Chapter 820: Night Raid

As we all know, the snow-capped mountain region where the Kingdom of Bracada is located is one of the places with a rather peculiar climate on the Great 6 of Erathia, compared with another place with a peculiar climate, that is, the Tulaone forest that is full of net all year round, the snow-capped mountain area of Bracada has gone to the other extreme, and it is extremely cold all year round, and the ice and snow do not melt.

Living in such a place is undoubtedly a very hard thing, in fact, before the remnants of the Bracadon Empire magicians were led by Magnus to flee here and establish the Bracada mage kingdom, there were few people in this snowy mountain, and if it weren't for the arrival of the magicians, it is likely that it would still be deserted by now.

But now everything is different, as the Magicians of Bracada have established one city after another in this area over the years, the once inaccessible snow-capped mountains have become very lively, the magicians use roads and two-way magic portals to connect the various cities, and have studied the housing structure suitable for living in the cold area, with excellent warmth, the magicians have long adapted to the cold climate, and the snow-capped mountains have become a paradise for the magicians of Bracada.

However, for strategic reasons, the mages built most of their cities in the southern region, which not only borders their sworn enemy, the barbarian kingdom of Krurod, but also borders the mighty Erathian Empire, and the northern region has a treacherous and difficult terrain with difficult roads.

So now, there is a fairly obvious difference between the north and south regions of the Bracada Mage Kingdom, that is, there are many towns and towns in the south, and the population is dense, but in the north, there are mostly purely military castles and fortresses, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only decent big cities in a few important jiaotong nodes.

For a long time, the magicians did not care about the security of the southern part of the kingdom, because the kingdom's unique huge peninsula-like inverted triangle terrain determined that if their enemies wanted to attack the southern part of the kingdom in the 6 places, they must first break the multiple lines of defense set up by the kingdom in the northern region, in the eyes of the magicians, this is completely impossible, and the invasion of the Krurod Kingdom not long ago also fully illustrated this point, although the barbarian army broke through the northern part of the kingdom with an unprecedented fierce attack, but it was difficult to go deeper, and was dragged by the Bracada army in the rolling northern snow-capped mountains, in a dilemma, and finally could only retreat under the huge pressure of the re-formation of the Holy Alliance.

Before the Holy Alliance was re-formed, Magnus was able to have the confidence to fight with the Erathian Empire on the border, and the northern region of the Bracada Kingdom was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was also a very important reason.

But with the rise of the Entagre Empire, with the amazing performance of the sea power and air power of the Entagre Empire, the Bracada magicians have to start paying attention to the defense of the southern region. It also made the Bracada magicians feel a great threat.

Under Magnus's orders, the garrison in the southern region has been increased again and again, and now, the total number of troops deployed by the Bracada Mage Kingdom in the southern region has reached a rather staggering number, but despite this, seeing that the Entagri Empire is getting stronger and stronger, the magicians are still very uneasy.

As a result, all kinds of early warning measures against attacks from the sea began to prevail, the coastal patrol team composed of flying arms patrolled the southern coast day and night, early warning ships disguised as fishing boats to guard the coastal waters, and regularly monitored the sea surface with magical eyes.

But the Entagre army has not appeared, not only that, but even the first fleet of the Entagre Empire, which has successively defeated the navy of the Kingdom of Bracada, the Imperial Navy of Erathia, and the Virates of Rigna, rarely appears in the coastal waters of the Kingdom of Bracada, and the Entagre army has become quite active in 6 places, and the successive victories are dazzling.

After a long time, the Bracada magicians couldn't help but relax, and the Entagre army attacked the Turalone Forest, and they were nervous for a while, but after half a year, they reverted to their old ways, after all, this kind of thousand days of anti-thieves is really too tiring.

After the Holy Alliance's three kingdoms invaded the Krurod Kingdom, the magicians in charge of the coastal defense in the southern region were even more lazy, no one thought that the Ntagri Empire would attack from the sea at such a time, everyone thought that the Ntagri Empire would definitely focus on the war in the Krurod region now.

"They have already been surrounded by the Immortal King and the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire in the northern part of the Krurod Plateau, in order not to be driven away from the Krurod region, they must have been exhausted, where can they have the energy to raid us from the sea again! Besides, the southern part of the kingdom is now heavily armed, and even if they come, we don't have to be afraid! ”

This is a popular argument in the southern part of the Kingdom of Bracada in recent times.

Ismail, the monster magician, is also one of the proponents of this argument.

Ismail, who had been transferred to the south for almost a year since he had been transferred to the south last fall, had been as worried as everyone else about a possible attack by the Ntagri Empire from the sea, but now he thought that the possibility was close to zero.

He felt that no matter what, the Bracada Kingdom, which had an incredible number of magical portals in the southern region, would not be as busy as the Elven Kingdom at the beginning, even if it was attacked by the Entagri Empire from the sea, and theoretically speaking, with the help of those portals, the Bracada army stationed in the southern region should be able to effectively rush to the area that might be attacked at the first time when the enemy attacked.

