Pillars of Ita

Chapter 996 Chapter 320 Seventh Scene Undercurrent
Juno's snow-white, slender hands were poking into the intertwined cables, slightly closing his fingertips to hold up the polyhedron cylindrical device, gently pulling it out of the cables, and then holding it high in front of him. lift.

As if holding a rare treasure so focused, so careful.

He stared at the device, Ai Green's eyes were concentrated, as if staring at a brand new world for so long, and finally a slight smile appeared in his eyes.He put it down gently and looked at the others:
"Execute the plan."

They can no longer use other things, so they will be handed over to Silver Chain Island, Hanruina, Taxin Singer and Shujin Blade, and even the people from Ayn Bullock and Ravendur Craftsmen Guild .

Go ahead and execute the plan.

Open the curtain for a new world.

The stray horse rubbed the long messy hair on his forehead, poured a whole pot of coffee, put the empty cup by his hand, and still yawned lightly.

He raised his eyes, and his soft gaze was still staring at the front of the screen. Staying up all night was nothing to him, but the real challenge had just begun, and every minute and every second that followed would determine the direction of the game .

Geralds is sitting down on the main stage, looking radiant.He had just finished his shift with his colleagues, and he made a joke that was neither serious nor serious. He picked up the pen, looked at the game record from the day before, and frowned unknowingly.

The assistant pushed the door open and entered, looking at the white papers scattered all over the live broadcast room.The young man couldn't help asking curiously: "I heard that yesterday's game went very fast."

"Yeah, very soon." Geros nodded lightly holding a stack of records, feeling like returning to the last day of the last competition in a trance, "Three teams are close to the core area."

"So much faster than expected, I thought it would take at least five days?" The assistant was a little surprised, "The last trial of the Twin Towers took half a month, but the Sea of ​​Trees took a full seven days."

"Longer time ahead," Geros looked at the time, "There are still 5 minutes to start the live broadcast, come and sit down."

The assistant hurried over.

The projection crystal was emitting a dim light, and the figures of the two appeared on the main stage.

In Abpenand's arena, the audience has changed from one crop to another.

Near the morning, the distinguished guests in the tall boxes began to enter the venue one by one. Except for the most loyal fans of alchemy among them, the nobles of the empire certainly would not stay up late here.

The guests in the box were greeting each other softly. They occasionally looked at the pictures in the arena, and the topic became a discussion about the delegations of the empire.The ladies chuckled and commented on the two young men in the Imperial Workshop.

"Although Mr. Juno is a caller, he is quite personable."

"Georgiffin is just like them all, as always."

"What do you think the empire will do this year?"

"What else can I do? Of course, a toast to His Majesty the Emperor."

"The Colin people have performed exceptionally well in the past two terms."

"So what, it's not some rough stranger."

"I think that child is quite cute. Do you want to meet him?"

"How do you see me?"

"Let my uncle arrange it."

The flickering light spots on the map are approaching the central area of ​​the sea of ​​trees. Mining areas and advance bases are being built at an accelerated pace, and a steady stream of constructs and magic devices are being sent to the front line. The meaning of the war is getting stronger and stronger.

After experiencing the three minarets, the imperials finally got the core of the gestalt they dreamed of. They began to turn to the central area. Behind the black wall, the fourth tower was within easy reach.

On the other side, the action trajectory of the Colin people is more like a slanted sword.

Like a monster sword slanted across the edge of the central area, after taking down the three minarets, it crossed the Hanrui people, the Silver Chain Island, the White Tree Society and the Ravendur people from the inside of the barrier area. sector.

That flickering spot of light was already a short distance away from the ancient tower people under people's gaze.

The leader of the Mimenos Craftsman's Guild and the current genius craftsman of the White Tree Society, Time Walker, is watching the picture returning from his clockwork goblin, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"We're one step too late, they've already crossed."

Kula was silent.

The young man who had fought Fang Plover this month only stared at the gradually darkening twilight and the forest with a silent gaze.

"Why, you have no idea at all?" Time Traveler asked, "Our progress is not slow, they are eager to reconcile with their own people, it is impossible to waste too much time here, and now is their weakest time. "

Kura looked back at him, "Do you really think the imperial people will be at ease?"

"Of course I'm not that stupid," Time Traveler shook his head. "But I just wanted to vent my anger. Do you really think we can deal with the Imperials? Forin is probably not our opponent, but we use the hands of the Imperials to deal with him." I don’t think it’s a big problem for the Luotao people and the Kaolin people.”

