Twenty-one Go into the depths

I heard Baudelaire shouting, "How much damage?" ”

Soon the soldiers reported a hundred dead and three hundred wounded, and that our Rangers had lost more than twenty dead, which was sad, but also expected, and we had no time to mourn for them.

The Sword-and-Shield Society's armored warriors use jets to fly down the slope and into the corridor, illuminating the sky below with high-powered searchlights. The Rangers took cover from above, shooting sporadic demons, and the two sides worked together fairly well.

The sword and shield will find the small nests and use the cart to drop the high-yield aether bomb into it, and after a flash of fire, the nest will smell burnt and the seal will be completed.

Norman shouted, "Little, little! Don't worry, we still have time, let these demons taste the power of my sword! ”

She was extremely excited, and when she saw a demon attacking, she immediately rushed forward and killed the demon with her telepathic blade, even if the demon escaped, it could not escape her sword. Her telepathic blade could reach twenty meters away, and its power was truly amazing.

Another hermit, Nev Overlord, is even more dazzling with his spells, followed by a three-meter-tall puppet, which is usually invisible, but Nev can summon it at any time. When the golem catches the demon, the demon will turn blood-red and be engulfed in magma after a few seconds, although the demon is not very afraid of fire, but it cannot withstand such a scorching fire.

Vasilissa said to Le Steel: "How do you think our fighters are performing?" ”

Le Gang replied: "Very remarkable, this is almost the pinnacle of cold weapon performance." But doesn't the Duke think that with firearms, the battle will be easier? ”

Vasilisa said, "Everyone knows that this is a drawback, but no one can break the tradition of the Sword and Shield Society. ”

The crevasse behind the promenade has red soil and stone walls, and walking through it makes me feel as if I have fallen into the stomach of a whale. In some places, the vastness was vast and the smoke was billowing out, so we stopped so that the battle line would not be too long and the forces would be weak, and we sent sentinels to reconnoiter before making a decision.

After the exploration, this plain is about three kilometers long and wide, and there are nests all over the way, and the large number of aether bombs prepared by the Sword and Shield Society cannot be taken into account, and those who are too far away can only turn a blind eye.

Le Gang asked, "Will the devil attack our rear and block our retreat?" It is too dangerous to leave such a hidden danger behind. ”

Vasilisa said, "Then, our troops will be divided into three routes, some will stay above to support, some will stay on the first floor to monitor these lairs, and some will go to the next level to attack the facilities of the Epoch Empire. ”

Mai Zong approached Vasilissa: "My people and I are willing to stay in this plain, all we need is enough." ”

Vasilisa looked at Mai Zong suspiciously, and said, "This task is very important, and there is no room for failure, in case a large number of demons appear from behind, we will be flanked from the front and rear, and I am afraid that we will be completely annihilated." ”

Mai Zong replied: "My own life is at stake, and I will not treat it as child's play." ”

Vasilissa said: "Neff! You take two hundred swordsmen and accompany Mai Zong! As she spoke, she stared at Mai Zong, as if defiant.

Mai Zong has no objection.

At the end of the plain, we saw huge cranes lifting heavy machines down by iron cables. The Anno Empire has been busy in this rift for a long time, and these cranes have been covered in a thick layer of red dust.

I saw some Sword and Shield soldiers in light armor, they had special devices behind their backs, and when activated, they became invisible, they had suction cups in their hands, ropes tied to their waists, and they started to climb downwards.

I felt the soldiers shaken and heard their heavy breathing, and some of the female soldiers, weeping, mourning for their dead comrades.

They are scared, and the fear is growing, and I can relate to it, because I can smell the fear.

I heard someone in the Sword and Shield Society whispering, "What else is down there?" More demons? ”

Someone replied, "Not only are there demons, but I'm afraid they are also demons carefully selected by the Era Empire." ”

"Can we make it back alive then?"

The people around him didn't answer for a long time.

Lamia walked up to the soldiers and said loudly, "If we retreat now, then, in the future, the Era Empire will launch a stronger and more terrifying offensive, and it will be up to them to decide when and where to start that war."

That's right, as long as we retreat, today and tomorrow, we can live smoothly. But what about a month later? Perhaps we will face more demons and more powerful war machines in the Anno Empire. And we, the survivors, will be terrified and repentant every day after that, until inevitable destruction comes.

Now, it is we who have the advantage, and it is the enemy who is at stake, so why panic? It's the people of the Epoch Empire who should be afraid of us! ”

Encouraged by this, the soldiers raised their swords and cried out: "Yes, it is the enemy who should be afraid of us!" "Thank you, valiant sir!"

I saw Salvador and Horti on the other side of the crowd, and Lamia didn't go to them and didn't show concern. She may have thought that this operation would not allow her to be swayed by her family's affection, but I know that she was terribly worried that she would see El Salvador's death or injury, and that turning a blind eye would increase El Salvador's luck.

I didn't see Misser either, he was definitely on the same team as El Salvador.

