Under Gu Han's charge, this team that had been put together at the last minute rushed out of Yue Yang Fort unexpectedly smoothly … After leaving Yue Yang Fort, the entire terrain became more spacious. Gu Han's team could go wherever they wanted to go, and they didn't have to worry about running into a dead end.
The remaining Yuan Kou could no longer encircle Guhan's team. It could be said that as long as they made it out of the city gate, Guhan's team would have completely escaped from the crisis of death and could safely return to Yuzhang City.
Therefore, when everyone rushed out of the city gate that symbolized life and death, everyone let out a huge sigh of relief. Who would have thought that they, who had been starving and waiting for death in the shelter, could actually escape and return to Yuzhang City!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Han with gratitude. Because of him, they were able to live again. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Gu Han was their second parent!
Feeling the grateful gazes of the people around him, Guhan faintly felt a sense of enjoyment!
This feeling of being revered by others was really wonderful!
"Everyone, let's not waste any more time here. Let's hurry back to Yuzhang City!" Guhan said to the others after killing a few Yuan Kou's by his side.
In response, everyone agreed that Guhan's words made sense. It was better to return to Yuzhang City as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, when no one wanted to complicate matters, it often meant that it was time to complicate matters.
When the team was less than a kilometer away from Fort Yueyang, suddenly, a towering black tower in the distance attracted everyone's attention.
"What is that?" A sword wielder was the first to notice the tower and asked as he pointed at it.
"I don't know, I've never seen this thing before!"
Gui Yi also looked over. In his memory, there was no information about this tower … The others also tried to scan it with their personal terminals, but the results showed that this object needed to be connected to the Internet … but now that the entire Yuzhang City's Internet was blocked, how could they connect to the Internet?
Even Gu Han himself was stunned when he saw this black tower. He had no idea what this black tower was used for, but he was sure that this black tower definitely didn't exist in the past.
"This is the Lonely Tower!"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Huang said the tower's name … thanks to Guhan's Immortal-grade Medical Pod, Uncle Huang's legs had recovered. Otherwise, an ordinary Medical Pod would not have been able to heal Uncle Huang's broken legs.
Unfortunately, the Immortal-grade Medical Pod could not be used limitlessly. Ever since it had left the Medical Pod and entered Guhan's hands, it had been used many times, and the various potions inside were almost used up. By the time Uncle Huang had finished using them, the Medical Pod had already sent out an alarm. Before they could replenish their supplies, the Medical Pod could no longer deal with large injuries.
"Uncle Huang, do you know about this thing?" Guhan turned his head and asked Uncle Huang.
"I know a little …" Uncle Huang nodded. "In the information passed down by the Heaven Shrouding Family, the Lonely Tower is a magic tower used by the Temple of the West to block information. As long as this tower is here, other than the Temple of the West's specialized magic messages, most other information will be blocked. This includes the quantum signals that we humans use. They will also be blocked!"
"You mean to say that this is the magic tower that Yuan Kou used to block our communication with Yuzhang City?" Guhan raised his head and looked at the tower, which seemed to be made of obsidian.
"Yes, a few hundred years ago, when Yuzhang City was destroyed, the family head at that time followed the army to escape. On the way, he also encountered a tower like this. After it was destroyed, we restored our connection with Yanjing City. This is the tower that can block our quantum signals. There's no mistake!" Uncle Huang said with certainty.
"Then …" Guhan thought for a while, then said to the others, "Everyone, although I know that this might be dangerous, I hope that everyone can work with me to destroy this tower!
If we can restore Yuzhang City's communication with the outside world, I think it will be of great help to Yuzhang City! "
"But isn't this very dangerous?"
A swordsman said weakly. "I saw a lot of Yuan Kou stationed near the tower. We …"
"Hey, what are you afraid of? We just broke out of Fort Yue Yang. What's there to say about a small broken tower?"
A muscular man said disdainfully. "Comrade Guhan, you're right. Destroying this tower will be of great help to Yuzhang City. I will go with you to destroy that tower!"
"We really should destroy this tower. That way, we won't have to return to Yuzhang City. We'll be able to regain communication with Yuzhang City, and we'll be able to find out what's going on in Yuzhang City. Gu Han is right. We shouldn't just destroy this tower, we must!" Gui Yi added.
"That's right!
Let's go together! "
They had just broken through Fort Yue Yang effortlessly, so they were in high spirits. They all agreed with Guhan's suggestion and clamored to destroy the tower.
