Besides, in the sky, Ujfalusi and Norfeller blocked the attacks of the Vampires for the expedition. The two Dracoliches wandered around the team and blocked the Undead Greater Demons for the expedition. They also killed a large number of other Undead creatures.
Under such circumstances, even the arrogant people of the Rotterdam Kingdom could not blame the Tower of Dusk. After all, it was their ability to not suffer any casualties. If they were to be calculative about it, they would be asking to be humiliated.
However, seeing that more and more of their subordinates were dying, no one would not feel distressed or anxious. Donald hesitated again and again, and finally approached Lin Li with Archbishop Martin. He said, "President Felic, you've also seen that our team has suffered a lot of casualties. If this goes on, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the destination that you mentioned, and we won't be able to go any further. Do you have any other ways to speed up our progress? "
This time, Donald changed his habit of addressing Lin Li with honorifics. Clearly, he no longer dared to treat the Tower of Dusk as an unknown force. Which small force could have an artifact that could instantly kill a peak Legendary powerhouse? Which small force could summon two level-23 Dark Mages at once? Donald even guessed that the Tower of Dusk might be another name for the Supreme Council, or a direct force of the Supreme Council.
There were magical weapons that could instantly kill a peak Legendary powerhouse, and then there were magical artifacts that could summon two Dark Mages. That made Donald almost certain that the Tower of Dusk probably had some trump cards that they had yet to reveal. However, Donald was also clear that he did not have any friendship with the Tower of Dusk, and his reputation would not be of much use to them. Hence, he pulled Archbishop Martin along in hopes of persuading the President of the Tower of Dusk to reveal more trump cards.
In the first two times, Lin Li could be said to have granted all requests. He first sent Ujfalusi and Norfeller to resist the Vampires, and then summoned the twin Dracoliches to stop the Undead Greater Demons. However, this time, after hearing Donald's words, Lin Li did not take out anything. He simply glanced at Donald calmly, and said, "Master Donald, please note that we are collaborators, and I'm not your nanny. If you don't show your value, is there a need for this partnership to continue?"
No matter what, the Rotterdam Kingdom had survived from the Dark Age, and was almost not affected by the war at the end of the Dark Age. It would be impossible to say that they did not have any foundation. Lin Li did not believe that Donald and the others would dare to explore the Immortal King's Sky Castle with their Alchemy Colossuses that had not even reached the Legendary-level.
Although Lin Li did not have to care if the Rotterdam Kingdom had any powerful trump cards with his current strength, there was no need for him to babysit them. Cannon fodder had to have its own value. If the Rotterdam Kingdom didn't even have that value, why would Lin Li spend so much effort to bring them to Osric?
Donald's expression froze when he heard Lin Li, and Lin. and Lin. "Lin," Donald said, "Donald and Sky Castle, Lin"., "," Lin, "Donald", and Li,, "Lin,", King, and, and, Lin, ", and,", ",,, and,", "Sky"
In the history of Anril, there had been plenty of people who had been scammed by their former collaborators when they were exploring the ruins in search of treasures because they didn't have enough trump cards. If it was just the Rotterdam Kingdom, Donald naturally wouldn't have any concerns, and he would definitely use whatever means he had.
However, be it the Tower of Dusk or the Brilliance Shrine, they did not have a trustworthy relationship with the Rotterdam Kingdom. Hence, they definitely wouldn't have any psychological burden at all. In fact, there had been plenty of brothers who had fallen out because of treasures in history. The only one that could be trusted was themselves. Under such circumstances, if Donald did not hold back, he would have lived for so long in vain.
However, the other party had already put it this way. If Donald did not come up with something, it would be tantamount to admitting that the Rotterdam Kingdom was not strong enough, and they might really terminate the cooperation. Through his understanding of the previous battles, Donald had to admit that the Tower of Dusk and the Brilliance Shrine might not necessarily be unable to withstand the attacks of the Undead creatures without his team. However, if he were to leave the two forces, it would probably be difficult for him to persist even if he took out his trump cards.
