The insect tide invaded, and an offensive and defensive battle began in the western suburbs of Shenjiao City.
The powerful arcane mages headed by Christian Fury took battleships and airships to continuously bomb the insect tide in the sky and eradicate high-level spiritual insects.
Weak arcane mages like Duke, together with knights and mercenaries, rely on the defense line on the ground to hunt down transiting insects.
Boom!
The mage's hand grabbed a level 1 spirit beast - the one-eyed spider. He did not crush it hard, but applied slight pressure to squeeze the one-eyed spider bit by bit.
When the mage's hand dispersed, the one-eyed spider's body was generally intact, but the skin had been torn apart and the juice flowed all over the floor.
"Huhu." A smile appeared on Duke's lips.
Standing on the city wall, I pinched bugs with my mage's hands. I pinched countless bugs, and finally I had the slightest grasp of the weight.
When the mage's hand is cultivated to a high level, it is basically equivalent to the arcane mage's third hand.
Duke is not yet in the realm yet, so he can only use the hands of the mage to roughly grasp, crush and explode the enemy.
But as he continued to use the Mage's Hand, his understanding of the Mage's Hand became more and more profound, and his memory of the spell models became clearer and clearer. What followed was the control of the Mage's Hand.
Every little bit is increasing.
He turned his head and glanced at the city head not far away, where there was also a mage's hand slowly dispersing.
"It was the mage's hand that Lidman guided and used. All five fingers can move flexibly. It can be said to be extremely proficient."
He admired in his heart.
The usually serious and taciturn Tutor Lidman has profound attainments in both arcane arts and research, and may have the potential to advance to the third level.
"I still need to work harder!" Duke turned around and focused on using the magic hand.
The insect tide is coming fiercely, but unfortunately most of them are low-level spiritual insects, mostly at level 0, and there are also many at level 1, but spiritual insects at level 2 and above are very rare.
Therefore, in Duke's eyes, these spiritual insects are not enough for him to use the Sand Eagle pistol. They are the best training tools for the mage's hands.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The casting speed is getting faster and faster, the casting accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the sensitivity of the mage's hands is getting higher and higher.
What followed was a rapid decline in the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea. The uninterrupted exclusive meditation method and the speed of absorbing free spiritual particles were far from making up for the crazy spell casting consumption at this moment.
"Sir, please take a rest." The assistant Mulali, who was following behind, saw that Duke had sweat on his forehead and said quickly.
A discerning knight from the escort team next to him also hurriedly came over: "Sir, I will take your place for a while, and you go and have a rest."
Duke did not try to be brave, and after hearing this, he withdrew from the city: "Okay, thank you very much. I will come and take over for you when I have a good rest."
After retreating, Mulali had already instructed her two attendants to bring chairs and bring water and snacks so that Duke could have a good rest.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, feeling that his spiritual energy had recovered, Duke stood up again to replace the great knight.
The mage's hand blasted out, squeezing the insects that rushed near the castle to death.
"It seems that the insect tide is no longer so ferocious." He keenly discovered that the number of spiritual insects attacking the city's defense lines began to decrease.
However, there are more spiritual insects of level 2 and above.
A large centipede suddenly burst out of the ground from the base of the city wall and began to climb along the wall, trying to break into the castle.
No one noticed this.
Only Duke, whose Dou Qi holographic screen was always turned on, accurately captured the position of this large centipede with the help of the large plants inside and outside the castle and the skill of idle breathing.
On the small map in the field of vision, small red dots representing large centipedes flash rapidly.
Duke leaned out slightly from the city wall and saw the large centipede sneaking up on him. The mage concentrated his hands and grabbed the large centipede.
"Iron-Breaking Centipede, a 2-ring spirit beast with amazing destructive power, especially good at destroying metals. Common solidification arcane spells include 1-ring Rock Burst, 1-ring Fire Knife, 2-ring Rock-Iron Crushing, 2-ring Fire Dragon Drill, and 2-ring Chaotic Space...
…” The information flashed across the Dou Qi holographic screen.
The next moment, the Iron-Breaking Centipede's head arched up, and the mage's hand seemed to be cut, cut into pieces, and quietly shattered.
"Second level arcana - chaotic space!" Duke was slightly surprised.
Arcana has a strong elemental color, and the elemental attributes are roughly divided into seven types: earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.
Chaotic space is the very rare arcana of light element.
Therefore, the spirituality of this iron-breaking centipede has a strong tendency towards light elements, and it is definitely a top-notch spiritual material.
"Mage's Hand!" Duke cast the spell again.
