Chapter 776: Julius
After the fall of the Marshal's Palace, the news of the imminent invasion of the Underworld Legion in Vladdy City had been circulating in the streets and alleys for a long time, but people just regarded it as a joke and did not cause panic.
After all, this is Vladdy City, the real southernmost point of the gathering place of the human world, facing the danger of the lizard army slaughtering the city at any time, and they have survived here safely for more than ten years, and they have long been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, as long as the Red Dragon Army does not open their mouths to confirm, how can ordinary people care about so many rumors.
It was only after Vitruvius made an impassioned mobilization that the professionals of Vladdy City paid attention, and they sent people to inquire about the Red Dragons, who directly gave them a positive answer.
Vladdy City is about to be destroyed, so all the pro teams should flee for their lives.
The professional corps that received an affirmative answer didn't even have time to open their mouths to scold, and they walked away.
Most of the professional legions believed in their own strength, and chose to stay away from Vladdy City and escape into the Swamp.
The human professions are extremely capable of surviving, they break into the swamp and live for months and years without any problems, and the northern fortresses of Pergamon rely on champion knights with spears in their hands galloping across the country; The Southern Kidner Fortress relied on professionals, with a team of five fighting guerrillas in the swamps.
The tactics of human professionals in the north and south are completely different, the north is good at fighting group warfare, and the south likes to fight harassment warfare, each with its own strengths......
As for the large number of ordinary people in and outside the city of Vladdy, they are divided into three strands:
The first group is the blind followers, the so-called blind followers, who were fooled by Vitruvius's god-like image, coupled with the news of the increasingly affirmed underground world legion, which caused a great panic among the ordinary people, they did not have the ability to enter the swamp to fight guerrillas, and they all followed Vitruvius to leave, and the number of this first group was at least more than 200,000 people.
The second group numbered about 100,000 people, and although they were convinced from the Red Dragons that there would be a legion in the underworld, they did not believe that Vitruvius alone could shelter them, and that they would only be truly safe after hiding in the thousand-foot-high cliff of death in the Kidner Fortress.
The third group has the smallest number of people, about a few thousand, they are either old people or sick people who are unable to walk, or they are confident that they can save their lives in the invasion of the dungeon legion, of course, it is not excluded that some people are not afraid of death, in short, there are various reasons, anyway, they don't want to and can't leave.
……
Vitruvius walked out of the eastern gate of Vladdy with great majesty, followed by a large crowd of ordinary people, who fled with ox carts, sheep, children and a large number of things on their backs.
This escape is 30 miles......
More than 30 miles is at least seven or eight hours for ordinary people, and by the time Vitruvius led hundreds of thousands of people to the cave at the foot of the Eastern Ghats, the horizon was already full of sunset.
Vitruvius did not lead them into the cave, but sat by the cave and waited quietly.
He is like a ruler, a monument, the professionals of the Red Dragon Army, consciously standing behind him, as well as the Blood Flame Army, the Tide Army, and the Slayer Army......
But all the large mercenary groups that can be counted follow Vitruvius.
It is the fighting instinct of almost every professional to follow powerful heroes in battle, and as long as the team battle heroes do not fall, they will not flee.
Besides, even if Vitruvius falls, it is not too late for them to disperse in a hurry, although the battle will definitely be lost at that time, but their lives may not necessarily be left behind, as the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, how can there be no defeat when they come out to fight, high-level human professionals, which one does not crawl out of the pile of dead?
……
The Underground Cavemen are the cheapest, most abundant, and often the most useful class of troops in the dungeon, where they can find food in the desert-like Underworld.
Large groups of cavemen lined up in columns carrying stones, and with their tentacles and spears, they could easily chisel through the stacks of stones, and the collapsed caverns were cleared at a speed visible to the naked eye......
With the shouts of more than a dozen hell cave people, a black dragon was pulled out of the stone......
A dark female elf wearing the power of the dragon king reached out to the black dragon's snort with a solemn face.
"Teresa is not dead yet, but her condition is very dangerous, I must treat it myself, Julius, Sekiro, I order you to immediately clear the ground of the creatures, and let them know the power of the abyss." The Black Dragon Empress Morriel issued the order.
"Yes, my Empress."
In the darkness, a tall humanoid figure appeared, and a medusa, which was equally large, appeared in silhouette.
Standing like a human is Julius, his body like a gray rock, his muscles knotted, and his power boundless.
Unlike humans, Julius wears a strange octopus head, and on his octopus head there are three small cold triangular eyes, which emit a sinister glow from time to time.
"Go ahead, and look forward to your good news." The Black Dragon Empress Morriel turned around with the Legion of Guards.
No one knows which race of the underworld Julius is, he is very unique, and although there is no shortage of unique creatures in the underworld, it is almost impossible to find a second creature of the same form as Julius.
It is difficult to imagine the origin of this creature, after all, it is impossible to reproduce without a race, and Julius cannot be a race alone.
The biggest possibility is that Julius was mutated from some creature, and this seems to be Julius's biggest secret, and no one can know it.
……
Although the Black Dragon Empress Morriel has conquered 15 giant caverns and defeated 15 powerful dungeon lords, not every underground lord will be slaughtered.
Julius and Cekiro are two of the greatest contributors to their submission.
In particular, Julius, who was the first dungeon lord to encounter in the Black Dragon Empress's War of Conquest, was on par with the Black Dragon Empress Moriel, but in the end he chose to surrender.
The Black Dragon Empress Morriel used the Key of the Abyss to close the Abyss Path behind Julius, allowing her to form a one-on-one situation with Julius.
In the end, the outcome of the battle was unexpected, and the dungeon lord Julius chose to form an alliance.
The Black Dragon Empress Morriel withdrew from Julius' territory and once again used the Key of the Abyss, opening up another battlefield against another Dungeon Lord.
At this time, Julius, who had formed an alliance with the Black Dragon Empress beforehand, attacked the dungeon lord from behind, and the two easily and happily solved a powerful dungeon lord in their first cooperation.
Julius honored Morriel as the Empress of the Abyss and expressed his willingness to obey her orders and carry out the tasks she had decreed.
The Black Dragon Empress Morriel also did not confiscate Julius's artifacts and legions and territories, allowing him to keep everything he had, and continue to cooperate with Julius to defeat the dungeon lords adjacent to the two people's territories.
But......
In order to prevent Julius from secretly becoming bigger, the Black Dragon Empress Morriel finally rebelled against herself, and she concocted the second dungeon lord, Sekiro, who was born in the Medusa race.
Julius and Sekiro, two powerful dungeon lords, check and balance each other, and both use them for their own purposes.
And the Black Dragon Empress Morriel is firmly in the position of king.
