The situation worsened, and news from the city announced that the Marquis of the Frontier had sent three bands of high-level adventurers with transcendents to enter the enemy-occupied territory and ...... There was no more, the three adventure groups completely disappeared in the enemy-occupied area, and the highest of the three adventure groups was a third-order warrior, but even these third-order warriors did not escape back, which is already very telling.

You must know that this is a single person, not a collective action of the army, and it is very likely that the army will fall into the enemy-occupied area, but the single third-order melee is extraordinary, unless it is encircled and hunted, or a higher-level transcendent person is tracked, it is extremely difficult to kill it, but in the end, even this third-order warrior is missing, which is already very terrifying.

The rich and powerful people who knew the news suddenly left a large number of people, and the rest were also planning to leave the border area in a short time, and the news from the inland capital of the Plant Alliance was that the alliance required the Border Legion and the Border Marquis to block the enemy's attack and protect the safety of the border area, as for the cry for help from the Border Legion and the Border Marquis, the military leadership of the Plant Alliance government was in chaos, even if it was the most optimistic estimate, it would take at least half a month to send reinforcements.

In fact, this is the norm of an alliance, after all, the alliance is not an empire, it is not a powerful unified racial regime, the alliance is a force united by multiple races, multiple races have their own demands, have their own circles of interests, and even have their own independent armies, not to mention wars, even the problems of people's livelihood in peacetime are their own hind legs, if you can quickly decide one thing, then it is really strange.

In fact, since the underworld camp appeared on the border of the elves to now, several months have passed, Hao was a little taken for granted at first, thinking that the underworld camp appeared, and it would immediately be besieged by the armies of the surrounding alliances, this thing has passed for several months, the siege has not been seen, the various alliances have not even completed the mobilization of troops, the borders are still in vain, at first glance it seems to be a time of peace, until this time the underworld camp began to move out to sweep the surrounding area, and the integration within the plant alliance has not yet been completed.

These are all information that Hao confirmed more than ten days after coming to the Plant Alliance, so the first thing he thought of was to retreat, to leave the Plant Alliance, and even leave the surrounding alliance of the Elven Empire, because he realized that after the Great War of Ten Thousand Races, except for the various empires in the Ten Thousand Races, the other alliances are all weak chickens, and the races in these alliances have long been neglected by peace, unless they experience the war and destruction of the Great War of All Races again, otherwise they will not know how serious the current situation is.

Hao couldn't and couldn't remind them that the only thing he could do was to follow the plan at the beginning.

"It's all set. Noldor came to Hao's room, and when he saw that Hao was carefully calculating something on a piece of paper, he knocked on the door and said to Hao.

Hao turned his head and nodded at Nuodo, he put away the paper in his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and gather the troops, and then go to the destination now, without further ado, I'm afraid of change." With that, he stood up and walked over to Noldor.

Noldor turned sideways to pass Hao, and he suddenly asked, "God, that vial you gave to all the soldiers earlier......"

Hao looked at Noldor and didn't speak for a while, and Noldor was silent, and after a long time, Noldor said: "Then I'll go and tell them to get ready, you have gathered there, let's set off together." ”

After Noldor left, Hao stood in place for a few more moments, and then he sighed and walked towards the clan dormitory.

(Sorry, I didn't have a choice, but don't worry, I have one of these too...... ）

Hao quickly trained the team, for the human race, he has always been trained according to militarized management, even the children and women in the clan, but the training level is lower than that of adult men, so even if all the humans add up to more than 1,200 people, and there are more than 800 adult men, this team has also been assembled in just twenty minutes, and most of the elves have already arrived at the playground, but Ai and An Yang have not yet arrived.

Hao's face was a little bad, but he didn't say anything, more than a thousand people stood quietly on the playground and waited, until more than twenty minutes later, Ai Yi and Anyang were late, Hao didn't say anything, just ordered the non-commissioned officers to command the army, escort the women, children and elves in the center, and then ride the vehicles pulled by large animals in units of 100 people, and advance towards the destination.

On the way, Ai Yi seemed to see that Hao's face was not good, so she squeezed away a few elves and humans, sat next to Hao and said: "What's the matter, you have a stinky face, isn't it just a few minutes late, and it's not bad for these few minutes, and yes, I've always said it, you look good when you smile, come, give Ye a smile." ”

Hao looked at Ai Yi, didn't smile, just said with a cold face: "Miss Ai Yi, please respect yourself, you are an elf noblewoman, don't talk about the master or anything at every turn, and also, we are now the army set off, and the military order is carried out, so far, if there is a ...... next time"

"Are you going to kill me?" said Ay as she blinked and stared into Hao's eyes.

Hao turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the carport and said: "Yes, I march the military law, if I violate this military law myself, I can even kill myself, you ...... I'll kill it too!"

