Chapter 31, Dark Disaster
Charmian left the second floor of the mausoleum.
On the first floor, the warriors of the Iron Sand Tribe have been assembled. After Shamian left enough warriors behind, he asked the remaining ordinary tribesmen to leave with the tribe's property and go to Kavanyi.
Although the priests of Iron Sand were not powerful, the spiritual energy connected to Fugate also foresaw a bad future.
Therefore, he fully cooperated with Xia Mian's statement and convinced the leader, warrior chief, Eagle Father and the chief secretary.
Among them, the leader, secretary and elders organized manpower to go to Kavanyi's main defense line. Eagle Father stayed behind with the falcon. The remaining warriors were led by the warrior chief and the high priest and followed Shamian to join the battle.
Although Shamian didn't know the outcome of the God War, he knew that during this period, a large number of monsters had appeared in various places accompanying the refugees of Canria.
What they are going to is the most dangerous place.
Shamian led the people to fight all the way, and finally met the coalition forces of the desert tribes of Ke'e and the Colossus troops of Kanria at the third line of defense established.
Charmian led everyone to join the battlefield without saying a word. Her killing efficiency was extremely high, not even weaker than the huge Colossus.
"Long live Hermanubis!" The morale of the desert people increased greatly, and the scholar troops and the colossus cleared the monsters faster.
But the happiness was only temporary. When the coalition forces were about to completely eliminate the monsters, the Colossus suddenly made a loud noise, and then stopped completely.
The White Falcon Knights from Canrea came out to explain that the colossus had been damaged during the fierce battle.
"..." Everyone ignored the angry curses and seized the time to fight hard.
The battle ended quickly, and everyone took the time to rest.
"Salute to you, the great Mrs. Fugate, we are scholars of Samaniya." The scholars came forward to pay homage. They are scholars who specialize in desert management and desert research. They are not popular in the Ecclesiarchy, but they inherit the tradition. Pretty orderly.
Many Samaniya scholars also hold courses in the Apostolic Academy.
Shamian had vaguely heard of them, and they seemed to be some independent small sect, but being able to come here to fight, Shamian appreciated their bloody spirit.
Later, some scholars came to see them. They were a group of scholars from the Su Lun sect. They were conducting a ground survey here. They had no idea what was going on and were directly involved.
As for the Sand People, the priests and warrior chiefs of the Iron Sand Tribe were responsible for receiving them.
"Can the Colossus be repaired?" Charmian asked.
"No, we lack the necessary parts." The White Bird Knight said regretfully, "But we can still command these cultivators to continue fighting, and besides..."
"Then leave the Colossus to me." Charmian said.
"?This is the property of the kingdom." said the White Falcon Knight.
"I can make it move again." said Charmian. "At this time, you have to pray that it is old enough."
"??" The White Falcon Knight's head was full of questions.
Charmian found the iron sand priest and asked him to arrange the venue for the ceremony. Charmian wanted to use Fugate's power to activate the machine soul of the colossus. Although she could also activate the machine soul, with such a big machine, Charmian It was too difficult for Mian to activate.
As for whether it can be moved after activation, don't worry. As long as the machine soul can be happy, let alone just damage a few parts, it will be no problem to directly upgrade it in the void.
The people of the Iron Sand Tribe skillfully arranged the place assigned by the priest.
This is a ritual that borrows Fugate's power and is often performed by the Iron Sand Tribe.
"Toll the bell once! Push the lever to start the piston and pump. Toll the bell twice! Press the button to start the engine, ignite the turbine, and inject life. Toll the bell three times! Sing in unison to praise the God of all machines!" Can agitate and wrap the colossus.
Mechanical fatigue is eliminated, mechanical stress is released, and damaged parts are quickly restored.
"Sing in unison, praise the God of all opportunities!" The giant statue made a sound like muffled thunder.
"What...what is this?" The White Falcon Knights looked at the colossus in shock.
They didn't know the language spoken by the colossus, which was the High Gothic language taught by the golden human giant.
