Chapter 7: Lost Guard

"What is that, what is that?" Ling pointed at a small animal running over the grass while shouting excitedly. Fortunately, her level has changed like me now, and her attack power is not as high as it was at the beginning!

"That's a mouse!" I hung my head weakly. "This is the 3000th thing you asked me! Please, let me go!"

"But don't you know!" Ling held the index finger of his right hand and looked at me with a innocent and cute look, making me feel ruthless!

"Although you haven't come out of the Dark Temple, you have to see something, right? How did you grow up?"

"Since they were born, they had never left the temple. Those fools (the Dark Sacrifice and the Knight of Death) always let me decide this and that. It seems that they don't know anything and ask me to help them decide everything! So I have never stepped out of the temple! Let's not talk about these things, I can't recognize even the dark creatures!"

"I didn't say it!" What else can I complain about such a person?

Ling suddenly became excited again. "Look at what is in the sky? What is it? So many! It's so fun!"

I looked up in confusion and saw a large area of ​​black things flying overwhelmed. These things flew very high and were very fast, and I didn't recognize what they were. At Ling's begging, I turned on the telescope of the star pupil, and a group of big birds quickly entered my sight. These creatures with golden feathers also had a lion's body. Isn't this a griffin? How could so many griffin appear here? It is said that this is the territory of the Dark Temple, and griffin belongs to the light-type demon pet, because it was not that I had flew in by myself without intention, and such a large number was not normal.

I increased the magnification of the star pupils, and the griffin was still riding a knight in silver armor. Fucking this isn't the garrison in the main city of the system? According to their current speed and direction, their destination should be... Lost City?

These guys actually sneaked into the Lost City! They were not satisfied with the sweeping Aisinger and the others! Before I could think too much, I directly turned the teleportation ring to the Lost City, summoning the Demon Knight and Ling. "Sgot, do you know my eldest brother Clark?"

"know!"

"Go and tell him that the Temple of Light has sent troops to attack the Lost City!"

"Yes!" Sgot rolled over and ran away.

"Come with me!" I took the rest of the people to the training boomerang training station that day. The training station was not far from the teleportation station, and we arrived soon.

Ye Ying rushed too fast. After I arrived at the training center, I jumped off the horse with inertia. As a result, I ran too fast. I didn't step on it and was dressed up in the last few steps. As a result, I flew out like this and knocked open the door and fell into the hall. "Hurry... hurry up...! Miluo troops, please pay attention. The Temple of Light has sent troops to attack here,... They want to attack you, hurry up and ask people to defend!"

The Miluo troops, who were training, were stunned when they heard my words. One of them might have been the leader and quickly ran over and helped me up. "How do you know?"

"I saw their vanguard on the road! They were all griffins, about tens of thousands!"

The leading knight immediately shouted to the back: "I heard it all, the Mikaku troops were in their seats. The Lost City entered a state of war!"

The Misulo troops rushed out and ran towards all directions of the city. I quickly ran to Clark, and Sgot was standing at the door.

"Tell him?"

"Tell me, Clark has left to inform others and let me wait for you here. Clark said you wait for him in his store and don't run around."

"Oh! OK, I understand!" I brought the demon knights and Ling into the store, but doing this is not a solution.

I jumped directly from the window to the roof of Clark's shop. Standing on the top of the three-story building, I could probably see a large area in the city. I suddenly felt an evil power being strengthened. Looking along the feeling, the eyes of the Hell Eyes located on the tower in the center of the city were actually entering my sight! The originally closed Hell Eyes are slowly opening, and the powerful evil power is gradually increasing.

About a minute later, the Eye of Hell was finally opened completely, and a golden beam of light shot out directly from the Eye of Hell, and the beam was searching for something in the air like a searchlight.

"What are you doing on it?" Clark, who had already rushed back, saw me standing on the roof of his room on the street.

"I'm watching how you prepare for war. I'm going to build a city soon, and I have to learn all these things!"

"Then you come down! Come and see with me on the city wall!"

"Is that OK? That's great!" I jumped down from the roof with excitement, and the Demon Knight and Ling immediately followed.

Follow Clark all the way to the city walls, and on the way, they saw all the families in the Lost City running out in armored knights and robed mages. "Clark! Is the Lost City the whole people have soldiers?"

"Absolutely! Those who live in the lost are old undead, and they have some skills in combat, so they go together when fighting!"

"sharp!"

We soon arrived on the city wall, and a large number of knights and mages were still running towards the city wall. I was placed in an arrow tower on the city wall (similar to the beacon tower on the Great Wall). It was taller and had a good view. After Clark settled me, he ran away and disappeared, so I had to watch it on the tower.

