Chapter 306 Feud and Premeditated, Mariel Returns 【Subscription】

The appearance of the Dragon Eagle Knights is an omen, indicating that the crusade is not far away from them.

After Sapphire gave an order, a deacon raised his staff and sent a signal magic to the sky. A red raven phantom bloomed like fireworks over Odo Village.

The red light and shadow illuminated Odo Village, even if it was not dark at this time, it was still very eye-catching.

In an instant, the totem poles in the eight directions of Odo Village began to emit black lights, soaring into the sky, forming a gray dome light curtain hundreds of meters above Odo Village, covering the entire Odo Village.

When Zong Shen sneaked into Odo Village, he had seen these totem poles. At that time, he just glanced at them from a distance and thought that these totem poles were just decorations. one.

The black-gray light curtain called Raven Dome supported by these totem poles is actually a kind of protective magic. Can form a mask that can resist damage.

However, there are still some differences in the strength of the two masks.

The intensity of the light curtain formed by these totem poles is obviously much higher than that of the magic circle.

A rune magic circle was laid under each totem pole, not only buried a large number of magic crystals, but also the bones of many ravens. Obviously, this is a mysterious method of the Church of Calamity Ravens.

After the Raven Dome was formed, those Dragon Eagle Knights could no longer see anything from the sky.

The captain of the Dragon Eagle Knight named Denise frowned at Odo Village, which was covered by the Raven Dome below, and quickly controlled the Dragon Hippogryph to lift it to an altitude of three or four kilometers, and stopped just like that. .

The eleven remaining dragon eagle warriors in the team also came to her side, and the dragon eagle flapped its wings and maintained a suspended posture.

"These cunning heretics discovered us almost immediately."

"Those restless ravens should be attracted by the famous Raven Tower."

"Lord Quinnir is right, these guys are obviously prepared."

"Yom, you immediately return along the way you came, and report this situation to Lord Quinnir in advance."

"He should have his own judgment on this, and this time he must not blindly launch a charge, otherwise he may suffer a loss."

Denise, the female captain of the Dragon Eagle Knight, analyzed it very calmly, and pointed out a Dragon Eagle Knight and asked him to report the news to Quinnir.

After the dragon eagle knight took orders, he controlled the dragon eagle under his crotch to leave the queue and flew towards the west.

In place, Denise also flew the remaining Dragon Eagle Knights towards the west of Odo Village, preparing to temporarily station at a place about 100 kilometers away from Odo Village, waiting for the arrival of the large army.

Below, Raven Saint Sapphire suddenly smiled, her eyes flashing with wise light.

"Everything is about as expected."

"That idiot of the Avalon royal family turned down the Archbishop's condition."

"Those who reject the raven gods will be greeted only by decay and destruction."

"It's time to teach them a lesson."

"As long as the Raven Spirit is successfully summoned, the strength of the church will be greatly improved."

Raven Saint Sapphire said leisurely, the church actually had a plan for this action.

The reason why I chose to start here is because I have done a lot of preparation work and intelligence work, and this is also related to the attitude of the upper levels of the Avalon Kingdom.

In this continent, especially in the human race, there are quite a few churches. These churches have different strengths. Some have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and some have only risen in the last few thousand years. Some churches are strong, and some churches are declining. Each has its own power and scope of development

If a church wants to maintain a strong inheritance, the most important point is that it needs the support of a large number of beliefs and believers. If it can get the support of the kingdom's forces, it is tantamount to embarking on a shortcut.

However, very few kingdoms would agree to allow the church power to settle in and let theocracy influence the kingship. As long as there is no problem with their minds, they will not agree, especially those members of the royal family and noble groups with vested interests, and they will not agree to such things.

Therefore, most churches are called heretics. The Church of Calamity Ravens is not weak. It has two giant city-level strongholds, one is Jackdaw Valley and the other is Island of Calamity. The overall strength belongs to second-rate churches. It is impossible to compete head-on with the kingdom, but if you do your best, you will be able to build a giant city.

