Chapter 1142: Reconnaissance Ahead
Li Shaoyang carefully looked at the city defense map on the wall, this map was drawn with the blood of the magic beasts, those magic beasts who drew the map were cursed by the wizard before they died, and there was a kind of soul power in the blood, so this city defense map looked like it was alive.
Greatsword Lori looked at him carefully: "What do you see?" ”
Li Shaoyang pondered: "Those black cracks, are they the spatial cracks of the dark forest?" ”
Giant Sword Lori nodded: "Those cracks all came out of the void, and this year's Dark Sacrifice is different from previous years, and there are especially many cracks." ”
Li Shaoyang shook his head: "This is strange, these cracks are opened in the direction of the east, why are the monsters coming towards the west?" ”
Giant Sword Lori tapped her fingers on the table: "Well, do you really not understand, or are you deliberately pretending to be stupid?" ”
Li Shaoyang immediately understood, his eyes were solemn: "So, someone deliberately drove the demonic beast over?" ”
Giant Sword Lori rubbed her fingers with the giant sword beside her: "It can't be said that it was deliberately driven, but because the demonic beasts kept appearing, they couldn't cope with it, so they drove these demonic beasts to the west, Storm City is the largest city in the western wind grassland, and the clansmen in and around it can feed those crack demonic beasts, so that the people of the dark forest will be safe." ”
To put it bluntly, the people of Storm City were taken as victims.
At this time, soldiers outside reported that the gargoyle had broken through the first layer of the wizarding circle.
Giant Sword Lori is still very calm: "Tell them, don't panic, it's just that the second wave of demonic beasts is coming, and there are more powerful ones behind, you can't dispatch the knights at this time, the mission of the knights is to protect the inner city." ”
The inner city of Storm City is where the nobles live, and the main duty of the Black Wind Knights is to protect them.
This is also the reason why the giant sword Lori built the command post directly in the outer city.
Li Shaoyang looked at the bland expression of this little Lori, and couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart, she was actually ready for a street fight.
This little Lori is going to use the outer city of Storm City as the last barrier.
Li Shaoyang has seen the architectural structure of this storm city, the buildings in the outer city are not only tall, but also very tight, and there are narrow alleys everywhere, if the monsters outside are attracted here, it is indeed easier to destroy.
But in this case, the entire people in the outer city of Storm City will be unlucky.
What does the life or death of the demons have to do with me? Li Shaoyang thought in his heart.
"We need to scout what's going on out there, and it's key in this place." Giant sword Lori fingers the eastern part of the city defense map, between a narrow river.
Li Shaoyang nodded: "It looks like there are mountains on both sides, if we can see the situation there clearly, we can arrange an elite team to attack monsters remotely from both sides of the mountain range, so that they panic, if the monsters are chaotic, it will greatly reduce the pressure on Storm City." ”
Giant Sword Lori's eyes flashed: "Yes, you can see more clearly than many people outside, they still want to close the city gate and defend the city." ”
Li Shaoyang smiled: "Unless you want to use the outer city as a battlefield!" ”
The corners of the giant sword Lori's mouth curled, looking extremely cute, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, the man in front of her was very interesting, and she even saw through her own thoughts.
She sat down at the command table, her hands on her cheeks, "Although you are a tourist in Storm City, I want to ask you to help guard the city, would you like to?" ”
Li Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Do I have a choice, now that the city is surrounded, everyone can only have a chance to survive if they work together." ”
Good! Giant Sword Lori immediately ordered: "Order the scout team to set off, and be sure to bring back accurate information before dark, otherwise we will be in danger." ”
Once it gets dark, the pressure on the city defense will be greater, and the abilities of many monsters at night will be strengthened.
The black-armored girl got up and went out to give orders without saying a word.
Li Shaoyang took the opportunity to say goodbye, and after he walked out of the tent, Thea and Baron Gordon were in a hurry.
Back at the makeshift inn, Baron Gordon nervously asked, "How is it, is the knight master capable of defending the city?" ”
Li Shaoyang shook his head: "Even if it is the Great Luo Jin Immortal of the Human Race, he is not absolutely sure, there will be more and more monsters outside, and his ability will become stronger and stronger, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken this time." ”
Baron Gordon's face turned pale, but Thea smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal that we will escape by ourselves." ”
Li Shaoyang glanced at her: "It's easy to escape, but after the loss of Storm City, go west and cross Griffon Mountain, which is the territory of the Gordon family, if the monster is raging, the last unlucky one is the Gordon family, and then the territory of our southwest county!" ”
That's the key.
Seeing the sad faces of the two, Li Shaoyang smiled: "What I just said is only the worst result, without me, the city will definitely not be saved, but now that I am here, things will be different." ”
Less than a stick of incense passed, and a mournful voice came from outside the city.
Li Shaoyang went out and flew to the platform, looking into the distance, the monsters were too dense, and the scout team that was sent out was discovered by the giant hook scorpion before they could get out of the range of the city.
The poisonous scorpion can sense the slightest ground vibration, and the long hook on its tail is even more sensitive, and it is a pity that the scout team obviously does not know the characteristics of this monster very well, and is ready to reconnoiter from the ground.
The scouts were wiped out, and each of them had a dozen poisonous scorpions crawling on them. Soon they were a pile of bones.
