Chapter 709 Anubis

The battle in the city of Atlantis has almost come to an end. The empire's most elite ground troops want to occupy an ancient city. Even if there are a large number of monsters in the city whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the empire's regular army, it will not take much effort. As we gradually advance, one by one the key functional buildings are restarted by the Xiling host behind. The haze over this ancient city is also rapidly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Maybe it won’t be long before the evil that is entrenched here. The abyss energy will be dissipated by the city purification device.

The ground forces that entered the inner city together have been divided into several groups and headed towards several key buildings pointed out by Ares. Sandora and I also led a team to activate the two defense system control centers, Bingtis. Traveling with Sandora, the living treasures of the remaining two protoss five-person groups were divided into my hands - Lin and Ilson broke into the inner city through "coordinated operations" before, but they have not returned to the team yet, and the former's IQ has dropped to I don’t know how to contact the main force, the latter is probably still fainting.

But the physiques of the two Star Realm Protoss are there, and I believe they are still alive and kicking.

Along the way, we encountered several more attacks from Valkyrie warriors, but with experience in dealing with such warriors, the Armored Scorpions were already familiar with dealing with them. Valkyrie's raids did not have much impact on the soldiers' progress. In addition, There were also some servants of Atlantis who were familiar with Valkyrie's fighting methods and capable Gensokyo combatants like Izayoi to assist them, so the operation went smoothly.

It’s just that the air here is filled with a disgusting sense of chaos. The soldiers cannot advance rashly and quickly. In addition, they have to deal with enemies who will jump out of God knows which corner at any time. The overall advancement speed of the team is always disappointing. So satisfied.

The Raven's detection magic and the leader bee's life detector have little effect on units like Valkyrie. The latter has no life response and has the same stealth assault equipment as the Imperial Agent. It only attacks when the opponent launches an attack. It's too bad that they will be detected before being detected, and what's even worse is that they can continue to resurrect. Valkyrie's manufacturing factory is in the most heavily defended area of ​​​​the inner city. Before the team advances to that place, do we have any chance? It's annoying.

"What are you thinking about?"

Izayoi saw that I had not spoken for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask. When in front of strangers, the head maid seemed polite and well-educated. Although I don't know why, I always felt that she was a little alienated from outsiders, but overall, this She is a servant who can give people a very reliable feeling, but I don’t know if she meets Anweina...

"As for your arrangements, if too many monsters have their houses destroyed, they can go to live in the capital of the empire first. It will take time to purify the radiation from Monster Mountain," I said casually, "In addition, everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion is also invited to come. Play in the Shadow City, there is a person there who can also control time, and there is another person who always aims at the world's number one maid, maybe you will have a common language together."

Izayoi looked at me puzzled, with a strange look in his eyes, but he still smiled politely: "This is best, maybe the eldest lady can feel at ease. You are a very easy-to-get-together person, not as I expected. It’s such a high-spirited feeling.”

Oh oh oh, should I be moved? This time it’s not a good guy card! But... Passerby card, what's going on with this painful feeling of joy?

"Squeak, snap, snap..."

A crackling sound coming from nowhere suddenly interrupted the conversation between me and Izayoi. I followed the sound and found that there was an abnormal concentration of blue-black electric sparks in the sky above the stone square a hundred meters away. It was as if It's like a discharge at the tip, but I can't see where the discharge source is. I was just about to ask the Atlantis warrior next to me what was going on, but the other person had a serious look on his face and tightly held the lightning spear in his hand. Whispered: "Anubis is coming! They can jump with lightning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of dense lightning bursts suddenly erupted. Dozens of blue-black lightning struck the stone square not far away from a height of 100 meters. Each lightning bolt exploded into a bright flame when it hit the ground. , and then instantly formed a tall warrior with a wolf head and body.

These alien warriors who were teleported to the battlefield with lightning were unusually tall. Although they did not reach Hades' exaggerated height of twelve meters, they were still about five meters tall. Their skin was dark, and the ridges of their muscles were swollen. It has an obsidian-like luster, its upper body is naked, and its lower body is wearing a white Atlantis short skirt. It has a human body but a wolf-like head. Dark red runes floated on their naked upper bodies, and they wore heavy rings around their necks. Those rings had an obvious imperial technological style, and there were dark energy grids on their edges, indicating that these rings were called Anubis. The Warrior is similar to the Valkyrie before it, a powerful unit that uses true psionic powers rather than supernatural powers to fight.

Anubis's weapon is a black scepter that matches their height. The top of the scepter is shaped like a poisonous snake. According to Ares' previous introduction, those things should be called "twilight scepters" - 4-5 The metal scepter, which is one meter long and weighs half a ton, is really a good companion for killing, stealing, smashing, looting and burning!

The wolf-headed warrior immediately launched an attack after the space teleportation was completed, waving the long black staff at us. Immediately, countless forked dazzling lightning burst out from those extra-large staffs, covering the entire action team and the surrounding area. In a space of several hundred meters, I could tell in just a split second - this was completely imitating the forked lightning of a raven!