Ay was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly grinned, and at the same time reached out in the car, pinching Hao's face, and at the same time Ay muttered: "I like to say these cruel words, if you are so ruthless in your heart, then it doesn't hurt to say these cruel words again, hehe......"

Hao didn't bother to pay attention to her......

The location of the station is still some distance away from Sulan City, so the departure of the team did not cause any waves, after all, it is only a small team of more than a thousand people, and the larger merchant groups are more than this number, not to mention that this team is a registered adventure group, and the leader is still a high-level magician, as long as this team does not come to attack the city, it is almost unhindered in this plant alliance.

That's it, the team went all the way to the Thousand Grottoes, halfway Hao took the team to change lanes twice, and passed through two doubts that he had laid down earlier, both of which were some of the previously built simple camps, these two simple camps are at the intersection of several cities, starting from this simple camp, the destination is not easy to guess, after two camps in a row, unless it is a person who has been following closely behind the team, it will be more difficult to track the team by footprints, not to mention that Hao also personally led people to clean up the traces of the past, unless it is tracked with magic, otherwise even skilled hunters will be difficult to track。

That's it, two lane changes in a row, the second time the lane change, Hao also abandoned all the large cattle and vehicles, let the team move forward on foot, during this period, Ai Yi connected the magic tower signals sent by many border big cities through magic, and knew from the magic tower signals of those big cities that the invasion of the underworld camp has begun, and one of several large cities has come into contact with the vanguard of the underworld camp, this signal can't send pictures and videos or the like, but it just describes the composition of the vanguard of the underworld camp from the text, in addition to the known various undead creatures, there are many twisted, terrifying monsters accompanying them, as well as countless tools made of bones and souls, powerful, strange and terrifying, although it was not possible to break through the big city for a while, but this big city was completely besieged by the undead army of the underworld camp.

And from the signal of the magic tower, everyone also learned that all kinds of strange things began to appear in the besieged big city, singing in the middle of the night, levitating heads, disappearing out of thin air, etc., although it is not as terrifying as low-latitude erosion, but these anomalies are also fatal to ordinary people, especially now that there are refugees everywhere in the big cities, these anomalies are the influence of the forces of the lower planes, in just a few days, hundreds of thousands of people died in this besieged big city, these people were not killed by the underworld camp, but only affected by anomalous phenomena。

"Judging from the current situation, isn't this underworld camp sending reinforcements at the encirclement point?" said an elf who touched his chin and guessed after hearing what Ai said.

At dusk, six days had passed since Hao led everyone out of the station, and at this moment they were less than three days away from the Thousand Caves, and at this time everyone had already set up camp, and the elves gathered around Hao, listening to Ai Yi talk about the invasion of the underworld camp mentioned in the signal of the magic tower.

All the elves were talking about this war, but Hao was a little distracted, and then Ai asked Hao: "God, tell me, is this the underworld camp in the encirclement to help?"

Hao came back to his senses at this time, and he sighed and said: " No, this should be the underworld camp is planning a full-scale invasion, the so-called encirclement point reinforcement will only occur in several situations, the first is that the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is mediocre, that is, the usual means used by a few elites against most mediocre battles, and the use of force to divide the enemy's troops, with a road advantage to break a few enemy troops, etc., this is the right way on the battlefield, the underworld camp is also a civilized race, although it is a dead civilization race, but the war should also think the same, so the idea of the commander of the underworld camp should be a full-scale invasion. ”

"All-out invasion!?" The elves were stunned, they didn't think it would be such an answer for a while.

A full-scale invasion is extremely rare in the wars of the Alliance, because of the presence of cities, a full-scale invasion is a joke.

All the gathering places that can be called city-level must all have magic towers in the city, and at the same time, there are a large number of protective magic arrays on the city wall, it is very difficult to break through a big city, and if you don't care about these big cities, if you drive straight in, the logistics will be easily blocked, unless it is an empire that surpasses the alliance level, such as the elf empire, relying on a large number of magicians, relying on the unique magic lock, you can set up a portal, so that you can get supplies anytime and anywhere, otherwise the so-called all-out invasion is meaningless, and the big city is like a nail nailed to the door of life, just what is the use of breaking through the top of the village and town？

Hao said with a gloomy face: " Theoretically speaking, a full-scale invasion is really meaningless for an alliance-level war, but for the underworld camp, or all the lower-plane forces, their favorite thing is a full-scale invasion, first of all, the supply is simply dispensable for the lower-plane forces, demons, devils, or the underworld camp These lower-plane creatures, they like the soul or flesh and blood of life, and they don't need the so-called supply at all, although there are many lives gathered in the big city, but there are also a lot of lives around the city, they only need to burn all the way, spread corrosion, and they are not afraid of being cut off and robbed of supplies, because they have no back road at all, there are no supplies at all. ”

"And for the lower plane, if you don't go out of the city, I will invade in an all-round way, burn everything, destroy everything, and spread the corruption of the lower plane to your heart's content, if you dare to go out of the city, then fight hard with you, kill you all, take your soul, torture and kill the captives, and then destroy the city, if you defeat it, it will be completely destroyed...... Then it's all gone, the lower planes don't care about death or injury at all, they only care about whether they can continue to destroy everything. ”

All the elves were suddenly a little creepy, just thinking of the countless dead creatures, sweeping through everything like a plague, turning all living things into undead and monsters, turning the earth into a decaying cemetery, turning cities into buildings piled up with dry bones, and the whole world became grotesque and terrifying, and when they thought of this, they felt as if their hearts were being clenched by fear, and their faces were all pale and speechless.

