The light of the torches illuminated the dark vision, and the army of Zhongpingling was black. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared to the ogre, Zhongpingling has a well-disciplined army.

The more than 5,000-strong Zhongpingling army looked like ants, but the queue was neat, and there was no other noise except for the sound of uniform steps and the undulating military orders of officers at all levels.

As Sauron walked out of the door of the lord's residence, he followed a trumpet. On the left and right sides of the Zhongpingling army, each took a phalanx of 1,000 people. An army of warrior professionals, neatly dressed, covered in silver armor, with a green coat and a sword and a heavy shield.

In a concave battle formation, after the heavy warriors, in the center is the most elite existence of Zhongpingling, the Zhongpingling Knights composed of five hundred knights, leaving a series of loud voices echoing on the way forward, "Salute to the great Marquis Lord of Zhongpingling!" Solid as a rock, long live Zhongpingling! ”

Immediately after, the Marquis of Zhongpingling, riding a high-headed horse, appeared in the queue of the Zhongpingling Knights.

In sight, the Marquis of Walter still had short hair, the neckline of his white shirt was slightly open, and the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up to the middle of his arms, revealing the skin underneath.

Overall, the Marquis of Walter was tall and handsome.

Needless to say, his skin is a little rough and dark, and his eyes are slender and sharp, which makes people not want to look at it for a long time.

The Marquis of Walter's hair was gray, and his fingers were more slender than the average person. His eyes were deep and sharp, the bridge of his nose was high, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed the strength of a marquis lord.

"The cowardly will hold back, the reckless will only set themselves on fire, and only those who truly have the strength can be invincible. Baron of the Dragon Court Woodland, I admire your solitary courage from the Devouring Crypt to the Skull Tribe. But you stole the totem liquid that should have belonged to Zhongping Ridge, which made me feel that you were extremely stupid. ”

Staring at the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland within the dome's defenses, Marquis Walter's tone maintained the grace and measure of a marquis, but his gaze was cold and stiff. In Sauron's eyes, only the eyes of a dead sheep after slaughter would be so full of resentment.

"He who dares to declare war on darkness must first have light in his heart. Wise Marquis of Zhongpingling, what you should learn is that your army must have justice. People can start from scratch, but they can't be a despicable person who harms others and benefits themselves, remember! ”

Sauron's smooth and fair face revealed an angular coldness. The dark and deep eyes were filled with indifference to it.

"The lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, but a hairy boy and a despicable thief...... Do you dare to call me a despicable person? ”

The Marquis of Walter's tone became high, and an angry heart burned in his chest. As if they had received a signal of readiness for battle, the two phalanx of hoplites lined up their shields, drew their swords, and shouted 'Rock solid!' 'The majesty of the Marquis of Zhongpingling is rendered to the extreme.

Look at the phalanx of two thousand people who entered the combat readiness.

All of them are heavily armed warriors, and they are mighty.

The calculation in Zolon's mind went hand in hand with his thoughts: the Zhongping Ridge army passed through the Longting Woodland to return to Zhongping Ridge, and it would take at least a day to march rapidly. And from the calmness of the Marquis of Water, it can now be concluded that the queen of the Skull Tribe, Maynes, and her trolls are afraid that they have been handed over to 'some third party' to deal with.

As for who the third party is, according to the information revealed by Tills: the Marquis of Zhongpingling is in the same league as some court counts in Black Mountain City.

With the support of a court count, all you need is a letter of order promising to raise the ranks. You can let the lord of Taikoo City, who is closest to Zhongping Ridge, send an army to eliminate the trolls who invaded Zhongping Ridge.

…………………

At the moment, what made Sauron feel most dignified was that he had the help of the court count.

Even if the Zhongping Ridge and the Longting Woodland cause infighting, I am afraid that the entire Black Mountain City will turn a blind eye and acquiesce to his illegal war behavior in the Longting Woodland.

As for the Marquis of Water, as long as he thinks that the situation is in his favor, then he will definitely not let Sauron go easily.

It can't be avoided, it's better to face it bravely, at least the Dragon Court Woodland also has a dome defense, and more than a month of food supplies. So when Zoro's dark eyes bulged slightly, forming a plane with the eye sockets, because of the upward rush of his heart, his eyes not only did not show the slightest fear, but became more and more tough.

