Chapter 11 - The Interior of the Interior
Fort Mordred is a border fortress between Errepos and Tartarus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in front of it is the border of Erepos, behind it is the plain of Pontus, and all the way to the forest of Typhon. On either side of the fortress is the Morgan Forest, inhabited by two completely different groups of wurms.
These terrifying and stupid dragon beasts are effective in preventing the elves from bypassing Mordred Fortress from Morgan Forest. Not to mention the combat power of dragon monsters, just the possibility of being raided by the troops of the principality of Erepos such as Yugsotus when fighting with thousands of dragons is enough to make the commander of the elven clan give up the detour.
Being flanked by the armies of the Wurms and the Duchy of Erepos, no matter how many elven troops there are, they can't escape the fate of being eaten in the end, so it's very stupid to do so!
But the elven general, who was now in charge of attacking the Duchy of Erepos, was standing at the entrance to Morgan's Forest, looking at the dangerous forest.
"My lord, is it really okay for us to come to the Mordred Fortress alone like this?" His lieutenant stood behind him, looking at Fort Mordred in the distance with some concern.
For some unknown reason, the commander of the elven army, that is, the general, at this moment, only his own lieutenant, came to the area where the Murd Morey Fortress and Morgan Forest were located alone to conduct some special reconnaissance.
Unlike the adjutant's worries, the elven general was not worried that the two of them would be discovered by the soldiers of Erepos, so he said very calmly: "Don't worry, we are still far from the fortress of Mordred, and it should be impossible for the soldiers of Erepos to run such a far distance to patrol." ”
Hearing this, the adjutant thought about it slightly, and found that it was really like this, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, a cavalry team of fifteen people suddenly came to patrol in the distance.
"General, didn't you say, no problem!?" Although the knights were still far away, the black dragon banner in their ranks could already be seen, which made the adjutant can't help but look at his general, only to see that he was about to burrow into Morgan's forest.
This startled the adjutant, and he couldn't help but grab him in a hurry and asked, "General, do you know what you're doing?!" There are thousands of wurms in the Morgan Forest!! ”
However, the general said, "It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Erebos will stop pursuing. ”
"......" was more afraid that he would be captured by the people of the Mirakesa Kingdom than being eaten by the wurm, so he had to go into the forest with the general to avoid being caught by the cavalry.
Not long after the two elves hid in the forest, the cavalry squad came to the place where the two of them had just been.
"Captain, those two are gone." One of the knights in the squad looked at the marks on the ground, pointed at Morgan Forest with his whip, and said to the captain of the squad: "Judging from the marks on the ground, they are hiding in the forest!" ”
"There are many demonic beasts in the Morgan Forest, as well as wurms and a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, even if they hide in it, they can't go to the depths, compared to wanting to wait for us to leave before coming out." He smiled contemptuously, and then ordered one of the knights in his squad: "Go back to the fortress and inform Lord Lothric that we have found two elven officers who have come here alone to investigate, and now they are hiding in Morgan Forest, and we need support to cordon off this area!" ”
"Yes, Captain!" As soon as he heard the order, the knight rode away without hesitation.
And the elven general and his lieutenant, who were hiding in the bushes not far from here in the forest, looked at these knights a little speechlessly, not knowing how the two of them could break through the blockade of these knights.
Although the general of the elven clan is a master of swordsmanship, at least two of those knights are swordsmans and a great magician, although he is worthy of them, it is impossible to break through!
Therefore, they can only crawl in the forest, carefully not being discovered by the soldiers of the Principality of Erepos, and try to find as much space as possible for the soldiers of Erepos to break out.
However, at this moment, a golden arrow suddenly shot out from a distance and nailed to the ground directly in front of the elven general, startling him so much that he almost screamed.
-----------------------------------
At the same time, in the elven camp on the other side of the town, the elven commander, General Monska Wickstutasa, was discussing with his staff the tactics to be used in the attack on Mordred Fortress after the arrival of the Crimson Monsters.
"Compared to the small city we are in now, the fortress of Mordred is dozens of times stronger, and it is a militarized fortress equivalent to a medium-sized city, with four layers of walls alone, and if we want to storm it, we will probably have problems. Moreover, now that our giants have been exposed, the Principality of Errebos will definitely make giant weapons to deal with the giants in advance, and the role of the giants will be greatly weakened or even lost. ”
"But if you rely only on artillery and catapults, it is likely to be blocked by the power of the magic array on the fortress wall, resulting in siege weapons that are not very useful, or even completely useless. At most, the crash can only take the first wall, and there is a terrifying poisonous plant under the second wall, and once the crash runs over them, they will release a poisonous gas, turning the area between the first and second walls into a no-man's land! ”
"In addition, the moat of Mordred Fortress is not easy to bury, and if the soldiers are allowed to resist the attack of arrows with their shields, and then use mud and sand to block the moat, it is easy to give the army of Erepos the opportunity to attack our soldiers with magic and the miracle of the undead. But if we don't care about the moat, it will have a big impact on our siege progress! ”
Listening to the accounts of his three staff officers, General Monska already had some idea of the difficulties that would be encountered in storming the fortress of Mordred.
However, for him, a veteran general, this difficulty was nothing. No matter how difficult the Mordred Fortress is, it is not as difficult as the fortress of Dak'If, so he has captured an unknown number of Dak'Ifa fortresses, and he is not worried that he will be able to stop his army in such a fortress built by humans and beast-eared people!
There was just one thing that worried him a little. That is the corrosion of the nobles of the Alpha Empire by this foreign force.
The nobles, who had just experienced the plague (of the hunters), took refuge in the Darkness, the force that had found the antidote to the plague, and thus became their lackeys, abandoning Her Majesty the Empress in the palace. If he hadn't seen Her Majesty the Empress before he set out for Erepos, he would have been killed by the ghostly Sage Eldridge.
