My players are so fierce

Chapter 702 701. Salute to the deceased!

When Murphy arrived, the goatman spellcasters were all ready.

On the northwest guard tower platform of Fort Courage facing the Black Flame Pass, three Serenade Core Crystals are suspended in the air nearly one meter high. The Goatman Spell Masters used a unique method to allow them to accumulate energy in a short period of time. Enough spiritual power.

Even because the internal energy is too large, dangerous arcs visible to the naked eye are beating on the surface of the crystal, as dazzling as the legendary plasma spark tower.

This is obviously a rapid recharging that consumes the integrity of the crystals, but considering that it is difficult to retain the three crystals intact after tonight's super astral tear, this kind of loss behavior is completely acceptable.

There are a total of seven core crystals in Serenade Barrier. Five have been found now. Three are here and the remaining two are in Shadow Valley. As the war progresses, they will eventually be sent back to the Maginot Line. That will is where it all ends.

This means that there is no barrier crystal in the Scarlet Castle, and it also means that the city without walls is in an "undefended" state.

Murphy, Tris and Miriam saw clearly that if the front line of the Black Disaster could not be defended, then even if they had seven crystals in their hands, the Scarlet Castle could only protect that one city.

That is not the fate Murphy chose for Transia, so these unique protective relics on the continent should be used on the blade!

What's more, the Black Flame Mountain Pass position was clearly protected by the Serenade Barrier but still collapsed. This has proven that this thing is not omnipotent, especially after the appearance of rat men who can walk freely under the ground without being detected. The era of planting ground enchantments is truly over.

So the scene before us should be called "waste utilization".

"Sir Governor, we have calculated the total amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in the three cores and implemented overload protection on them. This way, after the ceremony is over, these valuable objects will not be completely destroyed."

Old Finley, the goatman magician, explained to Murphy in a low voice beside him:

"The principle of this core crystal is complicated, but it is not impossible to analyze. If we can get enough resources, Dark Roots can create a better protective crystal for you. Of course, this will take a while."

"I don't really need this kind of large barrier. Can I make a small barrier that can move freely?"

Murphy asked with interest.

Old Finley turned back and discussed with the two compatriots for a few words, and gave Murphy an affirmative answer.

This made the vampire governor increasingly interested in this group of goatman spellcasters. They seemed to have some rather wonderful knowledge.

"This is my first time hosting Star Boundary Tear, what should I pay attention to?"

Murphy stood at the center of three crystals that were flashing arcs of energy. He reached out and held the astral guide stick inserted there, and asked softly.

The scarred goat man immediately explained:

"You don't need to manipulate spiritual energy to break through the border barrier between the material world and the astral world. We will be responsible for this task. You only need to use this strange astral artifact in your hand to choose an invasion point for the astral tear.

A signpost!

Do you understand what I say?

We had to choose a throwing point in the astral plane for the Black Flame Pass, one that was strong enough to withstand the shattering of the land and the power of the strange evil god that was spreading above it.

The power of darkness that is higher than reality will also have an impact on the star realm, so the coordinates we selected previously cannot be used.

The location we need now is not easy to find in the star realm.

Once the opposite environment is not stable enough, the Star Boundary Tear is likely to be interrupted midway. In the past, such calculation of the landing point required a lot of energy, but you can skip this process."

"I can ask my astral guardian."

Murphy nodded. He looked at the goat man warlock whose black robe was dotted with various constellation symbols and said:

"So, you're an astrologer?"

"The best astrologer and best sorcerer on the continent, Pol Kaos, the first-level scholar of Vidia Abyss City, pays tribute to you, the Governor of Transia."

The black-robed goat man bowed his head and saluted Murphy without being humble or condescending.

This is obviously an "entry assessment".

It knows that it must show its most professional side so that its career in Transia can go more smoothly.

“I’ve actually been curious.”

Murphy put his hand on his heart and began to contact Mannis to "ask for directions". He then whispered to the black-robed astrologer:

"After breaking the boundaries of the material world with the spiritual power of the three crystals in front of us, how powerful can we create the destructive power of astral tearing? You see, I am not a psionicist. I am very familiar with this aspect. Not much is understood.”