"Witchcraft," Charmian said.
"Stand up, soldier!" Charmian stood on the head of the colossus and said, and the colossus stood up.
"Hurry in and prepare to control." Shamian said.
"Oh~Okay~" The White Falcon Knights re-entered the Colossus and began to control the Colossus.
"Forward! Forward!" Charmian said, pointing to the monsters emerging in the distance.
While Xia Mian was killing the monsters, the area not far from Kavanyi was also caught in the flames of war.
The dark hounds are attacking the mercenaries. There is also a Colossus here. Kuru is the advisor of this team and is jumping up and down on the battlefield at this time.
From time to time, he would kill a monster with his crutch. Just kidding, he was so brave.
"Where did these guys come from?" Kuru complained.
"What! Grass element purification doesn't work, spiritual purification!" In most cases, Kuru is actually giving the large troops a blessing and lifting the curse, rather than killing them personally.
He had already called for Fugate's power to support him. Although his spiritual power was not weak, it obviously could not support the purification of the entire army. Only Fugate could easily do this.
"Be careful!" A beastly hound appeared behind Kuru in the teleportation space.
"You little guys, you really know how to make the old man happy." Kuru gently reached out and used his crutch to blow the head of the beastly hound.
Suddenly more monsters floated in from a distance.
Kuru's expression changed and he said, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to die? Run quickly." After hearing his words, everyone withdrew towards the defense line.
The location of Faruna's divine machine is the territory of the tiger. The forest king's labyrinth protects Faruna's divine machine.
But now it's no longer just the Forest King and his attendants. Two old men followed a black cat on crutches and staggered into the Forest King's maze.
The maze of the forest opened up to the three reinforcements.
There are already traces of monsters inside.
"Meow meow!~"
"I know, Dahei, oh~ no, it should be Mr. Benge Black Fugate." Batu said.
Maomao nodded happily, feeling happy that someone could finally tell him his full name.
Big black and so on, it really is a dark history, right?
"Just stay here. There have been more and more dark beasts recently. They seem to be aware of the power of Faluna's divine machine and have been sending troops to try to destroy Faluna's divine machine."
< br>
"Fortunately, several lines of defense are playing their due role, blocking most of the monsters. I can also handle the remaining small monsters."
Quietly, several more dark monsters appeared.
He was killed by two old men in cooperation with the forest king's waiter.
"I haven't fought like this for a long time." Baanka complained, "I hope there will be fewer enemies."
······
"Teacher, I pray for your strength." Hetara should be the most promising among Fugate's apprentices. Her level has reached LV83, and she has become a person at the top of the original god.
But she faces the same problem as several old guys, that is, they are all the same old, and they will naturally become useless when they get old.
And after she retired, there was much less power around her.
So she had to call upon the power of Master Fugate to help her.
"Your reinforcements are on the way." Fugate's voice was erratic. It was too far away from his mausoleum, and his power was already weakened.
"Go this way." Fugate pointed the way for her, and her destined reinforcements would arrive soon.
Hetara used her sword skills to kill several monsters immediately, and then used her psychic lightning chain to crush a large number of monsters.
Then he protected the maid and retreated with several descendants of the family.
Finally they encountered reinforcements sent by the Knights.
"Really, I am an old woman who is very busy today." Hetara complained for a few words, and then died.
As an old woman, she can probably live for two or three more years if she rests quietly. However, if she forced herself to do something today, she would have exhausted the strength in her body early. After all, the organs in her body had failed early, and she was not relying on the breathing method. Promotion, because he is not as strong as other Fugate apprentices, and has truly exceeded the limit of lifespan.
She relied on the medicine in her hand, but unfortunately the medicine could not save her now.
After suddenly relaxing, Hetara died without taking a breath.
One hundred and sixteenth year after Fugate's death, and the third year after the outbreak of the Black Disaster, Fugate's apprentice, Mondstadt's potion witch, Hetara Legenfind Loefate died. He died at the age of one hundred and fifty-seven.
