Chapter 457: The Enemy Army Arrives
In the ensuing battle, the forces of both sides were gradually strengthened. The dungeon creatures sent more soldiers and more heavy chariots, including lightning cannons and heavy crossbows, which bombarded the walls of the Black Iron Pass day and night. Even Adabisiah saw that the strength of the gray dwarves on the front line was insufficient, and he also sent a large number of dark elf mages, and even used the magic scrolls that the dark elves had treasured for a long time.
Looking at the dazzling magic that rose into the air and the huge bed crossbow javelin that whizzed by, an old dark elf mage mage muttered silently in his heart, "I don't know how many years ago when I last saw this scene. I didn't expect to have the privilege of seeing such a great scene in my life. Hmph, in the face of such a force, where can a few passes stop us. ”
Just as he thought of this, a roar pulled him back from his contemplation, and the dark elf mage's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly fled to the side, and then a large iron ball fell from the place where he had just stood. The iron ball bounced twice on the ground, changed direction eerily, and smashed into the queue of monster mutants next to it. Immediately, several screams came from the monster mutants, and the dark elf turned his head to look, only to find in horror that four or five monster mutants were clutching and wailing with stumps and broken arms at this time, and two other mutants on the ground had been beaten into blood clots.
"Bombard those bastards!"
A lizardman officer wields his sword, and next to him, two wolf-headed men and two lizardmen are quickly cooling down a bronze cannon and reloading it.
This is just a microcosm of the offensive battle at Black Iron Pass. The two sides went up and down this level, and they fought in table tennis for more than ten days without seeing a winner. Because of the dangerous terrain of the Black Iron Pass, the dungeon creatures and the gray dwarves never thought of attacking the city with ants, but only used long-range firearms to strike, and the Zerata City Guards, who had been strengthened by Sun Licheng, naturally returned the color, and did not suffer at all.
Of course, this state of affairs is unlikely to last long, because everyone knows that the dungeon creatures at this time are not attacking with all their strength, and they are waiting.
"Your Majesty, the last army has arrived. ”
At this time, Nedian, who was wearing dark armor, clasped his fists and saluted. Behind him was an army of well-armed dungeon creatures, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were a large number of dungeon creatures among them, which were obviously slave soldiers they had captured.
"Thank you. ”
Adabisiah nodded and said gently.
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the city lord's mansion in Helmark City.
"Your Majesty, is the front line so urgent right now, and do you need to transfer me?"
On the way, General Nedion asked curiously. Although he has always been the most powerful officer among the dungeon creatures, he is now basically only responsible for the training of new recruits. But not long ago, an order came from Helmark, and Adabisiah had transferred him to the front, and it was evident that they had run into trouble here.
Adabisiah nodded and said, "You guessed right, we're in some trouble. That Sun Licheng was even more terrifying than we imagined, he was not only strong in force, but also possessed a large number of powerful weapons. With his aid, the army of Zerata City has greatly increased its combat effectiveness, and they have stopped our soldiers at the Black Iron Pass. We've been fighting under the city for more than ten days, and even if we send a real mage regiment, we won't be able to take this small pass, which makes me have some doubts about the battle to capture the city of Zerata. If they can't storm a few more dungeons, then the guys in the dungeons won't be able to withdraw the troops of Britt Valley, and the oracle of His Majesty, the god of darkness and shadow, won't be able to complete it. ”
Hearing this, the general nodded and said, "Then let me lead the troops to Zerata City to fight down." ”
Adabisiah nodded and said, "You are the most powerful general in our dungeon world, and I believe that you will soon plant the banner of the god of darkness and shadows in the sky above the city of Zerata." ”
Hearing the high priest say this, the old general's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness.
After the arrival of the Dark Elves' troops, the total number of troops in the entire Helmark City has exceeded 32,000, and the total number of coalition troops has risen to 37,000 with the addition of officers and soldiers attacking at the Black Iron Pass. This force is almost as big as the largest dungeons.
Helmark's situation was soon discovered by Sun Licheng's mechanical spider reconnaissance lying in ambush, and the news was quickly passed on.
Seeing the surging army of dungeon creatures, Sun Licheng held his chin and frowned a little: "What's wrong with these guys? Do you really want to conquer the entire underground world by force?"
He couldn't imagine that even if the dungeon creatures and the gray dwarves joined forces now, there would still be too few armies on both sides. These armies may be able to conquer Zerata, and even a few more dungeons larger than Zerata City, but it is absolutely wishful thinking to rely on these forces to conquer the entire underworld. Even if there are not as many people in the underground world as there are in the above-world world, it is not difficult for everyone to get together and make an army of nearly 100,000.
"Leave this problem to the lizardman, I think he should have a solution. ”
Sun Licheng thought for a while and didn't understand, so he secretly said in his heart, and then he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in Zerata City.
The battle on the Black Iron Pass had apparently reached Zerata City, and after the initial panic, the soldiers and civilians of the dungeon found that the strength of the dungeon creatures was far less powerful than they had imagined, and their emotions immediately stabilized. Sun Licheng walked in the city, and he could even hear the singing that came from him, and those underground creatures began their happy lives again.
"Your Majesty Sun Licheng, you are here. Quick, please go in. ”
As the city lord of Zerata City, Amartyago was obviously in a good mood these days, and when he saw Sun Licheng, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Sun Licheng knew that this guy was in a good mood because the battle at Heitieguan was going well. But thinking of the news he was going to tell him, he couldn't help but shake his head and said secretly: "I wonder if you will stay in such a good mood when you hear the news I told you in a while?"
After the two of them took their seats, Sun Licheng said to the city lord of Amatiago: "Lord of the city, according to my latest news, the army of dungeon creatures has obviously arrived. At this moment, they are in the final joint practice, and they think that they are about to attack. ”
Sure enough, hearing Sun Licheng's words, the city lord of Amartyago was shocked in his heart. All the news that Sun Licheng said a while ago was fulfilled later, so he no longer doubted the truth of the news Sun Licheng said.
"What? Their army is there? So how many of them are there now?"
This is the question that Yamathiago is most concerned about, so he blurted out and asked.
Sun Licheng smiled bitterly and said, "According to my observation, there are at least 30,000 people in Helmark City. ”
"What? so much!"
This time, the city lord of Amartyago was not calm, he shouted loudly.
What is the magnitude of 30,000 people, if he comes to attack Zerata City, the lizardman will definitely not be able to withstand it, no wonder he will be shocked.
"That's just a conservative estimate, and I think they must be over 30,000. ”
To the lizardman's disappointment, Sun Licheng gave him the answer he didn't want the most.
Seeing what Sun Licheng said, Amatiago couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then let's prepare to meet them." Speaking of this, the lizardman's face suddenly turned cold, and he said fiercely: "If you want my Zerata, you also want to see if those dungeon creatures have a good set of teeth." ”
