#733: The darkness is near again

The gaze of Kelunde complexion gloomy the present crystal ball, in the image in crystal ball, he can see the war between water and fire element clearly. The inherent resistance makes these summoning fire element creature almost not be willing to obey its direction, but has charged into the present natural enemy directly. However now, Kelunde already not angry this crowd of damn element creature chaotic instinct. On the contrary, this Lich feels the incomparable doubts and shock. 柯伦德面色阴沉的注视着眼前的水晶球,在水晶球中的影像里,他可以清楚的看见水与火元素之间的战争。与生俱来的对抗使得那些自己召唤出来的火元素生物几乎不愿意听从它的指挥,而是径直冲向了眼前的天敌。不过现在,柯伦德已经不恼怒这群该死的元素生物的混乱天性了。相反,这位巫妖感觉到无比的疑惑与震惊。 Opposite party unexpectedly preparation full of such?! 对方居然准备的这么充分？！ Although was stolen away after Burning Fire Plains Illusory World Key, Kelunde has been psychologically prepared that the opposite party will have dealt with, after all can steal away Illusory World Key, moreover started Summoning Stone to create to oneself conveniently a little small troublesome, this fully explained that own enemy could judge the quality of goods. But the opposite party steals Illusory World Key, obviously also to deal with Burning Fire Plains fire element creature, Kelunde has to think this point, at that time but he expected most also will be the opposite party very much may increase some Elementalist pointed use spell to come defense, or will summon same fire element creature to attack. Kills Kelunde unable to think, the opposite party can have Illusory World Key unexpectedly similarly! 虽然从燃火平原的幻界密钥被偷走之后,柯伦德就已经做好了对方会有所应对的心理准备,毕竟能够偷走幻界密钥,而且还顺手启动了召唤石给自己造成了一点儿小麻烦,这就足以说明自己的敌人是识货的。而对方偷去幻界密钥,显然也是为了应对燃火平原的火元素生物,柯伦德不是没有想过这一点,可是那个时候他所预想的最多也不过是对方很有可能会增加一些元素法师针对性的使用法术来防御,又或者召唤出同样的火元素生物来进攻而已。打死柯伦德都想不到,对方居然会同样拥有幻界密钥！ No, thinks carefully, since the opposite party understood own here element transmission, then has Illusory World Key not to be considered as that any extraordinary matter. But in such a short time, did he possibly summon such many water element creature? Similarly as Caster, moreover is expert in the alchemy creation Caster, Kelunde understands certainly that the expansion element channel is a how difficult matter. However now, the great waves that surges upward from the crystal ball and emerges, but water element creature, the element channel of opposite party is not only obviously stable, but also level is also very high. This makes Kelunde be puzzling, because during the beforehand fight report, had not mentioned this Fortress Master has Sea of Silver Illusory World Key. Also had not mentioned he summoned water element creature to come and news of Undead Army fight. Is mentioned on the contrary fox-eared young girl has the news of formidable fire element attribute magic attack, why this will be Kelunde will also choose Burning Fire Plains Illusory World Key brings, and will open the reason here, if the opposite party will have Illusory World Key, water element creature in the beforehand fight has not summoned possibly is right. If he already knows that the opposite party has the Sea of Silver key, Kelunde stupidly to making this matter! 