Fang Plover looked up at the slowly disappearing light red in the sky. The square gradually became quiet, the soldiers stopped, and the audience stopped running away. The giant suit on the ground did not move, and the people inside climbed out.
With an expression of bewilderment, he looked at the sky quietly.
The barrier disappeared...
The alchemists of Elfendor were at a loss.
Since the Battle of Bain, this tower that has stood since the Numelin era has long transcended its own existence and become the sustenance of people's hearts. People believe that as long as the tower still exists, Vanric will remain standing.
It seems that it is no longer a vision or a boast, but has become an objective fact, and everyone firmly believes in it.
But now the tower is no different, and the great craftsmen of the Elfendor Council are still on the square, but the barrier has disappeared. The long-term peace makes people not think about what happened for the first time, but are at a loss what to do.
Bewildered and slow.
The first person to react was Ender. He was the first to turn around and walk quickly toward the Elfendor Council members outside the square.
The guard stopped in front of him a little at a loss. Ender looked at these poor people and only scolded:
"Get out of the way. As long as you still have family members in the port area and don't want them to die, then go away and return to your posts."
The soldiers looked at each other, but involuntarily separated a path.
Ander then turned around and waved to Fang Plover, gesturing for him to follow. Fang Plover glanced at the square where time seemed to have stood still, helped Jita up, and followed with the others.
"What should we do, vikki?" Zheng Yongzai adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice.
"You know how to ask me now?" Vikki said angrily: "Follow me and take a look."
The two followed Fang Plover and others and also passed through the crowd.
Finally, there was the lizard priest from Naka Cuilan, following behind everyone slowly.
Count Ronnier watched this scene unfold in the distance, but he did not stop it. In fact, he was still in a sluggish state.
The old man walked quickly to the others and said with a serious face: "Sonan, the sticklebacks are attacking the city. I suspect there is a mole in the Elfendor Spire!"
"Damn it," Sonam Steelbrow, who had been beaten up with a bruised nose and face, turned around and said, "I know, it's Korath, old blacksmith, we are in big trouble this time."
"Alborite has the ability to self-repair, but it will take at least thirty minutes to restart with the backup system," Ender said calmly, "but we must hold on for these thirty minutes and first evacuate the residents in the port area."
"No." Count Xilin Spica shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's too late..."
He said something with some fear, looking straight in the direction of the port area.
There is a line of emerald green light.
…
When the barrier collapsed, Alyssa actually had a bad premonition.
The light red light curtain flickered for a moment under the impact of Korath's huge body, and then shattered into pieces in her eyes like a collapsed glass curtain wall.
The fish-man god let out a scream, and the resonance of the twelve huge ugly heads was full of bloodthirsty killing desire. When its cold gaze swept across the lake shore, the huge sense of oppression made the twins
My sister's heartbeat almost stopped.
She never thought that there would be such a huge difference between facing this terrifying monster and being separated by a barrier.
The terrifying monster crossed the barrier for the first time and rushed onto the pier. The long trestle was as big as a toothpick under its feet and broke into several pieces.
It crashed through Pier 3, and a wave poured into the port area. The stranded Skaar Beauty came sideways and hit the steel-like scales on its chest and abdomen. The hull let out an overwhelmed scream and was shattered in the blink of an eye.
It whirled and sank into the water and disappeared.
Under the control of the craftsmen, several constructs crashed into it like moths to a flame, but they were like pebbles thrown into the sea, unable to make any waves.
This only angered Korath. It raised its head and sprayed out two streams of poisonous water and fire from its two heads, sweeping across the port. The soldiers and combat craftsmen on the dock were retreating in panic, but in an instant
Caught in it, a roaring, lung-splitting scream suddenly erupted.
At this time, the city guards on the dock lost their fighting spirit and collapsed on the spot, turning around and fleeing.
