Chapter 323 The Last Marking Point, the Great City of Attucks
The original restraint relationship of the four wonders is a closed loop.
The general restraint relationship is as follows:
To restrain the fire element, you need the [Water Element Orb].
To restrain the natural element, you need the [Fire Element Orb].
To restrain the earth element, you need the [Natural Element Orb].
To restrain the water element, you need the [Earth Element Orb].
And so on.
If outsiders want to intervene, they must use violent means to obtain a certain corresponding material without the help of elemental orbs, and then conquer and solve it step by step.
In other words, the greatest difficulty in cracking these four elemental wonders is to break the cycle first.
Breaking the cycle first and then connecting to the cycle is the best solution for conquering the four elemental wonders of fire, wood, earth, and water.
The first elemental wonder that Chen Xuan entered was the lava lake.
That was the territory of the [violent fire element], and he didn't have the [Water Element Orb] at that time.
The key to breaking the situation lies in the liquid nitrogen that Chen Xuan carries with him.
With this as a breakthrough, Chen Xuan completed the strategy of the four wonders.
And its complementary relationship is also simple and clear.
Now Chen Xuan has collected enough materials from the four wonders.
When he comes to collect in the future, he can greatly reduce the risk by following specific rules.
However, the element wonders are always dangerous.
Even if you master the rules of elemental gems, there are still rules of mutual complementation and mutual restraint.
But unless Chen Xuan takes action personally, if other people handle this matter, there will always be risks.
And this risk cannot be reduced to 0.
So this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
After a little thought, he took a last look at the Silver Lake and led the team away.
In order to collect [Elemental Gem] and [Water Element Essence] from tens of thousands of water elves, he has wasted three or four water clocks here.
Fortunately, the four circular marking points have been explored.
The only unexplored marking point left is the mysterious hexagram area.
Referring to the current location, Chen Xuan has to return and drive a distance in the direction he came from.
Then turn to the right road.
This will be a relatively long journey.
You should know that it took him two or three water clocks to drive here from the exit of the Misty Canyon.
It is estimated that it will take more than two water clocks to drive to the last location.
After exploring the six-pointed star mark point.
The entire Misty Mountains have no secrets for Chen Xuan.
And his intuition tells him that there is the essence of the entire Misty Mountains.
So far, he has gained enough in this exploration trip.
There are a total of eight mark points here.
Among them, the three star mark points are [Dark Gold Mine], [Mithril Mine] and [Mountain Copper Mine].
And the four circle mark points are [Lava Lake], [Willow Forest], [Mud Swamp], [Silver Lake] and other four elemental wonders.
The above seven mark points have made Chen Xuan gain a lot.
Then the last six-pointed star mark point marked as [Extremely Dangerous] by [Insight] has become the top priority of Chen Xuan's expectations.
Of course, here the gains and losses are always proportional.
If you want to get benefits from it, you must first solve the problems that may arise!
But no matter what, Chen Xuan's expectations are greater than his worries.
When you see a mountain, you cut it; when you encounter water, you build a bridge.
When you encounter a problem, you solve it.
He has never been afraid before the battle.
With expectations and determination in his heart, Chen Xuan drove the GAZ half-track truck on the road to the last mark point.
...
Just when Chen Xuan was busy preparing for the two worlds.
The giant city of Attucks was also under intensive construction.
A large number of resources that had been sealed in the city were unsealed.
Countless secret warehouses were opened.
Millions of people were urgently recruited to participate in the construction of the outer defense line of the giant city.
The local adventurer association, mercenary association, and magic association were all temporarily recruited.
Countless adventurers, mercenaries, and spellcasters joined the temporary expansion of the giant city of Attucks under the attraction of high rewards.
This move greatly supplemented the strength of the giant city.
The outer war forts also sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
The natives of the Naroa continent have a sense of preparing for a rainy day.
Before the magic disaster broke out, they often stored a large amount of emergency resources.
Now, with the mobilization order, these resources were quickly put to use.
They were transformed into defensive war forts and fortification lines.
