Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 679 The War Begins
Nott's Fortress.

[Prompt (Tree of the Void): Notarization completed! The space coordinates have been occupied successfully. The current notarization carrier is: Nott Fortress Core Key. The space coordinates are notarized to belong to: Sanctuary Paradise]

[Reminder (Tree of the Void): Since the coordinates of space 01 have entered the notarization state, please confirm the specific area where the pyroxene energy is concentrated as soon as possible (it must be a continuous blank area of ​​no less than 1000m). After confirmation, the output speed of pyroxene resources in this area will be "super-hugely" increased. The current output speed is: 1000 standard units/day]

A majestic reminder sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. Inside the Nott Fortress, if someone went out and looked at it at this time, they would find that a silver-white light column that penetrated the sky and the earth was covering the core tower of the entire Nott Fortress, and its light was converging towards the top of the core tower at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Great!!!” “Haha! Success!!”

In the conference room, Ryan looked at the dark fortress collapsing into the earth on the screen and couldn't help but burst into excited cheers, while the blond young man Anwen beside him also cheered with unusual joy.

"Ryan, Anwen, you did a great job."

Sitting on the main seat, Xin Lailai, who was covered in thick dust, as if he had just walked out of some sandy environment, used magic to clean his clothes, then looked at the two young men in front of him, nodded slightly, and praised generously.

"Master Black Sword, thank you for your praise. We are just giving advice here. If the fortress did not have Master Black Sword's magic, it would be impossible for the two of us to execute the plan so smoothly."

Ryan, who was praised by Xin Lailai, smiled a little embarrassedly and spoke in a shy tone. At the same time, there was a strong shock in his eyes when he looked at the black-haired young man.

To be honest, when the other party said that there was a way to dig a pit large enough to trap an entire medium-sized fortress without the enemies on the other two sides noticing, they were a little confused at first. They even worried that it was too radical for the other party, as the commander-in-chief, to leave the fortress to set the trap.

But when he saw the actual pictures sent back by the other party, and saw that the other party easily manipulated the earth elements to modify the terrain structure in a space hundreds of meters underground, and crushed the rocks within a radius of thousands of meters into quicksand bit by bit, Ryan no longer had any doubts about the strength of the black-haired young man.

"No need to be modest. All I did was to assist you in completing the plan you thought of. It was you two who really made the first step of this war go so smoothly."

Faced with Ryan's humility, Xin Lailai just shook her head slightly, her pupils reflecting his and the blond young man's faces, and she replied with a smile, obviously very satisfied with him.

Just as he said, although judging from the results, the final word was given by the big pit he dug with earth magic, but in fact, if Ryan and Anwen had not escaped from Fort Dika and Fort Xulan for so long without sacrificing a single soldier, and even calculated which route the opponent would take to track, when they would send out advance troops, when they would be so anxious as to rush to the space coordinates in advance... and even which angle to attack from after falling into the pit so that the opponent's main guns would be completely useless and they could only stay in the fortress and watch them rush to the space coordinates, etc., it would obviously be impossible to take down a medium-sized fortress just by digging a pit.

"Ahem, this... Actually, it's not as powerful as Lord Black Sword said. We just happened to have a sudden inspiration and thought of this simple method."

Ryan, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment, scratched the back of his head and spoke.

To be honest, when the thought of using digging pits to deal with the enemy's medium-sized fortress came to mind, not to mention the black-haired young man, even he himself first reacted to the question of how this was possible.

But after carefully analyzing the overall situation at the Deika Fortress with the blond young man, and learning from the black-haired young man that there was no large-scale spiritual perception field around the Deika Fortress, they were surprised to find that this folk method relying on physics was surprisingly effective for the Deika Fortress, which was difficult to operate flexibly even to turn around.

"However, speaking of this, according to the information you provided, Lord Black Sword, shouldn't there be a creature called the Zerg Queen responsible for sensing the situation at the Dika Fortress? Why this time..."

Ryan said, looking at the picture on the screen, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In fact, he felt that the strategy of digging holes would not work at first because he learned from the intelligence provided by Xin Lailai that there was a Zerg Queen on the opposite side with a large-scale perception ability. But when the three sides officially started a tug-of-war, Xin Lailai suddenly told him that there was no spiritual field for perception around the Dika Fortress, and it was even completely unguarded in terms of perception. This made him dare to formulate such a plan.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party probably used some radical methods."