Fugate received her spirit and, in accordance with her dying instructions, entrusted her strength and wisdom to other Mondlanders.
······
In the seventh year after the dark disaster broke out, most of the desert area had been destroyed, and the front line had retreated from the Three Canals to behind Mount Dama.
Even Fogate's mausoleum has been donated, and it has become a fortress to resist erosion. Perhaps Fogate had foreseen this scene.
"I didn't expect Mr. Fugate's tomb to be here." Scholars were amazed at this. "We, the Iron Sand Clan, are Mr. Fugate's family of gravekeepers." The priest said, "You can only move on the first floor underground, the first floor above ground, and the second floor above ground."
"This place seems to be built in the style of a fortress." said a scholar from the Miaolun sect.
Nowadays, they have scholars from the six university sects, as well as many people from the small sects. These scholars are all sent by the Imperial Academy to support them.
"The saint is proficient in prophecy. He may have anticipated today's scene when he built the tomb." Iron Sand Priest said.
Charmian nodded and confirmed the priest's words, "I asked Fugate to help with the prophecy a few years ago, and now the prophecy has already corresponded to part of it."
"Isn't Mr. Fugate dead?" everyone asked in surprise.
"Although he is dead, his power still exists." The priest of Iron Sand said, "Part of the power I use comes from myself, and the other part is borrowed from the great saint."
Everyone began to rest. After all, after a long battle, nothing is more important than rest.
Behind the iron sand dunes is part of the anti-sand wall front, so they can't relax even more.
Everyone rested here for a few days, and the remaining soldiers from the Palace of Folly and the Narrow Corridor of the Dead gathered here.
The endlessly fighting Colossus and the White Falcon Knights also appeared.
Many people in the White Falcon Knight have died, and the machine soul of the Colossus is also very tired due to lack of manpower.
In the end, the sentinel discovered that the huge disaster beast was coming, and everyone began to prepare for war.
"King of Sand~" The weapons of the sand people began to shine with the light of the elements, and the elves began to thirst for blood.
Under the leadership of the iron priest, all the sand people's priests were gathered together. They recited ancient blessings, which actually aroused Fugate's power.
The weather turned into a rainy day unconsciously, and this rain was not ordinary rain.
"This is? Six Water Magic Technique!?" Xia Mian said in surprise.
"The ability of Warcraft to travel through space has been restricted. Let's kill them all." The priests said even more shocking words.
However, it is a pity that the range covered by Fugate's power is a little small after all, and the Warcraft is not a brainless person.
When they found that they could not attack the Fugate Mausoleum, they chose to take a detour and allocated part of their forces to trap these people, just like they had done before.
······
"How long will it take for support to arrive?" Kulu asked helplessly, touching the crutch that had been broken into two sections.
"There are no reinforcements, Lord Kuru." A scholar from the Sheng Lun School said and tied a bandage tightly to a mercenary.
Although they were well prepared, the supplies were still somewhat insufficient.
"But speaking of it, Master Kuru is really getting stronger and stronger." The mercenary said with a toothy grin.
"Then withdraw to the water and sky jungle defense line, set up defenses along the way, and lead the large army of Warcraft there." Kulu said.
As for the commander, the commander is gone, and the Kavanyi front is now commanded by Kuru.
"What happened to the white swan knights of the ancient Tuhe country."
"There are heavy casualties, and the cultivator unit has been almost completely damaged, but the good news is that the Colossus is still okay, so we can retreat with the Colossus."
"Yes!"
······
"I'm old, I'm really old." Baanka was holding a cane in one hand and a knife in the other. There was already a very thick layer of monster corpses under his feet.
"Batu, are you still alive? Send me a cure."
The ice element exploded into ice mist, and the Forest King, Maomao Dahei, and Banka all breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are more and more monsters." A sad look appeared on the Forest King's face. "The maze is becoming more and more broken, otherwise there would not be so many monsters pouring in at once."
