Pillars of Ita

Chapter 985 Chapter 310 Scene [-] I'm going to speed up, imperial people
The setting sun, with its last rays, was sinking below the horizon.Tisong stared at the crystal tower standing high in the jungle. The surface of the crystal was reflected against the clouds like fire, and the surface was glowing with magnificent luster. Everything seemed to be in a real world.

Turning around at last, she couldn't help but ask, "Ron, is it really worth it for us?"

"Generally, five teams will advance to the next round," the young man replied without a trace of personal emotion.Ron looked in that direction and said, "But among the total of fifty places, the Imperials only account for two-thirds of them at most. Every time we eliminate one more team, we have one more chance."

More than a dozen steel cables were connected to the upper end of the crystal and pulled it up. Several working structures were almost sunk in the mud pit, and the magic motor driving the joints was also smoking.Finally, the crystal made a loud bang and embedded itself in the base.

The person on the other side let go and sat down panting.

"But I'm worried—" Tisson said, watching the scene from a distance.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch," Ron interrupted her. "This is the price we paid. The Imperials won't take us into the car for no reason, let alone our team."

He turned around, "We are supporting roles, indeed, but on the other hand, we will slow down the progress, so that it will be easier to free up our hands to deal with the first wave of attacks after nightfall."

"Why Empire?"

"Because the Imperials are stronger." Ron asked himself and answered.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared into the sky, and the forest fell into darkness.But the light blue night was still full of stars, and a beautiful Milky Way ran across the gap above the tree canopy.

The young man looked up at the starry sky, "Let the Imperials worry about the rest, this is a reasonable deal for us."

……

Juno saw the communication crystal on his chest light up.

He took it down, and stared at the red glow inside through the afterglow of the setting sun.

The last ray of light in the forest has disappeared.

In the dark forest, everyone in the team is taking out the communication crystal. The red light flickering on the crystal is on and off, just like breathing.

"Communication established."

Juno typed: "The coordinates are A44."

At the same time, almost the same information was passed to the sponsor's backstage.Geros was still immersed in the shock just now, but his strong professionalism finally brought him back to his senses.

He glanced at the message and said: "The participating teams of the Silver Chain Islands built the first crystal tower, but their choice is a bit weird. Who are they going to contact? They wasted too much time on this crystal tower."

"Of course, they can rely on the crystal tower to defend after dark, but this greatly slows down the progress. They waste at least one afternoon, which will make them far behind other teams in the progress of the second day. They Why did you choose to build a crystal tower in the first place?"

Eight hours passed in the sea of ​​trees.

Three hours have passed outside the arena, and noon has passed.The sun in Abpenand became more intense, and the arena was silent, most of the people were holding their breath.

The sea of ​​trees is falling into the night.

But another new message interrupted Gerald's words, and the assistant nudged him, "Jack, look at this."

"Oh, wait..." Geralds reacted, "The participating teams of the Silver Chain Islands have opened up the Ethernet network to the outside world. Let me see who it is, the Imperials. I understand, this is an alliance—"

Geros immediately paid attention to the movement towards the empire, "If this crystal tower is built on this alliance, then things will become interesting."

He looked at Juno's movements in the screen—this had already happened, but was being specially cut out by the broadcasting team.

A map appeared in front of him, on which the positions of the various teams were accurately marked.

If the entire sea of ​​trees is a circular valley with the three towers as the center, then the imperials are located in the northwest of this place, next to it are the Ai Yin Brock Craftsman Association and a selected team——Shuo Jinzhi blade.

The Artisans Association of Grande is located southwest of the center, separated from the Imperials. Rotao's main team - the artisan delegation of Miluo Temple.

On its southeast side is the Hanruina artisan delegation, a team from the open sea.Then came the Silver Chain Island, the White Tree Society, Ravendure and the Sanshak artisan delegation lined up.

Further north, there are Kapuka and the ancient tower delegation, which were born almost opposite the main tower of the Koolin people on both sides of the main tower, separated by a natural barrier, and then the Taxin singers—another team selected to come up.

