Chapter 538: When You Stare into the Abyss, the Abyss Is Staring at You (Medium)
Along the way, the army attacked many towns and villages, and although the Aturan Empire had expected this battle before the war began, so they evacuated the inhabitants in advance, but how could the people who had lived in this land for generations say that they would leave, and many people still hid with illusions.
But it didn't work, but it was still found by the army.
The two countries are real mortal enemies, as rumored to be, and even though this belief is deeply ingrained among the population, many besieged civilians even risk their lives to fight to the death with soldiers, only to fall.
Among them, the paladin Akara has killed many people.
The son of the Holy Light, Wang Chu smiled every time he thought of this name, it was really ironic.
He is not soft at all when he kills people, and he is also proud to kill his 'enemies'.
The troops were temporarily stationed on the road to Lalaye, and the contingent of nearly 100,000 people needed to choose a better position, and the entire barracks also needed to be arranged in a hierarchical manner...... Of course, Wang Chu doesn't need to worry about this, he just needs to follow Lias.
Imperial commanders are usually treated with one of the best.
Almost as early as the afternoon, the Duke of Erion had the army set up camp and put it in order, unlike yesterday's rush to a quick victory.
At this time, Lias and the rest of the people walked to a relatively high place to observe, and Wang Chu realized that the structure of the camp was completely in the form of combat readiness, and it should have taken into account various convenient deployments, which was not at all like the posture of setting up camp today and leaving tomorrow.
It seems that the Duke of Erion is also waiting, either waiting for new information or waiting for the other four major forces to arrive at the same time.
"The place is not far from the city of Lalaye. Erion said, looking at the plains in the distance.
There are still some abandoned villages on the road, which have been sent to see before, and there is no one left.
Since they were so close to the city of Lalaye, they should have all withdrawn to the city.
"Does the marshal want to use this place as a backup?" Lias also seemed to see the difference in the layout of the camp, which was obviously not an ordinary method of camping.
Duke Erion turned to face the few people present.
"Yes, this is less than a hundred miles from the city of Lalaye, and the Aturan Empire is unlikely to give up that city, and I guess one of the hardest levels we encounter will be in that place, in case a mage army sneaks up on it. ”
There are only a hundred miles to go, so it seems to be safe, Wang Chu thought to himself.
Although this world seems to be a cold weapon war, the presence of flying troops and high-level magicians will bring the battle situation to a more terrifying level...... Therefore, it is best to use it as a base camp a little farther away, and then send different teams to deploy layer by layer.
Because there will be reinforcements coming later, it will be easier to attack the city from all directions at the same time.
"Did Captain Missoulia pass by here when he came?" the Duke of Erion asked abruptly to the sturdy girl standing at the edge of the crowd.
"We don't dare to take the big road, it's too conspicuous, we all come out of the mountain road. "Looking into the distance, there are indeed gentle mountains and forests on the edge of the plains.
There are small roads in those places, and as long as you set up a sentry post at the entrance, you can block people coming in and out.
If you want not to be discovered, unless fewer troops go directly into the deep mountains and forests, that kind of place Wang Chu has also been to many similar places, and it is only like this during war, usually even mountain people don't want to go.
"Well, I've sent scouts to check on the camp a few dozen miles away, I don't believe that the Aturan Empire will be willing to give up the city of Lalaye, if there is no supply from the south, no matter how strong they are, they will quickly be defeated in a panic...... Mar, did you find anything today?" said Duke Erigon, who suddenly turned to the warlock on the other side.
"Not yet, there are no magicians hiding here...... However, the inhabitants have made me very concerned, and I have found such a magical mark in the basements of many of the residents in the villages we have occupied in the past two days. As he spoke, he took out a white cloth.
The crowd looked over.
Two triangles were drawn on the fabric in black and black colors, one with one corner pointing down and the other facing up.
Together, it looks like a six-pointed star, but it is expressed in different shades, so it looks like two triangles.
"What is this?"
"I've never seen anything like it. ”
"It looks like something out of a religious pattern. Maar said.
"Is it a six-pointed star, in the form of a magic array? "As a multi-faceted artist, Erigor knows a lot about magic.
Modra also stood up at this time and took a closer look, although it was very similar, but the painting was very random, and it was made with ordinary cloth and pen There was a trace of magic somewhere.
"No, he's just two triangles, just patterns, and there's no magician among the populace. Mar shook her head.
"Does that need to be studied?"
"I'm afraid I don't have that much time...... However, I would like to stay close to the captured civilians tonight, and if it is a religious pattern, then it is customary to pray for a while. The blood-red eyes couldn't see Mar's expression at this time, but listening to the voice even had a feeling of excitement, which could be regarded as a method of investigation.
"Well, then you have to be careful. ”
..............................
It was night, Lias didn't stay outside, she took Wang Chu and Anwenna to the camp early, the empire rarely has maps of other countries, but Aturan really does, Lias is carefully studying the nearby terrain.
"Cam, what kind of enemies do you think we will encounter this time? I began to think that the country of Aturan is so mysterious, no wonder my father and grandfather have failed in this land. ”
For a moment, the corners of Lias's eyes showed an expression that Wang Chu couldn't understand.
"What's wrong? Cam, what are you watching me do. It only lasted for a few seconds, and finally she smiled at Wang Chu.
As for the mystery, Lias thought the same as she did.
It turns out that a country that is good at producing necromancers is like this, and they can come and go without a trace when they fight, and they have penetrated into the largest city in the south of the other party, and this status is probably the same as Hajar City in the west of the Asta Empire.
Even if they fought here, they did not encounter the main force of frontal resistance, and there were even very few residents.
What a strange country.
"Anwenna, how do you feel about being here? "Wang Chu still trusts the instincts of the elves most of the time, and their awareness is much stronger.
"Hmm...... It's uncomfortable. ”
This vague answer may not seem like something that Avenna can say.
Lias also stopped what she was doing, and could probably guess what Wang Chu was asking.
"It's like a fog in the forest, it's stuffy, and you can't see clearly. ”
Wang Chu looked at An Wenna in surprise, and her expression changed very seriously.
"How...... What's wrong? Great Teacher, am I wrong? ”
"Where did you learn these words, I haven't taught you that!" 2k reading network
