Chapter 195: Is It Okay to Get Serious?
A single abyss boss-level boss and a group of abyss cannon fodder miscellaneous soldiers are completely two concepts, although the former may be very powerful, but after all, there is only one person, and it is not impossible to deal with it if you think about it carefully, and it will not cause much harm to limit its range of activities to a small place;
It's like the difference between biochemical monsters and ordinary zombies in the movie, after all, the erosion of the abyss can also spread quickly on a large scale, and the more miscellaneous soldiers as the source of infection, the more troublesome it is.
And if the two act in combination with each other, it will naturally be even more troublesome - unfortunately, judging from the information that Nangong Rong has so far, it seems that the abyss is doing this.
Dinner soon turned into a meeting, and the boy then took Lin Weiyin to Tolonso to say goodbye, and hurriedly found Octavir, who was dining with Ley by the fountain in the courtyard while admiring the red and purple moons in the sky.
"What a surprise, I thought you would be pestered by others to ask for a duel or be pestered by others to toast and you can't leave, but I didn't expect to come in front of me. How could those people be willing to let you go?"
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess opened her mouth for the first time, Nangong Rong couldn't help but have black lines on her head, and the young man lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose and said in pain: "Since you know that I may be troubled by them, then please go to the town, okay?" Although under the deterrence of the old man Toronso, no guy really came to trouble me. None of this is mentioned, I have bad news to say, you should let the idlers and others step down. ”
Without thinking, Octavir waved at the servants who were serving the siblings' meal under Ley's surprised gaze, and they all saluted and left the courtyard.
After all the servants had left, the little emperor couldn't help but say to the girl with a little surprise: "Sister Taver, I didn't expect you to believe him so much. If this had been before, you would never have done that. ”
At this time, the eldest princess realized what she had done, but she still put on a look of not caring much, spread her hands and said, "It's okay, Charlotte and Nakiris are nearby, and I can summon the Phantom Phoenix at any time, and there will be no situation like what you feared." ”
"Sister, your eyes are skimmed to the side. ”
"No road race.,It's good to treat the details as if you haven't seen them.,Holding on to it will make the girl you like disgusted!"
"Big husband, even if she hates me, I can get her to my side in the name of choosing a concubine. ”
Seriously unexpected, the god's answer made Octavir hang on the spot and fall to the ground, slapping the table with a smile and saying angrily: "Charlot, you roll over here and tell me more about what strange things you taught Ley when I entered the academy and wasn't by Rey's side!?"
The knight did not respond to the eldest princess's roar, but the voice of Nakiris, which seemed to be far away, was not very loud, "Na, Charlot, I just heard Taver calling you?"
"No, I didn't hear it, you must be mistaken. Charlotte's voice was similarly quiet, and his tone was as flat as if nothing had happened.
"Huh, but I ...... it."
"Leave that alone, how about I take you to the kitchen for pastry?"
"Go, go!"
Nangong Rong raised his hand expressionlessly and patted Lin Weiyin's little head, who was desperately holding back laughter and even tears seeping out of the corners of his eyes, gently pressed and rubbed it twice, signaling the little girl not to be too public, and then unhurriedly said to the eldest princess with a gloomy face: "Can we start discussing business?"
Lai Yi also trembled and tried to hold back a smile, turned to look at Nangong Rong and said, "Aren't you going to ask Charlotte why he is not guarding by our side?"
The boy replied on the spot without thinking and irresponsibly: "Naturally, Nakiris's quarrel was boring, so he had no choice but to go out and walk Lori." ”
"What the hell is this argument that makes people want to refute it out loud, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be wrong......
Octavir finally calmed down at this moment, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said with his usual indifferent appearance: "I'll talk about Charlotte's affairs later, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to settle accounts with him." So Nangong Rong, what is the serious thing you just mentioned?"
"The abyss is coming, not the boss we thought might be hiding in the shadows, but a large group. ”
Nangong Rong briefly retold the news conveyed by Adjutant Toronso to everyone, and at the same time succeeded in making Her Royal Highness the eldest princess frown deeply. If there is really a large-scale erosion phenomenon in Mangrove Ridge, it will be difficult for anyone to easily escape from this almost isolated place, and if even the sky is blocked by the other party, even those three lords will not be able to escape.
Now that the alliance is basically finished, if they can bury all the royal family and the three most powerful lords here in Mangrove Ridge, the empire will also fall completely, and for the abyss, they will not encounter any more noteworthy opponents when they conquer the world in the future, there is no reason not to do so.
"I just want to know why the coalition forces didn't find out about the Abyss's actions, it stands to reason that it was their people who were attacked, even if they were surrounded by the Abyss and couldn't escape, it was okay to send a warning by radio?" Octavir said with a puzzled look pinching the hair around her ear, "Why didn't the other side notice anything unusual, otherwise they wouldn't have attacked us with great fanfare today." ”
The undead controlled by the Abyss, no matter how disguised they may be, can completely deceive the supply convoys that come all the way, and they will not even have a single survivor when they attack the coalition forces occupying important places such as villages and towns, right?
Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this, but what Octavir and the others did not expect was that there was a local from Mangrove Ridge in the Abyss team. Not only did he help Abyss bypass the heavily guarded pass by the coalition forces and enter Mangrove Ridge through the little-known trail in Echo Canyon, but he was also very familiar with the army, suggesting to Abyss that it interfere with radio communications before the battle began, and even specially brewed a large number of fast-running rabbit-shaped monsters to hunt the survivors who fled the battlefield, successfully preventing the soldiers from trying to relay the news to the outside world.
