Section 534 Exploration of the Ancient City
"It seems that the matter is very clear, the appearance of this city here obviously has something to do with the demons!" Forget Worry smiled: "It's all unfashionable guys, why don't we go in and have a look?"
"Okay!" said Poor Dao, "but everyone should follow closely and don't disperse, it's very weird here, maybe it's dangerous!"
"Yes!" everyone agreed neatly, even Liroya, and she shouted the loudest.
When everyone agreed, we marched to the city on full alert. It slowed us down a lot, but the atmosphere was so strange that I was almost certain that there was danger inside, so I had to be so careful.
As we walked through the meadow, which was more than a foot high, we found a lot of skeletons and scattered battle equipment in the grass. The physical characteristics of these white bones are obvious, and with their unique weapons, armor, they can be identified with a little closer identification. Among the people who died here were the winged warriors, the gargoyles of the demon flying troops, vampires, dream knights, and even the skeletons of two demon dragons.
These huge creatures were all broken into several pieces by an unknown powerful force, and many bones were cracked and broken, and even broken into small pieces, scattered in the surrounding grass, and it could be said that there were no dead bodies. If it weren't for the fact that their skulls were still well preserved, we wouldn't be able to tell how many of them were.
"Oh my God. What kind of power can beat the dragon body like this?" Xiang Xiang said in surprise, "The vertebrae were broken into several pieces, and even half of the thickest thigh bone was broken into pieces. Oh my god, this, this is simply unthinkable pull!"
"Some of these bones are blackened, as if they were burnt out. Could it be that it was blown up by a fire-based spell?" Ouyang Ruolan said suspiciously: "It seems that the lightning spell also has a similar effect. Sister, what do you say?" she then turned to Liroya.
"It should be the electric system, the temperature of the fire system explosion can't reach such a high level, and the destruction is not like this, it should all be broken, it won't be so uneven. Besides, the specialty of the Winged People is the wind system, and it is very easy to master the wind variant lightning spell, I have never heard of anyone among the Winged People who can use the fire type spell to this extent!" Liroya then sighed again: "To be able to beat the demon dragon into such a spell, it is estimated that it is at least a forbidden spell, and it is unlikely that there will be several such masters among the Wingmen!"
"Even if there is such a master, it is unlikely that it will be placed outside, and it must be used to guard the most important places!" Poor Dao smiled: "These two demon dragons may have died under the attack of the forbidden spell issued by this city!"
"Yes. Makes sense!" Forget Worry smiled and said: "Have you found out? The number of losses between the wingman warriors and the enemy is too disproportionate, I roughly calculated, almost one wingman warrior will be buried with ten demons." I think it is absolutely impossible for the combat effectiveness of the two sides to be so different, and the reason why such a strange situation can occur. Eighty percent have something to do with the city. Liroya, do you know what it was like during the battle in this city?"
"I haven't seen it fight, but I've heard of it. Do you see the towering columns in the city?" asked Liroya.
We all looked at the city again and easily spotted the columns, a bit like street lamps. The cylinder is rounded, and at the top is a metal ball that shimmers brightly. These cylinders are large and small. The largest is several meters in diameter, dozens of meters high, and the smallest is one or two feet thick, about ten meters high.
But they are only located at the upper end of the city, and below they seem to have only the protrusions of ball piles, and no columns! It's very beautiful. After noticing those things, Elena immediately asked impatiently, "See, what are they for?"
"Under the control of the Winged Terran warriors, those glittering orbs can unleash magical lightning bolts, depending on the size of the orbs!" Liroya explained, "Listening to the Winged Men explain that the highest level can release level 11 magic, it seems that they are hiding something from us!"
"How many columns are there in this city, if they cast a spell together, wouldn't it be invincible?" Ouyang Ruolan asked incredulously.
"Of course it's invincible!" Li Ruoya said in an envious tone: "At the beginning, as soon as it appeared, the demon clan was defeated and retreated, and in the end, the demon clan forced almost all the ace elites in the flying troops, mobilizing a total of 300,000 troops, and dozens of demon dragons, which were commanded by a royal family in the demon clan. Determined to shoot it down!"
"At that time, the battle was so fierce that the two sides tore through the air for seven days and seven nights. The entire sky and the earth were completely stained red with blood, and the corpses of the warriors on both sides fell like rain. As a result, in the end, the Winged Human Race only sacrificed 30,000 warriors to completely defeat the demon army. And the number of troops that the demons were able to remove from the battlefield was less than 100,000!" Liruoya said with admiration, "That battle was the most brilliant victory in the entire war with the demons!"
