For players living in Hugodi, they knew that one day the inhabitants of the underworld would attack the surface when they discovered that the huge hollow in the old city of Hugodi connected to the underworld, and that they were being attacked by the enemies of the underworld. In fact, the enemies of the Underworld have attacked the ground before, and the terrible slaughter of the Drow Elves and the fierce fighting men of the Black Minotaur are both shocking and terrifying.
Therefore, the player's territory near the old city of Hugodi is very careful in building the city walls, especially after the village was breached, and the villagers inside were slaughtered. Basically, any defensive positions or measures that have appeared in history in real life can be found in the player's territory on the outskirts of the old city of Hugodi. Small bunkers, trenches, low walls, and even a large amount of barbed wire were laid out to serve as defenses.
Most players who come to Hugodi's territory from out of town will find it very strange that the player's territory outside of Hugodi's Old Town is very strange, as you will see very little land to cultivate here except for poor farmers. At the same time, many players also know that passive defense cannot last long, and it is not easy to restore the ability to plant after the land is destroyed by a trench. Once there is no adequate food supply, then the stability of the territory becomes a problem.
However, the head-on confrontation player is definitely no match for those underground creatures, and they may be able to destroy some low-level monsters, but it can become very tragic to face the forces of the underground inhabitants such as the Black Minotaur or the Drow Elves. Fortunately, except for the initial incident of large-scale attacks on the ground by underground creatures, there are very few such incidents, and if there are, they are only small-scale and will be quickly wiped out under the resistance of the player.
It's just that the players of the Hugodi Territory, including the aboriginal nobles of the northwest, did not expect to encounter a large-scale attack one day, when thousands of underground black minotaurs appeared on the surface with drow elves. It's hard for everyone to calm down. If these drows were to appear at night, no one would have noticed. However, when they appear at dusk, players searching for belongings in the old town of Hugodi soon find out. Of course, they also became the first victims.
When the first player discovers the trail of the Drow troops. When he tried to report to his companion, he was impaled in the back with a dagger by a drow elf's shadow slayer. The dagger that burst out of his chest instantly reduced his health to zero, and the covered mouth made him only whine. However, at the end of his life, he remembered that he was a player who yelled at his companion to run through the team channel.
Unfortunately, his companion had also been impaled by a pitch-black dagger the moment he roared to run. Hundreds of shadow killers shot at the same time, killing all the players who came into contact with them in an instant, and not even one of them survived. So at first, players in those territories knew the news through posts outside of the game, and it was a full five minutes after the first players found out that the Drow Elves had been killed. By the time the guild leader of the player's territory closest to the old city of Hugodi raised the alarm, it had been nearly fifteen minutes since the Drow elves and the black minotaurs appeared in the old city of Hugodi. And this player's territory is less than ten minutes away from the old city of Hugodi.
So less than five minutes before the player leader raised the alarm, thousands of Black Minotaur troops and thousands of Drow Elves that followed them appeared outside the player's territory. The poignant battle horn mixed with the sound of alarm bells instantly resounded throughout the village, and at the same time, a group of beacon fires were ignited in an instant. Unfortunately, the sunset had disappeared into the sky a minute ago, and only a glimmer of light shrouded the earth that was gradually sinking into darkness.
In such a situation, not to mention the beacon fire, it is estimated that there is no way to send people to ask for help, and as for the players who stay outside, they are almost the same as dead people in the eyes of everyone. Because the guards who ran to the city wall saw the blood that had not yet dried up on the crescent-like scimitars of the drow elves, and the corpses of the black bullaurs still chewing at the corners of their mouths.
"! How can this be fought? The total number of players in the town is only 3,000, and a third of them are sub-class players. "Anrotai is a sub-leader of the Iron Knights, the mayor of the town of Tyro who is known as a village among players on the Hansting map. Of course, in the official system of the Hansting Empire, An Ruotai was at most a village head.
"Brother An! Why don't you let the brothers go offline and hide? One of the Iron Riders who was cowering next to Ann Ruotai said, but it was clear that An Ruotai would not agree. In fact, even if he agreed, it didn't work, because there were nearly five hundred indigenous villagers living in Tairuo Town, not only the player. Nearly 1,000 acres of farmland are cultivated. These villagers are the foundation of the entire Iron Riders, and if they don't resist, they will flee and go offline, and Anrotai is sure that his president will pick his skin. Even if his sister is the little sister of the Iron Rider Guild leader Feng Buyun and his brother's wife, it can't offset such a sin, after all, it's just a little sister and not Feng Buyun's wife.
