"Hello, Griffith~"
Alandel sat on the barrel and greeted the knight.
Griffith moved forward, a severe headache and dizziness nearly causing him to fall to his knees. He gasped for air, feeling his stomach churning, and his mouth was filled with a salty taste, mixed with the grit of his teeth. Even the scenery in front of him was covered with a faint layer of blood red, twisting and shaking constantly.
He hurriedly checked himself and found that the shield was cooling down and there were several burns and punctures on the armor and body.
The volley just now caused huge damage while crushing Gratoni.
"Amber," Griffith trembled, "find her!"
"Don't worry, knight, my people have recovered her," Alandel pointed to the shade of the tree behind her. "She is more seriously injured than you and needs some time to recover."
Griffith took a breath after hearing that his companion's life was not in danger.
"Could it be that the one who attacked us just now was..."
"You can definitely guess this yourself!"
Alandel jumped off the barrel, took some potion and came over: "My team and I followed the traces of Erza's advance team and found an underground river that allowed us to bring the gunboat into the world. But the boat was destroyed. , materials were also scattered everywhere.
"We built a camp here and launched an investigation. However, there is a powerful aura lingering nearby. Anyone who dares to approach will attract terrible thunder and lightning."
It sounds like...
The situation is deteriorating in the worst and most undesirable direction. Griffith pressed his head and suppressed the ominous suspicion.
All in all, it requires detailed investigation before drawing a conclusion.
Griffith took a look at Amber's condition and saw that she was well cared for, but still in a coma. The Senate, legions, wizards, and Alandel's people gathered together, and they all guarded cautiously as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
These people are all experienced and powerful veterans. It can be imagined how dangerous it is to be able to scare them so much.
"I need supplies and manpower. Without Amber, I don't have enough strength to deal with the monsters here," Griffith asked honestly, "Can you help me?"
"Me?" Alandel pointed at herself and stared, "It's so dangerous here, I can't bear to be beaten!
"And I can't leave," Alandel continued, "The Arcane Council has contacted the wizards, and the demigod ordered me to set up a camp here and wait for the support troops to arrive.
"We originally thought that the Pyramid of the Sun on the ground was the center of troll civilization. In fact, it was just a door to the underground world. This underground world is the real mystery guarded by the trolls.
"Commodus has arrived here before the Senate, and his army on the ground is just a decoy. Soon, he will bring an army of local trolls to attack this camp."
This kind of place? Griffith looked up at the towering rock walls and domes, somewhat incomprehensible: "This place cannot be reached by reinforcements in a short while.
"The waterway is a one-way road with no return, and the land route is also very remote and dangerous. We can't even think of gathering an army in less than a few months."
"You know nothing about the power of magic~" Miss Mermaid pulled his arm and walked towards the other side of the camp. There, Griffith discovered a group of wizards. They formed a circle and used the materials on hand to set up a magic circle on the ground.
“This is a one-way summoning array.
"After Aaron's power increased, the wizards gained a lot of new knowledge and made great progress in the use of portals," Alandel explained. "Every team that enters the temple has extraordinary wizards. After completing the task, once a valuable target is determined, the demigods of the Southern Legion are immediately summoned. In this way, as long as one investigation team completes the task, even if all other teams fail, the overall situation will not be affected.
"These great people will set up positions on the spot and summon the recently formed psychic army here. No matter the cost..."
Just as he was talking, the summoning array on the ground was already in operation. The bright light tore through the space, creating a psychic vortex. Two powerful auras are echoing the wizard who summoned them.
Sequence 4 Paladin "Light of Destruction" Baldwin and Sequence 4 Priest "Divine Punishment Priest" Avignon will arrive here through the portal at any time.
The situation developed so suddenly that Griffith couldn't accept it. Too much intelligence exceeds the limits of personal ability and layout.
"I suggest you hurry up," Alandel stood on tiptoes and urged softly in the hesitant Griffith's ear, "I don't know in advance when you will come.
"However, just after we found some clues and started contacting the demigods, you appeared immediately! I was also surprised when I saw you. I have no way to contact you. As long as I delay for a while, the demigods will After they arrive, an order will put you at the forefront of the entire army.
"Could this be a coincidence?"
Miss Mermaid tilted her head and looked at Griffith: "If anyone else besides me has great expectations for you and believes that you will do something in this revolution that will change the world, , then He must be a person with hands and eyes that can reach the sky.
"His vision extends to every corner, watching the changes in the situation every moment; his power extends to the most reliable confidants of the Senate and the Arcane Council.
"Go quickly, Griffith. There must be a reason why this big man is so eager to provide you with conveniences."
