Chapter 167: The Disaster of Changhu Town 2 [Two in One]
Two hours later.
Under the lonely mountain,
A giant four-cornered flag fluttered in the wind, and it rattled!
On the flag, the blueprint on a white background, and the hideous blue giant dragon's head skull overlooked the world with cold eyes.
Under the flag,
There are several monster commanders of different heights and shapes, but all of them exude a strong aura on their bodies.
In front of the great commanders,
It is an army of monsters armed to the teeth, forming several phalanxes.
Under the gentle sunlight of the spring morning,
This army of black and oppressive monsters is particularly solemn and solemn.
At this time, at the forefront of the entire army.
A monstrous blue beast looked down at the monster army in front of him expressionlessly.
"Report to the master, it's all ready!"
At this moment, the Grand Commander Red Fang, dressed in silver-white armor, strode out of the magnificent city gate behind him.
Quickly came to Ainz and said respectfully.
"Hmm!"
Anz nodded, then looked at the army in front of him and said coldly:
"Let's go!"
As soon as the voice fell,
The entire monster legion suddenly moved slowly under the command of the major commanders.
......
Long Lake Town.
Ever since three years ago it was ravaged by the northern dragon Smaug,
and humiliated by the blue dragon that occupied Iruber.
The residents of Changhu Town and the lord Ji Ruian have not forgotten this painful experience.
The town of Long Lake, which stood up in the ashes,
In the following time, not only three giant ballista towers were built in a row,
He even spent a lot of money to buy an astonishing amount of weapons and equipment from the Sylvan elves of the neighboring woodland kingdom.
It was used to arm the convoy that had developed over the years.
Fortunately, in the past three years, the northern dragon Smaug seems to have disappeared.
But the fame of another, more terrifying blue dragon spreads wider, and the power under its command grows more and more powerful.
With such a neighbor here, it naturally makes the people of Changhu Town feel faintly uneasy.
However, three years ago, the blue dragon broke the precious black arrow from Lord Giryan's hands and destroyed the Arrow Tower.
It has never appeared in the sky above Changhu Town, but it has made many residents of Changhu Town feel a lot more at ease.
But this kind of self-comforting relief came to an abrupt end half a month ago.
Their neighbors, the blue dragons who occupy the underground kingdom of Irub, with their blue tyrants and blue scourges,
Without warning, he brazenly sent troops to attack the Dwarven Iron Hills Kingdom.
Although the strength of the Iron Hills Kingdom is strong, the dwarven king Dann II. Iron feet are even more extraordinary,
It was a reputation for fighting with orcs at the eastern gate of Moria, in the 'Battle of Athanubissa'.
But just when the major forces in the entire Middle-earth Continent were preparing to watch the fire from the other side, they were happy to see and eat melons.
It only took one day.
The blue dragon that occupied Irubor easily defeated the elite army of the Iron Hills Kingdom.
Dwarven King Dann II. Iron Foot was killed on the spot.
Such a result not only shocked the forces of all parties, but also shocked and angered all parties.
The shock was because of the strength of the blue dragon and the army of monsters.
And the anger is because of the blue dragon's unruly and undeclared war: the other party can make a move against the Iron Hills Kingdom this time, and it is very likely that it will be his turn next time.
It is also in this situation that
As the Lord of Long Lake, Giryan actively accepted the invitation from Rivendell.
The Elven Lord's proposal of the Elven Lord of Rivendell to 'besiege the dragons by the Six-Party Alliance' was even more approved by Giryan.
So after deciding on the battle plan against the dragon.
Ji Ruian, who rushed back to Changhu Town, was in full swing to prepare.
......
At this time, in the middle of Changhu Town,
In front of a two-storey fine wooden house.
'Bang bang bang...! ’
'Bang bang bang...! ’
There was a quick knock on the door, one after another.
"Maury, go open the door."
There was a voice from upstairs.
"Got it, father."
Downstairs, Maury hurriedly put down the things in his hand and walked briskly towards the door.
"It's coming, it's coming."
'Click'
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with an eager face stood in front of it.
"Uncle Polly?" Maury spoke.
"Is your father at home?" The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"Yes, my father is upstairs." Maury continued.
