Covering her smooth forehead, Nia sighed, seeming a little tired.
Karl didn't say anything, but just hugged Nia's slightly thin body, letting her have a strong and warm chest to lean on.
However, the long period of intimacy had obviously made the old couple no longer feel shy as in the beginning. Her face turned slightly red for a few seconds, and Nia pushed Carl away.
"Okay, stop being so cheesy. Do we really have to continue to care about things here? If we build the elemental pool and stabilize the demiplane, we will have the capital to return to the main plane, right? Why should we continue to stay here?"
"Then you underestimate those old men who covet the Eternal Furnace. If I don't let them suffer a little in the Air Elemental Plane, will they really think I'm made of clay? Eclipse Harbor is located at the key point of the safe shipping route, which is exactly the place where they are most likely to get stuck. If we can protect it, we should try our best to protect it."
After explaining his concerns to Nia, Carl reluctantly put on his power armor again and prepared to go out and destroy the undead.
However, he will not work as hard this time as before. With the help of the Iron Ant Legion, he only needs to give orders.
…
"Wow~, the situation seems to be more serious than I thought at first."
Looking at the undead not far away, Carl raised the left arm of his power armor and a lightning pulse flew out immediately.
The skull of the undead was pierced by the pulse, and the entire skull turned into ashes, but it was not completely dead at this time. The power of the soul fire was still attached to the body of the skeleton. As long as it replaced part of the body as soon as possible and rekindled the soul fire, it would only lose some spirituality at most.
But Carl obviously would not give it this opportunity. He waved his free hands behind him, and a bright red Iron Ant Type 2 construct walked forward, grabbed the skull and stuffed it into its mouth.
With a "boom" sound, the crusher inside the Iron Ant Type II crushed the skeleton into powder.
As the alchemical solution and various devices in its body were running, the iron ant that had eaten the skeleton spewed out a cloud of gray smoke from the chimney on its back.
The light in its eyes was even brighter, and the alchemical solution emitted a brighter green light than that of ordinary iron ants.
"Hey, if I let you keep eating like this, I wonder if you can evolve to a level of intelligence similar to that of the Warforged."
Carl patted the iron ant's shell and looked at it expectantly.
This iron ant was one of the three iron ants that had followed him all the way from the main plane, and it was the eldest of the three - A Da.
With reference to some of his master Mooreban's technology, Carl intentionally designed these constructs to be very similar to the Warforged. In addition, the spirits he summoned were all demon tomb spirits from the Mechanical Realm, so even if Carl's Iron Ants do not have wetware, their intelligence is far superior to that of ordinary constructs.
Hearing his creator expressing his expectations for him, Ada happily controlled the machinery on his face and squinted his eyes.
Behind this man and this ant, more iron ants were walking on the streets of Eclipse Port like marching ants.
At this moment, the area where Carl is located is the "colony" allocated to him by Eclipse Port.
After discovering that the people from the Public Security Bureau did not pay much attention to the safety of the residents in this area, Carl had no choice but to "station troops" here.
The wind giants and cloud giants didn't seem to have any objection to this, and the outsiders living here had even less.
Looking up, the "rain of dead souls" was still falling from the sky.
This approach makes these undead very different from the well-known Karrnath undead soldiers in the main plane. The Karrnath undead soldiers are intelligent and can cooperate with the commander's tactics, but these undead have absorbed the spirituality of other individuals, so they have low intelligence and are extremely violent.
"Alas, I don't know what those people from Emerald Claw are trying to do. Although sending these things here will cause a lot of trouble, it doesn't seem to be enough to make Eclipse Harbor unable to resist, right?"
As I was thinking about these things, a call suddenly came from the distant sky.
Carl looked up and found that the person coming was his half-sister, Lisanna.
"Brother! I'm here to see you!"
Waving her arms, Lisanna, riding on Garuru, landed on the ground with several eagle men riding mechanical griffins.
Eclipse Port originally had a no-fly zone, but now the city is in chaos and the Public Security Bureau has no time to care about it.
Seeing Carl's true form, several Eagle men seemed a little uneasy.
This is the natural impact of Carl's powerful spirituality as a high-level professional on these professionals who have just condensed their spiritual core.
Once they advance one or two levels, they will probably lose this keen perception ability.
After greeting everyone, Carl was about to take everyone to the building allocated to him by the Wind Giant for a simple treat, but he found that Alan kept looking at the huge arm in the air from time to time, and looked quite frightened.
Out of kindness, he took the initiative to comfort her: "Don't worry, it won't fall. The Wind Giant and the Cloud Giant still have many tricks to use. Their factories are also working hard to produce war beasts. It won't be long before the situation is resolved..."
Alan suddenly interrupted him in the middle of his conversation, "That thing, I've seen something similar to that!"
After these words were spoken, not only Carl, but also Lisanna and several other Eagle people looked at Alan in surprise.
Carl: "Have you seen it? When?"
Swallowing his saliva with a trembling body, Alan said tremblingly: "In the atlas that the Patriarch gave me! The atlas says that these evil elemental spirits are the minions of the elemental princes, and they are the targets that the warriors of our tribe need to do their best to eliminate and seal.
Our hometown was destroyed by a violent air element. Ever since I read the Patriarch's atlas, I have always believed that the air element was the apostle of the Prince of Air Element—Yan Xibing."
In the four elemental planes, there are four evil beings that emerged from the elements - the four elemental princes.
They wreaked havoc for a long time soon after the world was formed, until some intelligent life forms united to seal them away.
Although these four elemental princes still belong to the category of elemental life, they are still legendary existences.
Take the air elemental prince Yan Xibing, for example. His natural form is a roaring, swirling invisible vortex of air, 30 feet high and 15 feet wide, but Yan Xibing sometimes transforms into a haggard, solemn dark-skinned human male with flowing white hair and glowing pale eyes.
The evil aerial creatures worship him as a god, but Yan Xibing ignores their sacrifices and only cares about destroying the world and leaving the material realm forever ravaged by violent winds.
After listening to Alan's words, Carl paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly a terrible idea came to his mind - could it be that the group of people from the Emerald Claws were trying to resurrect the Earth Elemental Prince and his minions? (End of this chapter)
