(Battle of Runes) Chapter 144: Shadow Island, an underground labyrinth

Demacia's warships and Ionia's warships were the latest steel giants and were fast, and it took less than five days for this fleet to reach the outskirts of Shadow Isle.

If it weren't for the fact that the War College already had a force of 30,000 people, under the leadership of Tyrone, Trist, Sun Wukong, and Notilus, they landed on Shadow Island in advance.

Chen Yin may use the same tactics as he did in the original attack on Etistan, besieging Shadow Island with 25 warships, first carrying out a day and a night of bombardment, and finally sending soldiers to land to completely cleanse this source of evil.

There were 250,000 troops landing on Shadow Island this time, except for 2,000 people left behind by each warship, all the soldiers who could fight were taken to Shadow Island by Chen Yin.

A small formation of 25 warships of 6 warships surrounded the Shadow Island in the east, west, north, and south directions, providing artillery support at any time according to the signals on the island.

The 250,000 people who landed on the island were divided into three forces, Chen Yin led the main force of 120,000 to attack from the center of the south side, Bobby and Shadow led 60,000 cavalry troops to attack from the west side of the island, and Caitlin and Colin twins led 20,000 mechanized artillery troops and 50,000 infantry to attack from the east side of the island.

The final meeting point of the three forces was on the north side of Shadow Island, where Chen Yin's flagship stayed.

Large, well-trained soldiers sweep the island like the autumn wind sweeping away leaves, advancing along every corner.

The most efficient and the most damaging to the original ecological environment of Shadow Island is naturally Chen Yin's middle route army.

The dense forests that once towered with trees, blocking the sunlight and breeding countless shady creatures were ignited by a series of fires, and those ghosts, zombies and skeleton warriors who had nowhere to hide were no match for the well-trained and assembled soldiers, and before they could get close, these undead troops were smashed by a dense rain of arrows and countless white spears that flashed with rune light, and whenever soldiers and skeletons squirmed on the ground, ready to be reborn, a purified white light would scatter to the earth, Shining on their bodies, these Shadow Island creatures who have feared life and death for thousands of years have finally ushered in their true end.

Among the 250,000 soldiers who landed, there were sacrificial troops and monk troops from Ionia's 80,000 reinforcements, and with the progress of the Shadow Island's clearance, their cooperation with the warriors became more and more tacit.

In just one day, most of the entire Shadow Isle was already covered in artillery fire and carnage.

Two days later, the three forces converged on the north side of Shadow Isle.

At this time, the Shadow Island was full of desolation, like a rooster that had been plucked out of its feathers, and it was miserable for people to witness.

The work of sweeping the island also brought unexpected joy, and the troops led by the instructors of the War College left many special marks after landing on the island, and the location where these marks finally disappeared pointed to a stretch of mountain range through which Chen Yin's army had passed.

At this moment, the mountain range is still burning in the flames, and the mountain fire has not stopped.

Chen Yin had already obtained the information summarized by the three troops in his hand, compared all the marks left behind, and combined these special marks to obtain several key information.

The 30,000-strong troops of the War College were not wiped out, they entered the underground of Shadow Isle, which is the core area of Shadow Isle and where the three giants of Shadow Isle live.

Since it is underground, there will definitely be an entrance passage, as long as you find the passage, and then enter the underground from the passage, you can find the lair of the monsters of the Shadow Island, and then turn them upside down.

Three days later, the wildfire finally stopped, and along the mountain range on the Isle of Shadows, the soldiers discovered a total of five underground entrances.

Chen Yin arranged for Max, Shadow, Caitlin, Bobby, and Sabo to divide the 250,000 sergeants who landed on the island into five places to guard these passages.

He himself prepared to take a mixed army of 2,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 sacrificial monks into one of the passages to find the Mentors of the War College.

Fiona and Akali refused to stay outside the passage for anything, and Chen Yin had no choice but to take the two of them with him.

The passage of the cave is dark and damp, and there have been battles in many areas along the way, and traces of knives and axes can be seen on the walls from time to time, but the strange thing is that there is not a single human corpse here.

Until the turn of an underground passage was passed again, and there was a thick layer of gray-white dust on the ground, which was a relatively open space, and there were more than a dozen caves leading deep underground.

Chen Yin squatted down, pinched up a handful of gray-white dust, put it between his nose and sniffed it, he finally understood why the troops of the War College who had entered the ground could not see their corpses along the way, their corpses had been completely incinerated to ashes.

"I see, I see!"

Chen Yin suddenly began to talk to himself, making Fiona and Akali beside him a little confused.

"Chen Yin, what did you find? Got a clue from the teachers? ”

Fiona couldn't help but ask first.

"Sort of. There was a great battle here, and our War College Escort must have killed quite a few people, otherwise the ashes would not have accumulated so much. Also, I understand why we haven't seen a single human corpse since we landed on the island. The instructors must have discovered something, so if someone dies, the body will be gathered up and cremated. I speculate that the Shadow Isle has a mysterious power rule that brings the dead back to life. That's why there are so many zombies, skeletons, and ghosts here, and only by completely incinerating the corpses can we keep our great warriors from being polluted by this evil force. ”

"Even the dead will not be spared, the Shadow Isle is really the source of evil and filth, let's hurry up and find those culprits, we must destroy them completely."

As one of the three protectors of the generation of the Balance Sect, Akali has a strong sense of justice in her heart, and she is the person who despises this kind of behavior in Shadow Isle the most.

"It's hard to find, there are more and more forks in the road ahead, my consciousness is obviously blocked here, I can't feel anything in the depths of the underground at all, let's search the outside of these caves again, and see if there are any marks left by the mentors."

A few minutes later, Chen Yin and his party found seven caves with the marks of the War College.

Looking at the old and new markings, it is clear that the four instructors of the War College have divided their forces, and the underground of the Shadow Isle is like a complex labyrinth that will go back to its original place if you are not careful.

After the caves that have been carved more than twice have been eliminated first, there are still two caves left that can now be selected, one on the left and one on the right.

There were two opinions in the group on which side to take, with more than half of them thinking it was better to go to the left, and a small half of them thinking it was better to go to the right.

Even Akali and Fiona, who have always been more harmonious, have a disagreement, Fiona feels that she should go to the left, but Akali has a soft spot for taking the right.

Chen Yin, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand and stopped everyone's argument.

At this time, the light in his right hand flickered, and it seemed that a golden object appeared in the palm of his hand, which was casually flicked into the air by him.

After falling back into his palm again, Chen Yin stretched out his hand and pointed to the cave on the right side and said, "Here, let's go!" ”

"How old is it? Still flipping coins? ”

Akali followed behind Chen Yin, probably because Chen Yin finally chose the path she wanted to take, and Akali still had a smile on the corner of her mouth at the moment.

"Instead of hesitating, it's better to leave it directly to fate, no matter which way you go, as long as you can reach the destination, then just let it be, understand?"

Chen Yin said calmly.

"Oh!" This made Akali nod her head in understanding.
