Chapter 1117 Scene 434 Raging Sea, Gathering Storm XI
It was like a pair of eyes opened in the darkness, with turquoise-like pupils, containing tenderness, looking at that small world - an island, surrounded by the shadow of the storm, whirlpools and sea waves.
The reflection in those eyes was overflowing with colorful light, like iridescent tourmaline.
The narrow pupils were slightly open.
The goddess closed her slender eyes and gazed in a farther direction like a snake, even taking in the entire Storm Islands, Campa and the northern border of the empire. The world was like a huge chess game. She
His slender fingers picked up one of the chess pieces and placed it on the chessboard.
"And you will all be mine."
At that moment, the situation above the sea of clouds seemed to be changing.
The violent storm that was in sight seemed to blow everything about Andreus into the sky, including trees, rubble, roofs, and even the stone bricks on the city wall. The shop signs were clanking. The heavy rain that covered the sky and the ground obscured the sight, and the sky was covered with heavy rain.
The end of the line between sea and sky turned into confusion.
The soldiers braved the wind and rain to climb up the wall, while the fire in the tower was flickering. The men took out their weapons and walked through the door. The biting cold wind immediately hit their faces, making the room extremely cold. "Hurry up to the wall."
go!"
Captain Odom shouted loudly.
The middle-aged man handed out the armor in his hand one by one, while looking at the people in front of him. Most of the men in line were silent and had firm eyes, "May Ori bless you, and the empire will protect us."
"Mr. Odom, behind us are our wives, children, and children. We will try to hold on until the moment they evacuate," the men sneered, "As for the empire, let's protect the consul."
Odom rarely objected and just nodded silently.
He looked back at the top of the city, where water shimmered on the armor of the guards, like a layer of mist. Most of those soldiers held their swords in one hand and held their spears flat on the top of the stack.
The archers were preparing behind them and were adjusting their longbows, but even the magic bow could not play a big role in such weather. The rainwater gathered on the bow arms and flowed down like streams.
There is also a curtain of water hanging from the eaves of the flat-top helmet, and when you touch it with your backhand, it is covered with water splashes.
On the contrary, the musketeers are not greatly affected by such an environment, because the firing array of the magic gun is not affected by moisture like early firearms in another world, but the requirements for the magic furnace are higher and there are certain requirements for personal strength.
, so Andreus did not have many musketeers equipped.
And the roebuck-headed archon took away most of them, leaving only a small team behind.
The young man wiped the rainwater from the gun barrel and stared with gray eyes at the mountain-high cloud wall on the horizon - the clouds rose tens of meters, sweeping in like a tsunami and pouring into the port. People watched this
Within everyone's sight, several white wavy lines soon appeared——
The bunches of silvery waves are increasing in number, like schools of fish in the clouds, using their fins to separate the water and gather together.
The Nagas are coming.
"It's Naga!"
"The storm is coming, the Nagas are coming!"
"Everyone, work harder and hold on until everyone evacuates!"
"For the Empire!"
"For Andreus!"
People shouted in unison.
Even if the consul has abandoned them, even if the empire in their minds has given up on everything, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor will not look at these people again, but people still respond to that slogan for the first time in their hearts. This is not
Is it because of honor or loyalty——
It’s because the hometown is behind you.
Andreus still had young men, most of whom were half-grown boys. Many of them also assumed the responsibilities of men at this moment, guarding their relatives or sisters; most of these young people had never experienced anything before.
In any battle, at this moment, either the eyes are shining with eagerness to try, or they are worried——
There were drops of water hanging on the curly black hair, and there was still a look of nervousness on the pale face. Some people even subconsciously raised the magic gun in their arms, but they were stopped by the veterans on the side, "Don't shoot, wait until they get closer."
"
Sharp fins have appeared on the sea surface, and Nagas are swimming like snakes in the wind element layer. They float to the surface of the sea in rows, draw out their throwing spears from their backs, and throw them hard towards the port from a hundred meters away.
The spear flew into the air and formed a black spot.
"Be careful about covering up!"
Shouts came from the sentry tower.
There was a roaring sound in the air, and the spear flew over a hundred meters with the force of the storm, drawing a long arc and falling towards the city head. The soldiers set up their large shields, and the wooden shields immediately vibrated.
Unable to stop, there was a dull sound like raindrops hitting it.
