Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 60: The Power of the Ninth Level Oasis
Southern Gui Realm, Yunhui Territory, the capital of the Red Sand King.
The huge pyramid-shaped aircraft pierced through the clouds and slowly landed at the port of the Royal Capital Oasis. The staff on standby nearby quickly stepped forward and unloaded batches of cargo boxes filled with war supplies from the pyramid aircraft.
The entire Red Sand Kingdom seemed to have entered a tense state of preparation for war.
The other two kingdoms are also making intensive preparations.
The old ruler of Chisha overlooked the entire capital from afar with a solemn expression. The promotion war brought considerable pressure to the entire Chisha Kingdom.
The Chisha Kingdom is not the weakest among the seven major countries of Yunhui, but it is recognized as the poorest one.
The promotion war will last for three days and three nights, and the amount of potions, ghost crystals, and various war materials consumed during this period is undoubtedly astronomical. If you don't count it, you won't know. As soon as the old king estimated it, he found that it would be a little difficult for Chisha to come up with this amount of resources. They don't have that many mobile ghost crystals.
Otherwise, they, Chisha, would not have delayed their promotion again and again.
On the other hand, the unexpected event encountered by Shuiman Kingdom during its promotion also sounded a wake-up call to the other three kingdoms including Chisha.
The old Lord of Chisha frowned and thought slowly.
He did not purchase any intelligence information from the Neverwinter Empire, but when it came to the disasters that Oasis would face when it was promoted to level nine, the old Lord of Chisha was confident that he was definitely one of the most experienced people.
It's nothing, he participated in three ninth-level oasis promotion battles as a hired gun.
This includes the scene where water flooded the country!
"Unlike previous promotions, the biggest feature of the eighth promotion is that it is too durable. When faced with extremely high-intensity battles, even the Seven Awakening Myths cannot hold out for too long."
"Therefore, we must prepare a sufficient amount of Water of Life to ensure that the mythical forces will not be forced to withdraw from the battlefield after fighting for several hours."
"besides……"
On the first day, there were 33 to 46 Seven-Star Evil Spirits appearing in the Evil Tide.
On the second day, 41 to 59 Seven-Star Evil Spirits appeared.
In terms of numbers, it is not a problem. When the Red Sand Country starts the promotion war, he can also hire strong men from Yuntu, Shuiman and other countries as reinforcements.
What's more, the seven evil stars did not emerge in a swarm, but appeared one after another.
It seemed that the human myths could carry out a righteous beating and easily kill the evil. However, this was not the case. The almost infinite number of evil waves also put a lot of pressure on the myths and demigods defending the city.
Myth's body was far from strong enough to withstand the attacks from the sky.
A demigod only needs to open his Dharma image to ignore everything. But does he have to use his Dharma image to deal with ordinary evil spirits? This is too costly.
The old ruler of Akasaga wrote in his logbook:
"In the battle to defend the capital of Yuntu, two myths were severely damaged on the first day, and one myth fell on the second day. After these two days, the overall combat power of the myths has dropped by at least 30%."
"The King of Gumu is fighting to defend the city. Four myths were severely damaged in the past two days."
"As for the flooded country?"
They are even more miserable. In the past two days, two myths died and four myths were seriously injured.
They were all seriously injured or even killed when they were alone in the deep evil tide and killed the high-risk evil. Sometimes the accident came too suddenly, and the myth was instantly extinguished in the waves, and they, the demigods, were too late to rush to help.
After all, even a demigod cannot act recklessly.
Even the old Lord Akasaga had to admit that when defending a city for others, he and his own myths were relatively conservative, and it was absolutely impossible for him to fight for his life for another country.
During the first two days of defending the city, he, a demigod, occasionally went deep into the evil tide to fight, but because of the myth of their red sand, he couldn't bear to let any of them risk their lives to go deep into it.
However, by the same token, when their Chisha country starts the promotion war, they will have to rely on their own strong men in Chisha to take risks and go deep into the evil tide to kill high-risk targets.
Of course they knew that they had to conserve their strength and prepare for the most dangerous third day.
However, it was already difficult to resist the evil tide in the first two days, and it was difficult to ensure that no myths fell. He could not take care of the lives of ordinary soldiers and civilians.
