Chapter 172 I hope my children can show some strength

"Be careful, the Dark Sound Blind Monster has combat power close to the legendary level. Pay attention to its sonic attacks!"

Sherman reminded, without lowering his voice.

The Dark Sound Blind Monster's hearing is enough to detect the sound here from a hundred meters away. This monster was probably attracted by their chatter just now. It has long been aware of their existence, and hiding it will not help.

Sure enough, the Dark Sound Blind Monster then raised its head, its thin tubular mouth trembled slightly, and emitted a sound wave strong enough to penetrate cracked gold and stone, aiming directly at Sherman and the others.

The two magic pattern knights immediately rushed forward a few steps, holding shields in front of the three Shermans, facing the sound waves emitted by the monster.

After a silent tremor, the shield made of fine iron quickly returned to calm.

After all, it is a magical equipment. If it were replaced by an ordinary metal shield, it would definitely fall apart under this blow.

The two magic pattern knights bought time by blocking, and the spells of Sherman and the others were completed.

Sherman's debilitating ray and Artiel's freezing ray hit the Dark Sound Blind Monster almost at the same time. The monster was obviously sluggish, and its body surface was also covered with a layer of frost visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, Kore's spell missile also arrived, accurately hitting the dark-sound blind monster's tubular mouth and blasting it to pieces.

The monster immediately began to wail repeatedly, but because the sharp beak was injured, the sound was muffled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the magic pattern knights swarmed forward and struck violently with knights' swords and war hammers.

Surrounded by more than a dozen magic pattern knights with great knight-level power, the Dark Sound Blind Monster struggled in panic, but was soon crushed to death.

After confirming that the Dark Sound Blind Monster was completely dead, Sherman put down his palm with a calm expression.

Similar battles have occurred countless times in the past.

He and his companions have even killed legendary monsters.

In comparison, a near-legendary Dark Sound Blind Monster is nothing.

But just when everyone relaxed because of killing the Dark Sound Blind Monster, three black shadows suddenly rushed out of the darkness, flashed behind Sherman and the others like ghosts, and pierced the three of them with daggers shining with blue luster in their hands. Behind the scenes!

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

By the time the surrounding magic pattern knights reacted, it was too late to stop the three black shadows. They could only watch as the daggers stabbed the three Shermans, instantly tearing apart the invisible shield and energy particle protective layer. Then they were surrounded by an invisible force field. Intercepted.

The three sneak attackers were startled for a moment, then immediately distanced themselves after reacting.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the counterattack of the three Shermans had arrived.

Three dazzling flames tore through the darkness in an instant, turning into fan-shaped flames and drowning the sneak attacker!

Burning Hands!

The three sneak attackers groaned in unison, broke through the flames, and retreated in embarrassment.

With the help of the firelight, Sherman quickly saw the face of the sneak attacker.

The three of them are slender and have delicate faces. They look to be in their early twenties at most, just like young girls.

However, his eyes swept over the three girls' highly recognizable black skin and long silver hair. Sherman's expression condensed and he blurted out:

"Dark Elf!"

There really are dark elves!

Adil frowned and felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he had maintained the activation of the Ring of Ultimate Protection, so he was lucky enough to block the sneak attack. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured even if he had suffered the sneak attack just now.

It is said that dark elves are born assassins. I didn’t realize this before, but now it seems to be true.

If it were other second-level wizard apprentices without the Ring of Ultimate Protection, they would have died in the sneak attack just now.

Sherman and Corey also looked solemn, but little did they know that the three dark elves opposite were also secretly frightened.

After preparing for a long time, he thought he was going to hit a sure blow, but he was easily blocked by the opponent, and his success fell short.

Originally, they wanted to kill the three wizard apprentices in a sneak attack and then retreat calmly, but now that the attack failed, they naturally had no intention of continuing to fight with each other. After the three of them looked at each other, they retreated decisively, trying to sneak into the shadows again.

After finally finding the target, Sherman and the others would not let their opponents escape without hesitation. They activated the Ring of Disaster in their hands. In an instant, they saw three claws of disaster condensed out of thin air and penetrated the bodies of the three dark elves fiercely.

What the three Shermans exchanged were just ordinary Rings of Disaster, not the extreme version.

But the dark elves were not powerful third-level wizard apprentices. As the claws of disaster passed through their bodies, the three of them suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Their bodies twitched as if they were electrocuted, and they completely lost their resistance. force.

The surrounding magic pattern knights took the opportunity to swarm up and suppress the three dark elves.

Seeing this scene, Sherman breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the Ring of Disaster with his fingers, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, the Ring of Disaster is powerful, otherwise it would be difficult to catch these three dark elves if they were allowed to sneak into the shadows.