Provided additional bargaining chips for the giant city of Attucks in the next magic disaster.
There were many people coming and going through the several gates of the giant city.
Many people did not disguise themselves at all, but just wore hooded clothes to cover their side faces. This kind of dress is quite common among travelers.
The practicality of the hooded clothes is beyond doubt.
It can block the wind and sand, and can also cover the face to a certain extent.
After passing through many passes from the outer defense line, you can see the tall city wall standing outside the first circle of Attucks in front of you.
This is the most powerful defense line of the giant city of Attucks, and it is also the first wall defense line facing the giant city itself.
Compared to these towers, the walls of Magtan are like children's toys.
The towers of the third ring of the Artax City are hundreds of meters high and generally 20 to 30 meters thick.
The towers are wide enough for four or five carriages to run side by side.
Not only that, a lounge and storage room were built inside the tower.
This is also the origin of the name "tower".
It is both a tower and a wall!
And as the perspective gradually approaches the giant city of Attucks.
Everyone can see the light of runes on the wall flickering rhythmically.
Those are high-level defensive runes and defensive magic circles.
When the battle starts, they can provide additional defense for the tower and the garrison stationed above.
In addition, there are many shooting holes on the tower, with magic cannons and rune crossbows mounted on them.
You must know that this tower will not allow the enemy to attack. It is a thorny dragon turtle.
All enemies who dare to launch an attack will be counterattacked.
When you get closer, this towering wall becomes more magnificent.
Especially when it stretches to other directions, there is a feeling that you can't see the end at a glance.
To be honest, this is the wall that a real territory should have!
If Chen Xuan came here in person, he would definitely sigh in his heart.
Compared with this towering city tower that is 100 meters high, most of the defense lines he has seen seem insignificant.
If you zoom out at this time, you can clearly see the giant city as the center.
Many roads, large or small, radiate in all directions.
It looks like the spokes in a wheel.
There are several main roads corresponding to the city gate entrances in all directions of the city tower.
There are more soldiers stationed there, a lot of them, and they are well matched.
There are all kinds of infantry, cavalry, archers, and spellcasters.
In addition, there are many fourth- and fifth-level detection towers.
This type of detection tower can completely see through the stealth target within a certain range.
As long as the stealth level does not exceed the level of the detection tower, there is a possibility of being seen through.
If you walk into the city gate at this time and pass through the more than 30-meter-long city tower passage, you will officially enter the giant city of Atax.
And all the main roads on the ground in the city are hard roads paved with bluestone.
This stone road is not flat but strong enough to withstand the intensive driving every day.
And this is just the outermost circle of Attucks.
The closer you go to the city center, you will pass through the second circle, the first circle, and the core area!
The buildings in the third circle look similar to those in Bang City.
They are basically two- to three-story stone and wood mixed buildings, with an occasional sentry tower.
In addition, there are extremely high stone towers with a height of three or four hundred meters everywhere in the city.
There are at least hundreds of them, like pillars, inserted in the city.
There are also multiple cables connecting different stone towers.
There are box-like cable cars running on each cable.
"Wow, they actually use cable cars to form a public transportation system for the city!"
Not only that, there are airships of different sizes higher in the sky.
Some small airships can take off and land directly.
As for large airships, they can only land at special airship ports.
Various types of magic shuttles and vehicles are also common.
Compared with the real giant city, Bangcheng is as unbearable as a rural town.
This is the real alien city!
There are many cable car towers nearby.
In fact, this type of cable stone tower occupies a large area. When you get close, you can find that they are more like a skyscraper.
There is a magic hanging basket inside, and the overall structure is similar to an elevator.
If you want to take the cable car, you must first go to the cable car tower.
Then go up to the cable car platform through the hanging basket, and finally wait for the cable car to arrive in the designated direction.
The load-bearing capacity of these things is designed to take into account the weight of the aliens.
All hanging baskets and cables have been strengthened.
With this kind of transportation, the efficiency of traffic in the giant city can be greatly increased.
