Chapter 67 Before the War

On the way I came, I heard that the thing was very big. My three giant dragons and Ziyue's Tianhuo, a total of four giant dragons could barely carry one thing. They transported four big guys back in four times. Although I was prepared, I was still shocked when I saw the real thing.

Four high towers with postmodern design style stand on the square in front of the Juling Tower. The huge magic machine is about 200 meters high, and the square base is almost as big as 8 basketball courts. The square base is a part that is almost the same as a circular table. However, because the top and bottom of the circular table are similar to the bottom, it is basically not easy to see. On the top of the circular table, there is a long radio tower-like thing, and this little thing has a long lightning rod-like thing pointing straight to the sky. In the middle of the machine, there are eight metal forks that protrude upwards, all of which bend upwards in a certain arc, which looks like an auxiliary part of the needle tip above.

"What does this thing do?" I asked Zi Yue, the only one who went to see the Dark Goddess, "Do they have no instructions or something?"

"I don't know! I was preparing to carry the cannon at that time, but Arni said that this thing is more useful, so we moved it back. We rushed to it too quickly and didn't have time to ask. I thought you know how to use it!"

"I didn't make it, why did I know?"

"Aren't you familiar with Arni?"

"But this is a new product. The Dark Temple has just been built and is still being experimented with!"

"What should we do now? For these four big guys, we didn't bring back a single cannon!"

"What else can I do? Find a way to start it up!" I turned around and called several of my demon pets and demon servants over. "Do you know how to use this thing?"

"It looks like a protective cover! But we were not of this model before!" said a demon knight.

Ling also said: "It's indeed a protective cover, look!" She pointed to the eight metal forks on the top. "There are citrine and co-acting runes on it, which must be the equipment that generates a defensive force field!"

"This seems to be a starter slot!" Emmenis pointed to a rune-filled circle on the base. "If that's right!" she pressed down as she said.

With a slight sound, the place where Emmenis pressed fell, and then all the runes next to it lit up. The entire circular area full of runes shrank into the inside, and then moved to the side and closed. What was left at that position was a cylindrical depression with a radius of 20 cm. The bottom of the depression was still a hole, but it was smaller.

"According to our Dark Temple's habit, this should be a starter!" Ling looked at the hole and said, "Master, please put your hand in and try it."

I nodded, put my hand into the depression tentatively, and then reached towards the small black hole, but I couldn't reach it. The magic dragon's guard was too big! I took off the guard and tried again, and now I went in. Because it was too deep, nothing could be seen in the small hole. I stretched my hand all the way in, and finally I finally grinded something, like a stick. I touched it carefully and seemed to have some patterns, which felt like a handle. I grabbed it and tried to pull it out, but it was very successful, and it came out in one go. The handle was pulled out of the hole in one breath until it was level with the hole. At this time, the machine actually rang.

"For the first time the city defense system is started, please confirm that this is the final placement position, then push the operating handle into 20 cm, then rotate 90 degrees clockwise, and the machine will be fully started. If this is not the final placement, please push the operating handle back to the starting position, and repeat this operation after the placement is completed!"

What I just said was not the system prompt, but the sound of this machine. I didn’t expect it to be so advanced! I need to confirm the final placement, which means that the thing cannot be moved as soon as it is unfolded! "Eagle, where is the best place for this thing?"

"I have no objection, urban design is not my specialty!"

"Since it is a defensive facility, it is best to place it on four corners of the city, so that it can cover the entire city's scope!" Sumei suggested.

"Then move them to four corners!"

My command is very simple, but moving these giants is not easy at all. The four dragons can barely mention this thing with the cooperation of other magic pets. Finally, all four machines were installed in place, and I started to try to start it!

Grasp the handle, pull it out, and then hear the same prompt. Push it back 20 cm, and I can't master it well, but I have some strength on my hand, and it will automatically slide in as soon as I get to the position. Sure enough, the resistance on the handle loosens, and the handle rotates 90 degrees, and another sound appears!

