Heart of the Castle

Chapter 668 The Seven Great War Zones, Buildings Completed

On the night of the enthronement ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I, Levi Stern and a group of important ministers of the kingdom formulated the strategy of the Northern County for a period of time in the map hall where the strong wind was howling. The wise countermeasure of "in the sheath" was just a temporary and helpless move at that time.

On the basis of the original division of the four major war zones in Northern Border County, a fifth war zone was added with Carmos?As well as the sixth war zone with the sleepless eye, the thieves' union and the big crow scouts as the backbone force, that is, the silent war zone opened in the second eastern county and focusing on gathering intelligence.The commander of the sixth war zone is the cunning and resourceful Babrupa, and because Li Wei felt that the power of this war zone was a little weak, he sent the shadow knight Alans Kate and his Griffin special operations team to strengthen it. .

Alans Kate also shouldered another important task, which was to monitor Babrupa as Levi's blood brother, so that this slick guy could use all his tricks and tricks in the most appropriate place.

Different from the activity of the latter two theaters, the original four theaters in Beijing County adopted a strategy of being tight outside and loose inside. Beacon towers with a height of more than ten meters have been built in the camps, and the safety report of the Earth Temple through the divine power transmission network has changed from once a week to once a day; The seeds of various crops of divine power, and strive to prepare for material reserves before the real war comes.

Only a few people understand that there is a seventh war zone, and it is the most critical one - the heart of the castle.

After the enthronement ceremony of King Fleischer I, some people who originally loved Levi Stern as the supreme leader of the kingdom changed the object of their love to Her Majesty the Queen. The sharp drop that Mr. once thought was much better.Moreover, as the comprehensive land reclamation has come to an end and the harvest season is approaching, the number of people who believe in the God of the Earth and the depth of their beliefs are also increasing day by day. The daily output of faith gems has not decreased but increased. After excluding daily consumption, it has reached [-] or so.

The abundant supply of belief energy makes the heart of the entire castle full of vitality. This vitality is not only due to the growing prosperity of the main human city that Levi often visits. On the other side of the world, after the huge obsidian volcano has received enough belief energy, Roaring non-stop, thousands of tons of magma and sulfur poisonous fire were thrown high into the sky, and then turned into hot obsidian blocks and crashed down.

A long river of flames meanders down from the crater, like a huge "one" character written in flames on the dark earth, densely packed demon crucibles are built on both sides of the river bank, groups of small The demons are playing and playing among them; the burning tower built by the fire-throwing monster with the bones of dead demons is more than ten meters high, and orange-red, yellow and black magic flames are gushing out from it; There were large strands of yellow-green poisonous smoke, and the scarlet body of the Horned Demon Warlord occasionally appeared in the smoke, but disappeared in the thick smoke in the blink of an eye.

If these can only be regarded as middle and low-level demons, at the end of the long river of flames, magma gathers together to form a bottomless giant lava lake. The lake was filled, and it could only stir up countless roaring huge flame vortexes in the middle of the lake.

A giant iron ball made up of thousands of pitch-black chains twisted and bound together floats above this vortex. At every moment, unfathomable magma flows under the iron ball, and then it spins and is sucked into the middle of the lake. In that bottomless void.Some tall and strong demons holding abyss beheading swords and wearing brass armor stood on this huge subway ball, raised their heads from time to time, and roared rebelliously towards the black cloud billowing sky.

Undoubtedly, from the excellent equipment of these demons and the heads of half ape and half hyena, one can clearly identify their race—the abyss refining demon—even among the demon nobles, they can be regarded as quite a powerful family .

Through this building called Blazing Hammer Ball, the abyss alchemist, whose strength is roughly equivalent to that of the human Lord with a Sword, has also become an alchemy creature that can be manufactured, but the cost of building this building is naturally not cheap. All the original power of darkness is consumed.These original forces form wisps of dark mist lingering on the hammer ball, even if the tongue of fire rising below licks it from time to time, it will not show any signs of weakening.

The carrying capacity of the Heart of the Castle has its limit. In other words, only when the power of light and the power of darkness reach a certain balance, can the demiplane where this city is located be able to survive stably.The completion of the high-level dark building Flame Hammer Ball is naturally related to the newly added light building in the Heart of the Castle.

The so-called bright building refers to the Holy City in the Clouds incarnated by Seraphim Rist Robinson.This sacred and solemn building is located above the dome of the sky, and the whole body is full of soft light of gold, silver, white and blue. The singing of solemn hymns floats from the gate of the holy city in the clouds, making people feel ashamed after hearing it A sense of peace and tranquility emerges from within.

However, due to its high rank, the construction speed of the holy city in the cloud is not very fast. This is still under the premise that a large amount of faith energy has been invested in it. All the gems were completely consumed, and even the daily increase these days was put into it after changing hands.

