Chapter 16: The Monster's Counterattack
In the main hall of hospitality in Moxi City, Su Mu and Qiu Yan sat together, opposite to Tianliu and another Dharma King, Tian Chen, Tian Chen's face was pale, and the bandages on his chest stained red with blood showed that his injuries were not optimistic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Dare to ask the Light Envoy, have you invited reinforcements?" Tianliu looked at Qiu Yan and asked anxiously.
"You can report on the battle situation first, before I and the Night Envoy have cleaned up a large number of demonic beasts, how long did it take for the new batch of demonic beasts to be integrated?" asked Qiu Yan.
"It only took two hours to return to the Lord of Light. ”
"So fast?" Qiu Yan was a little surprised.
Tianliu's expression was serious, he nodded, and said: "The attack of the Warcraft this time seems to have been premeditated, the battle appearance is neat, the discipline is strict, the attack is endless, and it is full of layers, it is not an ordinary Warcraft army. ”
"I want to hear a detailed battle report. Qiu Yan frowned, her serious appearance did not look like a fourteen-year-old girl, but like a battle-hardened general.
At this time, Tianchen on the side stood up and spread a map of the surrounding areas of Moxi City on the table, because the surrounding desert is single, the terrain is single, and many regions are divided into many regions with a grid on the map, and each area is marked with numbers, which is clear and clear.
"Lord Envoy, please see, seven days ago, a 30,000-strong Warcraft Legion attacked from the west, marching extremely fast and with a clear purpose, heading straight for my Moxi City.
The sentinels placed around our city discovered the demon army in advance, and when I learned the route of the demon army's march, I led my troops out of the city and laid a trap five miles west of the city, and I personally led 10,000 soldiers to ambush in the underground passage outside the city.
Unbeknownst to the demon army, they rushed into the trap and triggered the quicksand array, killing a large number of demonic beasts under the yellow sand. After the trap was triggered, I led the warriors out from the rear of the demon army, releasing a wall of fire and cutting off their retreat.
Seeing the fire outside the city, Tianliu led the soldiers to kill from the city, and the coverage area of our city's defensive weapons was exactly five miles away, so he attacked the demon army on three sides, and the demon army collapsed in an instant.
In the panic, I found the leader of the Demon Beast who tried to escape, so I chased and killed it, and when it saw me, it stopped running away, and turned around to fight with me, and I knew that the werewolf in front of me was a demon king.
I'm ashamed to say that this werewolf's mana is above me, and I can barely repel it with the support of many mages around me, and the werewolf is seriously injured and escapes, and my chest is pierced by its claws, and I am powerless to chase after it.
Fortunately, the demons under their command have experienced a hundred battles, and they fought tenaciously and cooperated with Tianliu to kill all 30,000 demon troops. I was also sent back to the city for healing, and my life was spared. ”
Qiu Yan interrupted Tian Chen and asked, "What is the specific mana of the werewolf?"
Tian Chen replied: "At least the sixth order of the Demon King, but the right arm has been scorched, the abdomen has been pierced by my magic spear, and the demon heart has been damaged, so it will definitely not be able to fight in a short time." ”
Qiu Yan nodded and said, "Go on." ”
"After the annihilation of the werewolf army, we thought the battle was over, however, he was only the vanguard of the Warcraft Legion.
A day later, a large number of demonic beasts invaded the territory and surrounded Moxi City. The demon army is endless, countless, and the battle is neat. The destruction of the werewolf army seems to have served as a deterrent, and the demon army did not attack aggressively, but sent small forces to constantly probe.
Through our observations, we found that the attacks of each force were extremely organized and methodical, not at all like the usual Warcraft Legions. They are clearly divided, one demon master leads tens of thousands of demon beasts, and one demon king leads more than 20 demon masters, so according to the judgment, we basically conclude that there are five demon kings and more than 100 demon masters in this attack.
