Jita raised her hand and pointed there. The huge round-rimmed glasses lenses on her slender nose reflected the light, and her expression at the moment could not be seen clearly. She could only follow the robe on the arms of this short and fragile scholar lady.
The folds, the bright wrists covered underneath, the ups and downs of the arms, and the direction pointed by the slender fingertips.
The fortress built by the imperial people in the underground world stands on the island in the middle of the lake. The imperial soldiers with black helmets and black armor are gathering back. They crossed the gray-white lake bottom plain and gathered back like the claws of a giant beast.
From a distance, it looks like a black tie, but it has not completely retreated into the fortress. On the contrary, the Oshu fortress has opened every door in all directions, and more searchlights are on the fortress walls.
It was lit up, and beams of light were thrown into the darkness.
The cold light illuminates this underground world.
Under the gaze of everyone, more imperial soldiers were pouring out from behind the gate of the fortress. The dense crowd formed a formation below the island in the middle of the lake, forming several long battle lines and surrounding the fortress from several directions.
Got up.
From a distance, they look like...
"Wait a minute," Alyssa suddenly reacted and muttered, "Why do the Imperials look like they are preparing to fight against some enemy?"
"Enemy, what enemy? What happened over there?"
Xiaoyao had just recovered from the previous earthquake, and before he had time to see what was happening in that direction, he got up on his hands and feet and quickly went to ask the others.
But no one answered him. Fang Pulou turned around and stared at the construct he threw under the rock crevice. It was actually a simply modified 'Ts-1 Lurker'. After learning about the mining area
After the earth element was raging below, he mounted a simple elemental crystal on it.
At this moment, the crystal was emitting a dazzling light. Fortunately, it was blocked by huge rocks in this direction, and the lights on the Imperial side were bright, so no one noticed this direction. But Fang Plover looked at his own with a solemn expression.
Magical sparks are bursting out from the construct.
The lurker's magic furnace is making a squeaking sound, and every part on it is about to fall apart. The core crystal inside has already turned golden and red, and the gravity field surrounding the periphery has been obviously distorted.
It's not that the space itself is torn apart, but that the magic engine in the lurker is about to be unable to support it.
Something is clearly breaking out of the ground.
"There's something underground."
Luo Yu stood behind him and propped one end of the staff on the ground, obviously aware of this.
But in fact, he didn't need to be a reminder. Fang Yu always held the magic glove tightly, and the last instruction he gave was to maintain the gravity trap at all costs and keep those things firmly pressed underground. Whenever this happened, his mind would spin.
Quickly, he was turning his peripheral vision in other directions——
It has become unsafe here, but there are still Imperial troops behind us.
"Prepare to retreat——"
He opened his mouth and was about to give an order.
But someone reacted faster than him. "Alyssa," Sylvide turned around and ordered Miss Nightingale beside her. She had mapped the map before and knew the terrain of this area well, "Look at the rocky promontory over there.
Are you there? Please help others build a ropeway, Miss Luo Wei and the others can’t move fast.”
Miss Nightingale was well aware of the race against time at this moment, so she didn't say much. She nodded and disappeared from the spot, turning into a shadow and walking between the rocks.
Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction to his ship officer, and then said to the others: "Everyone retreat, we can't move forward anymore, I will break the rear!"
He stared in that direction without looking back. Ts-1 was obviously reaching its limit, and an electric arc even bounced out of his magic glove.
"But……"
Shui Wuming raised his head and wanted to say something.
But when she saw the electric sparks on Fang Plover's gloves, she couldn't help being frightened, and she didn't say the next words.
But this place is only one step away from the entrance to the underground world. As long as they work harder, they will fall short. No one can bear it. This craftswoman from Elite naturally has a trace of her subconscious mind.
Lucky mentality.
But Xiaoyao is much more discerning.
After all, he didn't want to give away Xinghui here for no reason, so he quickly pulled Shui Wuming over and said, "Don't question it, Ed and the others are much more experienced than us. Listen to him, we still have a chance.
Have you forgotten? He is the Dragon Alchemist!"
After all, Shui Wuming was the one who stood out among the many challengers. He immediately reacted and nodded quickly.
