In a foreign land, in the Broken City, ripples suddenly appeared in the huge time and space nodes, and then a series of transport convoys emerged from the time and space gate, passing straight through the city full of sentries and guards, driving on the road built with magic. Here comes the smooth and wide road.
Hill, the plastic apprentice who arrived in the foreign land for the first time, looked at the outside world through the transparent window of the transport convoy. In sharp contrast to the solid and flat road below the convoy, it was the devastated land full of ravines and craters. He said with emotion. .
"Teacher, is this a foreign land? It's more desolate than the moon..."
"Those are the traces left by the battle between Lord Magic Star Linn and the God of the Moon!" The great wizard named Cord explained with a smile, and then shook his head. "But other places are not much better! I heard that this place was once a star of life, but it is almost at the end of its life!"
"Even planets will come to an end?" Hill's face showed a look of astonishment. In her opinion, the main body of the world is composed of stones and soil. Is it possible that even hard stones have a lifespan?
"Of course, everything will die one day." The old wizard responded with a smile.
"Then will this day happen in our world?" Hill frowned in great concern.
"This..." The great wizard couldn't help but pause for a moment. Hill's question undoubtedly touched on his knowledge blind spot, so he coughed twice in embarrassment and spoke. "Who knows? Maybe! But that will happen a long, long time later."
Hill couldn't help but wonder how long it was, but before she could figure it out, the advancing motorcade stopped. It was obvious that they had arrived!
The great wizard Cord immediately stepped down from the transport convoy to avoid being questioned again.
What they arrived at was an open woodland, surrounded by earth and stone walls created by magic. Although it looked simple, in fact the protection level was very high, and the entire site was shrouded in alchemical circles.
As soon as they got out of the car, several people heard bursts of violent roars and the sound of steel being hammered.
"It seems that these little guys are not very peaceful!" Cord said with a laugh.
"Of course, how can anyone who can survive in such a harsh environment in a foreign land be at ease!" The wizard guarding the entrance also laughed, and soon led the two of them into the cave surrounded by earth and rocks. In the woodland.
Unlike other wizards who come to foreign lands to transport supplies, they come here to rescue foreign monsters.
Because once the world collapses, all creatures living in foreign lands will suffer catastrophe. It would be too wasteful to let them disappear with the world. Therefore, during the previous meeting, Sanchez, who had just become the speaker, proposed A proposal to rescue these exotic monsters and bring them back to the Eternal Star to be raised.
This is undoubtedly strongly supported by many shaping, potion, and alchemist scholars. Whether it is based on practical considerations of enriching magic materials or considerations of protecting life, this rescue plan must be implemented.
However, it is not easy to capture these exotic monsters. Every monster they encounter either has strong power or special life-saving and escape skills.
When Cord stepped into it, he saw a seven-meter-tall giant beast at first glance. It was angrily trying to tear open a steel cage with its claws. Unfortunately, it was electrified. Under this, the violent giant beast quickly fell to the ground, its body trembling with the electric current.
The other monsters imprisoned here are also tightly restricted by magic.
"Isn't this a bit too cruel?" Hill couldn't help but said.
"Actually, we have also tried non-cruel methods." The wizard who led the way shrugged and kept talking about the difficulties of their work.
In fact, when these monsters were captured, members of the Nature Conservation Association tried to use psionic magic to communicate with them, but apparently with little success.
Compared to calm exchanges, these powerful monsters who have lived in harsh foreign environments for a long time understand better that having a big fist is the last word!
Cord also knew that it was unrealistic to tame these monsters in a short time, and it was already good to be able to achieve this level of control.
"The men we sent out also found a colony of griffons, but it's a pity that they can only stay here forever." The wizard said with regret.
These monsters that already exist in the Eternal Star and have spawned groups are not worth their time and energy to save.
"Our time is limited, so we can only do our best!" Cord also felt it was a pity. Their ability to do this rescue work was largely based on their love for these creatures.
"Okay, let's get down to business!" Cord didn't wait too long and ordered the wizards present to work together to load the dozens of newly captured monsters into trucks and transport them away.
