Chapter 229: Giant City "Reinforcements", Petrified Dragon in the Canyon

Chapter 229: Giant City "Reinforcements", Petrified Dragon Beast in the Canyon [Subscribe]

After many teleportations and twists and turns.

The reinforcements sent by Atax Giant City have set out from the Black Leaf Outpost Giant City-level teleportation point more than ten water clock hours ago.

This team is mainly composed of the Third and Sixth Garrison Corps, and the Bauhinia Knights carrying a fifth-level magic cannon, with good combat capabilities.

According to the itinerary plan, it will take at least two to three Naroya days to reach Magtan City.

At the same time, from the giant city to Magtan City, Brindisi Swamp City, Dark Sunset City, Mountain Wolf Fort, Sauron Town and other state cities will form a coalition to support with the giant city garrison team.

Their strategic intention is not to really assist Magtan City and save it from danger.

It is to destroy and clear the void channel that appeared there.

Taking advantage of the fact that the channel has not been formed for a long time, it has not yet accumulated millions of monsters.

Use high-level magic cannon to destroy it in one fell swoop.

Like the caves, the void channel has various restrictions on the arrival of monsters.

Take the medium-sized void transmission channel as an example.

A large-scale monster can descend once every several Naroya days.

According to the level of the descending monster, the number is about 100,000.

And within the range of the void transmission channel here, the maximum number of monsters that can be accumulated is no more than one million.

Therefore, the natives of Naroya use the threat of millions of monsters as a threshold.

It is precisely because of this rule that the number of monsters that descend is always limited.

On weekdays, the two sides fight each other, there are casualties, and there are also descends, which can basically maintain a rough consumption and balance.

But when the magic disaster breaks out, the number of void channels and caves of various levels that appear in various places will surge.

This will greatly increase the total number of monsters that descend.

In short, the void channel is a faucet, but the amount of water released has a constant upper limit standard.

Under such a premise, the giant city of Atax is not considering saving the city of Magtanbang.

Compared to the loss of a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of lives, the task of destroying the void passage is more important.

If it is allowed to exist, this place will become one of the sources of troops for the monsters in the giant city.

With a limit of one million monsters, it can be replenished in the next advent cycle after consumption.

As time goes by, the trouble it causes will become more and more serious.

Half a water clock after leaving the Zerekan female warrior YaLS Tier.

The vanguard dragon eagle team rushed to the outskirts of Magtan City.

They looked at the dark mandala light curtain that looked like an inverted bowl, and quickly took out a crystal to record it in all directions.

Then they returned non-stop in the direction they came from.

The intelligence here will be reported to the support troops who are on the trek.

Then the chief officer of the team will decide whether to report it to the giant city.

The existence of the light curtain proves that the void transmission channel has not been destroyed, and the threat of demonic disasters here still exists.

It is a distance of six or seven thousand kilometers from the giant city of Atax to the city of Magtan.

There are two megacity-level teleportation points in this direction.

This type of teleportation node is suitable for teams with more than 10,000 people to be transported at a time.

Each activation consumes a lot of magic cores and time.

The cost is more than 100,000 crowns, and a single transmission needs to be preheated for about half a water clock.

For large-scale transmission, this cost is acceptable.

However, it is almost impossible for a small team to use this type of teleportation array unless there is an urgent task.

Even so, the rest of the journey still has to be completed by the traditional line marching method.

Therefore, it is not easy to pass the news here back to the megacity.

Whether it is a high-level messenger raven or a messenger riding a dragon eagle, it takes a certain amount of time to return to the megacity of Atax.

The flying speed of a high-level raven is about 120 kilometers per hour.

After flying for four to six water clocks in a row, it is necessary to rest for two water clocks.

There is a high probability of losing contact when flying over long distances.

For example, encountering raptor monsters along the way, or mistakenly entering a certain area of ​​chaotic magic.

After all, the raven's way of leading the way depends entirely on the induction of magic in a specific area.

Therefore, at a certain distance scale, the raven is not suitable for transmission.

At present, this team mainly relies on the dragon eagle messenger to transmit messages to the giant city.

The flying speed of the third-level dragon eagle beast can reach 300 kilometers per hour.

Every time it flies for two water clocks in a row, it must rest for one water clock and replenish enough meat and water.