But the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Even if it has been modified by Fang Plover, the gravity trap range of Ts-1 is only about twenty meters. And further away, a large number of earth element derivatives have broken out of the ground, densely packed and in alarming quantities.
They had dealt with these elemental creatures in the mining area above, but compared with them, they were nothing more than witches. Fang Plover saw dense rocks being pushed up and the ground protruding, as if a large army was coming from
Resurrection underground.
"What are these Oshurs doing down here!?"
He couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
Why were they so unlucky that they happened to run into such a scene? They might have managed to sneak away earlier or later.
But what are the empire people doing? Did they build a fortress here just to confront the earth element openly? What kind of madness is this? Could it be that the empire people don’t know that in such an environment, the earth element is basically
endless.
Do they think they have a long life?
"careful--"
Luo Hao suddenly shouted softly.
After all, Ts-1's magic engine has its limits. It finally died in a ball of bright sparks. And just when the square plover's attention was diverted, a huge rock in the other direction
The creature suddenly opened the rock and grabbed it with a claw in this direction.
Among everyone, only Luo Hao reacted first.
Alyssa was tying up the ropeway, while Luo Wei and the other three had no fighting ability and climbed down the rock with the help of the Papalar people. Luo Yu and Jita were not good at close combat, and Box and Shesta were working together to block it on the other side.
Small elemental creatures that emerge from the ground.
Although there is still Miss May——
But the female knight was born a head shorter than everyone else. Although her rank was higher than Luo Hao, it was Luo Hao who saw the crisis in this direction first. When everyone widened their eyes, thinking that Fang Plover was about to suffer something serious, this
The fat man from the military took a step forward and threw the giant shield in his hand with great force.
The shield hit the giant rock claw, only knocking it sideways, but it was enough. Luo Hao flew forward, hugged the claw with all his strength, and used his own weight as inertia to pull the claw sideways.
Shengsheng diverted its original attack direction and punched the rock.
But the giant shield he was used to was also scrapped, and he himself was hit by the force of the earthquake and fell into a nearby rock gap.
However, the time he bought finally allowed others to react, and everyone saw clearly that it was a giant earth puppet.
They had also encountered these things in the upper area. They were summons of the earth element, but they were not so big. The giant puppet missed a hit and immediately roared and swung another punch, but Miss Knight was already prepared at this moment.
Put up your shield and raise your halberd.
She recited a prayer and stabbed the giant puppet with a spear. The tip of the spear lit up and formed a beam of light, piercing directly through the chest of the huge earth elemental creature. It swayed slightly, leaned to the side, and shook its arms in an attempt to
Find balance.
But the gray shadow flashed, and a figure jumped up from the rock and landed on its left shoulder. The earth puppet lacked intelligence, but still had the ability to observe. It subconsciously turned its head in that direction, but what greeted it was a spitting breath.
huge fist.
Siesta punched the earth puppet on the head, almost shattering half of its body. The elemental summons, which had lost its backbone, staggered to the ground. Before that, the maid lady had swept away the dust on her body and landed lightly.
.
"Holy shit!"
When Xiaoyao saw this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the situation to take such a turn for the worse. He was initially shocked when he saw the big thing, but he didn't expect that it would be dealt with by these people in just three strokes.
It's not like he has no knowledge at all. After all, he comes from a large guild and is a giant earth puppet with level 31. Of course, the monster level is a bit more frivolous, but the fact that there is no such thing in this encounter is still a bit shocking.
It would be fine to say that Fang Yu and his party swarmed up, but with such a light punch, Xiaoyao couldn't help but look up and down Siesta. He had only thought that the other party was the servant of the noble lady, but he didn't
I thought it was so powerful.
Not to mention the combat power above level 30, Xiaoyao immediately made a judgment in his heart.
Shui Wuming also opened her mouth. She expected that there would be some danger in this underground trip, but she didn't expect it to be so dangerous. She subconsciously looked in the direction where Luo Hao fell - thinking, could it be
…?
Fortunately, Fang Plover was also looking in that direction. He raised his hand and launched the flying rope. In a moment, the fat man from the military climbed up from that direction, but there were some bruises on his face.
