Chapter 1309 The setting sun is setting

On the border of the strip plains south of the Dark Mountains, on the magnificent wall position, the Cecils were responsible for, and in front of the huge gap formed after the destruction of Sentinel Tower No. 98, a new barrier that was not as tall as the magnificent wall, but still thrilling, has risen from the ground.

It was a living forest, transformed from a large number of vine roots that drilled from the ground.

Nowadays, the strong and tall towering tree with predation has formed a solid barrier on the edge of the wasteland, withstood the most fierce attacks from the impact of distortions and various mutant monsters. Its coverage range spread from the defense line of the Cecilians to the barrier gap faced by the Tifeng people. Some of the "predation areas" have even touched the Tifeng position. The terrifying giant vines and the soldiers on the defense line opened on the earth are frightened, and even caused a small chaos in some areas. But in any case, these "fighting plants" that drilled out of the soil have saved the shaky defense line.

The barrier gap that was completely opened due to the destruction of Sentinel Tower No. 98 has been blocked. A considerable part of the tide of monsters that have swarmed out has become food for the living forest. The remaining monsters are also panicked in the face of this sudden blow and fled around. The limited "discipline" they presented before has also returned to chaos. Andesha doesn't know whether this is because monsters will also feel fear or because the command node behind them has died or fled the battlefield. She only knows one thing

Losing the constraints of discipline, the distorted creatures that flee in chaos have returned to the ranks of "monsters", and monsters... are only worthy of being hunted and slaughtered by the army.

A nameless ridge extending obliquely into the wasteland, the legion-level casting position arranged by the Tifeng magician regiment began to operate. The magic power buzzed in the air, and the majestic energy lit up the entire mountain. Under the dim and chaotic sky light, layers of magic auras and complex rune structures rose over the positions and connected. The cluster casting technology that Tifeng masters were best at was fully displayed at this moment.

The overwhelming rain of fire fell, mixed with lightning or ice cones that kept jumping on the ground, and thick arcane energy rays kept bursting out from the top of the mountain, accurately killing the giant aberrant monsters mixed in the group of monsters (the Cecils called it "giant bodies", and some soldiers called it directly "giant beasts"). The continuous burst of magic shocks shocked the entire mountain range, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the air being decomposed by magic.

After losing command, the monsters no longer know how to cooperate, neither cover up the firepower units in them, nor find cover or divert them, and use magic to bomb such "enemy" on the commanding heights... For Tifeng's magician regiment, it is simple like burning ants on the ground.

Andesha Wendell let out a soft sigh, but while relaxing, she did not let herself lose her judgment.

The situation has only improved in part, and the overall situation of this battlefield is still bad. Although the first wave of monsters that surged out are about to be wiped out, the damage they caused has already torn a huge hole in the Tifeng position. Many brave and precious knights lost their lives in the previous impact to cover the casting position, and the communication lines on the battlefield have also been severely damaged. More importantly... the "malfunction" of the magnificent wall itself has not yet been restored.

Under the magic light that kept rising from the ridge, Anderssa's eyes could not help but turn to Sentinel Tower No. 99 on the other side of the ridge and Sentinel Tower No. 100 on the farther side, the two towers were not destroyed as distorted targets like No. 98. However, their condition was not optimistic at all. The low whistling sound kept coming from the base and main body of the tower. It was the overwhelming sob of the shield projection mechanism after the energy system failure. The dim streaming light had disappeared from the main surface of the tower, and around the two towers, the projected shields were as thin as paper.

The main force of the distorted army has begun to retreat from the entire defense line, but there are still a large number of uncontrolled chaos monsters approaching the gradually extinguished magnificent wall driven by instinctively. Those chaotic monsters are more dull and blind than the distorted ones. Their shallow intelligence is even lacking in the thought of "fear" and "survival", but their destructive power is still powerful and terrible. Now there are loopholes everywhere on the magnificent wall, and the existing forces of the Winter Wolf Legion cannot block all monsters passing through the barrier.

