When the mortal kingdom rises and falls in chaos, and the entire continent is gradually swallowed up by a deeper whirlpool of darkness, it is difficult for those lands outside the main continent to remain calm forever. Every piece of land floating in nothingness is...
Affected by the dark side of Karnos, twisted laws and negative magic are spreading from the depths of this world, infecting the material realm layer by layer. The distortion speed of the world far exceeds any tide of chaos recorded in history.
The changes that have taken place in Koro have become so obvious that even the villagers can detect them, not to mention the scholars of the Sanctuary who have been monitoring the border of Chaos for thousands of years and whose duty is to guard the realm of order.
A group of investigators from the Order State set out a few days ago. They were crossing the dark realm of chaos, and the scenery at the southern end of the Anzu continent was gradually reflected in the eyes of senior monk Carathius.
The Ansu Continent and the Kingdom of Eternal Winter are far across each other. Apart from darkness and chaos, there are only those broken islands attached to the main continent floating around, connecting various floating lands since ancient times.
There are only two modes of transportation on the mainland. One is the expensive teleportation array, which is efficient and safe, but expensive and cannot be activated at all times. When chaos interference is severe, the teleportation array must be closed; the second
The other are various flying tools, wind boats made by elves or magic ships made by humans, as well as domesticated blue whales trained by orcs and trolls. These means of transportation are the crystallization of the wisdom accumulated by the Koro people for thousands of years.
Although sailing in the Sea of Karnos is extremely dangerous and there is a possibility of being attacked by Chaos at any time, these means of transportation are still indispensable. Without them to closely connect the broken continents of Koro, the mortals of this world would probably be in trouble.
Thousands of years ago, they were swallowed up by darkness in the dilemma of fighting each other.
Karasius stood on the high bow deck of the "Hammer of Order", watching the clouds and mist on both sides being blown away by the energy flow ejected by the magic warship, and thinking about the connection between the continents, the progress of civilization, and technology in his heart.
Survival and other issues, the cold wind blew over the senior monk's cheek, raising his gray curly hair, and the white monk's robe with gold trim blew up in the wind, making a whirring sound behind him.
However, Karasius didn't notice this at all. He was immersed in his own thoughts. The gradually clear continental cliffs in front of him just formed a vague shadow in his unfocused gray eyes. The senior monk liked this kind of ability very much.
In a state of deep contemplation, even in the Order Country, few people can understand his weird ideas. Even the most brilliant scholars only focus on coping with the immediate crisis or rigidly reciting those ancient classics. Very few
Some people will seriously think about the future of this world, or worry about the current status of Colo's declining civilization.
This often makes him feel that the dark clouds hanging over this world are getting thicker every second.
A shaking came from under the feet, and the "Holy Hammer" began to slow down slowly. There was a creaking sound inside the great battleship, and layers of magic runes appeared around the white streamlined hull.
The wing-like magic guide panels on both sides of the ship slowly opened up to improve the efficiency of capturing free magic in the air. In the rear half of the ship, two magic furnaces arranged in parallel released a large amount of waste heat.
Two dark red tracks are left in the clouds and mist: The magic warship can capture a large amount of free magic power when sailing at high speed in the Sea of Karnos. However, once it slows down, the efficiency of the magic energy system in the ship will plummet to a minimum.
This is the time when a ship is put to the greatest test.
Karasius glanced back and saw that the furnace device installed in the center of the ship had begun to operate: the power of chaos in the Anzu continent was raging everywhere, and the ship must activate Symmetra before approaching the continent.
The senior monk sighed deeply.
"My lord, why are you sighing?" Beside Carasius, an attendant wearing a white robe with blue borders asked in a low voice, his words were extremely respectful.
"This ship is the most powerful magic warship in the Sanctuary and even the entire world of Koro." Karasius said without thinking.
"Yes, this is the pride of the sanctuary," the attendant said with a proud look on his face, "It is superior to the top combat power of the entire Koro."
