A long 40 seconds passed, and the Doomsday Judgment finally ended.
The red clouds in the sky dispersed and the sun shone again.
All the armed airships and accompanying airships, as well as the magic crystal cannon, were completely destroyed by the Doomsday Judgment.
Even the golden and diamond people with magic resistance were turned into scrap metal under the blow of the legendary hero Doomsday Judgment.
The gold powder that the Jinren gilded was fine, but the iron sheet inside had been melted into a ball by the fireball.
The treasure crushed by Seven Pigeons only affects living creatures.
Gargoyles, golden men, diamond men, and armed airships are all inanimate magical creations, and Qi Ge cannot bear the damage they suffer.
The blackened iron sheet is still burning, will there be one or two explosions?
From the ruins of the flames, Qi Ge and Serena emerged.
Serena hugged Qi Ge excitedly. She didn't expect that Qi Ge was actually immune to magic damage!
This is simply a desperate situation.
Serena asked excitedly:
"Qi Ge, how did you do it?!
As far as I know, the only treasure that can make heroes immune to magic is the Dragon King's power, right?
Do you have the power of the Dragon King?
Or are you actually a black dragon or a golden dragon?
No, you are so good-looking, so you are a phoenix? Are you immune to fire magic damage?"
Qi Ge smiled and patted Serena on the head, saying: "Stop guessing, keep it secret. Let's save people quickly."
"good!"
Serena's expression became serious and she quickly began to give instructions.
Under Serena's command, the mages and djinn who were still able to move quickly began rescue work.
As a great hero who turned the tide, Xingfeng's name quickly spread among the standing army.
Under Qige's order, the goblins who were no longer in the rescue sequence were also rescued.
Even if Seven Pigeons managed to turn the tide in the end, the standing army would suffer heavy casualties.
More than 60% of the standing army was killed in this Doomsday Judgment.
Two master heroes died.
Six ordinary heroes died.
The deaths of soldiers were even more horrific.
Most importantly, all the armed airships and the accompanying airships of Silver Wind City were destroyed.
Qi Ge listened to the battle mage's report with lingering fear.
This is the intimidating power of legendary heroes.
The entire army was almost wiped out because of a doomsday judgment that Hove had prepared for.
If it hadn't been for his accident, Serena might have died in this wave of attacks.
No, if she hadn't come, Hoff might not have attacked Serena's support force.
So did I harm them or save them?
emm…
Can't figure it out, don't forget it.
"Lord Serena, Lord Starwind, given the current situation, do we still need to continue to reinforce?"
Beside Qi Ge, a question came from the war mage.
Qi Ge remembered that he was also responsible for the inventory in the airship square.
It seemed like he was pretty lucky. He actually survived.
Serena turned her head and looked at Qi Ge.
I definitely have to go.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
I'm ready for everything, it's not my style to just go back.
But how to convince them?
Qi Ge thought for a while and said to Serena very rationally:
"Serena, I suggest you report to your superiors first and then continue to reinforce.
Since the enemy appears here, it means that they do not want us to reinforce. If we withdraw, the front line will most likely be besieged by the enemy.
We are still alive and can even maintain our organic combat strength, which is something the other party would never expect.
If there is really a problem on the front line, we are likely to be a surprise force to break the situation!
And this time, we were attacked by Hof.
The enemy came prepared, but we were unprepared, so we suffered a big loss.
In a head-to-head confrontation, Serena will never be inferior to Hove in terms of combat effectiveness."
Serena looked at the war mage. The war mage nodded vigorously, his face also full of indignation: "Yes! Lord Serena, our sacrifice cannot be forgotten like this!"
Serena nodded and said, "Okay, I'll report to Thunder City right away."
"Wait a moment." Qige took Serena's hand and said:
"Do not report the status of our troops to the parliament, only report it to Chief Eschar and your teacher, His Majesty Somra.
I suspect that Hof’s appearance is not accidental.”
Serena's pupils shrank and she immediately said: "I understand."
…
…
"The Standing Army encountered a sneak attack by Pope Hove of the Church of Fortune. The opponent was well prepared and waited at the place where the Standing Army must pass, and recited the magic of Doomsday Judgment.
The standing army suffered heavy losses.
Two masters died.
Six ordinary heroes died.
Ordinary soldiers suffered more than half damage.
Details are as follows:
…”
"How could Huofu show up earlier or later? She just happened to show up at that location?
There must be some insider tipping off the news!
Pickem? Could it be him?”
Eschar received Serena's report, feeling both happy and doubtful.
If it weren't for Star Wind, standing armies might have become a thing of the past.