The Archbishop of the Church of Calamity Ravens had approached a powerful prince in the Avalon royal family before, and wanted to use the Church of Calamity Ravens for his support in exchange for his acquiescence in the Church to develop believers and spread faith in the kingdom. .

However, it failed because of the multi-party game of interests within the kingdom, so the Church of Calamity Ravens put the call of the Raven Spirit here.

One reason is that there are burial places here, and the ancient great demon souls in those burial places are just right to meet the requirements.

The second reason is to give Avalon Kingdom a disembodied power. This operation has been planned and prepared for several months in advance. They are not going to fight a protracted battle here, but they are just going to summon the Raven Spirit and then destroy Rentat. The crusaders in the giant city disgusted the top officials of the kingdom, and let them know that the Church of Calamity Ravens is not a cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, but a ferocious lion.

This is a grievance between the two sides, but the size of the Church of Calamity Ravens cannot be compared with that of the kingdom. This level of battle can only be regarded as a small friction at best. The real tragic is the total war of the kingdom. will turn into scorched earth.

The nobles of both sides will lead their troops to invade the other's kingdom territory, or they will be scattered or combined, and will carry out bloody slaughter and population plunder on some cities and villages they encounter along the way.

Even a large number of troops will be assembled to attack the opponent's giant city, all kinds of powerful siege equipment, and magic equipment will go into battle one after another, which is definitely a bloody and tragic situation.

However, in the entire continent, there has been no full-scale war between kingdoms for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, all the kingdoms and forces in the entire continent have cultivated their lives, and the kingdom has accumulated a lot of wealth through continuous development. These The wealth is scattered among the major cities and giant cities, most of which belong to the private property of the nobles.

In addition, due to the peaceful environment of the kingdom, a large number of new nobles have risen. In short, after hundreds of years of peaceful development, the aborigines of the mainland kingdom have become much richer.

From some perspectives, these accumulated wealth seem to have other meanings, especially after the arrival of the lords, the development trajectory of the aborigines seems to echo the arrival of the lords.

However, even this small friction is no less than an earth-shattering battle for the current lords. There are hundreds of warriors on both sides, and for the current lords, they are all things to look up to.

After the Raven Saint Saffrey gave some orders, she left Odo Village and rushed towards the Bone Burial Ground.

Thousands of those circling ravens in the sky separated and gathered above her head, forming a "dark cloud" over Odo Village, covering the clouds back and forth.

The raven saint Sapphire put on a hood, and her figure began to fade, and in the end she could only see blurry light and shadow. Her hood actually had the effect of sneaking.

As for the magic circle deployed in the Bone Burial Ground, it also has a masking effect, ensuring that no clues can be found from the sky.

...

In Zong Shen's territory, he searched the [market] for a while.

After the second and third teams of the Wolf Riders had finished digging the trenches, let them take the dirty coats to the creek to wash them after they had finished fetching the water.

The defenses on the periphery of the territory were soon completed. Those kobolds and warriors who had no special tasks returned to the territory, and after a simple dinner, they entered the hut to rest.

Zong Shen put the [Mobile Magic Array (Broken)] that had been placed in the lord's courtyard into the storage compartment. This thing can generate a circular magic shield with a radius of 200 meters, which needs to be used Fel Crystals charge it.

The more mana charged, the higher the sturdiness value. However, after each use, the durability of this mana array will decrease a lot. These days, I haven't had a chance to use it. Maybe it will come in handy tomorrow. .

The other defense towers have also been installed. The [Tower of Thunder] is light blue in color, with a striking yellow lightning rune on the top and a huge blue orb the size of a grinding wheel. The arc is constantly flickering.

[Moon Blade Tower] The whole body is dark purple, and the top is a launch port. A giant three-edged moon blade with a diameter of one meter is ready to go.

