At about 11 a.m. on May 23, the Star 745 convoy arrived at Beipuo in Refuge Valley Town.
The North Fort is the outer gateway of Shelter Valley Town. Its nature is somewhat similar to the Four-leaf Fort. It lies across the road, with cliffs and deep valleys on both sides. The city wall of the North Fort is built against the cliff. Its overall shape is like a side blade.
The concave spear head and its bridgehead-like portal are naturally just the spear tip, but its span from east to west is 300 meters. It has high walls and thick fortresses. For those who don’t know, they might think it is the north gate of Refuge Valley Town.
The current situation is chaotic, and the interrogations are correspondingly stricter. Not only are there ordinary spot checks, but there are also wizards leading three or two apprentices to play with instruments and conduct dark detection on passers-by and people entering the city. Although this will inevitably lead to
Unjustly accusing some people, such as Neo, whose own power attribute is darkness, but in fact he is incompatible with the devil and the devil. But in this extraordinary period, the orders given above are to kill people by mistake, and will not let them go. Once suspicious is found, the final
This time I was invited to a special place for tea. There were more advanced mages sitting there, and they cooperated with a variety of tests, so they would not make the same mistake again and again.
It was very easy for Neo to pass the test. It was not because of the reputation of the Sky Temple, but because his "flesh and blood armor" was filled with a high concentration of blood energy. The simple tools here at the city gate could not penetrate this layer of protection, so he was able to
successfully passed
After passing the North Fort, it felt like we had entered a large construction site from a distance. A large number of people were building walls in an organized way along the outer edge of the North Fort. They replaced the original wooden fences and stone railings with the solid stone walls they used.
The materials are stones, bricks, and clay. It can be said that all earth products are used. If it is difficult to fix, wooden molds are used to stabilize it. The walls piled up in this way are naturally rough and not strong enough. However, there are deep earth masters.
The magic of turning mud into stone can repair leaks, and it is very strong after being integrated into one body. Of course, for such a huge and time-consuming project, the granite body cannot be counted on, but the sandstone is still guaranteed. Neo estimates that almost everyone wants to do this.
General mobilization, I'm afraid it will take just one week for the entire perimeter barrier to be completed
Compared with the city wall, what worries Neo more is the arcane towers built behind the rock barrier. Different from the multi-functionality of the mage tower, the arcane towers are used for combat, and all the built-in techniques are fixed by templates.
Ice arrows, fireballs, thunder and lightning are just some simple energy-based spells, but they are more powerful than the same spells that a level 15 magician can use with all their strength, and the driver only needs a level 2 or above magician.
Of course, a low level means that the quality and quantity of mental power are poor. Therefore, if the level 2 mage tower cannot cast a few spells, he has to be replaced. But after all, it greatly reduces the usage restrictions and power. There is no need for low-level mage in this world.
There are too many, and even spells such as sea waves, deep earth, molten fire, and wind-calling can be used to fight. Once the battle begins, the lethality generated by these arcane towers will definitely not be compared with the total combat power at the front of the city wall.
difference
Neo is not too knowledgeable about spells now. He knows that the emergence of arcane towers means that spellcasters, who have always been focused on research and practice, are fully involved in the war. This is not only because the arcane towers are both constructed and controlled.
It is inseparable from a large number of spellcasters, and because their appearance will affect the elemental energy content of the area. On the premise of ensuring energy stability, the elemental energy that each area can absorb per unit time is limited, and the arcane tower needs to reserve
Energy, then the income of the element pool of the Mage Tower will naturally decrease, and the motivation will be insufficient. The research projects of the spell casters will also be reduced. Once they are liberated from research and practice, the spell casters will naturally enter the secular world and no longer be
There were three or two kittens from the past jumping around there.
"The chord of war has finally been touched..."
The fall of Adala finally made the upper echelons of Sylphanis make up their minds. They no longer expect to completely solve the problem with the few troops they have in peacetime. They no longer want to transform the social model in a step-by-step and orderly manner. They no longer care about speed.
The huge economic losses caused by the transformation, or in other words, after calculation, they chose to bear this loss instead of letting the foundation of the root system be destroyed piece by piece from the outside.
The fall of Edara put Sylphanes on the track of war. Neo didn't know which land similar things happened in, but he knew that from a racial perspective, as the ruler of the continent of Emera
, the human race itself is the most ferocious beast in history. When it unleashes its anger, the whole world will tremble.
"Ready...to cum!"
Bang bang bang...
"Step...stab!"
"kill!"
Just outside the town of Refuge Valley, Neo saw a large number of armed militiamen. They were undergoing adaptive training. They already had a good foundation. It only took half a month for most of them to become qualified soldiers.
