Chapter 1159 Ultimatum

Against the "Ice Colossus", the biggest problem lies in how to crack the anti-magic field.

So is there any way to crack it?

The answer is yes.

Although the anti-magic field is extremely terrifying, it also has weaknesses.

For example, artifacts are not affected by the anti-magic field, and can still function normally in the anti-magic field.

Joan really has an artifact.

If he walked into the anti-magic field of "Ice Colossus", all the magic devices on his body would lose their effectiveness, except for the high-level artifact "Tears of God", which would not be affected.

However, to his embarrassment, the "Tears of God" is not a weapon, and it has no attack power, and the "mythical energy" it provides cannot be directly used to kill the "Ice Colossus".

If he extracts the mythical energy from the "Tears of God", converts it into a spell slot, and uses it to cast spells, and ends up going back to the starting point—the spell transformed from the mythical energy will still be shielded by the anti-magic field.

Besides artifacts, is there any other way to deal with the anti-magic field?

The first thing Joan thought of was the "dispersion technique".

This third-level spell is specially used to dispel the effects of other spells. Unfortunately, the "dispel" itself will also be suppressed by the anti-magic field and cannot be used to dispel the anti-magic field.

Qiao An still has a "myth countermeasure", the mythical path ability can take effect normally in the "anti-magic field", but the "anti-magic field" from different sources cannot cancel each other out, which means "myth countermeasure" It is also impossible to eliminate the "anti-magic field".

Joan remembered that Professor Moriarty once said that among the spells below legend, only "Mage Disintegration" could smash the anti-magic field.

It's a pity that "Mage Disintegration" is a 9-level spell, and even Professor Moriarty hasn't mastered this powerful spell, let alone Joan himself.

While he was thinking hard, the "Ice Statue" had already demolished half of the city wall of Elk Town.

"White Prince" Vignier seemed to think that the purpose of deterrence had been achieved, and ordered the "Ice Colossus" to suspend its attack, retreat to the other side of the river, take root on the spot, and transform into an ice castle.

Shortly thereafter, a white dragon flew up from the tower of the ice castle, and as Vignir's messenger, it proudly landed in front of the just-destroyed city gate.

The white dragon stepped on the ruins, faced the people hiding behind the houses, and issued a proud and cold declaration on behalf of Winterhold.

"When the sun rises tomorrow, Elk Town will be completely destroyed!"

"All the Aesir in the town will not escape punishment, and pay the price for offending Winterhold with their blood and lives!"

"Soldiers from Linyuan Castle, and people from the Volsung family, listen carefully!"

"The conflict between Winterhold and Elk Town has nothing to do with you outsiders!"

"His Royal Highness Vignir showed great mercy and allowed you outsiders to leave Elk Town alive."

"You only have one last night left to escape, or to confess your will, so you can do it yourself!"

After uttering the last sentence of threat, Bailong gave Captain Stone and the Walsong brothers and sisters a cold look, and then he flapped his wings and soared into the air, flying back to his own camp.

The figure of the white dragon gradually faded away, and Joan was still in the air thinking about the way to fight against the "Ice Colossus".

At this time, a small golden whirlwind flew in front of him, and Holden's deep words came from the eye of the wind.

"Joan, the captain asked you to come back as soon as possible to discuss the retreat of the company."

Joan was not surprised by Captain Stone's decision. In fact, it was a very sensible approach, but before that, he still had some doubts.

He retracted his wings, landed in the half-destroyed town, and walked into Elder Hunter's big house.

Captain Stone was sitting in an armchair, frowning hard at his pipe.

Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden also remained silent, looking tired.

A depressing atmosphere enveloped the hall, and Joan was also infected, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

He exhaled slowly, forced himself to cheer up, and strode towards Captain Stone.

Captain Stone looked up at the young mage, and smiled wryly: "Thanks to you sending back the alarm in time, otherwise we might have been shot to death in front of the city gate by the giant statue."

"Mr. Captain, what are you going to do next?"

"What else can we do?" Captain Stone shrugged helplessly, "Just like what the white dragon said, the only thing we outsiders can do is to get out of Elk Town overnight, and nothing will change if we stay here. Just die in vain."

"Mr. Captain, is the fate of Elk Town really irreversible?" Qiao Anxin asked unwillingly.

"I'm afraid it is..." Captain Stone sighed bitterly, "Joan, don't feel too guilty, we have tried our best."

"However, there is one thing I can't figure out. With the terrifying and destructive power of the 'Ice Colossus', not to mention Elk Town, even Linyuan Castle or even Midgard City may not be able to stop its attack. Why can our colonists still attack? What about gaining a firm foothold on the east coast of the New World?"

This question has been lingering in Qiao An's mind since the moment he saw the "Ice Wall Colossus".

Trim is not the only giant lord with a mythical colossus. "Frost giants" have been known for their fierceness and warlike since ancient times. They are by no means a peace-loving nation. How could they sit back and watch the colonists from the old world continue to expand their territories in the New World, and have been forbearing? No?

Take Winterhold as an example, with a super weapon like the "Ice Colossus", why not drive the colonists out of the New World, and then occupy the fertile land on the east coast?

The powerful destructive power displayed by the "Ice Barrier Colossus" when it destroyed the walls of Elk Town today also posed a huge threat to the colonists' towns. Joan couldn't think of any way for the colonists to fight against this mythical colossus.

However, in reality, there was no full-scale war between the giants and the colonists, which is really counterintuitive.

"Joan, you asked a very good question, why didn't Winterhold, which has a mythical colossus, attack our colonists' towns, and even Vignir made a point of letting us go, vaguely revealing his fear of the colonial garrison ? There's a reason for that, of course."

Captain Stone lowered his voice, his face became extremely serious.

"To put it simply, the reason why the giants of the New World and the foreign colonists can maintain a peaceful situation is determined by the strength of both parties."

"You young people may be wondering, how can we humans fight against giants and colossi?"

"In fact, there really are!" Captain Stone's words revealed a hint of pride, "We don't have colossi, but we have cannons!"

"You mean the magic crystal cannon?" Qiao An asked.

"That's right!" Captain Stone nodded heavily, "Midgard, the capital of the colony, and military fortresses such as Linyuan Castle, are all equipped with large-caliber city defense forts with a range of ten miles. If the Colossus tries to attack the city , before you can get close to the city, you will be seriously injured by the fierce firing of the fort, and you will lose your mobility."