The shape of the [Giant Crossbow Tower] is very simple and rude. The base of the tower is a giant conjoined crossbow machine. The crossbow machine can rotate 360 ​​degrees on the plane, and it also has a maximum of four The elevation angle is fifteen degrees, but the depression angle is relatively low. If the enemy is close to a certain distance below the [Giant Crossbow Tower], they will not be able to attack the opponent.

At the same time, there is also a long-barreled periscope-like thing on the crossbow machine.

Zong Shen came to the [Giant Crossbow Tower] and chose to enter [Sniper Mode]. His perspective changed immediately. Now his perspective is the perspective of the crossbow machine on the top of the tower.

And as his angle of view turned, the crossbow machine on the top of the giant crossbow tower also began to rotate, his mind moved, and he looked into the distance, and the angle of view could continue to be pulled in, and he could see the situation four kilometers away relatively clearly.

This thing can not only be used as a super long-range defense tower, but also can be used as a telescope.

The [Sniper Mode] of the [Giant Crossbow Tower] and the [Gunner Mode] of the [Giant Turret] can form an all-round insight into the surrounding area.

The [Giant Crossbow Tower] has a range of 4,000 meters, and the [Giant Cannon Tower] has a range of 3,500 meters, so it seems that these two defense towers are really suitable for use together.

After the magic cannon bombards, use the giant crossbow for precise strikes.

Zong Shen had more ideas about the matching of defensive buildings.

He exited [Sniper Mode] and came to the side of [Holy Light Tower] again.

The shape of the [Holy Light Tower] is like an upright light bulb, and every once in a while there will be corrugated holy light rippling out.

Those crypt demons seem to be very disgusted by this, and even pass the surrounding area of ​​the Holy Light Tower carefully.

Other than that, Zong Shen didn't have much feelings. When these holy lights rippled on him, they were similar to ordinary sunlight, with only a little warmth.

For ordinary creatures, these holy lights can have a healing effect and restore health.

But for those undead undead, that is a proper injury.

In the end, the [Dead Spirit Tower] is left. The entire [Dead Spirit Tower] is black and gray, shaped like a crater, with a depression in the middle, and a huge prismatic gem in the depression, looming. There seems to be no entity.

One after another, the death energy of the undead is emerging from it. When there are no enemies nearby, the effect of the undead tower will not be activated, so Zong Shen can't see the level of its summoned skeleton for the time being.

Zong Shen wandered around these defensive towers to learn more about their characteristics.

With the passage of time, it was already evening, the sky was extremely dark, and the clouds showed no signs of dissipating. As night fell, the earth was dark, and neither the moon nor the stars could penetrate the clouds to shine. down.

Zong Shen didn't go to rest for a long time. He was waiting for Mariel to return. At this time, more than three hours had passed since Mariel's departure, and it is reasonable to return.

This time, Mariel shouldered the mission of purchasing materials, which was related to the opportunity for the next challenge, which made Zong Shen feel a little worried. Only when the materials gathered in the territory as soon as possible can he feel at ease.

Just when Zong Shen was a little worried, Colby led a team of wolf cavalry from the east gate of the territory to clear the way in front, followed by two fully loaded bearer mechas.

Mariel and the others are finally back!

Everyone came to the gate of the small courtyard to gather, and the two load-bearing mechas also stopped in the open space.

The cargo compartment at the back was piled up like a mountain. The two load-bearing mechas only carried a part of the supplies, and some of them were placed in the storage compartment by Mariel.

The cargo hold of one of the load-bearing mechs is full of various leather jackets, hundreds of them, a large box of woolen sweaters, and hundreds of woolen blankets, in addition to Mariel She also bought sheepskins, and now there is a tailor Alanna in the territory, and these sheepskins can be sewn into sheepskin jackets by hand to her.

These alone occupy the entire cargo space of a heavy-duty mech.

As for the other weight-bearer mech, it is all food.

These included eight barrels of hard bread, a large barrel of sausages and jerky, four or five baskets of apples, two baskets of blueberries, and four or five baskets of eggs.
