Chapter 483: Come Hard
Xia He followed the army and advanced more than a thousand miles to the foot of a mountain.
The mountain is a thousand meters high, majestic and straight, and the top third is all rocks, and there is no snow on it. The bottom two-thirds of the ice and snow are piled up, and when you look at it from a distance, you have an indescribable hard feeling.
When the Goths walked here, they saw a camp at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and the banner of the county king fluttered in the wind.
He didn't dare to take it lightly, so he still sent someone to contact him, and made sure that it was his companion before he was willing to move forward.
If you approach casually, the other party will disguise himself as the king of the county, and he will be sent to death.
Xia He looked at the size of the camp from a distance, it looked like there were almost 10,000 people, plus 3,000 here, it would be more than 12,000 people. An army of this size, as a rule, has legendary power.
Of course, Legendary Power is not the Legend himself, maybe Legendary Equipment, or a large weapon.
For example, things like the Golden Golem and the Diamond Golem are really stimulated, just like the chariots of the Divine Zhou World. On the battlefield, push horizontally, and then vertically, and the enemy collapses.
Snowvis's army, placed outside the Underworld, doesn't look very friendly.
The armies of the two sides soon converged, and Xia He, as the dean of the Tenth Academy of Magic and the core mage under the county king, did not dare to be rude to him. Xia He was invited to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Lord Marquis, please sit here. "There was a magician who took Xia He and Smith and arranged a seat for him closest to the center. This is a guest seat, set up separately.
In the middle, there sat five magicians, one of whom was Goth, who was at the very edge.
The leader looked very young, but the vicissitudes in his eyes made Xia He feel that he was a guy in his forties and fifties, because he had achieved the epic relatively early, and he looked young.
And this guy should be going to advance to the legend soon.
Such an important person, I have never seen before, must be the most reliable general under Snowvis.
"Marquis, I'm Corleon. "The mage introduced himself.
"Asra Xia. Xia He heard the other party's surname, which was also a simple syllable, and it was estimated that his background was also very background.
Corleon Mi didn't look tall, a little shorter than Xia He, and not very athletic, but his skin was quite young, his nails were moisturized, and his long hair was black on the top of his head, and he was tied in a bun. The men of the Arcane Empire are still dressed very similarly to the Shenzhou Empire.
"Marquis, we all know your name. Corleone was quite modest, calm and not flattering. Quite simply, he unfolded a magical map, revealing a three-dimensional image.
"Is it convenient for me to be here?" Xia He interrupted.
Corleon was not angry, and said with a smile, "You are the headmaster of the Tenth Academy of Magic. ”
"Vice Chancellor. ”
Corleone said: "Actually, it's a blessing that we were able to invite you over. This time when we entered the underground world, something went wrong, and the other party did not allow our army to enter and blocked the entrance. And there is another entrance suitable for the army to enter, which is still seven or eight hundred miles away from here, and it is estimated that we will not be allowed to enter like this. ”
Xia He didn't answer, what did he have to say about this kind of thing, did he take the initiative to help?
"Our preparations, may be a little inadequate, but we have a mobile alchemy workshop, and we have been replenishing weapons all this time, if the headmaster has resources on him, he might as well sell them to us, if you want to enter the underground world, it seems that you have to use strong means. ”
Xia Hexin said, in the underground world, I plan to let the three goddesses divide it. However, the three goddesses want to conquer the entire underground world, God knows how long it will take, maybe they have succeeded on the ground, and they have not improved yet. As for Corleone's request, if he doesn't meet it, I'm afraid he won't be able to go down together.
Thinking of this, Xia He said: "Then according to the wartime agreement, I will provide the materials, and I will return the double share to me in the future." ”
The Xiahe lion opened his mouth widely, but there is a precedent for this.
He supported the royal family as a nobleman, not for money, but for the return of materials exponentially.
Many aristocrats didn't care about the money, but the supplies had to be met. Corleone heard Xia He say this, and after hesitating for a moment, he agreed. Xia He did have supplies on hand, but not much, but for an army of more than 10,000 people, it was a good supplement.
Especially in terms of potions, there are quite a few on the Xia River side, and then there are metal woods for making magic muskets, magic potions, and so on.
Corleon couldn't have asked for too much, his main purpose was to make the firepower sufficient, so that he could support the arrival of reinforcements from the Empire, and during this time, he had to establish an advance base in the underworld.
With an army of more than 10,000 people, it is easy to defend by building an advance base. There are very few open areas in the underground world, and even if the enemy has a large number of troops, they cannot commit them all, which is the difference from ground warfare.
In the underworld, skirmishes of a few hundred men are most common.
Because of this, Corleone wanted to have more firepower and reduce the loss of soldiers.