In addition to the clear preparation, this time the Warcraft Invasion Realm is extremely strategic, they attack the time and space with the cover of sand eagles, the underground has sand worms harassment, and the most important land attack also uses wheel warfare, constantly consuming the magic enchantment of our city. Within the barrier, our army can carry out spell attacks from the outside, and the enemy magic cannot cross the barrier, so we can always hold on, if the barrier is breached, there will be no barrier in Moxi City.
And such a fierce attack is just a temptation, after the defeat of the werewolf, there is no other demon king to really lead the army to attack the city, but in the west of the city ten miles away to build a tower, it took three days, the tower height is twice the highest observatory in our city, straight to the sky. The demon king is on the tower, and you can clearly observe the deployment of military forces in our city. ”
Hearing Tian Chen's description, Qiu Yan opened her mouth in surprise, such a war technique can only be seen in the bloody battle of the human army, this group of demonic beasts has such a high war literacy, it is unbelievable.
Seeing Qiu Yan's surprised expression, Tian Chen said solemnly: "Lord Envoy may be surprised, in fact, the last general is also surprised, since the last general was born in Moxi City, he has seen hundreds of battles between humans and demons, and he has never seen such a powerful demon army.
Although we have been creating illusions and confusing the demon army, after six days of exploration, they have completely mastered our details. Last night's attack, if it was not as I expected, should be the last wave of temptation, if the envoy did not come, now Moxi City has fallen into a sea of blood. ”
Qiu Yan frowned and asked, "You mean that my arrival has slowed down the pace of the demon army's attack?"
"That's right, my lord, your divine power yesterday has given the demon army a deterrent, if there are really war masters in the demon army, they will inevitably need time to think and think when they see powerful reinforcements, so as to formulate a new battle strategy. ”
"Then how long do you think they will think?" Qiu Yan raised her eyes to look at Tian Chen.
"Returning to my lord, the last general is foolish, the time will not be too long, if there is only one adult in the current reinforcements, then the demon army will definitely step up the attack after the reaction, to avoid the arrival of a large number of reinforcements in the future. ”
"Won't it be too long? How long?"
"Even today, there will be a bloody battle. Tian Chen's voice was low, and the three people who heard the analysis all fell silent.
After a while, Su Mu broke the silence, and he said lightly: "If you follow the practice of the Black Demon City, you will definitely send mercenaries to infiltrate the rear of the enemy army at this moment, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate or sabotage." ”
"Oh, what do you think, tell me about it. Qiu Yan looked at Su Mu and seemed to feel that this waste suddenly had some effect.
"First send scouts to infiltrate to obtain the strategic intelligence and army deployment of the demon army, and then specify a plan according to the specific situation, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the key link of the demon army's troops. ”
"Can you finish it?" Qiu Yan looked at Su Mu suspiciously.
"I can only investigate," Su Mu said seriously, "Assassination and destruction require a person with strong mana." ”
While the four of them were racking their brains to analyze the battle situation, there was a sudden commotion outside the main hall.
"What's going on?" Tenru stood up vigilantly.
"Go out and have a look. Qiu Yan frowned, walked out of the main hall, and Su Mu immediately followed.
The four of them went out of the main hall, quickly climbed the city wall, found that the attack of the demon army had stopped, retreated to five miles away, in the sky between the demon army and Moxi City, there was a giant bird circling, it was white, the phoenix tail dragged behind it, there was a mane on the neck, and the light feathers were like silk.
The giant bird saw the four of them go up to the city wall, and suddenly stretched out their wings, the wings were strong and powerful, and the wind blew in his face, raising Qiu Yan's untied hair.
"This king is the sixth-order demon king Bai Yu, listen to the humans in the city, put away the magic circle, open the city gate, this king will never slaughter the city. The giant bird shouted at Qiu Yan, and its voice was as clear as a bell, resounding in the sky.
Su Mu opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, "This big bird can talk?"
Qiu Yan glanced at Su Mu and said, "Rare and strange!" After speaking, he spread out his palm, Tianliu immediately understood what Qiu Yan meant, and hurriedly took the sound transmission horn from the side and respectfully handed it to Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan put the transmission horn to her mouth and said lightly: "Bird, you a sixth-order demon king dares to come out and shout, aren't you afraid that this girl will pluck out your white hair to make pajamas?"