After nearly half a month of infusing the energy of faith, the sacred feeling emanating from the holy city in the cloud is increasing day by day. When the other two buildings - the monastery and the arena have been transformed into the Great Cathedral and the Knights' Temple , Mr. Dish finally announced with pride that the construction of the Holy City in the Clouds is about to be completed, and he cordially invited Li Wei and the blood alliance to come to watch the ceremony.

Seeing that the gate of heaven is gradually turning from illusion to reality, Levi Stern felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.Whether in religious classics or folklore, angels are servants of the gods, and they are also the hands of the gods who rescue believers from disasters. However, now, like those alchemy warriors, they will use the energy of faith to escape from the castle Made in the heart!This simply gave the young Griffin Lord a subtle feeling as if he was in a dream.

The voice of singing hymns suddenly rose, and countless soft and melodious voices shouted "Hallelujah, Hallelujah." Then the last trace of emptiness on the surface of the holy city in the cloud finally disappeared, and the gate was accompanied by a loud and clear sound. The horn sounded loudly, and Rist Robinson stepped out slowly wearing a plain white robe without decoration, the Holy Sword of Dawn was hung on his waist, and four white wings spread out behind him, each white feather There is a bright light like the golden morning sun.

Then four two-winged angels in the same attire walked out of the holy city in the clouds. They stretched their wings and landed in front of Li Wei. Before Li Wei could speak, they bowed deeply together and crossed their hands on their chests, " My lord, your faithful servant is here at your command."

Although Levi Stern has been in a high position for a long time and has experienced the grand scene of many knights swearing allegiance and people worshiping, when the five angels bowed together, the young Griffon Lord still felt a rush of blood in his chest.He tried his best to restrain his excitement, and told himself silently in his heart, "These are not real messengers of the gods, they are just high-level alchemy fighters in the heart of the castle." The Griffin Lord took a deep breath, and then knocked on his chest A reply ceremony. "Rist Robinson, from now on we can fight side by side."

"We will become the sharpest blade of light in the hands of our lord, leveling the thorns and eradicating the darkness on the way of our lord." Rist's tone of reply seemed a bit rigid, and the beautiful sky-blue eyes shone as if It is the cold light of inorganic matter.

This statement made the condemned knight standing beside Levi snorted dissatisfiedly, "The sharpest blade of light? Sweep out the darkness? Rist, you said it lightly, do you want to try to sweep away the darkness on my body?" ?” Sir Rodriguez raised his eyes with undisguised provocation.

It is indeed difficult for dark creatures and light creatures to coexist peacefully. Before Rist Robinson answered, the four angels standing behind him pulled out their long swords at the same time, and pointed their pale blades like milk glass at the Black Sun , The flame formed by the holy battle energy then burned on the blade, so dazzling that people could hardly look directly at it.

However, Sir Rodriguez seemed indifferent, and he didn't even take out the giant iron star sword behind his back, as if the one pointing the long sword at him was not four powerful angels, but a child holding a harmless toothpick .

"We don't need to fight each other, I am the blade of light, and you are the shadow of darkness that is indispensable to my lord Livi." Rist Robinson raised his hand to stop the fight, "Even in the golden Under the eternal light of the sun Flandara, there still floats the Kingdom of Eternal Night belonging to Ku Ximu, the leader of the Eternal Sleep. Light and shadow, light and darkness are originally two blades of the same long sword, and there is no distinction between who is strong and who is weak .”

"Are you avoiding failure, Seraph?" Sir Rodriguez said in a mocking tone.

"I just don't want unnecessary fights between us." Rist Robinson replied without even the slightest emotional fluctuation, and the four angels behind him put their swords back into their sheaths , There is neither anger nor fear on the face carved like white marble. "If you want to fight for the title of number one knight with your heart, then I will willingly admit defeat."

Sir Rodriguez raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to continue speaking, Mr. Dish took a step forward, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Old fellow Black Sun, save yourself some effort. If you only use fighting energy With the power of Tianhua, I am afraid it will be difficult to win against Seraph, who also has the peak fighting spirit of Tianhua, but if you want to use the fighting spirit of catastrophe..." The old magician shrugged helplessly, "I'm afraid it will take a while. Building the holy city in the clouds, the faith energy accumulated in the heart of the castle has bottomed out."

Sir Rodriguez opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Old Dish, I heard you right, you mean..."

Mr. Dish nodded, "That's right, as you can imagine, this period of time will be the most vulnerable time for the Heart of the Castle. The three buildings of the Holy City in the Cloud, the Great Cathedral and the Knights' Temple are completely stable. Before you come down, almost all the newly generated belief energy will be used to maintain the heart of the castle, and it cannot be used to create new high-level arms, nor can it provide you with the power of a legendary-level condemned knight."

"Mr. Dish, in your opinion, how long will this situation last?" Levi asked with a worried tone.

