Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 89 Mushrooms
The bottom hatch of the Kirov airship opened, and two mechanical arms grabbed a magic Titan and lowered it out of the cabin.
In the cockpit, Luke completed the neural connection with the Magic Titan. With his consciousness connected, all the senses of the Magic Titan gave accurate feedback in his mind, and he could even feel the sharpness of the airflow passing through the body.
Luke opened the eyes of the Magic Titan, and powerful magic energy burst out from his body. The wind element ejected from the nozzle at the rear of the machine turned into fire element. The red tail flame brought a stronger thrust, pushing the machine to shake violently on the fixed bracket.
The mechanical arm was lowered to the lowest position, the pneumatic clamp was opened, and the Magic Titan, which had already stored a large amount of potential energy, rushed forward instantly.
In front of them were five hunting angels, who tried to attack the airbag of the airship, but were blocked by the gargoyles carried by the airship. The magicians located in various parts of the ship used fixed magic amplifiers to call on the surplus magic energy of the airship's elemental fusion reactor to unfold a circular amplification array. The magic cast by the magician was amplified several times after passing through the magic array, and a simple lightning arrow could release the effect of thunder.
With the support of powerful covering magic, more than a dozen gargoyles were able to suppress the five hunting angels firmly, and it would only take some time to wipe them out.
At this time , the Magic Titan rushed into the battle group, and the fire elements gathered on his fists to form explosive gloves. He punched with all his strength, and when the gloves touched the hunting angel, they applied directional explosions. In the impact of the flames, half of the body of a hunting angel flew far away, and the other half was smashed to pieces by the punch.
The Magic Titan swung his fist again. Although a Hunter Angel barely dodged the blow, the shock wave from the explosion of the glove hit its left arm, and one arm disappeared in the flames in an instant. The Magic Titan chased after it with flames, and swung his fist with the explosion glove attached. After a blast, the Hunter Angel was smashed into a pile of burning pieces.
After killing two hunting angels in succession, Luke became more and more fond of this violent and aesthetically pleasing magic Titan. It was definitely a cutting-edge weapon for the Empire to fight against five ancient civilizations. The magic Titan burst into flames and rushed towards the third victim, like an adult man rushing towards a kindergarten child. In a fist-to-flesh explosion, it took away all the remaining hunting angels one by one.
The threat is lifted, and the gargoyles fly to the storage bin, then turn into a flat state and get stuck in the fixed slots one by one.
The attacking magicians also gradually dismantled the magic circles they had deployed. The Kirov airship continued to move forward, and the magic projectiles extended from both sides continuously fired shells containing preset magic at the ground.
Luke glanced around and after making sure there were no other threats, he flew towards the location Owen had reported.
At this time, the hunting king Niltye was extremely depressed. He couldn't understand why the war didn't develop in the direction he expected. The hunting angels that broke in did not kill a lot of people. Instead, after rushing into the city, they were divided and scattered by the complex and tall buildings here.
The hunting angels are very strong, but the Emerald King's Court also has powerful elves. Once the hunting angels are alone, they will soon be besieged. The patrol soldiers of the Royal Court will try their best to contain them and then lure the hunting angels into the preset ambush circle.
During this period, although the hunting angels could cause considerable damage to the forest elves, it was far from what Niltye expected of them.
When the fully armored war machines of the Golden Shield Empire entered the battlefield, the Hunting Angels were pushed completely out of their reach and became the hunted.
A defeat was inevitable, which made Neiltye extremely angry.
So many hunting angels were bred by the Queen and herself with great effort, and consumed a lot of the Queen's energy. Moreover, not only did these hunting angels die in this war, but also a large number of conventional hunters were born one by one from the eggs of the Queen.
Now, they have all been destroyed by a war.
At this time, Her Majesty the Queen was extremely unhappy about the disappearance of the elf Qingkong's body. After knowing that she had suffered such a miserable defeat, I wonder how angry she would be.
So Niltje took action himself.
He got the first blood, he was invincible, he killed a lot of people... Whether it was the elves or the fully armored war machines of the Golden Shield Empire, they all became ghosts under his sword.
He is unstoppable and he is going to kill his way through the entire Emerald Court.
Then he was trapped in the middle of the barrier.
