In fact, Ian, Tres and his group did not arrive at Azure City safely.
Along the way, they encountered many phantoms and several beasts similar to the sharp-clawed tiger that Ian killed in the Rhian Territory.
But the fungus that lives on these beasts has experienced an abnormal evolution, whether for good or bad.
They greatly improved the strength and regeneration of the beasts in a short period of time, but they damaged the combat intelligence of these beasts. From being able to ambush and fight with various techniques, they became muscular monsters that could only punch and charge.
Although it is said that increasing the power is not a bad thing, no matter how much you strengthen it, some beasts and monsters are just like that. They do not have the wisdom to attack, and in the end they can only become research materials for Ian and others.
Rumble——
The sound of artillery fire was heard in the distance.
Around another city, 'Dengyu City', a multi-party offensive and defensive battle has begun.
As the situation developed, not only the Inspector Knights and other imperial forces intervened in the Avak area, but according to the intelligence received by Tres, the Flying Flames side dispatched the special forces due to the silence of the Western Region Special Forces Headquarters.
The elite troops "King's Guards" entered, and Grand Duke Thorin even dispatched his own knights.
In addition, there are also private troops similar to the Dragon Worship Cult and a certain city lord from the Seven Cities Alliance infiltrating. They each have their own purposes, and the territory of Viscount Avak has been completely transformed into a dead zone, and there is no place for ordinary people to survive.
It became their battlefield.
Not to mention the various weak monsters and phantoms that were originally here.
Ian looked into the distance through the window. In the light of the explosion, I vaguely saw eight figures in mid-air, pouring firepower on a giant turtle that looked like a mountain. The fire was huge and inferior to artillery.
roar.
What followed was less and less artillery fire.
This tortoise is the eighth-level mountain-carrying giant tortoise. Continuous alchemical cannon fire fell under its body, and even the illusory heart light body on the surface of its body showed no ripples.
The giant turtle, feeling bored, just raised its head, opened its mouth, and let out a huge roar - in an instant, a linear shock wave visible to the naked eye, along with layers of waves of smoke and dust, blew away everything behind the giant turtle.
It shattered, and a cylindrical ditch appeared under the small ground, crossing a distance of several thousand meters.
Mud and sand particles all over the sky fell like raindrops, creating a rain of stones.
The Ascendants who attacked it then advanced the moment it opened its mouth, but the alchemy artillery position in front of us was so lucky that it was directly blown away by the man and the cannon, turning it into a giant crater with a diameter of more than 700 meters.
If that kind of attack were used to attack a city, such as Azure City, a large city with only a few hundred thousand people, part of it would be wiped out in an instant.
That is the eighth level... In the lost era, it was called the first-level power of 'hero' and 'cornerstone'.
The battle continues, and with the explosions and roars, the small ground is shaking.
"Thank you so much for the hard work of our team..."
Ian sighed with emotion. Compared to others, I can guess that the reason why the Inspector Knights sent several groups to attract the attention of the mountain-carrying giant turtle is precisely because we want to go back to the Azure City.
Although Mikael can come here visibly, I can still remotely control the actions of some of the patrol knights.
"Yeah, you have to be careful too."
Mo Jingmeng had so few ideas as Ian. Before I knew that Lord Mikael was in my team, I had completely given up thinking and just treated him as a pure tool. I did whatever Mo Jing said: "In the Azure City
If not a single squadron of patrol knights is missing, there must be no secrets."
There must be no secret. Ian nodded slightly. The Seventh Prince said that there are no local living Ascendants still in action in Azure City. This missing patrol knight group probably encountered those 'locals' and was raided by us.
Despite the very weak configuration of the Inspector Knight Brigade, there was no possibility that the seventh level would appear in that incident. No matter how elite the force was, there was no possibility of loss in the face of such a crisis.
The crawler transport truck hurriedly drove into the city.
"The missing brigade's earliest signal return point is located in the northwest of the city. You are temporarily approaching to collect some intelligence."
Ian looked at the city map and directed the brigade's actions: "Go along that road, turn left after passing two streets, and then stop. Outside is the square area. The drone shows that it is very empty outside. You are here
Retreat and prepare outside."
"You feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations outside are very... calm!"
Hua An and Mo Feng both showed somewhat comfortable expressions: "What's going on? The overlap depth of the virtual realm in that place has reached less than 12%..."
Mo Feng, who had studied the subject more deeply, shook his head, and you looked around with some confusion: "As long as it exceeds 5%, it is a safe line, and if it exceeds 10%, no phantom will appear spontaneously... Moreover, you actually came from outside that city.
