Although Lily had already slowed down as hard as she could, the sound of a five-meter-tall war beast covered in slow and heavy armor hitting the city wall still startled the defenders. Some of the soldiers who had just been replaced were resting in the rear.
After hearing the loud noise, the wounded soldiers even thought that the city wall had finally been breached - they looked up in horror at the direction of the sound, only to see a nose as big as a calf shaking at the top of the city.
Dangle away.
Lily scratched at the wall of White Maple Leaf City with all four paws, trying hard to climb over the wall. However, the tall and vertical wall and a slippery magic shield made it difficult for her to achieve her goal. The husky girl was anxious.
They were jumping up and down outside, shouting loudly as they jumped: "Open the door, open the door! Let us in! Don't you see that we are here to help!?"
The soldiers guarding the city were in chaos at this time. Of course they could see that the giant beast in front of them was here to help. However, the city's highest defense barrier had been activated. Opening the gate at this time meant that the magic barrier in front of the city must be temporarily closed.
, and the fire monsters outside have gathered a new wave of offensive at this time. Closing the barrier in this case is obviously not a decision that a group of frontline soldiers can make - in fact, even the commanders standing at the top of the city
None of them had this authority. They had to send messengers to rush to the fortress in the city, where the lord and other generals with authority were coordinating the overall situation.
At this time, a new wave of monsters has gathered again - in fact, it has exceeded the concept of "a group of monsters". Countless humanoid creatures burning with flames are densely arranged together and advancing steadily on the great plains. The scene is like
There is an endless sea of fire, and this sea of fire is still bombarding White Maple Leaf City with the firepower of tens of thousands of fireballs per second. How can one describe the spectacle as spectacular?
While charging at full speed, Lily could still break out a way with her close-range defense cannon and armored shield, but now that she had stopped, she was naturally frightened when she saw the sight of the monster army regrouping.
With her hair standing on end, the husky girl let out a roar, turned her head and ran towards the city wall——
Using a very unsightly gesture to climb over the city wall, Lily used her actual actions to prove what it means to jump over a wall in a hurry.
Fortunately, the city shield technology of this Lahirien planet has not developed to the level of a full-coverage magic screen. Instead, it is achieved by inlaying magic stones in the physical city walls and covering the walls with a layer of magic barrier.
Otherwise, Lily might not be able to get in even if she is too anxious to jump over the wall...
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned when they saw such a giant beast crossing the city wall from above their heads. Some of them didn't even notice the weapons in their hands falling to the ground, until the commander of the position reacted and shouted loudly to reorganize the defense.
Only then did these soldiers wake up one by one.
At this moment, Lily has crossed the city wall and landed safely in an open space behind the city wall...well, not very stable either.
The teammates who were fixed on the "passenger seat" withstood the triple test of tumbling deceleration, humiliating wall climbing, and the final desperate wall jump. Basically, no one had a normal expression. Even Yzaks, who had a strong physique, had a slightly troubling look in his eyes.
Confused, let alone others.
Frankly speaking, if they weren't worried about the dog girl getting angry, they would have vomited it out long ago.
"I'll go... you've been struggling all this time..." Hao Ren unbuckled the seat with a sly expression, and complained as he stood up, "Can you please tell me before you climb the wall or brake next time that you still have something on your back?
Have you forgotten how many people there are?"
"How can I remember this?" Lily yelled as she squatted down and scratched her ears. "Normally there would be no one on my back..."
As soon as Hao Ren stood up, he almost fell back: "Hey, why did you suddenly squat down... Stop shaking!"
However, his reminder was too late. Lily had already begun to shake the hair all over her body: although she had a thick armor and did not have to worry about being contaminated by dust and gravel, she still sweated a little while running.
Before the environmental circulation system in the armor took effect, she subconsciously began to shake her hair.
Everyone was thrown out...
"Ugh..." Lily looked down at her teammates who had been thrown away in embarrassment. She couldn't help but lie down and cover her head with her paws: "I didn't mean it..."
"I never want to ride on a big dog again." Although Vivian can fly, she was caught off guard and was thrown out just now. "Fortunately, I thought this would be exciting before."
"Finally back to White Maple Leaf City," Nangong Sanba had recovered from the dizziness at this time. He saw a wave of soldiers gathering around him, so he came to Hao Ren and asked in a low voice, "What should we do next?
"
Hao Ren glanced at Leah, who was standing next to her with a bewildered look on her face: "Let's go to the mage area, Leah's magic tower."
"What about these people?" Nangong Wuyue said, while pointing with the tip of his tail at the soldiers who were looking at three points of confusion, three points of nervousness and four points of leadership, I x your uncle: they are all staying on the city wall.
The reserve team behind them was preparing to participate in the follow-up battle to defend the city. Unexpectedly, before the order to go up the city wall came, a behemoth siege beast armed to the tip of its tail descended from the sky. This was obviously beyond their expectations.
Hao Ren thought for a while, walked to Lily who was in a daze, took out a microphone from the latter's leg armor slot and put it to his mouth: "Ahem..."
A harsh electric sound suddenly resounded throughout the neighborhood.
"Please give way, we are here to help defend the city. We have just repelled a wave of attacks from the front of the city, but now the defense in the mage area is weak. We must rush over as soon as possible. Please cooperate. Repeat, please cooperate.
.”
