Pillars of Ita

The ear-piercing air defense sirens resounded through Ayn Brock.

Many people were walking out of the door without knowing it. Looking up, on the steel beam truss intertwined like a spider web, the running magic rail car had stopped at some point, and the huge mechanical arm was pushing them to one side. , suspended on another spare track.

The passengers on the car were evacuating through the emergency passage, arguing and reprimanding the expressionless silver-helmed knight in front of them, but the loud roar drowned out everyone's voices, and people turned their heads and looked at another track The last row of suspension gear is being transported rapidly on steel rails.

There are gray and white constructs hanging from those hooks, tall and heavy, with a giant shield behind them, and steel spears inserted under the giant shield.Some of them are breaking away. When the device is turned on, it rubs against the orbit and splashes a lot of sparks, and a brilliant blue wind blows out from the back of the construct, flying forward.

The two structures crashed to the ground, the latch behind them opened, and the giant shield automatically slid along the track to its arm, making a muffled sound.The battle craftsman in charge of the controls was so shocked that he pressed down the joystick connected to the magic glove, "4 groups of manticores are in place."

The large shield plunged into the ground with a bang, the hydraulic support column bounced off from behind the large shield, and was nailed into the ground, a piece of gravel flew, and the rolled up air flow went around between the feet of the tall construct, forming a vortex.

The cumbersome construction moved forward, raised the giant shield in his hand, and the communication with noise was intertwined in the channel, "The Manticore 1 group is in place."

"The Manticore 2 group is in place."

People looked up and watched the huge war machines pass the sky, dimming the light.

The patrolling cavalry came out in full force, but they were only responsible for dispersing the pedestrians on the street, followed by a group of heavily armored knights in gray armor, "War Knights," the residents of Eynbroek looked at these in surprise The knight with the eagle badge on his shoulders said, "The engineering corps stationed at Einbroek has been dispatched. Could it be that something really happened?"

But the war knights are not just the engineers of the Imperial Legion, they are also responsible for the main work of a battle, the construction of fortifications, and the defense of the fortress. It can be said that they are the most elite force except the Imperial Field Corps.

The Gray Knights built a defensive line, and the imperial soldiers in pitch-black armor immediately took over the barricades. The citizens looked at this strange legion through the windows, but the aura revealed by the other party was all elites in battle.

Every five-member team is equipped with a medium-sized 'Vaspa IV' to block the street with firepower, a large team is equipped with a Typhoon Knight, and the firepower team is equipped with 'Grey Shield' and 'Manticore', wearing the same black coat Combat artisans appear on the front lines with combat units, surrounded by soldiers.

The backbone technical officer with long feathers on his helmet is picking up the communication crystal and reporting:

"Allerdine Avenue is closed."

Numerous etheric messages are converging in the sky above Ainbulok:
"NO. 17th street is closed."

"The bellsmith sub-street is closed."

"Civilian areas are under surveillance."

The technical officer put down the communication crystal in his hand, looked back, and saw that there was chaos on King Aladdin's Avenue. The huge construct slowly moved forward, followed by the soldiers of the Imperial Army in black.

The citizens backed down one after another and looked at this scene with horrified eyes. Is this going to war again? With whom?
But if you expand your sight to the entire Einbroek, the blocks are spread out along the cobweb-like roads, and countless similar scenes are being staged. The war structures set up giant shields, blocking the streets, and the imperial black army is walking along different streets. Drive toward the city center.

Above their heads are countless staggered tracks, and a row of delivery devices is being transported to the front line along the established routes of this engineering fortress. This fortress built in the era of giant wars is waking up a little bit.

The city of steel was breathed with life.

The mobile artillery system is slowly moving out from under the cover, and the combat craftsmen are waving their hands on the rails, causing the astonishingly huge muzzle to turn to the direction of the airport amidst the sound of mechanical friction. They shouted the password, "1407, bearing 4, open Insurance - red alert."

The craftsmen put on the magic gloves and popped down the eyepieces.

More people are running out of the camp, rushing to their posts.