Not surprisingly, he was once again defeated by the chaotic space of the Broken Iron Centipede, and saw that the Broken Iron Centipede was about to rush to the city.
A sand hawk quietly appeared in Duke's hand.
When the Iron Centipede jumped up from the city wall and prepared to rush into the city, Duke held the sand eagle and calmly aimed at the Iron Centipede's head.
Puff puff puff puff...
A series of bullets were poured out, leaving no time for the Broken Iron Centipede to react, and blood blossoms bloomed on its head.
Snap!
The Broken Iron Centipede did indeed land on the top of the city, right at Duke's feet, but it could only twitch and twist, struggling wildly.
After losing its head, although it will be difficult to die completely for a while, it is no longer a threat.
Several knights rushed over and cut the struggling Iron Centipede into several pieces, completely calming it down.
After taking a look at the corpse of the Broken Iron Centipede that was taken away by the knights, Duke's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of pride in his heart.
No spiritual beast below level 3 can withstand the baptism of the Sand Eagle.
Therefore, seeing the increase in high-level spiritual insects, Duke continued to use the hand of the mage to increase his proficiency, while holding the sand eagle and continuously killing the spiritual insects that were not killed by arcane magic.
He has used the One Ring Sand Eagle several times in public places, and he is afraid that it has long fallen into the eyes of interested people.
So there is no need to be so particular about hiding it and keeping it secret.
With the help of Sand Eagle, he alone was able to repel the insect tide in the entire area. Unknowingly, fewer and fewer spiritual insects were attacking the defense line.
"Your Excellency Duke, Lord Penrose sent a message, asking all Arcane mages to board the airship and advance across the defense line to the suburbs!" Penrose's secretary Levski hurried over to convey Penrose's instructions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Duke nodded.
Then he asked: "Where is the mentor?"
"My Lord is on the battleship Bibo, tracking the leader of this insect wave, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon."
"Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, what is that?" Duke was stunned. It sounded like some kind of dragon, a legendary dragon creature.
"I don't know, but it seems to be a huge scorpion that has reached the 9th level. It was temporarily named Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon by the Union Tower. It is said to be blood related to the 7th level Black Jade Scorpion King in Cuihai Valley." Leif
Sky tells the information he knows.
Duke quickly understood.
This so-called Black Jade Limulus Dragon is probably the suspected 9-ring giant insect in Cuihai Valley, which was chased from Cuihai Valley to Shenjiao City.
"9 rings!"
Duke clucked his tongue and exclaimed as he rushed towards the airship.
The 9-ring spirit beast can be called a sub-dragon.
The Cuihai Valley development war should have gone smoothly, but a dragon suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the development war.
"But..." Duke thought in his mind, "If I kill Yalong, I'm afraid I can create a more powerful family!"
The chief executive of the Union Tower, Keithon Raging Waves, is from the Earl of Raging Waves family. The blood inherited by the family is the blood of the Raging Waves dragon that was eliminated when Shenjiao City was established in the past. It is the true 9-ring sub-dragon bloodline. p>
For small nobles like the Black Snake family, the family bloodline is the bloodline of the fifth-ringed spiritual beast - the multi-headed black-necked snake.
The gap is too big.
"Duke, your arcane weapon is really strong. Let me observe it sometime. I also want to forge an arcane weapon!" Shanfeis stood in front of the airship stairs, waiting for Duke.
Duke smiled: "Arcane weapons will not be loaned out!"
The arcane weapons of arcane mages are all their own trump cards, how can they be shown to others.
Shanfeis just made a joke based on his familiarity with Duke, so he quickly forgot about the arcane weapon and talked about the insect wave.
As he talked, he went up the stairs and entered the lower cabin.
Assistant Vikas and others have already come in first.
While waiting for the airship to take off, everyone kept chatting around the insect tide, and soon they talked about the 9-ring spirit beast - the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
No one knows anything about this dragon.
So I can only spread my thoughts and talk about relevant content.
Blanc lamented: "The Arcane Mage Bernoulli was originally supposed to refine the bloodline of the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King as the bloodline inherited by the family. This time it was a blessing in disguise. I am afraid he had to replace it with the bloodline of the 9-ring Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
Already..."
"Isn't this the same bloodline as the Nutao family?" Shanfeisi replied sourly.
Galba shook his head: "I don't think so. Bernoulli is only a fourth-level earth mage. It's not that simple to refine the blood of the sub-dragon!"
Oriana and Galba were a bit ambiguous, so they immediately agreed after hearing this: "Yes, if you want to be on an equal footing with the Nutao family, Bernoulli is not qualified enough."
