Why am I a full-level time traveler, Miss Priest?

"Don't worry."

Wei Lisi smiled again, her face was full of joy after her guess was confirmed.

"You may not believe it, I've seen this thing before."

"what?"

Sigrid was stunned, but Leila, who was also good at thinking, was startled suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Master Willis, are you talking about..."

"Yes, [Southern Calamity]... This is [Disaster]."

There is no doubt about this.

Perhaps there are some differences in the form of expression and the reaction after acting on the living body, but the inner essence, that is, the laws and powers that represent the power of [withering] are the same.

Ordinary people may not be able to notice this. After all, there are only a few people who have really experienced the power of [Southern Calamity] firsthand. In addition, the gray energy here is more lethal, and there are some differences in appearance. explained that law.

She had a similar feeling before, and she was able to fully confirm this through the physical contact just now.

How to put it, it is actually expected.

But there is one thing worth paying attention to. The dead fog created by this [withering] power should have the effect of causing all life in the range to wither quickly in various senses.

However, those deep beasts can come and go freely in it.

According to the situation I felt just now, the dead fog here must be at least above the ground or even the sky to be active in it for a short time. Relying on strength to resist can be directly ruled out, so there are still two possibilities.

[Yuan Beast] is not a creature in the ordinary sense, and is not even designated as "life" by the law.

Or, it itself is something created with this kind of power, which is essentially the same as the dead fog.

Either way, it is enough to make people quite concerned.

Sure enough, it was the right choice to come here.

Wei Lisi pointed to the well of the abyss below, making a diving motion.

"Sigrid, look, the gray gas is flying up from the bottom of the abyss without any hindrance, which means that there must be a source of producing them below, and it is connected to this side, so if I reverse now Go in, is it possible to directly reach the lair on the opposite side?"

"what?!"

Miss Captain, whose expression changed immediately after being frightened, quickly grabbed the hem of Wei Lisi's clothes, as if she was afraid that she would not be optimistic and let this guy really jump in.

Based on Sigrid's understanding of this girl's personality, it is entirely possible for her to do what she says.

"Hey, hey! Don't mess around. Let me tell you. Before leaving, Lord Filiana told me to take care of you, don't do anything dangerous. Even if you are very confident, you will go into the abyss alone or something It's too messy!"

"Hahahahaha~"

Standing beside her, Leila couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to tug at the sleeves of the adult [Four Wings] who was not much older than her, with a helpless expression on her face.

"Miss Sigrid, Lady Willis is making you happy. In fact, she is more cautious than you imagined, so she would not do such a rash thing."

"Oh, Layla, it's boring for you to do this... Uwah, don't hit me on the head, Sigrid, it's just a joke!"

"Willis!!!"

The four legendary priests from [Sky Temple] were amazed at the scenes of the girls playing. They had watched Sigrid grow up, and she knew her personality well. That Miss Willis must be After realizing that the girl was depressed, she deliberately activated the atmosphere so much.

However, she didn't seem nervous at all when she was about to arrive at the battlefield, and this golden barrier that easily helped everyone resist the dead fog, could it be that she is really a transcendent powerhouse as His Majesty Yuhuang said?

The people with their own thoughts did not stay above the well of the abyss for too long. There are still many abyss beasts staying nearby. In just a short while, many people have noticed them and rushed over to attack.

Although these ordinary enemies that didn't devour too many lives are nothing to at least the legendary top powerhouses, their target is the abyss worm, so there is no need to entangle these miscellaneous soldiers endlessly.

Without even making a move, Wei Lisi manipulated the barrier of [Guardian of Light Blessing] to break through the blocking Yuan beast all the way, and rushed directly to the further north.

..............................

Bertram Grace stood on the height of the fortress, put down the far-sighted gemstone in his hand, and stared at the ferocious monsters pouring in from afar like a tide, his resolute face was full of unresolved melancholy.

In his life, he had never fought such an aggrieved battle.

This cannot be regarded as a war at all. If you want to describe this outstanding general who is only forty years old and has been appointed as the Grand Duke, guarding the city of Yuanyuan and the southern border of the United Kingdom for many years, he prefers to call it resisting natural disasters. .

At the beginning, although he had obtained some information about these so-called "deep beasts" through urgent communication, Pertram only regarded them as a special kind of strange monster that would become stronger with devouring.

If that's all, he has many ways to suppress and target the enemy's advance and minimize his own losses.

But after the actual match, Grand Duke Burtram discovered that this was not the case at all.

Being able to grow stronger endlessly through devouring is a terrible ability, but it can't show much sense of presence alone or in short-term battles. These deep beasts—the waves from the abyss are really scary.

They won't get tired, don't need rest and supplies, aren't afraid of heat or cold, won't be troubled by disease or injury, and won't be timid or retreat, even until their energy is exhausted and they die, or they are blown to pieces by the overwhelming joint magic. There will be no reduction in combat effectiveness.

Can this still be called a creature?

Due to the devouring nature of the deep beasts, it is meaningless to simply stack the number of troops. Pertram, who had known this for a long time, did not bring too many troops when he was ordered by the king to go out—only 5 people.

Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have anticipated this disaster, and ordered Burtram to make preparations in advance.

These are the most elite fighters mobilized by the entire southern border army, equipped with multiple established magician legions and complex arms, and are the pride and brainchild of Pertram.

However, they are so vulnerable in the face of the abyss.

Chapter 318: 1 Chapter Twenty: The Battlefield Against Natural Disasters

From the moment they arrived at the first hub city, gathered the first batch of reinforcements from all sides to join forces to build a defense line, and faced the abyss tide that was slaughtering all the way, in less than five days, the army was forced to abandon the front line and retreated three times in a row.

There is no way, no retreat, as I said before, Yuan beasts will not get tired at all, they can launch endless attacks 24 hours a day regardless of casualties, but the joint army cannot.

Not to mention human beings, even the orcs, known for their physical strength, cannot fight for more than ten hours without eating, drinking, or sleeping. They must give up the front and retreat, temporarily resting.

Otherwise, in the absence of fire suppression, no matter how many troops come, they will be overwhelmed by the tireless sea of ​​beasts sooner or later.

Especially those flying in the sky, which are incredibly huge and are called abyss worms by the winged people. Even if the strong have tried their best to contain them, as long as any one breaks into the army's defense line, it will be a devastating blow just by crushing them.

Bertram's army had already suffered big losses because of this more than once, and those important forces that he had cultivated by himself, representing the core of the United Kingdom's Southern Frontier Army, were depleted at an appalling speed.

The armies of other countries have also suffered heavy losses. Although the Wingmen have fought against the abyss for several years, there were only a hundred or a thousand abyss beasts in units before, but this wave of large-scale attacks is only faced by the United Kingdom. There were more than one hundred thousand on the battlefield.

If this continues, they may not be able to defend for long before they will be defeated.

Now the purpose of the battle has changed from blocking the tide of the abyss initially to buying time for the civilians in the rear to retreat.

Many countries in the middle of the lawless zone, including the Kingdom of Bolt and the Jagged Empire of Nobos, are evacuating their residents to the north at the fastest speed.

Everyone knows the serious consequences of letting the abyssal beasts devour them, so the retreat is surprisingly efficient under the joint organization of all parties. This is not only to help others, but also to slow down the expansion of the abyss as much as possible.

Bertram rubbed his stiff eyebrows, then turned to look at the guard officer behind him.

"Where is the rear support now?"

His personal bodyguard is a young soldier in his twenties. Although he has not been in the army for a long time, he is thoughtful and agile. After Burtram found out by chance, he was directly promoted to his current position after several investigations.

The grand duke and the commander of the southern army has always been like this. He is not crony, as long as he is capable, he can use anyone.

"As a result of the contact three hours ago, the emergency support dispatched by Wangcheng has already passed Wangyuan City, and it will arrive in about three to five days. The support from the Eastern Border Army and Western Border Army is still in the country, and it may still take months. As for the matter in the northern border, you know...it may be difficult to send reinforcements over."

Seeing Bertram's gradually gloomy face, the guard officer had no choice but to persuade him.

"My lord general, they should already be packing lightly and rushing at full speed. Our army is not those monsters. It is impossible to just rush forward and rush forward."

"Tsk..."

As a guard officer who has been cultivated by himself, it is impossible for Burtram to understand the truth of what the other party said, but the difficulty is the difficulty. If the reinforcements arrive at the current speed, I am afraid that these countries and even the Kewei Kingdom in the farther north will have completely fallen.

"Tell those guys that the ordinary army doesn't matter, but the magician group and the elite army must hurry up. Even if they temporarily leave the army and run away to death on their mounts, they must arrive in the shortest possible time!"

Wearing a gorgeous armor that symbolizes the status of the marshal, but not having any outstanding strength, the General of the Strategist Faction took a few steps in place, raised his hand and added.

"If they are making excuses, just say that His Majesty has appointed me to take full control of this war, and prevarication is directly regarded as disobedience to the king's order!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Just as the guard officer was about to turn around and issue an order, a series of conspicuous warning signals and loud sirens suddenly exploded in the sky, and the expressions of the two changed slightly at the same time.

"It's here again, the last wave just ended in less than 10 minutes! These bastard monsters!"

When Bertram rushed into the command room downstairs with his guards, it had already entered an emergency wartime state.

A large number of soldiers of the kingdom ran around holding weapons, documents, and props, all of which showed uncontrollable fatigue on their faces.

This is impossible, even Bertram, the great general, has never had a solid sleep since he entered the battlefield with the abyss.

Fighting, holding on, retreating, and building a new line of defense, similar things have happened several times in just a few days, not to mention soldiers, even those high-level commanders who have not stepped into the battlefield in person are a little bit overwhelmed, and the mood is even worse. Frustrated by losing streak.

That's why Burtram was extremely anxious.

It may be able to barely support it now, but once the morale or casualties fall below a certain threshold, it will be a defeat like a mountain.