At the same time, there is another reason why Ismail believes that the Entagrean army will not attack Bracada mainland at the beginning of the war in Krurod, and that is that although the Entagre army has a convenient method of maneuvering such as a one-way portal, it is limited by relying on the water magic master named Tren to make the trip.

No matter how great a person's ability is, it is impossible to appear in two places at the same time, right? Judging from the current situation, the Ntagri Empire, which took the lead in launching operations in the Krurod Kingdom, should pay considerable attention to the war born in the Krurod region, and there was also information that the Ntagri army was using the magic portal to transfer those Krurod who defected to them locally, and on this premise, the Ntagri Empire really had no reason to launch a large-scale attack on Bracada from the sea - although I don't know how to do it, but the reason why the Ntagri Empire was able to transfer a large number of troops from the sea, It must also be the use of the magic portal, which is already recognized by the Bracada magicians, and to use the magic portal, the Entagri Empire is obviously inseparable from that Tren, and Tren, of course, can not effectively take care of two different battlefields at the same time, no matter how strong he is, he also needs time to rest, and he also needs time to recover his magic power, if he reluctantly takes care of two battlefields at the same time, it is very likely to cause a bad situation that the Entagri army wants to use but there is no magic portal available at a critical moment.

And the analysis of the previous battles of the Entagrean army by the Kingdom of Bracada also proves this very well, when the Entagri army raided the Tulaleone forest, the number of times the Entagrean army used the magic portal in the Ofer area was greatly reduced, and even stopped completely for a time, even if the war at that time was so fierce, after the battle of Hamen Gdale started, the number of times the Entagri army used the magic portal in the Tulaleone forest also decreased sharply, which shows that The Entagrean will always use magical portals where they are needed most.

Now, the place where the Entagrean army needs magic portals the most is of course the battlefield of Krurod, although the Entagre army seems to have nonged some portal scrolls from the necromancer, but Ismael doesn't think that the Entagre army will use these hard-won scrolls in a battle that doesn't have much chance of winning.

In the kingdom of Bracada, this perception is already an accepted argument as well.

As a result, Ismail is quite optimistic about the security of the southern part of the kingdom.

On this night, Ismail's mood was a little low, because tonight it was his turn to patrol again, as a god monster, and not the first generation of gods, even if he was an excellent water magic master, his status in the army was not too high, but he was just a middle-level officer, and the treatment was naturally not as good as those Bracada human magicians with noble bloodlines, so he had to be on regular duty like other gods and monster magicians to take patrols to the sea to do early warning work.

Ismail doesn't like this work very much, because he is a monster with an extremely no sense of direction, and there is no reference in the vast sea, which makes him feel very frightened, every time he goes to the sea, he always has to keep looking back to confirm the existence of the coastline to be a little at ease, but even if it is an early warning patrol, then he naturally has to fly farther, if he is just patrolling on the sea surface of the coastline of sight, it is completely meaningless, so Ismail is really afraid of this work.

But in the army, an order is an order, and no matter how reluctant he is, he still has to do what he should do, so Ismail has no choice, and his superiors will not pay attention to the personal problems of a middle-level officer and a second-generation god.

The weather tonight is very bright, the heavy snow that has been falling a few days ago has finally stopped, the thick clouds have dispersed, the moon hangs high in the night sky, the white snow reflects the bright moonlight, making this night extraordinarily bright, in terms of night, the view is excellent, patrolling on such a night, compared with the previous days, it can be said that it is much easier.

Ismail flew into the night sky with a patrol of nearly 100 people, the patrol consisted of gods and gargoyles, including Ismail, who led the team, and there were three gods and monsters magicians.

Flying out not far away, Ismail was used to looking back, the brightly lit military camp was so conspicuous from the night sky, but Ismail's mind was not in this military camp with 40,000 troops, he looked at Genting City not far away, Genting City is one of the well-known big cities on the southern coast of the Bracada Kingdom, because it has a good port, and from time to time there will be merchant ships docking here, so it is also relatively prosperous, and it has 20,000 defenders, After feeling the threat from the sea of the Entagri Empire, the Kingdom of Bracada transferred another army, that is, the army where Ismail was located, was stationed near Genting City, on the one hand, to assist in the defense of Genting City, and on the other hand, to take into account the coastal defense of several surrounding Xiao cities.

Ismail hasn't been to Genting City for a while, some time ago, the Bracada Army's big change of clothes and training for xìng made the Bracada Army busy, and Ismail naturally had no time to spare, but with the outbreak of the Krurod war, he has been empty these days, so he is now wondering if he will ask for a leave of absence after this patrol and go to the city to relax.

This thought made Ismail even more eager to end the patrol as soon as possible, so he ordered to speed up and fly out to sea.

