stay any longer, turning around and returning to the center of the stone city. The war here is naturally managed by corresponding personnel, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all. He had only taken a few steps when a loud roar erupted from the walls behind him. After a pause, he didn't look back, and still walked forward.
Now there is only a stump and severed arm left on the city wall, and all the dark elf warriors on the city wall have been destroyed. The dwarf warriors also suffered heavy losses, and only a small part of the distance from the blast site survived the violent blast impact.
At the same time, there were huge explosions on the other two walls, obliterating all the Dark Elves who attacked the walls along with most of the gnome warriors.
Seeing the actions of the three dwarf elders, Owen, who was stealthily peeping, also praised sincerely: "Ruthless enough!"
In fact, Owen had already discovered what the gnomes were doing on the city walls. They actually carved a large number of special magic runes into the floor tiles of the city wall, and also placed a large number of magic crystals. The main function of these runes is to attract the energy in the magic crystal, so that the magic energy in it bursts out in a very short time.
These runes are the essence of the dwarf civilization, which has been accumulated by generations of dwarf ancestors through continuous shiyan, regardless of their own safety. This is also the main reason why the dwarf clan was able to successfully develop the magic guide cannon.
"These runes are good! With runes to communicate energy, you can also construct something similar to a magic array. ”
His eyes were infused with divine power, and Owen looked at the runes remaining on the city wall and the runes on the magic cannon, and the godhead quickly deduced. In the end, because there were not enough runes, a complete rune system could not be constructed. He didn't care, he just continued to make in-depth deductions from the known runes and dig into their essence.
"The essence of everything is really above the law!"
After in-depth deduction, although Aowen did not really get the mystery of the rune, he also discovered that the rune infused with energy had a certain connection with the laws of the void. Now his accumulation is not enough, his comprehension of the law is too little, and he can't see through the changes of the laws in the void. The Three Thousand Laws are interconnected, and as long as he comprehends the Law of Dreams to a certain level, he will be able to observe the changes of other laws.
Now he can't see through the essence, and Owen is not in a hurry, and continues to watch the war between the two clans.
Under the city wall, the Great Elder of the Dark Elves' face turned pale, and his heart was even more compassionate, and he ordered loudly: "All attack!"
The dwarfs used their hands and feet on the city walls, directly obliterating a small half of the Dark Elf warriors. But the energy in the magic crystal is very unstable, and after this explosion, there can be no remnants, let alone another one. Therefore, as long as the dark elf side attacks again, while the dwarf warriors have not stopped rioting and occupies the city wall, they can win the victory of Zuihou.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, get back to your place!"
The dark elves took advantage of the situation to attack, and the gnome warriors were not stupid, and the captains of each squad also began to shout, pulling the powerful gnome warriors back to the city wall. But after the explosion of the walls, how can the dwarf warriors stand on the walls with peace of mind, and how can they outperform the angry dark elves?
Before the gnome warriors could return to their respective positions, the dark elves had already climbed the walls again.
Although the dwarf warriors have a weapon with extremely low physical requirements, such as a hand cannon, they still lack a lot of reaction speed. The time it takes for a dwarf warrior to activate a hand cannon is enough for the Dark Elves to kill him a dozen times.
Faced with the butcher's knife of the Dark Elf warrior, the dwarf warrior collapsed again. This time it collapsed faster and more completely. Because they vomited among themselves, they were also a little angry, and they didn't even care about their companions to use all kinds of means to squeeze under the city wall. As a result, the dwarf warriors collided and trampled on each other, and the casualties skyrocketed.
The Third Elder, who had not yet walked far, turned around with a sad face and looked at the crumbling dwarf on the city wall. He fixed himself for a while, but the situation on the city wall mountain was becoming more and more chaotic.
The defeat of the dwarf clan is decided!
Zuihou, the third elder entered the hall in the center of the stone city with a pale face, and the other two elders came back at the same time as him. The pale faces of the three of them had clearly informed the dwarf patriarch of the situation outside.
The dwarf patriarch's face no longer had any brilliance, and he was extremely haggard. He stood up suddenly, a hideous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Dark elves! Hmph! How can it be so easy to destroy my dwarf clan? There will be a day when it will be repaid!"
He reached out and twisted the armrest of the chair, and the seat slowly slid back, revealing a secret passage that only the gnomes could pass through.
"Let's go, infinite wisdom has forged the glory of our people. These humiliations will be returned in the future!"
The dwarf patriarch and the three elders entered the secret passage and went straight underground. Through a long passageway, the four of them came to a large underground hall. There are already thousands of dwarf women and children in this hall! Of course, there are a handful of elite dwarf warriors.
This is the gnome patriarch Jihua. In technical terms, it is "the golden cicada shedding its shell"! After the defeat is decided, the death of most of the dwarf warriors is exchanged for the lives of most of the dwarf women and young children, and then another place is found to make a comeback. The explosion on the city wall is only one part of Jihua's delay.