"Without those people, what threat will the teams that have been selected from the audition pose? They have signed a covenant with the imperials, but the imperials will not fight for them. They have better resources, but this time In the final analysis, the competition still depends on one's own level."

Kula shook his head, "But it's too late for you to say this, they have already left."

Time Traveler kicked a piece of dead wood angrily. This is what made him feel depressed. The Colin people crossed the F area, and they approached each other from the D area, but in the end they were not as fast as the other party.

What the hell are those Collins up to.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him, "What is that?" Someone asked, pointing to the dark night sky.A buzzing sound was coming from above the head, and Time Traveler's face changed and he looked up.

Several huge airships were spinning their propellers and flying over their heads. Time Traveler looked at this scene in surprise, "That's an airship from the Imperials, why is it in this place?"

His expression suddenly changed, "Ravendur."

There was a rustling sound like a tide in the forest, and a fire suddenly lit up in the distance. The goblin in the team changed his face and raised his head and shouted to everyone, "NO. The body was attacked."

In fact, everyone had already seen the attacker's appearance clearly at this time. Those things had sharp claws and covered with a pitch-black shell, like a spider the size of a water basin, crawling forward with a small sound.

In the darkness, their sensing elements were emitting a creepy red light. Because there were so many of them, they almost covered the forest floor. From a distance, they looked like a sea of ​​red light.

A black tide.

The first impression of those constructs is that of psionic constructs, but after a closer look, they are found to be quite different from the spire machinery. They still retain a strong imperial style, but they are not in line with the traditional imperial construct series. Very different.

"What the hell is this!?" The faces of the people changed, "The structure of the imperial people?"

But Time Traveler's complexion was particularly ugly.

He had already cast his clockwork elf and saw an even weirder picture, the silver elf doll of the imperials was floating in the forest, driving this tide-like construct to close them.

The streams of silver ether light all indicate that those strange constructs are controlled by them, but the problem is——

How come there are so many?

Where did the imperial people find the soul of the goblin, which can control so many flexible structures. There are probably tens of thousands of structures scattered throughout the forest like mountains and seas.

That has simply exceeded the limit of the imagination of everyone in the White Tree Society.

Time Traveler looked at those dark constructs. He himself is an outstanding construct craftsman. He has a natural sensitivity and feels that the secrets of multiple control of the fairy dolls of the imperial people may be related to these constructs.

But he has no time to confirm further.

"Launch defenses," Time Traveler waved at everyone, roaring, "Set up a position, don't let them come close, these damn imperials!"

He has realized that this is a trap, but the Ravendur Artisan Association is only the most low-key of the three imperial teams, and he does not think that he is not the opponent of the opponent.Just stick to the first wave of troop projection.

It is impossible for the imperials to fight a meaningless war of attrition with them here.

Time Traveler turned his head, only to find that Kura didn't say a word, just looking at the dark construct.At this moment, why is this guy in a daze, he is a little angry, "Kula?"

"Don't you think it looks familiar?" Kura turned around and asked him.

Time Traveler was slightly taken aback, "What familiar?"

"These constructs," Kula replied, "although it happened in Colin-Ishurian, you must have understood such a big event as the Battle of the Northern Territory. These constructs, Somewhat similar to the 'Nightmare Furnace'..."

"It's all technology under the deep sea, nothing strange," Time Traveler gritted his teeth, "I don't know how much these technologies have been studied by the Imperials in private, but now is not the time to discuss this, Kula."

The boy nodded, and then put on his craftsman's gloves.

As the time traveler thought, the Ravendur Craftsmanship Association was the weakest of the three participating teams in the empire, and the White Tree Society faced it head-on, which was nothing more than an even match.

As long as they reacted, no one present would think that they would persist until the first wave of construct airdrops arrived.

At this stage, the artisans in the sea of ​​trees are no longer short of resources. Everyone is wearing information crystals. Even without backup, it is easy to put more than one hundred constructs into battle.

One hundred third-tier structures, regardless of the cost, should have no problem maintaining the front line for more than half an hour. For everyone, this is just a very simple calculation problem.

But just outside the arena at this moment——

Abenand's great arena was silent.