"this."

Facing Murphy's inquiry, Astromancer Bol hesitated for a moment. He touched his well-groomed goat's beard and said:

"Strictly speaking, the destructive power of astral tearing is not directly related to the total amount of spiritual energy we use. We only need to break the boundary to let the violent and dirty astral spiritual energy pour into the material world, so its destructive power is directly linked to There is only one indicator, and that is the area of ​​the astral rift we can open.

The larger the area of ​​the tearing crack, the stronger the destructive power of the astral spiritual energy rushing into the material world, and the more things can be swept away when the crack is restored.

But there is actually a little bit of 'trick' involved. "

Goatman glanced at Murphy.

It seemed to have guessed what Murphy really wanted to ask, so it lowered its voice even more and said:

"If you want to enhance the power of the tearing technique under the already fixed astral rift, then I suggest you choose a 'chaotic area' in the astral realm.

It is the kind of area where even the demigods of the astral world cannot survive. There is a terrifying "disordered flow" there for a long time, which can make the concepts of time and space meaningless. Once that energy enters the material world, the stars will The power of the world tearing technique will undoubtedly be expanded to the maximum.

Nothing would remain in the area of ​​the physical world that faced its impact.

But as I said, the astral tear caused by this method is so destructive that it almost never occurs in the physical world, which also means that we have to bear the risk.

and

There are not only gnolls in the Black Flame Pass now, but my Lord Governor, Lord Heather and the soldiers who have not yet had time to evacuate are all trapped in it.

Once you choose this approach, the Splitclaw Gnolls will surely suffer heavy losses, but those who are still alive will surely die as well. "

"Heather will not die. She is the current 'human body' of the Lord of Darkness. If she dies, the efforts of the Lord of Darkness to break out of the seal will be immediately ended. The Lord of Darkness has to protect her! Even in She will also continue to live in the astral world until we find a way to save her."

Murphy spoke, but then he fell silent.

Astromancer Bol has reminded him that when Black Flame Pass fell, not all the soldiers followed the players to Courage Castle. Although the evacuation from the rear has now been completed, it is difficult to say whether all the soldiers in the latter positions have Everyone has left.

Even if the seventeen-kilometer-long position is completely breached by the Jackals, there will definitely still be places to hide. Once Murphy chooses the most destructive astral tearing technique, it means that those who are still holding on to the position will They will also become victims of this counterattack.

Although their number is certainly not too large, they

"They are hopeless, Mr. Murphy!"

Che Che, one of Murphy's biggest fans, leaned on his staff and shouted:

"Even if you don't activate the spell, the power of the Lord of Darkness will engulf them, and the jackals and kobolds will not let them go. This is a necessary sacrifice."

"Young man who doesn't understand anything, shut up!"

The exhausted Lao Qin was so angry that he roared angrily, startling Cheche who was making such nonsense.

Looking at him, he almost slapped Cheche in the face. The young man kept talking about "necessary sacrifices", but he actually couldn't understand the meaning of these five words in this situation.

The young man wanted to retort, but Brother Bang and Brother Mingmiao suppressed his shoulders. Ah Yu even took out a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into Che Che's mouth to shut up the dumb guy. .

"How about we find a way to notify them?"

Mrs. Shui whispered:

"Use psychic amplification, or some other method."

"Can't do it!"

The female goatman spellcaster shook her head and said:

"Not to mention that that side is being eroded by the power of the Lord of Darkness. It is difficult for ordinary psychic spells to be effective. The range alone is enough to make people desperate. Those survivors are scattered on the seventeen-kilometer-long battlefield. You should How can you get them all to hear your thoughts?

This is simply not something that psionics can do.

I think what the vampire guy said just now is a bit silly and he insists on putting a veneer of justice on his cold behavior, but what he said is indeed good.

In this current situation, the rewards you can get in exchange for some appropriate efforts are astonishing.

This is a black disaster after all!

