Sword of Dawn

"It seems that the situation on the side of the Silver Elves has improved. At least they have regained control of the Great Wall... But what happened to the south..." Gawain frowned, and couldn't help pressing his hands on the table, "Now Still can't contact the Silver Empire?"

"I can't get in touch," answered Hetty who was sitting on the side. "Since there was a problem with the Sentinel Tower, our communication with the entire southern part of the continent has been completely cut off. The communication function of the Sentinel data link has not been restarted with the barrier." And restore."

She paused at this point, and then said: "But the smooth restart of the barrier is at least a good sign, which shows that the situation on the side of the Silver Empire has not completely lost control, and they are still trying to save the situation."

Gawain was noncommittal, but looked up at Philip after a moment of contemplation: "Where is Typhon? How is the situation?"

"We have resumed contact with Typhon, and the situation on the Eastern Front has gradually stabilized. Their Magician Corps and National Knights are gradually regaining the previously lost positions," Philip nodded, "Of course, their side The loss was greater than ours. Although the barriers in front of them did not completely collapse, a main army of deformed bodies penetrated into the southern section of Typhon's line of defense... General Andersa didn't go into details, but I think it should have caused a lot of damage. Loss."

"At least they stabilized the line of defense," Gawain exhaled softly, then he looked at Heidi, his expression sank, and his tone was more serious than before, "How is the situation on the western front?"

"...Except for the moss forest area that is not directly bordering the wasteland, we have completely lost contact with the entire Ogure tribal country, and the current situation on the western front is unknown," Heidi hesitated for less than a second. His face became a little ugly, "The energy shock when the Great Wall went out swept across the western region, causing a communication cutoff that was more serious than other regions. Ms. Wenna in the moss forest contacted us and said that she also lost and domestic Connections in other regions, so technical experts estimate that even the communication network within Ogure may not be spared... Ancestor, we can only speculate on the current situation on the Western Front in the worst case."

The atmosphere in the room quickly became oppressive and gloomy. Even Amber, who was standing next to Gao Wen, had a tense expression at the moment. Although no one spoke for a while, everyone knew very well... Big trouble.

In this "counterattack on the wasteland" operation, the Ogure tribal country was not the planned main front from the very beginning. It was a country with many mountains and rivers, a loose population and administrative structure, and a natural barrier from the wasteland. Although there are fierce and warlike races like the orcs, the overall military strength of the tribal country is not strong. All along, they have relied on the natural mountains on the east side of the tribal country to block them from wandering occasionally from the wasteland. The monsters and pollution that come out, coupled with the late start of its industry and poor foundation, this country does not have the ability to advance into the wasteland - in this operation, their main task is to prevent the Just a small army of monsters.

No one thought that the sudden extinction of the majestic wall would turn all the frontiers of the civilized world into frontal battlefields, and no one could have imagined that the energy radiation erupting when the majestic wall was extinguished would concentrate on the west side of the continent.

"Why are you attacking towards the west..." In a quiet room, Rebecca's muttering sounded suddenly. That whispered, "The wall of grandeur is completely extinguished, and it stands to reason that the escaping energy will also spread evenly around. Could it be that there is something in the west that attracts such a large-scale energy field..."

"This is not the point now, the point is that we need to find out the situation on the western front as soon as possible," Gawain shook his head lightly, "The mountains on the western front can hinder the actions of the Aberrant Legion for a short time, but sooner or later those monsters will turn over. Once they have completely occupied a civilized country, they will gain a firm foothold outside the wasteland and gain strategic depth and development foundation—the special pollution they carry will soon turn the Ogure tribal country into a into the second piece of wasteland."

"I have reached an agreement with Ms. Wenna to send the vanguard into the moss forest," the figure of the Duke of the Westland, Baldwin Franklin, appeared in the holographic projection in another part of the room, "The vanguard will find a way to pass through the gray elves The ancient trade route entered the southern region of Aogure, ascertained the situation there and reestablished communication..."

"If the situation requires, you personally lead the garrison of the Western Military Region to assist Ogulei," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, and then he raised his head and looked at another communication projection in the room, "Also, Byron, what are you doing now? Location?"