"Old Lord, if we use the intensity of the Yuntu Nation's siege as a preview, we may have lost more than 1,000 elite warriors in the first two days, and the casualties of the people in the city are estimated to be between 30,000 and 300,000."
"This is the limit of what we can do. The damage cannot be reduced even by one percentage point. After all, the enemies we face in this war are too powerful. Many evil spirits even appear directly in the city. Sacrifices are inevitable. We have to try our best to preserve our high-end combat power to deal with the super impact on the third day."
"If we encounter a major accident like the flooding of the country, then we must be prepared to lose half of the city."
"Old Lord, do you think it will take some more time to prepare..."
The old Lord Chisha shook his head.
Preparation? What the Red Sand Nation can prepare has basically reached its limit. If they delay any further, their national strength will hardly improve significantly.
They have to take certain risks.
“Time waits for no one.”
"In the face of disaster, we have no choice but to upgrade Oasis as soon as possible so that we can prepare for the next step. Otherwise, when the dark wave covers the whole world, our Red Sand Nation may only be a symbol of history."
The ninth-level oasis has undergone tremendous changes compared to the eighth-level oasis!
It might not allow him to find a way to a higher position, but it would allow him to have the power to fight against higher positions. If the right power is born in their Red Sand Oasis, he might be able to control a higher power.
And all of this starts from the ninth-level oasis.
…
…
"Report the current situation."
"Okay, Master. Currently, 129 soldiers are injured. No soldiers or civilians have died, but 19 areas in our city have been damaged."
"In addition, we have killed 223 Seven-Star Evil Spirits."
Thanks to Xinhuo's top technology and Mentor Fang's lavish spending, the Spark City was built in a short time, but its interior looks like it was made of countless mountains of gold.
——They have enough shelters and their defensive rituals are strong enough.
Even so, some evil still breeds directly inside the shelter. Fortunately, with the protection of the Dawn Lighthouse, the spread of the gray fog was greatly weakened. Fang You even concentrated the light of dawn on the shelter.
There are also many awakened masters guarding inside the shelter.
Outside, each city area is guarded by myths in turn - the mythical strongmen can stand at the forefront of the defense line and face the tide of evil, and while they are resting and recovering, they can always keep an eye on the defended city area and give a devastating blow to the evil spirits that have sneaked into the city.
"However, it will be difficult to avoid any casualties in the future."
"The war to advance to the ninth level oasis is too stressful."
Fang You spread out his spiritual thoughts and keenly captured the changes in the gray fog in the distance.
As if a door to space had been opened, an extremely huge head slowly emerged from the fog and appeared in the world!
Bang——
With a step as big as a mountain, it crushed thousands of small evil spirits into powder. It walked forward, wading through a black bloody path paved with the evil spirits' flesh.
The next moment,
boom--
The golden sword river gathered above the sky, breaking through the surging evil waves with unstoppable force, and then tearing open the body of the eight-star evil being with the remaining force.
In just one minute, this eight-star evil spirit that had just appeared on the scene was killed and died in a very dignified manner.
However, this is merely the clarion call for the outbreak of a sinister tide.
In just a short moment, seven-star evil spirits appeared one after another from all directions, there were as many as twenty or thirty of them, and there were also several eight-star evil spirits.
As these evil spirits continue to be born, the erosion of the evil world is also surging.
The sky was growing darker and darker, and even the dozens of towering dawn lighthouses could hardly illuminate it.
At the end of the sight, a thick gray fog wall was slowly advancing. In contrast, the land of Spark Oasis was rapidly losing its vitality, and it was visibly transformed into a dead gray-black color, spreading rapidly inch by inch.
In just tens of seconds, the new land extended by the oasis upgrade was completely eroded.
But the erosion of filth has not stopped. The land of Spark Oasis is still shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their strategic space is getting smaller and smaller.
Fortunately, in order to earn destiny points, Fang You had reserved enough space outside the city early on.
Even so, the continued loss of land has resulted in many evil spirits being able to attack city walls and defenses before they even set foot in the oasis.