The picture on the main stage shows the dilemma that the people of the White Tree Society are facing from a bird's-eye view. It is a boundless, seemingly endless black ocean that is engulfing the forest.

Swallow the sea of ​​green trees.

People in this encirclement may not feel it yet, but the bystanders are just watching the scene in silence. In many people's minds, the White Tree Society has entered the countdown to exiting the competition.

To the east and west of them are the teams of the Ravendur Craftsmanship Association and Silver Chain Island. Now the two teams have erected tall crystal towers, and more than [-] fairy dolls are like one. Zhang Dawang is also distributed in the forest.

"The Imperials finally moved."

A strange color flashed in Geros' eyes, "Although they have been aggressive before this, in fact, apart from the covenant with the overseas team, the imperials have not shown any other means."

"But since the Imperial Workshop got the gestalt core from the third Storm Tower, the flow of the field has changed. Have you seen those constructs? It reminds me of the Colin not long ago— —No, it should be the fire djinn used by the dragon alchemist."

Geros carefully watched the dark 'Nightmare Furnace' constructs, "The goblin doll can't calculate the margin, but Eddie obviously used some special means to make his fire djinn have the margin ability. The essence These constructs should be based on the same principle, using the margin technology to greatly reduce the calculation pressure of the control center, so you will see that a goblin doll can command such an army."

The assistant on the side also nodded and said: "I have heard that the Imperials are making technological innovations, and they have actually used this technology in the latest generation of flexible structures, such as the new generation series they are launching, the Knight Annihilator .But this is the first time the Imperials have shown off this new technology in a competition, and it looks like they've gone a lot further with this technology than we thought."

"This can be regarded as the big move of the Imperials," Geralds continued, "but I don't know if it's the trump card, but new technologies often have an advantage in this space, because it is more difficult to implement technology here than in It’s much easier for the outside world. I’m afraid the Imperials also took this match as an opportunity to verify their technology.”

"It's really bold," the assistant praised, "but in this way, they are somewhat similar to the Colin people. Jack, do you think the empire's hand is stronger than the Colin people's main structure?"

"I can't tell you that," Gerald shook his head lightly, but this is one of the rare occasions where he was not just trying to attract the audience, but he really couldn't see through the game, "Have you noticed—— "

"Find?"

"Imperial Workshop captured the largest number of steeples by virtue of its first-mover advantage, but they didn't actually have much left on hand, but evenly distributed it to other teams in the alliance."

"Huh?" The assistant was slightly taken aback.

Gerald put down the documents in his hand.

The situation on the map is changing, and because of this, Silver Chain Island, Hanruina, Taxin Singer and Shujin Blade have gained more benefits than imagined, and they have really benefited from this covenant .

No wonder they readily agreed to ally with the Imperials and paid so much for it, but all their efforts paid off at this moment, and their progress was even faster than the Gutas, the Lotaos, and even the White Tree Society.

In the north, the Artisan Guild of Ainbrok, the Blade of Gold and the Singer of Taxin are completing the encirclement of the barrier area.

In the south, Hanrui was biting the Luotao people.

In the sea of ​​trees to the east, the Ravendur Craftsmanship Association and Silver Chain Island are blocking the last way for the White Tree Society to enter the core area.

An impenetrable barrier appeared in front of all the teams almost at the same time, and behind that barrier, the core team of the Imperials—the twin stars of the Imperial Workshop were leading a group of geniuses from the Oshurians.

Go to the last door.

Tower Four.

"They really only left two secondary mechanical artifacts in their hands, ice feldspar and gestalt core," the assistant looked at the information provided by the background, and said with some surprise, "and three core fairy souls. "

"I guess," Geros silently stared at the imperial people in the picture, "this is their trump card."

"How did the Imperials do it?" The young man flipped through the game records, "It seemed that in an instant, the situation on the field changed completely. Originally, they were no different from the Collins and Forin's team. "

"But now..." He hesitated.

But an excellent host must dare to draw conclusions. Geros said directly, "At this moment, the Imperials are at least two steps ahead. Now that I think about it, they have already occupied all It's time to go."

"Don't the Colin people notice it at all?"

"I do think..."

Geros paused, "This is a conspiracy."

But a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind. This may be a conspiracy, but is it really just the will of one party?

……

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room of The Wandering Horse is obviously a lot more dignified, and even the tone of the barrage discussion has become serious and tense. The audience can see the overall situation, and it is natural to see that the imperial people started to speed up.