At the thought of this, Donald had no choice but to smile awkwardly despite his reluctance. He said, "We have indeed prepared some things, and we plan to use them at the most critical juncture. Since you feel that it's necessary now, we have no choice but to take them out in advance."
Upon hearing this, Archbishop Martin couldn't help but secretly purse his lips. He had to admit that the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom really knew how to save face for themselves. They made it sound like they had to take action because others couldn't do it.
However, he did not care about Donald's thoughts at all. As long as they could show some value, he could say whatever he wanted.
Not only did he fail to make the other party take out more trump cards, but he was also forced to do so. Although Donald had regained some of his pride, he did not feel very comfortable. However, now that things had come to this, they might really be abandoned by the other party if they didn't take out some real trump cards.
Soon, Donald brought 10 Archmages from his side who had never taken action before to the front of the team. Then, at Donald's request, the team temporarily stopped in their tracks, and the 10 Archmages made use of this time to begin chanting the summoning incantations.
Next, an Alchemy Array appeared in front of each of the 10 Archmages, which was the Alchemy Space that the Alchemists used to open up. As the light of the Alchemy Array gradually became brighter, tall figures gradually appeared in the Alchemy Array.
It seemed that those things should also be Alchemy Colossuses, but they were not humanoid ones. Those Alchemy Colossuses had four legs on the ground, and were supporting an egg-shaped body that looked a bit like a giant steel spider. After summoning those strange Alchemy Colossuses, the 10 Archmages immediately used the Levitation Spell to fly up, and soon entered the egg-shaped bodies of their respective Alchemy Colossuses.
Seeing this, the people outside of the Rotterdam Kingdom couldn't help but be curious. The newly summoned Alchemy Colossuses didn't seem to have any offensive power, so why did they become the secret weapons of the Rotterdam Kingdom?
However, just when everyone was feeling puzzled, the egg-shaped bodies of the Alchemy Colossuses made a sound, and the front of the body slowly split open. Next, a barrel that was as thick as a bucket extended out from inside. Seeing this, everyone finally understood that it was simply a freaking mobile Magical Crystal Cannon!
Given the relationship between the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, it would not be difficult for them to get some Magical Crystal Cannons. Besides, there was no doubt about the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons. The only problem was that the Magical Crystal Cannons were not convenient to move, and could only be fixed on the city walls to defend the city. However, the Rotterdam Kingdom was good at alchemy, and using the technology of the Alchemy Colossuses to build a mobile turret for the Magical Crystal Cannons was indeed not a problem.
The mobile Magical Crystal Cannons seemed relatively simple, but at the thought of the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons, they were simply magical weapons that could be used to attack cities. However, what really restricted the popularity of the Magical Crystal Cannons was not their cost, but their consumption of magical crystals. Not every force could afford to use the cannons. It was no wonder that the Rotterdam Kingdom did not use them during the previous crises even though they had them.
The appearance of the 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons did indeed give many a great shock, but Lin Li merely took a glance at them, and was no longer interested in looking at them. They were just Magical Crystal Cannons. The Tower of Dusk had installed no less than 100 Magical Crystal Cannons on the tower and the Eternal Furnace alone. Besides, there were more than 10 Magical Crystal Cannons that were powered by Legendary magical crystals in Lin Li's Ring of Endless Storm.
Of course, the mobility of the four legs was also considered a highlight. At least, it was more adaptable than the wheels on the ground. However, that highlight was not attractive to Lin Li at all. If he wanted to, he could even get Angelano to build a mobile Magical Crystal Cannons that could fly in the sky. However, was that necessary?
However, Lin Li's indifference was obviously pretentious in the eyes of Donald and the other people of the Rotterdam Kingdom. After summoning the mobile Magical Crystal Cannons, Donald puffed up his chest and raised his chin. He had regained his previous arrogant look. He pointed the staff in his hand forward, and the 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons moved forward neatly. They walked behind the Alchemy Colossuses at the front, and extended the barrels of the Magical Crystal Cannons through the gap.
