Chapter 222: The Beginning of the Battle for Hegemony on Land and Sea (1) (Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for Recommendation!)
Toplow never imagined that he would receive such a "letter from a reader" in his lifetime:
"Don't be too surprised when you receive this letter, though you will certainly be the case later......
Two days later, on the night of the West Hammer of the Camel Empire, at the location marked below, there will be a meeting between the Federation of Wolfgar (son of the Great Chief of the Polar Bear People) and the Empire's Gelsang (Bactrian nobleman, the first shaman of the camels).
If I were you, I wouldn't have missed this message. It should rain that day, so it's a good day for stealth ambushes.
Attribution: An indifferent reader who has read your toxic work. ”
As soon as it finished reading the words on the tablet, a special spell was suddenly triggered, and the tablet that originally carried the words and pictures turned into fine sand and scattered on the bottom of the deep sea.
Although the powerful and ancient benthic devil fish, a member of the seven-cheeked council, had written down all the contents in its entirety, it was still a little lost for no reason.
It lacks one important "proof" to prove to the other benthic devilfish that its plan has worked.
Decades ago, in order to conquer the land, Toplow came up with a brilliant idea that was very different from the other seven-gills benthic devilfish to "find a more suitable source of troops".
With a lot of effort, the benthic devilfish held the carving knife with its tentacles and wrote a work called "The Daily Life of Toplo" on the clay tablet with a pen.
There is not a trace of the use of spells or psionic powers, in order to spread them to the lands ruled by the Empire and the Federation through the "lucky escape" of the shipwrecked seafarers, and carry out a "cultural invasion".
But who would have thought that the parchment paper used by the polar bears and camels to record their writings would be so expensive, and that Toplo's works would have no chance of being passed down to the world.
The failure of the cultural invasion has caused it to be ridiculed by many people from its own race, and that incident has always haunted it.
"Crawl silently", the benthic devilfish grumbled with a vocabulary that he had learned from nowhere.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through its brain, and the letter didn't convey a message?
Anyway, even if it fails, it will only lose some monster army, but if it succeeds, new "evidence" will naturally appear.
"Hahaha!"
Toplo laughed wildly, stirring up the waters of the deep sea and making meaningless grunts.
......
On the coast, just as the captain of the camel guard swung his axe to kill the treasurer on the spot, Gelsang stopped him in time.
"The man who gave the signal has been caught," the elderly Bactrian hump pointed to the distance, the raft man who was about to swallow the poison pill and kill himself had been captured alive by Quith. His jaw was dislocated, and the poison pill was removed, "Be careful to guard your surroundings, the enemy has obviously made a series of plans for a long time, and it will be even more dangerous to retreat blindly." ”
As soon as Gersang's words fell, a loud "boom" broke out in the place where the split-hoof oxcart was parked not far away, and the flames ignited the oxcart. Splashed with burning whale oil, the Split-Hoofed oxen pulling the cart went crazy in pain, dragging the cart that was also on fire, and ran desperately in all directions.
A few panicked Split-Hoofed Oxen rushed towards the seashore and were about to crash into the defensive guards. The sharp horns shone with a deadly cold light, and the hooves stomped heavily into shallow pits in the sand. These behemoths have lost their docile nature, and no matter how much the camel guards drink it, it will be useless.
"Get out of the way!"
Wolfgar flicked away a dromedary hump in front of him, picked up his hammer and smashed a split-hoof ox running in front of him from the side.
Then the son of the Great Chief of the Polar Bear threw the hammer to his side, grabbed the horns of the bull with both hands and lifted it up.
He bent his legs slightly, leaned back and struggled with his arms, turning the Splithoof Ox into a spinning top.
"Walk you!"
Exhaling a sound, Wolfgar threw the beast out of the air, and swept through the army, shoveling all the other split-hoofed oxen that rushed towards everyone at once, and could only lie on the beach and "moo" and wail.
His ability to turn the tide won a lot of applause, not only the polar bears of the same race, but also the camel guards cast admiring glances. Only the raft people did not notice the excitement of this side, and they all turned their heads to the sea, looking at the circular base that gradually accelerated towards the shore, and was dumbfounded.
The annular base neither raised its sails nor lowered its long oars, and the force of the surge alone was not enough to drive the heavy stone anchors that had been dragging on the ocean floor.
"There's a monster!", "Help!", "Run away!", ......
The floating raft people who remained in the ring base also saw the figure holding a torch on the shore, and immediately adjusted the wind lantern, and the candle made of fish fat flickered and flickered, sending a special light signal.
His lips twitched, and he quickly read the information passed on by the clansmen, and the expression of the treasurer elder standing near the shore suddenly changed drastically.