"I have returned to Northport, Your Majesty," Byron in the holographic projection nodded immediately, "The messenger to Tarrond took off a few hours ago, and I am waiting for your order here."

"You bring enough weapons and supplies, lead the imperial navy to the port of White Feather, arm the gray elves there, and then continue south along the route around the continent, enter the hinterland of Ogure from the Holy River of Odor and prepare for landing operations. In addition, along the way, you should confirm the situation of the coastal communication link on the circumcontinental route - no matter how fast those monsters move, it is impossible to advance to the coastal area. The communication on the coastline should be just equipment failure. You bring enough engineering ships and technical teams, think There is a way to restore our north-south communication from the coastline—the communication environment in the hinterland of the mainland does not know when it will be restored, and we have to have a backup plan.”

"The Holy River of Odor..." Byron frowned slightly, and soon his mind corresponded to a large river in the south of the Ogule Tribal Country that goes directly to the sea and goes deep into the inland. A trace of worry appeared on his face, "The Winter" Can you sail in that inland river..."

"Yes, that river is large enough to accommodate a main battleship like the Winter," Gawain nodded confidently, "and the end of it leads to the Kingdom of Gaoling, if we still fail to restore the southern part of the mainland by then In terms of communication, after you get there, you have to send some warships to confirm the situation on the southern line, and do your best to support it."

Byron took a deep breath. The gray-haired "halfway knight" felt the heavy burden he was about to bear, and his expression became more serious than ever. He straightened his body and nodded heavily: "The mission must be completed!"

After the new order was issued, the room fell silent for a while, but after a while, another voice sounded from the magic net terminal not far away: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's still too late."

Gawain raised his head and saw Victoria's figure emerging in the holographic projection directly opposite him.

"The main fleet needs to go around half the continent from the sea to enter the holy river of Odor, and the ground troops can only enter the hinterland of Odor through the ancient trade route in the south of Moss Forest. Although these two routes can be passed through, they are too slow Already," the Duchess of the North kept her usual indifferent face, but her voice could not help but feel a little worried, "If Ogure's border troops have collapsed before then, I doubt whether their remaining resistance can last Our reinforcements have arrived..."

What Victoria said is exactly what most people in the room are worried about—everyone knows that the situation on the line of Ogure may be very bad, but even if the Cecil Empire still has the power to provide support, the reinforcements will not It may not be possible to arrive in that theater in time.

Ogulei, which has been dormant in an ancient land for thousands of years, has mountains on its east side (and may be full of monsters now), forests on its north side, and a long coast far away from the front line and the ancient dwarf kingdom on its west side ( There is another series of mountains between the Dwarf Kingdom and Ogure), and the south side extends all the way to the depths of the mountains and forests on the border of the Gaoling Kingdom. Whether it is from land or from the coastline, it is very difficult to enter that ancient land—— ——In the past few years, the Cecil Empire has traded with various tribes of Ogure, and the road pioneers have been building roads and opening up rivers between the mountains and dense forests, but the effort in just a few years is obviously not enough Let the ancient country become smooth everywhere.

But monsters don't care about these things, they can trek in the wilderness and forests without sleep or rest, regardless of casualties, encountering mountains and mountains, and encountering valleys to fill valleys.

However, facing the dilemma raised by Victoria, Gawain made a decision after only a little thought.

The modernized Cecil army has "new age solutions" to solve "ancient problems".

"We don't have only two paths," he tapped on the table lightly, and looked up at Rebecca, who was thinking about something with her head down, "Rebecca, the preparation for the launch of the Dawn of the World Which step is it?"

"Ah? Ah!" Rebecca woke up from her contemplation. She first yelled in a daze, and then realized, "You mean the Dawn of the World? Um... If only basic take-off combat capabilities are required, then It's fine now, but its supercritical accelerator is still undergoing final calibration, and that thing is a powerful bang bang..."

"Take off now," Gawain interrupted Rebecca, who was about to get excited, and said firmly, "There is no need to continue debugging, we need the power of the Dawn of the World now."

