Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 93: The Battle at the Queen's Lair
Library No. 1.
After emergency repairs, it has been restored to its original state. The stairs in the air rotate irregularly, and the bookshelves also rotate randomly. This phenomenon is affected by the natural magnetic field waves of the Emerald Forest.
To find the magic spring, we need to use this natural magnetic field wave to filter, screen and identify the magnetic field wave belonging to the magic spring. This kind of academic research has been deeply studied in the Emerald Magic Academy, and there are many related books for reference.
Luke stood in the library, and couldn't help but think of the plot in the Anno game where he was looking for the magic spring. He stretched out his armored hand, and the rotating stairs and bookshelves stopped immediately.
Dean Vidal closed the door of the library and said to Luke, "Let me operate the array! Last time, Queen Clear Sky and I located the Magic Spring, but the Hunting Queen located it in reverse and teleported the Hunting Angel Niltye over.
If anything dangerous comes this time, you will need to take action to deal with it."
Luke released the traction of the formation, made room for the center, and reminded Dean Bidar: "Your physical condition is very poor. Running the formation requires a lot of magic power. Are you sure you can hold on?"
"We have to support it even if we can't..." Dean Vidal walked to the formation position, and all the formation modules in the entire library were put into operation: "I am familiar with this formation, and it has a relatively high success rate."
The map of the Emerald Forest appeared on the library dome, and the crisscrossed longitude and latitude lines swayed on the map to locate the Hunting Queen's lair. When the crosshairs swayed to the Horse Mane area of the Unicorn Mountains, the Hunting Queen's interference appeared.
There is an invisible wall of air in an area, and the crosshairs cannot enter it.
But this time, there are accurate coordinates sent by Qingkong.
Under the operation of Dean Vidal, the crosshairs hovered outside the air wall for a while and then cut in smoothly.
The map of Emerald Forest is raised from flat to three-dimensional.
A vertical line is passed through the intersection of the crosshairs, and the intersection begins the vertical positioning.
As they approached the Magic Spring, the pressure from the Queen Hunting grew stronger. Sweat broke out on Dean Vidal 's forehead, and his waist bent unconsciously due to the pressure of squeezing out his magic power.
The intersection was pressed downwards little by little, and finally stopped at the correct position.
"King Taotie, found it!"
Luke flapped his dragon wings and flew up. He passed through the rotating stairs and entered the three-dimensional map of the Emerald Forest under the dome.
Five magic circles unfolded around him, and ancient dragon language was chanted by Taotie.
In the gap of the dragon armor's neck, the artifact tree bud poked its head out from inside, babbling in the world tree language.
A beam of colorful light and a beam of green light drilled into the intersection of the positioning from both sides, and a ripple spread across the map of the Emerald Forest. Soon, there was a vibration in Library No. 1, and in the turbulence, the books that were collected back into the bookshelf began to fall down again.
Dean Vidal tried his best to support the operation of the formation. He could no longer raise his head and his consciousness was only able to output magic power.
The riverbed at the bottom of the Fourth Canyon in the Horse Mane Zone of the Unicorn Mountains was the epicenter of this earthquake. The energy from underground exploded, forcibly tearing a large crack along the center line of the riverbed. The headhunters stationed here were caught off guard and fell into the crack one after another. Another earthquake, the opened cracks were pressed closed, the cliffs on both sides of the valley were broken, and large pieces of stone filled the valley like a flood.
The frequency of earthquakes was increasing, and the entire mountainous area seemed to have fallen into a cradle, rising and falling with each huge earthquake.
The sudden earthquake lasted about twenty minutes, and when it stopped, the valley was almost filled up, with turbid groundwater gushing upwards everywhere.
In the No. 1 Library of the Emerald Magic Academy, Dean Vidal, overwhelmed, fell to his knees and then fell headfirst to the ground.
Luke flew down from above and picked up Dean Vidal.
His body was as thin as a dead branch and as light as a fallen leaf.
"Dean, Dean...wake up..."
As Luke cast the healing magic, Dean Vidal slowly opened his eyes and asked the first question: "Did it work?"
"Success!" Luke stopped casting the spell. The old elf was already exhausted and no amount of energy could help. "I pulled out the magic spring, and the location is the colorful garden."