Those monsters that are too large can only be equipped with a few wheels under the cage and dragged along by transport trucks.
Loaded with heavy objects that could move several tons or even dozens of tons, the return journey was much slower than when we came. After half a day, we had not even completed a third of the distance.
Even if they gave these restless monsters sleeping powder before traveling, there was no guarantee that they would wake up halfway.
Cord was thinking about it and was about to instruct a few wizards to reinforce the cage in case something was unexpected, when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?" Cord's expression changed immediately, and he stuck his head out of the window to check the situation. To his expectation, there was no problem with the cages holding those monsters.
"Heaven... look at the sky!" a witch accompanying the car reminded loudly.
What sounded the alarm was a magic detection device placed on the roof of the car, which could detect strong magic reactions several kilometers away.
Cord raised his head and soon saw the culprit that triggered the alarm. It was hundreds of strange monsters with wings and flaming bodies, almost turning the sky into red.
"What is this? Is it a new kind of monster?" Hill stared at the group of flame demons emerging in the sky and said excitedly.
They came to the foreign land just to find those unseen monsters and bring back the Eternal Star, but the other party actually took the initiative to send them to their door.
Cord's expression became a little serious. Unlike Hill, who arrived in a foreign land for the first time, this was not the first time he had performed such an escort mission.
We have never been attacked on a large scale in the past, because the warcraft living in foreign lands are very vigilant. When so many of them gather together, the magic reaction is very strong. Ordinary warcraft will not choose to get close at all, let alone Adventure strikes.
More importantly, the appearance of these monsters reminded him of the advance troops from the main world that the Magic Star had mentioned when he attended the last meeting.
In this moment of delay, hundreds of Balrogs had already swooped down.
Fierce cannon sounds also rang out. In order to ensure that there would be no problems while transporting these monsters, in addition to the protection of the great wizard Cod and a dozen official wizards, the convoy itself also carried some light weapons.
The terrifying barrage swept past, and the fifteen Balrogs that were charging the most eagerly were immediately beaten into gags, and then their bodies suddenly exploded, and their lava-like limbs fell down like erupting magma.
Each Balrog is like a moving explosive barrel. Their semi-elemental bodies can withstand most attacks. If they encounter a blow beyond the limit, they will explode directly, and the flames generated by these explosions will not hurt. To the rest of the companions, it will become their source of benefits and strength.
Cord saw with his own eyes a Balrog that had half of its body shattered by the barrage. It directly merged with the remains of its companion, recovering all the injuries. It showed no intention of retreating in the face of the continuous barrage, as if Killing is their only purpose.
Cord frowned. This didn't look like a natural iteration of the species. It was simply a war weapon that had been artificially modified.
【Frozen Breath】
Seeing these flaming monsters rushing down despite the machine gun fire, Cord raised his hand, and the frost in the sky quickly condensed in mid-air. The next moment, it turned into a violent cold wave and rolled towards them. The Balrog.
The scorching flames collided with the extremely cold frozen breath, and the reaction was very violent. All the Balrogs that came into contact with the ice crystals first shrank in size, and then exploded directly.
Cord secretly sighed in relief. It seemed that the strange monsters that attacked them were not as powerful as they imagined. Their power was only at the level of the second and third rings. What was commendable was their semi-elemental body and the ability to self-destruct. I can handle it on my own without needing to apply for support.
Just as he was thinking this, Cord's face suddenly darkened, because several exploding Balrogs flew at a very low altitude, and the scattered flaming remains actually burned a cage restraining the giant beast for several seconds. A big hole.
The venue that was originally relatively controllable immediately became extremely chaotic.
"Damn it!" Cord yelled, and had no choice but to expand his territory and dispose of these flying explosive barrels as soon as possible to avoid releasing more dangerous monsters.
It took a full hour and a half for the wizards present to finally solve these big troubles. As a price, two official wizards and more than a dozen guards lost their lives. They all died unluckily from the claws of the monsters that were broken out of the prison. Down.
Cord's face was extremely dark, but what worried him even more was the meaning of the appearance of these weird monsters.
The originally calm sky had changed color at some point, and a strong storm seemed to be coming...