The sentinel raised his head, and then he saw a strange scene - in the direction opposite to the steel sky tower of the airport, where the artisan association is located, countless dots of light are rising into the sky, and they are all heading towards the No. [-] and No. [-] port areas. direction to fly.

The beacon light on the giant steel tower was turned on, and a series of empty light trails appeared in the sky. The warships of the Empire were slowly sailing out of the port area, leaving the port one by one, and connecting end to end in the sky, forming a battle queue.

"That's a battle craftsman!"

"The Imperial Fleet, the Imperial Fleet is also dispatched!"

Clover Avenue.

Bells rang loudly in the Adventurer's Guild, and the leaders of different mission areas were rushing through the crowd with anxious faces. They passed the counter and hung up the sign of "mission suspension" in front of the long line of empire callers. brand--

Under the stunned and dissatisfied gaze of the other party, all the missions handed over in the Adventurer's Guild were interrupted at the same time, and the light screen projected by the crystal was blood red—after a flash, rows of missions with the prefix "urgent" came from the light. The screen flows from top to bottom like a waterfall.

"Area mission!?"

"It's a regional mission, look, the war order!"

"The empire is at war. What's going on? How could there be war missions released on the Einbulok Plain?"

"Is the empire entering a state of total war?"

"Great, with whom?"

After a brief handover, a group of new staff appeared in front of the cabinet, and the selectors keenly noticed that the imperial soldiers in black armor blocked the various places.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the first batch of chosen ones who had received the mission had already scattered from the Clover Avenue, leaving with different missions, but most of those missions did not specify their mission objectives, and only required them to cooperate with the Empire. The army cordoned off the block.

Or catch criminals.

But the Chosen Ones have long been familiar with it.

At the same time, more than 30 live streams of the two channels that were broadcasting the mainland league were cut off at the same time, and all the live broadcast rooms became pitch black, and people looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Instead, a thought popped up in their hearts together - something big is going to happen.

The wandering horse watched the commotion in his live broadcast room, but his heart was uncontrollably quiet. He watched his spilled coffee flow down the edge of the table, and the water droplets flew along the smooth ground in a microgravity environment. The dust mixed together and swirled endlessly.

He suddenly remembered that he still had a few friends in the industry, and someone was currently interviewing Ain Brock for the competition. He hurriedly opened his personal terminal and dialed the communication number of one of them:

"Horse, the imperial army has blocked every block," the voice from over there was extremely noisy, but the human voice could still be heard clearly, "Now they don't allow any broadcasting, I don't want to lose this job, so you Forget it."

The man looked back and saw the tall war machine slowly driving past the block, "But I can tell you one thing, your friends fought with the Imperial Army, and they are at war with the Empire."

Did they fight the Imperial Army?

Are they at war with the Empire?
The wandering horse seems to be listening to some Arabian Nights - where is Ms. Ming?What about Princess Brianna, didn't they stop it?

……

Luo Yu and Laila stood facing each other.

There was already chaos on the arena. The crowd around the square of Rorschach Bedi College had already fled completely, and only the two warring parties were left. instruction.

There is no need for the middle-aged man to urge them, they also automatically form a human ring to surround the two people in the field, and attack with spells one after another, but the spells in their hands are all in the hands of the girl named 'Leila' It was completely wiped out.

Spells have no effect on her at all.

As long as any spell came within two or three feet of the girl, it would be automatically dispelled immediately. She swiped her hand, and the spell form of the spell immediately appeared in her hand, and then appeared in Luo Yu's hand again the next moment.

The other party threw it back casually, which was enough to make them panic. Laila's eyes shone brightly. Isn't that exactly what she hoped for? Master of all spells—

The weak body and soul of human beings make them unable to adapt to the storm of the elemental world.

But there are people who are born for this.

Goblins have souls as pure as elements.

And the girl's soul itself is the core of the element.

She doesn't even need to understand the spells themselves, as long as Luo Yu understands the spells, they will naturally share them with her through Star Trail;

She also doesn't need to manipulate the ether, because the confluence of magic power is closely connected to her elemental core through the magic gloves of the elementalist, and the powerful non-attribute magic furnace is continuously sending ether to the two of them.

