After breaking through the beholder's defense, he continued to move forward no more than a few hundred feet.
The sewer suddenly opened up.
However, this openness is not the design of Efraska itself.
It is easy to see that the sewer here was shot by the beholder's "dissociation ray" countless times.
The surrounding walls were broken into an "eight" shape, and there were irregular potholes everywhere on the walls.
The height of the cave ceiling is also rising suddenly, and like the surrounding walls, it is also full of pits and pits. It is obviously a change caused by the dissociation of the beholder.
However, this is actually nothing. At least, it can still be regarded as a passage here, but it is too open.
What really moved Isaac and the others was at the end of the "eight"-shaped passage. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the edge. There were even more giant pillars in it, and each giant pillar was erected more than once.
It is a hundred feet high. However, even though it is a forest of giant pillars, the first impression gives people the impression that it is a majestic palace that may collapse at any time.
Of course, it is said to be "grand" because the scale of this "palace" is really too large.
But if we take it more seriously...
The so-called thousands of pillars are just like the "eight"-shaped passage. They are pillars of mud and stone split by the beholder using "dissociation rays". Not to mention the artistry, they are just basic solidity.
There is absolutely no guarantee.
Similarly, the so-called palace is generally rough, and is more like a mountain depression or even a garbage dump than a palace.
Under this "palace", there is sewage everywhere, not to mention the stench, and there are also monsters such as lizard men roaming around.
And in the "Forest of Ten Thousand Pillars", there is another figure of the beholder floating in it.
From time to time, I was alarmed by these beholders, and above the "Forest of Ten Thousand Pillars" and on the "top of the main hall", there would be black shadows that looked like magic bats.
Seeing this, Isaac and the others knew roughly how to activate this crude but magnificent trap.
"Although it cannot be compared with the 'Hall of Thousand Pillars' in Hellast in terms of stability."
"It is also the special soil environment of Waterdeep City that is changed by high magic and will never collapse no matter how many layers are dug."
"However, with the support of these thousands of pillars, ordinary troops passing above will not cause collapse."
Such as phaerinn and beholders, these are all strange monsters entrenched in the Underdark. It is basically impossible for them to be artistic. However, it is possible to change the terrain of the Underdark without causing collapse.
It is difficult for their intelligence.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, this "Ten Thousand Pillars Palace" still has a certain degree of stability.
Let it cause a big collapse like that of the "Star Meadow Tower"...
"Unless it is a behemoth like a troll, it will produce excessive pressure and vibration in a small space."
"Or maybe there are beholders or other monsters destroying the pillar forest down here."
Of course, if the two are carried out at the same time, the probability will naturally be greater.
It was him who was meditating and thinking.
By her side, combined with the topographic map of the city's sewers, Aililin had already made an accurate judgment on the approximate location of this trap.
"This place should be under the magic training ground. However, its scale is by no means limited to the magic training ground. I'm afraid it will extend to several school branches."
"Uncle Lei, is it necessary for us to go ahead and find out its approximate marginal range?"
Aililin first answered Danilo, then looked at Uncle Lei.
"This is no longer necessary."
"Now that the existence of this trap has been confirmed, it's time for us to meet up with Laila!"
Although he was confident enough to be able to protect the lives of the team members from the collapse, Isaac did not think about blocking a wave of collapse underground if necessary.
Let’s go see Laila first, and then let’s see how they are prepared to deal with it!
When he said this, everyone, even Aililin, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If you really continue to move forward, it may collapse at any time here, and if a battle breaks out in a garbage dump-like environment, this is Arilyn, and she will instinctively frown.
"Okay, let's get out of here first!"
Aililin nodded, and then led the team back to the original route.
At this time, she was no longer in a hurry to conduct in-depth reconnaissance of "Hasar Barrier" and "Fortress of Elements". Solving these deep pits and traps as soon as possible was the most important thing at the moment.
On the way back, they didn't encounter any monsters again. Soon, the team returned to the faculty community.
After sending a "real name message" to Laila, the news of the meeting was sent.
A stream of black flames then shot up into the sky at the gate of the martial arts academy.