"Warriors fight out stormy waves without **, cowards will drown even in the face of calm waves! The Dragon Court Woodland should stand up for the few towns you plotted against and get back what you deserve. Despicable Marquis of Water, do you want? ――Please come and get it! ”

As the voice of the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland fell, the sound of the military horn belonging to the side of the Dragon Court Woodland began to resound in the sky.

The encouragement of Ares and Thorin resounded in the ears of all the soldiers, "Sergeant of the Dragoncourt Woodlands, the time has come to defend your homeland and fulfill your duties!" ”

Behind the dome, spears lined up and bows and arrows wound.

Three thousand recruit sergeants struck the ground under their feet with their shields, "Loyalty and courage are our rules!" Die in battle, throw your blood, and glorify my body! Glory Dragon Court !! ”

――――――――――――――――

As powerful as Zhongpingling, there are not a few professional elites as strong as silver.

Therefore, under the protection of the dome defense of the Longting Woodland, the Zhongpingling army did not rashly launch an attack.

As time passed, in Zoro's perspective, the sky was already white.

The Zhongpingling army extinguished the torches. And after the sound of two military trumpets, the hoplites rubbed their hands, forming a dense shield array, staring at the innocuous arrows, staying on the other side of the defensive limits of the dome.

"Listen to the people of the Dragon Court Woodland, those who descend will not be killed. Otherwise, your end will come at the first light of day. ”

Even if the other party didn't shout out so stupidly, Sauron knew that Marquis Vought was waiting for the dawn to come, the moment when the dome's defenses failed.

In the eyes of Marquis Walter, it would take five seconds for the dome to dissipate and rise a second time.

And even in a matter of seconds, the heavily armed warriors of Zhongping Ridge would immediately break into the dome's defenses, making the Dragon Court woodland under the dome unstoppable.

It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Marquis Walter. He calculated that the Dragon Court Woodland had a large amount of totem liquid that could withstand consumption, but he would not have thought of the existence of an epic totem pole.

With the experience of being a human in two lifetimes, Zoro naturally knew that at the moment when the first ray of sunlight washed away the dome's defenses, the Epic Totem Pole consumed five drops of totem liquid, which would make the energy replenish faster than the energy dissipated.

In addition, the dome will be extended outwards by an insignificant distance of half a meter.

And the army of Zhongping Ridge, in Sauron's perspective, they are too close to the boundary of the dome......

"Inject five drops of Totem Night, and don't let the dome defenses dissipate." A moment before the dawn shone, Sauron decisively gave the latest order. Related to the fate of the Dragon Court Woodland, even if a drop of totem liquid was worth a gold coin, he would not be stingy.

"Soldiers, combat readiness. Kill every Zhongping Ridge intruder who steps inside the dome. ”

After Thorin gave a prompt, the dome above the Dragon Court Forest suddenly expanded outward by half a meter, engulfing at least 100 Zhongping Ridge heavy warriors and violently falling to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Marquis Walter's hands were clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

"What !!?"

In the midst of an incredulous voice, many Zhongpingling soldiers were stunned.

In front of everyone's eyes, at least a hundred heavily armed warriors of Zhongping Ridge were swept into the dome. The corners of Sauron's mouth drew a grim arc. Just as he calculated, because the invisible energy carried in the dome was too powerful, every Zhongping Ridge warrior who was caught up in the dome fell heavily to the ground.

And this created an opportunity for the Dragon Court Woodland.

"Kill! ――”

A moment ago, I heard Ares' prompt.

In the next second, the spear sergeant of the Dragon Court Woodland raised his dense spear and stabbed it into the necks of many hoplite warriors under the gaps in their battle helmets. The stab of the spear made the blood spray out from under the silver helmet like clear water without money.

"Kill everyone in Zhongpingling!"

More Dragon Court sergeants swarmed up. A swarm of bees stabbed with spears, so that each time the spear was drawn, in addition to blood, there were also many crumbs of internal organs.

