It was already Luo Ling's sixth night in the fantasy world. The moon had not yet risen, and people from the three parties had already gathered in the open space outside the west gate of the palace city.
"The moon will rise in about 40 minutes. We will act as planned. Is there anyone who still doesn't know their mission?" Shalu asked, his eyes wandering and confirming one by one.
Everyone was silent.
Shalu asked again: "Who has anything to add or needs to ask questions?"
There was silence.
"Okay, let's start the action."
The nine people separated. Galdi took Mashadu and another elite from the Thunder Palace to go north. Wang Duo took his right-hand man, a vampire, and a bear-man to the south. Shalu, Baosi and Luo Ling were left.
, divided into a group, the three of them are the protagonists of the palace tonight, heading due east.
The bright moon rises into the sky, the moonlight falls to the ground like snow, the stars fly down, incarnate into countless mortals, the illusion is activated, and the world is resurrected.
Not long after, there was already a huge crowd outside the palace. All the stars were silent and their footsteps were hurried. The sound of their clothes rubbing together and their footsteps could be heard clearly.
Squeak...bang...the palace doors opened layer by layer, like dominoes being pushed. The sound was harsh at first, as if it scratched people's hearts, and then it became extremely empty with a loud shock, following the door all the way.
The opening fades away, like an echo, giving people a feeling of infinite depth.
Luo Ling and the others were hidden in the shadows of the west wall of the palace city, quietly watching the stars filing in more than a hundred meters away. Whether they were palace maids or men, once these stars entered the palace city, their actions would immediately speed up several times.
Each one of them is like a frame riding on the wind, rustling for hundreds of meters, and like mercury pouring down the ground, flowing smoothly and carefully, even though there are many people, there is no chaos at all, and they disperse and disappear in the huge building complex with extremely high efficiency.
"What are we waiting for?" Luo Ling asked Baosi with "Spiritual Hongqiao".
"Light up." Bao Si can also use spiritual communication skills.
"lamp?"
"Yes, we have discovered in many previous explorations that light is the key to activating the restriction."
"The lamps are lit and the palace is fully prepared, which means there is no possibility of any trickery."
"That's right."
When! The melodious bells spread in the palace city, with the main hall in the center of the palace city as the core, and the green lights spread like ripples in all directions in the city. From a high altitude, it looks like a blooming demon flower.
Almost as soon as the lights reached the edge of the palace building, a bright light rose in the northwest corner of the palace. It was a strong explosion, and the kinetic energy of the explosion caused a strong airflow, enveloping countless people.
The exploded debris formed a ring of burning halo, spreading to the surroundings. Boom! The sound of the explosion was heard, shaking the surroundings like thunder and thunder. Under the cold moonlight, an orange-red cloud was born in the light.
, straight up into the sky.
Before it stopped here, it started again from the other side. A bright light flashed, and the southeast corner of the palace city also exploded with white light. Bright clouds rose into the sky. Even though the palace walls of the palace city were measured in kilometers, you could still clearly see the gorgeous
During the scene, one can still feel the rustling wind that followed due to the agitation of the powerful explosion.
From a high position, Luo Ling saw for the first time how the guards acted when there was something strange somewhere in the palace. Amidst the rapid ringing of the bells, guards rushed out from almost every larger house and palace.
Go up to the roof, and then, the thousands and thousands of stars gathered like hundreds of rivers in the sea, flowing over the eaves, walking over the walls, passing through the house and crossing the ridge. Under the silver moonlight, they first covered the palace city like dark clouds, and then the clouds rolled and surged.
Go, see that huge crowd of people. Even a calm person like Luo Ling can't help but feel agitated and secretly marvel at the sight of it. What's even more rare is that these guards advance and retreat in a controlled manner and have strict laws. They haven't arrived at the place where the incident occurred.
, a strict and organized queue has been formed.
After watching this scene, Luo Ling was shocked and felt a little bit cheated. The complex structure of this palace had no impact on the stars at all. It was purely a trap for intruders, no matter where they were.
, the Star Guards can form an iron barrel-like circle surrounding the intruder within ten minutes at most.
What makes Luo Ling even more resentful is that there are no such 'key areas' as he originally imagined, such as the cavalry camp, the armored camp, the archer camp, etc. Every building can allow Starmen to complete their disguises as long as necessary.
, that is to say, aside from the primary target, there are no secondary targets worth destroying in the palace.
Boom! Boom! A powerful explosion sounded again. The northwest, southeast, Galdi and Wang Duo groups were destroying the overall barrier system of Miyagi and at the same time attracting Miyagi's combat effectiveness as much as possible so that Luo Ling's group could
You can encounter less obstacles when breaking in.
There were once again star guards gathering in the palace, including black cranes in the sky, tigers in heavy cavalry, and a kind of swordsman with two swords that almost covered his upper body. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, the guards sent by Miyagi were obviously stronger than the others.
One batch, and compared with the improvement in quality, the reduction in quantity is very limited.
"About 30%." Luo Ling thought to himself. Through these few days of observation, he had a rough estimate of the total number of souls that appeared every night. At least one hundred thousand soldiers were hiding in the palace city. Because the palace city
The palace is continuous and covers an extremely large area. There are so many star people living inside that there is no mountain or water. And the two dispatches just now numbered about 30,000.
Not far from Luo Ling, Shalu, who had been closing his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his moon pupils, raised his paw to point at the main hall, the most majestic among the buildings, and then started to absorb the high-hanging palace wall from the side.