There were four tree-trunk-shaped tall buildings, each with a magic tower on top. With the combined efforts of a large number of elven magicians, a barrier was formed with the four tall buildings as pillars, which just sealed Niltye in the open space in the middle.
Niltye tried many ways to break through the barrier, but none of them worked. Even his best spatial skills were unable to accurately locate the space in the spatial interference created by the magic tower created by the elf magician.
Therefore, Neiltye could only use the clumsy method and rely on brute force to carry out hard destruction.
He swung the Angel Sword, gathering energy into the blade, and slashed at the barrier with all his strength. With each strike, the barrier wall shook violently.
Outside the barrier, the hunters charged towards the four tall buildings, trying to break the gathering from the outside. The forest elves mobilized a large number of troops to block the hunters from the outside and prepare to kill Niltye inside the barrier.
Steam Titans also joined the battle.
Owen negotiated with an elf elder to stop the elves from rushing into the barrier.
"Please wait a moment... Our Prime Minister said he has a way to kill the Hunter King inside."
The elf elder said anxiously: "Your Prime Minister has just arrived at the Emerald King's Court. He has never seen a hunting king of this level. How can he kill him? Don't stop us, human! The children of the forest elves are desperately trying to buy time for us, and the barrier is about to collapse. We must kill him as soon as possible!"
Niltye slashed at the barrier again, and the wall of the barrier shook like a bubble that was about to burst.
Owen looked at the barrier behind him and stood firmly in front of the elves: "Please believe our Prime Minister, he will be here soon..."
At this time, a whistling sound was heard from the sky, and a fireball spewing flames rushed straight towards here.
After receiving the message, Owen immediately said to the elf elder: "That is our Prime Minister. Please cooperate to open the barrier and let the Prime Minister enter smoothly."
"Meteor!" The elder looked at the sky, and the fireball was like a real meteorite falling. Seeing that the fireball was about to hit the barrier, the elder shouted: "Open the upper barrier and let him in."
The upper barrier opened at the moment when the fireball was about to hit.
Niltye in the barrier rushed upwards, trying to take the opportunity to escape, but what greeted him was a cloud of fire pressing down. A fist in the cloud of fire rushed straight to his face, and Niltye could only dodge, and was spun several times in the air by the explosion.
By the time Neiltye had steadied himself and fanned a strong wind to disperse the fire clouds, the top layer of the barrier had closed again.
Damn it!
Niltye looked angrily at the guy who blocked him, and then froze.
What is this?
It is somewhat similar to those fully armored war machines outside, but those fully armored war machines obviously do not have the ability to fly, while the war machine made of steel in front of it can fly steadily in the air.
That's steel. What could make such a huge piece of steel fly and have such good maneuverability?
Niltye did not act rashly in the face of the unknown enemy. Countless leaves floated from his wings and then dispersed into a wall of leaf blades.
"You are from the Golden Shield Empire. This is not your war. I advise you to leave the Emerald Forest before the Queen designates the Golden Shield Empire as an enemy... Otherwise, after the headhunters destroy the forest elves, they will choose the Golden Shield Empire as our next target to conquer."
Rows of fireballs gathered in the airspace behind the Magic Titan, and its eyes glowed red and then turned purple.
Lightning chains ran between the fireballs, forming a spreading electric fire net.
A thunderous voice sounded: "Since you know that I am from the Golden Shield Empire, you should know that the Headhunters are on the list of enemies that the Empire must eliminate.
Niltye, not only you can be resurrected.
His Majesty Qingkong has been reborn on the World Tree."
"She is resurrected..." Niltye confirmed his guess. After all, such a large body could not just disappear. The Hunting Queen and he both speculated that the World Tree was behind it. Now it seems that his guess was correct. Niltye was not nervous about Qingkong's resurrection: "What if she is resurrected? We can kill her once, and we can kill her a second time! Next time, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely transform her before she is resurrected."
"Then you should go back to the Hunting Queen's lair and tell her... Her Majesty Qingkong said that he will give her a big surprise the next time they meet."
Luke said, and immediately cast the spell that had already been formed.
