Design, experiment and manufacture in hell, and assemble in the human world. This is the fastest way to complete the construction of the magic array. However, only the magic array is not enough in this battle. Another protagonist is missing on the stage: the Terasque Monster.
Feiqi sent out the Knights of Hell, sent out the students of the Magic School, and used teleportation arrays to search in and outside the empire, searching in mountains, canyons, plains and forests, looking for traces of the Terrasque monster, but found nothing. The huge monster, like a hill, would constantly cause miniature earthquakes when walking, but could always hide. The first and second blood-colored meteor nights were like nights, once hidden in the sea and the other time disappeared on land.
If you can find the Terrasquie monster in advance, you can arrange it in advance and take action before it can threaten the targets within the empire. After the old man's persuasion, Feiqi re-evaluated the weight between "beating the giant beast in front of everyone to gain a lot of reputation" and "reducing the impact of the battle to the empire". He decided to focus on stability, reduce losses first, and then consider making profits. Now he wants to find a secluded person, or go to the territory of a potential opponent to fight Terrasquie, instead of demolishing Tawugang City back to a flat ground.
Terrasque disappeared, and no traces of other Second World monsters were seen. No one knew where they hid. This unusual calm gave Feichi a feeling of storm. After the dull depression, he might be a storm-like explosion. After fifteen days of search, Feichi stopped the reconnaissance operation and called back all the students of the Hell Knights and the Magic School. Only by retracting his fingers and clenching them into fists can he have more explosive power when swinging.
He summoned his commanders and think tanks together, and Feiqi took them to meet with Hydes to discuss how to deal with Terrasque. The sea monster Hydes was seriously injured in the last battle. Even though Feiqi mobilized sufficient food and medicine for it with the power of the country, it only recovered to 90%.
"I'll warn you the direction of the sea." Hydes lowered his head in front of Fitch, and his tone was cautious. "I haven't heard of Terrasquie from any marine creatures yet. I suspect it was not in the sea at all this time. I can assure you that Terrasquie's giant beast will not launch a successful raid from the water."
Feiqi looked at the scars on Hydes' body, bowed slightly, and said, "I hope the Terrasque monster will not come from the sea, because my magic circle cannot be arranged on the sea, and my navy is vulnerable in front of the monster. The sea can only depend on you. If it comes, you will find a way to lead it to the north of the city and get ashore from there. If possible, don't infuriate it. After it gets ashore, I will take over."
"When I was patrolling the coast, I saw the magic circle over there." Haiders said: "I know nothing about magic, but I firmly believe in one thing: the magic circle that students in the magic school can set up cannot have any impact on the Terasquin monster. Let me beat it and lead it to the depths of the sea!"
"The guys from the Second World came for me. Terrasquie is their best chance to defeat me. You can't lead it away." Feiqi shook his head and persuaded: "According to my plan, we should use magic instead of hand-to-hand combat to deal Terrasquie. If you do too much damage to it, it will cause it to be completely violent, and then I will not be able to control the situation."
"Okay, I'll follow your plan." Hydes nodded, turned back to his neck, and licked the scar on his belly.
Setting the magic circle in the north is the result of everyone's brainstorming. On the one hand, it is relatively open and easy to move around, and it is the direction closest to the workshop park. From the wide gap between the two hills in the north, you can dive into the imperial industrial base, and turn west from here, you can turn the magic school and the Hell Knights Camp. If you can break down these two places, you can rush to the palace from the side hillside, completely destroy the highest symbol of the emperor's power, and put the entire city and the country in fear.
It is not impossible to get from the south and west. After all, the Terasquin giant beast is like an invincible tank, and obstacles along the way can be broken and crossed. However, the south is a large urban area, and there are fortresses left by the aristocratic era. It is easy to arrange siege weapons, which may slow down the speed of the giant beast. There are continuous hills to the west, and it is necessary to surround a few more mountains to see the front of the palace, which will be very awkward. Moreover, judging from the arrangements of those people in the Second World, the north is also their first choice.
The giant beast trap array was set in the north, and Feiqi personally made bait, waiting for Terrasque to arrive. Heides who was swimming in the sea could see it, and the residents of Tawugang City on land would not miss it. In order to avoid rumors, Feiqi asked the intelligence minister Mathers to post an announcement, directly explaining that it was a defensive magic array used to resist the night of blood-colored meteors and monsters.
