North of Wuguan City, on the Far North Plateau.
Vermeer came out of the portal and couldn't help but shudder.
It's so cold...
The members who arrived earlier than them have already begun to line up. Strictly speaking, this is not the northern part of the continent, but because the average altitude is very high and the ground veins are unstable, there is always snow on the plateau all year round.
At this moment, the coldness became even stronger.
Far ahead, in the open area further north, a blizzard covered the sky and the sun. Even here you can feel the whistling cold current and wind. It is hard to imagine that it is already July.
"I didn't expect it to be so far away..."
Vermeer held on to the winter hat that she had specially put on to keep out the cold, and she even spoke with a white air.
This place completely exceeded the scope surrounding Wuguan City. Originally, the Broken Ridge Plateau to Lan Temple was already the limit of the northern boundary. I didn't expect that the craftsmen would bury the weapons further than that.
Should I say it was a helpless move? At least from here, it is not that easy to reach Crownless City.
"Let's start," Luo Wei looked away from Feng Xue, "Follow the legion."
Long-distance teleportation cannot carry too many people and supplies. To fight across such a long distance, the alliance only dispatches elites.
Felica and Chrissie also joined this battle, considering that if they couldn't stop the magic weapon here, they should at least get practical and useful information.
“Lu Yi doesn’t like it here, it’s so cold>.<”
The crooked demon was hanging on the snow and complaining. When his little shoes were stretched out on the snow, he was agitated.
She was still wearing a flimsy circus costume.
Vermeer walked towards her, took off her scarf, and wrapped it in several layers for her.
"Is this better? It's wrapped up."
"Well, wow... Lu wants to go to the beach to play..."
Vermeer was shaken by her hug, and she followed her back helplessly.
Ah ha ha……
After all, now is not the time to go to the beach.
"You guys are really leisurely." Felica said from the side, "I almost thought we were out for a hike."
Compared to others, she was covered in thick fur, and her face was almost covered by an old-fashioned hood.
Logically speaking, dwarves should not be afraid of the cold.
Half-dwarves should also be...?
Seeing several people looking at her, Felica rummaged through her bag and stopped.
"What's wrong?" She looked down at the ill-fitting winter coat, raised it and said, "The materials distributed by the legion are not suitable for half-dwarves at all. When someone imprisoned me, they didn't leave me a single piece of clothing. Do you want to see me shivering from the cold?"
Shaye and Ayi Ning looked at her without saying anything, while Eluse behind them just smiled.
In this operation, except Athetana who was supporting from the rear, everyone else was present.
"Okay, let's talk about it later if we complain."
Luo Wei shook his head and glanced at Ayi Ning, but the latter dodged in a panic.
"..."
"..."
Well……
Wei Mier hugged Lu Yi and looked at them. She always felt that after talking to Randall, he looked at A Yi Ning with pity.
Woohoo...
Don't I deserve pity?
The group of people walked on the snow, Felica assembled the magic devices carried in batches, and Shaye supported her from behind.
"Domi, come here and put this place together," Felica shouted without raising her head, "Domi...?"
After calling twice in succession, Duo Mi hurriedly came over from Ke Luo Qian, arranging her messy hair awkwardly with her hands.
"I-I'm here, Lady Felica."
As a skilled machine girl, the little cotton-padded jacket she wore undoubtedly fit much better than her master, it was almost tailor-made.
There are also cute little yellow flowers printed on it.
Felica: "..."
The arms transformed into corresponding tools, and with the help of the machine girl, the assembly of the device was quickly completed.
"Um...Lady Felica, Kexi's side...I..."
"Go ahead."
After watching Duo Mi leave, Felica turned around and glanced at Luo Wei with suspicion.
Luo Wei was paying attention to the position of Ryan and others in front of him. He noticed the sight and helplessly spread his hands towards her.
But she saw the magical response of the device she had just connected light up.
"...!"
Felica also saw it. She was stunned for a moment, and then called out to everyone.
"coming soon!"
As the reaction of the magic power reached its maximum, the roaring wind and snow in the distance began to vibrate, the snow and dust covering the sun stopped for a moment and then began to reverse, and the ground suddenly sank.
Boom——! !
The snow curtain that hit us swept in like a storm, instantly submerging the legions on the plain, leaving everything as far as the eye could see was covered in white.
