So far, most of the mages had obviously accepted Roddy's solution. What happened next was much simpler. At least 18 mages quickly joined in to help Merlinsera and started to glue the Magic Crystal into "balls".
Soon, over 4,000 Magic Crystal of different sizes were piled up from the boxes that were continuously being transported out of the Magic Tower. Under the flickering light of spells, dozens of "Magic Crystal Balls" were quickly formed. Roddy did not stay idle either. He quickly walked to the pale Doris and Evelyn and said in a low voice, "I only have one thing to say: there is no turning back."
The two Tuk women looked at each other and knew that they had no choice now. They lowered their heads and said, "We will agree to anything!"
Rody did not speak any more nonsense. The two of them had just been released from their shackles. Doris had also put on a long robe, so the two of them did not show any abnormalities when they walked in front of the group of mages.
"The monsters will continue to strengthen themselves, so we do not have much time. Earlier on the way here, I found that Messenger Evelyn's team could use mental spells to drive away the murlocs, but the side effect of this spell would attract the 'Subsidiary Bodies'. This almost caused their entire team to be annihilated … "
Roddy's words were equivalent to "clearing" the identity of Evelyn and the others, making the Lassiman Council believe that the whole thing had nothing to do with them. Evelyn and Doris did not expect Roddy to resolve their worries as soon as he arrived. They felt relieved, and their tense expressions finally relaxed a little. At the same time, they felt grateful for their decision just now.
"In order to let the 'Air Expansion Circle' and the Magic Crystal Balls enter the 'Parent Body', we must attract the Subsidiary Bodies over. So now, I need the help of the two messengers."
"This is what we should do."
On the surface, Evelyn was still the leader of the Eiseka Diplomat Group, so her answer was neither servile nor overbearing, and there was no loophole at all.
The mages did not find any loophole and nodded in agreement. Doris took a deep breath and stepped forward to cast a spell. Evelyn, on the other hand, responded to Roddy's request and used her own magic circle to provide a "range enhancement" effect for Doris. In less than ten seconds, after Doris finished casting the spell, there was indeed a series of crackling noises. Roddy glanced at the tracking spell on the "Map Pane" and found that there were more than 30 Subsidiary Bodies rushing over!
At this time, the "Resurrected Murlocs" on the "Map Pane" had made a great contribution. Because they had not been "identified", they had almost no casualties. They had easily built a line of defense in the front. More than 70% of the charging Demonized Murlocs fell in their hands, and the remaining 30% were easily taken care by the human soldiers. But when more than thirty "Subsidiary Bodies" rushed over, neither the murlocs nor the human soldiers could effectively stop their crazy footsteps. The "Subsidiary Bodies" that were running at full speed even smashed through a few walls made of magic and rushed towards Doris without a care for their own safety!
This scene made the two Tuk women's faces turn pale. Evelyn, who had experienced this scene before, was trembling all over. Miranda and Jill were killed on the spot under this terrifying attack. The huge psychological trauma even made it difficult for her to hold the slate magic circle in her hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
The same thought appeared in both her and Doris's mind at the same time: I am the bait, and after using it, I can only wait for death …
"What are you waiting for? Retreat to the back! Hide, don't let them see you! "
In the midst of despair, Roddy's voice suddenly came. As he shouted, he reached out and pulled their shoulders, but it made them shiver at the same time.
Doris and Evelyn looked at each other and took a deep breath. Then, they ran toward the back that was surrounded by soldiers!
At least, they were not treated as sacrificial pawns …
Only when they were surrounded and protected by the soldiers with battle shields did the two of them start panting. Under the heavy protection, although Evelyn and Doris did not speak, they both had the same thought.
Roddy, who was in front, did not care what they thought. He was shouting at the magisters of the Lassiman Council, "Don't kill them! Control them! Let them know when to retreat! If they really can't hold them off, then kill them! "
"Understood!"
"Okay!"
A few of the Archmages responded, but most of them remained silent. They were older than Rody by a few decades and were not used to being commanded by a young man. However, they had no choice but to make such a choice because of the situation.