What's worse than this is that the entire Tifeng Empire borders Gondor wasteland, which is not only a northern defense line, but also on the border line extending southwest to the empire... the garrison forces there are far weaker than this "forward fortress", and even the defenders there can never imagine that the magnificent wall would collapse in front of their eyes.

Andesha believed that no matter which section of the empire's long border, the soldiers stationed in the local area would bravely defend the people and homes behind them. The aberrant monsters that rushed out of the wasteland would face stubborn resistance on all borders. Aldernan would react immediately after receiving the report from the front line. The National Knights, the Royal Magicians and even the Obsidian Imperial Forces who were left behind were sent to the front line to block the enemy. But before that, before the offensive of those out-of-control monsters was truly stopped... how many blood of the Tifeng people would be dried up, and how many cities and villages would be completely destroyed?

Andesa held the knight sword in her hand tightly, and for a moment she didn't dare to imagine the terrible scenes that were about to happen in her hometown as the magnificent wall was completely extinguished. She just widened her eyes and stared at the sentinel towers that were shining with faint light in the distance. Then she suddenly discovered... the chaotic light flow on the surface of the tower seemed to be gradually returning to the order of the past, and the energy barriers that were constantly thinning around the tower suddenly stopped the extinguishing momentum and began to become solid again.

"General! General!" The voice of a subordinate suddenly came from not far away. The young man with a slightly dark skin stumbled on the mountain road covered with gravel, yelling loudly while rushing towards Andersha, "General! The Sentinel Tower has been restarted! The barrier in our southern part is slowly repairing! Monster... Monsters are blocked!"

"I saw it," Andesha immediately calmed the angry young officer in a calm tone. She turned her eyes to the Sentinel Tower in the distance and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Silver Elf has finally stabilized the situation... What happened in the south of the mainland? Can we contact the coalition forces of the Silver Empire or the Gaoling Kingdom now?"

"Not yet, General," the young officer was stunned for a moment and shook his head immediately. "The magnificent wall has not been fully restored, and our communications have been severely disturbed. We still cannot hear the signals from the southern part of the mainland..."

"Then keep keeping the call," Andersha said quickly, "at the same time, we also maintain contact with Cecil Camp. I have a bad premonition... The restart of the Sentinel Tower cannot completely solve the problem. This ancient barrier has suffered irreversible damage. Sentinel Tower No. 98 has collapsed, and the Sentinel Tower in other areas is likely to be completely destroyed. Even if the silver elves restart the barrier, those completely destroyed nodes cannot stand up out of thin air... This war has just begun."

...

The blood-like sunset splashed on the edge of the forest filled with smoke. The rolling smoke kept rising from the jungles and valleys in the distance. Huge pillars of smoke penetrated the world under the sunset, and a pungent aura filled the sky, as if the whole world was slowly ignited, as if the power of destruction was gradually gnawing on the entire earth.

In the Temple of Stars, there was no sound of shouting and killing on the distant ground. However, the roar of the ancient magic array fired still tear the sky through time and time, shaking the earth. The towering and ancient Temple of Stars slowly passed through the sky like a mountain flying in the sky. On the side of the Temple of Stars, the originally gorgeous and exquisite palace walls have been opened. After the decorative cover was abandoned, the casting mechanism hidden in it began to constantly sprinkle destructive flames and lightning on the earth.

However, while splashing these powerful attacks, these ancient facilities were disintegrating and destruction one by one, and explosions continued to sound from all over the temple of stars. Some magic matrices even self-destructed before firing. The rolling smoke not only rose from the earth, but also rose from all over the anti-gravity fortress floating in the sky.

Several huge arcs suddenly rose from the ground that turned into a war zone, tearing the thick smoke from the sky and the earth, and hitting a anti-gravity engine at the bottom of the Star Temple. The shield that should have been lit up in time failed to react. In a huge explosion, the ancient engine was instantly extinguished, and the entire air fortress also shook violently.

"Her Majesty the Queen!" A temple tutor rushed to the throne of the dominance, "The third main engine is shut down, we can't hold on for long! We must evacuate the battlefield immediately!"

