Chapter 238 The Ancient Red Dragon
Sent away the female lord of Arabe City, Brian quickly returned to the top of the Wizard Tower.
This is the command room and the core of the entire tower.
At this moment, his two apprentices, Olanke and Sissi, have been waiting here for a long time.
"What's the specific situation?" He looked at Ms. Polaris beside him. She was wearing a conservative dark purple dress, and a touch of solemnity appeared on her translucent and beautiful face.
"A large number of humanoid creatures emerged in the distant sea swamps and goblin frontiers to the west of Mokou Town, mainly lizardmen, goblins, jackals and hobgoblins." Ms. Polaris said: "The orcs in the Stormhorn Mountains They also moved closer to Watch Castle and Crisis Rock Castle."
"It seems this is not a coincidence," Brian whispered to himself.
Watch Castle is where he inspected the place with Priest Kalena a few months ago, and after convincing the druids of the Emerald Court, with the assistance of many mountain dwarves, stone giants and the fire dwarves he sent , was completed a month ago.
If either of the two fortresses, Warden Castle and Crisis Rock Castle, is breached, the villages and towns within the territory of Mokou Town will encounter the ravages of the orc army.
Obviously, these orcs also understand this.
"It is indeed not a coincidence, it is more like they calculated it in advance." Ms. Polaris said, "I have followed your instructions and notified Balerius, who is responsible for defending Mokou Town, and Salo, who is stationed at Watch Fort, to let them Prepare for battle in advance."
"However, this is not the most worrying thing," she continued, "We still want to think about how to deal with the coming ancient red dragon."
"Is there any news from Ghost City?" Brian asked again.
If it were an ancient red dragon alone, he would not be afraid at all.
What he is most worried about is the ancient red dragon that attacks the wizard tower with the cooperation of a group of spellcasters.
"Their traces have been found." Ms. Polaris replied.
“This group of ghost mages is hiding deep in the Mokou Mountains. The specific number is not yet clear. According to my speculation, they are likely to assist the ancient red dragon in attacking the wizard tower.”
"It's an obvious thing." Brian didn't try to take any chances.
"Taling No. 2, scan the ancient red dragon."
He sat on a chair and looked at a gold-plated pedestal engraved with runes, on which suspended a 20cm diameter crystal ball.
Ever since Lady Polaris suggested to him that he create multiple tower spirits, his wizard tower had two extra tower spirits.
This is a natural artificial intelligence made by activating the core of the legendary soul crystal.
Although they have no independent consciousness, they have more than 25 points of intelligence and can assist him in calculating and understanding many complex commands and operations.
The most important thing is that she is not as noisy as Ms. Polaris. She is mainly responsible for obeying orders and fully cooperates with the manager of the Wizard Tower.
And his two tower spirits are trained by Ms. Polaris, and they perform their respective duties.
Taling No. 1 is responsible for combat command, and No. 2 acts as a combat assistant. The relationship between the two is like the configuration of a sniper and an observer.
"The ancient red dragon 35 kilometers away from here is being scanned." In the command room of the wizard tower, a cold mechanical voice sounded:
"Create a three-dimensional model..."
< br>"The ancient red dragon data scan is completed!"
The top of the wizard tower appeared with a little light golden light, and the many shining stones surrounded by the violet spire suddenly appeared blurry. Groups of light, they circle around the top of the tower.
A buzzing sound sounded, and an almost invisible light suddenly spread out.
At the same time, in front of Brian, in a crystal ball suspended above the pedestal, a three-dimensional model exactly like the ancient red dragon appeared.
His swept-back horns and crown of thorns clearly outline an old and terrifying face. The nostrils protruding from the end of his snout are constantly spitting out smoke. When he spreads his wings and soars, the tips of his broad dragon wings flicker like metal burning. of blue flame.
Dense data, like jumping bytes, appears below the model.

.........
This is a concept scan that Brian combined with his own system and asked Ms. Polaris to research. Its purpose is to obtain the enemy's specific ability data to prepare a targeted battle plan. .
From the simple data scanned out, it can be seen that this ability needs to be further improved.
However, now is not the time to consider these issues, but to prepare to face the speeding ancient red dragon.
"Warning! Warning!"
At this moment, the mechanical cold alarm sound of Talling 2 sounded:
"Unknown biological invasion detected!"
