Chapter 571 Pre-War Declaration
After a while, Ryan arrived at the height of the Hammerfall Mountains and looked down.
Although the great astrologer Dallion had found Graham's traces and the other party was roughly within the range of the Hammerfall Mountains, the problem was that the Hammerfall Mountains itself was a giant mountain range stretching for thousands of miles. It was difficult to find a hidden late-stage Dawn wizard in it.
Of course, this was better than having no range.
Moreover, for others, such a wide area, even for an old-fashioned Dawn wizard like Elder Ivan, would take at least nearly a month to search, but for Ryan, who had already entered the peak of the full moon, it naturally did not take that long.
Ryan was confident that he would find the other party in half a day at the fastest and three to five days at the slowest.
Even if the other party was hiding in such a vast and long mountain range.
Ryan was about to take action when he suddenly thought of something.
"According to Graham's character, the other party is hiding in the mountains and must be waiting for an opportunity to act!"
"That is to say, the other party will either look for areas with a large flow of people to wait for an opportunity to perform a blood sacrifice summon. Or rely on places with more spiders to use the spider spirit to summon." "
If that's the case,"
Ryan's eyes lit up and he disappeared in an instant.
About an hour later.
Ryan returned here again, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I have been to the eleven county towns on the edge of the Hammerfall Mountains, and I haven't found any traces of the other party."
"As for some other villages and towns, the population is too small, and the number of masters is not enough to perform a high-quality blood sacrifice."
"From this point of view, the other party is most likely in a place where some ferocious spiders are entrenched."
The next second, his figure disappeared in mid-air again.
Soon, Ryan came to a valley area with jagged rocks. This environment is the favorite environment of the black fog spiders in the Hammerfall Mountains.
"Unfortunately, there are no signs of human intervention."
Ryan's eyes first focused on the nest where the black mist spiders were going in and out. Soon after, he moved to a fist-sized black mist spider and looked at it carefully for a while, and soon shook his head.
"Yes, although these black mist spiders are numerous, their strength is too weak. They are almost the weakest and most violent species."
"If I were Graham, I would probably not choose the black mist spiders."
A few minutes later, Ryan came to the sky above a dense forest again.
Below this dense forest is a large swamp area, where many swamp poisonous spiders live.
"There is no sign of artificial transformation."
Ryan picked up a basin-sized, shivering swamp poisonous spider, sighed, and said.
Immediately afterwards, Ryan went to more than ten areas where various spiders were entrenched, but he did not find any traces of Graham.
"Not in the giant web spider nest."
"Not in the black widow spider nest."
"Not in the wild thorn spider nest!"
This made Ryan frown slightly, and he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment.
"Could it be that Graham really found a place and hid himself there?"
"If so, I really can't do anything to him."
"No!"
"Judging from his previous actions in the Cyrodiil Plateau, he is not the kind of person who would just hide without any follow-up plans. There must be something I overlooked!"
After thinking it over again and again, Ryan felt that his idea should be correct. The other party must have some plan, but the hiding place has not been discovered by him yet.
"It can't be in the Hammerfall Tunnel, right?" Ryan thought about it in his mind and muttered.
"Although there are enough caravans there, the problem is that once multiple caravans disappear, the Imperial garrison cannot fail to report it."
"But."
After thinking about it, Ryan decided to go and take a look first.
With a 'swish', Ryan came to the Hammerfall Tunnel that he had passed through before. The faint burning smell of the ground filled the surroundings. Many caravans were heading to the other end of the tunnel in an orderly manner, without any panic or anxiety.
This shows that no major changes have occurred in the Hammerfall Tunnel recently.
"There is magma below, and spiders like shade. No!"
"There is another kind of spider that likes heat, that is the rare, powerful and violent lava spider."
Ryan suddenly thought of something!
A relatively rare dark red spider that looks like a calf appeared in his mind.
He saw his figure flashing several times in succession, and he came to a lava area under the Hammerfall Tunnel.
"Found it! It's here!"
Ryan's face finally showed a smile.
What Ryan saw in front of him was a lava spider nest. Hundreds of lava spiders were carrying the corpses of many beasts into the nest.
If you look closely at these lava spiders, you can find that there are several black lines on their bodies, which are obviously different from their original appearance.
This is naturally someone who has done something to the lava spider.
In fact, Ryan has seen through the hot steam coming out of the magma, deep in the nest, the familiar figure who escaped from the Cyrodiil Plateau.
Graham is next to a large altar that has been basically built.
In the center of the altar was a huge dark red rock body, on top of which lay a giant lava spider the size of a carriage, and around it were various ferocious species that the lava spiders had hunted.
After a moment's thought, Ryan did not go forward to kill the other party directly, but instead carefully observed and listened to Graham's mutterings.
"Even if I killed a rare epic lava giant, I still need at least two more lava giants to summon Neyobrakan."
