The camera pans back to the night when Guderian and Natasha led the team to explore the underground passage. In the moonlight, Evra stood on the bunker where the conference hall was located, watching Guderian's recruits on the lit line of fire snipe at the kobolds' charge with all kinds of instruments or weapons, under the various orders of the lieutenants. Tonight's kobold is no different from usual. Evra had already consulted with the others, and when Guderian and Natasha's team brought back the news that the enemy's main force had withdrawn, they would counterattack and press the kobolds back into the passage to regain control of the passage defense. Otherwise, there is a large line of defense, which is guarded day and night, even though the soldiers are already abundant, it is also very difficult. In addition, not being able to detect the movements of the enemy's main forces in time is also a very passive matter. The previous defense line in the passage was lost, and it was completely filled in by the enemy with a new cannon fodder class such as kobolds. At that time, Evra and the soldiers of the defense line did not know about this type of troops, and then with the participation of the high-end forces of the enemy's main force, Evra and the soldiers were caught off guard and before they could make an effective response, the passage defense line was breached.

The kobolds' charge could not advance an inch on the gentle slope below the defensive line, but they fearlessly repeated the charge and charged again. Amid rolling stones, logs, arrows, and oil fires, kobolds roared and screamed endlessly, and corpses piled up on the gentle slope. Gradually, Evra noticed that something was wrong. Normally, they would withdraw when five or six thousand kobolds were killed, but they showed no sign of withdrawing. Evra immediately summoned Lanardo, Ali, and Achilles to discuss, and the enemy's anomaly indicated that the main force behind it had changed, and it was necessary to be vigilant and take precautions.

As Evra's counselled and patrolled the line, Natasha and Guderian returned with a team of scouts, and the mages and warriors gave a heavy account to Evra's group. The fate of Natasha and Guderian has become a worry over everyone's hearts for a while, but there is not much time left for them to worry and pray, and a greater crisis has loomed over the defense line. The opening of the gates of hell will be a great disaster.

"We don't have time, blow the horn!" Evra led the group to stand on the defensive line, watching as the kobolds were still rushing towards the line without fear of death. Based on the number in the field of vision, it is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 of them.

Behind the recruits on the defense line, a team with complete armor has already been assembled, which is the original soldiers of the defense line. "Woo~Woo~Woo~" As the sound of the horn echoed on the defensive line, the warriors drew their swords and rushed down from the defensive line to the bottom of the valley. The recruits are also led by the lieutenants to focus on the kobolds in a certain direction. The bed crossbow and the magic crystal cannon are almost never fired in this kind of defensive warfare, which is equivalent to training the recruits, but at this time, they do not cherish the arrows and energy to squander, and the whistling crossbow arrows are mixed with the scarlet light. As the night drew to a close, humanity launched its first counterattack against the enemy in the history of the battle.

The battle, the moment the charging kobold met the charging human warrior, became a one-sided situation. After many days of recuperation, the warriors who had recovered from their peak vented their resentment against the enemy and the memory of their dead comrades with their swords and the blood of the enemy. Although the kobolds are not afraid of injury and death, they are still affected by the limits of their physical bodies - how many nights of fighting, the kobolds who have survived until now are exhausted, and besides, tonight's battle has been going on for a long time. The human warriors who had been recuperating for many days pushed through the ground so that the recruits who had just organized themselves to follow behind for support or to pack up the battlefield and carry equipment did not have time to keep up.

Evra's crowd was also on the charging array. After the kobold's charge was overwhelmed and penetrated, the human warrior continued forward and saw the kobold's empty camp. It's no wonder that tonight's kobolds are different from the past, they have all been driven to the defense line by the Drow mages through the mind control they have planted. Passing through the camp, Evra did not organize men to clean up the destroyed defenses, but went straight to the underground passage. The follow-up work is left to the recruits behind you.

Soon after the Evra people entered the passage, the real battle came—an encounter with the demons. The gore of the kobolds on the valley made these red-skinned creatures with two horns and bats like flies swarming from the other side of the tunnel when they smelled rotten eggs. The two sides met in the middle of the passage to the first cave...... There is no skill, no strategy, no formation, only the withering of life and the wailing and roaring of different races, only the battle between claws and weapons...... It wasn't until the passage where they met was filled with corpses that the chaotic demons and the grieving humans consciously retreated and isolated themselves for a long distance, confronting each other.