不,仔细想想,对方既然了解自己这边的元素传送,那么拥有幻界密钥也不算是什么了不起的事情。可是在这么短的时间内,他怎么可能召唤出如此之多的水元素生物？同样作为施法者,而且还是专精炼金创造的施法者,柯伦德当然明白扩展元素通道是件多么困难的事情。但是现在,从水晶球中那高涨的浪涛和涌现而出的水元素生物来看,对方的元素通道显然不仅非常稳固,而且等级也很高。这让柯伦德百思不得其解,因为在之前的战斗报告之中,一点儿都没有提到过这座要塞的主人拥有白银之海的幻界密钥。也没有提到过他召唤出水元素生物来和不死大军战斗的消息。反倒是提到有一个狐耳少女拥有强大的火元素属性魔法攻击的消息,这也是为什么柯伦德才会选择将燃火平原的幻界密钥带来并且开启在这里的原因,如果对方真的有幻界密钥,没有可能在之前的战斗中一点儿水元素生物都不召唤才对。如果他早就知道对方拥有白银之海的密钥,柯伦德才不会愚蠢到做出这种事情来！ could it be that after beforehand fights, have they constructed together with Sea of Silver Teleportation Gate? Crack a joke! The construction transfer passage costs time, especially jumps over the time that the high level transfer passage requires to spend longer, this is why Kelunde will choose with the quantity makes up for the quality the reason to be. If possible, he also hopes that can construct highest level Teleportation Gate. What matter then summoned the flame demon not to come out then didn't have? 难道说是在之前的一战之后,他们才建造了连同白银之海的传送门？开什么玩笑！建造传送通道可是非常耗费时间的,特别是越高级的传送通道所需要花费的时间就越长,这就是为什么柯伦德会选择用数量来弥补质量的原因所在。如果可能的话,他也希望能够一直建造最高等级的传送门。然后召唤个炎魔出来不就什么事的没有了？ The premise is rear area can give him patiently five to the words that ten years and even more time toss about here, but very obvious that absolutely is impossible. 前提是后方能够耐心给他五到十年乃至更多的时间在这里折腾的话,不过很明显那绝对是不可能的。 „What's all this about!” “这是怎么回事！” Kelunde is staring at the present crystal ball carefully, a moment later turning head of his gloomy, looks to side uneasy Schrodinger, complexion that this pitiful Vampire Mage frightens now is pale. Trembles from top to bottom. He can feel anger and chill in the air in the Kelunde eye sending out, but regarding the present scene, Schrodinger is also puzzling. 柯伦德仔细的凝视着眼前的水晶球,片刻之后他阴沉的回过头,望向旁边忐忑不安的施罗丁格,这个可怜的吸血种法师现在吓的面色惨白。浑身上下瑟瑟发抖。他可以感觉到柯伦德眼中所散发出来的怒气和寒意,但是对于眼前的情景,施罗丁格也是百思不得其解。 „I, I do not know, Sir Kelunde. I can promise you, before with the fight of Sir Simon, they indeed has not summoned any water element creature to carry on the attack. Not is only I, General Bidar and Commander Saiboen can also prove this point, they indeed had not summoned water element creature before.” “我,我不知道,柯伦德大人。我可以向您保证,在之前和赛门大人的战斗中,他们的确没有召唤出任何水元素生物进行进攻。不仅仅是我,比达尔将军和赛博恩指挥官也可以证明这一点,他们之前的确从来没有召唤过水元素生物啊。” „Snort! could it be you want to say that they are after this short within several day did have so high-level Teleportation Gate?!” “哼！难道你想说,他们就是在这之后短短的数天之内就拥有了如此高等级的传送门吗？！” Looks at present gingerly Vampire. Kelunde coldly snorted, looks for this bastard's trouble to be meaningless at this moment again. The superiority and inferiority of fight to a great extent lie in the collection work of information, is the intelligence collection of Kelunde was not smooth, he sends scouting of collection information to be annihilated. Has built together with own corpse slave. fallen of Leah that crowd of black skins to present is also gone with no news, wants to come also to be killed by the opposite party. In addition in opposite party territory that obviously rich out of the ordinary sacred aura. Keeps Kelunde even from sending for to get close to Fortress castle. Information that therefore so far he obtains came from the former opposite party and a report of Simon wartime, originally Kelunde thinks in such a short time, even if the opposite party will have anything to change will not be many. However now looks like, is thinks was extremely naive. 