Chapter 400: Spear of the Sun
Flanders’ expression showed a hint of hidden uneasiness. He did not speak any more, but used the Golden Light Seed to convey the message:
'Last night, some patrol soldiers who were close to the coast showed signs of scaling on their skin, with fingernail-sized fish-scale-like things growing on the backs of their hands and arms.
All soldiers who showed such symptoms did not feel any relief even if they entered the range of the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.
The commander used the golden light potion in reserve and found that only the second type of potion was effective.'
According to the concentration of the medicine, Golden Light Medicine is divided into multiple models.
Unlike holy water, the potion with the lowest concentration used to remove daily pollution is called No. 0. Potion No. 1 is equivalent to the potion produced at the first-level Golden Light Spell level, and so on.
Crown lowered his eyes. Changes that they were unaware of had taken place in the ocean. It seemed that they had already threatened the town of Lorente. He wondered if coastal cities in other countries would be similarly affected.
If this change is continent-wide, the situation will be quite grim.
I don’t know whether it is because the evil god’s power has been further released, or if there are other reasons.
"How far inland is the pollution from the ocean? Have you calculated it?"
With more accurate information, he can assess the situation.
Flanders nodded slightly and said:
“These data are all statistically available. The impact of pollution laws extends ten kilometers inland, and the impact on the ecology in the river is even wider, reaching about fifteen kilometers.
The only known evil gods living in the ocean are Cthulhu and his descendants.
If this incident also affects other countries, the Vatican will quickly pass on the notification.”
Clown let out a sigh of relief. There are three countries with long coastlines, namely the Kingdom of Hinterland, the Kingdom of Budamia, and the Kingdom of Talon.
The closest place to Farouk is Sintlan, and with the current speed of information transmission, it will take at least six days to get feedback.
He pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then said, "Lorente Town is very important to Rhine City. If it is lost, the Murlocs and Deep Divers will follow the tributaries of the Rhine River into Rhine City.
From the previous intelligence of Sintland, I can see that the murlocs have strong adaptability and reproduction capacity. If these murlocs are allowed to gain a foothold on the continent, it will greatly compress the living space of other creatures, including ourselves.
I think we need to strengthen the defenses of Lorente Town and turn it into a fortress."
The town of Lorente is surrounded by towering mountains that protect it from most of the pollution that spreads from the depths of the ocean.
On the side of the mountains facing the ocean, the originally emerald green vegetation has turned gray-brown and is covered with tumors, and the branches are twisted and tangled.
The town is the only way for the polluted energy from the sea to enter the Rhine Parish, and it must not be breached.
"That's what I thought."
Flanders smiled and said:
"Now that the spiritual concentration in the world is constantly increasing, there is no shortage of soldiers for the time being. At least we can recruit a large number of first- and second-level extraordinary people.
If you want to build a fortress in Lorente Town, you must build a large-scale protective magic circle."
"However," he said with difficulty, "we don't have many large crystal cores, so we can only build small magic arrays.
The protection array has a characteristic that it cannot be superimposed on each other. If a small crystal core is used as the core to build an array, a defensive blind spot will appear in the fortress. "
“The Moon-Breaking Spiritual Light Array can be stacked with the Sheltering Array. If the output of the Fidia Mine is stable and reliable, Lorente Town can place multiple arrays with a coverage radius of 100 meters.
I think we can start planning and designing the fortress. In the early stage, we will use the protection array as the foundation to radiate outwards. When the base of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array is completed, we will fill it with the spirit array. "
Clown discovered a problem. The power he built up was difficult to benefit himself. Due to his own uniqueness, he did not need any resources to improve himself.
Coupled with the use of the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array and the Sun Altar, the defense of Moya Castle is impregnable, and the guard team that was formed has little room for use.
This resulted in the guards never having any experience in actual combat, which was very disadvantageous.
While the current situation is still under control, he will train the guards in a planned manner and build a battle-hardened army.
He planned to arrange several Dao Seed holders in Lorente Town so that he could provide emergency support in case of any sudden changes.