"Detecting..."
"Detecting Finished!"
"In the northeast, traces of legendary professionals were found in the Mokou Mountains within 94 kilometers of Mokou Town."
As soon as he finished speaking, a magical aura floated on a dark blue crystal screen embedded in the wall of the command room, and the Mokou Mountains, dominated by wasteland and rocks, appeared before everyone's eyes.
As the screen scene gradually expanded, Brian saw seven spellcasters in black robes, who had just passed the teleportation spell and were about to disappear.
“A three-dimensional real-time model is being built...”
“The unknown biological data scan is completed!”
In the crystal ball, seven blurry images are constructed one after another. Finish.
From the scanned data, nothing else is known except their approximate level.
Obviously, compared to the ancient red dragons, these spellcasters are better at hiding their information by avoiding detection spells.
Despite this, Brian still learned their approximate data.
All of these seven people are ghosts transformed from humans, and their occupation is also the shadow magic network mentor. Except for one legendary ghost mage whose strength has reached level 22, the other caster occupations are all Keep it around 15~19.
"It seems that the City of Shadows and the Dragon Cult should focus their attack on Arabe City." Brian guessed the enemy's intention.
Otherwise, there is no way that Hajhorna, Severin, the red-robed wizard, and the devil from Baator Hell would have never appeared from the beginning to the end.
They must think that compared to the threat to themselves, the female lord of Arabe City is still a bigger threat.
If this is the case, Brian must solve the current battle as quickly as possible. He still understands the meaning of death and coldness.
"Get ready to fight, Ms. Polaris, open the psychic network." Brian quickly gave the battle instructions to everyone. Olanke and Sissi, who were standing behind him, immediately sat down in their respective seats, staring closely at the crystal ball placed in front of them and the rows of complicated spell circuits on the table.
Although the Wizard Tower has two tower spirits to assist in the operation, human operation and the assistance of the tower spirits are the most correct methods.
This is just like playing games. When faced with simple tasks, you only need to turn on the automatic to complete them. If you encounter a strong enemy, you will naturally need to manually operate with the help of the tower spirit to complete each task. A crucial link.
Hearing Brian's instructions, Ms. Polaris stretched out her hand without hesitation.
A magical light flashed.
The invisible spiritual network emerges in everyone's mind. This is a terrifying ability that only great arcane masters who specialize in the spiritual field can master.
She is able to connect everyone's spiritual consciousness together to form a super spiritual network with her as the core.
To put it simply, the current Wizard Tower system is a two-dimensional control, but if Ms. Polaris completes the psychic network, it will be a three-dimensional control.
The battle scene presented in front of everyone is also three-dimensional, which allows them to view the battle situation as if they are personally there, even if they are staying in the wizard tower.
The moment the psychic network was opened, Brian realized that the ancient red dragon coming from the Sunset Mountains was about to arrive in the sky above Mokou Town.
"...Warning! Warning!"
The mechanical cold alarm sound of Talling No. 2 sounded again:
"The Mokou Town Forbidden Air Field Array is suffering man-made damage!"
"Does it need to be repaired with all efforts?"
“Give up!”
Brian gave the order without hesitation: “Withdraw the forbidden air field formation voluntarily!”
This is just an ordinary air-forbidden magic circle. It only plays a symbolic role. It is not a strategic magic circle to reverse the situation. As long as a mid-level or above spellcaster comes in, it can be lifted.
Therefore, in order not to consume too much energy of the wizard tower, it is the most correct choice to actively withdraw the magic circle.
The fundamental reason why he did not remove the magic circle at the first time was to allow his opponents to lock their position when they tried to break the magic circle.
This is like a fish trying to break through a fishing net. It will definitely make ripples in the calm water.
As the order was issued, many wizards on the ninth floor of the wizard tower, led by the moon elf mage Ru Yin, instantly received the order.
This is the second operations room of the Wizard Tower. Their duty is to cooperate with the war room on the top floor to complete many tasks such as repair and protection, similar to logistics personnel.
As early as Brian successfully perfected the Wizard Tower, he and Ms. Polaris deduced many tactics for the Wizard Tower's external combat and protection.
And these mages are the most qualified candidates selected after repeated exercises.
