Chapter 117: The Opposite
As the wildfires spread, more and more beasts and monsters left the territory they relied on for survival, and these fellows were reluctant to leave their dens if it were not for the difficulty of surviving the catastrophe.
The beasts and monsters that had left their territory became more and more ferocious, carrying with them what they could encounter along the way, running farther and farther to places that were not covered in flames.
At first, these beasts and monsters would hide from the camp of the Leria, but as the flames swept faster, they became more irritable. Whatever it was, anything that stood in their way to survival was destroyed by them. It doesn't matter if it's a few people, or if it's a camp.
The people of Leria were also shocked by this scene, and they immediately gathered their people to discuss how to find a chance to survive this disaster.
"This is a conspiracy of the Jerutes, who are trying to destroy us all with flames. These damned Jeruts, don't they understand that once the wildfire spreads deep into the mountains and forests, those powerful demonic beasts will inevitably be alarmed. It's better if they escape deeper into the forest, but if they run out of the mountains, it will definitely be a disaster!", an old patriarch smashed the thick trunk with his cane in his hand, lifting a small piece of bark and secreting milky white branches and leaves, "They don't understand that once a beast tide is formed, the nearby cities will also be affected!"
Beast tides have always existed, and they are not uncommon. It's just that most of the time, the beast tide doesn't bring much trouble to people, but makes many people become heroes and become objects of worship. Some people with a little ability always fantasize about a sudden outbreak of a beast tide in order to make themselves famous in the entire Southern Regions.
These beast tides are often due to the excessive number of beasts or monsters in a certain area, and in order to compete for the environment and opportunities to survive, the beasts will prioritize a battle. The winner becomes the new lord, while the loser leaves the realm. A large number of beasts that have lost their territory together hit the surrounding human settlements, and this is the process of the birth of the beast tide.
But this beast tide is by no means as simple as before, powerful demonic beasts will also appear, and even powerful demonic beasts like siege demonic beasts may also be affected by this fire.
Beasts and monsters in anger can only shoot their anger at humans.
The archon's face was gloomy, he was not the only one whose face was so ugly, he hadn't seen much of a smile on his face in almost a month. Ever since he found out that the Jeruths were going to take revenge on Leria, it was hard for him to laugh. And at this moment, his face was even more ugly.
Because they will face the difficulty of a life-and-death decision.
If it had been discovered earlier that the Jeruts had shamelessly and vilely lit a mountain fire, they would have had a way out. Twenty or thirty meters, even if it is a hundred meters of fire, is not an insurmountable difficulty for human beings. Accustomed to jumping around the trees, the Lerians can use their advantage to escape from the canopy. But now that the fire is in a row, no one knows how wide the fire is, how serious the fire is, and no one dares to try it.
They were faced with a situation where they were almost cornered, and they were dead.
"There's no point in talking about this now, let's think about how we can keep our people alive!"
Someone suggested, "We can dig a cave and hide." The fire was fierce, but I believe the fire couldn't burn the dirt, and if we dig deep enough, we will definitely get through it. ”
This man's proposal made many people's eyes light up, yes, hiding in the crypt is also a solution. The wildfires come and go quickly, and they will be burned to the ground in a week at most. And there is no need to think about food at this time, the fire has brought despair, and it has also brought untold food. A large number of beasts and monsters gathered in the vicinity to take refuge in the fire, providing an ample food supply for the Lerians.
But immediately someone objected, "What are you kidding? Have you ever thought about us being stuffed in the crypt? You use your brain to think about how that dirt meat is made? and then think about your damn thoughts." This sentence is not without a target, the soil wrapped meat is similar to the flower chicken, with the best Warcraft pork belly as the main ingredient, after the development of the wrapping in huge leaves, wrapped in soil and buried directly into the soil. Light a fire on the buried area, and it only takes two hours to make the fragrant meat.
The wildfires are so fierce that if you miscalculate the form, everyone will surely turn into pieces of cooked meat.
"And have you thought about it, we have almost 80,000 people in total, how many caves can you dig and how many people can be loaded?"
、
There was silence, and everyone sighed, apparently thinking about how whimsical the idea was. According to the information available so far, it will take up to two days for the fire to spread. Two days is not enough time to dig a deep enough cavern to hide in an underground cavern with 80,000 people.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell should I do?!"
The cruel expression on the beast god's face flashed slightly, he was one of the only two surviving heroes of Leria, and he also had a lot of authority and voice in the clan. He coughed lightly and said, "Actually, the Jerutes did this to force us to attack the city. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Yes, the Jeruthians themselves set a fire before they left, and put all the Lereans in their pockets, but they themselves were in this pocket. In this way, the Yeruts must have left behind and will certainly not be affected by this wildfire.
There are no fools here, and fools will not discuss the situation with everyone here, and in an instant everyone figured out the purpose of the Jerutes doing this, and a kind of fear appeared in their hearts, these Jeruts were really too vicious and too resolute.
At the same time, they also breed a trace of remorse. If he had chosen to stick to the city, perhaps the situation would not have become so bad, or even reversed.
But regret is useless, if regret is useful, there will be no such regrets in this world.
The Archon couldn't help but stand up, and then sat down again, "Siege?", his eyes looked at the Leriates who were lying in the trees outside the camp, and he was thinking about the siege. Ever since they entered the forest, the infantry and cavalry had been almost abandoned, and all of them had been converted to hunters and rangers, and after half a year of training, the people of Leria had become accustomed to hiding in dense foliage and using bows and arrows, rather than holding swords and shields.
In the current situation, how many people will be left in the end, and will they really reoccupy their city?
No one knows, but they know one thing, that is, the cost of siege must be extremely heavy.
The Jeruts made it clear that they were forcing them to attack the city, so why would they not be prepared for defense?
But what if you don't fight?
The archon stamped his foot in disgust, so strong that the whole ball of his foot was a little numb. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Okay, then as they wish, we will attack the city!", he paused, and his face became extremely serious, "We must capture the city within two days, otherwise we have no way out!"
The order was conveyed from top to bottom, and the entire Leriad people were mobilized, and they abandoned a large number of heavy but not very important supplies, and drove lightly, aiming directly at the new city of Leria, which is halfway up the mountain.
The scout, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Lerians, immediately reported the movements of the Lerians to the bald head, and the bald head had a shiny head, laughing, "Feng Shui takes turns, now it's their turn to be anxious! Pass my order, prepare to defend the city, and strive to wipe out the Lerians here!"
