Upon hearing this news, my heart sank. The thing I had been fearing finally happened.
I had been considering that although Haishanghui had built a formation on the ground, the sky still couldn't be blocked. What if the person monitoring the sky made a mistake and didn't notice? Wouldn't the Divine Law God escape then? But how could Haishanghui make such a mistake?
At this moment, hundreds of players with flying pets rose into the air. The huge flying pets spread their wings simultaneously, and the powerful air currents rolled many unprepared players to the ground.
Nowadays, more than 30 players in the game mostly have mounts, and the number of players with riding pets is increasing. However, seeing hundreds of flying mount pets at the same time is still very astonishing.
The players who came to the Lost Village this time were mostly those with some fame in the villages and cities. They didn't have particularly strong abilities, and they wouldn't do this wanted mission. So, having hundreds of flying pets was really quite normal.
On the ground, thousands of players called friends and companions, mixed with the commands of some faction leaders, and various sounds of summoning mounts. Eventually, a huge stream of people rushed towards the small red dot that appeared in the distance. The earth trembled under the sound of horse hooves and various footsteps.
At the same time, over three thousand people simultaneously drew out their weapons, put on their best equipment, and Baxter was illuminated by countless equipment shining above the gold level in an instant.
The Phoenix in the distance seemed to be frightened by the scene before it, and began to turn. The players immediately chased after it.
I frowned, having a bad premonition. Turning to look at the players around me, in no time, they had chased after it by more than eighty percent.
Columbine's hundred members didn't leave at all.
Columbine was carefully questioning the reconnaissance soldiers of the rescue team who returned from the resurrection point. That was how he was hung up by the Phoenix attack and came back.
I walked over with a big step: "Columbine Commander, did he only receive the attack from the Phoenix and not see the Divine Law God?"
Columbine shuddered and stared at me for a while: "Yes!"
Tristram exclaimed beside him: "Oh my god, I'll go find the leader right away! They must be chasing after the Phoenix behind it!"
As experienced players, we all made judgments. The Phoenix was just a tool to distract the players. The Divine Law God might have already exploited the opportunity that Haishanghui would be attacked by the Phoenix to break the formation.
The Divine Law God's purpose was clearly in the Lost Village!
My heart became even more tense, and I ran to the transmission console to send a message to the two officers in Yangsi City. However, the system prompted: "The line is busy."
God knows how many people were sending false messages to them. I even suspected that some of the people sending the messages might be the accomplices of the Divine Law God.
Let's rely on ourselves. Now, the two magic pillars can only protect three-quarters of the houses. I began to build the third magic pillar.
This time, ignoring the distractions around me, I finally used "Heart Integration Technique" and placed "Speed Technique", "Inspiration Technique", and "Divine Blessing Technique" in the auxiliary bar. An hour later, the new Water and Earth magic pillars were built. The attack range was sixteen feet, the interval time was 1.8 seconds, and the damage was 800. The attack speed was even faster than the one built by my master. Ha, I'm really a genius!
Just at this moment, a figure appeared on the distant line. The players didn't notice it, but I was awakened by a familiar aura. I turned to look.
My vision was difficult to clearly see the figure, but the surrounding players also began to follow my gaze. Finally, when the figure approached to a hundred feet away, two archers with extremely strong vision simultaneously shouted: "It's the Divine Law God, the Divine Law God is coming!"
Almost simultaneously, a series of metal impacts sounded. The one hundred and more soldiers of the Columbine Mercenary Company simultaneously drew out their combat weapons. Columbine roared loudly: "K12-1 formation, assemble!"
"K" represents 11 people in a row, 12 in a column, and -1 indicates the formation arrangement of the troops.
The formation instantly formed. The outermost layer was the knights ready for an attack, in all four directions to prevent the Goddess of Magic from turning to the sides. The second layer was the soldiers waiting for a second attack, the third layer was the archers, the fourth layer was the mages, and the fifth layer was the priests and a monk. In the central layers, there were also about a dozen other classes of melee players mixed in to guard against the Goddess of Magic entering the inner layers.
In the center of the formation, a warrior held a large golden-edged blue flag. That was the banner of the mercenary company, with white clouds and a majestic golden dragon depicted on it. The light emitted from the banner enveloped the entire mercenary company, clearly enhancing the attributes of the entire formation.
With this formation's density, the Fantasy Goddess of Magic was definitely impossible to enter through space transfer. It seemed truly impregnable. And as the formation took shape, the strong momentum rushed straight up to the heavens. Columbine truly lived up to its name!
In the sky, there were also six members of the mercenary company circling. Behind the formation, Columbine led a teenager of about 14-15 years old walking slowly.
There were still about 500 players who remained in the village. Now, many of them had already ridden horses to chase after the companions taken away by the Phoenix, and some others were following behind the mercenary company to observe the situation.
Chico and Senorita were also alarmed and came out to see. Chico casually handed me and Senorita something: "Wind chime, big brother, let's use this."
I looked down and gasped: "Telescope!"
It turned out that after Chico used the lens I provided to make his own glasses, he had also assembled several telescopes. What a genius! How could I not have thought of that? I was speechless.
In the telescope, one could clearly see that the face of the Fantasy Goddess of Magic remained so cold, with no expression, and she continued to walk towards the mercenary company without stopping.
Just before the two sides got close, a loud shout came from the nearby hill: "Goddess of Magic! Let's fight with me first!"
