Chapter 1052 Delaying Time
Although Lin Li felt that 'Osric might have noticed the appearance of this exploration team', he was not willing to give up the other possibility. Perhaps, this fake great lord, who only possesses a part of the real Osric's will, also possesses only a part of Osric's intellect.
Finally, when night fell completely, the exploration team arrived at a small hidden valley outside Oranna City. This small valley should be regarded as the closest hidden place to Olanna City, but there are still thousands of meters of open land between the valley and Olanna City. Fortunately, according to the memory of the captured high elf, because it had been peaceful for thousands of years, there were very few high elf patrolling the city walls at night.
In fact, this is not surprising. There are only a few hundred human and other races of high elves who are completely treated as slaves. They have no resistance at all under the policy of the Great Purge. Why do high elves bother to arrange inspections? It can be said that in this world, the life of the high elves is extremely comfortable, and there is nothing that can threaten their existence.
The night color did not completely cover up everything. Under the starlight in the sky, the majestic Olanna City was even more gorgeous and mysterious, giving people a dreamlike feeling. Compared with Oranna City here, Oranna City in Anriel World, which is the capital of the Kingdom of France, is simply crude.
However, everyone in the exploration team had no intention of appreciating such a rare sight. In their eyes, the majestic and gorgeous city of Olanna was like a giant man-eating beast, bringing them only tension and fear.
Judging from the information available, Osric must be in the palace in the city, and his magic army is divided into two parts. One part is responsible for guarding the palace, and the other part lives in the noble area outside the palace. .
This is also one of the reasons why the rest of the exploration team agreed to the raid. As long as the plan is good, they can use thunder to kill the high elves outside the palace in one fell swoop, and then enter the palace. But this is predicated on the fact that the high elves are really unprepared, but Lin Li is not optimistic about this.
Therefore, when discussing the raid plan, Lin Li used some specious reasons to overturn the plan of Archbishop Martin and others to go outside and then inside, and advocated a beheading plan for the high elves, directly entering the palace to kill the fake lord. For others, since they did not know the details of the fake big lord, there seemed to be no difference in difficulty between the beheading plan and the outside first, so they did not insist too much.
Maybe life in this world is indeed too comfortable. At night, Oranna City has almost no defense measures. The exploration team left the small valley, and under the cover of the numerous magic fields, they quickly arrived safely under the city wall of Olanna City. The members of the exploration team are all above level 15. The tall city wall has no hindrance to them. Even the Dragon Horse Beast under the Bright Knight can jump over it.
Lin Li used his mental power to carefully explore the situation in the city and found that there was no sign of an ambush. Then he waved his hand to signal the team to start entering the city. Under the cover of the numerous magic fields, although the movement of the exploration team entering the city was not small, it was digested by the twisted rules as soon as it appeared. In a moment, the entire team silently climbed over the city wall and arrived in Olanna City.
The team continued to sneak into the city towards the central palace, and stopped only when they were several hundred meters away from the square in front of the Buddha Hall. At this time, the alchemists in the Lordaeron team also began to summon their own alchemy colossi.
According to the plan, after rushing into the palace, the teams from the Tower of Twilight and the Temple of Light will mainly attack the fake high lord and other high elves in the palace, while the team from Lordaeron will hold on to the main road and block the high elves coming to support from outside. Elf. Therefore, if you have to wait until you enter the palace before summoning the Alchemy Colossus, it will obviously be too late. You can only summon it here and then rush into the palace as quickly as possible.
However, when the exploration team rushed into the square and was about to directly attack the palace gate, the two extremely luxuriously decorated gates suddenly automatically opened slowly to both sides. Seeing this scene, everyone in the exploration team couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking. They immediately stopped in the square and quickly formed a defensive formation.
At the same time, there was a sudden change in the sky. The originally soft moon suddenly turned into a scorching sun hanging in the sky, and the night turned into day.
Under the sun, the entire palace was coated with a layer of golden light, and in the dazzling light, a tall figure slowly walked out from the gate.
When the figure completely emerged from the light, everyone in the exploration team couldn't help but think of some pictures handed down from the dark ages, and a name immediately emerged in their hearts, the Great Lord Osric!
Obviously, the exploration team's raid failed before it even started. The appearance of High Lord Osric was enough to show that the exploration team's actions were always under the control of the opponent. Although they knew that the great lord in front of them was just a fake, everyone in the exploration team still felt a sense of despair. From the surge of magic power and the incomparable majestic pressure emanating from the opponent's body, they could completely feel that the strength of this fake lord was beyond what they and others could contend with.
And with the appearance of the great lord Osric, figures kept flashing around the square, all wearing farro robes and holding dark moon branches in their hands. They were obviously members of the magic legion. And the members of this magic legion also exude huge magic waves, and each one has strength above the legendary level.
After the members of the Magic Legion appeared, they did not immediately attack the exploration team. Instead, they formed an encirclement around the square. Each of them looked at the surrounded exploration team with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. generally.
It's really over now! Facing such a formation put up by the high elves, even powerful men at the peak of legends like Archbishop Martin and Donald, their hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
Lin Li, who was standing in front of the Dusk Tower team, had no change in his expression at this time. The situation before him actually did not exceed his expectations. If such a situation did not happen, Lin Li would still wonder if there might be any conspiracy here in Osric.
In the eyes of Archbishop Martin and Donald, the strength gap between the exploration team and the high elves is simply a huge difference that cannot be made up in any case. If the raid was successful, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but now it is clear that this glimmer of hope is gone.