"The initial startup was successful and the connection point was verified. This system could not work alone. At least three bodies were required to start the system at the same time!" At the end of the sound, the machine in front of us began to react. First, we heard a vibrating sound, and then all the citrines on the entire machine lit up and made a buzzing sound. The 8 metal forks standing up halfway also began to rotate slowly, and circles of halos began to appear, and the entire machine was gradually surrounded by halos. The launch tower at the top of the machine actually spread outwards and turned into an umbrella structure, only the long metal needle in the middle was still standing there. As the buzzing sound increased, everyone could hear that the machine was about to reach its limit, and suddenly an arc flashed across the entire machine. The arc quickly climbed onto the umbrella launch structure, and then there was a sound of discharge. The entire umbrella structure suddenly shook, and a light yellow beam of light hit the sky. Until then, the machine was started.

There is no way, one machine cannot take effect, everyone is scattered, one person is one! I will drive one, Ying is in charge, and Zi Yue is in charge, so that it can be faster! I got in the first place, turned on the machine and turned to look at the other two corners. More than ten seconds later, a beam of light on the other side of Zi Yue is in charge soared into the sky. At this time, three machines have started, and the first machine suddenly fired a light curtain here. When the light curtain contacted my machine, the machine on my side immediately fired a light curtain to Zi Yue. After receiving the light curtain, the machine reflected a thread back to the first machine. The three machines actually pulled out a triangle wall of light!

The fourth machine located on the diagonal of the first machine under the Eagle suddenly lit up the light column, and then it fired a light curtain to the machines on both sides at the same time. The machine under the charge of Zi Yue and I immediately closed the light curtain across the middle of the city after receiving the light curtain. Now the four light curtains have completely surrounded the city. But this is not over!

The entire light curtain suddenly began to expand to the periphery of the city. They left the machine and surrounded the city wall. It was not until the light curtain was about 20 meters away from the city wall that the light curtain was completely stable. I thought that this light yellow light curtain would stabilize like this, but it suddenly disappeared!

Ying and Zi Yue appeared next to me through the teleportation array (there are many teleportation points on the wall of Aisinger), and the sudden disappearance of the light curtain made both of them confused. "Why did it disappear?"

"I don't know either!" I really don't know why it suddenly disappeared!

"Isn't it broken?" Ziyue looked at the machine next to me. The citrine was still lit, the machine was still buzzing, and the metal forks were still rotating slowly, and the light column on the top did not disappear, but the light curtain was gone!

Sumei's words suddenly woke us up. "Can we enter the energy-saving mode? These things are driven by magic crystals. Isn't it a waste to keep them open?"

"Although I don't know if it is, it's very likely!"

“But how do we know if it is working?”

"Why should we find a few other guilds to experiment?" Ying's idea is very special! "As long as he is not a member of the guild, no matter how many people he launches an attack on the city, he should be considered as siege. As long as this thing is activated, it will be considered successful!"

"But who are you looking for?"

"This is not simple! I just helped Hongyue complete such an important task. It's not a pity to find a few people to help! You guys are waiting, I'll go now!"

Now I realized that there are so many teleportation arrays, and they can be transmitted everywhere. Although most teleportation arrays are set to limit the use of specific groups, I am the city lord, and I can use all teleportation arrays! When I arrived directly at Fengxian City, Hongyue was about to enter the teleportation array. She happened to be going to see my Aisinger. She happened to be with many subordinates, and these people had all kinds of professions, so I happened to pull them all back!

Ziyue and the others were startled by me. Although I said I would come back soon, it was only two minutes before and it was indeed a bit outrageous!

The experiment method is very simple. First, let Hongyue's subordinates gather outside the city. Hongyue and I open the system to apply at the same time, and then apply for an exercise. This model is specially designed for discussion between guilds. In order to test their city's defense capabilities, many guilds will ask other guilds to experiment. Guilds who help siege can get guild reputation value rewards, and the city-guarding guilds generally pay some fees as rewards. In order to be realistic in siege without causing guilds to be collectively discontinued due to large casualties.

