Chapter 45 Crisis and Turnaround
In fact, it's not just the Babel Province.
After the Apocalypse Array released a light column and tearing a crack in space, various terrifying disasters occurred in the Gulf Federation and even the entire Ilgna world. Countless stone demons descended from the sky with the meteorites. The troops from all over the country were exhausted and finally cleared one place, and monsters appeared in the other place.
The Bay Central District is one of the few areas that have not been attacked by stone demons. Of course, this is also the most harshly guarded place. Even if the stone demons really invade, they will definitely be repelled.
The commander who was riding in the airship and finally arrived at his office sat tiredly on his chair, but he had no time to rest. After a sip of water, Urken quickly opened many observation arrays, allowing dozens of light curtains to appear in front of him.
He was nervously paying attention to the scenes in the various light curtains. The red elf's heart sank and he realized that the situation was worse than he thought.
The nine provinces of the Federation have all experienced attacks of stone demons of varying intensity. The number and density are second only to the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago. However, all the stone demons gathered in one place, but now almost equal numbers appear in nine at the same time, or even more places.
The troops in various places were running around, and they spent all their energy and manpower just to defend against the stone demons in their territory. However, the central area relied on fortifications and had no problem in sticking to it, but they were powerless to go out to help other provinces.
The storm blew all the provinces in the sea, the port cities were hit by huge waves, and earthquakes were born in all hilly areas, while ice rain and blizzards washed back and forth the land of the northern provinces. In just a few hours, the ice layer of the northern provinces became half a meter thick, and even the armored vehicles were completely frozen and could not drive.
Various natural disasters were accompanied by countless stone demons, and they launched a fierce attack on the stance that it seemed to destroy the Gulf Federation in one fell swoop. The weakest military province of Delang has been devastated. Countless meteorites fell from the sky, causing the earth to crack and turn the wilderness covered with grass and forests into scorched earth covered with cracks and huge pits. Under the siege of thousands of stone demons, the defenders of Delang Province have retreated to various large cities in full swing. In the abandoned cities, countless gray rock puppets were walking, destroying all temporary fortresses and wantonly massacre local civilians who had no time to leave.
The earth was covered with terrifying corpses, the flesh and blood of the elves and the fragments of the puppet were mixed together, emitting a tragic smell of blood.
There was nothing to say, nothing to say. Urken gritted his teeth, and his wrinkled forehead was rising. He led the Federation to be reborn from the ruins of the war of the last dynasty with one hand and loved all the elves. He would go to bless any city to build. Seeing those monsters without blood and tears silently massacred the remaining elves civilians, his heart was filled with irresistible anger.
But what can it be? The whole body was filled with helplessness. Even if the commander was trembling with anger, he was powerless.
The Federation really has no spare energy... Could it be that the Federation will perish here?
Forced to turn his eyes, the commander turned his head to look at the light curtain of Babel Province. Since it was the location where the Apocalypse Array came, there were far more stone demons here than other provinces, with nearly five thousand puppet army mixed with flying stone demons going to war on both sides. One side was conducting a defensive tug-of-war near the Babel Province Government, while the other side was surrounding the armored convoy near Sapphire Port.
On the hills around Sapphire Harbor, an army began to break through in the direction of Babel's Mansion with the assistance of a black and half dragon. From time to time, loud thunder sounds came from the hills. Accompanied by huge dragon roars that shocked the world, one beam after another penetrated the haze brought by volcanic ash and water vapor. It shattered the bodies of countless powerful stone demons, allowing the armored army beside it to fire safely and destroy the weaker stone puppets. The attacks from both sides formed a huge firepower net, covering all the existences blocking the front.
It has to be said that the cooperation between the two is still a bit awkward, and occasionally a few stone demons will leapt across the fire net, but this is not harmful. The huge dragon beast waved its giant claws and simply hit a few lucky gray puppets into pieces. The flying stone demons flying in the sky occasionally want to attack it while the half-dragon attacks other places, but they never expected that the red fog surrounding the black body is composed of high-temperature fire elements. Just getting close to it, there is a risk of making them lose their activity.
With the help of the Volcano Dragon, the situation has almost stabilized?!
The commander took a deep breath. He was once again glad that he did not order to kill this giant beast. Otherwise, he would not have any help in the face of such a terrifying invasion. Babel Province was destined to fall, and other places would collapse in turn like dominoes.
"You must win! Volcano Dragon!"
With his hands crossed and his fingers pressed until the joints were white, Urken stared at the light curtain and said word by word in a heavy voice: "You are... the only hope!"
And on the other end of the light curtain.
He calmly judged the situation and poured out his powerful firepower to destroy enemies one after another. While Hei was estimating whether his remaining magic power could break through the surrounding stone demons, he was surprised that the magic power in the surrounding atmosphere had become much stronger. Although it was still not as good as the magic concentration in the Great Eas and Sigma Volcanoes, it could also make it emit a lot of more beam cannons.
