Accompanied by the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth shattering, and the sound of continuous huge earthquakes, the land of the royal city suddenly began to churn and surge like waves.
As this wave passed by, we saw patches of buildings that had been severely damaged during the war, and suddenly they were like boats in the huge waves of a tsunami, being overturned row by row.
Like the spirit of the earth roaring with rage.
This huge earthquake originated in the northwest part of the royal city, but even if it reached the Magic Martial Arts Academy in the east, the elves and monsters on the ground were all unstable.
Not only the ground, but also the Aililin team who had re-entered the sewer and was fighting all the way to the Magic Academy. At this time, someone also cast the "earthquake technique" nearby, causing the ground to shake.
They all changed their colors.
This change of color is not due to fear, but more...
"Westward!"
"It should be over there at Star Meadow Tower!"
"These damn monsters actually dug out the ground!"
At this time, Aililin had completely confirmed Uncle Lei's previous speculation.
Not only the academy, but also the Star Meadow Tower and the Moon Tower also laid similar traps for Felin Demon Kui.
If an army were to attack such a trap directly, especially if there were giant monsters like trolls, the monsters under the ground would be destroyed immediately if they even slightly damaged some of the load-bearing pillars.
Caused a huge collapse.
Her change of color was precisely because she was worried about the loss of the army at Star Meadow Tower!
Star Meadow Tower is located in the west of the city and is the closest of the three major targets.
Therefore, where this collapse first occurred is consistent with the progress of the army.
Phaeling doesn't care about monster casualties, as long as it can drag the elf army into a trap. No matter how heavy the casualties are, Phaeling will not blink an eye.
But it's different here.
"Don't be angry!"
"Aunt Laila will let us investigate the situation at the Magic Academy so that we will not miss the warnings at the Star Meadow Tower and the Moon Tower."
"If precautions are taken, although this collapse is quite powerful, it may not cause any real losses!"
"The most urgent thing..."
Danilo hugged his girlfriend, comforting her and letting her calm down, while saying: "The top priority is that we should make a decision. Should we continue to conduct reconnaissance, or retreat to the ground first?"
Finally, there might be something wrong with the lower level of the martial arts academy.
Before, there might also be traps under the Magic Academy.
No matter which side triggers this, I'm afraid it will set off a real earthquake-like shock wave.
By then, it's hard to say whether the sewer they were in would still be stable.
However, at this time, a fierce battle was still breaking out in the martial arts academy, and it was obvious that it could break out at any time.
And as they move forward, this powerful attack may also cause some chain reactions.
Once either side reaches that critical point...
Now Danilo is not as sure as he was before.
The magnitude of the earthquake-like collapse on the other side of the Star Meadow Tower was far beyond his expectation.
If the intensity is the same here...
While hugging Aililin, Danilo's eyes were directed towards Uncle Lei for instructions.
For such a big collapse, once it happens here in the college...
He himself was completely unsure whether he could survive such an impact unharmed.
Therefore, we can only see what Uncle Lei wants!
"Why panic!"
"First of all, you need to know that even if Laila found out the situation under the martial arts academy without summons from you, she would not easily trigger it."
"Secondly, there are just a few of us. Do you think Felin Mokui will activate the traps of the Magic Academy at will?"
"Instead of worrying about the traps in these two places, you should think about it. When such a trap is exposed, what impact will it have on our further actions, and even on the ten-day decisive battle called by Lord Dursa?
!”
Isaac snorted softly.
The sewer was still trembling, but his footsteps never stopped.
At the same time, there was no spellcasting action or any incantation language, but a scorching fire ball quickly condensed and appeared in front of him.
It suddenly flew out again, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded into a huge fireball in the darkness in the distance of the sewer, drowning some panicked monsters in it.
And one shot out quickly, with the same scorching power, and it quickly condensed again.
Spell-like ability - Fireball!
One of the spell-like abilities that the Slaad can cast at will!
Previously in the cave, he had obtained the Slaad White Toad's magic-like ability in the blink of an eye through the cover of "Legendary Hidden".
In terms of spell-like abilities, there is a gap between Balor Balrog and Slaadi.
Of course, the Balor Balrog's "true vision" is something that the White Slaad does not have.
But with him in front, with the ability of Slaad White Chan, he could clear the way without caring about the consumption of spells.
Behind them, Danilo and the others, as well as Ilki, were still pondering in their minds about what "what impact" they meant, but they were already following closely.
Since Mr. Lei continues to move forward, it is obvious that he has the confidence to protect them at the critical moment.
"Further action!"
"Even a ten-day decisive battle!"
"Uncle Lei means..."
Danilo calmed down quickly.
Frowning slightly, he pondered what Uncle Lei said. Suddenly, his eyes twitched and he blurted out: "Uncle Lei, you want to say that these traps of Felin Demon Kui, even places like the Castle of Elements, are...
Is it with the intention of scaring us, so that we will have the mentality to avoid fighting with them, so that we can easily delay the decisive battle with them, and wait for the opportunity for the 'shadow shield' to disappear on its own?"
It is an idea generated by comparing it with oneself.
When something unexpected happened at the Star Meadow Tower, even he hesitated and had the idea of a dilemma.
One can imagine what the mentality of other people, especially the troops facing this change, would be like.
In this case, how can the military morale continue to be aroused?
In addition, the Castle of Elements, even Uncle Lei and Uncle Kelben, are core strongholds with taboos...
The ten-day decisive battle called by Lord Dursa, I'm afraid...
And once the ten-day decisive battle fails, when the "shadow shield" dissipates on its own, without the suppression of the "shadow shield", all phaerinn demons, including the illithids, will resume full combat.
The power is no longer bound, and can be teleported away at any time, and can be teleported in at any time, and it is no longer difficult to carry out a siege...
