Chapter 1369： Calm

In the eyes of most Cecils who have come into contact with the siren, these allies from the deep sea are a group of gentle, harmless and very interesting friends. They are friendly and peaceful, have a strong curiosity about terrestrial things, and know a lot of land. Exotic mysteries and advanced technologies that the race does not understand, they have wonderful living habits and life forms, and occasionally there are some behaviors that seem to be very neurotic to others. "Professionals" who deal with the sea often say this.

The above is the impression that the siren left on most land races, or strictly speaking, the impression they left on their "friends", and in this world, few people would stand on the hostile position of this group of deep-sea creatures. And to feel the other side of them, this may be because the character of this group is so friendly and gentle that almost no one can really become their enemy.

Therefore, for thousands of years, only the sons of the storm have experienced the abundant virtues of this group of ocean masters, and now, the people who have won this honor have added a group of dark priests living in the wasteland.

Like ten thousand thunders exploding next to him, the force of a mighty force crushed the ancient fortress platform, reminiscent of some kind of deep sea monster, the huge tentacles smashed down, and the solid artificial rock formation that has stood still to this day The smashed torn apart, the sea monster who claimed to be the "master of deep sea war" did not use any weapons and equipment, and almost completely destroyed the entire platform with its amazing "body". The rain rose outside the fortress, and even ignoring gravity on the plain. The bulge formed a "high mountain" formed by water, and in the tumbling waves, countless tentacles danced under the surface of the water, and dizzying patterns flickered on the surfaces of those tentacles. There were waves of roars like a tsunami in Banor's mind, making him unable to even think completely.

In the long-term research and devouring process of the wreckage of the Lord of the Storm, the Krakens controlled the power of the ocean. The runes on the surface of their bodies are the extension of this authority. For those more powerful Krakens, these runes Wen is not only a passive pattern, but also an attack method that can be actively controlled. By rearranging the position of the rune and enhancing the effect of specific nodes, they can also turn a rune with a healing effect into a rune that can destroy the enemy’s mind. "Cracked Heart Matrix", as the most powerful warlord in the deep sea, Vanessa knows this well.

Her huge sea monster form is one of Antavien's most powerful weapons.

In the stagnant water that was about to overflow the platform, Banor struggled to maintain his position. His body has completely changed into another appearance in the continuous combat, becoming larger, bloated, and even more weird. Distorted, in order to survive, he released his dark magic to the limit, turning himself into a group of heterogeneous creatures mixed with intertwined roots and flesh and bones, standing like a suture with a faint human outline. In the torrential rain, this stitched giant was twice as tall as the largest "behemoth". However, compared with Vanessa in the form of a sea monster, it was still as small as a salted fish.

Lifting his head, Banor stared at the huge female upper body, but the lower part of the "Deep Sea War Master" who was in the form of a sea demon, uttered an angry roar that could no longer be classified as a human voice. He knew that he couldn't go back today. Now, even if this group of Krakens retreat from the battlefield, his uncontrollable body will disintegrate and collapse in the next half month. The fear of death has already turned into monstrous anger and hatred, countless dark red energy. Flowing between his flesh and blood, and instantly condensed into dozens of thick beams of light, piercing the surrounding tentacles that spread out of the water.

He did not try to attack the other person’s "weakness" such as the head and heart of the human body, even though the latter's raised body seemed to be a good target. It turns out that that kind of attack is useless, that coquettish. The weird "human body" is just a kind of mimicry, there is no weakness at all. After the skull is blasted, there is only water in it, and it can grow back in a few seconds, but the surrounding tentacles, although they can also regenerate , But once the rune structure on their surface is destroyed, it seems that they can indeed cause certain damage to this "war master".

Some tentacles evaded these beams, but there were still several beams that hit Vanessa’s body. The powerful decay force caused those tentacles to instantly die, fall off, and become part of the surrounding waves. Nisha didn't seem to feel the pain at all, but looked at Banor who had changed his appearance with some curiosity: "You will also be deformed? Can you be individual?"