Ejected upward.
Luo Ling and Bao Si naturally knew what Shalu meant. It was already difficult for Wang Duo and Galdi to attract more palace guards to join the two battle circles. The rest could only rely on them.
The three of them are all top-notch powerhouses, and they all know that hiding an extra bit of strength now will probably cost them a huge amount of energy later. In a situation where every bit of energy is extremely precious, doing so is undoubtedly very unwise.
Therefore, he ran almost at full speed, as fast as lightning, and behind him was a string of dispersing phantoms, which looked like ghosts.
At this speed, it only takes a few breaths to cover a distance of several kilometers. The three of them broke into the inner city, and a new alarm bell sounded in the palace city.
The inner city palace wall is not high, only 3.5 meters. But there is a five-meter-wide moat surrounding the city. During the day, it is crystallized like glass rock, and at night it turns into a thick and bubbling liquid like chocolate latte, and the smell is unbearable.
Just by smelling it, just by looking at it, I knew there was something seriously wrong with this liquid.
The two hundred meters outside the moat are squares paved with bluestones. It is extremely difficult for anyone to enter the inner city through this distance without being discovered by the guards on the city wall. What's more, the people standing on the city are all wearing the same color.
It is an archer with three faces and six arms (note, not three heads).
Different from the bow generals in the turret of Miyagi City, each of these archers looks like they have just been pulled up from the ink vat. The black is pure and reflective. The only color is the long bow string in the hand and the barrel of feathers and arrows behind the back. The bow string is like crystal silk.
It was as clear and bright as ever, and the arrows were shining with golden light, making the quiver look like it was spitting flames from a distance.
As if they had known that Luo Ling and the others were coming, black archers were lined up on the inner city wall, less than 30 centimeters apart from each other. There were almost a hundred people lined up on the 100-meter city wall. As soon as Luo Ling and the others approached, they set up their bows.
Loading the arrows, they started shooting. The biggest feature of these archers is that they have three hands that take turns to shoot. Not only do they have a high shooting speed, but they also have good durability. For a while, the golden arrows were like a pouring rain, set off by the bright moonlight, and they were so dazzling.
People's eyes are blurred.
Facing the rain of golden arrows that were far more powerful than sniper rifle bullets, Luo Ling and the others had no intention of stopping to resist. The first one to jump up was Shalu. While jumping, he spread his hands.
The crystal blue ice dust flew away, and inside the dust there was a thin layer of ice wall like frost flowers. It was this ice wall that actually blocked the rushing golden arrow, preventing it from advancing even an inch further.
The ice wall in front met the arrow, golden light splashed, and Bao Si's figure appeared from behind. She was also charging forward, and she was nearly one person taller than Sharu in the second position. She waved her arms, and dozens of lightning needles flew out.
, each one has a lightning bolt as thin as a toothpick behind it, which looks very much like a miniature version of forked lightning.
Unlike forked lightning, these lightning needles have no warning before being thrown. Moreover, the lightning needles themselves are small and their speed is not comparable to that of forked lightning. As for the power... Luo Ling's evaluation is that one lightning rod is equivalent to a dozen.
The grenade bundle explodes.
The black archers lined up in a dense formation, and their reactions were a bit slow. They were obviously a little unprepared for Luo Ling and the other three's charging style without stopping for a moment, heading forward under the rain of golden arrows. Dozens of lightning needles actually hit them all. Crack! A row.
Thunderballs with incandescent edges glowing with blue-purple light exploded and connected in series, forming a horizontal line of dazzling lightning on the palace wall. The explosion of the thunderballs caused the chests of dozens of black archers to bloom, and the light of lightning almost completely obscured their figures.
submerged.
At the same time, the third Luo Ling appeared in the sky higher than Baosi. He released blood spots, scattering them in batches like mud. According to Shalu and Baosi, the inner city
Each of the star guards has amazing resilience and is difficult to kill unless it is bombarded. Bao Si's thunder needle may not be able to kill the black archer, but Luo Ling's blood spots can kill him as long as there is a wound.
The black archer has the characteristic of chewing it into dregs. The black archer was blown up and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. After being eaten by the blood spots, he died without a chance to survive.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Shalu, Bao Si, and Luo Ling, with a series of smooth and tacit cooperation, passed through the golden arrow rain net without slowing down and rushed into the inner city. When the remaining black on the wall of the inner city palace,
The archer turned around and fired again. The three of them were already 200 meters away. All that was left was the blood spots from the black archers who had sucked them to death. They formed a ribbon of light like satin and flew after Luo Ling.
Bang, bang, bang! There were three small sounds in succession. This was the sound made by Luo Ling and the other two people tapping their toes on the ridge of the roof and using their strength to jump forward.
Hululu! Their clothes were swirling in the wind. Hundreds of stars in wide robes and long sleeves flew up to the room and up the wall, encircling and suppressing them from all sides. Under the moonlight, they all moved vigorously, like eagles and harriers.
The swordsmith holds a palm-width, five-foot-long, ancient-colored sword. His hair is tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin. His face is green and his eyes are as bright as candles, making him look like a sorcerer transformed from a corpse.
Luo Ling glanced over and immediately had an idea of the combat power of these new interceptors. It can be said that the strength of these stars is not weaker than the swordsmen guarding the corner towers of the palace city. He knows that the real battle