看着眼前战战兢兢的吸血种。柯伦德冷哼一声,事到如今再来找这个混蛋的麻烦已经毫无意义。战斗的优势和劣势很大程度上就在于情报的搜集工作,可是柯伦德的情报收集一直不顺利,他派去搜集情报的斥候全军覆没。连同自己的尸奴都搭了进去。丽奥那群黑皮肤的堕落者到现在也是渺无音讯,想来也是被对方干掉了。再加上对方领地之中那明显浓郁的超乎寻常的神圣气息。使得柯伦德甚至无法派人接近要塞城堡。所以直到目前为止他所获得的情报全部来自于之前对方和赛门一战时的报告,原本柯伦德认为在如此短的时间内,即便对方有什么改变也不会太多。但是现在看来,是自己想的太过天真了。 Although so far both sides look like evenly matched, but Kelunde is very clear, if again this way, then fire element creature of this side will lose seriously, other did not say, light said the distance is a major problem, opposite party water element creature fights in doorstep, but oneself here Fire Element Teleportation Gate , then from battlefield also distance, even if continuous increase, cannot compare more in doorstep summoning water element creature decisively. originally Kelunde is the plan using fire element creature from exploding and combustion characteristics is caught off guard to opposite party one, but has not thought that was actually the opposite party gives itself to strike ruthlessly. Words that continues like this again, when perhaps here fire element channel, because the energy exhausts to close, is impossible to break through opposite party the barrier of ice. 虽然直到目前为止双方看起来还是势均力敌,不过柯伦德很清楚,如果再继续这样下去的话,那么自己这一方的火元素生物会损耗严重,别的不说,光说距离就是一个大问题,对方的水元素生物就在家门口战斗,而自己这边的火元素传送门则距离战场还有一段距离,哪怕源源不断的增加,也断然比不上就在家门口召唤出来的水元素生物更多。原本柯伦德是打算利用火元素生物的自爆和燃烧特性给对方一个措手不及,但是没有想到却是对方给了自己狠狠一击。再这样继续下去的话,恐怕等到自己这边的火元素通道因为能量耗尽而关闭,也不可能突破对方的冰之屏障。 However as a army commander, this strain capacity must always have, otherwise undead creature was impossible so powerfully to expand. 不过作为一军指挥官,这点应变能力总是要有的,不然不死生物也不可能如此强盛壮大了。 „Orders fire element creature retreat, assembles, first, third and Fifth Legion standing by!” “命令火元素生物后退,重新集结,第一,第三和第五军团准备战斗！” Is looking at the scene in crystal ball, Kelunde coldly has issued the order. 望着水晶球中的景象,柯伦德冷冷的下达了命令。 The tangled warfare was ending instantaneously. 混战在瞬间结束。 originally is turning around to leave with life and death Flame Beasts that water element creature hits suddenly, suddenly the rolling flame continuously to vanish, quick sees already somewhat gloomily does not have light bright red then this slowly went to retreat, left the Fortress attack range. But meaning that here water element creature has not pursued, Rhodes is only big hand swung, prevented them to make use the thought of pursuit. This also with water element creature related, water element creature is mostly calm calmly, is very easy to be obedient. But fire element creature mostly short temper, not too easily was therefore operated. Quick. The ice-cold cold wind has blown, clears off the mist in battlefield, can see, only then on earth various residual burned black explosion imprints, as well as is glittering cold light Shadow Ghost Beast and Fantasy Bat Fish form. 