Chapter 1103: Defense of the Empire
Under the gloomy sky, an arcane guard tower quickly passed over a huge plain full of golden wheat waves.
At the end of the plain, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and the earth-shaking roar of fighting continued to be heard.
From a distance, strange monsters as huge as hills were madly colliding and rushing, and fighting with them for life and death were huge arcane puppets with a body of hundreds of meters and made of azure crystal.
The fighting on the ground was earth-shaking, and the sky was not idle either. Strange monsters with eagle wings on their backs were fighting bloody battles with the circling arcane guard towers.
Above their heads, a strange star beast had rushed to the particularly large floating city, roaring angrily in the dense arcane artillery fire and torrents, and madly killing and destroying everything in front of it.
This star beast was extremely large, almost each of them was the size of a human city.
Its huge body was covered with huge black scales, and its body was covered with hundreds of thick arthropod legs. Although its body was bloated and ferocious, it was very agile and flexible.
It twisted its body, roared loudly, and crawled forward quickly.
The dense artillery fire from the floating fortress and the arcane guard tower blasted a continuous sea of fire on the surface of its body, leaving one after another bloody pits several meters deep and more than ten meters in diameter. Such injuries would have killed ordinary creatures, but on this behemoth that was thousands of meters in size, it was just a minor disease and could not damage its life source at all.
However, such intensive arcane attacks still made this star beast suffer painful torture.
It raised its neck and made all kinds of strange roars that shook the world. It raised its huge claws and scratched around, and rows of tall arcane buildings collapsed in a huge dust column. No matter whether it was a person or a building, it would be impossible to remain intact under its sharp claws that were tens of meters long.
Even those arcane towers protected by powerful arcane power would be distorted and deformed in a crackling energy explosion when they were swept by the giant arthropod legs of this star beast with a thickness of more than ten meters.
If the arcane tower did not dodge and escape in time and was attacked by the star beast's terrible arthropods, even the arcane tower known as a flying fortress would explode into a huge firework in a thunderous explosion.
If the formal arcane tower was like this, those simplified guard towers would be even more fragile.
Therefore, facing this terrifying star beast that rushed to the floating city, a large group of arcane masters rushed out from various arcane towers and floating fortresses, driving and driving tall and mighty arcane puppets, surrounding the opponent and attacking frantically.
And some parasitic beasts living on the surface of the star beast, driven by the star beast, fought frantically with the arcane masters and arcane puppets that rushed in.
The powerful star beast spewed out thick energy beams of different colors, sweeping out a large area of death on the surface of the floating city, while twisting its body and trying to crawl towards the magnificent hall at the core.
Wherever its huge body and dense thick joints passed, houses collapsed and the ground cracked.
And the purple-black blood flowing from the numerous wounds on its body fell on the ground, and soon condensed into violent and ferocious bloodthirsty beasts. Their ferocity and strength are no less than those of the 2nd-ring arcanists.
And the 2nd-ring arcanists, even within the Arcane Empire, can be regarded as a relatively noble profession! But for this huge star beast, any drop of blood in its body combined with the substances in the plane can condense into a 2nd-level terrible monster.
This... also fully demonstrates the power and terror of this star beast!
This is just a 6th-level star beast!
If it is placed outside the plane barrier, the huge Arcane Empire can completely rely on a large number of great arcanists and extremely powerful half-plane fortresses to blast it into pieces of flesh and blood with intensive firepower. But when this 6th-level star beast breaks into the plane, although its attack power is limited to the peak of the 4th level, its huge size and super physique make it a terrible monster that is almost difficult to destroy.
Faced with such a huge star beast, even the two arcane emperors with a level as high as 8th level are a little timid.
With their power, it is naturally no problem to kill this star beast.
However, it is precisely because the power they control is too strong that any residual power spills out, which will cause greater damage to this floating city and this plane world than to this star beast, and it is more difficult to deal with!
It is precisely because of this reason that those great arcanists are timid and helpless.
These star beasts can ignore the huge damage caused by wild battles to this plane world, but they can't ignore it!
After all, the Morian plane belongs to the Arcane Empire, to these arcanists and great arcanists. Once the unscrupulous attack destroys their own home, what can they use to resist the powerful enemies who are eyeing outside the plane barrier and want to invade in a big way?
