Since the disappearance of the Templar Orb a year ago, the diocese of Beinz seems to have been in a state of calamity, and in just one year, a series of events have taken place in this land distorted by supernatural forces—the collapse of the Dragon's Back Mountains, the siege of the Golem, the awakening of the eldest son, the destruction of the diocese, the death of a rector, and finally the entire sacred lake being reduced into a huge crystal pit by railgun. Today, the parish, once considered a holy place, has been changed beyond recognition, almost all of the civilian settlements have been evacuated and replaced by various knightly quarters and makeshift monasteries, and the population is still about the same as it was a year ago, but the population has almost 100% changed to soldiers and monks, and even the bold mercenaries of the past now shun the place.

However, the eventful season of the diocese of Beinz has not yet passed, and not long after the mining and utilization of the crystal pit has just begun, it has become the "holy and refuge" of the Radiant and Reversionist sects. Battle" front.

Today, the Diocese of Beinz and the "Holy Mountain" on the west side of the diocese, which is not part of Horletta's sphere of influence, have become the front line of battle between the Radiant Cult and the cultists. The area is centered around the Crystal Pit, which is flanked on the east side by the remnants of the collapsed Dragonspine Mountains, where most of the main forces of the Church Knights and Kingdom Knights are stationed, and the towering peaks on the west side of the pit are the territory of the Werewolf Tribal State, and beneath those peaks hide the secret fortress that the Returnees have been operating for many years. The Werewolf Tribal Nation was extremely angry with the heretics under their noses, and regarded this oversight as a disgrace, so they were no less warlike about the returning cult than the fanatical Radiant Believers on the eastern side of the mines.

In terms of strength. The cultists hiding inside the sacred mountain are at an overwhelming disadvantage, they are already surrounded by groups. And there was no foreign aid - the fierce snow-capped wolf cavalry and the two major knights cut off all roads around the western mountain range, but the cultists showed no signs of showing weakness so far. They are like numb guardians, resolutely strangled any outsider who entered the mountains, and this confidence may be the result of being controlled by the mind, or it may be that they really believe that as long as they die in the "Patriotic War", their blood and flesh will be honorably returned to the goddess - the matter of fanatical believers is basically unreasonable.

The group set out from the royal capital and went directly through the teleportation array to the knights' camp in the diocese of Beinz. After the light of the teleportation dimmed, Hao Ren found himself in a wide hexagonal hall, the walls of the hall were crystal clear, flowing with the light of magic. On the ground in the center of the hall is a huge and complex teleportation circle. In each corner around the hall, three groups of guards can be seen: a high-ranking magus in mage robes, and two elite knights with bright armor and magical patterns floating on their armor.

A sense of oppression in a military location came to my face.

As soon as Lily showed her head, she saw a pair of wolf ears on the head of a knight in the corner of the hall, and she was immediately overjoyed, and waved her hand to greet someone: "Roar! Fellow! I'm also a werewolf, I'm a ...... of the Ha family."

"Don't howl, they're standing guard," Hao Ren quickly dragged Lily back, and then looked around the place. "It's gorgeous...... I thought that the front line of the parish was a messy place like a temporary position, and when I showed up, I saw a big cowhide tent all over the ground......"

Ofrah laughed, "Of course there are places like that, but they're all stationed on the ground. Come, I'll show you something—though it may not be very clever for a stranger like you. But it seems to me to be a miracle, let me show it off to you. ”

"A cantonment on the ground?" Hao Ren muttered subconsciously, and then was dragged out of the teleportation hall by Offrah.

As soon as you go out. He was taken aback by what he saw.

He saw a magnificent, glittering fortress.

A large half-moon-shaped plaza stretched out in front of you, and elite knights and magical soldiers could be seen marching in a queue. The square is surrounded by tall and neat buildings, which are surrounded by thick walls on the perimeter. Between the buildings, you can see elegant magical spires. The bright light at the top of the spire is constantly jumping and transmitting to each other, indicating that all the buildings here may be under a monolithic energy system: a system of such a large monolithic energy supply is rare in this world.