"But..." Rebecca subconsciously wanted to say something more, but in the next second she swallowed what she wanted to say - even if it was the shot put of the Cecil Empire, her alloy head still had priorities Conceptual, "Okay, I get it, I'll start the lift-off process for the Earthly Dawn when I get back..."

"Not only the Dawn of the World, but also the first batch of Gorgon platforms," ​​Gao Wen continued, "We have to consider the possibility that all positions on the western front have fallen. An air fortress can't defend the entire kingdom, we have to find a way to rebuild the entire western defense in a short period of time, at least to block the gaps in the western part of the wasteland."

"Okay, I understand," Rebecca nodded quickly, and then she frowned again, and said with a trace of hesitation, "But... my lord ancestor, I have to act together with the Dawn of the World."

"You? Going out with the Dawn of the World?" Gawain frowned suddenly, and Rebecca's words were beyond his expectations, "What are you going to do next—that's the front line, not you..."

"The core system of the Dawn of the World still needs to be adjusted, and many facilities in the upper area have not been tested. If there is no technical backbone accompanying it, the fortress may not be able to display even one-third of its strength," Rebecca said. It is very rare to be "stubborn" in front of Gao Wen, "And if I bring a group of technicians to follow, I can continue to build its supercritical accelerator and the rest of the weapon system during the operation of the Earthly Dawn, as long as Just bring enough materials..."

She thought about this, and continued while organizing her words: "And there is another very important point—although the Dawn of the World has its own 'brain', many operations in its operation still require manual intervention. Now the operators of the fortress have just completed the theoretical training, and the simulation operation is only half completed. I don’t feel at ease letting them take over the main system directly. I have to personally lead people to follow. In case of problems, I can still follow the guidance... ..."

While she was talking, she kept watching Gao Wen's face, and at the end she couldn't help but lower her voice, and finally she shrank her neck very cautiously: "...Can't you?"

Gao Wen didn't say a word, but looked at Rebecca in front of him with some strange eyes.

I don't know when, but the childish and youthful feeling in her body has faded away. Although her temper is still a little rash, and there are still many strange thoughts in her head, but today's Rebecca... It seems that It was quite different from the one Gao Wen met for the first time.

"Okay," Gao Wen said suddenly, with a very solemn expression, "Then the Dawn of the World will be handed over to you."

"Great!"

"But you have to remember one thing," Gawain poured cold water on Rebecca without waiting for Rebecca to get excited, "You are not a general, you don't know how to fight, so don't point fingers at places other than the Dawn of the World—— To cooperate with the actions of Grand Duke Baldwin and General Byron, the air operations must follow the advice of Commander Jin Na, understand?"

Rebecca quickly restrained her excitement, and nodded to her ancestor with a sullen face: "Yes, I understand!"

Gao Wen hummed, and looked away from Rebecca: "Okay, then..."

Just as he was speaking halfway, a magic net terminal set up at his hand suddenly started on its own, and the avatar of Mirmina appeared in midair: "Wait a minute, don't be nervous when I say something— —The old deer ran away."

Chapter 1314 After the Fall

Mirmina's sudden words made the whole room fall into silence.

Everyone here is a high-level executive of the empire. They know who the figure suddenly appeared in the room, and they know who the "old deer" in the other party's mouth represents.

The silence lasted for several seconds. Gao Wen was the first to break the silence, but his reaction was much calmer than Mirmina's imagined. He just quietly glanced at Mirmina's avatar and asked Said: "When did it happen?"

"...just now, but his speed is very fast, you probably won't be able to catch up with him," Mirmina coughed lightly, under the gaze of the mortal emperor Gao Wen, the former god had an expression on his face. He said strangely, "He went in the direction of the Silver Empire - I stopped him, but I couldn't stop him..."

"That is to say, he sensed the current situation of those old believers," Gawain nodded lightly, "How is the situation in the Silver Empire?"

Mirmina was a little surprised, probably because he didn't expect Gao Wen to directly bring the topic to this side, but she quickly realized, nodded and said: "He felt a large number of casualties in a short period of time and a very violent group mood swing, The situation in the south is not optimistic—but the fighting is still going on, and the line of defense still exists. That’s all, he can only vaguely perceive the situation there now, and he can’t say anything in detail.”