If you change to Rogge who doesn't care much about the subsections, or other ordinary abyssal monsters who don't care much about the subsections, you can't think of these, only humans can. It's a pity that the eldest princess and the others don't know about this yet, and everyone is also confused about the situation that the coalition forces haven't been able to detect in time.
But to be reasonable, if it weren't for the audacity of those civilians who wanted to sneak back to their village to get some items, Old Man Toronso probably wouldn't have noticed it either.
"No matter what means the enemy uses, there is no need to analyze it carefully now, the most important thing is to find a way to let the three guys outside know and stop the attack on Taven City, and everyone join hands to fight against the abyss. Rey's face couldn't help but show a helpless expression as he spoke, obviously he knew how difficult it would be, "But even if I stand on the wall myself tomorrow and shout at each other with amplification magic, they won't believe it." ”
The reason why the three coalition forces dared to come to Mangrove Ridge to make trouble for the little emperor in the face of the world's condemnation was because they knew very well that the royal family, which had not long since lost Ledana and the main army, was the weakest at this time, and if the royalists were allowed to gather their strength in the hands of Ley, they would never find a better opportunity than now. That's why the coalition forces will fly into action and strive for a quick victory at Mangrove Ridge, and they can only do it quickly.
Previously, they had wasted several days of time in order to mobilize the flying demonic beasts, but now that they finally saw Taven City, their eyes had already turned red, and they were all like gentlemen who couldn't wait to push her down after finally getting their hands on the girl, and now the girl actually planned to let her wait and say that she needed time to prepare mentally, how could she wait?
I'm afraid that the other party will be more eager to order the troops to rush forward like crazy after seeing Ley show up.
Octavir imagined for a moment the scene of his brother climbing the wall and shouting at the coalition forces, and then shook his head very decisively and said, "No way, they won't believe it 100%, but will think that we are trying to stall for time." Rather than discussing how to cooperate with the other side to fight the Abyss, I think it would be more reasonable to discuss whether or not Taven should be abandoned. ”
"Are you going to give up your city again?"
Nangong Rong, who was digging his ears with his little finger, had a nonchalant expression on his face, and his tone was also a little too flat, which made the eldest princess couldn't help but explode in an instant: "Do you think I'm willing to give up these cities casually, I actually don't want to! But there is no way, if all the troops responsible for maintaining the back road of the coalition army have become undead, it means that most of the Mangrove Ridge has been occupied by the abyss." Once they have attacked the coalition forces from behind and wiped them all out and surrounded Taven, it will be much more difficult for us to leave. ”
This is indeed the truth, and the power that the royal family can get from the supporters has not yet been integrated, and for the sisters and brothers, it is the state of [leaving the green mountains without fear of no firewood], and the situation of Lin Weiyin, who died in order to defend the coastal city and could not take a step back, was completely different.
Am I being affected a lot by my cheap sister?" Nangong Rong smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, and then shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm just here to work, you're the boss, just let me do what I want." So, do you have any specific advice for running away?"
"Yes, the old man has built an underground passage in the city, which leads directly to the outside. Although nearby Rey, he tugged at the corner of the eldest princess's coat and tried to remind her quietly, but the girl didn't seem to care, and continued to say seriously, "Although the surrounding boundary of Mangrove Ridge is impassable mangrove forest, it is not completely airtight, and there is a path connecting this place to Echo Canyon, from which we can leave. ”
The little emperor with black lines on his head put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply: "Sister Taver, I have completely convinced you, is it really okay to tell them such important information in this way?" Of course, I am not suspicious of the two, but ......"
The young man replied with an indifferent smile: "I understand, Your Majesty." Actually, you don't need to worry at all, Wei Yin and I are only two people after all, even if you really want to do something, you don't have that much energy. But Octavier, I don't remember when you trusted me like that, and now you are telling me such important news, do you want me and Viin to go over and find your way first?"
After all, judging from the map, the area between Taven City and Echo Canyon should have been occupied by the abyss, and no one can guarantee the safety of the road ahead, so it is natural for Nangong Rong to think so.
It's just that for some reason, Octavir's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and then he changed to a crying and laughing expression on his face: "Well, you should be like this, and then it is really necessary to send someone to explore the way and ensure safety." So, what is your answer?"
"Let's wait until we've fought with the abyss. Nangong Rong replied in an instant without hesitation, "It's your business to think about the back road before you start fighting, but for us, it's not necessary, it will only reduce your own morale." Besides, the main force of the abyss is raging everywhere in the alliance at the moment, and most of the people who appear in the Mangrove Ridge are just enemy special forces, and the scale should not be very large. It's just that considering the reaction of the crystal weapon in your hand, the leader in charge is probably a rather difficult strong person to deal with. ”
After listening to the young man's analysis, the eldest princess also nodded approvingly: "Well, it should be like this." But even if he is the only one who is strong, there are still a large number of ordinary troops in the abyss, and the number will increase rapidly with the casualties of the coalition forces, we don't have much chance, right?"
"You mean a chance to defeat the other side, sorry, but I don't think it's very likely, at least for now, because he has a large army behind him. Unless your reinforcements arrive in time, even if we gather the coalition forces that have been crippled by the abyss, we won't be able to stop them for long. ”
In the absence of heavy firepower, it is impossible to let ordinary soldiers fight against the abyssal cannon fodder, the premise must be superior in numbers, but now according to the worst-case scenario, the number of abyssal monsters will only be more than the ordinary soldiers in Taven City in the end.
As for the royalist reinforcements, they will be able to arrive in another ten days and a half months.
