The mage arrives

When Gordon and Melanise were chatting comfortably while tasting fine wine in the tavern, the terrifying weapon that the succubus lady said was made by the dragon queen Tiamat was overwhelming the ancient city of Se'anzu. Gather around.

Without the influence of the mysterious gem "Grey Frost", the city has been liberated from the shackles of ice and snow in a short period of time.The white snow covering the entire city has melted away, revealing the original gray appearance of the entire urban complex.

The huge city wall extends to a place that Gordon has never explored, to the boundary of the entire abyss.A black energy curtain that connects the sky and the earth is a new connection point formed between the 120th-layer Order Kingdom of the Abyss and the 44th-layer corpse plain of the Abyss.

At this time, a huge undead army is slowly coming out from the black energy curtain.Looking down from the sky, it looks like a huge gray-white bug covered with bone spurs, slowly wriggling towards the distance.

The dead air brought by the undead army penetrated into the thawed muddy soil under the feet, gradually dyeing the entire land of Se'anzu in a black color like thick slurry. bored.

And the supreme commander of the undead army was standing on the huge mountain wall of Se'an Zu, condescendingly reviewing the army that he was about to conquer this abyss level.

It is fat and huge, and it can even be compared with the belvedere on the city wall when viewed from a distance.The lower body of this giant creature horse and the upper body of a human are a very common creature in the fantasy world-centaur.It's just that this giant centaur has a gray complexion like a dead man, and there are terrible wounds all over his body.Some of these wounds were deep enough to show bone, and some were festered and pus-filled.It exudes a stench that makes people cover their noses.However, the person involved didn't care about it, and even regarded these wounds as medals.Proud.

Moreover, if an enemy thinks that these wounds are the weakness of this giant centaur.And if you concentrate your attacks during the battle, you will probably suffer a big loss.The centaur demon lord, Balar Ironhoof, will deal the most cruel and merciless blows to those enemies who think they are clever.

Looking at his invincible army of undead, Iron Hoof Balal showed a ferocious and proud smile.

Although theoretically, the demons of the endless abyss can reproduce endlessly, their number growth rate will still be subject to many restrictions.But Iron Hoof Balal had cultivated such a huge undead army in a short period of time this time, so he was indeed entitled to be proud.

Those skeletons, zombies, ghouls and other undead creatures.There is no need to learn and train like humans, nor does it need to slowly evolve to a battle-ready form like demons.Immediately after their birth, they could be used by Balar, becoming a huge war machine for him to conquer enemies and realize his ambitions.

At this time, standing beside Balal, and admiring the marching posture of the undead army with the demon lord, was Donelu.This giant toon-hunting ugly guy was as ugly as Balal.None of them are demons in the standard form—that is, the Tanari family known in the main material world, including succubus, glabra, Balor and so on.They are all strange-shaped demons born from the chaotic energy of the abyss, and there is only one in the entire multiverse, unique.

Such a rare odd-shaped demon.Now they are together, and they have formed a very stable master-slave relationship by devil standards.It has to be said that this is a very rare thing.

After Gordon and his party managed to escape.Donelu left the Aion with a group of Northengardians.They had no means of accessing the other Se'anzu in upper space, so they could only stay in this city.Waiting quietly for the arrival of Balal's army.

Although he was successfully escaped by Gordon, Donelu didn't take it seriously. At this time, he was standing beside his master, admiring the majestic appearance of the army of undead, while excitedly making a "hissing" sound with his mouthparts. Voice.

The mood of Donelu, a big bug, can even be described as "carefree".It's just that the Northengardian party who came with him to meet Balar was not in a good mood at this time.

As the representative of Northengard and Tiamat beside Ironhoof Balal at this time, Countess Zebella is also qualified to stand beside the demon lord.It's just that she obviously didn't like the stench of rot and death mixed with Ironhoof Balar, and she couldn't appreciate the "strange" appearance of the undead centaur and his big bug subordinates.

So even if the will is as firm as this storm lord, he can't help frowning.

Of course, the biggest factor that put Zebella in a bad mood was the failure of the previous hunt for the white dragon.

Because obtaining the Eternal Orb "Mifane Altoden" is her top priority, as for the cooperation with the abyss allies, even without her, there are other Northengardians to complete.

Without the white dragon, she lost the opportunity to enter that strange space, and also missed the treasure that was close at hand.But Zebella didn't give up.She believes that no matter how Gordon and his party escape, there is still a very high possibility of returning to the City of Order in the end.That's why she led her subordinates without hesitation to join the army of Iron-hoofed Balar invading this abyss level.

When the undead army surrounds the city of order, and then the mages under Balaar deploy the dimensional anchor barrier, all creatures in the city will be impossible to escape.At that time, Zebella can slowly catch the white dragon, and by the way, clean up the mage who has repeatedly broken his affairs.

The countess clenched her proud black halberd tightly. On the cold long pole, it seemed that Codd's divine power was transmitted, which made her feel a little relieved.