But behind them were the sticklebacks emerging from the water. They used the short spears in their hands to shoot at the soldiers with their backs exposed. The short spears fell like raindrops, and the latter fell down like harvested crops.
This triggered further panic, and the defense lines in the port area were instantly shattered.
The fish people whimpered with excitement. In their ancient and simple memories, their god Korath led them to victory in this way, just like the scene today.
"Corath, Korath!" the fishmen screamed, and the voice was automatically translated into a language that Alisa could understand in the system, but the weird accent made her shudder.
The big cat man and Baggins looked at this scene with solemn expressions.
They saw several sticklebacks covered in shells, aquatic plants and fish bones parting from the water and walking out of the lake. They were obviously of high status, and the surrounding murlocs all calmed down and bowed their heads to them.
Those fishmen slave workers on the periphery even crawled down one by one and lay on the ground.
"Those are the water dwellers, the sacrifices of the stickleback fish people. Apart from Korath, they have the highest status among the fish people community."
Baggins whispered: "Four, we are in big trouble."
The lion man looked at him curiously.
Baggins then explained: "Behind a great diviner is a clan, which means that at least four clans participated in this attack. This is a scale not seen in ten years. The sticklebacks also fight fiercely among themselves.
They rarely act in such a unified manner unless there is someone behind the scenes to unify them.”
He paused: "Just like what the Dragon Worship Cult did thirteen years ago."
Under their gaze, the four murloc diviners stopped. They raised their bone staffs in the knee-deep water and began to mutter words while dancing strange dances.
But there was nothing beautiful about the dance, it just made people feel weird and uneasy.
"What kind of evil ritual is that?" Rhett picked up the scepter and asked coldly: "Can we stop them?"
"You can try it."
Baggins answered calmly without fear.
But at this moment, Alyssa’s slightly trembling voice came:
"what is that……"
An emerald green light casts off on the lake.
But it was actually a wave. It was just a wave of one or two meters at first, but it was rising higher and higher, and soon formed an airtight wall of water. The wall was still rising further, and it gradually gave off a chilling sound.
The rumbling sound.
The three of them looked up at this scene.
"Quickly, let Mr. Huiyan retreat into the forest," Red suddenly said: "There is a tall mangrove over there. We'd better not attract that big guy's attention."
He has calculated that the wave will submerge the high ground here.
Alyssa turned around and ran back without saying a word.
But the tide moved faster, rolling over the lake shore and overflowing through the forest. Alyssa felt a huge force coming from behind, as if she was about to be sucked into it. But her hands were weak, and she used all her strength to push the 'Dawn' in her hand towards
Throwing it forward, a bolt of lightning passed through a tree trunk there, causing the tall mangrove tree to fall down with a loud noise.
The water wave pushed Alyssa forward and hit the tree trunk hard. She groaned, but she also seized this opportunity to hug the trunk tightly to prevent herself from being swept away by the water. At this time, the 'dawn' turned into an arc and flew back,
Alyssa raised her head and bit her dagger with her teeth.
She watched the mighty flood surge forward. There were all kinds of debris floating on the water, and there were even a few panicked lizards struggling in the whirlpool, but they disappeared in an instant.
The tide continued to move forward and hit Mr. Gray Rock, pushing the latter back continuously and overwhelming a patch of tamarisk. But at this moment, Alyssa saw the Guy device on it glowing faintly, and the Attila on it was reversed.
The magic furnace was activated, and the gravity generated steadily pressed the beast of burden to the ground.
She couldn't help but feel lucky that the big cat man reminded her in time.
It was at this time that a furry paw stretched out. Alyssa looked up and found that the big cat man had climbed onto the trunk of the tree at some point and was standing there steadily. And Baggins was also on the other side of the tree.
Go up, squatting on the tree and looking in the direction of the port.
Alyssa thanked the other party and climbed up before looking behind her. Since their side was originally on high ground, the power of the flood was limited. After a surge, the tide receded quickly.
