Before dawn, the rain fell first, and fell on the earth, rustling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the moon well is built, the bridge is there, the vines grow from both banks, meet and entangle over the river, extend down to find the underwater pillar base firmly entangled, after adjustment, petrification, this is a new bridge, even the hidden energy explosives have been buried, and it only takes a password to detonate.

The evil mages of the Black Blade Legion blasted a 5,000-square-meter empty field on the south bank of He, where Li Yun built a small pass, a military camp of 200 people, and set up a checkpoint post across the bridge.

In the face of the combat power of the Black Blade Legion, such protection is naturally meaningless, but its existence is not to resist the invasion of the army, but to declare its existence. Going deeper, it's about attracting attention. After all, Lanka, which stands near the intersection of the three roads, is really in a poor location as a manufacturing workshop area, and although it has been hard to plant trees since October, using the means of alternating virtual and real as a cover, it is still difficult to hide from the investigation of those who care.

At that time, Li Yun was thinking about whether to build a fake Lankan ruins to cover up.

Now, the sudden attack of the Black Blade has caused him to worry about the safety of the workshop area again, and finally decided to build a new Lanka. To this end, some old artifacts were specially collected from Mann Collar to meet the needs of the new Lanka to be fully distressed.

The site was located about two kilometers north-east of the original Lanka, with a population of less than 200 people, composed of men who had been convicted during the Great Purge of Mann, and experienced veteran Crusader veterans who controlled important facilities such as taverns, inns, blacksmiths, and other important facilities, as well as town affairs and defense. The work of the townspeople is mainly to manage the area, including planting trees and cultivating fields, to further mimic the original layout and environment of Lanka.

For this reason, the Horn River City side and the Lanka Workshop District have not contributed less.

At the end of December and the beginning of January of the 220th year of the Kingdom Calendar, he basically stayed here, mainly to deal with intelligence information in a timely manner, and to greet the industrial operations of Jiaohe City and Lanka Workshop District.

The Flying Shadow is already stretched, the coverage area has expanded to the limit, and the overall northward movement still seems to be a little weak. The latest information from the Black Blade often takes a day or more to arrive.

There were no empty horses, but a warning letter with the seal of Baron Mann was delivered in time to Count Heerens, delivered by Flying Shadow but presented by the Mann nobleman who was shopping for cattle there.

The Count of Hellens, who had sent horses and travel expenses to Li Yun because of his love for his daughter, still had the basic qualities of being a lord, and asked for help from the kingdom and the Holy See, sent air cavalry to investigate, and forcibly relocated the residents of Linshan City and several villages at the same time, and finally saved his people before the invasion of the Black Blade Legion.

The Black Blade Legion did not lose anything, marched all the way, summoned all the way, and finally took Linshan City lightly, turned its graveyard into black and turned into putre, and added more than 5,000 skeleton warriors, as well as more than 200 corpse witches, just because they did not catch the living, they could not be sacrificed, like skeleton cavalry, skeleton war horses, and such high-level immortals could not be obtained.

This time the Holy See army arrived relatively at the right time. In fact, they followed the march route of the Black Blade Legion, and on the fourth day after the Black Blade Legion left Ankram, the Holy See discovered the secret military passage where the main body of its use was located in the dark region, and the Black Blade Legion destroyed villages and towns along the road in order to keep secrets, and slaughtered them completely, but they were finally discovered by humans who traveled back and forth with villages and towns, which attracted attention.

While the Holy See sent people to block the military road, it also dispatched the Knights of the Dark Sword to pursue, and the Knights were about to enter the Sanzhi region, when they received the latest information from Shangfeng, and turned to Hellens and arrived in Linshan City one day later than the Black Blade Legion.

I have to say that the Black Blade Legion still has some luck, or rather, when the operation was carried out, the weather geography was calculated. After being pitted by Li Yun in the Spider Forest, for three days, it was always rainy and sunny, and the mud slowed down the marching speed of the Dark Sword Knights with baggage, but it made the Black Blade Legion without baggage very advantageous, with more than 10,000 immortal combat power to defend the city, and a powerful unit like the Mage Regiment, they were not afraid of the knights who were better at field warfare.

Siege of the city, the heavy cavalry of the Knights of the Dark Sword cannot give full play to their advantages, and the Holy See is not willing to let this battle-experienced combat force exchange expensive lives for the cheap undead soldiers of the Black Blade Legion. So they were stationed and waited for help.

On the contrary, the Black Blade Legion does not have the important combat power and mobile force of the Black Blade Knights, and it does not dare to enter the wilderness, which can be regarded as sitting in a troubled city.

The Darksword Knight did not wait for the Holy See or the kingdom's infantry to fight, but waited for the assistance of the court mages of the Kingdom of Netheril.

