Chapter 40: The Battle of Crete
Cai Yunnan immediately contacted Hu Menglin. As a result, this time Hu Menglin finally replied, "I'm recuperating from my injuries, and now I'm in the demon world." What's going on?"
Cai Yunnan felt Hu Menglin's current situation and felt that he was in low spirits, so he asked with concern. Hu Menglin replied, "The main battle mood of the Demon Realm is very high, and there are only five races left in the Nine Great Clans that have not yet made a clear statement! Moreover, the strength of the Demon Realm is extremely strong, and it is by no means weaker than the Demon Realm!"
Cai Yunnan was also a little uneasy in his heart, but he still briefly reported the matter of the amethyst coin he had just seen. As a result, Hu Menglin only replied with one sentence: Make more amethyst coins, the more the better, and buy things from all walks of life!
Cai Yunnan immediately found the old man of the earth element who was in charge and explained his request. The old man of the earth element was very interested, asked to understand the cause and effect of the matter, and immediately asked all the earth elemental people to put down their work, immediately transport all the amethyst coins to a safe place, and then hurry up production!
At the same time, he also asked Caiyunnan to buy a large number of amethyst sheepskins from the demon world, this space is not too big, and the amethyst mines are not particularly many.
When Cai Yunnan proposed to move the entire space of the energy civilization to Qinglin, it was unsurprisingly rejected, and it was finally agreed that the Earth Element and Gold Element Clan would send a team of ten people to settle in Qinglin, responsible for contacting and transmitting supplies, and reinforcing Qinglin and the Eastern Wilderness if necessary.
After staying for three or four days, the group returned to Jesse City. A few elves and cave people were bored, so they simply bought all kinds of supplies on the spot, attracting other tribes around to bring in all kinds of special products. Caiyunnan decided to build a long-term acquisition warehouse here, and arranged for a few strong people to stay here.
After discussion, everyone decided not to go to Qinghu anymore, and returned directly to Luoxi City from here, and teleported to Luoshui Alliance with the help of the teleportation array.
###############
On the edge of the vast wild west coast, there are patches of golden sand, with the rise and fall of the tide, from time to time there are some loose shellfish and shrimp, wandering back and forth on the beach, occasionally fighting with each other, attracting many birds and monsters flying in the air to peep.
On the shore, several huge bronze-clad wooden boats are slowly descending, and the waves are crashing through the golden sand. The sound of footsteps running across the beach startled the waterfowl that were about to land as "profiteers" and flew away, glaring angrily at the group of orcs who had just rushed to the side of the boat.
A tall elephant warrior shouted and ordered several Pengren squad leaders, and behind him, five priests walked side by side, and the first one was a fox scepter priest.
"Samurai, what's wrong, why isn't the ship full of our warriors now, which team is delayed?"
The elephant warrior frowned, and turned around and said, "It's the young patriarch of the lion man, Shi Tianying, he went hunting with a team of soldiers this morning, and when the news reached him, he had been away for more than a hundred miles!
The wrinkles on the Scepter Priest's face deepened, and the fox behind him flicked his tail, "Don't wait for him, the head temple informs that this reinforcement is not idle, and it must arrive before the specified time, if it is outdated, the entire temple will be punished! The glory of the gods cannot be desecrated!
With his words, several ships quickly rushed into the water, cleaving the waves and quickly galloping towards the "island of Crete". Less than half an hour after the fleet left, a team of neatly running warriors rushed over, and in the team, there were wild boar people, snow leopard people, and more lion warriors. The leader of the group was a young man with blond hair.
"Young Patriarch, the fleet is gone, and a letter has been left here!" A woman from the Arrow Goose Clan plucked a feather from a tree, and on the broad surface of the feather, a passage was recorded in the Goblin language:
"After reading the letter, quickly wait for the next fleet, it is expected to pass by in an hour and a half, contact them, and quickly reinforce Crete! Fifteen hundred people from the demon vanguard have raided the mine, and five hundred strong men have been killed in battle!"
The blonde lion's face immediately turned gloomy. He is the most outstanding leader of this generation in the orc kingdom, and he is also the nephew of the Golden Lion King. Crete is located south of the west coast, very close to the orc tribe, but belongs to the goblin kingdom. Bronze ore is abundant here.
As one of the high-ranking orcs, the young patriarch of the lion man understood that this time was troublesome, not a drill, but a real war! And he, as one of the important team leaders, actually went hunting at a critical moment! Not to mention delaying the fighter plane, he might also send the most important orc sacrifice team directly to the point of no return. If his two hundred strong men accompanied the ship, it was estimated that the probability of dying in the sacrificial battle would not exceed 30 percent, but now, the estimated probability of death had reached 70 percent! If the temple was held accountable afterwards, he would definitely be in big trouble!
Seeing the contents of the letter, there was also a snow leopard man standing beside him, and he shouted a few times behind him, and a lame old man moved over. "Kobold Strategist, tell me what to do about this situation?"