...Okay, there are quite a few people in this world who know how to use forked lightning, but I think the raven that learned to cook meat with forked lightning tens of millions of years ago is definitely qualified to claim to be one of the founders of this magic.

"Boom!"

Continuous explosions sounded in the air. It was the ravens following the team who launched a counterattack in time. They didn't see any magic used. Anubis' lightning collided with each other halfway and was annihilated. This is Sylvia's or Bellavilla's best technique: elemental interference. Magic that attacks a single element has miraculous effects, but because it requires too much physical fitness of the user, it can only be used once in a short period of time.

But this only one successful intervention was enough. Ravens with superb magic skills immediately organized an effective attack. They first deployed a fast arcane shield over their own front line, and then three ravens maintained it inside the position. Shield, other ravens opened fire, and an overwhelming magical attack suddenly hit Anubis's line. There were lightning, fireballs, ice arrows, arcane bombs, slippers, teddy bears, and everything - there were two ravens because they could be seen. I was so excited when I saw an opponent using magic that I threw everything in my pocket.

Armored Scorpion also drew out his long knife. After the raven's magic was released, under the cover of those bright flames, these fast-moving killers clung to various magical light groups and rushed in front of Anubis at lightning speed. Those who can survive the first round of magical attacks will definitely not be able to survive the armored scorpion's attack intact.

With just this hand, it can be seen that even though the Armored Scorpion and the Raven are usually noisy, and they really want to fight, their cooperation is as close as sisters. The Armored Scorpion accurately controlled the raven's magical flight speed, and the raven cleverly controlled those powerful arcane fireballs and white-hot light to delay their energy release, which would have been roasted into pieces. Can a half-cooked scorpion or a raven that has been beaten all over the head be trained?

...Okay, maybe this is purely the cooperation skills they developed when fighting.

"Crack - crack", the continuous sound of lightning sounded again. The Anubis seemed to feel the extraordinary power of the magic storm in front of them. They raised their scepters with both hands and slammed them on the ground, and then disappeared with the lightning falling from the sky. On the spot, suddenly appearing in all directions around us, the armored scorpions and those magic light groups lost their targets one after another. The former quickly turned back to pursue the teleported enemies, while the latter burned the stone square into a molten mass.

"Anubis's lightning teleportation can be released indefinitely. They can dodge most long-range attacks by relying on instinct," the Atlantis warrior beside him said quickly, while raising the lightning throwing gun in his hand and sending out a beam of lightning. Thunder forced an Anubis who teleported near the position to use lightning teleportation to escape again. "This skill makes them difficult to deal with."

"Valkyrie, who has full-band stealth raid capabilities, and Anubis, who can perform short-range teleportation magic attacks, it seems that the scientific expedition team was really desperate," I said a little stupefied, "Crows, don't Let’s play! Quickly deal with these invincible guys, the control center is right in front!”

After being shouted out by the commander, the ravens who were enthusiastically shooting lightning chains all over the sky became serious. Raven 001 took back several arcane cores floating around him, then raised his right hand high: "Charged Cloud."

This is a spell that needs to be cast jointly, and the more people involved, the more amazing the power. After the guiding rune chain appeared in the hands of Raven 001, a dozen of the surrounding ravens also began to cast the spell at the same time, and the dense clouds began to appear. It suddenly appeared in the sky strangely like a camera switch. The already gloomy inner city fell into a state of almost darkness under the cover of this cloud. "Rumble" of thunder came from the cloud, and even The hair on his body stood up slightly with electricity. The raven, which was not participating in the coordinated spellcasting, immediately strengthened the arcane shield on the position to prevent himself from being hurt by his parent's random attack.

An Anubis turned a blind eye to the high-energy reaction above his head. Instead, he raised the twilight scepter in his hand high towards us. The five-meter-tall giant held a four-meter-long iron rod in his hand. Needless to say, there was a loud "click" sound immediately, and the sky was filled with dust - jingle bell! The sky is full of dust! Anubis's body is made of black tempered crystal. I judged visually that it is the kind of material used as portholes on battleships. This super-strength insulator was split into dust by lightning. Raven 001, are you sure? Is this still lightning?

And what's even more amazing is that after a powerful thunderbolt, except for the unlucky Anubis, there was no accidental damage at all, and even the ground under the enemy's feet didn't even leave a black mark. The power of "lightning" is 100% injected into the enemy's body, turning it into ashes with incomparable precision without any residue. How ferocious magic control is this? The ravens are all lv6!

I don’t know if it’s because I’m not smart enough or something, but the death of the first Anubis didn’t remind the others. More wolf-headed “gods” raised their scepters to attack us. As a result, The square crackled and roared endlessly, and dozens of lightning rods successfully satisfied the hungry cloud of energy. The Atlantean warrior just now said that Anubis could dodge most long-range attacks by relying on instinct, but obviously the thunder that spreads at the speed of light was not among them to avoid. After dozens of dazzling blue-white thunder bombardments, there was no one in the square except There was nothing left except the piles of smoking ashes.

