Chapter 387 Magic Enemy
The sudden appearance of the magic barrier also stopped the night elf troops. Looking at the holy imperial capital covered by the hemispherical magic barrier, Illidan was also a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the Holy Lion Empire had such a means. Among the human countries that they had attacked before, the night elves had never found such a huge magic barrier that could be used as a city defense system. As an empire with a long heritage, it really still has a lot of trump cards.
Tentatively, Illidan let the glaive throwers and mountain giants launch two rounds of attacks, and he discovered the cleverness of this magic barrier.
The magic barrier itself looks very thin and the light is very dim. But when the attack of the glaive throwers or mountain giants touches the barrier, the place being attacked suddenly becomes bright and thick, easily blocking the attack.
It should be easy, this magic barrier is not a building, and the siege mode attack of the glaive throwers and mountain giants cannot cause damage bonus, so it is naturally difficult to destroy this barrier.
Next, Illidan ordered archers, hippogryph riders and storm crows to attack from various positions and even directly above the Holy Imperial City, but none of them worked. It seems that this magic barrier is an all-round defense. For a while, the night elves seemed to have no way to deal with this magic barrier.
The sudden appearance of the magic barrier not only surprised the night elves, but also the people in the Holy Imperial City reacted more violently. The nobles and wealthy businessmen who originally thought they were doomed and even gave up fighting and waiting to die in the anti-antigen field, all recovered excitedly and showed a smile of surviving the disaster.
Everywhere in the imperial city, there were discussions about the magic barrier.
"Haha, the empire actually has such a method!"
"It's safe now!"
"Look at the attacks of those elves, they can't break the barrier at all!"
The defensive power displayed by the magic barrier gave people in the Holy Imperial City a great sense of security. When the Holy Emperor in the palace saw that the attacks of the night elves fell on the magic barrier and could not penetrate the barrier, he also showed a satisfied smile.
This magic barrier based on the mage towers in various parts of the imperial capital is one of the last trump cards of the Holy Lion Empire. The mages are divided into two groups to maintain the barrier in rotation. As long as the energy can hold up, this highly defensive magic barrier can exist for a long time.
Even if the magic power consumption is aggravated by a large number of attacks, there are still replacement mages to provide magic power, which is enough to keep the Holy Imperial Capital safe for a while.
And what the Holy Imperial Capital needs now is just temporary peace. When the news of the invasion of the Dark Night Empire appeared in the heart of the empire was received, the Holy Emperor had already ordered the army still at Inno Pass to return through magic transmission. Under the rapid march, some troops can rush back to rescue in three days at most.
This tortoise shell on the Holy Imperial Capital really made the night elves a little depressed. Glaive throwers, mountain giants and other troops dedicated to sieges cannot achieve the desired effect under this kind of magic defense method.
Finally, Illidan gritted his teeth and decided to let the elven dragons fight.
Although it is not appropriate to expose too much of the strength of the night elves in the battle with the Holy Lion Empire, the elven dragons had already fought in the battle with the Severn Kingdom, so it is nothing to show off again now. After all, getting the Heart of Light is the most important thing.
One thousand elven dragons flew out from the night elves' formation. The claws of the two hundred elite elven dragons in the lead were each holding a space ring. These space rings contained the supplies that the night elves had looted from the Holy Lion Empire this time.
However, Illidan did not let the elven dragons appear now to show off that he had robbed the Holy Lion Empire and tried to anger the people in the Holy Imperial Capital to death and win without fighting. After the elven dragon troops went out, half of them quickly turned into balls of light - they used the magic flash skill.
When the elven dragons turned on the magic flash, they could make nearby units using skills suffer damage proportional to the magic power released by themselves, which was reflected in reality as the deepening magic backlash. The duration of this skill is shorter than the cooldown time, so Illidan divided the elven dragon troops into two parts to keep the magic shining.
Just when the 100 elite elven dragons and 400 elite elven dragons started the magic shining, the magicians in the Holy Imperial City who were outputting magic to maintain the magic barrier felt strange changes in their bodies.
The magic power that was originally wielded by the arm seemed to no longer belong to them, and began to run around in the body to cause damage. In this case, the magic power that was originally output steadily to maintain the magic barrier naturally became intermittent.
A large number of magic output points became unstable, and the situation reflected on the magic shield was that the magic barrier, which originally looked thin but had a very clear outline, began to become bright and dark, and gradually turned to illusion.
The Holy Emperor, who was smiling with satisfaction, was originally ready to go back to the palace to rest, but his face changed instantly when he saw this scene. What on earth is going on? Why did the last barrier of the Holy Imperial City suddenly change like this? Did the magic towers everywhere encounter attacks?
Looking at the flickering magic barrier in the sky with worry, the Holy Emperor had the same thought again. Should he alert the ancestor? Never mind, let's talk about it at the last step. Even if there is no magic barrier, the strong men in the imperial capital are not vegetarians!
At this time, the magicians who were transmitting magic power in the magic towers in various parts of the Holy Imperial Capital, except for the big magicians above the Yunxiao level who could barely suppress the magic power that was backfiring in their bodies, all other low-level magicians had cut off the magic power transmission and groaned in pain.
Some magicians who hesitated for a while were directly affected by the magic flash, and their whole bodies were blown up by the rioting magic power in their bodies, which made the other magicians around them extremely scared.
Fortunately, only half of the magicians were maintaining the magic barrier before. When those magicians with resting magic power in their bodies were withdrawn, the magicians who were originally resting immediately took over. At this time, the magic barrier was stable again.
However, everyone was only happy for a moment. When the rotating magicians who started to transmit magic power released magic power, the originally calm magic power in their bodies began to riot.
As a last resort, after some magicians exploded and died, all the magicians in the magic towers stopped transmitting magic power. As magicians with wisdom beyond ordinary people, they soon discovered that as long as they did not release magic power, there would be no tragedy of magic power going out of control and exploding.
However, in this way, the magic barrier protecting the Holy Imperial City shattered with a "pop" sound and became invisible after the magic power was no longer supplied.
The people in the Imperial City who had cheered at the moment when the magic barrier was restored to stability suddenly became quiet again, staring at the sky with dead fish eyes, hoping that the magic barrier would appear again.
However, this time, their hopes were doomed to be shattered. Although the magic barrier of the Holy Imperial City was successfully disintegrated from the source, Illidan did not stop the elven dragon troops from casting magic flashes.
Who knows what the magic barrier of the Holy Imperial City is like? If the barrier appears again after the magic flash stops, wouldn't it be troublesome? Moreover, as long as the elven dragons keep working in two shifts to maintain the magic flash, most of the magicians in the Holy Imperial City are equivalent to being useless.
Only those powerful great magicians can barely suppress the magic power in their bodies. But when casting magic, it will also receive some corresponding damage. It must be said that the elf dragon is really the mortal enemy of magic! A large number of elf dragons can even form an area similar to the forbidden magic field.
Thinking of this, Yu Fei had a flash of inspiration. Forbidden magic field? Yes! If a large number of elf dragons are allowed to maintain the state of magic shining in the future war, then the annoying magic transmission will not be able to be sent out?
Magic transmission also requires magic guidance, and it is even a more complicated method. If it is used within the range of magic shining, the size of the backlash is not mentioned, and the transmission will definitely not be sent out. It seems that the role of the elf dragon is really not small!