The southward march of the Black Blade Legion finally woke up the kingdom, and the great nobles felt the chill of destroying the country and destroying the clan. Neither Kaenke nor Hellens need to be a second Ankram, as long as the normal order of production is broken, Netherel will run out of food, and there is nothing more exciting than the word "food shortage" to the people of this era. The kingdom's war machine is in motion, exporting resources, and the court mage group, which has always been known for burning money and has been tired and lazy because of the poor economy over the years, finally cheered up, and the magic squadron set out from Ness, rode the Unaheim Wyvern, and used the elemental crystal fusion bomb to carry out an extremely terrifying destruction blow to Linshan City.

A large explosion comparable to a near-Earth nuclear explosion completely wiped Lin Shan City from this world, and the scorched crater with a diameter of 700 meters and a depth of more than 50 meters became a memorial of destruction.

Not only that, but the four major elements in the entire region were disordered and furious, becoming a forbidden area where spells could not be cast or even inhabited, and it would take at least a year or more to calm down.

This finally made the world understand, why the Holy See usually sees people as superior and powerful, but does not force the facts******** although the Kingdom of Netherel is no longer as powerful as the magic dynasty of the Brun Dynasty, but the tiger still exists, and the four major elemental collision energy fusion attacks such as the Convergence Bomb do not exist in this world. Because the world is made up of four basic elements.

The bombing of Linshan City was the first to be frightened by Servis, who finally realized that there was a difference between going to war with the kingdom and going to war with the royal family. Akkadian III led his troops to fight him, and also recruited court mages, but in the end this was a private matter of the royal family.

Of course, Akkad III also raised the banner of righteousness to save Kaktok, but in fact, the great nobles of the kingdom did not buy it.

The main reason is that the royal family split Kamaran was too ugly, and classified Rushing City as the Wasteland Plateau, and forcibly relocated the population. These have the inside story of the secret dealings between the Akkad III maternal line, the Clowell family, and the royal family. The benefits of the royal family and the Clowell family are divided, and now there is a mess but everyone is responsible for it, of course everyone will not do it.

Because of this, under the crow city, the two sides can come and fight lively, otherwise, hehe.

Realizing this, Servis shrank a little, he didn't want to wake up one day or be in his sleep, and be terminated by the fusion bomb. Although he had heard that the Black Blade Legion had not been shattered, there were still people who had escaped for their lives. But he didn't dare to gamble anymore, and began to secretly transport important materials through the dark region. In his years in Kamaran, what he is most proud of is not the layout of the surface, but the achievements of the dark region.

The one who didn't get killed in the Blade Legion was the old man who gave Hobson advice, the necromancer Dino Cabrini. He advised Hobson that it was better to stay in the mountains, not in the city. Located next to a wooded mountain, the old cemetery is located on the hill where Cabrini built the Dark Temple, which is used to strengthen the undead and also serve as a temporary magic laboratory.

The three systems of evil spells, especially the danger of destruction and tyranny, were rightly to stay away from ordinary facilities, but Hobson did not take Cabrini's advice and was adamant that he would stay with his army.

As a result, the Yunaheim Wyvern dropped a fusion bomb from a height of 10,000 meters, at such a height, not to mention the cloudy weather, even on a sunny day, it is difficult to find, even if it is found, there is no way, the mage's flying technique can't fly so high, and the species that can fly so high in this world can be counted on ten fingers. And once the fusion bomb is dropped, there is basically no hope.

Hobson and the Blackblade Legion were reduced to powder in a burst of incandescent light from the convergence of four colors of light, and the laboratory mage who witnessed the explosion forgot to even run. It was an instinctive fear of life, just as the shock of the human race on Earth when they witnessed the scene of a nuclear explosion.

But they survived and eventually followed Cabrini into the mountains.

This incident triggered a series of effects, the undead army that stormed Tianmen quickly retracted to Ankram, the terrain of Tianmen is narrow, and the undead army is densely crowded, if it is attacked, then there is no need to play anymore. On the other hand, Ankram has plague mists and acid rain clouds, making it difficult to detect the movements of the undead army, and has a large crypt deep underground, which can better cope with such extreme blows.

As a result, while the war will inevitably turn protracted, and the undead armies that have tasted the sweetness of marching through the shadowy regions will become more difficult, the situation is improving, at least on the surface.

In less than half a month, the Holy See assisted the Kingdom of Leipzig in recovering the Falcon Pass, and the Knights of Glory established a fortress on the main passage to the outside world south of Ankram. Arcade III took Crow City and recaptured Princess Margaret's body.

Mann Territory also received letters from the lords of Karnke, Hellens and other regions, praising him for his timely warning to Hellens and expressing his willingness to get closer.

