Cataclysm King - #102 - Chapter 102: A-level plot, fortress attack

  Chapter 102 A-level plot, fortress attack

  Ji Xun knew that this was a human being, so he wasn’t worried about anything.

  He walked over directly and revealed his identity: “Master Ronan, I am a member of the scouting army sent by the kingdom to investigate the secret passage of demons.”

   Briefly introduced his identity.

  Before finishing speaking, Master Ronan said: “Don’t touch the magic chain on my body. Otherwise, I will be discovered by the devil.”

   “.”

  Ji Xun didn’t plan to move at all.

  He saw just now that this guy was not tied with an ordinary rope, but a rune chain with the effect of banning magic.

  But when the old mage spoke, there was no change.

  He wanted to find out more information, but pretended not to know, and said, “Demon?”

“good.”

  Master Ronan didn’t say much, but asked again: “Do you have anything else to prove your identity?”

   Ji Xun thought for a while, and took out the victory card and a few devil horns.

  Looking at those devil horns, Master Ronan obviously believed it, and said, “No wonder you can come here. Your strength is really impressive.”

   As he spoke, he sighed and said, “If I’m not mistaken, many people in the Meteor Eagle Fortress should have been invaded by the devil’s minions. I didn’t expect anyone to be able to avoid the devil’s eyeliner and sneak into the dungeon.”

  Ji Xun was still not sure about the position of the old mage in front of him, and tentatively said along the topic: “When I came here before, I found that many people had problems. Master Ronan, can you tell me what happened?”

   This is a standard script to guide the plot.

Ronan also seemed to know that his situation was very bad, so he didn’t hide anything, and said directly: “Three months ago, we found that the number of demons in the Jagged Forest was abnormal. Then we guessed that there might be some secret passage for the demons in the north to pass through the howl.” The abyss, so there have been investigations. Then we stumbled upon a very suspicious place, and my old friend led soldiers there. He fought a battle with the demons. But after returning, he became very strange. He no longer pursued the passage, and did not arrange for other people to go again. I thought he was injured, so I wanted to lead the team to see it myself. As you can see, I am now trapped in the dungeon.”

   Sure enough, the NPC knows the most about the plot.

   Not outsiders like them.

  The information content in the words is very large.

  Ji Xun listened carefully to every word in the words.

   This is obviously what those soldiers said before, the fortress commander was injured in a battle with the devil.

   It turned out that something suspicious was discovered?

  Ji Xun was also afraid that something might happen to this guy while he was talking, so he asked directly: “Where is that place? I can go and investigate.”

Ronan said with a frightening expression on his face, “Near the barren tower. Thirty kilometers northeast of the fortress, near the edge of the abyss, there is a stone tower. It used to be the grave of the soldiers who died heroically in the battle with the devil. But be careful, those red-eyed bats are the eyeliner of the devil.”

  Ji Xun carefully wrote down the coordinates.

  Time does not allow beating around the bush at all. He thought about it and asked directly: “Master Ronan, forgive me. Since you have already found out that there is something wrong with the commander, why didn’t he kill you?”

  Hearing this, Ronan had an expression of approval, and praised: “Young man, you are very thoughtful.”

After a pause, he said directly: “My life is connected with the magic restriction of the fortress. This is a military secret that only I and the commander know in the fortress. The fortress itself is also a beacon tower. As long as I die, the beacon fire As soon as the platform is lit, the kingdom will definitely send people to investigate. So they sealed my magic power and imprisoned here. I can’t even commit suicide.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun suddenly understood after hearing this.

   No wonder this NPC is locked in a dungeon instead of killed once and for all.

Mage Ronan didn’t bother, and finally saw a soldier of the kingdom, so he directly arranged the task: “If possible, I want you to report the situation of Meteor Eagle Fortress to Thunder Fortress first. The demon vanguard has arrived, and the high-level officials of the kingdom have not yet If you pay a little attention to it, you may suffer a big loss in the future.”

  Ji Xun heard this and knew that coming to the dungeon would inevitably trigger this plot.