The Thunder City Standing Army is under the jurisdiction of the Magic Faction and is one of the core forces of the Magic Faction.
This is a sensitive period for the election of the Grand Speaker, and Starwind is so close to our magic faction.
Pickem has every reason to get rid of Starwind while attacking our faction.
"snort!"
Escher groaned.
"Asshole! Some people have reached the point where they do whatever they want. If they are not controlled, the consequences will be disastrous."
[Dear Eschar, permanent director.
There is a message from the towering sky, there is information from the star wind, please check it.]
Just as Escher was about to issue an order and take countermeasures, he received a message from Qi Ge. He quickly opened the message to check.
【Chief Escher.
Your half-student, Starwind, says hello.
Regarding the situation of the standing army, I believe Serena has already given you a detailed explanation.
We are heading to the front line, preparing to stop the enemies from the Church of Fortune.
If possible, please, Chief Escher, please keep quiet about the information about our survival.
It would be best to publicize the news that our entire army was annihilated.
My mentor once said that the more complacent the enemy is, the easier it is for him to reveal his flaws.
In addition, Serena only informed you and the Somra demigod of our news.】
Escher raised his eyelids slightly and showed a deep smile.
Sure enough, Xingfeng and I are both smart people.
He knocked on the table lightly and said: "Taling, help me summon the Somra demigod."
…
…
Treat the wounded, evacuate quickly, make repairs on the spot, and distribute food.
Under the command of Qi Ge, the Thunder City standing army finally adjusted safely and regained a certain combat effectiveness.
Although all the gargoyles and golden men were lost, most of the mages and djinn still retained certain organizational structures.
This is good news.
However, the death of a large number of heroes made the morale of the troops very low.
Qi Ge used public service for personal gain and persuaded Serena to divide all the troops into groups.
"Serena, you are a legendary hero of the mage system. You should carry the two main combat spell-casting units, the mage and the djinn.
I will help you manage the remaining goblins, I am a logistics hero."
Qi Ge's face does not turn red when he lies, and his heart does not beat.
Yes, I am a logistics hero with architectural and design skills!
As for luck spells, tactics, wisdom spells, magic prayer spells, and training spells, they are all used to conceal my identity as a hero in the later stage.
Serena thought about it and felt that what Xingfeng said was very reasonable.
Managing the mages and djinn has taken a lot of energy out of her, and she really can't take care of the goblins.
In this way, with Qi Ge's persuasion, he successfully transformed from Serena's attendant to the commander in charge of 14,000 elf-like troops.
Since all the armed airships were destroyed, Seven Pigeons and others had to walk along the way.
Therefore, the disadvantages of NPC arms are reflected.
When morale is low, the march of troops will be greatly reduced.
This happens to be the Silverwind River Basin and belongs to the wild monster area.
From time to time, a unit will be attacked by wild monsters, causing the entire unit to fall into battle.
With Serena's presence, the battle always ends quickly, but it is not an option to continue like this, which makes Serena feel a headache.
At the critical moment, Qi Ge stepped forward again.
"Serena, look, there is a rally flag ahead!"
Due to the death of a master hero in charge of investigation in the standing army, the investigation work was smoothly taken over by Qi Ge.
With his magic eyes, he found hidden wild monsters for the standing army many times.
"The rally flag can dispel the haze in the hearts of the troops, boost morale, and increase the marching speed of the entire army."
Serena said excitedly: "Xingfeng, you did a great job. Let's quickly take down the assembly flag."
The wild monster guarding the assembly flag was no match for Serena, and was easily taken down by Serena.
Seven doves near the rally flag.
【Assembly Flag
You can rally troops around the rally flag, boost their strength, and boost their spirits so that they can go further today.】
The rally flag dispels all temporary morale debuffs.
For example, [defeat], [hero’s death], etc.
However, the permanent morale debuff effects such as [there are undead in the army] and [the army has units from more than two forces] cannot be dispelled by the rally flag.
Serena and Qi Ge led them into the assembly flag. The tattered assembly flag emitted a bright light, quickly healing the shadows in the hearts of the troops.
The light flashed, and the entire standing army no longer looked downcast, but became energetic.
Originally, the large number of deaths of heroes caused a serious decline in the morale of the standing army, but now it has finally recovered.
The effect of the recovery of morale was obvious, as the movement speed of the entire army suddenly increased a lot.
In addition, the rally flag also has a march speed bonus, and the standing army's movement speed can barely catch up to one-fifth of the armed airship.
But it's still not enough.
Qi Ge opened the map and estimated that it would take about 7 hours to reach the front line, but in another 5 hours, it would be dark.
We must think of a way.
Seven Pigeons quietly told Serena the problem they discovered.