Then Li Shaoyang saw that the second scout team was ready, and it was going to carry out this suicidal reconnaissance operation!
That little Lori of the Black Wind Knights, the command method is really primitive and rude, there is no skill at all, if it is Li Shaoyang, he will definitely not send a scout team at this time, only need to send a master who is good at concealment, he can also detect intelligence, and the loss is smaller.
"We can't go on like this, it's a complete waste of time." Li Shaoyang walked directly to the command tent.
Now he was free to enter and leave the command tent, but when he entered, he saw a man in a gold-inlaid violet robe standing there, pointing his fingers: "Continue to send out scouts, time waits for no one." ”
Anger appeared in the eyes of the black-armored girl: "Lord Crassus, this is obviously a death, the target of the scout team is too big, and the individual combat ability is not good, at this time, it is obvious that the strong person needs to go out to investigate in person." ”
The man in the robe flicked his sleeves and was also furious: "You little guard, you actually talk to me like this, Xana, you should discipline your subordinates well." ”
Li Shaoyang stood at the entrance of the tent, and then he understood that there was a layman who was indiscriminately directing here, he silently took a few steps back, and heard the little Lori sitting on the chair inside say: "Lord Crassus, you can rest assured that you can go back, I will continue to act according to your instructions." ”
The clothes on Lord Crassus's body showed his status as an elder of Storm City, and he now stood there proudly: "I have the heavy responsibility of guarding the city, I must watch you here, you Black Wind Knights do things, I am very worried." ”
The giant sword Lori Shana and the black-armored girl both frowned, it was really a hindrance to have such an ignorant and arrogant guy here.
When Li Shaoyang saw this scene, he sneered in his heart, so he strode in, pretending to be panicked and shouted: "Commander, it's not good, a few terrible monsters have rushed in, just outside!" ”
The people in the tent were taken aback, and Li Shaoyang looked at the Lord Crassus again, and became more and more "panicked": "This noble lord, why are you here, those monsters are very powerful, you must get out of here quickly." ”
Lord Crassus, who was proud and proud just now, was now so frightened that his face turned white, and he hurriedly tied up his robe: "Since the monsters are here, I will immediately go back to the inner city to protect the city lord, here, this place will be handed over to the head of Xana." ”
As he spoke, he shouted, "Guard, guard!" Damn it, come over and protect me! ”
Lord Crassus retreated in panic, and Giant Sword Lori hurriedly asked, "Where is the monster?" ”
Li Shaoyang smiled faintly: "What kind of monster, I don't say that, how can that timid Lord Crassus leave." ”
Greatsword Lori showed a cute expression: "Wow, you're lying to us." ”
The girl in black armor also lowered her head and smiled secretly, and her impression of Li Shaoyang also became good.
"Lord Shana, we don't have time." Li Shaoyang looked at the sky: "I can't send those poor scouts anymore, I'm going to go out to investigate, the edge of the dark forest is at the river, and I know the location." ”
Commander Xana looked at him silently: "It's dangerous outside!" ”
Li Shaoyang smiled: "The city is broken, and I am also a dead end, wouldn't it be more dangerous when the time comes?" ”
Good! Xana took out a badge directly from under the table: "Wear this, the badge of the captain of the Black Wind Knights, if you can successfully come back, I will reward you." ”
Although the identity of the leader of the knight team is not very attractive to Li Shaoyang, with this, it will be much more convenient to do things in Storm City.
Li Shaoyang took the badge, which was carved with a black storm beast and a pair of winged wind dragon images.
He turned around and was about to go out.
"Wait, I'm going too!" The black-armored girl hurriedly said.
Xia Na glanced at her: "Your weapon has been damaged, and your strength has dropped too much, so it's better to be by my side." ”
The black-armored girl's face turned red: "No, I'm going." ”
Xia Na groaned, and Li Shaoyang frowned: "Her short sword was damaged by me, and I will repair it for you again when I come back." ”
The black-armored girl snorted and walked out directly, but she was very proud.
Xia Na jumped over from the table and looked at Li Shaoyang with big eyes: "Then it's hard for you, traveler, by the way, I don't know what your name is?" ”
"Just call me Lee." Li Shaoyang left this sentence, walked out of the tent, gestured to Thea standing on the platform from a distance, and flew out from the arrow tower on the city gate, the black-armored girl went out from the east, and as soon as she fell, she was hidden in a faint gray air.
Li Shaoyang was more direct, relying on the advantage of speed, protruding from the south gate, and came to a gravel area in the east of the city in an instant.
The black-armored girl weaves through the giant scorpion, as if she is playing her stealth tricks.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about it, it just uses a little bit of the attribute power of the earth element, relying on the refraction of light, causing visual invisibility.
Li Shaoyang looked at the girl's dexterous movements, and couldn't help but smile secretly, your technique of concealing your body is not bad against humans, but for those monsters...... Visual deception is useless, the vision of the giant scorpion is very bad, there is no need to deceive at all, they mainly rely on the protrusion at the joint and the sensitive tail to detect the enemy.
Sure enough, before the girl could take a few steps, she was surrounded by giant poisonous scorpions, and the scorpions skillfully erected their tails and aimed their spikes at the trajectory that the girl might be walking, locking the girl firmly in place.