Roddy was not interested in paying attention to these people. After all, in the face of a threat to their lives, these people had to listen to him even if they looked down on him. So, he turned to Merlinsera and said, "Let's begin, we don't have much time left."
Merlinsera pointed her wand at the seventy to eighty "Magic crystal balls" in front of them. After chanting a simple spell, these "Magic crystal balls" instantly flew towards the "subsidiary bodies" that were pouncing on them. After she finished casting the spell, she moved closer to Roddy's ear and whispered, "Are you sure this method will work? You're not lying to me, right? "
"If it didn't work, I wouldn't dare to charge myself."
Roddy pretended to be relaxed as he replied.
Although that was what he said, the strength of the ancient sea beasts that were constantly increasing did give people a feeling that they were getting more and more dangerous. He stroked the taut bowstring and added in the light of the magisters, "I have to use the 'Fire Arrow' to go over. Cover me for a while."
"Okay."
Merlinsera did not waste any time. She turned around and started casting the spell. At the same time, the magisters' spells had already landed on the "subsidiary bodies" that were coming from all directions. "Path of Frost", "Entanglement of Vines", "Net of Fire", and other spells instantly blocked the enemies that were charging at the front. Those that tried to rush into the front line were all blasted away by the cavalry's "Charged Lance".
Even so, many of the "subsidiary bodies" still ignored the Magic crystal balls that landed beside them and squeezed forward with all their might. This situation quickly changed when a large-scale "Chain Lightning" was released. More than ten of the paralyzed "subsidiary bodies" were immediately flipped over. After they stood up tremblingly, they all gave up on charging forward and began to fight for the "Magic crystal balls" on the ground.
After all, the purpose of the subsidiary bodies' existence was to "collect energy". These balls were made from the high-grade Magic crystal stored in "Corumir". Although they were not large in size, each of them contained an astonishing amount of energy. In comparison, the result of the "subsidiary bodies" rummaging through Duriel City for half an hour couldn't even be compared to the "Magic crystal balls" in front of them!
Countless tentacles entangled and fought with each other. The winner swallowed the "Magic crystal ball" on the spot and decisively turned around to leave. The craze quickly spread, and the "subsidiary bodies" lost interest in charging toward Doris. Instead, they quickly fought for the "Air Expansion Magic Circle" and the ten balls.
This scene further confirmed Roddy's conjecture about the "parent body" and "subsidiary bodies". The magisters who were originally biased against them no longer said anything. They watched as the monsters ran toward the "parent body" and then looked at Roddy.
"Just attack within a kilometer! Don't worry about me! "
With a quiver and bone bow on his back, Roddy jumped onto the "Fire Crossbow" with the slate "Activation Magic Circle" made by Jeremy. After Merlinsera stood behind the driver's seat, he pushed the "forward lever" and rushed toward the street.
The soldiers on the front line had already made way, and the "Resurrected Fishmen" who were fighting on the periphery also moved to the sides under Akasha's control. In the blink of an eye, Roddy's "Fire Crossbow" rushed straight through and led the way into the night.
Rody, who had the Acute Sense of the Environment, didn't need any light to see the enemies on the street. However, he didn't need to dodge to the left or right because the conical shield that Merlinsera maintained in front of him with her magic wand was enough to repel the enemies that didn't have eyes. Even the corpses on the ground would be pushed aside.
Seeing this, the magisters at the back didn't hesitate. They all cast "Fly" and other similar skills and flew forward. After all, they definitely didn't want to fall behind a "foreigner" at this time.
This charge was equivalent to almost 70% of Lassman's high-end combat power. Basically, all the "battle-type" magisters were mobilized, including a few members of the parliament who thought that they were not weak.
In other words, Roddy's attack was tantamount to the final battle between Lassman and the primordial sea monster.
The remaining soldiers and mages of Lassman looked at the powerful beings flying over their heads, and couldn't help but shout the slogan "Long live Lassman". Because even ordinary people with low strength could feel the heroism of these figures.
It was very likely that this attack would succeed or die.