Li Yun and Dinah both knew that these lords had never turned a blind eye and did not take the initiative to approach, mainly because of the Spider Forest's eye-catching performance and amazing results. Strength is always the first element to win respect and recognition.

It is precisely because of the drastic changes in the situation in various places recently that Li Yun is at the forefront, and the construction of the dungeon in Dayuandi is controlled by remote control.

Dead Maggot Fryer returned in a huff, saying that the three healers arranged by the Shadow Guild did not meet the needs, and the exploration operation had to be postponed again.

However, the battle of the Spider Forest has further reconciled the relationship between the two. From a certain point of view, Flair is right, both of them are the kind of people who can be very tolerant for the sake of strength, seek common ground while reserving differences, and can do things well instead of blindly taking advantage, such characteristics make the progress of the two in terms of technical exchanges relatively fast, during this time, based on the black corpse of the Black Blade Legion, the two jointly developed an undead creature, the wooden fetus is immortal.

The main highlight of this technology is to borrow dark plants, dark soil, and simulate the viviparous environment, and fine-tune the spirit flesh of the undead to make it have the active characteristics of dark creatures.

To put it bluntly, this technology has laid a solid foundation for the mass production of artificial dark creatures.

At present, there are still a large number of problems to overcome and solve, the cycle is long and the cost is high, but both of them are full of confidence in their future, the black corpse is just the existence of this technology, once the technology is mature, almost all immortals can be used.

For this technique, Fryer provided a recipe for the manufacture of special soil, while Li Yun came up with the technology of dark plants.

Both of them have ill intentions, and Flair has secretly added evil powers, and has embarked on the traditional path that most dark systems will take, evil is an extremely dangerous, but all-purpose additive, it can often comprehensively upgrade a dark technology, and it is impossible for Flair to resist this temptation.

Li Yun's private work is to integrate the power of the blood moon corresponding to the death cold into this technology, further increase its activity, and continue to strengthen the active characteristics of dark creatures, which finally makes the activity of the physical body break through the threshold and reach the standard of carrying healthy dark souls. In other words, it is an alternative and widely used dark resurrection technique, through which dark souls can continue to exist as long as they are not extinguished.

There is no doubt that this is a boon to all creatures of darkness, and of course there is still a long way to go to complete perfection.

In the end, the research and development of the technique exceeded the original intention of the research and development itself, but the creation still appeared, called the reincarnation corpse, and the spider outpost was stationed in the combat power of the rejuvenating corpse, half of the human model, half of the orc model, all of which were experimental observation objects. It also shows that the racial concepts and technologies of both sides are mainly aimed at the goal and direction.

Sir Linske, who traveled to Blue Night Castle with Mann's procurement team, was secretly frightened by the fact that this force was very different from ordinary troops.

As Hellens's emissary, Linske was tasked with observing and assessing the situation in Mann Territory.

Yesterday, they rested for the night in New Lanka, and the old knight, who had passed by Lanka more than once, failed to detect the displacement of New Lanka. This is actually normal in this era, people remember the approximate location, not the exact location, unless there are obvious relative coordinates nearby, such as a mountain, a river, or something.

The people of New Lanka did not hide the destruction of the old Lankan town, in fact, even they did not know that they lived in the same Lanka as before, and Linsk sighed for the old Lankans after learning about the situation at the tavern.

This morning, the team walked through the slope forest and saw the Xinqiao sentry post and the checkpoint barracks further north.

The building itself is nothing, sandstone is piled up, the scale is not large, similar military camps are very common in Netheril, please three or five mages, at most half a month, fossils can be built as mud. What made Linsk care was the soldiers guarding the place.

These soldiers are distinctively ethnically distinctive, but they share the same characteristics, they all wear bulky full-body rock armor, they are extremely powerful, and it is easy to mistake them for armored golems when they stand there, but when they move, they know that they are living creatures, and generally speaking, golems have mechanical stiffness when they move, and they are easily recognizable. These soldiers didn't, they were very lively, the heavy armor didn't seem to be anything to them, and they moved with ease.

The soldiers were armed with oversized rock warhammers with a surface that resembled half a table, and Linsk speculated that even ordinary knights would be smashed flat by a frontal hit by this hammer.

"Super hoplites!" he said in his heart. Taller than 2 meters tall, tall and muscular, with heavy rock armor, bows and arrows, and even ordinary spears are meaningless to them, these guys are an absolute nightmare for cavalry, and few infantry legions can resist their advance head-on.

The Mann nobleman, who accompanied Linsk, said, "These black armors are not humans, but dark creatures. Mann Territory doesn't yet have the ability to extend its tentacles to the Spider Forest, and the delivery of supplies alone can't afford it. Guarding the northern gates for Mann is a dungeon lord who is the de facto owner of the Spider Forest, and who played a huge role in the recent ambush of the Blackebon Legion. ”

"You're allied with the lords of the Dark Regions?"