"You are thinking too far." Assistant Vikas sighed, "I may not be able to defeat the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon with just my strength in Shenjiao City."
"I agree with Vikas as a guide. There is one 5-level player and four 4-level players. This lineup is a bit weaker than the 9-level Yalong." Duke also expressed his opinion, ""The Spirituality of Black Dragon River Land"
"It is recorded in the book that the Battle of Shenjiao City..."
At that time, the large spiritual spring in Shenjiao City was occupied by the 9-ring spirit beast - the Raging Wave Dragon. In the end, it relied on the siege of many earth and ocean arcane mages, plus the desperate sneak attack of the sky Arcane Mage Kirill, to defeat the Raging Wave Dragon.
Behead.
Sky Arcane Mage is level 6.
Kirill, the arcane mage of the sky who killed the Raging Dragon, was the first Earl of Raging Waves, the ancestor of the current chief executive of the Union Tower, Christian Raging Waves.
"If we can't defeat it, Shenjiao City may be in danger." Vikas sighed again.
Assistant Leadman, who rarely spoke, suddenly said: "There is no need to kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, just drive it back."
"It's also difficult."
"If you adults dare to fight, how dare a mere insect dare to fight to the death!" Assistant Leadman snorted coldly.
No one could answer this, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, the airship had already taken off and arrived above the insect swarm. Assistant Vikas immediately ordered: "Everyone enter the combat position and deal with the insect swarm first."
The airship has a battle cabin dedicated to arcane mages.
Duke entered the combat cabin with his own number. The cabin protruded from the cabin, and the protruding part was completely transparent, making it easy to observe the front, left, right and bottom.
Vikas and others have launched arcane attacks vigorously.
Duke also used his mage's hand to attack spirit insects on the ground or in the air. At the same time, he used the Dou Qi holographic screen to lock the position of spirit insects of level 2 and above.
Sand Eagle in hand.
Accurate burst shooting, within 500 meters, basically means where to hit. Beyond 500 meters, you need to have a little prediction, but beyond 1 kilometer, you need to rely on luck.
"Enjoyable!"
Duke has a rare opportunity to show off his marksmanship without reservation, as if he were playing a shooting game on earth.
"It's a pity that the special effects of bullets have not yet been successfully developed, so we can only rely on ordinary bullets to kill insects."
If the bullet special effects are turned on and blank bullets, shotgun shells, and armor-piercing bullets can be replaced at will, the insecticidal efficiency will be greatly improved.
However, to deal with spiritual insects below level 3, ordinary bullets are enough.
In addition, he also enjoyed "swiping" the Mage's Hand. If it weren't for the purpose of conserving physical strength and preventing the exhaustion of spiritual energy, he could still happily use it again.
"Be careful, there are 4-ring spiritual insects ahead - vicious hornets, swarm spiritual insects, which can stack armor and large wind wheels. It is best to attack with fire-based arcane spells."
Each vicious hornet is like a calf, flying in swarms in the sky.
Duke raises his hand and shoots.
One of the Vicious Bumblebees was accurately hit. You can see through the scope that when the bullet was blocked by the Vicious Bumblebee, it ducked slightly sideways, causing the bullet originally aimed at the head to hit the top of the wing.
After its wings were shot through, the Vicious Bumblebee only swayed slightly before regaining its balance.
Then, as if being angered, arcane light condensed from between the wings, and then two huge round wind wheels shot out.
Stimulated by this vicious bumblebee, several vicious bumblebees around them also began to condense arcane magic. The arcane light resonated with each other, and then the surrounding air was affected by the arcane resonance, causing a vibration like water waves.<
/p>
Boom!
Around these vicious bumblebees, densely packed huge wind wheels appeared, and then they rushed towards Duke's airship with thunderous momentum.
"Support the shield!" Assistant Vikas, who serves as the commander-in-chief of the airship, shouted loudly.
The sound flows along the sound transmission pipe and into each combat cabin.
Duke responded quickly.
Actively guide the wonder of the arcane shield in the spiritual sea, condensing an arcane shield in front of the airship to act as protection.
But the real defense is the two-level arcane spells released by Vikas and Lidman respectively - Iceberg Shield and Steel Wall.
Boom!
Countless large wind wheels collided with the iceberg shield and the steel wall, annihilating each other. The remaining large wind wheels smashed the defensive arcane spells released by Duke and other level 1 arcane mages, but also wiped out most of the power, leaving only broken pieces.
Wind blade, hit the airship.
