Chapter 522 Crystal Sand City Wall(1/2)
In the gray space, Alberto looked at Odin who had just returned with a heavy expression.
"What's wrong? Didn't you get the coordinates?"
"got it."
"Then why do you have such an expression?"
Alberto swung his tail and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that individual life is too insignificant in the vast virtual world. Even the survival of an entire plane cannot make any waves. So what is the meaning of our hard work? Is it just to survive in the endless river?
Add a dispensable wave?"
"Haha, I can't give you a standard answer to your question about state of mind. After all, I'm just a will of the world without emotions."
"It doesn't look like you still drink."
Odin joked.
"Haha, you saw it. You know, I had never touched that thing before I met you."
"Oh~ why is that?"
Facing Odin's horns, Alberto twitched his lips helplessly.
"No reason."
"One day I want to drink, then I drink. If I can't drink, then I try my best to drink. If you ask me why I try hard, I can tell you it's because I want to drink.
But if you want to ask me why I want to drink, then I’m sorry, I just want to drink if I want to, there is no need to find a reason.”
"Every life will has its own light. Do you mind if they become waves, but do you know that they have never seen this river?"
Alberto's words are full of profound meaning. As the unique world will of the Ella continent, he has existed longer than the gods. If the Ella continent is not destroyed, it will not die.
Loneliness is his mission, and sleeping is his normal state.
If there wasn't something wrong with the plane crystal wall, maybe Alberto was a lazy Mother Earth just like people described in mythology.
"You're right. I think too much. It's only right to do the things in front of you."
Odin put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind. His character is destined not to be a sentimental person.
"That's right. According to the established plan, we are going to find the morning stars next. Wait a moment, they are not far away."
Buzz…
The world of Ella parked around the storm giant started up again. After just a few minutes, the trembling gray-white space stabilized, and Qiming-1 arrived.
"This is the first star you have connected to using the Ten Thousand Stars Meditation Method. Its core power is very low, so it is just right for your first attempt."
"What should I do?"
"It's very simple. I will send you up later. You open the star pillar channel to connect to it. Remember, you can only open the star power channel belonging to the Qiming Star. After opening the channel, absorb the star power with all your strength."
"What should I do if I can't absorb it?"
Pure star core power is not spiritual power. It is not as simple as inhaling it directly into the body. There is a process of refining and merging it with the main body's spiritual power, which is the so-called meditation practice.
As Odin said, the star core power he can refine at the same time is limited.
"I have slightly modified your Ten Thousand Stars Meditation Method. I have omitted the refining process and directly absorbed and fused it. Try your best to absorb as much as you can."
"Although direct fusion will increase mental power without an upper limit, it will be out of control..."
Odin wiped his sweat and felt that the violence was a little too much.
"Ahem ~ Of course, but I have other ways to solve this problem. Before I release the power of the star core, I will extract a small amount of your soul and inject it into the Qiming No. 1 star core, and then use a special method to turn the star core into your clone.
.”
"It sounds a bit complicated. Let me put it another way and you will understand. I turn the star core into you, and you are absorbing yourself. In this way, there is no problem of being out of control."
"good idea!"
Odin had to applaud Alberto's genius idea and found a new way to solve the difficulty of fusion.
They wanted to push Odin's peak mental power to over one million points within five months. Time was a bit tight, so one person and one snake quickly started planning.
Just like that, Lord Odin disappeared in Stone Castle. He was nowhere to be seen during the day and night, but he had already told his wives in advance that there was no need to worry.
………
Even as Odin stayed away from the disputes and silently absorbed star power, the development of the situation on the continent of Ayla never stopped.
August
The abyss demons that initially invaded the land did not rush forward. Instead, they used local materials to build a giant demon nest. Their tactics were exactly the same as those in the Elf Forest.
However, as the main force of the Abyss Vanguard and the sneak attacks of the Forest of Elves, their hard power is far beyond that of the same level in terms of quantity and quality.
The overwhelming monsters swept away all the resources that could be used by them. From the dimensional cracks in the Deep Sea Demonic Abyss, more powerful native demons continuously poured out to join in, filling the robbed land.
September
The Holy Light Legion of the human race has established a complete defense line at the borders of the coastal countries. This is the military force of the thirteen grand duchies of the human race and many small forces.
In the absence of a formal large-scale attack by the Abyss Legion, it temporarily blocked the advance of the Abyss. Because the strength of the Legion was uneven, it was difficult to say what would happen next.
Among them, the Thunder Legion, which guards the Cangyan section of the defense line on a mission to the Danube Principality, was the first to arrive at the defense line in an organized manner, and was the first to build a defensive fortification, the Crystal Sand City Wall.
The reason why it is called such a strange name is because this city wall is made of wood and soil.
