Chapter 660: Impregnable

Chapter 660: Impregnable

Located in the northern part of Hammondal, the White Cliff Pass, which holds the road from Hammondale to the Forests of Tural and the Diya region, is undoubtedly a very dangerous pass.

The Hammondale region is a huge valley surrounded by mountains, and these mountains are so steep that they are not only of astonishing height, but also of knife-cutting cliffs, in which only the most experienced hunters of the region can find a dangerous path to climb these mountains, and it is worth mentioning that even then, these old hunters would not normally dare to attempt to climb these mountains.

But these trails are not the only ones in the mountains, otherwise the Hammondale region would be cut off from the rest of the world, and a large number of roads connect Hammondale to the rest of the continent, from where one can go east into the Ofer region, west to the Tethalian Marshes, south to the Erathian Empire and Baildes, and to the north, to the Turalleon Forest and the Diya region.

Because of these roads, the Hammondale area has become one of the few transportation hubs on the mainland, but these roads are not in good condition, because most of them are in the mountains, undulating and rugged are not unusual, and in winter, if the snow is a little heavier, the roads will even be interrupted due to heavy snow closures.

After Catherine established the sovereignty of the Erathian Empire in the Hammondale region, she strongly supported Chen Jian in running the local area, and on the other hand, she did not forget to repair the roads, and at the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the Hammondale area, she built two military facilities at the key points of these roads.

One is Fort Werning, at the intersection of many roads, and the other is the White Cliff Pass on the road leading to the forests of Tula Leone and the region of Diya.

Of all the roads in the Hammondale area, this one is not the most rugged of the roads leading to the Tulaone Forest and the Diya area, on the contrary, it is much easier to walk, but it has the characteristic that on either side of one section of the road are the steep and formidable high cliffs.

Baiya Pass is built on such a location.

Catherine took advantage of the terrain to build two strong and tall walls in the middle of the road, turning it into a natural military fortress, and at the same time, she also built numerous defensive structures on the cliffs on both sides of the road, in which the soldiers stationed there could snipe at the enemies who tried to attack the White Cliff Pass from the air, and even condescendingly to attack the enemies below.

Strictly speaking, it is not very appropriate to describe Baiya Pass as a pass, because the two walls built by Catherine are not walls in the traditional sense.

Rather than two city walls, there are two small, fully functional military fortresses, arrow towers, watchtowers, griffon houses, and stables, all of which are remarkable military facilities in the style of the Erathian Empire.

Moreover, these two small military fortresses can still be used independently, and can be defended in both directions, which means that no matter which direction the enemy attacks, even if they can successfully break through one of the fortresses, the other fortress will still block their path.

This design allowed the White Cliff Pass to last longer in the middle of the war, and anyone who tried to break through it would have to face the double defense of the defenders, and if they didn't move fast enough, the White Cliff Pass could quickly be supported by garrisons from other surrounding areas.

Catherine had hoped that through such a design, the White Cliff Pass would become an important gateway to the northern part of the empire, but she may not have imagined that since the White Cliff Pass was built, the fortress she carefully designed and built has not been able to play its due role.

With the power of the Doomsday Blade, the help of the Forest Dragons, and the emptiness of the defenders, the Farouk army successfully attacked the White Cliff Pass and slaughtered the local Erathian army, who were unprepared for the Doomsday Blade attack.

After the defeat of the Farouk army, without waiting for the Erathian army to recapture the White Cliff Pass, Farouk, who fled for his life, gave it to the Elven Kingdom, which was originally relied on by the Erathian Army to resist the Elven Kingdom army, but it became the biggest obstacle to the Erathian Army from driving the elves back to the forest, because the danger of the White Cliff Pass was the same for the Erathian Army attacking from the direction of Hammondal.

In the subsequent battles, the Erathian army recaptured the White Cliff Pass twice, but failed to finally hold it, and the White Cliff Pass is still in the hands of the Elven Kingdom.