…
The jungles of the underworld are filled with ferocious monsters and legendary creatures. They hunt, reproduce, and evolve here, and those who survive are species that are extremely adaptable to the natural environment, tough and powerful.
Griffith encountered the poisonous dragon fly, the giant lizard that could turn people into stone, and the bull with the "eyes of death". The further he advanced, the more deadly the danger became. He even saw some terrifying giant figures with nine heads deep in the swamp.
Various monsters that only exist in stories are entrenched in the underground world. Even extraordinary beings are fragile when faced with attacks from powerful mythical creatures and are in danger of falling at any time.
The local aborigines, savage and ferocious trolls, are more keen on bloody and cruel battles than their terrestrial brethren. Trauma and bloodshed will activate the craziest cells in their bodies and extract their ultimate potential.
After Griffith was promoted to War Knight, due to the upper limit of human physique, his ability to resist blows and recovery power did not improve further. However, he can wear armor and move at high speed over long distances. His resistance is strong enough to be immune to most magics, curses and mantras, and he can also imprison or interrupt the chanting process of many abilities.
Condemnation and Death Coil also provide him with combat recovery abilities. In addition to the powerful ice shield, shield and already good physique, especially the fear resistance provided by the War Knight to his teammates, he is no weaker than the dedicated defense Saint in terms of personal defense or protecting teammates. knight.
Even so, even though he had reached the threshold of the Sequence Five "Conqueror", Griffith still felt that it was difficult to move forward.
If he's not careful, he will summon hordes of monsters to follow him. Layers of vines, mire and swamps become deadly traps.
A few hours after setting off, Griffith almost lost all his food and luggage, wandering around in the dense forest with only his most important weapons.
When he finally managed to get out of another vine, his vision suddenly widened.
The moist soil suddenly became dry and cracked, and the weeds turned yellow and devoid of any vitality. What's even more astonishing is that there are crackling currents and particles remaining in the air, and the sight is distorted. It is obvious that even the air has changed under this terrifying power.
This force tore a huge passage in the forest, as if a giant was pushing a boulder and crushing it all the way, destroying all life along the way.
This makes movement a lot easier, but it also means that danger is right around the corner.
Griffith thought for a moment, and then prepared to move forward carefully along the border between the yellow land and the forest.
The next second, a dull cracking sound suddenly came from the distance, just like the explosion when a boot stepped on a cockroach. It seemed that a skin bag filled with dirty blood was crushed and sprayed out in the forest. Dirty black bloody water higher than the tree crown.
Before Griffith could understand what was going on, a ten-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly burst out of the dense forest.
This violent beast was destroying everything, and rushed straight towards Griffith's position.
Griffith hurriedly took a spear in his hand and aimed at the beast's eye socket. Just when he was about to throw it with all his strength, the Tyrannosaurus suddenly tilted its body and slammed to the ground, and there was no more movement.
Griffith stepped forward to check and found that this creature was powerful enough to compete with extraordinary beings. However, there were several shocking wounds on the Tyrannosaurus's thick armor that could withstand a siege crossbow, and even the internal bones and internal organs were mashed.
Griffith weighed the strength between himself and the Tyrannosaurus, looking at the strong scales and unstoppable power, and then evaluated the combat effectiveness between himself and a piece of chestnut cake, and then dove into the woods without hesitation!
At this time, two auras shot up into the sky, becoming extremely terrifying and frightening in an instant. In front of this aura, the Tyrannosaurus that had just fallen was as innocent and weak as an unlucky passerby.
Griffith felt his teeth chattering. He made a long circle and prepared all the means of escape before he touched the vicinity of the two auras.
The first thing he saw was——
Commodus stood tall with his hand on the holy sword. There was an explosive and terrifying power in his tall and straight body, which was radiating brilliance all the time, as if he wanted to conquer all the rivers, thunder and lightning, mountains and canyons of nature, and fight against the gods. . Just standing there, it was as if everyone, even the whole world, was centered on him.
Commodus did not notice Griffith's approach. All his attention was focused on mid-air.
"Since you rushed here to die! Then I will be merciful and help you," Commodus whispered, "The holy sword Enduil will cleanse the world until pure eternity."
Dark clouds swirled in the sky, thunder rolled, and a pair of huge snow-white wings spread out on the exposed back. Dazzling light and pure white mist surrounded a woman with an astonishing appearance like a robe or skirt.
She holds lightning in her hand, and her flying red hair is hotter than the flames, but there is no emotion in her eyes, as if she is the embodiment of divine will that people dare not look up to.
Erza Valkyrie has unfolded her mythical creature form "Liberator", holding a beam of light in her flawless hands and throwing it downwards.
