Chapter 570: The Eve of the Great War (1/3)
White Rock Fortress.
This majestic fortress was built on an endless plain, gathering 100,000 troops and countless strong men, and the materials and food hoarded in it were enough for 100,000 of them to consume for ten years!
This time, after receiving the news that the Dark Legion was about to march north, the northern Mosarun fortress sent nearly half of the elite warriors in the fortress, including 30,000 Terran warriors, 10,000 elven archers, 5,000 dwarven warriors, 5,000 dwarven musketeers, and ten dragon archmages.
This brought the number of warriors in the White Rock Fortress to an unprecedented 150,000.
These days, there are tons of magic crystals, large boxes of magical equipment and weapons, which are specially built to transport supplies to the fortress, especially in addition to food.
Nowadays, copying magic tools has become a scale, and under the crazy work of a large number of copying magic weapons, magic equipment has become completely popular.
By now, every Allied warrior had at least one piece of magical equipment, even the firehead who specialized in the kitchen had a magic ring on his hand to protect against fire damage.
At this time, the strength of the allies has at least doubled compared to before!
And the White Rock Fortress, which was guarded by the Allies, was like a huge nail, nailed to the Dark Legion's northward path.
If the Dark Legion does not uproot this fortress and instead goes around and attacks the fortress of Mosalen, then they will face a miserable state of attack from both sides, so the White Rock Fortress is the first level that the Dark Legion will have to pass through.
The supreme commander of the fortress was none other than the famous Paladin Joseph. Martin, at this time. He was standing on the majestic and tall walls of the White Rock Fortress. Look south.
The wall was originally forty meters high. But because of the terrible demons like the Abyss Lord participating in the battle, these days the magicians and craftsmen have worked hard to strengthen the city wall, and they have increased the scale of the city wall by more than 50%, the height has reached sixty-five meters, and the width has reached twenty meters, and a large number of magic crystals have been inlaid to draw a new defensive magic array.
At this moment, this fortress can be described as a miracle.
With the former strength of the Terrans. It would have been impossible to build such a majestic building, but now, under the high pressure of war, the strength of the human race in all aspects is advancing rapidly, and it can be described as reborn.
By now, among all races, the power of the human race has jumped to the first place, and the position is stable, no one can shake it, and even the elves have to admit the dominance of the human race.
This is something that no one expected before the war.
In fact. In the past few years, the technological forces of various ethnic groups have been rapidly merging. There has been a lot of unexpected innovation in the convergence process.
Every innovation that appears, in fact, not only the Terrans have benefited, but the elves and dwarves have also received huge benefits, but the problem is that the Terrans have the largest population. The same innovation spread, assuming that the benefits that everyone can get are 10, but the human population is tens of millions, and the benefits of 100 million will be obtained, and the elven population will be more than 1 million, and the benefits will only be 10 million, and the gap between the two sides will be 90 million at once, not to mention the dwarves, and the human race is not comparable at all.
Such innovations abound, and with the accumulation of time and huge advantages, even the dragons are willing to bow down, and the Terrans can't become the leader of the alliance.
"At the beginning, Marshal Rollin said that he would give great preferential treatment to dwarves and elves, and I objected to it, but now it seems that the marshal's vision is much longer than mine." Joseph. Martin had a lot on his mind.
After Rollin's disappearance, Horn became the new marshal, and he adhered to Rollin's strategy, which eventually led to the glory of the Terran today.
"However, no matter how brilliant it is, if you can't win this battle, everything will come to naught." Joseph. Martin looked out over the southern horizon with a solemn mood.
There has been news from the south that the Dark Legion has been dispatched with all its troops, and the others are okay, that is, 35 Abyss Lords with almost demigod power, which is really terrifying.
Just as he was contemplating and pondering, he suddenly saw a fast-moving black shadow appear on the horizon in front of him, this black shadow rushed towards the fortress at a rapid speed, the speed was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was outside the attack range of the city wall, the other party stopped, and a voice came: "Joseph, it's me!" ”
The voice was familiar, and Joseph immediately knew that Rollin was back, and immediately gave orders: "Don't attack, let him in!" ”
The warriors on the city wall immediately put down their weapons, and Rollin jumped to his feet, took a few steps in the air, and jumped onto the city wall.
"Earl Yuan, what's the situation ahead?" Joseph immediately met him.
"The Dark Legion has reached a hundred miles away, and now there are 33 Abyss Lords, and they are making the final repairs, and they will start attacking tomorrow." Luo Lin said, he harassed all the way, and with the help of Sha'er, he made the impossible possible, and killed two more Abyss Lords under the nose of the Dark Legion.
However, two is already the limit, and there are still 33 lords left, which is still a huge threat to the fortress, and if the group charges, Luo Lin estimates that the wall under his feet will only last for a minute at most.
