As if it understood, the beast straightened up and let out a roar that shook the forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info [Cat Flutter Novel Fastest and Most Complete Free Novel Update] The roar did not stop for a long time, and the aftermath spread, but the giant beast had already raised its feet and went in the direction pointed out by the boy. Its way of advancing is very domineering, using a straight line of advancement, whether it encounters trees or rocks on the way, it is hard to squeeze down and roll, and step on a smooth road in the high ground.

Soon, other dangerous species joined the ranks of the Behemoths and Teenagers.

The first to be added were snakes, all kinds of venomous snakes, large and small, and large pythons. One of the pythons was the size of a chimney, with colorful scales and a row of purple spines on its back. Among them, the lines flicker, showing that non-ordinary snakes can be compared, where it appears, the snakes automatically detour, and it is at a certain distance.

Then a herd of highland boars emerged from the forest, and they followed the snakes, these wild boars were not small, their coats were dark and shiny, and their two fangs were shining with snow. The first wild boar. The coat is dark red, but the two fangs on the side of the mouth are as black as jade. From time to time, it roared at the multicolored python, as if it was provoking it.

The python rolled its eyes and turned its head and spat out its tongue. At this time, the young man sitting on the head of the giant beast turned around and snorted, and the multicolored python and the dark red wild red immediately lowered their heads and quietly followed the team.

Then the Sharptooth Bear, the Electric Light Leopard, the Flame Breath Monitor Lizard, the Longhorn Storm Ape and other beasts joined the team one after another. The team grew stronger and stronger, with giant beasts and young men as beasts, pulling into a long dragon, like an army, and drove mightily through the wild highlands.

On this day, nearly two-thirds of the beasts left the wild highlands. When the army was gone, the heights became truly quiet. The water of the Great Lake was gently gushing, and a grayback bird flew back again. It skimmed over the surface of the lake, and suddenly squeaked as if it had seen something terrible, and at the same time rose into the air. Just on the surface of the lake where the birds were flying, something floated over.

At first glance, it looks like a giant python with snow-white scales all over its body. But if you look closely, it turns out that it is a layer of snake skin, and as for the giant snake that has lost its skin, it is missing.

A white electric light flashed through the dense clouds, and a moment later, an ominous sound sounded from the clouds. Dark gray clouds swirled as they came from the west, swept over the Lagmar Mountains, and began to march towards the Shadow Heights. The clouds blocked the sunlight, and the mountains under the thick clouds were gloomy and misty. The shadows in the mountains seemed to be churning, and they stretched desperately ahead, and spread up to the Shadow Heights.

In the shadows, some fluorescent light lit up. Then an army of Blade Demons drove out of the mountains, these Majin soldiers with eyes glowing with ice chips, wearing only the most simple armor. Compared to the armor of human soldiers, alien soldiers can no longer be described as simple. The demons did not carry weapons, they themselves were deadly weapons, and the military appearance of these demon soldiers was not orderly, but they only barely maintained their formation. But their eyes that shimmered with cold light all looked to the other side of the high ground, and it was not difficult to see from those eyes that they were longing for killing and blood.

Some tall fellows followed behind the Blade Demons, rows of Cato. Like their counterparts on Brute Stone, these large rhinoceros, who walk upright, like to wear rough and heavy plate armor. Most of the Cato carried a variety of huge weapons, ranging from chain hammers to large axes, and more often carried halberds several meters high, some with black battle flags tied to the barrels.

Behind the Cato were alien war beasts, which were huge, like a combination of a hippopotamus and a rhinoceros. It's just that they are usually more than ten times the size of rhinos, so war beasts are able to drag large ones

Siege equipment, such as catapults or artillery. They also have simple thrones on their bodies, and the Blade Demons will control these war beasts. There are usually several people, one of them controls the beast, and the rest constantly beat the large leather drums tied to the sides of the war beast.

The sound of war drums beaten by the demons resounded throughout the heights.

The worm-like Garnas roam freely in the mountains, and the terrain of the Lagmar Mountains could not restrict their movements, and they flanked the armies of the Blade Demons and Cato like two black tides. This wave of more than 10,000 people was rapidly surging through the Lagmar Mountains, and the frontline soldiers began to step into the Shadow Heights, echoing the dense clouds in the sky that were constantly advancing and spreading, causing a huge sense of oppression to the mountain towns on the other side of the highlands.

As Alan rode his horse past the other side of the heights, he saw thick clouds in the west. The sky was terribly gloomy, and from time to time gray electric light streaked through the clouds, like a sharp blade tearing through the canopy. Although he couldn't see the alien army on the other side of the heights, he could feel the urgency of the battle clouds.

Belmode rode up to him and shouted, "It's the Principality of Shadows!" ”

"That's right, the shadow of Vera's prophecy has finally appeared." Alan pointed to the thick clouds and said, "Alien soldiers don't like sunlight or other rays. I'm sure that the thick cloud is not a natural product, it should be the enemy's strong man using a certain ability and the murderous aura emitted by the army to cause this special celestial phenomenon. You see, it shades out the sun so that the army can march during the day. However, I think the real attack will be at night, when the alien soldiers can use their maximum power. ”

"Time is of the essence, we need to hurry." Alan clamped the horse's belly, and Belmode was at his side, and behind him was the galloping Hubble, as well as several strong men such as Regers and Lola.

