Considering the long distance between the Lan Kingdom and the Chauvin Dominion, when Dong Lan's reinforcements were ambushed by the beasts several times, I expected to see the scene in front of me.
"...It's really spectacular..."
In the distance is a volcano that spewed into the sky. A large amount of gas and volcanic debris were mixed together, and a thick layer of gray smoke rose. Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, a spewing flame was lit at the core. Lava flowed slowly from the surroundings, and the high temperature began to burn the entire earth.
The powerful ejection stretched the pyroclasts all the way to the stratosphere, and the sky was full of suffocating volcanic ash and pumice that turned into stray bullets. Even from a distance, we can still feel the might of nature.
No matter what is in the middle, I'm afraid I can't survive.
"Dominion Chauvin, it's over..."
Along the way, we encountered more than a dozen interceptions, but there were not as many ambushes as the first time, and there were also some wandering flying monsters, which obviously slowed down our pace. If it was only like this, we should have If you can arrive at night, the volcano should not have been activated.
But those devils actually followed the snow-capped mountains, artificially created several avalanches, blew up two bridges, and forced us to detour to slow down. This is a typical devil's method. , and doesn't give you a chance to fight head-to-head at all.
And when our reinforcements were repeatedly delayed, we were already prepared for the worst, and as a result, we saw a volcanic eruption in front of us... Gagalore, today next year, I will go to your grave.
"...The volcano really erupted, Roland Crowmouth, how do you feel?"
[Ding. The title 'Roland Crowmouth' is obtained. After equipping it, you can use super-long-range causal attacks, but it is limited to specific attacks such as 'I think it will be fine if it doesn't catch fire' and 'This volcano will never erupt'.]
I can't help but stare at the sky. This is definitely not because of my crow's mouth. This is obviously the opponent's plan. Before us, from the moment we clicked, we were a step behind and let the opponent successfully realize the conspiracy. How can I blame the crow's mouth!
"...Gagalore, you can go in peace. Although you have made money a bit too much in recent years, I will avenge you even if you look at the face of the Lan Kingdom's leftovers..."
"Gagalore is not dead, our people have found him. Although he is very embarrassed, he is in good spirits."
I was just about to say a few eulogy to set the mood, but I was interrupted by embarrassment halfway through the sentence, and the terrifying scene of the apocalypse in the distance made me feel a little weird.
"How did they survive?"
"... They were all waiting to die, but last night the beast horde took the initiative to open a passage, and some people shouted to let them go, and they all came out all night."
I was stunned, is this possible
"Wait, that means the beast horde made way for them... No, that means if they continued to hold on, they could have held on until we came?"
"Forget the time, it is true. It seems that this is also the basis for the opponent to let them escape."
I was a little speechless. It seems that our day and night journey really played a role. At least it forced the beast tide and the behind-the-scenes magic face to fear our arrival, opening an escape route for the chauvinists.
From what I know about Gagalore, I am afraid he will not hesitate to grab this life-saving straw to escape, even if he vaguely guesses that reinforcements are about to arrive.
"Forget it, it's already like this. It's better to be alive than dead. Is that fat fox okay? It's hard to imagine that he was completely bankrupt because he returned to before liberation overnight?"
The attendant's expression became rather strange, but in the end, he gave me the answer I wanted.
"No, the first thing he said when he met our scout was 'Ms Fortune is here. It seems that I will change my career to the volcano tourism business in the future. I hope I can earn it back in my lifetime.'"
"Pfft. He still wants to make money."
As soon as these words came out, there was already a lot of laughter around, which finally made the atmosphere better.
I shook my head and sighed a little. When I met him eight years ago, he was a visionary leader and strategist. After only a few years of business, he has completely turned into a businessman from start to finish.
But in any case, it is a good thing that people are okay, and now some of us are starting to take off their thick winter clothes. It seems that the weather of this generation is really going to change a lot. .
"wagggh!"
At this time, the roar of the distant beast caught our attention.
Our air rider brought back the image, and the flame beasts came out of the volcano one by one, and countless medium and small fire elements jumped out of the nearby magma. It seems that the door to the fire element plane has been opened as scheduled. Our fun is big.
"Let's build a defensive line first, tsk, it really makes people unable to relax..."
…
The work to rescue the victims has already been arranged. For some reason, the soldiers of the Lan Kingdom are already very experienced in disaster relief.
The sudden advance of the reinforcements obviously put a lot of pressure on the gangsters behind the scenes. They gave up the plan of encirclement and annihilation. Although the Chauvin self-government was over, the loss of the population was still within the acceptable range.
And when the violent flame elements came from the alien plane, the first to fight with them were not the humans of the main plane, but the beast tides still lingering here.
The moment the volcano erupted, the beasts of the northern land, who were naturally afraid of fire, were out of control. If those phantom-faced demons didn't escape in time, I'm afraid they would become snacks for their subordinates.
The remaining beasts were chased and divided by flames, and finally fell into desperation. It seems that we should not have to worry about the beast tide next year.
In a sense, under the control of the devil, this group of beasts has also become a sacrifice for the opening of the gate of the plane.
As the battle strength of the entire Northland increases, the beast tide has become less and less a problem. As long as there is no rational beast to find a way to deal with it, it is not difficult to deal with. The regular legion has no way to fear the beast. It's not good, and it's not that it can't cope with the herd.
But the beast tide is one thing, and the elemental invasion is another. The former is a beast without reason and organization, while the latter is an army led by the element lord.
"Come on?"
"Don't be joking, I don't have this ability in my current state. Besides, it may not be useful even if I really make a shot."
Looking at the Flaming Mountain in front of me, I regretfully gave up the desire to fire the Forbidden Spell, and took advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to fire Ice Age and earn countless points. This is such a tempting idea, but unfortunately, I am now Not to mention the Forbidden Spell, I can't throw any ice spells above the fifth ring, and even if the other party is stupid enough to ask me to recite the Forbidden Spell for a few days, it is meaningless to just put out the flames in front of me.
The door to the Fire Elemental Plane must be where the flames are the most blazing. Now it should be underground in the depths of the volcano. Even if the Forbidden Spell extinguishes these flames, it will only cure the symptoms but not the root causes. The gate of the plane, the next elemental creatures will be endless.
The most troublesome thing about jihad is here. Before the jihad opens the door of the plane, the order rules of the main plane will also have many restrictions, and any teleportation will have to pay more or less price. Like now, once the door of the plane is opened It is basically impossible to close, and the difficulty of teleporting is like visiting neighbors. Ordinary small-scale battlefields can easily become meat grinder-style protracted battles.
"Perhaps, this is the purpose of the devils, borrowing the power of the fire element plane to hold us back..."
The conspiracy has been realized, and some things are not difficult to guess. If you want to overthrow the increasingly powerful Lan Alliance, you must pay a big enough price, but the residents of the lower planes are obviously not willing to fight with the Lan Alliance, but find a The third is to cause some trouble for the opponent, but it is the most familiar routine for the devils.
The waves of flames in the distance are higher than waves, and the gate of the plane is open, allowing the power of the elemental plane of flame to pour into this side. The sharp rise in temperature suggests a change in the environment, but those violent fire elements have no intention of leaving the volcano. , they are also accumulating strength in preparation for the next battle of the elements.
"It seems that we need a solid enough line of defense... Renee, call the leaders of the Lan Alliance countries, and don't forget to inform the Daxueshan Demon Realm and the Contract Brave Guild, we need to have a good talk. Even if you don't want to go to the Chaos side, Chaos The side will also help you find some trouble."