The blow just now consumed an astonishing amount of magic power. The body that was already on the verge of losing control had a tendency to fall apart in the violent impact brought by the magic backlash. The turbulent power ran away in the body, and it almost exhausted its energy just by suppressing it. , But compared to the excessive extraction of magic, the mental damage was even more unbearable for Banor. He looked at the surrounding waves that had surged to completely submerge the entire fortress. The waves were no longer rain water, some kind of salty water. The breath reminded him that this place is gradually turning into a "sea", and between this rough sea and endless rainstorms, the clergy of priests he brought and the army of deformed bodies that survived the shelling Has long ceased to exist.

Only a few dark priests in sight are still alive. They huddled on a few exposed city walls or floating planks and tree trunks, trembling in the wind and rain, and sea monsters holding tridents or particle assault rifles swimming around them. Like sharks, the dark priests have given up resistance and have nowhere to escape, because under their feet, in the depths of the waves, there are countless larger and terrifying shadows...

Banor withdrew his gaze, and huge despair finally filled his mind. He felt that the magic in his body was gradually losing control. The body that was barely suppressed to maintain stability began to collapse uncontrollably. He raised his head and saw the huge The female body was looking down. Although it was just a purely curious sight, his eyes seemed to be filled with unspeakable contempt and insult. Coupled with the crazy roars of the runes shining under the water in his mind, he finally felt There is a thread in his mind that is completely broken.

He opened his "arm", which had completely lost its form, and gathered the most powerful magic power he had gathered in his life. Countless small light spots floated from his body, from the dead dark priests' bodies in the surrounding water. Floating out, even from the living followers near him. Amidst the exclaims and wailing of the former compatriots, a black-red light ball compressed to the extreme appeared on Banor’s chest, around the sphere. The light is distorted, and even abnormally reflects the scene behind the light sphere.

"Dead!!" Banor yelled. He didn't try to "launch" the ball of light, because just maintaining its existence had exhausted all his power, so he chose to detonate it on the spot.

A dazzling flash was accompanied by countless crazy and chaotic thunder bursts centered on Banor. Vanessa felt the deadly power at this moment, and was shocked: "...surprise!"

Then countless tentacles instantly rolled up from the nearby waves, and the end of each tentacles was tightly wrapped around a large force field stabilizer. At the moment of the moment, the war lord used his tentacles to surround the explosion point. When it got up, the force field generator was running at full power, and the center of a spherical shell formed in the blink of an eye was all the magic released by Banor.

The deep roar shook the nearby sea water, and the little magic leaked from the gaps in the shield evaporated the large swaths of stagnant water on the fragmented platform. Even the rain in the sky seemed to stop for a moment, and then all the dust settled. .

The explosion in the center of the protective force field came and went quickly. After the rapid eruption, there was nothing left. Vanessa slowly lowered the surrounding tentacles, and threw the force field generators that had been damaged by the overload aside. , Looked a little dazedly at the rapidly rising waves around the empty platform and then drowned everything.

"Really a man who can do what he says..."

Then she looked around and saw that the sparse dark priests were rising and falling in the water. The process of Barnor's absorption of magic power just now almost killed them, but they are indeed still alive, but they are weak enough to even one. The branches are hard to move.

The nearby Kraken soldiers swarmed up and captured all these prisoners.

Vanessa thought for a while, and slowly retracted the tentacles clinging to the fortress. Her body shrank in the rain a little bit, and the heavy rain from the sky also slowly stopped. The turbulent waves on the plains were visible at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. It calmed down, transpired, or returned to the sky, or infiltrated into the depths of the ground. In the process, masses of "pure water" precipitated out of the waves and turned into "engineer sea monsters" without any armed forces.

During the entire previous battle, it was these "engineers" sea monsters that maintained the rainfall, stagnant water, and "sea-regionalization" of the entire area. The next task was to dry the plain again and make it dry. Back to the original state.

This is how the Krakens fight on dry land. There are three main personnel on the battlefield, one is general, one is soldier, and the other is the battlefield. This is where they are on this "dry and waterless" planet. Learned experience.

Vanessa gathered her strength and changed into the form of a snake-tailed Kraken again. She walked among the ruins of the fort that had been almost completely demolished by herself, and at the same time directed the soldiers to clean the battlefield and gather the captives. At this moment, she Hearing Kassandra’s voice suddenly came over: "General, are you okay? I just sensed that there was a very large energy explosion on your side..."