"It's good to be here, I don't need you to call me, I have something urgent to find the lord."
The middle-aged man walked into the room and strode towards the second floor.
Soon, the middle-aged man saw Lord Girian busy on the second floor.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
"Just got word from the town of Long Lake that Irub's dragon has sent troops?"
The middle-aged man strode up to Ji Ruian and said eagerly.
"What's going on?"
"Be clear!"
Hearing Polly's voice, Girian immediately put down the busy things in his hand and turned his head with a serious face.
"Irub's dragon has gone on again."
"This is the news we just received from the town of Long Lake."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man hurriedly took out a letter from his body and handed it to Lord Jirian in front of him.
"When did this happen?"
Ji Ruian took the letter, quickly swept the handwriting on the letter, and immediately spoke.
"Not long ago, as soon as I received this letter, I came to my lord."
The middle-aged man panted.
"Let's go!"
Ji Ruian looked at the letter in his hand with a serious face, and after a little silence, he strode downstairs.
"Your Excellency, did you say that the dragon was coming at us?"
The middle-aged man strode after Giryan from behind and asked.
"It's very likely."
"Polly, don't forget, we weren't the only ones who went to Rivendell, the elven capital, last time."
"With such a big movement, as long as you have the heart, you can detect that something is wrong."
"You must know that the mayor of Riverdale has long since become the lackey of the dragon."
"What's more, in this vicinity, apart from River Valley Town, what other place can be closer to Lonely Mountain than our Changhu Town?"
Giryan didn't stop walking and said in a deep voice.
"I just didn't expect that the other party had just finished the war against Iron Hills more than half a month ago."
"Dare to start another war right away."
"By the way, Polly, did you inform the Woodland Kingdom of the dragon's movements?"
Thinking of this, Giryan immediately stopped and asked Polly behind him.
"This, not yet, as soon as I received the news, I came to the lord as soon as possible."
"Then let's go, and inform the elves of the woodland kingdom first."
"Then assemble the convoy and deal with the dragon's monster army!"
After saying that, Giryan hurried to the center of the escort with Polly.
Next, as the news of the dragon's attack from Riverdale Town spreads,
The town of Changhu immediately activated emergency response measures.
In addition to the original convoy of more than 5,000 people,
Adult men among the countless residents of Changhu Town began to put on weapons and armor.
The long sword at his waist was sharpened, and the basket on his back was full of arrows.
Next to the three large crossbow platforms,
It was also a pile of slender and sharp giant iron crossbow arrows with a black glow.
The original two black arrows that had been broken by the blue dragon could no longer be recovered.
These are crossbow arrows that are modeled after black arrows, specially created to deal with dragons.
Girian and the rest of the residents of Long Lake believed it.
As long as the original northern dragon Smaug dares to come to Changhu Town to seek revenge.
You must let the other party have no return.
I just waited three years, not for the dragon of Smaug.
This time, however, there is a high probability that another more powerful blue dragon will be waiting!
So under the arrangement of Giryan, a large number of children, old and young women have been arranged to move to other places.
All the convoys and militia are ready.
Now wait for the famous blue dragon,
and the army of murderous, notorious monsters under the command of the other party has arrived.
Minutes and seconds passed.
When the sun in the sky slowly moves directly above your head.
In the sight of everyone in Changhu Town, on the other side of Changhu Lake, on the edge of the long lake overgrown with lush weeds and thorns.
Suddenly a black horizon line appeared,
Gradually, the horizon is getting clearer and clearer,
Soon, a heavily armed black army appeared on the shore of the long lake on the opposite shore in the distance.
"Damn, it's really coming for our Changhu Town!"
Ji Ruian tightened the long sword in his hand and said through some gritted teeth.
At this time, Mori, who had become an adult last year, was standing beside his father in armor, with a short sword pinned to his waist, and a longbow in his hand.
Looking at the endless black oppressive army in the distance, he said softly with some uneasiness:
"Father... Can we really beat each other? ”
"Of course, Maury!"
"Maury, know that our allies, the powerful Elves of the Woodland Kingdom, are already on their way to help."
"And now that we have a big crossbow machine, and we have sharp crossbow arrows, we don't have to fear dragons anymore."
