The Torin Mithril Mine Guards consist primarily of a squadron of Minotaurs guarded by a squad of Dark Mages led by Portland, plus a few Harpy Scouts.

The rest were slaves, including minotaur slaves, cave men, and underground humans.

As for why it's called Minotaur instead of Minotaur, both are actually the same thing.

However, these minotaurs are all minotaurs who have been enslaved by the dark elves for centuries, and they have lost the glory of the minotaur clan, and have become more loyal doglegs of the dark elves.

If recognized, it could be seen that they were generally shorter than the Minotaurs of the Great Barrier Clan that Edward had seen before.

Second, they were all shackled on their hands, and although there were no chains in them, they looked more like iron bracers.

In addition, their mouths are covered with iron mouth guards, just like the condoms worn by the fierce dogs on Earth to prevent them from biting.

Therefore, although these minotaurs look very similar to the minotaurs, their combat effectiveness is far behind.

The minotaurs don't know martial arts at all, so they can't be professionals, and they don't have the tenacity and perseverance of the minotaurs.

Most minotaurs rely on their tall physique and strong strength to fight their enemies.

Normally, the minotaurs rely on their sturdy size to be used as their only meat shield by the Dark Elf clan, which is short of a meat shield. Moreover, the minotaurs are loyal and even better than their own compatriots, so the minotaurs live well, much better than other slaves and cannon fodder.

Of course, now these third-order minotaurs are facing Edward's battle oracle (pre) troops, which are all third-order elites.

The squadron is also known as the 100-man team, but in most cases it will not be full, and it will have different numbers depending on the race and region, but it is basically around 80 to 100.

The total number of minotaurs equipped in the mine is eighty-six minotaurs, of which thirty are minotaur guards, that is, elite creatures, and the other five are minotaur overseers, which can be regarded as leader-level creatures with the strength of the peak of the third order.

Among them, the Minotaur overseer work as the leader creature in addition to its strong combat effectiveness, most of the minds are much better than ordinary Minotaurs, because of their work, they will also drive those mining slaves as cannon fodder to attack the opponent's troops when fighting.

Of course, because Edward was a surprise attack, he was caught off guard and didn't give the minotaurs much time to think about it at all.

The minotaurs patrolling the mines were defenseless against the wolf-like bloodthirsty ghouls, and were torn to pieces by the bloodthirsty ghouls.

The bloodthirsty ghouls lived up to their bloodthirsty name, and they went up to bite like hunting dogs, and the minotaurs were all bloody and fleshy. If Edward hadn't stopped him and asked for a complete corpse, I'm afraid there would have been no corpses left.

The intrusion alarm sounded, and Minotaurs rushed in all directions, but this kind of fueling tactic was exactly what Edward was happy to see. A large number of minotaurs were killed, and it was not until several minotaur overseers came forward to organize the formation.

Underneath the mines, the Minotaur Overseers drive a large number of slaves to deal with the undead troops.

Edward wanted to tell them it was just a food delivery.

Those caveman slaves didn't do much damage at all, but were converted into skeletons after death to attack the cavemen in turn, so that Edward's side only consumed some mana, and the other side spent a lot of troops.

"Your Excellency!" Just as Edward was planning a wave of assault, Lively and Dark Stalker Captain Morrigan returned with their wounded bodies, and it seemed that they had been attacked by some force.

"What's going on? Aren't there only a few dark mages left? How did you get hurt? Edward had a bad feeling in his heart.

"My lord, that high-level dark mage is not dead, we have been ambushed." Lavery explained.

"Well, my lord, I think that dark mage should have used the dark stand-in technique, and I blame it for not checking it carefully before, please punish it. It's a good thing that Lavery dragged the dark mage this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come back. The Dark Stalker said as he knelt on the ground.

"It's not Captain Morigan's fault, Auburn will treat Lavery first, and we'll consider other options." Edward helped the Dark Forerunner up, but in his mind, there was an additional high-level dark mage on the other side, and it seemed that he couldn't destroy the other party in waves.

However, the opponent's limited strength has been consumed by most of its own side, and if it continues to be consumed, the other side will definitely not be able to consume its own side.

And for the undead who don't have to eat or drink, are tireless, and can infinitely increase their strength through the corpse of the other party, they are officially best at fighting a war of attrition.

But Anders, the Wayfinder, who was outside, had bad news that a force was heading towards the mine, numbering at least four hundred.

"Four hundred, what kind of troops are they?" Edward considered that if it was the opponent's reinforcements, and they were relatively strong, he must consider retreating, otherwise he would likely be blocked in the mine and attacked from front to back.

