Chapter 475
The moment the order fell.
Jie Ming's consciousness completed the final connection with the control core of the twelve giant cannons.
He "felt" that he had twelve extra "bodies" at the same time, each body was a metal giant pillar thirty meters long and three meters in diameter, with more than seven million precision runes engraved inside, and at this moment, it was greedily extracting the massive energy stored in the temporary elemental pool at the bottom of the fortress.
Then, he cast the "gaze" of these "bodies" toward the airspace outside that boundary line on the sand table, where the red light spots were most dense.
Lock on.
No need to aim precisely at a certain individual.
Just need to cover that area.
"Launch."
Jie Ming said softly in his consciousness.
Outside Fortress 7.
Twelve cannon towers located in different directions of the fortress emitted a low hum like a giant beast waking up at the same time.
The multi-layer armor plates on the top of the cannon towers slid to both sides, revealing the bottomless launch shaft below.
Inside the shaft, dazzling white light began to condense.
That is not ordinary light, that is a high-concentration elemental collection that has been forcibly stripped of "energy attributes" and returned to the most primitive "fire element."
Wherever the light reached, the inner wall of the metal cannon tower began to show signs of melting, and the air ionized large areas of electric arcs.
Charging.
Then...
Twelve pure white light beams with a diameter of more than five meters sprayed out from the muzzle.
The light beams did not shoot toward the sky, but bombarded the "boundary line" 120 kilometers ahead at a slightly downward angle.
At the same time, other cannon towers on the metal fortress, and even the cannon towers of other fortresses, also launched attacks together.
These light beams began to expand and blend during the flight.
When they arrived at the target airspace, countless light beams had merged into a destructive light river with a width of more than three kilometers, composed purely of "decomposition" and "purification" laws.
On the trajectory swept by the light river, everything was "simplified."
Whether it was the curse ripples of the Chaos Secret Sect or the annihilation beams of the Tower of Annihilation, they lost their specialty in the face of more basic decomposition laws and turned into free elemental energy.
Even space itself was briefly "ironed flat" of all wrinkles and fluctuations.
And those unlucky wizards who happened to be within the coverage of the light river...
Those from Level 3 to Level 5 didn't even have time to scream, their bodies were directly vaporized in the white light, and their soul fragments were rolled into the elemental turbulence and crushed.
Level 6 ones, the shields they propped up melted like thin ice in the sun, and their flesh began to disintegrate from the molecular level.
Only the few lucky ones who reacted fastest and immediately used life-saving trump cards managed to escape the range of the light river, but they were all seriously injured and dying.
Even the nearly a hundred Level 7 wizards rushing at the front, more than a dozen were dodged and grazed by the edge of the light river.
A Level 7 wizard of the Chaos Secret Sect, half of his body fell into the white light.
He roared crazily, and thick blood-colored mist erupted from his body trying to resist, but the mist was "purified" into harmless steam the moment it touched the white light.
His right arm, right shoulder, and a small half of his chest disappeared silently like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
He staggered back, his remaining left eye full of shock and lingering fear.
If he hadn't decisively abandoned that part of his flesh and used a "pain transfer" curse to disperse the damage to his cannon fodder units, he might have fallen at that moment just now.
The light river lasted for three seconds.
Three seconds later, the energy was exhausted, and the white light dissipated.
What was left was a "blank zone" with a width of three kilometers, a length of more than 1,500 kilometers, and a height that was difficult to measure.
Within the zone, the sky in the edge area was abnormally pure blue, because all clouds, dust, and energy residues were purified.
And at the highest point of this sky, one could vaguely see the scene of "another layer" of space.
That is the chaotic void that can be seen directly because the powerful attack briefly erased the plane barrier.
The ground appeared with a molten gully that was hundreds of meters deep and as smooth as a mirror at the edges.
This shot forcibly cut off the pursuit.
The wizards of the Chaos Secret Sect and the Tower of Annihilation stopped their steps in front of the gully in unison.
They floated in mid-air, looking at the dividing line that seemed to be drawn on the earth with a giant pen, and their faces were extremely heavy.
And further away from the gully, through the energy afterglow that had not completely dissipated, they finally saw the layout of Nuolun Workshop clearly.
On the barren earth, every few dozen kilometers, a pitch-black metal fortress stood.
The surface of the fortress flowed with the luster of runes, and the cannon towers on the top were slowly adjusting their angles.
And in the vast airspace between these fortresses, were cannon fodder legions that almost obscured the entire field of vision.
And, floating at the very front of the cannon fodder legions, that...
Shadow army that emitted heart-palpitating pressure.
On the Chaos Secret Sect side, Rotten Throat Mo Erdi flew to the front of the formation slowly.
His bloodshot eyes stared dead at the fortress cluster in the distance, and countless data stream-like calculation light shadows flashed rapidly in the depths of his pupils.
Soon, he reached a conclusion.
"Super-large composite defensive magic array... using those metal fortresses as nodes, the energy circuit connection has been initially completed."
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying suppressed anger.
"Although it is not perfect enough, the defensive strength may only be 30% of the design value... but it is also a tricky turtle shell."
Mo Erdi spat fiercely, and a few drops of pus and blood sprayed from his rotten lips.
"Nuolun Workshop's alchemy-type wizards... the number is too many!"
This is the situation he is most worried about.
In the case where the fate line is polluted and the opponent's specific movement cannot be predicted, the only thing they can do is to press the entire army after the curse attack ends, striving to defeat them before they build a complete defensive system.
But it was only delayed by the vanguard legion for less than ten minutes...
The other side had already completed the construction of more than a hundred fortresses and initially connected the magic array network between the fortresses!
"But since we are here..."
Mo Erdi took a deep breath, an action that made his chest emit a bellows-like hiss.
He slowly raised his rotten right hand and waved it forward.
"Then we can't just retreat so simply."
The order spread throughout the army through the spiritual network.
"All units..."
"Cannon fodder legion, release!"
"First wave of impact, start!"
The moment the order fell.
In the direction of the joint army of the Chaos Secret Sect and the Tower of Annihilation, that black tide that could not see the edge began to boil.
Hundreds of billions of cannon fodder units were released by the wizards, like a swarm of insects pouring out of a nest, roaring, growling, turning into torrents, rushing toward the gully plowed by the light cannon, rushing toward the Nuolun Workshop defense line waiting in full battle array behind the gully.
The sky was completely obscured.
The earth groaned under the trampling of hundreds of millions of tons of mass.
The war began to enter the bloodiest stage.
