Empire of Shadows

Chapter 179: The survivor Iya

Views:

After Miao Wen left, I took out a lot of magic crystals and started to set up a large magic gathering array. Although I also knew that setting up a magic gathering array in this strange place might not be effective, my ultimate goal was not to gather any magic power, but to find a way to reduce the magic power consumption when casting magic.

After setting up the magic circle, the most powerful magician of the Kingdom of Yan became my remote monitor. He began to use light curtain magic to continuously survey the surroundings, and used magic crystals to outline a miniature three-dimensional topographic map of the scene he saw.

"Oh my God! Isn't this the magic pattern of God that has been in the temple for thousands of years and no one has cracked it? How could it appear here? And who would have such a big trick..." Looking at the three-dimensional magic map that slowly appeared in front of everyone, several old magicians of the Kingdom of Yan were shocked and almost fainted. After hearing what they said, although I was also very shocked, I was definitely not as outrageous as they were. After all, I have seen the extremely majestic Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang, so I still have a relatively large resistance to this magic circle that is composed of the entire canyon and the surrounding area of dozens of kilometers.

"Don't think about these. Now our most important thing is how to break this weird formation. If we can't break through here before nightfall tomorrow, then what we need to face in the future may not be the undead army of more than one million, but millions of undead and hundreds of millions of orcs... By then, we will undoubtedly become cannon fodder. Now, everyone, look at this damn magic circle, where is its center? Should we send troops to attack? Or is there a chance to use the magic cannon to directly destroy the center of the formation?"

I frowned and stopped the magicians from sighing. I began to think about how to break this magic circle. From what I learned from the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy, the composition of a magic circle must have three elements: the formation of magic patterns, the source of magic power, and the stimulating elements.

Judging from the situation at the scene, this magic circle has been running all the time, so now the formation is there, and what is missing, besides the source of magic power, is the stimulating element.

Just think about it, setting up a magic gathering array of only a few square meters consumed more than ten small magic crystals. Then maintaining such a huge magic array for such a long time, you can imagine how huge the source of magic power is.

In addition, there is one last element, which is the excitation element. However, when I remembered that this place was once the base of the necromancers, I was immediately relieved. Think about what the necromancers like to do most, and what they are best at, besides summoning the undead, is to control the human spirit. In the academy, countless data show that in order to gain stronger mental control power to control more undead, the Wang Ling wizards once frantically imprisoned the souls of the living directly as their spiritual source. Perhaps in this magic circle, there is also such a huge and cruel source of evil.

But after several twists and turns, I and the magicians gave up the idea of using magic to search the area. Now the magicians in the Kingdom of Yan are almost all useless. It is difficult for them to cast a spell, let alone a large-scale search. If they had not used magic resonance to reduce their magic consumption during flight, I am afraid they would not have been able to fly here at all.

Helplessly, I finally asked someone to call Miao Wen again, hoping to get more information from him. After all, our guesses also need some hints and rumors.

"My lord, to be honest, when I was in the tribe, I usually trained myself to be able to serve as a mercenary for the Mocaster Empire. Besides that, I was trying to make a living for my family. I seldom had time to learn about those empty things, so I can only apologize to you. In fact, I have just told you everything I know..." After learning about my purpose, Miao Wen did not tell me the information I wanted to know, making my hope become a vain hope.

"But... if you don't mind, I can take you to the nearest village. The elders there may know some information you need..." Just when I lost hope and was ready to fight a war of attrition with the undead army, Miao Wen's words rekindled my hope.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Without much thought, I immediately agreed to Miao Wen and prepared to go with him. In fact, I have another idea here. Since the current situation of these God's remnants is so miserable, can't I show them some kindness and make them work for me

"Well~~Okay, I will take you to the tribe where I used to live. Please follow me." Without saying much, Miao Wen turned around and walked out of the temporary military camp.

"Sir, walk slowly!" Just as I was about to leave with my personal guards, the old magician who had been following me immediately stopped me. From their eyes, I could clearly see that they were very wary and hostile to Miao Wen.

"I have made up my mind. You must immediately have the magic artillery troops set up defense points and have Parker send troops into the defense positions. And you must lead those magicians and not let them move around freely. It is best to divide them into several groups and gather them together, so as to avoid accidentally leaking your loss of magic attack ability and letting the people of the Mocast Empire have any evil ideas."

Although I don't want to take this risk, I have to go now. If I order a strong attack on those undead troops now, I'm afraid that my troops here will lose a large part. And if I go to fight those undead troops that raid the Canglang defense line again, I can't guarantee that I won't be in trouble.

Following Miao Wen in a hurry, I and ten guards came directly to a human settlement similar to the cave dwellings on the Loess Plateau. Caves of various sizes were built on the mountain and covered the entire slope of the mountain. . . . . .

"Sister Yiya is back! Sister Yiya is back~~~" Just as I was trying to persuade the guards to leave, a naive childish voice stunned me. Yiya... Sister Yiya? Although I really don't know the gender of this weirdo in full body armor, I have always regarded her as a man. Not only because of the style of the armor she wears, but also because of the strange voice she speaks. But now, facing Miao Wen, who is affectionately called Yiya by the children in the village, I can't help but feel absurd. How can this world be like a super joke place, and I can encounter all kinds of unexpected things? Although my luck has been good so far, I feel that my heart is overloaded. Hehe, this woman called Miao Wen... Or Yiya, please don't tell me that she is a peerless beauty, otherwise I will think that this is a novel written by God... (To be continued)
