Chapter 860: Cracks
The old master thought for a while and asked, "Then... the Duke, the Goddess of Wealth, was it also made by you?"
"She is not, and I will drive her out of this universe unless she obeys me in the future."
"Don't you kill her?"
"There is no need, let's talk about it, she was once my ally. If she were willing to leave, I wouldn't have killed her. Can you know why?"
The old mage flashed his inspiration and said, "Isn't she the god of this universe?"
"Yes, she is not a god in this universe. You are very smart. If you don't advance to the legend too late, you will have a chance to go further. But it's better to become my god. At least, as long as I don't die, you will also gain eternal life. Although the gods of Taoist priests have dispersed authority, they also have not so much obligations, and they live more freely."
"Is it obligatory? Like the Lord of Dawn?"
"Yes, when he sees evil, he wants to eradicate it. He may be lazy, but when he cannot avoid it, he must do it even if he pays the price of his life. This is the relationship between authority and obligation."
"I hope there is an i name." The old mage lowered his head and accepted Xia He's suggestion. Becoming a god belonging to the caster and a god of the Duke is much better than entering the Kingdom of Dawn.
"Just call it Li Feng. As for the clergy, I'll talk about it later."
"Yes." The old master bowed to Xia He and stood up.
"After becoming a god, you don't need to practice. As long as you perform priesthood and accumulate merits, you can improve your level and gain strength. If someone or any god wants to target me, you must first consider cutting you off. So for you, gaining strength is still something you must do."
The matter here was handled quickly, and the matter of the demon insect forest was completely resolved.
Although there are still a large number of demon insects in the forest, the roots have been cleared and no more monsters will be born.
However, the cracks on the earth had expanded to two hundred meters away. A large amount of red water oozed out from the ground, gradually filling the cracks that were hundreds of miles long.
The magicians checked and found that the red water was not venom, but was slightly polluted by the demonic air, much cleaner than the soil in the forest. The source of red is a mineral deep in the earth.
Soon these red substances will settle down and will not pose any threat to the people on the ground.
Although there is no threat, Yamaguchi Castle still has to be dealt with slowly. The demon insects in the forest must be cleaned up. Because the attack route needs to be changed, no one dares to sail on this crack. What if the water recedes?
If you walk against the crack, you are afraid of geological instability and collapse.
However, the cracks do not need to be handled by the noble army. A large group of people were sent to investigate what was under the cracks.
Xia He brought back a prisoner and interrogated him slowly, without any rush.
This forest is not far from the mountain pass, which means that you will enter your territory when you go north from the mountain pass. Moreover, this place is close to the Tower of Heaven, which means that the Merryfin family has long wanted to deal with it.
However, this time the noble army passed through the forest and triggered a riot of demon insects. Then he happened to have a magic scroll that could summon the powerful Dawn Giant. The arrangement of the Meriffin family was completely ruined.
If there is no scroll of the Lord of Dawn, if you want to destroy the demon insect, you either use kinetic energy weapons or take action yourself, and no one is ideal.
So you can't underestimate any enemy. The Merryfin family is soft when fighting, and it's very powerful to play tricks.
If you don’t build a good flagship, you will leave the New World again. Then your arrangements in the New World will be taken away by these demon insects.
Yamaguchi City has high walls and good weapons, but it definitely can't stand an hour.
This kind of city can't stand an hour, but other cities can resist for a long time at most.
The Tower of Heaven can be closed, and more powerful magicians of contemporary times have arrived to support it.
Yamaguchi Castle has now added 20 battalions and a scale of 100,000 people. After replenishing equipment, it will be no more troublesome to go on the battle this time.
A straight road is made at a distance of kilometers parallel to the crack and passes through the forest.
Because when the Dawn Giant exploded, the Dawn God's divine light soared into the sky from under the cracks, and the surrounding forests were purified. Those demonized plants no longer attacked humans.
There may be demon insects further away, but they are rare and cannot pose a threat to the army.
The next day, the noble army launched. This time, a large number of robot troops were still following, with only ten battalions, and the other ten battalions were on standby in Yamaguchi Castle.
However, this time the air force increased, Xia He's own flight battalion remained unmoved, and the number of new flight warships of the nobles also reached the standard of one battalion, and the other was the hexagram airship. Xia He supported forty-eight small, twelve medium, and three large ones.
Although the flying warships have stronger combat effectiveness, Xia He’s six-pointed airship is not a product.