Gao Wen rested his hand on his chin, thoughtful: "Is that so... the defense line still exists is the greatest good news - the enemy's offensive is ferocious, but the greatest advantage is suddenness, as long as the initial pressure is withstood, the Silver Empire's The bottom strength should be able to support it..."

Seeing his reaction, Mirmina couldn't help it anymore: "Aren't you panicking at all? Amoen went directly to the south to help mortals, I thought..."

"He's already gone, hasn't he?" Gawain raised his eyelids and glanced at Mirmina, "He may even have arrived—the speed of your gods' coming" is always very fast when you take the initiative to do it. .”

Mir Mina was a little stumped for a while, and after a few seconds, she said, "...that's true."

"He should know what he's doing, and even more what he can't do," Gawain shook his head lightly. Amon's sudden action actually brought him a big surprise, but at this time he had to stand in a Make trade-offs and judgments from a higher perspective, and...pay trust, "We all know the rules for the birth and operation of gods, and we know that there are some loopholes in this process that can be exploited, but the risk of exploiting this loophole is very high. In a state of peace, no one dares to undertake it—but now, it is more important to keep the entire civilized world alive. I hope that Amorn can clearly recognize the existence of this line, because if he does not recognize it..."

Gawain couldn't help but stop when he said this, and he didn't let out a sigh until a few seconds later: "It will be a long disaster for the future silver elves and himself."

……

The border in the distance is burning with flames of war, and the roar of the Sentinel Tower's destruction seems to be able to span the entire land, and there are disturbing air currents echoing in the dense jungle of the Silver Empire - the news from the front comes through various channels Returning to the Elf King City, some of them are true and some are false, and regardless of whether they are true or false, the content is equally bad. In the face of a sudden change, even the proud ancient races will inevitably feel uneasy.

It was in this situation that a huge flying device pierced the night, flew from the far north like a flaming meteor, and arrived at the elven king city in the center of the jungle and plain amidst the roaring and buzzing magic resonance. And landed on an open lake in the north of the royal court - the brilliance it emitted could be seen throughout the city, but few ordinary citizens could immediately identify the origin of the unrecognizable flying object, and they stared blankly in the night They ran to the streets, guessing and discussing what it was that suddenly landed in the royal court, but only a few silver elves who had extensive knowledge and had contact with the temple felt great fear and anxiety at this moment.

These old elves recognized it—it was a separate unit from the Temple of Stars, the "Garden of Tranquility".

Valentian Jingu, the chief minister who stayed in the royal city, left the royal court immediately, and led an elite royal guard and a few military officers to the shore of the lake. He saw that he was leading the civil servants from the seriously damaged quiet garden The evacuated chief astrologer, Verania, went forward immediately: "Great astrologer, what happened in the north? Our communication with the front line has been completely cut off...Why did the Tranquility Garden break away from the temple? ?”

"The barrier is out of control, and the aberrations are swarming out - the Temple of the Stars has become history, and the Queen ordered the Temple to block the gap in the defense line."

Verania said in a low voice, her face was pale, her eyes were tired, there were many burnt and damaged marks on her mage robe, and the original beautiful face was also stained with blood. These were the process of evacuating the battlefield in Tranquility Garden During the battle, she took the initiative to attack several times to eliminate the wounds left by the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, but compared with the current dangerous situation, she no longer cared about the slight pain on her body.

The expression of the chief minister froze instantly, his eyes widened in shock, and then he heard a more detailed front-line battle report from Verania - from the loss of control of the grand wall, which caused the interruption of front-line communication, all the way to When the Temple of Stars fell on the horizon, and the Garden of Tranquility arrived at the Royal City through the flames of war, all the information finally became clear to him.

"You said Her Majesty stayed in the Hall of Dominion?!" Valentian stared. For thousands of years, he had never felt the biting chill like today. With the help of the guards, he went to the civil service group in the rest area. Among them, he did not see the figure he was familiar with. "Great Astromancer, do you know what this means?!"

"The Dominion Seat has its own escape system." Verania said calmly.