"33" The paladin frowned, he knew the power of the Abyss Lord, the only one in the alliance who could resist the opponent's frontal attack was the dragon clan, but the number of the dragon clan was very small, only more than forty, and most of them were young dragons, no more than ten in the prime of life, I am afraid that if a wave rushes forward, more than half of the dragons will be killed in battle.
This is absolutely devastating for the dragon clan.
"I don't know if the magic barrier can stop the Abyss Lord's charge." Joseph asked worriedly, it would not be possible to let the dragon rush directly, the dragons did not do it at all, fortunately each of them was an archmage, so they thought of using a magic enchantment to resist the attack, but the feasibility could not be verified.
Rollin shook his head dryly, "The magic enchantment is useless. There is a gap in the level of mana, no matter how large the scale is, it will be broken in one rush. ”
The Abyss Lords are all the pinnacle powers of the mortal world, with a magic power level of up to level 49, and now whether it is the enchantment of the dragon or the magic enchantment made by the Terran archmage using alchemy, the highest magic power level is around level 47. That's two levels off.
Two levels worse than this. It's the equivalent of a pebble and sandstone. Completely unconfrontational.
Joseph's heart sank, although they would not necessarily lose after the walls were breached, but the chances of victory would definitely plummet, and even if they did, it would probably be a miserable victory.
More likely, it was the failure, and the thought of what would happen after that made Joseph's heart heavy.
"Alright, don't think about it. We've done our best. Rollin patted Joseph on the shoulder, he yawned, and said, "Arrange me a quiet place to stay, I've been dealing with the Great Demon King these days, but I'm tired." ”
"Okay, I forgot about the adjutant, and took the count to the fortress castle to rest." Joseph was a little strange, he felt that with Rollin's character, he should not be so resigned to fate, but he did not see any flaws.
No matter how heavy Joseph's mood was. Rollin followed the adjutant all the way to the castle in the center of the fortress and to the castle gate. Luo Lin said: "Find me the quietest room, I am most afraid of being disturbed by others when I sleep." ”
"Yes, Count." This lieutenant vaguely knew Rollin's identity and knew his strength, so his attitude was very humble.
After some selection, Rollin found a room in the most partialt corner of the second basement floor of the castle, there was no wooden bed in the room, only a stone kang, and a stove was burned in one corner, which was originally for dwarves who were used to living underground, and now Rollin liked it here, and immediately a soldier brought the bedding and cleaned up the room for Rollin.
Before closing the door, Luo Lin instructed the adjutant: "I have recently made some breakthroughs in martial arts, I must concentrate on it, and don't let people disturb me unless the battle starts." ”
"As you wish, Count." The adjutant is naturally obedient.
Closing the door and making sure that all the soldiers outside the door were gone, Luo Lin sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to rein in his strength, and in his mind, he saw that all the power in his body, from the divine power in the core to the magic power in the periphery, began to converge to the deepest part of the body, until it became a small point of light.
He was very completely restrained, and in an instant, his body became a skin without the slightest strength to support it, and the whole person was paralyzed and paused, and at a glance, it looked like a corpse sitting on a bed.
Then, Rollin's mind said to Sha'er, "Let's begin." ”
In the void, a dark divine power suddenly fell, this power was condensed, pure, and filled with a quiet and soft taste, like the peace of a baby sleeping peacefully in its mother's arms in the darkest night.
This divine power penetrated into Luo Lin's empty body, and his body changed in an instant, the original bronze skin changed to brown-black, and then from brown-black to pure black, and it also shone with a metallic luster, like obsidian.
Drastic changes are also taking place inside Rollin's body, and a fine and dense connection begins to appear between the outer dark divine power and the inner core, with Rollin's own power as the core and Sha'er's dark divine power as the shell, a brand-new body with huge divine power has been constructed.
Because these divine powers belong to two gods, and none of the divine powers possessed by a single life exceed the upper limit of the plane, they are not rejected by the stronger rules of the plane.
But because Sha'er has completely let go of her control over these dark powers, the power that Rollin really controls has actually exceeded the boundaries of the world.
When the dark divine power shell was completely connected, Luo Lin's whole person showed a deep dark aura, and if he was seen at this time, no one would suspect that he had fallen into darkness.
"Your secret method has worked, and my divine power has loosened." Rollin felt the change, and when his divine power was covered by Sha'er's dark divine power, the restrictions imposed on him by the rules of the plane weakened to an almost negligible degree.
So, you're going to have ten minutes of short freedom. Ten minutes later, the World Origin will close the hole. Remember, when the time is coming to an end, you will have to leave the battlefield, regardless of whether the war is won or lost. ”
"I understand." Rollin nodded.
He wielded the power of darkness, and the darkness was the sworn enemy of the Allies, and for all sorts of reasons, he would be discredited by throwing himself into the darkness and becoming a sinner to be crusaded against across the continent.
But so what? Rollin didn't care about these false names, he knew that Vianna, who was thousands of kilometers away, would understand his choice. That's enough. (To be continued......)