The spear even penetrated the wooden shield several centimeters thick, and thrust out from the other end while the wood chips were flying. Immediately, someone fell injured and screamed.
"Fight back!"
the veterans shouted.
The young people opened their shields and raised their magic guns. Others who could no longer hold back pulled the triggers one by one, and sparks burst out from between the crenellations. The battle began here, and blood flowers also emerged from the bay.
The female warriors of the Naga clan bloom.
But these injuries are often not fatal. The injured Naga immediately dived into the wind element layer, and the replacement Naga surfaced, and then launched the next round of attacks——
A thrown spear was passing through the sky, hitting a guard in the chest, causing him to roll down from the tall gray city wall of Lychiam without a word.
But no one around even noticed this scene - Likiam, one of the largest ports in the north, can even be said to be the administrative center of Seti - but as the northern edge of the continent, this silver giant
The land guarded by the city, together with Campa in the south, suffered the first round of this disgraceful storm.
And in Hanruina, a fact that everyone knows is——
Naga is the storm, and the storm is the Naga.
As the masters of storms and mothers of whirlpools, Narsuyu's daughters have always been connected with the frightening power of nature. When huge waves rise above the sea of clouds, these scaly banshees must follow them everywhere.
.
But in Lychiam the scene was even greater than in Andreus.
A main force of Nagas attacked here. The Nagas' Octopus spaceship was floating above the sea of clouds in the sky. Their former alliance, the descendants of the Storm Giants, were riding dragons towards Likiam's 30-meter-high silver sky.
The giant gray wall attacks.
The dragon wings even covered the sky, and the spears fell like raindrops. The human guards set up large shields and used magic ballistas to fight back. Knights in silver helmets shuttled between the city walls, and the Craftsmen Association also sent out all the war fighters.
Craftsmen, under the guidance of those alchemists, batches of constructs shining with blue light are rising from the city wall.
But the fight in the sky can only be described as a stalemate——
"——Silver Knight, follow me!"
The knight captain shouted in the pouring rain and hit his breastplate with his hand, "They went up to the west spire and drove down those scaly female beasts for the sake of Oshur!"
"For Osur!"
The knights pushed open the door of the hall and filed out, forming a silver torrent on top of the city. Wherever the torrent went, everything was invincible. Narsuyu's daughters had just killed them on the west city wall.
After all the human guards here had established a defense line, they immediately collapsed.
The Silver Helmet knight pushed the Naga clan back to the wall and threw the corpses from the top of the city. Only patches of blood were left in the rain. The blood flowed along the stream on the city wall, staining the silver-gray city wall.
There were streaks of red color.
The Temple of the Sun in Likiam was built at the highest point of the entire city. The triangular vault of the temple is embedded in the mountain. Below it are thirty-two stone pillars. Two hundred and forty white marble steps lead to the gray below.
A square built with stone foundations.
There is a white oak tree in the square, which is the favorite tree of all the saints in Orin and the symbol of the forest goddess Aimea. The Archbishop of Lykiam is standing in front of the tree at the moment, its silver-gray hair soaked by the wind and rain.
Bishop's robe, but he didn't realize it, looking at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression——
As the second and third Naga Octopus ships arrived, the storm gradually created a huge mountain-like wave in the sea of clouds, like a huge wall, capsizing towards Likiam.
The shadow of the cloud wall covered most of the sky, as if the entire sky had collapsed.
Likiam is also a port city built on the shore of the empty sea. Its port goes deep into the bay, and the outermost city wall stands on the cliffs of the continental mountains. The huge waves bear the brunt of the city wall and are the first to hit it.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look at this scene that looked like the end of the world.
And after that huge wave, there are more shadows in the wind element layer, all of which are the shadows of the Naga clan. These sea monsters are lining up layer by layer as if they are riding the wind and waves, and as the huge waves hit the port, once the defense line is broken.
That's when they went on a killing spree.
"Open the city barrier!"
The craftsmen screamed, and some rushed to various control nodes, trying to open the protective barrier on the city wall.
But before that, Archbishop Fariband gently raised his scepter in the center of the square and knocked it gently under the holy tree. A soft white light rose from the temple of Ori into the sky and turned into a rain of light.
fall.