"Colorful Garden..." Dean Vidal smiled. "It's a beautiful place. There are no tall trees, only flowers that bloom all year round. When I was young, my father often took me there to play, and my mother would draw everything she saw.
When we were tired from playing, we sat beside her and watched her draw..."
Dean Vidal stretched out his hand, which was exactly where the colorful garden was on the map above. He grasped it, then dropped it weakly.
"Painting a sea of flowers and a flying dragon..."
Luke let out a heavy breath, and walked out of the library holding Dean Vidal's body. The anxiously waiting elven wizards gathered around him and asked about the dean's condition.
"The dean has exhausted his life..." Luke handed the body of Dean Vidal to one of the elf wizards, and then said to Professor Makatina: "Notify King Sanye immediately that the hunting queen's nest is in the colorful garden. Now she only has the nest and the headhunters in the nest. Notify the elf warriors near the colorful garden to attack immediately and don't give the main force of the headhunters a chance to rescue.
Mages of the Emerald Magic Academy, stay to defend the academy, and all faculty members, use whatever means you can, and head to the Colorful Garden at full speed. We cannot let down the opportunity that Dean Vidal created with his life, and no matter what we see, we must kill the Hunting Queen. "
The death of Dean Bidar plunged all the elves into grief, and their movements became very slow.
Luke yelled, "Quick!"
The impact of the mental wave made all the elves wake up instantly. They finally realized what they should do and immediately dispersed to complete their tasks.
Soon, a group of elven wizards riding Pegasus and griffins left the academy first, and then the elven wizards riding airships and various alchemical flying props headed for the colorful garden.
In order to recapture the Emerald Forest and to avenge Dean Vidal, the mages of the Emerald Magic Academy paved a flying path in the sky.
The black dragon Bale flew backwards into the academy.
He landed in front of Luke and replied with his head down, "The angels did not leave the Emerald Forest. They first cruised near the seashore and flew deep into the forest after the earthquake. When I came back, I saw a golden light from the Emerald King's Court flying deep into the forest. It must be the Shining Gold Man."
"knew!"
Luke ordered the Black Dragon Bale to take off and stand by, then found Shelley and went to a secluded place.
Shelley knew that the Taotie King was her own Prime Minister. After confirming that there were no elves around paying attention to this place, she asked in a low voice: "My Lord, do you have any orders?"
"You have nothing to do here. Now go to the Kirov steam airship and take over the command of the airship. Move the airship to the mushroom cloud of the Emerald King's Court and use the method I taught you to remove the secret spell. If the trapped hunting king Niltye escapes, let him escape. You are responsible for recovering the magic Titan and loading a batch of steam Titans to the colorful garden.
When you get to the Colorful Garden, you can order the Steam Titan to join the battle and the airship to be on alert to prevent attacks. When you see me appear as the Taotie King, you can drive the Magic Titan into the Hunting Queen's lair. Miss Qingkong is inside, you can just give the Magic Titan to her. "
Shelley asked in surprise: "Isn't Miss Qingkong at the World Tree?"
"I lied to them... Miss Clear Sky is lurking in the lair now, you just need to do as I say."
"As you command, sir!"
Shelley quickly left the Emerald Magic Academy.
Luke flew into the air, landed on the black dragon Bale, and flew towards the colorful garden with the magician brigade of the Emerald Magic Academy.
In the direction of the Emerald Palace, a large group of Pegasus and griffins flew into the depths of the forest along with the steam airship.
The decisive battle has begun.
Before pulling the magic spring, neither Luke nor Dean Vidal could accurately predict where the magic spring would be pulled to, and could only make a rough estimate based on calculations and Dean Vidal's experience. Therefore, the patrols were ambushed in a dotted pattern in the predicted area, so that as long as the hunting queen appeared, one or several patrols would arrive and launch an attack in the first time.
The surrounding troops rushed to support, attacked first and killed the hunting queen as soon as possible, leaving no chance for the headhunters to defend or rescue.
It was because of this arrangement that when the Hunting Queen's Lair appeared in the colorful garden, a nearby elf patrol discovered it.