All the students of the Magic School, as well as the graduates in the working group, gathered together to build this magic circle day and night. Even the production of the Magic Workshop toy wand was stopped, and the Shani Lingcheng was constantly making rune boards to supply this construction. Everyone could see that the Empire had only been able to complete the construction of a magic circle with all its production capacity. Everyone couldn't help but have a question in their hearts: If...
"What if Terasquie came from other directions and just didn't go to the north of the city?"
Thinking of this question is one thing, and asking this question to Feich is another thing. Not everyone has the courage to question His Majesty the Emperor. Shani has no concerns in this regard at all. She found an occasion where the two of them were the only ones and asked: "Feich, when you said that you have a way to lead the Terrasque monster to the north of the city, your body language was very unconfident. Isn't it..."
"I should start building this magic circle early, and arrange it in key positions in all directions, which will be much better." Feiqi said: "The magic circle in the north of the city is absolutely not enough, and I am indeed not sure about seducing Terasqui."
Shani sighed and said sadly: "If you come from the south or the west, then many people will die in this battle, right?"
"If you can find the traces of the Terrasquie monster in advance, you can arrange for evacuation. I asked the working group to secretly prepare emergency food and medicine in several directions, all of which were bought from other places with high prices through smuggling and black markets." Feiqi said: "Only when Terrasquie appears can you evacuate in a targeted manner. I can't live a long way to go, and I will turn the entire Tawu Harbour into an empty city! What I worry most now is that Terrasquie suddenly appears."
"It's so big, why did it suddenly appear?"
"Dig the ground." Feiqi said: "When the second blood-colored meteor was hurt by your paralyzed vision, Terrasquie dug a big hole in the ground and left - but unfortunately the hole collapsed completely and could not be traced. If it was to come, it could be digging over the ground, but this was contrary to its nature. Terrasquie should have natural nature and vicious and aggressive personality, without strategic thinking. It suffered a loss from here. If it had not dealt with you at that time, then it would not come here again to cause trouble afterwards."
Shani understood: "So, if Terasque directly raided Tawugang City from underground, then it might be manipulated?"
Fitch nodded and said, "I have sent the fantasy snake Koktal to patrol the ground day and night to prevent raids from the ground. However, its speed is fixed, so it cannot be too far away from me, otherwise it will not be able to take care of all directions. Its patrol can only make me alert, but it is difficult to leave enough time to evacuate. This time the casualties may be very large, even greater than the last time."
"Greater than last time? This..." Shani couldn't figure it out. Last time Terrasque came from the sea, only Hydes could cause some trouble to it. This time Feich was present, and her combat effectiveness was far superior to Hydes, and she arranged a magic circle in advance. How could she suffer greater losses? She asked Feich for the answer, but failed to get it.
"One thing you do during this period is to show a feeling of being nervous and absent-minded, and it's best to become irritable and irritable, and it's okay to scold the servants." Feiqi said: "At the same time, you have the idea of ​​staying at the Shaqi Manor west for a while, and preparing the box, and want to do a long-distance trip."
"I can do it, but why is that?"
"Because I only have one magic circle." Feiqi gave her a headless answer.
There is only one magic circle, only one magic school, and only one Hell Knights. Perhaps in the eyes of other kings, it is already very powerful to have these three, but Feiqi's ambition is far more than that. His goal is a world plus a Creator God. The current empire is only very famous, but in fact it is just the size of a city-state, and it can mobilize too little power.
If Terrasquie can be solved, it will give the Empire a precious time to develop. Terrasquie is already the strongest monster. If you can defeat it, you can effectively stop the attacks of other monsters**. Even if there is a blood-colored meteor night, even if the second world loses its rationality and blind attack, this time's experience and ability can be used in subsequent battles. At least in terms of morale, the Empire will no longer be afraid.