Just like the battle craftsman, with his spell dolls.

And the spell-breaking method that people master is related to the school he has practiced, and it is a well-known common sense in an Atalia that a person usually cannot practice more than three schools of spells, and this cannot include more than one opposing schools of thought.

But Luo Yu and Leila can switch opposing schools at any time.

After Luo Yu started using conjuring spells, the girl naturally switched to the School of Prophecy. When Luo Yu used the water element evocation spell, Laila cast the earth and air spells in one hand, and when she cast the air spells in turn.

So he shared the ability of fire spells with Luo Yu.

Therefore, in such a situation, the wizard has the ability to cast all elemental spells, and also has the ability to solve spells of all schools.

Moreover, Luo Yu discovered that because Laila was a spell container, she knew the core of spells very well, and was extremely proficient in breaking spells.In the end, he simply handed over the protection work to the girl, and he was only attacking but not defending.

Then there was the scene that the warlocks of the Tower of Star and Moon had seen.

"Undo the curse," cried the warlocks in a panic, "dispel his spells and slow their movements with Slow!"

But Luo Yu hid a magic gesture of the fiery snake's teeth under the wind blade, causing two or three warlocks from the Tower of Stars and Moon to break the curse and relieve the air. He tapped his hand, and a fiery snake sprang out from his hand , opened his mouth to bite one of the warlocks.

And before the opponent's slow spell was thrown, it was already countered by Lila at the side. Before the blue spell was formed and descended on the top of the two of them, it was hit by a ray and collapsed.

The sorcerer let out a shrill scream, and was caught upright by the fire snake.

The others also had no intention of fighting, and retreated one after another. Someone used a wind blade and a fire arrow, but they were countered one by one. Luo Yu threw back a petrification and a wind blade, and mixed a stone shooting technique into the wind. The flying sand of the blade goes under the stone.

Soon there was a scream, and another person fell down.

Seeing this scene, the mentor of the Magic Academy next to him was devastated, and was so frightened that he dropped the magic wand in his hand, turned around and fled.

Luo Yu kept talking, raised his magic staff and raised a wave of tides, huge waves formed giant whales and rushed towards them, rushing all the mages and arcane guards upside down, those people retreated again and again, but suddenly they stepped into the muddy water sink down.

"Tosa Swamp Technique!"

The mages struggling in the muddy water were frightened out of their wits, and when did the other party mix such a spell, but someone immediately let out a scream, raised his hands, the palms were bloody, "Ah, there are ice picks under the mud !"

Looking at this scene, Laila's heart pounded, "Mr. Luo Yu."

"concentrate."

Luo Yu struck down the magic wand in his hand, a ripple spread along the muddy water, and said without looking back.

The girl looked at him and nodded seriously. This is the power of magic, the power that the great wizard, her father, was after.

Those warlocks were nothing in comparison.

But she was wrong to blame those people.

How many battles have these wizards who were born in the ivory tower participated in?

Different from the wizards of the Chosen Ones, people who have experienced Luo Yu are even more different. From Alpaxin to the southern border, to Istonia, and to the northern border, which battle is most important to them? Not a battle of life and death?
Those battles are even far beyond the cognition of ordinary summoners.

Even super-competitive games are sometimes far less cruel.

The first time most of the Chosen saw such a battle, it dates back to the Battle of Byrne, but that was almost 15 years ago, Scarpe, Quelod and the other Chosen retired one by one After that, the new generation of selectors' understanding of war often originated from the second world.

But there are very few people in the First World who can experience such a war.

With only a little advice from Luo Yu, Hai En and his party easily reached the final stage under the leadership of Brita, but in fact, those were just scratches.

Competitions don't use many ruthless spells, and college students often don't need such methods.

But this moment is different.

Lightning rose along the muddy water, and many people were burnt into coke in the mud. The arcane guards who came from the outside looked at this scene, and looked at the two standing in the field, Laila and Luo Yu, and were shocked for a moment. stop.

