Volume 1 The Beginning of the White Capital Chapter 61 The Black Abyss Strikes
After meeting at the fork in the road, Chen Yuan and Apollo came to the northernmost part of the town under the 'city wall', where the garrison of the clan land was located.
Different from the stone and even steel walls of the Terrans, the 'walls' used by the forest elves to defend the town were formed by vegetation mixed with trees, and were catalyzed by special great druids.
If it weren't for the thick vegetation 'city walls' on all sides, there would not even be a forest elf alive to break through in that scene a year later.
After some registration and reporting, Chen Yuan and Apollo gloriously became a 'reserve' soldier, that is, a militia.
The first three days of the week were spent patrolling the southernmost part of the clan with three other duos, and the last day was spent at the western gate of the town.
As expected, the task that is not too heavy does not take up much time, and at the same time, Chen Yuan can also conduct self-cultivation while patrolling and stationing, and there is basically no conflict.
Getting the assigned uniforms in hand, the reporting officer of the security department waved his hand to signal the two to leave quickly, and muttered something to the same clan that had never seen such an ugly person.
It was not the first time that Chen Yuan, who had heard similar words, did not pay any attention to it, and dragged Apollo, who had a somewhat bad face on the side, out.
In another year, most of the elves here will be dead, so what's the competition with the dead.....
However, although the mocking tone in the dragons' words is very poor, what they say is indeed true.
With Chen Yuan and Apollo's current body shape, in terms of the aesthetics of the forest elf clan, they are indeed extremely ugly and weak.
The forest elves only believe in thin and slender body shapes and corresponding appearances, and extremely alternative muscular short men like Chen Yuan and Apollo are not only thin and smooth enough, but also short, which simply violates the aesthetic taboo of all forest elves.
Chen Yuan doesn't matter, if you think it's ugly, it's ugly, as long as you don't become bald, I'm willing to be ugly in order to become stronger.
Returning to the wooden house again, he casually threw the uniform he received on the sofa, Chen Yuan pulled out the chair and opened the book 'poof', starting the beautiful study time of the day.
Mornings and noons have been wasted, and the good times of the afternoon can no longer be wasted on things that don't make sense.
The brick book is still less than 10 percent away from being fully understood, and when all the knowledge is completed, the final preparations will begin.
To deal with a large number of 'Black Abyss' troops, Chen Yuan was not confident that one person could solve the battle with one shot.
In order to 'entertain' them well, Chen Yuan had already planned to prepare the next big gift.
.....
"Daddy!? Daddy, how are you? Daddy....."
As the blurred figure in front of him shook, Daddy's consciousness began to gradually wake up, and his eyes, which were partially infected by blood, finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
"Bees, old man, I'm fine, I can't die yet."
"Whew."
As Daddy spoke, the hunters around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the sudden disadvantage of the battle situation, Daddy and everyone had to retreat to the City of Griffins, and Daddy was forced to endure the siege of three fourth-order 'tyrannical lizards' as a member of the broken back, and immediately fell into a coma after being rescued by everyone using a sling.
At this time, waking up, in addition to feeling that his increasingly old body had reached its limit, even the dark wounds in his body and the excessive energy used in his body began to eat him.
Bursts of pain came, and Daddy stood up with a little trembling on his face without changing his face, without saying a word.
The hunters gathered around were also gloomy at this time, and the air around them became extremely oppressive.
Today is the second day of the battle with the vanguard of the 'Black Abyss', and nearly two hundred soldiers have been killed or seriously wounded, and the entire city of griffons has mobilized its combat strength to defend this section of the wall.
The people of the villages around the city of griffons have been warned of the disaster by the soldiers, and most of the people in the villages have successfully returned to the city of griffons, and after determining the number of 'black abyss' troops, the lord of the city immediately ordered all the bridges connecting the city of griffons to be blown up.
Even so, the monsters of the 'Black Abyss' still forged a new and wider 'Flesh Bridge' on one of the broken bridges with their flesh and blood and spells.
The tragic siege battle began.
On the first day, the Terrans were able to rely on the advantages of the city walls to occupy the upper points, and with the arrival of the siege group in the vanguard on the second day, the situation began to be reversed.
The widespread use of weapons of destruction had dealt a devastating blow to the defensive line beneath the walls, and the soldiers and soldiers who had retreated to the walls to continue defending still had to deal with the remaining siege engines.
Daddy and the hunters were hiding in a tower on the left side of the wall, which was a great terrain for the lethality of archers.
But as the sky burned with blazing flames and clusters of dark elemental projectile heavy crossbows continued to fall, the hunters had no chance to emerge at all, and could only huddle in the strong fortifications and wait for the next wave of blows before they could attack for a short time.