Karasius said calmly: "Two hundred years ago, this ship was also the most powerful magic warship. Three hundred years ago, it was also the most powerful one. Five hundred years ago, the 'Holy Hammer' was not yet completed. However, the most powerful one at that time was
The battleship is still at the same level as it. Going back to a thousand years ago, in the previous generation, the most powerful mortal weapon of Koro at that time was the sky fortress built by the Violet Tower Council. One fortress can park six
'Sacred Hammer'."
The attendant looked confused, not knowing how to answer at this moment in order to appear respectful enough. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "You have extensive knowledge."
The senior monk looked at the servant with a humble look on his face. He knew that this was just a servant with little knowledge and he could not force the other person to understand his words, but he still sighed and then turned around to continue looking at the scenery.
The bow of the Holy Hammer began to rise: ahead was the floating island group in the southern part of the Ansu continent. There were large and small stones floating in the air, and the flying monsters on the floating islands often emerged from the clouds.
Therefore, ships should avoid this height to reduce unnecessary risks.
Carasius glanced down casually when the bow of the ship broke through the clouds. At this moment, some strange colors suddenly caught his attention: "Huh?"
The Sacred Hammer is currently flying over a huge floating island. This floating island has vast and dense jungles and large mountains and hills. Its scale can almost be said to be a small kingdom. However, the scale of the floating island
It is not surprising in itself. What surprised the senior monks was that there was a large clearing on the island that had obviously been cut down. Only a half-moon-shaped gap appeared on the edge of the largest forest on the island. It was the result of recent felling, and this large area
Many rough construction facilities can be seen in the open space: wooden scaffolding, connected grass sheds, large stoves made of earth and stone, and some large pits. Next to those large pits, you can see several rickety blue buildings.
Colored ellipsoids, the shapes of those ellipsoids are like eggs, glowing with oil under the sky light, and there are grid-like patterns on the surface formed by bundling. These ellipsoids are arranged side by side in twos, and some thick ropes are hung between the spheres.
between.
"Those floating islands...when did they become inhabited?" Calasius asked, pointing to the scene below the clouds.
The attendant took a look and showed a puzzled expression: "I haven't heard that. Just now, I heard several Anzu crew members on the ship talking about the group of monsters on the floating island. There should be only monsters on it."
.”
Calasius frowned. He also saw that the facilities on the floating island were quite rough and crude. Even the defeated human troops who fled to the island would not have built the camp like that. While thinking, he was suddenly startled and thought of Warcraft.
It was a smart move, but he soon shook his head again, not quite believing his guess.
Just then, something happened that surprised him even more:
I saw those big blue balls gradually beginning to expand. The originally somewhat collapsed balls soon expanded like the backs of the bubble fish, a specialty of the Glow Continent, and there were many ropes and hooks underneath the balls that were thrown aside.
Only then did he clearly see some short figures swaying around the big balls, which seemed to be humanoid monsters native to the floating island.
Those big blue balls were swelling bigger and bigger, and soon Carathius realized that these balls were not just swelling: another important reason why they were getting bigger was that these things were rising!
These primitive and crude gadgets... turned out to be flying tools!
It was not only Calasius who noticed the movement on the floating island. The observers of the Sacred Hammer also quickly discovered the slowly rising air balloons below the ship. The well-trained military personnel immediately took action.
Driven by professional instinct, they regarded those balloons as an unstable threat, so they rushed to their posts one by one, but they did not act rashly because the order to attack had not been issued yet.
A soldier from the Order State wearing mithril light armor ran up from the lower deck and ran all the way to Karasius: "Sir! Do you want to attack those...those big balloons?"
Carathius seemed not to hear the soldiers' voices at all, and a louder voice was echoing in his mind:
The monsters in the Beyonder Realm have made flying machines! The monsters in the Beyonder Realm have made flying machines!
When the various races on the mainland that claimed to be advanced creatures declined century after century, those Warcraft tribes not only completed their internal integration, but even evolved to the point where they could create aircraft!
The soldier did not wait for the order, so he repeated it again: "Sir, would you like to attack..."
"No attack!" Karasius suddenly let out a scream that was almost like a scream, but he instantly realized his gaffe, quickly straightened his expression, and said calmly, "Let's avoid them." (~^~)
