The sun is high

The waves surged, and the line between tide and land was blurred.

What sweeps under the sky is not only the sea water, but also the huge shadows mixed in the tide. They are like huge sharp carving knives, or like the wooden spoons used by children to dig out delicious food. Every time a huge wave sweeps across, it leaves shocking traces on the cliffs and coast.

A huge black celestial body hangs in the sky. It seems to be the eyeball of some huge creature, cold, deep but without any emotion.

The confrontation between the giant waves and the earth has been going on for an unknown length of time.

Sometimes, the cold seawater will easily defeat the mountains, and sometimes, new land will rise rapidly from the depths of the ocean, and the gods residing in the boundless water bodies will make terrible roars every moment, and The will of the earth appears tenacious and silent.

This is a war that seems to have no end at all.

The collapse of a mountain, the turbulence of the ground, and the retreat of the tide may mean the complete disappearance of a certain ethnic group or even a certain civilization. They cannot leave any traces in this world, because the materials that support these traces often It will be completely destroyed in an instant.

Architecture, language, writing, and the ethnic groups who created them cannot exist here for a long time.

In this day and age, remaining neutral is the stupidest option.

Because that means that the tribe will never be protected by a certain god, and there will be no way to thrive in a relatively safe place.

The terrifying huge waves once again hit a cliff near the sea. This time, the shadows hidden in the sea did not recede with the tide, but remained on the land. These figures were thick and covered with hair. The sea creatures with hard scales and twisting black tentacles all over their bodies began to search along the ground. Their speed was slow, but their advancement was extremely determined. Those twisting black tentacles continued to streak across the ground. , breaking through the soil that had become soft due to the erosion of the waves, lifting up the huge and solid rocks, and constantly hunting the land creatures hidden in the caves.

"boom!"

As if to cheer up their soldiers, the huge waves came again, so the ferocious-looking sea creatures vigorously threw the trophies they had just killed into the water, allowing them to be carried away by the raging tide. Come on, these are all sacrifices, nutrients that can please the gods and make them stronger.

"From the first sprout of life underwater to..."

The chaotic and disordered thoughts quietly receded amidst the roar of the waves, so Xiuge's consciousness woke up in a certain body. He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the influence of this bizarre and huge dream. However, this simple action caused his head to hit the wall of the cave.

There was no light in the cave, but in his eyes, everything here was extremely clear.

The body he controlled was extremely strange, so he couldn't help but look down at his body and then at his limbs.

It has gray-black hair covered with mud, a rickety figure, and slender limbs with sharp claws... It wears hard armor woven from a special kind of wood and vines, and there are still flashes of light in the gaps. Faint phosphorescence.

Among the sharp claws of this body, there is a dark green plant root, which is covered with complex patterns, and abundant vitality and strength are constantly beating and flowing in it.

Xiuge looked around in surprise, only to find that there were figures similar to himself in the hall.

In this hall, countless rats gathered.

They are dependents, soldiers, and ordinary earth creatures.

The sound of huge waves crashing on the cliff came again. After the violent vibration, a rickety figure dressed as a priest came to the high platform of the cave hall. It raised its paws and let out a series of sharp screams. Chirping, and when these sounds poured into Xiuge's ears, he naturally understood their meaning.

"Praise mother! Praise mother!"

The priest kept shouting. Under the gaze of countless green eyes, the old figure suddenly pulled out a dagger made of some kind of dark stone, and then it screamed and slit his throat. .

Blood flowed out, staining the rat's hair and soaking through the rough priest's robe.

As the blood spurted, a bright light gradually emerged from the ancient patterns painted on the walls of the huge cave, and the rats immediately screamed with excitement and joy. This emotion seemed to have been engraved into Their bodies, under the influence of this impulse, Xiuge couldn't help but shout together with his "similar people".

He saw that the dark yellow light continued to spread from the wall behind the high platform towards both sides of the cave. The ancient murals and patterns were all lit up, and an extremely huge image appeared in the cave.

"Mother! Praise Mother Earth!"

The rats cheered. Under the influence of excitement, their fur began to become hard and their claws became sharper. Each soldier seemed to have gained endless strength and became stronger and stronger.

So Shuge raised his head while panting.

He saw a huge four-legged figure, like a lizard or a huge mouse, but vaguely, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the curled horns on the top of the behemoth's head. Without the ability to think, there was no way to determine what it was, but there was a voice that kept repeating in his heart, constantly shouting, reminding him that this was the god he believed in, and this was the will of the land creatures.

The leaders' shouts came from the hall, and the soldiers here began to march along the passage in an orderly manner towards the outside world.

The sea water had flowed into the cave, and Xiuge felt that every time he took a step forward, he could feel the terrifying malice hidden in the cold and wet.

However, with the blessing of Mother Earth, every soldier here appears extremely brave and determined. They tear open their skin with their sharp claws, letting the taste of blood dilute the coldness brought by the sea water, and their green eyes Gradually changes towards scarlet.

Finally, Xiuge walked out of the dark cave with his "comrades". He came under the sky and stood on the cliff.

In front of you is the endless turbulent ocean, and above your head is the dark sun.

"..."

The magnificent sight in front of him restored Shuge's consciousness to a moment of clarity. At this moment, he finally realized the essence of this special dream - this was a real scene that existed in that lost era. The black celestial body hung forever in the sky, and the gods The family members are fighting each other, and what he is "acting" now is an ordinary pawn under the will of the "Earth Mother Goddess".