He wiped the wound and shook his head sadly, "Grandma, my rank is too low, I'm dragging everyone down."
It can be seen that Luo Hao is also a little anxious about his combat effectiveness.
But Fang Yu patted him on the shoulder and thought, don't worry, there are even lower ones. However, he was really not too worried about Luo Hao's level. He was the only one in the Seven Seas Brigade to upgrade so fast, and he didn't even need him at all.
Why worry? The current strength gap is only temporary.
But the other party's reaction was definitely above the standard, as you could see a lot from the scene just now.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Fang Yu said, "Luo Wei and the others have already retreated, so we will retreat too."
Luo Hao nodded.
The two of them glanced at the fragments of the earth elemental summons between the rocks, but more earth elemental creatures were breaking through the surface from all directions. This place was by no means a place to stay for a long time.
Fang Yu probably also noticed his previous negligence. After entering the underground world, he restrained his methods to prevent the imperial alchemist from noticing. Previously, he was too focused on the Ts-1 and almost ignored the situation behind him. Although there was still a Liuliyue.
, but Liuliyue can only be responsible for one direction.
Even a little difficult.
It's understandable for Fang Yu that he would feel troubled in such a situation, let alone others.
He pulled down his goggles, calmed down, and raised his hand. The information crystal pinned to his collar emitted a soft light, and pieces of silver light flickered behind him, like a juxtaposed array, with dots of light spots finally dissolving one by one.
Make real objects.
The silver light solidified one by one from front to back, like a flickering, flowing light, shaped like mercury, turning into a spindle-shaped appearance, spreading its elytra on all four sides, extending its wings, making a low sound, floating in the mid-air
.
They lit up a little red flame in mid-air, watching the plovers condescendingly, just like a swarm of bees watching their queen.
From front to back, a three-dimensional network is formed.
Fang Plover snapped his fingers and pointed in one direction, and the swarm immediately flew away, turning into stars all over the sky and diving into the darkness of the underground world.
Xiaoyao opened his mouth wide, and everyone was dumbfounded watching this scene. He stammered and wanted to say something, but he could only utter some meaningless syllables from his open mouth. "You...you, I...I
……,he……"
He raised his hand and pointed at Fang Plover, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Not only him, Shui Wuming also had a look of shock on his face.
The craftsman from Elite even forgot the dangerous situation she was in for a moment. Her dark eyes reflected the starry sky, but they were not the real starry sky, but scattered meteors with a beam of silver light.
Fly far away.
She didn't say a word for a long time.
Although everyone has long known that Fang Plover has outstanding talents in combat craftsmanship and has seen some relevant video clips, watching from a distance is far less shocking than experiencing it in person at this moment.
It is said that the Clockwork Fairy is the romance of the fighting craftsman.
Because even the dragon knight commanding the giant battle structure that people longed for cannot be as high-spirited as the battle craftsman who is commanding as many clockwork fairies as stars at this moment. It is like a commander, calmly commanding his light
The cavalry were crisscrossing the battlefield—
That feeling is indescribable.
They are craftsmen and alchemists, but they are not combat craftsmen, so there is nothing wrong with them. They only feel deeply shocked and have a simple yearning for the magnificent scene.
Even Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh in her heart every time she saw such a scene.
On the history of Etalia.
Did such a craftsman really ever exist?
No wonder the teacher told her that she could witness the birth of a piece of history.
The shock in Shui Wuming's heart could not be less than this. At this moment, she finally understood why her mentor, the iceberg goddess in people's minds, had to stay with this team in shame.
It turns out that this was what the teacher had in mind.
Shui Wuming sighed. What she didn't understand at first has become a matter of course now. She originally felt a little baffled by this, but she still has a good impression of Fang Lung. If not, she would not agree to come to this place.
.
I really think that the elites of the big guilds definitely don’t regard money as money. Those are the resources that they have fought for in the first place.
But at this moment, she felt inexplicably a little unsure.
An outstanding talent may aspire to the Grand Guild, but a person like Fang Plover is obviously a being like Loofah, or even worse. He really knows how to deal with Elite, Godslayer, Ragnarok, etc.
Are you interested in the olive branch extended by the Ecumenical Council?