Then, Master Ronan said again: “I will give you the magic key of the fortress. You go to my residence, there is a secret compartment behind the seventh book on the bookshelf, where you can find my rune token. That can prove your Identity. But be careful, the rune token is necessary to control the enchantment authority of the fortress, and the demon is also looking for that thing”

When Ji Xun heard this, Enlightenment had already appeared: “Trigger the B-level legion plot ‘Master Ronan’s message’. Before the task is completed, everyone must cover the token holder to return to the Thunder Fortress smoothly, otherwise they will not be able to Leave the space. The task rewards 30,000 combat exploits;”

   As he expected.

   Coming to the Meteor Eagle Fortress really triggered the advanced difficulty plot.

   But only .B grade?

  Ji Xun looked at the content of the mission, but thought of something else in his mind.

   Even when Ji Xun was in Meteor Eagle Fortress, the three hundred elites of the Beast Legion had already arrived in the middle of the Sawtooth Forest.

  They have long learned from intelligence that there is a second-level D-level disaster hidden in the cave here.

  This is exactly the goal of their trip.

  The direct members of the Lionheart family need to clear a difficult different-dimensional space in the trial, and then personally behead a calamity that is not lower than the second level.

   Right now this end is just right.

  Although I was blocked by the demon army all the way before, I lost a little manpower.

   But the combat power of the Beast Legion is not much less.

   Hunting and killing a Tier 2 disaster is more than enough.

  At this moment, Kahn, the ninth young master of the Lionheart family, was sitting leisurely in the marching tent, drinking coffee, eating dessert, and enjoying the gentle service of two well-behaved military maids.

  For a top-notch young master of his level, the death rate in different dimensions has never mattered to them.

   That is something for subordinates to consider.

When the legion commander came to the tent, he didn’t dare to look directly at the charming scene of the two waitresses. He bowed his head and asked for instructions: “Master, the vanguard scouts have confirmed that the cave in front is the second-level D-level disaster. Please show me!” “

  Kan played with the girl’s beautiful body and lazily said: “Just follow the plan.”

“yes.”

The commander gave a military salute, and said: “The Beast Legion will first lead out the demons and maim them, and then the young master will hunt and strip the demon horns. But before that, young master, you may have to prepare the armor in advance, and the recording officer will record your Some magical images of battle.”

  Kan got up from the tender bodies of the two women with an impatient expression on his face: “Got it.”

  The legion commander didn’t dare to say anything, and withdrew from the tent.

   As long as the calamity is killed, this mission is complete.

  But after exiting the tent, the faint heart palpitations that the commander had just felt became more intense.

  Suddenly turned into a beast, revealing a pair of fox ears.

  He, like most of the soldiers of the Beast Legion, is in the [Four of Spades – Beast Walker] professional sequence.

   But the main material of the professional card is not a beast.

  It is a very rare monster [Flash Fox] that is fused.

   This gave him an extraordinary ability to perceive crises.

  The commander doesn’t know where this sense of crisis comes from.

  Looking up at the beacon towers lit up in the distance, the expression on his face became serious instead of relaxed, and he asked loudly, “What’s the situation with the beacon towers over there? Is there any news?”

  Even though people had been sent there before, the sixth beacon tower still lit up.

   That is to say, there might be something wrong with the elite team they sent.

   But it is still unclear whether it was stopped by a monster or for other reasons.

  Although the commander doesn’t think any first-tier card masters can pose a threat to the five-member elite team of their beast army.

  But the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

   Obviously, only some cannon fodder hunters were recruited this time, how could there be such a powerful character?

  It can’t help but make people suspect that the man may have come for his young master.

   The courier responded: “I have sent people again, but there is no information feedback yet.”

  Commander: “What about other places?”

  Messengers: “The remaining beacon towers have also sent people to investigate. Some key intersections leading to the north of the Sawtooth Forest have also been stationed to intercept people. They will never let people break into the high-risk areas in the north of the forest.”

  “.”

