Chapter 423: Burning Lava City (15)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The suspended wooden ladder that had been transporting dwarven refugees began to transport aid troops to the deep underworld, but each floating plank could carry a limited number of people, even if there were three planks, it would only transport more than a hundred people at a time. At the same time, it takes at least ten minutes to transport a lot, and this is only the time required for the downward journey, and it takes even more time to go up, at least half an hour to pull up the planks full of dwarven refugees.
At the same time, although the Layton horse is very strong, it will also be very tiring to engage in such work continuously, so it is necessary to rest for a few minutes each time a batch is raised. Even in order to cope with such a situation, Chen Kai took the lead in pulling nearly fifty Layton war horses for replacement, but after more than a dozen times in a row, all the Layton war horses began to sneeze constantly, and their footsteps began to be less steady. After all, not to mention the weight of the armor on the knights of the Imperial Knights who were transported, the black-armored knights alone weighed nearly two hundred kilograms after they were fully armoured. Twenty black-armored knights went directly over the carrying line of the plank, and when the weight of a full four tons was dropped, those Layton horses were almost overwhelmed.
Of course, when the black-armored knights began to be transferred, the Grand Knight Captain of the Imperial Knights, Vlavac? Li Wei had already taken the assembled three hundred trainee knights and ran towards the city. Even if they reached the underground world, Chen Kai and the others would need to walk for hours to reach the dwarven city. Of course, because of the existence of the dwarven refugees, the apprentice knights led by Flavaz could take a lot of detours, so it would be much faster than Chen Kai's first trip to Sucheng through the Guò Jewel Abyss Road.
It took less than two hours for the Imperial Knights Apprenticeship led by Vlavac to arrive at the city. But instead of welcome, the roaring cannons and the constant sound of the collapse of the city walls sounded in their ears. In fact, in order to stop the dragon Edmunds, the dwarves of the city made a very surprising move, they directly blasted the rock formation above the city wall. The crumbling rock formations crushed the entire Western Wall and the large swath of the city below, but it also held back the undead army and the dragon Edmuns.
But the same Engels, the general who defended the city, as well as tens of thousands of players and thousands of dwarves guarding the Xicheng District, were also directly crushed by the collapsed rock formations. As for whether anyone will survive. No one knows, at least looking at the constantly crumbling rocks, no one dares to say that Engels they will survive. Because the situation was already very critical at that time, in order to stop Edmonds who was living on the city wall and raging, several saint-level dwarves guarding the city wall, including Engels, attacked almost simultaneously, delaying time with their own lives, and finally let the collapsed rock crush Edmonds underneath. As a result, most players who respawn after a battle assume that Engels, the dwarven general defending the city, must have died. Although Engels did not join the battle at that time, but continued to command the other dwarves to hold their positions, the instantly collapsed rock almost buried the entire western city wall, and in this case, players did not think that Engels, the bald scoop, would survive.
In fact, it is also true, you must know that the dwarves have a habit of building tunnels, and the traps placed on the walls are enough to allow some dwarves to escape in case of emergency. But in the end, there were less than a thousand dwarves who escaped from the underground passages alive and returned to the city. There is no bald scoop of Engels in this. And when the players see this bald dwarf general with a shiny head again, he is no longer a friend, at that time his body is broken and his face is blue, and he has become an undead black dwarf due to a large amount of demonic power transformation, and he will never be able to rest in peace. However, because Engels died defending the city, when he finally got up from hell again, he gathered in this area again with the thousands of dwarves buried by the collapsed rock formations inside him. Strike indiscriminately at anyone who enters the area, even dwarves.
However, the only news that the players and dwarves who escaped back to the city alive now knows is that Engels, the general who defended the city, was killed in battle along with several dwarven holy orders. Although he knew that if the rock layer above was detonated, the city wall below would not be spared. But when he heard the news of Engels' death in battle, Seram still shook his body. As Serram's personal bodyguard, Engels had already followed Serram's side at a fairly young age, and it can be said that the relationship between the two was almost like that of brothers. So when Seram heard the news, he didn't believe it. It wasn't until he confirmed it again and again that he sighed slowly.
"Great Elder! Is Engels already sure that he died in battle? When the messenger had left, Seram still didn't believe what he had heard, and he looked at the old dwarf Mithera standing beside him with a haggard face. But Seram knew very well in his heart that what had been confirmed again and again was probably the truth.
"Yes! Serram! Elder Mithera sighed helplessly. He was well aware that Engels, as the general defending the city, could not escape in battle. If he hadn't had time to hide in the secret passage, then death in battle would have been his final fate. After all, he's just a dwarf, not a pervert like Edmonds. Even if it was crushed by tens of thousands of tons of rock, it did not lose its life, and it still shook under the rock. Obviously, Edmonds, who has an extremely tenacious vitality, will not be crushed to death because of these rocks, of course, tens of thousands of tons of rocks are smashed down at the same time, even if Edmonds is strong enough and controls a certain amount of earth power, he will be hit very harshly. The demons and undead in Xicheng are not expected to pose much danger to Sucheng in a short period of time, but even so, the remaining demon troops are enough for Sucheng to drink a pot.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the southwest city wall had also reached a very critical juncture, and once Edmund broke through the west city wall, the entire city defense system would have collapsed completely, and Engels would not have ordered the rock formation above his head to be blasted and Edmonds would have perished. The result of this was to save part of the city within the western walls, and although the rock formations above his head still collapsed, at least it did not allow Edmonds to break into the city and connect with the demons in the southwest.
