Lin Li did not want to have to fly every time he returned to the Sky Castle. He felt that it would be more convenient to open a Teleportation Portal with a wave of his hand. Hence, the first thing Lin Li had to do was to reset the teleportation function of the Sky Castle. Fortunately, Lin Li had already obtained a lot of information about the Sky Castle from the control crystal. Hence, it was not difficult to set it up. All he had to do was to set up a teleportation sign on the Teleportation Portal of the Sky Castle and activate the teleportation function.
Just as the Sky Castle was flying towards the Breezy Plains, the Tower of Dusk was shrouded in a thick fog of war in Doland of the Breezy Plains.
When Lin Li left three years ago, there was already a prototype of a Magic City around the Tower of Dusk. After three years of development, the Magic City had now become even larger. However, the Magic City at this moment did not have the aura of a newly built city, especially the buildings on the periphery of the city, which were full of traces of war.
Outside the Magic City, a team of thousands of mages and mercenaries was launching a fierce attack on the Magic City. Dozens of powerful siege weapons were constantly roaring. Large stone balls that were burning with flames and huge crossbow bolts that were as thick as a human's waist were continuously bombarding the walls of the Magic City, causing ripples on the magic shield that shrouded the walls.
Canuman, the President of the Geresco City Guild of Magic, was the one who was commanding the team to attack the Tower of Dusk. There were also a few people standing around Canuman whose aura was no weaker than his. Judging from their attire, they clearly did not belong to the Guild of Magic. In fact, some of them were not even humans.
There was a one-eyed dwarf with a cruel expression on his face, an elf with blood-colored tattoos on his face, a necromancer with a hood covering his face, and a half-snake with a seductive upper body and a snake lower body. There were also a few human powerhouses, including Sword Sages, Assassins, and of course, mages. However, none of them seemed to be kind.
"Canuman, didn't you say that they can't withstand a single blow at all? Why haven't they broken into the city after more than 10 days?" That elf, whose face was painted with blood-colored patterns, didn't have the slightest natural aura of an elf. Instead, his entire body exuded a bloody aura, as if he had soaked in a pool of blood.
This elf was one of the fallen elves, a blood elf who had betrayed the Goddess of Nature and thrown himself into the arms of the demons. They abandoned their faith in the Goddess of Nature and traded with the devils in exchange for great power. In order to obtain the souls to exchange for power with the devils, they immersed themselves in endless slaughter.
Canuman glanced at the elf, and did not get angry because of the other party's mockery, because he knew that this was how the damned fallen elves behaved. At the same time, they also had the strength to match it. Although Canuman had successfully stepped into the peak of the Legendary-realm during the magic tides, he still did not have enough confidence to gain the upper hand against the blood elf.
"Vesha, the battle here is too boring. Why don't we return to the tent and do something interesting?" The one-eyed dwarf held onto the giant axe that was planted on the ground, and flirted with the serpentine woman beside him as if the others were air to him.
The serpentine woman, Vesha, did not show any weakness in the face of the one-eyed dwarf's flirting. She smiled, and said, "Sure, I hope your bones are stronger than I thought." While speaking, she swung her long snake tail twice behind her.
"These mercenaries are really slippery. They only know how to take the money, and don't know how to do things. Seems like we need to give them some motivation." The Necromancer whose face was wrapped in a large hood said in a hoarse voice, and before the people beside him could speak, he raised the Skeletal Staff in his hand.
All of a sudden, a cloud of black fog appeared on the battlefield, and surged towards the mercenary corps that were attacking the city like a tide. All the mercenaries that were touched by the black fog immediately let out shrill screams as if they had suffered great pain. When the screams disappeared, the mercenaries who had been eroded by the black fog had completely changed. Their skin and flesh had already fallen off, and they had become Skeletal Warriors.
However, the Skeletal Warriors that had been transformed from living beings were emitting a silver glow due to the fact that all the power in their bodies had been condensed into their bones. Clearly, they were much stronger than ordinary Skeletal Warriors. Besides, unlike ordinary Skeletal Warriors who only knew how to fight based on their instincts, they had inherited most of the combat experience from when they were alive. Hence, not only did their strength not weaken, it even increased to the maximum.