  The commander nodded after listening to his subordinate’s report, so he felt a little more at ease.

   Could it be that I am too nervous and worry too much?

  Now they hold the key information of the C-level plot in their hands, and no one can get out unless they complete the mission.

  The initiative is completely in their hands.

  Before it was discovered that the beacon tower was ignited, additional manpower was deployed to block roads at key passes in the forest.

  Theoretically speaking, they have ruled out all factors that might affect their young master’s trial.

   However, the accident still came.

  It came very suddenly.

   Before the commander could breathe a sigh of relief.

   Without warning, everyone in the beast army saw enlightenment.

  Looking at the plot task of “delivering Master Ronan’s message back to Thunder Fortress”, everyone in the Beast Legion widened their eyes.

because,

   This mission was not triggered by them!

  The huge camp instantly felt like an enemy.

  The commander shouted violently: “Damn it! Who triggered the B-level difficulty plot?!”

  Highly difficult plots can’t be triggered just by triggering them. Without that strength, it’s simply impossible.

   Besides, the C-level plot has not been completed yet, and the follow-up clues are unclear. How did that person trigger the B-level?

   Now, no one can leave until this B-level task is completed.

   That means they can’t get out either!

  This is a war mode. Even for elites like them, the staff estimates that the death rate on B-level difficulty exceeds 40%.

  However, they didn’t expect that the accident was more than that.

   Not long after, Enlightenment reappeared.

  In the dungeon of Meteorhawk Fortress.

  Ji Xun looked at the B-level letter delivery mission that appeared in Qidi, his eyes rolled, and his thoughts had already thought of various plots that would happen after receiving the mission.

  Even if you haven’t got that “magic token”.

  He can also guess that, like the devil’s horn, it is probably a special item that cannot be stored in space.

   Also for some reason leaks traces and attracts demons.

  He sent letters all the way back to Thunder Fortress, and he was bound to be chased and killed by the demon army.

oh,

   There is also the hunt of the beast army!

  Ji Xun doesn’t think it’s a good choice to get that thing by himself right now.

   And, most importantly.

  He feels that this intensity is not enough.

   “According to the current difficulty of the plot, there are at most a few second-order ordinary demons in B-level difficulty.”

  Ji Xun estimated the difficulty of the B-level plot based on the previous D-level difficulty.

   quickly concluded,

  This will make the beast army lose,

   But it is not enough to destroy it.

   If you beat a snake and survive, there will be endless troubles.

   Only triggered the B-level plot.

   This is clearly not as expected.

  The only really good news is that the mission is not completed, and those guys from the Beast Legion can’t get out.

   Besides, making things happen is one thing.

  Clearing customs is also one of the fun.

  Ji Xun also felt that completing this mission of sending letters was not the right way to clear the customs.

   But only the middle ring.

  The ultimate intelligence pointed to by all the clues is still the “secret channel of the demons”.

  He thought of something else.

  Ji Xun saw this task, and a bolder plan suddenly appeared in his mind.

  The beast army is Ji Xun’s biggest threat at present.

  But from some perspectives, it is also good.

  The purpose of those guys choosing to recruit two hundred hunters is to serve as bait.

   Then in Ji Xun’s eyes, there is no better bait than the beast army!

  To protect the young master, they must concentrate their forces.

   It’s like the time in the maze in the Great Cemetery. Such a large target can definitely attract the firepower of most demons in the Sawtooth Forest.

   It’s still “Battle of the Outposts”.

   It also means that the number of demon legions coming to the sawtooth forest is not too large.

   Judging from the current intelligence, they are lurking in the forest and slowly infiltrating the three major fortresses.

  The fact that they are not aggressively attacking now is simply because they thought the invasion plan had not been exposed, and the penetration of the fortress did not meet expectations.

   But what if it is exposed in advance?

  Ji Xun is sure that if the demon army knows that the plan has been exposed, they will definitely choose to attack the three fortresses ahead of schedule.

  Otherwise all arrangements will be in vain.

  When the time comes, all hidden demons will come out in full force.