However, for Lin Li, the only one who was really difficult to deal with, or the one who really made him fearful, was the fake Osric in front of him. Although the Magic Legion was very powerful, it was not enough to pose a threat to him. They lured the people from the Temple of Light and Lordaeron here just to minimize the losses to their men.
The fake Osric's eyes swept over the members of the exploration team, as if he was about to say something. But Lin Li knew the principle of attacking first to gain advantage and attacking later to suffer disaster. Without even waiting for Osric to speak, he suddenly waved his hand and a bolt of lightning flew out instantly.
The target of the electric light was not the fake Osric, but a high elf standing in the air in another direction. That high elf also possesses the strength of the legendary pinnacle level, and should be a leader-level figure in the magic legion.
Although the fake Osric was fake, Lin Li could also feel that the opponent definitely had the strength of the holy realm, and it was basically impossible to succeed in a sneak attack. Therefore, Lin Li chose the legendary peak high elf leader as his target, which could at least reduce some of the burden on his men.
If it is ordinary magic, even if it is legendary level magic, it is basically very difficult to hurt the high elf commander at the legendary peak with one blow. However, what Lin Li cast was not magic, but directly projected the star fragments and thunder.
The star fragments themselves contain extremely terrifying power. After Lin Li stepped into the holy realm, although he did not have the cooperation of the Wrath of the Stars, the power he could unleash was not comparable to before. As for the Star Fragment Thunder, it has the sharpest attack among the seven Star Fragments. The projection of the Saint Domain strongman, coupled with the extremely sharp attack, is not something that ordinary legendary peak figures can compete with.
In the eyes of everyone, they only saw a flash of lightning, and then they saw the high elf commander over there, as well as several high elfs behind him. Holes as thick as arms instantly appeared on their bodies. They were actually caused by this incomparable One swift strike skewered the meat.
"Kill, kill them!" Seeing this scene, the fake Osric was immediately furious. He originally planned to say something about humble humans, but he didn't expect that the other party was so despicable and dared to speak in front of him. Sneak attack on your own men!
And this scene also made the strong men at the peak of legends such as Archbishop Martin and Donald in the exploration team feel chills in their hearts. They knew very well that the high elf leader who was killed instantly was as powerful as himself. So if it were them, would they be able to dodge that thunderous blow?
Of course, as a partner, Lin Li's strength should be a good thing for Archbishop Martin and others. But considering their status as the legendary peak powerhouses, their feelings are somewhat complicated. After all, in the world of Anriel, the legendary peak power almost means an invincible existence, even claiming to be able to compete with the powerful ones in the holy realm. But now, seeing the same legendary peak powerhouse being killed instantly like ants, they felt a little disappointed in their hearts.
Archbishop Martin was a little better. In his eyes, Lin Li was still a son of light, and he was also a family member. At that time, Velen, the Son of Light, was very powerful. Even Abōphis, one of the three arbiters of the Supreme Council, was defeated by him. From this point of view, it seems natural that Lin Li is also a son of light and has the ability to instantly kill the legendary peak powerhouse.
However, for the people of Lordaeron such as Donald and Campbell, in addition to feeling lost, they felt more uncontrollable panic. Although judging from the attack just now, they vaguely felt that it should be the work of a magic weapon, but the magic weapon that can instantly kill the legendary peak powerhouse is probably the only legendary artifact.
Thinking of the word "artifact", even in the face of such a desperate situation, Donald and Campbell couldn't help but have a flash of greed in their eyes. Although one of them is the chief court mage of Lordaeron and the other is the most promising prince to inherit the throne, it can be said that they have seen countless good things, including some of the best magical weapons labeled as artifacts. However, everyone knows that for that kind of artifact, at best, it can only have a pseudo word in front of it, which is the so-called semi-artifact.
In the history of Anriel's world, there are probably countless magical weapons that can truly be called artifacts. The most famous one is the weapon once used by the Immortal King to kill Azadas, the Dragon of Destruction. However, there is no detailed description of that weapon in either official history or legend.
Therefore, until now, no one can tell clearly what the weapons used by the Immortal King look like, and they basically belong to legendary existences. In addition, there is the Book of Eternity made by Gresco using the leaves of the Tree of Eternity, UU Kanshu www.uukanｋshu.net and the Moonlight Scepter of the High Elf Queen. From the perspective of the world, these are enough to be classified as artifacts. In line.
Donald and Campbell believed that the weapon Lin Li had just used, even if it did not reach the level of a legendary artifact, was at least much more powerful than the so-called semi-artifacts they had seen in terms of its power to kill the legendary peak powerhouse in an instant. too much.
However, both Donald and Campbell knew that now was not the time for such thoughts. If the opponent can instantly kill a legendary peak high elf, he can instantly kill himself and others, not to mention that now we have to face a huge crisis together. Therefore, their greed suddenly flashed, and then it was deeply hidden in their hearts, without even a trace being expressed.
"President Feyre, the raid plan has failed. Leave those high elves to us. I hope you can try your best to hold off Osric. We will get rid of them as soon as possible to support you!" Seeing Osric furious, a A fierce battle was about to begin. Donald's heart moved and he came up with a new battle plan.
Although he didn't dare to show his greed for the artifact, Donald couldn't help but be a little careful and left the fake lord to Lin Li to fight alone. Of course, this was also why he felt that Lin Li would not be killed by the fake lord quickly with that artifact. ! .