If Terrasque could be resolved, then the reputation of the Revi Magic Empire in the entire Yongli Continent would be high enough. Anyone who is worried about the coming of the Blood Meteor Night will envy the Magic Empire's ability to stop war and defend. The word Empire is not favored in the Yongli Continent, especially the "Revi Empire". The memory it leaves for the world is backward and stubborn, and it is the history of being banned by the goddess. However, the essence of the country is the result of giving up part of its own interests when individuals want to avoid threats that they cannot cope with, and the result of more people forming a society with common will with more people. If Fitch can withstand the Blood Meteor and Terrasque, then he can represent a common will, and the empire can become a choice.
If it can be solved by Terrasque...
Victory can bring too many benefits, which can only show one thing: there are as many risks of failure. There is no need to repeat the others, just say one thing: the only way to deal with the Terasquin monster is the magic circle under construction. It is like using only one rope to lift a weight of a thousand pounds. Even if it is a magic rope, it is not safe!
So, it was natural that Feiqi strengthened the defense of the magic circle construction site in the north of the city. The Knights of Hell moved throughout, constructing fortifications near the magic circle, setting up cordons, and laying out patrol and reconnaissance posts. Since the city walls in front of the Terrasque monsters were of little significance, these fortifications were designed based on the standard of "shooting one shot and changing another place", and the hidden function was greater than attack. Besides, these buildings were mainly for defending against people from the Second World to make trouble. Before, three people could be sent to "wild dogs pee" in the city. Couldn't there be more for "self-destructive attacks"?
Heavy troops were placed in the north, west and south of the city to the Imperial Guard. This army inherited from the United Kingdom of the Hoya nobles, and lost most of the nobles and knights, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Currently, it is mainly dominated by the private soldiers of the Hall family in the past. Later, some families who chose to surrender and surrender under the offensive of Fitch had to give up their own private troops, and most of them were also absorbed by the Imperial Guard. This army, Fitch positioned it as a national defense army. When encountering a tough battle of attack, it was ranked behind His Majesty the Emperor and the Knights of Hell, and there was basically no chance of appearing. Facing the Terasque monster was probably the only opportunity to let them chew on tough bones.
On the sea to the east is the Imperial Navy, which has a simpler task: reconnaissance and evacuation. Building ships for the navy is a costly and long-term project, and the empire cannot spare any effort in this regard. Moreover, the empire's long-distance transportation can be solved by teleportation arrays, and the dependence on sea transportation is very low, which also leads to a significant decrease in the importance of the navy. If the Terasque monster comes from land this time, the ships from the port can help transport some citizens to hide in the sea, and the Hydes sea monsters will protect them. This is the only place where the Imperial Navy can help.
The construction site of the magic circle is brightly lit even in the middle of the night, and the firewood and oil paste used for lighting every day is a considerable expense. The porters who keep entering and leaving the construction site can bring out some news to the ears of the residents of Tawugang City. For example, the magicians are so tired that His Majesty the Emperor pours them medicine to keep working. For example, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the devil, the undead and the steel portraits, and used their characteristics to speed up the construction, but this will bring a blasphemy atmosphere and affect the lifespan of those workers.
No one believed many things, but the prices of materials related to magic soared, which is something everyone knows. His Majesty the Emperor has already written IOUs to some merchants. Although these IOUs can be redeemed in a few days, this is a sign after all: the power of the empire is used to the limit, and if it fails, it will be successful. Fortunately, during the entire construction period, the Knights of Hell were loyal to their duties, defeating three attempts to ignite, destroy and assassinate, and ensuring the smooth construction of the magic circle.
That day, Feiqi opened the magic circle, and the powerful space energy fluctuations spread in all directions like a storm. Everyone felt that their bodies were pulled from all directions by mysterious forces, and the scenery they could see at different degrees was distorted, misaligned, split and atomized. Even people who did not understand magic felt for the first time what the magic power fluctuation was. Fortunately, this phenomenon ended soon, everything became stable again, and everyone saw a huge cover appearing steadily over the magic circle.
"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has succeeded..." Everyone said so, but no one has 100% confidence.
The second magic circle began to be built in the west of the city, close to the palace, but the construction progress was five or six times slower than before. Perhaps the magicians reached the limit, or perhaps the treasury reached the limit. The latter is more likely because there are more and more IOUs. Everyone knows that the Empire has tried its best, so no one refuses to accept the IOUs.
Afterwards, the enemy came from the north, but not the Terrasque monster.