For the first time, she had some doubts about her teacher's judgment.
But Fang Plover did not expect that they would think so much. The Seven Seas Brigade has long been used to this scene, and even this is not all Fang Plover's abilities. If their leader, Miss Tata and the Seven Seas Traveler go all out,
open.
What an amazing sight that is?
Even Luo Hao and others dare not imagine it.
Fang Yu glanced at a few people and roughly guessed what they were thinking. He coughed lightly and said: "You should know that I still have the title of Dragon Alchemist, and I am not worthy of this title. It's just that
Now is not the time to talk about this. The clockwork goblin can provide detection capabilities, but its combat effectiveness is actually not strong——"
To others, the fighting ability of the Clockwork Goblin itself is a myth.
But everyone had seen Fang Plover's 'Disaster Star' showing off its power during the Northern War, so there was no need to ask too much. Before Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming could react, Luo Wei nodded on their behalf. "No need.
You are too considerate of us," she said, "We will find a way to keep up."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister Luo Wei." Fang Yu also nodded.
Countless fields of view were within his gaze, changing within the lens, but he could only glance at each picture and get a rough look, but many pictures formed a common picture.
In just a moment, these silver stars scattered in the sky and pairs of eyes gave Fang Plover a clear view of the entire battlefield. As he expected, the earth elements came from all directions in the entire underground lake.
There is a gap or gap anywhere.
I don’t know what the Empire people did. They seemed to have angered all the earth elements in the entire elemental layer. The astonishing number of earth elemental creatures made the entire underground world boil like boiling water. There was no one in the outer area.
in a safe place.
We can only move closer to the direction of the Oshurs.
But the earth element is undoubtedly attacking in that direction.
He couldn't help but look at his ship officer.
"Get close to the Imperials first," Sylvester lowered her voice and said carefully, "Although we are all surrounded, our target is small, while the Imperials' target is big."
"Do you want the Imperials to attract their attention?" Fang Plover asked.
Sylvide nodded.
"The prerequisite is that the Imperial people won't find out." She added softly.
Fang Plover couldn't help but look in that direction. The first thing that appeared on the ground were pieces of the kind of earth puppets they had encountered before. They looked somewhat similar to human figures, with upright legs, about four or five meters tall, with torsos and even
Head, swinging a pair of huge arms towards the imperial formation.
There were hundreds of giant earth elemental puppets on the front line at a glance, and there were also many other small elemental creatures mixed in. They moved forward slowly, like an earthy yellow wave.
This is really a big battle. If this number of elemental creatures are placed in any area, the selectors will never be able to solve it, unless a dragon knight takes action. Only the army can handle such a scene, because in comparison, the earth elemental creatures have actually formed
A large army.
"Look," Miss Nightingale said, pointing in that direction, "The Chosen One."
They climbed up the ropeway to the rock promontory on the other side and moved forward along the cracks between the rocks in that direction. Earth elements invaded from time to time, but they were all protected by boxes on the left and right. May and Shesta easily handled them.
.
When passing through two huge rocks, Alyssa suddenly pointed to the center of the lake and said.
There, the Oshurs had their first battle with an army of earth elemental beings.
Two waves, one yellow and one black, collided together, making a noisy cry of killing, but both sides were obviously very familiar with each other. Neither side gained much from the first collision. The fronts were at a stalemate, and neither side gave in.
step.
But the Imperials clearly had the upper hand. The combat effectiveness of those Imperial soldiers in black helmets surprised Fang Pliance. They used their giant shields to block the bombardment from the elemental puppets, and then used their spears to face these elemental creatures from behind.
Launch an attack.
The sophisticated equipment protected the Imperial side very well. In the first round of contact, many of the elemental puppets were defeated, while the Imperial side suffered almost no losses. The earth elemental side almost relied on their numerical advantage to maintain their front.
.
But to take a step back, elemental puppets are just summons for the earth elements. They can be said to be endless. If they are regarded as a tool, then the earth elements will also have almost no losses in this period.
Then Fang Plover heard two low roars.
In an instant, the earth roared, and everyone subconsciously supported the rocks next to them. They saw the stones around their feet beating and gathering in one direction. This kind of movement is all too familiar to Fang Plover. How powerful is it?
