Chapter 1,507 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
The mighty war eagle descended from the sky, like a black shadow iron tower landing in front of Zong Shen.
There is a space storage ring hooked on its sharp claws.
There are several abbreviations engraved on it, which should come from one of the heirs of Marquis Ekmeleddin.
Zong Shen took out an oval-shaped token from this ring.
The rune tracks on it are detailed and complex, and the materials used are also very particular.
It can be seen that it has been carefully designed.
After receiving the news, Marquis Ekméledin also returned to the scene from the defense line of the tower.
Zong Shen handed the token into his hand and ordered at the same time.
"Strengthen the effect of the remaining magic circle as much as possible."
"I hope it buys us more time."
The Marquis holding the token nodded blankly.
He raised his hand to summon a griffin knight and flew him not far away to the core area where the space was extremely chaotic.
Various magical elements are running rampant there, and colorful winds can be seen everywhere.
The manic airflow also stirred up large amounts of dust, seriously affecting vision and making various detection methods difficult to use.
The Marquis did not rush in. He called the griffin knight to stop at the edge of the core area.
Wearing a fairly thick protective mask, I began to use my newly arrived spare token to feel the remaining magic circle.
When he communicated with his mind, the token in his hand lit up.
At the same time, the shadow of the magic circle vaguely appeared on the cracked earth ahead.
Just compared to the solid appearance before, the virtual shadow at this time looks extremely blurry.
After carefully sensing it, a few beads of sweat dripped from Marquis Ekmeledin's forehead.
The situation at the scene was worse than he thought.
After all, he doesn't have a strategy module like Zong and can get real-time feedback.
He could only make guesses about the situation of the magic circle.
The token in my hand started to get hot after the connection was completed.
The Marquis felt as if he were holding a soldering iron.
But Marquis Ekmeledin himself is also one of the mediators that communicates with the magic circle.
Because this magic circle was designed and initially constructed by the ancestors of the Clift family.
The magic circle incorporates the power of one's own blood.
Therefore, not only the token is the key, but Marquis Ekmeledin himself is also the key.
The tokens became hotter and hotter, as if they were overloaded.
Gritting his teeth, the Marquis forcibly mobilized the power of the remaining magic circle.
"Buzz!"
The sudden buzzing sound made the shaking of the earth calm down slightly.
The chaotic magic elements and the regional storm formed gradually calmed down.
Another light shield rose from below the crooked castle and penetrated into the center of the whirlpool of black clouds in the sky.
As the straight beam of light rose again, stability returned to the core area.
Various magical elements gradually subsided, and the ground stopped shaking.
Only the huge cracks in the ground have not been completely restored, like scars after injury.
The backup magic energy reserve pool of the magic array was activated, and the magic array in a broken state was forcibly communicated, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
However, the collapse of the magic circle is irreversible.
Even restoring the supply of mana cannot solve the root cause of this problem.
This magic circle was designed with some self-recovery means.
Used to solve natural losses and overload situations after encountering high-intensity blows.
However, the magic circle was too seriously damaged by [Negative Demonic Liquid].
In addition, the powerful monsters in the Demon Abyss Prison also took advantage of the opening of the gap to struggle.
This is mainly because at the same time that the magic circle was destroyed, Marquis Ecmeledine happened to use family methods to open a gap, giving the monsters a chance to cause trouble.
All these make the damage situation of the magic circle even more unsatisfactory.
Although the core area where the entrance to the Demonic Abyss Prison is currently located has been temporarily stabilized, the crisis has not been resolved.
The protective circle can only buy you no more than one extra day at most.
When the next sunset comes, the crisis will reappear.
"call!"
He exhaled a somewhat heavy breath.
Marquis Ekmeledin opened his hands, and the skin and flesh on them had already been burned, and a faint green smoke was floating away.
Those were the marks left by the burns caused by the spare token.
It is undoubtedly a very stressful task to mobilize a damaged magic circle.
The blockage of the rune circuit makes the operation of the magic circle more difficult.
Fortunately, he finally completed the task.
Back in the ruins of the arena, Zong Shen was stroking the war eagle's raised head.
"Sir, the power of the remaining magic circle is working."