Su Mu on the side suddenly laughed, he patted Qiu Yan's shoulder, and whispered: "You use feathers to make pajamas, aren't you afraid of stabbing people?"
Qiu Yan didn't hesitate and kicked Su Mu out.
The white feather in the air was suddenly furious, it shook its wings violently, and roared at Qiu Yan: "Ignorant human beings, they are rude to this king! Do you dare to go out of the city to fight this king? See if this king doesn't pull out your hair to make a robe!"
Qiu Yan put down the transmission horn, looked at Tianliu, and said in a low voice: "There are five enemy demon kings, one has been seriously injured, I will take this opportunity to kill this white bird, there are still three left, and the battle situation will ease a lot." ”
"Don't, don't, beware of deception!" Tenyu hurriedly stopped.
"I have captured the sixth-order demon king, but I am afraid that when I am entangled with it, the demon army will wait for the opportunity to attack the city and break through the magic barrier. Qiu Yan said.
"Don't be impulsive, you are in the enchantment, the enemy demon king is helpless against you, if the enemy army attacks the city, your lord's spell is our greatest hope to keep the enchantment!" Tian Chen also began to dissuade.
"Then if the four demon kings attack at the same time, the barrier will collapse in an instant, and the city will not be able to keep it anyway. The battle of the royal level must be fought outside the city. Qiu Yan said seriously.
When everyone was at a loss, Su Mu got up from the corner of the wall with his waist up, and this kick was really hard enough.
Qiu Yan turned her head to look at Su Mu, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed her, she walked over and touched Su Mu's long hair.
"Damn, what are you doing?" Su Mu vigilantly dodged.
"Mercenary, can you sneak into the back of the demon army?" Qiu Yan looked expectant.
Su Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Can it be can, what's the use?"
"As long as you can sabotage the delay in the rear of the demon army and give me time to kill the white bird, you will be meritorious. ”
"How do you delay?"
"That's your problem, you've been doing this for many years, and you still need me to teach you? I need you to buy time, until I kill Shiratori, the other demon kings won't wait for the opportunity to attack the city. ”
"My lord, you think too much, right? I'm a sixth-order magician, how can I hold back three demon kings?"
Qiu Yan looked at Su Mu solemnly and said coldly, "Then can you go?"
"If I can go, I can go, but I don't want to die for the sake of Worship Blood City, let alone for you. Su Mu replied very firmly, on such a life-and-death issue, he had to dissociate himself from Worship Blood City.
"I see, I misread you. Qiu Yan turned around coldly.
"You did misread me. Su Mu nodded.
"The moon crown has mistaken you. ”
Su Mu was suddenly furious, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiu Yan, and said loudly: "If you use me as a mercenary, I will have the right to choose tasks! Don't use this kind of words to provoke me!"
The monks of Moxi City on the city wall were silent in this tense atmosphere, and their eyes as they watched Su Mu gradually change from expectation to loss.
"Well, while the demonic beast hasn't attacked yet, you get out of here, don't die here. Qiu Yan waved her hand disdainfully.
"Don't leave it at that, don't send it. Su Mu stretched out the wind wings.
"Lord Night Envoy!" Tianliu suddenly called out to Su Mu and said in a mournful voice, "Please look at the 200,000 people in this Moxi City!"
Su Mu felt his qi and blood surge, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "My life belongs to Lingfeng City, not to Blood Worship City, there are many killings in the world, I am a murderer, not a rescuer." ”
Qiu Yan suddenly pulled down her earrings from her ears, stabbed into Su Mu's earlobes hard, and said coldly: "Get out of here with it, this thing can save your life, you remember, it will be a shame for you for life." ”
Outside the city wall, Bai Yu was still shouting loudly, and Qiu Yan jumped up and rushed over.
Su Mu felt the stinging pain in his ears, and without saying a word, he shook his wind wings indifferently, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the blood mist in an instant.