"Tell the brothers to hold out for at least half an hour!" An Ruotai looked at the subordinates around him and said slowly, everyone felt a little dizzy when they heard his words, because in their opinion, it was impossible for the entire Tairuo Town to hold out for so long. If the players who hung up outside could make it back to the town alive, they might have been able to hold out for that long, but now the total number of fighting players in the entire village is only 2,000, which is only the same number as the drow and minotaurs outside the village. As for the combat power, the players can't even compare to the fraction of the Drow Elves, and the only estimate they can rely on is the city defense equipment in Tairuo Town.
Almost as soon as the Drow Elves and the Black Minotaurs approached the town of Tyró, the catapults and bed crossbows on the walls attacked as the alarm sounded. The entire town of Tairuo has a resident population of no more than 5,000, but it has hundreds of bed crossbows and catapults. There were more than a dozen bed crossbows and catapults on each wall, and the moment they spotted the Drow elves, they began to fire with a bangling sound, and it was these weapons that gave Anrotai the confidence to hold on for at least half an hour or more.
But to his consternation, when the second round of bed crossbows was fired, many of the bed crossbows and catapults were silent. This made An Ruotai a little strange and annoyed. He didn't know what was going on yet. But in my heart, I think that someone is lazy and does not do a good job of maintaining the bed crossbow and catapult.
It's just that he just wanted to shout at the position where the bed crossbow was. only to find that a black dagger suddenly appeared on the chest of the friend who had just proposed to him to let everyone go offline to dodge.
"Brother An! Run~!! The player named Ding Shou roared loudly, and then tried to grab the dagger stuck in his heart, so that the enemy who killed him would not harm his brother. It's a pity that when he found that his vitality gradually left him, his hands didn't even have the strength to lift them at all. Even holding the dagger couldn't stop the other man from pulling out of his chest.
Blood splattered from his chest in front of him, and a black figure slowly emerged from the blood-stained area, a drow elf with a dark complexion and long pointed ears.
"! Long-eared rabbit Lao Tzu grass your ancestors!! An Ruotai roared frantically, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist with great force, it was a fine weapon forged by a black dwarf. It was he who had paid a great deal to exchange the guild contribution for huàn. But the sword was barely half an inch out of its sheath, and An Ruotai no longer had any strength to continue to draw his cherished weapon, because a pitch-black dagger pierced his armor from behind and pierced directly through his chest.
"Grandma, a bear! Lao Tzu died so decrepitly! This was the last thought of Anrotai in the game, and he knew that he had been deceived by the Drow Elves from the beginning. Using a thousand drow elf infantry and black minotaurs as cover, he confused his judgment and thought that the drow elves had not yet infiltrated the village. But he forgot about the Drow Elf's Shadow Slayer, the Drow Elf Assassin who had caused players a lot of pain in the first place, and this time showed their death-like fangs again. The town of Tairuo resisted for less than five minutes before the defenders were killed by the Shadow Slayer, and by the time the Iron Rider leader Feng Buyun received the news, the Iron Riders had already lost two villages. Similarly, as his neighbors, the two newly developed villages of the Zodiac Alliance were also attacked by the Drow Elves, but fortunately, only the newly developed territory was captured, and if it was a territory that had been in operation for nearly a year, it was estimated that Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang would be completely crazy.
"I'm cǎoTMD!" In two market towns almost fifty kilometers apart. The leaders of the two large guilds burst out with the same foul language almost as soon as they received the news, and then the news of the Drow Elves' invasion began to spread at high speed among the Hugodi Realm. Alarm bells began to ring frantically in one village after another. This kind of scene makes people wonder if they have returned to the time when Count Hugodi had just rebelled.
However, even though the news was transmitted very quickly, when Chen Kai received the news, it had been nearly half an hour since the fall of the first village of the Iron Knights, and Chen Kai still received the news at dinner. While he was eating dinner, three or four player messengers rushed through the guards' blockade one after another, rushed into the dining room, and handed the letter marked with chicken feathers to Chen Kai.
"Damn! Are these drows crazy? What do they want? Chen Kai's first thought after receiving the letter was to feel incredulous, because he felt that the drow elves could not be so crazy, because according to the description of these letters, the number of drow elves was at least tens of thousands, and the same black minotaur also had nearly 10,000. The presence of 20,000 troops of the Underground Race on the ground is definitely a provocation to the Hansting Empire, and now they have captured several villages of the indigenous nobles in the north in addition to the four newly built villages of the Iron Riders and the Zodiac Alliance, and now they are even attacking the territory of a lord. Such a move is completely provoking the authority of the entire Hansting Empire, and it can be said that it can easily attract the retaliation of the entire Hansting Empire.
