The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 219 The Elf's [Lock]

【Mystic Lock】 is an exquisite magical technique, woven by legendary elven mages throughout history using advanced elven magical rituals.

Even in the apocalyptic war 2 years later, this magical barrier played a crucial role in the war against the outer gods' followers!

In the original history, humans and other races also learned the skill of the elves in weaving the "Magic Lock," and generation after generation of spellcasters continuously improved and optimized it.

The [Maze Lock] of that time was far superior in function and strength to that of this era.

In many worlds, in magically advanced human and elven kingdoms, the [Lock] guards the capitals of magical empires, the sacred lands of elves, and key cities.

These sheltered cities were the last to fall, facing the Mind Flayers and Starchild fleets of the starry sky, the undead army of the Outer God who symbolized the end of death, the sorcerers who worshipped the starry sky, and the deformed monsters such as benthic fish and beholders corrupted by distant lands.

Elion envisioned a scenario where, during the apocalyptic war, the world's nations possessed a sufficiently high coverage of [Melch Chains], linking numerous [Melch Chains] together to create a [Melch Chain Network] covering the entire continent, or even the entire planet…

Even an ordinary person who is not a professional can mobilize the power of the [Magic Lock] to create powerful magical effects when any location is attacked!
Therefore, these mortal kingdoms are capable of resisting the legions of distant lands for a considerable period of time.

However, there is a huge problem in implementing this plan.

The cost of weaving the [Maze Lock] is too high.

Although humans and other races can also master this skill, non-elven races cannot borrow the power of the divine realm of Avandor like the high magic of the elves. They must find other sources of magic as their core, making the cost of creating the [Magic Lock] much higher.

The number of [Locks of the Enchanted Realm] that Avando could maintain by relying solely on the small amount of divine power that naturally dissipated was not much.

Unless there is a way to drastically reduce the cost of the [Maze Lock], creating a [Maze Lock] covering a continent or even a planet is just nonsense.

Of course, these are things we'll need to consider later.

As for Elion's short-term plans, they also involve the Elven [Lock].

According to Elian's plan, since the Elven Royal Court was willing to pay a price for Eldoron's aid, they could be asked to help Eldoron weave several [Mystery Locks]. These locks would have both military and civilian applications.

Of course, this is not about creating a "lock" for existing cities.

Rather, it's for the newly built floating city!
Unfortunately, Eldoron currently only has one floating city that has been passed down from a hundred years ago. Although it has been improved, it is filled with "shit mountain code". Faced with its growing national strength and the goal of expanding into new planes, it is no longer sufficient.

Elion plans to build more floating cities in the future if the opportunity arises.

A brand-new floating city combining Mind Flayer psychic technology, elemental binding technology, and the Elf [Magic Lock], along with various advanced magical technologies!
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Elion cast [Scholar's Touch], instantly reading the document in front of him in a few seconds:
"It seems that among the demon legions besieging Silvermoon City, the most threatening one is the legion of the Undying Lord Okus."

"This legion is composed of a large number of demons and undead creatures!"

"The number of demons and undead that have reached the high level is hard to estimate, but there are at least 500."

"The commander is an elite [Wolf-Serpent Demon] who once demonstrated mid-level legendary combat strength."

Elian's expression suddenly became more serious:

"Okus, one of the three giants of the Abyss, actually participated in this invasion?"

He began to understand why the Elven Kingdom was in such a dire situation.

Among the countless demon lords of the abyss, the mediocre and nameless are usually mid-level legends. Well-known demon lords such as Koschitch and Buffetment are mostly high-level legends.

The three who stand at the pinnacle of all demon lords possess power comparable to weaker true gods!

These three most powerful demon lords, known to mortals as the Three Giants of the Abyss, are Demogorgon the Demon Prince, Okus the Undying Lord, and Grazt the Dark Lord.

Elion knew that in the original history, these three giants of the Abyss did not participate in this Abyss invasion.