See this.
"let's go!"
After observing the situation of nearby monsters for a while, they stopped changing and becoming invisible, and just moved away from where the main force of the monster army was. Everyone quickly converged towards the gate of the academy.
You will inevitably encounter some monster armies along the way.
However, there are too many spell-like abilities that Slaad White Chan can use at will.
There are "Fireball Technique" and "Death Array" again, and from time to time, some trees of death and huge rocks are activated.
Along the way, the ordinary monster army could not stop them at all.
In just a few moments, the destination was reached.
I saw that it had been destroyed once, or even multiple times, in front of the academy gate that had been destroyed again by the troll statue before.
Laila Silverhand, who was wearing the robe of the Archmage and the staff of the Archmage, was standing side by side with "Iron Wall General" Shaparo, followed by some elf officers, waiting for them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the two parties met, it was inevitable that Laila introduced each other to each other.
Of course, in her introduction, she still did not mention Isaac's identity. She only mentioned him as "an old friend, Mr. Lei", which made the identity vague.
And wait for the two sides to greet each other.
"How is the situation under the Magic Academy?"
She quickly looked towards Arilyn and Danilo.
Danilo looked solemn and then reported: "The situation is not good. Those monsters may have hollowed out half of the college, leaving only some pillars of mud and stone to support them. If the army really kills them, even if the trolls don't look like
If the beholder below moves even slightly, it will still be difficult not to fall into it.
According to Eileen's estimation, the trap starts from the magic training ground in the west, and extends in three directions: north, south, south, and more likely to directly extend to those school branches. With such a scale, as long as the army enters the magic school, it will just go around.
If you walk directly into this trap, when the collapse starts, it will be difficult, even impossible, not to be affected by it..."
This estimate can be completely confirmed by comparing it with the collapse momentum at the Star Meadow Tower.
Even if the collapse of the Magic Academy causes the Martial Arts Academy to collapse, or conversely, if the Martial Arts Academy starts and then causes the Magic Academy to collapse as well, the momentum may even be greater than that of the Star Meadow Tower.
, it will be even more sensational.
"The phaerinn doesn't care about the life or death of those monsters at all. Even the beholders and illithids are their casually discarded victims!"
"In this case, regardless of whether the collapse of these traps is triggered in advance, it is probably unrealistic to use the army to besiege those branch strongholds."
General Shaparro shook his head slowly with his eyes locked deeply.
By this time, he had ordered all troops to retreat.
Including the troll statue, they all retreated to the periphery of the martial arts academy.
The reason why we haven't completely evacuated here yet is because there are still teams under the ground that haven't all evacuated, so we need to leave some restraints to avoid creating a retreat for the monsters.
Judging from the intelligence that has been detected so far, there is also a trap under the martial arts academy.
Even if such a trap is triggered in advance, the drastic changes in the terrain will inevitably affect the army's actions.
In this way...
General Shaparro looked towards Ms. Leila.
If the army is not suitable for large-scale operations, it will only rely on ladies and others.
Laila nodded slightly. If it was time for her to take action, she would naturally not hesitate.
However, she was not in a hurry to make any decision. She looked towards Isaac again: "Lei, you are most familiar with the situation below and the situation at the Magic Academy. What do you think?"
If she really wanted to take action, the main force would naturally be her and Isaac. Of course, Laila couldn't just ignore Isaac's opinion and just make a decision.
"To capture this academy, the only way is to first detonate this trap, and then capture the strongholds and fortresses such as the Castle of Elements and the Hasar Barrier one by one."
"but……"
After looking at Laila, Isaac didn't hide it and said directly: "There are two situations that I think need to be paid attention to in advance."
"First, within these strongholds and fortresses, Felin Demon Kui has already laid out magic traps. I think everyone already knows how to break through and defeat them. I don't need to say more.
Let me just say one thing. Since the Phayling Demon Kui has laid such a deep pit trap outside early, does this mean that places such as the academy, the Tower of Star Meadow, and the Tower of the Moon have actually been with them for a long time?
Is it on the abandonment list?