The dim and full of holes in the Magic Tower of Colomier was like a traveler in the darkness waiting for death. President Jeremy had already filled up the battle line with all the puppets he could control. At this moment, he could only look up at the darkness in the distance and grasp the wand in his hand.
But no one noticed that … when all the magisters rushed out, Lotica, who had previously left the top of the tower with the excuse that he had "exhausted his magic power", silently followed the team and disappeared into the night.
*****
"Crack crack …"
The sound of wood cracking continued in the darkness. This was because half of the primordial sea monster's body had already stepped on land. The weight of its huge body supported by countless tentacles was astonishing. The wooden buildings on the dock were obviously unable to support it and were crushed on the spot.
What followed was the entrance of the city wall that had originally blocked the merpeople from the bloody battle, followed by the taverns and shops.
The people hiding in the houses were almost squashed into meat paste before they could even react. Even now, half of the primordial sea monster's body was still in the sea.
Without the support of buoyancy, the energy required to move its huge body increased by several times, which caused it to stop after moving for a period of time.
This was because it felt that if it continued to move forward, it wouldn't have enough energy.
In the night, a low, stifling buzzing sound rang out. Even the people hiding in the houses covered their ears in pain because of this sound. In the dark city, the "subsidiary bodies" that had been looking around for Magic Crystal suddenly stopped moving. Then, most of them turned around and began to return to the "parent body".
They were all collecting Magic Crystal and had not yet reached the "full load" level. At this time, they hurriedly returned to solve the urgent need of energy for the "parent body". Amidst the noise of countless tentacles climbing over the walls, the people hiding in the houses were so scared that they held their breath.
Among them, the three assassins who watched helplessly as the "parent body" approached and stopped in front of them all had cold sweat on their backs.
They had originally planned to hide here, but now it seemed that if they did not leave quickly, they would end up like those houses that had been crushed. But if they got up and left, who could guarantee that they could successfully escape from the attack of the merpeople and the "subsidiary bodies"?
"… Should we go?"
"That thing stopped. Is it waiting for something?"
"It can't be waiting for anything. It's waiting for us. We have to leave, or it'll be too late!"
Mage Bretton growled. In the end, the three decided to take the risk and leave. But as soon as they jumped down from the roof, they saw the large number of "subsidiary bodies" returning like a tide!
"F * ck!"
Assassin Ethan cursed. The three realized that things were not looking good for them. But just as they were about to use all kinds of methods to kill their way out, they saw the "subsidiary bodies" passing in front of them as if they did not see them at all!
The tentacles passed by just a few meters away from them, but they did not even pay attention to the three of them. Ethan, who was holding a dagger, gulped and whispered to the puppet master Cierda, who was leaning back against him, "What … What's going on?"
"I don't know!"
Sharda replied. When he saw more "Subsidiary Bodies" flying past him, he wanted to grab the horses and jump on them. However, he found that the three horses were extremely resistant to the sound of the behemoth in the distance. They were not willing to cooperate at all.
"We can't ride them anymore! Let's go! "
In a moment of desperation, Mage Bretton immediately made a decision. He cast a "Lighten Body" spell on himself and his two companions, and the three immediately headed towards the north of the city. At first, they were frightened by the monsters that kept coming, but when more than a dozen "Children" ignored them, they calmed down a lot and moved faster and faster.
In the night, the three of them were not afraid of the merpeople that had scattered. Spells and daggers easily took care of the blue-gilled merpeople that tried to get close. But before they could run far, they suddenly saw a red light slowly appearing in the sky.
Looking back, the giant beast that had stopped moving had strange archetypal patterns on its body. As a mage, Bretton could tell at a glance that the patterns seemed to be in harmony with the rhythm of some kind of spell. And before he could identify it clearly, a series of "spheres" with a diameter of more than a meter shot out from the center of the patterns …
"Bam bam bam!"
The flickering light of the shield reflected in Bretton's eyes. Only then did he realize that there were many figures with powerful magic floating in the sky in front of him. And these small "meatballs" that were flying extremely fast were obviously the giant beast's means of attack!
"Let's go … The mages of Lassiman are all here!"
