Chapter 543: Phase Meter (2/3)
The northern part of the wilderness is a rugged mountainous terrain with dense trees and steep terrain, perfect for hiding from enemies.
Jasmine and the surviving warriors play hide-and-seek with stalking enemies in the mountains.
At this time, Jasmine was still wearing the goblin armor, because the size of the goblin armor was limited, and she paid a huge sacrifice in order to adapt to this powerful armor. At the age of ten, she used alchemy potions to fix her body forever in the appearance of a ten-year-old and never grow again.
It wasn't forced by others, it was her own choice. In the midst of this catastrophe, the Terrans need strength, and in order to gain great power, they must make great sacrifices.
For Jasmine, it was nothing that her body would never grow up, and she was already much luckier than her comrades who died in battle.
This time, she and her warriors formed the 'Sword of Divine Punishment' assault legion successfully raided a large dwarf magic machine base in the south and completely destroyed it.
The news brought back by the werewolf scout shows that in the dark region, there is only one super-large mechanical base like this, three large ones, and the rest of the small and medium-sized ones are about ten. It takes them about half a year to build a large base, and it consumes a lot of resources, so the success of Jasmine's raid is a huge victory.
The demons were obviously going crazy with rage, and their counterattack was very crazy, and they chased after them all the way. The Divine Sword Legion and its opponent fought more than a dozen times in the wilderness, fighting and retreating, and the damage was so severe that even the Legion's killer frost dragon, Nefitta, fell.
When she arrived in this mountainous area, there was only an elite team of more than thirty powerful Terran warriors and five dwarven griffin knights left by Jasmine's side. Three elven archers and seven human archers. Eight dwarven musketeers. There were also three werewolf scouts, and the remaining warriors of the legion, which originally exceeded three thousand, were no more than 60 people.
Everyone was wounded, hungry and tired, and if they were caught up by the demons, they would be wiped out.
Now, the legion, which numbered less than a hundred, was resting in a hidden valley in the mountains, and everyone was tired, even the always elegant elves did not care about the dirt. Sitting on the ground with their backs to each other, they never wanted to get up again.
Jasmine is also very tired, because of the battle armor and years of training combat skills, her body can still hold on, but her heartstrings are tensed all the time, and the whole person's mental state is already on the verge of collapse.
No matter how talented she is, no matter how resolute her heart is, she is still just an eleven-year-old girl.
The valley was silent, no one spoke, and this was done for the sake of concealment. A large part of the reason is that no one has the strength anymore, and everyone is seizing the time to accumulate physical strength. for the next battle.
Suddenly, there was a soft clatter from the woods at the edge of the valley, and everyone looked nervously over to see their weapons ready, and they were relieved when they saw a werewolf emerge from the woods.
The appearance of this werewolf scout is also very miserable, his legs are full of wounds pulled out by branches and thorns, which are already bloody and blurred, and his arm has a penetrating wound, if it were not for the strong vitality of the werewolf, he would not be able to continue to be competent for the work of the scout.
He gasped and walked over to Jasmine to report: "General, they have also entered the mountain, at the foot of that mountain, less than five kilometers away from us. ”
"How many are there?" Jasmine's voice was a little hoarse, with a thick tiredness that could not be dissolved.
"It's a standard demon legion, with three war demons, fifty dwarf lancers, twenty Flo warriors, and about 500 undead skeletons. Their equipment was brand new, there were no wounded, and they were new teams that had just been transported. The werewolf scout has a desperate answer.
"Damn it!" Jasmine scolded: "What a ghost! ”
A human lieutenant beside her said, "General, this shows that we have grabbed the right thing. ”
The lieutenant patted a square iron box with a length and width of one meter beside Jasmine, which contained a very sophisticated instrument obtained from the destroyed magical mechanical base, and was the main reason for their raid.
Jasmine sighed, "I just don't know if I can successfully transport this thing back." ”
The contents of the chest are called phase meters, the latest creation of the dwarfs, a powerful magical device capable of breaking through the barriers of the plane, with the help of which it is possible for the dark legion to break through the blockade of the World Force, reopen the portal to the outer plane, and bring in more demon soldiers.
Now that the two armies are at war, the strength of the two sides is equal, and the battle situation is in a stalemate, if this portal is really opened, this balance will be broken immediately, and the Allies will lose the war.
This is a life-and-death battle of light and darkness, and losing it means extermination.