Except for the seven or eight warlock elites from the Star and Moon Tower left on the field, the others have already escaped cleanly, and farther away are the guards of the Rorschach Bedi Academy, the council Guardian of the Arcane.

Hundreds of people hesitated to move forward, not daring to get close for a moment.

People couldn't help but look in one direction, hoping that the two big figures there would make a move—in fact, there had been no news from that side since before.

The great wizard of the Hawk family and the woman named Xenia seemed to have disappeared.

……

At the moment when the turmoil happened, Hein and the others who were still on the side of the field realized that something was wrong.

There were a few exclamations from the crowd, and then many people gathered in that direction, as if something important happened on the other side of the square.

Hai En and the others were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help standing up and looking in that direction, and then saw the bright magic brilliance - he frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and grabbed a person and asked:
"What happened over there?"

The college student who was asked was from the Astrology Academy like them, and he replied without any discomfort: "I heard that something happened over there."

"Why, what happened?"

"A college student seems to be a fugitive. The warlocks from the council have come to arrest him."

"College student, which college do you belong to?"

"I heard it's from our Astrology Academy. By the way, it's the liar from the Holfen School."

Hai En's complexion changed drastically—at this time there was a loud noise from a distance, and the flames of the explosion rose up—the crowd was in chaos, and the flow of people who had gathered in that direction at first immediately reversed, and many people began to run away.

But he and the others looked at each other, "We have to help Laila!" Which one of the people left was gutless?The young people quickly reached an agreement, but before Hai En could move, he bumped into someone head-on.

"Hold this kid."

A voice came, and he stretched out his hand to grab the 'wall' blocking him, and pressed Hein firmly.

Hein was taken aback, and raised his head, only to find that he was being held by a guy who looked like a guard.

Not far away, Warren Fuller, the puppet speaker of the Star and Moon Council, was watching them behind the man and shaking his head at them.

"You traitor!" Hein didn't care about anything at this time, and shouted at the other party, "What do you want to do to Laila?"

But Warren didn't answer him.

He only said to his guards: "Take these boys out of this place, and they are not allowed to come back without my order."

Only then did he look at the others, "...this is not the place for you, boys... As for Laila, I will find a way to get her out..."

Hayne was taken aback.

He looked at this person with extremely suspicious eyes, "What are you talking about, you think we are fools?"

But the speaker didn't intend to explain more to him, he just waved to his guard, motioning for him to take someone away.

……

At the same time, what people don't know is that the great wizard of Hawke's family is in a state of desperation at the moment.

Beside him, Xenia's knuckles were also white, one after another large spells were cast from the magic wand in her hand, and the rolled fire dragon and lightning almost formed a barrier.

But all those spells were involved in a strange space, they seemed to be struggling in vain in a dream, listening to the calm and pleasant voice telling them the ancient story:

"Let the forests part, they say."

The tall roots rolled up from the ground, turned up the mud, and came towards the two menacingly.

Limbs and backbones were formed under the roots, and flesh and blood were formed from the rocks. The gray-white treant rose from the ground, forming a giant shadow that covered the sky and the sun, and slapped the two of them with a slap and a claw.

The wizard of the Hawk family couldn't even open his own magic book, so he could only call out his own magic wand, set up a shield, and the giant's paw patted on the shield, and the shield flashed, making half The entire academy was shaken.

A wave of mud rolled around the shield, turning the fleeing crowd upside down. The crowd screamed, a scene of chaos in the world.

But Ksenia didn't care about these people. She raised two fingers together, shot a fire bird from her fingers and flew towards the tree man, and shouted sharply:
"Flame of the Phoenix!"

At first it was just a wisp of flame, but in an instant it turned into a crimson cloud of fire, like a giant bird fluttering across half of the academy—seven ring spells, many people felt their hair stand on end, and heat waves swept over their heads , so that the mud dries up and cracks into lines.

But it was just a delicate beauty who was facing the menacing phoenix. She was wearing the pointed wizard hat, pushed the small glasses on the bridge of her nose, raised her head, and watched the scene.

The appearance under the wizard's hat is very similar to Miss Scholar at this moment, but more mature, with extraordinary splendor in her eyes, and her appearance is alluring.

