The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 836 Backhand
  The outer city of Vergoil was shrouded in a sea of ​​fire, dyeing most of the sky red. Even from a place hundreds of miles away, Ye Neng could clearly see the blood-red fire in the direction of Vergoux City in the night.

In the inner city in the sea of ​​​​fire, a mythical shield blocked the sky full of flames. A large amount of energy was consumed in the flames, but for a trading city, the most indispensable thing is various gems and magic materials. Waiting for the source of energy, the Centaur army completely gave up attacking it after covering the entire Mystic Sky with endless flames.

Through the myth-locked shield, the human commander stood on the city wall with 30,000 human troops, watching helplessly as the familiar buildings and buildings disappeared into the sea of ​​fire. Countless relatives perished. Their faces were all covered with tears, and their eyes showed despair. Hate.

"woooooo"

Some people cried quietly. Although they were protected by the mysterious locks in the inner city, they did not have to worry about being massacred in a short period of time, but many of their relatives were not so lucky and could not be placed in the inner city. In the end, they were plundered by the centaurs. The iron hooves trampled and slaughtered one by one, and finally became a handful of firewood in the sea of ​​fire.

The centaur army ignited the entire city, leaving no one behind. The soldiers did not know how many ordinary people they killed with their guns that night. From the excitement and excitement at the beginning to the numbness and machinery later, it should have been worth it. People were so proud of their siege achievements, but when the city was completely destroyed by fire, not many people were excited about it.

"Blow the trumpet!!"

"The whole army is assembled and ready to evacuate!!"

A flash of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon, and daytime was about to come. Looking at the mysterious inner city shield in the center of the flames that looked like a paradise, he issued the next command in a deep voice.

There are still tens of thousands of remaining human troops in the inner city mystery lock, which already contains more than half of the wealth of the entire trading city. If it can be broken through, the harvest may not be smaller than that of Newins King City that was previously broken into the wilderness.

But such an attractive target was not taken seriously by the commanders of the Centaur army, even if from a realistic perspective, the possibility of them taking over this inner city was not low.

Because the goal pursued by Ahmad and his army is more valuable and meaningful to their Centaur Grassland. If it is just for the so-called extraneous wealth, the senior rulers of the Three Centaur Kings Court are not greedy enough to let themselves More than 200,000 tribal elites came to the hinterland of mankind to die.

A blood-red light pillar soared into the sky and fell into the dense dark clouds formed by the incomplete combustion of the plume of smoke. I don’t know when a familiar obsidian pillar appeared outside the city of Vergoh, as well as the matching sacrifices. tower.

Countless human corpses were thrown into the slowly rotating altar, and were then swallowed by the invisible energy on the altar. A portal filled with gray-white mist opened in an open area chosen outside the city.

Groups of centaur cavalry passed through the fog one after another, and then lost their traces. When they reappeared, even they themselves were not sure where they were. The only thing they could be sure of was that they were far away from the city of Vergau, the place where the tragedy had just occurred. At least hundreds of miles away.

When the demons invaded, their priests built flesh altars all over Feynman's world to allow the demon army to cross-dimensionally invade Feynman's world. In the process of eradicating these evil god believers, the Wilderness Alliance and the temple even collected and seized numerous artifacts. Materials and blueprints for the Less Flesh Altar.

After so many years of research on the Flesh Altar, the scholars of the Temple of Nature finally effectively transformed the altar so that it can be effectively teleported within a certain range without specific coordinates, and the energy consumed by the teleportation is much less than The original altar.

In layman's terms, you only need to build a flesh and blood altar to open the teleportation gate, and then in a distant unknown area, a teleportation exit will be spontaneously generated, instead of like the original flesh and blood altar, which requires the cooperation of two altars to successfully open the teleportation.

Of course, this brings about many flaws. For example, this reduced version of the altar cannot be teleported across planes, the teleportation distance is greatly limited, and even the direction of teleportation is highly uncertain. In addition to being able to control the approximate teleportation direction, In addition, the specific location of the teleportation point cannot be controlled. The teleportation exit may be above a lake, or at the mouth of a cliff, etc.
  Originally, such a transformation should be considered a failure, but now it has become the best auxiliary weapon in the hands of the Centaur Legion.