"So, don't worry, Maury, we'll be able to defeat the monsters on the other side!"
Ji Ruian turned his head and looked at his son, who was already as tall as himself, and said seriously.
"Hmm!"
looked at his son Morri, and slowly became firm.
Giryan looked at the blackened army in the distance,
On his calm face, he was deeply jealous and helpless.
Although he repeatedly insisted in front of the guards and the residents of Long Lake that dragons were not terrifying.
But what can be done then, the town of Long Lake has been their home for generations.
This home had been destroyed once three years ago.
On that occasion, many residents of Changhu lost their lives.
Even those who survived lost most of their life savings and loved ones.
Three years later, disaster returned,
The town of Changhu, which was finally reborn from destruction,
You can only resist desperately!
Otherwise, what awaits Long Lake will be utter destruction.
It's like the kingdom of Iron Hills, which has been reduced to ashes, forever turned into the dust of history.
......
Watch as an army of monsters rumored to be more ferocious and notorious than orcs actually appears in front of you.
The guards and militiamen of Changhu Town still had a slight commotion.
At this time, Ji Ruian, who noticed the strangeness under his command, immediately took a big step forward,
stepped on a high platform, stood in front of the whole team, and said loudly:
"Dragons aren't scary, three years ago, we had nothing and we could still seriously injure dragons!"
"Three years later, we are fully prepared, this time we will not only seriously injure the dragon, we will also slay the dragon!"
"You see, the blue dragon didn't appear."
"I'm telling you, you're scared away by our crossbow!"
"Without the dragon's monster army, they are vulnerable!"
Girion's voice echoed in front of the entire army of Long Lake.
With Giryan's words, many escorts and militiamen noticed,
The blue dragon really didn't seem to be in the army on the other side, as Lord Girian had said.
There is no rumor in Middle-earth that dragons can transform into humans.
"Was that dragon really scared off by our crossbow?"
"Otherwise, the blue dragon that appears in every war, why didn't it appear this time!"
That's pretty much what everyone on the field thinks at this time.
Accompanied by such thoughts,
In the hearts of the escort army and the militia, an inexplicable momentum suddenly rose.
Then
'Oooo ’
'Oooo ’
A deafening scream,
It was also accompanied by an army of monsters that were getting closer and closer in the distance, and it quickly passed over.
Girion immediately jumped off the platform, drew his sword, and shouted:
"Archers, listen to me!"
As soon as the words fell, the archers standing at the back of the entire team immediately opened their bows and arrows.
"Whoa, whoa!"
"Ready... Shoot! ”
Giryan watched as the army of monsters in front of him came into range and swung his sword with all his might.
'Whoosh swish, swish, skinny, swish! ’
In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows in the sky was above the dense army of monsters.
'Bang bang! ’
Suddenly, in the dense army of monsters, several unlucky eggs who were shot by random arrows immediately fell to the ground.
But most of the arrows were almost all shot at the armor around the monsters, and they crackled and crackled!
The scene of this wave of arrows is amazing, but the effect is not very good.
It's not even as many monsters as those who fell to the ground and fell to the ground with too close a trail behind them.
'Aang...! ’
'Aang...! ’
'Aang...! ’
At this moment, the sound of a high horn came from behind the monster army.
This is a signal for an all-out offensive!
Giryan was not surprised to see that the rain of arrows had done little damage.
Against an army whose whole body is wrapped in an iron bucket, the bow and arrow are used to create chaos for the enemy's charging army.
'Oooo ’
The monster army is approaching.
Looking at the front of him, the leading monster with a very amazing momentum!
"Abandon the arrow!"
Girion yelled again with a serious face,
'Whoa, whoa, whoa! ’
The archers in the back row immediately threw away their longbows and replaced them with swords.
'Whoa, whoa! ’
Closer, closer!
Ji Ruian immediately raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted with a hideous face:
"Kill !!"
A sound fell,
The human army of Long Lake Town rushed forward with Lord Giryan.
'Bang bang! ’
At this moment, the earthquake trembled, and the flesh and blood flew,
The army of black monsters and the white army of humans in Long Lake Town finally collided together. 8)