"Everyone is in place immediately! Order the sixth legion to be the first rotation, then the third and second legions, how is the recovery of the magician troops?!"

Immediately, a staff officer holding a note stepped forward to report the situation.

"General, the first batch of mages have basically recovered their magic power. Fighting is not a problem, but the third army just took the most violent impact. Many wounded have not even finished the treatment. Isn't the second rotation a bit... .”

"Nonsense! Do you want the first and fourth legions who have been beaten down to about half to go to the top? Their high-ranking officers are almost dead. If you don't adjust, you are going to send rations to the beasts? Shut up do it!"

"Yes Yes…….!"

These staff officers are obviously very clear about the situation Bertram said. Although they are worried, they can only be rotated according to the general's method at present.

Because the military establishment and ethnicity of each country are different, if they are forced to mix together without training, they can only hinder each other. Therefore, the current situation is that everyone is responsible for defending a certain area, maintaining communication, and cooperating to fight or retreat.

The army of the native country in the lawless zone is too weak. The Nobos Iron-Blooded Empire on the other side may be better, but in this Bolt Kingdom, that kind of motley army just dies when they go to the battlefield.

They were therefore assigned to assist in the evacuation of civilians, with the British Army alone covering this line of defense.

However, they also have a very clear advantage.

Where the United Kingdom Army is located, this area was once known as the [Forest of Disaster], but now it has become the first line of resistance to the abyss. It is said that a huge miracle happened to it not long ago.

Chapter 319: Chapter 121: Glorious Forest and Thunder Light

Although it was heard that the miraculous light suddenly disappeared later, its residual influence still shrouded this land.

First of all, those strange beasts of unknown origin all over the forest disappeared overnight, turning the original dangerous place into a fertile forest where everyone can set foot.

Moreover, according to the investigation of professional magic academics, after the miracle came, the concentration and purity of free light elements in this place unexpectedly increased by leaps and bounds, reaching more than five times the normal area!

Probably because of this ultra-high concentration of light element environment, a kind of magic ore that has never been recorded and contains extremely high-purity light elements began to gradually appear throughout the entire forest of disasters.

This special ore can extract some extremely precious light-attribute magic crystals that may have reached the fifth level. It has many magical functions and its value is inestimable.

After all, the [Goddess Cult], the largest and most widely followed in the world, worships the Goddess of Light. Whether priests, paladins, or other branches of professions, they basically use the magic of the Light Faith, and the market is considerable.

Even if you don't consider these things, the fifth-order magic crystal is also one of the necessary materials for forging a real spirit treasure. Even if it is only a small piece the size of a fingernail, you need gold coins in units of [-] to buy it.

After the news came out, the surrounding residents flocked into this originally taboo land like crazy, looking for and mining the precious ore called [Glowing Source Crystal] day and night. A large number of gold diggers who got the news also flocked to this barren small country.

But it didn't take long for them to dig, and the tide of the abyss came.

In the current situation, it is naturally impossible for the coalition forces to let those civilians and speculators mess around. Most of the latter fled to the north long before the war started. It even entered the belly of Yuan Beast as it wished.

And the reason why the United Kingdom Army chose to build a defense line in this area was naturally not because they also took a fancy to those [Glowing Source Crystals], and they wanted to make money during the war.

This vast forest covers almost the entire southern part of the Bolt Kingdom. That is to say, if you want to continue going north, you must pass through the area that was once known as a disaster, but is now gradually being called the [Glorious Forest].

And the environment here, because of its extremely high concentration and purity of light elements, will have a considerable degree of suppression on all undead and dark series creatures, and the abyss beasts from the abyss seem to be the same.

The behavior of Yuan Beast is logical, intelligent but disorderly. They are extremely cunning in battle, but they are extremely persistent or dull in certain directions.

A large number of high-intensity life like the army will spontaneously gather all the nearby beasts, attracting the attention of these things like sweet fruit cheese, and it is impossible to give up until they are devoured.

Therefore, even in the [Glorious Forest], the tide of the abyss will continue to attack them honestly. It is precisely because of this that the United Kingdom army has been able to persist until now.

Sometimes, Bertram would really thank the "unknown god" who did a miracle here for some reason, although the Holy Empire insisted that it was the blessing of Goddess Aurora.

Standing right in front of the command room, looking at the crumbling battle line in the distance under the impact of the ocean of beasts, Burtram frowned and said nothing.

At this moment, dazzling colored lights lit up the sky.

This is not a miracle, but a joint bombing launched by the Magicians of the United Kingdom. By letting the mages inject energy into the special magic cannon, the range, power and coverage of magic can be greatly improved. Only through this method can we ignore those outrageous monsters self-healing ability, killing it quickly.

However, there are only [-] similar equipment in the entire southern army, which are divided into five magic artillery regiments. Each launch has a cooling period of more than ten minutes. It is a real killer. Considering the horror of the enemy in the intelligence, Burtram brought them all here this time.

Because of the excessive concentration of Yuan beasts, the effect of this round of bombing is surprisingly good. It probably destroyed at least a thousand of them. Hand-to-hand enemies.
