Dundrum is located in an underground space that is unimaginably huge, especially in terms of height. Its maximum height above the ground even reaches more than ten miles.
In addition to the strangely painted city that looks full of darkness and evil, the rather large saltwater lake in this space is also different from most other underdark areas.
In the city, the three magnificent obelisk mage towers are quite eye-catching. On the top of the mage towers, countless bright purple ripples are radiating all the time.
And in the central area of these three mage towers, at the intersection of the purple ripples, the Nautilus magic ship is waving its tentacles larger than the dragon, greedily absorbing these ripples.
Directly below the Nautilus.
Even though it is shrouded in darkness, it can still be seen as an evil and terrifying spooky castle in the shape of a "brain".
In the center of the castle, further underground, under the endless darkness, a bright light suddenly appeared.
This light appears in the form of ripples, with a hint of purple, making it brighter and weirder.
The source of the light waves is a huge brain ball suspended above a deep pool of salt water. On top of the brain ball, countless flesh buds are like tentacles. All light waves radiate from here.
And in this deep salt water pool, a large number of tadpole-like creatures can be seen swimming inside.
If you cast your sight down and zoom in...the heads of these tadpoles clearly have mouthparts that are more ferocious than worms, and there are four tentacles swinging on them.
Suddenly, the light waves that had been diverging in an orderly and steady manner trembled.
"Prophecy Shield!"
"There's a crisis coming!"
After the light wave trembled, it became brighter and the amplitude of the oscillation became more violent.
As if it had caused a resonance, the Nautilus, which was absorbing the purple waves above the city, raised its tentacles into the sky at the same time. The invisible and powerful shock wave, centered on it, surged towards the Mage Tower, and then further radiated through the Mage Tower.
, in just an instant, it almost enveloped the entire city.
"A powerful enemy is coming, prepare to fight immediately!"
This is the wave transmitted by the mind and thoughts!
Underground, around the deep pool of salt water, that bright light is the manifestation of the spiritual power in the material world after it reaches its extreme!
This spiritual wave radiated through the cold and silent city. Powerful spiritual thoughts suddenly began to revive. Especially in the three mage towers, the purple spiritual shock wave suddenly became bright to the point of dazzling.
They weren't the only ones. Inside the brain-shaped castle, three brain demons were also activated and floated directly into the sky. They were also in the form of brains.
These brain golems are actually clone golems formed by the master brain using a part of its own body to bud out, fuse a large amount of brain tissue, and finally harden and assemble. They can be directly controlled by the master brain!
As the cloned golem flew out of the air, the entire city of illithids was almost completely awakened.
Countless slaves and puppets were immediately summoned from the cave and darkness.
Gray dwarves! Drow elves! Blind stone barbarians! Kuo-toa murlocs!
And an army of giant rats! A tribe of giant spiders!
More...
Outside the city, in the huge caves, there were endless curses attached to them. The ugly giants with bulging eyes and tumors, and extremely ugly, also carried their giant clubs and came out roaring.
.
The power and violence of these guys are mainly caused by the uncontrollable curse aura. Even the slaves of the illithids stay far away from them and do not want to get close at all.
Not just a useless giant.
There are also green-footed dragon snakes crawling out of some equally huge caves.
On these giant monsters, arcs of lightning appear from time to time, giving them a bit of the power of the blue dragon.
Then, shadows roared out from the three mage towers, and guarded the three-headed demon statues in the sky.
There are three more groups of illithids with octopus-like heads and four tentacles on their faces. Each group has more than ten heads, and all of them have purple eyes and a faint purple light in their spiritual power.
Headed by Xin Zhe, he also flew out from the mage tower.
Telepath, this is the advanced profession of the psychic!
Those who can advance to the level of telepath, even if they are not legendary psychics, will never be much different!
An illithid telepath in dark purple robes used telepathy to link the brain golem to all the surrounding illithids: "Someone has cast a spell to block the prophecy. It has been able to hide our predictions until now.
Only then did you discover that it was a near-legendary level spellcaster who took action. It may be related to the mysterious legendary assassin the day before yesterday."
Another black-robed illithid telepath: "Under the deep sea, the changes on the aboleth side must also be their hands and feet."
The thoughts of an illithid psychic warlock inserted into the network of several big bosses: "I have sensed that the slaves scattered in the underground tunnels around the city are dying. They come from the west,
It won’t take more than twenty minutes to get here.”
"Get ready to fight!"
"Wake everyone up and take out everything, including the psychic amplifier!"
"I seem to smell the scent of those traitors in the star realm."
The Brain Golem, like the Overmind, has no eyes.
