"Old President, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
In the bright hall that exuded the light of cold flames, Lei Xiao nodded slightly as he noticed the solemn expression of the gray old man.
"Your Majesty, the information given by the seeker has indeed benefited us a lot, and we have gained a better understanding of the current situation including the catastrophe, but are the other party's words really credible?"
A trace of worry emerged from the gray old eyes, and he asked: "After all, the other party is "Eclipse", and it is impossible to conduct mental attack inquiries at all."
Hearing the sound, the other strong men on our side also nodded.
In fact, when he was talking to the seeker just now, Lei Xiao had already arranged in advance for Ye Cang, Da Zhuang, Chris and two other wood elf elders who were good at spiritual inquiry to try to obtain the information directly from the other party's mind.
Useful information.
But the result is that the spiritual makeup of "Eclipse" is completely different from that of all races. It is like an unshakable boulder that cannot be glimpsed at all.
To be more precise, we cannot even select the other party as the target of casting spells, so that the other party may not even notice it, or may simply ignore it.
After the white knight left just now, Ye Cang, Da Zhuang, Chris and others had already made a report.
"The concerns of the old president are very reasonable, but don't forget a considerable part of the information just now. In fact, we had already speculated before talking to the seeker, but we just confirmed it again."
Lei Xiao nodded to Hui Lao and said with a smile: "Besides, the seeker has no reason to do this."
After hearing Lei Xiao's response, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
What the Lord Lord said is correct. There is really no need for the other party to do this. After all, judging from the current situation, once the "eclipse" comes overwhelmingly, our side may be destroyed.
Thinking of this in their minds, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more solemn, and many people even became a little at a loss.
"Everyone, do you still remember the big mission that the King of Heroes left for the Mercenary Guild?"
Noticing the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Lei Xiao changed the topic and said: "The content of the mission is to find the cracks in the cataclysm. To this end, the old president and others have traveled almost throughout the entire human world."
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to discuss next."
Hui Lao gently stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "According to the information we currently have, is this crack in the cataclysm the crack in the demon-blocking wall?"
"This is the only possibility."
Lei Xiao affirmed Hui Lao's words and continued: "Although the Seeker just mentioned that the Demon Resisting Wall may collapse at any time, I think that even if the Demon Resisting Wall collapses, it will not completely lose its function. It just seems like
It’s just a gap in the city wall, because the demon-blocking wall is a creation of the gods.”
"A creation of the gods?! Lord, how do you know?"
Shirley's fair face was filled with surprise as she blurted out.
"Actually the answer is very simple."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and described the speculation in his mind about the "prompt sound" just now.
Before that, Lei Xiao had already told all the main experts about the divine revelation that he had heard before and the three questions about the "prompt sound". Therefore, everyone soon became enlightened and understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
.
"It's actually like this... Did it turn out that the "prompt sound" led the cataclysm? But why did that god do this?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Shirley's fair face was even more surprised, and everyone else on our side also had the same expression.
"This is also something I urgently want to know, because it must be related to the truth of the blank era, but we still lack the necessary information and cannot speculate further."
Lei Xiao's gaze was profound, and he immediately said: "However, as long as we know that the demon-blocking wall used by the "Alert Sound" will not completely collapse, but will only appear cracks, it is enough for us to see hope in fighting against "Eclipse".
"
"I understand what your Majesty means!"
Hui Lao nodded suddenly and agreed: "Actually, this is very similar to His Majesty's previous instructions. As long as we find the location where cracks may appear in the Demon Barrier Wall, which is the Cataclysm Crack mentioned in the King of Heroes mission, we can then fortify it heavily.
, or even plug the cracks, we can wait for work and block the "eclipse" that attempts to sweep the world!"
As soon as Hui Lao said these words, the other strong men on our side who had not yet reacted suddenly realized.
Originally, facing the almost invincible "Eclipse" who didn't know where it would come from, everyone felt a little at a loss.
And if we can carry out targeted defense and concentrate the power to fight against "Eclipse" as Lei Xiao and Hui Lao said, we will indeed have a glimmer of hope, even if it is extremely slim!
"It turns out that this is the key to the big mission issued by the ancestor King of Heroes."
Ariel was excited and said in a deep voice: "But Lord, the Demon Barrier is a magic restriction cast by the gods. It is undoubtedly extremely magical and far beyond our ability to understand. Although it covers the entire land, it is
We can't sense it at all, so how can we find the cracks that may appear in the future?"
"Yes, the human race's territory is so vast. If we simply search for it, it is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack. But fortunately, we are not without traces."
Lei Xiao smiled mysteriously, and then began to explain: "Don't forget how the seeker came to the ground."
"Lord, are you saying that the possible cracks in the magic wall are where the magic leyline breaks out?"
Shirley's starry eyes lit up, and she immediately reacted, and said suddenly: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. Although these cracks that were created when the magic leylines broke out, they were repaired later, they must be the most severe cracks in the entire magic ban.
A vulnerable spot!”
As soon as Shirley said this, Chrissy and other wood fairies who had the deepest understanding of magic present also nodded excitedly. Just like the former said, the repaired part of the barrier is indeed better than the other parts.
Fragile!
You know, just like the flower fairies who once maintained the wards for the ancient human race, the wood fairies obviously have a very deep understanding of magic wards.
"Yes, if cracks are to occur in the Demonic Barrier Wall, these places where cracks have appeared are undoubtedly the most likely, such as the ruins of King Loren's capital and the depths of the dragon's lair on Wumeng Peak."
