Standing in the center of the magic circle, Lu Yu and Sera saw the situation outside the barrier of the Dawn Territory.
Streams of light fell like raindrops all over the sky. In a few breaths, the magic barrier was shattered without any accident. The magic veins coming from all directions had no time to repair, and a stronger wave of baptism came again.
Not only Lu Yu, but Sera also witnessed the attack of the Kraken group for the first time. The solemn chants gathered into a torrent, activating the magic power to complete the bombing. Everything was completed within a few seconds. It is no wonder that Huo Gudu said that the Kraken is a troublesome race.
In the long history of Mera, the role of the Kraken with its back to the sea has never been important. The invasion of the Dawn Territory may be recognized by the historians of Mera as "the first time a player who has always stood on the sidelines competes."
From this perspective, the Dawn Territory has left a memorable mark in the history of Mela. The rest will depend on the final outcome of this offensive and defensive battle.
Sera pressed her hand on the page, the magic circle trembled slightly, the colors changed, and the dangerous red light flickered.
The barrier in the Kraken bombing area shattered, and Lu Yu immediately turned to look at her.
"Originally we planned to lure them into the Dawn Territory. We are very sincere in resisting for so long."
Lu Yu became Sera's assistant because of the formal use of the magic circle for the first time. He looked at the projection of the Dawn Leader in the void and asked: "There are four relay towers in that area. How to deal with them?"
"The magic circle self-destructs and enters silent mode."
"But these sentry towers can still fight back."
After saying this, Lu Yu regretted it. There was only disgust in Sera's eyes. She stroked her hair and reminded her with a twitching mouth: "These sentry towers are nothing in front of the hordes of sea monsters. I have suffered a big loss here. After that, The sentry tower will not have the best effect."
The sea monsters outside the barrier did not rush in. The advance team of dozens of sea monsters advanced cautiously, guarding everything around them. A large number of magic messengers were spread in the air, obviously blocking the messengers sent by the Dawn Leader.
Looking down at the group of sea monsters that had penetrated into the realm of dawn, Lu Yu felt as if he was watching a group of rats that had just emerged from a dark and humid place. The information blockade they thought was foolproof was actually in vain - a Completely blending in with its surroundings, the butterfly avoids several messengers and has a clear view of their every move.
"The magic messenger deployed, the agile advance team conducted terrain exploration, completed the initial assembly in the Dawn Territory, and then divided the troops." Before the Kraken army was launched, Sera completed the prediction of their actions.
"You know the Kraken very well. Didn't you say you didn't have much dealings with them before?" Lu Yu was curious, "Where did you get the information?"
"I really don't know, but I have seen other similar 'advanced races' using similar tactics." Sierra explained, "You should know what advanced races mean, right?"
"Dragons, sea monsters, elves and other intelligent races who are naturally prone to magic, because there are basically no individuals who can't use magic." Lu Yu curled his lips, "Don't ask such a stupid question. On the way home, Lulu got on I listened to and memorized the basic courses well."
Sierra nodded approvingly, as if to say, "You listened carefully to the lecture, it's great."
"Compared to dragons, elves, demi-humans and other races, sirens are very special. They have a very obvious shortcoming..."
…
…
In the bushes, Zi Xing and a group of combat team members were hiding. Not far away was a sentry tower where Serra had closed the magic circle.
This fighting team is all female. As former black nuns, they gradually adapted to their new identities after coming to Dawn Territory. The nuns' uniforms were also tidied up and put in the closet, rarely worn again.
But tonight, they brought out the clothes again, but they were indeed new styles ordered by Sigrid from the tailors in the territory. The clothes were no longer embroidered with silver threads and silver maple leaves, but with a new-born big star. day.
“It’s like going back in time,” someone said frankly.
"The atmosphere is in place, isn't it?" A nun said, "We used to protect the light of the Theocracy, but now we protect the light in our hearts, no matter what."
"I hope you all remember to cut your clothes shorter. The Theocracy's tailors remembered that we have combat needs... We are obviously doing it ourselves, so why did we forget to provide some margin? It's inconvenient to fight tightly."
"Is it possible that the food at home is too good and I'm getting fat..."