  However, there is a super powerful army like the Beast Legion operating in the Sawtooth Forest, which will definitely attract the main force of the demons in the first place.

   This is also a great benefit for Ji Xun.

  He is crazy and conceited, but not blind to death.

  Because he already has an idea to clear the level!

  If the plan develops according to his expectations, customs clearance is also very possible.

  Because, the number of demon army is limited!

  Once a full-scale war breaks out and the beast army attracts the main force of the demon army, the number of demons in other places will be greatly reduced.

   For example: near that secret passage!

  Ji Xun’s inquiry just now has obtained clues about the directionality of the passage, and the passage is near the “Desolate Spire”.

   Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that such an important place must be heavily guarded.

   If you dive rashly, even with a relic-level invisibility cloak, Ji Xun is not very sure.

   But now someone draws fire,

   There is no better chance!

   But the only thing that is not ideal now is that the monsters are not strong enough.

  Alien-dimensional space allows adventurers to come in, definitely not to die.

   Instead, if so many people come in, they will definitely be able to handle the number of monsters of corresponding difficulty.

  But the current B-level difficulty is definitely not up to the intensity that would wipe out an elite army like the beast army.

   Higher difficulty is required!

   Switching to other places, it is really impossible to detonate this plan.

  But just now, Ji Xun caught a very important message from the words of Master Ronan: Once he dies, the Meteor Eagle Fortress will ignite the flames of war.

  Both demons and humans will know that something went wrong immediately!

  This is much more straightforward than sending letters.

  Once the devil knows that the plan has been exposed, he will inevitably choose to attack in advance.

  Dimensional space is a random plot mode, even if you receive a mission, you can change and dig deeper!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at the old mage in front of him, and suddenly said: “Master Ronan, to tell you the truth, the situation may be more critical than you think. The demon army has spread all over the Jagged Forest. After my investigation, I’m sure In the Thunder Fortress, there are also demons inside. Just relying on our little force, we can no longer defend the northern fortress.”

After a pause, he continued: “If I deliver the letter now, it doesn’t matter whether it can be delivered smoothly. The time consumed by this process will also give the demons in other fortresses time to prepare. And if I am exposed, they will even Lose the only little advantage we currently have.”

  Master Ronan obviously understood the potential meaning of his words.

  After pondering for a moment, a relieved smile appeared on his face: “Young man, you are more courageous than I thought.”

   When Ji Xun heard this, he didn’t say any more.

  It’s good that the old man understands.

   No matter whether this different-dimensional space is a parallel world or some other existence.

  The role of the old mage is destined to end in tragedy.

   And it is time to make a choice from a rational point of view.

  The longer it drags on, the worse the situation for the human camp will be in this third Holy Grail War.

   Ji Xun’s hint is also obvious, the news can only be passed on as soon as the old mage dies.

   Even if the old man refuses to agree.

  Ji Xun will also help him.

   But obviously, Master Ronan understands righteousness.

  Looking at Ji Xun with those kind eyes, it is obvious that he has made a sacrifice.

  But he suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the mission: “If you were in the same situation, would you make the same choice as me?”

  Ji Xun was stared at by those wise eyes, and didn’t feel that he regarded the old mage in front of him as an NPC at all.

  This question is like a collision of human wisdom and morality in two time and space.

  He thought for a while, and said lightly: “If I were you, I would. But I am me. I will use my own way to deal with any problems I encounter. My beliefs will not be changed by the situation.”

   Master Ronan listened and smiled.

   “You are the brightest young man I have seen in recent years.”

He seemed to agree with the answer, and nodded: “There is a book of magic secrets hidden on the bookshelf in my house, which records my research on the demon family over the years. I will give it to my little friend. The war is far more than this. I hope you can do it like this.” As you said, on the road ahead, you will strengthen your beliefs and keep going.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun is not sure if this triggers the hidden plot of the different-dimensional space, or if the old man is really dying and wants to give gifts.

  Suddenly for a moment, he felt that this kind of person should not die.