If Edmonds were allowed to break through the western wall or even rush to the western inner wall, it is estimated that the collapse of the entire defense line of the city would occur in less than half an hour. Although the dwarves have now lost the important western part of the city, they have completely blocked the enemies of the western part of the rock. Crumbling rocks were the best defense, but the dwarves weren't sure how much such a barrier would do. Because Edmonds is not dead at this moment, but is constantly arching the surrounding rocks with his body, and there are demons and undead around him from time to time to help carry the rocks. But Engels's move completely exceeded the expectations of Latamicius and Edmunds, they never thought that the dwarves would be so ruthless, directly blasting the rock formations above their heads, desperately trying to block Edmunds. And the dwarves did. When the rock crumbled that day, Latamicius, who was happily touching his chin, almost crushed his jaw. As for the Abyss Demon Dragon, which was originally raging on the city walls, in the end, only one tail was left and still exposed outside the collapsed rock.
If it weren't for the fact that his tail was still moving, the white bone demon Latamicius would have thought that the Abyss Demon Dragon had been stoned to death. However, although Edmonds was not stoned to death, so many rocks crushed him underneath, and it took a lot of time just to clean up, so now that Edmonds was not dead, the White Bone Demon began to command his undead troops and began to work hard to carry the rocks to save Edmonds.
But the process was very difficult, as the rock collapse caused by the blasting continued. The undead and demons who work hard to dig the rocks are always ready to endure the danger of being crushed and even killed by the rocks falling overhead. At the same time, the action of the western city wall also made the demons who attacked the city wall in the southwest city have some scruples, and the original crazy offensive has eased slightly, and the demon army that has killed and injured hundreds of demons under the resistance of the dwarf king's guard has retreated like a tide again. Then flying overhead, the little devil continued to frantically smash fireballs at the city wall. Smashes the defender with the shield to the point of vomiting blood.
This was the scene that the apprentice knights of the Imperial Knights saw when they arrived at the city, and for some of them it was the first time they had seen demons. Although many of the Apprentice Knights have been to the city when they escort players to the underground, they have left the city, so they don't know much about the city. Fortunately, at this time, some players of the Scarlet Crusader in Burkna Town received Chen Kai's message and ran to pick up these Imperial Knights, otherwise these Imperial Knights might have lost their way in the city.
"These are the reinforcements sent by the Human Empire on the ground?" Seram looked at the somewhat familiar members of the Imperial Knights, as he had seen them when the Trainee Knights escorted the player to the city. It's just that Seram never thought that the imperial reinforcements he was looking forward to turned out to be three hundred trainee knights, and this gap made Seram almost vomit blood without being depressed. Although a few midshipmen tried to keep their chests high. However, their strength was too poor in the eyes of the Celestial Rank Seram, and they were not even comparable to the elite dwarven warriors. At the very least, Seram can pull out a tenth-order warrior of about 3,000 people in the city and completely crush the trainee knights of more than 300 people.
"Hello! King of the Dwarves! I'm Flavaz? Leevich, Grand Knight Captain of the Third Cadet Knight Detachment of the Imperial Knights! "Look at the dwarven king in front of him. Vlavac? Levitch puffed up his chest, and with the pride of belonging to the Imperial Knights, he proclaimed his existence to the dwarven king of Seram.
"Hello! Vlavac? Grand Knight Captain Levitch! Although he was very dissatisfied with this support army in his heart, in line with the idea that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, Seram still made a welcoming gesture on the surface.
"I don't know if you're the only one supporting the army?" Look at Flavac, who looks very powerful. Seram couldn't help but ask.
"Nope! We are only in the vanguard! The Grand Knight's words relieved Serram, but the next moment he was immediately depressed.
"Baron Berkner's troops will be coming soon!" Hearing this, Seram immediately understood that the so-called follow-up reinforcements turned out to be Chen Kai's troops. But the strength of the troops in the town of Burkner, Seram is very clear. Maybe it's okay to bully those players on the ground, and it's okay if you challenge Drow, but in the underworld, the troops who are attacking Berkner Town in the face of tens of thousands of pure-blood demons are also running to die. Although this sounds a bit hurtful, in fact, even Chen Kai is very helpless about transferring his troops to the underground world, because this is simply sending him to death.