The dim environment of the underground world is naturally the home ground of dark elves.

Their ability to sneak into shadows is unique in this environment, making them appear elusive.

If it hadn't been for this, the dark elves' evil reputation wouldn't have spread throughout the underground world, making people fearful.

"Give them the magic-forbidden handcuffs and bring them back to Nolan City."

"Dark Elf?"

Sunan behind the desk raised his head, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After coming out of the meditation room after a long absence, as soon as he summoned Carolina and Red Widow, he learned the news about the capture of the dark elf from the two of them.

Sunan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The closest city in the Star Alliance to Demon Spider City is Nolan City, but it is still seven or eight hundred kilometers away.

No matter how rapidly the Star Alliance expands, it is still far from threatening the Demon Spider City.

Would those guys in Demon Spider City who like to fight among themselves be so aware of danger in times of peace that they would send people to check the Star Alliance intelligence in advance?

Sunan said he didn't believe it.

"Yes, Master." Carolina replied respectfully, "We have tortured the three dark elves who were captured, and the confessions we obtained are consistent. They are all members of the Philier family, one of the twelve families in the Demon Spider City. This This time I came specifically to spy on the Star Alliance’s intelligence.”

"They originally planned to return to the Demon Spider City, but they discovered the exploration team on the way, and they made a temporary plan to attack the wizard apprentice in the team."

Having said this, Carolina couldn't help but secretly pity the three unlucky dark elves.

If the team led by other wizard apprentices, it might be possible for them to succeed, but they happened to encounter the team of three Shermans.

Those three people are the most powerful wizard apprentices under Su Nan.

With his outstanding strength and well-equipped equipment, he is not afraid at all even against the legendary knights of the previous level.

The dark elves set their sights on these three people, and it can only be said that they are seeking their own destruction.

"The Phillier family?"

Su Nan's eyes flashed slightly.

He remembered that the clues to the Black Forest, one of the three great wizard inheritances, were likely to be in the hands of this dark elf family.

I haven't even gone to find the other party yet, but I didn't expect that the other party has already come to my door.

After thinking for a moment, Sunan said in a deep voice:

"Inform the exploration team about the dark elves and ask them to be more vigilant when they go out for action."

"In addition, the fourth small army of golems will arrive at the front line today. You can discuss the specific arrangements among yourself."

"Yes, Master."

Carolina and Red Widow were delighted.

Recently, the pressure on the Covenant's frontline has been increasing. With only two small golem legions to support it, its military strength has gradually become somewhat stretched.

Fortunately, now that there is an additional army of golems, the pressure will definitely be greatly relieved.

"How are you preparing for the Dragon Antelope Knight?" Su Nan asked about another matter.

The dragon antelopes in Longling Ranch have been matured and it is time to release them.

There are two hundred dragon antelopes in total, enough to establish a team of dragon antelope knights.

If everything goes well, the ranch will be able to produce a batch of dragon antelopes every year this year, gradually expanding the number of dragon antelope riders.

Of course, with the expansion speed of the Magic Pattern Knights, it is impossible to equip all members with dragon antelopes. At most, some elites will be selected and equipped first.

"It's ready." Red Widow said, "The selected ones are all elites who have been promoted to Grand Knights."

Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

A great knight-level magic pattern knight is equipped with a third-level magic pattern structure, coupled with magic weapons, his true combat power is comparable to that of a peak knight.

Although the two hundred dragon antelopes have not yet truly reached adulthood and cannot reach the legendary realm, they are not far behind.

The dragon antelope knight formed by superimposing the two can still fight even against the legendary knights of the previous level.

Such an army is enough to become the core trump card of the Demon Pattern Knights.

On the battlefield, it must be a powerful force that scares the enemy!

Seeing Sunan waving his hand, Carolina and Red Widow wisely stepped back. After leaving the study, they hurried to the front line.

As the Star Alliance grows, the two women become more motivated.

Although I was busy all day long, I still enjoyed it.

In the past, they could only manage one city-state and a few mines, but now they manage fifteen city-states and hundreds of resource points. There is no comparison between the two.

Now in the southeastern region of the underground world, the two of them are also well-known big shots.

In the study, Sunan looked at the battle report in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The battle report is from the surface world.

In the past four years, the war between the Star Alliance, headed by the Star Principality, and the Cangjin Empire has been in full swing.

In the early stages of the war, the Cangjin Empire was still able to compete evenly with the Star Alliance relying on its deep foundation.

However, the heavy pressure brought by the too long front finally made the Cangjin Empire gradually unable to bear it.

