Following Fang Plover's gesture, there were a few slight "click" sounds, and the small copper-shell balls hanging under the alchemist's coat detached themselves and fell downwards. But before falling to the ground, a command was passing through the resonance crystal, activating the main crystal inside the small ball. Magic power surged out from it, driving the hinge - the copper shell was seen rotating and opening, and thin wings like fairy wings stretched out from below. The wings flapped like a hummingbird, causing the copper ball to draw a downward arc and fly into the air again.
The golden balls stretched out from behind Fang Plover one by one and were slowly rising up to the sky. They formed a large equidistant net between each other, reflecting the firelight and twinkling like stars in the sky.
The re-improved Efreet is only one-third of its original size. The flying device has been greatly simplified. Almost all parts that can use disposable parts have been replaced with the cheapest materials; almost all the heat dissipation and stabilization systems have been cut. , the hinge mechanism has also been reduced to only the necessary number, the visual crystal no longer exists, the balancing device is even more terrible, the four pairs of wings have been reduced to two pairs, and the flight ability has been lost by more than two-thirds.
It can only fly continuously for about half a minute, but it is more than enough: apart from the explosive crystal that fills most of the space and the device that automatically injects magic power, its internal mechanism only has a closed loop component. The overall weight has been reduced by more than half. Even with the reduced flying ability, the speed has become faster, especially the straight-line speed.
At the same time, the previous Fire Djinn required Fang Plover to manually inject magic power before it could be activated. But now Fang Yu has specially designed a device for automatically injecting magic power into it. As long as he activates the main crystal inside the efreet, it is equivalent to automatically injecting magic power into the explosive crystal at the same time - although it only lasts for three seconds, fifteen seconds and There are three gears in thirty seconds, but this greatly simplifies his operation.
This means that Efreets have less activation lag, and more Efreets can be activated at the same time.
More importantly, under such changes, the cost of the efreet is less than one-fifth of the original cost——
For Fang Yu, the only factor limiting his use of efreets is the total storage space of his information crystal. Of course, there may be another hidden factor: this attack method is too unique and can easily reveal one of his identities.
That identity is not just a hero of Van Rikke...
He looked at the 'beasts' that were charging at him with their claws and fangs bared and their scimitars in hand.
The golden ball screamed and flew into the crowd.
The sand pirates subconsciously dodge, but how can they dodge in time?
In Fang Plover's gaze, a narrow ray of light bloomed from under those golden copper shells, like a rising star. The next moment, a flame engulfed it——
Then it turned into a deafening roar.
…
A series of flashes of light on the battlefield caught everyone's eyes.
The explosion occurred at a very close distance, forming a wave on the ground that swept across. The last remaining building in the direction of the tower also collapsed with a whimper, making a crack. Mud and pebbles fell to the ground, like a shower.
Her Royal Highness the Princess stopped, and Aleph also stopped, and they all looked in that direction. The knights, on the other hand, seemed to be a little numb to the changes on the battlefield - since the earth-shattering explosion before, there was nothing. Can't get their attention anymore.
Rupert lowered his head slightly, feeling vaguely that he should have seen such a scene somewhere, and not far away from her, the Crown Prince had the same question in his heart. The few princes and nobles on the battlefield also had similar doubts on their faces.
Have they seen such a scene somewhere?
There was only one person whose eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly when he saw that flash of light - the continuous light was reflected in the depths of the pupils of the former president of the Southern League, like a strip of light from front to back. He picked up his communication crystal, recorded this scene, and smiled softly:
"Oh it's you."
Noisy sounds came from the communication crystal, and a somewhat panicked voice asked: "President, did you see it?"
"Um?"
"That obelisk, that obelisk sinking into the ground..."
A trace of solemnity appeared on Ye Hua's face, and he whispered: "Shut up——"
Then the next sentence is an order. "Tell your people to stay there, help rescue people, and move the residents in the city to safer places. Don't come to the palace, spread out, and don't let anyone recognize your identity."
The voice smiled bitterly and said: "We have been doing this for a long time, but we have lost a lot of manpower, but over at the palace..."
"This has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, President."
Ye Hua held the crystal in his hand and glanced at the corpse in front of him, which was emitting little white light.
He turned around and looked at Tian Lan, who was standing a little dull in front of him, and looked at the disproportionately large sword that was clenched in his hands, pointing in this direction with a slight trembling, and couldn't help but smile. "It's okay, you can relax a little, brave girl."
Tian Lan looked at the other party and asked with a trembling voice. "President Ye Hua?"
Ye Hua was slightly startled: "Do you know me?"
Tianlan nodded quickly, wiped her colorful face with the back of her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Well..."
Then she added: "The leader has a lot of your posters, or something... limited edition, autographed edition..." She nodded her head and immediately sold someone.
