The long-planned violent attack from the [Illithid Empire] was launched as planned.
In the fluctuation of spells.
The red hot flames soaring into the sky are like a pillar connecting directly to the sky.
Accompanied by infinite heat.
It stabbed straight into the deepest part of the clouds.
In the face of that heat, even the clouds were burned through a big hole without any resistance!
And in the place where the Pillar of Fire originated, in that important city in the hinterland of the [Ghis Empire].
The shock waves were like translucent ring attacks, forcibly flattening most of the buildings in the city and a large number of people!
Even those rough-skinned giants don't get any preferential treatment in the face of this force that can tear the mountain apart.
In the blink of an eye.
It was torn into countless pieces of meat.
Along with the dust and gravel flying wantonly!
It can be said.
Just this round of attacks, the entire city's population was reduced by more than 70% on the spot, with only a few residents still hanging on...
but.
In the most central area of the attack, as the main target of the attack, all the vitality has still not been exhausted!
Several [Gith] who have been living here and performing core guard duties are still alive.
As a place to preserve valuable treasures such as the "God-given Scroll".
That's what it's been all along.
Various protective spells are constantly being applied here.
The materials used in the entire building are all of the highest quality.
Various factors are added together.
Very directly, it gives it extraordinary and powerful defense!
Therefore, even if multiple [Illithid Elders] had prepared a charged attack for a long time, it would only make it look damaged.
No matter how the flames around it stimulated and collided, it still stood firm despite the attacks, quite strong!
However, the current situation cannot give the treasure guardians more confidence after all...
Full of despair.
Still lingering in their hearts...
Because, not long ago, they had determined the fact that the surrounding area had been sealed by special spells.
In addition, all teleportation arrays in the entire city have been destroyed in advance...
It can be said.
Compared to other areas in the [Ghis Empire], this city has been temporarily isolated, like an isolated island!
Even if the reinforcements sense something is wrong, they want to provide support quickly.
It also takes quite a while to get here!
And in such a situation where there is no help.
Even with their geographical advantages, they would never be able to delay it for so long...
After all, those daring attackers who dare to go deep into the enemy's hinterland cannot be without relevant preparations!
Now.
When I think about the death of myself and others, not only my brain may be devoured by the enemy, but also the [God-given Scroll] that I and others have been guarding may fall into the enemy's hands.
The faces of the guards looked extremely ferocious and unwilling.
In his mouth, he kept uttering some polite words under urgent thoughts.
"*%&$#Those guys..."
Only in that way can they feel a little better inside.
He ignored the cursing and cursing of his colleagues around him who were full of anger and some fear.
Looking at the [Illithid Elders] gradually surrounding them in the area not far away.
As the leader among the caretakers.
A [Gith] wearing a solemn red robe, after being silent for a while, decisively ordered with a gloomy face:
"Everyone, although it seems that we have no hope of survival."
"But treasures like the [God-given Scroll] must not fall into the hands of the enemy!"
"That will inevitably cause many crises in the future of our clan!"
"So, please lend me your last strength and let me use space magic to forcibly throw the [God-given Scroll] into the time and space storm..."
As the guardian of the [God-given scroll].
Few people know more clearly how powerful this thing is than those who have seen a large number of scholars obtain the truth from it.
It is something that carries knowledge given by gods, and it is also a treasure that should not appear in the mortal world. It is enough to promote the progress of the entire civilization!
Once it fell into the hands of the [Illithid Empire] due to the mistakes of myself and others.
Then, the opponent, which is already ahead of the [Ghis Empire] in terms of civilization, is bound to further distance itself!
By then.
It is very likely that even the power of the [Slaughterer of All Living Beings] will not be able to close the huge gap, so they can die, but the [God-given Scroll] must not fall into the hands of the enemy!
As for why they didn't destroy things at the last moment with a desperate attitude?
The reason is also very simple.
Because the materials used in [God-given Scroll] are too special.
Those are the scales derived from the body of [The Giant Serpent of the Universe—Koma]!
It’s definitely not some parallel import!
Before shrinking.
The surface area of that scaly entity is as large as the land plate of Eurasia!
Even if a star explodes or is smelted inside the sun for hundreds of millions of years, it will never leave a single trace on it!
Therefore, it is impossible to destroy [gods] just because they are not mortals!
Exiling it through space magic is the only solution.
At this time, the surrounding area had already been blocked by the [Illithid Empire] in advance.
Trying to use space magic like that.
The difficulty is naturally quite huge.
More than just tearing the space apart becomes difficult.
Even the accuracy of releasing space spells will drop off a cliff!
It's like receiving interference.
It is also because of this that the guardians only hope to exile things, rather than directly transporting things to their own territory.
Furthermore.
As the final price for forced spell casting, after the spell casting is completed.
Excessive consumption of mana will most likely require the caster’s vitality to replenish it!
The existing personnel will most likely pay the price with their lives directly for this...
So, after listening to the leader’s words.
The faces of the [Gith] present could not help but darken.
Just, nevertheless.
In their hearts, they may be a little panicked, or perhaps a little afraid of death...
However, soon, the voices responded to the leader's words.
"...I understand, I'm ready."
"I originally wanted to attend my child's wedding..."
"Stop talking, I've even prepared gifts..."
"If you die, just die. May the Lord of us watch over us and let us meet again in the Kingdom of the Lord..."
As the first pioneers of the [Ghis Empire], they are also those who have survived the hard times.
Perhaps after they continue to live peacefully for decades, they will gradually be corrupted by hedonism and lose the courage in their hearts, but now, as the original pioneers, they still retain the courage to die for the sake of their race.