, smell the smell of ‘compatriots’?”
"There are no goblins outside that city?"
Frost Butterfly frowned slightly, then rotated its wings again, and sat down on Ian's shoulder with some wilting: "I feel... not a little dizzy..."
Goblins are creatures that are very sensitive to changes in the virtual environment. For you, it is equivalent to a small sunny day when the temperature suddenly drops by more than ten degrees. Although it does not affect your activities, there is no portable air conditioner.
"have a good rest."
Ian touched the frost butterfly's head to comfort the big goblin.
But my attention quickly shifted to the street inside.
The members of Avak's brigade are all very capable. After all, they are serious patrol knight apprentices and retinues who can perform various roles. We have seen a lot and encountered fewer monsters and enemies. Tres
Although the mission of the Viscounty is safe, it also makes us afraid.
But even so, before retreating into the Azure City, those elite sublimators who had seen little and had little experience still felt a little numb.
"Report No. 5, there was not a single white shadow flashing through the window of the building to the right of Car No. 1 just now."
"Report on the 12th, auditory hallucination symptoms occurred. You heard a breathing sound like a beast, ringing in your ears."
"Report No. 6, you also have symptoms of auditory hallucinations. You heard men shouting and children crying. There is no hysterical laughter yet. You can hear the specific content of the words clearly, but it will arouse the fear of special people.
.”
Those symptoms of auditory hallucinations do not make sublimated people feel comfortable. After all, there are fewer monsters that can create hallucinations. We have even killed a dozen of real ghosts and ghosts.
As we all know, as long as there are no rockets or knives that can cut ghosts, no one will be afraid of zombies and ghosts. And those patrol knights only have one alchemy cannon, so how can they be afraid of those boring atmosphere groups?
?
What really made us feel numb was the mist that filled the streets.
"Report No. 19, Captain, the fog has been sampled. After identification, it has been confirmed that it is the 'Crazy Fog'. It is an ordinary well-intentioned phenomenon that only appears in the virtual realm. It is different from the virtual realm codenamed 'Lake God'."
Strange things like this can make people gradually fall into madness and require them to take 'resistance medicine'."
When Awak received the report, I nodded and said, "Everyone should take the resistance medicine. There will be interruptions after arriving at the destination."
Resistance potion is not a protective potion for the mental aspect. It essentially isolates the influence of spiritual energy from the outside world on the user. It uses its own medicinal power to resist all sources of energy. It is famous for its comprehensiveness rather than specialization.
of medicine.
It's just right for the area where virtuality and reality overlap.
There were corpses everywhere on both sides of the street. Some corpses had happy faces and wounds all over their bodies, while some people were lying straight on the ground as if they were out of their bodies.
And some people have crazy looks on their faces. Our mouths and mouths are full of flesh and blood, and thick layers of fungus have grown under our bodies. Apparently they have been eroded by the corrupt fungi in the Flying Flame Land, and have fallen into your violent desire to attack.
But in one case, we all died. At the entrance of the shop that originally sold fruits, vegetables and food, the shopkeeper and the customers all fell into a pool of dried blood without putting the food in their hands. The street entrance was blocked by a car.
The man who was crushed to death by the carriage clearly looked miserable, but in your hand you were tightly holding a hand that seemed to have been torn out from under the body of the passenger in the carriage.
There was a person in the hollow of the carriage, and the entire city was more like a huge slaughterhouse than a dead zone.
Tres collar is finished.
"That's a crisis... Even the Huaiguang Church will come forward. Even a major crisis under the 'Prophecy' will lead to hundreds of thousands, or even nearly a million people, just like that quietly...
Such a meaningless death."
Talking loudly to himself, it was only now that Ian finally understood what 'conflict' between small forces was and what 'consumption' was.
The cold numbers under these reports gradually turned into the equally cold corpses behind my eyes.
But my expression has not changed much over the years. I still scan the entire city with a fierce look on my face, and the silver-blue halo in my eyes flashes.
——Anger and sadness can change anything.
As a scholar, what I need to do is to stay calm and find the key to the problem.
Ian is trying to find what Mikael calls the so-called 'living sublime', that is, the person directly related to the tragic situation behind that city... or at least the location of the indirect person.
Only by finding us can we complete Mikael's mission and answer Ian's doubts.
But, suddenly.
The crawler transport vehicle stalled before making a high-pitched buzzing sound.
