Chapter 1348: Creatures of Hell
As for Li Ran's side, although after seeing this situation, in order to avoid suspicion, he also proposed to stay, but who understands the danger of staying here, and this person, who is the prince, has done so much for his side, at this time, whether it is Vertunmar or the generals beside him, and even the leader of the two-headed giant, Okusk, has also persuaded him repeatedly, and finally Li Ran had to agree to go with him.
However, in the eyes of these generals, this Prince of Territh did do things, and although he went with them for safety, he also said that he would leave most of the remaining troops behind, dispelling the only remaining worries in their hearts.
Even though the matter has been decided, everyone also understands the urgency of this matter, in order to avoid being discovered by the other party, and then they took advantage of the darkness to transfer troops overnight, and in addition to tens of thousands of demonized barbarian warriors, in order to ensure that they are not discovered, Forton Marr also left some two-headed giants and frost giant warriors, and assigned them to Chebman for unified deployment, after all, there are suddenly no such troops, I am afraid that the other party will also be suspicious.
It must be said that they moved very quickly, and before dawn Vertunmar personally led a large group of men and horses out of the place, and then marched all the way, and it took less than two days to reach a col where there were still traces of development.
Although he was a little curious about the existence of a gravity field here, because he had also asked Forton Marr and others before, Li Ran and several teammates in the company were not too surprised at this time, looking at the mountain that was being opened under the chiseling of a group of soldiers, Li Ran also ordered the hundreds of troops accompanying him to come forward to help.
The further they went, the same as before, the strength of the gravity field became stronger and stronger, which made everyone's marching speed slow down, especially when a week later, when they finally smashed open a mountain, they suddenly found that the strength of this gravity field had increased to an amazing level, even if it was a strong giant warrior, it was a little difficult to swing the stone hammer at this time.
However, Fortonmar and the others were not surprised by this, because they knew very well that the appearance of this abnormal situation would only show that they were not far from their goal, and under the excitement, at this time, even Vertunmar himself was personally involved, plus the king of giants, Yahiri, who had recovered from his injuries, at this time, at the expense of physical strength, he also made the speed of the march not decrease but increase.
However, their joy did not last long, and as the time came to noon on the third day, they received the news that the follow-up corps of the coalition army in the rear had arrived and launched a tentative attack on the legion they had left behind at the pass.
Hearing this information, Vertunmar and the generals couldn't help but change their faces greatly, but then when the former decisively ordered to continue to open up the road, he ordered the half-orc leader Kunnita to lead part of the troops to establish a second battlefield in a dangerous position about fifty miles behind.
At this moment, everyone knew that it was a matter of life and death, so under the desperate effort, this passage was gradually opened, but at this moment, another problem appeared, that is, the alien creatures that were not rare before suddenly increased at this moment.
It was also on this afternoon that they had successfully opened up another mountain road, but they suddenly found hundreds of stone elements that seemed to be a little strange in front of them.
He is said to be weird, because compared to ordinary stone elements, these guys are different from any form of stone elementals except that their bodies are also composed of rocks, and the body of the dwarf dun dun is as long as vertical and horizontal, with three arms, three short legs, three eyes and a big mouth, which looks very strange and terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that in addition to the strength of these guys above the epic level, not only are they not affected by the gravitational field here, but they even have the flexibility to treat the mountain as nothing.
Finally settled these guys, but caused thousands of casualties on their own side, which of course has something to do with the strength of these strange creatures, but more because of the continuous labor, coupled with the shortage of materials, the soldiers are somewhat physically exhausted.
But what is surprising is that after these guys appeared, they found that there was a smooth road ahead, and they even saw a lot of green plants appearing in it.
But after only a while, they found that under this seemingly calm appearance, there was a greater threat, which was mostly caused by all kinds of strange creatures, and the most terrifying one was that the hundreds of warriors in front of them suddenly fell into a large pit, and then from this large pit, crawled out of an octopus-shaped, but the size of a square of terrible creatures.
