Blood Dragon

Chapter 340 Curious

It can be seen from the map that Essien is already close to the northern part of the border.

Grune is the northernmost country in the human world.The northern part of its land is a stretch of mountains that are extremely difficult to climb with human strength.The mountains also lack minerals, which prevents it from even becoming a Dwarf-inhabited kingdom.In short, this barren, treacherous and long mountainous area has become the natural frontier of human territory in the north.It prevented the pace of human expansion to the north, but at the same time, it also blocked the possibility of any enemy invasion from here.

According to the reports sent back by a small number of expedition teams, beyond the mountains is a stormy sea, mixed with countless pieces of ice, and there is no place for any intelligent creatures to live at all.

"He's heading north." Alyn said after pondering for a while.On the surface, he was stating a fact that anyone could judge, but in fact he raised doubts.

Essien is an ambitious guy, he may be a speculator, but he is not a fool.Why did he do this?

For a moment, the whole room fell silent.Essien's movements [vertex_point] novels can be judged, but his motives are really elusive.

"Speaking of which, Lord Alyn." A white-haired old man spoke. He is not an official of the palace, but a private staff member of Alyn - he is a scholar with a good reputation in the academic world. "I do remember one thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"100 years ago, Garunus, the sage of the wilderness, spent a lot of effort to attack the enemy army of the Northern Alliance from behind. He dug a road from these mountains..."

"Oh, what else?"

"Of course, although it is said to be 'digging', it is actually just a few key checkpoints. Most of this road is formed naturally. So although we got a road to sneak attack behind the enemy, Garuna Si didn't spend a lot of manpower and material resources. Only a sage like him can accomplish such a remarkable achievement... However, this road was not used in the end, because the enemy's rout speed on the frontal battlefield was faster than expected. In After the founding of King Mark Remiz, this matter was rarely mentioned. Relevant matters are only recorded in a few books."

"You mean..." Alyn looked at the national map of Gruney on the wall. "Is there a road in this mountainous area?"

"Yes. If the records in the book are correct." The old scholar stood up and came to the map.His finger drew a horizontal line on the map. "It's roughly a road that goes like this."

"The end of this road... leads to the northeast?"

"Yes, that's what it says in the books. It ends in the northeast... but the mountain road is worthless in commerce and trade, because it has no inhabitants along it. As I said, it is for It was built in a sneak attack on the enemy's rear. After it was built, it was forgotten."

"Roads in mountainous areas are always vulnerable to damage. A heavy rain may bury it... After all, it was 100 years ago." Some people questioned it.

"Ah, it's usually true, but there are always exceptions. According to the book, most of this road is formed naturally, and what Garunas did is to get through a very small number of checkpoints that cannot be passed. Since It's a natural formation, the way I see it...it doesn't change much in 100 years."

This explanation was so powerful that others dropped their objections.

"So Essien's goal is this road?" Ailin asked. "Okay, he's going along this road... But he's in the northeast region... Is he planning to participate in the war with the Chaos Legion?"

Judging from the route drawn by the old scholar just now, after Essien left the secret road in the mountains, the city of Nusteria was not far ahead.

There seems to be no other possibility for this problem.Because the Northeast region is the battlefield between Gruney and the Chaos Legion, Essien is going there, no doubt intending to join in.

"He was imprisoned by Chaos... Has he already become a Chaos believer?"

"Whether he is or not, it's too late." Someone shrugged. "Prime Minister, now I understand Essien's thoughts... It's a pity that people are not as good as God. The Chaos Legion has been defeated by General Aishuruffat, and no matter what Essien plans to do, it is already too late."

The atmosphere quickly relaxed.Regardless of whether Essien intends to defect to the Chaos Legion or intends to take credit for defeating the Chaos Legion, his movements are already too slow.In order to prevent others from knowing his actions, Essien deliberately blocked the news.This did make Falcon City confused about his actions for a while, but from another aspect, it also made him deaf and blind.At this moment, the Chaos Legion has been defeated, and it is the kind of complete destruction. It is meaningless for Essien to rush here.

It must be meaningful, and that meaning is self-inflicted humiliation.