An ordinary rat that couldn't be more ordinary.

But now, where he is is the front line.

It is the front line in the battle between earth and ocean.

In another part of the mountain, the heavy stone door slowly opened. The animal tamers holding rattan whips and wearing pale bone helmets let out ear-piercing roars. The huge bodies hiding in the animal pens rushed out from the inside of the mountain. Under the command of the animal tamers, these huge war beasts with three thick tails and covered with tough hair, which were originally the "close relatives" of the soldiers, ran wildly and finally stopped beside the rat soldiers. Stepped down.

At this moment, Xiuge chose to follow the body's instinct. Like his other companions, he came to the three-tailed giant rat closest to him.

The giant rat turned its head slightly. It gently sniffed the scent of the soldiers beside it, and then slowly lowered its body.

So Xiuge grabbed the rough reins and climbed up.

Now, he knows what kind of soldier he is in this war.

Perhaps because he knew that he was in a dream, or perhaps because the "gift" from the distant time and space, the Mother Goddess of the Earth gave him infinite courage, Xiuge did not feel the slightest fear of the upcoming war. He just quietly Grabbing the reins, he rode on the body of the three-tailed giant rat and cast his gaze towards the horizon.

There, a huge "mountain" is slowly brewing.

It was getting closer and closer...it seemed to be only slightly lower than the mountains where the soldiers were.

Xiuge saw that on the slopes below the mountains, there were still many rats fighting with the evil sea beasts with black tentacles on their bodies. However, the next moment, huge waves like mountains rushed down, shaking. Amidst the roar of the earth, the gentle slope below the mountain peak was suddenly swallowed up by the sea water.

Xiuge quietly stared at everything in front of him. He felt an unprecedented shock. However, the body where his consciousness was located seemed to feel no fear at all. He quietly looked at the world submerged in sea water below, until some The figure slowly walked out.

The evil sea beasts covered in scales are still alive, but the rats that were fighting with them just now have long since disappeared.

Sharp shouts sounded among the mountains, which were the shouts of the races attached to the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Then the team that had been standing quietly on the mountain began to move forward slowly, Xiuge's body followed the three-tailed giant. The rat swayed back and forth as it advanced slowly, but after just a few breaths, as the giant rats in front began to accelerate, the ferocious war beast he was riding also began to run.

"The running rat is the chariot of the Mother Earth..."

At this moment, Xiuge finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

The three-tailed giant rats charging at full speed were like huge rocks rolling down the mountains. An invisible force spread throughout the mountains as they ran, so many small shadows poured out from all over the mountains, and the grass, Rocks, gaps... countless ordinary or extraordinary rats gathered into an endless deep wave with the wild shouts of the Earth Mother God's family members. Fear occupied the brains of these creatures, but the fear and reverence for the gods dominated the world. Their bodies...

Under the gaze of the black celestial body.

The families of the ocean and the earth collided together again.

…

Crisp sounds kept ringing in the dark corridor.

It was the sound of the pages of a magic book being torn out, folded, and fastened.

If Xiuge came to the corridor outside now, he would definitely find that less than half of the magic book he had just bought had been consumed. Of course, Wei Lin's own magic book was even more consumed.

Among the Legal Committee, the ratings of river valley level and lake level spellcasters are equivalent, but there is a huge difference between the two.

Spellcasters among Van En regard magic as flowing water. River valleys emphasize flow and scouring, while lakes focus more on accumulation and precipitation.

When rating mages, those spellcasters who emphasize actual combat, practicality and have a lot of experience in magic operations are more likely to obtain the River Valley rating. This type of spellcaster is very popular in the military and aristocratic circles. Krauts of the 5th Chasseur Regiment The mage is a typical example. A river valley level mage who is active on the battlefield and can work closely with the soldiers can bring extremely amazing benefits.

Lake-level spellcasters are more inclined to academic and magical research.

This type of spellcaster often does not put too much energy into the research of destructive magic. The magic they inscribe often places more emphasis on skills and functionality.

In the military system, lake-level spellcasters are often responsible for arranging protective rituals, formulating tactics, and strategic command, and occasionally provide some magical calibration support for crystal cannon positions.

Some lake-level scholars who specialize in alchemy and magic item research and the development of magic equipment will even reserve all their precious magic inscription space for auxiliary spells that can provide inspiration, ideas, and speed up calculations and thinking.

Although Wei Lin is not that extreme, she also has a similar bias when it comes to magic inscriptions.

She prefers magic that is clever and can provide convenience in emergency situations. The "Cold Pool" she created herself and was approved by the Legal Committee is a typical example.

However, when dealing with battles and potential threats, lake-level mages often use special methods that are difficult for river-level spellcasters to master.

For example, right now, there are four mage hands floating next to Weilin at the same time. They are very flexibly following Weilin's will, tearing off the pages with specific magic engraved on them, and arranging them in a special order. on the corridor wall.

Weilin held the magic book in one hand and held a high-quality crystal tightly in the other hand. Her magic power continued to draw out thin ice-blue magic threads one after another in the air as her thoughts turned. They were in the air. It floated slowly and quickly disappeared into the walls of the corridor, connecting some of the pages together.

After her careful calculations, these pages of magic books that have been arranged in advance will turn the five underground floors into a strong and special magic formation during the next impact. This will be her barrier against all subsequent impacts. …