Serena thought for a while and said: "Xingfeng, how about we find a wild mine and stay there for one night?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said: "No, if we delay for too long on the march, the front line is likely to be attacked by a sneak attack."
"so what should I do now?"
"stable!"
"stable?"
"Yes! I know a special use of stables.
We take a detour.
My teacher and I have traveled in this area, and if I remember correctly, there is a stable near here."
Serena nodded and said, "Xingfeng, I believe you. I listen to you."
"good!"
Seven Doves summoned Ziyuan disguised as a war horse. He rode on Ziyuan and shouted loudly:
"Inform the entire army to follow me!"
Qi Ge led the standing army in a circle, from the level 4 monster area to the level 5 monster area.
He led everyone over the steep hills and arrived at an endless wilderness.
The horizontal screen of green rocks embraces the vast grassland, with evergreen cypress trees as the canopy, and the winding silver wind river flowing with coldness.
There is a small house in the wilderness, surrounded by a group of wild monsters.
The brown roof, white brick walls, and fenced backyard look unremarkable at all.
Serena said in surprise: "Is there really a stable? Xingfeng, you have a really good memory."
Could it be bad?
I have been studying the terrain and key wild buildings around the city of abundance for a long time.
Under the leadership of Serena, the standing army cleared out the wild monsters and arrived at the stables.
Seven Doves asked Serena to wait first, and he led the goblins to knock on the stable door.
[System prompt: You have discovered a stable in the wild.
The owner of the stable pokes his head out of the window and tells you that he can provide horses to your army to increase their movement points this week.]
Hmm? Window?
Does the stable have no windows?
Shouldn't it be normal for [the owner of the stable opens the door]?
Qi Ge was wondering when suddenly a thunderous sound came from above his head.
"Hey! Little one over there! Are you the one who needs a horse?"
"Wow!!"
"Oh my God!"
The army behind Qi Ge suddenly heard a wave of shaky shouts, and many goblins were frightened so much that they sat on the ground and shivered.
Qi Ge quickly raised his head and saw a huge head popping up from the top of the stable.
That head only had one eye in the middle of the forehead, and the top of the head was almost bare, with only a handful of hair tied up into a straight braid!
hiss.
Qi Ge took a breath of cold air.
The NPC stationed at this stable is actually a Cyclops.
Cyclops is strong, stubborn, impulsive, and extremely impatient.
Qi Ge did not dare to delay, and quickly shouted: "This strong man, I need horses, and I need your help."
The Cyclops rolled his eyes, looked at Qi Ge, and said:
"Then come in!"
His head retracted, and with a creak, the stable door suddenly opened.
Qi Ge said to Serena: "Wait for me here."
"Then be careful."
Serena replied with some worry.
"Um."
Seven pigeons left the stable.
From the outside, it looks like a stable the size of a small house, but inside it is a vast expanse of grassland that cannot be seen to the end.
The entire endless grassland seemed to be sprinkled with golden dust.
Large diamond-like dewdrops trembled everywhere on the lush green grass, flashing colorful light spots.
A large group of horses ran wild on the grassland.
The horses were so numerous that seven pigeons could not even be counted. They were vague and hazy, as if the whole earth was moving.
Bang!
Bang!
The Cyclops slowly walked over on the grassland.
The seven pigeons in front of him were only as big as an ant.
He stood far away and asked in a low voice: "Little guy! How many horses do you need?"
Even though he lowered his volume, his voice was still so deafening to Qi Ge.
Qi Ge opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master One-Eyed! I am willing to pay five thousand gold coins to rent two super giant elemental horses!"
"Louder, I can't hear you."
"Master One-Eyed! I am willing to pay five thousand gold coins to rent two super giant elemental horses!"
"What did you say?"
Seven Doves “…
He knew that it was not the Cyclops that was deaf, but that his voice was too soft.
In desperation, Qige had no choice but to take out a loudspeaker treasure, crushed it and shouted:
"Master One-Eyed! I am willing to pay five thousand gold coins to rent two super giant elemental horses!"
The Cyclops heard clearly now. He waved his hand and said: "The super giant elemental horse is only provided to the heroes working in the stable and will not be loaned out."
Qi Ge quickly shouted: "Sir! I am willing to donate twenty strong Pegasus horses as my contribution to the stable."
When the Cyclops heard this, he was immediately overjoyed:
"That's okay! Where's Pegasus?"
Qi Ge was slightly embarrassed.
"It's in my territory, I didn't bring it out."
"No? No, what can you say to me about Behemoth?
Huh? Little guy, are you teasing me?!"