It has changed hands several times, although the White Cliff Pass is dilapidated, but it is still dangerous, and the former owner has increased this place to varying degrees according to his own ideas, making it more and more easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Now, Kailin, who is advancing by retreating, has devoted great efforts to the White Cliff Pass, she repairs and strengthens the White Cliff Pass, and on the cliffs on both sides of the road, in addition to the various fortifications built by the original Erathian Empire, she has let the forest dwarves dig many interconnected caves on it, and a large number of elven archers and magicians are stationed in it, these elven archers and elven magicians can rely on the height advantage to be able to get close to the walls of the White Cliff Pass before the enemy can approach the walls of the White Cliff Pass, Effectively launch powerful ranged attacks on enemies.

On the ground, Kailin also put a lot of thought into it, the two city walls, or the open space between the two fortresses, have erected countless simple but special treatments on the top of the tent that are strong enough to resist the magic attack of the Doomsday Blade, and on the mountain walls on both sides, there are also many caves dug out of the army, once there is any sign of the enemy attacking with the Doomsday Blade, the army of the Elven Kingdom will immediately use these facilities to protect themselves.

The two fortresses have also undergone many transformations by Kailin, one of the biggest features is the increase in the shooting holes on the city wall, a large number of trebuchets and giant crossbows are placed on the top of the fortress, and they are also well protected against the attack of the Doom Blade, although the army of the Elven Kingdom has suffered enough from the Doom Blade, but they have also learned how to effectively deal with the attack of the Doom Blade in defensive battles, the Entagri Empire is said to have the same attack methods as the Doom Blade, of course they will not be taken lightly.

In terms of air defense, there are forest dragons, Kailin is also full of confidence, the forest dragons love the most, is to live in the caves above the cliff, the lair of the forest dragons, the Elry dragon cliff, is a towering cliff in the dense forest, and the dragon's lair is all over it.

Therefore, these two mountain walls of Baiya Pass are facing the appetite of the golden dragons and green dragons who came to help the elf king**, and the forest dragon clan also exists in the Farouk army, during the occupation of the White Cliff Pass by the Farouk army, they have built a large number of dragon dens on the mountain walls, and now the elf kingdom army has taken over here, and those dragon dens are naturally convenient for the dragons in the elf king**.

Of course, no matter how dangerous the White Cliff Pass is, it is not large after all, and it is impossible to accommodate all of Kailin's troops, for the sake of insurance, Kailin will station her main force somewhere in the direction of the White Cliff Pass towards the Turalian Forest, which is very close to the White Cliff Pass, once there is a war, this Elf King ** team will be able to rush to the White Cliff Pass for reinforcements in a very short time.

This time, Kailin, who was fully defending the White Cliff Pass, was full of confidence, she believed that she would not be like the previous two times, let the Erathia Army take the White Cliff Pass away from her hands, she thought that the previous defeat was because her forces were too scattered and not concentrated enough, this time, her main force, her elite, but gathered in the White Cliff Pass, she was sure that no matter who attacked, she could make the other party understand what it meant to be futile.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Kailin also learned from Inheim's method and sent an army to induce combat against all the undead creatures who approached the White Cliff Pass, in this regard, the elven king**, whose air power is stronger than that of the Erathian army, is obviously doing better, the speed of the forest dragon clan and the silver Pegasus knight is fast, which is enough for them to easily get rid of each other after successfully attracting the attention of the undead creatures.

Kailin even tried to lure the undead creatures back to Bairders or lead them to the direction where the Erathian army was, but she couldn't master the trick of it, of course, she did half the work in this matter, and after trying a few times, she found that the effect was not good, but it also lost some manpower, and thought that neither the Entagre army nor the Erathian army would sit idly by and ignore this, so she simply gave up, but every day she regularly sent a force of air mages protected by the forest dragon and the silver Pegasus knight, Remove undead creatures near White Cliff Pass with a magic attack.

With the White Cliff Pass as a barrier, compared to the Erathian army that was struggling with the undead creatures in the wild, the Elven King** team led by Kailin was undoubtedly much easier, and the Entagre Army did not make any unusual moves towards the Hammondale region after triggering the second wave of undead, but instead sent people and horses to start tinkering with something on the site of the stone castle in Bairders, and many soldiers of the Elven King** team began to relax, Instead of being suspicious and nervous like their commander, Lord Kailin, who would go up to the city walls from time to time to take a look at the distance, and sent a large number of scouts to venture through the blockade of the undead creatures to investigate the movements of the Entagrean army in Bairders.