"Yes, not only a dungeon lord, but also a dark mage. ”

Linsk was moved: "This is playing with fire!"

"Of course, the Manns don't mind forming an alliance with any being who reaches out to us in order to survive. We consider ourselves human beings, we insist on independence, these are our two basic points, and other than that, everything can be discussed. ”

"But the cession of the Spider Forest is tantamount to betraying the interests of mankind and the kingdom. ”

"Legally, the Spider Forest belongs to Viscount Kamaran and not to Mann, and we eagerly await the return of the Viscount with his army to govern his realm. We had a pact with the Dungeon Lord that if the Kingdom or the Viscount's army vowed to take back the Spider Forest, Mann would not intervene to assist him. From a practical point of view, the Spider Forest has been transformed into a blackened one, and here, the lord's power has a strong home advantage, and it is impossible for us to devote our precious and limited military strength to the operation to seize such a forest for the sake of vanity. ”

As they spoke, the team crossed the bridge, and Linsk saw something about the barracks at the checkpoint, as if there were humans acting as commanders and instructors for these big guys. So he asked the nobleman of Mann.

"The retired crusaders are responsible for teaching these black armors, mainly in terms of military discipline. ”

"A disciplined army of darkness, this is a worrying situation. Linsk couldn't help but sigh.

"Human beings survive in this world, step by step, and instead of worrying about the problems that may occur in the future, it is better to do a good job in the present. At least we Manns are doing a good job. The same calculations by the darkness, the same isolation, Kaktok completely fell, and we Mann survived. We are rebuilding our homes, and we are not losing them. We have not disgraced humanity and the kingdom. ”

Linsk was a little embarrassed. Indeed, if this is compared, the Kaktok and the Ankram are absolutely self-conscious.

It was only after entering the Spider Forest that Linsk really realized how blackened this forest was. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been distorted. Looking down from above, or from a distance, the emerald green and dark green complement each other, which is completely the normal winter forest scene of Kamalan.

Noble Mann continued, "We wouldn't have been able to repair this forest road. The Black Blade Legion was about to pass through and carried out an emergency expansion, and these jagged stone slabs were all paved by them, as well as the canopy dome, which was originally covered with cobwebs, and they were all cleared. The Manns are grateful to them for that. ”

"So you went out of your way to bury them. ”

"Yes, they should be happy to enjoy the safety of death. ”

What shocked Linsk the most was naturally the fortress-style village he saw along the way after passing through the Gray Leaf Forest. He also stayed overnight in the gravel farm in his territory, and felt the fort strong, believing that such a fortress village could be used as a small fortress, stationed 700 people, and unless a spell regiment was used, it would be difficult for 10,000 people to attack. He heard from the nobles of Mann that all the villages in Mann Territory were currently in this pattern, which made him can't help but be fascinated, and felt that this Luna Cult was too powerful. Even for the more affluent barons in the interior, it is worth mentioning that such a castle can be passed on to their descendants, but it is an exaggeration that it has become popular among the whole people in Mann.

When Linsk met with Dinah and traveled around Mann, Li Yun was coming to the end of digesting the legacy of the Black Blade.

The officers and soldiers of the Black Blade Legion trapped in the blood sac cannot be directly used. Whether it is a skeleton soldier or a corpse witch, the little will that remains has been corrupted by evil energy, once such an existence loses its restraint, it will become a destroyer who slaughters living things when it sees them, and it is extremely expensive to wash away the mark of its Black Blade Legion, Li Yun finally simply let them all return to the furnace, and then make a profit from the collection of materials.

The first point of profit is naturally corpses, blackened bones and flesh are all usable materials, and evil souls can be turned into pure power through the soul furnace to nourish the kingdom of God or feed back to the world. He chose the latter. Asking for and giving to nature is good for the world, and it is good for him.

The second point of profit is the equipment of the Black Blade. Despite its crudeness, the Blackblade Legion achieved the metalization of the entire army, armor and weapons, and at worst cast iron, and they generally used a smelting and forging technique derived from the gray dwarves and the black elves, and with the perfect capture of his baggage regiment, this technology also fell into his pocket, and this technology was finally integrated into the eclipse system, giving birth to the later more famous moon steel,

The third point of profit is the Bone Warhorse, which he did not have the manufacturing technology of this undead mount, but most of the mounts of the Knights of the Black Blade were captured by him, and the huge number was enough for the Moon Shadow War Regiment and the Crusaders to be upgraded to cavalry together.