All the fireballs shot towards Niltye together, and the electric chain continued to travel between the fireballs. The fireballs that were no longer under control were activated by the electric energy to activate the fire elements in their memory. The red fireballs gradually turned purple-red during flight, and the already destructive fire elements became more violent and unstable.
Neiltye threw out all the leaves behind him. The high-speed spinning leaves brought up a strong whirlwind, and the leaves' edges turned metallic, forming a sharp blade storm.
The storm collided with the fire net, and the unstable energy accumulated in the fireball exploded.
The space within the barrier was instantly filled with violent energy, the temperature rose, and the pressure also rose sharply. The outer wall of the barrier was bulged outward by the energy, and the four supporting high-rise buildings made a sound of twisting steel bars, and large pieces of bricks and stones fell down like a waterfall.
Outside the barrier, the elven magicians who had received the tactical notification immediately opened the upper barrier.
At this moment, the energy accumulated in the barrier finally found an outlet.
Amid the sonic explosion, a column of fire shot up into the sky, and smoke and dust rolled upward to form a spectacular mushroom cloud.
The barrier finally collapsed, and four tall buildings collapsed. Dust surged like waves along the streets on all sides in the shock wave.
In the barrier, Niltye and the Magic Titan were ejected along with bricks, stones, and countless unknown debris. They kept tumbling in the upward shock wave, and were constantly hit from various angles.
In the cockpit of the Magic Titan, Luke was wrapped in a liquid energy ball, and the artifact tree sprout extended two much-grown leaves from under his collar.
A secret message came out of Luke's mouth.
“Let’s grow mushrooms together”
The huge mushroom cloud formed by the explosion remained still as the secret technique was activated.
As a secret technique developed by Anno players, the original purpose of developing the secret technique of "Grow Mushrooms Together" was to create stop-motion art. The player who created this secret technique first planted this kind of "mushrooms" all over his world. From the constant pursuit of big "mushrooms" to the design of different shapes and colors, destruction and aesthetics are organically combined in this kind of art.
At the same time, "Let's grow mushrooms together" is also an excellent confinement secret technique.
Inside the "mushroom", the space will be in a quasi-solidified state, and people trapped inside will feel like they are trapped in asphalt.
At this time, Neiltye and the Magic Titan were both trapped in this space, surrounded by the same still dust and various debris blown up by the explosion.
Niltye moved his body with great difficulty, but even if he used all his strength, the movement was very small. He used the space skill again... He was able to move, but only a little bit.
Niltye knew that his current situation must be related to the strange war machine, which was less than 20 meters away from him, surrounded by bricks and stones. It was also fixed there and could not move. It seemed that this secret technique was an indiscriminate attack.
So Niltye struggled to move towards the Magic Titan... little by little, little by little.
But the developers of the secret arts certainly would not trap themselves in space confinement. That was only an embarrassing problem in the early days of the secret arts, and the player could only escape from the confinement by suffocating to death and resurrecting. Later, this was no longer a problem.
In the cockpit of the Magic Titan, Luke was in a spatial confinement, and he also had to use all his strength to move a little bit. However, the artifact tree bud was not affected by the confinement. It stretched out most of its body from Luke's collar, pushed Luke's shoulder and spoke "babbling".
"Secret..." Luke opened his mouth slowly, his voice like a radio without power: "...Secret..."
The artifact tree bud immediately understood, it shook its leaves, and the green halo slowly spread out in circles.
Luke slowly stretched out his left hand, revealing a dried mushroom inside.
"……melt……"
The dried mushrooms turned into powder in an instant and then dispersed into a piece of shining dust.
Light dust covered Luke's entire body, and he immediately gasped as if alive: "Fortunately, that player didn't make up a secret code for this secret technique."
Luke kicked open the cockpit door and climbed out.
He stood on the hatch and observed the Magic Titan, then compared it with the coverage of the light dust on his body, and gave up the idea of taking the Magic Titan out.
Too big!
Just stay here and wait until the secret technique is lifted from outside, then we can collect it.
Finally, Luke waved his hand at the stunned Niltye: "It's a pity that you can't suffocate to death, so you can only be trapped here. If you can't die, you can't be resurrected. I hope that during your absence, your queen will not find a new love.
goodbye!"
Luke jumped out of the cockpit door and quickly disappeared in the thick smoke and dust.