He grabbed the sleeve robe of Gelsang beside him, pointed to the rising waves in the distance, and said in horror: "My lord......! The monsters in the sea are hiding in the waves, pushing the circular base!"
In fact, in addition to them, Quest also discovered an anomaly under the waves: an ochomonster with a toad-like head, and a carapace-clad armored monster hiding under the surface of the sea, riding the impetus of the waves, quickly approaching the shore.
They surged like water into a narrow channel, jostling against each other, scrambling for the first place, but strangely not making any sound, and it was clear that someone, or something, was directing their movements.
"Prepare ......"
Before Gersang could say "retreat to the desert", the ground under everyone's feet suddenly trembled. Near the edge of the beach, the sand collapsed out of thin air.
Several huge sandworm heads bounced out, and then retracted, they were not responsible for fighting, and a large number of monsters emerged from the tunnels dug by the insects, discerned their direction, and immediately charged at the crowd gathered on the shore.
The captain of the camel guard, Grad, was most familiar with this place, and he immediately said to Gelsan: "My lord, there is a cliff over there, and on it there is a temporary outpost of the Empire, which can be ...... Hold on for a while is a moment. ”
In the face of an existential crisis, the efficiency of implementation will be greatly improved for all. Even without beckoning the others to join them, when the camels began to gallop along the shoreline, the polar bears and the rafters immediately followed.
In order not to reveal the space equipment he was carrying, when escaping past the anchorage of the Zhanyuan, Quest got on the boat and took out two long swords and a spear hidden in the dark compartment, and then caught up with the fleeing team.
"Hold your weapon," Quest shoved a steel sword into Kos's hand, the little boy who had been at the end of the line because he wanted to wait for him, "you won't have a chance to use it by my side, hold it tight when I'm not around." ”
Seeing the steel weapons that the young blue dragon had taken out, a few of the floating rafters running beside them showed envious looks. It's just that Ques immediately used his unkind eyes and the guy in his hand to intimidate the greedy people.
Behind him there was a loud "creaking" sound, the sound of the two ring bases running aground one after another, followed by the wails of the monsters.
Everyone couldn't help but look back, only to see a wall of fire burning around the ring base, and many monsters who wanted to attack the ring base were burned by this sudden flame.
"That's a last resort, and it's burning the flame-retardant fuel made from stored whale oil and algae oil," the boy said, looking back, worriedly to Queth, "It's very powerful, but the stored fuel lasts for a day at most." ”
"It should be fine, as long as we can hold out until dawn. Quest gestured to the Polar Bears at the front of the group, he had just heard them call Wolfgar, "Those guys are not small, maybe there is a way to find someone to rescue." ”
Kos was skeptical, but there was certainly nothing the boy could do on his own.
The cliff was not far from where everyone had evacuated, and at least by virtue of the racial advantage of their height and long legs, the camels galloped for a while before running to the outpost that Captain Grad had mentioned.
The polar bears are not bad, although they are not as long as the legs of the camels, but at least they are very explosive in the short sprints. And they also had good stamina, so they rushed to the post with the camels almost front and rear.
Compared to these two races, the physical fitness of the raft people is much dwarfed. Their line ran and ran for a long time, and some of the young and old at the back were even about to be overtaken by the monsters behind them.
The camels and polar bears who arrived first had already moved out of the garrison at the outpost and set up rolling stones to erect barricades. Looking at this posture, if the raft man and the monster get too close, I am afraid that they will also be attacked indiscriminately.
"Hold the sword in your hand and remember to roll when you land," he told Kos, who lifted his neck and tossed it gently. The boy instantly overtook many of his clansmen who were still running, and landed at the front of the group. Seeing that he was still looking back at himself, Quest shouted "anxiously": "I'll break it off, and I'll catch up later." ”
"It's kind of a good way to loosen your muscles. ”
Watching Kos run away with the team of floating raft people, the young blue dragon turned his head to look at the chasing monster and said lightly.
With a flick of his left hand, Quest used the steel longsword as a dart and directly threw the nearest fish demon to death.
Instead of picking up the weapon, he used the spear he was holding in his other hand and stabbed diagonally backwards with his backhand, killing one of the armored monsters that was about to sneak up on him......
"That raft man is strong!" said Standing on the edge of the cliff, Wolfgar looked down from time to time. While helping his people fix the rolling stones with wooden wedges, he said to Volibel, who was doing the same job, "Even compared to me...... Probably better than me. ”
His own people had ropes to pull out the wooden wedges, and Wolfgar no longer had to hold his shoulders against the rolling stones. Instead of continuing to work on the arrangement of the defenses, he concentrated on admiring the battle that took place at the bottom of the cliff. 2k reading web