Just like this, the moment the order was given, a golden elf mage with strength around the middle level immediately stretched out his slender and dexterous fingers and placed in front of him a dark blue card engraved with rune circuits. The crystal panel moved rapidly.
Every time he moves, wherever his fingertips touch, strong rune marks will flash.
In the end, these marks were connected end to end, like a greedy snake biting its own tail, rising up from the crystal panel, condensing into a small metal ball with silver luster, and being solemnly put away.
At the same time, an almost invisible ripple flashed over the entire Mokou Town, announcing that the forbidden air circle had been lifted.
"The forbidden air formation has been successfully withdrawn, report completed!" Ru Yin immediately transmitted the message to the command system at the top of the wizard tower through telepathy.
"The location of the ghost mages has been locked, located in the southeast direction of the wizard tower, with coordinates x23, y125." The voice of Tower Spirit No. 2 sounded, "Do you need to execute other orders?"
Hearing the coordinates reported by the tower spirit, Brian immediately realized that these casters were less than 1 kilometer away from his position.
"Ignore them for now." He said calmly, "Sissi is responsible for monitoring the actions of this group of people."
Right now, he still doesn't know what means this group of people use to deal with the Wizard Tower, so when it comes to Under the premise that the safety of the entire Mokou Town was in danger, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being due to cautious considerations.
"Received!"
Sissi nodded, closed her eyes, and touched a crystal ball in front of her.
Suddenly, under the influence of the psychic network constructed by Ms. Polaris, the three-dimensional images of the ghost mages were clearly presented in her mind, and she was closely monitoring them.
At this moment, as the forbidden air formation was lifted, the ancient red dragon appeared in the sky above Mokou Town without any hindrance, casting a large suffocating figure.
The crowd on the street was so frightened that they screamed and ran in panic towards any bunker they could hide in.
"Roar!..."
With the dragon's resounding roar, the dragon's majesty, born from the blood of a real dragon, suddenly spread around his body. Come on.
In an instant, the fleeing crowd and the guards who were trying to maintain order were all weak, and they were lying on the ground shivering like wheat.
——"Supernatural ability: Breath of Fire!"
The unscrupulous ancient red dragon spread out its wide dragon wings, like a bomber, stretched its neck and dived at low altitude, and the dragon flames that had been brewing for a long time in its mouth spurted out close to the ground. And out.
As he flew rapidly at low altitude, the scorching dragon flames instantly submerged a street in Mokou Town. A group of civilians closest to the dragon flames turned into ashes and disappeared before they could scream. trace.
“Use sapphire pulse rays!”
Through the spiritual network, Brian watched the tragedy in Mokou Town as if he was personally there, and calmly gave instructions.
"Start preparing the sapphire pulse ray!" Tower Spirit No. 1, who is responsible for directing the battle, said coldly.
At the same time, on the ninth floor of the wizard tower, a thin human wizard immediately took out an expensive sapphire and threw it into the center of the rune circle.
The moment the sapphire fell into the center of the magic circle, a dark blue light suddenly burst out and condensed into a point, quickly running up along the traces of the shining crystal.
The originally crystal clear gem turned into a handful of inconspicuous powder when the magic energy was exhausted.
"Sapphire pulse rays are ready!"
The cold mechanical sound of Talling 1 sounded:
"Calibrating the target..."
"The target has been locked!"
"Launch!"
At the very top of the wizard tower, on the violet spire, there is an inconspicuous dark purple crystal column, only as thick as a thumb. With a faint flash of light, a terrifying dark blue energy condenses and takes shape.
In an instant!
A dark blue light beam burst out. Under the bright sunshine, the pulse energy wave glowed with light blue luster, streaking through the void at the speed of light, and instantly hit the ancient red dragon.
The terrifying pulse energy wave, with an unstoppable attitude, hit the ancient red dragon's metallic luster, strong and thick crimson scales, and pierced a blood hole as big as a fist in his buttocks.
The warm dragon's blood, glowing with light blue magical energy, poured down from the sky like rain.
The giant dragon let out a shrill wail that could pierce the eardrums, and the broad flapping dragon wings stiffened due to the sudden severe pain. The dragon's body convulsed and shook, and it almost fell to the ground.
With a roar mixed with pain and anger, the ancient red dragon turned its body with its tail between its legs and rushed towards the wizard tower.