A large amount of spiritual gold is incorporated into the outer shell of the airship, and the wind blade can only break the outer shell.
A round of attack and defense ends in the blink of an eye.
Although Duke failed to take the lead and kill a 4-level vicious hornet with one shot, he was able to take advantage of their temporary delay when the vicious hornet released its arcane magic and shot a vicious hornet with a dozen shots.
head.
"The shell of the vicious hornet is a bit hard... If it were replaced by armor-piercing bullets, I might be able to shoot them one by one and kill them casually."
Fighting on an airship is quite easy.
Duke can take a break at will to think about the shortcomings of Yihuan Shaying, so that he can ask Xiaoyi to improve it in the future.
As the battle continues, most of the vicious hornets on the perimeter have been cleared away.
Hiding behind the vicious hornet that remotely controlled the swarm, it was finally exposed to the range of the arcane attack, and Duke also aimed at the queen's head with great interest.
Poof!
A precise headshot with one shot.
The result seen through the scope was a bit embarrassing. The bullet failed to break the eye of the queen he was aiming at, and did not even leave a wound.
"Not breaking the defense?" Duke was speechless.
At this moment, a thick beam of light, like a laser, shot out from the combat cabin under the airship and headed straight for the queen.
When the queen bee was hit by the light beam, it was like being burned by fire. Half of her body was scorched and one-third of her wings were burned off.
"This doesn't look like arcane magic..." Duke was surprised.
Xiaoyi cannot give accurate information. In its database, there is no corresponding arcane spell that can be released like a laser sword.
On the contrary, it was Shanfisi's exclamation that provided him with the answer: "Guide Vikas, you are my god, so handsome! After I go back, I will immediately find an alchemist to help me cast the arcane weapon. You all
There are arcane weapons, but I don’t have them!”
"It turns out to be an arcane weapon from Vikas. It feels much more powerful than my first-level Sand Eagle. It should be a second-level arcane weapon."
"Focus!" came the scolding voice of Lidman.
Shanfeisi chuckled: "Copy that."
The battle continued, with the appearance of the arcane weapon guided by Vikas. After the fourth-ring spiritual insect-Vicious Bumblebee, he was baptized by the "light saber" three times in a row and finally fell from the sky.
During the fall, he was hit again by the lightsaber.
Along with the lightsaber, there are free arcane spells by the arcane mages. Even Duke took the opportunity to use his mage's hand and pinch the queen bee.
I thought a little bit in my heart: "If I don't break my defense, I'll pinch the shit out of you!"
With the fall of this group of vicious hornets, the noisy insect tide slowly came to an end. After countless casualties, the remaining insects finally chose to escape.
The Loop airship did not return to the castle immediately. A signal was passed from a nearby airship, calling on all airships to assemble to the north of the western suburbs.
"That's where Yalong is!" Assistant Vikas made a judgment, "Everyone, should we return or join the war?"
"Fight!" Shanfeis howled, "Yalong, I want to be a dragon-slaying warrior!"
"We must do our part." Director Lidman said coldly.
Oriana said slowly: "Go to the battlefield and take a look first. If the Yalong is too strong, we must first ensure our own safety."
"Yes." Galba immediately agreed, "Our mentor didn't let us hunt dragons. If we go to fight, we must be careful."
Blanc made no comment.
Duke said: "If I don't take a look at the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, I may regret it for the rest of my life. How many 9-ring spirit beasts will I see in this life?"
Assistant Vikas synthesized everyone's opinions and issued an order: "Then go to the north of the western suburbs to gather!"
Along the way, most of the airships were flying north to the western suburbs, but a few airships turned back and flew back to Shenjiao City.
Not all arcane mages have the courage to participate in the dragon hunting battle.
Without flying for too long, everyone saw through the telescope the fighting situation in the northern part of the western suburbs. A huge scorpion-like spiritual insect was walking casually in the sky, running at extremely fast speeds, rushing towards one airship after another.
.
Behind them were several 5-ring black jade scorpions, but the 7-ring black jade scorpion king was missing.
The airship brigade is headed by the battleship Bibo, with the shadow of the arcane mage standing on the bow of the ship, constantly resisting the attack of the giant scorpion.
Arcane brilliance illuminates the entire sky.
Meteorites fall from the sky, icebergs appear in the void, cyan wind blades can cut cracks in space, and blue thunder divides the world.
"Uh..." Shanfisi's voice sounded from the sound transmission tube, "Guide Vikas... or, let's stop here, over there..."
After a long silence, Shanfeisi continued: "The scene was a bit huge, and I was afraid of being accidentally injured by my teammates."
