Section 557 Fierce battle at the head of the city
Poor Dao drove the flying sword, along the transportation line of the skeleton craftsman, all the way to the lightning, although he also saw a lot of workshops on the road, but the anxious poor road did not stop to check. After rushing thousands of miles like this, I finally saw the shadow of the castle of the dead. Poor Road floated in the air and began to look down on the unimaginably large castle, no, maybe it should be called her city.
The city is surprisingly large, situated on a vast expanse of flat land with a slight protrusion. Its walls enclosed a standard circle, and the diameter of the city was definitely more than fifty li. The walls of the city are fifty meters high and more than thirty meters thick, and the walls are patrolled by peculiar groups of soldiers from time to time.
These soldiers are three meters tall, covered in pitch-black metal, and are wearing battle armor and carrying huge weapons. It turns out that the huge weapons I saw were made for them! If you look at them alone, they look very much like magic dolls. Magic dolls were the highest alchemical achievement of antiquity, and these large creatures made entirely of steel were machines created for killing.
It's just that their cost is too high, even the rich people of the Great Magister level can't afford to use a few, and in fact, the precision parts in their bodies are particularly easy to break, and the power consumes magic crystals, and using them to fight is really a complete money-burning behavior. So, although their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Golden Warriors. But there aren't many places that really come in handy.
As a result, they were gradually phased out, so that the manufacturing methods were slowly lost for a long time. But I met them here today, and I was amazed at who was so generous as to use these guys as a patrol? The number of magic dolls on the entire city wall alone is enough to make thousands.
This amount is so shocking that even the Holy See can't afford to make so many dolls, so I'm sure this thing is definitely not the puppet I've seen on the data, maybe it's an improved model, otherwise, just the magic crystals consumed by these puppets walking back and forth can make me bankrupt.
However, Poor Dao can see that the combat effectiveness of these guys is definitely not low. They walked in unison, indicating that there was a very unified command. The movement is natural and smooth, and there is no stiff feeling, which means that their joints are very flexible. Moreover, being able to walk so easily with such heavy armor also reflects the strength of these guys on the other side.
In the very center of the city, there is an incomparably majestic mage tower, about five hundred meters high. It is the tallest building in the city, and it looks down arrogantly on any corner of the city. There are many doors in the tower of the mage's tower, and from time to time one or two flying gargoyles or black-robed mages enter and exit them.
Around the mage's step stood four identical huge chimneys, all about three hundred meters high. It's the second highest level in the city, and black smoke is constantly rising from the chimney, obviously. They are the magicians that create the Death Dome.
Poor Road then looked inside the city and found that the city was quite lively, which can be described as a lot of traffic. The streets are full of skeletons carrying goods to and fro, and there are occasional puppets walking in between. Although the streets are bustling, there doesn't seem to be a single shop in the big city, and it feels like it's a big factory.
In this city, you don't see theaters, gladiatorial arenas. Shops, even houses, almost every part of the city is occupied by mage towers or alchemy labs. Therefore, almost every building here has huge chimneys sticking out, and from time to time smoke of various colors comes out, and from the experience of poor roads, there are definitely people who perform alchemical operations. What a strange city!
Poor Dao was in the gap of emotion, and suddenly his consciousness felt something, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed a person from the void, forgetting his worries, and she also came here at this time. After being caught by me, I forgot my worries and said, "I hate it, I found out to you again, can't you deliberately let people go home once?"
"We are in danger, what if we are close to the enemy?" Poor Dao smiled bitterly: "Besides, I have already asked you to pull, I estimate that it is you, otherwise, I would have slapped it earlier!"
"Hmph!" said dissatisfiedly: "The Yuan Shen Zhen Lai Pi practiced by your Oriental Dao is obviously not as strong as mine, but you can always discover me with foresight. Look at Athena, this time from scratch, she actually focused on majoring in Oriental Taoism, and practiced the one Qi and Three Qings, which is simply unreasonable. Damn, why didn't I have all the magic in my memory at the beginning?
"Hehe, don't you also practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? Now with Wuxingzhu, your defense is much stronger than Athena, and it's not too much of a loss, right?" Poor Dao said with a smile and a smile.
"What's the use of high light defense?" said dissatisfiedly, "I still can't beat Athena, I'm a goddess of wisdom, how can I lose to a godhead who knows how to fight?"
"Oh my God, do you even have to compare yourself?" Poor Dao smiled bitterly: "You Westerners are really thinking about it, hehe, it's narrow enough!"
"We call it competition, and you don't understand it when I told you!" "Forget the worry and say proudly: "It's not going to be good, have you found anything?"