Thinking of this, Danilo already understood why Uncle Lei was more determined now.
"The deterrent is correct, and the delay is correct, but the surface is not their focus!"
"This kind of intimidation, deep underground, is the real threat!"
He put his hands behind his back and walked forward. In front of Isaac, another fireball skill quickly condensed and flew into the depths of the sewer. While blazing fire exploded instantly, he did not look back.
He said calmly.
Since Felin Demon Kui can control the beholder, he has created a large-scale trap at the core stronghold above the earth's surface.
So, deep underground, on the Gray Cloak Mountains, might there also be various traps?
Especially deep underground.
The deeper the terrain, the more terrifying the power of such a collapse trap.
In Isaac's view, the exposure of these magic sunflowers to the trap is not so much to deter the elven army and delay the recovery of the royal city by the elves, but rather to warn the elves that there is something similar underground.
Even higher intensity traps.
Fighting against the elves is not the way of the phaerimm.
Delaying time until the "shadow shield" disappears is the most important thing at the moment!
Lord Dursa wants to launch a full-scale decisive battle, and in ten days or so, everything about the Felin Demon Kui will be eliminated.
But Felin Mokui's side didn't want to have a head-on decisive battle with Efraska so easily.
As long as the "shadow shield" is still there, these evil monsters will use various means to avoid fighting.
Sacrificing the monster army, activating magic traps, including the collapse of the pit that was just activated now, and the undead army that had been lurking in the "Hidden Hall" before, and might have had some special purpose, but was directly buried... As long as we can
This is their purpose to make Efraska's side scruple and not be able to achieve their strategic goals quickly!
When Uncle Lei said these words, Danilo and Aililin's expressions suddenly turned gloomy.
Under the ground!
If there is such a trap underground...
They can easily imagine the scene.
There are tunnels under the ground, an environment like the Underdark. Once such a collapse occurs... there will be no room for escape!
In addition, the "Shadow Shield" also prohibits teleportation. Only people from the Yinhun people can teleport normally within it. However, not to mention that the Yinhun people have different intentions, even if they sincerely help them, they can teleport.
How many people are leaving?
Suddenly, this bright battle situation was shrouded in dark clouds.
"No wonder the war broke out, but the monsters here in the academy have not yet entered the decisive battle state they should have."
"This is because I am not prepared to follow the steps of the commander-in-chief!"
Danilo thought again of the previous chaos caused by those monsters in the academy.
Originally, he thought that the chaos was due to the natural lack of order in the monster army, so it was difficult to achieve great results.
But looking at it now, this may not be the case. Felin Mokui doesn't care about order at all, because he is not ready to lead his army to fight head-on!
For a moment, the expressions of everyone in the team were gloomy and changing.
"Okay, now that we are aware of it, we will naturally have a solution."
"Solve the immediate matter first and prepare to fight."
Isaac shot out another "Fireball Technique", but this time, it failed to explode.
From the darkness of the sewer, an "anti-magic field" spread.
Moreover, due to the induction, the monsters in front also appeared to be swarming.
Then there was a deep shout, which made the people behind him calm down and prepare to fight. At the same time, for the first time, he also stretched out a hand.
"Rainbow Shield!"
Of course there is no big threat like a beholder, but the "anti-magic field" ability is still in a narrow environment like a sewer, but even he needs to be more careful to deal with it.
The rapid retrieval of original magical energy and its temporary construction.
In a short time, colorful lights began to appear in the sky in front of them, staggering and converging.
Right in front, the outline of the monster behind the "anti-magic field" began to fall into everyone's eyes.
A colorful shield was formed and blocked in front of everyone.
But at this time, Aililin, who had quickly adjusted her mentality and entered a fighting state, suddenly felt something in her heart, and said: "Uncle Lei, there is also movement behind us. We must have encountered a purposeful sniper attack."
Attack from the front and back, and if there is a beholder behind and the "anti-demon field"...
"No problem!"
"Just kill through the front!"
"If there are deep pits and traps in the Magic Academy, there will definitely be many signs. We should be close to them ahead."
While speaking, Isaac didn't even turn around, but he was much faster than when he used the "Rainbow Shield". From behind everyone, colorful lights bloomed again.
With the innate ability to cast spells silently, combined with the "over-limit-fixed cast", a rainbow light spell wall was quickly completed after everyone else, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sewer space was completely blocked.
The rainbow light magic wall can block the anti-magic field, and apart from the legendary dispersion and the great disintegration, only a layer by layer, with a total of seven targeted spells, can be used to dispel it.
Naturally, the beholder does not have such magical abilities. Under the "shadow shield" environment, not to mention the illithid. If the pharynx comes in person, it will be possible to destroy it.
However, if Felin Mokui really came in person, that would be a good thing!
It's a pity that since these strange monsters are bent on shrinking, it is definitely impossible to show their faces.
Of course, with the beholder's dissociation ray, it is not impossible to temporarily "dig" a passage from the surroundings and from the ground.
However, this naturally takes time, and even if the temporary passage is dug, the beholder cannot rush forward on its own. When the "anti-magic field" cannot turn around, those monsters will squeeze in.
No matter how much he adds, he can't resist being bombarded by all kinds of spell-like abilities thrown around from Isaac's side.
Without stopping, he headed straight towards the group of monsters in front of him.
But there are still spell-like abilities that are constantly being used.
"Animate objects!"
One of the spell-like abilities that the Slaad obtained from the "Chaos Realm" and can be cast at will.
This is a sixth-level priest magic, and also a sixth-level domain magic in the realm of chaos.
With the continuous use of this type of magic ability, everyone is moving forward, but behind them, various stones and mud seem to be given life, rolling on the ground, swimming on the ground, and even flying.
As soon as they got up, they all flocked to the side of the "Rainbow Light Dharma Wall".