Belsetia sat on the light golden throne, nodding slightly, but in fact, she could sense the state of the temple at this moment without reporting below.

Pain, dying, overwhelmed, scorching and shaking.

This too ancient anti-gravity fortress is under heavy burdens far beyond its limit at this moment. Whether it is fire support to the ground or air attacks from the distorted army, it is rapidly consuming the small amount of life left in the Temple of Stars.

Once upon a time, this powerful fortress also had glorious years of state. It also ruled the sky and deterred the earth. It could splash destructive power endlessly and withstood any enemy's thunder. In those ancient times, it would never fear those ugly and shallow monsters that squirmed on the earth.

But now... the Temple of Stars is too old. It has to do its best to maintain flight. Even if it is old, no matter how much it is repaired, it is just surviving.

The scorching pain burned in the nerves. Belsetia was suffering from the pain from the temple of stars, and also listened to the sound of this ancient fortress and sighed, full of sorrow.

"The Sentinel Tower has been restarted," the great astrology wise man Vilania came to the Silver Queen. The powerful palace magician's face was now covered with sweat. It was obvious that she had been using her magic to help Belsetia maintain control of the temple until now, "the barrier is gradually rebuilding."

"Only 70% of the towers responded correctly, and the barrier was only 'partially rebuilt'," Belsetia said, staring at Vilania, "The fatal loophole has been created, I suspect... Some towers have been completely destroyed by the enemy when they lost their resistance just now, and I can't feel them."

"At least we can block most monsters to keep the opportunity to fight back from the great collapse," Vilania's eyes changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down. "It is an irresistible disaster to completely disappear from the entire barrier, but if it is just a loophole... the loophole can still be filled."

Another violent shaking suddenly came, and a tall tower on the side of the Temple of Stars was directly hit by an attack from the ground. The shield failed to completely resist the direct attack. Amid the harsh sound of metal breaking, the building that had been standing on the deck of the temple for thousands of years broke little by little from the middle and fell towards the earth unstoppable.

The soldiers and mages were covered in fire rushed out of the ruins of the building, partly on the deck, partly falling to the earth with the pieces of smoke rising from the ground, falling into the burning forests on the northern border of the Gaoling Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, our shield is almost extinguished!"

A temple instructor shouted loudly.

Belsetia sighed softly. She knew that the aerial fortress had reached its limit, and it would not make much sense to continue to stay here.

As her next thought was injected into the throne of the dominance, the neural signal was transformed into a command that the mechanical soul of the temple could understand. A series of roars and low sobs came from the depths of this huge ancient air fortress. The remaining engine crew began to adjust their output. The Temple of Stars slowly turned in the air and headed towards the Silver Empire.

And deep in Belsetia's mind, she heard a heavy and sad sigh sitting here for the first time in hundreds of years that the temple made such a clear "sound".

"I know... you are unwilling to accept it," she said softly in her heart, "but there is no one here that can..."

Belsetia had only half of the words in her heart. A terrifying whistling and a series of crackling bursts suddenly came from afar, interrupting the sounds and movements of everyone in the temple control hall.

The picture of the external monitor was quickly turned on, the scenes in the distance of the battlefield became clear in everyone's eyes, and a terrifying scene also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

In front of the defense line facing the Kaoling Kingdom, at the forefront of the forest defense line, the Sentinel Tower that protected this southern country for more than seven centuries suddenly burst out with a series of flashes and explosions of large and small sizes. With the obvious internal energy explosion, the entire tower began to tremble violently, shake, and finally began to slowly fall towards the base...

Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the tower collided with the base, and a huge fireball rose from the spot, burning everything on the defense line in the blink of an eye.

A legion set up in the front of the defense line of the Gaoling Kingdom was instantly destroyed, and together with thousands of elves stationed there, fighting side by side with humans.

At the same time, the energy barrier that had just lit up again on both sides of the Sentinel Tower also suddenly flickered violently.
