Chapter 325: The Fish ...... Fish-man invasion?
"Henry disappeared in the wilderness. The City Lord of Theron looked at the two of them and said.
Wang Chu stood on Lias's shoulder, which could be regarded as the front position, and he could clearly see the situation on the sand table.
There is nothing to see in the mountains, the point is where he is pointing, and the situation of the missing army.
"I don't understand why Henry went to that place, the Southern Wilderness almost runs through the Sunset Mountains. Lias also noticed this problem, and her hand traced the position of the barracks to the most frontier point, crossing a whole mountain, a route that was too long.
"General Lias may not have known about our defense of Sunrise City when he first arrived. Theron said as he turned his gaze to the map behind him, which was more suitable for explaining the overall armament.
The map drawn on the gray animal skin is not very clear, but the border is specially marked with the deployment of the army.
"Look here...... The outermost defense of Sunchase City is set up at the edge of the Sunset Mountains, which is the highest peak, and you can see the situation in the wilderness with the use of reconnaissance magic, and the bordering parts are usually nothing, unlike the deeper ones, and it is here that we found a large number of Earth Demons a few months ago. Theron pointed to a spot in the wilderness.
This map doesn't have many markings on the wilderness, just a traced place, but a few words for the southern wilderness.
Overlooking the wilderness from above, this is a terrain advantage, and the sentry tower can be set up using reconnaissance magic...... The so-called detection magic is a kind of visual eye released by the magician.,Magic that can reflect the surrounding situation like a magic prop on the screen.,It's low-level magic but it's very practical.,Some people who have a high degree of run-in with the beast can also see the situation through the beast's vision.。
In short, as long as you want to see it, there will be a way.
"Originally, a large number of earth demons gathered, and we were wary of danger, so we conveyed the news to the military headquarters of the imperial capital, Marshal Mansoor, in advance, and also asked him to send troops over, and General Henry came. ”
Theron had told the story of what had happened over the past few months.
As early as when he was in the imperial capital, there was such a time when Mansor did tell a few people about the south, including Ain, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time, and he didn't expect that he would really come here.
"But then after General Henry came, the Earth Demon People disbanded for some reason, the Earth Demon People believe in the blood god in their mouths, and almost every year at this time there will be a big sacrifice, but this time the scale is much larger, so we are careful. ”
Hearing what the other party said, Wang Chu suddenly remembered.
When I first met Vanessa in the basement of the Imperial Capital Canal Business District, wasn't there a land demon at that time, and what were they all planning, this sudden retreat was probably caused by their own defeat of the giant-eyed monster.
I always feel that everything that happens vaguely is still connected to myself.
"We were relieved when the demons retreated, but then the flood came...... It was really a wave of unsettled, and the people on the border defense line would observe the situation in the wilderness every day, and now it was no exception, in order to prevent the attack of the earth demons, General Henry volunteered to go to the border guard tower to defend. Theron said, suddenly glancing at Ain's face.
"He's a brave kid. ”
"Yes, it's always been ......"
"The gods will bless him, and a brave man will be favored by the gods. Like some kind of prayer ceremony, he put his hands on his chest and raised his head at a 45-degree angle, which Wang Chu had seen before when he was in the cathedral, and some priests also made this gesture when worshipping God.
"There are animals fighting in the wilderness every day, and sometimes the soldiers will go to the outer places to hunt and practice, don't look at the rain here for so long, but after walking through the Sunset Mountains, it was a sunny day, and that day according to the soldiers who could not go there said that something seemed to be found in the wilderness, and then the next day Henry took the soldiers to take the opportunity to hunt, but then did not come back. ”
Watching the crowd bow their heads as if in silence or prayer.
After all, Ain is the highest-ranking and highest-ranking general here, even if he is pretending.
Wang Chu looked at the place on the map, so that the little paladin brother rushed into the enemy area by himself and then couldn't get out.
"Didn't anyone come back?" asked Lias.
"Sometimes if there is a harvest, the team may stop in the wilderness for a day or two, but not for long, because it is the periphery and most of the generals have done the same thing, so we don't care, but on the third day they still did not come back, and the scouts sent out did not find General Henry's whereabouts, and finally we went deep and found the camp of General Henry's team, but we found not a single person, and there was no trace of a battle. ”
It was another soldier who spoke, who also looked to be in his early forties, and was supposed to be a high-ranking general in Sunrise City, but with Lias and Ain both present, he had to collect the map at this time.
"That's probably the way it is, General Henry's affairs, and the rising floods, are almost going to swallow up the South. Lord Theron grimaced.
The heavy rain has indeed been falling, and sometimes Wang Chu will want to continue to rain like this, and it is estimated that the mountain range will be half flooded in half a month.
Or the Jing Territory next door is either further away, and if the water level can't go down, it will only rise more and more.
"It will rain all the time in the rainy season in the south every year, but it will be intermittent, never like now, for months in a row, or even small, related to the last gathering of the earth demons and the sudden disappearance of General Henry this time, we all think that the earth demons are making trouble behind their backs. Several magicians said.
There really is no other reason for this, and this is the most likely scenario.
"So, what's next for us. "Lias just came here, so she had to listen to the plan of the command and tell herself what had happened, and then the main point would be.
"We were going to send someone out into the wilderness to take a look, and Commander Ain thought so. But lately, it's strange that there are always attacks in floods, and the fish in the water is the food we can get the most, but recently there have been a large number of fish-people who have suddenly appeared, and it is very incomprehensible, including the people we sent out to investigate. Theron frowned in confusion.
Lias and Lucia looked at each other even more.
Fish-man, didn't you just come here?
Wait, what are you talking about...... Our team was also attacked by the Fishmen!!