Ye Hua laughed dumbly, and then he understood the identity of the other party. Unexpectedly, the little girl he rescued turned out to be a member of the Seven Seas Brigade. But he secretly admired the team that the little guy built, which was exactly like him, fearless.
This battle has nothing to do with them. How much courage does it take to stand up against an enemy hundreds of times larger than yourself?
"Are you from the Seven Seas Brigade, Miss Brave Poet?" Ye Hua saw the model of the magic furnace behind him at a glance - the level was a bit low, but there was no lack of courage. This was probably his first comment.
Tianlan nodded slightly, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "It's not brave at all. Compared to everyone else, I can't help you at all... I usually sneak away after I get to the leveling station. When things come to an end, it's too late to regret..."
"You are not the selector of our division, are you?"
Tian Lan raised her head and looked at the other party. It was not surprising to see this - she did not choose a non-human race like Parker, and she basically maintained the appearance of the earth. But she didn't quite understand what the other party meant by asking this question at this time. This one of the Ten Kings didn't seem like a person who liked to talk nonsense.
In other words, no one who can become the Ten Kings will waste time easily.
Ye Hua smiled: "Actually, I know someone who is similar to you."
"About the same people?"
"A poet has almost the same temperament as you. Maybe you can learn something from that person."
Tian Lan was slightly startled: "Is it true?"
Ye Hua nodded.
"Her name is Shiduo."
…
Mahazar was looking in that direction. Under his deeply furrowed brow, his eyes seemed to be questioning everyone: "What happened over there?"
But no one could answer his question.
The King of Sand Pirates thought of the sailboat that was on fire before, and could probably guess that the opponent had reinforcements coming behind them, but the number should not be too many, which made him feel a little relieved. He turned around and waved his whip forward: "Don't worry about that, keep moving forward——"
The sand pirates let out a strange cry. Victory is already close at hand, whether it is Her Royal Highness the Princess or the countless wealth under the Kashan Palace. When a huge temptation is right in front of you, ordinary people will become red-eyed, not to mention that these themselves represent greedy thieves.
The sand bandits gathered on both sides of the battlefield were even out of order, like an overflowing tide. If there was a fresh force belonging to Her Royal Highness on the battlefield at this moment, they would definitely give these disorganized rabble a heavy blow, but unfortunately, at this time, the decline of one side was already obvious, making it difficult to seize this rare opportunity.
Under the absolute advantage of numbers, the chaos of the sand bandits formed an overwhelming momentum. Looking around from the battlefield, except for the gap caused by the previous big explosion, there were vast areas in almost all directions. Many bandits are coming in overwhelming numbers.
The only emotion echoing in everyone's hearts at this moment is despair——
The palace guards, the knights of Andromeda and Malan have not collapsed yet, purely because the two royal family members, the princess and Aleph, are still on the battlefield, fighting side by side with them. Even if it was Rupert herself, her heart was gradually sinking at the moment. She couldn't see any hope, so maybe she could only make a last-ditch effort...
Fortunately, my sister is not in the city.
She sighed and gently put down the sword in her hand.
The light of the explosion in the distance had faded, and the entire battlefield was covered in a layer of dust. The previous scene reminded her of something, but those things seemed to be of no use here. The only thing that left an impression in her mind was probably the appearance of the other person - the young man named Ed. She shook her head slightly.
"Withdraw to Kashan Palace."
The guards were slightly startled. "But there is no danger to defend the Kashan Palace, Your Highness Princess."
"At least it can be delayed for some time, so that the Sand Bandits' attention can be focused here, so that more people can escape from the city."
She raised her head and glanced at the sky. Under the gaze of the dark red light, for a moment, it seemed that her thoughts suddenly returned to clarity——
"Let them come."
she said softly.
"The Sand Bandits may not be able to leave this city. They are just pawns of the blind followers."
But, what will happen next?
You have saved everything and saved everyone on the island, but can you still save this city and Questac...Mr. Ed, or rather, Fenris's...savior?
The eldest princess held the sword in her hand tightly.
The dark red light seemed to have stretched out countless tentacles from above the clouds.
…
The smoke has not cleared yet, and the surrounding area is shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
Fang Yu coughed heavily. After all this time, he still hadn't gotten used to the choking smell, especially in a dusty place like Questac. After an explosion, the dust raised was almost overwhelming. The dust floating in the air is mixed with the breath of fire element ether, and after inhaling into the lungs, there is a faint burning sensation.
He could only hold his breath and look around.
The thick fog obscured the light of the stars and the moon, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness. In the darkness, there was no trace of the sand pirates, but painful moans could occasionally be heard.