"Hasn't the strength of that commander of the demon clan reached the level of Seraphim?" Forget worry said strangely: "As long as there is a six-winged demon clan participating in the battle, and with the army of 300,000, I think, no matter how powerful this city is, it can't resist it?" Because ordinary forbidden spells are basically ineffective for people of your level." ”
"Yes, that Demon Emperor didn't have the strength of Seraphim at that time, and it was probably about the same level as that stinky octopus!"
"Then why don't they use the powerful demons?" asked Forget Worry strangely.
"There are not many six-winged level demons, they are all arrogant people like us, how can they easily deal with the earth-wing people whose strength is so much worse than them?" They are also afraid that after dealing with the winged people, we will take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"Bored vanity combined with brainless prudence is a missed opportunity, and a terrible loss. The demons are really good!" Forget Worry commented disdainfully, and then she asked, "That's right." How many troops did the Winged Terran have at that time?"
"There are only less than 150,000 troops in the entire city!" Li Ruoya said: "I heard that most of the casualties of the Winged People were in the later stages of the war, and it may be that the city's energy consumption was too large, which reduced the intensity of the attack, which led to the increase in casualties!"
"Then in that case, why do the demons still retreat?" Elena asked strangely, "Don't they still have 100,000 people?
"100,000 against 120,000, the other party still has the help of the city, and the demons may not be able to win even if they fight to the end. Besides, the Demon Clan's dispatch was all ace elites, and if the whole army was wiped out, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of the army!" Liroya smiled bitterly: "Even so, the Demon Clan's air force has been greatly damaged since then. Lost at least a third of its combat effectiveness!"
"The bloody battle lasted for seven days and seven nights, where were the angels at that time? If you can arrive in time, I'm afraid that none of the 100,000 defeated soldiers of the demon clan will be able to return alive, right?"
Liruoya's old face flushed and said, "How do I know." I never participated in the command of the war. Usually I hide in the Heavenly Realm to cultivate, but only when it comes to the big battle, I will be invited to fight, and I will come back after the battle! These things are also to listen to them in the middle of the battle, otherwise I wouldn't bother to inquire!"
"A subordinate like you. It's definitely the favorite place of all the generals!" Poor Dao couldn't help but laugh.
With our laughter, everyone has gradually approached the city. The closer we get to it, the more we feel small. That feeling. It's like a swarm of ants looking up at an elephant. As we approached it, we didn't rush to fly up, but first took a closer look at the lower half of the city.
The lower half of the city is shaped like an inverted cone, with the tip plunging down into the earth. We don't know how deep it is, but the city stands very firmly and does not have the slightest inclination, so it is estimated that it should be absolutely shallow.
On the surface of the lower half, in addition to the protruding eye-like balls, there are many dense holes. These holes are all round, arranged very regularly, and the diameter is about two meters, which is very consistent!
The number of these holes is so large, at least in the thousands, that the lower half of the city is like a honeycomb. Although the spacing between these holes is large enough that it does not affect the overall structure of the city, it still has a certain effect. In addition, the difficulty of construction and design will be greatly increased, so it must be quite laborious to build so many holes. Obviously, no one would do such a thankless job without a special reason.
"What are these caves for, sister!" the curious Ouyang Ruolan was the first to point to the entrance of the cave and began to ask.
"It's the Wingman's hiding hole, and it can release thousands of Wingman warriors into battle in an instant. Moreover, these openings are connected to the upper rooms of the city. In other words, in a very short time, the army of the Winged People can fight from the sky above the city, through the city, and below. Their enemies can only be spared from the edge of the city. Liroya explained with a smile: "The demon clan has suffered a big loss under the elusive attack of the winged people!"
"Genius design!" Forget worry couldn't help but praise it: "The rapid formation of a huge battle front, the rapid and safe mobilization of troops, these are the keys to whether a battle can be won! I think, I'm afraid the role of these holes is not only that, right?"
"Yes! That's not all. Liroya smiled: "Their existence allows the winged warriors to get out of battle at any time, the wounded can go in for treatment, they can replenish at any time when they are out of arrows, and even when they are pursued by strong hands, the wingmen can hide in for a while." Have you noticed that the balls that shoot lightning are very close to the hole, so whoever dares to chase them will be unlucky!"
"Moreover, the warriors of the Winged Terran are all very good at bows and arrows, and they are the best at it. It is to suddenly release the troops from here, and then whirl around while shooting arrows, and when all the arrows in the ground are shot in hand, they will plunge into the hole again, so that those enemies who are shot will not have a chance to fight back at all!" Liroya smiled bitterly: "In fact, their individual combat effectiveness may not be stronger than the elite of the demon race. But the reason why they suffered so few casualties is definitely directly related to this almost reckless tactic!"