At this time, Fang You didn't care whether he could earn fate points or not. The huge cannons of the ghost crystals opened fire quickly, and the dazzling energy beams broke through the fog wall, destroying countless ghosts and evil spirits in the ghost world.
However, the gray fog is still moving forward!
The intensity of the erosion is several times greater than described in the intelligence!
"Use the Rite of Popularity."
The ritual stone tablets placed in various places in the city, which have long accumulated a large amount of popularity factors, are activated by the awakened people who are on standby.
In an instant, an invisible force spread and stopped the erosion.
One crisis is averted, but in the blink of an eye, another crisis comes.
The guarding ritual was overloaded. This city guarding ritual was linked to the Infinite Box, so theoretically there would be no danger of energy exhaustion. However, the ritual had an upper limit, and at this moment, the energy of the light curtain in a certain area had dropped significantly. If it was hit again, the light curtain in this area might shatter directly.
They had no way to find any shortcuts, so they just had to do it!
Increase the output of this area.
The incarnation of the black knife sits in the command center, keeping an eye on all directions and commanding the overall situation.
The real body of Black Knife came to this defense area and went straight through the light curtain.
He was alone, but he still walked forward in the face of thousands of evil spirits. The more he walked, the more people followed behind Black Knife.
Ten people! A hundred people! A thousand people! Ten thousand people!
He alone is a legion.
There were fierce battles on the battlefields everywhere, and no one defense zone was the focus of the attack by Gui Xie. Because, every defense zone was.
Even a solid defense line can be breached if you are not careful.
He heard that the entire defense line of the capital of Shuiman State was destroyed, and the defenders had to evacuate to the inner city wall and rely on a new line of defense.
No section of the Spark City's wall defenses has been breached yet.
However, the soldiers were growing tired.
During this period, a great crisis occurred. An eight-star evil spirit, several seven-star evil spirits, and countless ordinary evil spirits descended into the city together.
When the eight evil stars appeared, an entire city district was reduced to ruins.
Its filth would spread, and in a short while an area of dozens or hundreds of miles could be turned into a dead zone.
Liu Feng didn't dare to take action.
When his sword swings down, Guixie may not survive and the whole city will be divided in half.
Fang You grasped the power of the world and prepared to take action.
However, he also prepared a backup plan - a person - Qianqiu. Since the beginning of the war, the core of Xinhuo Qianqiu, who rarely took action and failed to get many kills, exploded with all his strength at this moment.
He first killed several Seven-Star Evil Spirits silently with a glance, and then stared at the remaining big BOSS, the Eight-Star Evil Spirit, from a distance.
The next second,
The Eight-Star Guixie died, Qianqiu was slightly injured and his body was hollowed out, and he retreated from the scene with a pale face.
His appearance duration: 3 seconds.
This exquisite kill is still just a small microcosm of this massive battle to defend the city.
Guixie is still charging.
The defense line kept fluctuating between slightly critical, relatively critical, and very critical.
Fang You looked down at the battlefield and counted the time.
The three days and three nights of wave impact time limit may not be accurate. According to convention, the promotion disaster they encounter may last longer.
However, Fang You observed the waves of the River of Destiny and was able to see some clues.
Three days and three nights...the wave is almost over.
But before the end, there will inevitably be the final and most violent wave.
His eyes widened, "Here it comes!"
East, South, North.
The strong law wave dispersed the gray fog, making the whole world seem silent. Even though the location where the three high-ranking evil spirits appeared was far away from the oasis, the soldiers guarding the city could still see the giant shadow in the gray fog.
They seemed to be about to burst the sky.
Arriving here, the warriors did not dare to continue looking. Even though there was the barrier of legendary rituals and the protection of the light of dawn, they did not dare to be so suicidal as to look directly at a high and evil being.
They are all the source of filth!
These three sources of filth are approaching the oasis.
"We can't let them get near the oasis!"
Otherwise, the already critical oasis defense line might be completely broken. Therefore, even if he had to withstand the pressure of the evil wave, he had to choose a battlefield location outside the oasis and under the gray fog.
Fang You releases the secret doll.
"Secret Doll and Zhou Bao each hold back a high-ranking evil spirit, and you quickly kill the remaining one!"