If you directly use earth magic to build a rock wall, it will indeed be very strong, but it will consume too much. Even if you have a large number of earth magicians, you cannot support such consumption. However, ordinary soil is very soft, and it will collapse if it is too high.
Finally, the Holy Spirit Tower came forward and sent scholars who specialized in solving difficult and complicated diseases to develop a special kind of sandy soil, named crystal sand.
The characteristics of crystal sand are similar to the fine sand in the desert. It is harder than soil, but has no cohesion with each other. No matter how it is piled up, it will eventually become a plate of loose sand.
Crystal sand alone is not enough, it must be combined with tough roots forming a network.
On the whole, a large amount of crystal sand is forcibly held together by a dense plant root system. The ratio of wood to sand is 2:8. After a special network root structure, the strength is no less than that of rock.
Neither physical attacks nor magic attacks can effectively destroy the crystal sand city wall. This is entirely due to the special properties of crystal sand.
There are gaps invisible to the naked eye between each grain of crystal sand, which can effectively absorb physical kinetic energy and elemental impacts.
Even if this part of the root tentacles is destroyed and the crystal sand collapses and falls, the crystal sand itself still exists. When repairing it, only the earth magician and the wood magician need to work together to reattach this part of the crystal sand.
During this process, the magic power loss is extremely low, unless the intensity of the attack can directly destroy the crystal sand particles.
If that's the case, there's nothing to say. Tolerating damage is the meaning and value of the city wall.
The invention of the crystal sand city wall takes into account three aspects: construction cost, city wall strength, and repair loss, and redefines fortifications.
When the thirty-meter-high and twenty-meter-wide crystal sand city wall stood on the Cangyan defense line, all the principality legions could not believe their eyes. What was the concept? When soldiers stood on the city wall, it meant safety.
.
Some principalities even sent people to bribe the soldiers of the Thunder Legion and wanted to know how to build the crystal sand city wall.
After catching these spies from other countries, Otis was not angry. Instead, he called the leaders of other legions and generously shared the manufacturing method of the crystal sand city wall.
Of course, there is also the instruction from Stonehenge.
Although other countries may not be able to build such a high wall, as long as they have it, it is better than nothing. After all, with the current situation, there is no need to hide it.
On the Thunder Legion side, in addition to the super strong defenses of the Crystal Sand City Wall, there are also a variety of attack methods.
There are eight magic crystal cannons. Li Na took them from the Lion City at Odin's advice and made them mobile. They can be deployed on the city wall according to the battle situation, which is very convenient.
There are forty heavy bed crossbows, twenty of which were purchased from Lan Che. The Elf Royal Family also supported twenty blade-throwing crossbows. They were free of charge and they had to be returned after the war.
Finally, there are hundreds of catapults placed behind the city wall. The flint balls thrown in a parabola can hit monsters in a limited range and reduce the attack density.
In addition, under Li Na's order, smelting workshops across the Danube River were activated to specifically refine consumables for these weapons.
Not only has the Danube River entered a state of war readiness, but the nine and twelve months are an important beginning for the entire human race to mobilize their potential and concentrate their efforts to fight against monsters.
The east coastline is very long. In addition to 70% occupied by humans, 30% is in the territory of polar barbarians, so some monsters also go there.
Fortunately, the barbarians are located in the north, and the demons don't like the cold environment. The number of demons going there is less than 10% of the total. Logically speaking, the barbarians can handle it.
October
Both humans and demons are competing for time.
While they are busy building fortifications and hoarding troops to make the defense line stronger, they are also searching for resources to build demon nests and flesh carpets. This is the demon's transformation of the environment, making the continent of Ella more suitable for their actions.
Only the higher the degree of abyssalization and the more abundant the demonic energy, the higher the level of abyssal monsters can come. The final outcome of the war will ultimately be determined by top combat power. There is no doubt about this.
So starting from this month, the human legion took the initiative to attack based on the defense line. Not to be outdone, the major legions wanted to clear the monsters in their respective principalities in advance.
The effect was pretty good at the beginning, killing a lot of scattered monsters and even capturing a demon general level being.
But the good times did not last long. This advantage did not last long. The victorious Tiana Iron-Blooded Army was led into the encirclement by monster baits, and was almost wiped out by a large number of monsters. Only less than 40% of the soldiers broke through and escaped.
The tragic defeat served as a wake-up call to all the principality legions, making them realize that these monsters were not meat on the chopping block, but chess pieces commanded by the demon lord behind the scenes.
In the following time, the cleanup operations of various legions were much more restrained. There was one exception, and that was the Thunder Legion, which attracted a lot of attention.
The Thunder Legion was so confident that they could attack with their entire army, leaving only a small number of people to guard the city wall.
Of course, with self-confidence and self-confidence, the Thunder Legion has the smallest number among all countries, but the quality is the highest, and the diversity of arms cannot be matched by other countries.
