The dwarf defenders reacted immediately and tried to sound the horn to warn.
However, an invisible wave emanated from the shell ship, and these dwarf soldiers suddenly fell into a state of drowsiness and confusion.
And more than that, this invisible wave even spread with the shell ship as the center, and as the shell ship itself moved, it gradually covered the entire dwarf fortress.
But any dwarf, human, or various other races, animals, or professionals who were touched by that invisible wave were all trapped in some kind of confusion.
in state.
He was stunned and stagnant on the spot, his eyes were lifeless, and his face was full of dementia.
Before being controlled, these people could not even issue a warning.
A strange silence began to spread from the direction of the city gate to the interior of the city, and it moved very quickly.
Suddenly, a frightened, angry, and energetic voice echoed throughout the fortress.
"Who is it!"
A dwarf wearing a chainmail suit and holding an ax and hammer stepped out of a palace in the fortress, looking sharply at the shell ship in the sky that he had never seen before.
As the only legendary professional in Edinburgh, this powerful dwarf has never seen such an enemy in his long life.
While speaking, the legendary dwarf quickly glanced around the city wall. After seeing that all the tribesmen were only temporarily affected by a certain degree of mental attack, he was temporarily relieved.
The origin of this person is unknown, but its terrifying mind control spells can instantly subdue all creatures affected by it.
If he hadn't been a legendary profession and had the legendary resistance that a legendary profession would definitely acquire, and could forcibly change the judgment of a failed saving throw to a successful one when being affected by a certain spell, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the opponent's mind control, and the whole thing would have been impossible.
The fortress... I'm afraid it will be captured directly by this inexplicable attacker today.
However, faced with the problem of this legendary dwarf, the shell ship was still flying towards the interior of the huge city, and its height was gradually decreasing, as if it had the intention of landing inside the city.
The roar of the legendary dwarf just now that should have resounded through the entire city seemed to have been blocked by some kind of formation effect, so that no one in the busiest market knew that danger was coming.
Seeing this situation, the legendary dwarf was furious. His stocky legs suddenly stepped on the fine iron ground under his feet, and his whole body hit the direction of the shell ship like a cannonball.
However, as a pure warrior, the legendary dwarf without any flying ability still inevitably fell to the ground even after jumping to a height of nearly hundreds of meters.
But when he was at the highest point, the legendary dwarf still poured all his strength into the hammer he held in his right hand, even though he didn't have enough force, and tried his best to unleash his most ferocious blow.
The hammer surrounded by thunder slammed into the hull of the shell ship at lightning speed.
However, the position about ten meters in front of the hull of the shell ship seemed to be trapped in some kind of swamp, and its kinetic energy was quickly weakened. Although it still maintained a forward trend, the speed became like a turtle crawling.
Even the flashing thunder and lightning surrounding the hammer seemed to be slowed down by some invisible force field.
Four humanoid creatures with red eyes appeared on the side of the shell ship facing the hammer attack, allowing the legendary dwarf to see the attackers for the first time during their descent.
A humanoid creature with an octopus head and four tentacles, wearing a black robe.
Not the drow, not the gray dwarves, not even any of the underlying races that have long been at odds with each other.
Enemies never seen before.
Why does it appear here?
Countless questions immediately appeared in the legendary dwarf's mind, and his body finally fell to the ground.
"boom!"
The legendary dwarf fell from a height of hundreds of meters and smashed all the stone bricks at the landing point, and the flying gravel made a roaring sound.
In order to resist the flying hammer of this legendary dwarf, the four illithids also resisted for a while with their skinny hands like holding a ball, and finally succeeded in stopping the flying hammer completely.
The flying hammer suspended in the air suddenly turned the direction of the hammer head, and a "whoosh" sound was projected into the distance.
"Why don't you smash it back! Coward!"
The legendary dwarf cursed grumpily, looked at the battle ax in his left hand, hesitated for a moment and did not smash it out.
Turning to look at an iron siege crossbow that was not far away, the legendary dwarf ran over and held the siege crossbow that originally required at least five or six dwarf warriors to operate at the same time. He turned around and aimed at the shell ship in the sky.
