Compared to the shock of everyone in Kuhan City, the people who couldn't accept what happened in front of them the most at this time were of course the orcs.
Especially those orcs who were trapped on the giant barrier. They were resting well in the camp, but suddenly the world changed dramatically. The ground beneath their feet suddenly rose up, and they were trapped hundreds of meters away. On a high cliff.
There are cliffs in front and behind, and you can't advance or retreat. You can only approach the edge of the cliff cautiously, looking at your companions below who have turned into black dots.
Ogtanlon and Greg were quite lucky. They were located just outside the cliff. They were only a few hundred meters away. They might be trapped like those unlucky ones. In heaven.
Of course, both of them have armed rings. If they are really trapped, they can use their flying ability to get down. If not, they can quickly retreat through the support of the wind cavalry.
But the most tragic thing was the 200,000 orcs trapped inside the wall. At first, they were just frightened by the sudden wall, which caused a certain amount of panic.
But when the alliance army led the four-headed Chimera to attack, they were almost all dumbfounded.
What is this situation?
He and others were originally planning to attack, but suddenly they changed from hunters to prey.
It was only then that this group of people discovered to their horror that they had no way out.
The giant screen of more than 300 meters cut off their communication with friendly forces. Even if the two sides were only separated by a wall, this wall was too thick and too high.
The ensuing battle can be described as one-sided. The alliance dispatched 200,000 troops and four Chimeras, and with the help of several holy rankers, it was very easy to eliminate these trapped beasts of the beast tribe. .
Especially the four-headed Chimera, they are simply giant killing beasts born specifically for war.
Each of their lightning strikes can form a large-scale electric field, causing devastating damage to the creatures within it.
The orc army behind also thought about rescue, but this giant screen was like an insurmountable chasm, and the army could not reach the other side at all.
It was almost impossible to attack by force or take a detour. The wind cavalry conducted reconnaissance from high altitude. The huge wall in front of them almost surrounded the entire northern side of Kuhan City, and its thickness reached an astonishing fifty-odd years. meters, it is simply a real mountain range.
Want to punch through a mountain?
They can't do it yet with their own strength.
Maybe Ogtanlon and Greg could forcefully drill a small hole in it after wearing the armed ring, but doing so would obviously cost far more than the reward, and there was no need to consider it at all.
The Rock Demon Tribe was able to burrow through the ground with its ability to escape, but the opposite side was the Alliance's army, and even if they got past, they would only be delivering food.
The Chimera's indiscriminate bombardment, coupled with the encirclement and suppression by the mages and the gryphon knights, caused the orc army inside the barrier to be slaughtered overnight.
The orcs initially planned to send wind cavalry for support, but after being caught off guard by the hippogryph troops that had been ambushed in advance and suffering heavy losses, they completely gave up on their companions here.
The will to fight lasted until dawn. When the sun rose, the shadow was still shrouded under the giant barrier. It was obvious that the sun could no longer shine here, and the huge rock wall blocked everything.
Under the giant screen, blood flowed like a river, including from the orcs, humans, elves, and dwarves.
But what's more, there are corpses charred by lightning, twisted into heart-shaking shapes, completely turning this place into a hell.
All the 200,000 orcs in the army died.
This is a race war. Both sides do not need prisoners, and the orcs will not surrender.
The Alliance army quickly occupied the area behind the giant barrier and deployed frontline military points here, completely realizing McCarvey's previous plan and driving the orcs back to the Borean Grassland.
Now, the battlefield has changed from Kuhan City to the entrance to Beifeng Grassland, and the next war will also break out here.
When the residents of the city walked out of their houses, they finally understood what happened yesterday.
Although they couldn't see clearly from this distance due to the height, they could still see from the faint outline in the distance that it was a very large mountain range.
Since when was there such a majestic mountain range to the north of Kuhan City?
Many old residents who live here say they cannot understand this at all.
Fortunately, in the end, they found out about the situation from the tavern where the news gathered. It turned out that the mountain range was created by a certain saint-level powerhouse.
The name Pole Star spread throughout Kuhan City in just one morning.
The army did not stingy with the propaganda of the saint in the team, and Zhang Xiaoman gained popularity in this world for the first time.
In the past, everyone knew that five powerful men of the holy rank had arrived in Kuhan City, but they did not know who these people were. At most, they had heard of one McAvey Lecentra. As for those from other races, For many civilians, they still don't care much about the Holy Order.
But now, they know a new name, that is "Pole Star".
Compared to the shock and disbelief of McCarvey and others, the civilians and professionals in Kuhan City, and even the garrison and guards, did not have too many unacceptable emotions.
