While Baihuo and her fellow demon hunters were exchanging information on the battle situation on the front line, Hao Ren and Lili were fascinated to look at the dilapidated palaces floating in the distance in the distance. The tail poked the arms of the two people: "What are you two looking at?"
Hao Ren only came back to his senses after being poked by Wuyue. He forgot everything he was thinking just now. He scratched his hair: "Uh... It's okay, but it always feels a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. Could it be... A style somewhere in Holleta?"
Vivienne narrowed her eyes all of a sudden: "A building from the period of the Magic Empire?! This is also possible, after all, even a whole planet like 'Purgatory' can be blown over." After speaking, she glanced at Lily again: "The landlord is considering Forget about the matter, how can you learn to be serious like a heartless person?"
Before Lily could say a word, Hao Ren answered instead: "Nonsense, you can go find any husky and see if they look serious when they are in a daze!"
Vivienne wanted to ask something more, but the moment she was about to speak, a strong flash of light suddenly burst out from a distance, followed by a loud bang that was more deafening than thunder. Everyone looked in horror, and saw that a floating stone platform about one kilometer away suddenly burst into flames. After that loud noise, large areas of magic bullets flashed around the stone platform like a rainstorm, faintly Countless figures can be seen criss-crossing among those flashes, and the flames and lightning illuminate a large number of broken buildings around the stone platform, which is a fierce attack. And in the center of the stone platform is a half-collapsed temple, the top of the temple is shining like a torch, and a huge shield covers the entire platform, enduring the continuous external bombardment.
There were witcher warriors coming out of the temple to meet the enemy, but due to the long distance and the interference from the explosion, Hao Ren couldn't see what was going on there, but he could sense the situation just by watching from a distance. A fierce battle between the demon hunters and soldiers at full strength, the power is no less than that of the saturated firepower in the era of human hot weapons!
"The attack on the Temple of Darsu has begun again," said a witcher warrior through gritted teeth. "Since yesterday, the frequency of their attacks has doubled. Now there will be a wave of attacks almost every hour-I don't know how long the temple's crystals can last."
Nangong Sanba subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand: "Aren't you going to help?"
"The platform here is more important. We must first defend the control center of the Star Tower," Bai Huo tried to suppress his emotions, "and they will attack here at any time. In the case of insufficient manpower, everyone can only fight on their own. Come with me, I will take you to the temporary command post first."
Under the leadership of the defenders. A group of people quickly transferred from the platform. They moved forward on a series of broken stairs and ramps floating in the air, experiencing discontinuous gravity and weird upside-down roads. At least for Hao Ren and Lily, this was a wonderful experience. . Eventually they came to a small palace floating in mid-air. Compared to other dilapidated palace ruins, this small palace, which was used as a temporary command post, seemed relatively complete. Only part of its outer wall was cracked, and part of the superstructure of the palace turned into broken debris floating in the air. A large number of demon hunter warriors guarded the palace. Hao Ren saw many floating rune stones and ballista-like weapons placed in the open space near the building. These were obviously large weapons of demon hunters.
After seeing a lot of individual equipment of the demon hunter. He finally saw the large weapons they had used during the mythical wars.
The interior of the palace was empty. It seemed to be a place for sacrifices, but now all the ritual objects have been emptied. What remained of the open space became a busy command center. Hao Ren saw a group of delicately structured small objects floating in the center of the hall, which were the positions of the palace towers in the Corpus space. They are vivid and lifelike, floating in mid-air according to the operating rules of those real buildings, and some demon hunter warriors walk around this special set of "sand tables", constantly integrating the frontline battle reports and passing orders. An exceptionally tall black-skinned man stood next to the floating model. It was Tutan who had just withdrawn from the front line not long ago.
"Bai Huo, I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound." Tutan nodded slightly to Bai Huo, and then his eyes fell on Hao Ren and his party. "I have understood the situation. Thank you for coming to help regardless of previous suspicions and camp differences."
"I have no camp differences with you, but this is not important." Hao Ren waved his hand, "Who can explain to me what this model means?"
"These are the various architectural relics floating in Corpus' space," Bai Huo pointed to those delicate models, "The palace is the main station and battle area, and they can create a powerful protective barrier to prevent foreign enemies from penetrating layer upon layer. , and at the same time it is a management facility that controls energy flow, and this kind of white tower is usually an energy node—and also the main target of the competition. Assault the nearest palace first. We are now in this position..."
Bai Huo pointed to the star tower model at the bottom of the sand table: "This is the 'bottom' of Corpus' space. And the Presbyterian Church is at the position above... the clock tower of the spirit world, the most heavily guarded place in Corpus. "
Looking in the direction of Bai Huo's finger, at the top of all the buildings is a weird steeple with complex structure and asymmetrical shape. That steeple is suspended in the empty area among a bunch of floating buildings. Hao Ren observed it carefully. This tower was found to be the only one in the entire system of Corpus ruins that is still.
Between the bell tower of the spirit world and the towers of the stars, there is a vast void space and countless ruins of palaces and fortresses floating in the air. Countless tiny electric lights jump between these models, presenting a situation where the front line is stalemate. .
"Can't we just cross these palaces and attack the Spirit World Clock Tower?" Hao Ren pointed to the large space between the floating palaces, "How about sending some elites to behead them directly?"
As soon as he made this suggestion, the demon hunters around shook their heads, and Tutan sighed: "You don't understand this system. The palaces seem to be empty, but in fact there are intricate defenses, invisible space eddies They are everywhere, and only by occupying the key points of the nodes can these vortexes be closed. Moreover, the energy nodes of Corpus jointly maintain a layer of enchantment outside the clock tower of the spirit world, which is almost invincible."
While talking, Tutan pointed to the torch-shaped towers floating between the palaces, which were energy nodes.
There are dozens of such nodes in the entire Corpus space, and they continuously transmit powerful power to the clock tower of the spirit world, maintaining the so-called "invincible shield", and if all these nodes fall on the Elder Order In the hands, their power can even activate some kind of ancient weapon at the top of the clock tower in the spirit world, instantly destroying all enemies, and even any city on the earth.
"... Is there any loopholes in this system?" Hao Ren rubbed his chin, almost reflexively trying to find a shortcut, "For example, after closing some palaces, there will be system errors..."
Bai Huo shook his head immediately: "So far we haven't found such a loophole."
"Didn't find it?!" Yitzhax immediately heard something in the words, "Didn't you build these defense facilities?"
"These defense systems existed before the demon hunters used Corpus as their base," Tutan said slowly, "They are things that have existed in this space for a long time, and they are extremely powerful, far beyond our control. The elders have spent thousands of years exploring the secrets of this space, but in the end they can only borrow their power according to the existing rules of these relics."
Bai Huo had mentioned before that the Corpus space was not built by the demon hunters, but Hao Ren did not expect that even the defense system inside was left by the ancients. He looked around the high-walled halls around him, and that strange sense of sight came to his mind again: "...how strong is that 'invincible shield'?"
"This question is meaningless, because the most powerful force on this planet so far cannot leave a scratch on the surface of the clock tower of the spiritual world," Tutan shrugged, and then tapped the ground under his feet with his toes, " Even the dilapidated palace under our feet cannot be shaken by the thunder of Zeus or the artillery of modern humans."
Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Bai Huo quietly added next to him: "Do you know why we didn't repair these ruins? Because we couldn't even cut those melted tiles and crooked skeletons from the ruins."
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. (to be continued~^~)