For a major loss, the system created this exercise mode. The presidents of both sides can start after applying. During the exercise, the dead personnel will really die at that time. Not only will they drop the level but they will still explode the equipment. Both sides can put away the equipment that the other party explodes and use it immediately. However, after the exercise, the level is automatically restored, and the equipment will automatically return to the owner before the exercise. Basically, the attribute restoration! The drugs, ammunition and other things consumed during the exercise will be restored later, and even the damaged urban facilities will be automatically restored!

Hongyue and I applied for a 30-minute exercise time. Because the city status will be restored after the exercise, we only applied for 30 minutes in order not to affect Aisinger's construction!

The first test was a dark magician brought by a red moon. He first used the most powerful attack magic. After a long 10-second preparation (10 seconds in actual combat is already very long) a huge black fireball appeared above his head. The fireball roared towards the newly built city gate. When it was still 20 meters away from the city gate, the fire suddenly stopped in the air. When we stood on the city wall, we could clearly see that the huge fireball hit the yellow light curtain. No matter what, it at least proved that this machine was normal. If someone attacked it, it would automatically intercept it!

The fireball flew forward desperately in the light curtain, but the light curtain was stretched and sunken like a plastic film, but it was not broken. Sweat beads appeared on the mage's head, but the light curtain still steadily resisted the fireball's entry. The mage finally couldn't hold on and suddenly fell to the ground. The black fireball lost control and immediately lost its power. The light curtain was very elastic and immediately returned to its original form. The fireball was bounced back! However, it did not hit the mage who fired it, but exploded farther away. It seemed that the light curtain only had tension and could not achieve accurate rebound attacks!

I used a private chat to contact Hongyue outside the city. "Try letting the mage put a magic that does not require control!"

"OK!"

Another mage used a thunder and lightning magic, but this time it was very accurate. The lightning rebounded immediately as soon as it touched the light curtain, and it accurately blasted the launcher out. Now I understand that the light curtain rebounded and the attacks that rely on inertia were very accurate, but the spell that could be manipulated by fireballs was not good!

Then there was the experimental archer's attack, but no bow could penetrate the light curtain. They all flew back and stuck on the shield of the shield player who had been prepared long ago. If the shield had not blocked it, the archer would have felt his arrow!

The warrior's attack is more interesting. The weapon will bounce off directly, but because the warrior's weapon is caught, it will not hurt himself even if it rebounds. However, when the warrior tries to cross the light curtain, the effect of the candy appears again. The light curtain is pulled out of a depression of five or six meters, but it is impossible to cross it until the warrior has no endurance and is pushed back to its original position by the light curtain!

Our discussion believes that this thing has almost all-round defense, but it is obviously unlikely that it has perfect defense facilities. If it is really as unavailable as today's experiment, then isn't the city invincible? Sumei's final estimate is quite decent. She believes that this thing has a defensive limit. If the attack is relatively dense, the defense will decrease. If thousands of mages attack at the same time, there will be some magical crossing the defense system. However, it is not clear how strong the attack power is required to cross the light curtain. We have nothing to go to so many people to experiment!

After the exercise, I worked with everyone for the whole afternoon of urban construction. In the evening, I drove everyone off the line and went to bed. Tomorrow it will be a siege. How can I not rest well? After dinner, I came up alone to watch the night, sitting on the top of the spiritual gathering tower in the center of Aisinger, watching the "big beast" sleeping soundly under the night. Everything around me was so quiet, and now I realized that loneliness may not be bitter!

It started to rain at around 1:00 in the middle of the night, but I didn't go to hide from the rain. The magic dragon armor can be used as a diving. What are the fears of a little rain? The lightning flashes in the sky kept hitting all parts of the city, but there were many lightning rods in the city, so it would not cause any losses! Of course, the main target of the lightning strike is the Spirit Gathering Tower, but the lightning cannon itself is like a lightning rod and cannot hurt me at all!