The human warriors began to repair the destroyed fortifications in the passage, and the demons continued to flock to the human warriors who were building the fortifications without losing their minds.

"Finally got them in the passage. Evra breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Natasha and Guderian's team had brought back the news that Mage Drow had opened the Demon's Gate, Evra's anxious and tense state of mind had only eased now.

"It's just...... I don't know ...... Lord Natasha and General Guderian" Lanardo took off his helmet and looked at the demons looming in the shadows not far from the opposite side after the torches were planted in the passage, with a worried expression.

Ali and Achilles were silent, they didn't dare to imagine. In previous descriptions by the mages and warriors, Natasha was frozen into an ice sculpture, and Guderian was able to defend the ice sculpture to stop the enemy alone. Among the enemies were lichs like Fertanulis, as well as mages like Drow...... At that time, the demon's door had not yet opened, and the demon had already poured into the passage......

Evra also didn't dare to imagine the fall of Natasha and Guderian, which was caused by her decision - although it prevented the demons from storming the defense line in time, if the demons poured out of the passage to attack the defense, it was not a question of whether they could hold it or not, but how long the defense line could last. They have the ability to fly short distances and heights, and they crush human warriors in strength and speed, but if they are in the open terrain, there is no way to effectively snipe and encircle them. Only in a narrow terrain such as an underground passage, using fortifications and using the number of warriors, it is possible to support the onslaught of demons. They are much more difficult to deal with than kobolds, and if they fight in an open valley, the consequences will be unimaginable. Thinking about the loss of the Asgard Mountain Road and the retreat of the Dragon Guard, although there is no record of the battle with the demons, it is conceivable that if it is not for the disadvantage to the point where it is necessary to retreat, how could the Dragon Guard give up the defense of the Asgar Mountain Road? Fortunately, they did not swarm up like the kobolds who did not want to die from the beginning, and the human warriors were caught off guard and retreated. And with the precedent before the kobolds, Evra did not dare to take it lightly, and directly placed the most elite fighters in the defense line at the front. In this way, the defensive line passage was temporarily caught in a standoff.

Guderian and Natasha followed Fortan Ullis through the Minotaur gates and into the city. The city could almost be described as empty, and the few poor pedestrians were all dwarfs. Most of the shops in the city are closed, and when they are open, you don't have to think about the situation on the streets to know that they are deserted. From the outside of the city, the city walls were very tall, but after entering the city, I found that the buildings here were also tall, perhaps because of the Minotaur. Fortan Julius led the two of them towards the center of the city, where a castle stood several steps taller than the city walls. Although he didn't meet a few people along the way, Guderian's induction, he and Natasha were swept by three spiritual powers and two gazes. At every time his spiritual power or gaze swept over, he would subconsciously stop and let the other party investigate. The city was so huge that the three of them walked for more than half an hour to reach the castle in the center. After arriving at the castle, Guderian and Natasha were stopped by the Minotaur guards and questioned Fortan Gillys, who chatted with the Minotaur for a while, and the Minotaur guards looked at them suspiciously before letting them go.

Fortan Ullis led the two of them to find the tower he was in in the castle and went inside. As soon as he entered the mage tower, Fortan Ulis said to the two: "The castle is shared by the strong people of Pearl City, and it is also the residence of the city lord. You usually stay in my mage tower, and you can't go anywhere. ”

"Good master. Guderian said, "But can I borrow some of your books?"

Fortan Ulis gave Guderian a strange look and said, "Feel free to do whatever you want in the tower." I'll go out and get you something to eat, but don't expect anything good. Although, I haven't eaten it. As he spoke, the mage tower floated out of the huge windowsill.

Only then did Guderian and Natasha get rid of the sluggish undead along the way, and looked at each other - the rest of their lives after the catastrophe!

"Thank you, Guderian. Natasha didn't add the word general again, and her tone was not ridiculous, compared to before. Guderian guarded her frozen ice sculptures, which she could faintly sense even though she was in a slumber of resistance.

"If it were me, you would, wouldn't you?" said Guderian.

"Why does your heart beat faster when you hold me?" Natasha looked at Guderian with a smirk...... It's started again......

Guderian was a little unable to resist Natasha's words. "I ...... I'll go find the master's books first. Guderian said as he walked up the staircase that snaked upwards into the mage's tower.

"......" Natasha looked at Guderian's back as he disappeared on the stairs, her face returned to normal, and she pondered.

(The first one is more.) A little later)