Known as the kobold military advisor, he is an old man of the dog clan, and the vicissitudes of time have given him insight into all human feelings. He didn't react to the disrespectful salutation, he looked at the letter, then looked up at the sky, sniffed his nose in the air, turned back to the two hundred warriors and said, "Immediately put down dozens of big trees, tie them into wooden rows, immediately tie up a large cloth with animal skins, and take advantage of the wind to advance, it is expected that you can catch up half as fast as usual!
This coast, the closest to Crete, is expected to be less than three hundred miles. If you sail quickly, it will only take half a day. Among the two hundred warriors, there were many powerful races, and they quickly brought down dozens of big trees, and even the leaves were not completely cleaned, so they were tied with animal tendons, and then several animal skins were tied to the four corners and floated in front of the wooden raft with the wind.
There were fifty people on each row, ten of whom were in charge of paddling, and the others sat honestly on it, not daring to move at all, after all, the waves were very strong, and it was no joke to fall. The four wooden rafts set off quickly and headed for Crete, two hundred miles away.
After walking for more than half an hour, a humpback whale appeared in front of me. A sea tribesman jumped over the whale's head, "Little patriarch, hurry up, there are demon tribesmen descending from the sky, and the entire air is full of enemies, almost more than 2,000 people, plus the first group of attackers, a full 3,000 people, and there are only 2,000 people on our island now! The nearest crab people, sea snake people, and lobster people of the sea tribe have all come up to support, but we are too poor on land, and the impact is not great at all! This whale will be handed over to you to pull the boat, and the first fifty miles is the fleet that has just passed!"
Two snow leopard men jumped into the water on each wooden raft and tied the tendons to the whale's body, and then the humpback whale quickly turned around and chased forward.
At this time, Yue Qingshui was standing on the highest point of Crete, and behind her, there were Gengkins, Qinglin Orcs, two mountaintop cave men, and several goblins. They are on an envoy to the Western Wilderness Goblin Kingdom, and they are visiting this Cretan island!
"Yue Qingshui, you just came, and you still don't understand the power of my goblin kingdom! Don't worry, these thousand eight hundred demons are not a problem at all. Look, our air defense weapons are good! If it falls from the sky, it will also be shot down by us! Stupid demons, if they want to rely on this flying bronze ship, they will attack from the sky, fortunately, the powerhouse of the forbidden sky realm among the orcs is not there, otherwise they will even get the ship down!" a goblin man laughed disdainfully.
Yue Qingshui was unceremoniously, "My opinion is not as optimistic as yours. In my judgment, if there is no reinforcements in half an hour, we will have to retreat. These more than 2,000 demons, plus the half of the demons we killed just now, the total number is nearly 3,000. Think about how we could be their opponents when we have less than half of us left!
No matter how powerful the bronze cannon is, it has to be blown up to be able to do it! Also, I am very optimistic about the power of the bronze cannon falling from the sky, I don't know if you have calculated it, but only more than 150 people were shot down by us. Less than one-tenth, and the rest fell directly on our position, and this casualty was far smaller than a frontal attack! The commander of the demon clan is really a genius!"
The proud goblin man opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't find a reason. It took a long time before he said, "If it were your eastern wilderness, it would probably have fallen a long time ago!"
Yue Qingshui said, "Maybe! But if it was our Qinglin tribe, it is estimated that we would have retreated a long time ago! Our principle is to annihilate the enemy with superior forces, not to be annihilated!"
The two were arguing when they suddenly heard a dull voice from the other side. The goblin man's face immediately changed, then he listened carefully, and then suddenly shouted, "Get down!"
Yue Qingshui and Gengkins fell to the ground at once, but the other goblins didn't react so quickly, only to see a huge cannonball fall from the sky, smashed into the middle of the crowd, and rolled with the momentum, crushing the high wall and the few slaves standing behind the wall.
These shells, unlike the Goblin Kingdom's flowering shells, are solid. This is mainly because the bronze cannon of the demon clan has not reached the strength of encapsulating the "flowering bomb" so far, not to mention the formula of the "flowering bomb" magic potion, the goblins and the Rossi people have always kept it a secret and resolutely refused to let the demons grasp it.
With the roar of this cannonball, one cannonball after another fell from the sky, and the goblins, elves, and orcs who were guarding the high place suffered!
As if the cannonball was the clarion call for a general attack, one by one the Demon Pupil Warriors led a large number of cave spider people and spider demon powerhouses, mixed with a small number of Lich Kings as magic support, and quickly rushed towards the goblin position in the high place, and soon became entangled with the goblins of the first line of defense.
The old goblin in the high place couldn't care about bragging anymore at this time, he tightened his eyebrows, and for a while he scratched his ears and cheeks, and there was nothing he could do. Except for a few small battles with the elven kingdom, the goblin kingdom has not fought for more than a hundred years, no matter how well equipped and how powerful the army is, it is difficult to have outstanding performance on the battlefield without the influence of war for a long time.