And, Pillars of Stars.

At this point, the fourteen teams were neatly distributed into an equal ring, starting from the Imperial Workshop and ending with the Shujin Blade, dividing the Sea of ​​Trees Valley into fourteen equal parts.

At this moment, the fourteen light spots on the screen are moving independently, some are progressing quickly, some are progressing slowly, and others have stopped and waited for nightfall.

But others, converging—

"Imperial Workshop contacted their second and third regiments through the first network established here. As we said before, they are very lucky, and the Ainbrok delegation is nearby."

"Then the adventure of the Imperials is no longer an adventure, but an extremely bold tactical deployment. Let us see the preparations of the Ainbrok Artisan Association—"

"Sure enough, their choice is the same as that of the Imperial Workshop. They directly assembled the flexible structure and prepared for battle."

Geros took a light breath, "The Imperials are bound to win the first mechanical tower. If they really complete the confluence at the earliest, then this will no longer be an impossible challenge..."

"Besides, they also completed the construction of the crystal tower through the players from Silver Chain Island, which is another advantage. Their advantage is already very obvious," Jelos said in a deep, contagious voice, "He Zong, even Horizontal, even reversal, this is also part of the game—”

The coordinates are A44.

A concise message.

It is passing through the etheric veins and through the communication crystals to each other.

From Ayn Brock to the birth location of the Ravendur Artisan Guild, in the dark forest, flashing red lights are lighting up one by one.

Rogael from the Einbrok Artisan Association was looking at the words that lit up on the screen one by one, then he covered the communication crystal with his backhand and looked at the others.

"Everyone, let's go—"

Gerald watched the scene silently.

And his assistant seized the gap at the side and introduced to everyone: "In fact, the Spire Trial does not prohibit the various teams from joining each other. Its specific rules are as follows..."

It is a detailed specification that is many pages long. Its earliest prototype was not born at this moment, but appeared in other events much earlier in history.

In those similar sports, people have long been familiar with it.

Therefore, the assistant only gave a rough introduction. The rules allow teams from different regions to play games at the tactical level, but in the final analysis, it is to win the game.

"The essence of alliance is a tactical game," Wandering Maer also introduced to others in his live broadcast room, "so the content of cooperation must also be completed within the game."

"Essentially everyone's goal is to win the only victory, so the content of cooperation cannot be ruled out in the end," he said, "The difference between cooperation and match-fixing lies in the fact that factors other than the competition cannot be substituted— —”

"The main guarantee of its fairness comes from Ms. Marland," said the wandering horse while flipping through the thick rules, "so you can rest assured that Ms. Fairness controls the field of competition and competition. All agreements must be completed under her watch—"

He couldn't help shaking his head.

When the seriousness of the super sports league was irreplaceable earlier, this sentence was completely redundant, but since the frequent scandals in these years, the audience has even more trust in the gods from another world.

This is ironic enough.

But it's good, at least fairness is guaranteed.

He looked into the screen.

The time in the tree sea world and the real time are almost four to one. Outside the porthole, the morning and evening line on the huge planet has just passed over France, and the entire British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula are still shrouded in darkness. middle.

The Atlantic Ocean in North Africa is dotted with dots of lights.

The time on the space station has just passed 8.00:[-] (UTC/GMT +[-]).

The sun was shining on Abpenand.

In the sea of ​​trees, there is already a quiet, peaceful world, the branches and leaves cover the insects, the moon sea rises, and a silvery glow sprinkles on the forest canopy.

Fang Plover stared at the crystal tower erected under the moonlight, without so many violent movements, it seemed to erect quietly, growing out of the forest.

Many twinkling lights connect this crystal tower.

After the faint light faded, the metal pipes connected below and the base were formed one by one. The crystal absorbed the ether veins in the earth, and a beam of light rose from above.

Fang Plover took back the magic gloves.

The communication crystal on the chest and Luo Wei's hand lit up at the same time.

The communication is established, and the next step is to contact Kapuka and the people of the Guta Artisan Association, and to report a letter to Weiyu and others who stayed behind.

