The ancient empire is senile and dying, while the nascent federation roars with steam. The slumbering gods are gradually awakening, and some giant beasts that disappeared in ancient times are slowl...
Chapter 414 Twin Displacement
At this time, the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform was also busy.
The super-strong energy fluctuation just now naturally alarmed everyone present.
"Marshal, should we send Lord Huntington there immediately?" General Augustus said with a serious face.
Alfred stared at the projection of the imperial capital Tamriel on the wall at this moment. He saw a deep red bright spot on the shore of the Falling Star Lake, emitting circles of red energy fluctuations.
And one after another orange bright spots, centered on the imperial capital Tamriel, lit up one by one.
These orange light spots were irregularly distributed in the suburbs more than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. There were three spots in the west and only one spot in the north.
The above projection effect relies on a large-scale monitoring magic array covering the imperial capital Tamriel and the suburbs.
The monitoring magic array can display the intensity of energy fluctuations in real time on the projection and distinguish them with different colors.
Of course, the legendary masters who have reported and left their own unique aura will not be included in the monitoring scope. Only unknown auras or combat energy fluctuations will be monitored.
Orange means that the opponent's energy fluctuations have reached the legendary peak.
Red means that the opponent's energy fluctuations have reached the epic level!
Deep red means strong epic level!
Alfred thought about Augustus's suggestion for a while, shook his head, and said:
"No, wait a minute, Lord Huntington's duty is to protect the astrologer platform."
"Augustus, contact the Imperial Guards and let them deal with it. In addition, report the situation to the royal family immediately."
Orders were issued from Alfred in an orderly manner.
The scene gradually calmed down from the initial chaos.
Alfred knew very well that his duty this time was to command the actions in the secret realm, not to be responsible for the safety of the imperial capital, or in other words, the safety of the imperial capital was in the charge of the corresponding people.
Huntington was the only epic master under his command who could be mobilized at any time. He would not use him unless it was an emergency.
At this time, an old voice sounded at the door of the command hall:
"Alfred, Augustus, I can feel that a god's avatar has arrived. The other party has used great power to open the transmission channel that we just connected to the secret realm."
The person who came was the great astrologer Dallion.
"What!" Marshal Alfred was rarely shocked and quickly stood up.
If the attack on the imperial capital did not worry him, the words of the great astrologer Dallion just now really shocked him.
Because the defense of the imperial capital was the responsibility of his colleagues, and the commander of the battle in the secret realm was him.
"Sir Dallion, could it be that the god's avatar directly entered the secret realm of Dragon Valley?" Augustus on the side asked anxiously.
The great astrologer Dallion shook his head and said, "No, even gods cannot violate the power of law."
"I guess that the other party opened the transmission channel and sent the legendary cultists under their command into the secret realm to wreak havoc."
Alfred calmed down, thought for a while, and nodded, "On this point, I agree with Lord Dallion. The other party's target is likely to be the teenage dragons in the secret realm. This is to cause a fault in the dragons!"
The Dragun Empire was founded on dragons. If the dragons were broken, it would be equivalent to cutting off the roots of the empire.
"Lord Dallion, can you use astrology to check the situation in the secret realm now?" Augustus bowed slightly and said.
"The transmission channel has been disturbed, and the secret realm has been disturbed by energy. I can't check it before the disturbance calms down." The great astrologer Dallion shook his head and said.
"This..."
"Sword bearer, do you have any recent information about the dynamics of the legendary cult?" Dallion asked.
"Yes, Lord Dallion, the Secret Snake Cult's 'Twin Snakes' and the Black Flame Cult." Major General Tatia reported at the right time.
At this time, the great astrologer Dallion looked at the projection map on the wall and said, "If all the people mentioned just now have entered the secret realm, there will be eight people. There should be some we don't know."
"I suggest that on the one hand, we should notify the people in the secret realm as soon as possible and let them know that the cultists have entered the secret realm."
"Secondly, we should block this transmission channel as soon as possible."
"Tatia, immediately inform all the people in the secret realm of the situation and remind them to be careful." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.
"Keep contacting the captains of the three teams and tell me as soon as there is news."
Although the personnel sent this time are all top-notch powerhouses at the legendary level of the empire, since the cult is well prepared, it is naturally impossible to deal with them easily.
In addition, what he is most worried about is the three 'rift closers'. If they fall into the hands of the cult, it will be a big trouble.
"Yes, sir!" Tatia saluted and turned away quickly.
A few minutes ago.
In a manor in the town of Tavlin, on the outskirts of the imperial capital of Tamriel.