But even if they didn't do anything to Her Majesty, those dark forces wanted to use this war started by Her Majesty to consume as many soldiers and officers as possible who were loyal to Her Majesty. It's like the commander of the Forest Arrow who used the hands of the Erepersian army to kill an unknown number of elven soldiers through the method of retreating during the two sieges, so that they could use lies to coax the remaining army to rebel against Her Majesty the Empress after the war was over, so that Eldridge, a ghostly sage, could hold power,
In order to avoid this, the empress of the elves gave her three daughters to him and two other generals who were loyal to the empress, and asked them to take them to Erepos, Tartarus, and Ampu, the three principalities belonging to the kingdom of Mirakesa, to meet three people who were very dissatisfied with the darkness.
Although he didn't know who these three people were, he would definitely fulfill the empress's order!
Of course, after the complete occupation of Erebos, we will go to this man......
Just as he was discussing the siege plan with the staff officers, a soldier suddenly rushed in and said with a frightened face: "General, it's not good! Captain Weingleser and Her Royal Highness the Princess are gone! ”
"What?" Upon hearing this, General Monska suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
"General, I was on patrol when I heard soldiers talking about you forcing Captain Winglieser out of the camp and going to Fort Mordred to reconnoiter alone. As I saw you and the staff officers coming here for a meeting, I went to the captain's room to see if he was there, and found that he was not there, and there was a half-written letter on the table, and I felt that something was wrong, so I went to the Princess's room again to take a look, and found that she was also gone! ”
Hearing the soldier's words, General Monska trembled with anger, and only reacted after a while, slapped the table vigorously, and ordered his three staff officers: "You go and gather five thousand light cavalry, go and capture Her Royal Highness the princess for me!" ”
"Yes, General!" The three staff officers naturally understood what their princess had done, so they immediately walked out of the room and went to mobilize five thousand light cavalry to capture the princess.
But for some reason, the three of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts, and they always felt that the princess and Captain Wenglieser had probably been arrested......
-----------------------------------
Just as the three staff officers were leaving the town with the knights, expecting the direction of the Mordred Fortress, in a secret underground room in the town, two black-robed and ghost-looking men were talking about the elven princess with a man in scarlet armor and a face that resembled a mixture of werewolves and spiders.
"Lord Lycut, we have bewitched the princess of the elven clan and let her take the risk of meeting Lu Ming, a guy from the Cold Valley."
Hearing this, Licat, who had turned into a monster due to the erosion of the gloom, couldn't help but clap his hands and said with a smile: "Two, you guys are doing a good job. However, it is still unknown whether Monska's soul will obediently force an attack on Mordred Fortress, so our plan must continue, otherwise our master, Lord Eldridge, the Shadow Sage, will not be able to obtain such a treasure to lead us through the Deep Sea Age! ”
Hearing Lichard's words, one of the two ghostly cultists who were like the living corpses of ghosts sighed helplessly, and said, "My lord wants to find a way to come here, it's like wanting to avoid the Deep Sea Age, but he doesn't admit that this side is also about to enter the Deep Sea Age because of some kind of power that I don't know what it is, it's really depressing." ”
"Beck, alright, now is not the time to complain, the three of us must first complete the mission that Master Eldridge has given us! Otherwise, Lord Eldridge will punish us! Another secluded cultist said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Baker waved his hand, indicating that he understood. Then he looked at Lichardt and asked him, "Lord Lichard, I heard that Lu Ming has a grudge against you, I wonder if you have any thoughts of hunting him?" ”
"Huh! Although Lord Eldridge regards him as food on his plate, for some reason, he allowed me to hunt Lu Ming, as long as I can hunt Lu Ming before him, he will choose to devour the two old gods of Loya or Kaeya to survive the Deep Sea Era, after all, Lu Ming is a member of the Immortal Squad, he will definitely be swallowed by the abyss in the end, and Lord Eldridge does not want to follow in the footsteps of the Undead Squad. Smiling, Licutus said.
Hearing Licut's words, Baker and another dark cultist couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Listening to the survivors of the Forest Arrow, Lu Ming has become very terrifying now, I hope Lord Licat, you can successfully hunt him, otherwise Lord Eldridge will be in trouble if he is suddenly and inexplicably eroded by the abyss." After all, we still need the protection of Lord Eldridge to survive this terrible deep-sea era! ”
"Don't worry, it's impossible for Lu Ming, the great magician, to escape from my hands! You know, I'm a dragon slayer now, and I'm not much stronger than him! Moreover, Lord Eldridge also gave me a golden bow and a magic spear, relying on the power of these two treasures, I am confident that I can kill Lu Ming's soul! ”
"Gwendrin's Darkmoon Bow and Archduke Ulster's gun? I didn't expect Lord Eldridge to give you those two treasures! ”
"As Lord Eldridge's number one hunter, I don't think it's unbelievable that I've been given a treasure by my lord. Moreover, with these two treasures, I have proven my loyalty by hunting countless men and elves who have fought against Lord Eldridge! ”
"Lord Licutt, I'm not saying you don't deserve those two treasures, on the contrary, I think they're already your weapons. It's just that I wonder if Lord Saliwan will have any complaints about this! ”
"Lord Shaliwan? Isn't he already dead? ”
"Yes! He's dead. But it is precisely because of this that I will say that there will be no complaints! After all, the resentment of the dead is terrible! ”
“......”
After a few words, the two Cultists stood up and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, Baker glanced at Lichardt lightly and said, "Lord Lichardt, remember to be careful when you use the Darkmoon Bow, after all, it is Lord Eldridge's weapon. ”
“......”