"Damn it! Sandos, do you want us to become the public enemy of the entire continent? " Canuman wanted to stop them, but it was too late. He had no choice but to holler at the Necromancer in exasperation.
"Canuman, your mission is to attack the Tower of Dusk and get the Tree of Eternity. You don't have to worry about anything else. Besides, let me remind you that our people won't be able to stall the Ashen Warlock for long. If he rushes over in time, you'll be punished for your failure, "the Necromancer Sandos warned Canuman in a gloomy tone.
Hearing Sandos' warning, Canuman immediately lost his temper, and had no choice but to turn around and order his team to attack with all their might. In fact, there was no need for him to give the order. The mercenaries had all turned into Skeletal Warriors who were not afraid of pain or death. Hence, they naturally changed their previous sneaky behavior and devoted all their efforts to the battle.
Although Canuman's mages were shocked by the changes of the mercenaries, they did not cause any commotion because of it. Instead, they still strictly carried out Canuman's orders, and blasted a large number of magic spells at the gate of the Magic City opposite them.
Sandos' words clearly reminded the blood elf and the others, who dared not watch the battle leisurely anymore. One by one, they took out their weapons and joined the siege. The one-eyed dwarf waved his wheeled axes, and the blood elf drew his blood-colored longbow. Sandos even summoned the Tide of Death, and threw the endless Undead Army into the battle.
Although the defense of the Tower of Dusk was strong, it was mainly due to the tower and the Eternal Furnace. The defense of the Magic City outside, especially the part that was built after Lin Li left, was relatively weaker because Lin Li did not set up any mageweaths or Alchemy Arrays. Besides, on the enemy's side, apart from the mages and the fearless Undead Army, there were also several powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm. That power was far beyond what the Tower of Dusk could withstand.
Finally, the gate of the Magic City collapsed with a loud roar, and the Undead Army was like a flood that had opened the floodgates. They waved the weapons in their hands and surged into the city frantically. Fortunately, the Tower of Dusk was already prepared to retreat. Hence, there were not too many casualties amidst the chaos.
"Damn it, there's actually another line of defense!" Canuman and the others cursed in unison after seeing the scene behind the gate.
The second line of defense of the Tower of Dusk was built on the foundation of the building from three years ago. Due to Lin Li's various designs, the defense of this line of defense was far stronger than the previous one.
However, even though they had retreated to a stronger line of defense, Gavin and the other senior executives who were in charge of commanding the Tower of Dusk still did not look relaxed. When Lin Li went to explore the Sky Castle, he took away most of the elite forces of the Tower of Dusk, and none of the Legendary-level high-end combat power was left behind. The enemies they were facing now numbered six to seven peak Legendary-level powerhouses, and the difference in strength was too great. Even if they had a strong line of defense, they probably would not be able to last long.
"Gavin, I think we'd better retreat to the Eternal Furnace. Only with the power of the Eternal Furnace can we resist these enemies," said the senior executives of the Tower of Dusk who were standing in front of the tower anxiously. Indeed, although there were a few Legendary-mages in the Tower of Dusk now under the influence of the magic tides, how could those who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm compare to powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm?
Indeed, the Eternal Furnace at the top of the tower was the only thing that could allow the mages of the Tower of Dusk to temporarily gain more power to fight against the invading enemies. Of course, Gavin knew that too, but retreating to the Eternal Furnace would mean giving up on everything else, the Magic Castle that had just been established, and even the Tower of Dusk.
Of course, Gavin knew that too, but retreating to the Eternal Furnace would mean giving up on everything else, the Magic Castle that had just been established, and even the Tower of Dusk. Even if they managed to defeat the enemies with the power of the Eternal Furnace in the end, it would not be easy for the Tower of Dusk to return to its previous state. It was almost equivalent to starting over from scratch.