Fang Yan turned back and said to his senior sister, "Sister Luo Wei, do you plan to stay in this place or continue to move forward with me. I recommend you to come with me. Fairy dolls can further extend their control distance through crystal towers. It's not safe to stay here alone."

"I'm with you, Ed."

"Then please senior sister contact other people while walking."

Luo Wei nodded.

Only then did Fang Plover withdraw his gaze from the crystal tower, and he looked to the north, where a pitch-black, slender tower stood above the forest.

Farther away, there were occasional flashes of fire in the forest, where other participating teams should have fought with the mechanical creatures here. After nightfall, the tower began to expand.

Forests are becoming dangerous.

"The Koolin also built their crystal tower," Geros also noticed this scene, and he was a little silent.Because the technique of this dragon alchemist is so unpretentious——

In fact, the opponent built this crystal tower by himself in less than half an hour.

Even if Gerald wanted to intervene, he didn't know where to cut in for a while, because everything was ordinary, and it took more effort than the two of them coming from other places.

It's as if he came here, raised his hand, and the crystal tower appeared.

The goblin envoys in the opponent's team didn't even help.

Geros recalled the difficult process for the players of Silver Chain Island to build the crystal tower. They also experienced a battle in the middle, and it took a full afternoon to barely build the spire.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

Should the Dragon Alchemist be praised for being too fast?

But does this still need him to say?Normal people are watching this game with their knees, and they should be able to see something at this moment.

But Geros continued instinctively, "Ed and Luo Wei left this crystal tower and moved on,"

The assistant on the side couldn't help but interjected, "Aren't they going to leave one person to protect this crystal tower?"

Geros couldn't help but look at the young assistant.

"Is this necessary?" He shook his head with a wry smile, "The cost of keeping the manpower to protect this crystal tower is better than him raising his hand and building another one."

After saying this, Geros was also a little speechless.

The two couldn't help looking at each other without saying a word.

But because of this, the atmosphere on the field seems to be becoming special.

On the one hand, the aggressiveness of the Imperials, and the united Ossurians seem to be shaping an invisible big net in this arena, which is a strength they have rarely shown in previous games.

The Imperials are showing a must-win mentality for this game.

On the other side is the one in front of him.

"Where did the Corin find this guy..."

Geros couldn't help muttering that his professionalism itself would not allow him to make such a mistake, but at this moment, no one actually accused the main commentator on the field.

Because this is the voice of almost everyone present.

But professionals are professionals after all, and Geros quickly realized that he might be about to see a battle between dragons and tigers, "But the Imperials have already reached the mechanical tower one step ahead—"

He has been paying attention to the other side, and only then opened his mouth to analyze.

The progress of the empire is very fast, and the strength of Gemini is not weak. Although the first-order flexible structures they made only used the limited resources at hand, half of the four structures are all variants.

There are some that the audience has never seen, and they seem to be secret designs that only belong to the Sacramental Guild or the Grayland Guild.

But in such a league, it can often have a miraculous effect. The Grand Guild often has such a technical reserve, and the club behind it strictly guards the secret of technology for this reason.

Fang Plover didn't have this need, and it was also because he was not born in the Grand Council, so he was free.

Several craftsmen in the Imperial Workshop are using their own flexible structures almost regardless of losses. The defensive force of the first mechanical tower is not strong, and there are only about twenty or thirty mechanical life forms on the periphery.

Although they have an absolute advantage in number, they are far inferior to craftsmen in terms of intelligence, and the command of the minaret is no more than that.

The Imperials used tricks to lure them out one by one, slamming east and west, and cleaned up the outer mechanical bodies in two hours.

At this time, they also lost the last flexible structure at hand, including the supplementary parts recovered from the wreckage, and invested nearly a dozen flexible structures in the battle.

If there is no more reinforcements, they can only stop tonight, or even withdraw from the surveillance range of the minaret, and go back to a further place to replenish and establish an advanced base.

Back and forth, at least one day is wasted.