The soldiers don't have such a good strategic vision, and for them, who have become exhausted from the continuous fighting, now is a rare good time for them, because they can stay in or after the White Cliff Pass, and have a good rest.

Vigros, the elven archer, is now in a relaxed state of mind, with a handsome face peculiar to the elves, and the blonde Vigros is now stationed in a cave on the cliffs of the White Cliff Pass, although he feels a little helpless to stay in this kind of environment that only dwarves and dragons like, but he is still quite happy that he can finally be lazy in such a place after such a long battle.

To his delight, he was promoted to a petty leader because of his heroism on the battlefield, noticed by a general above him, and now he had more than twenty men at his disposal, all of them Elven archers, who were stationed in the cavern that was used as an arrow tower, along with Vigros.

The days of stationing in the cave are undoubtedly quite easy, the appearance of the undead creatures makes the Erathian army tired now, and they can no longer take care of the elves in the White Cliff Pass, and in Vigros's eyes, those stupid and stupid undead creatures can't take the White Cliff Pass, if there is no one to command, their siege operation can only be a joke, once, Vigros saw that these undead creatures didn't know which way they were crazy, and they swarmed towards the direction of the White Cliff Pass, but they were blocked by the walls of the White Cliff Pass, Standing stupidly under the city walls and being a target for elven archers and magicians to practice their craft.

However, those ghosts in the sky made Vigros very nervous for a while, he stood high and saw far away, so he clearly saw how amazing the number of ghosts in the black pressure was, but soon, these ghosts were managed to open by the dragon and the silver Pegasus knight sent by Lord Kailin, and did not pose any threat to the White Cliff Pass.

Since then, Vigros has completely settled down, every day, he arranges for people to take turns on duty in the cave, and when he is in the mood, he chats and farts with his subordinates in the cave, or runs to the camp of those silver Pegasus knights in the White Cliff Pass, finds a friend of his who has become a silver Pegasus knight, and asks him how to better control the silver Pegasus in the air - become a silver Pegasus knight who can ride a silver Pegasus soaring above the blue sky on behalf of the elite status, It has always been Vigros's greatest wish, he is preparing to sign up for the assessment of the Silver Pegasus Knight after the end of this war, he is very confident in his archery and knife skills, the only thing he is not sure of is the control of the silver Pegasus, because he is not from a noble background, he really does not have many opportunities to practice riding the silver Pegasus.

When he was in a bad mood, Vigros would stay in that cave and eat and drink, anyway, there were few people from above here to come and inspect, because there were too many caves of this type on the mountain wall, and it was impossible for the top to keep an eye on this place all the time, and they had more important things to worry about, so Vigros was not worried at all, and the sufficient supplies in the White Cliff Pass were not comparable to those in the front-line battle, so he was happy to eat.

As a result, for some time, in addition to the large-scale commotion of undead creatures, there was only a small group of blinding ghosts who somehow broke into the air defense circle of White Cliff Pass, allowing Vigros and a group of elven archers to show off their excellent archery skills, and shoot these annoying undead monsters into the dust one by one with a dense rain of arrows.

But after a while, Vigros's mood began to deteriorate again, he was an idle character, he was at a loss for a long time in the dark caves, and the dense roar of the undead creatures in the distance all day and night was also very disturbing, and more importantly, Vigros could not see when this war would end.

From the beginning of Farouk's rebellion, until now, Vigros has been fighting, he is a little tired, in this war that I don't know how long it will last, he has lost many friends and relatives, he hates Farouk's gang of traitors, and he hates those dwarves and centaurs who always do things in a disobedient way, he hopes that the elven kingdom can win the war, but he wants to live a few days in peace, he misses his comfortable tree house in the forest of Turalea, he misses his family, I miss the lovely elf girl who lives across from him even more, but the war keeps him away from all this, and when there was no war before, he can still go home from time to time to see, and the war is together, and there is no hope at all.

He hated the war.

He was even a little worried about whether he would survive until the end of the war.