Elemental creatures are emerging from the ground.
He looked in that direction and saw that after a low roar, the rocks and sand in the battlefield gathered together and formed, swirling to form a huge elemental creature as big as a hill. The earth elemental creature was different from all earth elements and had no
Like the elemental puppets they had seen before.
It has an obvious crystal core, surrounded by a swirling rock storm, but above it is a head with pupils like eyes, and two giant rock elemental arms suspended around it.
The giant statue lowered its head, and the khaki light flashing in its pupils swept across the battlefield, making everyone feel terrified.
Even Fang Plover and others behind the giant elemental creature felt chills standing on end behind them, not to mention the imperial army in front of it. When this huge elemental creature appeared, the momentum on the battlefield was obviously solid, and they were fighting continuously.
His voice dropped a bit.
"Elemental Lord..." Xiaoyao almost groaned, "Oh my god..."
"There's more than one." Luo Yu stared in another direction.
It was almost the same scene, another elemental lord descended on the other side of the lake bottom.
"Two elemental lords," Xiaoyao stammered, "did we come at the wrong time... What is the place down here...?"
Fang Yu didn't say anything.
He has seen more exciting scenes.
But what he was curious about was how the Imperial people planned to respond. As soon as the two elemental lords arrived, they immediately pressed in that direction without leaving any time for the Imperial people.
However, the black imperial troops did not seem to be nervous, and they immediately dispersed, revealing rows of large devices behind them. Many people were controlling the devices, in groups of six. When the elemental lords approached, they immediately activated the devices.
Only then did Fang Plover realize that those were actually some special bed crossbows, which fired not crossbow arrows, but special hooks. Those hooks had obviously been reinforced by alchemy, otherwise they would never be effective against elemental creatures.
.
Once the hook was launched, it immediately flew towards the elemental lord in mid-air with a long chain. Most of the shots missed, but a small half still hit the target.
This behavior obviously angered the elemental lord. It stretched out its arms and immediately straightened the chains. The force like a mountain ripped many bed crossbows away from the ground, causing metal fragments, flying people and bullets inserted into the ground.
Spikes flew everywhere.
Some more metal chains were torn off in mid-air and swept in all directions. Some even whirred towards the square plovers, frightening everyone to immediately duck and hide under the rocks.
"Damn it!" the Papalar couldn't help but cursed.
But Fang Plover immediately looked in that direction again.
Sure enough, the Oshu people were not doing useless work. He saw several balls of fire flying out of the fortress, and the long blue flames trailing behind them were actually wind element particles, which were exactly what he had seen in Ayinbrok.
Those large structures used by the Imperials.
But the version here is obviously more powerful than those of Ayinbrok. It is not only larger in size, but also compact in structure, and its mobility and explosive power are obviously further improved.
Three large structures held the elemental lord one on the left and two on the right, grabbing the flying chains in mid-air and dragging the former to a low altitude. At the same time, an even larger dragon-shaped mecha flashed out of the darkness.
, it appeared so suddenly that Fang Plover didn't notice it at the first time.
But as soon as this black dragon structure appeared, it immediately raised its claws to hold down the elemental lord's arms, and actually caught the huge creature from the front.
"Pseudo Dragon Knight!"
This time, Shui Wuming and others recognized him without Fang Pliant's reminder.
However, Fang Piao is not that surprised. To confront a creature at the level of an elemental lord head-on, sending out pseudo-dragon knights may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not too far off the mark. It is impossible for ordinary imperial soldiers to rely on their own strength to fight against these legendary powers.
of.
Human beings invented magic and the Dragon Knight structure just to make their own power comparable to the dragon.
But the earth elemental lord was grabbed by the dragon knight's arms. He was obviously not convinced. He immediately formed a pair of giant rock claws from behind, and also condescendingly smashed down on the metal dragon.
Who knew that the giant dragon also stretched out a pair of claws from behind, and also blocked the attack.
Four-armed dragon.
Fang Yu couldn't help but blinked. Such a coincidence?
As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, he heard a heavy cold snort coming from the depths of his heart.
