Chapter Twenty-Six: Therefore, the Suspicious Array is a Husband
Seeing the departure of the two armies, Edward could only hope that the commanders of the two armies would be decisive and lucky.
Now with a third of his strength reduced, Edward didn't know if his troops would be able to take the Hero's Prison, but according to intelligence, the guards there had already been drawn a lot.
As the army began to turn around, Edward needed to hide his troops from the looming pursuit.
One of them even sent a slave army to confuse the other party.
Edward waited suspiciously for two days, and finally waited for the news that the grain team had been attacked and the pursuing troops had returned to help.
In addition, it is reported that after leaving the original place, Edward found that there was still an undead army active nearby.
It's hard to pinpoint which unit, but you do have an ally. Of course, Edward would have preferred this guy to be his substitute.
This time the force was reduced by a third again, and Edward left a large number of slave legions behind, leaving Gardex the kid to lead the charge, and then let the lizard knight Turan, Rag Neham, the bone shield Thatcher, and the white-haired girl Monia take care of the assistance.
Among them, Edward put Gardex and Turan in charge of the mines on the side of the Dark Council that could surrender, although there were not many troops left for them, and the success rate was not great, but there was still a good chance of success, after all, Edward had made a lot of prestige.
Then Monia and two of his undead men were tasked with leading the capture of the abandoned mines.
Edward asked them to use spiritualism to continuously develop undead servants, although they may all be low-level skeleton soldiers or the like, but they can still dig and mine, after all, mosquito legs are also meat.
Of course, Edward's main purpose is to make the Dark Council think that he and the others are not leaving, so that the other party is exhausted, and he still can't understand what Edward wants to do.
In this way, Edward's chances of breaking through the Hero's Prison are much greater.
Although he didn't know whether Edward's idea was right or not, he still led the army without hesitation.
The Hero's Prison is a secret fortress hidden in a cliff.
(The Underworld isn't made of dirt alone, there are many places where lava and the Void are built.) Below this cliff is the Void World, and if you fall into it, you will never come back. )
Because it is sparsely populated, it used to be the place where the Soul Council held prisoners, and now it is naturally requisitioned by the Dark Council.
It just so happened that the second of the three sisters of the Blood Spring, the bloody nun Maffia, had heard of this place.
Originally, he wanted to send someone to pretend to summon the prisoners inside, but unfortunately the guards guarding the prison were not ambiguous at all, and they would not open the door without a warrant.
So there's no way to hit it directly.
The other party guarding the bottom of the mountain was a small team of dark guards (level 3), so they were quickly killed by the three sisters of the Blood Spring.
Occupy this small outpost, but behind it is a narrow stone bridge, and across the stone bridge is the Hero's Prison.
Not knowing what was going on on the other side, Edward had to send a team of minotaurs as the vanguard to rush across the bridge.
But the guards of the Heroic Prison are naturally not so simple, and a tall figure appears by the bridge.
"Dark Minotaur Hero!" Looking at the Minotaur hero who was holding a giant axe, wearing an iron-armored battle skirt, and a pinch of white mane on his head, looking very cool, everyone immediately stopped.
As mentioned earlier, after the training of the dark elves, most of the minotaurs were converted into low-level minotaurs.
However, there are also a small number of minotaurs who are committed and respected by the dark elves, who were originally gladiators in the arena opened by the dark elves, but have honed a lot of fighting skills through constant fighting.
At the same time, because of the indoctrination of the belief in the dark dragon and the dark elves, these minotaurs have become the current dark minotaurs.
They are the guardians of darkness and the champions of the gladiatorial arena.
It can be said that these dark minotaurs are more powerful than ordinary minotaurs, and they are also more famous among the dark elves, and they are very different from those enslaved minotaurs.
Dark Minotaurs tend to have black skin and a white mane. (English VI)
Their horns are empowered by dark blessed horns made of amethyst and star silver, revealing marble-like muscles on their upper bodies.
One hand wears a huge gauntlet made of wind-ground steel, the lower half of the body wears a dragonskin twisted battle skirt, and the hand holds a double-edged plate axe made of Michel's steel.
This is the full set of Dark Guardian armor, and only those of the Dark Minotaurs who have won the gladiatorial championship are worthy of wearing this outfit.
As the champion of gladiatorial fighting, the strength of the dark minotaur is much stronger than that of ordinary hero classes, of course, in the command of large legions, the dark minotaur who is good at gladiatorial fighting is not very good.
But now it's a narrow bridge-shaped mountain road, with voids on both sides.
Therefore, the appearance of the dark minotaur can be described as a real one-man affair.
The Dark Minotaur hero didn't talk nonsense, the double-edged battle axe in his hand danced like a whirlwind, and the troops in front of him were constantly chopped out by him.
As a result, there was a one-sided situation on the mountain road, and even a large number of people were pushed and fell off the cliff by their own people.
"Back off, back off!" The whole army kept retreating until it came to a relatively open place.
The Dark Minotaur did not rush out again, but only stood in a small roar, as if to celebrate his victory, or provoke his side again.
Several minotaur warriors seemed to be stimulated a lot, and they were about to rush forward with battle axes.
"Wait, we've got to plan it out." Edward stopped the Minotaur warriors, after all, it would be difficult to defeat this near-sub-legendary Dark Guardian by going head-to-head.
Because the terrain was relatively inhospitable, Edward was not worried about being discovered for a while, so he built a camp on this side of the bridge.
As for the Dark Minotaur, although he is a hero professional, he does not dare to break into the camp of nearly 3,000 people alone, especially on Edward's side, there are many strong battle races, and there are also many mages.
"The stone bridge can only pass two people, and that dark bullhead is strong, so he can only stand there alone, so his movement is very small, if only we could push him down the void." Edward analyzed.
"Since it's to save the hero, I'm willing to sacrifice." It was a minotaur warrior who spoke Thurit, and the loyal and brave Minotaur would support Edward 100%.
"No, your lives are precious, and we can't take this risk lightly." Although Edward understands that this method is the most effective method in front of him, it is obvious that against the hero professional powerhouses on the opposite side, one or two minotaur warriors may not even succeed in pushing the other party down, and when the time comes, his minotaur will suffer serious losses, and I am afraid that those who belong to the dungeon powerhouses will have to rebel against him.
After all, Edward's strength is not high, and the only people who are truly loyal to him are the undead and the minotaurs.
Among them, the Minotaurs are more deterrent as a strong fighting race, and they are the most important capital for Edward to command all armies. So as a last resort, Edward would never let the Minotaur consume it at will.
"What the hell is it like to bring down the Dark Minotaur?" Edward was a bit of a nerve-wracker.