On the battlefield, he had seen how terrifying the Doomblade of the Farouk rebels was, but he narrowly escaped and witnessed the hellish scene; He had personally experienced how oppressive his own archery skills were on the battlefield, and the archers of the Farouk rebels were no worse than the archers of the Elven King's ** team, even the human archers among them could shoot arrows as fast and accurate as the elves, and the rain of arrows that had always been poured into the heads of the enemy by Vigros in the past fell on their own heads this time; If there were dragons in the sky, Vigros would no longer be as elated as before, because he had to distinguish whether the dragons belonged to his own army or the rebels, and this was not an easy task, the dragons did not have any signs on them to indicate their position, and many times, only when these behemoths attacked, Vigros and they could determine whether the opponent was friend or foe according to the target of the opponent's attack.

Then the rebels were defeated and fled, and the Erathian army reappeared, and the former allies were now enemies, and then the two sides fought to the death in the Hammondale area.

So Vigros, who had fought side by side with the soldiers of the Erathia Army in the last war, was fortunate to witness the strength of the Erathia Army from another perspective this time.

Needless to say, those strong angel warriors have no choice but to flee in the wilderness when they encounter such an opponent, and the Elasia knights who launched a cluster charge are not easy to mess with, and all the enemies who dare to stand in front of them will not end up so well, and on several occasions, Vigros almost died under the opponent's spears and horses' hooves; There are also the magical attacks of those hordes of imperial priests, the fierce martial arts of the crusaders also made Vigros's head very big, the ferocious griffins also made Vigros almost die on the spot, and those Erathia crossbowmen, although their bursting heavy crossbows are more powerful than Vigros in terms of rate of fire, they are more amazing in power, and the two sides shoot in clusters, Vigros and they don't have too much advantage.

But Vigros survived all this, and sometimes in retrospect, Vigros himself felt that he was really fatal, so he didn't even die, you know, most of the soldiers who fought with him have now turned into cold corpses on the battlefield.

Vigros didn't know what kind of enemies he would face next, but now there were more undead creatures, and maybe Negans and Neganrons next.

Those from the Ntagari Empire of the Negans and the Negansaurus.

There might even be the Cregans, and the Hill Dwarves, and Vigros had heard that the army of the Entagre Empire included soldiers of almost all races on the continent.

If this was true, Vigros felt that if he could survive the war, he might be able to try to write a book about how soldiers of all races fought on the battlefield on the continent, and his writing was always good.

But although Vigros had anticipated all the possible scenarios, he had never expected that his battle with the Entagrean army on the battlefield would come so quickly.

That night, Vigros tossed and turned in the cave with a full stomach and couldn't sleep, and after finding that it was a futile thing to force himself to sleep, and his head was like a spinning top that could not be stopped, he simply got up and let the soldiers on duty at night rest, but he ran to the wooden platform outside the cave and kept vigil himself.

At this time, it was autumn, the night wind was already very strong, Vigros was in a high position, and the clothes on his body were still relatively thin, the wind was blowing on his body, and he had already begun to have a few chills, Vigros tightened the cloak on his body, and looked around, he found that the White Cliff Pass at night was actually not quiet, and it was even a little lively, this was because of Lord Kailin's caution, she had been very worried that someone would sneak attack the White Cliff Pass at night, and every night, she would arrange a large number of people to be on duty on the city wall, And on the city wall and in the open space outside the city wall, many huge fires were lit for lighting, and the light fire of the magicians also floated in mid-air, making the area around the White Cliff Pass as bright as day, there were many soldiers guarding the city wall, and there were patrols composed of silver Pegasus knights and dragons in the sky, although the entire White Cliff Pass was not full of people at night, but it was by no means quiet, and the strange cries of undead creatures were heard from time to time in the distance, and there was no night at all.

Vigros was a little tempted to build a fire on the platform to keep warm, but he was worried about whether it would attract scolding from above.

While he was engaged in a psychological struggle, a crisp alarm bell suddenly sounded on the wall of Baiya Pass.

Then the White Cliff Pass, which was not quiet, boiled in an instant.

Vigros was startled by the sound of the alarm bells, and although he couldn't figure out what was happening, he rushed into the cave as fast as he could, beat up all his men, and then began to wait on the platform with the elven longbow.

After a while, Vigros was surprised to find that there seemed to be a huge commotion among the undead creatures in the distance, and then a group of huge figures began to appear in the dark sky in the distance.

The black and red scales and the strong flesh wings all indicate the identity of the other party.
