Chapter 40: An anxious battle(1/2)
Under the cover of the Golem Legion, the army of the Ghost City rushed over.
At the same time, the gargoyles that were covered with sunlight also hovered in the sky, spreading their bat wings, stretching out their sharp claws, turning into predators, ready to go with the army.
The army in Mokou Town felt the heavy footsteps of the stone golem and the flesh golem, and their faces suddenly became ugly.
It seemed as if every step of these consummate golems stepped heavily on their hearts.
Even the Patriarch Tysonde of the Church of Knowledge and the captain of the Marshal Legion of Warcraft Legion also showed a look of worry on their faces.
Obviously, as a spellcaster, he naturally has the first say in the evaluation of a creature like a golem.
Although the golem is made of simple material clay, flesh, steel or stone, it has amazing power and physical and magic resistance.
Moreover, they have no ambitions, no food, no pain or regret. As long as the driving energy is sufficient, they can act as an unstoppable crusher on the battlefield.
Because their meaning is to follow the instructions of the creator and complete the requirements of protection or attack for them.
Seeing that these unstoppable constituent golems were about to approach their magic attack range, Brian's face not only showed horror or shock, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.
His eyes looked at the group of constituent creatures made of stones and flesh, and a hint of unpredictable joy appeared.
As the golem and the gargoyle got closer, Brian moved his mind and sent a signal to prepare for action through magic.
At the same time, the moment the signal is released.
Ru Yin, the president of the Silver White Scholar Association on the top of a mountain not far from the battlefield, suddenly opened her eyes and immediately issued an order to her companions gathered around her: "Activate the structural shielding array!"
As soon as he finished speaking, six members from the Silver White Scholars quickly surrounded a circle of already-depicted magic circles.
In the center of the magic circle is a small obedian octave built of a large number of precious gems, secret objects and materials shining with magical auras.
At this time, the spire that reflected a dark blue luster in the sun was gathering a dark blue aura at the sharp spire with the launch of the spells by six wizards who were proficient in protection and spells at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As wisps of magic energy continued to gather on the top of the tower, the Obsidian minaret suddenly emitted an invisible ripple like some kind of signal transmitter.
"Buzz!"
This rippling wave of water spread rapidly in a buzzing sound.
"Puff!Puff!Puff!Puff..."
Immediately afterwards, the bodies of the six wizards trembled at the same time, some fell to the ground on their backs, and some swayed violently, almost falling down.
The corners of their mouths couldn't help but feel a trace of scarlet blood, and their faces turned sickly and sluggish.
"It's a bit too hard to force this magic array to drive it."
Seeing the situation in front of him, the hanging heart of the moon elf mage Ru Yin finally fell steadily, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he finally activated it."
She quickly turned her slightly nervous gaze to the battlefield not far away, and tested what effect the efforts of her and her group would bring.
On the battlefield, the steadily moving stone golem and flesh golem's eyes emitted a light representing the spark of souls suddenly faded away, and stopped in place without moving.
To make matters worse, even the gargoyles hovering in the sky were affected the same.
The group of gargoyles with demonic appearance and malicious intentions suddenly slapped, and they all fell towards the troops in the ghost city below like dumplings.
In an instant, more than 500 gargoyles with the same size as humans, like huge stones, smashed violently into the crowd, bursting with screams of surprise and pain.
"What the hell is going on?"
Seeing that all his structural troops had lost control and stopped in place, the commander-in-chief of the ghost city, Galon, almost roared at a fourth-level model ghost mage beside him.
"The crystal cores of the golem and the gargoyle were all blocked by some strange force." The ghost mage's expression sank, and a trace of shock floated in his scarlet eyes. "For the first time, I have seen someone who can actually block the crystal core of the golem."
"Now is not the time to gain knowledge. Hurry up and find a way to restore the function of the golem." Looking at the contemplative ghost mage, Garon reminded.
Then, he quickly dodged sideways, and a gargoyle falling from the sky wiped his scalp and fell to the ground, splitting.
"If you want to restore the golem, you just need to find the source of the problem." The ghost mage said thoughtfully, "I need some time to find out what's happening around me."
After saying that, he set up a defensive field for himself, released detection magic, and found the source of shielding energy around him.
Looking at his own achievements, Brian nodded with satisfaction.
Making a golem begins with building its body, and this job requires exquisite carving, stone art, iron art or surgical skills.
After making the body with clay, flesh, steel or stone, the maker of the golem begins the most critical step, which is to inject essence from the earth element plane into it.
These tiny sparks of life do not contain any memory, personality, nor any history, but just a pure motivation for its initiation and obedience.
This process will bind the spirit to the artificial body and obey the will of the golemmaker.
To put it simply, it is to provide a crystal core (soul) that can control the body for the construction of golems.
However, because the elemental spirits from the earth element plane are too difficult and costly, some wizards of the Necrotic School use soul closure techniques to condense the souls of the killed mortal creatures into alternative soul crystals.