The light rain formed a transparent barrier, causing the huge wave to hit the light curtain. The curtain wall covering the entire city flashed slightly, and the mountain-like huge wave immediately fell into pieces. Countless Nagas who were riding the wind and waves behind them also instantly
It turns into powder in between.
But the light curtain disappeared without a trace after a flash. But after the wind and waves subsided, there were second, third, and even countless huge waves. Faribbank raised his head and looked at the cloud-covered sky. The waves of the storm
The gloom almost enveloped the entire outer sea of Hanruina.
The black clouds are forming a slowly rotating cloud wall thousands of miles away, approaching the mainland little by little, and this is just its vanguard. The storm that can destroy everything will wipe out everything it sweeps.
Can Likiam really resist?
Faribank seemed to see those turquoise eyes behind the storm, looking at the world with colorful light, looking at everything she had long coveted. The saints of the past were emerging from the darkness.
Returning from the Central Plains, planning the world that belongs to them.
He took back his scepter and prayed silently in his heart, but when he looked back, he saw that the sacred tree behind him was silent, and there was no response from the direction of the temple. Instead, the breath of another god echoed in the heavy rain.
The rain washed away the oak leaves and scattered them all over the square.
A group of low-level clergy stood silently behind the archbishop. Faribbank looked back at these people and finally said: "Go and inform the consul. We have to ask the empire for assistance."
A messenger followed the instructions and left.
Faribank looked at the latter silently, "The empire gave up on Campa, but will it give up on Seti this time? The big storm is more violent than imagined. After the sea of light is extinguished, everything can no longer go back to the past.
Already."
"Oh my God," he muttered silently in his mind: "The silver wall of Likiam can no longer block the coveted gaze of the Naga God, but how long will we retreat to? Today's
All saints, please give your followers an answer..."
"Or is it all worth it?"
…
The Nagas used the Stone of the Abyss, a kind of luminous feldspar, for illumination. The cold light of the crystal seemed quiet and emitted a dim blue light. Vastana looked at the dim blue light, and two lines suddenly flowed down on the statue of the goddess.
Blood and tears, he couldn't help but fall into fanatical emotions.
The great mistress of the Naga clan turned around, faced everyone, waved the blade in her hand, and said with some joy: "Great Narsuyu, our beloved mother, the mistress of the sky and the sea, she has issued an order
She has received the oracle and ordered us to do whatever it takes to achieve her will."
"She was angry."
"That anger will surely make waves throughout the entire Kukai. The time left by the great mother is running out for us. Do you hear me, my daughters, go activate that magic and make those unfaithful people fall into hell."
She pointed the blade forward.
The blade seemed to separate an invisible path among the Nagas in front of them. Under the guidance of the matron, the Nagas immediately fell into the same fanaticism. First, the Nagas of the Silver Moon clan, and then
The Withered Bones Clan, the Dead Skeleton Naga, and the Abyss Clan all turned around and swam in the same direction——
In the direction pointed by the silver blade of the Great Mistress, there is a huge open square. The Nagas are coming to the surroundings of the square, swimming in circles around the square, then raising their arms high and cutting with daggers.
His slender wrist caused blood to flow out of it.
But the blood did not flow to the ground. The Nagas were praising in unison, and the sharp and sweet sounds echoed layer by layer in the vast underground space. Amidst the strange tones, the entire underground space seemed to vibrate - blood beads
Floating into the air amidst the vibration, it then headed towards the center of the square.
Countless blood gathered into a huge sphere, suspended in the air in the square, and the blood beads connected into curved lines, one end connected to the sphere, and the other end connected to the raised wrists of many Nagas.
Vastana watched this scene with satisfaction. Then she swam to the center of the square, then raised her six arms high, looked up at the blood cells circulating in the air, opened her mouth, and uttered a strange syllable.
And it was that moment.
The entire underground world shook slightly.
Not far from the square, surrounded by honeycomb-like underground caves, Papalar stumbled and almost fell into a dog-gnawed mud. He quickly held on to the stalactite column next to him with his hands, feeling a little angry.
Looking at this scene in the distance with dismay:
"What happened? An earthquake? What are they doing?"
"Ritual Magic."
Before Luo Hao could speak, the naturalist on the side had already answered worriedly: "That is the Great Mistress of Naga. It should be said that she is the second-largest existence under the abyss after the God of Naga, Narsuyu. They are preparing
A ritual, I said it's not very good, what kind of magic is it...but I always feel a little...unsafe..."