"But in that situation, the escape system can't save lives at all—Her Majesty will fall to the ground together with the temple, and around the crash zone, the flight range that the escape system can reach is full of enemies!" Wa Lundian tried his best to keep his voice down, and said in a hurried tone, "The entire barrier area has completely fallen, do you think..."

The anxious words of the first and assistant ministers were interrupted, and the expression of the great astrologer was very calm: "Yes, I know."

"You know?" Valentian was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the great astrologer in front of him.

"Why do you think Your Majesty asked me to escort the civil servants back to the royal court?" Verania just watched the chief minister quietly, and after a while, she nodded slightly, "Reorganize the legion, Valentin Ann, arm our reserve Millennium Warriors and let them cross the Homecoming Bridge again—the Temple of the Stars has fallen, but the Silver Elves will raise their heads."

She took a deep breath, and in the waves of light in her eyes, it seemed that there were still flashes and flames that rose up when the Temple of the Stars fell on the horizon, and in an instant, the flames turned into the lush jungle of the Silver Empire, And the Ranger Legion assembled again.

"We have sunk for so many years, Valentian, under the shelter of the Temple of the Stars and nurtured by this forest, we have been gentle and graceful 'long ears' for thousands of years, so many people have probably forgotten Already, when the countries on this continent were still in the barbaric and dark ages, why did the pioneers of the silver elves occupy the most fertile and fertile land on this land—we didn’t rely on being good at singing and dancing A gentleman preserves the millions of rivers and mountains he has conquered."

Under the lights under the night, Valentian Jingu listened to the deep words of the great astrologer, and slowly, his eyes, which had always been gentle for thousands of years, became as hard and cold as steel.

……

A cold light cut through the dim smoke and dust, mixed with the powerful energy and impact released by the thunder burst, the next second, the tall giant-like deformed body was neatly cut into three sections by the blade, wrapped in dirty flesh and blood As the black smoke continuously drifted down from mid-air, a bloodstain was scattered on the gorgeous floor tiles with many exquisite patterns and a long history.

Yi Lian held two swords, her figure twirling in mid-air, her clothes and blond hair bloomed like flowers, and then instantly retracted as she fell to the ground. Looking at the disgusting piece of deformed flesh on the floor in disgust, which had begun to decompose in the thick black smoke, he couldn't help muttering softly after a few seconds: "Fortunately, I don't have to wipe this floor anymore ..."

"Your swordsmanship is still so good," the voice of the Silver Queen came from the side at this moment. Belsetia held a long staff in one hand and a blood-stained long sword in the other, smiling Looking at the maid who grew up with him since she was a child, "It's really the result of practicing against the royal guards every day."

"You're too proud—ah, the ground here is filthy, you'd better not go any further," Elaine turned around and said, then frowned suddenly, "Why don't I clean up this place, there's blood and oil all over the place ..."

Belsetia glanced at Elaine, and couldn't help laughing: "When is this, should we pay attention to this?"

"...Well, if you say you don't pay attention, then you don't pay attention," Elaine shook her head, and whispered while vigilantly looking at the sloping ground and the surrounding smoke, "Those monsters have already infiltrated here ...their climbing speed is really fast, and their search is really accurate...could it be that they still have special 'special forces'?"

"No, these climbers should be just stragglers who were separated from the main force during the impact," Belsetia shook her head, "Have you noticed? They are just wandering around, relying on instinct to attack, and occasionally they move in groups. They don’t know how to cover and cooperate at all—it’s like the most common monster, completely different from the opponents who understand group combat and basic tactics that frontline soldiers come into contact with.”

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked forward. She could see the sloping ground and the crooked and collapsed temple buildings in the distance. The core area of ​​the once magnificent temple had collapsed under the impact, becoming a desolate place on this artificial land. There were ruins, and among the shattered walls and fallen pillars, bright arcs could still be seen breaking through the air from time to time, creating flashes and explosions in the smoke and dust.

On the ground, a huge and intertwined network of fissures spread from her feet all the way to the end of her sight. The entire Temple of Stars had been split into several relatively large wreckage structures during the crash process, and even in the center that barely maintained its integrity In the area, the wide cracks that can be seen everywhere also make walking dangerous.

