Chapter Seventy-Three: The Hell of Fire
When the first rays of the morning sun cast through the towering emerald mountains on both sides into the mist-shrouded river valley, the snowy orcs walked out of their tents tiredly while yawning and rubbing their eyes.
Because they had to be ready to fight at all times, all the orcs didn't get a good night's sleep last night, they were just simply lying down in armor and holding soldiers, and in the early hours of the morning, they barely slept for a while, and at this time, it was time to get up and feed the silver wolf mount.
Gradually, the surroundings of thousands of snow-white tents within five or six hundred meters of the river began to be lively, from there, from time to time, the low roar of silver wolves, the shouting of snowfield orcs, the clashing of weapons, and the long sound of horns were heard......
Relying on the alchemy paper cranes hidden in the surrounding birds, Wang Xu always paid attention to the situation in the snowfield half-orc military village, when he observed that most of the snowfield half-orcs in the military village were a little sluggish, Wang Xu coldly pursed the corner of his left mouth, and felt that the possibility of his plan succeeding had increased a lot.
When the originally gloomy river valley was illuminated by the morning sun, the dense fog in the valley not only did not decrease, but became thicker.
After seeing the fog in the valley thickening, Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, closed the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and pointed them like a sword, and silently recited a series of incantations.
After Wang Xu finished reciting the incantation, the earth fire talisman buried in the ground around the snowfield orc army village began to burn, melting all the rocks and soil around the talisman and dissolving it into magma.
The iron-spine silver wolf, who was lying quietly next to Nazug, suddenly stood up, lowered his head, put the tip of his nose on the ground, sniffing something vigorously, and while sniffing the ground, the iron-spine silver wolf wandered around uneasily, and his pale blue eyes were full of confused gaze.
"What's wrong?" Nazug, who stood like a giant statue, turned his head to look at his beloved wolf, looked at its uneasy appearance, and asked in a soft voice containing feelings, "Is there something wrong?"
The iron-spine silver wolf trotted to Nazug's side, with its bloody mouth, and howled "woo, woo, woo......" for a long time, and I don't know what it howled.
Ordinary people couldn't understand it, but Nazurg, who was proficient in beast language, completely understood what his pet meant, he touched the head of the silver wolf with pity, and explained to it softly: "These two mountains are volcanoes, and the mountains are full of magma, and there are flames under the ground, which is also very normal. ”
After a few more "woo, woo, woo......, the iron-spine silver wolf expressed some emotions that he understood, and then lay down beside Nazug again, tilting his head and rubbing Nazug's body flatteringly.
It was because of Nazug's misjudgment that he did not prepare his men in advance, so it also caused the tragic fate they would suffer.
"Huh?" After about a minute or two, Nazug also realized that something was wrong, and he was surprised to find that all the emerald green plants and trees around his military fortress had begun to wither, and even the plants one by one were burned to black ash by the heat coming from the ground.
Before Nazug could analyze what was happening, there was a "...... bang", and from the ground not far from him, a small hole the size of a fist burst out, and hot bright yellow sulfur gas gushed out from the small hole!
Immediately afterwards, several explosions of "bang, bang, bang......" sounded, and one after another small holes appeared on the ground, and after a while, the military village was covered with columns of sulfur gas comparable to big trees.
Seeing this situation in front of them, all the snowfield orcs knew that something was wrong, and they all rushed to the back of the camp to find their silver wolf mounts, but as early as when the sulfur gas column first appeared, the silver wolves there broke free and ran around non-stop, trying to escape from the range enveloped by this pungent sulfur gas.
There was a continuous muffled sound of "woo ......", and I saw that Nazug was blowing a bull horn two or three meters long with his head up, and he planned to use the trumpet to summon his subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army.