No one laughs at Sanfisi.
Vikas directly ordered the airship to hover and did not dare to drive forward. The battlefield ahead was so destructive that approaching it would be the same as death.
"Turn around and be ready to evacuate from here at any time."
The airship turned around on the spot, and Duke and others also left their respective combat cabins and came to the rear of the lower cabin. They stood by the portholes and silently stared at the battlefield in the distance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"This is not a battle we can intervene in." Assistant Lidman murmured softly.
"The situation is a little bad. The airship in Bernoulli's Master Tower did not use the Ring of Projection to fight, and it lost too much combat power."
"It should have been when we were in Cuihai Valley that the Ring of Projection was defeated by the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon." Duke said.
The ring of projection is a conventional combat method used by the Great Arcane Mage. It can rely on the ring of projection to fight thousands of miles away, effectively avoiding the danger of fighting in person.
Blanc couldn't help but cursed: "This old guy wants to open up Cuihai Valley, but he is reluctant to show up. He treats us, Shenjiao City, as his coolies!"
"Watch your words." Vikas reminded.
For an arcane mage, you must have basic respect, even if all the arcane mages in Shenjiao City are against Bernoulli.
Blanc had a sullen face: "I know, I just don't like him treating us as his subordinates!"
Shanfeisi flat-mouthed, equally angry and disdainful: "Do these bug-players like to hide behind so much? If I were a fourth-level arcane mage, I would have gone head-to-head with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon!"
Duke was not involved in the complaint.
He stared intently at the battlefield ahead, trying to record the war without missing a single detail, and then handed it over to Xiaoyi for analysis.
This battle will allow him to fully understand the strength of high-level arcane mages and spiritual beasts.
"The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon looks like a scorpion, but there are obvious differences... The two most obvious ones are the chelicerae at the front end. The chelicerae of the scorpion is like a big pincer, but the chelicerae of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is like a
It’s a big knife with no forks.”
Another obvious difference is the tail.
The tip of the scorpion's tail has a barbed sting, but the tip of the black jade horseshoe dragon's tail is a long needle.
"Compared to the ferociousness of the Black Jade Scorpion, the image of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is gentler." Duke thought in his mind.
However, the combat power of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon far exceeds that of the Black Jade Scorpion.
The black jade scorpion following behind it is more like a younger brother cheering for the elder brother, and cannot help the battle between the airship brigade and the black jade horseshoe dragon.
There were several onlookers' airships, quietly raising semaphores to the surrounding areas.
The flagman of the Loop airship quickly captured the flag message and came over to report: "My lords, the nearby airship has invited us to besiege the Black Jade Scorpion who is alone."
In Penrose's absence, Vikas is the first commander of the airship, but he prefers to refer to everyone's opinions: "What do you think?"
Shanfeisi was the first to cry again: "Besiege, definitely besiege! If you can't defeat the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, you can't defeat the Black Jade Scorpion?"
This statement was unanimously recognized by everyone: "Indeed, we can't participate in the battle to hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab. At least we can cut off a few Black Jade Scorpions and reduce the pressure on Sir Christian and others."
Upon seeing this, Vikas immediately ordered the flag bearer: "Keep in touch with the surrounding airships and look for the lone Black Jade Scorpion to attack!"
"Yes, sir."
The flag bearer quickly responded to the surrounding airships with flags, and about a dozen airships responded, quickly forming a hunting airship team and surrounding an injured black jade scorpion around the battlefield.
This 5-ring spiritual insect, the Black Jade Scorpion, participated in a battle before and had three of its legs blown off.
There was also a huge crack on the back armor.
It doesn't know that the danger is approaching, so it quietly lies on the ground and licks its wounds, preparing to choose an opportunity to join the battle again.
By the time it was noticed by Youruo, more than a dozen airships were already floating around and began to launch ferocious attacks on it.
Because arcane mages of level 3 and above basically hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon in the airship team, this airship team only has level 1 and level 2 arcane mages.
However, all arcane mages have communicated through semaphores, and the most powerful method is to meet once they meet.
Either the most proficient arcana, or the arcane weapon that serves as a trump card.
Not to be outdone, Duke held a ring of sand eagle in one hand, keeping his arm steady with fighting spirit, and kept pulling the trigger.
The bullets are tilting crazily towards the injured back of the Black Jade Scorpion - only the injured area can be damaged by the bullets, and other places will definitely not be able to break the defense.
"Sanfisi is right!"
"If I can't beat the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, I can't beat you?"
