Chapter 309 6.57 The Strength of the Illuminati

Ten days later, Stonehelm Fortress.

"The situation we are facing now is this."

The fortress is still filled with a faint mist, but after ten days, most of the surviving Viking warriors have become accustomed to groping for survival in the mist.

After sunrise, noon is the time when the fog is the thinnest. During this short period of time, Loki summoned his subordinates in the meeting hall of Stonehelm Fortress.

Everyone sat together, and in the middle was a huge papyrus.

"12 days ago, when we just entered Stonehelm Fortress, this octopus man who can summon fog appeared." Loki pointed to the outer perimeter of the castle, a large octopus standing upright.

"Through the recent battles, I found that this giant octopus that can hide in the fog at any time, although its appearance is intimidating, is not a big problem in terms of strength."

"The difficulty of this thing is that it can appear and disappear in the thick fog, but after dealing with it for a few days

It is undeniable that all the white monsters that appear in the fog are terribly weak!"

The several commanders who were present nodded involuntarily. 10 days ago, after they got separated in the thick fog, Loki turned back and rushed in the vast fog for two days before finding all the lost companions.

Almost all the Vikings were injured, but at least 80% of the wounds came from the self-killing caused by blindness, and the remaining 20% ​​were caused by those white monsters that seemed terrifying but were actually quite weak.

After the initial panic ended, Loki began to organize people to enter the fog in batches to hunt monsters. In the mist, he discovered an interesting phenomenon - just as the blood mist illusion would "melt" human corpses, the white monsters that fell in the mist would also dissipate in the thick fog like ice cubes under the sun, and turn into nutrients for the thick fog again.

In recent days, they have summed up new experience. As long as the monsters in the monsters are killed, the Viking warriors will drag them back to the Stone Helm Fortress, then open the bloody stone statue and throw the corpses of the monsters into the "Water City"!

After repeating for a few days, the white thick fog that could not decompose the "nutrients" began to become thinner rapidly to the naked eye, and even many times could not cover the slender figure of the "Mist Caller" who was five meters tall.

Every time they saw this strange god appearing from the mist, the Viking pirates raised their axes and roared at him, scaring him so much that he could only flee immediately.

After 10 days, no one regarded this thing as a threat.

The real threat lies in the two "new gods" that appeared out of thin air.

One is a black monster with two horns on its head, holding a giant sickle, and shaped like a demon.

The other one just appeared yesterday, and it was three undead knights riding on skeleton war horses.

"According to my observation, these three things were not summoned by Ecbert."

"First of all, after approaching Wessex's troops, they will not stop but launch indiscriminate attacks. These monsters hate all humans and will not treat them as equal holy spirits.

To put it another way, if this group of terrifying things is really controlled by Ecbert. He does not have a Wessex now. He has already unified the seven countries of England, and at this time, he may be able to compete with the powerful France.

Therefore, these things are likely to be summoned by another force.

And this force is most likely the "Illuminati"! "

Duke Moklash and Duke Phoenix, who followed Loki, had entered Asgard. They saw the lizard man Salivan transform into a light giant with their own eyes, so they naturally understood the power of this group of things.

What's more terrifying is that there are not just a few lizard men, but a large group.

Loki blew up Leviathan, destroyed the obsidian pyramid, and then took the Asgard portal from the O'Sullivan family.

Lizardmen are not beasts without brains. With all the grudges added up, there are few opponents on the entire earth that are more troublesome to them than Loki.

And Loki also knows that under the circumstances of multiple punishments, the Illuminati would like to grind him to ashes!

After surviving and evolving on Earth for 200 million years, and even taming an Old One as a survival ark, it is naturally impossible to say that the "Illuminati" does not have a few tricks in their hands.

It is not surprising that they can find a few remaining Outer Gods. It's just that they chose to appear in the Kingdom of Wessex at this time, which really disrupted his plan.

Loki was surrounded by the three gods and the Wessex army.

"As shown in this picture, we are trapped in two layers of siege."

"The first layer is the thick fog and the three gods walking in it.

The second layer is the outer perimeter of the Stonehelm Fortress, where the Wessex army is close to 100,000!"

During the time trapped in the fortress, Loki did not sit and wait for death, he has been trying to break out.

But at this time, the Kingdom of Wessex, which had recovered from the initial panic, immediately broke out of the tighter siege than before. Ecbert used his superb negotiation skills, half coercion and half coercion, to make East Anglia and Saxon send reinforcements.

In addition, Ecbert also spent all the treasury and urgently purchased 300 rapid-fire crossbows from Tang merchants.

Unlike traditional bows and arrows that fired into the sky and exchanged gravitational potential energy for kinetic energy, this rapid-fire crossbow from the "Mohist School" was fired horizontally like the guns and cannons of later generations.

The crossbow can load 12 arrows at a time. Each crossbow arrow is 2 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms. It can be fired in as fast as 1 minute.

Each arrow has the ability to break the scales of a giant dragon within a distance of 300 meters.

This weapon was used by the lords to fight against the sword cultivators of the enemy camp during the "Anshi Rebellion" 50 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty fell into chaos and civil war. It is the most advanced mechanical technology of this era.

The sword cultivators can step on the flying swords in the air and fly at high speed.

In this case, the best way to destroy them is to use this range attack that can produce "barrage".

It is precisely because of the emergence of the rapid-fire bed crossbow that the fine workshop under the Mohist School produces 50 arrows a day and urgently equips all the troops of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang people began to crush the "Fire Knight Corps" and "Moa Knight Corps" of the Zoroastrianism, and they were able to survive this disaster that was enough to destroy the country.

You get what you pay for.

The weapons urgently transferred from France and Visigothia did indeed deliver their power. When Loki led the Viking troops to approach the Wessex line, a rain of steel swords covered their heads and faces, and even the mountain giants with bodies as hard as rocks could not resist.

In just one round of sword rain, nearly 10 giants fell in front of the Wessex line.
