While Bai Huo was exchanging information with her fellow demon hunters about the battle situation on the front line, Hao Ren and Lily looked at the ruined palaces floating in the void in the distance, and Nangong May, who was standing next to them, noticed it and curiously poked the arms of the two people with her tail: "What are you two looking at?"
”Hao Ren let May poke back to his senses, and suddenly forgot what he was thinking about just now, he grabbed his hair: "Uh......
It's okay, but it always feels a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.Could it be......
The style of Holleta somewhere?
”Vivien's eyes narrowed suddenly: "Architecture from the Magic Empire?!"
This is also possible, after all, even an entire planet like 'Purgatory' can be blown up. ”After speaking, she glanced at Lily again: "The landlord is thinking about things, so forget it, how can you learn to be serious like a heartless person?"
”Before Lily could say anything, Hao Ren next to her replied: "Nonsense, you can just go find a husky to see, do they have a serious expression when they are in a daze!"
”Vivien wanted to ask something more, but just as she was about to speak, a strong flash of light suddenly burst out from afar, followed by a loud bang that was more deafening than thunder.Everyone looked in horror, only to see a floating stone platform about a kilometer away suddenly burst into flames, after that loud noise, a large number of magic bullet flashes like a rainstorm around the stone platform flashed, faintly you can see countless figures shuttle between those flashes, flames and lightning reflect a large number of broken buildings around the stone platform, it is a fierce attack.In the center of the stone platform was a half-collapsed temple, the top of which shone like a torch, and a huge shield shrouded the entire platform, withstanding the continuous external bombardment.There were constantly demon hunter warriors coming out of the temple to meet the enemy, but due to the distance and the interference of the explosion, Hao Ren couldn't see what the battle was going on there, but just by looking at him from a distance, he could realize that there was a fierce battle there - the full-scale soldier melee between the witchers was no less powerful than the saturated firepower of the human thermal weapon era!"
The assault on the Temple of Darsu has started again," said one of the witcher warriors, gritting his teeth, "since yesterday, their attacks have doubled, and now there is a wave of attacks almost every hour - the temple's crystals don't know how long they can last." ”Nangong Sanba subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand: "Don't you want to help?"
”"This platform is more important here, we have to defend the control center of the Star Tower first," Bai Huo tried to suppress his feelings, "and they will attack this side at any time, and with a lack of manpower, everyone can only fight on their own."
Come with me, I'll take you to the makeshift command post first. ”Led by the defenders, the group quickly moved off the platform, and they made their way up a series of shattered stairs and ramps that floated in the air, experiencing discontinuous gravity and bizarre upside-down paths, a wonderful experience for Hao Ren and Lily, at least for Hao Ren and Lily.Eventually, they came to a small palace floating in mid-air.Compared to the other dilapidated palace ruins, the small palace that had been used as a makeshift command post appeared relatively intact, with only part of its exterior walls cracked and part of the palace's superstructure reduced to crumbling debris floating in the air.A large number of demon hunter warriors guarded the palace, and Hao Ren saw that there were many floating rune stones and ballista-like weapons placed in the open space near the building, which were obviously the large weapons of the demon hunters.After seeing many of the Witchers' individual equipment, he finally saw the large weapons they used during the Mythical Wars.The interior of the palace was empty, and it once seemed to be a place of sacrifice, but now that all ceremonial supplies have been emptied, the remaining open space has become a busy command center.Hao Ren saw a group of small things with exquisite structures floating in the center of the main hall, which was the location of the various palace towers in the Colpers space, they were vivid and lifelike, floating in mid-air according to the operation laws of those real buildings, and some witcher warriors were walking around this special set of "sand tables", constantly integrating the battle reports of the front line and passing on instructions.An extraordinarily tall dark-skinned man stood next to the levitating model, none other than Tutankin, who had recently withdrawn from the front line."
Bai Huo, I'm glad to see you safe and sound," Tutanin nodded slightly to Bai Huo, and then his gaze fell on Hao Ren and his party, "I already understand the situation, thank you for coming to help regardless of past suspicions and factions." ”"I don't have a faction difference with you, but it doesn't matter," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Who will explain to me what this model means?"
”"These are the remnants of the buildings floating in the Colpers space," White Fire pointed to the elaborate models, "Palaces are the main garrison points and engagement areas, they can create a strong protective barrier to block the layers of foreign enemies, and they are also management facilities that control the flow of energy, and these white towers are usually the energy nodes - and the main targets of contention, they are basically attached to large buildings to operate, so the Elder Order usually attacks the nearest palace first when fighting for these nodes.This is where we are now......"
Bai Huo pointed to the model of the Star Tower at the bottom of the sand table: "This is the 'bottom' of Colpers Space.And the Presbyterian Order is in this position above......
The Spiritual Clock Tower, the most heavily defended place in Colpers. ”Looking in the direction of Bai Huo's finger, at the top of all the buildings was a strange spire with a complex structure and asymmetrical shape, the spire was suspended alone in the open area between a pile of floating buildings, Hao Ren looked closely, and found that this tower was the only one standing still in the entire system of Colpers ruins.And between the Spirit Clock Tower and the Star Tower, there is a vast void space and countless floating palace and fortress ruins, countless fragments of electric light jumping between these models, showing a situation of stalemate and melee on the front line."
Can't you just cross these palaces and attack the Spirit Bell Tower?"
Hao Ren pointed to the large space between the suspended palaces, "How about sending some elites over and beheading them directly?"
”As soon as he made this suggestion, the surrounding demon hunters shook their heads, and Tutanin sighed, "You don't understand this system.The palaces appear to be empty between them, but in fact they have intricate defenses, and invisible spatial vortices are everywhere, which can only be closed by capturing nodes to rush.Moreover, Colpers' energy nodes together maintain a barrier on the outside of the Spirit Clock Tower, which is almost invincible. ”Tutain said as he pointed to the torch-shaped towers that floated between the palaces, the power nodes.There are dozens of such nodes throughout the Colpers space, and they continuously transmit powerful power to the Spirit Clock Tower, maintaining the so-called "invincible shield", and if all these nodes fall into the hands of the Elder Order, their power can even activate some kind of ancient weapon at the top of the Spirit Clock Tower, instantly destroying all enemies, and even any city on Earth.“…… There are no vulnerabilities in this system?
”Hao Ren touched his chin, almost reflexively trying to find a shortcut, "For example, after closing some palaces, there will be system errors and the like......
Bai Huo immediately shook his head: "So far, we haven't found this kind of loophole." ”"Didn't find it?!"
Itzax immediately heard the words, "Didn't you build these defenses?"
”"These defenses existed long before the witchers made Colpers their base," Tutannin said slowly, "they were something that was already in this space, incredibly powerful, far beyond our control.The elders have spent thousands of years exploring the secrets of this space, but in the end, they can only borrow their power according to the established rules of these relics. ”Bai Huo had already mentioned before that the Colpers space was not built by the witchers, but Hao Ren didn't expect that even the defense system in it was left by the ancients.He looked around at the high-walled hall around him, and that strange sense of immediacy came to his mind again: "......
How strong is that 'invincible shield'?
”"There is no point in asking this question, because by far the most powerful force on this planet has not been able to leave a single scratch on the surface of the Spirit Clock Tower," Tutin shrugged, then tapped the ground under his feet with his toes, "not even this ruined palace beneath our feet can shake a brick and a half with the thunder of Zeus or the artillery of modern humans." ”Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Bai Huo added faintly beside him: "Do you know why we didn't repair these ruins?
Because we can't even cut those melted tiles and crooked skeletons out of the rubble. ”At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