Hearing Ryan's question, Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes, stared at the scene on the screen, and spoke.

The Zerg Queen is born with extremely powerful perception and mental strength, which basically will not change. After all, if she wants to control such a large swarm of Zerg, her spirit and perception cannot be weakened.

But it is also a fact that there is no mental force field around the Dika Fortress, and the fact that the opponent actually stepped into the trap can also prove that this is not a deliberate trap. Then, there are only two possibilities left. Either the opponent did not summon the Zerg Queen this time, or the Zerg Queen on the opposite side is in a state of being unable to perceive the outside world for some reason.

As luck would have it, in the information Xin Lailai had read, there was a situation that could cause the Zerg Queen to fall into a coma immediately after arriving in a world, and that situation was also very consistent with the situation in the reincarnation world, which was...

Om-! !

As if reflecting Xin Lailai's words, on the screen, a dark red column of blood shot up into the sky, stirring up a huge sandstorm on the battlefield. Then, deafening shouts of killing burst out from the top of the dark fortress that was trapped in a huge pit.

“Kill!!” “The bastard who destroyed the tower!!”

“Ooo ...

Roaring, yelling, laughing... all kinds of rough and sharp sounds mixed together, penetrating through the thick sandstorm. A group of Horned Beast soldiers wearing armor, holding various heavy weapons, and with a pair of powerful horns on their foreheads rushed out from the dust and haze, riding on the war beasts under their crotch, and rushed towards the direction of Nott Fortress with an incomparable momentum.

On its two wings were two Scaled Beastmen troops with snake scales of different colors on their bodies, holding metal spears that were four meters long or more in their hands. There was also an Inhuman air force hovering in the sky, sitting on various flying war beasts, holding longbows or throwing spears.

At a glance, tens of thousands of Inhuman soldiers were like a dark cloud, rushing towards the direction of Nott Fortress at a speed more than twice as fast as the fortress, giving people a feeling of extremely powerful momentum.

However, this time, not many people paid attention to the Inhumans' troops in the front. In other words, everyone in the conference room was attracted by the things behind the Inhumans' army:

They were a group of war beasts...or rather, some things that looked like war beasts.

With a body of more than thirty meters in size, it was like a moving ten-story building, making the Inhuman soldiers in front of it, who were less than five meters in height including the beast, look extremely small.

Huge spider-like limbs protrude from its lower abdomen and the front of its torso, allowing it to move freely in all kinds of complex terrains. At the end of those limbs is a huge body that looks like a wild dog, crocodile, and wolf sewn together. Silver-white hair grows from its hideous muscle lines, and its scarlet compound eyes give people a sense of beast-like ferocity. Combined with its mouthparts full of sharp teeth and ring-shaped like a sandworm, just one look at it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

There was no need for any extra explanation. With just one glance, Ryan, Anwen and Tafina beside him instantly understood the identity of the thousands of huge spider-shaped war beasts on the screen.

Weapons of war, Moon Demon Zerg.

"This is... the Moon Demon Zerg that Lord Black Sword mentioned."

In the conference room, Ryan looked at the screen with a little shock in his eyes, but then he took a deep breath and looked at Xin Lailai beside him. After seeing the other party nod in approval, his eyes were stern, and he instructed the AI ​​controlling the fortress without hesitation:
"Not! Notify all squadrons to prepare for reloading! As soon as the enemy appears within range, do not hesitate, open fire immediately!"

"Also, fire all the city defense cannons 1 to 8, and lock the main cannon No. 1 to..."

A series of hurried instructions rang out from the conference room, and Xin Lailai looked at the scene, nodded slightly, and didn't say much. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the room, and at the same time, he did not forget to order Tafina beside him: "Let's go, it's time to see the methods of our enemies."

"Yes, Lord Black Sword."

A pleasant but powerful response sounded, and Tafina's expression froze. Without any hesitation, she quickly followed the black-haired young man.

As a great warlock, she knew very well that it was not the mission of either the black-haired young man or her to sit in the conference room and wait for the results.