"Discover Dara!" Poor Dao told her what he had seen along the way, and then described the story of the Lost City as well. In the end, Poor Dao sighed with emotion: "The owner of the city below is really a genius, I think I have to accept it if I have the opportunity, at least I have to make friends with them." ”
In the eyes of our Western gods, weak people who have no strength are not qualified to make friends with us. Forget worry smiled and said: "In fact, you Orientals are similar, but you are too hypocritical, although your mouth is full of benevolence and morality. But in fact, hehe, when you are the three evils, aren't you also stealing what you should steal, beating what you should beat, and killing what you should kill?"
"I'm principled. It's not nonsense. Forget it, you don't understand after telling you, the difference in thinking between our two sides is too great. Poor Dao smiled bitterly: "But this time you have to listen to me, don't bully others." ”
"Why?" asked curiously, "When will you become a philanthropist?"
"I'm not a philanthropist, it's just that the relationship is complicated, I can't force it!" Poor Dao explained: "One is that there are many goblin craftsmen in my territory, and there must be a deep connection with the goblin undead here, since I have given a great favor to the goblin clan, there is really no need to offend the goblin undead here." ”
"And the goblins are a very grateful people. Maybe I can make friends with them through that relationship, and if they are willing to work with me when the time comes, that's better than anything else. You don't have to be a subordinate, and it's the same with friends. Poor Dao went on to explain, "Besides, the lich is, after all, a subordinate of the god of the underworld. If we had done it on our own, the god would never have come after us for the sake of a small lich, but it would have made him very unhappy if he had damaged his ground. ”
"Maybe we'll have a chance to join forces with him to deal with the angels and the birdmen in the future, it's really not good to make the relationship too stiff now!" Poor Dao smiled, "So we'd better get in touch with them." Let's see what their purpose is in this city? If I'm not mistaken, eighty percent of them are going to seek revenge on the demons, hehe. Anyway, it doesn't matter what we do, as long as they don't provoke me, I'm too lazy to know!"
"Well, what you said also makes sense, by the way, didn't we get the news that the demons were deliberately released by the angels?" Maybe they can turn the target of their hatred to those birdmen?"
"Hehe, it's still you, the goddess of wisdom, treacherous!" Poor Dao smiled: "Xiaodao, I'm willing to bow down!"
"Nasty!" Forget scolded. Then she wanted to say something, but suddenly, she found that there was chaos below. I saw a figure running from a distance, this guy was like a flea, jumping dozens or even hundreds of meters high, able to cross thousands of kilometers of distance, after landing, a piece of dust was shaken, and the ground was shaking, which alarmed those skeletons at once, and they put down the minecart and chased after the guy.
We knew at a glance that the guy who dared to be so arrogant must be Gao Sen. He listened to me, and didn't fight back at the skeletons that caught up with him, anyway, as soon as he jumped, those skeletons would chase for a long time, and a few strokes could throw the skeletons away. Therefore, Gao Sen didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he just hurried with his head down, from entering our sight to appearing at the city gate, but a few vertical jumps were enough.
With a loud "bang", Gao Sen stood firmly at the gate of the city gate, and the shock wave of his landing shook the skeletons that came in and out, and they fell to the ground. And then Gao Sen arrogantly released his powerful momentum, which scared those skeletons so much that they couldn't even move, and they couldn't lie down at all.
Gao Sen's uninvited arrival immediately broke the original order of the city, his momentum was so amazing, not to mention that the whole city found out, I am afraid that even thousands of miles away can be detected, he is clearly deliberate. Of course, Poor Dao knew that he was contacting us, telling us that he had found a place, meaning to ask us to go and meet him. But the question is, there's really no need to make such a big move, right?
Of course, after Gao Sen's momentum was released, I felt a stream of spiritual power staggering through the air, and it was obvious that those necromancers had also received the news of Gao Sen's arrival at the same time and were preparing for battle. I saw that the magic puppets on the city head quickly moved, and all of them stood on the city head, and at the same time, a large number of puppets quickly appeared on the city wall, including a group of specially dressed magic dolls.
These special dolls are no more than two meters tall, have no armor on their bodies, and hold a wand in their hands. After seeing it, Poor Dao and Forget Worry were shocked, could it be a magician? Mixed with an iron mage? This is also incredible. After these puppets came up, they quickly stood all over the city wall, and they all stood in full array.
At the same time, all the magic towers in the city lit up almost at the same time, apparently all activated the magic protection and officially entered the combat state. The skeletons on the street were soon gone. They all ran into the nearest building and hid, lest they be unjustified for a while. Poor Michi made a rough estimate, from the discovery of Gao Sen's appearance to the completion of the battle preparations for the entire city, it only took a few minutes to work.
"This idiot!" Forget scolded angrily, "I originally wanted to go in quietly to have a look, but now he messed it all up." What now? Do you want to save him? I don't think he's a match for the people of Yicheng?"
The matter has come to this, and the poor road has no choice but to say, "Alas, leave him alone first, let him suffer a little, otherwise he will never know how thick the sky is!"