More than twenty efreets were released before, and the explosion was enough to cover almost two football fields, but it was just light, shadow and shock waves, and the actual damage range was much smaller. Most of the sand bandits staggering around and moaning were actually only injured, and not many were actually killed.
It is almost impossible for a shock wave to have any effect above level 15. It mainly relies on the fire damage in the core area to cause damage, but that range is very worrying. Although the levels of the sand pirates vary, on average they are at least equivalent to Box and Parker two or three months ago, and they are basically all above level 16.
He sighed, but he could only accept the result. He just felt vaguely in his heart that since Van Rick, his level had improved, and the enemies he faced were more powerful than before. The methods he was proud of in the past seemed to be no longer the same. Starting to feel a little stretched.
Whether it's the Archangel or the Fire Djinn, it seems that some of them are out of step with the times. In particular, the efreets were updated once in Tansnir, becoming smaller and denser, and more numbers can be used to increase their power when used, but even so, they still feel somewhat inadequate at the moment.
As for the Archangel, it has almost been reduced to the status of a functional construct. You must know that not long ago, this was his main output construct. He didn't know whether he lamented that he was leveling up too quickly or that his ability to get into trouble was too strong. The enemy's level had improved far faster than the Seven Seas Brigade's growth rate.
But this thought only flashed through his mind.
After all, on this battlefield right now, he has no way to improve the strength of his constructs. It's just a pity that he found those constructs in the Tansnir Smuggling Port. If he could keep them, they would greatly improve his strength. combat effectiveness. The strength of a combat craftsman is closely related to the structure he possesses.
This is why, even if it is not a big guild, it is rare to be able to support top combat craftsmen.
The sand bandits were blown to pieces by the previous explosion. Even if they were not killed, they lost some of their courage. They barely gathered together in the smoke and dust, but they couldn't figure out the situation for a while. Fang Plover only walked quickly through the passage created by the previous explosion. After passing through the smoke and dust, he looked back.
As expected, no one chased them out of the smoke, but outside the gap created by the explosion, a group of lizard cavalry on each side rushed towards this direction.
He didn't plan to use the efreet anymore. After all, the number of these things was limited. He just looked up and looked ahead. The city wall towered in front of him. He lightly pressed the information crystal to summon the Kraken construct, and then raised his hands in one move. Numerous magic circles appeared on the ground, and the soil was lifted step by step under the shape of countless light spots. In an instant, a step of more than ten meters long was formed.
Fang Plover was almost exhausted from exhaustion, but he immediately put away the Kraken structure, walked forward, climbed up the stairs, and walked onto the inner city wall.
The lizard cavalry of the sand bandits behind came to the steps and hesitated for a moment, seeming to want to follow suit. But they turned over and dismounted, and before they could even take a step forward, the steps made of soil, like gravel in the wind, disintegrated one after another, turned into dust again, and fell back to the ground.
Those sand pirates who walked up the steps fell down one after another.
Fang Yu walked up to the top of the city, looked back at these people, and couldn't help but shake his head. And he turned back and looked up into the distance. In his eyes, he immediately reflected the figure of Mahazar, the king of sand bandits in that direction, and a group of elite sand bandits around him.
The other party was crossing the ruins of the tower and surrounding them in the direction of Kashan Palace.
It was at this time that the second sound of the dragon horn trombone sounded on the battlefield.
The low, whining sound seemed to make everyone on the battlefield shudder.
But Fang Yu only watched this scene silently until the communication crystal in his hand lit up, and then a hoarse voice came from the team channel: "Brother Ed, are you there?"
"Sky blue?"
"President Ye Hua is with me. He has something to tell you."
Next, Ye Hua's voice came from over there: "Ed, have you seen Mahazar?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled, then nodded immediately and said, "I saw it."
"If you can find a way to create an opportunity, I can kill him." Ye Hua said calmly.
A gleam of surprise flashed in Fang Yu's eyes. He looked in that direction and asked almost immediately: "What should I do?"
"Find a way to lure him away from the army of sand pirates——"
"The King of Sand Thieves, Mahazar, is about level 40. As long as I seize the opportunity, I can kill him easily. But there are too many people around him. I am a ranger. After all, I am not a warrior like Odin. Even if I use arrows , and you have to get close to a certain range, about one or two miles—"
"As long as you can find a way to lure him away from the large army, I will find an opportunity to kill him."
Fang Yu was silent for a moment, knowing that the opponent's dragon knight structure might not be with him, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble. But when he looked in that direction, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he nodded and said, "I can try."
"Be careful," Ye Hua immediately reminded: "Mahazar himself is as high as level 40 compared to you, and the levels of the elite sand pirates around him are not too bad. I will remind you in time later, What skills of the other party should be guarded against? Keep the team channel open——"
"Brother Ed, be careful." Tian Lan also said immediately.
"I see."
Fang Plover nodded again.
