Chapter 539: Temptation
"Enemy attack!"
One of the most discerning dwarven spearmen decided that an unknown creature had broken into the territory of the cast-iron fort, and decisively grabbed the heavy crossbow and pointed it into the sky.
"Whew!"
While the screeching sound of the specially made whistle arrow alarmed everyone, Lot Cast Iron, who had been in charge of the city's defenses, had already arrived on the city wall with teleportation magic.
After noticing that some black spots had indeed appeared in the distance, the young city lord of the dwarf clan ordered loudly: "The whole army! Man your posts! ”
The dwarves who were worried that the demons might attack at any time had already implemented the Qingye fortification tactic, and all kinds of demonic beasts that originally lived around the Cast Iron Fort had already been wiped out under the repeated attacks of those sheep-headed monsters before, so Lott Cast Iron was not worried that this would be a misunderstanding.
However, after those black dots gradually approached, Lott Cast Iron, who saw clearly what those black dots were, still subconsciously widened his eyes.
"Poison Eyes, Minotaur Guards, Poisonous Manticore, and Hydra!"
Deck, who came in a hurry, was also quite surprised and said, "It's all the demonic beasts of this underground world? ”
That's right, all the things that appeared in the sight of Lot Cast Iron and Deck were all kinds of magical beasts that had been living in this underground world for a long time. Of course, the Poison Eye Clan and the Minotaurs are also intelligent creatures, but these are the races that have always been regarded as cannon fodder by the major races, and in fact, they are not regarded as intelligent races by the dwarves and dwarfs.
It can only be said that these ignorant races, which have not yet formed their own culture, are too weak and too weak to get the so-called "human rights" at all.
Just when Lott Cast Iron and Deck were confused by the arrival of these cannon fodder races in the underground world, Werther Cast Iron and Aisha and others also came to the city wall one after another.
“…… Don't be too nervous, it's just a small temptation for the enemy. ”
The experienced Werther Cast Iron quickly sensed the reason, but his face was calm on the surface, but his heart actually sank suddenly.
Because when all these races that originally belonged to the underground world appear as enemy troops, it means that they will never find any reinforcements in a short time.
What Witt Cast Iron could imagine, Aisha, Baker Copperfinger, and Elder Pixar could of course also deduce, so the expressions of these people were not very good-looking.
Especially when the underground race coalition led by Hydra stopped outside the range of the long-range troops, and then the Minotaur Leader Tower, who was a general, slowly appeared, the faces of Witt Cast Iron and the others became even more iron-blue.
Now that the other races in the underground world have been absorbed by the demons, the cast-iron castle that has no way to get other support in a short period of time is really isolated.
"Little girl, hurry up and let your elemental legion be hidden!"
Witt Cast Iron, who reacted the fastest, said something to Aisha very eagerly, and then turned to his son and said, "You too!" Hide all those elemental creatures for me! ”
Although it was a little unclear, Lott Cast Iron did not raise any objections and immediately turned away. At the same time, Baker Copperfinger, who is the patriarch of the dwarf clan, questioned, "Is this useful?" ”
"Whether it's useful or not, I'm not sure."
Witt Cast Iron said in a deep voice: "However, the details of our dwarf clan have long been investigated by those sheep-headed monsters, and the situation of your dwarf clan is estimated to be no better, so it is better for those elemental legions to hide for the time being." Although sooner or later it will be exposed, but before it is exposed, we have an extra hole card. ”
Witte Cast Iron's words made Baker Copperfinger and the others all nod in unison.
Even they didn't know that Karen would send such a large group of elemental creatures, and it was even more unlikely that the demons who were far away would know the news, so these elemental creatures could indeed be used as a surprise soldier.
This made Baker Copperfinger and the others can't help but admire Werther Cast Iron a little in their hearts: he really deserves to be a dwarven powerhouse who can start from scratch and lay such a foundation as the Cast Iron Castle.
After Bart ordered the elemental creatures to hide according to Witt Cast Iron's request, Aisha subconsciously frowned when she looked at the minotaur leader who appeared behind the coalition of underground creatures.
"Dio, don't you think that minotaur leader looks a little ...... Not too happy? ”
After carefully looking at the Minotaur leader Tower for a while, Aisha said so.
"I'm sorry, I really can't tell what he looks like on that cow's face."
Dio shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and then replied casually: "But, isn't this stupid cow a talker?" Why didn't you say a word today? ”
"It's a little weird......"
Aisha said very suspiciously, but she was not familiar with the minotaur leader tower, so she really couldn't imagine what could happen to the minotaur leader.
"The detection is complete, and the number of enemy troops has been confirmed."
At this moment, Bart suddenly spoke: "The enemy's current strength is ......."
"There are a total of 623 hydras of various types from the sixth order to the ninth order."
"There are a total of 2,146 poisonous scorpion lions from the fifth to seventh orders."
"There are a total of 5,349 minotaur warriors from the fourth to the sixth order."
"There are a total of 6,754 poisonous eyes from the second order to the fourth order."
"Less than fifteen thousand troops...... Wait a minute! ”
Aisha, who blinked, asked in confusion: "This strength distribution ...... Doesn't seem right? ”
"As far as I know, no matter what kind of it is, as long as it is a mature hydra clan, it at least has the strength of the seventh order!"
Deck, who was not far away, interjected casually after hearing Aisha's question.
"Hahaha......"
After laughing twice, Baker Copperfinger said with a smile: "It can't be those hydras who go out directly with the whole family, right?" ”
Baker Brass Finger was actually joking, but before his words fell, the faces of Lott Cast Iron and the others, who had better eyesight, became very ugly.
Because they all noticed that in that group of hydras, there were indeed some juvenile hydras mixed with only one or two heads! And a similar situation has also appeared in the other three races!
