After breaking through the beholder's defense, he continued to move forward no more than a few hundred feet.
The sewer suddenly opened up.
However, this openness is not the design of Efraska itself.
It is easy to see that the sewer here was shot by the beholder's "dissociation ray" countless times.
The surrounding walls were broken into an "eight" shape, and there were irregular potholes everywhere on the walls.
The height of the cave ceiling is also rising suddenly, and like the surrounding walls, it is also full of pits and pits. It is obviously a change caused by the dissociation of the beholder.
However, this is actually nothing. At least, it can still be regarded as a passage here, but it is too open.
What really moved Isaac and the others was at the end of the "eight"-shaped passage. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the edge. There were even more giant pillars in it, and each giant pillar was erected more than once. It is a hundred feet high. However, even though it is a forest of giant pillars, the first impression still gives people the impression that it is a majestic palace that may collapse at any time.
Of course, it is said to be "magnificent" because the scale of this "palace" is really too big.
But if we take it more seriously...
The so-called thousands of pillars are just like the "eight"-shaped passage. They are pillars of mud and stone split by the beholder with the "dissociation ray". Not to mention the artistry, they are just basic solidity. There is no guarantee at all.
Similarly, the so-called palace is also generally rough. It is more like a mountain depression or even a garbage dump than a palace.
Under this "palace", there is sewage everywhere, not to mention the stench, and there are also monsters such as lizard men roaming around.
And in the "Forest of Ten Thousand Pillars", there is another figure of the beholder floating in it.
From time to time, I was alarmed by these beholders, and above the "Forest of Ten Thousand Pillars" and on the "top of the main hall", there would be black shadows that looked like magic bats.
Seeing this, Isaac and the others knew roughly how to activate this rough but magnificent trap.
"Although it cannot be compared with the 'Hall of Thousand Pillars' in Hellaster in terms of stability."
"It is also the special soil environment of Waterdeep City that is changed by high magic and will never collapse no matter how many layers are dug."
"However, with the support of these thousands of pillars, ordinary troops passing above will not cause collapse."
Such as phaerinns and beholders, these are all strange monsters entrenched in the Underdark. It is basically impossible for them to be artistic. However, it is possible to change the terrain of the Underdark without causing collapse. It is difficult for their intelligence.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, this "Ten Thousand Pillars Palace" still has a certain degree of stability.
To make it cause a big collapse like that of the "Star Meadow Tower"...
"Unless it is a behemoth like a troll, it will produce excessive pressure and vibration in a small space."
"Or maybe there are beholders or other monsters destroying the pillar forest down here."
Of course, if the two are carried out at the same time, then the probability will naturally be greater.
It was him who was pondering and thinking.
By her side, combined with the topographic map of the city's sewers, Aililin already had an accurate judgment on the approximate location of this trap.
"This place should be under the magic training ground. However, its scale is not limited to the magic training ground. I'm afraid it will extend to several school branches."
"Uncle Lei, is it necessary for us to go ahead and find out its approximate marginal range?"
Arilyn first answered Danilo, then looked at Uncle Lei.
"That's no longer necessary."
"Now that we have confirmed the existence of this trap, it's time for us to gather together and pull it out!"
Although he was confident enough to be able to protect the lives of the team members from the collapse, Isaac did not think about blocking a wave of collapse underground if necessary.
Let’s go see Laila first, and then we’ll see how they are prepared to deal with it!
He said this, and everyone, even Aililin, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If you really continue to move forward, it may collapse at any time, and if a battle breaks out in a garbage dump-like environment, this is Arilyn, and she will instinctively frown.
"Okay, let's get out of here first!"
Aililin nodded, and then led the team back to the original route.
At this time, she was no longer in a hurry to conduct in-depth reconnaissance of the "Hasar Barrier" and "Fortress of Elements". Solving these deep pits and traps as soon as possible was the most important thing at the moment.
On the way back, they didn't encounter any monsters again. Soon, the team returned to the faculty community.
He also sent a "real name message" to the other side of Laila to convey the news of the rendezvous.
A stream of black flames flew into the sky at the gate of the martial arts academy.
See this.
"let's go!"
After observing the situation of nearby monsters for a while, they stopped changing and becoming invisible, and just moved away from where the main force of the monster army was. Everyone quickly converged towards the gate of the academy.
It is inevitable to encounter some monster armies on the way.
However, there are too many spell-like abilities that Slaad White Chan can use at will.
It's "Fireball Technique" again, and it's "Death Array" again. From time to time, some trees of death and huge rocks are also activated.
Along the way, the ordinary monster army could not stop them at all.
In just a moment, the destination was reached.
I saw that it had been destroyed once, or even multiple times, in front of the academy gate that had been destroyed again by the troll statue before.
Laila-Silver Hand, who wore the robe of the Archmage and the Staff of the Archmage, was standing side by side with the "Iron Arm General" Shaparo, followed by some elf officers, waiting for them.
When the two parties met together, it was inevitable that Lai La would introduce each other to each other.
Of course, in her introduction, she still did not mention Isaac's identity, only referring to him as "an old friend, Mr. Lei", which meant that Han Hu had lost his identity.
And wait for a short greeting from both sides.
"How is the situation under the Magic Academy?"
She quickly looked towards Arilyn and Danilo.
Danilo looked solemn and then reported: "The situation is not good. Those monsters probably hollowed out half of the college, leaving only some pillars of mud and stone to support them. If the army really kills them, even if the trolls don't look like As long as the beholder below makes a slight move, it will still be difficult not to fall into it.
According to Eileen's estimation, this trap starts from the magic training ground in the west, and extends in three directions: north, south, south, and more likely to directly extend to those school branches. With such a scale, as long as the army enters the magic school, it will just go around. If you walk directly into this trap, when the collapse starts, it will be difficult, even impossible, not to be affected by it..."
This estimate can be completely confirmed by comparing the collapse momentum at the Star Meadow Tower.
Even if the collapse of the Magic Academy causes the Martial Arts Academy to collapse, or conversely, if the Martial Arts Academy starts and then causes the Magic Academy to collapse as well, the momentum may even be greater than that of the Star Meadow Tower. , even more sensational.
"The Phaelim Demon Kui doesn't care about the life or death of those monsters at all. Even beholders and illithids are victims they can throw away at will!"
"In this case, regardless of whether the collapse of these traps is caused in advance, it is probably unrealistic to use the army to besiege those branch strongholds."
General Shaparro shook his head slowly with his eyes locked deeply.
By this time, he had ordered all troops to retreat.
Including the troll statue, they all retreated to the periphery of the martial arts academy.
The reason why we haven't completely withdrawn here yet is because there are still teams under the ground that haven't all withdrawn yet, so we need to leave some restraints to avoid creating a retreat for the monsters.
Judging from the intelligence that has been detected so far, there is also a trap under the martial arts academy.
Even if such a trap is triggered in advance, the drastic changes in the terrain will inevitably affect the army's actions.
In this way...
General Shaparo looked towards Ms. Laila.
If the army is not suitable for large-scale operations, then the only way to do this is with the ladies.