"They're not crazy! Because they know that those nobles don't dare to report it! In the edicts of the Empire, the enemies in the noble fiefdoms should first be eliminated by these nobles themselves, and only when the enemy's power is too large will the Empire send troops to destroy them, but then the nobles of the entire Hugodi territory will be reshuffled! There are people among the Drow who know the things of the Empire very well, which is why they do this, because they know that all the nobles dare not ask the Empire for help, and they don't want to lose their territory! After reading the letter, Xu Fei immediately understood the reason why the Drow Elf was so bold, and in fact, Chen Kai was also very clear about this decree or unspoken rule. But he didn't expect that those aboriginal nobles really didn't dare to do that, and it was very unfortunate that it seemed that this unspoken rule had been caught by the current enemy.
However, Chen Kai knows one thing better, even if the player reports it now. It is unlikely that there will be any Imperial troops running to drive away these underground dwellers. Because now the south, especially the front line of Yadog, is still hot. In addition to clearing the remaining ghouls in the Golden Plains, the troops that can be mobilized in the empire are basically concentrated around Adogr to fend off the undead attacks. Even this is only a matter of suppression, not defeating the undead. The result of a large number of soldiers being pinned down is that even if Chen Kai and other players ignore the unspoken rules and report the attack on the city by the Drow elves, the matter of clearing the Drow elves will still fall on the players' heads in the end.
In fact, this is also the reason why those players and aboriginal nobles directly sent letters of help to Chen Kai. They all knew that the only one in the entire Hugodi realm who could mobilize enough troops and strong troops was the town of Burkna. At the same time, Chen Kai's title is also the highest among all the nobles, and he has the right and obligation to lead the entire Hugodi nobles against the enemy.
But for these Chen Kai, he has no other thoughts except to curse those player lords and aboriginal lord bastards in his heart, just imagine that people who didn't agree with Chen Kai before will run to hug their thighs and ask for help once they encounter danger, Chen Kai simply doesn't want to pay attention to such a little brother. But that's the rule of the Hansting aristocratic circle. Chen Kai didn't have any thoughts in his heart except for being nauseous like eating a fly.
Although he felt disgusted in his heart, Chen Kai also knew that if he allowed the Drow Elves and the Dark Minotaur to wreak havoc on the entire territory, then the trade route to the north that he had managed to open up would be blocked again. At that time, the financial situation, which has finally improved, is expected to be deadlocked again.
Therefore, no matter how much Chen Kai despised those players and aboriginal nobles in his heart, and how uncomfortable he was with aiding them, he had to send troops to help them. Of course, Chen Kai could not send too many troops, because if too many soldiers left, then the safety of Berkner Town itself would be endangered. Chen Kai didn't believe that the Drow Elves would only attack the territory around the old city of Hugodi, and would not run along the road to the town of Birkner.
"Drake! I'm going to trouble your cavalry troops again! After thinking for a few minutes, Chen Kai said to Drake, who was sitting at the table eating, that of all the formed troops in Burkner, only Drake's cavalry troops could assist the surrounding territories in a short period of time. And the cavalry is not very helpful in defending the city, but it can contain the Minotaur troops in the wilderness.
However, Chen Kai's words had just fallen. The alarm bell of Burkner Town suddenly remembered, and then more than a dozen loud explosions were heard throughout Berkner Town. In an instant, the aboriginal officers and Chen Kai, who were originally eating in the dining room, all stood up. The sound of chairs turning over and plates breaking was everywhere, and Chen Kai almost rushed to the gate with this phantom step, pushing open the window sill door of the lord's mansion and looking out.
In the city of Burkner, flames from more than a dozen explosions rose in the night sky, and the alarm bells on the city walls rang rapidly, and even the faint sound of killing could be heard. However, soon these shouts of killing disappeared, but Chen Kai's face did not improve, because with the help of the lord's management system, he found that he had lost nearly a hundred of his subordinates in less than three minutes. Most of them are natives, and only a small percentage are player patrols.
"TMD bastard!" Chen Kai's eyes were open angrily, and his two eyes were almost rapidly congested and turned red. But the bad news didn't stop there, after a few minutes, the player in charge of managing the stables almost ran over, bringing Chen Kai another piece of bad news. The horses of the cavalry throughout the town of Berkna are now thinning, and several of them have even died.
Hearing the news, Drake's face quickly turned pale, and he almost regarded the entire cavalry regiment as his own life, having poured all his heart and soul into the cavalry regiment. Hearing that player's words now, it was almost equivalent to digging flesh into his body, and he almost subconsciously rushed to that player and arrested the other party.
"How much have I lost?" Drake's voice was full of murderous intent, and his hands were so hard that the player felt like he was going to suffocate. But soon, Su Xinghe grabbed Drake's hand and rescued the player.
"Ahem! The loss was not very large, fortunately it was discovered in advance, but the war horses were strained and there was no way to ride! The horses that died probably ate too much poison and died of dehydration! Finally getting a breath of fresh air, this player felt very fortunate and threw a grateful look at Su Xinghe.