"Miss Kita, do you also have spells that you don't recognize?"
Luo Hao asked in surprise. At the same time, he looked back at everything that happened in the square. Not long ago, they spent a lot of effort to get rid of the Naga clan's pursuers, but they didn't expect that they were trapped in
into this heavy encirclement.
The closer they go to the outer periphery, the heavier the Naga clan's troops search for them. On the contrary, when they go inward, the opponent's defense becomes weaker. So by a strange combination of circumstances, they actually come all the way inward to this place. This inexplicable
On the square.
Jita shook her head: "Although there are many spells in the world, most of them are recorded in the magic book. The magic book can be said to be a living magic library. This is indeed true. But the ritual spells are a little different...
…”
Ritual magic is all kinds of strange, and its sources are mostly different. In addition to the ritual magic studied by the magicians, the warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon are the best at ritual spells, but most of these spells come from the arcane magic casting system.
.
They were originally derived from the Sinsus snake-men or the Numerin elves, and were later inherited by the Oshurs. They were promoted and passed down by the earliest generations of magic emperors, and were inherited by the magicians of various countries.
In addition, believers of each god also have their own exclusive ritual spells. Even the druids in the ancient forest also master different mysterious rituals. Not to mention the many evil gods who cannot be named.
, their followers also master many evil ritual spells that have never been made public.
It is an impossible task to unify these strange ritual spells.
There are also some ritual spells in the legend that can be effective without using the power of crystal and ether. The ancient knowledge from the stone tablets of the Lizard people is still a field that people cannot explore to this day.
After listening to her explanation, Luo Hao was relieved: "...But you are right, this ritual doesn't look right no matter how you look at it. If you let these Nagas prepare this spell here, I always feel that something bad will happen."
"Wait a minute," the Papalar interrupted him immediately: "You don't want to stop them, do you? That's their mistress, Vastana, didn't you listen to what she just said?
He is a figure second only to the God of Naga."
He hurriedly stopped and said: "I object. In other words, the great matron of the Naga clan may at least have the strength of a dragon knight. Are any of us their opponents? Even the Silver Order can't deal with us.
, not to mention there are so many scaly monsters around her."
"But if we don't think of a way, we can't leave this place," Luo Hao said. "The Nagas who are searching for us from the outside will always find something is wrong. When they start to shrink their troops inward, none of us can escape."
He stepped on the solid sand under his feet, "You also felt it just now, that earthquake-like movement. This was just the movement caused by the activation of this ritual spell. Do you think we can still have a good time when they are ready?"
He shook his head and said: "If we go out now, we might die, but we can still be resurrected. But who knows what the effects of those Naga spells are. Do you dare to gamble with your star, Parker?"
The Papalars were stunned for a moment: "Okay... I admit that what you said makes sense, but is there really such a coincidence? What if their spells are not so strong, maybe we won't die.
?”
"Well said, just in case, so in case there are always two possibilities," Luo Hao spread his hands and looked at the others, "So you mean to sit back and wait for death?"
"That's not true..." The Papalar paralyzed and accepted the other party's statement.
"So you agree?" Luo Hao asked: "Okay, let's vote. My opinion is that Miss Alyssa is also blocked on the opposite side. If we don't go out and make a fuss, we won't be able to reconcile with her."
He looked at everyone one by one: "Meet with Miss Nightingale, and then try to contact the group leader and Miss Sylvide. Do you want to give it a try and vote?"
Jita hesitated for a moment, but after Luo Hao mentioned Ed, she still raised her hand.
The box was on the side, and he raised the magic sword Gwendes in his hand.
Finally, Luo Hao himself stretched out his hand, and then looked at the Papalar people aside. Parker spread his hands and said angrily: "You all agreed, what else can I do? Well, you are right,
Waiting for death is not the custom of the Papalar people, let's find a way to add some drama to those scaly monsters."
Luo Hao then looked at Jita on the side and said: "Jita, you continue to try to contact the leader. If you are contacted, see if he can give us some advice. If Yin Falcon hasn't replied before then,
Then we will prepare as planned."
He pointed in that direction, "I'm going to send a message to Miss Alyssa, and we'll see if we can try to interfere with the Naga's spells."