Vermeer raised the staff to set up a barrier, which prevented the few people from being enveloped by the wind and snow, but the snow and dust outside were billowing, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
After a slightly long wait——
"ah!"
The ground sank heavily again, and with the roaring vibrations, the ground beneath their feet cracked, pushing several people to different directions on both sides.
Wei Mier knelt down while holding Lu Yi, but did not stop maintaining her magic power. The violent vibration lasted for more than ten seconds.
During this period, Felica kept watching the reaction of the magic device.
"Sure enough... it is absorbing the power of the earth's veins," Felica murmured. "It seems that the craftsmen will give priority to completing this part."
As the snowstorm gradually subsided, Luo Wei kept staring ahead. He couldn't see his face clearly in the distance, but a huge black shadow like a mountain range took a step forward with pressure.
There is no doubt that the magic weapon just took a step forward.
After dissipating the maintenance of magic power, he looked behind him. The cracks in the ground spread all the way to the south, which was more exaggerated than imagined.
"Have we really hindered this thing?" Shaye frowned.
Luo Wei didn't bother to hit her.
She was beaten so hard by a second-level god that she couldn't even get up. The Goddess of Mechanics was created according to the first-level god. Combined with the power of magic weapons, this expressiveness can be said to be weak.
Several people jumped over from the other side of the crack, and the legion in front had almost recovered from the impact of the shock.
But not everyone is so cautious.
Far ahead than Ryan's position, a broad figure moved forward against the other teams of the legion, not stopping even if the ground cracked.
Marcus.
Without any orders to command him, this third-level god walked alone towards the huge mountains covered by the blizzard.
Then, he raised his hand and pulled out a giant black-red ax sword from the ground.
That thing was more exaggerated than a giant sword. It looked like a door panel, but it was as long as a spear. Marcus raised it with one hand and placed it behind his back.
"This is……"
Ryan and Dundry, who caught up, were stunned for a moment and stopped not far from each other.
This weapon has a faint chilling aura, which makes people feel ominous.
Marcus was not used during the war.
"Could this guy have something hidden?" Joey paused.
Ryan: "..."
He didn't know what the other party was planning, and he didn't intend to let it go, nor did he think it was a good idea to get close to the other party at this moment.
Ryan has complicated feelings for Marcus.
First an enemy, then an ally, another enemy, and now an ally again. He believed that the other party did not cheat when dealing with them, but faced with what Marcus had done before, he could not just let it go.
As a third-level god, the legion undoubtedly needs such combat power, so what they can do is to respond.
Marcus didn't look back at them.
This man stood under the wind and snow, looking up at the still rolling blizzard, and twisted the hilt of the sword with one hand.
The blood-colored divine power soared into the sky. Marcus raised his ax and sword. Black and red slashes split his eyes, and he slashed hundreds of meters in height with one blow.
brake--
Xue stopped at that moment, then screamed and retreated to both sides, and was split into two by the third-level god with peak strength.
The frightening air waves shook all directions. Luo Wei blocked his face with his arms and watched this scene with a concentrated expression.
He did recognize the sword.
"Axe, Sword - Kill".
A treasured weapon of a third-level god, or in other words, an evil weapon.
Marcus rarely uses it. It's not that it can't improve his combat effectiveness, but once this sword sees too much blood, he himself will transform into his legendary form.
In the battle against Crownless City, if this guy had used this sword, he would probably fight until his entire army was wiped out and still not withdraw.
It can only be said that Marcus chose the latter among Wufu and Marshal.
It was completely fine to use it to cut down the magic creation. The shrouded wind and snow were broken with one blow, and a heavy whimpering sound could be heard from then on.
"dock----"
The magical beast, as huge as a mountain range and covered in thick armor, revealed its true form behind the scenes.
The snow dust still covered most of the figure, and it was difficult to describe what kind of beast it was imitating. But in Luo Wei's opinion, it was more of a mechanical metallic luster than the ferocity of a beast. It didn't seem to have any appearance. Do more emphasis.
But there is undoubtedly a lot more to it.
In comparison, the weapons of the Hooffire Empire were like running naked.
"Be careful! It doesn't draw the power of ley lines to move!"
Felica reminded loudly, and at this time, the magic device she built had a strong reaction again.