However, at this time, the entire military village was shrouded in a pale yellow smoke and dust, and all of Nazug's subordinates were choked by the deadly sulfur gas, bending over and coughing violently, and even those silver wolf mounts were choked with tears in their eyes, and they kept snorting wildly, and even a few silver wolves were already choking on their limbs, with their feet facing the sky, their bellies exposed, and their mouths foaming, and they were not alive at sight.
After seeing that the camp of the snowy orcs was completely shrouded in yellow smoke, Wang Xu quickly turned around, looked at the people behind him, and shouted: "Let's go!"
After roaring, Wang Xu took the lead in rushing out of the stone gate, standing at the door, pointing to a rough stone step leading to the plank road on the mountainside, and instructed Warren and the others who came out with him: "You have to follow the two succubus sisters, they both know the way to the top of the mountain, remember, be fast, this is hell soon, don't stop if you don't want to die!"
After speaking, Wang Xu gestured to the two succubus sisters, and after receiving the signal given by Wang Xu, the two sisters took the lead on the stone steps where only two people could stand side by side, while Warren and the others followed the two succubus sisters, and once again lined up in a long snake formation, running up the stairs.
Looking at the minotaur Sangu who was still standing next to him, Wang Xu persuaded him loudly: "You don't have to follow me, you can also go, you don't need to break the queen, Zhana is a necromancer saint, she can use the undead sea magic, just use the undead creature to break off!"
After listening to Wang Xu's words, the minotaur Sangu gasped and hesitated for a while, then turned around suddenly, carried two sharp axes, followed Warren's knight team, and rode towards the top of the stairs with the big stride of "dang, dang, dang......".
After seeing Warren and the others walking to the plank road on the mountainside, Wang Xu glanced at the half-orc army village that was still shrouded in sulfur smoke, turned his head, frowned at Zhana and Nilou beside him, and said to them: "It seems that the smoke is about to dissipate, let's go too, seal the stairs with the sea of the dead, and I will carry out the second phase of the plan." ”
"Hmm!" Zana replied, waving her hand and pointing in front of her, only to see that after a muffled sound of "click......", a group of ragged undead creatures stood from the ground, among these creatures, there were skeleton fighters in tattered copper armor, monsters that rotted to the point of leaking bones, there were vampire counts with confused expressions and black tuxedos, and some strange creatures that looked like a puddle of mud with a foul smell.
After Zana used the magic of the Sea of the Dead, Wang Xu, Nilou and Zana also walked up the stone steps, and as they walked up, Wang Xu sprinkled a few extreme explosive charms on the steps, sneering as he walked, he knew that the real killing move was about to begin.
I only listened, a few loud noises of "bang ......", the earth shook, the mountains and rivers shook, and the gravel on the mountain "poof, poof......" came down, with those loud noises, the mountains on both sides of the river valley were blown up, and the gravel instantly blocked the river, and the river was cut off.
Then, there were several loud "......bangs", and the mountains at both ends of the river valley were blown up again, and the entire thousand-meter-long river valley was surrounded by a pile of rubble into a deep pit of only five or six hundred meters long.
At this time, the earth fire talisman had almost burned all the sulfur under the half-orc military village, so the sulfur smoke gradually dispersed, and I saw that the military village was full of half-orcs with red eyes and tears on their faces, as well as a silver wolf whose head was paralyzed on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Nazug, who had a hideous face, after taking a look at the situation of his men, knew that his team had no strength to fight for the time being, suddenly, he turned his head to the arched stone gate, and in an instant, he saw the human team that had already walked on the plank road, he roared wildly, grabbed the trumpet, and blew "......" violently.
Hearing their leader blow the horn of assembly, the snowy orcs who could still stand up ran towards Nazug, and some even found their silver wolf mounts, and amazingly, their silver wolf mounts were not dead.
Looking at the remnants of the defeated army in front of him, Nazug shook his head with a wry smile, he found that the wolf cavalry team of 8,000 people under his command was now less than 2,000 people with mounts, and the rest were all infantry.
