"Chapter 425: Griffin Frontier"
The Griffin Empire, a powerful power in the north of the inexplicable continent and the overlord of the Northland, swept through the north with its powerful heavy cavalry troops and griffin legions, and even the orcs on the northern steppes submitted to them, providing the empire with brave orc warriors. Powerful and rich, belligerent and conquering, their empire soars through the sky and looks down on everything in the Griffons' minds, just like their symbols.
But the descriptions in these books are of no use to me, no matter how good the Griffin Empire is, I don't want to be here now! But if you go back, you will definitely encounter Subic's troops, even if you dig a tunnel, it is not safe, and it is still getting farther and farther away from home to the north, which is really annoying.
The digger touched his head in front of me, smiled embarrassedly, and suppressed my anger.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I ignored the change of direction after I came into this world."
The reason of the miner made me very helpless, his view of direction and geography was still retained before the crossing, and he didn't know that his body direction was reversed after the crossing, and he made the lowest mistake.
It's really funny, and the miners themselves are extremely embarrassed. In fact, he has a tribal version of the compass on him, and his years of underground experience also give him a strong sense of direction, and his super geographical self-confidence allows him to start working without any testing, and he is very satisfied with his work efficiency. It turns out that empiricism does make mistakes, and I've seen many examples of this.
As for the griffin Empire soldier who surrendered, after we got enough information from his mouth, we knocked him unconscious, and asked the illusionist to give him a brief brainwash, he would wake up thinking that his troops were wiped out by the Subics, as for the Subic side, I don't care what will happen to them, the fortress of Sakturi is so strong, if you can hold it, you can hold it, if you can't hold it, we will spend it with the Griffon Empire in the south, anyway, I don't have a good impression of the so-called "big brother" of Salondrão.
We have quite a few of us now, and this is a border area, considering that the Griffon Empire has been pressuring Subic recently, there must be quite a few griffon patrols and camps in this area, and we must find a safe way to go back.
Of course, at this time, it is still up to the miners to dig in the ground, change the position and continue digging, avoid the fortress of Sakturi, dig back directly, and stay underground for a few more hours.
After we had discussed it, we immediately began to move towards the no-man's land that the soldier had just mentioned, which was a pile of rubble at the junction of the territories of the two sides, which had no use value, and even wild goats did not want to go there, so the two sides set up defensive lines across the place, and the rocks became a place that neither side wanted to set foot in, and it was very suitable for us to escape from there.
We didn't ride horses, we still walked cautiously, and if it wasn't for the inaccurate positioning, we would have liked to go underground. The Digger's abilities are so useful, and I'm now in love with the way I move underground.
It took us about two kilometers for an hour, and along the way we met several waves of griffon patrols and a subic smuggler, and of course, in order to keep it a secret, we used some not-so-good means to keep them out of the world, or to leave the world altogether. However, it also reminds me to act quickly, otherwise the other patrols will definitely take action if they find these inexplicable teammates.
........
I finally saw the rocky area, which was desolate except for white rocks everywhere and a few viable weeds.
This area spread out for about a kilometer, and beyond that, in both the north and south directions, there were large and well-guarded troops. Our goal is to dig through the ground on Subic's side and then rush all the way to the south, within our control.
However, when the miner lifted the shovel, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before I could stop him, the miner's shovel also stopped in mid-air, and his expression changed a little.
"My lord, there's magic detection here."
The miner tapped lightly on the ground, pointing in the direction of Subic, and then in the direction of the Griffon Empire to the north.
"From here to there, there's a huge magic trap that triggers as soon as I push hard. This trap was set up by a very strong person, and it may not have worked for me, but you can be a different matter, my lord. ”
The miner's words made me feel a kind of unease that I had never felt before, a feeling of falling into a conspiracy and a trap, as if someone was watching me from the sky, watching me walk into their trap and then into their trap for them to slaughter.
I knew that the plan had already been guessed, so I immediately ordered to get out of here, as quickly as possible. The miners can suppress this magic trap, but our whereabouts may still be revealed.
We hadn't gone far before a dozen griffons flew out of the tent on the other side of the Griffin Empire, heading straight for us.
At this time, we haven't left the range of the trap, and the miners can't destroy the trap yet, so we can only run as fast as we can, and if we can't do it, we can run out of the trap and fight with them.
However, there was movement on Subic's side, and crossbow arrows and stone projectiles that emitted a flaming aura shot out from outside their camp and landed right on the edge of the trap, which didn't trigger the trap completely, but the magic fluctuations made my steps heavy, and the rest of us except for the miners slowed down a lot.
I never expected that in order to guard against us, the two enemies of the Subic Kingdom and the Griffon Empire, the two enemies from another world, would unite and act so quickly. I don't know how they found out about our plan, they should have intercepted us to the south, but they couldn't have known about the fact that the miners were digging in the wrong direction? With such a large-scale magic trap, they couldn't have done it in such a short period of time.
I really don't understand, I don't understand how we could be found out by them and ambushed by them. But the reality is that the griffons are getting closer and closer, and the Imperial army is starting to move. Subic sent out most of the soldiers stationed on that line, and all of them came for us.
Either way, we're going to have to get tough.