"My search for the Eternal Orb with the Asius family can only be temporarily put aside, and now it's time to fulfill my obligations as a nobleman of Northengard and a citizen of Tiamat," she said to herself.

But this time, the so-called fulfillment of the duty by the Countess was not to fight on the battlefield with a weapon, but to be an observer to evaluate the combat effectiveness of a new weapon.

As soon as the countess finished speaking, there was a loud and ear-piercing sound, as if it was made to deliberately arouse malice and displeasure in people's hearts.Came from behind the black energy curtain.

Hearing this neighing sound that could make ordinary people have nightmares, Balar and his loyal subordinates did not even frown.Instead, he showed excitement.

"Here we come, my babies are here!" the undead centaur shouted.Excited, his four hooves stomped on the city wall, splashing pieces of gravel.

Just as the demon lord was excited, a large dark red cloud pierced through the black energy curtain and rolled in from another abyss level, covering Se'anzu's blue sky.For a moment, the light dimmed, as if it had entered evening.

These astonishingly large numbers of things flying in the sky are not the most common vlo demons in the endless abyss.But another flying creature that has never been seen before.

If Gordon saw the ugly and distorted appearance of these flying creatures with his own eyes at this time, and then recalled the few words he heard from several gods before, he would definitely be able to call them by their name immediately: Abyss Dragon.

That's right, the new weapon that Baral the Iron Hoof used to invade the Kingdom of Order is a new type of creature created by Tiamat using the chaotic energy of the abyss and the genes of the devil.

The bodies of these abyssal dragons are roughly the same as those of ordinary giant dragons, except that they are a bit smaller.Even the weakest white dragon, compared with these abyssal dragons.Just like normal humans and halflings.In terms of appearance, the biggest difference between an abyssal dragon and an ordinary dragon is that the abyssal dragon has a demon's head.

Berserkers, Glazes, Barlows, Serpents, and even Succubus.These extremely weird flying creatures are like a crude operation performed by some crappy surgeon.It's just like sewing the head of any demon on the dragon's neck bluntly.

Except for a few guys with strange minds like Iron Hoof Balar and his bug subordinates, almost every witness who saw the appearance of the abyss dragon.It will be labeled ugly, messy, uncoordinated, etc. adjectives.But aren't these characteristics the characteristics of the abyss and the devil?

And put aside the appearance issue.For a pragmatist like Gordon, it is probably the most concerned thing.It's still about the combat effectiveness of these abyssal dragons.

According to some Tiamat believers who personally participated in the development and manufacture of this new type of synthetic creature, although the combat power of the abyssal dragon is not as good as that of the giant dragon, it is far superior to the ordinary sub-dragon species.And the most important thing is that as long as there is the blood of the dragon provided by the Dragon Queen, this flying monster can be quickly mass-produced in the endless abyss.

Although it is ugly and distorted, and has lost the nobility and majesty that dragons should have, but only from a practical point of view, the abyss dragon does look like a very effective weapon.

The reason why the prefix "looks like" is added is because this artificial creature has not yet been put into actual combat.This military operation to attack the Kingdom of Order is not only the first step to realize the ambition of Iron Heel Balar, but also a practical test of this new type of biological weapon by the Northengardians.

Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know.

Iron Hoof Balal made careful and detailed preparations in advance for his attack on the Kingdom of Order. Not to mention that it was safe, at least there were very few insiders, which was enough to guarantee a surprise attack on that strange demon who was obsessed with symmetrical aesthetics all day long.It's just that such a large-scale military operation going hand in hand in open space will always leak the wind and be known by others.

For example, at the tavern in the city of symmetry, Melanise was sitting face to face with Gordon at the wine table talking.

Because Se'anzu suddenly appeared, not only Baru Dilong, but even the Succubus Queen suddenly became the neighbor of Baral the Iron Hoof.Of course, the Succubus Queen is quite wary of the ambitious and frequently moving undead centaur.

"Long distance and close attack" is a very common diplomatic concept.In the past, there was no Se Anzu, the bridge connecting all levels of the abyss, so the Succubus Queen could choose to make friends with Balal, whose strength has been rising all the way.But now that the situation has changed, Her Majesty the Queen is deeply suspicious of the undead army that can pass through the space connection point and invade her starry plain at any time.

You know, she had just suffered a big loss in the main material world, and her strength was greatly lost. With the ups and downs, it has become more and more difficult to fight against the iron hoof Balal.So after the Succubus Queen returned to her territory from Freirius City, she immediately focused her intelligence work on two priorities: finding Gordon's whereabouts and monitoring the movements of Baral the Iron Hoof.

Compared with Baru Dillon, who "doesn't do business" all day long, the Succubus Queen is obviously more informed.Not only did Melanise know when the stinking undead centaur would invade the Kingdom of Order, she even knew it.The opponent will use a new weapon in the war.

"Abyss Dragon..." Gordon repeated the word over and over again.