The huge amount of corpses brought by the massacre allowed the Centaur Legion to not worry about the resources needed to open the teleportation gate. The inability to determine the teleportation location was no problem for the army. Anyway, they had no specific target, as long as the legion's movement trajectory could be prevented. prediction, then the probability of them surviving and acting is much higher.

When the sun rose in the sky, under the misty black clouds, the figures of the Centaur Legion had already disappeared from the city of Vergoh. When Ahmed and the last group of Centaur warriors disappeared into the teleportation fog, a strong wind directly swept them away. A lot of human corpses were still piled up on the altar and were blown away.

Qirong's incarnation then appeared and smashed against the altar. A pair of skillful hands pressed on the magic joint somewhere on the altar, and the entire running altar returned to calm, and the oscillating magic power gradually subsided.

After cleaning up the altar, Qirong threw a scroll casually, and blazing flames burned on the original site of the altar. Qirong transformed into a big hand and threw countless corpses into the flames, turning them into fuel for the flames.

After clearing away the traces, Qirong transformed into a man, closed his eyes and began to sense for a while. After finally determining the location of the Centaur army, his slender figure shot straight into the sky and quickly chased the Centaur army in the distance.

Until Qirong's incarnation left the city engulfed by flames, the last human army in the city had no way of noticing it. Although they had already noticed something strange at this time, for example, there was no longer the sound of humans wailing in the sea of ​​fire outside the city. There was no trace of the large-scale Centaur army coming or going.

For a moment, except for the crackling explosion of firewood in the sea of ​​​​fire, the outside of the city of Vergoah suddenly fell into a strange dead silence.

No one dared to make suggestions to the city lord and commanders, open the Mystery Shield and go out for reconnaissance. It was not until the sky became really bright that the scouts and strong men who came from distant cities cautiously entered the city to search. After seeing these humans, they revealed their identities. , the mysterious lock was reluctantly opened by the city lord.

But at this time, it was impossible to find out the traces and whereabouts of last night's attackers. It was as if these Centaur legions had turned into ghosts and disappeared without a trace.

Until one day later, Fas, another large-scale city more than 500 miles away from the ruins of Vergoah, was suddenly attacked again in the evening. The whole city was slaughtered by centaurs just like Vergoaux City. After the city was burned to the ground, Only then did the senior leaders of the Dawn Empire become really nervous.

The empire sent powerful legendary warriors and elite soldiers to quickly rush to the territory of Vergo and Fas City, but no trace of the Centaur army was found. Then two days later, another bad news came. Another city more than 600 miles away to the east was attacked late at night, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city were killed.

At this time, the Dawn Empire paid more attention to it, but it did not have much effect. Now the empire was empty of troops. Even the number of local strong men was somewhat stretched, and most of them were stationed in important towns in the huge empire.

Not to mention that they now know nothing about the invading enemy's intelligence and whereabouts. Even if the empire's senior officials have obtained first-hand information about the enemy at this time, they may not be able to create much resistance to this invading enemy in a short period of time.

In the eastern campaign against the Orc Empire, the Dawn Empire sent nearly half a million troops, as well as an equal number of civilians to transport baggage, and more than 20 strong human beings. Later, facing the invasion of the Wilderness Alliance, the Principality of Rose asked the Empire for help, and once again asked the Empire to mobilize the troops stationed in the country. Now the army of 500,000 has arrived at the capital of the Principality of Rose, and is fighting with the wilderness army occupying the city. Fighting fiercely.

There are still 500,000 to 600,000 troops left in the country, but they are stationed in major passes and cities in the southeast, northwest, and it is impossible to assemble them in a short while.

No matter how powerful the Dawn Empire is, the number of conventional troops it can mobilize is limited, especially since the Central Plains has been peaceful for a long time and has not had a large-scale civil war for many years. If human civilization had not planned to attack the Orc Empire, I am afraid that Dawn The empire's regular army would not be so large.

After all, maintaining a huge permanent army is a heavy burden for any country. Even an existence as powerful as the Dawn Empire has the same troubles.

Above the empire, there is the Church of the Lord's Faith, which is shrouded in invisible tentacles. The church seems to be a neutral existence, watching with cold eyes the royal family and the powerful people's rule and management of the empire, but in fact they are everywhere.