Lei Xiao confirmed Shirley's view and continued: "Therefore, we must focus on monitoring such places and deploy corresponding absolute defense barriers. I will hold a meeting on this later and deploy it overnight."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although according to the content of the mission entrusted by Wang Xi, the catastrophic cracks would appear in the human realm, he was unable to confirm whether the cracks would only appear in the human realm or whether they would also appear in other areas of the outer domain at the same time.
Therefore, he cannot ignore these places. After all, as he advances, more and more foreign areas have begun to be included in his sphere of influence. At least within the area he controls, all of them must be deployed.
While Lei Xiao was thinking, the eyes of the powerful men became more determined.
With the lord's strategizing, our confidence in fighting "Eclipse" has undoubtedly increased!
"Your Majesty, will the previous search for catastrophic cracks from the dimensional storm area and the dislocated object area be stopped?"
Hui Lao pondered for a moment, then asked again.
"No, I will invest more manpower, material and financial resources. Although our previous two investigation and defense directions may have nothing to do with the Cataclysm Rift, they are undoubtedly things that we have not yet figured out, so we only need to make some adjustments.
, the investigation must still continue.”
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and responded: "Needless to say, misplaced things, especially the dimensional storms that have become more frequent in recent years. Although we have the ability to deal with them, we still don't understand the reasons for their formation."
"I understand, Your Majesty."
The gray old face was full of competence, and he immediately frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, and that is the location of Old Nick's accident."
"Although the portal in the depths of the Warcraft Cave is difficult to activate, it is undeniable that in the unknown ruins on the other side of the portal, there has been activity of "Eclipse", and it is even still there."
After hearing Old Gray's words, Ariel immediately echoed: "Yes, Lord Lord, there must have been an outbreak of magic leylines there, and it is not far from Fanyin City. Once the other party repairs the portal from the other side,
, even if the number is limited, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to the surrounding Lengyan people."
"This is indeed something that needs to be focused on. I will make a comprehensive deployment of the entire area, including the cave, and relocate the people around to a safer area. When I am free, I will personally explore that place.
Unknown ruins, and eradicate the "eclipse" in them."
Lei Xiao nodded without hesitation, his eyes becoming a bit sharper.
"Lord, how should the white knight be placed?"
Shirley stroked her chest and saluted, and asked again: "Has it always been placed here to prevent accidents? But this is the core of Lengyan Palace."
"Indeed, it would be great if there was a place with similar functions to the Lion King Palace. It would be best if it could be far away from densely populated areas and power centers."
Hui Lao rubbed his old chin and echoed.
"There is indeed such a place, and that is Crystal Blue City."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The function of the Light Chaser Castle is undoubtedly similar to that of the Lion King's Palace. It would undoubtedly be better if it could also host other sources of life in addition to Xion and others.
.”
"Although Crystal Blue City can only operate in the human realm now, it can also reach any inaccessible place in an instant."
After saying that, Lei Xiao immediately looked at Shirley and Binglao and said: "The task of comprehensively investigating the Light-Chasing Castle will be left to you two. As the owner of the Light-Chasing Castle, I will open up the maximum authority of the miracle building to assist you in this task."
To investigate, until then, we can only force the White Knight to live in the depths of the Lion King's Palace, and be guarded by the stone elf holders and the stone elves in turns."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Hearing the sound, everyone touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"Okay, then it's time for us to leave here."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he took his own steps.
After returning to the Lion's Castle, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to summon the seven human kings, Qin Qian and other lord representatives, as well as the leaders of our forces in the outer domain, including Chris, to a meeting to discuss the latest information.
Information about the catastrophe was informed to everyone. This was also the first time that Lei Xiao held such a large-scale meeting, gathering all the major forces under his command.
After describing everything, the second thing Lei Xiao did was naturally to fully deploy monitoring measures and build defense measures at all locations where magic leylines have broken out within our sphere of influence.
When everyone with solemn faces took the order to leave, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the queen's room with Ariel.
"Lord, you have been busy for such a long time and you can finally rest."
Ariel handed Lei Xiao a cup of hot tea and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is just the beginning. What we will face next is not only the catastrophe that may strike at any time, but deeper in the outer domain, there are still other forces standing opposite us that are currently difficult to reach."
Lei Xiao held the steaming cup of tea and said with a smile: "However, this rugged road is no longer ours alone, but there are more and more fellow travelers."
"Your Lordship is right. I just saw so many powerful people from the outside world gathered together, which really surprised my subordinates. Queen Catherine is even stronger, and Cecilia, Lawrence, Eckhart, Willy
, Phil and the others are also extremely nervous."
Ariel blinked her starry eyes, obviously cherishing the time alone with Lei Xiao, and said with joy: "Not to mention the cute elves, the trees are very calm, and the elves also look amiable. To say the most touching thing
Those with hair standing on their backs are the extremely burly trolls and tauren."
"But they are extremely respectful to the lord, which makes my subordinates feel very excited. After all, these were powerful beings who once looked down upon the human race."
"By the way, the Dragonborn Queen is exactly the same as us. It's really surprising..."
Listening to Ariel's endless talk, Lei Xiao smiled and took a sip of the tea in his cup.
I have to say that although Ariel's clear voice has been lingering in her earrings, my heart feels rare quiet and calm.
However, although everything went very smoothly, there was one thing that made me extremely concerned.
That is the way to fight "eclipse". If you only rely on the power of [God's Stone], it is obviously too weak.
After all, during the battle in the dragon's lair alone, he had consumed almost all the power of the stone elves.
"Is there any other way to cause damage to "Eclipse"? But in any case, the collection of other [God's Stones] must be further strengthened."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
In addition, there is another extremely important thing that is imminent. ()