Hao Ren looked at the square and the surrounding things in amazement, and he found that the materials used to build these facilities were not the same as ordinary Halletta buildings, the material was obviously a man-made building material, and it was very high-end, they were smoother than rock, more delicate than bricks, and a layer of slightly shiny crystal shells could be seen on its smooth surface, giving people the feeling of a layer of glaze. Hao Ren had never seen anything like it on this planet before.

The shape and distribution of the various buildings are reminiscent of militarized facilities, so the first glance at them comes to the idea that this may be a fortress. But where is there a place to build such a fortress in this completely deserted parish of Beinz, where is there a deep pit except for the cliffs?

Lily craned her neck and looked around, and suddenly she noticed that there was something out of place in the landscape outside: there was not a single mountain in sight from here, and in the mountainous Beinz region, you should be able to see a certain mountain wherever you looked. She was surprised: "What about the mountains? ”

"Below us," Ophra smiled, leading the group to a round platform next to Half Moon Square, which was surrounded by a railing and a large hole in the middle.

"Welcome to 'Hoditheus', our air fortress, which was designed and built by the Pope and twelve royal magisters, and which rose from the ground in less than a month," Oprah's voice was full of admiration, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen...... Of course, it is limited to the category of man-made objects. ”

"Wow......" Lily stared at her for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed, "Great! ”

"Is it still 'good' compared to your stuff?" "I've only seen this thing in my life, but I've heard from Betsy that there are more magnificent wonders in other worlds than humans can imagine, and even cities that can fly between stars...... I haven't seen it, but as you can imagine, Hodisius is too primitive compared to those things. ”

"Still fabulous!" Lily jumped hard, "Magic Floating City! That's a great name! ”

"This husky is used to startling," Vivien pressed Lily's head to silence her, but she herself was surprised, "how did you do that?" I've learned about your magic techniques...... It seems that your air force is still in the stage of fighting on griffins and flying with mages, and the only aircraft is dwarven steam airships, the kind that refuels once a hundred kilometers. How did this suddenly create the Floating City? ”

"Thanks to the pits down there," Ophra pointed to the feet of the group, "those crystals, they have magical properties: they only need to be treated properly, and they can maintain some kind of magical effect for a long time, so we have created long-lasting suspended stones, the shiny stone bricks you see. The 'enamel' on the surface of those stone bricks is processed with crystal dust. The entire Floating Fortress is made of levitating stones, and then used hundreds of magic arrays inscribed on the outer walls to maintain posture and generate power, it requires a hundred high-level mages and thousands of mage apprentices to control it, and we don't know much about the usage and supporting tactics of this levitation fortress, but in any case, it is already one of the most powerful symbols of force in Halletta, at least I think so. ”

"Just those crystals?" Hao Renwan didn't expect that the crystal pit he had hit with one shot would come in such a big handy, "I'll ...... I knew there was going to be a bunch of trouble going to the surface when I fired at the surface. ”

Ovra looked at Hao Ren: "Is it against the rules of your organization to leave these crystal mines for us?" ”

Hao Ren thought for a moment and poked the number on his shoulder: "I remember not to violate the rules, right?" According to the situation at the time. ”

The number jù terminal slammed on the door of Hao Ren's head: "This kind of thing also asks the machine?" Did you read all the dogs in your employee handbook? ”

Lily's ears pricked up: "Nonsense, the landlord never let me read his manual!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Hao Ren blinked: "...... Well, I think there should be no violations. Although it seems to affect your development a little, it was to prevent the extinction of your civilization at the time, and I remember that this is an exception. ”

Hao Ren didn't say half a sentence later: a planetary-level civilization created a magical floating city, which is estimated to be a big deal in their own opinion, but it is estimated that no one pays attention to it on the side of the Time and Space Administration, and where can they violate the law again......

The magical floating city of Hoditius dominates the sky of the Beinz region, looking down like a giant beast on the sacred mountain where the cultists are hiding, and at this time, the brain monster that seems to have fallen into a desperate situation...... What exactly are you planning? (To be continued......)