Graham looked at the huge lava giant corpse in the center of the altar, his face still without joy.
"Damn it! If it wasn't for that Ryan last time, I would have succeeded!"
"Where can I find an epic sacrifice in this kind of ghost place now?"
"But if I wait slowly for the Spider Spirit to meet the requirements, it will take at least a few years."
Seeing this scene, Ryan fell into deep thought.
Since the last battle with Neyobrakan, Ryan has learned about the relevant information.
Compared with the requirements of the "Blood Sacrifice Summoning", the "Spider Spirit Summoning" is much easier, reducing the requirements for the intelligence of the sacrifice, and instead requires a qualified high-quality spider as a container.
He came here this time to complete the last step of promotion by killing the incarnation of the evil god Neyobrakan, not just to kill Graham.
Because simply killing Graham is almost meaningless to Ryan.
But what is more interesting now is that Graham is also trying to do this - summon the evil god Neyobrekan to descend!
In other words, if he wants to complete the promotion as soon as possible, he'd better help.
"Does this mean that I have to help Graham complete the summoning?"
Ryan's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
Although he has heard of the term "assisting the enemy", it seems that this is his first official enemy.
"The best way to make the other party accept the "pie in the sky" happily without much suspicion is naturally to make it a coincidence."
"The surrounding area here is all lava areas. Maybe, you can find two epic-level hostile lava creatures and then..."
Ryan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he laughed immediately.
"It's not easy, but you still have to do it!"
The next moment, Ryan disappeared from the spot.
It is very difficult to find two lava creatures that meet the conditions, even for Ryan who has the ability to shuttle through the subspace and has reached the peak of the full moon.
Ryan's figure was seen flashing all the way in the dense underground magma dark river.
"Hey, there is an epic lava dog sleeping here."
Suddenly, Ryan found a dark red beast with three ferocious dog heads in an underground lava lake hundreds of kilometers away from the lava spider altar.
It was the legendary lava dog with the mutant blood of the three-headed hellhound.
"But it's not enough. We need a hostile creature."
After Ryan happily memorized the location, he continued to search quickly along the underground magma dark river.
Half an hour later.
Ryan finally found another epic creature.
"Huh? Another epic lava dog?"
Ryan was a little speechless. It would be great if it was a lava giant or an ancient fire demon. It was a hostile creature to the lava dog. It would be more credible if two epic beasts died after a fierce battle.
"This"
pair of lava dogs made Ryan a little hesitant.
Suddenly, at this time, the communication mark on Ryan's chest flashed!
"My Lord Iron Throne, the evil demons in Cologne Cathedral have moved abnormally and spread to the periphery again, as if they are preparing to launch further attacks." Ryan immediately clicked, and heard Olena's anxious voice from the mark.
Hmm?
Ryan narrowed his eyes and said immediately, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
After a little thought, Ryan decided to let the two lava dogs be lava dogs!
"After all, there is also internal fighting among dogs."
Ryan's figure flashed and came to the sky above the lava lake. A dark silver metal hand quickly formed out of thin air, probed into the magma, and grabbed the sleepy lava dog by the neck.
"Woo~"
The lava dog, who wanted to roar, trembled immediately after sensing Ryan's strength level.
The level of the full moon peak is almost completely unmatched in the perception of the lava dog.
After two more points, Ryan took the lava dog and shuttled all the way back to the previous location. He used another dark silver metal hand to catch the previous lava dog.
Then, Ryan observed the claws and mouth shapes of the two lava dogs, and quickly killed the two epic-level lava dogs.
Then, he quickly transformed into multiple pairs of metal claws and pretended to inflict wounds on the two lava dogs.
After doing all this, Ryan threw the bodies of the two lava dogs into the lava lake closest to the lava spider's nest, and released a fire spell to trigger energy fluctuations.
After seeing the wandering lava spiders coming and discovering the bodies of the lava dogs, Ryan nodded, flashed, and left the Hammerfall Mountains.
As Ryan returned to the air above the imperial capital Tamriel, he found that there was a ferocious demon hundreds of meters high above the Cologne Cathedral.
There were birds infected by it, griffin knights, and even seven or eight dragons with evil spirits lingering around them, circling around the demon, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
On the other side of the sky.
The coalition forces of the Empire and the Federation were also on high alert.
The Empire Guardians, top flying knights, and a large number of griffin knights, led by the Red Queen Menia, as well as dozens of large armed airships of the Federation, also gathered in the air, stretching for dozens of miles.
Ryan even saw several slender elf elders around the high-level officials of the Empire, led by the druid elder of the elves, Auben Moon Blade.
Obviously, the elves are here to support.
As for the goddess Matilda, she was hiding in the distance as a backup.
"It seems that the energy absorbed from the last devouring of living beings has been absorbed. This time, it will be further expanded." Ryan frowned and said.
Ryan had learned about the fighting method of the evil demon in detail through the goddess Matilda.