If Lin Li was still in the Tower of Dusk, the Tower of Dusk would be able to recover extremely quickly even if they were to start all over again. However, the problem was that Lin Li had left the Tower of Dusk for three years. Even if Gavin firmly believed that Lin Li would return safely, he did not know when he would return. Gavin did not want Lin Li to return only to find that the Tower of Dusk had declined or even disappeared.
That was the very reason that Gavin had formulated such a defensive plan in order to preserve the assets of the Tower of Dusk as much as possible so that they would not be unable to recover due to the huge losses after the battle.
"Get ready to activate the All-Kill Array and charge the Magical Crystal Cannons." Gavin looked at the Undead army that was attacking the second line of defense, and helplessly gave a new order to his subordinates.
When Lin Li left the Tower of Dusk, he actually left enough magical crystals for the Tower of Dusk, but no matter how many there were, they would be used up eventually. Gavin did not know when Lin Li would return, either, so he dared not go all out at once. What if he used up all the magical crystals, and there was no use for them at the critical moment?
However, Gavin had no choice but to make up his mind now. If he still did not make up his mind, he was afraid that he would not have another chance in the future. If the enemy really attacked, all the magical crystals he saved would only end up in the hands of others.
With Gavin's order, the entire Tower of Dusk was instantly shrouded by a faint light shield, and a terrifying and destructive aura that was filled with murderous evil spread in all directions with the Tower of Dusk as the center. On the top floor of the Tower of Dusk, the sealed windows were opened, and the barrels of the Magical Crystal Cannons popped out of the windows. The muzzles of the cannons also shone with the light of mana condensation.
Seeing the changes in the Tower of Dusk, Canuman hurriedly reminded everyone, "Be careful, the Tower of Dusk has a mageweath array known as the All-Kill Array. It's said to be a Guru-level mageweath array, and its power is extraordinary. Besides, there are more than 20 Magical Crystal Cannons installed on the top of the tower. "
"All-Kill Array? What arrogance! Then let me see how he kills in every direction! " The Necromancer Sandos exclaimed in disdain towards Canuman's reminder. He waved the Skeletal Staff in his hand forward, and immediately opened four more vortex-shaped doors in front of everyone. He actually cast five Tides of Death at the same time.
One had to know that when the Tide of Death was in operation, it would continuously consume the caster's mana. Therefore, even if some Necromancers could cast five to ten Tides of Death at once, they wouldn't have enough mana to maintain their operation. They might as well focus on maintaining a single Tide of Death.
However, the Necromancer Sandos clearly did not care about the mana consumption of five Tides of Death. Although he had not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, his massive mana was already not something that ordinary Legendary-mages could compare to.
The five Tides of Death and five Undead armies almost filled the space outside the Tower of Dusk's line of defense. The fearless Skeletal Warriors rushed to the front, while the Hell Ghouls continuously fired Hellfire Bombs at the Tower of Dusk's line of defense like raindrops. A group of Vampires hovered in the sky, looking for an opportunity to attack. Behind them were more than 10 massive Humerus Wyrms that were spewing corrosive dragon breath.
Under the siege of the army of Undead creatures, the Tower of Dusk simply became a reef in the vast ocean that would be drowned at any moment.
However, the Tower of Dusk did not show any signs of weakness. The All-Kill Array was finally fully activated, and the terrifying power immediately shrouded the Tower of Dusk. The Undead creatures that rushed into the All-Kill Array seemed to have fallen into a stone mill as they were ground into a pile of bone powder in an instant.
The 20-odd Magical Crystal Cannons above the Tower of Dusk also shot out incomparably solid mana cannons at this moment. The beams of light formed a dazzling pillar of light that blasted towards the enemy's team with a destructive aura. Every time the cannons landed, they would plough out a long empty area in the Undead army. There were also some cannons that were shot at the Humerus Wyrms in the sky. Clearly, the Humerus Wyrms were not real wyrm skeletons. Under the bombardment of the powerful mana cannons, some of the Humerus Wyrms actually disintegrated on the spot.