Because the value of this thing is very high, the combat capability in the atmosphere is not weak. The product that goes up is the Fire Crow Type 4. Xia He's own flying warships will not be built too many in the future, so just let it go.
If necessary, it is enough to ask the nobles under his command to buy more and cooperate with the battle.
The last time the Dawn Giant was launched in time, the tech cannon was not damaged by the demon insects, and it could be used after repairing it. The most loss was the robot warrior. When covering the human soldiers' retreat, 80% of them were blown up by the demon insects.
The noble army didn't care so much. They killed a lot of demon insects last time, and directly exchanged for more robot warriors with their merits. Although merits are more precious than gold coins, everyone's money is still not enough to buy weapons and equipment. Anyway, it is not difficult to get merits with the Duke.
Everyone can see that the Duke is going to do a big fight. If you don’t win, nothing will be left. If you can win, everyone will become senior citizens of the Duke and enter the parliament in the future.
Of course, Xia He also collected gold. For Taoist priests, the value of gold is not regarded as money, but is a metal with relatively high value. In many formations, gold is used, and the substitutes are either insufficient attributes or more expensive.
Gold has excellent ductility and is extremely stable and has abnormal properties. In addition to being intolerant of high temperatures, its advantages are almost irreplaceable as a material for the formation.
What's more, the temperature inside most formations is constant and will not be affected by the outside world.
Gold is also a metal with stable value in the world of China. Even though the immortals found a planet with a large amount of gold, the price of gold did not drop.
Just like the mitr silver in the magic world, even if the entire planet is mitr silver, this thing is still precious to the mage.
The noble army was in brigades, one by one, one by one, and another, moving deep into the forest. Although the threat of demonized vegetation had been eliminated, the engineering robots were still cleaning up huge trees.
Between the mountain mine and Yamaguchi Castle, Cotton Jack needs a wide enough road.
In the cracks in the forest, a team of students from Asra College were responsible for the action.
This team of students is quite good, and the worst one is a level 20 magician. He is not old, with a total of nine people. The team leader is a legendary wizard called Suk who was transferred from the Tower of Tongtian.
Suke is not a native of the Arcane Empire, but a magician from the Green Forest Continent. He defected to Xia He very early. He was less than 20 levels at the beginning, and he was unknown all the way and worked diligently.
Xia He has many such talents in his hands, and they only grow explosively after the laws of the main world loosen.
Suk has golden hair, green pupils, iron-gray eyes, and a handsome appearance.
He offended the people from the Mage Tower in Greensen, fled to the Arcane Empire, and then encountered Xia He and surrendered directly. No earth-shaking thing happened, and it was dull all the way. Until one day, true qi was cultivated in Su Ke's body.
He still couldn't become a Taoist priest, but he became the best among the mages.
Su Ke commanded his men to build a base next to the crack. The base covered the crack more than 200 meters wide, and the ground at the edges on both sides were reinforced with magic, and the reinforcement width was much wider than the crack.
In the center of the base, there is a square opening directly, and the red water surface is below.
Suke asked someone to put the submersible down and took eight students to dive deep into the crack. This submersible is much more expensive than a flying warship. It can dive into the water tens of thousands of meters deep. It was originally used by Xiahe to study the deep-sea environment. Inside the submersible, there is a chaotic barrier space and a life cycle device. Even if it sinks and cannot float, it can maintain a personal life for only one month.
In addition to some underwater robots carried by itself, the submersible also brought two submersibles, which also have combat capabilities.
These two submersibles are both intelligent machinery and can be commanded remotely. The three submersibles sink toward the depths of the cracks, and the speed is not very fast.
Under the red water, visibility decreases rapidly, and turning on the lights is meaningless.
However, this kind of expensive thing never depends on vision to observe the environment. In the submersible, the soul beads in the magic array release induction waves, plus the high-frequency sound waves released by the submersible itself, detecting the surrounding environment.
There were no creatures inside the crack, and they were dead.
It was not until the submersible was able to detect the bottom of the crack when it went down to a depth of more than 6,000 meters.
The space inside is huge, and the natural giant cave seems to have gone to the extreme north of the Bingfeng Continent. In the submersible, Su Ke ordered the submersible to drive to both ends, find the rules of water flow, and see where this cave will lead to.
At the bottom of the cave, there is a hard rock. The robot collected a little sample and analyzed that there should be a metal ore below.