But why? Why did so much magic suddenly appear? Half Dragon is a little puzzled, but it doesn't care. As long as it can destroy the enemy better, who cares about such small things, it continues to produce light cannons after light, then waves its claws, and even crashes into it, destroying powerful stone monsters after powerful.
Most of these stone demons are extremely weak, and they cannot even resist the flame shields that the half-dragon comes with. But more powerful, such as steel and mitral-level stone demons, all have the strength of intermediate silver and peak silver. Their power is enough to penetrate the black fire element shield and dragon scales, causing great damage to the half-dragon. After the magic concentration is even more stable, it will not have any impact on the stone demon. However, whether it is the power of the armored vehicle magic crystal cannon or the half-dragon element shield, it will be even stronger, leaving those weak stone demons with no room for resistance.
Hei doesn't seem to care much about this matter, but many people care.
"What? You said that the magic concentration of Babel Province suddenly increased by 42%?" Urken was in his office, staring at the battle situation of Babel Province with armored vehicles as the first perspective, while talking to the institute. However, the first sentence the other party said made him turn his gaze back and said in shock: "Why? Why has it suddenly increased so much? This concentration is enough to support a lot of great magic!"
But the questioned institute also shows that they do not know the reason. They only found abnormal data from observations. After several calculations, these scholars also gave two possibilities this time.
After the stone demon dies, it is unlikely that a large amount of magic will appear. Although there are many stone demons in Babel Province, there are many such rock puppets in other places. If they defeat them, they will only get waste stones in the ground without any gain.
The second point is quite incredible, but unexpectedly reasonable.
"The opening of the crack in time and space... brings magic from the outside world?" He repeated the sentence he had just heard in a low voice, and Urken repeated it softly.
He is thinking.
The attack launched by the Apocalypse Formation completely smoothed a mountain and the surrounding cities. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elves turned into ashes and dissipated into heaven and earth. The terrifying power even tore the space apart, pulling a huge wound on the outer layer of the world.
Even though the appearance has healed, the structure of the space is still fragile, and countless magic powers penetrate into it, gradually increasing the concentration of Ilgna's magic power. The most benefited were the mages in Babel Province. They could only use some small tricks, but now with the help of the sudden increase in magic power, these mages have regained their ability to use advanced magic.
In the mansion, the defenders who were fighting hard positions with countless endless stone demons suddenly realized that several gain states appeared on their bodies. They all felt full of energy and full of strength. When they aimed and shot, they also hit a hundred percent of their firepower in an instant. The sudden explosion instantly defeated the strongest attack of the stone demons. The defenders successfully protected the millions of residents of the mansion behind them.
These are all the contributions of the mages who suddenly can cast the gain spells. They are extremely knowledgeable. If the environment hadn't restricted them, these guys would have been able to advance long ago.
Professor Nelson, before becoming a master scholar of linguistics, was also a wizard and a master.
The white elf old man changed his goal decades ago when casting spells became more and more difficult, and focused on learning all known languages. But even so, he was still a stern division, which is why the army was extremely polite to him and was even willing to tell him his action plan.
I was originally a powerful mage, but my spell casting ability dropped significantly due to the decrease in the magic concentration in this world, and I couldn't even use auxiliary spells. Nelson would never forget this feeling of frustration in his life, but now it's different. The old elf closest to the space crack was shocked to realize that his power was quickly recovering.
He had no time to worry about why, so he ran out of the armored vehicle neatly. The elf professor immediately cast a high speed for Hei. With the end of the spell, Hei immediately realized that his movements were faster and faster. Hei looked at the white elf beside him in surprise, half-dragon appearance. Although the guy in front of him was far from Master Nostradamus, he also had a familiar breath.
The breath of a silver-level mage.
An elf and a dragon looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
"Old Lord Volcano Dragon, we all break through the encirclement of these monsters!"
The old master laughed and said, "Don't think about dragging them down. Let's rush out and rush back to Babel's provincial government. First help them solve the trouble, and then turn around and deal with these damn monsters!"
"roar!"
There was no smile on Banlong's face, but his voice was full of fighting spirit. Although he was still in a dangerous situation surrounded, he had no fear. The armored vehicle and Banlong began to run towards the distance with all their might. The huge tilted artillery fire and explosion sounded as if ten thousand beasts were running wildly on the ground. Under the attack of the dragon, one mitral-level stone demon shell after another cracked and collapsed into pieces of the ground. The stone demon still flying in the sky was shot down by one beam after another. The aftermath even shattered the clouds in the sky, causing many large holes that could see the starry sky in the dense clouds.
The breakout was smoother, and the entire armored convoy easily penetrated the stone demons' encirclement net like a cone, and just after the old mage and the commander behind the screen breathed a sigh of relief.
A golden colossus far taller than other puppets suddenly appeared and then stopped in front of the armored convoy. (To be continued.)