  Even if it is a plot character in a different-dimensional space.

  Ji Xun thought of something else.

  Thoughts that have nothing to do with different dimensions.

  Who can guarantee that he must not be a certain plot character in the eyes of some higher latitude existence.

   But time has not allowed much hesitation.

   With a flash of thought, Ji Xun cut open the chain of forbidden magic.

   This chain has been broken, and the demons outside will notice it immediately.

  Ji Xun didn’t dare to stop, “Farewell!”

   With a sound of falling, he rushed towards the exit of the dungeon.

   Waiting for Ji Xun to arrive at the exit, he suddenly felt a violent surge of magic power coming from behind him.

  It seemed that some switch was triggered, and then the entire fortress was lit up with dazzling magic runes, and a beam of blue light shot into the sky.

   The beacon tower of Meteor Eagle Fortress was set on fire!

At the same time, enlightenment has appeared: “The beacon tower of Meteor Eagle Fortress has been ignited, triggering an unexpected plot ‘The devil’s plan is exposed, and the fortress war begins’. The devil knows that his plan has been exposed, and the eight demon leaders hidden in the sawtooth forest will all act. Attack three fortresses. The fortress has been closed, and no one can return to the fortress. The difficulty of the plot is raised to A.”

  Ji Xun was not surprised.

  This kind of plot is worthy of A-level difficulty.

  He lurks in the darkness, quietly observing the dungeon.

   Almost immediately after the blue light came on, a figure rushed into the dungeon very quickly.

  The compass in his hand turned rapidly, and he also knew that it was the second-level disaster disguised as the commander.

   Immediately, there were sounds of fierce fighting in the dungeon.

  Ji Xun didn’t dare to delay any longer. With the old mage helping him to drag the monster, this is the best time to get the things.

  He rushed towards the tallest buildings in the fortress.

   On the other hand, in the Sawtooth Forest.

  The people of the Beast Legion were still in shock about who triggered the “B-level plot”.

  However, as soon as the enlightenment of this “A-level plot” appeared,

  Everyone was shocked.

  The commander of the legion was even more horrified: “Damn it! Who is it!”

  He is still sure to pay a certain price to pass the B-level plot.

  However, in the A-level difficulty of the war mode, even such a well-equipped beast army has a very high mortality rate.

  The loss of the Beast Legion is a trivial matter. If Master Kahn is injured, the trouble will be really big.

  Everyone in the beast army was shocked and terrified.

  Even the young master Kahn frowned when he saw the “A-level plot” on Enlightenment.

  However, more of it was the cold anger of being offended, “Tsk tsk. Did you hit Master Ben on the head?”

  Equally confused, there are those demons.

  They never expected that the human reinforcements were still in the south of the forest.

  Why was the beacon tower of Meteor Eagle Fortress set ablaze?

   But the fact is that the beacon tower of Meteor Eagle Fortress is lit up.

  Their invasion plans have been exposed.

   Once the beacon tower of the fortress is one point, the army of the human kingdom will come to reinforce it.

  Although the layout has not met expectations, it is too late to wait any longer.

   Must act now!

   Almost at the moment when the beacon tower was lit, all the demons lurking near the mountains were ordered to attack in advance.

  Countless bat clones gathered in the dense forest to form a tall figure, this is the second-order A-level disaster [Thunder Bat Commander Mitt];

  A flaming serpent also climbed out of the Red Ridge Cave, this is the second-order A-level disaster [Bone Snake Commander Tuttle];

   There is also the second-order A-level disaster lurking in the Thunder Fortress [Heart-stealing Commander Barker];

  The second-order B grade [Toad Commander Henk] hidden in the poisonous swamp of the sawtooth forest also slowly crawled out of the quagmire;

  Bone Mountain

  Ancient Cemetery

  Everywhere in the vast sawtooth forest, the eight hidden demon commanders appeared one after another. They each led an army of tens of thousands of demons, and launched a fierce attack on the three fortresses together!

  The target of the attack at the same time is the human army in the forest.
