Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 296: Knox's Counterattack

? Beneath the power tower, buried deep on a base reinforced with smelted silver and dense steel, there is a magic circle that never stops. ●⌒,. Almost all kinds of gemstones can be found here, they are always shining with colorful light under the action of magic energy.

Each gem has different elemental properties, and they act as nodes in the magic circle to store the corresponding elemental energy. Above this is a powerful magical enchantment called a spell pool. The mages of the Federation can cast magic into the spell pool, and then the spell structure will be recorded and stored, and the contained energy will be stored in gems.

The Magic Tower is a spell booster, the higher the height, the greater its coverage. When members of the federation need it, they can use their personal magic badges registered with the federation to connect to this spell pool and call their own spells stored in it to deal with emergencies. Usually, the defensive enchantment and various special spell effects of the mage tower are maintained by the energy stored in the gems.

For hundreds of years, a huge amount of energy has been stored here, enough for three archmages to squander for three weeks in a row. This means a meteor shower that can cover half a continent, or destroy all towns in the Walled Mountains with a thundercloud storm twice.

But now it's almost depleted.

This is not normal! Archmage Kasper panicked. Two months ago, he activated the Great Curse, and according to the characteristics of the magic fluctuations left in the crimson spire of the hub castle, he locked down the conspirators who provoked the war between the Federation and the elves. This person is very cunning, and this magical fluctuation was found by chance, and it is the only clue. Archmage Kasper decided not to waste time looking for it, and directly used the Great Curse to solve him!

At that time, the energy of the magic circle was basically full.

The Archmage managed to maintain his courtesy.

The spell is still running, indicating that the person is still living happily in some corner of the world. He seems to have found a way to resist, completely withstanding the attack of negative energy and various curses. Casper checked the composition of the Great Curse and found that there was no problem: the curse was mixed with countless dispel magic and remove protection spells, which were used to break the protective barriers that the attackers might use, such as immunity to negative energy or immunity. Immediate death etc. Even powerful protective spells such as the Rainbow Orb should have long since been removed, and it is impossible for the attacked person to resist the Great Curse with only the flesh.

The reason for this is because of the nature of this spell. It will use part of the effect of the strongest prophetic spell early warning to determine the target's attributes. Then the targeted attack was launched. The Great Curse will only use negative energy if the victim is a living creature. If the target being targeted is a lich, the spell automatically converts to positive energy or some elemental attack to which it is not immune. This characteristic is the most essential part of the Great Curse, and it is also the source of confidence for Archmage Kasper. But still can't kill the target?

This is very unconscionable.

What's even more strange though is the power consumption of the Powerfa tower. The Great Curse is very energy-intensive. But this is only relative to an ordinary mage. Compared to the storage capacity of the entire Power Tower, there should be no problem in maintaining the Great Curse for a year. Casper checked, and the consumption of the Great Curse was exactly the same as in the records, and there was nothing abnormal.

In just two months, where has the massive spell reserve gone?

In addition to the "Big Three of the Federation" who can enter this manipulation room. There is also Machig, master of protective spells, Scott, master of evocation, and Edith, master of magic tower builder. Machigo and Scott have been turned into loyal members of the Knox Commons, Edith went to Heimland and never returned.

Among the three giants, William is still on the top of Mora and has never come out of the gate of pure gold, but his suspicion cannot be ruled out. Alexander the Lion is a person Kasper can't see through. Since the closure of the Transoceanic Teleportation Array, there has been no news of him. Is he back?

As the actual leader of the original three giants, Alexander may still have some secrets that Casper did not know, and he is the greatest threat to the actions of the Common Society. The Archmage stopped the Great Curse first. Then check the Three Peaks Pagoda through the circle here, looking for anything suspicious.

Got nothing.

Energy will not be created out of thin air, nor will it disappear out of thin air. What is it used for? The question was like a thorn in a fingernail, making Kasper uncomfortable. The external enemies and the internal enemies make the Common Club seem to be caught in a whirlpool, being pulled into the abyss of failure.

no way! Casper made up his mind. Since the energy reserve is not enough to open the Hidden Shadow Array for a long time, the method of retriggering according to the conditions is adopted, so that it can only be used when the attack comes. If you still want to keep the Three Peaks Pagoda, Archmage Kasper cannot stay away. He needs to keep an eye on the movements of the elves and be ready to climb these five hundred and twenty-two steps at any time.

Then. All hope is placed on the external elemental energy, use it to supplement part of the consumption of the magic circle, and then pray for as long as possible.

Being under siege has exhausted the Archmage's patience to the limit, and the bad news from Creekwood Town and Hub Fort is even worse. At present, these two important strongholds have lost their outer protection: the elves have broken through the city walls. The puppets supported by the Common Society have surrendered, and the original residents have all become refugees, and have been driven out of their homes westward and southward. Only some fishermen in Ximu Town boarded the boat ahead of time and escaped to the sea during the chaos, so they were not captured.

The two crimson spires could only barely maintain the final defense, and messages for help had been sent many times. If these magic towers are lost. What is left of the Knox Commons?

Kasper squeezed the staff of power, and the current predicament finally made him make up his mind. The continuous victories of the elves must be stopped, and the power that will be hidden in common must be used.

This represents the Wraith, the Emotional Circle, and the Death Knights north of the Walled Mountains.