It was supposed to be a serious occasion, but these words made the leader Zixing a little nervous when they were chatting. However, her face quickly changed and she reminded in a low voice: "There are traces of messengers. The final operation of the sentry tower is to transmit the magic circle." Here comes the wave.”
Six magic messengers with different appearances were patrolling around. Just when one of them was about to fly down to inspect the bushes, a rustling sound in the distance made all the messengers turn.
It was like some rough object rubbing on the ground, and some overlapping sounds spread far away in the silent night.
Until all the messengers were gone, a nun said: "What on earth do you intend to do to deal with the sea monster, Lord? Our mission is to take advantage of the chaos to intercept and kill the injured intruder."
"I remember correctly. The cylindrical building built mysteriously by the civil engineering team opened its doors today?"
…
…
Upon receiving the news sent back by the pioneer messenger, Uge of the Zhuoshui tribe was puzzled. He repeatedly confirmed with the pioneer messenger.
"Why did the Kraken fall behind and get lost so quickly?" Uge murmured to himself.
Zhuoshui is not a big family. In this battle to seize the shore territory, they have always been in a wait-and-see state. They are neither willing to take risks to try their luck on other coastlines where there may be opportunities, nor are they willing to fight against the red rapids and the dark green sea monster. The big clans such as Silent Reef and Silent Reef clashed.
Attacking the Dawn Territory gave hope to many tribes like Zhuoshui.
"If you can't deal with the powerful fellows, how can you not deal with a small human city-state?" Many fellows participated with this idea in mind.
Uge only officially became a sixth-order sea monster after the magic wave. Although he was not very powerful, he was already one of the priests in the tribe. Unlike other fanatical sea monsters, he was always cautious after entering the Dawn Territory.
"The opponent took the initiative to defeat the city-states of the two tribes. Even if the Kraken will eventually win, if you accidentally encounter the opponent's main force struggling to death, wouldn't it be a dead end?" With this mentality, Uge explored The speed is extremely slow.
"Master Priest, we are always lagging behind the other advance teams. If we are dragging our feet like this, it is normal for other teams to pick up the enemy."
Although it was not stated explicitly, several large clans led by Silent Reef encouraged the complete massacre of everyone in the Dawn Territory.
Either don’t do it or never do it.
Since there is a need to kill, the head becomes a symbol of military exploits, and having enough heads will give you more confidence when dividing the spoils.
Behind him are the tribesmen who have not yet come ashore, waiting for the tribal warriors to seize the land for them. The much-anticipated Uge has been criticized by his fellow sirens along the way. Previously, due to the identity of the priest, it was difficult to explain clearly, but now the rumors began to appear. Casualties, the atmosphere in the team suddenly changed.
"Master Priest, through the injured Siren, we can know a lot of information about the other party. The messenger informed all the surrounding teams. How can we go back and face the clansmen if we continue to be so slow and get nothing?"
The soul torture of his companions made Uge shaken. His tail swung on the ground twice in irritation. Finally, he chose to turn and go to the place mentioned by the messenger.
Along the way, Uge saw blood that had not yet dried. He cautiously dipped his finger in it and licked it gently.
"The blood of the siren has a stronger smell of human beings..."
This discovery eliminated most of Uge's inner vigilance. It seemed that the advance siren had indeed achieved some results. Overall, the damage to the Dawn Leader was greater.
"Use the protection of the wind collectively, no longer hide, speed up and move forward!"
Following the trace of the magical aura that still remained, Uge came to a pit filled with pits. For some reason, there was no water in the middle of the pit. The bottom of the pit looked like it had been trampled by countless giant beasts, and there seemed to be a pair of big hands. After repeated beatings, it was so devastated that it was hard to imagine what had happened here before.
"Master Priest, look!"
In the pit, three sea monsters were half-covered by sand and rocks, bleeding profusely. Two scarred human corpses were scattered around them.
"The spoils of war!"
The eyes of the sea monsters in the turbid water were bright, and even Uge was a little surprised. He now actually expected that the three sea monsters were dead, so that his military achievements would be in vain!
However, this excitement ended when he saw a sea monster trembling and constantly uttering vague murmurs. Uge stopped his fellow tribesmen who had already had evil thoughts and shook his head at them vigorously.
"We are sea monsters, not shameless aliens. Since we are attacking together, they are our allies. Save them!"