原本正在和水元素生物打的你死我活的火焰之兽们忽然转身离开,一时间连绵起伏的火光不住消失,很快就看见已经有些暗淡无光的鲜红就这样缓缓的向后退去,离开了要塞的进攻范围。而这边的水元素生物也没有追击的意思,罗德只是大手一摆,就阻止了它们趁势追击的念头。这也和水元素生物的性格有关,水元素生物大多沉稳冷静,很容易听话。而火元素生物则大多脾气暴躁,也因此不太容易受到操纵。很快。冰冷的寒风吹过,将战场上的雾气一扫而光,所能够看见的,只有大地上残留的各种焦黑的爆炸痕迹,以及闪烁着寒光的影魅兽与幻想蝠鱼的身影。 The entire Fortress city wall is a silence, these have not experienced this soldiers to look to stay facing the present scene at this time. They have not thought will see so such as the dream imaginary fight here, retreats until fire element creature, in the entire city wall suddenly has exuded the hasty cheers, although they have not participated in the fight. However present still makes these soldiers feel that one's blood bubbles up to the brim. 整个要塞的城墙是一片寂静,那些从来没有见识过这一幕的士兵们这个时候面对眼前的情景都看呆了。他们从来没有想过会在这里看见如此如梦似幻的战斗,直到火元素生物退去,整个城墙上才骤然发出了仓促的欢呼声,虽然他们并没有参加战斗。但是眼前的这一幕却依然让这些士兵们感到热血沸腾起来。 Only then Rhodes has not appeared how happy, his coldly is looking at the front, afterward complexion slightly changed. 只有罗德并没有显得多么高兴,他冷冷的望着前方,随后面色微变。 „Leiya, ordering all Healer to launch the protective barrier, now. Immediately!” “莉洁,命令所有灵师展开防护屏障,现在。立刻！” „Good, Mr. Rhodes!” “好的,罗德先生！” Hears Rhodes' to order, Leiya was hurriedly has also turned the head to issue the order to Healers, but after having been ordered, these have hidden in rear Healer then gradually go forward, they chanted in a low voice, sacred and numerous and diverse rune linked up into a single stretch in this moment. But Agawei and other Sea Elf at this time were also quietly retreat, in their hands has not been actually idling, saw only Sea Elves tentacles in the airborne graceful circling rotation, drew up azure rune. Quick. With the golden soul brilliance, the translucent barrier flashes in the city wall in turn, golden rune connected one invisible, but the hard protection, protected the people. But in the outer layer of city wall. The smooth heavy solid ice starts the rapid upward spread, when are not many free time has formed a brand-new barrier in the city wall outer layer. 听见罗德的命令,莉洁也是急忙转过头去对着自己身边的灵师们下达了命令,而得到命令之后,那些一直隐藏在后方的灵师这才缓步上前,她们低声咏唱,神圣而繁杂的符文在这一刻连成一片。而阿伽薇等海精灵这个时候也是悄然后退,不过她们的手中却并没有闲着,只见海精灵们的触手在空中优雅的盘旋转动,绘制出了一个又一个湛蓝色的符文。很快。伴随着金色的灵魂光辉,半透明的屏障依次在城墙上闪现而过,金色的符文连接成了一道无形但是坚硬的防护,将众人保护在其中。而在城墙的外层。光滑厚重的坚冰开始飞速向上蔓延,不多时的工夫就在城墙外层形成了一道全新的屏障。 But at the same time. Thousands, a stars brilliance, appears in the opposite darkness. 而就在与此同时。数以万计,点点繁星般的光辉,在对面的黑暗之中浮现。 That is not radiance of stars, but is burning soul flame arrow. 那并不是星辰的光华,而是燃烧着灵魂火焰的箭矢。 „Enemy raids ——— ——!!!” “敌袭—————！！！” With shouting of soldiers, innumerable arrow have delimited from the nighttime sky, flies to shoot, as if the rainstorm covers entire Fortress wall in generally, soldiers lifts up high the shield, hides after the city wall, sees only hitting of these arrow crackle crackle in the soul barrier, the wall of as well as on the soldiers cold ice shield, suddenly many soldier even have had the misconception of not being able to raise the head, they cannot even achieve including the counter-attack, can only hiding of futile effort behind the city wall, lift up high the shield. Was waiting for the offensive conclusion of this wave of arrow rain. 