Of course, cavalry is not equal to man and mount, neither the Crusaders nor the Moon Shadow have the resources to bear the consumption of cavalry. So these skeletal horses were temporarily herded into the lunar eclipse wilderness. He intends to apply the Wooden Fetal Immortal Technique to the Bone Warhorse, hoping to cultivate excellent Dark Mounts.

The final point of profit was the baggage of the Blackebon Legion, along with the dead plant altars that had been raised from all over Mann Territory two months earlier, all of which he had thrown into the Abyss. This made it a place with an unusual concentration of magical materials, laying the foundation for its future fame. Later generations know that the Temple of the Abyss is a magical city, known as the Gate of the Realm, but few people know that it was built under the passive sponsorship of Servis and the Black Blade Legion.

The Temple of the Abyss is also famous because of a special metal, magic iron. This metal is produced in the Dayuandi mixed mine, which is considered to be very scum, and although the entire deposit has been mined, the magic iron produced is only the size of an adult's fist, but it is still the most abundant deposit of magic iron known in the whole world, and the rarity of this thing can be imagined. It is precisely because of this magic iron, known as the Heart of the Abyss, that the Temple of the Abyss has a core and has become a true magic city.

As for now, everything has just begun, and the captured Black Blade Artisans are like prisoners serving prison sentences, toiling day and night. In fact, most of them worked directly to death and did not live a good life, but they won a good future for their offspring, and it is not a great loss. Especially when compared to other legions under the command of the Shadow Council.

The Council of Shadows has always been committed to becoming an organization like the Holy See. Or it should be said the other way around, it is because of the Shadow Council that mankind acquiesced in the emergence and growth of the Holy See of Light against it, and the Holy See of Light came to the top and became a behemoth, but the Shadow Council has gone through ups and downs several times, and has never been able to truly rule the world, even if it is proud for a while, it is quickly lonely and has to go underground again.

This generation of Shadow Council learned from the lessons of its predecessors and worked hard to seek progress and development in non-war fields such as organization and personnel construction, and it took thirty years of development in the dark region to break through the ground and create the Great Plague of Ankram as soon as it came out. Li Yun only knew that Pakanfin was the leader of the Black Flame Alliance, but he didn't know that he was the candidate for the Shadow Council to come to the forefront, so the decapitation tactic did not let Ankram's undead army collapse, on the contrary, eliminated the ambitious Pakanfin and several important high-ranking members of the Black Flame Alliance, and the Shadow Council quickly controlled the undead army and the remnants of the Black Flame Alliance.

The operation of attacking the Heavenly Gate, as well as the operation of the Black Blade to the south, is not only a real expansion action, but also an act of clearing dissidents, the Shadow Council is constantly digesting the undead army, in the dark region under Ankram, the magma furnace, the dark temple is working day and night, the powerful productive forces are arming the grassroots immortal, and in the evil energy arena, fighting alone, Team battles are refining the dark commanders' individual and group combat capabilities, and the Shadow Council has even opened a military academy, under the harsh military orders of death or death, the dark commanders are receiving professional education and repeated brainwashing in the system...... The whole dark forces are transforming, and when they exert their strength again, they vow to take this world.

And the Holy See and the kingdom, what they see is only the surface, the undead army has improved compared with the past, but it is still half-toned, whether it is equipment or command, tactics or strategy, there are bright spots, but it is not enough to shake the hegemony of mankind.

However, there is no shortage of people of insight in the Holy See, who advised Pope Boniface II that since there is a Knights of the Dark Sword, why can't a dark legion be formed? After so many years of fighting against the forces of darkness, is there any other group in the human race that understands darkness better than the Holy See of Light? Even the Dark Knight, a high-level user of dark power, can be restrained, and low-level immortality is not a problem at all.

Boniface still threw out the old question: Can humans emotionally accept such a thing?

The reason given below is "First of all, we are only responsible to the people, and after the death of the congregation, the soul returns to the Holy Light and the body is used, which can be said to be in the past. Secondly, in extraordinary times, falling into the hands of evil forces, it will become a tool of killing, and in our hands, it is a protector of health, which can be regarded as a form of ancestral protection. Third, people pay attention to the superficial, and as long as we put a certain amount of investment in our appearance, we can still believe that we are in response to the call of the Light. ”

Boniface did not let go at that time, but asked people to prepare, and he wanted to see the actual effect.

Eventually, the Papal seekers designed the Black Guards, which started extremely high, almost the same level as the Bone Warriors, and these immortals, including their faces, were wrapped in armor, and it was difficult to see the difference between them and ordinary sergeants, especially the gray linen robes and cloaks designed specifically for them, which made them look similar at first glance to the soldiers of several standing legions of the Holy See.

After calculating the cost, the Darksword Legion was formed, and the Darksaber Knights were incorporated into it, and at this point, a complete Dark Legion affiliated with the Holy See was born, and in this world, the definition of light and darkness was once again a little chaotic.