More than a dozen cannons have risen in the Blackwater Lake outside the Lost City. The magic crystal cannons on the cannon are still dripping water. It seems that they have just risen. I suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon. It turned out that the Eye of Hell is actually the fire control and command system of these cannons. Wherever the golden light of the Eye of Hell shines, the cannon guns will follow.

Suddenly I heard a strange sound behind me. When I looked back, I saw a small door open on the top of the tower in the center of the city. Countless gargoyles rushed out in a dense line. There was an air force in the Lost City. The first time I saw it!

Before the noise in the rear ended, the sound of water came from the Black Water Lake in front. One by one, vortexes appeared in the center of the lake. The vortex began to move gradually to the shore. When it touched the shore, a hole began to appear in the center of the vortex. The black lake water was thrown to the periphery due to the high-speed rotation, and the hole in the center became a passage......Boom...Boom...Boom.... The neat sound of troops marching came from the lake surface, and teams of monsters lined up in neat rows.

I don't know what was coming out. These guys stand on two legs like humans, but their legs are inverted, just like bird joints! Monsters nearly two meters tall look like a standing locust! They actually have more than one hand, their upper limbs are like awls, and their tips are flashing with cold light! As for their heads, they are even more scary. The four fangs on their mouths sticking outside show that they are all carnivorous.

This kind of monster was still emerging in the vortex in front. At the same time, many passages suddenly opened on the top of the city wall, and huge wooden tools were raised. I was surprised to find that the thing was actually a trencher, not an ordinary trencher, but a super huge winch trencher. This trencher that relies on the power of gears can throw a stone as big as an elephant seven or eight kilometers away. You can imagine how destructive it is.

Just after the catapult was in place, the soldiers finally took their place. A guy in red armor walked up to the city gate. I saw Clark standing next to him. I guess he was a big man! The vortex on the lake in front had disappeared, and there were thousands of troops (monsters) who drove out in just a few minutes.

The red-armored figure on the city gate said something to the side, but because it was too far away, I didn't hear it. But soon I knew what he was saying! The long stone bridge connecting the city and the shore on the lake slowly sank into the lake! The mechanism of the Lost City is really comprehensive, and the company-leading bridge can be lifted and lowered!

Almost a few minutes after the army was ready, a continuous black spot finally appeared in the sky in the distance. I knew it was a griffin team! The griffin speed was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the griffin had reached a distance visible to the naked eye. The golden light emitted by the eyes of hell behind him suddenly became stronger, and a golden light shot directly into the griffin group in the sky. Then the magic crystal cannons in the lake raised their heads and pointed the cannon barrels into the sky.

Boom! I only heard a loud noise, and more than a dozen magic crystal cannons fired at the same time. The base of each cannon was squirming around at the same time, which was caused by the vibration of the cannon. A row of shells flew into the griffin team, and the flexible griffin began to dodge, but their number was too large and too dense, and each shell almost killed a piece of griffin.

The golden light suddenly flashed and turned into more than a dozen lights, each of which pointed to a specific position in the griffin formation, and the magic crystal cannon also began to fire at their respective targets. I curiously looked at the griffin pointed at one of the lights with the star eyes. I wanted to know what the difference was between the griffin designated by the Eye of Hell and other griffins.

After looking at it, I suddenly found that the designated griffin was carrying two people! In addition to the griffin knight in front, there was actually a mage behind it! Is there anything special about these mages? Why did the Eye of Hell specify the Magic Crystal Cannon to kill these targets first?

According to the guidance, the magic crystal cannon was still constantly attacking the griffin with the mage. It seems that there is no possibility for the griffin brigade to occupy the Lost City. The strength of the ground troops is much stronger than them! Are all the guys in the Temple of Light all fools? Is there such a small number of griffin trying to occupy the Lost City?

My doubts did not last long. The griffin brigade quickly crossed the forest and entered the sky above the mass griffin. All the griffins with mages began to land one after another. The army of locusts outside the Lost City (it looked so elephant!) suddenly began to rush towards the griffin brigade that landed. The griffins that did not carry mages in the sky lowered their heights and began to attack the locusts that rushed up. It was obvious that the locusts were not the opponents of griffins, but they were relatively large, and they did not seem to plan to compete with griffins. The locusts rushed directly through the griffin blockade and rushed to the mages who had been put down behind. This made me even more convinced that these mages have important significance. The locust army of locusts in the Lost City would not attack these mages aimlessly!

The locusts were very fast. Although the griffins tried their best to intercept, they seemed to have poor results. A large number of locusts rushed past the griffins' interception team and approached the mages. As soon as the mages landed, they began to draw something on the ground, and they had no reaction to the locusts rushing up behind them. But the locusts didn't care about it, and the locusts that rushed in front of them immediately began to slaughter the mages. Many mages were killed halfway through the drawing. The magic crystal cannons did not stop during this period, and they were also bombarding the mages' team, but many griffins used their bodies to block the shells. The cannons had no effect except for causing a large number of casualties for the griffins.