"We expect to be able to hold on until at least sunset tomorrow."
He reported it truthfully.
But Zong Shen just nodded.
Golden subtitles indicate the remaining time.
From the original about seven hours, it became 31 hours and 19 minutes.
The buffer time is enough for Zong Shen to transfer the population of the giant city of Dagalisini to the small dimensional world.
But this time he really didn't want to leave the city again.
Population and various resources are only part of the wealth of a giant city.
In fact, the giant city itself is the most important.
The buildings and defense nodes here are all ready-made. After Zong Shen takes over, he only needs to use the lord's privileges to strengthen and transform them.
By giving it the advantages that the territory deserves, the defense capabilities of the giant city of Dagalisini can be greatly improved.
There was no other way when we were in the giant city of Lentax.
At that time, Zong Shen and the strength of the territory were not enough for him to take over the giant city.
The city can only be abandoned there, eventually turning into ruins and battlefields.
After more than a month of fighting, the lord and Archduke Jonathan's troops had already reduced those buildings to scorched earth. Only various slanted ruins and some towering towers that had not completely collapsed proved that there was once a city there.
The first lords who settled there were eager to dig deep into the ground to find treasures.
In the beginning, they really found a lot of good stuff.
After all, it is difficult to completely harvest all the city-wide resources in a short period of time.
Zong Shen did take away the big ones, but there were also many small ones left behind.
These little heads became the trophies that the lords could find.
Regardless, the giant city of Lentax is a thing of the past.
The buildings there were completely destroyed and there was not much value left in occupying them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a giant city-level territory, Zong Shen still wants to try his best to protect it.
"First evacuate the population according to circles."
"You and Colby are jointly responsible for this."
Zong Shen summoned Colby and handed [Dimensional Seed (Special)] into his hands.
And some usage rights were opened to him.
[Dimensional Seed (Special)] is the prototype of a world.
Zong Shen is the master of this world, and the two are bound to each other.
After receiving the order, Colby, who was riding a transformed giant wolf, drove away with Marquis Ekmeledin.
Zong Shen looked very calm as he watched the two people leaving.
He stood up and turned towards the direction of the inner circle, which became much more stable.
Continuous pillars of magic light shot up into the sky, and the momentum was as spectacular as ever.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud, hollow sound.
It's like something collapsed.
After the loud noise, the clarity of the light beam plummeted.
The remaining seal restrictions have become unstable again.
Zong Shen squinted his eyes and sighed slightly.
He knew that things were not that simple.
The ban has been loosened, and the monsters in the Demon Abyss Prison will not wait any longer.
Together they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Just the attacks from three demigod-level monsters were enough to drink up the remaining restrictions.
The sound just now was caused by those monsters launching a fierce attack from within.
Originally, the monsters in the Demon Abyss Prison were unable to break the ban.
But today is different from the past. This barely maintained magic circle is already riddled with holes.
The monsters trapped in the Demonic Abyss Prison are all extremely cruel.
Seeing the cracks appear and the forces limiting them being reduced, one immediately becomes eager to try.
This excitement is transformed into an urgent desire to attack through mania.
Although most of them have lost their rationality, their instinct to pursue freedom still exists.
The dull echoes came one after another, as if the low bell was announcing the arrival of death.
Affected by this, the magic circle's maintenance countdown is changing.
It starts to accelerate backwards from 31 hours.
According to this speed, it will be reset to zero in half an hour at most.
This means that the attacks from the monsters in the Demon Abyss Prison are accelerating the collapse of the magic circle.
Fortunately, the evacuation order for the second circle is ongoing.
It should be possible to complete the evacuation of the second circle before the situation becomes serious.
In this case, the population of the first and second circles can basically be preserved.
It's just that the third circle, which covers the largest area and accounts for the highest proportion, has no time to take care of it.
Even if the city gates were opened and they tried their best to escape, not many people could escape in just over half an hour.
At this moment, Marquis Ekmeledin and Colby, who were performing evacuation and stability maintenance tasks in the second circle, also noticed the changes.
The core circle magic circle that had become somewhat stable was shaking violently.