She raised her walking stick in her hand and hit the book:
"Respectfully, Forbidden Technique."

"Shorin roars."

A dim light appeared on the tip of her staff.

At that moment, everyone in Robeshardy Academy felt that the sky was dark, as if the whole world was divided into two, half of the world extended infinitely, while the other half of the world collapsed into a single point.

The light curtain passed, centered on the staff in the hand of the witch, a ray of brilliance cut through the earth in an instant, and the white light swallowed everything. People only saw it extending from a point in the pupil, from the middle line of Rorschach Bedi College. Divide the entire academy into two.

The light completely engulfed the great wizard of the Hawk family before he had time to react, and the magic book in the opponent's hand fell to the ground, and disappeared in a twisted space after tumbling for a few weeks.

Then the white starlight representing the great mage flew away, rose slowly, and merged into the sanctuary in the center of the academy.

On the other side, Xenia was only slightly better than the former, but she was also missing an arm. She pressed one hand on the bleeding wound, opened a space door without saying a word, stepped back and disappeared immediately.

Just before breaking through the door, she cast a resentful glance at the sorceress in front of her, as if she wanted to remember her deeply.

"Who are you?"

"I have never heard of such a 'saint' as you in Osu."

"Me? I... am the Dragon Mage."

"Dragon Sorcerer?"

"I remember you."

"I-we-remember-you-."

The confrontation between the two in the conscious world was completed in an instant. The female wizard looked at the dissipated space door, thoughtfully raised her hands and patted her cheeks, her face was slightly hot.

She just turned around and looked at other people on the field, mages, college students, and arcane guards. She looked past these people and looked in the direction of Luo Yu and Laila.Wherever her gaze swept, everyone subconsciously took three steps back.

The witch raised her staff for the second time.

Seeing this scene, everyone's face changed drastically, and someone yelled, so people rushed to flee the place in panic.

But the witch didn't care about those people, she just looked at Luo Yu and Lila who were fighting with the warlocks of the Tower of Star and Moon from a distance, then raised her walking stick in her hand, and only lightly tapped on the title page of the magic book :
"Next, send the person who should go to leave here."

She opened her mouth softly, and suddenly the wind and clouds in the sky changed color, as if an eye was appearing there, watching everything from the clouds.

"Karl Layer, make the future I see come true."

"Open the door, it said."

The space twisted, forming a gloomy storm behind her, and the lightning intertwined, as if it was about to tear something apart.

At that moment, the storm in the sea of ​​light caused all the mages to stop their hands, even Luo Yu dispersed the spell in his hand and looked in this direction.

However, they only saw three cracks opening in mid-air, followed by a deep and chaotic space storm. At that moment, the turbulent flow of time and space seemed to disrupt all the order around Rorschabadi College.

People see the trees withered, the fallen leaves withered, and everything around them seems to have experienced the change of time, but the grass and trees take root again, grow tall quickly, and the seasons change, as if completed in an instant.

Watching this scene, the warlock elites of Tower of Star and Moon only felt their scalps go numb.

"Super ring spell—!"

People screamed.

The female wizard just watched the scene quietly, and pointed down the traveling staff in her hand.

The first door opened above the heads of Luo Yu and Laila, it sank downward, and in an instant the two young men on the field disappeared without a trace.

The second door opened beside Yayo who was hiding not far away. Before the young man who was hiding there understood what happened, an invisible force pulled him in.

The third door opened behind the female wizard, and her eyes stayed here for the last time, and then she took a step back, and her figure disappeared in the door.

After that, all the lightning and thunder turned into invisible, and the sky cleared again, and all the illusions that had just occurred seemed to disappear, as if they had never happened.Only the ready-made people were left, and the warlocks of the Star-Moon Tower looked at each other and each other.

Looking at the mess not far away, and only half of the broken wall of the Rorschach Bedi Academy of Arcane Arts remained.

"So what exactly happened?"

The warlock who took the lead couldn't help asking loudly:

"What happened just now!?"

No one could answer his question.