Even the taxes and corvee that the empire relied on to maintain its operations, the church, which was defined as the state religion, would take a large share of it.

Under the empire, there are six levels of nobles including Dukes, Princes and Bozinan. They hold the real power of the place. Whether it is tax collection or service, the empire needs to go through them in order to effectively complete it.

If you want these nobles to support the rule of the imperial royal family and if you want the empire to operate normally, the imperial royal family will naturally have to delegate a lot of power to these powerful people. Sometimes the royal family even has to marry into their own bloodline and use relationships such as in-laws to win over certain people. A powerful noble family.

Whether it is mobilizing soldiers from other cities or re-recruiting the army in a hurry, it requires the support of the church and nobles. The problems that arise are not something that can be accomplished with just a few orders, but require the emperor to summon the dignitaries to carry out the operation. Some discussion and compromise.

Bad news came one after another, igniting the flowers of war one after another in the vast territory of the Dawn Empire. However, the troops mobilized by the empire and the troops recruited from the powerful have not made much progress.

In the end, the empire had to send people to convey orders to the army of the Rose Principality in the north, asking them to retreat in large numbers and rush back first to eliminate hidden dangers in the empire before doing anything else.

If it weren't for the domestic army fighting against the Orc Empire in the east, which was too far away from the empire's mainland, I'm afraid the royal family of the Dawn Empire would have recalled this army. But even so, the Dawn Empire will probably not fulfill its original promise to reinforce the next batch of supplies and soldiers to the human coalition.

The remnant army in the wilderness in the inner city of Newins experienced a day of brutal fighting, and finally persisted. However, the number of soldiers in the army, which originally numbered less than 20,000, was now reduced by more than half, leaving only just over 9,000 remnants.

Allen once again stimulated the resonance state during the war, and he did not know how much power of faith was consumed, which helped the team of wilderness warriors withstand the siege of the human warriors.

But the price they paid was still not small. One of the members of the Ring of Thorns team, the legendary mid-level shaman Zhan Rui from the Argon lizard tribe, unfortunately died. In addition, Nigel and two other legendary strongmen were injured. , basically lost their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Now, except for the legendary knight who commanded the army in combat, there are only five people in the wilderness strong team who can still maintain their combat effectiveness.

And the opponents they had to face, the original strong men from the Empire of Dawn and the Principality of Rose combined, were still more than three times as many as Allen and his team.

"If the enemy does not launch an attack tonight, we will prepare to evacuate!"

Just when all the strong men were feeling depressed, Allen finally spoke out a piece of news that surprised everyone, except Jie He, the demigod leader of the Church of Nature, who looked a little unhappy.

But after the excitement, there was a bit of hesitation and embarrassment on everyone's faces. Now they were surrounded on all sides and at an absolute disadvantage. Unless they gave up the remaining wilderness warriors in the city and Allen took the lead in breaking out, Yug and the others would A strong person can basically not escape from being surrounded by enemies.

"If breaking out means giving up the soldiers in the city, then the two of us disagree!"

Although they knew that there would be no change in the outcome, the two commanders, Aaron and Aocong, quickly expressed their stance in a heavy and painful tone.

If before sending troops, the way Aaron and Aocong looked at the ordinary wilderness warriors under their command was more like cold numbers, then now they have been fighting with this group of brave warriors for a long time, going through life and death together, even if their hearts are as hard as stone, they are legendary and strong. It is inevitable that they will have some bonds with these warriors.

They didn't want to see such a group of wilderness warriors who fought bravely and obeyed orders end up being abandoned. At least the two of them still hoped to lead this group of warriors to fight to the last man before making a breakout plan.

Of course, Aaron and the others also knew that their ideas were too naive. When the wilderness warriors fought to the last man, they might not be able to escape.

But the attitude they should have and their own feelings must be expressed, otherwise they will leave some guilt in their hearts. After all, it is only the first time for the two of them to unite the army, and they have not been completely worn away by the cruel and ruthless war. Hot blooded.

"I never said I would give up on these heroic warriors!"

Just when Aaron and the others were filled with indignation, Allen continued without any wavering in his tone.

"That"

The faces of many strong men in the field changed, as if they didn't believe what Allen said, but thinking of Allen's behavior after getting along for so long, they couldn't help but express trust in what Allen said, so Most of them cast their eyes over curiously.