Qiu Yan jumped off the city wall, causing many mages beside her to exclaim in unison. Tenru was also shocked, this light envoy was not able to control the wind like the night angel, and it would be very lucky to fall from such a high wall. But Qiu Yan's performance immediately made them understand that their worries were unnecessary.
At the moment when Qiu Yan jumped down, the yellow sand outside the city suddenly rose into the sky, condensing into a bridge and building at Qiu Yan's feet. Qiu Yan landed steadily on the sand bridge, and as the sand bridge slowly settled, she stopped under Bai Yu.
"The human girl doesn't know whether she lives or dies, does she really dare to challenge this king?" Bai Yu descended from the sky, and the wind brought up by her huge wings made the yellow sand roll around. Qiu Yan was under Bai Yu, as small as a speck of dust.
"Give me less bluffing. Qiu Yan beckoned, and the giant sword condensed from the yellow sand broke through the ground, piercing Bai Yu's left wing at once. Bai Yu's huge body trembled, became illusory, and then slowly disappeared, and finally, only a half-meter-long white bird remained in the air.
"It turned out to be an illusion! The Light Envoy is really discerning!" Tenru in the castle exclaimed.
Bai Yu was recognized as his true body, so he descended from the sky, stopped leisurely in front of Qiu Yan, and said with a smile: "Good girl, there are some means." ”
Qiu Yan didn't talk nonsense with it, she pinched the magic trick with both hands, and suddenly yellow sand rose behind her, and the ten-meter-high sand wave surged out, fiercely rushing towards Bai Yu. The white feather flicked his wings and soared into the air, trying to cross the sand waves. Qiu Yan quickly changed the technique, and the sand waves chased the white feather straight into the sky. Bai Yu was churning in the air, lightly dodging the sand waves, but Qiu Yan did not agree, she changed her trick, and the sand waves turned into six huge salons, persevering in chasing Bai Yu.
"The three spells cast by the Light have changed a lot, but they can be switched instantaneously and seamlessly, and we can only hope for this alone. Tian Chen looked at Qiu Yan's fierce offensive and couldn't help but admire.
Tianliu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that I would wait for decades of cultivation to be inferior to a fourteen-year-old girl, I'm really ashamed." ”
Bai Yu in the battlefield didn't expect Qiu Yan to be so difficult, she was chased by Sharon and fled in all directions, embarrassed. Qiu Yan controlled the salon and drove Bai Yu five miles away. Qiu Yan deliberately kept the battlefield close to the demon army camp, so as to avoid the fierce battle from spreading to Moxi City.
When Qiu Yan was concentrating on driving Bai Yu away, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being watched by something. Qiu Yan looked carefully and found a tall tower ten miles away, and the tower couldn't see anything in the tower casting an aggressive gaze, which made Qiu Yan's back cold.
It seems that the demon army is indeed afraid, so a demon king is sent to test it, wanting to see what kind of background this reinforcement has. If this is the case, Qiu Yan will be much more relieved, at least until he and Bai Yu have not decided the winner, the other demon kings will not act rashly.
When Bai Yu flew over his army, Sharon's movements were already slow, Bai Yu's wings shook, and strong magic fluctuations shattered Sharon, and a large area of yellow sand smashed down, burying countless demonic beasts in the soil. In order to completely reduce the position of the demonic beast to a battlefield, Qiu Yan stepped on the sand wave and quickly chased after it.
When Bai Yu saw Qiu Yan chasing her, he did not flinch and swooped down head-on. It showed its sharp claws, and its snow-white claws took Qiu Yan's head directly, Qiu Yan moved extremely fast, pulled out a sharp knife from her waist and slashed at Bai Yu's claws. There was a sound of metal colliding, and Bai Yu soared into the air. Although it was not injured this time, it was enough for Bai Yu to hurt for a long time.
The warriors of Moxi City saw Qiu Yan chasing Bai Yu all the way and fighting fiercely, and suddenly saw the dawn of victory, and they began to shout loudly, wave after wave, roaring so that the weak demonic beasts trembled.