And dragons.

The knight of the Red God uses the dragon as his mount to represent the power to destroy the world. Those were strong and proud fellows who liked to rest on the edge of the Storm Wall on weekdays. Let the elves continue to plant trees, and when the dragons appear, their ancient war trees can't fly into the sky.

The armies of the elves are scattered throughout the Walled Mountains, but their numbers are seriously insufficient compared to the vastness of the land. After the Three Peaks Pagoda attracted a large number of troops, the direction of the Elf Forest showed a neutral position, but no one had such a strong mobile force to attack. The original plan was to lead the nomadic cavalry on the grasslands to cause trouble for the elves, but the students sent out failed to complete the task.

The nomads actually found a magic suppression area and hid in it, intending to avoid the influence of the war. "Holy Land", that's what they call the Magic Inhibition Zone. How stupid. Living in such an area will affect their physical fitness from generation to generation, and the powerful steppe nomads will eventually become like ordinary farmers, never seeing giants and horses again.

But it doesn't matter, dragons are more mobile than nomadic cavalry. more powerful.

"All the mages began to store energy in the spell pool to prepare for the counterattack of the elves." The voice of Archmage Kasper echoed in the Three Peaks Tower, and there was power in the calm voice. "The elves want to dominate the New World, to destroy the way humans learn and master magic, and to stifle our freedom. This is absolutely not allowed. Every spellcaster should act and fight for survival and victory!"

Following his orders, several crimson spires all began to glow, attracting the resentful spirits on the polar ice plains to the south. For a time, the northern sky was full of gray smoke, and all creatures huddled and hid, lest they be discovered by these terrible undead.

The forbidden rune magic circle on the city wall mountain burst out with a strong light, reflecting the entire mountain top into a bright red color. From a distance, it looks like carbon burning in a furnace, hot and hard to touch. Wraiths flew over the city wall mountains as if they were on fire. Rolling, screaming, and falling black scum, the number began to decrease.

The dark clouds descended and rushed towards the City Wall Mountains regardless of the cost. Countless burning resentful spirits turned into black slag, covering the mountain. Gradually, this layer of black became thicker and thicker, isolating the rune power of the city wall and mountains, forming a passage that could be traversed.

Most of the nomads in the grasslands are near the Holy Land, away from the direction of Waterdeep City, so they avoid the threat of the Wraith. However, some tribes on the east side of the grassland still saw this wonder. Even though the warm south wind had already blown, this dark cloud was still advancing against the wind with an unstoppable force. Covered the entire sky. All the cows and horses bowed their heads, or shivered on the ground, or stuffed their heads into the tents to hide. Those children who looked up at the sky were all nauseated and vomited. Some have a tyrannical bad temper.

The elves responded as soon as the Crimson Tower lit up. The anti-evil, anti-necromancy and anti-mind control enchantments opened to protect those soldiers. The priest of the Moon Temple summoned angels radiating golden light, and used holy power to fight against the spirits.

In many places, the elven generals held up runestones with the rune words of meditation and perseverance written in dwarven script. These can restrain the resentful spirits to a certain extent and increase the difficulty of their possession. And can greatly slow down their speed. These runestones come from Heimland and are sold to the elves through the channels of General Leia. Due to the small number, only those elves who leave the main camp and are not accompanied by a priest can get a piece, and need to return it when they return to the camp.

The rune stone is made of various gems, and there are no rules in size, but the rune text on it is exactly the same. The elf didn't notice this, or didn't think further. According to Siegel's own power, unless he becomes a pure craftsman, how can he produce such a large number of runestones?

This is the second line of magic items, specializing in the manufacture of rune equipment. These rune stones only have a lifespan of three or four years, but there is no difference at all until the lifespan is reached. The elves provided gems of various colors, but for a small fee, most of them were replaced by the farming areas of Heimland. It turned out that a small half of the ghost fog swamp has now become the area for spring ploughing in Heimling, but it turns out that there are simply not enough people to sow seeds.

The elves buy at the price of magic items, but the actual cost of making the Helm's Rune is very low. After the cost of gems is excluded, the transaction is almost entirely a net profit. For the newly acquired farming area~www.novelmt.com~, the farmers in many territories are afraid to cultivate, for fear of the elf army and the threat of the huge ancient war tree. But Siegel ordered that crop seeds must be planted in the cultivated area, even if it was not manageable.

The decree baffled the farmers, but most generals understood the significance of the move. Although they have not seen the turning point of the war, they have increased their confidence in victory.

Recently, the third magic item assembly line has also been completed, and the production of magic breastplates has begun. The breastplate is made up of two iron plates connected in tandem, depicting a magic circle that enhances defense and resists elemental damage, and is used to create a powerful assault cavalry. But these have nothing to do with the elves, can't help them.

The elves resisted and fought back with magic and magic. Soon, they descended into chaos and cannibalism. Once there is a problem with the priest of the Moon Temple, it will cause a chain reaction, and many elves' camps are turned into graveyards. However, in more places the elves prevailed. After paying a certain price, they drove away the resentful spirits and defended the camp.

The casters were panting, but all took the time to recover. Wraith wandering in the sky, is regrouping. The caster needs to rest, and there is an opportunity for the undead.

It became a war of attrition with the elves. (To be continued.)