The fluctuating light and shadow make people feel dizzy.
The signs of collapse seem to be more severe than before.
Immediately the Marquis's face turned pale.
"It's the monsters in the Demon Abyss that are running rampant!"
He murmured to himself.
Such an unexpected situation made his temper somewhat uncontrollable.
Colby seemed particularly calm.
Perhaps he is fearless if he does not know, or perhaps he has strong confidence in Zong Shen.
He gently patted Marquis Ekmeledin on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, just complete your instructions."
This scene is like an officer comforting a soldier who has just entered the battlefield.
Colby didn't care at all about Ekmeledin's title.
In terms of the position system within the territory, Colby is now similar to a marshal.
The one who rules is Zong Shen’s heart and soul.
Theoretically, as the ruler of the giant city of Dagalisni, Marquis Ekmeledin was even inferior to Corby in terms of the rank of position within his territory.
What's more, Colby is still a veteran under Zong Shen.
It was completely cultivated by hand.
Zong Shen could give Colby 100% trust, but he could only give 50% to Marquis Ekmeledin.
In addition to having a certain relationship with loyalty, it is more because Colby has proven himself.
After swallowing a gulp of saliva, Marquis Ekmeledin nodded with difficulty.
Zong Shen had no good solution for the collapse of such a large magic circle.
After all, this is the prison left by King Arthur and many powerful founders of Avalon.
Unless you are a demigod-level magic circle master, there is no way to solve the problem.
Of course, the simplest and crudest method is to let the magic circle collapse.
Then completely defeat or subdue the monsters inside.
Although this option is straightforward, it also comes with the highest price.
In addition, Zong Shen was also curious about why King Arthur left the Demon Abyss behind.
He was not idle just now, and found several props in the storage compartment in advance that should come in handy.
But these are precautionary measures.
The winning hand that he really has high hopes for is not those cold props.
Zong Shen did not act rashly, he just recalled Gugat.
On the surface, he and Gugat were the strongest among everyone present.
With Gurgat's demigod body, there won't be much risk in staying here.
When used with live ammunition, Gugat is still very powerful.
Not to mention it also has a powerful [furnace bomb], which can kill even a demigod.
What can I say about self-destruction? It is a really scary trump card when forced to do so.
No one will easily provoke an opponent with the ability to self-destruct.
Even if you can defeat such an opponent, you still have to worry about whether you will be killed by self-destruction.
He and Gugat quietly waited for the moment when the magic circle collapsed.
Even though I tried hard, the outcome didn't seem to change.
But the backup token still plays its due role.
If it hadn't been for the mobilization of the remaining magic circles, there might not even have been a half-hour buffer.
The Demon Abyss Prison is another small world, and Zong Shen doesn't know the situation inside it.
However, from the moment he sent the war eagle Li Ang to get the spare token, it took half an hour for those monsters to start attacking, and this was what happened later.
If we had attacked fiercely from the beginning, I'm afraid the magic circle would have completely collapsed.
Therefore, the monsters imprisoned in the Demon Abyss Prison are undoubtedly in a relatively chaotic state.
This is a good show for Zong Shen, showing that monsters are not monolithic.
Anyway, it will make packing up much easier this way.
Time passes minute by minute, and the countdown speed is also faster and slower.
Soon there were only a few seconds left.
At this time, the light beam in the distance went out again.
The sky and the ground simultaneously let out an overwhelming wail.
It seemed as if both heaven and earth were crying.
The sky was as dark as midnight.
Originally only the sky above the city center was affected.
But now it has spread further afield.
There were lightning and thunder in the clouds as far as the eye could see.
Darkness surged.
It affected at least an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius.
This scene seems like the end of the world will come at any time.
The wind swirled across the ground.
A large, dark green crack was torn open in the core area space not far away.
"Come out... come out!"
The stumbling sounds of Old Highland language echoed.
A huge figure emerged from the crack first.
It was a giant humanoid monster with a height of 100 meters, holding a huge mace tree stick, and having bluish-brown skin.
Like a Highlander, like an Orc.
The facial features are more refined than those of the giants.
Strictly speaking, it is like an enlarged version of the highland barbarian warrior.
