the only savior

Chapter 966

Compared to the shock of everyone in Kuhan City, the most unacceptable to what happened in front of them was of course the orc side.

Especially the part of the orcs trapped on the giant barrier.

They were resting well in the camp, but suddenly the world changed drastically, the ground under their feet suddenly rose, and they were trapped on the hundreds of meters high cliff.

There are cliffs in the front and back, and I can't go in or back. I can only approach the edge of the cliff cautiously, looking at my companions who have become the size of black spots below, and there is nothing I can do.

Ogg Tanron and Greg's luck is not bad, they are located just outside the cliff.

Just a few hundred meters away, they might be trapped in the sky like those unlucky ones.

Of course, both are men with armed rings.

If you are really trapped, you can rely on your flying ability to get down, or you can quickly retreat with the support of wind cavalry.

It's just that the most tragic thing is the group of 20 orcs trapped inside the wall.

At first they were only frightened by the sudden wall, which caused a certain panic.

But when the alliance army led the four chimeras to attack, they were almost all dumbfounded.

What is this situation?

I and the others originally planned to attack, but they suddenly changed from hunters to prey.

Until this time, the group of orcs realized to their horror that they had no way out.

The giant screen of more than 300 meters cut off their connection with the friendly forces. Even though the two sides were only separated by a wall, the wall was too thick and too high.

The ensuing battle can be described as one-sided.

The alliance dispatched 20 troops and four chimeras, and with the help of several holy ranks, it was very easy to eliminate these trapped beasts of the orc race.

Especially those four chimeras, they are simply giant killing beasts specially born for war.

Each of their lightning strikes is able to form a large-scale electric field, causing devastating damage to the creatures within it.

The orc army at the back also thought about rescue, but this giant screen was like an insurmountable moat, and the army couldn't reach the opposite side at all.

It is almost impossible to attack or detour.

The wind cavalry carried out reconnaissance from a high altitude, and the huge wall in front of them almost surrounded the entire northern side of Kuhan City, and the thickness reached an astonishing 50 meters, which is simply a real mountain range.

Want to break through a mountain?
With their strength, they can't do it yet.

Perhaps Ogg Tamron and Gregor, having worn the arming ring, were able to force a small hole through it.

But doing so obviously pays far more than the rewards, and there is no need to consider it at all.

The Rock Demons were able to sneak through the ground by virtue of their ability to hide from the ground, but the opposite side was the army of the Alliance, and even if they passed, they were just delivering food.

Chimera's indiscriminate bombardment, coupled with the encirclement and suppression of the mage group and the Griffon Knights, killed the orc army inside the barrier overnight.

At the beginning, the orcs planned to send wind cavalry to support them, but they were caught off guard by the hippogryph troops that had been ambushed in advance.

After suffering heavy losses, they completely abandoned their companions here.

The fighting continued until dawn.

When the sun rose, shadows still loomed beneath the giant barrier.

Obviously, the sun can no longer reach here, and the huge rock wall blocks everything.

Below the giant screen, rivers of blood flowed, including those of orcs, humans, elves, and dwarves.

But what's more, there are corpses scorched by lightning, twisted into shocking appearances, completely setting off this place into a hell.

The 20 orc army was all killed.

This is a racial war, neither side needs prisoners, and the orcs will not surrender.

The Union Army quickly occupied the area behind the giant barrier and deployed a frontline military point here, completely realizing McAvey's previous plan to drive the orcs back to the Borean Steppe.

Now, the battlefield has changed from Kuhan City to the entrance of the North Wind Grassland, and the next battle will also break out here.

When the residents of the city walked out of their houses, they finally understood what happened yesterday.

Although because of the height, they can't see very clearly at this distance.

But it can still be seen from the faint outline in the distance that it is a super large mountain range.

Since when has there been such a majestic mountain range to the north of Kuhan City?
Many old residents who live here express their incomprehension at all.

Fortunately, in the end, they found out about the situation from the tavern where the news gathered.

That mountain range turned out to be created by a certain holy rank powerhouse!
Jixing, the name spread throughout the entire city of Kuhan in just one morning.

The army was not stingy with the promotion of that holy man, and it was the first time that Zhang Xiaoman gained popularity in this world.

Everyone knew before that there were five holy-rank powerhouses in Kuhan City.

But they don't know who these people are. At most, they have heard of one McAvey Lesentra.

As for the holy ranks of other races, many commoners still don't care much about them.

But now, they know a new name, that is "Pole Star".

Compared with the shock and disbelief of McAvey and others, the civilians and professionals in Kuhan City, even the garrison and guards, did not have too many unacceptable emotions.

Because in their cognition, the holy rank is an invincible existence in this world.

The forbidden spells they have mastered are also the strongest spells. If all these are done by the holy rank powerhouses, there seems to be nothing wrong with them.

This is the difference brought about by different cognitions, but it is not a bad thing for now, at least the residents in Kuhan City are not as panicked as they were at the beginning.

Zhang Xiaoman went back to his room to study the jade slip for a whole night after he finished performing the mountain range last night.

For his current system, it's okay to stay up for a few days and nights.

Coupled with the recovery ability of the morning star ring, it only takes him less than two hours to fully recover even if he sleeps.

Now, after a night of research, he also has some understanding of McAvey's secret of longevity.

And the secret is actually quite simple.

It's not like he imagined that he needs to take some kind of special alchemy potion, and he doesn't need the blood of other races.

