Chapter 1697: The Enemy of the Enemy

Rebek left the Overseer's Mansion and walked to a block south of the city, where several men were already waiting for him in the city's barracks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The three of them are all Rubic's henchmen, one is a Sword Demon, one is a Cato, and the other is a Garna. All three of them were generals of the Duchy of Shadows, and when they saw Ribic coming, the three generals surrounded them.

The Sword Demon General, who was covered in a dark golden luster, spoke, "Lord Rebik, how is it, do you want us to fight?" ”

Rebek shook his head and repeated Astor's words, and the three generals all snorted softly. The most reckless and unscrupulous General Cato shouted: "If you want us to be their funeral objects, then you might as well fight with them!" ”

General Garna, who has always been sinister, hissed from his mouth and said, "The brain is a good thing, but it's a pity you don't." Otherwise, you'll think that two Overseers died at their hands, and what is the difference between us fighting them and hitting a stone with an egg? ”

The Sword Demon General, who was considered to be stable, said, "Lord Rebik, how can we sit still and wait to die. They're just using us as cannon fodder, stay with them, and we'll just end up dying in this city. Instead of that, try to cooperate with humans and deal with these guys together. ”

General Nagana laughed: "You probably forgot what we did to the human race, and the human race will cooperate with us? Unless, too, their heads are flooded like the Cato. ”

General Cato roared: "You Canadians will do nothing but put cold guns in their backs and poison their mouths. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say? ”

General Garner hissed a few times and said, "What are you anxious about, I believe that Lord Rebek has already thought of a countermeasure. ”

Rickic muttered, "I did think that there is no better way than to cooperate with humans. Astor also said that there is one in the human army that is their natural enemy. If he comes here, Astor they will only have to wait for the fate of being destroyed. ”

"There is a saying in mankind that the enemy of the enemy is the friend. Although we have been hostile to humans in the past, it is not impossible for us to cooperate if we provide Astor with information and necessary assistance. But the key is whether the person Astor is afraid of is among humans. ”

Rebik beckoned to the Sword Demon General: "You go to the exit of the tunnel in the Misty Mountains and stand guard, if the humans can come out of the big tunnel, then it will be on my behalf to talk to them about cooperation." ”

"What if they don't want to accept it?" The Sword Demon General asked.

Ribic said in a deep voice, "I hope they can be sensible, if they refuse, then we can only consider giving up the City of Shadows." When the time came for their two armies to fight, we took the opportunity to move. ”

There was really no way out of it, and the Sword Demon General nodded and said, "I'll go to the Misty Mountains." ”

At this moment, in the Great Tunnel of the Misty Mountains, the Imperial army is resting. Alan and Lucy occupied a corner, Alan condensed a few golden flames in his palm, and outlined the outline of the war horse with the flames, and these small war horses galloped and stood up in Allen's palm.

Lucy smiled at this, and at the same time sighed that Allen's control over the source power had reached an extremely subtle level, otherwise she would not be able to use the flames to interpret a few war horses so delicately.

Alan suddenly felt something, put away his palm, and the war horse turned into flames and disappeared into his palm. When he stood up, Belmode quietly came to his side and said, "Young master, as you expected, the underground hall when you came has been destroyed, and now there are piles of rocks there, blocking the tunnel. ”

The old marshal, who had been waiting for the results of Belmode's investigation, stood up when he heard this: "Then we have no other choice but to move on." ”

Alan nodded: "Then let's go." ”

Rodek said loudly, "Everyone get up and move on."

The rest of the march went well, as if frightened by Allen's golden flames, and there were no more hellworms in the way. Calculating the time, it has been marching in the belly of the mountain for almost a day. It was only in the evening that the procession stopped again. This time the stop was not due to the hellworm blocking the way, but the tunnel was interrupted.

Alan stood at the cut point, where a huge fault appeared, more than ten meters wide, and ordinary soldiers couldn't jump over it at all. Alan looked up and saw that the fault was as if something had been dug out of the mountain, not only cutting the tunnel, but also creating an abyss-like crack. Alan took a torch and threw it down the abyss, and the torch quickly faded away, and finally disappeared into the darkness, and for a long time he could not hear the sound of falling to the ground, and he did not know how deep the abyss was.

"This is a problem." Rodeck looked at the fault and sighed: "Even if we pull out a rope bridge, the horses and ordnance will not be able to cross, what can we do?" ”

"It's not impossible." Alan looked up and said, "I'll take care of it." ”

At this moment, a stone next to Rodeck rolled down, and the stone rolled into the darkness with a sudden crackling sound. Hearing this, Rodek was stunned. I couldn't hear the sound of the torch falling just now, why did this stone bottom out so quickly.

Then the ground began to shake.

The tremors came from the abyss underground, and Alan threw another torch at the moment. Soon by the light of the fire, he saw a huge black shadow climbing up from under the ground, and he immediately shouted: "Stand back, all stand back, something is coming up!" ”

Rodek hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, and the infantry lined up several layers of shields, interspersed with pikemen and musketeers, in a makeshift offensive formation. Alan stood outside the formation, holding the hilt of his greatsword and staring at the fault in front of him.

The tremors grew louder and louder, and suddenly a huge black shadow burst out of the fault. In the firelight, it was a huge insect, with a body the size of a mountain peak, each pair of feet as thick as elephant legs. The knob-shaped carapace was dark purple and covered with fist-sized crystals, making it look like a pimple.

The flattened head resembled a mountain pack, apparently the same species as the Hellworm, but full of compound eyes. The eyes were haphazardly distributed throughout the head, each looking in a different direction, and the firstborn hundred-eyed monster had two thick and long tentacles, each with a dark purple spar at the tip of the tentacles, and yellow lines shimmering in between. The giant worm opened its mouth and spat out two huge crescent-sized palate teeth, which were rows of nest teeth, and it let out a sharp whine in the direction of Allen, and at the same time spewed out a fishy wind from its mouth, blowing people almost to stop breathing.

Rodek shouted, "This is the queen of worms, the queen of hell!" Be careful, if the worm comes back, its guards will definitely come! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of flapping wings sounded below the fault. A moment later, dark red beetles flew up behind the queen, and the queen's guards still had wings. For a moment, the army was blocked by the queen worm and her guards.