A golden light flashed from the hill, and a figure like lightning passed by. Behind the figure was a series of rapid-moving remnants.
It was Lanxus. I sighed in regret. If he hadn't shouted first, the chances of success would have been much greater. However, with a distance of only twenty meters between them, with Lanxus's "supersonic" charge, the Goddess of Magic would definitely not have time to chant space transfer (here, "supersonic" is different from reality because the sound emitted by the game needs to go through system analysis, conversion, and player reaction processes, so the transmission of sounds in the game is much slower than in reality. So don't try to calculate how much time it takes for a "supersonic" charge to pass twenty meters).
But the Goddess of Magic's intuition was obviously too strong. She seemed to have completely anticipated that there was someone on the hill.
At the same time as Lanxus appeared from the hill, the Goddess of Magic had already sent out a fireball. By the time Lanxus charged in front of her, the second fireball had been emitted, turning Lanxus and his horse into white light.
Lanxus's gun had just pierced through the Goddess of Magic's body, but it missed the vital point and the power had not yet exhausted, causing about 100 points of damage. But seeing the Goddess of Magic losing health, the mercenaries far away suddenly gained morale and shouted: "Columbine! Columbine!"
Lanxus emerged from the resurrection point, angrily walking out of the village. I really couldn't bear to see him crash into the iron cavalry unit dozens of times, so I hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive."
Lanxus glared at me fiercely, suddenly smiling: "Do you think I'm going to avenge? I've tried once and know that this guy is better. Why bother trying again? You think I'm an idiot?" At that moment, I was in a state of shock. Lankes said, "The upcoming battle cannot be missed. The distance is so far. I can't see it. Of course, I need to get closer."
I waved my hand, and Chico took out another pair of binoculars. Lankes opened his big eyes and took a long while to come to his senses. He hurriedly took the binoculars and joined us to watch the distant scene attentively.
At this time, the formation and the god of magic were only about forty meters apart. Columbine gave an order, and the 11 knights simultaneously gathered their energy and charged forward!
The distance was so far that it was the limit for the knights to charge. Such a long-distance charge, even if the opponent was the god of magic, even ordinary mages had time to ride away or cast two spells. I don't know why Columbine gave such an order.
The god of magic coldly looked at the enemy in front of him. First, he released a fire field in front of him, then he added a fire wheel dance to himself. When the knights entered a distance of twenty meters, he released the first fire sea.
The fire sea landed on the knights, burning off nearly 300 health points. It seems that the god of magic's skills have become more proficient than before. With just one more fire sea, these knights of around level 40 would run out of health.
However, the god of magic wouldn't be so foolish as to release another fire sea. He had already begun to chant spatial transfer.
In that instant, the 11 knights almost simultaneously jumped off their horses and landed behind them!
Without the load of the horses, the speed soared. Before anyone could see clearly, the eleven warhorses had simultaneously collided with the god of magic, causing him to faint!
Although the god of magic had equipment that could resist abnormalities, and the horses without their masters relied only on inertia to collide, the combined force of the eleven horses couldn't allow the god of magic not to faint. While fainting, the god of magic was flung more than ten meters, and his health points dropped by 735!
A normal mage, at level 56, should have only about 600 health points. The god of magic clearly didn't belong to the normal category. However, I believe he wouldn't have much health left either.
The knights were about twenty meters away from their mounts. It seemed impossible to launch a second attack immediately. If we had left two knights to abandon the horses earlier, it would have been better.
Columbine obviously didn't expect that the god of magic would really be affected. He also didn't expect that the god of magic's physical defense and health points were so high. Now, he must be regretting not sending more knights to charge forward. Fortunately, he still had subsequent killing moves.
The knights didn't stop. Five of the knights suddenly grasped the tips of their comrades' guns, and then, the other five knights shouted in unison: "Big Windmill!"
The knight guns flew in a circle, and in an instant, they turned two circles. The knights on the guns all released their grips at the same time, and five figures shot out like arrows released from a bow!
Five knights with shining gold-colored guns, roaring through the sky, flew over a distance of more than twenty meters, landing with a slight pause. The three knights far from the god of magic turned and called their horses, while the two closest knights jumped up and charged directly towards the god of magic a few tens of meters away.
Knights without horses had much less power, but it was still possible to take out the god of magic by knocking off dozens of health points. In a fainting state, even the health potion couldn't be taken. The god of magic would surely not be able to escape this strike!
Such a brilliant design, such perfect cooperation, and the reactions of each knight were all so perfect. The Columbine mercenary group that was well-prepared was truly powerful! If the god of magic could survive like this, it would be beyond justice.
However, the concept of "justice" seems not to apply to the god of magic.
Just as the knight guns were about to touch the god of magic's body, there seemed to be a flash of purple light, and then, the guns of two knights suddenly stabbed to one side, and then, they were stunned there.
In the binoculars, the purple light was seen very clearly. My heart sank. Could it be that the god of magic was actually an intelligent program? In various games, purple light represents spiritual magic, but in a fainting state, it could be cast without chanting. Such a magic I only saw when facing Saint Magus Schak and the Bull Head God.
If this was the case, how could the god of magic be defeated? And based on the previous situation of the purple rain, it is very likely that he (it) is still protected by the game console!
I feel sad for the Columbine Mercenary Group, indignant towards the players of the Eagle Slayer Church, and fearful because the Village of Despair is about to be destroyed!
