There were many small red glowflies swimming in the darkness, and when there was a long, muffled sound in the darkness, a fire shone in. The firelight of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info cut through the darkness like a sharp blade, and the wandering red fireflies immediately scattered as if they were fleeing for their lives. The fire grew brighter and brighter, and the area cast into the darkness grew. In the firelight, the two stone doors were struggling to open, and a group of strong soldiers on each side pushed the stone doors open. The door was moving along the track that had been abandoned for many years, and the stone beads that had not been oiled for a long time rubbed violently against the track, and stone powder was constantly sprayed out and sprinkled on the side of the door. When the door opened wide enough to accommodate two wagons passing side by side, both groups of soldiers had lost their strength and sat down on the ground one by one, panting for breath.

Alan and Rodeck walked in, and a soldier raised a torch, and from the light of the fire, he saw a hall behind the door. Big, high, Allen kicked out a rock from the ground. The stone cut into the darkness, and the sound of breaking through the air kept going away, and finally disappeared. Alan was slightly surprised, judging by the voice, the area of this underground hall was almost comparable to the imperial palace on Dawn Mountain.

Rodek gestured, and soldiers passed by to the left and right, and they spread out with torches, spreading the light of the fire. It turned out that there were braziers next to the mountain walls on the left and right of the stone gate, and the soldiers put down the wood prepared in the morning in the brazier, poured fire oil, and then used a torch to light up the brazier. One after another, the braziers lit up one after another, and the firelight illuminated most of the underground halls. The floor hall is spacious, and the huge space always gives a sense of awe, and this place is no exception. The hall is lined with three rows of stone pillars, separated by ten meters in length and width, which support the dome and keep it from collapsing even as the years pass. And in each of the four corners of the hall, there is a huge sculpture. Sculptures, or figures, or behemoths, without exception, hold up the dome with their hands or backs, as if these things have guarded the hall for hundreds of years. However, it can be seen that these sculptures are only in rudimentary form, and it seems that the craftsmen were forced to withdraw from the hall before they had time to complete it.

Or were they left behind by the Hellworm?

This can be seen from the bones scattered here and there in the halls, and human bones can be seen everywhere on the ground. In some places, there are only two or three bones scattered, and in others, there are mountains of bones piled up under the pillars, and skulls are everywhere, and I don't know how many people have to die for so many corpses to appear. By the time Alan surveyed the hall, soldiers had already begun to clean the hall. When it is said to be a sweep, it is just to sweep the bones scattered in the middle to both sides, so that the troops and vehicles can pass through.

Soon a passage was cleared, and as soon as Rodeck gave the order, the team drove to the other side of the hall. At the end of the hall there is an arch, which originally had a door. It's just that now the two stone gates are scattered on the ground, and there are still many corpses under one stone gate. From the direction of the stone gate's fall and the distribution of corpses nearby, Alan could roughly imagine it. At that time, the two stone doors were supposed to be closed, but they were pushed down from the outside by the hellworms, and the current situation was formed. Rodk once said that the hellworm is like a large centipede. They are good at burrowing into the ground, live deep underground, breathe poisonous fire, and have a very hard shell that is difficult for ordinary swords to break through. They usually act in groups, with one of the Hellbugs having a queen. The power of the insect queen is very terrifying, in addition to having the characteristics of ordinary hell bugs, this insect queen can also produce a scream that affects human hearing, and can freely control the source force, so it has some exclusive special abilities.

The regular hellworm is a long black worm, but there are also some hellworms that look like beetles and have a dark red shell. They don't breathe fire, but they are hard and have two scythe-like forelimbs, and these bugs are the queen's personal guards. If the queen appears, you will see such a guard bug.

Rodek said that it is impossible for the army to pass through the tunnel silently, and it will definitely be detected by the hellworms. He only hoped that the sound would attract ordinary bugs, not the queen bugs and the guards. In order to protect the whole army, Alan also made some arrangements. He and Lucy are at the front of the line, and Selene will be at the rear. In the middle, Rodek is in charge, and Belmode is in charge of mobile reinforcements. Scattered by these strong men, it should be enough to protect the entire army from the attacks of the Hell Worms.

It's just that the preparation is sufficient, and we'll see if it works when we get it.

At this moment, Alan and Lucy rode together, walking in front of the army. Behind them were the Imperial cavalry, and it was difficult for the cavalry to wield their role in this environment, and there was not enough space for them to complete the tactical action of the charge, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry would be greatly reduced. At this time, it was the pikemen and musketeers who took advantage, followed by the infantry, followed by the cavalry. Of course, cavalry can also dismount and fight, but there is no point in that.

After passing through the arch at the heart of the hall, there is a tunnel ahead. The tunnel was wide, more than four meters high, and the darkness ahead was in the firelight, like a passage to hell. Human bones can also be seen in the tunnels, and strangely, not a single hellworm corpse can be seen. Rodeck didn't mention this, and he didn't know if the corpse of the Hellworm was transported back to the depths of the earth by its kind, or if it was eaten by its kind.

Another thing worth noting is that there are large and small holes on both sides of the tunnel and in the dome. I can't see the bottom of the fire when I get in, and I don't know where these holes lead, and how long and deep they are. Of course, there won't be any of these natural things in the tunnel, so most likely, it should have been from the Hell Bug. Lucy shuddered at the thought of insects coming in and out of these holes.

Alan patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

She hummed.

It seems that because of the oppressive atmosphere in the tunnel on the side of the mountain, no one speaks, only the neighing of horses and footsteps. It was time to calculate that it should be noon, and the whole army rested in the tunnel. Alan and Lucy sat in a corner, and soldiers brought them food and drink. The army rested as much as possible in the middle of the tunnel, according to Rodek's orders, but there were also soldiers who were greedy for coolness, sitting near the walls, and the wind blowing from those holes from time to time was cool and swishing. Some of the soldiers even fell asleep with the wind blowing, and at that moment, an exclamation rang out from behind Allen. Alan suddenly stood up and followed the sound, just in time to see a soldier burrowing into the hole. Already in the hole above the waist, he kicked his feet wildly, and suddenly slid in. By the time Alan arrived, there was no human figure inside, only some blood stains remained.

Hearing this, Rodek looked at the scene with a solemn face, and said, "I can't rest anymore, let's go quickly, I'm afraid that those insects have already noticed us." "83 Chinese.83.