"The other party's troops seem to be a little strange, most of them are slaves who have been tortured, and the regular strength is only a hundred soldiers dressed as warriors, and it doesn't seem to be from the Dark Elf clan." Anders replied.

"Huh?" Edward was a little stunned, looking at the situation as if something was wrong, could it be a certain team escorting slave laborers.

"My lord, although the high-level dark mage used the stand-in technique to escape, but the stand-in technique can only resist half of the damage for him, he is definitely seriously injured, just now we were also ambushed before we couldn't resist and escaped, if I give me a chance, I will definitely be able to kill him." Morrigan saw the opportunity and said.

"In that case, we will take the mine in one go, and then rely on the mine to defend and counterattack, and then abandon the mine when the opportunity comes." Edward thought about the countermeasures and immediately sent people to gather troops to prepare for the assault.

In fact, in addition to the fact that attrition is the advantage of the undead, there is another crucial factor.

That is, in a mine with narrow terrain, there is really no room for battle.

In particular, the connection points of some passages are often blocked by three or two people, which can be said to be a terrain that cannot be opened.

When the fight starts, only three or four people in the front row can fight, and the others can only wait for the person in front to die.

In this way, dying one on the other will naturally become a fight for consumption.

If you fight like this, the few mine guards can't afford to fight, and Edward doesn't want to consume the elite men he has worked so hard to get, so he uses summons to attack, anyway, summons only consume mana, and several officers take turns meditating and meditating to continue to consume.

But now that they are preparing to attack, they naturally can't do so.

"Thatcher, Alexander, you two charge with me, and Monia (the white-haired girl) you are responsible for supporting." Edward took out the arcane blade given by the violent female mentor Ella, and led two of his subordinates to form a small assault formation and attack towards the entrance of the cave.

It seems that a change in the undead side has been discovered, and the mine guards are nervously responding.

It wasn't the Minotaur that appeared over there, but a couple of Minotaur slaves.

That's right, it's a serious minotaur, not a minotaur.

Obviously, these minotaur slaves were forced to play, but these minotaurs did not think of surrendering, after all, the undead are very terrifying, it is rumored that they are never taken prisoner, and there is no peace when they die.

But when Edward was ready to break through to the death, he would put two big fireballs to make the other side happy.

A minotaur slave on the other side shouted, "Edward, it's you, I'm Fermi Thunderhorn, a good friend of Alista." ”

"Alista, the Great Barrier?" Edward suddenly remembered an honest cow face.

Edward immediately stopped the spell casting gesture and warned his men not to make a move.

Seeing that Edward didn't make a move, Fermi the Minotaur was sure that he was a good friend of the Minotaur clan in front of him, although he wondered why he joined the undead, but he still shouted loudly without hesitation: "Fellow Minotaurs, Lord Edward in front of me is a friend of our Minotaur clan, he saved our magnificent barrier clan from the hands of the Dark Council, everyone listen to me, and turn against these miscellaneous members of the Dark Council." ”

Listening to Fermi's shout, all the minotaurs around him reacted, picked up the allotted giant axe, and reflexively killed.

For a moment, the guards of the mine were in a mess.

Fermi and the others are all minotaurs, from a standard strong war race, although they are a little malnourished because they can't get food supplies, but the foundation is still there.

Moreover, although the mine guards also knew that these minotaurs were not convinced, they were strong and could rebel at any time.

But the undead troops on the opposite side, it's not this time to rebel, I believe that for the sake of their lives, these minotaurs should not dare to rebel, how do you know that these minotaurs actually know the undead officers on the opposite side.

The mine guards, who were stunned for a while, were forced to retreat again and again, and the minotaur was much stronger than the minotaur.

Edward also took the opportunity to rush in, after all, because the minotaurs were tall, and the mines with their handles were always very tall, but only one or two people could pass through the key places.

"Fermi is glad to meet you, you guys take a rest first, these minotaurs are still left to me to deal with." Since they are acquaintances, Edward doesn't want these minotaurs to die in vain, after all, they are still very weak, and although it is not a problem to deal with the minotaurs, they also have many casualties.

On the contrary, the undead on Edward's side can be added that it is the dead who die, not the living.

Moreover, the Minotaur is a powerful class of the fifth order, although it may not be able to be accepted as a subordinate, but it can also be used as an ally.

When they recuperate, their own side has added a lot of help, so at this time, all the casualties are Edward's losses.

"Okay then." Fermi also did not want to see his own people killed or wounded, and looked at Edward gratefully, and immediately called back his compatriots.

In addition, he can also breathe a sigh of relief, after all, his judgment is correct, although Edward has joined the undead, he is still a good friend of the Minotaur clan.
