Chapter 9: The Bloody Cave

Running fast all the way, the elite banshee soon returned to the dungeon.

"My lord, I've found their hiding place" The Elite Banshee ran into the council hall covered in blood, reporting to Garnier on the throne.

"Found the place! It's good, but how did you get it like this," Garnier asked strangely at first with a smile, then at the look of the elite banshee.

"Lord Lord, that's right, I followed the orc troops all the way, and they didn't find it, until I found their lair, a cave that didn't exist before, I wanted to enter and check it, but I didn't expect that it was heavily guarded, and it was discovered by the guarded orcs, so they chased and killed it all the way, and they didn't return until I ran out of the passage," the elite banshee said with a sigh of trepidation.

"A cave that didn't exist before? Is it the new space that has appeared in the underworld? Garnier listened to the report of the elite banshee, told him to go down and rest, and sat quietly on the throne alone, lost in thought.

At the same time, Jin Tao was not idle, and began to renovate the cave for resting to make it more suitable for fighting.

First of all, the passage of the cave was renovated, so that it started from the entrance, and slowly widened, until it could accommodate five people side by side, and the entire passage was more than 300 meters long, curved, in order to allow more troops to enter it.

After the passage, there is a wide hall, from the passage towards the hall, you will find that the hall is very wide, but not deep, in a corner of the hall, a strange building appeared there, this is the ogre's lair made by Jin Tao.

The height of the entire cave was designed by Jin Tao to be two meters, which was used to limit the Harpy's ability to fly.

After some consideration, Garnier decided to go to the cave that had suddenly appeared.

The entire dungeon, at Garnier's orders, came alive, and bands of cavemen and hellsbergers emerged from all over the castle and assembled in the open space in front of the city gates. Groups of harpys flew up the walls, quietly waiting for orders.

"Departure" Looking at the more than 2,000 units of troops in front of him, Garnier was proud for a while, this is the power of wisdom.

The mighty dungeon army marched towards the cave where Jin Tao and they were.

"My lord, that cave is in the passage ahead," the elite banshee who led the way said, pointing to the passage ahead, towards Garnier.

"This passage, there really wasn't a cave before, it seems that it should be a space that has just expanded in the underground world. Maybe there's a biological nest inside," Garnier muttered.

"Go first to a team of 100 cave people, and send ten harpies at the same time, responsible for checking if there are any biological nests inside, and if you find anything, come back and report immediately" Looking at the cave in front of him, Garnier was quite cautious.

As the caveman and the harpy entered, there was an eerie silence throughout the passage.

Time passed little by little, and there was no movement in the cave, and just as Garnier was a little impatient and was about to continue to send people into the investigation, a harpy ran out in embarrassment, only to see that he was covered in blood and one of his wings had been broken.

"Lord Lord, there is a creature lair inside, but the orc troops are guarding there, so we can't get close" The Harpy saw Garnier, and without waiting for an inquiry, she quickly told her findings.

Sou......

As soon as the harpy finished speaking, a throwing axe hit him in the head, and the harpy fell to the ground in an instant.

Looking at the dead harpy, a group of cavemen immediately stepped forward and surrounded Garnier in the middle to avoid being attacked.

"There really is a creature nest, I order, give me all the attacks, you must take here" Garnier was excited, a fourth-order creature lair, even if all the troops are exhausted, as long as you can get it, it is worth it.

Bands of cavemen began to enter the cavern and attacked inside.

"Everyone get ready, wait for the enemy to get the news, launch an attack on us, after the battle begins, all those who are seriously injured and disabled will quit the battle for me, and rest in the back" Jin Tao deliberately let go of a harpy, and at the same time let the orc leader follow, and gave him the order that as long as the harpy said that there was a nest behind him in the cave, he would immediately kill the other party, and then return.

Jin Tao did this, on the one hand, because he was afraid that Garnier would continue to ask and find out that something was wrong, and on the other hand, it was also to show that there were secrets in the cave, so he kept chasing and killing the illusion of the harpy.

Sure enough, not long after Jin Tao's order was given, there was movement in the passage, and then one by one the cave people appeared.

"Attack"

With Jin Tao's order, a team of thirty units of big-eared monsters rushed up, surrounded the five cavemen who had just come out of the passage, and went down with a hammer, and the five cavemen were killed before they could make any reaction.

This is also one of the reasons why Jin Tao designed the passage in this way, forming a local superior force and reducing the number of his own casualties, after all, the troops in the dungeon are five or six times as many as on his side.

The half-orc team standing in the hall did not shoot at this time, their ammunition is limited, and it takes a minute to recover one, and they are destined to only shoot at critical moments, such as blocking the enemy's team The physical consumption is too large, and when they need to change people, they need the half-orc's long-range attack to suppress the opponent to buy time, and when the blocking team encounters danger, they also need their long-range attack to relieve the pressure.

The battle continued, with teams of big-eared monsters going up, and teams of them retreating to rest, and from time to time there were some big-eared monsters that were seriously injured and bloodied, quitting the battle sequence and sitting in the open space behind the orcs to rest.

Slowly, the troops responsible for the blocking mission became the big-eared monster king, and then the wolf fighter led the wolf knight to the front line of the battle.

Jin Tao himself also joined the battle sequence from time to time to help the blocking troops hold out longer, and at the same time to buy more rest time for those squads who retreated to rest.

The battle lasted for two hours, and at this time, on Jin Tao's side, the troops with sufficient physical strength and able to fight were only ten units of wolf fighters and half-orcs who had been responsible for long-range attacks.

Most of the other troops are in a state of serious injuries and crippled blood, and basically as long as they are attacked, they will be killed in seconds. This part of the troops, unless absolutely necessary, Jin Tao will not use it.

There is also a small part, the health value is quite sufficient, but the physical strength has been completely exhausted, and the real combat power is still inferior to those soldiers with residual blood.

In the two-hour battle, there were only three or five big-eared monsters on Jin Tao's side, and when the remnants of blood retreated, they were attacked by the other party, causing casualties.

"Now there are less than a hundred Harpys left, the half-orcs are ready to attack with all their might, and when the axe is used up, give me up for hand-to-hand combat" Watching the cave man in the passage disappear and be replaced by a flightless Harpy, Jin Tao knew that he was not far from victory.

The battle at this moment is extremely tragic, the Harpy Banshee, who has lost the ability to fly, although the means of attack are missing, but the second-order rank brings them high damage, and every attack can take away a lot of life points from the wolf fighter.

As the half-orc's axe was consumed and entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, new casualties finally began to appear on Jin Tao's side.

A wolf fighter, just killed the harpy in front of him, was pounced on by a jumping harpy, and then was divided by the enemy who rushed up, the loyal wolf, seeing that his master was killed, bit the harpy's neck, and after killing it, also followed in the footsteps of its master.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The shouting stopped, only a big breath was left in the cave, Jin Tao also sat on the ground tiredly, and then got up again, using the ability to build a nest, sealed the passage, and then lay on the ground to rest.

"What's going on? What's going on with the dead end? Where did my troops go? Garnier, who had been waiting outside the cave for more than two hours, finally couldn't wait any longer, and entered the cave with the elite banshees and the ten harpys as guards.

In the winding passage, Garnier and his party came to the end of the passage, looking at the passage of a dead end, Garnier knew that he had been fooled, and unwillingly knocked around, and after finding nothing, he returned to the dungeon unwillingly.