"Thunder Sky is holding a big iron stick, it doesn't know how to conduct electricity, they are a bunch of idiots."

Raven 001 has made a great contribution, and her mouth is unceremoniously venomous, but I deeply agree with her evaluation, but then again, even the most powerful lightning cannot kill the battleship made of crystallized shell. Physical Anubis, right? These unlucky children died unjustly.

As the spellcasting guidance stopped, the charging cloud in the sky dissipated, and dots of light rose from the square. Anubis, who had been reduced to ashes, was just like Valki, who had been chopped to pieces by the Armored Scorpion. They were recycled under the influence of some mysterious technology. Obviously, a few hours later, they were a group of lively thunder-strike men. Seeing the enemy starting the countdown to resurrection in front of his eyes, even Raven 001 let out a long sigh. : "Oh, it's better to fight with those scorpions than to be resurrected after being beaten to death."

Vega is not here. If she were here, Raven 001 would have to change her mouth again.

"Hurry up and find their regeneration factory, and let these warriors regain control as soon as possible." I sighed and walked forward first. "These are heroes who sacrificed their lives for the empire many years ago. They should not appear at this time. On this kind of battlefield."

After destroying the wandering Anubis, we were more cautious in our march. It turned out that these ultimate Atlantean armies that had been used to fight against the Viskar Chaos Legion were even more powerful when facing the Imperial Heroic Combat Troopers. They are not vulnerable. Their special fighting methods and targeted tactics can suddenly pose a great threat to us. There were only dozens of Anubis that appeared just now, and their attacks were not enough to cover the entire unit instantly. Attack, but if an equal number of enemies had just attacked us, maybe even the Ravens and Armored Scorpions would have suffered battle losses at this time. At least, we would not have won so easily. The accompanying Atlantis warriors knew the terrifying power of Anubis and Valkyrie from the beginning, and they always maintained a high degree of vigilance. However, several monsters from Gensokyo had just become serious and nervous at this time. During the journey, there were scorpions, crows, and bees who could handle everything, and enemies like Valkyrie had no means of long-range attacks. They only needed to throw out barrages under strict protection, so there was no sense of urgency. Some people even eat snacks while walking - Yuyuko said you! Don't hold onto Youmu's companion spirit and chew on it - but after the appearance of Anubis, who can infinite teleportation and long-range attacks, these rough and tumble girls can be said to be scared.

Without him, I don’t know if it was intentional or what happened. An Armored Scorpion reacted a little too slowly "accidentally", and an Anubis teleported directly to Youmu. Bigfoot almost killed Youmu. It’s a pie dream.

After occupying the last small hall along the way and successfully repairing various equipment inside that had been physically offline, the control power of the Xiling host was finally effectively expanded to the inner city, although it was still unable to restart the nether energy pipe network in the inner city. , but at least the gray-black clouds and mist on the street became much darker. I don’t know if Anubis and Valkyrie’s actions were affected by the receding abyss, and the probability of their appearance was greatly reduced. Therefore, we were able to move forward smoothly, and finally Half an hour later, we arrived at the last goal: the Twin Temples - Daytime Temple.

Strictly speaking, this is one of the two "real" temples in Atlantis.

There are countless large and small palaces and temples in this city. They are the residences of Zeus, Poseidon and other leaders of Atlantis. I call them temples. In fact, it is just out of my own habit. Atlantis The Landis people themselves don't dare to call it that.

For the Atlanteans, even their most beloved leader, they never dared to directly promote Zeus to the level of a "god". Ares included the "gods" who have a place on Mount Olympus. They all call themselves servants of God, because they believe that they were born under the power of the "Great God" (no doubt referring to the Xiling Apostles). The only real gods in the world are the "Great Gods", and powerful people like themselves have the power. They are just servants created by the great gods. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Temple of Zeus and the Temple of Poseidon in this city are not temples. There are only two temples that the Atlanteans dare to admit: the Twin Temples.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the great god led the gods...well, probably hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was two senior apostles who led a group of scientists to Atlantis to conduct ecological surveys. According to Ares Hades and others After piecing together the descriptions of the gods, I judged that the two so-called great gods should be one level lower than Paopao (that is, not directly subordinate to the emperor, but owned by a research team under a certain regional general) Xiling hosts, they led the original research and built their own mother nest in the place where the city of Atlantis was first established. The existence of these two mother nests runs through the entire Atlantis civilization. The latter They never dared to make any kind of changes to these "gods' constructions". It was just that after the war broke out, the city of Atlantis was built around the two broods according to the guidance of the "gods" to defend their gods to the death. . When the end came, these two crucial Xiling mother nests rose into the sky together and entered the other world, and were highly revered by the Atlanteans as the Twin Temples.

The two temples, or mother nests, are located at opposite ends of the inner city. Sandora has already activated one of them, and now we have seen the magnificent figure of one of them.

And...the ruins and smoke of war near the brood nest.