Although it is impossible to see the specific level of this strange creature, even the largest two-headed giant is powerless in front of it, because even if it escapes the attack of its dozens of meters long and full of stinger tentacles, as long as it is entangled in any of its gelatinous tentacles, it will be thrown directly into the bottomless pit under its body, and it is difficult to survive.
I don't know if it's because of the teaming up of Vertunmar and the king of giants, Ahiri, to cut off its two tentacles, or because of seeing so many already crazy warriors, causing a lot of pressure on themselves, or just thinking that the food dragged down the pit is enough to digest itself for a while, and finally this strange octopus-like creature also entered the pit and disappeared, so that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But even after such a while, they suffered heavy casualties, which could not help but make Vertunmar and the other generals feel a little nervous, because in their opinion, if they continue like this, it is difficult to say whether they will be able to reach the land of myths.
However, hope is sometimes hidden around the corner, and when they cautiously walked dozens of kilometers closer, and saw the strange shape of the building that suddenly appeared in front of them, they knew that they had finally found a place.
When they got closer, everyone gradually saw the whole picture of this building, and in the eyes of Li Ran and several teammates, it was not so much like a building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, but more like a miracle.
Because they were too far away to see clearly, they also discovered at this time, unlike other buildings, this circular building with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters turned out to be a whole with no traces of construction at all!
If it's just an ordinary building, a few archmages with top-level shaping skills, or a mage with this expertise, might be able to do that.
But looking at the magnificent building in front of him, not to mention other people at this time, even Vertonmar, who had been to many national cities and even set foot in the Central Continent, was still standing for a long time at this moment, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
And finally when everyone came to their senses, out of the quality of a warrior, they also suppressed their nervous and excited emotions, and began to observe the movements around them, after all, no one dared to take it lightly before the complete task, and the octopus-like creature that appeared before still made everyone a little scared at this moment.
It seems that there is some kind of strange magic, and at this time, around this circular building, even the green grass and moss dare not approach, and just one or two hundred meters in front of it, all of them have stopped growing.
And on the periphery of this circular building, as people get closer, they also see statues carved with various strange patterns, coats of arms and creatures.
As a lord and chieftain, most of the people present have studied various insignia and coats of arms, after all, there is a lot of information involved in them, which can give them more information about the people and forces they are facing and the forces they are facing.
But after looking through all their memories, they didn't have any impression of these heraldic patterns on them, which couldn't help but make everyone feel a little curious, but they recognized a lot of the statues of those creatures above, most of which were all kinds of powerful creatures from hell.
With a commotion ahead, Li Ran also followed Vertunmar and the others over, and here, they also saw an arch that seemed to be carried by two terrifying creature statues.
Even at this time, everyone still didn't dare to take it lightly, and after glancing at each other, Vertonmar stopped the leader of the two-headed giants, Okusque, who was a little impatient, and transferred a team of soldiers and horses to explore the way, while he and the others followed.
In his opinion, although this is the magical place of the demon lord Costchurch, there is a trace of weirdness around it, and it is not a bad thing to be careful.
As for the next development, it also confirmed that his fear was right, because just as they followed the group of frost giants into the circular structure, thinking that there was no danger, the sound of debris falling to the ground suddenly came from there, and then people saw several huge black shadows, flashing towards the frost giant warriors in front of them.
"Be careful! These are Infernal Breathing Beasts! With a soft snap, Vertun Mar hurriedly led his team forward to respond, because he knew that these terrifying and powerful creatures were not just existences that demonized warriors and frost giants could fight against.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the battle ahead had already begun, and in front of those huge terrifying beasts, the demonic warriors and frost giants were as fragile as grass mustard.
However, with the help of the red light that emerged from these warriors' slashing on the body of the Hell Flame Beast, at this time, all the generals, including Li Ran, also saw clearly, it turned out that on the inner wall of this circular building, countless coats of arms and terrifying creatures were also carved, and judging from the closest debris to them, it was obvious that these few Hell Flame Beasts that suddenly appeared were sealed here before.