But it's different at the port.
Alyssa watched the huge waves of water pouring into the port, directly covering the roofs one after another, turning the original streets into a marsh. Countless people were drifting with the waves, not only the guards and craftsmen in the port, but also
Many civilians cried and cried throughout the sky.
As if in an instant, a quarter of Vanrick disappeared.
Seeing this, the twin sister turned her head with some pity and couldn't bear to look any further.
"Ed and the others are still in the city." She asked very worriedly.
"The water won't reach the city center for a while. The terrain over there is higher," the big cat man frowned. He was wearing heavy armor and couldn't use it in this land. Looking at the tragic scene in the distance, he
He was also helpless, so he took out the pipe in silence, but after hitting it with a flint several times, he failed to ignite it. He just shook his head and put it back again.
Only then did he comfort him: "Ed and the others should be fine."
But at this moment, Baggins suddenly turned back to the two of them from the tree and shouted:
"I saw Parker and the box."
…
city center.
Everyone in the Elfendor Council stared blankly at the tragic scene in front of them.
The green wall finally pressed down overwhelmingly, forming a wave that poured into the lower city. In an instant, a quarter of the city disappeared, and along with it, countless lives disappeared.
This makes people think of the Battle of Bain thirteen years ago, when the cultists and the sticklebacks also launched an attack on the city, but that time, Vanrick did not suffer such a big loss.
"Damn these," the dwarf's bronze face showed a trace of panic, and he cursed with regret: "If I find them out, I will definitely take out their intestines and hang them alive, one by one.
Do not stay"
"What's the use of talking about this," Ander sighed: "Let people protect the temple of Ori, Roman and Angina. Don't let what happened thirteen years ago happen again. We can't let people die again.
Once.”
Several craftsmen nodded when they heard this and immediately took the order and left.
Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw Pudra moving, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
The potions master was startled and looked at him gloomily: "What?"
Fang Yu didn't waste any time talking to him. He raised his right hand and flashed two blue lights, one on the left and one on the right. Two powerful angels appeared behind Pudra. Although Pudra was a great craftsman, he was just an alchemist. How could this be possible?
It's his opponent.
The latter looked panicked when he saw this, and subconsciously took a step back to call for the guards. But how could Fang Yu give him this opportunity? He only ordered the Angel to pierce the opponent's magic furnace with one sword, and the other Angel to elbow it.
Hit Pudra on the lower abdomen.
Pudra groaned and immediately bent over in pain.
The movement here finally attracted everyone's attention.
Suonan was shocked when he saw this and said angrily: "Boy, what are you doing!"
But just as he was about to step forward, Karin stretched out his ax and stopped him in front of his brother: "You idiot, think carefully about what this guy has done."
Ender turned around at this time, looked at Pudra and shook his head slightly: "Pudela, the guards reported earlier that you were the only student who had entered the central hall of Elfendor Tower before."
Pudra was spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled his eyes: "Really, but how come I heard that there are people from Stargate Port."
"If no one turns off the defense system in the hall, it will be impossible for outsiders to enter the central hall of the tower through the secret passage. Moreover, your students are mixing with the lizards. This is something the guards have seen with their own eyes. What else do you have to say?
"
"Although he is my student, he is just a chosen one."
"But he has your order in hand. As one of the top seven people in the council, only you have the authority to let your students enter the central area."
"He might have stolen it."
Ander sneered: "Maybe, but you can't escape the suspicion. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after this is over. But now, please don't leave our sight, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Pudra took a breath and replied bitterly: "I am also a member of the parliament. You cannot put me under house arrest. I demand fair treatment."
"Unfortunately, we are in wartime now," Ender replied: "This is a decision made by the old Speaker and I. Among the three Speakers, only Old Copper Nose did not express his position. Two to one, the vote ended."
Pudra fell silent for a moment.
Only the old dwarf muttered: "You didn't tell me either."