Although the soul crystal does not contain any memory or personality like the elemental spirit, the influence of low-level constructed creatures like stone golems, flesh golems or clay golems has the same effect as none.
Gradually, when making low-level golems, the less expensive soul crystal completely replaced the elemental spirit from the earth element plane.
The shielding array arranged by Brian uses this seemingly inconspicuous weakness of the golem, temporarily blocking the functions of all constructed creatures.
This is a shielding magic array developed by a wizard in the late game, with the rise of the Arcane Empire, many forces were deeply harmed by the construction legion.
However, in addition to the excessive money spent on arrangement, this magic array also has one of the most obvious disadvantages.
Its shielding effect is not different from each other. The effect of high-level constructed creatures such as steel golems is equivalent to none.
But this is not a problem for Brian, because it has played a role enough to turn the situation around at this moment.
After all, more than 200 stone golems and flesh golems are like a group of troops holding light weapons in his eyes. When they encounter flat-pushed tanks, they have no chance of winning against them.
He knew that in the face of such a strange situation, the enemy must send high-level spell casters to study the root cause of the problem.
After they discover the hidden wizards of the Silver Scholar Society, they will definitely attack wildly, destroy the obsidian minaret, and restore the function of the golem.
Naturally, he would not leave them with such research time.
At the moment when the constructed creatures lost control, he had ordered the Purple Dragon Knight and the war mage on his side to launch a full-scale counterattack.
In the battle mage army, except for their captain Marik, the remaining fifteen people immediately divided into three teams tacitly. Under the cover of the Purple Dragon Guards, five people arranged a ring magic array in groups and began to cast spells quickly.
The ring magic circle is a magic circle of the energy-shaping school developed by Sel's red-robed wizards. By using this magic circle, the caster can allow his allies to transmit their own power to him to increase the power of the magic.
The more people there are, the stronger the power of the increase, and up to nine people can increase the caster.
——"Four-ring spells: Gathering energy and Explosion Flame!"
A surging flame energy gathered wildly in front of the three battle mages. With the continuous guidance of the caster, the rolling flame gradually became solid, like a lava fireball shining in the sun.
"Boom!"
Three big fireballs were like meteors falling to the ground, and the roar sounded throughout the fields, and the earth was trembling.
Accompanied by the violent explosion, the scorching flames ran around, and the flames on the ground licked all the ignitable things.
In the troops of the Ghost City, the debris and fragments of gargoyles and golems were blown away, as if countless sharp arrows were shot out.
Sharp screams came one after another, and even if a few quick-reacting ghost mages released "Spell Ineffective Enchantment" and "Elemental Shield", they were shocked by the violent flames and vomited blood.
"Energy-gathering Explosion Flame" is a four-ring energy-shaping spell. It is a group attack spell whose casting time is, the higher the accumulated energy damage.
From the power of the explosion, we can see that with the blessing of the ring magic circle, this spell has accumulated maximum damage by the war mages.
Three large fireballs instantly cleared a vacuum from the troops of the Ghost City, destroying nearly a hundred of their soldiers and five or six spell casters who could not dodge.
At the same time, the people in Yinhun City were awakened from the shock of the golem being out of control, began to calm down, and organized in an orderly manner to fight back.
For a moment, the defender's magic of the shaping magic and the invader's counterattack were fought back and forth, fighting extremely fiercely.
The knights and warriors on both sides also approached each other at the fastest speed in the magic bombardment. In a moment, they were like two torrents of steel colliding together.
——"Deep Dark Art!"
A ghost mage who had reached the fourth level of strength murmured a spell and quickly raised his hand. A large shadow exuding cold energy blocked the entire battlefield and fell into darkness where he could not see his fingers.
——"Summoning Technique of Shadow!"
——"Undead creature summoning technique!"
——"Singing Alliance in Another World!"
——"Summon the Demon Legion!"
At the same time, spells and auras appeared in the darkness, accompanied by portals.
The dense ghosts, banshees, ghouls, zombies, mummies, and even two flying winged night shadows appeared on the battlefield and rushed towards the Purple Dragon Guards.
What's even more crazy is that there is another ghost wizard who actually summoned a group of uncontrolled abyss demons.
Two berserks turned the spear head without hesitation and rushed towards the ghost mage's troops, causing a wave of curses and screams.
As the magic hit, Tysonde, the pastor of the God of Knowledge Church, released his magical technique that he had prepared for a long time without any weakness.
——"Eight Rings Divine Technique: Yang Yan Explosion!"
When Tysonde lifted his scepter and pointed at the troops in the shadows of the Ghost City, a dazzling bright light suddenly erupted.
The light, with a suffocating power, directly purified all the shadows, spirits, and undead creatures within a radius of 500 meters.
At the same time, the mages and warriors who turned into ghosts were exposed to strong light, and they also made creepy sizzling sounds, as if they were baking them on fire.
As an eight-ring magic, "Yang Yan Explosion" has the effect of fighting evil creatures and undead creatures, and is sometimes more obvious than the Nine-ring magic.