I suddenly heard the sound of Dangdang Dangdang, like the sound that was made when the rope was about to break. I retracted my eyes and found that it was the catapult that was winding! Wong! A muffled air vibration sound, a catapult fired. A huge stone bullet flew out with a huge wind sound. The roughly processed stone can basically be considered round. The huge speed of the stone bullet started to roll and rush forward after it landed on the ground. Of course, their target was also a mage!

The griffins in the sky are not suitable for resisting the rolling stones on the ground. Even if they want to sacrifice themselves, it is useless. Stones of this quality will not stop even if they flatten dozens of griffins! The effect of stones is better than cannons. A large number of mages were smashed into meat paste. The only disadvantage is that many locusts were also flattened along the way!

Under the coordinated combat of locusts, magic crystal cannons and catapults, the mage team suffered heavy losses. But after losing more than 70% of the mages, a mage suddenly completed his work. Now I can see clearly what it is! In a circle with a diameter of seven or eight meters, there is a hexagonal star. Now the thing is shining with blue and white light. Fools know that it is a magic circle, and the only possibility of setting up a magic circle here is to teleport the army!

As soon as I guessed the answer, I saw the magic circle on the edge of the forest shining, and teams of cavalry rushed out. The mage who had drawn the magic circle laughed and wiped the sweat from his head with the mage's robe. As soon as he turned around, a spike pierced his body and sent him to heaven. The locust that killed the magician had not had time to pull out his cone arm, was cut by the knight who rushed out of the magic circle with one knife!

Other magic circles next to them were completed one after another, and white light flashed into a circle, and the cavalry legion of the brigade surged out of the magic circle like a flood.

This will be an eye-opener. It turns out that the real city battle is not to drive a large number of troops to the opponent's city, but to directly carry a large number of space magicians to the opponent's city by the fast speed and strong penetration ability to prepare to teleport the magic circle! Our players are still in the era of hiking attacks, and we are really behind with these super NPCs!

When the large army rushed out of the recitation formation, the locusts also lost their function. The cavalry was one-sided to deal with these locusts. In a short while, the cavalry cleaned the locusts. A giant catapult suddenly drove out of the magic circle behind, a large number of ladder trucks and something that I had never seen was similar to a square box with wheels.

As soon as the ladder truck drove out, it started running back. It was probably because the Lost City had an overly wide moat, so the ladder was not used for the time being. The catapult was quickly pulled away, and some engineering troops began to load stone bullets on the catapult. I suddenly saw a rock bullet flying up and flew towards the city.

Seeing that the track of the stone bomb should have crossed the city wall and fell into the city, but suddenly a golden beam of light from the Eye of Hell illuminated the stone bomb. With a bang, a magic crystal cannon shell hit the stone bomb flying in the air and smashed the stone bomb. Then the second and third stone bombs were launched, and the Eye of Hell illuminated these stone bombs respectively. The Magic Crystal Cannon fired alternately and actually intercepted the stone bombs. However, as the catapults unfolded more and more stone bombs, the Magic Crystal Cannon was gradually overwhelmed!

I was wondering why the catapult did not attack the magic crystal cannon in the Lost City first, a stone bullet hit a magic crystal cannon. However, the stone bullet was smashed and fell into the lake, and the magic crystal ran without any trouble! Otherwise, the catapult would not attack the cannon and attack the city wall!

The square box with wheels in the rear began to move towards the lake. The Eye of Hell suddenly gave up the intercepting stone bullets and pointed at the square boxes. But unfortunately, a large number of mages supported magic shields in front of this thing. The magic crystal shells could only penetrate a few layers of shields and had no power. Although each cannon could kill several mages, they could never do that box!

The boxes were finally pushed to the lake, but the soldiers behind did not seem to be planning to stop. They kept pushing the thing into the lake. After the soldiers pushed the thing into the water, a strange sound suddenly made in the lake. Small vortexes appeared in front of the square boxes.

"How do you feel?" Clark suddenly appeared behind me.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing to the square box.

Clark said without even looking at it: "That is the water absorber, the most advanced product of the Golden Practitioner. The thing relies on magic crystal as power, and there is a water-based magic array and a space-based magic array. The water-based magic array will constantly suck nearby water into the car, and the space-based magic array will transmit the water out, so that the water in the moat can be drained!"

"So amazing? Isn't this black water lake in Lost City sucked dry soon?"

"It is certain to suck dry, but this lake is not a moat after all, and it will take some time to completely suck dry. We just hope that more enemies can be eliminated during this period."

"Then do you let them suck like this?"

"You have also seen that they have so many layers of magic shields, and we can't do anything about it!"