Qi Ge quickly explained:
"Master One-Eyed, I can use a level 4 true treasure as collateral. If I don't deliver the Pegasus within a week, this level 4 true treasure will be yours."
"Level 4 true treasure?" Cyclops thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible, but it depends on the quality of your treasure."
Done!
This treasure must be given with care.
If you give a bad deal, the deal may fail. Cyclops will not have the patience to give Qi Ge another chance, and there is a high probability that he will be kicked out.
If you give it too well, you may be ignored by the Cyclops. With the character of the Cyclops race, there is a high probability that they can do such a thing.
Qi Ge thought for a moment and took out the Werewolf King Shield from his backpack.
"Sir! Look at this!"
【Werewolf King Shield(buckler of the gnoll king)
Treasure level: 4
Equipment location: shield
Basic attributes: Hero defense 4
Special skill: The werewolf unit led by the hero has unlimited counterattacks and the enemy cannot counterattack when attacking.】
The Cyclops pinched his nose and said with disgust:
"Abominable swamp smell. Stinky, so stinky.
But this thing is indeed precious, so you can pass the test.
You put it on the ground and I will lead the horse for you."
Hum hum, perfect.
Qige pretended to be overjoyed and shouted: "Thank you, Master One-Eyed."
…
…
Outside the stables, Serena and the standing army were waiting anxiously.
The war mage of the Standing Army asked doubtfully:
"Lord Serena, I remember that it costs 10 gold coins to rent a horse at the stable.
According to a rough calculation, our army has more than 20,000 soldiers left, which is twenty gold coins.
Does Lord Xingfeng have so many gold coins on him?
How about I recruit them from the army?
The goblins definitely don’t have money, but they can still afford the rental fee of 10 gold coins for the mages and djinn?”
Serena shook her head and said, "Xingfeng asked us to wait for him. Let's wait until he comes out."
boom!!!
Just then, the stable door suddenly opened.
A Cyclops came out leading two horses.
The bodies of the Cyclops and the horses gradually grew larger as they walked. In the end, the Cyclops' head even reached into the clouds, and the two horses in his hands were each as big as a mountain peak.
The shadow cast by the Cyclops can even cover the entire standing army!
hiss.
Serena took a breath and her pupils suddenly dilated.
This size?!
An extremely giant unit? Or a demigod-level hero like the teacher?!
"Little guy, I'll leave these two horses to you, take good care of them."
The Cyclops roared and got back into the stable.
Everyone's ears were buzzing from the roar of the Cyclops, and before they could react, they heard the cry of seven doves.
"Hey! Serena! Bring the troops here!"
Qi Ge stood on the head of the super giant elemental horse and waved vigorously at everyone.
"Look, it's Master Xingfeng!"
"Lord Hoshikaze has a horse! Lord Hoshikaze is on the horse's head!"
"Oh my God! What a big horse!"
Serena was happy in her heart. Starwind was really powerful. With these two horses, the troops would definitely be able to reach the front line in time.
The two super giant elemental horses slowly squatted on the ground. Under Serena's command, all the troops climbed on the horses' backs.
Catch horse hair when it's time to catch it, and turn it into a magic lamp when it's time to do it.
The movement problem of the standing army was easily solved by two super giant elemental horses.
"Charge! Target, City of Prosperity!"
Xu Lv~~
Qi Ge gave the order, and the two super giant elemental horses started running quickly.
As they ran, their bodies gradually transformed into elements.
One horse turned into a fiery red fire elemental body, and the other turned into an aqua blue water elemental body.
The two horses wrapped the standing army, each entered the elemental world, and ran quickly in the elemental world.
In just twenty minutes, Serena and Qi Ge arrived near the front line of the City of Abundance!
Xu Lv~~
After putting everyone down, the two super giant elemental horses snorted, turned around and disappeared into the elemental world.
Serena pulled Qi Ge's sleeve and asked: "Xingfeng, what should we do next?"
Qi Ge replied seriously:
"We hid the troops first, and the two of us joined the troops alone and lied that all our troops were wiped out.
I suspect that Pickerem still has backup plans waiting for us.
Hiding the troops can be used as our trump card and surprise troops."
"Okay!" Serena nodded vigorously. "Xingfeng, I listen to you."
"Wait a minute, Lord Hoshikaze, but with so many of our troops, where are we going to hide?"
At this time, the war mage asked very puzzledly.
Qi Ge pointed at his feet and said:
"Before I came here, I checked the Geography of Bracada and found that there are many complex tunnels underground in the wealthy city.
These tunnels were dug by cavemen who once lived underground in the city of abundance. They extend in all directions and are intricate.
You will be perfectly safe hiding inside.
We can leave the communication treasure and call you when needed.