The Hunting Queen's nest that was pulled out together was very large, like a very large ugly tumor growing in a beautiful sea of flowers. The tumor was covered with countless holes, and black pipes extended into the tumor.
The first patrol team to arrive consisted of only about twenty elves. Faced with this huge hunting queen's nest, they did not care about the danger inside and just found a hole and rushed in.
Owls were circling and crying in the sky. Groups of elf patrolmen who had received the news rushed out of the woods and also rushed into the nest without hesitation.
The battle took place in the Hunt Queen's Lair.
With support from the nearby headhunters, the battle spread to the sea of flowers and then extended to the forest.
The Hunting Queen's Lair became the center of the battle between the Headhunters and the Forest Elves, with one side desperately trying to rescue it and the other side desperately trying to attack it.
The battle lasted from day to night and from night to day. There was not a single flower to be seen in the colorful garden. The soil had been turned over and over again, and in its place were corpses of various dead bodies.
The attacking forest elves gave up all their tactics. They had no idea what the battle inside the Hunting Queen's Lair would be like. They only knew that if they lost this time, the forest elves would be driven out of their homes.
The hunting angel Niltye who escaped from the Emerald Court hurried to the Magic Spring.
At this time, the Hunting Queen was lying on the edge of the pool with her eyes closed as if she was sleeping, and she didn't seem to care about the fighting outside.
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry…” Niltye stepped forward and knelt in front of the queen: “I met a very powerful guy. He used a secret technique to seal me up. I just managed to escape.”
The Hunting Queen half-opened her eyes and looked at Niltye, and said calmly: "The enemy we encountered is very powerful. He was able to pull out the magic spring. The headhunters were born too recently and know too little about this world."
Niltye said: "Your Majesty, there are only five ancient civilizations in this world that have the ability to pull the magic spring. The current situation shows that there are ancient civilizations helping the forest elves. I know ancient civilizations. If the forest elves do not pay a corresponding price, they will never take action.
The Emerald Forest has a very special status. No matter which ancient civilization occupies it, it will arouse the vigilance of other ancient civilizations.
Your Majesty... I suggest you give up the Magic Spring and take the remaining headhunters into hiding underground. After the world is in turmoil, we can come out again to fight for the Emerald Forest."
"Niltye, the headhunters have a future only if I have the magic spring. If we give up the power of the magic spring, we will not be able to survive the pursuit of the forest elves." The Hunting Queen reached out and touched Niltye's chin: "You came back just in time! Go out and fight for me. As long as you can delay more time, I can breed a large army of headhunters. When the headhunters from other places come to support us, we may be able to wipe out all our enemies here."
Niltye looked around. The mucous membrane was filled with eggs densely packed next to each other. The Queen of Hunting was using all her strength to breed the hunters.
Looking at the pool again, you can see several Elf Hunting Kings working hard to mate with the Queen underwater.
Niltye wanted to join in, but hunting angels cannot be reproduced in a short time. Now he needs to fight his way out and stop the attack of the forest elves.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will never let anything come in to disturb you."
The Hunting Queen waved her hands and closed her eyes.
Niltje killed all the forest elves he encountered along the way and rushed out of the nest. The remaining hunting angels in the nest also followed the Queen's order and rushed out to guard Niltje.
However, before the hunting angels could gain a foothold, a group of angels suddenly flew out from the dense forest not far away. They were wearing armor and were full of fighting spirit, vowing to kill all these evil creatures that blasphemed the angels.
Feeling the murderous intent locked on him, Niltye swung his sword to block, withstanding the heavy blow from the leading angel.
"Archangel Elzerel!"
"Niltye!" Elzer roared angrily, "You can recognize me, which means your original consciousness has not been wiped out, which makes your crime even worse. Accept the trial, only annihilation can wash away the sins you have committed!"
Angels and hunting angels fought each other.
In the magic spring, the hunting queen and her kings worked hard to breed hunters. This process was not enjoyable for her at all, but rather she felt exhausted and powerless, and could only complete all the steps in a half-asleep state.
Faintly, she heard the sound of metal boots walking on stone.
The sound came along the edge of the pond and finally stopped beside him.
"Beautiful lady, do you need a massage?"