The Secret Doll has high-level strength. It is not realistic to kill a high-level evil spirit with extremely strong vitality alone, but it is not difficult to hold it back. Even under the bombardment of all the evil spirits, the Secret Doll can still last on the battlefield.
It can fight for days and nights!
The treasures in Area 2 are not as durable, but they are also capable of supporting for a period of time.
He crashed into the depths of the evil tide and opened the form of the Dragon King with four legs on the ground.
On that day he could only barely take on one disaster star, but today Zhou Bao has reached the peak of demigod, has perfected his Dharma image, and has mastered a certain earth-related law.
He already possesses strength far beyond his peak back then.
He looked back at the brightly lit city, and an undefeated will rose on his chubby young face.
"I won't lose this battle again."
The Immortal Dragon King withstood the charge of the high-ranking evil.
…
The most appropriate tactic is to use more numbers against fewer, quickly kill a high-level evil spirit, and then concentrate your strength to kill the second and third ones.
Fang You pondered secretly and looked towards the third battlefield.
As for himself? He had to save his "strike force" in case of unexpected situations.
Qianhong, who is in charge of the organization's combat power, welcomed the third high position.
At the same time, the demigod Liufeng, who had mastered the law of war, and possessed extreme lethality, continuously attacked from the side.
An Jianyou, who was standing on the city wall and commanding Guixie from afar, played an auxiliary role.
How do you lose three against one?
Losing is of course impossible. As a weapon of war, Qianhong is best at dealing with these huge evil creatures.
It continuously outputs energy.
Outside the oasis, one sun after another rises into the sky, dazzling and bright!
City of Falling Stars.
Bai Laizemon trembled, "Is there another high-level battle? As the disaster approaches, the battles between high-level beings are breaking out more and more frequently!"
Broken Sea.
Sage Bai Yao looked up, "Where is the battle for the high position? Which two sides are they?"
He frowned and continued to track the fluctuations of the laws.
However, high-level battles had broken out frequently during this period, and the laws of the strange world had long become chaotic. He couldn't determine the east, west, south, and north for a while, and could only roughly judge that the battle location was not far from the Broken Sea.
At most, there are dozens of domains between them.
Could it be that an oasis is being promoted to level nine?
The powerful fluctuations of the law quickly dissipated, and Sage Bai Yao shook his head, "I was just guessing."
…
After spending more than ten minutes, the Light Red Team finally killed the first high-level evil spirit and opened up an important breakthrough.
Fang You finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was stunned again the next moment.
The second battlefield
In front of the towering rock dragon statue, a red dot appeared in the center of the tall and evil body, and then continued to spread around like red roots.
It was like a blood line of killing! It instantly spread to the whole body of this evil being.
Puff——
Like rivers of blood constantly flowing out.
A petite figure covered in blood emerged from the sea of blood, opened her mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of evil blood.
There was a real madness and bloodthirstiness in her eyes, which turned into a red beam of light and crashed into the only remaining high-ranking evil spirit.
After a while,
Chi Yan came out and was killed at a high position.
Liu Feng and his companions had just arrived at the battlefield.
Liu Feng: Steal the monster? I dare not steal it. I dare not steal it.
An Jianyou:!!! This kid is so scary (￣△￣；)
The three high-ranking beings were the final ripples of this disaster.
After these three high-ranking officials were killed, Chi Yan seemed to have regained his bloodthirsty nature and pierced through several seven-star and eight-star evil spirits with dissatisfaction before flying back to the city, tilting his head and staring blankly.
Qianhong, Liufeng and An Jianyou gathered themselves together and cleared out the remaining high-level evil spirits.
After a while, the surging gray fog became less dense, and the evil waves became sparser at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The number of evil creatures that are breeding is plummeting.
About an hour later, the gray fog returned to a stable state, and no more evil things continued to emerge.
After another hour, the soldiers who went out of the city to fight finally wiped out the evil.
Looking at the sunlight that was once again shining on the earth, they sat down on the blood-stained ground and laughed heartily.
The oasis began to expand with a rumbling sound, and the dead ground began to grow green again.
A pleasant panel prompt sound also rang in Fang You's ears.
〔bite!〕