Wang Xu, who was walking on the stairs, also heard the long sound of the horn, he turned his head to look at the half-orc team that was being assembled, and after sneering, he raised his right hand again and pointed like a sword.
I saw that on the mountains on both sides of the long deep pit, all the plants and trees began to wither, and then began to burn, and then, bursts of sulfur gas erupted again, and along with the sulfur gas, streams of magma formed by the rock melted by the earth fire charm flowed out of the hole, along the mountain wall, towards the pit.
Suddenly, the ground around the snowfield half-orc army village collapsed violently, and the ground there had already been burned into a magma pool by countless earth fire talismans, if it weren't for the small river above that played a cooling role, it would have collapsed a long time ago, and now, the small river has been cut off by Wang Xu, and the river water has also evaporated and dried up, and the ground that has lost its cooling effect has finally been burned through.
"Bang dang dang ......" a noisy sound, countless snowfield orcs who had already been smoked by sulfur gas, and fell into the magma pool inside as the ground collapsed, and after a chaotic scream of "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah......", these half-orcs, after a few bubbles of white smoke came out of the "g......runt", they sank into the magma and turned into ashes.
Some of the stronger orcs and the half-orcs with the silver wolf mount jumped out of the magma pool before the ground collapsed, but even so, the magma that slowly flowed down from the mountain had already blocked their retreat, and the only way to go was the narrow stone staircase five hundred meters away, because only around that staircase, there was no downward flow of magma.
Nazug, who had the strength of an eighth-order fighter, was of course not dead, and after analyzing the situation at the moment, he hurriedly beckoned his surviving subordinates and rushed to the stone staircase leading to the mountain plank road.
At this time, the thick yellowish sulfur gas, covering the sky and the sun, covered the entire deep pit, no ray of sunlight can reach the bottom of the pit, but this is a bright and bright world, because the fire of magma illuminates everything here, but also burns everything here, originally emerald green, covered with all kinds of plants, lively mountains and valleys, at this moment, burned into black stone blocks by magma, the creatures on the mountain, those who can run, have long run, and those who can't run have long been wiped out......
Finally, Nazug led the team to the staircase, but the staircase was too narrow for two people to stand side by side, so the surviving snowfield orcs also lined up in a long snake formation and ran wildly towards the plank road above.
At this time, Warren and the others, who had already reached the top of the mountain, looked back at the hellish scene in the valley, thinking back to what Wang Xu said, at this moment, they finally understood why Wang Xu said that if he didn't leave quickly, then everyone would die, and he was not wrong at all, there, it had really become a hell of fire.
What lingered in the hearts of Warren and the others was not only shock, but also horror, they each thought about it from the perspective of the enemy, and they all felt that if they were those snowy orcs in the deep pit, would they be able to survive, the answer was self-evident, they would definitely die!
Just when Warren and the others felt the horror of Wang Xu's methods, Wang Xu took Nilou and Zana to the top of the mountain, and after saying hello to Warren and the others, he looked back at the surviving snowfield orcs who were about to walk to the mountain, and sneered.
Accompanied by the strange smile on Wang Xu's face illuminated by the fire of magma, suddenly, the countless explosions of "boom, boom, boom......" set off a sea of fire on the stone staircase, and the screams of despair also sounded on the staircase, and finally, the stone staircase was completely blown up, and all the surviving snow orcs, in the case of the bombed limbs, screamed, struggled, waved their arms weakly, with a desperate expression, fell into the magma river that had long flooded the valley, and turned into a wisp of green smoke.
The troll lord Squall, who was spared by Wang Xu, was tied up behind his back by a knight at this time, and he completely watched the whole process of Wang Xu's slaughter of the snowfield orcs, and also deeply realized Wang Xu's terrible.
Suddenly, "Poof!", Scowl broke free from the knight's back, knelt on the ground, looked up at Wang Xu with trembling lips, stared at his bloodshot pale yellow eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I ......"