"Although the Dragon Court Woodland is small, it is not a place where you can come whenever you want. Everyone! Watching the spear sergeant slaughter, more militiamen, with great courage, raised the blunt weapon in their hands and smashed it into the bodies of several heavily armed soldiers. All that could be heard in the ears of the surrounding Longting people was the crisp sound of breaking bones and tendons. Because they were overturned by the dome and fell to the ground, many Zhongpingling soldiers were set on fire for the first time, which can be described as a suffocating death.

How strong is the defense of a Zhongpingling heavy warrior.

In Zoro's calculations, excluding the weight of weapons and shields, the armor of the warriors of Zhongping Ridge is about 90 catties.

Texture and protection, although not the same as the dwarven ring armor. But it's still not to be underestimated. Coupled with the strength of the Black Iron Level 8 professional warriors, once the remaining fighters stand up, their combat power is also very strong.

"Rock solid! Long live Zhongpingling! Martyrdom to the death. ”

The living Zhongpingling warriors roared and began to launch a final counterattack before they died.

The remaining forty or so Zhongping Ridge warriors roared wildly and waved the sharp heavy sword in their hands, and it took almost no great effort to penetrate through the front chest and back of the Long Ting Sergeant who was only wearing leather armor, and then quickly pulled it out, and then, after hearing the miserable cry of the Long Ting Sergeant, the blood on his body gushed out like a fountain with a hot and bloody face, and the ground was dyed red in an instant.

Running through the power of the eighth or ninth level of black iron, the impact of a heavy shield can make the corners of the eyes of ordinary recruit sergeants bleed. The blurred vision was filled with the darkness of despair......

"Scatter the enemies, don't let them get together!" No matter how hard these men fought, Sauron's orders essentially sentenced them to death.

When the people of the Dragon Court kill the enemy and gain glory, the most direct sense is to look directly at the blood and cruelty.

"For the Dragon Court!"

The guard officer Leon, along with a group of apprentices, leads six dwarven swordsmen and becomes a nightmare for his enemies.

The enemy in Zhongping Ridge who fell into the dome was bound to die.

Sauron's arm raised slightly, following his instructions. Thousands of sergeants in the Longting Woodland relined themselves under the dome to prevent a sudden attack on Zhongping Ridge.

However, Sauron could basically assume that Marquis Walter would not do that.

The army of professionals with about a few thousand people in the Zhongpingling army will only take effect if it attacks the dome continuously for more than half an hour. Not to mention, Marquis Walter knew that Sauron still had enough totem liquid to consume with them.

In addition, if you storm the dome, the attacks of the Zhongping Ridge warriors will be absorbed, but they will have to withstand attacks from within the dome.

Sauron believed that the Marquis of Walter could not afford it. His two thousand hoplites were by no means as well trained as ordinary soldiers, and one of the professional soldiers was one less than one killed.

………………………………………

"Rock solid ......!" A slogan that was almost shattered.

Following the sound, there was a large green sword embroidered with a sword emblem inserted in stone.

The owner of the big sword was a young Zhongpingling warrior, and he was the last Zhongpingling warrior to stand in the dome.

Leon's continuous slashing made this Zhongping Ridge warrior exhausted.

He only had time to see Leon swing two beautiful sword flowers, and the heavy shield in his hand flew away, and as his arm was stabbed, the hand holding the long sword began to weaken. 'Bang' fell to the ground.

"Despicable weakling, you will pay for it."

Outside the dome, the warriors of Zhongping Ridge cursed loudly. Because they clearly saw that a dwarf was quietly approaching behind this Zhongping Ridge warrior.

Then, as the dwarf quickly raised his leg and kicked hard, the opponent's calf made a 'click' sound and he fell to his knees.

Immediately after, the sword in Leon's hand penetrated from the front of his neck, and the back went straight through, and the sharp tip of the sword burst out a puddle of bright red blood......

"Despicable, shameless!"

"Hurt people in the back, you are all a bunch of cowards!" "It's a man, so he walked out of the dome defense and fought to the death with Zhongping Ridge."

Through a transparent 'cover', beyond the dome, the warriors of Zhongpingling kept cursing.

But that's not going to change anything. Or who is to provoke. With an order to "shoot freely-".

The archer from the Dragon Court Woodland accurately opened two cold blood holes between the two foreheads. The warriors of Zhongping Ridge honestly hid behind their shields and obediently closed their mouths.