In this case, it takes at least more than ten water clocks to complete a one-way transmission.

This is the information lag between the two places.

Of course, there are more efficient transmission methods in the giant city.

For example, the "Book of Co-Writing".

This is a magic book with an entanglement effect.

It is divided into a main book and a branch book.

It is huge and bloated, and needs to be enshrined in a special induction magic circle.

Generally speaking, the branch books are placed in important passes and towns in various places within the jurisdiction of the giant city.

As long as you write on the branch book, the relevant content will appear on the main book in the giant city at the same time.

This communication method can achieve real "instant communication".

But it cannot be carried with the army.

However, the problem of mobile long-distance communication is not completely unsolvable.

In the rich and huge cities near the center of the kingdom, many cities have built [Crystal Communication Towers].

This is a new technology developed by the Alchemy Association.

It uses the characteristics of magic connection to achieve instant communication.

The communication crystals branded with connection runes can use the communication tower as a node to call other communication crystals.

This technology sounds a bit like mobile communication, but it has not yet been popularized in the giant city of Attucks.

The vanguard dragon eagle team did not dare to waste a minute and returned with the latest observation information.

…

At the same time.

Chen Xuan rode a griffin to the Misty Canyon.

Below him was a mopping-up team of more than 10,000 people.

In the middle of the team, there were dozens of wind mages who continued to cast spells.

A wave of air surged, forcibly blowing away the dense white fog that was lingering in front.

Although the dense fog that was blown away would always be quickly restored, it could also open up enough safe vision for the team to move forward.

The mopping-up team was like a piece of heavy black iron stuck in cotton, gradually going deeper and gradually disappearing in the fog.

After entering the forest outside the Misty Canyon, you can often see scattered monster corpses.

Most of them were killed with a clean and sharp knife.

Even the magic core at the back of the neck was not taken away.

Chen Xuan rode on a griffin, sometimes swooping down to the ground, and sometimes soaring into the air to observe the situation.

He knew who killed these monsters.

Before the mopping-up team arrived, only the female warrior Satir of Zerekan had been here.

This made the mopping-up team encounter no trouble along the way.

Even if there were occasional scattered monsters rushing out from nearby, they could be quickly dealt with.

When the main force of the monsters was annihilated, the monsters roaming outside the city no longer had a numerical advantage.

Just like this, everyone reached the edge of the Misty Canyon within half a water clock.

For this "dog-ignoring" area not far from the periphery of Magtan City.

Normally, dogs really wouldn't come here.

Many people saw this strange place for the first time.

The canyon is located between two mountains. It is not an ordinary low-lying valley between mountains.

It is like a complete mountain split in the middle.

The canyon itself is a gap in the mountain wall.

The large fog covering this area also emanates from this mountain.

Its entrance is extremely spacious, about a hundred meters wide.

The rock base is also relatively flat, and can even barely allow heavy cavalry to pass through.

The canyon is also covered by thick fog.

It looks particularly deep in the dim light.

Chen Xuan did not rush in, but stood outside the canyon and waved his arms.

"Casters, get ready!"

"All gusts of wind, cast a matrix spell on the canyon."

His voice echoed outside the canyon, with the echo of the rock wall.

The casters below had already taken [Magic Drink] in advance to quickly restore their magic reserves.

Under Chen Xuan's command, they cast spells in groups of four.

The spell models of the wind gusts took shape at the mouth of the canyon.

Then they turned into turbulent airflows and rushed towards the inside.

Four wind gusts can blow forward a distance of about 100 meters.

The continuous casting of spells quickly dispelled the fog within a range of 300 to 400 meters in the canyon.

After the white fog dissipated, you can see a group of petrified figures standing in front of you, like statues, densely packed with hundreds of them.

These figures are very tall, with curved legs and sharp claws.

They maintain an independent posture, but everyone knows that these guys are definitely not human.

When the fog in the range was blown away, the remaining wind spirit element magic swept across the ground of the canyon.

These "statues" suddenly trembled.

The soil covering the surface of the body fell "rustling".

The next moment, pairs of red eyes like light bulbs lit up in the canyon.

It's really a monster!

Chen Xuan rode on the back of the griffin and took out a dozen small mercury bombs and threw them into the canyon.