So, the whole team changed direction and began to advance towards the tower.
…
The ones guarding this lonely tower were not the magical beasts Yuan Kou in Fort Yue Yang, but a group of warriors in dazzling armor!
Guhan recognized them. They were the Einherjars of the Norse pantheon!
Other than the various gods and monsters, the Norse pantheon's main fighting force was their Einherjar system.
The Norse pantheon did not have a large number of Templar warriors as cannon fodder like the Greek pantheon.
Therefore, they were always at a disadvantage when fighting against the Greek pantheon.
Later, the Norse pantheon invented the Einherjar system. This system absorbed the souls of outstanding human warriors and erased all their memories, leaving only their fighting instincts.
Then, these processed souls were stuffed into the bodies that were catalyzed by God's blood, turning into Einherjars that had no self-awareness but could fight fearlessly!
This extremely cruel Einherjar system had once beaten the Templar system of the Greek pantheon to the ground. Later, because this method required a large number of humans to be slaughtered, all the sword bearers above Spirit Sword level in the eight base cities were forced to join forces and break into the Norse pantheon's divine kingdom, killing more than half of the Norse pantheon's gods. Among them, the longevity Jiandi directly killed the Norse pantheon's king, Odin. As a result, under the leadership of Loki, the remaining Norse pantheon had no choice but to rely on their former enemy, the Greek pantheon … It was a great irony.
Because of this, Loki's hatred for the longevity Jiandi and Yuzhang City was monstrous. After obtaining the Divine Spark of Creation, the first thing he wanted to do was to destroy Yuzhang City.
The ones guarding this tower were the remaining Einherjars. They were equivalent to Loki's direct subordinates. From this, one could see the importance of this tower. Otherwise, Loki would not have been willing to place his direct subordinates here.
There were about a hundred Einherjars guarding this tower. All of them were elites above the Ghost level. There were about thirty Ghost level Spirit Swordsmen, thirty Soul level Spirit Swordsmen, and ten Soul level Spirit Sorcerers.
These were the Ghost level and Soul level Yuan Kou equivalent to sword bearers. Above them, there were twenty Flood Dragon level Yuan Kou Spirit Swordsmen and about ten Dragon level Spirit Sorcerers. The most terrifying one was Yuan Kou, who was sitting at the bottom of the tower with a bow on his back. If Guhan was not mistaken, he should be one of the top twelve Einherjars, the Nether level Yuan Kou Spirit Archer Saint.
"Not good, we need to retreat immediately. This isn't something we can handle!"
Even Gui Yi, who was the highest leveled person in the team, couldn't help but shiver when he saw the Yuan Zhen defending this area. He immediately threw away his previous boldness and asked everyone to retreat … What kind of joke was this? Forget about the Heroic Spirit Sacred Archer, even a random Heroic Mage would be difficult for Gui Yi to deal with. Not to mention the Heroic Spirit Sacred Archer, there was still the Heroic Spirit Sacred Archer.
Seeing such a terrifying Yuan Kou guarding this place, Gui Yi didn't have the courage to fight anymore.
However, Gui Yi was also rejoicing in his heart. If these Yuan Kou weren't guarding this lonely tower, but inside Fort Yue Yang, then everyone would have died inside Fort Yue Yang.
"No, it's too late. The Spirit Archer Saint has already discovered us!"
Suddenly, Guhan appeared in front of Gui Yi and raised his Heavenly Sword in front of him. Then, Guhan flew back a few meters. Immediately after, an arrow fell to the ground, its feathers still trembling.
"This arrow was shot by the Spirit Archer Saint!"
Gui Yi let out a cry of surprise. To be able to shoot such a powerful arrow from such a chaotic distance, there was no doubt that it was the Spirit Archer Saint. Their position had already been exposed.
Sure enough, when Gui Yi looked at the lonely tower again, the Spirit Archer Saint had already stood up. The bowstring in his hand was fully drawn once again.
"Retreat! All of you, retreat!"
Guhan crawled up from the ground. At this time, the Einherjars had already reacted and began to uniformly charge towards Guhan's hiding place.
"It's too late!
We can't outrun them! "One of the Einherjars sighed helplessly.
"You guys leave … I'll block them!" Guhan gripped his Heavenly Sword and charged towards the charging Einherjars.
"Retreat!" This was the last thing Guhan said.