It's just an exercise similar to the method of cultivating immortals.

To be precise, it is a way to guide dark spiritual power.

According to Zhang Xiaoman's understanding, he only needs to guide the dark spiritual power in his body according to the method in the jade slip, then he can blend with nature at a unique frequency, thereby increasing his vitality by absorbing natural energy.

The so-called natural energy, to put it bluntly, is actually a manifestation of active dark energy particles.

The reason why this practice method has not been popularized in this world is also because it requires the user to have very pure energy as a prerequisite.

For people in this world, the elemental power they use obviously cannot reach such a level, and naturally they cannot operate this method.

Only a strong man like McAvey can barely meet the conditions for operation.

But even so, he still couldn't even meet the qualifications for entry.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman fell into deep thought.

The appearance of this jade slip is very strange.

According to McAvey, it was found among the relics of the Paladin Grand Knight Lord.

And the Paladin family in Rochester should also have such a set.

It's just that I didn't find it at the time, or even they themselves forgot about this thing.

However, these are no longer important.

The important thing is why such an item suddenly appeared in this world.

Although the operation method of this dark spiritual power is somewhat similar to the elemental power practiced by the natives of this world.

But if you distinguish carefully, you can still find its incompatibility.

According to Zhang Xiaoman's observation, the way of cultivation in this world has its own unique system, and there are traces to follow from the beginning to the end.

Just like the history of a civilization, it must be gradual, and it is impossible to jump from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age all at once.

However, the emergence of this dark spirit guidance method is very different.

It is like when archaeologists were exploring the primitive society, they suddenly dug out a well-preserved and exquisitely crafted rice cooker from the ground.

Everything is full of absurd incredible.

Now, this jade slip in Zhang Xiaoman's hand is like this.

In a place where the use of power is still very backward, he unexpectedly found a jade slip engraved with a mature dark spirit guidance system.

This obviously can only explain one problem, that is, this thing is not from this world at all!
"Here... must have been connected to some other place before..."

Looking up at the blue sky, Zhang Xiaoman became even more curious about the secrets here.

He is now almost certain that those so-called gods are probably not true gods living in the God Realm, as McAvey said.

What tenth order, what gods, are all nonsense.

Those "gods" are most likely dark spirits from another planet just like him!
Only in this way can it make sense, where did the jade slip in his hand come from.

And the origin of those rings seems to have the answer.

Dark Artifact.

Dark spirits.

In a sense, the goals of the Bondbreaker are also very likely to be correct.

They were indeed bound.

Zhang Xiaoman calculated the time in his mind, now there are only five days left before the arrival of the God's Advent Festival.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a look of anticipation on his face.

The truth will soon be revealed.

……

Today is the 3629th year of the Irene calendar, the eve of the Advent of God.

In the city of Kuhan, the soldiers of the alliance have already forgotten the upcoming festival, and devoted themselves to the preparations for the next battle.

Only some civilians placed a beautiful rainbow flower bouquet in front of the window sill, telling the world that the most solemn festival of the year is coming.

Soldiers on patrol walked past the window sill, and after seeing the beautiful little flowers placed on it, they couldn't help being a little dazed, remembering that the new year was only three days away.

Some soldiers will smile, thinking about their wives and children in their distant hometowns, while continuing to start the next patrol.

Some soldiers would sigh softly, as if they were mourning this untimely war.

Someone also stopped secretly, put the tip of their nose in front of the bunch of rainbow flowers, sniffed it lightly, and then walked away silently.

The children stood behind the window sill, looking at the desolate street outside through the gray glass, their eyes full of longing to go out and play.

In the church, the bell rang seven times, and a nun knelt in front of the solemn statue, praying devoutly with folded hands.

Except for a very few people, most people in this world don't know the truth about Advent.

They didn't know that the biggest reason for today's war was actually the gods they kept begging for.

Sometimes, ignorance is indeed a kind of happiness.

If there is no faith, many people will lose hope of living.

……

The entrance to the North Wind Grassland, the Wall of Sighs.

This is a huge wall made by Zhang Xiaoman using earth-type supernatural powers, and it is now named "Wall of Sighs".

It means a barrier that orcs cannot cross, and can only sigh for.

Now, this place has been transformed by Zhang Xiaoman into a real defensive Great Wall, used to resist the attack of the orc army.

A few simple earth spells gave the wall many more steps for the alliance soldiers to climb.

And this move once again surprised McAvey and others.

In their impression, spells are used to kill, at most, the magic of the light system will have some buff effects.

In this world, abilities similar to food making and water making are rare among the rare.

And Zhang Xiaoman's earth spells, which have no attack effect and only create a row of stairs, are even more inconceivable to them.

Can spells still work like this?

But this... other than being more convenient, it seems to have no effect...

It is obviously a job that ordinary people can complete with a little more hard work.

Why waste precious mana resources and energy to research and learn something that doesn't help in combat?

This is how different worlds and people with different identities look at issues differently.

But Zhang Xiaoman didn't want to change the other party's anything, some thoughts, it's true that one or two words can't change them.

In short, the existence of the Wall of Sighs gave the Alliance a little more confidence in fighting the orc invasion.

The soldiers of the alliance laid out various vehicles and fortifications, and completely built this place into the most solid barrier in the world.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman was not stingy either, he cast a large formation on the Wall of Sighs.

Using the power of the array to strengthen the strength of the wall, further immune to the damage that the orcs may cause to it.
