Starfall 833, September 3rd, noon, cloudy.
The Holy Mountain of the Far Sea, the Central Temple Area, and the Temporary Square.
Hundreds of magical puppets were carrying earth and rocks back and forth, and a rectangular square with a radius of several hundred meters was cleared out of the ruins. The square is wide open, and you can see broken temples and golden light shields around them. The top of the towering temple is filled with sacred light mist, and runes fly out one after another, and then merge into the light shield.
Since that battle, the Mad Dragon has never harassed the Church of the Seven Gods again. There are many reasons, and the biggest one is that the Five Color Dragon Clan found that they could no longer break through the Holy Mountain.
As the strongest man on the continent, Pope Eagle is not claimed by humans alone. It is a fact recognized by all races in the Mycroft world. The three legendary dragons dare to fight with him relying on their numerical advantage, but naturally The appearance of Mentor and Israel was completely outside their plans.
The Holy Mountain that now has three legendary powerful men can almost be called 'indestructible', and even if the legendary dragon tried its best to entangle them, after losing the Ember Earth Sword, the remaining mad dragons could not A way to break through the defense line in the central temple area.
As a result, the Ash Island of Edda ushered in a long-lost peace. The mad dragon no longer even blocked the sea route. The first batch of reinforcements from the Far South Kingdom had arrived at the temporary port on the east side of the Holy Mountain. The power of changing the terrain caused it to collapse in the earthquake, so a temporary sea port could only be built using divine magic.
The temporary square was used to place the large amount of supplies brought by the reinforcements. The magical puppets originally used in war put down their swords, equipped with shovels, and began to carry out large-scale land repair and reconstruction work. Their efficiency was unexpectedly good, and many priests began to think about the possibility of completely transforming them into engineering puppets. .
Saya stood on the top of a temple near the square. She leaned on the pillars on the top of the temple and gave remote commands to the puppets at the bottom.
Since the exploration team returned from the Abyss of Anos, the original church trio quickly went to different posts. Loranda and Robzek were both incorporated into the northwest defense line as commanders, while she was responsible for controlling divine magic. Puppet, supporting the critical defense line everywhere.
This is an extremely mentally demanding job, giving instructions to hundreds or even thousands of magical puppets at once, and fine-tuning their formations to fight against various dragon beasts. For Saya, a golden powerhouse, this job is It's not easy, let alone working for weeks on end. But the war did not give her time to complain, and Saya was not that kind of person. She completed her work perfectly and rescued dozens of emergency temples. This conscientious behavior was awarded by the church—from now on From the beginning, all the 233 magical puppets in the square belonged to her.
Although these puppets do not conform to Saya's aesthetic... at least the puppets will not betray! In this regard, the elder nun, who was already mentally traumatized, was very pleased.
"It seems that the Holy Mountain needs to be completely rebuilt." Confirming that her puppets were working according to the plan, Saya nodded. She looked around and looked down at the temple from a high place.
Saya could 'see' the surrounding temple communities, covered with golden light and flowing with sacred aura. However, although it does not appear to be a serious problem at first glance, in fact the building walls of each temple are full of cracks, the stone roads connecting the various temples are also broken, and many roadside stone tablets and pillars have collapsed and cracked. , only a fragment of the wall remains.
Although the mad dragon did not completely capture the Holy Mountain, it did destroy nearly 80% of the buildings on the surface. Only the core inner circle of the central temple area and the Holy Mountain itself were not affected. According to the judgment of the Grand Sister, in the Five Colors After the dragon tribe retreats, the church will definitely start a large-scale reconstruction work. At that time, with many magical puppets, she may be even busier than now, or even during the war.
"That's fine. Those old-fashioned buildings on the Holy Mountain were originally built piecemeal over thousands of years without any reasonable planning... Starting from scratch, it will definitely be better than before."
Just when Saya was thinking about how the Holy Mountain should be rebuilt in the future, a white light suddenly lit up in the sky. The nun looked up at the sky in surprise. She saw that with the top of the Holy Mountain as the reference point, the dark clouds over the distant sea began to move rapidly. After dissipating, the dazzling sunlight swept towards the place where the wild dragons gathered in the distance like a rapidly expanding beam of light.
But what is shocking is that the Mad Dragon Legion, which had been silent for several days and had not come to attack Gray Island, actually dispersed like foam under the sunlight and turned into pieces of broken light.