As for the ancient systems in the depths of the Temple of Stars... all of them lost their response as early as the moment they fell. This ancient fortress that has served the silver elves for tens of thousands of years has finally come to an end today.

"The energy shock produced during the crash of the temple may have destroyed the chain of command among those monsters—they obviously don't have complete thinking ability themselves, and the reason why they can show a certain degree of discipline and even combat wisdom is likely to rely on It's intelligent individuals who command from the rear," Belsetia casually said to Elaine while looking around, "Those monsters climbing up the ruins lost the ability to perceive the 'command signal' from the rear, which is very important. Intelligence, which shows that the connection between them can be interrupted by a powerful pulse of magic power..."

"Yes, we should take this important information out, and when the communication with allies on other fronts is restored, we will have a way to dismantle the organization of those monsters," the maid Elaine said calmly, "Don't worry, I will Stay by your side until you are safely out of this dangerous situation."

Belsetia stopped, looked at the personal maid who was inseparable from her, and suddenly smiled: "Don't you think we will die here?"

"I don't think so," Elaine shook her head, "You are the Silver Queen, this filthy land is not worthy of swallowing your life."

"Ha, although this is useless, it sounds pretty good," Belsetia laughed, and a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from behind her. She turned to look in the direction of the sound, and saw The most important thing is the dominion hall that has collapsed, and the dominion seat standing in the center of the hall, which still remains intact. The escape shield in the throne area has been completely shut down as the energy is exhausted, "The energy of the escape system is exhausted."

"It helped us offset the impact of the previous fall and the secondary damage when the hall collapsed, and it's done its best for such an ancient system."

"Yeah... do your best..."

Belsetia said softly as if she was talking to herself, then shook her head.

She didn't deceive her subordinates. The Seat of Dominion does have an escape system. As the control center of the Temple of Stars, it certainly has this function.

But at the moment before the temple crashed, she did not start the launch procedure of the escape system, but chose to stay in the hall and continue to control the end course of the temple, and activated the protection function of the escape system.

The reason is simple—the flight range of the escape system has its limit, and the crashed area of ​​the Temple of Stars has been completely submerged in the tide of the army of distortions.

Even if a huge number of enemies can be killed when the temple crashes, there is no way to wipe out all the monsters in the direction of the wasteland and in the depths of the forest barrier-ejection escape can only let oneself fall into the depths of the enemy's denser battlefield, or even Landed directly in the enemy's base camp.

On balance, Belsetia chose to stay here, at least here, she can continue to control her own destiny.

Chapter 1315 Fighting alone...?

Smoke and dust obscured the line of sight, and the sound of metal and rock cracking came from the depths of some nearby old buildings or artificial ground from time to time, and these cracking sounds were accompanied by constant vibrations from the depths beneath the feet—— Although a fortress with an astonishing scale has crashed on the ground, just like the death of a giant beast, its too large and bloated body still needs a long time to collapse to reach a certain stable state, and before that, this giant The "aftershocks of death" in the body may last for days or even months.

Belsetia and Elaine left the completely collapsed central palace. They trudged on the slanted and broken ground, passing over the ruins of buildings and the wreckage of magic weapons that were billowing thick smoke, and encountered wandering aberrations several times in the middle. Fighting against each other, but I have never encountered that kind of disciplined and cooperative enemy. The situation may be as Belsetia expected: the huge energy shock released when the Temple of the Stars crashed destroyed the deformed body in this area The "spiritual connection" between the legions has turned these enemies who know how to fight in groups into mindless monsters again, which is undoubtedly good news.

Of course, it’s not that Belsetia didn’t think about another better possibility—maybe the supreme commander of the enemy army in this area was very unlucky to be located in the crashed area of ​​the temple, and now it has become the deepest place in the ruins. A speck of dirt...

But she also knows that this is mostly just a good idea of ​​hers. The commanders behind these monsters are obviously very cunning and spare their lives. They have the ability to command the frontline army across a very wide battlefield, so there is no need to charge with these cannon fodder In the front, and in the previous battles, the soldiers who were in front of the enemy had never seen any "officer" level personnel in the tide of monsters that came out-so most of the controllers of these monsters were still hiding in the Deep in the wasteland, the next attack plan is being planned.