The second-floor main building in the manor suddenly emitted a strong energy fluctuation, which seemed to be concealed, but this kind of intensity of fluctuation could not be concealed by ordinary witch formations.
In addition, the owner of this place did not seem to think about how to conceal it.
In the basement of the main building, a group of black-robed people surrounded two gray-robed people and were performing some kind of witchcraft ritual.
On the ground of the basement, there was a witch formation with complex lines flashing green light.
At this moment, the witch formation was getting brighter and brighter, as if it was running at full capacity.
Above the witch formation, a dark green fist-sized crystal floated up and down in the air, and the degree of energy concentration was so tight that it could be seen with the naked eye.
"Pop!"
Suddenly, the crystal exploded, and a three or four-meter-high water mirror suddenly appeared above the witch formation.
Through the mirror, one can vaguely see the bright starry sky, dense forests, and various flying creatures like small black dots on the opposite side.
At this time, two graceful gray-robed figures in front of the black-robed people looked at each other, smiled slightly, and walked into the mirror hand in hand.
The two were the "twin snakes" Erida and the sisters of the Secret Snake Cult.
"Sir Aurelian, this place is left to you." Erida paused for a moment before stepping in and turned around.
"My two lords, please rest assured that we will fight to the last moment!" The old man named Aurelian said respectfully.
Hearing the old man's statement, Erida nodded with satisfaction, holding her sister Aurelia's hand, and stepped into the mirror at the same time.
As the two disappeared into the mirror, a few seconds later, the energy of the witch array seemed to be exhausted and dimmed in an instant.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" The old man named Aurelian immediately said solemnly.
The transmission fluctuation just now will inevitably cause a quick reaction from the empire. They may not be able to resist it, but death is a return to the kingdom of God, which is not terrible.
In addition, this is also a necessary part of the plan.
"Yes, sir." The black robes next to him responded one after another and quickly began to act.
Similar scenes occurred in multiple locations in the suburbs of the imperial capital.
In fact, if you can compare it with the real-time monitoring map of the astrologer platform command center, you can easily find that these locations are the locations of the orange light spots that appear one after another in the monitoring map. In
the secret realm of Dragon Valley.
Ryan only felt a dizzy and weightless, and then he found himself suddenly appearing above a dense forest, and his body began to fall rapidly.
"Floatation."
With the use of the floating technique, Ryan slowly descended from the air like a feather, and he also took this opportunity to look around.
Although it was night in the secret realm, the bright starlight and the special luminous creatures allowed Ryan to clearly observe the surrounding situation.
The first thing that caught his eyes was a primeval forest scene like the Jurassic period below, and there were all kinds of huge and primitive birds, pterodactyls and countless huge insects in the sky.
At the same time, all kinds of insects and birds were chirping and beasts were roaring.
"No wonder the dragons here can grow several times faster than those in the outside world. The 'blood food' in this place is too rich. There is no worry about food and drink."
"Huh? This is..." Ryan's eyes narrowed suddenly. He noticed some strange phenomena in the air.
In addition to the stars in the night sky, there are many strange things similar to cyclones of different sizes, and the colors are constantly changing. There seem to be more of them on the mountains in the distance.
"Could it be that this is the void rift?"
Ryan looked around. Under the illumination of the starry sky, there was a circle of towering mountains in the distance, and on the right side, there was a smoky Flame Mountain.
"Primitive forest, Flame Mountain."
Ryan thought for a while, and after a little association with the introduction of the Dragon Valley Secret Realm he had checked before, he immediately judged that he should be in the west of the center of the basin.
"This feeling."
As he slowly landed on the ground, Ryan keenly noticed that the secret realm seemed to be radiating a certain energy everywhere.
If it was before crystallization, he might have had a hard time perceiving it.
But at this moment, Ryan could clearly feel that the forest was filled with some strange radiation, and this radiation seemed to have some kind of benign changes to his body, as if the cells in his body were more active.
Just now, he thought that the reason why the young dragons in the secret realm could grow so quickly was because of the abundance of "blood food".
But now it seems that this may not be the case.
More reasons should be due to this strange radiation energy.
The effect of this energy is like the use of special light radiation in the laboratory in the previous life to enhance the photosynthesis of vegetables and accelerate their growth.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a vibration sound came from Ryan's side, the sound came from far away and quickly became louder!
"Chi!"
The hardened fine gold in Ryan's hand instantly transformed into a long sword, and with a flash of silver arc light, it split the creature that had just attacked him into two halves.
