The dungeon of Komyrya has had two riots in the last six months or so. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first happened eight months ago, in mid-July last year.

According to the follow-up report of the Sacco knights stationed in the cave** on the outskirts of the freshwater lake, the number of faceless people who emerged from the cave** in that riot had at least two thousand or more. At that time, the defenders led by Sacco only had a brigade of 300 people, including some dreaded mercenaries and a small number of regular soldiers trained by Orin. Both of these are decent classes, but they are not very numerous, only half of the soldiers in Sacco's hands, and the remaining half are militia.

Militia recruited from Ghost Knife Harbor.

The Faceless's individual strength is not bad, at least not worse than the Dread Mercenary, nor worse than the soldiers of any regular legion in the human world. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Sacco to lead a brigade of more than two thousand Facelings, half of which is a militia.

However, Sacco guarded the entrance to the cave.

He took 300 men and guarded the entrance of the cave for three days, repelling the enemy's attack, not to mention that his own losses did not exceed 50 people, but the enemy left nearly 200 corpses.

Such a record is a miracle.

And the reason why they were able to play a 'miracle' was not that the soldiers suddenly exploded, but mainly because Sacco's command was more appropriate, and he made good use of the geographical advantage.

The geographical environment here is really special, and the bonus for the defending side is so high that there are no friends. No matter how many troops those Faceless Ones have sent, the caverns that start from the depths and extend to the surface are constantly narrowing. Inside, there may be more than a dozen people walking side by side, and in the back, four or five people can walk side by side. And at the exit position, it's not bad to be able to squeeze out three people at the same time.

Under such circumstances, with spears, bows and arrows, and the time spent stationed here for so long, the fortifications set up along the cave passage were arranged, and after three days of fighting, Sacco was stunned to slaughter fifty faceless men in the face of four or five times as many enemies at the cost of less than fifty men.

Coincidentally, since the underworld has already rioted and thousands of enemies have flocked to the cave exits, it can't happen just once. Obviously, the Faceless Dungeon's must have discovered the surface situation.

In October last year, after a three-month interval between the first underground riot, the second riot came.

This time, the enemy is even more ferocious.

The timing of this second uprising was a headache, just in October, just as the battle of Hindlaire had just begun, and Dane's army was under the siege of Iron Nail Height. However, at this time, there was a fire in the backyard.

The number of Faceless Ones involved in the attack, according to the estimation of the Sacco Knight afterwards, probably reached the number of 10,000. But fortunately, the army he led at that time also had 2,000 people.

Although Sacco's 2,000 men are still dominated by militia, the real main force is less than a mixed force of a brigade. After all, Dane, who was fighting in Sindelaire at the time, couldn't draw too many main men to put in Cormierya, who was supposed to be the big rear.

However, the outcome of this second riot was much the same as the first.

The Facelings had a huge numerical advantage, but they still couldn't break through the dominant defenders, and Sacco relied on the terrain to lay out the defense.

After seven days of fighting, the Faceless Ones had no choice but to retreat after leaving behind a thousand corpses.

By now, Dane himself had basically extinguished the idea of the army swinging underground. Just as it is difficult for the Faceless to reach the surface, it is difficult for Dane's troops to go underground to fight them. Although the Faceless Ones did not arrange defenses in the opposite direction of the cave, and even the reconnaissance force did not seem to be very strong, the underground world was not very wide, and to attack and lay down a Faceless Dungeon with a population of 40,000, Dane did not know how many casualties he would have to pay.

Sombra was valuable, but now that he had a vein of Sombra that had been opened, the demand wasn't that strong - at least not so strong that he was willing to pay tens of thousands of casualties for a fight.

However, it would be a good choice to leave these Faceless Ones to Freya and her clergy.

If Freya knew that she had been labeled as an 'idle egg' in Dane's heart, the arrogant female knight would have exploded. However, she couldn't see through Dane's heart. In fact, the maiden was just as Dane wanted to see, boosting her morale, gathering her ranks, and preparing to enter the underworld that Dane described as 'filled with thousands of monsters corrupted by the power of the old gods'.

She certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to think that with a group of priests, she could purify the underground world where there were a large number of faceless people. If she really thought so, she would have rushed into Cinderellari with the priesthood and sent her to her death. In fact, Miss Knight only planned to enter the underground world to investigate the situation, after all, the information Dane said was too general, and she had to investigate it carefully for herself to come to a reliable conclusion.

……

Three days later, the Cave Guard, who is also the commander of the Cormyrya Garrison, the Sacco Knight, sent news that Freya had passed through the entrance of the cave and entered the underworld with dozens of clergy.

However, at this time, Dane didn't have much of the heart to pay attention to Freya. In any case, the female knight and her clergy can only be regarded as a small episode for Dane. Perhaps, he will be able to use it when fighting demons in the future, but he never expects how much help they can provide.

Now Dane, all his thoughts are on Orinedu, who has been promoted to the fifth level.

The direct manifestation of the Tree of Life's advancement into the Tree of Eternity is surprising enough. During these six days, every resident of Orinedu witnessed the Tree of Life, which was already considered to be extremely large, become thicker and thicker in just six days, and its dark green leaves were gradually smeared with a layer of silvery metallic color.

This silver vein represents eternal power.

The moment Orion completed the upgrade, the surging life force spread widely, and almost every elf rejoiced from the bottom of their hearts.

For Dane, what he values most is that the list of buildings in the realm has been refreshed again.