Corleon said: "Lord Marquis, since the Goths have arrived, we will launch an attack tomorrow and strive to build an advance base within three days." When the time comes, adult students can explore around the base, and I will send soldiers to follow. How about I assign a hundred soldiers and four mages to each trial team?"
"Thank you very much. "Xia He has no opinion. If you don't explore it yourself, Corleone will do the same, and when you say it, it's not protection. So Corleone used the word following. Xia He's trial team consisted of two teachers and ten students, plus ten academy mercenaries.
That's at least a configuration of twelve archmages, and if there's a professor assigned to it, there's also an epic mage.
With this configuration plus a hundred county king elites, there won't be too much risk unless you encounter a legend.
"You're welcome. After Corleone and Xia He greeted each other, they began to assign tasks. The five people sitting on it, including the Goths, are all powerful epic mages. They were also the leaders of this army of more than 10,000 people. Corleone was the supreme commander, and the remaining four men, each in charge of two thousand men.
Xia He listened to Corleon's arrangement, and Corleone didn't act too aggressively, he wanted to concentrate his superior firepower, use a small magic cannon and a magic musket, and forcefully blast open the gate of the Holy Mountain. This is the entrance to this underground world.
The Gate of the Holy Mountain probably has more than 3,000 troops stationed, but previous intelligence shows that this was not originally a fortress, just a tribal station. The tribe has now been merged, and the Gates of the Holy Mountain have become the southernmost defensive point of the underground city.
Xia He also learned that something had happened to the caravan sent by the nobles of the empire before, and not many people fled back.
That's why the king of the county sent an army over, and at first he was only in charge of negotiations, but the people on the other side never allowed humans to enter the underground and did not allow them to see prisoners, and the negotiations collapsed.
However, the people of the county king did not care whether the captives were alive or dead, and the captives were all merchants under the nobles from the south to the north. Wanting to threaten the county king with the merchants of the local nobility, those creatures of the underground world are blind.
Corleone is ready to storm and has already made a lot of magic bullets and potions here, plus some scrolls that mages need to use.
Xia He listened to the arrangement before and after, and felt that there was no problem, the caravan mercenaries who fled back, and some magicians, brought back information that showed that the army construction of the underground world was far inferior to the empire. The other party's soldiers, the ability to cooperate with the group is very ordinary, and they are not the opponents of the human army when they fight alone.
After so many years of development, the professional has become the standard of the regular army, and there are not many armies that want to defeat human soldiers alone. Even if you fight with demons, the well-dressed Terrans are not very afraid, as long as the forces are equal, they can win.
The main force of the attack is four steel golems, two ballista chariots, and ten epic summons.
The Iron Golem is the main force, and under the cover of the Golem, the Mage can enter the range to attack the enemy. Then there are the heavily armored musketeers, which do not require personal combat abilities and can fire magic bullets from a distance of two hundred meters.
The level of the Steel Golem is very high, with a level of thirty-five, and when Xia He heard it, he knew that there was nothing wrong with this attack. Unless the other party has a legendary powerhouse in charge.
This is also the reason why Xia He was invited, as long as Xia He followed and entered, ready to summon the fire demon, whether he had summoned it or not, he would have a military merit.
The people sitting below were all low-ranking officers, and it took almost an hour for the task to be completed, and these low-level officers all went out, and each gathered his subordinates to arrange tomorrow's task.
Corleon said, "Lord Marquis, look, is there anything wrong with my arrangement?"
Xia He shook his head and said, "I'm not suitable to participate in the battle plan. ”
Corleon said: "I hope to get your help, my lord, if you have anything that you can come up with, it will be counted as military merit, and it will be paid directly from the imperial military merit system." ”
Xia He smiled: "You have ten epic-level summoned creatures, which is enough to crush the enemies of the underworld. ”
"It's better to be careful, the power is in hand, the more the merrier. ”
Xia Hedao: "In this case, if necessary, I will release a fire crow, a level 30 epic creature, but the attack power is definitely higher than the ones you summoned, and it will last for a long time." ”
Corleone thanked him again, and Xia He was about to go back, Corleone said, "My lord, let's have dinner here before leaving." ”
"No, when I go back, I'll also prepare some scrolls, time is precious. You're going to be tough on the underworld, I didn't expect it......"
Corleone didn't stop Xia He, he stood up himself, sent Xia He out of the camp, and watched him leave before turning back.
"Goth, why did you bring him here!" Corleone's face turned ugly.
Goth said helplessly: "He is a marquis, he is the principal of the second-level academy, what do you want me to do?" Besides, I was afraid that there would be trouble when I ran into the demon legion at that time, so I could only let him follow." ”