But in the mind, when the news came out, its extraordinarily bright mental power seemed to open its eyes, showing extreme hatred and anger!
The Overmind has absorbed and fused the brains of countless illithids, all of which add up to their hatred of the Githyanki... There is no being who hates the Githyanki more than he does!
At this moment, its already incredibly powerful spiritual power, and through the spread of the amplifier, it has already faintly sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of those traitors, even though it is still far away!
There are a lot of them!
"Githyanki!"
The mental power of the illithid has always been cold, but at this moment, even the legendary psychic warlock's eyes seemed to have flames burning, which was more blazing than the red robe he was wearing!
At this time, there is no need to think about more reasons as to why he was attacked.
There are Githyanki, that's the biggest reason why!
"I'll pilot the Nautilus!"
"If there are Gith, there must be red dragons. I will contain them!"
"They are coming from the west. Let the useless giant and the green-footed dragon snake block them first. Even the red dragon will not be injured if it wants to break out of their blockade."
"The psychic amplifier is controlled by me personally."
The three telepaths, red robe, black robe, and purple robe, completed the exchange of ideas with the master brain's demon clone in just a few moments.
Still maintaining the spiritual network, it dispersed in all directions.
Soon, in the city below, a large number of illithids, who were originally controlling slave puppets with the power of their minds, also walked out of the darkness.
This scale... there are hundreds and nearly thousands!
Their spiritual power is also constantly joining the network, and the scope of the spiritual network is getting larger and larger, and the strength is getting higher and higher.
Such intensity...
In the deepest part of the salt lake, in a dark trench that leads to an unknown place, there is an underwater city that is even darker than the city of illithids.
Some of the deep sea monsters that also waved their tentacles, possessed the same powerful and cold spiritual power, and were equally evil and filthy, at this time also opened their bloody eyes.
"What are these octopus heads doing?"
"The blood-sucking insects were dropped a few days ago. If they hadn't been discovered early and simply lured them there, there might have been some big trouble. And now..."
"Who else dares to find trouble with them?"
These evil creatures have four tentacles, three tumor-like blood-red eyes, and membrane-like skin. They look like fish but not fish, and look like squid but not squid. Their mental fluctuations clearly reveal the thoughts of ridicule and gloating.
A few days ago, those blood-sucking insects were lured to the opposite side of the trench, and they wasted the flesh and blood and souls of a lot of slaves.
How can the illithids make their minds smooth without paying more for the trouble caused by the illithids?
The best result is that both the illithid and the unknown enemy will be harmed, or even both will die!
An extremely large aboleth, not counting its tentacles, was over forty feet long. One of its tentacles pointed somewhere, a tumor-like eye flashed with blood, and a small group of miniature rays immediately appeared.
, swam out of the darkness silently, and quickly floated towards the lake.
"Let me see who it is that allows an array with such a big octopus head to 'welcome'!"
Amidst the fluctuations in the mind, another tentacle was a little ahead, and soon, a water mirror slowly appeared in front of them.
In the water mirror, the group of rays was clearly there, and the picture continued to rise as it floated into the distance.
…
Even the aboleths under the Great Trench could sense the changes in Dundrum, and they were approaching quickly. They even switched formations, with purple worm zombies and centipede monster zombies opening the way. Of course, Isaac and the others were also interested in that.
Bian suddenly felt incredibly powerful mental fluctuations, and he immediately became alert.
"My 'shielding prophecy' was forcibly broken!"
"Without a prophet, it would be difficult for an ordinary legendary psychic to do this."
"Either you have a legendary psychic with a high enough energy level, or... maybe it's what you said, the mastermind of the illithids!"
Eugene looked at General Sauron, and his judgment was biased towards the latter!
"It's just that they can't make a sneak attack. They are just starting to prepare now, how can they be compared to the restraint we have to specifically target them!"
"Illithids are strong in psychic powers, but they are only strong in psychic powers. Once they are restrained, they will be like that!"
"Our attack plan doesn't even need to be changed!"
General Sauron's expression was cold and unchanged, just like before when he revealed the existence of the mastermind until he laid out the attack plan!
Isaac closed his eyes for a moment.
His spiritual level, even though there is still some distance, can still sense the spiritual network over there.
Very strong!
Extremely strong!
but……
He seemed to take a deep breath, but he didn't smell something.
There shouldn't be a certain temple over there!
It is said that the God of the Illithids is a very mysterious, very powerful, and even seemingly powerful god!
However, although illithids generally believe in this person, those who actually choose to become his priests and build temples for him are very few, and even almost invisible.
This was true even during the era of the illithid empire.