伴随着士兵们的呼喊,无数箭矢从夜空之中划过,飞射而下,仿佛暴雨一般将整个要塞城墙笼罩在其中,士兵们高举盾牌,躲在城墙之后,只见这些箭矢噼噼啪啪的打在灵魂的屏障,寒冰之墙以及士兵们的盾牌上,一时间不少士兵甚至生出了抬不起头的错觉,他们甚至连反击都做不到,只能够徒劳的躲在城墙后面,高举盾牌。等待着这一波箭雨的攻势结束。 Rhodes stands proudly in the Silver Tower peak, these arrow before arriving at at Rhodes' side by an invisible strength strong rejection outside, his hand were grasped the sword hilt, eyes narrowed is gazing in the darkness. There looks like seems empty, but Rhodes actually felt that own heartbeat even more speeds up, this type felt that he is very familiar. Is playing, when innumerable faces the undead offensive, this is the normal rhythm. Now, the entire fight entered the Rhodes most familiar orbit finally. 罗德傲然站立在白银塔楼的顶端,那些箭矢在到达罗德的身边之前就被一股无形的力量强硬的拒绝在外,他手握剑柄,眯起眼睛注视着黑暗之中。那里看起来似乎空无一物,但是罗德却感觉到自己的心跳越发加快,这种感觉他很熟悉。在游戏之中,在无数次面对亡灵的攻势时,这才是正常的节奏。现在,整个战斗终于进入了罗德最熟悉的轨道。 The arrow rain continued 56 minutes to stop, if were human the basis does not have the means to insist such for a long time, but regarding undead creature, they actually does not need to consider these issues. People fright uncertain raising the head, experienced before first time has been good with Undead Legion fight soldier, behind these newcomers first time meet such fearful arrow rain offensive. Has split second that they even think that the arrow rain of opposite party is inexhaustible, finally will look like the great waves to bury them generally thoroughly. 箭雨持续了足足有56分钟才停止,如果是人类的话根本没有办法坚持这么久,但是对于不死生物来说,它们却不需要考虑这些问题。众人惊魂不定的抬起头来,之前经历过第一次和不死军团战斗的士兵还好,后面这些新来者很多还是第一次遇到这样可怕的箭雨攻势。有那么一瞬间,他们甚至以为对方的箭雨是无穷无尽,最终会像浪涛一般将他们彻底掩埋在其中。 Their fright uncertain raising the head, quick heard the muffled sound, transmits from the distant place. 他们惊魂不定的抬起头来,很快就听见了沉闷的声响,从远处传来。 „Thump ......... Thump ...............” “咚………咚……………” „Thump ...............” “咚……………” That sounds is falling thing falls to the ground likely the muffled sound, is any colossus is going forward probably. In the entire city wall this moment deathly stillness, soldiers grips the long bow and arrow, could not say half a word words. originally Shadow Ghost Beast this moment instinct retreat that disperses under the city wall, gathered at one. But Fantasy Bat Fish restless is rocking own body, sends out the sound that the average man could not hear to warn the arrival of danger. 那听起来像是坠物落地般沉闷的响声,又好像是什么庞然大物正在前进。整个城墙上此刻一片死寂,士兵们握住长弓和箭矢,却是说不出半句话来。原本在城墙下散开的魅影兽们此刻本能的后退,聚集在了一起。而幻想蝠鱼则不安的晃动着自己的身体,发出了常人所听不见的声音来警示危险的到来。 „——— ——— Gaah!!!” “——————嘎啊！！！” the next moment, jet black turn over. 下一刻,漆黑翻转。 The big mouth that originally deep dim light of night as if invisible monster opens, the people see only the darkness on sky to start to sway from side to side, afterward changed into big bright red red clouds. Thousands Fire Crows was screaming instigation wing flushes away forward, the flame in ground ascends to erupt once more, rushed over to the present ice-cold great waves. 