"It's okay on my side. The battle is over, the damage is not serious, and a few prisoners have been captured. General Byron may be interested in the secrets in the minds of these dark priests...if they do have a brain structure. ."

"Okay, I'll tell General Byron the news," Cassandra's voice sounded relieved, "But what is the energy burst on your side just now..."

"I met a good opponent who believed in words," General Vanessa sighed softly, looking back at the castle high platform under the fierce battle just now. The already shattered and crumbling high platform has now lost the buoyancy of water. Support, just crashing down in front of her, "Have a good fight, I am a brave general..."

"Opponent who believes? Brave general?" Cassandra suddenly couldn't keep up with General Vanessa's thinking. "What are you talking about?"

"It should be the highest commander of this place. He fought with me for a long time, and then suddenly said the word'death' to me very loudly, and then died on the spot," Vanessa looked far away, and the sky was dark. After dispersing, the sun approaching dusk slanted on her brilliant scales and long hair. The war lord from the deep sea sighed at the opponent he met today, "No ambiguity at all..."

"...General Vanessa?"

"what?"

"I think you might have misunderstood something... but forget it, it's not an important matter," Kassandra's voice was a little weird, and it sounded like hesitating, but she soon changed her conversation, "General Byron. The Marine Corps sent out just cleared the wandering distortion near the landing site and repaired the magic net hub near the bank of the Aldo River. We have now resumed direct communication with the Highmountain Kingdom and the Silver Empire. Communication on the battlefield is already operating normally."

"Oh, this is a good thing," Vanessa suddenly laughed. As a professional soldier, she knows the meaning of communication recovery. "Then I will let people sort out the battlefield report as soon as possible, our Sisi My friend needs to know the situation here as soon as possible."

"Yes," Cassandra replied, "One more thing, this place is not far from the Greta Fortress of the Highmountain Kingdom. We just learned that King Audris of Highmountain is sitting in that fortress himself. General Byron intends to take someone over to meet with his allies. I hope you can also go there. Is it convenient for you?"

Vanessa raised her head and looked in the direction of Greta Fortress. Before landing from the air, she saw the human fortress and naturally knew where it was.

"The king of the Gaoling Kingdom... No problem, it is necessary to meet allies at this time, and I will return to the Sea Abyss Calder as soon as possible to join you..."

Cassandra's voice came: "Okay, when will you arrive? I can make arrangements with General Byron."

Vanessa thought for a while, used her tail to roll up a usable light wave war blade from the side of the ground, and pointed the war blade to her head while casually repliing: "It will be there in about a minute..."

"...Don't worry about it! You just rush back in a normal way!"

…

In the southern part of the battlefield, the mighty Greta Fortress still stands among the mountains, and in front of the fortress, the "storm" that shocked everyone was finally over.

Audris and Lorraine stood on the observation platform of the fortress. They looked at the water on the plain that was fading at an alarming speed, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

The heavy rain and the billowing waves surging on the plain were still deeply imprinted in their minds.

At the nearest time, the boundary of that piece of "water world" was even more than ten meters away from the wall of Greta Fortress. Odris saw a wall of water rising on the ground, but the boundary of the water wall was as sharp as a knife. It was cut neatly, and until the end of the battle, the outer wall of Greta Fortress remained dry.

"...It's a terrible power." After a long silence, Lorraine finally whispered.

"It is said that they were once a civilization capable of traveling in the sea of ​​stars. It was only because of an accident that they fell on our backward planet," Odris sighed softly. "Fortunately, the Cecil Empire tried to change this ethnic group. Became friends."

Lorraine nodded, then looked back at the open space behind the observation deck, where several Krakens were laughing and chattering, looking careless.

The young prince hesitated and said, "These ladies..."

"Entertain them well, and give them to them when General Byron and General Siren come over," Odris said in a deep voice, and then involuntarily glanced at the place covered by the "storm" just now. Recalling the scene of a few sea monsters falling from the sky on the towers and flagpoles of the castle not long ago, the human king's expression became a little weird, "How can this be crooked..."

He didn't feel embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence:

The upper and lower limits of this race are really unfathomable...