As we were talking, the enemy's griffin in the sky suddenly rushed towards the city. A large number of gargoyles here immediately met, and the air forces on both sides fought in the air. The dark wizards in the Lost City here began to use the life forbidden zone in the air. The life forbidden zone is a long-term large-area magic. Its main function is to form magic vortexes in a certain area to absorb vitality. Moreover, as long as it is not dispersed by the light magic, it can last for a long time. Even if the releaser has already died, the magic will remain until the time limit will disappear.

Because magic is judged automatically by attack, the gargoyles are not affected by magic. Instead, the griffins are in great danger. Some griffins fall from time to time in the sky, and of course the gargoyles also suffer a slight loss!

"Be careful!" Clark pushed me away, and a gargoyle fell to the place where I was standing just now and broke into pieces. The gargoyle was transformed from a stone. It would turn into a stone when it died or rested. Now, after being beaten to death, it would of course be smashed.

Ling from behind clapped happily: "This is the first time I have seen such a spectacular war! It's so great!"

Clark whispered to my ear and said, "Where did you get this girl? Why do I look so familiar?"

I also whispered into his ear: "She is the former Dark Goddess!"

"Your Highness of the Goddess?" Clark couldn't help but scream.

"I'm not anymore!" Ling was still watching the battle below, and did not look back at all. "The temple is now under the jurisdiction of my sister Ah Ni!"

Clark put his right hand on his chest and bowed 45 degrees. "No matter what, you used to be the goddess of darkness, you must have the necessary politeness and good things!"

"Okay, OK, I'm just a retired goddess, don't have so much politeness! Ah! Look, the lake is gone!"

I looked over the sound. The lake water did go down a lot, but it had not been sucked dry. Many huge eel-like creatures on the dry lake bed were twisting on the ground. As for the remaining area of ​​the lake, there were many sharp-toothed heads exposed outside. As the lake water further dropped, these things with big heads finally appeared. These creatures that looked like plesiosaurs. The difference is that their heads are bigger. Moreover, they obviously have good teeth, so their appetite is also good, so their bodies are on the list.

To eat Mamaxiang, one of them was not careful, and a monster bit a water pump on his mouth. Perhaps he was very unhappy about the thing that snatched away the water. The monsters rushed up to attack the water pump. However, the monsters had turtle-like limbs, so swimming was definitely nothing to say, and it was too slow to run away! Most of the water pumps ran back safely, but the cavalry who rushed up to cover were in trouble. The attack power of this thing seemed to be no worse than that of the dragon clan. He picked up a knight and threw it away and flew away!

"These are not guards of the Lost City, aren't they?" I saw that although these monsters attacked the coalition forces, they did not look like planned troops, they seemed to vent their anger!

"These are the indigenous people in the lake, and we don't care that they are just used as guards in the lake!"

"No wonder!"

Although the monsters below were strong, they could not resist many people. The knights divided the monsters in a few seconds! The drained lake was completely fucked, and even the mud was sucked dry and turned into hard land. The siege cart and ladder truck were finally pushed up. The magic crystal cannons built in the lake were demolished by the cavalry in front of them. As a result, the magic crystal cannons exploded one after another, and even pulled a large amount of money to carry on the back before dying!

The battle for the city walls officially began, and the troops rushing to the city were densely packed like a flood. This scene was really spectacular. Although the number of people participating in the battle now is only 1 million (the coalition forces are 900,000, and less than 100,000 lost), it is so spectacular to pry out the 900,000 army in such a narrow place!

Although the magic crystal cannon was destroyed, the work of the Eye of Hell was not over. A golden column of lightning shot straight to the clouds, and lightning suddenly began to begin in the sky. The dripping raindrops suddenly began to fall down one by one. I reached out and took it, and it was not rain but blood!

The cavalrymen who had already been blessed with blood were poured, and the colorful magic on their bodies disappeared immediately! The cavalry who had lost their glory reduced their combat capabilities a lot. The cavalry who rushed to the ladder and rode their horses directly on the ladder and rushed up the city wall (this ladder car is not the kind in ancient times, but the ladder car like the airport, with straight stairs).

The cavalry who rushed up the city wall was immediately strangled by the Misuo troops on the city wall. Because the Misuo troops had few death knights, they were all arranged near the cloud ladder, and they could easily defend the vicinity of the cloud ladder with the outstanding single combat capability.

A large tool suddenly teleported out from the back of the other party. I could tell at a glance that it was a siege hammer. The thing was like a swing, but there was a whole large copper pillar hanging below. Clark shouted at several trenchers around him: "Drive off the other party's project hammer!"

The catapult immediately changed the target, but the opponent's mage once again supported the shield to resist them. No matter what, it was to send the siege hammer to the city to victory. The dark mages on the city wall kept throwing large-scale lethal magic at the crowd below, but unfortunately there were too many people and it seemed that they could not kill them all!
To be continued...