"I'm afraid we will die in the next wave."
"Meow meow~" Maomao Dahei disagreed.
"Okay, you're right." The Forest King couldn't help but said as he looked at the big black cat who had killed the second most people but was in the best condition.
This guy is indeed a transformed fighting machine. If nothing else, his physical strength is really bottomless.
"Hey~ Batu, do it again." Baanka shouted.
"Huh!?" Everyone noticed something was wrong.
Maomao Dahei was the first to rush into the pile of monsters and fiddle with a humanoid figure with more air coming out and less air coming in.
"Ahem~ After all, I have been in the battle formation for a long time. I am only here to treat diseases and save people. Ahem~ The sword skills have hindered you a lot." Batu patted the Eye of God, and instantly froze himself into powder and left a sentence: "Rather than be killed by the monster If you eat it, you might as well die immediately.”
Baanka is the one with the most combat experience among the apprentices besides Xia Mian. Even though he is fatter, his knife skills are better than Batu, the guy with the scalpel.
Fugate was a little surprised by Batu's death. After all, this guy was a healer, so why did he die so quickly?
However, this does not affect Fugate's ability to guide Batu.
Fugate's consciousness came to the pile of ice powder, quietly guided him, and then smiled at Baanca. The two of them disappeared into a starlight, and Baanca was dumbfounded.
The Forest King only thought that Baanca was too sad about this.
So he comforted: "It seems that our death is today."
Sure enough, in the subsequent wave of more violent monster attacks, the pressure on the two beasts without treatment suddenly increased sharply.
Then the Forest King completely detonated his power and buried more than half of the monsters. Baanka also completely exploded his rock elemental power, petrifying the remaining half of the monsters.
Baanka, the former richest man in Xumi and the largest philanthropist in history, passed away at the age of 167. Batu, the greatest doctor in Xumi and the lifelong honorary director of Xumi Health Home, passed away at the age of 160 Six years old.
The girl who was the king's valet was also very disappointed, not only because of the death of the Forest King and Baanka, but also because the magic machine of Faruna had been damaged.
After the dark monsters completed the destruction of Faluna's divine machine, they no longer poured in on a large scale, but a large number of monsters still passed by here.
"Meow meow~" Maomao Dahei was also very disappointed.
Suddenly it saw another person, Kuru.
"Meow meow?"
"Dahei~ Why are you here?" Kulu didn't know the arrangements for the others by King Dacishu.
"Meow meow~meow meow!"
"Oh~ It turns out that so many things have happened." Kuru said with emotion, "My two old friends also went to see their mentor. I don't know how long I can last."
Lightning flashed across the sky, and Shamian appeared here.
"It seems you had a good chat."
"Baanka and Batu are both dead," Kuru said.
"Well~ I 'saw' that I came here to avenge them."
"How's your defense going?" Kuru asked.
"The iron sand dunes are impregnable, and with Fugate's blessing there, it can be said that the monsters will die as many times as they go, even without me."
"So after I 'saw' their deaths, I came here." Sharmian said.
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that the mentor would build the mausoleum there."
"When the battle is over, you can go and pay your respects." Charmian said nonchalantly.
"You may not be able to live until then." Kulu said with a bitter smile. He had only exceeded the limit of human lifespan, and he had not transformed into an immortal species. His body's strength was already very weak.
Charmian left with Maomao, she needed Maomao's power.
They passed through the Port of Ormos and finally met local mercenaries and merchants who were resisting here.
There are also two original gods among them.
They obviously recognized Shamian, and after cooperating with Shamian to eliminate a large number of monsters, they saluted Shamian.
"Salute to you ~ the great Hermanubis II." The original god said.
This original god is not familiar with Xia Mian at first glance.
The one I am really familiar with should be the respected Mrs. Fogate.
"What's going on here." Charmian's spiritual power told her that the monsters that killed Baanka were here, but she couldn't find them, so she was going to ask the locals.