"Fire the cannons!" Donald gave the order confidently.
The 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons stood firmly on the ground, and the muzzles that were extended were shrouded in a ball of dazzling magical light. Next, 10 thick mana cannons were shot towards the depths of the Undead creatures, and all the Undead creatures that were blocked by the mana cannons turned into ashes in an instant.
This time, a large number of Undead creatures in front of the expedition were wiped out in the blink of an eye. It was impossible to calculate how many Undead creatures had been annihilated by the Magical Crystal Cannons. Seizing this opportunity, the expedition immediately strode forward, and only stopped when the Undead creatures filled the empty space again.
"President Felic, what do you think of our new Alchemy Colossuses?" Donald asked Lin Li while showing off a little. At the same time, he also wanted to provoke Lin Li into showing off his trump card.
However, in the face of Donald's bragging, Lin Li's expression did not change at all, and he simply answered calmly, "Continue."
Upon hearing this, Donald almost vomited blood out of frustration. Clearly, Lin Li did not intend to show any more trump cards, and instead wanted them to use the Magical Crystal Cannons to clear the way. However, once the Magical Crystal Cannons were fired, a level-10 magical crystal would be gone, and a level-15 magical crystal would not be able to withstand a few shots at all. Looking at the distance between the expedition and their destination, God knew how many cannons they would have to fire along the way. Even if they used Legendary magical crystals as power, they would not be able to support it at all.
Although the Rotterdam Kingdom had also obtained a lot of magical crystals during the previous exploration, the Magical Crystal Cannons and Alchemy Colossuses were bottomless pits that consumed magical crystals. That was simply akin to asking the Rotterdam Kingdom to spit out what they had already eaten, and it might not even be enough.
However, he was just showing off just now, yet he immediately said that it was no good? No matter how thick-skinned Donald was, he could not find a reason to refuse at this juncture. He had no choice but to swallow his pride.
Although the 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons did not catch Lin Li's attention, the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons was still there. As long as he was willing to spend some magical crystals, they would be able to play a rather good role. The 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons continuously fired cannons, clearing a large area of space in front of the expedition again and again. That immediately increased the speed of the expedition's advancement.
As they got closer and closer to their destination, the shadow that shrouded the sky became clearer and clearer in everyone's vision. After continuing to advance for another day and night, the members of the expedition finally knew what the massive shadow was.
No one could imagine that the shadow that shrouded the sky from afar was actually an incomparably large ancient tree. The thick trunk was like a mountain, and one might not be able to finish running a lap around it even after running for a few days and nights. The canopy of the ancient tree was so huge that it blocked out the sun and the sky. Standing under the tree, one might not be able to see the sunrise and sunset at all, and they might not even be able to see the sky at the end of their line of sight.
If it was just a giant tree, it would not be enough to shock them. What really made the members of the expedition feel incredulous was that the form of the giant tree was something that no one had ever seen before. Although the giant tree was lush and leafy, it did not give off a sense of vitality. Every leaf on the canopy was yellowish and gray in color, emitting an extremely strong aura of death.
The trunk of the giant tree was also filled with thick bone spikes, and every bone spike seemed to be breathing as they constantly spat out black fog. If one had good eyesight, they would be able to see various Undead creatures falling from the black fog from time to time. Obviously, the world full of Undead creatures originated from this giant Undead tree.
A giant tree in the form of an Undead, a giant tree that could continuously breed Undead creatures … The members of the expedition could not believe their eyes. How could a tree be transformed into an Undead form, and even breed Undead creatures? This was already completely against the common sense that they were familiar with.
However, the members of the expedition did not have the time to think about this problem carefully. This was because just as they got closer to the giant Undead tree, countless figures suddenly flew out from the huge and dense canopy. When they saw the appearance of those figures clearly, they could not help but gasp as they felt their scalps go numb.