"Master Li Wei, this time will not be very long. According to my estimation, it should be able to stabilize after half a month. And because the four elements of the heart of the castle have already interacted with the two original forces of darkness and light. Fusion, at that time the energy required to maintain daily operations will be greatly reduced, and the number of faith gems produced every day should be more than [-]."

"That is to say, can six champion knights be produced every day?" Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, "As long as this period of time is passed, the military strength of Beijing County can rapidly expand, perhaps a dozen or twenty The Great Knight Commander is nothing, but if it can form a certain scale, even if it is an army of demons, it will never stop hundreds of champion knights from launching a group charge!"

"Not only that, Master Li Wei, I once said that the champion knight is the strongest unit that can be mass-produced in the Castle Heart, but that was before obtaining the two original forces of light and darkness. Now the Castle Heart has They acquired brand new powers—the angels of the holy city in the clouds, the cardinals of the great cathedral, and the holy knights of the knight temple, and their strength surpassed the champion knight in an all-round way."

Before Li Wei's face showed joy, Mr. Dish coughed again, and then added, "Of course, the power of faith required to create these new alchemy units has also greatly increased. A cardinal needs 120 A holy knight needs [-] gems of faith, and an angel needs [-] gems of faith."

"Five hundred gems of faith!" Li Wei couldn't help blurting out in surprise. He hadn't forgotten that just before going to the Moon Whispering Forest, the daily output of the Heart of the Castle had just reached [-] gems of faith. One angel is equivalent to the consumption of producing five champion knights, such a huge number can't help but make his face turn pale.

"But maybe the strength of one angel is completely equal to the strength of the five great knight commanders?" With this thought in mind, Levi opened the field of vision of the exploration technique, and turned to Rist Robinson and the angels behind him. look.

As soon as the light curtain of the ability data was opened, Li Wei was taken aback. Angel's strength is certainly good, but it is far lower than he imagined. Not to mention compared with the five great knight commanders, he can even deal with two champions at the same time. Cavaliers are hard to say.

Name: Angel

Race: Holy Spirit

Life: 200
Special Ability 1: Sacred Fighting Qi (Tianhua Early Stage) Special fighting energy that only the Holy Spirit can master, doubles damage to dark creatures and undead creatures, normal damage to evil creatures and magic creatures, damage to natural creatures and elemental creatures cut in half.

Special Ability 2: Blessing Halo, applies blessing to all creatures of the same camp within 20 meters of the center of itself, and increases the attack speed, defense ability and maximum damage of the blessed.

Strength: strong

Relationship: loyal

In contrast, the champion knight who once belonged to the top-level unit in the heart of the castle is not even much worse than the angel in terms of statistics.

Name: Champion Knight

Race: human

Life: 160
Special Ability 1: Glory Fighting Qi (Peak of Sanhua), the fighting spirit power possessed by a champion knight who is so brave and fears death.

Special Ability 2: Champion's Charge, launch an unchangeable charge attack on the enemy midway, all troops with charge ability will launch a group synergy effect under the guidance of Champion's Charge, the damage will increase according to the charge distance, up to double the power .There are distance and terrain restrictions on the launch conditions of Champion Charge. When the distance is too short (within 10 meters), the distance is too far (beyond 500 meters), or the terrain (such as cliffs, walls, swamps, shallows, etc.) does not allow the charge to be launched , the launch of Champion Charge automatically fails.

Strength: average

Relationship: loyal

"Mr. Dish, it seems that the angel is not much stronger than the champion knight?" Levi asked hesitantly, "but how can there be such a big gap in the energy of faith consumed between the two?"

"Because it is much more difficult to condense the body of the Holy Spirit out of thin air than relying on alchemy to create a human body." Mr. Dish twirled his white beard and replied with a smile, "and simply from the comparison of the two data, it is possible I can't tell, in the battle of the army, the role of the angel is much stronger than that of the champion knight, if it is used well, it can even have an effect that even a hundred champion knights can't do."

Li Wei was startled, then nodded in understanding.What Mr. Disch said was right. The group charge of the champion knights was indeed hard to resist, but when the angels representing the gods descended on the battlefield, the effect on their morale would be so strong that it could not be described in words.

"Rest Robinson," the Griffin Lord then turned to the Seraph standing beside him with a blank expression, and asked with concern in his voice, "The construction of the Holy City in the Clouds... I'm afraid it will take a lot of damage to your body. Is it big?"

"My lord Li Wei, the original power of light contained in my body has been used to build the holy city in the cloud. Unless this building gets enough faith energy to advance again, otherwise I will never be able to regain the original power of light .” Rist replied in a respectful and distant tone.

Levi sighed softly. He didn't sigh because of the decline of Rist's power, but he knew one thing clearly in his heart-until the soul was stored in the heart of the castle. Michelle Miri Before Miss Faith's resurrection, this seraphim will not show a cheerful smile like when he first met in North Orla.