Because of this, as soon as the Allied archmages received a clue to the existence of the phase meter from the prophecy, the entire Allied army sprang into action to disrupt the dark legion's evil plans.
Now that their Divine Punishment Sword Legion has obtained the phase instrument, and the mission is more than half successful, the best outcome is to transport this precious phase instrument back for the Allied mages and alchemists to study the principle of this magic device, in case the portal is really opened, and the Allies have a way to destroy it.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that this phasing instrument can only be destroyed, and their Divine Punishment Sword Legion will all be martyred for this phasing instrument.
"General, why don't you go first with the phaser, and we will drag the demon for you?" The adjutant suddenly suggested that even the dragon Nifeta was finished, and they had never thought of returning alive.
Of those present, Jasmine in battle armor was the most powerful, and she left with a phaser, most likely returning the thing to the Allied base in good condition.
Jasmine shook her head: "No." ”
The adjutant hurriedly persuaded: "General, the task is important at this time, for this thing, our brothers and comrades-in-arms have all sacrificed, if the task is not completed, their sacrifice is meaningless"
"I understand. But the magic of the armor is not much left, and I can't go, so I can only fight to the death. Jasmine sighed, of course she knew that she was the best candidate, but after many days of fighting, this Hand of Death armor couldn't hold on.
Everyone was silent.
Jasmine continued, "But it's not the last moment, it's not time to destroy the phaser. So, griffon knights, go with the chests! ”
The adjutant hurriedly said: "But there is a gargoyle in the sky to intercept it, and the griffin knight can't break through at all!" ”
The dragon Nefita was forced to fall to the ground by gargoyles before, and those ghosts were unexpectedly difficult.
"I know." Jasmine nodded calmly: "So you only bring the box, as for the phase meter in the box, elves, you are the darlings of the forest, it is up to you to bring it back!" ”
The elven archers were taken aback, and soon, the warriors present all reacted and understood Jasmine's plan, and the griffin was actually carrying an empty chest to divert the attention of the opponent and buy time for the elves to retreat. The rest of the warriors will stay here, doing their best to block the pursuers in the rear, also to gain opportunities for the elves.
This plan is very tragic, except for the elven archers who may survive, everyone else is dead,
But everyone present is an elite, and they all understand the importance of phase meters.
It is possible that the Dark Legion may not only have this phaser, but they can also build new ones, and in order to prevent them from actually opening the portal, it is necessary for the archmages to understand how the phaser works, so sending this instrument back is a matter of fate for the Allies, and it is worth the sacrifice of every warrior present for their lives.
The elven archers immediately stood up and said solemnly: "General, we will do our best to complete the task!" ”
"The instrument must not be destroyed until the last moment!" Jasmine solemnly instructed, but unfortunately this thing can't be put into the space container, otherwise it will be much more convenient to take it away.
"We understand." The elves opened the box and took out an ellipsoidal metal creation more than eighty centimeters long, which was inlaid with a dark blue transparent spar in the middle, and the moire-like streamer in the spar continued to flow, which was very precise, which was the so-called phase meter.
Then, the three elven archers took the thing and galloped into the forest, diving all the way north.
The dwarven griffin knights did not hesitate, rested for a while, and also stepped on the back of the griffin, who grabbed the empty box, took off, and flew towards another square.
With nearly fifty people remaining in the valley, Jasmine took a deep breath: "My brothers, let's fight vigorously!" ”
"Fight! War! War! The voices of the warriors burst out from between their teeth, and they were tragic.
At this time, a terrible wolf howl suddenly came out from the front mountain, and everyone who was resting in the valley suddenly stood up, which was a signal from the werewolf.
Jasmine exclaimed, "They're coming, ready!" ”
The various warriors immediately began to occupy the high ground and form a defensive line, which was fast and methodical, and when the warriors completed the most basic fortifications, at the foot of the mountain, there were undead vanguards constantly popping up, one after another, and the undead were followed by demons, especially the tall and strong war demons, which made people feel chilled at a glance.
"Steady! Steady! Musketeers, all aim for the war demon attack! Shield swordsman, stop the undead! Archers, start attacking! Jasmine shouted, she stood motionless behind the line to save the armor's magic, her eyes fixed on the war demons down the mountain, the precision goblin musket in her hand raised, aiming at the big guys, and when they rushed within her attack range, she would deliver a fatal blow.
There is not much magic left in the armor, the musket can only fire five shots, and after five shots, the magic power is exhausted, her armor will not be able to move, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, so she must kill three war demons within five shots. (To be continued......)