"Pah!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded!
It was a dragonfly more than one meter long. After being split in half, the nervous system of the remains was still working instinctively, and the limbs and wings were twitching on the ground.
"Not bad strength. Although it is not a ferocious species, it has extraordinary speed and strength close to that of a formal knight."
"This should also be the mutation effect of radiation, right?" Ryan thought to himself.
At this time, Ryan suddenly thought of something, and took out the thin-sheet communicator that Major General Tatia had given him before.
On the thin sheet, three small round bright spots were clearly shown, three small triangles distributed in an equilateral triangle, and a small square.
Ryan knew that the three small round bright spots were the three "rift closers" that Tatia mentioned.
At present, the mission executors should each be carrying three "rift closers" and moving towards the predetermined target - the direction of the three small triangles.
Under normal circumstances, the sign of mission completion is that the three small round bright spots will enter a triangular virtual frame respectively. After the rift closer is activated, the small round bright spots and the triangular virtual frame will disappear at the same time.
Obviously, when the three small round bright spots and the three triangular virtual frames disappeared, the mission was successfully completed.
Ryan observed for a while and found that the three small round bright spots were indeed heading towards different triangular virtual frames without stopping. This made him nod slightly.
"Now it seems that everything should be going well, and there is no order from the headquarters."
"In this case, I can go get the golem first, and then do the retest task - get as many dragon language marks as possible."
The squares shown on the sheet were the two improved hellfire golems that Tatia arranged for Ryan and were transmitted synchronously.
Ryan looked at the direction and found that it was not far from him, only a few kilometers away.
Moreover, it was in the same direction as his destination - the Flame Mountain area in the center of the Dragon Valley.
"Very good, on the way."
Ryan had already thought about it before coming.
He planned to give priority to obtaining the dragon language mark of the Red Dragon's descendants.
Therefore, it is natural to go to the Red Dragon's descendants' favorite living environment, and the volcanic area with high temperature and scorching heat is their favorite environment.
As for the reason, there are two points.
First, red dragons are good at fire magic, and Ryan first learned fire magic, which is second only to metal magic in terms of elemental affinity and familiarity.
Second, the red dragon's breath is the hottest among the five-colored dragons, which is suitable for him to smelt metal ores and make alloys.
In this regard, even the metal magic that Ryan is good at cannot completely replace the most basic ore smelting steps.
Just as Ryan was moving quickly towards the Flame Mountain in the central area of the Dragon Valley Secret Realm, he suddenly felt the communication sheet placed on his chest vibrate.
Ryan took out the sheet and looked at it, and was immediately surprised.
Only two lines of words were displayed on the sheet:
"All personnel, level one alert! Several cults, including the Seagod Cult, the Black Flame Cult, the Secret Snake Cult, and the Limb Reattachment Cult, have interfered with and sent many legendary fighters into the secret realm through the transmission channel."
"A new task has been added: eliminate the cultists, and at the same time, protect the underage dragons in the secret realm as much as possible."
"The cult has also entered the secret realm?"
"How did they get in?"
But soon, Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about this question.
He was not proficient in the knowledge related to the transmission array, and this was not the time to think about this problem.
In addition, he immediately thought of the previous intelligence.
At that time, the Sword Bearer Headquarters also reminded him that the legendary strongmen of the Secret Snake Cult and the Black Flame Cult seemed to be heading to the vicinity of the imperial capital Tamriel, and he was likely to be the other party's target.
But now it seems that the other party's such a large-scale action should target the Dragon Valley Secret Realm, not him.
After thinking about it, Ryan felt that he should test the signal of the communication device.
As he injected a bit of mental power, Ryan whispered: "Command Hall, this is Ryan, please reply if you receive it."
After a few seconds, there was no news.
Ryan tried again: "Command Hall, this is Ryan, please reply if you receive it."
"Hiss!"
A noisy sound came, which seemed to be a reply from the command hall, but it was strongly interfered with by some kind of interference, making it completely indistinguishable.
This immediately made Ryan frown slightly.
Suddenly, he felt a violent energy fluctuation appear in the sky more than a hundred meters in front of him.
Ryan immediately looked up and saw that the sky in front of him suddenly opened a gap, as if a painting with the theme of the starry sky was suddenly torn apart, and then quickly healed.
And two graceful gray-robed figures holding hands appeared in the air 20 to 30 meters high.
"Huh? This is..."
"Interesting."
Ryan looked at the other party's obvious female figure and the hand-holding action, raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of something.
"Speak of the devil, the devil will appear!" Ryan thought to himself.