However, the Crystal Tower established on Silver Chain Island played a role. An hour later, the Einbrok Artisan Association arrived, and they had almost the same number of constructs as the Imperial Workshop.

In addition, the Ayinbulok people were attacked several times during their previous experience of traversing the secluded forest, and obtained a batch of new constructs through recycling.

Adding the two together, it seems that it is only a matter of time to break into the mechanical tower——

But even so, the imperial people still spent most of the day's effort.

It took nearly three hours just to see the saw repeatedly in the mechanical tower, and there was even a long period of time when the two teams alternated back and forth without any progress——

The refreshment speed of the constructed creatures in the mechanical tower was too fast. In the end, the imperials destroyed the mechanical furnace inside in a near-suicidal manner.

At the cost of almost losing one person, this mechanical tower was taken down.

"On the first day, at 22:[-], [-] seconds, a new record was born," Geros recorded the time, "Imperial Workshop won the first mechanical tower, which should be the first time in previous competitions. "

"Of course, we should be grateful for technological progress," he said, "but the imperial people's own meticulous and bold plans are also inseparable from it. If any link between Silver Chain Island and the Iron Bullock Artisan Association is missing, it is impossible to do this. .”

"Perhaps luck is also a big factor," said the assistant at the side. "The probability of two out of fourteen teams being together is actually not high. The Imperials should also have a gambling element in it."

"you're right."

Geros responded, but it was only to cooperate with his partner.He silently looked at the other overseas teams that had been silent all this time, and had some guesses in his heart.

Imperials are not the only ones in the crystal network established by Silver Chain Island.

As a commentator with many years of rich experience, he already faintly smelled the breath of a big war.

"The Einbrok Artisan Association lost a manpower," the assistant said again, "but it should be worth it in the eyes of the imperial people."

"Indeed," Geralds nodded, "Injured players may lose combat power for three days, but the advantage of the first mechanical tower is enough to make up for it—"

"The Imperials have already distributed the spoils," the assistant said. "They are so lucky. They got the soul of the goblin from the first crystal tower, as well as a secondary mechanical artifact."

"Let me see, it's No. 65, Taffey Ronal," Geros praised, "It's not bad, the imperial people's desperate gamble has been more than half successful. It should be Luo from the Einbrok Craftsman Association. Gail got this goblin soul, and the Empire Workshop picked up some blueprints and materials."

"It seems that they left the secondary mechanical artifact to other teams. The joint nature in the competition is equal, but the contribution of Silver Chain Island should not be enough to win this secondary mechanical artifact..."

He looked at the actions of the imperial people, "Maybe the imperial people have other considerations, but they put away their things and are ready to go. As expected, the imperial people have the idea of ​​supporting war with war."

"They set off for the next mechanical tower," the assistant couldn't help but said, "The next mechanical tower is the 79A spire, which is the same level as this mechanical tower, and it's only two hours away from here."

The two looked at each other.

The Imperials are deliberately speeding up the game, which is interesting.

This is an unprecedented speed in previous continental leagues. If other teams can't keep up with the pace of the Imperials, they might be left behind by a big gap.

So what about the other parties?
Geros actually had several answers in his mind, but for some reason, he looked at one of the pictures first by accident.

Then he saw that in the sea of ​​trees, Fang Plover and Luo Wei had walked out of the dense forest.At this moment, the dark and thin tower was appearing in front of the two of them.

Rationality told Geros that the Corinthians should only come to investigate. The two of them, even if there is a goblin envoy among them, it is almost impossible to attack a complete spire.

But out of his commentary instinct, Geros still mentioned, "The Colins have also arrived at the first mechanical tower, it's [-]:[-] in the morning, let's see what Contestant Ed and Contestant Luo Wei are going to do .”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Fang Plover stop and stretch out his hand forward.

A flickering starlight was emerging from the forest—it rose like a meteor without any hesitation, and smashed straight towards the high tower.

'Clap' sound.

The terminal device in Geros' hand fell involuntarily and fell to the ground.

……

　I changed it a few times, and I wrote it a little late. In short, I didn’t ask for leave, but I did.