After he heard the news from Melanise, he was indeed taken aback.

The succubus says Balar Ironhoof will be in the battle to attack Symmetry City.Using a new weapon, the Higher thought it would be a bone chariot.Or a large weapon related to necromancy, such as a colossus of spirit and flesh, but unexpectedly, it was actually an abyss dragon.

According to the succubus, the abyss dragon seems to be a mysterious creature that has not yet appeared in the world of Telos. It is a secret weapon created by Tiamat and the abyss demon lords in cooperation.However, Gordon, who has rich game experience in "The Ancient Era", already knew everything about this artificial creature.

It's just that although he knows how to deal with the abyss dragon, he doesn't have such conditions now.

After all, according to Melanise, the abyss dragon in the hands of Baral the Iron Hoof.There are more than ten thousand heads.With such an overwhelming quantity, he couldn't deal with it by tricks.It is said that "four ounces pull a thousand catties", but if it is a thousand tons of power, it will not be able to pull it away.

"In addition to more than [-] abyssal dragons, Ironhoof Balal also mobilized [-]% of the troops in his territory - a [-] undead army, to attack the city of symmetry. I think Baru Dilong's personal strength is no matter what Even if it is powerful, it is impossible to destroy an army of this size." Melanise seemed to think that the news she just gave was not shocking enough, and continued.

"One hundred thousand..." Gordon put his hand on his forehead and sighed.He wasn't too frustrated.Because anyway, the [-] abyssal dragons are far beyond their capabilities.Then adding an army of [-] undead did not change anything.Can't handle it anyway.

Besides, he has no obligation to defend the city of symmetry.So no matter how powerful Ironhoof Balar's army is, it has nothing to do with him—hmm.If you can run ahead of time.

Although it seems that Gordon has been running away most of the time since he came to the endless abyss.But as long as he can save his life, he doesn't mind doing this kind of exercise that is good for physical and mental health a few more times.

Melanise seemed to see through Gordon's plan.The corners of her lips curled up, and she said with a smile: "Dear Gordon. I know that you don't intend to confront the army of Baral the Iron Hoof. But this must be based on one prerequisite: you can escape the city of symmetry."

"You mean, I can't escape?" Gordon looked at the succubus.He did intend to hear the news that Balal's army was about to attack the city of symmetry.Immediately took Jier and others to leave.He believed that with his various spells, he would be able to evacuate the city without incident.If it doesn't work, there is still Bailong, and with his power, he can go back to Shangse Anzu again, where he can avoid the flames of war.

The succubus gulped down the fine wine that Gordon had served as a treat, her pretty face blushed under the influence of the alcohol, she was indescribably charming.She smiled and said: "I'm afraid you don't know, there are still three hours at most, and the vanguard of Balal's army - that is, the abyss dragon that covers the sky and the sun - will soon arrive here. Before the attack, the undead half The spies placed in the city in advance will activate the anti-transport barrier. Well, I guess the barrier has already been activated at this time, so no one can escape..."

"How is it possible!" Gordon's face changed, and he cast a teleportation spell.As a result, just as Melanise said, his portal was snuffed out by an invisible force before it opened.

"How could Baru Dillon allow someone to do such a thing under his nose?" Gordon was puzzled, "With his control over the city, it is impossible to allow this kind of thing to happen."

"In normal times, the king would not allow the spies of other demon lords to make small moves in the city. However, Baru Dillon's energy has already been dragged down by how to resist the iron-heeled Baral's army. He simply can't care about these little things in the city."

Baru Dillon did not know much later than the Succubus Queen about Iron Hoof Balal's attack.It's just that in order to maintain the order of the city, he kept the news secret all the time. He was just quietly trying his best to increase the defense force and fight to the death with the enemy's undead army.

Anyway, Baru Dillon will definitely be determined to fight to the death in the city he has painstakingly managed, so if someone opens a teleportation barrier in the city to prevent others from escaping, he will be happy to see it succeed.

The plan was disrupted. Although Gordon was temporarily thrown into disarray, he quickly calmed down and turned his attention to Melanise: "Miss Succubus, since you are so calm and composed, you are not worried about the upcoming The siege army is worried, so can I think that you already have a safe way to evacuate?"

"It's really smart, my Mr. Mage. As expected of the man I like." Melanise rested her chin on one hand and looked straight at Gordon.

The mage didn't know why the other party suddenly became intimate, but attributed it to the succubus' instinct to lure the opposite sex.He continued: "If you say that, I will take it as an affirmative answer. Then, I think Miss Melanise, you should be willing to share the method of escaping this city. After all, your life is still in my hands. "

The succubus chuckled: "Of course I can take you, and even all the girls around you. Anyway, I am a generous woman, and I don't mind sharing it with others. But I am worried that you will not dare to go with me, Mr. Mage." .”

"why?"

"Because my destination is the Plain of Stars, Her Lady Queen's territory." (To be continued...)