Coincidentally, Li Yun was setting out to form the Holy Light Guard. As a user of dark powers, he is sensitive to the Light and those with associated potential, and he has found such presence in his own forces, including crusaders, werewolves, civilians, and even captives of the Ebon Legion. He gathered them together and looked like a random rabble, but under the Light-invocation ceremony, they all burst into tears as they found their way in life.

Taking advantage of the years of accumulation of the altars of dead plants arranged by Uther in various places, Li Yun completed the baptism of the Holy Light for these people, and established a stronghold for them in the tomb, which was later the Holy Light Chapel, and this organization of more than 30 people was the predecessor of the Holy Church that later resounded throughout the entire Salano continent, united all intelligent races, and defended the world. Since none of these founders were knights, their professional title was samurai, and even when knights were later available, they continued to use the old title of Templar.

The Chapel of Light became a military stronghold, perfecting its own system and system in the form of an academy, with the intervention of the Crusaders, Werewolves, and the Moon Shadow Corps, which took a year to replace the Mann Leader Crusader Teaching Team, and three years later began friendly technical exchanges with other border troops, and twelve years later became the second only military professional educational institution after the Knights of the Kingdom of Netherre, and now, they are nothing more than a military test team supported by Hornriver City.

Li Yun did not put pressure on this test team, but explained the appearance of light from the perspective of standing in hell and looking up to heaven. There is no doubt that the system of light he depicts is flashy compared to the system of light of the Holy See, but it definitely captures the core of the system. It can be said that as deep as he understands the darkness, he understands the light as deeply, so the core idea of this organization, although somewhat untrue, is definitely on the most authentic path. This is a high-quality seed of holy light, which has achieved almost the greatest degree of ignorance of racial and emotional influences, and has become a just foundation for teaching in the future.

After taking the city of Crow, Akkadian III did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but declared that the evil forces had been defeated and that there was nothing left to fear.

Of course, this is a lie, and those in the know know that it is not so much that Wang **** captured Crow City, but that Servis gave up Crow City. The crow city, the cemetery, and the surrounding villages are all empty, and there is not even a mouse in the warehouse, and the king **** occupies an empty city at all.

However, Arcade III had his own plans. This incident made him see the faces of the great nobles and his popularity clearly.

He did not lower his stature to curry favor with these great nobles, but used the merits of this operation to purge and promote a group of nobles, and firmly controlled Nesmai and the surrounding area in his own hands.

Immediately afterward, he made a high-profile announcement of his engagement to his cousin, Sunny Crowell of the Clovwell family.

Originally, his fiancée was the daughter of the Barnes family in the Arahai Plateau, a measure taken by his father, Frete V, to balance local power.

And now, Akkad III's actions are tantamount to slapping the Barnes family in the face and supporting the Clovers to continue to grow.

The Clowwell family rose from an ordinary frontier aristocracy to a powerful power during the reign of Fret IV. And in the later years of the fourth, he completed the ambition of looking west of the Rushing City to the Barren Sea Plateau.

Riverrun City was originally part of Kamaran, but it was later assigned to the Wasteland Plateau, and the Clowell family swallowed more than 100 square kilometers of land on the Wasteland Plateau in one fell swoop.

In order to curb the Clowell family from growing big with the power of the royal family, and also to appease the great nobles of the Arahai Plateau, the fifth made a political marriage with the Barnes family, and at the same time gave some support, so there were later twin stars of Twin Cities and Riverrun City.

However, in a recent series of events, Akkad III blames the Barnes family for supporting the Codex Legion, even though it retreated to Ironbridge Fort, the griffon supply team continued to resupply, but refused to send him a letter in time to explain the situation. He had no sense of presence at all in dealing with Mann Leader, and he didn't know what was going on there until the dust settled on Mann Leader. This is one of them.

Second, he sent his army from the city of the Twin Rivers to attack Kaktok from the rear. The Banes family pushed back and forth, causing the army to cross the river slowly, and was informed by Cerves, the army failed to achieve the original intention of the raid, but met with the reorganized Rich Colored Legion, so that it failed to open the situation, not only the war was delayed, the army was lost, but also had to spend a lot of money, owed favors, asked the court mage to help, and the overall cost increased greatly.

Thirdly, his army flanked the evil legions in Kaktok, and the Twin River City did not give enough support, but instead notified and received the Canon Legion in time, so that the Canon Legion took advantage of the fierce battle between Wang **** and the Colorful Legion to safely withdraw from the Kamaran area from Elon Avenue to the west.

On the other hand, Clowell, whose mother's family is in Riverrun, is interesting enough this time, and he pays for it, and he has nothing to say. He asked the court mage to help, and sixty percent of the cost was paid by his grandfather.