A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the sky, and there was a group of people moving in the dense forest outside the city. That was not my Seventh Corps. They were arranged by me to act as laborers at the construction site in the city. Outside the city was a unit that I had never seen before.

I quickly got back into the tower, and there was no time to go down the stairs. I jumped down from the middle of the spiral stairs, spread my wings to control the falling speed, and set off at a high speed. After landing, I ran out of the hall immediately. "Lucky, the plague, get up, go out with me!" I woke up the sleeping dragon and hurried out of the city, and asked them to take me and Ling and others to fly out.

Vina's first reaction was that she thought that the Temple of Light had sent someone to catch her, so I told her not to worry. "Don't worry, the people who came from the Temple of Light were not from the Temple of Light! The war was imminent, and they would not go out easily, and this was the curse of the earth. It was night again, and the forces of Light were absolutely suppressed, and they would die if they came!"

At this time, we could clearly see those people, there were many cavalrymen, but most of them were walking. There were many giant trailers pulled by eight mammoths behind. There seemed to be a lot of things on the car. Although they were covered with black canvas, the deep rut marks on the ground meant that these cars were pulling tons of goods.

Judging from their excellent equipment and uniform clothing, they are at least certainly not players. No guild has such a large neat lineup. It is OK to let Hongyue or Feng Yin Piaomiao gather a troops with hundreds of people to uniformly equipped, but this group of people has 50,000 or 60,000, and no guild can find so many players with the same equipment! Moreover, their equipment seems to be quite advanced!

We finally arrived at the city gate. Before we came out, we had already left Adina in the Constitution Hall to help me command the city tree. Now the city gate is controlled by it! We had already asked it to close the gate before we came out. We should be careful before we figure out the enemy and we are still going to do it!

Standing on the top of the city gate, Ling looked at the troops over there and said, "How come it looks familiar!"

Sgoth also said: "It seems to be the troops of the Dark Temple, but it is not!"

Emmenis suddenly shouted: "It's Aesinger's Weirong army! I've seen it before! They trained with me before the demons were destroyed, and I've also been instructors for them!"

"You are the only instructor? What are you teaching?" Vina didn't believe in Emmenis's strength at all!

Emmenis said angrily: "I am the first illusion master of the Dark Temple. Is there no problem in teaching disguise techniques?"

"This is your business!"

While speaking, the large army had already arrived at the city. Five knights led the team rode their horses up. The rain slid down the edge of their armor. Thunder lightning was constantly reflected in the middle. It looked like the armor was flashing. I recognized it at a glance. These five were all Death Knights, the 950-level bosses. Any player would kill one blow in front of them, including me!

"The one above is His Highness the City Lord! We are the Mist Legion of the Guards of Aisinger. We come to Aisinger to garrison under the instructions of His Highness the Goddess of Darkness! Please come down to confirm!"

Now I'm sure that this is what Arni mentioned when the Dragon King, I and Arni held a meeting with each other, Aisinger's Weirong troops! "Wait a minute! I'll come down now!"

Hurry up and take the demon pets and the demon spirit knight to greet them. One of the Death Knights seemed to be the leader came out. He jumped out of the horse very respectfully, and then knelt on one knee in front of me with his left hand crossed in front of me. "The Death Knight Ostá Vader is loyal to you, please accept the troops by His Highness the City Lord!"

"Are you Vader?" Vina's expression suddenly became abnormal. "Do you recognize me?"

Vader raised his head in confusion, and then stopped suddenly. After waiting for a while, he recovered, took off his helmet and showed a handsome face. "Sister, are you?"

"Sister?" I looked at Vina. "Is he your brother? He is also a vampire?"

Vina was a little excited. "We were not born to a mother, our younger brother is a complete demon, and I am a demon clan, a vampire!"

It was a miracle. I didn’t expect that the leader of Aisinger’s Guardian Knight was actually Vina’s younger brother! That is to say, this Death Knight is more qualified than Ling. When he was in power for the two dark gods, he had already joined the Dark Temple. This guy is actually an elder of the three dynasties!