A year later, the Cangjin Empire had to give up large areas of border territory and shorten its front lines in exchange for a chance to breathe.

After tasting the sweetness, the Star Alliance's morale soared and they continued to advance the front in the following three years.

As of today, the Cangjin Empire has lost more than half of its territory.

Most of them were swallowed up by the Principality of Stars, and their territory of influence nearly doubled.

Under the circumstances, the Cangjin Empire was no longer a match for the Star Alliance.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is already sunset for the Cangjin Empire, and it will be destroyed sooner or later.

Sunan was not surprised by this.

With the Golem Legion supported by the Star Alliance and many allies, if the Star Alliance still cannot defeat the Cangjin Empire, it would be better to disband as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of the great momentum of the Star Alliance that Sunan has not recalled the Golem Legion for support despite the relatively high pressure on the Star Alliance front line.

After all, he also expected the Golem Legion to earn more employment remuneration to make up for the financial gap in forming a fifth small Golem Legion.

When the fifth small golem army is formed, the Covenant truly has a medium-sized golem army.

"According to the establishment, the medium-sized golem army must arrange an adamantine golem."

In the past four years, Su Nanlu has successively refined three more fine gold demon statues, and now he has a total of five fine gold demon statues.

In addition, he has saved a batch of mithril over the years and refined a new marionette.

The two marionettes in his hands now are named marionette No. 1 and marionette No. 2 respectively.

Putting down the battle report, Sunan stretched.

A year ago, he had already constructed the last star ring, and his mental power increased to 59.65.

After that, he absorbed the divine energy of the death knell striker and the multi-winged monster again, pushing his mental power to 60 points in one fell swoop.

At this point, the prerequisites for constructing the talent crystal have been met.

The lower-level talent crystal model of the magic pattern core has also been studied long ago, and Sunan started to construct it as soon as possible.

With the experience of the previous life, coupled with the meditation bonus of the divine blood amber, transcendent potion and element pool, the construction of the model went very smoothly.

In just over a year, the model construction has been completed by about half.

Sunan estimated that before the appearance of the Starry Tower at the end of next year, he should be able to successfully construct the lower-level talent crystal model.

It will be clear whether the magic cube can be used for synthesis and strengthening in the future.

Glitter City, the palace.

Abbott Arnest walked into the hall with a look of disappointment on his face, and looked up to see his father and mother sitting in the hall, his younger brother Weiss and his younger sister Adela were also there.

Seeing Abbott, the two little guys immediately rushed forward to greet him.

"Brother!"

The three of them were of similar age and had a good relationship since childhood.

Abbott forced a smile on his face and chatted with his younger brother and sister for a few words, then got rid of the two little guys and came to his parents.

"Father, mother."

Abbott took a deep breath and was about to tell the result of the qualification test today, but was interrupted by his father Key.

"The test process is very exhausting, you should go to rest first, and we will have dinner together later."

Mother Shaya also stood up and hugged him gently, saying softly: "You must be very tired, go to rest."

Abbott immediately understood that his father and mother must have known the news that he did not pass the qualification test at the first time.

Seeing that his father and mother were not disappointed in him, but were as gentle as ever, Abbott's loss was slightly reduced, and he nodded obediently and went back to his room to rest.

After Abbott left, Shaya hesitated and said, "Keyi, can't you ask Sunan to make some concessions? Even if Abbott's qualifications are a little poor, he should be able to become a wizard apprentice with his care, right?"

Keyi sighed and shook his head, "It's useless. Even if he uses potions to forcibly improve his spirit and successfully passes the test, his qualifications are not good. In the future, he will only be a first-level wizard apprentice. It's better to take the path of a knight."

It's true that wizard apprentices are very powerful, but that refers to at least second-level wizard apprentices.

First-level wizard apprentices are not as good as great knights. They can only be tools for making low-level potions and puppets. There is really not much future.

Instead of wasting time at the level of first-level wizard apprentices until old age, it is better to concentrate on practicing knight breathing and martial arts.

At least Abbott's knight qualifications are very good. With the royal family's full support for resources, he will definitely become a three-ring legendary knight in the future. It is not a luxury to even break through to the fourth-ring legend. It is far more promising than becoming a wizard apprentice.

Shaya sighed, looking gloomy.

Key turned his head and looked at the pair of children who were a little confused.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he also hoped that the royal family could have a wizard apprentice.

Whether it was to consolidate the prestige of the royal family or to strengthen the connection with Sunan, it was a good thing.

It was a pity that such a thing was not something he could achieve as he wished, even if he was the Grand Duke of Fanxing.

He could only hope that his children would fight for it.