.
"chimney!"
The crossbow string made of strong cowhide tendons made a dull sound, and the steel crossbow arrows several meters long flew straight towards the strange shell ship in the sky.
And immediately after, another crossbow arrow shot at the opponent one after another.
"chimney!"
"chimney!"
"chimney!"
However, whenever they get within ten meters of the shell ship's surface, these crossbow arrows are always blocked by an invisible barrier. After a brief confrontation, they lose momentum and are eventually manipulated by the four illithid monsters.
It was reflected back towards the legendary dwarf.
The legendary dwarf holding the steel ballista was unable to dodge, and the ballista he was holding was hit in the middle of the frame by one of the crossbow arrows.
The reliable texture also made of steel allows all the vibrations of this impact to be transmitted to the legendary dwarf.
It also made his hands numb for a while.
"You bitch, get off here!"
Even though many warrior professionals have unparalleled power, they find it difficult to display their true strength when faced with many difficulties.
Whether it's flying or some magic restrictions.
There is no way, there is no way.
The legendary dwarf, who followed behind with a ballista and a few crossbow arrows, shouted loudly at the shell ship flying in the sky, but all he got in return was the disdainful disregard of the four red-eyed illithids.
The shell ship, which originally seemed to be lowering its altitude and intending to land, did not lower it after slightly lowering its altitude. It remained at a high altitude that was difficult for a dwarf to reach and sailed unstoppably towards the place protected by this fortress.
The most central part of the city.
As a result, the festive scene of celebration spread and solidified at an extremely fast speed.
All the creatures enveloped by the force field centered on the shell ship stopped their movements at almost the same moment, and all stood there in silence and confusion.
Confused, he stood there blankly.
In a matter of seconds, everyone fell.
The legendary dwarf's eyes were splitting when he saw this scene, but he had no way to deal with the shell ship that just stayed in the sky and refused to come down and the unknown humanoid creature inside.
Even the crossbow arrows held in his hands did not dare to be fired at will. If those guys blocked the crossbow arrows and left them alone, the vertically falling crossbow arrows would definitely injure the dense crowd.
Before the other party could do anything to endanger the lives of his own clan members, he hurt his own clan members first.
"What on earth are you going to do!"
Looking at the shell ship slowly hovering over the market, seemingly looking for something, the legendary dwarf roared loudly.
But he didn't get any response from the illithids.
…
"Shh~"
At the same time, some cautious figures were sneaking in the shadows in the corners of the city.
"Stop making a sound and see what these things are trying to do."
"I didn't expect that these non-human and ghostly things would actually have a grudge against these dwarves... A dog bites a dog, and it's just right, hee hee~"
"We worked so hard to smuggle up through the underground tunnel just to track down these strange things that we have never seen before. Now we just want to see if we can pick up any bargains..."
"Sister, do you think that if we take this ship back and give it to Lady Rose first, will she give us a gift?"
A black-skinned elf holding a leather whip lazily leaned against the stone wall in the darkness, his evil eyes carefully observing the shell ship suspended in mid-air in the distance with his peripheral vision.
Having gained experience in facing those monsters, they kept a safe enough distance to ensure that they and others would not fall into the other's mental control.
"Let's see what good things we can get first..."
…
In the dark space, two drunk people sang songs that were a little out of tune, trying to communicate with the "Holy Word of Creation" Li Wen spoke of.
The gray mist walked happily around the two of them.
She felt a little unusually excited that Li Wen could...play with her friends at her place.
Li Wen, who was dissatisfied with the noise outside, soon moved the venue to Croxane's place after discussing with Shakespeare.
"Hiccup~ No more wine?"
Shakespeare stretched out his hand and saw that the empty wine barrel was pushed away by him and rolled away.
"ah?"

[You are trying to communicate a certain rule through voice. The completion rate of this attempt is 13.14%.]
Li Wen ignored the dense messages in his mind and also burped a wine filled with the aroma of wheat.