Because in their perception, the Holy Order is an invincible existence in the world, and the forbidden spells they master are also the most powerful spells. If all of this is done by the Holy Order, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
This is the surprise caused by the different perceptions, but it is not a bad thing at the moment. At least the residents of Kuhan City are not as panicked as they were at the beginning.
After Zhang Xiaoman finished using the Mountains of Rocks last night, he went back to his room to study the jade slip all night long.
For his current system, even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights, it would be nothing.
Coupled with the restorative ability of the Morning Star Ring, it only takes him less than two hours to fully recover even if he sleeps.
Now, after a night of research, he finally understood the secret of McAvey's immortality.
And this secret is actually very simple. It does not require taking some particularly cherished alchemy potion or the blood of other races, as he imagined.
There is just a technique similar to that of cultivating immortals. To be precise, it is a way to guide the dark spiritual power.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's understanding, he only needs to guide the dark spiritual power in his body according to the method in the jade slips, and then he can blend with nature at a unique frequency, thereby increasing his vitality by absorbing natural energy.
The so-called natural energy, to put it bluntly, is actually a form of active dark energy particles. The reason why this cultivation method has not been popularized in this world is because it requires the user to have very pure energy. premise.
For people in this world, the elemental power they use obviously cannot reach such a level, so naturally they cannot operate this method.
Only strong people like McAlevey can barely meet the conditions for operation, but even then they still don't even meet the qualifications for entry.
Zhang Xiaoman fell into deep thought for a while.
The appearance of this jade slip was very strange. According to McCarvey, it was found among the relics of Lord Paladin. The Paladin family that Rochester grew up in should also have such a trick, but he didn't notice it at the time. Or maybe even they themselves have forgotten this thing.
However, these are no longer important. What is important is why such an item suddenly appeared in this world.
Although the operation method of this dark spiritual power is somewhat similar to the elemental power practiced by the indigenous people of this world, if you look carefully to distinguish it, you can still find its incompatibility.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's observation, the way of cultivation in this world has its own unique system, which is traceable from beginning to end.
Just like the history of a civilization, it must be gradual and cannot jump from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age all at once.
However, the emergence of this dark spirit guidance method is very different. It is like archaeologists suddenly digging out a well-preserved and exquisitely crafted rice cooker from the ground when exploring primitive society. Everything is full of absurdity. Incredible.
Now, this is the jade slip in Zhang Xiaoman's hand.
In a place where the use of power is still very backward, he unexpectedly found a jade slip imprinted with a mature dark spirit guidance system. This obviously can only explain one problem, that is, this thing is not from this world at all!
"This place... must have been connected to some other place before..."
Looking up at the blue sky, Zhang Xiaoman became even more curious about the secrets here.
He is now almost certain that those so-called gods are probably not the true gods living in the God Realm as McAlevey said.
Talking about the tenth level and talking about gods is all nonsense.
Those "gods" are most likely dark spirits from another planet just like him!
Only in this way can it be explained where the jade slip in his hand came from.
And the origin of those rings seems to have been answered.
Dark magic weapon.
Dark spirit.
The goal of the Bound Breaker is very likely to be correct in a certain sense.
They were indeed restrained.
Zhang Xiaoman calculated the time in his mind, and there were only five days left before the arrival of the God's Advent Festival.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show an expression of anticipation on his face.
The truth will be revealed soon.
…
Today is the year 3629 of the Erin calendar, the eve of Advent.
In the city of Kuhan, the alliance soldiers had already forgotten about the upcoming festival and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to preparations for the next battle.
Only some civilians placed a beautiful bouquet of rainbow flowers in front of the windowsill, telling the world that the most solemn festival of the year was coming.
A patrolling soldier walked by the window sill and saw the beautiful flowers placed on it. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, remembering that the new year was coming in five days.
Some soldiers will smile, thinking about their wives and children in their distant hometowns, while continuing to patrol.
Some soldiers would sigh softly, as if they were sighing sadly for this untimely war.
Some people also stopped secretly, put their noses in front of the bunch of rainbow flowers, sniffed them gently, and then walked away silently.
The children stood behind the window sill, looking at the bleak streets outside through the gray glass, their eyes filled with the desire to go out and play.
Coupled with the restorative ability of the Morning Star Ring, it only takes him less than two hours to fully recover even if he sleeps.
Now, after a night of research, he finally understood the secret of McAvey's immortality.
And this secret is actually very simple. It does not require taking some particularly cherished alchemy potion or the blood of other races, as he imagined.