"It's not just about using them as cannon fodder, it's about completely killing them!"
The grumpy Elder Pixar blew up on the spot.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Just as Elder Pixar wanted to make a move, Werther Cast Iron held him down directly. Relying on the formidable strength of a legendary warrior, Witt Cast Iron easily subdued the unprepared Elder Pixar.
After Elder Pixar snorted angrily and said that he would not make a casual move, Witt Cast Iron let go of him, and then said with a heavy face: "No matter what kind of circumstances they were driven by those demons, we only need to remember one thing, and that is ...... They are now our enemies! ”
As soon as Witte Cast Iron's words came out, Baker Brass Finger and the others all nodded heavily after a moment of silence.
Aisha, who couldn't bear it in her heart, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Look, that's where the weak end."
Dio, who had a cold face, said slowly: "Not to mention that they want to communicate with other races, these cannon fodder in the underground world don't even have the right to speak out." ”
I know with my knees that since even the little ones who are still in their infancy have gone to the battlefield, then those cubs who have just been born and don't even have any combat effectiveness will probably end up much better.
The demons, whether they are cunning devils or brutal demons, are not very kind-hearted races.
"That's not right! This shouldn't be how it should be! ”
Clenching the staff of the World Tree in her hand, Aisha said with some pain.
"You want to change that, don't you?"
Touching Aisha's head, Dio said very calmly: "There is still a way." ”
"Huh?"
Aisha subconsciously turned her head to look at Dio, and there was a little more hope in her eyes.
"As long as the masterminds behind the scenes are found out and beaten up completely, the problem should be solved."
After shrugging his shoulders at Aisha, Dio said indifferently: "So, you have to continue to work hard!" ”
"Humph!"
After a nasal sound to Dio, Aisha turned her head back, but her gloomy mood improved a lot.
(Is it okay to beat up the people behind the scenes and let them know how much it will cost...... )
Aisha, who held the staff of the World Tree, made a faint decision. What she didn't know was that at the same time as she made this decision, the Staff of the World Tree in her hand was faintly glowing.
However, after being glared at by Dio, the Staff of the World Tree obediently took back all the light.
Big guy, I can't afford to mess with it, so I say goodbye......
After warning the World Tree Staff with the Will of the World Tree, Dio, who was standing beside Aisha, silently prepared for battle.
What she said to Aisha wasn't just a nice word to comfort her, but Dio really thought so, and was about to do it.
Under the gaze of everyone who was waiting for the battle, the Minotaur leader tower silently waited for the cannon fodder races of the underground world to line up in an array, and then beckoned behind him.
Soon, a magician of the Minotaur clan with legendary primary strength quickly rushed over.
"Let's do it."
Without even glancing at this subordinate, Ta, the leader of the minotaur, said coldly.
"This ......"
The minotaur magician, who was a subordinate, asked with some hesitation, "My lord, is this really good?" ”
“…… I had no choice. ”
The Minotaur leader tower slowly closed his eyes.
Looking at such a leader, the minotaur mage sighed a little helplessly.
But just as the minotaur mage was about to make a move, there was a commotion in front of him.
A minotaur warrior who was much taller than the other minotaur guards burst out of the array, gasping for breath and yelling at the minotaur leader Tower, "Tower! This is completely different from what you say! ”
Tata, who suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the minotaur warrior quietly for a moment before slowly replying, "...... I'm sorry. ”
"Moo!"
After raising his head and letting out a roar, the strong minotaur warrior rushed directly at the tower: "Do you think it's enough to say sorry!" ”
With the shame of being deceived, the anger of betrayal, and the despair of being persecuted......
The Minotaur warrior, whose strength was originally only at the peak of the ninth order, actually faintly touched that hurdle at this moment.
However, this axe, which contained his full strength, was easily taken by the tower.
The tower, which was bare-handed and didn't even pull out the tomahawk, was caught with one hand.
"How is this possible!"
Looking at the blade of the axe that was firmly grasped by the tower, the eyes of the minotaur warrior were filled with disbelief.
"There's nothing impossible."
With a little pity, the Minotaur Leader Tower said softly: "There is a huge gap between you who are only the ninth order and me as a legend......
"There's an insurmountable gap between me as a legend and that bastard as a demigod......"
The tower's last words were so light that only the Minotaur warriors who were close at hand could hear them. Just as a flash of clarity flashed in the eyes of the minotaur warrior, the minotaur leader Ta easily snatched the minotaur warrior's battle axe, and then waved it backhand.
The next moment, a head with horns flew high.
Without even glancing at the corpse that had fallen violently, the Minotaur leader Tower, who was forcing his eyes, let out a soft sigh.
In fact, as the youngest leader of the Minotaur Clan, Tower originally wanted to take over the Minotaur Clan in the underworld.
Because the Minotaur clan in the underground world was originally the bloodline left by the Minotaur clan in the demon world on the main plane. Except that there is no smell of sulfur on their bodies, their strength is not so strong, and their temperament is not so bloodthirsty, there is not much difference between the Minotaur and the Minotaur Clan.
After a simple demonization ritual, these minotaur warriors can be transformed into minotaur warriors. Although the strength may be lower, the increase in population is what the tower values as the leader of the Minotaur.
As for the strength, you only need to throw those newly converted minotaur warriors into the battlefield to hone them, and you will be able to improve them in no time.
Unfortunately, all this planning was completely destroyed when the demigod-level fallen angel appeared in front of the tower.
The tower had no choice but to obediently give up his idea.
Because the strongest elder in the clan is not the opponent of the demigod-level fallen angel with wounds on his body......
"Alright, let's do it."
The tower that opened his eyes again whispered, and the minotaur mage who witnessed all this did not persuade anything more, and silently began to prepare to cast a spell.