At the same time, the clearing team in the rear immediately prepared countermeasures.

The shield warriors in the front row held up several small magic shields.

"Bang bang bang..."

Accompanied by the explosion of mercury bombs.

These "statues" have completed the process of resurrection.

They have heads similar to dragons and anti-jointed limbs.

There are also sharp bone spurs on the elbows, heels, and shoulders.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. Through previous reading, he quickly knew the identity of these monsters.

All the monsters in the canyon are third-level petrified dragon beasts.

Also known as dragon puppet soldiers.

This is a relatively special monster with some characteristics of gargoyles.

Rather than saying that they are monsters, it is better to say that they are a high-level puppet.

They can enter the petrified state on weekdays, and will quickly revive to meet the enemy when stimulated.

The body of a third-level monster is required to create a petrified dragon beast.

A special dragonization ritual is applied.

Moreover, these petrified dragon beasts can devour magic cores as a source of chaotic magic.

They cannot upgrade themselves, nor can they move freely.

They can usually only stay near the dragon transformation ceremony.

Hundreds of petrified dragon beasts in the canyon revived almost at the same time.

Their strong legs make them like running mantises, running and jumping with extraordinary agility.

More than a dozen mercury bombs created a loose isolation zone in the canyon.

These guys didn't seem to have high IQs. They didn't try to dodge at all. They just rushed straight and fast, passing through the isolation zone constructed by mercury vapor.

This covered the surface of these petrified dragon beasts that were running as fast as the wind with a layer of gray-white mist.

Chen Xuan frowned. He found that the magic tears had little effect on these dragon puppet soldiers.

Strictly speaking, dragon puppet soldiers are dead things, similar to the magic puppets developed by the Naroa Alchemy Association.

Its power comes from the magic core, which is chaotic magic.

However, there is not much magic on its body surface. Unlike the original monsters, the flesh and bones contain rich chaotic magic, and the erosion effect is particularly obvious when encountering magic tears.

The distance of three or four hundred meters is almost fleeting.

The petrified dragon beast rushed wildly towards the clearing team outside the canyon.

Then it hit the small magic shield at the forefront fiercely.

"Bang bang!"

The clear collision sound echoed inside and outside the canyon.

There are many kinds of dragon puppet soldiers, all of which have the characteristics of being fearless and fearless.

They retain the rigid and firm execution of puppets, and also have the savagery of monsters.

When the claws are swung, the chaotic magic will condense into sharp blade light, stirring up layers of ripples on the magic shield.

The clearing team has the advantage of numbers, and when these petrified dragon beasts approach, the counterattack has been launched synchronously.

All kinds of attacks are coming at them.

The battle situation became very intense in just an instant.

Chen Xuan did not continue to waste mercury.

According to his observation, when dealing with dragon puppet soldiers, the effect of magic tears is only one-fifth or one-sixth of that when dealing with ordinary monsters. It cannot be said that there is no effect, but the effect is not satisfactory.

He took out two M2 heavy machine guns, used the flying griffin as a platform, and fired wildly at the bottom.

Facing the petrified dragon beasts at the level of third-level monsters, the .50 caliber bullets fired by the M2 heavy machine guns are enough to break the defense.

Anyway, this wave of advantage is on our side, Chen Xuan only needs to act as a wingman.

The fired bullets formed two intermittent light chains that swept towards the petrified dragon beasts.

Each shot could explode a small "flower" formed by the chaotic magic power on the surface of the dragon beast.

If the fired bullets hit the nearby rocky ground, orange sparks would burst out.

With everyone attacking together, it only took four or five minutes before and after, and hundreds of petrified dragon beasts were smashed into pieces.

There are many magic cores in the remains of these dragon puppet soldiers.

They are all swallowed and stored in the body in advance.

In addition, there is also the "magic rune tooth", a special output.

The appearance of the magic rune tooth is similar to a fang as long as a finger.

The surface is covered with dense magic runes.

This thing can be used as a material for making a linked magic puppet.

The so-called linked magic puppet is a magic puppet that can be remotely controlled by mental power.

In the central giant city, each of the third-level magic rune teeth can be sold at a high price of at least 1,800 crowns.

It is equivalent to the price of three magic tears.

It is also an extra gain, worth storing and studying.