Akkad III thought to himself: "Big things see people's hearts, even if the Clowell family has selfish intentions in it, but people support me at a critical moment." Things are beautifully done. So, what if the Clovair family becomes the Grand Duke of the Duchy of the Wild Sea? The Barnes family likes to hug the thigh of the Holy See and will not give me the slightest face as a king, so get out of my kingdom!"

So he married his cousin, gave back to the Banes family with a loud slap, and counted the crimes of the Banes family in this military operation, saying that they lacked the ability to control the territory and the overall situation, and indirectly murdered the lives of many kingdom officers and soldiers, and caused the kingdom to suffer economic losses, and the royal family is ashamed to have such a partner!

This accusation is really too severe, the Banes family is naturally furious, but they found that Arcade III really suffered heavy losses this time, and their eyes were red, if they dared to go against the wind at this time, with the temperament of Arcade III, they would dare to hang a righteous army to send Twin River City, and once this happened, the Clowell family of Rushing City, who had already sharpened their knives, would definitely attack with all their might, and the Banes family was in danger of extinction.

The Banes family endured this breath, waiting for Akkad III to have nowhere to vent his evil fire, and to blow themselves up.

The great nobles of the kingdom secretly calculated an account for Akkad III, which was definitely a military operation that lost a lot of money, not to mention military expenses, just the pension after returning could make the royal family anxious. Some people even say that after this time, it will be difficult for the royal family to launch a military operation of this scale again. So Akkad is now in a belly of evil, like a boss who deals with a bad deal to find fault with his employees, not suitable for hard topping, nor suitable for reasoning.

Akkad III did lose miserably, he lost a lot of money, and he didn't earn face, and no one in the kingdom now knew that Princess Margaret had been repeatedly desecrated? And the palace mage's fusion bomb quickly and timely fell in Linshan City instead of Crow City, which also made him a laughing stock, it turned out that the Wang family had something to do, and the king needed to save the scene in person, and the earldom was in trouble, and the court mage quickly solved the problem with a fusion bomb. Who feeds this court mage, and whose court is it?

In such a situation, it was really pointless for him to occupy Crow City, and Servis did not leave him a single bone, and the people of Kaktok were either killed at the hands of Servais or all were coerced. He knew that it was in the dark area under his feet, but he was powerless to pursue it deeply. And as long as his army walked on the front foot, Servis was still the master of the land.

He had to lower his profile and ask his staff for advice.

The staff's idea is still the same as it was at the beginning: "Offer a heavy reward, ask the hero to help, spy on intelligence, and buy Servis's head at a high price." ”

Speaking of heroes, Akkadian III thought of the Dark Magus Kozananza, and the master behind Lana Anwinska, the Dark Beast, Duelosar Silverlight. These are some of the most famous figures in recent years. He really needs a hero like that, but it's hard to come by.

"Contact the Night's Watch Gona Sorenz. Tell her that if Servis is done, I will recognize the legitimacy of the Night's Watch, and they can operate openly in the kingdom of Netheril. ”

Akkadian III thought of Mann Territory again, and he only paid attention to this frontier nobleman when he learned that the Manns had fought the Legion of the Black Blade. He also sighed for this: "A 10-year-old little lord knows how to inspect his territory at the first time, and I, the king, still don't know what my territory looks like, and many of my direct subordinates have not seen me, which is my negligence." ”

This battle made Akkad III grow up, he realized the embarrassment of poverty, he was ready to put his internal affairs in order, he did not believe that as the largest landowner in the whole kingdom, he would be compared to the local nobles.

Akkadian III handed over the mess of the aftermath of the battle to his ministers, and then traveled lightly to inspect the territory, he was now in dire need of a spout of contradictions, and the Barnes family endured it, so he took some people in the territory, and he had to tell the people why the days had become miserable after all these years of good weather and hard work, because of these nobles who no longer had the ability to be qualified leaders, and the invasion of external evil forces. He even hoped to meet some blind assassin on his way, he was a disciple of Polysich, the Knight of the Light, he was a good swordsman, he needed to pull out a list of people, and if they didn't, the people would take their anger out on him, the king, he knew that.

When Akkad III raised the butcher's knife little by little, Li Yun began his first exploration of the Lonely Mountain Dungeon.

In fact, this place has been explored more than once, and it even became a combat training ground for a time, where Crusaders, werewolves, and the Moon Shadow Warband have all fought. The goblins and the like that inhabit here are unbearable and have dispersed. Therefore, most of the area of the dungeon is completely quiet, used to pay tribute to the glory of the dwarf man-made objects of the past.

Li Yun didn't spend too much time on this, and walked through it in a quick way, so that he knew what to do.