I really want to know what their expressions looked like when they saw the Temple of Stars falling from the sky.

Belsetia shook her head and put aside these irrelevant associations for the time being. She heard a strange roar coming from deep under her feet, and then a certain facility not far ahead suddenly collapsed, and the nearby ground A gap opened amidst creaking noises, and a series of flashes and explosion smoke rose from the gap.

She knew that this was the continuous "twitch" of the "giant beast" under her feet after death, just like the tremor of muscles after the death of a flesh and blood body. Although the main system of the temple has been completely shut down, its deepest There are still many structures in those ancient and complex cabins that are undergoing final operation, but it is not known how long this process will last.

A burst of low and chaotic roars and whispers came from the depths of a cloud of thick smoke in the distance, interrupting the sadness in Belsetia's heart, and slowing down her and Elaine's footsteps at the same time.

They quickly hid themselves behind a nearby boulder, staring vigilantly at the billowing thick smoke coming out of a certain ventilation duct, several heavy footsteps sounded from the thick smoke, the continuous low The roars and chaotic murmurs are also getting closer.

Belsetia carefully counted her heartbeats. At the same time as No. 12 heartbeats sounded, she saw those tall and distorted figures, monsters covered in mud and flesh, staggering out of the thick smoke, staggering While walking forward, they swayed their ugly and aimless heads from side to side, as if they were sniffing out prey, looking for the breath of a living person who appeared here just now.

Belsetia quickly exchanged glances with her personal maid, and she had already decided on a battle plan without talking to each other. The next second, a figure holding two swords rushed out from behind the hiding place, and lightning flashed in midair. A sharp arc flashed across the trajectory of Yi Lian's charge, and a deformed body walking in the front almost didn't react and was cut into three sections in an instant - one cut off the head and the other cut off the waist .

The twin swords in the hands of the blond elf bloomed like flowers, and slashed at the second enemy at nearly the speed of sound. Elaine's figure spun in the center of the steel flower, and the deformed body that reacted let out a chaotic roar, and rushed towards the enemy who was standing next to them one after another. The breath of life suddenly brightened in the perception - but in the next second, a torrential rain of ice cones appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, crashing towards these freaks who had no time to dodge.

The dirty and flowing flesh was firmly nailed to the ground by the ice cone, and the ensuing extremely cold breath made the huge bodies of the monsters brittle and sluggish. Elaine walked through the gap between the ice blade and the cold wind and danced. It can harvest dying monsters one by one with a long sword.

A deformed body located on the edge of the battlefield broke free from the shackles of the ice cone at the last moment. The monster raised its arm high, and a dark red energy beam quickly formed in its hand, aiming at the vital point on Elaine's back, but a long sword broke Flying in the air, this long sword was held by an invisible magic hand, instantly cut off the monster's arm, and cut off its remaining limbs before the opponent recovered, and finally the long sword flew high, stabbing the monster quickly from the air. Next, with a bang, he nailed the monster directly to the bloody ground from head to chest.

And at this time, Elaine's last sword just completed the final harvest, and within a few tens of seconds, the chaotic roars from several deformed bodies completely fell silent in the ruins.

Belsetia walked towards Elaine, and at the same time gently waved to the side. The long sword that nailed the monster to death was pulled out by the invisible magic hand and shook the blood in the air, then spun and flew back into the hands of the Silver Queen. The latter watched Yi Lian pick up the corpse of a deformed body with the tip of her sword, and frowned slightly: "How many waves of monsters have we encountered already?"

"The seventh wave—not counting the ones we carefully bypassed," Elaine looked up and replied, "thanks to the stragglers, if these monsters swarmed up in groups, we might not be the opponent. What did you think of? "

"How did they survive the previous impact?" Belsetia looked serious, "Occasionally there are some surviving monsters, which is understandable. After all, they are huge in number and have tenacious vitality. They always hide in just the right place to escape the impact The lucky ones exist, but now we have encountered so many monsters that survived, and... this is the upper part of the temple."