…………
The Light of Truth, the Floating City.
As the largest floating city with the most powerful arcane power in the Arcane Empire, the Light of Truth plays a vital role in the entire Morian plane.
In the center of the Light of Truth floating city, stands a majestic and beautifully shaped arcane palace. The palace is divided into ten floors, each floor is about 100 meters, and on the wide and flat platform above, there are arcane academies of all sizes, public libraries, arcane research institutes, learning promotion associations, observatories, arcane laboratories... and a large number of puppet manufacturing rooms.
Among the only two arcane emperors in the Arcane Empire, the ruler Garcia has been stationed here all year round, and has also built this Light of Truth floating city into a unique political and economic center of the entire Arcane Empire.
Unfortunately, at this time of disaster, the Light of Truth floating city has become the main target of attack by many powerful enemies from outside the domain. The two arcane emperors are still outside the plane barrier to resist the repeated attacks of terrible and powerful enemies, while inside the plane, a 6th-level star-devouring beast has drilled into the Morian plane and is attacking the Light of Truth floating city unscrupulously.
Judging from its intention, it seems to want to attack the control center of the floating city and make this floating city of light of truth fall from the sky. With the current huge scale of the floating city of light of truth, once it falls to the ground, it may be difficult to rise again in the sky within a hundred years.
Once the light of truth falls, the half-plane fortress of the arcane empire currently located outside the plane barrier will lose the necessary energy supply. At that time, the war front that barely blocks the enemy with the half-plane fortress and the floating arcane tower will be in danger of collapse in an instant.
Therefore, no matter how huge the loss is, the arcane masters must annihilate this star-devouring beast and break the invasion conspiracy of the enemy outside the domain!
In the arcane hall, three 6th-level great arcane masters gathered together and argued fiercely.
"Activate the light of annihilation... We must activate the light of annihilation... Otherwise, if the Star Devourer really attacks the center, how can we stop it from advancing?"
"No! The power of the light of annihilation is too great, it will burn the energy core... Once the energy core is damaged, do we still have the resources to repair it?"
"What should we do? Just watch our people die and our homes be ravaged by the feet? This is not okay, that is not okay, just let this old man rush out and fight that big guy! I don't believe that the self-explosion of a 6-ring great arcanist can't kill it..."
The three of them argued fiercely, and no one could convince anyone, which made the atmosphere in the hall become unusually boring and anxious.
While the three were arguing, the Star Devourer moved its body and advanced another hundred meters.
Wherever its huge body passed, all the buildings were knocked down and crushed, and all the creatures were slaughtered. The energy beam spewed out of its huge mouth, and even knocked down an arcane tower from the sky, causing it to crash in front of it with thick black smoke.
"No, I can't stand it... I'm going to entangle the star-devouring beast, and you guys continue to discuss here!" The oldest of the three old men poked the marble floor with his cane, and his eyes were red.
At this moment, an unusually soft voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Niher, your temperament is still so impatient. You don't have to go, leave this hateful guy to me!"
With the appearance of the soft voice, the huge arcane rune array in the center of the hall suddenly lit up silently, and countless mysterious runes and arcane brilliance dissipated from it, outlining the image of an unusually tall and majestic arcane master in the air.
From the outside, he was just an old-looking arcanist, wearing a simple and plain arcane robe, a white and bright arcane scepter, a solemn face, and a dignified appearance. Under his white eyebrows, two blinding small suns lit up in the depths of his pupils.
This was an extremely ordinary arcanist!
If there was any difference between him and other arcanists, it was the arcane crown worn on his gray hair. It was filled with layers of arcane ripples visible to the naked eye, and it was faintly connected to this floating city and the entire plane.
However, at this moment, this strange arcanist wearing an arcane crown was emitting a bright arcane glow all over his body. It seemed that he was not a human body, but a human projection condensed by arcane energy.
The three great arcanists saw the energy humanoid and hurriedly bowed.
"You are the seeker of the truth of the arcane, guiding us forward, we..."
"Okay, okay, it's time, why repeat these meaningless and meaningless speeches. You guard the Arcane Hall, I'll go deal with that guy..."
After saying that, the humanoid shadow appeared above the Arcane Hall.