Lily looked at Hao Ren blankly: "Landlord, why do I still have this on me?"
"I told you that your equipment is a comprehensive field support module. As a mobile base, how can it be without functions?" Hao Ren rolled his eyes and glanced at Lily, "You also have an ice cream machine behind your neck."
Lily: "...Landlord, I always feel that I have been deceived by you!"
Hao Ren chuckled and ignored the Husky girl's doubts. At this time, the surrounding soldiers seemed to have received the order from the city wall and began to disperse in an orderly manner. However, a man with a guard official appearance walked up to Hao Ren.
In front of benevolence.
"No matter who you are, White Maple Leaf City thanks you for your help," the defense officer stood up straight and said forcefully, "but the current situation is special, and the order I received is that I must find out your origins..."
"They are the helpers I asked for!" At this time, Leah, who had been offline for most of the day, seemed to finally wake up. Although the development of the situation in front of her was still beyond her understanding, she still judged what she should say.
, "Foreign mercenaries are very reliable."
The defense officer glanced at Leah, as if he recognized the identity of this shabby mage: "You are... the poorest one in the mage district..."
"The smartest one!" Miss Leah waved her iron staff vigorously, "I am a registered great magician and ancient civilization scholar! And I also found a team of super powerful mercenaries to help guard
City! Just because of what you just said, I have to ask you for two hundred more gold coins, do you understand?"
The defense officer subconsciously took two steps back. He didn't know whether he was afraid of the momentum of Yulia's shouting or the iron staff in her hand: "Okay, okay, I understand, I will report the truth to my superiors..."
This young officer has already understood that neither the behemoth siege beast in front of him nor the mad war mage wielding an iron staff is a challenge that he can handle. He came here just to finish the order and put aside the routine.
After asking the question, he wanted to run away quickly - anyway, the group of people in front of him did help repel a wave of offensive, and now a well-known figure in the city jumped out to prove the identity of this group of people. It would be really disrespectful for him to talk too much.
life.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hao Ren immediately urged everyone to go to the mage area before more changes occurred.
"Why are you going to my mage tower?" Although Leah followed the team in a daze, her theoretical employer was the most confused at this time, "Oh, I know, you are still planning to rob me.
That’s not right! Looking at the equipment you are showing off now, you should be richer than me, right! Even if I sell my mage tower with the land, I probably won’t be able to get enough of what Miss Lily has.
Put on armor...Wait a minute, I understand what's going on! Do you want me to go home, pack my bags, and prepare to run away? Do you think White Maple Leaf City can't be defended? To be honest, I also think it's a bit difficult to defend this city.
Xuan, but this is still my home after all, so there is still some emotion... Hey, why don't you talk?"
"Please, miss, can you restrain your imagination a little?" Hao Ren looked at this scholar with a headache and a strong curiosity, "We went to your mage tower to check some information."
"Looking up information?! At this point?" Leah was stunned. "I always thought it was weird enough that I learned how to defuse bombs after activating the alchemy bomb made by my teacher..."
Hao Ren: "..."
As they spoke, everyone had arrived at the mage area in the south of the city, which had also entered a state of fighting.
Each mage tower lit up with orange light beams representing enemy attacks. Huge magical energy was extracted from various mana nodes and continuously injected into the defense system of White Maple Leaf City, while various types of combat puppets
Under the command of their masters, batches of them headed to the areas where the fighting was taking place.
This "Holy Land of Knowledge and Mysteries" no longer has the aloof and comfortable appearance it once had.
Due to the absence of the owner, Leah's mage tower was the only building that was not in combat status. However, this dilapidated and old tower stood alone in the corner, and no one paid attention to it.
After letting Lily return to her original form, the group entered the mage tower in a hurry and headed straight to the library on the second floor.
Leah followed without knowing why, and then saw the group of people starting to rummage in front of the old books. She was confused: "What are you looking for? If you are really looking for important information, you can
Go to the upper library and have a look. Here are just some recreational readings that lack authority..."
Hao Ren interrupted Miss Mage's words. He picked up an old book and shook it in the air: "No, I have found it."
That book was not an authoritative academic work, but just a "popular science book" on the Great Tunnel that was dismissed as "absurd" by the academic community. Its author was Ronzel, a little-known "scholar"
.
Hao Ren opened the book and quickly found a description of the Great Tunnel.
On those yellowed pages, Roenzel described his discovery of the Great Tunnel in this way: "...I looked directly at the Great Tunnel, and what I saw was pure darkness... There was no up, down, left, or right in the Great Tunnel.
For any fixed ground or building, there are only all kinds of weird fragments floating in the void... It's like a destroyed world, its fragments floating inside the large tunnel... I, Ronzel,
We can declare quite responsibly that the Great Tunnel is a different space, and apart from some absurd images, we can’t find anything logical inside it.”
Looking at the description on the page, Lily couldn't help but widen her eyes: "That's not what was written in this book last time we saw it!"
"These words... are different from what we remember," Nangong Sanba was also dumbfounded. He also found other books, which he had read before, "and these, the ones facing the big tunnel.
The descriptions have all changed, and no book mentions things like poison gas and monsters anymore..."
Elizabeth blinked: "Uncle Ren, what's going on?"
Hao Ren didn't show too much shock when he saw the changed words. He just took a deep breath and nodded lightly to Vivian.
