After Xiao Chen cast the magic, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city gate opposite was open.
Stardust Annihilation is indeed a magic that can only be used proficiently at the master level. The four of them have tried their best in this joint casting.
Although the casting process was relatively smooth at the beginning, in fact, when they started to fight with the magic circle on the door, everyone's mental energy was greatly consumed. The energy of the magic circle on the gate of Heimu Pass was said to come from the large amount of crystals stored in Heimu Pass. What Xiao Chen and his friends did was like fighting a rumbling tank with bare hands.
The formation mechanism on the black wooden coffin will mobilize more and more energy to maintain the operation of the formation when the protection fails. Therefore, for Xiao Chen and others, the longer the stalemate lasts, the more energy they will consume, and the more difficult it will be to persist.
What they were most worried about was that when they could no longer persevere in dispelling the magic, the door had not yet been blown open by the artillery fire.
Fortunately, the gate fell down just before they could no longer hold on.
The four of them, including Xiao Chen, sat down on the ground. Xiao Chen felt a splitting headache. He hadn't felt this kind of mental overdraft for a long time.
Wang Jiyuan leaped onto the earthen platform and landed next to Xiao Chen.
"How do you feel? Can you hold on in the following battles?" Wang Jiyuan asked.
"Give me ten minutes to relax." Xiao Chen said while panting. He sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
After becoming a great magician, his mental power has been substantially improved, and his recovery ability has been greatly enhanced. Although the meditation time was short, Xiao Chen quickly recovered his basic mental power. The other three also recovered one after another and stood up from the ground one by one.
"It's much better now." Xiao Chen looked at the checkpoint on the other side and said, "Until now, the other side has not shown any intention of counterattacking and allowed us to blow open the city gate. This is really a good way to endure."
Wang Jiyuan said, "Let's see what they are doing."
The mage in charge of the Mage's Eye beside Wang Jiyuan reported: "The enemy used interference magic to obscure the situation inside Blackwood Pass. Now we can't see what the situation is like over there."
Wang Jiyuan sneered: "The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes."
Xiao Chen said: "The other party must have set up a trap at the door. They are waiting for us to rush in."
Wang Jiyuan said: "This is obvious. Unless they completely abandon Heimuguan, this position must be defended. Not only that, there may be various traps waiting for our people inside. Fortunately, we are well prepared."
Wang Jiyuan ordered the artillery regiment: "Ten minutes later, have the pneumatic cannons use indirect fire mode to bombard the area 100 meters wide on both sides of the city gate and 500 meters inside the wall."
He then said to the messenger, "Have Huang Zheng's commando team get ready and march towards the city gate in three minutes. Five minutes after the bombardment begins, start to break into the city gate."
Xiao Chen said: "Since the siege is about to begin, we have to go and support each part."
"How are you recovering?" Wang Jiyuan asked.
Xiao Chen said: "I am still recovering, but it is no problem for me to assist them now."
After saying that, the four of them took off into the air and flew towards the sky above Heimu Pass.
————————
Less than a kilometer away from Heimu Pass, there was an assault force led by Huang Zheng. This team looked a little strange, because there were not many ordinary soldiers of the guard army in the team. Instead, it was composed of three different groups of soldiers.
First of all, beside him was a team of masters, including not only the three battle angels Gabriel, Metatron and Anar, but also Ye Zi holding the anti-shadow gun. The leader of the black guards, Molet, who was projected by Luo Ling, was also beside them. Today, he specially wore a set of magic armor that he had never worn before, and also wore a masking helmet to conceal his identity.
In addition to these powerful warriors whose combat power has reached the master level, there are more than a dozen high-level warriors and mages behind them, including the dark elf ranger Evelyn, and Glade who holds the "Spirit Gathering Book".
The second team was composed of spirit servants projected by Xiao Chen, Luo Ling and other Dream Tower mages, with a total of nearly 300 people. Both Xiao Chen's Tashia and Luo Ling's Song Hongyang were among them. These spirit servant warriors were no different from ordinary people, holding weapons that they were good at. There were melee fighters and magicians, as well as fighters equipped with air guns. This team was led by Song Hongyang.
The third team was the most special. It consisted of fifty ordinary-looking soldiers in military uniforms. What was special was that each of them held something like a model remote control in their hands, and a huge figure was now beside this team. It was the golem Gama from the Spirit Refining Tower.
Huang Zheng walked to the third team and ordered, "Release the golem!"
Several captains in the team opened their storage rings, and golems were summoned from the rings. A few golems had special shapes, such as Luo Ling's golem Qingluan and Elena's golem Yutu. Most of the golems looked exactly the same, like an adult-sized spider, except that the tops of their eight legs were all equipped with sharp blades, and there was a row of black gun muzzles in the middle of their bodies.
This is the result of recent golem research: the Sky Spider Type I control golem. It is a stable mass-produced model after a series of experimental models. It has absorbed the production experience of golems such as Qingluan and Yutu, and has improved the design many times. Although its materials are not as good as those of Qingluan and Yutu, which are customized products transformed from the Forging Tower golems, it has low cost, fast production, and much lower requirements for the operator.
The Sky Spider Type I adopts the spider-shaped design that is easiest to balance. It uses the "Spirit-Infusing Magic Book" from Glade's original forge tower to extract the souls of spider creatures as an auxiliary operating center to ensure the golem's action instincts. It can complete basic actions such as running, jumping, and swinging independently according to simple instructions, so that the operator does not need to control the behavior of each leg.
The golem is powered by crystals, and its main structure is made of special steel developed in this world. It is covered with enchanted armor, and the blades on its eight legs are also made of enchanted materials. It is equipped with four large-caliber air guns and a grenade launcher. It has considerable combat power in both long-range and close combat.
Once these golems of different sizes were summoned, they were linked to the controllers in the hands of the warriors. They quickly formed a square formation in front of the team, with Gama, Qingluan and Yutu at the front. (To be continued)