"It's okay, after he is beaten half to death, let's go out and save him!" Forget worry then smiled: "Hehe, we can take this opportunity to see what these undead are capable of!"
"Yes. That's what I thought too!" Poor Dao smiled.
"Haha!" In the middle of the laughter of the poor road and forgetting the worries, the battle below also officially began.
The first to strike were the puppets with wands, and there were thousands of puppets in the front of the city wall, and they suddenly raised their wands in unison at the same time, and then a thousand basin-sized earth fire bombs flew to the same focus. Gao Sen. According to the estimation of the poor Dao, these Hellfire Bullets all have the level of eight or nine level spells, and if more than a thousand are added together, they are almost close to the power of the thirteenth level forbidden spell.
Although Gao Sen is also a cultivator of the Dark Fire, it does not mean that he can be immune to the Dark Fire. It's just that the defense against the Hellfire Land is higher, and the energy of the same attribute can also cause damage to each other. Therefore, Gao Sen didn't dare to slack off when he saw such a large piece of heart, and hurriedly used his fighting spirit to protect his body. Then a vertical dodge dodges.
Just listening to a loud sound, the place where Gao Sen was standing was blown out of a large crater with a radius of hundreds of tens of meters, and the skeletons that were affected were directly blown into powder, and the others were also washed out by the powerful shock wave. If Gao Sen is hard to the ground, even if he is not bombarded into slag, he will definitely have to take off a layer of skin.
Even Gao Sen was not comfortable in the air, the shock wave was too ruthless, pushing him out hundreds of meters, and the huge concussion shook Gao Sen a little tinnitus. Takamori shook his head when he landed. He looked at those puppet mages with annoyed eyes, but instead of rushing up, he first yelled at the sky: "Damn, this can be regarded as hurting my strength, right? Can I fight back?"
Hehe, I can't see that this guy is still cute, I said that if I don't ask him to fight back, I really won't fight back, so obedient honest people don't pull much now. And he could guess that I was hiding nearby, so I didn't seem to be a stupid person. Poor Dao then said to him: "It's okay to fight, just destroy the point, don't be too ruthless, it doesn't matter if you get hurt, but it's better not to take your life." ”
"Roar, that's easy!" Gao Sen immediately shouted excitedly after hearing this, and then roared angrily: "Break it for me!" After speaking, he shook his hands and fired back at the mage of the city wall with a fighting spirit bullet. In the time of one breath, Gao Sen relied on his strong fighting spirit and released thousands of fighting energy bombs one after another to attack those mages.
With the strength of Takamori's Seraphim, even an attack scattered into a thousand parts is still not to be underestimated, at least in Takamori's opinion, breaking the outer skin of those puppets and destroying the internal results is absolutely more than enough. But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected change, and those fighting bullets were all stopped by the tall ordinary puppets without exception, so that the magic puppets who cast spells were not harmed at all.
Of course, those ordinary puppets also paid a heavy price, they all used weapons to resist Dou Qi bombs first, and then used their bodies to block. As a result, those fighting bullets were finally consumed after destroying the puppet's weapons and armor. This ensures the safety of ordinary dolls. In addition to the destroyed battle equipment, the ordinary puppets were also knocked off a few times by the huge thrust of the Douqi Bullet, but there was no major problem, and their skin was thick enough anyway.
We didn't expect them to be able to form a cooperation, and it was so tacit and subtle, obviously the same as the embodiment was ready. Of course, Gao Sen was very dissatisfied with such a result, and he jumped more than 100 meters high with a roar and pounced on the mage puppet on the city wall again.
Obviously, this time he learned to be obedient, and he didn't blindly release the fighting qi bomb, because he saw that every mage in the city was protecting a lot of dolls, and if he put it, he would also fight ordinary puppet bodyguards, and he couldn't hurt the mage at all, so in order not to waste his fighting energy, he was determined to do it himself.
Although Gao Sen jumped high like a flea, the target was also very obvious, and it was simply a live target. Immediately, the fire on the city wall was fully opened, and more than a thousand dark fire bombs smashed again. However, Gao Sen is definitely not stupid, he had already thought of this when he jumped up, in fact, this was too deliberately exposing the target, in order to attract this wave of attacks.
When the puppet mage's attack was issued, Gao Sen suddenly changed direction in the air, and he was urged with all his fighting spirit, as if he had been kicked by someone in the air, and quickly moved dozens of meters sideways, just dodging all the Hellfire Bombs. Then, like an eagle descending from the sky, he swooped down on the mages at the head of the city. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the mage's lack of time to cast spells again, and kick up the city to fight in close combat.
It's a pity that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel! I don't know how many years it took for this city to be built on such a scale, and when you look at the super tall city walls and super strong dolls, you can see how much effort people have put into defense? How can he easily step on the top of the city?