"Are there any other reinforcements?" Seram didn't give up, but he obviously didn't ask the right question, because Vlavaz didn't know exactly how many reinforcements would follow. In fact, although Prime Minister Capello received this bad news, he did not have a place to mobilize troops in a short time, so there were almost no new reinforcements in the ground for a few days. In fact, even if it was to mobilize the troops in Burkner Town, Prime Minister Capello also put a lot of effort into it, because he also knew the situation Chen Kai was facing. If the Black Cavalry and Minotaur Heavy Armours are all wiped out in the Underworld. Chen Kai, who relied on these two forces to maintain the ground and the Zhuoer defensive line, would not be able to support it, and it would not only be Chen Kai's Berkna Town that would be unlucky at that time, but also other surrounding aboriginal territories that relied on Chen Kai's support.
Therefore, although Chen Kai almost evacuated the aboriginal forces in Burkner, it was only superficially evacuated. Chen Kai, the 3,000 black-armored cavalry, mobilized 2,000, leaving 1,000 to be led by Su Wan, and Chen Kai, a heavy force of more than 2,000 minotaurs, was not fully mobilized, leaving 500 minotaurs to be handed over to Alyssa to lead the defense of Burkner Town. If you only rely on these 1,500 troops, at most you can hold the main city of Burkner Town, and the newly opened Fortress Anne has no way to defend it, but fortunately, Chen Kai's newly formed player army can still be slightly competent. So this time, there were not many people who followed Chen Kai to the underground, only five people. One is Chen Kai himself. One is Chen Yi, and the other three are Zhao Tiezhu, who is responsible for protecting Chen Yi, and two earth knights who are the same as Zhao Tiezhu who carry a big shield. Once a dangerous situation arises, Zhao Tiezhu and the three earth knights' only task is to defend Chen Yi to the death and buy her time to escape.
Chen Yi carried a full set of materials for setting up a small altar in her backpack, and she planned to set up an altar on the city wall as soon as she arrived underground, so as to bless her aura effect and scope. But when Seram heard the news, he directly sent Chen Yi three huge light gems born in the underground magma. Although these three gems were not the best magic gems, they were more than a cut short of the top-grade magic gems worth tens of millions in terms of volume, but for Chen Yi, this kind of light gem could effectively increase her magic power.
These three bright gems make Chen Yi's small altar close to a medium-sized altar, but after it is arranged, it can produce nearly thirty square meters of holy land in the place where the altar is located. The abundance of divine power can scorch any demon that tries to get closer, and it's not just the enchantment that doesn't work in this area. As long as the power of the spell touched with the power of the abyss will be reduced by at least thirty percent, and even the power of the fireball shot by the little devil will be greatly reduced. Because of this, Chen Yi and Chen Kai followed Flavaz's footsteps to reach the city, and when Seram sent Flavaz's Imperial Knights to the city wall with his front foot, Chen Kai appeared behind Seram's ass with Chen Yi on his hind foot.
After seeing Chen Kai, Seram was very happy. Originally, because of the death of Engels, the mood was a little gloomy, but also slightly improved. Although he knew very well that Chen Kai's troops might not be able to save the city from danger, they could always help the dwarves who were already in trouble, especially Chen Yi's appearance made Seram even more happy. As a black dwarf who had spent time in Burkner, he was well aware of Chen Yi's abilities on the battlefield. Therefore, without hesitation, he took out the extremely precious Bright Gem and handed it to Chen Yi.
"Engels is dead!" Standing on the inner city wall and watching Chen Yi slowly arrange the altar, Seram said to Chen Kai beside him in an extremely low tone. Fravaz stationed at the walled line not far away? Grand Knight Captain Levitch is talking to Glenn? The copper ingots discussed the position of the garrison, and in the interval between the pause of the little demon attack, the dwarves continued to mobilize various materials to strengthen the city's defense capabilities. At the same time, the closed metal gate under the inner walls and other passages that might allow demons to slip in are completely blocked.
"What?" Chen Kai was a little stunned when he heard Seram's words, and he couldn't come back to his senses when he thought that the dwarf who was shouting loudly not long ago and was not allowed to call Lao Tzu bald had died. Although he knew very well that in such a battle, not to mention Engels, one accidentally even Seram might be killed in battle, but it was one thing to be clear, but it was another thing to really hear the news. At the beginning, Engels took the dwarf to climb a cliff thousands of meters high and ran to the town of Burkner to ask for help, and earlier he and Seram met Chen Kai and them in the underground world, as a familiar black dwarf Chen Kai was not the first to call him bald, but he was definitely one of the few players who had a good relationship with Engels.
"I think you saw it too! A few hours ago, Edmonds attacked the Western Wall again! In order to stop him, Engels blasted the rock formations above his head and died with the evil dragon! As much as I wished he could escape from the tunnel, I waited hours to send hundreds of dwarves to dig up the collapsed passage, but there was no news of him! Seram's face was bitter, and it was generally impossible to be considered dead in battle after only a few hours of disappearance, but the dwarves had a special way of determining the death of their clansmen, especially a general like Engels.