"No, it's really an illusion!" Just by looking at it from a distance, Saya clearly understood that those lifelike dragons were indeed just illusions. Not only that, but those giant dragons hidden in the clouds and high in the sky All the dragons disappeared. The mad dragon legion that had been besieging the Holy Mountain for dozens of days was actually replaced by illusions without any sound, and the real body had long since disappeared!
"snort."
A slightly angry snort from the legendary warrior came from the top of the holy mountain, echoing throughout the sea and sky: "Coward."
But the nun exhaled slightly, as if a big stone had fallen in her heart.
At least, there's no need to fight now.
It seems that the Five Colored Dragon Clan knew that they could not break through the Holy Mountain, so they evacuated the main force while rescuing the wounded on the Holy Mountain and reorganizing the defense line. It is no wonder why the support fleet of the Far South Kingdom came to Gray Island without any hindrance. From this point of view, the dragon disaster that originally ravaged the entire southern continent will stop expanding due to the defeat of this battle. The temporarily withdrawn Mad Dragon Legion cannot go back to support the remaining dragon beasts on the Far South Continent. The kingdom's army will destroy them. Eliminate them one by one.
But this is not the end. Everyone knows that the previous decisive battle on the Holy Mountain was just an anticlimax. The mad dragon army that retreated because of the three legendary powerhouses still has the ability to break through any country and federation in the southern continent. They do not Losing core vitality and still having the strength to fight again.
Joshua understands this too.
At the entrance to the great temple at the top of the holy mountain, the warrior stood on the edge of the suspended temple, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance.
It can be said that the development of all this is completely different from the previous life - the dragon disaster in the previous life occurred in the year 834 of Starfall. The powerful Mad Dragon Legion invaded most of the territory of the Far South Kingdom, the adjacent business alliance, the gathering place of elves and the zerg. The lairs also suffered heavy losses, and the main force of the Mad Dragon Legion almost broke through the Holy Mountain. It was not until Pope Igor defeated the three legendary dragons, and the Seven Gods also knocked the five-color dragon god down to the boundless heaven, that he became a saint. .
Although the mad dragon army was dispersed, that time coincided with the arrival of the first wave of magic. The violent magic power fluctuations that swept the entire world made all the beasts irritable and restless, and even prompted the scattered mad dragons to riot, making the dragons more troubled. further intensified.
It can be said that before this, the so-called dragon disaster was just a planned and step-by-step invasion by the five-color dragon clan, a war, but after that, it was a disaster similar to a beast tide.
But now, because three legendary powerhouses gathered in the Holy Mountain, Joshua himself foiled the opponent's conspiracy to destroy the temple's defense line. Seeing that the five-color dragon clan no longer had the upper hand on the frontal battlefield, they did not forcefully fight, but retreated. Unknown territory. In this way, the intensity of the war would not reach the point where it would trigger the intervention of the gods, and the great demonic tide had not yet arrived. The scattered dragon beasts on the continent did not go further crazy, and their orbits deviated extremely hugely.
It can be said that the world line change rate definitely exceeds 1, because the intensity of the war is not high, the five-color dragon god did not fight with the seven human gods, the mad dragon army was not dispersed, but just retreated, the holy mountain and the seven gods church Employees did not suffer huge losses either. Whether this is good or bad, the soldier doesn't know, but in any case, it has nothing to do with him.
Because he is now preparing to return to the Northland.
Before Israel dispelled the clouds and revealed the fact that the mad dragon had retreated, Joshua had been chatting with the three legendary powerhouses for some time. The warrior and Loranda together faced the natural mentor Ms. Ayde. The archdruid of Lil Galanold explained their experiences in the world of Ilgna, and the natural teacher with a long name believed them after confirming through magic that the two were not lying.
The Father of Nature sealed the space-time channel when sending Joshua and others away, but the time-space traces at the bottom of the Great Ajax volcano are still there. Naturally, the elves cannot give up the possibility of finding their father. You know, even now, the belief in the Father of Nature is still widely spread among the elven tribes. Although most elves except the druids only use it as a part of their oral beliefs and culture, the belief in the Father of Nature can also be seen. The impact was so profound that it has not been lost thousands of years later.
The natural teacher said that she would personally lead a team to the Northland in a few months to investigate the traces of time and space under the Great Ajax volcano to determine the location of the world of Ilgona. Before that, she suggested that Qiao Xiu Yaxian returned to her own territory to rest and ensure that no one destroyed the remaining traces of the time and space channel - if everything was true, she would give the warrior a great gift.