……

The sound of the alarm gong resounded through the night sky.Accompanied by the sound of the gong was the shrill cry of the sentries.This cry is equally clear in the dark night.So the defenders quickly understood that it was the Chaos Legion that launched the attack.

The response speed of Newstria City is not slow.In just a short time, the person in charge of the left behind hurriedly got up from the bed and began to organize the troops.

It's a pity that although he reacted quickly, Newstria City is a big city, and there are only a thousand defenders in the city.This limited defender will inevitably be scattered in various positions in the city.This objective fact determines a tragic fact: by the time he gathers his troops, the day lily will be cold.

The Chaos Legion's assault troops over the wall and entered the city defeated the few soldiers on the city wall without any suspense, and opened the city gate.Then naturally, the main force of the Chaos Legion on standby outside the city rushed into the city.

The person in charge soon realized that the total number of Chaos Legions was also very small, only a few thousand people.This is obviously a defeated army that was defeated.In the past, this level of attack was no more serious than a light poke of a person's finger, but now the city of Neusteria is as empty as a piece of tofu, which can be pierced with a light poke.

Near the gate of the city, hundreds of corpses have already been lying here and there.

Most of them were scattered defenders trying to resist, and of course there were a few Chaos Warriors.For a big city like Neustria, such a battle scene is quite shabby, but no matter how shabby it is, the Bloodfang Lord has already won the victory.

At this moment, the resistance force of Newstria City has been destroyed by him.As he expected, once the weak southerners realized that the situation was not good, they immediately did what they do best - retreat.That's right, now the defenders in the city have retreated to the second city wall (as I said earlier, according to modern urban defense ideas, the city of Neustria is also divided into three walls), leaving the entire outer city to the intruders.

Lord Bloodfang stood a little further away, observing the second city wall defended by the southerners.This defense is not as difficult to deal with as the outer wall, but he also knows that if the opponent is prepared, it is impossible to capture the second city wall with this little force in his hands.If there is enough time, Lord Bloodfang is willing to try, but unfortunately, this is the enemy's rear area, and the enemy's army may rush back at any time.His time is really limited.

what a shame.The lord of Khorne watched with regret as he watched the second wall and the terrified defenders scurrying about on it.His ax was bloody again, but hunger still shone on the blade.

Lord Bloodfang was in a very good position. A dozen or so Chaos Warriors lay a dozen steps ahead of him.These are the results of Lord Bloodfang's previous attempts.The intruders were killed by a rain of bullets from above the city.

"My lord!" A subordinate came from behind. "We have located and secured the grain depot."

"How many?" Lord Bloodfang asked.

"A lot... a lot! We can eat whatever we want." The subordinate said eagerly.

"Send 300 people to guard there to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire." Lord Bloodfang ordered.He has given up the idea of ​​attacking the second city wall, and it is more appropriate to keep the current results.If any remaining enemies burn the warehouse, this battle may be in vain. "What about other places?"

"Mostly empty," the subordinate reported. "But over there," he pointed. "We blocked a group of enemies who wanted to escape."

"It's not over yet?" Lord Bloodfang couldn't believe it.According to the judgment of the battle at the gate of the city just now, there is no reason why his subordinates have not ended the battle for so long.

"The enemy's resistance is very tenacious." The subordinate reported. "Our four attacks were repelled."

"How many of them are there?" Lord Bloodfang felt a little curious.He had already planned to hand over the battle over there to his subordinates.

"Probably... dozens of people, no more than 100 people. But... they are very powerful, and there are a few very powerful people among them. All the soldiers we rushed in were knocked down."

"100 people?" A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Khorne lord again. "It's interesting, I'll go and see it too."

On the city wall, the chief executive of the court, Skadra, was tightly grasping the clothes of the person in charge.The old man looked extremely excited.

"Queen... Her Majesty is still outside! I order you, I order you to lead an army to attack immediately and rescue the queen!!"

No matter how agitated he was, two soldiers pulled him away from the man in charge.Everyone knew what kind of credit it would be to lead an army to rescue the queen at this time, but they also knew that if they did so, the possibility of their death would be a hundred times greater than the possibility of rescuing the queen.