"Ah...oh..." A shrill scream came from an open space. People were hanged, burned, and beheaded. Those who were identified as degenerates, or were found to be suspected of being dark cultists, were executed in batches. Of course, here
There are wronged people, but when those in power make up their minds, what does it matter to have a reputation as a butcher? Whoever dares to surrender to the enemy, whoever dares to move closer to the darkness, kill! The atmosphere of war begins with this cruel internal purge that makes everyone
deeply felt
What Neo didn't know was that as the war machine started, a series of measures were released throughout Sylphanis.
National identity inspection, all residents must replace new magic identification nameplates within the specified period
There is a city-wide curfew. Anyone who dares to be active on the streets after 21 o'clock will be arrested or even shot directly. Even nobles who are not responsible for military-related work will be questioned and signed records will be left.
Asset reporting, followed by war donations, including the level of protection enjoyed, are all linked. Because there are a series of complete and fair supervision measures, it is difficult to deceive the superiors and hide the lows, and enrich one's own pockets.
…
"Wow, it feels like the town of Refuge Valley has turned into a military camp! It's really exciting!" Zanjin, Varug, Kokar, including Neo, and Canito can only be regarded as country people. The situation in front of us is indeed very serious.
open their eyes
In such a strong atmosphere of preparations for war, everyone felt a little nervous. Without delay, Neo and his party went straight to the office outside the town and reported to their direct superior, Renault.
Everything next was handled in accordance with standard military operations, fast and effective. In less than an hour, 10 giant trucks pulled by giant rhinos were handed over to Star 745. The wheels of these trucks alone reached 2.5 meters.
It is 7 meters wide and 12 meters long, and is equipped with a magic circle at the bottom. If you encounter some road sections that are not suitable for passing, the truck can be levitated in a short time. As long as the giant rhinoceros can pass, the car can pass.
Among these vehicles, one is extremely special. Its solid and thick all-metal shell is not only used for protection, but also builds a folding space inside, making the actual use volume inside reach that of an ordinary giant truck.
Nearly three times the volume, this car is carrying whole boxes of elemental energy crystals and some magic equipment. The material value of this car is 10 times the total material value of other vehicles.
Since it is an escort, not an escort, there are naturally others. The 11 magic circle mages are the ones who will be escorted this time.
The magic circle mage is the kind of person who if you don't let him complete the spell, otherwise you will most likely die. A certain city will be completely wiped out, a certain mountain will be completely leveled, and so on. These are all magic circle mages.
It is by relying on this terrifying power that human beings have broken countless hard-to-gnaw bones. When the time comes, no matter how impregnable you are, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you will immediately collapse and disintegrate.
Also performing the escort mission were five spellcasters from the Mages Guild. They also joined as a tactical team, led by a 30-year-old veteran. The others all looked young. It was understood that they
They are all formal battle mages who have gone through more than two actual combat trials, but in Neo's eyes, they are just a bunch of rookies, including the so-called veterans who are just average.
However, the skills mastered by this group of people can form a strong complement to Star 745. Obviously, the superiors also took this into consideration when assigning tasks. This is quite satisfactory to Neo. Of course, the most important thing is that he is the leader. If
No, Neo will not easily agree to this escort. After all, everyone knows what kind of enemies they may face.
"The team will set off immediately. We will arrive at Fangyan Station to camp before dark." It was noon. Neo didn't let everyone rest at all and set off directly.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry? Although the giant rhinoceros is not fast enough, it can still walk out at more than 20 kilometers per hour. Fangyanyi is more than 100 kilometers away from here. We can get there before dawn. It's already summer, and the days are still long!" The casting team
One of the members, Hess, muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.
"There are many bumps on the road, and our convoy is full of giant trucks. We have more time to deal with various emergencies. Be careful not to make big mistakes. Sacrificing a lunch time is not a big deal. If you are delayed by something,
It's stuck in an unfavorable location. What a disaster if it were me, I would have arranged it like this!" The person who spoke was Green, the leader of the spell casting group. This mature man who seemed to have some intellectual charm was a water healing mage with a gentle personality.
Generosity, it is precisely because of this kind of temperament that the relationship between the members of this tactical team is a bit like brothers and sisters in a family, and it is very harmonious.
Dong Dong Dong! The giant rhinoceros stepped forward like a drum, and the ground shook. Such a convoy could only move in a single file. Adding the head and tail of the Star 745 convoy, it actually dragged a 300-meter-long road.
For a team of many meters, even in daytime when visibility is good, it is difficult to look at each other from head to tail.
During this escort, it was the first time for Neo to meet the beast taming mage. His name only has one sound, Ni. He has fresh green hair and delicate and fair skin. If you don't look at the ears, he is comparable to those of the elves. He has the same figure.
Slender and thin, slightly thin, but generally do not have the temperament of the elves who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. This is a typical forest person.