The mage troops assembled behind the city wall constantly used protective legion skills to protect the city wall, and at the same time were able to intercept some attacks that crossed the city wall, and the light curtain that seemed to be crumbling was unexpectedly strong, which had become a key factor for the Terrans to maintain the stability of the defensive circle at this time.
"Alpha, prepare. It's our turn, and I can already smell the stench of the 'Black Abyss' crumbs. ”
Above the City Lord's Palace, on the top floor of the tallest bell tower, an old man holding an electric flickering staff kept rubbing his severed fingers, and in the shadows on the other side, a tall man with two knives was slowly walking out.
The griffin lord who was sitting on the throne not far away also opened his eyes from his false sleep at this time.
"Sure enough, it's been too long since I've used a knife against those miscellaneous pieces, I didn't expect it, but it's only a hundred years, but a hundred years! Hahaha! Our Bai Xiao's name of 'Blood Lion' is no longer useful, my 'dear' brother. ”
"Herald!"
"Here!"
"Pass the order, the 'Wild Lions' legion will be assembled immediately, and I will let those bastards re-imprint fear back into their stupid minds!"
"Yes!"
.....
"John, are you there?"
'Squeak'
The door opened, Chen Yuan looked at Apollo in front of him, today's sudden visit was not expected by Chen Yuan.
"Why don't you improve your 'Fire Hammer', why are you here for me?"
"I've improved the 'Fire Hammer', and I'm here today for some other things." As he spoke, Apollo looked around.
"Come in first." Chen Yuan gave up space.
Placing a cup of black tea with full heat in front of Apollo, Chen Yuan picked up his teacup and blew the hot air.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on."
"I got news from my father this morning, saying that there was a sudden rout on the battlefield in the south, and it has been confirmed that a large number of 'Black Abyss' troops are crossing the space wall to increase their strength."
"And in the Forest Elf War Zone in other regions, there are also several battlefields that have similar situations on our side."
"If nothing else, we may be on the battlefield in a while."
Apollo spoke a little quickly, and he could hear a little impatience and restlessness in his words.
Although it was bad news, this was already expected by Chen Yuan.
Although I don't know the specific situation, Apollo in the last scene has a combat team, and it is obvious that he is also in the army, so Chen Yuan is a little prepared for the current situation.
At first, it was just because he wasn't sure whether the plot changes he brought would affect the subsequent events, but now Apollo's words still shattered Chen Yuan's luck.
Compared to being able to spend the last year safely as a reserve guard in the town, going to the battlefield will undoubtedly have a certain impact on Chen Yuan's plan, both from the perspective of time and security.
But there is no way, if the convening order is really issued, Chen Yuan can only start his plan B, but the difficulty has increased, and I don't know if it will be in time.
"Just go, you're still afraid of blowing the other side's head?"
As early as five years ago, Lao Deadwood secretly took them to the smallest war zone to exercise, and the beautiful name was 'hunting', but in fact, it was to find a few unlucky people who were lone to test their guns.
Coincidentally, all of them were found in the humanoid 'Black Abyss' race.
At that time, the two of them who blew up the heads of a few unlucky people like watermelons had already experienced the killing of the battlefield, and Chen Yuan didn't care about going to the battlefield except for feeling troublesome.
"I just think something is wrong, obviously the battlefield has been shrinking year by year, why did the 'Black Abyss' suddenly choose to increase the number of troops."
"Whatever it is, according to the old dead wood, just blow it up, and everything will stop."
Chen Yuan drank the black tea, poured a new cup and added two more sugar cubes.
"I think you're worried about your family, that battlefield must be the closest place to us, right?"
Apollo didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes had already given Chen Yuan an answer.
For those who know the plot in the future, Chen Yuan knows that the town in front of him will inevitably be invaded by war, and that battlefield cannot be defended, even if they go there, there will not be too many heavy firepower, and the use on the huge battlefield is very limited.
So it was inevitable to face the 'Black Abyss' team after that.
"During this time, I will rush to make traps, whether it is going to the battlefield or whatever, only if I have the strength to deal with it can face the situation head-on."
Chen Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but Apollo had already heard the meaning of Chen Yuan's words.
Because of Chen Yuan's reminder and some plot changes, Apollo's parents were not killed, and after returning home after a long absence, it can be seen that Apollo has been deeply immersed in the gentle country and relaxed a lot.
This is the worst news for Chen Yuan at the moment, there is not much time for them to prepare, and any relaxation will increase the chance of failure in the end.