It is a disaster for the entire continent. If the legendary Lord Paying were here, he would not stop you from doing this tragic but necessary thing. "

Murphy raised his finger to signal others to be quiet.

In this depressing scene, he activated quantum communication with Tris and explained the current situation to the Grand Duke. He said:

"You can't reach them by ordinary means, but you and I might be able to."

"Do you mean, using the psychic perception caused by the power of desire?"

Tris immediately understood Murphy's thoughts. She hesitated and said:

"Okay, let me give it a try. It just so happens that Heru is here to help. He has some kind of detective power that can help me spread the range of the flow of soul. Be prepared over there, Murphy, no matter what the result is, right now There is no room for you to hesitate anymore.

The Splitclaw's vanguard are retreating from their positions, fearful of the Dark Lord's majesty.

If you want to cause effective damage to them, you must perform the spell immediately. "

"I understand, I will do it."

Murphy replied.

At the same time, the voice of Endless Mannis also sounded in Murphy's ears:

"Jie Jie Jie, I have to admit, my dear thirteenth contractor, the twelve so-called most powerful bastards in the past combined are not worthy of licking your toes in the area of ​​creative destruction. They don't have the guts. In the ancient country of Callum, a star realm was torn apart under the eyes of the Dragon Emperor, but not only did you do it, you also wanted to maximize the destructive power.

I have come to believe that the Creator’s choice of you was not random.

I have found a place where the astral turmoil you need is located. The best thing is that it is close to the core territory of the silver wolf Kherson. That damn wolf has a grudge against me and didn't she send her offspring to attack you?

Let’s settle all our old and new grudges together this time!

But throwing an evil god at the edge of her territory will definitely lead to retaliation. I'm not afraid. I just hope you can be prepared. "

"Let her come! I have enough troubles now, and I don't want that one."

Murphy replied expressionlessly, and reached out to hold the astral guide staff. The radar module on the top of the metal staff rotated, and began to locate the turbulence in the astral world through the connection between Murphy and Mannis. s position.

The goatman spellcasters also began to cast spells under the leadership of the three leaders. Players and all psionicists in Fort Courage were arranged as "spell jinchūriki" in different areas to stabilize psychic energy as before.

As long as Murphy locks the position and sends a signal, the energy of the three crystals in front of him can instantly penetrate the border of the material world and bring the real ending moment to Black Flame Pass.

But Murphy didn't act immediately.

He looked at the location of Black Flame Pass, waiting for the response from those destined to die.

——

"I am the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture Tris Cavendina Jia Lorraine Lesembra! You should all have heard of my name. I am conveying a message to you with the secret skills of the blood clan at this time. All of you have also heard of my name. Everyone who survived the mountain pass position listen!

The evacuation of Black Flame Pass has been completed, but the gnolls used psychic plague. In order to protect the warriors at the rear, your commander and lord, Ms. Heather, released a dangerous spell to drain away all the plague.

The price is that the entire Black Flame Pass is now at risk of being engulfed by the evil god, and the Splitclaw Jackal who caused all this is retreating from his position.

They think they have won and are waiting for us to get on our knees and beg for mercy.

But Murphy, the Lord of the Transians, doesn't intend to grant their wishes!

He is preparing for a fierce counterattack!

We can assure you that after the counterattack is executed, the Splitclaw clan's base camp will lose all its current troops, turning their victory into a joke in an instant.

But the problem is that the price of this counterattack is likely to be the complete demise of Black Flame Pass, including you.

Under the current situation, we cannot go deep into the position to rescue you. In order to seize the time window, we cannot leave more time for you to break out on your own.

The power of the Lord of Darkness is spreading. I don't want to hide it from you, but soldiers, the way for you to survive has been cut off. "

With the help of the reconnaissance psychic Heru, Tris extended her senses to the entire position, and used the vampire's positioning of life to capture some life signals that were still guarding various parts of the position.

She told them the current situation through a telepathic call with the power of desire. She said:

"Lord Murphy is waiting for your response. We know that there is no other choice left for you, but we still hope to get your understanding. After all, this is about your lives."