Whether it is Pope Eagle, Israel or the warrior himself, they all think this is a good suggestion - it is obvious that the situation in the Holy Mountain is gradually becoming clearer, and there is a legendary strongman holding the line, and Joshua does not need to stay here. Eagle temporarily expressed his verbal thanks for his help. The specific reward will be sorted out and sent out later because the Holy Mountain is still being rebuilt.
At this time, three legendary strongmen were discussing matters related to the five-color dragon clan in the main hall, while the warriors brought the Shenji siblings, Hei, No. 1 and the sad-looking Sularno to the outside of the main hall, waiting. Later transmission.
Soon after, the long-lost elf boy Hill and the sea dragon lady Fina also appeared at the door of the hall. When they saw the warriors and the group, they smiled and said hello to their former comrades.
The two Hill came to the Great Temple to wait for the teleportation. They were invited by the Church of the Seven Gods to explore the Abyss of Anos. They also participated in the subsequent war with the Mad Dragon. They could sense that the strength of the elf boy was undergoing After a series of hard battles, there has been a significant improvement, and it seems that it has touched the edge of the golden barrier. Because of this, Hill seemed to be in a very good mood. He and Fina stood aside, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be discussing how they should describe this adventure to their companions after returning to the Eastern Sea Dragon Knights.
In September, the warm autumn wind blew by, followed by the bright sunshine. Joshua withdrew his gaze from the empty sea, without any sign of the dragon, and looked back at the sea behind him. This big group of people.
This time the exploration and adventure to the Far South came to an end. He gained a lot and changed a lot. Looking at Hotaru, Rin and Hei's smiling faces, and looking at No. 1 and Surarno who was fighting hard, the warrior felt that this trip was worthwhile, both in terms of strength and mood.
After a while, footsteps came from inside the hall.
The white-haired old man walked out of the main hall, and Pope Eagle looked at the group of people gathered at the entrance of the main temple with a smile.
This time, Holy Mountain was able to resolve the mad dragon attack at such a small price precisely because of the group of people in front of him. If the Time Expedition Team had not sealed the abyss cracks in the Abyss of Anos and repelled the demon blood dragon army in the Blood Moon Abyss, then there might have been a group of violent dragons besieging the Holy Mountain this time. The abyss dragon. If Joshua hadn't been the first to discover that there was something wrong with the red dragon holding the artifact long sword, then the priests of the Holy Mountain would have suffered at least thousands, or even more than 10,000 casualties.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but turn his head and look at the soldier. Maybe we can already tell him about the fourth item passed down by the sages, Eagle thought.
But in the end, he still didn't say anything. The old pope planned to wait until the Holy Mountain was rebuilt and everything was free before telling Joshua the news.
Now, let him rest for a while.
"I can see that you are also anxious to go back, so I won't waste any more nonsense."
Looking around at everyone present, Eagle said in a deep voice: "Get ready, everyone, the teleportation is about to begin."
The transmission was something that had been announced a long time ago, so there was no need to say anything more.
Joshua, Thrall and others naturally expressed their readiness. At the same time, Natural Master and Israel also walked out of the hall. The two legendary powerhouses silently glanced at everyone and seemed to be in the same good mood.
A faint blue light bloomed quietly under the surging holy light. Two time and space passages leading to different places appeared in front of everyone. After saying goodbye to each other, Joshua, Sal and others stepped into different time and space passages. , return to his hometown.
Taking one step forward and entering the transmission channel, the feeling of time and space being reversed and confused came over him. At this moment, the warrior suddenly felt something. He closed his eyes and used his soul to 'look' at the endless void around him.
Divinity spreads out silently, connecting all kinds of information in the fluctuations of time and space.
In the void, there are several huge existences that are as if they are the incarnations of endless sentient beings. They gather in one place, seeming to be waiting and wary of something. Among these huge existences, Joshua sensed several familiar auras, including the God of Power and the God of Life, but what surprised him the most was the five-color Dragon God with a faint aura of the abyss.
The gods of the five-color dragon clan, the seven gods of the human race, and several other gods who caused the dragon disaster and invaded the Far South Continent did not fight with each other, but what were they guarding against together? !
There was no time to think about more things. The teleportation had ended. When the warrior opened his eyes, he found that he had arrived in front of the lord's mansion in the main city of Moldavia in the North.
Behind them, the Shenji siblings, the black dragon girl, No. 1 and the blue dragon also walked out of the time and space channel one after another. Before Firefly and Rin could cheer home, there was a magical glow flashing in front of everyone, accompanied by the elements. Surging, the slightly surprised projection of Miss Artificial Intelligence appeared in front of Joshua.
"You...are back."
she said softly.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Joshua nodded: "I'm back."
