Struggle in the Steam Age

Just when Nora was happily dragging a package full of spoils and headed towards Pine Tree Valley, she suddenly felt that the stars in the distant sky suddenly dimmed. Then a blood-red beam of light rose from the ground to the sky.

Following the appearance of the first blood-red beam of light piercing the sky, several more beams of light appeared between the sky and the earth. And those pillars of light formed a circle, making the rays of light merge into one, looking like a giant pillar.

Just as the pillar took shape, Nora felt a distinct confusion, and the power of death and evil emanated from the pillar. Then it enveloped the sky above the drop point and began to spread to the surroundings.

Immediately, an evil force enveloped the entire mountain area, like a cloud of haze, pressing down on the hearts of all the people on this land.

Is this—is there a god coming? As a creature with divine nature, Nora is particularly sensitive to this kind of power.

So when the piercing blood-red beam of light was basically formed, she immediately recognized what this force was, and at the same time subconsciously put on a certain state of vigilance.

In this state of extreme vigilance, Nora returned to Pine Tree Valley as quickly as possible. When she flew to the core area of ​​the Pine Tree Valley position, as expected, she saw many officers and extraordinary people in the headquarters all come out of the tents, and then all looked nervously at the coming of the blood-red beam of light. place.

Naturally, Lawrence was no exception in this situation. Nora quickly found the blood-colored beam of light that connected the earth and the sky in the distance with a telescope on a dirt slope at the entrance of the field hospital.

It seems that the power of the gods is coming. It may be because of the soul connection with Nora, or long-term contact with divine creatures like Nora. So at this time, Lawrence could clearly feel what the power contained in that blood-colored beam of light represented.

I think it's the lady from the Dark Elf that descended now. Nora flew to Lawrence's side and landed, untied the interspatial bag from Lawrence's waist without any notice, then stuffed the loot she had looted into it and Speak to him.

If I remember correctly, it should be very normal for the power of the gods to descend during this kind of civilization expedition.

However, according to past history, this kind of divine power often appears at the end of the civilization expedition, not the middle stage of the current war.

Lawrence explained to the little doll seriously. You have to know that in such a war, no matter which god launches the divine descent first, it will be at a disadvantage.

Many things in this world are not as soon as possible, such as the case of God's Descend during the Civilization Expedition. For those gods, the party who descended first will expose the power they are preparing to invest in the civilization expedition. In this case, other gods can easily make targeted preparations to attack.

Although every god who participated in this kind of war knows this, but for them, sometimes it is a helpless way to come earlier than other gods.

For example, when their own side is at an obvious disadvantage in battle or when they discover something important, they are even willing to surrender in advance at the cost of being killed by hostile gods to maintain the front line or obtain what they want .

And now the main god of the dark elves descended in advance probably because the war was too ugly to lose. Judging from the offensive tonight, Lawrence felt that the current situation should be caused by the group of all the wilderness races in this area. A large-scale attack organized as best as possible.

But judging from the telegrams received from Pine Valley and the surrounding key areas, this group of wilderness races should be very ugly.

At least according to the known news, the offensive launched by the wild race did not cause much damage to the civilized race except for destroying a few roads and destroying the temporary railroad tracks laid on them.

At least according to the telegrams Lawrence had just heard, not a single strategic point had been captured or destroyed in the attack.

On the contrary, the wilderness race led by the dark elves suffered heavy losses during the attack. Since the civilized race had made adequate preparations before the war, the wilderness paid a heavy price when attacking these fortified fortification areas:

The rushing tactics of the dark elves caused the corpses of the wilderness army to cover the entire offensive path from the jungle to the civilized race positions, but they still failed to break through any of the main lines of defense.

In this case, it is not incomprehensible for the gods of the wilderness race to descend in advance. It's just that Lawrence and most of the people didn't expect that the first person to perform the divine descent this time was actually the old Yin coin, the spider goddess Rose.

After all, according to historical records, He often chooses to shoot at a certain key point when everyone is doing their best in the end, instead of being the first to be dispatched and exposed to everyone's eyes like now.

You must know that there are many reasons why the main plane is the main plane. One of the important reasons is that the main plane has a very strong plane barrier, which isolates those gods and some powerful existences equivalent to gods from the plane. outside.

Therefore, if the gods want to do things directly on the main plane, apart from giving up most of their power to enter in the form of a saint, they can only enter by creating a clone through the divine descent technique.

However, no matter entering in the main body in the saint mode or descending to the main plane through the clone of the god descending technique, the actions of the gods are also greatly restricted. Among these restrictions, the most important one is that the power that any god can project into the main plane is limited.

In other words, the gods can create countless clones, but the total power of the clones is fixed. In other words, the power invested by the gods in the main plane is the same as that of ten clones.

If the gods invest in multiple clones, the power of each clone will become very low. It's even so low that even a silver-level transcendent can't beat it. In this case, unless it is some secret action, it is no different from giving away the head.

And now Rose, the spider goddess, made such a big noise, she obviously planned to devote all her strength to a battle, but now everyone didn't quite know what kind of tactics that lady planned to adopt in this situation.

Also because of this unknown, the huge movement in the distance made everyone who saw this scene show nervous expressions. Under everyone's nervous gaze, the blood-red beam of light slowly shrank and dissipated.

But at the same time, a large blood-red cloud gathered at the end of the beam of light connected to the sky, and then these clouds slowly rotated, and then formed a vortex in the air.

I can feel that the power in the vortex is increasing. Nora whispered to Lawrence. Even though they were more than ten kilometers away from each other, the little puppet clearly felt a slight change in the power in the vortex.

However, this power seems a little too pure, it doesn't feel like a clone projecting—

Just as Nora was speaking, the swirling vortex began to move.

It just made Lawrence feel that something was wrong. The direction of this vortex, which is located more than ten kilometers away from the side of a series of valleys occupied by civilized races, is neither the frontline area deepest into the mountains, nor the St. John's Fortress at the entrance. Instead, it went straight to the Pine Valley area in the middle.

I think this thing is coming towards us. After observing carefully for five or six minutes, Lawrence suddenly turned his head and said to Nora.

You're right. Nora, who also noticed this scene, shrugged and said. It seems that we are really one of the protagonists in this world, every time there is bad luck, we will be there.