But now, as history has changed at some unknown point, the scale of the Abyss invasion has grown even larger, and the Undying Lord Okus has also gotten involved...

"Fortunately, according to intelligence, the undead and demon legions sent to the material plane by Okus are not the main force, but only a peripheral legion."

Elian was secretly relieved.

"If Okus had deployed his main forces, the Elven Royal Court would probably have ceased to exist long ago..."

As the "Immortal Lord," Okus is renowned for his military prowess!

"The only saving grace is that those evil gods dwelling in the abyss don't seem to have made a move yet..."

After putting away the documents he had, Elion turned to the Moon Elf Queen Antinoya beside him and said:

"The demon army outside the city will certainly not have anticipated my arrival." "Tonight, I will launch a surprise attack on the demon lord Okus's legion."

Antinoya said with a hint of worry:
"Do you need me and other legends to assist you?"

Elian shook his head:

"There's no need. You are responsible for guarding the city."

After a long standoff, those intelligent high demons had a basic understanding of the legendary combat power guarding the city.

If multiple legendary elves suddenly appear outside, it means the city's defenses are weak, making it an opportune moment to infiltrate.

El-Erian, however, was different; he was an outsider.

It was an unexpected variable for the devil.

"Be careful, King of Men."

"The army of the Immortal Lord is not easy to deal with."

Antinoya kindly reminded her.

This abyssal legion belonging to Orcus is incredibly powerful, its combat strength comparable to the entire "Whispers of the Moon" royal family. Even mid-level legendary figures could perish at any moment if surrounded by the demon army!
Seymour, standing nearby, also expressed his concern:

“Yes, Your Majesty Elion. It is far too dangerous for you to venture alone into the heart of the demon army.”

"How about I bring a few more people with me and go with you?"

Even Seymour knew that if Eldoran, the monarch of Eldor, were to suffer any mishap while aiding the Elven court, it would be a serious diplomatic incident!
“Don’t worry. I know how to deal with the forces of the Undying Lord Okus,” Elion laughed. “Bringing too many people would make it harder to retreat.”

This will be the first real battle for the divine artifact [Sun Armor] after it has been forged!
After Elian finished speaking, he walked towards Ratul, the Balor Lord, who was cowering in the corner.
"Next, let's discuss tonight's battle plan."

Latour panicked:
"Wait, just us? Going to raid the legion of [Undying Lord] Okus?"

Within the abyss, he had heard countless times the formidable name of this "Undying Lord".

That was one of the most powerful demon lords in the entire Abyss, standing at the pinnacle above countless demon lords, a being comparable to a god.

In the past, this was someone he would never have dared to provoke!

Elijah completely ignored Latour's feelings and began to tell his story:
"Our plan is as follows..."

As the humans ahead explained their battle plan in detail, a strange thought briefly popped into Latour's mind—

Following this "master," the illustrious achievements he can create may far exceed the limits he could originally reach!

Although, for him, such an achievement is something he wouldn't mind not having...

This will be the second battle of the great expedition of the material plane by the Balrog Lord Ratul!
……

Twilight Quadruple.

Night falls.

Darkness enveloped the entire land, but Silvermoon City, besieged by demons, still radiated the bright moonlight, like the only shining silver moon in the starless night.

As beings from another world, embodying the concepts of chaos and evil, demons need no sleep and continue to eye this city with predatory intent.

In the darkness, the demon army launched wave after wave of small-scale attacks, but all were successfully thwarted by the elven soldiers defending the city.

"Resist tenaciously!"

"It's only a matter of time before this city falls."

"The thought of the undead army transformed from moon elves when the city falls is exhilarating!"

A tall, ferocious-looking demon gazed at the city shrouded in silvery-white light and snorted coldly.

This enormous demon has a huge wolf's head and a snake's head with venomous fangs, and it wields a massive axe that is exaggerated in size and inlaid with gems.

——【Wolf-Snake Demon】!