Not to mention the current situation.
Without this temple, the biggest possible trouble would be avoided. As General Sauron said, it would just be impossible to attack by surprise!
With the strength of their combined strength, they are afraid that they will not be able to capture that side?
With their urgent need for the golden scroll, can they still fail to attack it?
"The first target is still the Nautilus. However, since they are already prepared, our first wave should be the densest and most powerful."
"And the anti-magic field also restrains psychic spells."
Opening his eyes, he looked at Start and Eugene.
Stat and the others are certainly numerous.
This tactic was originally prepared to be used in the second wave to snipe the legendary psychic warlock after the attack was successful. It seems that it should be appropriately advanced.
"I'm with Chiavendra. Isaac, you join forces with Eugene. Rodnik, you act accordingly."
Start quickly adjusted his plan.
The red dragon Qiawindra was also an old acquaintance of hers, so they naturally wanted to be together.
Isaac, on the other hand, is already familiar with Eugene and Rodnik, so with a little cooperation, there must be no problem.
The most important thing is that the illithids are so powerful that they all kill them without hesitation.
As long as things can be obtained, what else can't be achieved by joining forces and cooperating?
"Watch out for reptiles, watch out for snakes!"
Isaac also followed up with a warning.
If the illithid interprets the existence of the golden scroll, it will definitely use it on the experimental subjects.
I don’t know how many modified bodies they have accumulated over the years!
How many rounds have these modified bodies been eliminated!
"Watch out for snakes and reptiles?"
General Sauron's face was as cold as ever, but his heart couldn't help but move.
What this green dragon means is...
…
The underground tunnel soon came to an end.
Amidst the rumbling and trembling sounds, the four giant insect zombies that were opening the way suddenly stopped at a corner.
After passing this corner and going straight out, you will find Dundrum!
And at this moment...
The ugly giants with protruding eyes like sarcomas that make people's hearts tremble at the sight of them are trying to widen their cursed eyes to stare at everything in the tunnel.
It's not just this tunnel.
There is a tunnel exit right next to it, and there is a powerful electric element, mixed with an aura that makes the dragon naturally disgusted, and it is also waiting for opportunities outside.
"Set up the psychic blaster!"
The Githyanki have truly gotten into a fighting spirit.
The power of psychic energy is being activated, and it is being combined with the equipment they are equipped with. After a gem lights up on the silver sword of Gith in their hands, a certain edge arises that the power of the mind is born to avoid.
Following Sauron's order, the two teams of reserve knights pushing the psychic blasting cannons immediately set them up in the tunnel, with the muzzles pointed directly outside the tunnel.
Several more groups of Githyanki stepped forward at the same time, turning on their psychic powers and activating their cannons...
The two commanders, Sauron and Rampas, had already mounted on the backs of their red dragon mounts.
But they did not rush out directly, nor did they let the giant insect zombies charge now. They only paid attention to the movements outside, while patiently waiting for the students, and continuously instilled psychic energy into the cannon.
Within the cannon, powerful psychic energy is rapidly gathering.
Gradually, even light was born deep in the barrel.
The brilliance is getting brighter and brighter, and there is even light that has penetrated the barrel.
The extremely powerful and extremely concentrated psychic power is constantly combining structures in the cannon in some mysterious way.
This transformation...
"This is a race that hates illithids to the core and points their fingers at illithids for everything!"
"Even at my spiritual level, I can faintly feel some danger!"
Isaac's eyes flickered slightly.
General Sauron has completely taken over the command.
"Prepare the psychic blaster at the first level! Prepare the giant insect zombies at the second level! The golem army will follow closely! The Scarlet Knights are ready to respond at any time!"
"Cannon, fire!"
Zoro shouted deeply, and two cannons, like a volcano erupting, two balls of light that were as dazzling as the sun, shot out like beams of light.
Just now it shot into the sky, as if it had touched the web of the soul, and the two balls of light exploded at the same time.
Incomparably dazzling bright light!
However, no energy shock wave was generated!
The light of this explosion just blasted into the spiritual net, and the violent psychic vibrations smashed the frontal spiritual net into pieces. Only the bright area in the core can stabilize these vibrations and explosions.
"Giant insect zombie, kill!"
"Golem Legion, charge!"
"Scarlet Knights, follow me!"
"The psychic blaster continues to store energy and prepare for free bombing!"
General Sauron's orders came one after another.
After issuing the last order, the giant insect zombie in front had just charged up, the golem army was just preparing, and the two commanders also rode out on red dragons.
Isaac and Stater also took their respective positions.
The power of his mind has even sensed the existence of the Nautilus!