In Sauron's eyes, the lives of the Zhongpingling warriors were no more noble than the lives of the Longting people.

Therefore, the 106 Duanmu City warriors replaced 127 Longting people, and in terms of quantity, they did not suffer a loss. On the contrary, it was the Longting people who paid a more price. However, for the sake of the overall strategic situation, Zoro must still use this to combat the arrogance of the Zhongpingling army.

"Marquis Walter, if I were you, I wouldn't be so stupid as to let my elite subordinates die so meaninglessly."

Hearing Zolon's deliberately amplified voice, he switched to the perspective of Marquis Walter, the lord of Duanmu City, and directly witnessed the death of 106 heavily armored warriors.

The ruthless side of the Marquis of Walter was completely exposed.

I saw his eyes widen and stare angrily at Sauron. The almost distorted face even made his eyebrows stand up one by one. "Boy, you'd better prepare water and food that can last half a year or a year, otherwise, one day, I will wash your territory in blood! And you, the little baron of this small territory, will die in despair and fear, as will the fate of the lords of the towns of Agate, Montenegro, Bue and Templeton. ”

"Herald - surround here."

Throwing down an order, the Marquis of Zhongpingling led his Zhongpingling Knights and left.

In Sauron's field of vision, the Marquis of Vought left with hundreds of pack carts, laden with loot from the trolls. But he left the entire army on foot to besiege the Longting Woodland.

"Ares, find a way to figure out who took over the command of the Zhongpingling army." With this order, the Dragon Court Lord Sauron turned around and left, returning to the lord's residence.

And it wasn't until noon that Zoro received the news that the commander of the Zhongpingling army had been replaced by a man named Webley.

With Ares' elaboration. In fact, Thorin had already heard of this person. Webley, the general of Zhongpingling, has rich combat experience and is very familiar with the terrain and environment around the Thorn Forest, including the Longting woodland.

And his first order when he took over the command of the army was to clear the countryside, use local materials in the woodland, and rely on the surrounding terrain to build hundreds of sentry towers. In addition, Webley also ordered his subordinates to pile up the carrion corpses of trolls and various animals in the upper reaches of the stream that runs through the Longting woodland, polluting the water source.

Zoro had already thought of this, so he wasn't surprised. The Longting Woodland had wells to maintain drinking water, and the only thing that made him feel a little dignified was that if the Zhongpingling army really couldn't stay, then even the airships of the Construction Guild wouldn't be able to enter. The snack storage in Longting Woodland can only last for more than a month.

Zoro pondered for a moment before giving the next order. "Leon, I think it's time to get in touch with the Fire Temple, and bring our Fire Sacrifice Biggins for me."

With dome defense, the Zhongpingling army will not rush to attack.

And in this limited period of more than a month, how to force the Zhongpingling army to get out of the way is probably the first thing in front of Zolon. Otherwise, once there is not enough food to sustain and there is no need to attack Zhongping Ridge, the Longting Woodland will fall into civil strife on its own.

While thinking about countermeasures, I paced at the same time, even at this time. Sauron's gaze was still focused on one point, his gaze resting on the flowerpot on the window.

Not long ago, when Cicely first spotted the plant, Sauron asked her to transplant it into a pot and raise it. The purple grass has only one fork on it, and it is topped with two inconspicuous golden flower bones.

And now, there are as many as five or six golden flowers in full bloom. And against the purple background, there is a metallic texture.

"Purple Gold Flower!" It was Sauron who came up with the name for it.

And the Purple Gold Flower Legion is also the first official name of the Dragon Court army.

……………………

Being calm and calm in the face of things is a state of mind, a kind of self-cultivation, and a kind of realm.

To be in a hurry, or to get angry, it was of no use to Sauron.

In addition to calming down, it basically didn't take much time to think, and Zoro knew that the only breakthrough in the problem was to find foreign help.

And the only party that can act as foreign aid and suppress Zhongpingling must be Black Mountain City or from ...... Temple.

"No matter what the price is paid right now, as long as you can get the Longting Woodland out of trouble, it will be worth it."

It is believed that the value of the totem liquid is enough for the Dragon Court Woodland to get the 'protection' from the temple.