Seeing that the priest gave the death order, the few sea monsters that were ready to move could only sigh unwillingly and took the initiative to check their injuries.
"What tribe are you from and how do you feel?"
Really worried about this group of tribesmen who were dazzled by profits, Uge took the initiative to step forward, with blue waves surging in his palms, intending to inject pure water elements into the body of the injured sea monster.
"Ahh..."
"What did you say?" Uge's hand was already pressed on the bloodied arm of the sea monster, but his body was shaking as if he was being electrocuted.
Almost as a subconscious reaction, he shook off the arms wrapped around him and retreated!
Why is the blood flowing out of this sea monster's body human blood?
"Roar!!"
The impact of magic power that was close at hand tore apart a tribesman accompanying Uge's treatment. The surging magic power was like an arrow, and its trend continued unabated. It completely dissipated after penetrating another sea monster from the Zhushui Department.
Seeing the instant death of his tribesmen, Uge's eyes were splitting, and he shouted angrily: "The enemy is attacking!"
Three sea monsters and two humanoid corpses stood up unsteadily. Their eyes were dark and their movements were stiff and lifeless.
The spirit chanted, and the magic power intensively bombarded the five strange humanoid figures.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, Uge subconsciously took two steps back: "No injury...why...wait, this is a puppet, a puppet with a special structure, don't use magic!"
Uge still said it was too slow, the Siren puppet's tail swung powerfully, its speed suddenly increased, and it rushed towards Yanling.
The magic sputtered on the ground, causing their actions to stagnate for a while. The direct magic seemed to hit a thick barrier, being weakened layer by layer, and finally dissipated completely.
"This is a demon-breaking doll. For the sake of the God of Black Light, stop using fucking magic and keep your distance!"
Uge used wind magic to push his companions, but the Siren puppet did not give him this time. The tail used for rushing hit the Siren who was obsessed with the spirit of speech, and the strong force shattered their bodies. The scales shattered the organs in their bodies.
Two ordinary-looking humanoids held light whips with lightning properties. They raised and lowered the whips, blowing the scales of several sea monsters to pieces.
Uge was horrified in his heart. This was a planned attack. The power of the Word Spirit needed to be amplified and guided by the Siren Scales. Once destroyed, their Word Spirit power would no longer be complete!
The puppets are always clumsy and unable to complete more operations, so there must be someone else who killed the advance team!
"Retreat, retreat!"
Uge, who relied on bombing the ground to stop the puppet tribe's last-ditch attack, shouted urgently, but the more than 20 people he brought with him were already in chaos, and he could only help up the nearest companion to him.
Before he could discern the direction, Uge saw figures coming out of the shadows one after another.
The black and white nuns' uniforms rustled in the night wind, and different shapes of light flowed from the hands of these priests who were supposed to serve the gods.
Uge recognized this magic. It was the special light magic of the Theocracy [True Meaning of Radiance].
Purple Star whistled: "I really appreciate your judgment along the way, and I also recognize that you are an excellent siren. If we meet on other occasions, I can't help but treat you to a glass of cold ale... Very It’s a pity that you stepped into the Dawn Territory tonight, this is our home, and intruders are not welcome.”
"Despicable human beings!" Uge gritted his teeth, "Despicable human beings!!"
"Despicable?" Zixing laughed, and the nuns in black behind him did the same, mercilessly mocking the sea monsters in front of them.
"You have set foot on land that you should not have set foot on and desecrated our homeland, but you expect us to treat you with courtesy... The sea is so forgiving that the sirens have forgotten that you have never had a big problem in thousands of years. We have never participated in a large-scale war, and we have never participated in brutal fighting. The casualties caused by the friction between the tribes are like children's play compared with the bloody history of this land."
"Survival is never a simple matter. There is no reason to explain, there is no right or wrong, good or evil, despicable or upright."
Through Zi Xing's mouth, Lu Yu said: "It has always been a matter of life and death... When you eliminate that kind-hearted ethnic group, you should think that things will get worse."
"Siren, welcome ashore." Zixing added the last sentence he thought of to this conversation, "This is a must for terrestrial species."
If one person moves, all the members move, the nuns in black who have had a sympathies with each other since the Theocracy turned into black shadows and rushed into the Kraken squad. Weapons dripping with divine brilliance were waved continuously, and the blood dyed the earth red.