The form of encirclement in the tree sea space is already very obvious.

Of course, the remaining teams of the Lotao people, the Hill of Giant Trees, and the Colin people are not incapable of fighting the Imperials, but these teams still seem to be in a mess.

If this goes on, the imperials may really defeat them one by one.

People can't help but get anxious.

"Ed and the others haven't noticed yet?"

"Even if Ed is inexperienced, Wei Yu, Luo Wei, and Shui Wuming aren't from the Grand Duke's Guild, don't they have any idea?"

"Is the tactical analyst a dry meal, and what tactics are arranged by the coaching staff?"

"Isn't it a fake match?"

The wandering horse blocked a few barrages that were obviously rhythmic. He noticed that some people in the live broadcast room were discussing the strange structures of the Imperials, and many people recognized them as being similar to the creatures of the Nightmare Furnace.

He knew some inside information, so he knew that the Imperials had actually played a disgraceful role in the Battle of the Northern Territory.But to say whether there is any connection between all this and the great war, he fell into silence for a while looking at those spider-like constructs.

What on earth do the Imperials want to do?
Are they calm or unscrupulous in making these constructs public so openly?But no matter which one it is, it seems to be in line with the mentality of the imperial people.

But as he watched the dark tide slowly encroaching on the position of the White Tree Academy, another worry suddenly arose in his heart.The debate between the quality and quantity of constructs has always existed in the history of magic arts.

But it is an accepted fact that, whether it is quality or quantity, as long as a critical point is reached relative to the other party, it is almost unchallengeable.But at this moment, this classic scene unexpectedly reappeared on the field.

Is it absolute quality or absolute quantity?

Many people have gradually begun to realize this scene. Is it the amazing main structure of the Colins that smashed through the sea of ​​Imperials' structures, or the dark tide of the Imperials engulfing all the participating teams in the sea of ​​trees?

When mentioning the dragon alchemist, the first thing that people think of is his amazing ability to manipulate flexible structures and unimaginable calculation power when he was a battle craftsman.

But by accident, in the alchemy contest, the opponent actually represents the quality side.

Even the stray horses faintly felt that there was some black humor in it.

"They approached the Gutas."

But with just one sentence, he eliminated the chaos in the live broadcast room.Many barrages seemed to have quieted down at that moment.

In the screen——

In the dark woodland, Luo Wei was raising her hand, and took over a clockwork fairy. The clockwork fairy did not belong to their group. The logo on it was clearly visible, and it came from the sea of ​​silver trees.

That's the mark of the Sonshak Craftsman's Guild.

"Forin replied," Luo Wei looked at the others and said, "He agreed that we can peacefully pass through the sector they control, but the requirement is Tower [-]."

"Tower No. [-]?" MTT was a little surprised. "The people in the Hill of Giant Trees also have ideas about the main tower? But they have never entered the main tower. Do they have this ability?"

"I don't know," Luo Wei shook her head, "But Forin said that there is no goblin soul in Tower No. [-], so we can rest assured."

"There is no goblin soul," Xiaoyao asked suspiciously, "Is this statement credible? Isn't it said that there should be a No. [-] dragon soul in Tower No. [-]? How can we be sure that their words are trustworthy?"

"It is said that there is No. [-] Dragon Soul in No. [-] Tower, because the number of the three main towers is only No. [-] at most," Wei Yu said at this time, "The existence of Dragon Soul is conjectured. If Tower [-] has Dragon Souls, then Tower [-] with a smaller number has no reason to be rewarded worse."

He looked at Luo Wei: "So their target is the mechanical artifact in the tower?"

Luo Wei nodded.

"Ed," she asked, "what do you think?"

"What else did he say?" Fang Yan asked.

"If we are willing to share the central area equally with them, they can help us resist threats from the south, such as Silver Chain Island and the Ravendur Craftsmanship Association." Luo Wei said.

"This is considered half an alliance," Xiaoyao couldn't help but interjected again, "But do they have this ability? I heard that the conflict between the White Tree Society and the Sanshak Craftsman Association is very deep. never teamed up."

"I mean, can the Sanshak Craftsman's Guild stop the Imperials? What's more, they will take down Tower [-] after that."

"That's their business," Wei Yu said, and he also looked at Fang Plover, "Ed, what do you think?"

Fang Plover nodded slightly.

"Tell them we agreed."