He walked along the winding path into the depths of the dungeon. This area is as different from the edge as the room is compared to the wilderness. It was the main workplace of the dwarves, and it was chaotic and unorderly, but some important stone pillars and beams were already being carved, and some of the manifestations and characteristics of the grand blueprint could be seen from the traces of scales and claws.

After some observation, he left directly. Although the entrance and exit to the deeper and darker realms are in this area. But he didn't care about that. An entrance is not enough to convince the mountain dwarves to abandon the dungeon where they have lived and worked for generations.

There is a theory that the dwarves abandoned their homes because of the fact that the earth was cracked and the water of the rushing river poured in.

But if you look closely, you will find that this argument is also untenable. Cracks are not a difficult problem to solve, they can be plugged by pouring boulders into the river, then supplemented by smaller stones, and finally sediment, and when the water is drained in the cave, it can be corrected from the inside. Dwarves have opened up their homes in the underground world, and they encounter many terrain problems, such as infiltration, underground rivers, magma, wind tunnels, etc., all of which have a complete set of technologies to solve. Besides, the main body of the completed dungeon is in the belly of the mountain, above the water level of the rushing river, and the water does not reach the main body anyway.

Looking for the so-called traces of ground fissures, he finally found a blocked passage, very tight, full of mud and sand, and rough engineering, not like the handiwork of dwarves, like secondary intelligent creatures.

He took a closer look at it, and then formed a magic sandbox.

According to legend, Gushan is a beautiful mountain, and its surface part is only the tip of the iceberg as a whole, and it is already a behemoth more than 600 meters above the land.

Combined with his observations and existing intelligence data, it was drawn into a magic sand table, and it can be seen that the lonely mountain is indeed a huge rock as the rumors say, and the same path leading to the dark region is just a flawed crack in this big rock. The blocked road here was dug into the rock, which means that the mountain dwarves had planned to open this road in the first place. Roughly used as a back door, it crossed the river under the rushing river, and then it was no longer a lonely mountain, but another huge rock plate, and the ground was a spider forest, a low mountain that was not outstanding, and was covered with trees.

The entire dungeon was very intact, and considering that it was going to be used as a refuge in Kabel City, Li Yun decided to find out the reason early on.

Instinctively, he hooked the expedition that Fryer had told him about, and it was all underneath, not too far away, and he thought that perhaps it was what Fryer had discovered that caused the mountain dwarves to flee.

"Cleanup!"

As soon as he gave the order, a large number of black armor began to work hard, these immortals have no rock armor, that is Fryer's technology, he will not and is not interested, if necessary, he will use the eclipse moon system to arm these black armor, because of the developed muscles, the black armor has a lot of strength, relying on simple tools, even bare hands, can do a lot of earthwork digging and carrying work.

Colleagues gradually cleared up. After a few tens of meters, he did the math and found that he had crossed the rushing river. The theory that the river was filled with water from the cracked earth was completely shattered. The same way is quite complete, and after washing, you can even see the rock murals.

Soon after crossing the river, I saw a crack, and the connection between the rock disks was very good, but the difference could still be seen.

The rock plate adjacent to Gushan is obviously more flexible in texture and is also bluestone, but slightly darker in color.

Digging forward, the temperature rises suddenly, and the soil and rock have a noticeable scorching effect.

Li Yun was surprised, thinking, could it be that he encountered a lava crack?

It turned out that this was indeed the case, when the last layer of obstacles was removed, what appeared in front of him was a huge ground crack, more than 30 meters wide and at least hundreds of meters long, and clear traces of the passage could still be seen on the opposite side, and below, the depth was about a kilometer, and the orange-red magma river was a line, and the hot gas containing the smell of sulfur was constantly rising and gushing, and the smoked people were dizzy. This kind of heat is naturally poisonous, and ordinary people will have problems every minute.

Li Yun ignored the crack, but walked back, and after about ten meters, he took out the bone stakes that had been prepared early in the morning from the black skull, like a knife in the mud, and pressed the grace into the wall, a total of six.

A magical light curtain was generated, cutting off the passage from the ground rift. He smelled the evil breath in the heat wave and isolated it, mainly because he didn't want the cold air in the dungeon to pour under the earth crack and attract the attention of some evil beings.

"I didn't expect that there was a shaft leading to the lava abyss here, and the mountain dwarves back then were probably harassed by the creatures killed by the abyss, so they chose to migrate. He thought so, leaving the passage and going back the way he came. Even if he had the heart to explore the lava abyss, he would need a lot of preparation, and if he went down rashly, it would be death.

As soon as he left the dungeon, he received a message from the Flying Shadow, and the Chroma Legion moved in Mann's direction. (To be continued.) )