Ender was extremely dissatisfied with him and didn't even look at him. He only glanced back at Fang Plover and nodded to him approvingly.
Everyone seemed to have noticed this 'Son of the Star'. In the previous competition, this young man's performance was enough to amaze anyone. In comparison, Luo Lin, who was recommended by Count Xilin Spica, was simply
Gloomy.
Count Xilin Spica himself looked at Fang Plover with some silence.
But Fang Plover himself did not feel any sense of complacency at all.
He looked at Pudra who fell on the ground and remained silent. He was the one who had watched Luo Lin and the Shadow Throne, but he didn't expect that there would be another mole within the Elfendor Council. He had suspected it before
For this master of potions, it's a pity that this suspicion came too late.
He looked back at the lower city area of Zeguo and couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, the craftsmen were able to remain calm at this critical moment, and quickly issued one order after another. Their tasks were nothing more than two aspects, one was to further evacuate the crowd, and the other was to stop Korath's progress.
But after all, the Elfendor Council is just an alliance of alchemists, not an adventurer's guild. After losing the support of the Elfendor Spire, the only thing the craftsmen can mobilize is the large and small members of the combat craftsman department.
There are just over a hundred combat craftsmen.
But the vast majority of these people are newcomers with no combat experience, and less than one-third of them are actually able to participate in the battle.
And this third group was led by two great craftsmen from the Combat Craftsman Department and headed to the battlefield first.
The City Guards are no longer reliable. Not to mention that Count Ronnier has completely lost his ability to command and looks like he is in a state of despair, waiting to die. Moreover, in the previous battle, most of the 'Iron Curtain' structures of the City Guards
They were all mobilized to the square. Now that the road to the lower city has been destroyed, these giant structures are trapped in this place.
Without heavy equipment, how could the soldiers fight Korath with just their flesh and blood?
What's more, the long-term peace has long since consumed their only combat effectiveness. Not to mention facing Korath, even if they faced the sticklebacks, the end would be disastrous.
Everyone obviously realized this and no longer focused on the city guards. At this time, Ender made a bold decision with the support of Falaise and Carlin-Steelbrow.
Cooperate with Stargate Port
After all, these earthlings are obviously much more reliable than Ronil.
Su Changfeng was not surprised by the craftsmen's choice.
He just glanced at Fang Yu, and couldn't help but think of what the other party and his daughter had been investigating. Unfortunately, the Dragon Worshipers were obviously hidden deeper than they imagined. Who would have thought that among the Elfendor Council,
Among the seven most powerful people, one of them is a Dragon Worshiper?
Even he couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do.
He listened silently to everyone's descriptions, and without any hesitation, he answered directly: "Everyone, our nearest warship is within a quarter of an hour's journey. It will be difficult to stop Korath for half an hour, but it shouldn't be a problem for a quarter of an hour.
"
He pointed at the map that was spread out and said: "Currently, Korath should be heading along this route. In front of it is the temple of the goddess Roman. There are many resurrected people there. We must do everything possible to stop it before this.
"
Su Changfeng raised his head and looked at everyone: "In addition, against an opponent of Korath's level, the number is meaningless. We must gather our strongest group. Therefore, I, and two of your allies will fight
The head of the craftsman department should be responsible for facing the enemy head-on, as for the others."
He paused for a moment: "The main task is to stop the sticklebacks and prevent them from causing further damage in the city."
"Finally," he continued, "when the city guards are unreliable, we have to rely on the strength of adventurers. This requires a prestigious person to summon the adventurers in the square. It is best for this person to choose
Summoners, because as far as I know, summoners account for the vast majority of the adventurers in the Southern Territory."
People's eyes subconsciously turned to Fang Plover.
As the winner of the just-concluded competition, the Son of the Stars, and also the Chosen One, except for him.
Who else is more qualified for this job?
But Fang Plover frowned.
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where's Luo Lin? Has anyone seen him?"