By the time Eren arrived in the mountain city, even the eastern sky had become gloomy, and then scattered drops of rain began to fall from the sky. The rain fell on Alan's body, and he could feel a bit of burning breath in the water droplets.

The gates opened, and Allen's team galloped into the small square behind them. He rolled over and dismounted, and Remington met him. The Lord of the Mountain City bowed to Allen and raised his head and said excitedly, "Lord Allen, it's great that you can arrive at this critical moment. ”

Alan nodded, and asked him some questions about the mountain castle. When he heard that Remington was still raising the city wall, Alan shook his head, looked at the scaffolding on the city wall and said, "Tear down all these things, there is no time, hurry up and pull up the trebuchet and defensive artillery." If there are no surprises, the enemy should attack at night, or even earlier. How many troops are there in the mountain city now? ”

"Less than three thousand, my lord." Remington looked behind Allen and said tentatively, "I thought you would bring reinforcements. ”

"Yes, we just came first. But don't get your hopes up, I'll only be able to bring in a thousand soldiers in a hurry. "Alan has walked towards the wall.

Remington followed him closely and said, "Only a thousand?" With all due respect, my lord, I'm afraid that's not enough. My sentry told me that the enemy army numbered at least tens of thousands, if not more. ”

"I know, but you have to know. Without the support of the Imperial Team, we simply don't have that much manpower to mobilize. The mountain city can't be given up easily, but it definitely can't be defended. Alan patted Remington on the shoulder and said, "Go and inform your subjects, the old and the sick, and the women and children, that they will leave first." Go to Unicorn Ridge through the Lyon Mountain Pass, and the lords there will arrange for them to go to my territory. As for the men, all of them stayed, to see if they could buy some time. ”

"Buying time, so we have reinforcements?"

"Perhaps, this

What a trade-off the empire had. If they don't send an army, the mountain city may not be able to hold it. When the time comes, I can only give up. But at the very least, we'll have to try it first. ”

Remington said bitterly: "I have also heard about the affairs over there in the Northern Capital, and I heard that His Royal Highness Julian has also arrived at the Ark Harbor. In this case, the new king probably won't send troops, right? ”

"It's not up to him to have the final say in the emperor ** team now, at least not all. In short, the situation is very complicated, we have to have hope, but we can't fight blindly. Alan nudged him, "Go evacuate the residents." ”

The news that some of the residents of the mountain city had retreated first quickly spread, and according to Allen's request, women, children, and the elderly and sick left first. They did not have time to take all their belongings with them, and left the mountain city in droves with only the valuables they could carry with them and a few days' dry rations. Remington sent a force of about 100 men to protect them, but also to maintain order and ensure that people could reach Unicorn Ridge without any problems.

Allen's army arrived around noon, consisting of a hundred warriors of the Mountain King, as well as other troops. Musketeers were the majority, and the army was accompanied by a large number of guns and ammunition, including a number of Thunderfire heavy machine guns and several Vulcan cannons. In charge of commanding this army is Bloy, and the Highlanders, who now have a strength of twenty-three levels, are fully capable of wielding the power of the Forbidden Hammer, which makes Bloy have the power to fight even in the face of the level of the Federation Major General.

Everything was being prepared nervously, and Yamashiro was constantly sending soldiers to reconnoiter the enemy. After losing a few soldiers, Allen's side got more complete information on the side of the Shadow Heights. At present, the foreign army has stopped advancing, and they are building temporary camps, apparently preparing to rest on the high ground. In this way, the time for the real attack should be as Alan expected, when the sun has set and the night has risen.

Now that all the scaffolding on the walls of the mountain castle had been removed, and the defensive equipment had been pushed up and placed in the afternoon, Alan told the soldiers to rest as much as possible so that they could cope with the foreign attack at night. To people's surprise, in the evening, another army arrived in the mountain town. It was a force of more than 2,000 men, and the troops were only in a regular configuration, but the important thing was that this army was carrying the battle flag of the Emerald Bucks.

The commander of this army was named Keller, and he had a striking, reddish beard. Alan greeted him personally, and when he saw Ellen, Keller held his helmet and bowed, "On the orders of Marshal Rodeck, we are here to support the mountain city." However, Lord Allen, the situation is not optimistic, and the marshal also said that the main battlefield on this side of the southern border is not a mountain city. So he asked me to tell you that if the situation is not right, you have to choose to evacuate. ”

"Was it Marshal Rodek's order?" Alan was surprised, "This really surprised me. ”

Keller laughed heartily: "The army exists to protect the country, although now because of the relationship between the two princes, the political situation in the empire has become chaotic. But for us soldiers, the mission of defending the territory is above all else. The marshal also said that no matter who sits on the throne in the future, it is fine, but the empire must be defended first, otherwise everything is empty talk! ”

Alan nodded, thinking to himself that Rodek remembered the pride and honor of being a soldier. However, it is difficult to say that there is no factor in this. Thinking of Julian still in Ark Harbor, Rodek's move seems to have a bit of goodwill to Julian.