Soon, the Bracada patrol flew away from the 6th place, and as the coastline behind him grew farther and farther away, Ismail suppressed his uneasiness, and then, as usual, let one of his seasoned monster warriors take on the task of guiding.

The patrol route is an isosceles triangle, which allows the patrol team to patrol a fan-shaped area over the sea, and the sea is as calm as ever, until halfway through the trip, there is still no abnormal situation for everyone.

"Boring task!"

Ismael thought so, uneasy at the sight and sense of direction that no longer existed, and bored with the boring task.

"Even if it's a boat!" He was looking forward to it in his heart, but he also knew that this was an unlikely thing, since Erathia Da 6 fought 1uan non-stop, there were obviously fewer ships coming and going in this sea area, and during this time, even half of the ship's shadow could not be seen, but there was also news that those merchant ships that came and went between several big 6 did not actually come to Erathia Da 6 because of Zhan 1uan, but most of them went to Negan to dock and jiaoyi, the powerful sea power of the Entagri Empire, These maritime merchants had to be cautious about this sudden rise of the new empire, and the preferential conditions offered by the Entagri Empire also had great attraction to the maritime merchants.

Turning these 1uan nonsense things in his mind, Ismail couldn't help but be very curious about the Entagri Empire, if it wasn't for the hostility between this empire and the Bracada Kingdom, he really wanted to try to go to this empire to see if the so-called racial equality that this empire has been boasting about is really true, is it true that halflings can have the same status or even higher status as dragons?

As he was thinking about it, the monster warriors in the patrol suddenly moved.

"What's wrong?" Ismail was a little upset, he was thinking about it, but his thoughts were interrupted, he turned back and shouted and asked, but now his subordinates were stopping, pointing at the distance.

"There's something there, Master Ismail!" A monster warrior reported to him.

Ismail suspiciously looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, but saw that something seemed to be appearing on the horizon of the sea and sky in the distance.

"Is it a merchant ship?" Ismail's eyes kept wide open, but due to the distance and the night, he really couldn't see it, "Send someone over and take a look!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that some strange fires were flashing from that direction.

Ismail, who had participated in the last war, instantly began to contract violently after these fires.

Some of the experienced monster warriors in the patrol also exclaimed.

"Kerrigan Demon! It's the Kerrigan Devil! They're teleporting! A god shouted, "It's the Entagrean Army, the Entagrui Army is here!" ”

The patrol team with a small number of people hún1uan, and the sudden change made these Bracada soldiers who were not mentally prepared and thought it was just a simple patrol mission panic.

"Hurry back!" Ismail shouted hoarsely, turned around and fled first, but finally he didn't forget his duty, while fleeing, he hurriedly took out a magic letter teleportation array, ready to warn the troops he belonged to, but his hands trembled so much that he almost didn't give the magic letter teleportation array to nong - the heart of the second generation of gods and monsters that merged with the first generation of gods and monsters and then bred on their own was far inferior to those directly made by magic, The first generation of gods and monsters, whose first priority was to fight and serve mages, was determined, and like other natural races, they were affected by a variety of emotions, including the negative emotions of fear, of course.

To make matters worse, due to the loss of his sense of direction, Ismail fled in the wrong direction, and the rest of the patrol fled in the direction of 6, but he flew in the wrong direction because he ran away first, and after this point, Ismail panicked even more, and his hands naturally shook even more.

So he was stunned for a while, but the warning letter couldn't get out successfully, and his shaking hands seriously affected the normal operation of the magic letter teleportation array, and it couldn't meet the required stable conditions at all.

At this time, using teleportation, the sudden appearance of the Kerrigan demons has already caught up, they ignore the gargoyles in the Bracada Army patrol that were used as abandoned children, but directly caught up with the gods and monsters who were fleeing in a hurry, and then, a completely one-sided slaughter began, the gods and monsters were not the opponents of the Kerrigan demons, not to mention that the Kerrigan demons that attacked this time were far more than the gods and monster warriors in the patrol, soon, They were easily cleaned up by the Legan demons as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.

Ismail was also targeted by the two Archdemons of Kerrigan, seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, Ismail finally gave up the letter teleportation array in his hand, he threw the letter teleportation array away, and then chou took out his magic wand, which he had just received not long ago, and had been installed in the army of gods and monsters who went to the Krurod Kingdom to participate in the war, but it had not yet been installed in the southern coastal garrison to which he belonged, and even ordinary people could use the magic wand at will.

Before one of the archdemons could slash him in two with the scythe, he used the magic staff that sealed the beaded fireball to unleash a large fireball high up in the sky.

It was the only way he could warn at the moment, and he hoped that someone in the Bracada Army would notice the anomalous fireball or feel the corresponding magic flutter.

Before he lost consciousness completely, Ismail watched his bleeding lower body spin and fall in the sky, and then, knowing nothing, the infinite darkness completely engulfed him.