In other words, for a war between more than one great warlock and one crown warlock, strategy and tactics are ultimately just means to establish advantage. What truly determines the outcome of a war is always the outcome of the struggle between the upper and top-level extraordinary people on both sides.

This is...

……

……

What is inter-fortress warfare like?

Antoine had been curious about this question before.

When he was still a normal citizen in the tower and an ordinary spell teacher in that small fortress, he was also curious about what the war between fortresses was like. What kind of scene was the description in the book that the sky was like a huge thunderstorm and the earth seemed to be crying endlessly?
How would he feel if he witnessed such a scene with his own eyes?
Will you be excited? Will you be happy? Will you feel your blood boiling? Or will you feel the cruelty and horror of war?
In the past, he had thought about these questions. However, when he was truly in the position of a bystander, he realized that there was only one emotion that would arise:

fear.

Like a nightmare.

When the silver-white beam of light broke through the dark clouds and descended upon the earth, Antoine felt as if he had fallen into a bizarre nightmare.

In his nightmare, he seemed to see three huge and ferocious beasts breathing and biting each other on the vast plain, using their ferocious bloody mouths to spit out breath at each other that was enough to destroy mountains.

Biting, interlacing, bombarding, colliding...

Every clash is an earth-shattering collision, and the residual power of a casual blow is enough to change the terrain of an entire mountain range.

Not only that, in this nightmare, he could even clearly dream about how the gray-black giant beast toyed with the other two giant beasts between its applause, and how it crushed the offspring sent by the other two giant beasts like insects.

Roar, endless roar, as if it was going to tear the whole world in half.

A huge roar filled Antoine's eardrums, making his consciousness gradually blurry. He felt that his actions were being controlled by fear.
What made everyone wake up was a loud noise like the earth collapsing.

The battle of the giant beasts...is over.

The gray-black behemoth trapped the pitch-black behemoth in a trap, snatched the silver-white beam of light that seemed to be sent down by the gods, and swallowed it with its bloody mouth.

"it's over……"

Inside the carriage, Antoine looked down at the seventeen children who were huddled up in front of him, covering their ears, then looked up at the silver-white beam of light that was gradually disappearing in the distance, muttering, with a look of relief on his face for surviving the disaster.

Survived...

The aftermath of the battle between the three fortresses did not reach this small settlement only thirty kilometers away from the edge of the war.

The only thing to worry about is whether the violent shock just now will cause the mine to appear...

"A pyroxene beast! A pyroxene beast has escaped!!!"

"Wait...don't eat me, no, don't--!!!"

As if in response to Antoine's concerns, suddenly, a large number of terrified voices came from outside the carriage. At the entrance of the mine located downhill, the pyroxene disease patients who were hiding inside rushed out with horror on their faces, followed by a huge beast mouth as tall as a person and several abrupt screams.

Antoine looked at this scene, his expression slightly changed. Just as he was about to remind the children in the carriage to hide and not make any noise, the imaginative young man next to him suddenly spoke:

“Is it about to start?”

Start? What start? Didn't the war between the three fortresses end?
Hearing the answer from the imaginative young man, Antoine showed a hint of doubt in his eyes. He subconsciously looked towards the battlefield shrouded in a large amount of dust and haze, and then suddenly froze.

"Roar…!"

A terrified growl was heard. At the bottom of the hill, the pyroxene beast that rushed out of the mine seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly growled, and its limbs went limp, and it just crawled on the ground.

The pyroxene disease patients who were fleeing everywhere seemed to have noticed something. They looked up into the distance one by one, and then they were all stunned.

Looking from afar, they could see that on the distant plain, four different colors had occupied the sky at some point. The four colors of pitch black, dark red, blood red, and grayish white collided with each other, rendering the sky above the battlefield like an ink painting, giving them the illusion that they were in a dream, especially when they saw the unforgettable scene under the four-color sky:
A huge meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer fell from the sky.

A pitch-black blade light that was a hundred meters long shot up into the sky.

It was like a confrontation between gods and demons in a fairy tale. Even though the sound had not yet been transmitted due to the distance, when the two sides collided, the wanderers present all had the same thought in their minds -

Natural disaster... has arrived!