"Hurry up. Hao stood up and said: "Have a good rest today, tomorrow we will start a rapid march, we must rush to the Thousand Caves as soon as possible, the speed of the attack of the underworld camp has exceeded my expectations, we must make progress before the underworld camp ravages this Sulan City." ”

Hao has a hunch, a bad premonition, to be honest, in his prediction, the underworld camp from the beginning of the invasion, to the attack on the first city, and then to the full-scale invasion, this time he gave an estimate of two to three months, on the one hand, the undead of the underworld camp have a different concept of time from creatures, they prefer to spread corrosion and collect souls, step by step to transform the world into what they like, and at the same time collect and devour souls on a large scale, instead of now, as soon as the war starts, a full-scale invasion will be launched, just like the demons and devils in a hurry。

Something must have happened that caused the underworld camp to change their nature and adopt this rapid and fierce invasion method, although there are many possibilities, such as the order of the superiors, such as changes on the side of the Elven Empire, the regular legion of the Elf Empire began to attack the underworld camp, or there is a change in the high-level of the Plant Alliance, or there is a change in the external situation, etc., which may cause the Netherworld camp to eagerly want to capture the entire Plant Alliance.

But it is also possible that the commander of the army of the underworld camp, or a high-ranking person knows about the existence of the relics of this half-blood spirit magician and wants to seize this ruin, or it is also possible that the power of the underworld camp knows that he has obtained the information of the relics of the Venerable and is now here to hunt them down, or it is also possible that a certain powerful law system of the underworld camp knows that he has the ability to analyze the career path of an arcane and runs to capture him......

There are too many possibilities, even if it is an incredible possibility, as long as it is possible, Hao will treat it as an inevitable occurrence, at least he will design a response plan as an accident that will be encountered, and in his response plan, once this happens in the underworld camp, then the target will be him, the remains of the spirit magician, the relics of the Venerable, his rune analysis method, etc......

So on the second day, Hao's ruthlessness began again, from morning to night, the real rapid march, even the elves did not have any preferential treatment, and thanks to the fact that Ay is a high-level magician, he used the group endurance recovery technique three times in a row halfway, and everyone went to the middle of the night, and forced the three-day journey to be completed in a full day of rapid marching, and in the middle of the night, everyone saw the camp that appeared in the distance, that is, when the first time he explored the thousand caves, Hao asked Ai Rui to build the one, everyone breathed out in unison, together with the human race, they were finally liberated...... Temporary......

The next day, Hao divided the human army into two parts, one part to protect the camp, and the other part began to explore the cave where the ruins were located, and rotated once a day, and in this camp, in the past few months, Hao had already secretly sent people to transport a lot of materials, which were piled up in the warehouses of the camp, enough for them to eat and drink here for half a year.

Then the exploration began, and in the next few days, Hao and his team kept moving forward in this cave, continuing down from the first encounter, encountering one or two encounters every day, as well as magic traps and magic decryption, etc., thanks to the semi-magic weapons designed by Hao, which are extremely good, this way down, the death and injury rate in the encounter is extremely low, and after a few days in a row, only three people died and eleven people were injured, which is a trivial damage compared to the first encounter.

At the same time, Iyamahisa muttered nervously, touching his chest from time to time, and then showed a smirk or a hideous smile.

And beside Ishanjiu, there were several Eagle Clan guards in the merchant group, as well as a team of more than a dozen warriors of the lowest first order and the highest third order, all of which were extraordinary professionals he hired with a lot of money, for which he even took out the coffin book, and even owed a lot of debts because of this.

"It's okay, it's okay, Ishanjiu, as long as you can get this relic inheritance, it's worth everything, that's right, Yishanjiu, I think so too......"

Yi Shanjiu muttered to himself, nervously talking to himself, and looking around in fear from time to time, so that no matter who came to see him, he felt extremely weird.

And what Ishanjiu and those Eagle Clan guards didn't notice were the transcendent professionals hired by Ishanjiu, who looked at each other from time to time, and there was an inexplicable look in their eyes, which was bloodthirsty and cunning.

Gradually, they got closer and closer to the Thousand Caves.
