Things at Gate 2 have been a bit off lately.
It’s hard to tell what kind of conspiracy it is. From the data obtained from aerial observation, it can be seen that the ecological chain has changed.
Gate 2 belongs to the Icecrown Biosphere, which includes several predators with the "Icecrown" prefix such as Icecrown Ice Devil, Icecrown Fox, and Icecrown Cryptozoon, as well as some species with lower ecological niches.
There are two types of Ice Crown Fox and Ice Crown Cryptozoon. One is small and the other is an ambush player. Neither can be counted from the air. The Ice Demon is large enough to be called an umbrella species and is a key target of the Air Force.
Recently, the Ice Crown Ice Demon seems to have entered a breeding period. The distance between the two ice demons has become very close, and the overall scope of the controlled territory has been reduced.
Strangely, it seems that no new ice demons have been added to the floating island where Gate 2 is located.
The reason why I cannot use certain words is because Gate 2 is still a little far from my home. The time for the reconnaissance aircraft to arrive is not comparable to that of Gate 1 in the Northern District. The same sortie can only collect less than half of the information in the Northern District.
In addition to the ice demon's suspected loss of growth, another demon tribe has also taken advantage of the shrinking ice demon territory to enter the watch list.
It's a pity that the demons at Gate 1 don't know its specific situation very well. They can only temporarily give it a name, Te Guima, based on the local people's knowledge.
Under normal conditions, it is a horse-shaped herbivorous species. When it senses danger, it will transform into a shadow creature, making it extremely dangerous.
Shadow creatures are very famous in the demon world. They are the third largest group after the demonic and undead types. They are known as "dream messengers" and have the ability to directly cause spiritual death. Its strongest individual is an old acquaintance, the God-killing Lord of the Shenyu Dynasty. He is called the Ghost Demon Lord in the main world. The "ghost" here is a shadow ability. It is said that it can make the entire world in a short time. City creatures die without trauma.
There is no comparison between Te Guima and the God-Slaying King, but it is still very dangerous after being transformed into a shadow, and it can use an ability to peel off shadows.
Stripping the shadow is an intuitive description, and its effect is a concept of material collapse. The individual whose shadow is stripped will enter a ghost transformation period and can be optically observed for a few days.
According to local people, after the shadow disappears, the use of healing magic can only delay the process of becoming a ghost. If you want to bring the person back, you can only use the demon sealing ceremony.
This is a kind of "irreversible magic isolation therapy". For people who have completed the demon-sealing ceremony, no magic can last on their body, and this person's body will not be able to produce any more magic for more than ten years. A little bit of magic.
It is said that the demon-sealing ritual was developed in the early days to kill high-level demons. However, since it is classified as a "ritual" type, it cannot be quickly deployed on a highly destructive battlefield. It can only exist as a trap and has little fighting significance. On the contrary, the conspirators prefer it.
However, as national military information, there are still doubts about the demon sealing ceremony.
Because this ritual is generally not used by mages, and very few can use it. The locals only know that one person has been cured by it. It is impossible to say whether it is the credit of the demon sealing ceremony, or even whether the patient is still that person after treatment. .
In short, Te Guima's shadow ability is very dangerous, and he is basically hopeless after being hit.
The good news is that Terguama is not dangerous in normal conditions, and the scope of the shadow stripping ability is limited. It is even a member of the Ice Crown Ice Demon recipe.
The problem now is that while the Ice Crown Ice Demon has entered its breeding period, the special horses have shown a tendency to move in groups. Like ordinary horses, they eat grass together and run away together, which has brought great harm to the remaining cities on the local floating islands. risks of.
But it’s hard to say what kind of war strategy it is.
In order to deal with bandits and large wild monsters in the penal colony, every city has a city wall. Special Guima's ability is powerful, but it is not suitable for attacking cities.
What is wrong is reflected in the phenomenon of special Guama clusters.
In recent days, at least three different groups of special Guima horses have been photographed, with the number exceeding 5,000, and even more hundreds of horses.
The Ice Crown Ice Demon can indeed use [Ice Coffin] to kill the Special Guima from a distance of hundreds of meters, but in such a large group, can a lone Ice Demon really disperse them? Or is the ice demon immune to shadow peeling?
The research is not in-depth enough, and I can feel that something is wrong. As for which point, there is a lack of evidence.
Of course, sometimes things don’t necessarily require too much evidence.
Now that I have noticed that something is not right, I have to find a way... There is not much to think about. It is just to support more things that are meaningful for the resistance operations to the surrounding areas.
Electric lathes based on magic energy have already reached a certain level of production, and a batch can be sold locally at a low price in the form of official subsidies to help local resistance forces fill the gap in projectiles.
In addition, a small number of civilian versions are supported to fly over, making it easier for surrounding floating islands to contact the living people on the floating island where Gate 2 is located.
The floating island covers an area of about 11,000 square kilometers. The terrain is mainly mountainous and the population is very small. The entire floating island adds up to less than 300,000 people, and less than half of them are alive now.
They will not be picked up, and there is no force around them that can squeeze out food for tens of thousands of people during the next cooling period. It would be great if only a few of them starve to death.
Therefore, there are only a few flying cars that can serve as cross-island transportation for messengers and individuals, and will not affect the air transportation capacity of the kingdom and surrounding areas.
A few armored versions with pulse engines are also shipped. This thing burns oil, and the area around Gate 2 is a little far from the oil production area. The cost of storing oil is very high, and if the quantity is too large, it can only be left idle.
Use the speeding car to gain some tactical enhancement for the local area, and occasionally act as a transport vehicle to send some projectiles across the island. Even if the mission is completed, if a more dangerous situation occurs, you can only count on the response from the side of Fatel to the west of it.
Fatel itself will next face the threat of demons from the two gates and the ecological changes brought about by the cooling. To be honest, the possibility of suppressing Gate 2 is extremely small, and there is even the possibility of giving up a few floating islands to gain a buffer. .
Back to the overall battle situation.
After door 5 was opened, Wang Qi realized one thing. The location of Phoenix City was abnormal.
Although it is not in the center of the five gates, the two conditions of "accommodating more than 100,000 people" and "having strategic space to establish a stronghold" can be added. The location of Phoenix City was the only option in the central circle at that time. If the location is combined with the distance brought about by the floating island, the meaning of each door will be different, and the actual location of Phoenix City will be closer to the center.
Did Solaris “see” the changes back then?
But it is said that the splitting of the Demon Realm Gate into five was caused by the God-Slaying Lord. Does it mean that the Lord is still unable to escape Solaris's prophecy ability?
This point is a bit concerning. Wang Qi wants to talk to Solaris.