The level of the evil demon is very high. Even Matilda, as a true god, that is, the power of the Sun Throne, cannot completely eliminate the evil spirit core.
If the evil spirit core is not destroyed, the evil spirit will slowly revive and grow.
The only way is to consume the evil spirit core by driving the artifact Time Key and the secondary key.
This was also the tactic used by the goddess Matilda at the time, using her own lifespan to activate the secondary key to consume the evil spirit, and then seal up the remaining evil spirits.
Therefore, although the battle was won in the end, most of the goddess Matilda's long lifespan was also consumed.
Apart from the evil spirit core, the creatures infected by the evil spirit were difficult to deal with depending on the concentration of the evil spirit.
Basically, legendary-level infected creatures would be severely damaged when facing the same level of fire energy, while epic-level fire energy could completely eliminate this part of the evil spirit.
But if the opponent had an epic-level high concentration of evil spirit, it would be quite tricky.
I'm afraid that except for him who could easily solve it, even a wizard in the late Dawn would find it extremely difficult to completely kill this part of the evil spirit.
This is why the battle with the evil spirits is so difficult, because if you are not careful, you will be easily infected after being injured, and it is very difficult to completely eliminate them.
Ryan flashed again and came to the side of the Red Queen Menia, saying, "I'm here."
Seeing Ryan's figure appear, everyone from the Imperial Guardians to the elite soldiers in the armed airships breathed a sigh of relief.
Our demigod is finally here!
The enemy is too powerful and terrifying. Just the terrifying height of hundreds of meters is enough to make people despair.
Even the 'Red Dragon King' Straz, compared with the other party, is the difference between an adult and a three-year-old child. The gap is too big.
"Ryan, the aura of the evil spirit seems to have become stronger." Menia frowned and said.
"Well, every time it can draw energy from the infected creatures."
"By the way, has the floating city not been repaired yet?"
"Not yet. However, facing the evil demon, even if the floating city is repaired, I'm afraid it is not suitable to take part in the battle."
"Huh?"
"Because another evil demon is sealed at the bottom of the floating city, I'm worried." Ryan said in a deep voice.
In fact, neither the goddess Matilda nor he could figure out what the relationship was between the floating demon and the demon in Cologne Cathedral.
Are they multiple sub-bodies of the same entity?
Or is each an independent demon entity?
According to the records in ancient books, this legendary evil creature made by the Lord of the Void should have arrived in this world at different times.
The most obvious evidence is that the period of the ancient goblins and the period of the goddess Matilda differed by nearly 20,000 years.
Therefore, Ryan was more inclined to believe that the other party belonged to different demon entities.
But the key to the problem is that it seems that the demons can split and merge and reorganize at will.
This means that once the floating city is allowed to participate in the war, if something unexpected happens and the two demons merge, I am afraid that even Ryan will not be able to deal with this situation.
Therefore, the floating city is still floating above the Cyrodiil Plateau, relying on the rich mineral resources and the abundant manpower of the Construction Association, and is doing its best to repair it.
"I understand, it is indeed safer this way." Menia nodded and said.
Suddenly, a loud roar interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Roar!!!"
As the demon above the Cologne Cathedral roared, the terrifying demonic sound like from hell swept around.
And the infected creatures under its command roared and roared towards the human coalition, as if preparing to launch an attack!
Facing the evil spirits' eagerness to make a move, Menia nodded to Ryan first, and then
mobilized them through voice transmission witchcraft: "I am Menia Dragun. Here, I see an army composed of the Empire, the Federation and even the elves, coming to fight against the invasion of the evil spirits!"
"This scene is so familiar!"
"It's just like ten thousand years ago, when the goddess Matilda led humans and all races to fight against the evil spirits and the evil gods."
"Everyone, we are all human beings. Facing a brutal and ruthless monster like the evil spirits, we will feel fear in our hearts."
"But everyone, if you choose to turn around and run away now, you may survive by chance, but one day later, you will ask yourself, will you regret your cowardice today?"
"And if you stay, although you may die in battle, you can proudly tell everyone that you have fought bravely to defend your homeland and protect your family! You can proudly tell the evil spirits that we humans will never surrender!"
"Everyone, glory is with us! I am with you!!"
Menia's sonorous pre-war mobilization seemed to have a deafening spiritual witchcraft effect.
Thousands of people, whether in the sky or on the ground, regardless of their status, regardless of their strength, overcame their fears, raised their weapons high and waved them, and shouted:
"Glory is with us!"
"Glory is with us!"
However, the roar from the coalition forces obviously completely angered the evil demons!
The flying followers of the evil demons, with the infected dragons as the core, were like a black waterfall pouring down, rushing towards the coalition forces in the air!
And the thousands of infected people on the ground rushed towards the coalition's ground positions like zombies besieging a city.
The fierce battle started immediately!