The soldiers of all parts were inspired by Lamia and were boosting morale. I looked at my watch, it had been a whole day, and the one from the Anno Empire... The factory will be completed the next day, but I don't know when.

Half an hour later, the light-armored swordsmen who had gone down to explore the path had not returned, and there was no radio message. Norman said, "Don't wait! Let's go down the cliff! ”

The heavily armored warriors of the Sword and Shield Society began to descend the mountain, and the Rangers took aim with their guns to prevent the flying demons from attacking from the air.

Suddenly, someone at the bottom of the mountain snorted, and another shouted, "There is a demon hiding in the cliff!" "The one who shouts is Milser.

Norman exclaimed, "What? "They turned on their strong searchlights and shone downwards, and at a rough count, there were at least twenty fewer people. At the same time, I can also see that there are small holes in the rock wall, and in the blink of an eye, the small holes are closed.

Mirse roared, and a sword stabbed into the rock wall, and there was a terrifying cry from the rock wall, and a greenish-black shadow fell out and fell straight to the bottom of the valley, which was roughly estimated to be about three hundred meters deep.

"Down, down quickly, beware of the demons in the walls!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the walls melted, revealing the demons hiding in them, like vagabonds wrapped in a large tarpaulin, holding hooks and knives and forks in each hand, and striking at the knight who was in mid-air.

The Rangers fired a burst of gunfire that struck the demons' tarpaulins like raindrops on ponchos, failing to seriously injure them. Mirse's heavy sword slashed hard, striking the oilcloth demon above and below, but several knights had already been dragged into the wall.

I shouted, "Lamia, play with Excalibur!" "Grabbed a rope and fell downward, braking in mid-air, slashing a god-killing slash that threw several oilcloth demons out of the wall. The upper rangers fired Excalibur bullets and killed the demon. I looked in the direction and used the rapids to support the soldiers who were in critical condition, but there were still people who disappeared into the walls.

Duke Dunn held a detector-like device in his hand and pierced it into the soil, and after about a minute, he said, "There are a hundred of them!" Let Nev hegemony come, they are afraid of fire! I've put the fuse on them. ”

Soon after, Nev Overlord arrives and instructs his golem to act, and the golem stabs his palm into the ground, and two minutes later, the walls turn red, the stones turn to magma, the flames flutter, and the oilcloth demons turn into fireballs, let out a terrible roar, and fall downwards until they disappear completely.

The armor of the Sword and Shield Society could protect them from heat, and the hot rock wall could not hurt them for a moment, and in about ten minutes, Neff Overlord cleared all the oilcloth demons. He looked tired.

The knights accelerated their descent and landed smoothly, illuminating the walls with searchlights. They pointed their crossbows upwards to prevent anything else from happening.

After I landed, I looked at the corpses of these oilcloth demons, after lifting the oilcloth, they were dry and black, ugly in appearance, staring at a pair of red eyes, they had no hands, the palms of their hands were transformed into hooks and other tools, extremely sharp, some oilcloth demons still had swords and shields on their hands, and the hooks pierced deep into the throat, making people unable to make a sound.

Milsey sighed: "Rest in peace, valorous fellow. ”

At this point, the hook broke through the ground, pierced through the armor, and pierced Mirse's ankle, who fell into the red clay along with many knights. The warriors roared and denounced: "In the soil, in the soil!" ”

I immediately resorted to shepherding the sheep, grabbed Milse, and cried out, "Hold on! "The oilcloth demon in the soil hooked me with a hook, and I activated the iron lotus to bounce the hook away, but the hook was too sharp, and there was danger for a while.

Mirse mustered up all his strength and slashed downward, his telekinetic blade like a hammer, instantly smashing the demons in the dirt into flesh. He reluctantly said, "This hook.... I can't move my legs! "I jumped to the top with him in my arms, pulled out the hook, and the blood rushed wildly, and I immediately gave him a therapeutic injection to stop the bleeding, and Mirse endured it, but his legs were still paralyzed.

Vasilisa said, "Patience, Milse, drink my blood." Misser shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, no need, my lord!" "Vasilissa is an extremely ancient bloodline, her blood is an elixir for mortals, I have long been blessed by it, but Mirse is not like me, he is not resistant to poison, and when he drinks blood, he will become a ghoul.

Vasilisa sighed, and suddenly melted into the red earth, which was the admonishment of the Ganger blood, and Legang immediately melted into the earth like Vasilissa.

I went into the shadows, and I burrowed into the ground, and saw these two bloodthirsty beasts slaughtering the oilcloth demons so that their hooks could not reach them. I also followed the shadows to assassinate these demons, and they panicked and fled as if they were swimming in the dirt.

Vasilisa screamed in pursuit, and Le Steel was not far behind, they brutally pursued the prey, biting them apart and tearing them apart, and the blood of the oilcloth demon turned the red earth into mud.

I looked back at Mirse, and it seemed that a dark-skinned woman had appeared beside him, but in the blink of an eye, the woman had disappeared without a trace.