Ereda and Alida, the two girls, stood still in the air, looking around, their eyes bright.
"Sister, is this the secret realm of Dragon Valley? It is said to be the most important secret realm of the Dragun Empire. I am so excited when I think about killing those underage dragons!" said the younger sister Alida with a little excitement.
"Sister, don't take it lightly. Even underage dragons are very powerful." The elder sister Ereda was a little more stable, smiled slightly, and reminded.
"Yeah, I am here!" Alida took Ereda's hand and said coquettishly.
"Sister, then you say, where should we start killing first?"
"How about the red dragon? There should be a lot of red dragon descendants on the Flame Mountain over there, which is very close." Ereda saw the Flame Mountain on the side at a glance and said.
"Okay! I can do anything!"
"Hey, sister, look, why are there two golems there?" At this time, Alida, who slowly landed on the ground, pointed to an impact crater not far away and said in surprise.
Inside the impact crater, there were two metal golems that were six or seven meters tall and had short and thick gun barrels on their shoulders.
At this moment, the two golems were standing back to back in the crater, and they were tied together by a hinge.
This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of the elder sister Erida.
"From the witch patterns and metal color on the surface, it seems that they are not ancient golems, but brand new golems that were just made not long ago." The elder sister Erida took a quick look and asked in confusion.
"Hey, sister, do you mean that they were carried by those who came before us?"
"It's very likely."
At this moment, the younger sister Erida also became interested and stepped forward to check.
"Sister, do you think we can control these two golems?"
"Look, there are two of us, just enough for one!"
"As a lady, it's not polite to touch other people's things casually."
"Who?!"
The two women looked serious and immediately looked to the deep forest on one side.
The elder sister Erida instantly fired a shadow arrow and blasted it straight into the forest.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, but in the smoke and dust, a figure could still be seen walking slowly.
The person was Ryan.
He was surrounded by a kite-shaped shield made of magic silver on his body. He walked over with a smile on his face.
"Hey, it's you?"
When Ryan's young face came into the eyes of the two women, they were surprised.
Erida's pretty face was serious, while her younger sister Erida showed curiosity, but they both looked at Ryan carefully.
After all, when Ryan approached just now, neither of them noticed it, which obviously meant that the other party's strength should not be underestimated.
Moreover, the other party took the initiative to appear, which was a bit meaningful.
Who would take the initiative to appear?
At least someone who thinks he has the strength to face the two of them.
"You are Ryan, right? You should know that we are looking for you. You actually came to our door on your own initiative. Interesting." Sister Alida's eyes lit up and said.
"Sister, let me try the strength of this Ryan first."
"Be careful!"
Before Alida finished speaking, Alida's figure flashed, and the next second, her agile figure appeared in the air in front of Ryan.
Suddenly, Alida suddenly had a war blade in her hand, and she jumped and slashed at Ryan with great speed!
Huh? Is this a war blade?
What a fast speed!
However, Ryan's face did not change. In an instant, a knight's long sword appeared in his hand, blocking in front of him, just blocking the opponent's war blade jump slash!
"Dang!!!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the harsh sound of metal clashing resounded all around!
Alida's heart trembled, and she felt an extremely huge force coming from the collision, but her reaction was also very fast, and the whole person quickly retreated with the force.
But Ryan's power was too great, causing her to fail to fly back at once, but was knocked into the air.
Through the previous fight, Ryan found that the opponent's speed was extremely fast, but his strength was slightly inferior.
Now that the opponent was in mid-air, there was no place to borrow strength. Ryan narrowed his eyes and planned to seriously injure one of them first.
Just as he bent his knees and planned to chase, suddenly, more than ten shadow arrows rushed towards him. It was his sister Erida who was attacking him.
Ryan raised his hand and cast a second-level defense magic "Iron Armor" on himself. His body shook quickly and dodged the opponent's shadow arrow rain!
At this time, neither side launched another attack.
The short fight made both sides know that the opponent was not a weakling.
Ryan also knew who the two women were at this time. The one who just fought in close combat was the younger sister Erida, and the one who cast shadow arrows to attack him from a distance was the older sister Erida.
Because according to the intelligence of the sword holder, the younger sister Erida is good at close combat and has an extremely fast speed, while the older sister Erida is good at shadow magic and has great power.
Logically speaking, if the situation of the two was just like this, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them.
But the problem is that the intelligence also shows that the two have a strange ability.
A special ability called "twin displacement" by outsiders, which seems to be able to exchange the positions of both parties in a very short time.