"It will only take a few seconds for a winged warrior to shoot ten arrows, and if ten warriors come out of a hole, it will only take a few seconds to come out and go around in a small circle, which is just enough to shoot a hundred arrows. There are so many holes here, as long as each hole comes out once, it can definitely form an impenetrable arrow rain, with the unique arrow skills of the winged people, I am afraid that any kind of demon elite will also become a hedgehog!" Ouyang Ruolan immediately calculated, and then sighed: "Hide after shooting the arrow rain." Just wanting to hit others and not letting the opponent fight back is simply unreasonable. ”
"It's just that it's even more yin than the insidious military god of Poor Dao. Poor Dao also secretly sighed in his heart, and at the same time I made up my mind. The fighting style of this city is very much to my liking, and I have to take it for anything.
"Yes, you look at the demon bones on the ground, there are obvious traces of being shot on the ground, especially those armors. It's all shot into a sieve!" Xiangxiang was also surprised: "The archery skills of the Winged Human Race are really terrifying!"
"Hehe!" Elena suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe the Winged Terran Clan's archery cultivation method is in the city, don't forget, this is not only their Earth Phoenix but also their most important temple!"
"That's right!" Poor Dao's eyes lit up, and he smiled excitedly, "I'm sure it's inside." Just don't be ruined by the guys inside!Let's go in and find out!" Poor Dao was a little impatient.
No way, it's really the archery skills of the winged people are too attractive. The Holy Light Cavalry Regiment of the Holy See just relied on a little bit of stealing the fur to form the famous Demon Bow Iron Cavalry on the mainland, and the lethality is definitely not inferior to that of high-level mages, which is all that Poor Dao has witnessed in the battle of the orc invasion If such a force can be in my hands, Quack, it is the best weapon to deal with the flying birdmen!
"Since these holes are connected, let's not pull them from above, but drill them directly from below, right?" Immediately smiled and proposed.
"Okay!" everyone immediately agreed, and hurried forward. After approaching, we took to the skies together. Ruolan is still carried by Liruoya and flies, Elena can sit on the black dragon, Xiangxiang is pulled by Forget Worries, and Poor Dao is responsible for Gai Ci. I led everyone to the nearest hole.
Poor Road was the first to break in, and found that the cave was very clean, there was no smell or dirt, and it was not dark, and there was a sparkling spar every other way. Although the light is not strong, it can illuminate the surrounding environment very clearly.
The diameter of this hole is about two meters, and it doesn't look small at all when I stand in it, even after Gaiji becomes the size of a black bear, he can move freely in it. Most of us were fine, but only two of us had to change to make it, and the black dragon Medea was able to enter by herself after sending Elena in. And the Seraphim Liroya is about three meters tall, and she can't come in, and she can only use spells to forcibly shrink her figure!
"This place is so small!" complained to Liroya, frustrated. It is very uncomfortable to forcibly reduce her size, and it has affected her combat effectiveness to some extent, at least by one percent!
"Hehe, it should be more spacious inside, let's go inside!" said Poor Dao with a smile as he walked deeper into the cave. Because the entrance of the cave is sloping downward, the ground in the cave is actually sloping as well, and we are going upwards.
After walking for about a few tens of meters, Poor Dao suddenly found that there was a small fork on the wall on one side of the hole, I hurriedly walked two steps over, looked inside, and found that this was actually the door of a room. Poor Dao then stood at the door and looked inside, and at the same time said to the person behind him: "There is a room here!"
"Where, I'll see!" the little girls said in unison. The tone was full of excitement, most of them were visiting the monument for the first time, and such a mysterious and exciting thing was something that everyone dreamed of doing!
There was a moment of confusion, and then it soon fell silent, with several heads sticking out of the doorframe to take in the depths.
This room is not small, about ten meters deep, about six meters wide, and three meters high, the door is open on the center line, there are ten bunk beds on the left and right, and two separate beds are arranged on the left and right of the door, and it is obviously where the commander lives, that is, it can live forty-two officers and soldiers.
There were still messy bedding on the bed, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry. There were still a lot of spare arrows piled up in the corners, but unfortunately the wooden shafts were now weathered, and only rusty arrows were scattered on the ground. There are two small boxes at the head of the bed, which seem to be places for personal belongings. It's a pity that the boxes are also made of wood, and most of them are falling apart now!
Seeing that I was blocking the doorway, Elena didn't seem to have the slightest intention of moving, and asked strangely, "Why don't you go in?"
"I don't want to eat a nose of ashes!" said Poor Dao with a wry smile!
