Chapter 60 The Uneasy Legion Commander (please read more, please vote for me)

Standing on the deserted battlefield ground, Xinghan raised his head and looked into the sky.

Countless surrounding black shadows filled the entire sky.

Xinghan gradually figured out some of the rules of the "Dark Battlefield". The larger the size of these soul shadows, the stronger they were in life.

Soon, Xinghan discovered his target.

Among the many black shadows, there are two particularly huge ones.

Xinghan thought, and two huge black shadows cut through the sky like meteors and descended suddenly.

Different from the silence of the previous summons, the sound was deafening, as if the world was shaking at this moment.

The two figures quickly condensed into entities in front of Xinghan.

An old monkey clan and an ancient tree suddenly appeared in his sight.

The monkey clan has a thin body, sparse hair, wrinkles on the face, and deep eyes. Unfortunately, they no longer have the same look they had in life.

The ancient tree man is more than ten meters tall. The bark is covered with moss and vines, and the tree crown is like a huge umbrella canopy.

These were the two strongest men who died in the fortress, Manila, the high priest of the monkey tribe, and the Holy Tree Spirit of the Elf Empire.

Both of them have been included in the "Dark Battlefield".

There are two types of souls in the "Dark Battlefield". One is the "Manila High Priest", which is actively absorbed by the "Dark Emperor Blade". This kind of soul can move with the "Dark Emperor Blade".

There is also the "dead" who died in the surrounding environment, and their souls are mapped into the "dark battlefield". As long as Xinghan leaves this area with the "Dark Emperor Blade", these "dark warriors" cannot be summoned.

……

At this moment, it had been more than a day and a night since Xinghan sneaked into the Manila Fortress.

Outside the Manila Fortress, the 29th Army had already arrived.

The legion commander did not rush to attack, but ordered the army to camp ten kilometers away from the fortress.

One day ago, he noticed something strange in the Manila Fortress. A large number of orcs were searching in the dense forest, but he was not sure whether Xinghan and Liuli had successfully sneaked into the Manila Fortress.

He was waiting for a signal, a signal that Xinghan was ready, otherwise his 100,000 soldiers would rush into the battlefield and just hit the target with an egg.

However, the back and left side of Manila Fortress are surrounded by mountains, the right side is dense forest, and the open plain directly in front can accommodate an attack of 100,000 troops at its limit.

The Manila Fortress is like a giant mouth of the abyss, which has swallowed up 28 Elf Empire legions.

The commander of the 29th Army was an ambitious man, and he did not want to follow in the footsteps of the 28th Army before him.

He respects the Elf King, but he doesn't want to simply become a pawn in the Elf King's dominance.

To this end, he did not hesitate to use the secret line that the Elf King had sternly warned not to use easily if he was not more than 90% sure.

Under the orders of the legion commander, countless Elf Empire soldiers observed the movements of the Manila Fortress from all directions.

He was waiting for a signal. If there was no movement at the Manila Fortress within three days, it meant that his plan was likely to fail.

He will fight to the death here. I hope that the Elf King will not hold him responsible for using a secret line without authorization for the sake of his heroic sacrifice, so that his children and future generations can have a stable future.

Time passed little by little.

Although there was no large-scale confrontation between the two sides, the orcs continued to send troops to harass by taking advantage of the defensive location.

The soldiers under the legion commander couldn't hold themselves back, and repeatedly asked the legion commander to launch a general attack and fight to the death with the orc army!

The sun rose as usual on the third day, and the Manila Fortress was peaceful.

The legion commander picked up the refreshing tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, and stood up.

"Give me the order!"

The herald standing nearby shouted excitedly: "Here we are!"

"Army attack!"

"Yes!"

The herald left the legion commander's camp in a hurry.

In less than a minute, the Elf Empire army completed its assembly. Countless tall ancient tree men pushed catapults and other siege equipment, and under the cover of shield soldiers, they charged towards the Manila Fortress.

The Manila Fortress is different from ordinary cities. Its top is a completely enclosed four-story pyramid.

The first level, the bottom sewer, has no entrance or exit.

On the second floor, there is an archway three meters high and two meters wide every ten meters.

It was through these arches that the Orc army entered and exited the Manila Fortress.

If you want to break into the Manila Fortress, these arches are the only way to pass and are called "explosion passages."

The prerequisite for entering these arches is to reduce the health of Manila Fortress below 50%.

Yes, the Manila Fortress can be considered a living entity.

It has the attribute of life value.

Before its health drops to 50%, the controller of Manila Fortress can control the opening and closing of the "Explosion Channel" through the life crystal core.

The only ones that can cause huge damage to the Manila Fortress are catapults, artillery, and some owners of powerful long-range skills.

This is bound to be a difficult process, as the fortress itself has the ability to restore life.

There is also a cruel fact that cannot be escaped. The fortress's ability to restore life is achieved through sacrifice.

None of the soldiers of the Elven Empire knew this.

Every attack they make can be said to be a blow to their own compatriots.

In fact, even if they knew this, it would not change the current status quo, it would only make them hate the orc tribe even more.

The orcs quickly discovered the changes in the Elf Empire.

A steady stream of orc soldiers began to pour out of the "Explosion Channel".

This time it was the orcs' turn to defend.

The orc troops were divided into three groups. One group was close-combat soldiers. They jumped down from the Manila Fortress and fought on the plains with the Elf Empire army.

One group, mainly long-range soldiers, stayed near the "explosion channel" of the fortress, suppressing the elf empire army below with firepower, and trying their best to intercept some stones and artillery shells.

One group is mainly composed of rat people. They burrowed into the ground as soon as they landed. They repeated the same trick. Their main goal was to destroy the siege equipment of the Elf Empire.

After about an hour of fighting between the two armies, the army commander gradually realized that something was wrong.

The health of Manila Fortress can be judged from the color of its appearance.

When its health is full, its appearance will ooze a green color that represents life and vitality.

And when his health gradually decreases, the greenery will gradually be mixed with some yellowish color that represents withering.

Based on past experience, it would take at least three hours of full-force attack by an entire legion to reduce the health of the fortress below 90%.

But now, the pitted bark of the Manila Fortress has revealed an obvious hint of yellowness.

This discovery refreshed the legion commander's spirits.

Although I don’t know what Xinghan and Liuli did in the fortress.

However, there are various signs that Xinghan and the two men not only successfully infiltrated the Manila Fortress, but also achieved excellent results. The fortress's life recovery ability was limited.

He quickly ordered all legions to attack with all their might.

Although the soldiers of the Elf Empire didn't know what caused their legion commander's seizure, they were already hungry and thirsty after holding it in for three full days.

Such an order plays into their hands.

The orc army is miserable.

They didn't know why these elven empire legions came up to die like chicken blood.

Moreover, it seems that they have not received direct orders from the commander-in-chief for a long time.