There are very few records about the Forest People, and Neo doesn't know much about them either. He only knows that most of this tribe are born with the ability to communicate with plants and animals, and the Forest People they meet in the secular world are often engaged in the communication with plants and animals.

With the beast taming mage, she can control 10 giant rhinos alone. Neo saw that Ni communicated and controlled these multi-ton giants through the magic collar on the neck of the giant rhino, and she also carried
There are more than 40 savage dogs, one with strong muscles, just like a smaller version of a beef cow. It is said that the savage dog is the basic beast of the beast taming mage, but in the hands of a master-level beast taming mage, this kind of savage dog can have combat power comparable to that of an abyss-level one.
It's comparable to Warcraft. Neo doesn't know if it's true or not, but as a potion master, he can see some clues from the subtleties. That is, these barbarian dogs are all drugged, and their birth-inducing principle seems to be similar to his.
The sacrifice of flesh and blood armor has some similarities
In addition to Ni, who was cheering and hugging each other, the other person I met for the first time was the spirit mage.
Necromancers have not been accepted by the world until now. Many people call them cemetery mages, and some simply confuse them with necromancers. In fact, they are indeed spellcasters and shamans who control souls to fight.
Different from animism, spiritual mages only believe that only intelligent beings have souls, so the spirits they control are generally human spirits, monster spirits, and special spirits (dragon, phoenix, etc.).
The spiritual mage accompanying the team this time is called Elan, a woman with a very neutral appearance. Her attire does not look like a mage in the ordinary sense, but more like a tribal wizard. There are many books full of spells wrapped around her body.
The bandages and wooden charms look gaudy and piecemeal. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the weavers of those bandages are very delicate. They are not the kind where you just find a piece of linen and cut it casually without marking the edges.
Moreover, the wooden talismans are also quite refined, with more than a hundred different shapes, none of which are completely similar.
Ellan was also cheering for her, and there were six spirits following her. They were called more professionally. These six spirits were called feather guards. They were all 'wearing' clothes made of feathers.
Floating, or simply flying, the Feather Guards are very fast. When the convoy is moving, they often swim around and act as eyes and ears, which saves Neo from sending the Falcon Heather to conduct secret reconnaissance.
Another Isaac (black) man named Babo is also quite interesting. He is a fire mage. The biggest feature of the fire mage is that all spells rely on magical fire. This fire is first of all natural fire.
It has to be an open flame, and it must be closely related to magic, so the flame mage often carries a special magic lamp. No matter day or night, whether it is used or not, this is his magic weapon.
Neo also thinks that the magical lamp that looks like a horseshoe lamp is very interesting, because even in the daytime, it can give people the feeling that the surroundings are illuminated.
The remaining two members of the caster team, except for the captain Green, who is a fairly senior water healer, the young man named Hess is an earth mage. Only one of his arms and half of his face have been transformed into demonic rocks.
His hair is already in the state of stone thorns, which shows how closely this guy is compatible with the earth element. He is the one with the worst mage temperament among the five. He looks like a demon-earth warrior, looking rough and savage.
In Emerald, the mage system alone is full of tricks. Look at the caster tactical team in front of you. Green can barely be regarded as a traditional mage. Others are a little weird, but when it comes to potential, they all have it.
The value of digging deeply is precisely because of this, Neo decisively gave up these awesome "branches and leaves". It was too dazzling, and the manpower was sometimes poor, and it was impossible to learn Emerald Magic. Scholar, such a title was also
It is suitable for those guys with long longevity.
The convoy was marching under the sun, and June was about to enter. The scorching summer in Hilfanis had begun to show its signs. The white light made people feel dizzy and unconsciously felt thirsty.
This is the time of day when you are least harassed by monsters. The premise is that dark miscellaneous fish
Hey! A line of black smoke jumped into the sky from the valley more than 200 meters away, and then hung in the air with a wing-spreading movement. Then a large amount of black light began to gather there.
"Black magic!" Green, who was resting on a specially built roof of a truck, just glanced at it and knew that the other party was performing a powerful technique.
With a thought from Elan, the Yuwei quickly flew towards the black smoke. They did not attack directly, but formed a line between Elan and the black smoke. Elan had a technique called 'Feather Flicker', which allowed her to
Hagoromo moves instantaneously controlled by spirit. As long as 6 Hagoromo are in place, they can move directly up to 600 meters away.
"Wait a minute!" Green interrupted: "When launching an attack under such circumstances, the enemy is prepared and there is not much time to terminate its spell. We need a powerful attack, one hit."
When Green said this, Elan realized that she was indeed reckless. The opponent was in the air, and she flashed past. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to release any powerful spells. If she was successfully blocked by the opponent's spell shield,
, or there are some traps below. It will be even more difficult to organize a powerful attack.
"Ni, the lion is running!" Next to Green, Hess roared and then