"Can I scold you? Mrs. Tracey."

A weak voice was the first to respond.

Because Tris is presiding over the power of desire, the minds of all perceived beings are temporarily connected together at this moment, and this response can be heard by all warriors still alive.

He seemed to be injured and was still coughing painfully. Faced with his question, Tris said with a straight face:

"You can, but I advise you not to do it."

"Forget it, you vampires are not afraid of being insulted anyway, so I'd better save some strength."

The voice smiled, and then he said seriously:

“My name is Patton!

The commander of the ‘Saber-toothed Tiger’ regiment of the third retinue of the Blood Alliance Knights! My team has been decimated, and I am trapped in the tunnel below Position 4. I have just killed the kobolds who wanted to sneak attack me, but I probably won’t survive.

I respond to you and Lord Murphy as Commander!

Please execute counterattack immediately!

Please return the shame and failure that the gnolls have inflicted on us tenfold! My soldiers and I will cheer for you in hell or heaven. "

The voice fell silent, Tris pursed her lips, and asked:

"Do you have any relatives? Maybe I can."

"Gone."

Patton smiled and responded with his last strength:

"If the family is happy and the husband and wife are in love, who the hell would come to Black Flame Mountain Pass to fight with the jackals? Grand Duke Tris, don't be sad about our departure. Everyone alive here has countless people who have perished with the jackals. reasons.

Dying in a glorious counterattack is not a curse for us, nor is it a bad luck.

The people living here are a group of broken spirits!

We were already dead the moment we lost our lives, and now we are just on our last journey to rest. Thank you for giving us a chance to win.

Ah, my head hurts so much, you bastards, you should also speak, don’t let me speak alone.”

"On behalf of the entire regiment, Hunter Geers of the Seventh Regiment of the Blood Alliance Knights, the 'Night Crow' Regiment, requests Lord Murphy to start a counterattack immediately!"

"Second Lieutenant Trillan Laurel of the Kingdom of Castile's Ranger Corps, requesting counterattack. Ahem"

"Fuck the Brass Fortress Artillery Team! We are not traitors! We did not betray the Earth Mother Goddess. Not every Brass Dwarf is as shameless as Kader! In the name of the Mother Goddess Gaia, launch a counterattack.

Kill more bastards! Please. "

"Infantry Major Dunn Hope of the Pioneer Battalion of the Plantagenet Kingdom's Pioneer Corps requests a counterattack! Please tell my mother who is destined to be sad that I will die as a hero, worthy of her training and the illegitimate son my father left me. Last name."

"Fuck! Dunn! Are you trapped too? Damn it. Wait until I come to save you! You still owe me money, don't die."

"Ah, shut up, Ron, you bitch, and let me enjoy some peace and quiet before I die, okay?"

The responses came to Tris one by one through the connection of the soul stream, causing the scarlet witch who once didn't care about life to fall silent.

She dodged and leaped to the rear position, relying on her positioning to use a scarlet hand to rescue Major Ron, the loyal Captain Ironhand and several trapped Plantagenet soldiers who were buried under the rubble. out.

leftover.

It's all too far.

Tris looked at the lightless battlefield that had been shrouded in the aura of the Lord of Darkness. It was like a black hole that was opening, swallowing up all the light and hope.

He said to those people in spiritual contact:

"Then, the request is approved, and the counterattack is about to begin! I salute you in the name of the Blood Vulture Archduke, and go to the dead."

The Blood Vulture Grand Duke turned off the power of desire with an indescribable mentality. She took a deep breath and kicked the detective next to her because she assisted the flow of soul, so after listening to the whole process, she cried like a sissy. Heru, the psychic master, asked him to pay attention to the image problem of Transian soldiers.

Later, the Grand Duke activated quantum communication and said in a hoarse voice to Murphy who was waiting for instructions:

"The people who are going to die have made up their minds, let's start!"

"What is their last wish?"

"Kill more gnolls! The more the better, so that they can be more lively on their way to Hades."

"Okay, I understand."