Without Flanders' call for help, Rhine City would be a ruin now.
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it right away."
The archbishop agreed happily. The purpose of what he said just now was to keep Clown's promise.
Of the two major hidden dangers facing the city of Rhine, they cannot determine the route of the cultists' attack, making it difficult to make targeted defenses, but the fishmen's attack on the heart of the parish will inevitably require a breakthrough through the town of Lorente.
If the town was built into a fortress, his worries would be reduced by half.
Hammers City, Moya Castle.
Eliza poured a glass of white wine for her husband and asked with concern, "Tell me exactly what happened in Rhine City.
Didn't you say that the diocese had garrisons outside the Andes Mountains? How come there was no warning beforehand?"
When her husband left in the middle of the night, she realized the seriousness of the situation and originally planned to go to support him, but she heard that everything had been settled and she didn't need to go.
Living together after marriage made Eliza realize that although her husband said it lightly, the process must be extremely urgent.
The other party always calmly blocks the storm outside at the edge of their world.
Crown took the wine glass, kissed his wife's hand, and said with a smile: "This time the enemy played a trick, taking a detour from other areas and then attacking Rhine City from another line of defense.
All of them are elites, the lowest level of extraordinary people have reached the third level, there are fourth and fifth level enemies. There are even sixth level enemies. "
"Ah, what happened next?"
Eliza's heart suddenly tightened. The sixth-level enemy was totally beyond the ability of low-level transcendents to deal with. She didn't know what the casualties were in Rhine City before her husband arrived.
This place has changed from a vision to a hometown, and she certainly hopes that the situation in this area is safe and stable.
Clown took a sip of the sweet white wine and said with a smile, "Later? Of course, I arrived at the scene and prevented the collapse."
When fighting against the Soul Reaper, he only exerted 80% of his strength and was no match for the enemy at all. This also made him realize his own level among the sixth-order creatures.
He described the battle scene again and concluded: "The enemy's power of law tends to be pollution and mental shock, but it has no effect on me. I failed without any loss."
"Yes, it's their misfortune to meet you," Eliza smiled.
"There is something I need to discuss with you. The defense of Lorente Town has encountered challenges. Flanders and I discussed it and decided to build a fortress there.
I decided to send half of the family's guards to help deal with the attacks of the fishmen, and to train the soldiers so that they can see some blood, so as not to suffer too many casualties when facing more intense battles in the future."
"I agree that no matter how good the training is, nothing can improve the quality of the troops better than actual combat."
Eliza nodded seriously and continued, "I've learned about the situation in Rhine City and several nearby parishes. Building a fortress requires a lot of investment, but there is almost no return.
All this money needs to be paid by the Holy Fire Cathedral. Can your financial situation support it?"
If the economic system collapses, we will enter a barter stage, which will be very disadvantageous to everyone.
If business is not prosperous, it will be difficult to gather and distribute resources. In a state of war, the consumption of materials will be huge.
Crown was a little embarrassed. He had not considered this question at all at that time.
"It should be fine. I didn't ask. Flanders has always made the decisions on resource issues."
Eliza held her forehead with her hand and said helplessly, "Okay."
My husband is a true super genius when it comes to improving his extraordinary status, but he is lacking in other aspects.
When the gods open a door for people, they will inevitably close a window.
But it’s better this way, she can still help the other person and won’t feel useless when facing the other person.
Klauen told his wife about the Fidia Mine and finally said, “The quality of the cold jade ore there is much better than that of the Hammers Mine, and it is easier to mine. In the future, we will have a continuous supply of materials, and we will have many sets of materials for the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array.
The Archbishop and I have reached a consensus that the price of each magic circle is 15,000 gold spirit coins."
The desire to build Rhine City into an iron bucket array will probably be realized in a few years. If he is given a few years to grow, several sun altars will be erected.
The most lacking material now is warm jade. When the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce officially settles in Hamers, he will have a good talk with the person in charge.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The situation in Sintland is very unclear. The warm jade mines there may become unavailable for mining at any time. He needs to find an alternative source of supply.
The Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has a wide network of contacts, and with their help, it should be easier to achieve our goals.
The two chatted for a while, and then Crown hugged Eliza and left:
"I'm going to the underground secret room for a while. I've hit a bottleneck recently and need to think carefully."
Eliza's eyes suddenly widened: "What does it mean to encounter a bottleneck?"
I hope the bottleneck you mentioned is not the bottleneck I think of, otherwise I will feel very stupid.
What is the bottleneck of the sixth level? It must be the eve of stepping into the golden level of the stigma.
"The bottleneck is exactly what it means," Clown said softly in his wife's ear, "I'm telling you, I'm only one step away from the Golden Level of the Stigmata."
He patted the other person's shoulder, loosened his arms and left.
One month later.
The situation in the Rhine city has neither worsened nor improved.
Moya Castle, study.
Clown explained things to his wife. He was about to leave for the city of Bligh to have a good talk with the Pope to see if he could get a way to upgrade the Stigma Gold.
In fact, he had no hope of obtaining advanced methods. His original purpose was to understand the advanced ideas.
As long as he has a direction, he can definitely "figure out" an advanced method.
"The long winter in the Farouk Kingdom is about to pass, and the temperature has begun to rise. Soon, various mines will start operations one after another, and we will get a steady supply of cold jade ore.
In the future, we will make many sets of Moon Soul Spirit Light Arrays."
"After I leave, confirm the list of guards entering Lorente Town and order the troops to set off as soon as possible."
Eliza nodded slightly and said:
“The list has been confirmed, and the team leaders are Melissa and Janice.
Didn't you say that you hope that Dao Seed holders will be stationed in various key points in Rhine City? Tomorrow I will arrange for several intelligence teams to be stationed in Rhine City and Lorente Town. "
Clown was slightly stunned and said:
"Why choose Janice? Is Del willing to let her go?"
Janice is not yet 15 years old, so theoretically she doesn't need to participate in such activities.
“Don’t underestimate Janice, she is the most independent girl I have ever met and she knows exactly what she wants.
As for Del, Janice will do the ideological work on him, so we don't have to worry about it at all."
As a father, it is understandable that Del seeks stability and hopes to create a smooth path for his children.
However, the revival of the evil god is not subject to human will, and the enemy will not wait until you are ready before launching an attack.
Del doesn't see this as clearly as his daughter. Only by working as hard as possible can we protect everything we want to protect when disaster strikes.
Crown laughed and said, “It’s not just Del who can’t see through it, there are a lot of people who can’t see through it either.
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. It is a simple truth, but some people always turn a blind eye to it.
Let’s not talk about this. I’m about to leave, and I hope you can take good care of everything here.”
"Don't worry."
After bidding farewell to his wife, Crown spread his rose-gold wings and flew high into the sky.
He calibrated the direction and headed towards the city of Bligh, with the golden light shining brightly in the sun.
His hands formed a seal and flew up and down. A golden spear appeared in his hand. This was another form of the Sun Thunder Seal that he had improved.
The Golden Light Spell had been at a standstill these days, and he was spending more time applying its powers.
You know what, he figured out something really good.
The golden spear in his hand now is the result of him extracting the power of laws contained in the Sun Thunder Seal and reshaping it.
Not only has the external form changed, the spear's flying speed is also much faster than using the Sun Thunder Seal.
The surface of the spear was surrounded by white light, which was the law of thunder and lightning that was activated at that time.
Klauen raised his hand and the golden spear flew out immediately.
A ray of light flashed by that was completely imperceptible to the naked eye of ordinary people, and the Spear of Law had already hit a mottled ancient tree in the forest that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
"Click"
The ancient tree is called Ironwood and is famous for its hardness.
Now this huge monster was broken into pieces by the power of the law, and the charred charcoal flew in all directions, forming a huge round pit on the ground.
When he threw the golden spear, it was two hundred meters away from the ancient tree. He was very satisfied that it had such destructive power at such a long distance.
"That's right. From now on, we will call this ability the Spear of the Sun."