Continuous vibrations came from the magic weapon, and the snow curtain was completely shaken. Colorful magic beams were intensively released upwards, and after a brief stagnation, they came towards the combat teams on the ground.
Among the hundreds of magic beams, 70% of them came towards the craftsman team behind.
Vermeer raised her staff with a serious look on her face, and Elise also stood beside her in a rare moment. Together, they set up a wide defensive barrier, enough to cover half of the rear.
Rumble, rumble, rumble——
The continuous bombardment made the protective barrier shine brightly. Because the sheltered area was very large, Vermeer's magic power could fully hold it up, but her arms were numb from the shock.
After more than ten seconds, the beam of light stopped abruptly. Vermeer breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, puffing up her chest with pride.
Hey, don't underestimate me!
Just as she was thinking this, another round of vibrations came from the distance.
"Eh……?"
Seeing that the sky was once again filled with dense beams of magic power, Vermeer quickly raised her staff again.
Rumble——
Then came the third and fourth rounds.
There was a continuous bombing every ten seconds, and flowers suddenly exploded on the snowfield, with splashing snowfalls everywhere.
Even the sky was not spared.
The sky troops led by Vanessa and Moira were also bombed. They gathered together. The Dragon Queen stretched out her right hand and looked at the scene with disdain.
"Now you know why I have always been opposed to magic weapons."
"I never doubted you." Moira said using the feather spear to release the magic barrier.
With the constant blows coming now, let alone counterattack, there was no chance to breathe.
Fifth round, sixth round...
The legions are moving towards each other's closest squads, gathering strength to jointly resist.
Vermeer: X﹏X
Hands...can't feel the presence of hands anymore...
At this moment, Luo Wei patted her head from behind and raised the sword next to her staff.
"Let me do it, you can just transfer the magic power."
Vermeer raised her head and stared blankly at this scene, with a slight touch from the corner of her eye.
Well……!
Sure enough, you still pity me!
Being replaced by Luo Wei who set up a large-scale shield cutting, Vermeer sniffed and injected her magic power into him with a moved heart, carefully controlling the amount.
If he lets his element go berserk, he will definitely be beaten...
Luo Wei's whole body was glowing with blue light, but it was within the tolerance range. He looked back at her with a somewhat thoughtful look.
Vimil immediately shrank her neck obediently.
Seeing her stupid look waiting to be slapped on the head at any time, Luo Wei shook his head and sighed. On the other side, Shaye reluctantly took over from Eluse, but the witch was obviously much more capable.
After two more rounds of baptism, the movement of the magic weapon stopped.
The legion was divided into four groups, and alternating tactics were also adopted within the camp. Although many people showed reluctance, they managed to survive unscathed.
What appeared in front of everyone was an ancient magic weapon that was no longer concealed on the snowy land.
Only then did Legion see clearly that the ground below it was filled with densely packed mutants.
Ryan: "..."
Is that really the case?
Unlike the Hoof Fire Empire, craftsmen will activate magic weapons and naturally use all available resources.
The space cracks were torn open one after another, and the mutated monsters spurted out and squeezed out. After a while, the snowfield became completely black.
Ryan raised his sword.
He looked at the people behind him and said loudly: "You still remember how to defeat them, right?"
The assembled legion elites were stunned for a moment before reacting.
"Humph, that goes without saying."
"Hey, you are really brave."
"However, it is precisely because we are the crusaders!"
Everyone understands what Ryan is going to do. If we don't try our best here, how can we know whether there is any gap in strength between the two sides?
There is no doubt about dealing with mutants.
charge.
Knowing this conclusion, the elites drew their weapons one after another, not to mention that Marcus, who was alone at the front, was still standing there. How could they let him steal all the limelight.
But Luo Wei didn't move from behind.
The magic weapons once again stirred up the magic beams, bombarding them like heavy rain. The legions raised the barrier and charged forward, and 70% of them were still heading towards the craftsmen group at the rear.
"It seems that the other party really doesn't want us to analyze it."
Luo Wei coldly waved his sword at his side.
Consciously analyze tactics and judge threats, choose the location of the craftsmen to focus the attack, and perhaps even consider that Felica will become a very difficult witness.
He looked at the huge body through the beam of light that was about to fall.
Mechanical goddess.
Are you watching inside?
"..."