So...are those phaelim demons really still staying under these strongholds?"
The phaerinn is not a fool. He can sacrifice the monster army without hesitation. The beholder general and the illithid general can also be abandoned at any time, but they will never put themselves to death, right?
It can be expected that when the pit trap is triggered, it will be difficult for the army to attack the stronghold and fortress on a large scale. It is more necessary for the strong to lead the elite and ace teams to kill it.
There is no doubt that such an attack will first encounter a wave of defensive forces from the stronghold, and then encounter a magic trap that has been laid out for a long time. But thinking about it, no matter how great the loss is, it is impossible not to win.
Therefore, in the end, these Felin Demon Sunflowers will definitely take action themselves.
However, with only the magic sunflowers on the surface, it is naturally impossible to withstand the attack of the Chosen of the Magic Goddess, and there is also the City of Shadows to help.
To be able to lay so many traps early, it is obvious that they have made detailed preparations for everything. When the war reaches such a critical stage, these philim demons will really stay here, putting themselves in danger, and even
Is it a place of death?
And if Felin Demon Kui is no longer here at that juncture, or even now...the strong men and elites on their side, against the magic trap over there, launch a strong attack on that side, this must be a sacrifice to be made
, how meaningful can it be?
After Isaac's words, Laila's eyes flickered for a few times, and she suddenly said: "So, what you mean is that it is necessary to trigger these pit traps, and, by triggering them, no matter what
Whether the Felin Demon Kui has left in advance, it can be ensured that by then, they will definitely leave the stronghold?"
She had already understood the hidden meaning in Isaac's words.
When these deep pit traps are triggered, no matter whether the Felin Demon Sunflower is still here or not, in order to prevent the next retreat from being taken away by the strong people here, they will inevitably come in the following strong attack.
Before that, they had evacuated and retreated, leaving only the magic traps to deal with them.
so……
Seeing Isaac nodding slightly, with acquiescence, Laila asked again: "What's next?"
"The next thing is exactly the second point I want to say."
Isaac smiled faintly, but looked towards Aililin: "Aililin, have you reported to the lady the retreat of the Felin Demon Sunflowers in the Hidden Hall?"
The Felin Demon Sunflower in the Hidden Hall!
Although this was not really confirmed, from various signs, they had already judged that they had retreated to Yunguan Palace.
As for Yunguan Palace, after the three strategic goals have been captured, the royal city must be restored, so the tiger's teeth must be extracted in the end!
Judging from the current judgment, the Hidden Palace should undoubtedly be the secret arrangement of Felin Demon Kui, which is the power to strike at the back of Efraska's army at the critical moment.
With such power, the Felin Demon Sunflower among them is undoubtedly related to the Demon Sunflower within the three strategic targets.
Since they have retreated from Yunguan Palace, then the first target of the evacuation of Mo Kui within the stronghold is naturally...
As soon as Isaac's words came out, the eyes of both Laila Silverhand and General Shaparro lit up.
With their experience and wisdom, they also understood what it meant.
Laila said: "Aililin has already reported it, so what you mean is that we first trigger the trap to ensure that all the Felin Demon Sunflowers evacuate to the Cloud Crown Palace, and then make a strong attack on the stronghold.
The momentum will make those magic sunflowers feel proud, and then, they will gather some strength to see how to clear the way out for those magic sunflowers?"
You can't always follow the steps of Felin Demon Kui, right?
When Laila said these words, the expressions of the elf commanders, including Arilyn and Danilo, who were still a little solemn at first, all brightened up.
Even the cooperating mages of the Yinhuns had a flash of their eyes. They were much more concerned about sniping the Felin Demon Kui than recovering the royal city of Efraska!
"Madam, you might as well contact those two parties first!"
Isaac nodded lightly.
There's no way they could be the only ones to snipe the Felin Demon Sunflower.
Laila knows it all.
The moment is a burst of contact and arrangement.
Less than half an hour.
There is one on the academy side, on the other side of the Moon Tower, and even on the Star Meadow Tower.
The three places collapsed one after another, causing the entire royal city to undulate and tremble.
