Chapter Eighty-Nine: Daru Gain
Although Lu Gain is already far east to the west of the Taymor Heights, the people there do not seem to have used the Taymor Heights as their axis, and they are still accustomed to calling their place the Western Kingdom.
Further east of Lu Gain is the boundless Twin Seas, which separate two adjacent continents, and from here, it is not wrong for Lu Gain to think that he is the Western Kingdom.
And the royal capital of the Western Kingdom, the city of Lu Gaoin, which has the title of the pearl of the desert, is a giant commercial city that merchants yearn for.
Heading east, you will cross the Twin Seas to reach the eastern continent, where the mysterious ancient city of Kurast is located.
If west of the Taymor Heights is the sea of the steppe, and Lu Gain is the sea of the desert, then Kurast is the sea of forests, and the vast dark forests are like small puddles to the Twin Seas compared to the tropical primeval forests there.
The south of Lu Gain, in contrast to the water world of the Twin Seas in the East, is a dry desert of death.
No one can know where the center of this desert is, and none of the adventurers who try to break into the depths of the desert will return.
Unlike the Aranok Desert, this desert is a windy season all year round, with black sandstorms raging at any time of the day and terrifying tornadoes often visible.
It is said that in the deepest part of this desert, there is a place known as the "Gorge of Warlocks", which is the burial place of the Heradic clan.
The greatest magician in the history of the Heradic family, Ta Rasha, is buried here, using his soul to suppress the Lord of Destruction, Baal.
It is said that the ancient tomb of Ta Lasha hides the endless treasures of the Hradic clan, where there is the magic inheritance of Ta Lasha, and there is the best magic equipment that Ta Lasha is rampant in the world.
All of a sudden, countless adventurers flocked here, but unfortunately no one could pass through that Death Desert, even in ancient times, where the force value was several grades stronger than now, I had never heard of anyone who could find the Warlock's Canyon, let alone now?
As for how the Heradics got in and out of it, it has been a mystery throughout the Dark World.
However, Yang Yifei knew.
When he listened to Decca Kane talk about the Warlock's Canyon on the way, he had an inexplicable smile on his face.
I have to say that the Heradic clan is indeed great, they used magical magic to create a different dimension called "Shelter" in the underground prison of the palace, using the worm gate as an entrance.
Through this mysterious sanctuary, it is possible to safely enter the Warlock's Canyon.
But thousands of years later, with the decline of the Heradic clan, no one knows this secret, but Diablo knows, so Jehein is doomed to tragedy.
However, this is also just the cheapest Yang Yifei, and when the demon slaughters Jie Haiin's palace to the ground, then the Luoge Liberation Army will come out to clean up the mess, and Lu Gaoyin will be in his pocket.
This can't be blamed on Yang Yifei's cold-bloodedness, after all, Lu Gaoyin is an independent country, Yang Yifei wants to unify this world, sooner or later he will have to start a war with Jie Haiyin, and more people will die at that time.
Unless Jerhein is a king who understands the righteousness and is willing to take the initiative to surrender the country, this battle cannot be avoided.
But is it possible? No king can give up his inheritance, and every unity in the world is accompanied by war and bloodshed.
Yang Yifei's only hope is that at least for now, Jie Haiyin will not make trouble with him, because the main enemy now is the demon.
……
After more than a month of marching, the desert pearl city finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Just after noon, Lu Gauin looked so majestic in the golden sunlight that the 20-meter-high wall stretched into the distance, and it was almost impossible to see the edge.
In the CG cutscene of the game, the scene of the dark wanderer standing on the sand dune and looking down is the true appearance of Lu Gaoin, and the picture shown in the game, Yang Yifei can only say...... What a thing.
On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city noticed a black line emerging from behind a sand dune in the distance, and they were immediately startled, thinking that there were also demons in the desert.
After seeing the situation clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a human team, but depending on the situation, this should be an army.
There is no need for other evidence, the uniform dress on the other side can already explain the situation, only the army will dress uniformly.
They turned out to be from the West, could it be said that Andariel has already been defeated?
In any case, this matter must be reported, after all, there are quite a few people on the other side.
A centurion on duty on the city wall said to a centurion, "Go and tell the commander of the legion that an unidentified army is coming from the west, numbering about 3,500 men. ”
"Yes."
At the same time, a group of soldiers dressed completely differently from those defending the city, wearing chain mail, a red scarf around their necks, and holding sharp spears, also spotted Yang Yifei and his party.
A middle-aged man with a beard under his chin leaned into the ear of one of his subordinates and whispered, "Go and tell the regiment commander that the people from the west are coming, and the speed should be fast." ”
A look of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, but he did not hesitate to give his command, and turned to descend the wall, mounted a horse, and galloped north.
The defenders rode in the direction of the palace to the northwest, where the residence of the captain of the Royal Knights of Lou Gauin was also located.
After Cascindi and the others returned to Ru Gain, they only reported the situation in the west to Grez, who had privately convened a secret meeting of his subordinates, so his mercenaries above the captain level knew about it.
Grace has been looking forward to Yang Yifei and them coming, but he also knows that it is the wind season at this time, and the other party may not come over so soon, so the result is nearly half a year.
Greze's mercenary group is stationed in the northern part of Ru Gain, near the North Gate, where demons often invade Ru Gain due to the connection to the Gravel Wasteland.
When the demons appeared outside of Lu Gauin, Jehein initially launched several battles against the demons, and the result was that the army suffered heavy casualties and retreated.
Because of this wrong decision, the defense of the city was greatly weakened, and the number of troops was seriously insufficient, and Jehein had to pay for Grez's mercenary group to help him defend the city, but he never dared to mention the fight again.
When Grez received the report from his men, without saying a word, he immediately rushed out of the camp, ordered his men to bring his mounts, and rode to the west city.
When he arrived, Lou Gayne's new Legion Commander of the Royal Knights Rald had arrived, but the atmosphere didn't seem to be friendly.
The former Captain of the Royal Knights was killed in battle with the Demons, and Ralde, who had just been promoted, was previously the Commander of the Royal Guard.
When Grace went up to the city wall, he happened to hear Ralde say loudly: "You can enter the city, but no more than 20 people at most, and the others can only be stationed outside the city, this is our bottom line." ”
An unhurried and clear male voice sounded from under the city walls, "Can you represent your king?" ”