原本深沉的夜色仿佛一个无形的怪物张开的大嘴般,众人只见天空上的黑暗开始扭动,随后化为了一大片鲜红的火烧云。数以万计的火鸦们尖叫着煽动翅膀向前冲去,地面上的火焰再次升腾爆发,对眼前的冰冷浪涛冲了过去。 However this time, in their behind, the people saw several huge black shadow. That is one by one has city wall that high huge bone monster, their hands grasp are fighting the hammer, slow and steadfast walks forward, by their shoulders, can see the platform that smooth steel plate forging becomes to launch at this time thoroughly, even can see the above arrangement with the aid of the flame the light crossbow bolt, as well as dense piece of Ghoul and skeleton warrior. This top-heavy existence according to truth, so long as follows one step because will lose balanced and cannot fall to the ground directly. However Rhodes is very clear, in this world discussion science was really too funny. 但是这一次,在它们的后面,众人看见了数个巨大的黑影。那是一个个足足有城墙那么高的巨大白骨怪物,它们手握着战锤,缓慢而坚定不移的向前走来,在它们的肩膀两侧,可以看见平整的钢板锻造而成的平台这个时候已经彻底展开,借助火光甚至能够看见上面布置的轻型弩箭,以及黑压压一片的食尸鬼和骷髅战士。这种头重脚轻的存在按照道理来说只要走一步就会因为失去平衡而直接倒地不起。但是罗德很清楚,在这个世界谈论科学实在是太滑稽了点儿。 „Holy Spirit above! That is anything!!” “圣魂在上！那是什么啊！！” Sees present, many soldier panic-stricken screaming, their can't help but retreat, suddenly does not even know that should not know what to do. 看见眼前的这一幕,不少士兵惊恐的叫出声来,他们甚至不由自主的后退,一时间根本不知道该如何是好。 However at this time, the attack of Undead Legion has launched thoroughly. 但是这个时候,不死军团的进攻已经彻底展开。 The flame and cold ice collide once more in together, these time gathered all strength fire element creature will to fight to a draw with Rhodes subordinate/hand water element creature finally, but at this time, dozens Skeleton Troll walked up, they were stepping the calm and firm and resolute step forward slowly, then, Skeleton Troll very body. 火焰与寒冰再次碰撞在一起,这一次聚集了所有力量的火元素生物终于堪堪与罗德手下的水元素生物打了个平手,而就在这个时候,数十头骸骨巨魔走上前来,它们迈着沉稳而坚毅的步伐缓慢向前,接着,骸骨巨魔们挺起了身体。 „Whiz!!” “嗖！！” The one by one crossbow bolt like this launches from the shoulder of Skeleton Troll, they hit in the hard ice-cold city wall, falls into. However these crossbow bolts and are not only used to attack the city wall is so simple, under shining of flame, can clear seeing in behind of these crossbow bolts, connect the a path of jet black hard rope. 一只只弩箭就这样从骸骨巨魔的肩膀上发射出去,它们撞击在坚硬冰冷的城墙上,陷入其中。但是这些弩箭并不仅仅只是用来攻击城墙的这么简单,在火光的照耀下,可以清晰的看见在这些弩箭的后面,连接着一道道漆黑坚硬的绳索。 „Cuts off the rope, quick! Burns down them!!” “砍断绳索,快！烧掉它们！！” Sees these ropes, soldier of idiot also understands again what happened, quick, the military officers shouted angrily are ordering oneself subordinate to cut off these ropes. However at this time, another wave of arrow rain flew to shoot, has pressed soldiers again. Meanwhile, sees only these jet black, skinny Ghoul look like keen monkeys climbs up the rope, as if one by one black Specter following rope direct impact! 看见这些绳索,再白痴的军人也明白将会发生什么事情,很快,军官们就怒喝着命令自己的部下去砍断这些绳索。但是就在这个时候,又一波箭雨飞射而过,重新将士兵们压了下去。与此同时,只见那些漆黑,干瘦的食尸鬼活像灵敏的猴子般攀上绳索,仿佛一只只黑色的幽灵顺着绳索直冲而过！ The fight, starts in this moment finally. 战斗,在这一刻终于打响。