The most important thing is to facilitate management.
After all, there are many places in the giant city that are not allowed to drive or ride horses.
As for flying, it is even more forbidden.
Except for messengers, air cavalry scouts and those privileged guys.
The giant city of Attucks is banned from flying all year round. Any foreign flying targets entering may be shot down by various defense towers and giant crossbows.
The altitude of 100 to 1200 meters above the ground in the city is a no-fly zone.
Usually, only the city's authorized airships, magic shuttles, dragon eagle troops and a few special air cavalry can be seen wandering around.
Any other unauthorized flying objects and monsters at this altitude will be attacked.
Even the birds approaching the city tower will be shot down.
The city has long had an extremely rigorous process for internal defense.
This set of standards has been implemented for thousands of Naroa years. .
It is said that people become smarter as they grow older, and a city can also become smart if it is old enough.
There are basically no problems in the city of Attucks.
Even if there are, they have been exposed over thousands of years.
It can be said that this city has withstood the test of time, and many problems have long been solved or optimized.
So when coming to the city of Attucks, most people can only choose to take the cable car or walk obediently.
Or drive on limited roads.
However, for many people who come to the city for the first time, taking the cable car is also a novel experience.
Sitting in the cable car and overlooking the city is another kind of scenery.
The cable car charges according to the station, and the distance between the two cable car towers is generally 2~3 crowns.
This price is not cheap.
Because after entering the city from the third circle, you need to transfer 8 times at the cable car tower to reach the second circle.
It feels a bit like transferring buses on Blue Star.
In other words, if you want to take the cable car to the third circle, it will cost at least 20 to 30 kronor.
There are all kinds of people riding the cable car, and it always looks busy and crowded.
But they are like blood vessels that build a new ecology of the giant city.
If you head towards the center along the third circle, you can see the towering city tower of the second circle.
Located on the cable car tower hundreds of meters high, you can vaguely see the edge of the wall of the first circle.
It is worth mentioning that the city tower of the second circle is even taller and more magnificent than the city tower of the third circle.
The exact data of the height of the city tower of the third circle is 125 meters to 135 meters.
The height of different city tower sections is slightly different.
Some are high, some are lower.
The height of the city tower of the second circle is an astonishing 165 meters to 180 meters.
The average thickness has also increased from 35 meters to 50 meters, which is really high and thick!
This is a typical layout of tight inside and loose outside.
This layout shows the class differentiation in the city.
Ordinary people and the poor live in the third circle, and the rich and the small nobles live in the second circle.
The great nobles live in the first circle.
As for the ruling class, they must live in the core area.
Maybe there are many manors in the first circle.
The "simple and unpretentious" life of the nobles on the Naroya continent.
Each person has a luxurious manor.
Compared with the third circle with the largest area.
The first and second circles are like the real core and prosperous areas of the city.
It is also the essence of the giant city of Atax.
The third circle is more like the result of years of population growth and expansion.
After all, most of the giant cities in the human kingdoms of the Endless Continent today have an ancient history of thousands or even tens of thousands of Naroya years.
Under such circumstances, the degree of class solidification can be imagined.
And because of the external factors of the invasion of the demonic disaster.
Both the giant city and the state city have great defensive potential.
Starting with an average of three lines of defense, it is absolutely exaggerated.
In this regard, even the state city of Magtan is no exception.
Not only are the towers of the second circle higher and stronger.
Even the soldiers guarding the city look more elite.
The magic circles and runes arranged are not only more numerous, but also higher in rank.
There are also various rare city defense equipment.
By analogy, the defense level of the towers of the first circle of the giant city of Attucks is definitely more terrifying.
However, when the magic disaster breaks out, the defense pattern should be adjusted.
It is almost inevitable to change from internal defense to external defense.
Otherwise, the giant city of Attucks would not actively build outer battle forts and defense lines.
Only by blocking the defense positions outside the city can the defenders' advantages be maximized.
At this time, in the city hall of this magnificent giant city.
A meeting is being held urgently.
