Chapter 314: Demon Invasion
"Hey, boy, rookie eggs, there's nothing to be afraid of. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough we are a border city, the demons have always been low-key, and they were originally high-profile for a while, but in recent years, it has almost been like death. On top of a tall wall, a veteran was sneering at a new recruit, "Instead of worrying about being attacked, you should be careful not to let unscrupulous merchants evade taxes and smuggle, those guys love to smuggle things into the orc country, and they dare to do anything for money." ”
The young soldier who was ridiculed shrugged his head in embarrassment, and from time to time raised his hand to touch his head. But despite the words of his predecessors, and the fact that the mainland had lived in peace for two years, the unwarranted uneasiness of being a recruit prevented the young soldier from taking a nap there as peacefully as his predecessors.
This is a side city, no matter who it is, as long as he lives on the continent, it is estimated that no one of any race does not know about its existence. The City of Titans, the city on the edge of the Corridor of Men and Demons blocked by the Mars Empire.
The Demon Race had indeed declared a state of alert for the entire clan three years ago, and no one or beast was allowed to pass through the Demon Clan's territory, not even enter. But since the orcs forcibly passed through the territory of the demons, the demons have disappeared and there has been no movement.
Since the Sea of Storms has passed, the city of the Titans has lost its former prosperity, and even the soldiers guarding it have been reduced by half, with only 10,000 troops stationed here, and no magicians stationed here. It's not that the Mars Empire despises the demons, but the demons are too low-key, so low-key that humans almost forget about his existence. And when Gaby was alive, he seemed to have a secret alliance with the demons, which made the Mas Empire also psychologically relaxed.
Maybe it's because the orcs and humans have experienced "life and death tribulations" anyway. Now that the trade between humans and orcs is frequent, it is impossible to bypass the demons anymore. That's just too far, and it's definitely much faster to transport it directly by sea or air. However, trading is much more relaxed. However, there are still many prohibited goods that are not allowed to be traded, but this kind of product is often a lucrative business, and it is controlled by the state at sea or in the air, and the tax rate is also abnormally high, which makes many merchants still like to take the land route, that is, through the city of Titan through the territory of the demons into the orc country, of course, these are smuggling merchant teams, which are not visible, so the army stationed in the city of Titan has strictly become an exclusive team for arresting smuggling.
If only in the past. If it is just anti-smuggling, let alone 10,000, a few hundred people is enough, as long as the city gate is closed, it will be difficult to fly. But now it is different, the ocean on the left is now very easy to pass, and there is no danger at all, but the mountains on the coast are one of the problems. It's just that in terms of human transportation capacity, it's not too much of a problem. On the right, if it had been a few years ago, the storm at sea would have been absolutely prohibitive. There weren't too many people to guard it at all, not even guards, because the sea couldn't cross orc territory. Sooner or later, you will have to go back to the edge of the Titan City, and you only need to set up a watchtower on the edge of the city.
But now it's different. Climbing over the mountain on the left, you don't even need to enter the demon territory through the Bay of the Dead Tide. Just get on the boat. As for the right, it's even more convenient, and the wide sea has plenty of room for you to maneuver around. In addition, the Sea of Storms has been able to travel since the past few years, and the restrictions on ships in the Mars Empire are not strict, and many people have private ships that have not yet been reported to the Empire.
However, this is not the main reason for the lack of anti-smuggling, after all, there are still tens of thousands of people in Titan City, plus the Maas Empire has always been rich, and there has never been a shortage of military equipment, and there are many mounts such as Earth Dragons and Flying Dragons. Therefore, the most critical thing is not the terrain and means, but the most important thing.
Among the defenders, there were generals who connived at the smugglers, and of course they also benefited a lot. At the beginning, when the mainland heard that there was going to be a great calamity and that war was about to start, the army was nervous, and no one ever thought about this, but as soon as the era of peace came, many people and many things began to change. The millennium period has passed, there is no pressure, the military is no longer as strict as before, and corruption and bribery are increasing, occurring in all strata and fields.
"There seems to be movement ahead!"
Suddenly, the recruit noticed that there was some movement in the darkness ahead, although the movement was not large, but it was night, and it was a dark and quiet night, and it was very easy to detect any movement.
"Huh?" the veteran was already about to die, and he hadn't fully woken up when he heard the recruit's call, "maybe those people are back." ”
"Who?" the recruits didn't know much about the situation here because they had just been sent here.
"Okay, let's just act like I didn't hear anything, you know?" The veteran finally woke up, although corruption was rampant in the defenders, but not all of them were greedy, they still had a blind eye, and they were still afraid of being stabbed out if they were too obvious. The veteran had obviously gone into the water, but the new recruit had just arrived, and he didn't know if it was his own person, so he didn't dare to say too clearly.
"Uh...... Oh. Although the recruit did not know the situation here, out of fear of the recruit, he still gave up the idea of curiosity, turned his head and no longer looked at the distant jungle below the city, but from his lower head still from time to time his eyes slanted to the outside of the city, although it was impossible to see anything with the magnitude of his bowed head, but it could be seen that the curiosity in his heart had not disappeared.
"Huh", suddenly, the original slight movement suddenly changed, and the sound of the beast's roar broke through the silent night, less than two kilometers below the city of Titans, there was a surge of people, and it seemed that a large number of troops were marching.
"Bastards, it's not them, enemy attack! enemy attack!"
Seeing this, the recruit did not react, but the veteran, although it had been peaceful for a few years, but the veteran had already enlisted in the war years after all, especially a few years ago, some time before the Hero Bridge Meeting, the mainland was very turbulent, and finally when the beasts went north, the city of Titans was all withdrawn. So although the veteran was still in a comatose state and had just woken up, he still knew what was going on for the first time. Enemy attack! It was actually an enemy attack, and it was clear that the demon clan had fallen silent. Although the orcs and humans do not yet have a formal alliance treaty, the two sides are already on the same front. This kind of thing is widely known, at least in the military.
"Oh!"
There are no more magicians in the City of Titans, and the two of them are the only ones on duty tonight. Veterans can only inform the headquarters in the oldest way - the trumpet!
In the sound of the horn, the lights in the city kept on, because of the communication with the horn that was something that had long been gone, fortunately, the city wall was on duty among the veterans, and found such a thing from the tower of the city, it was because of such a thing that people had long forgotten that although the army in the city woke up, there was not much movement. Of course, this is also because the sound of the trumpet is not too far away, and only the people who are close to the city gate can be heard.
The City of Titan was originally a city under military control, and there were no civilians. After the withdrawal of a large number of troops, the living quarters in the city were too relaxed, and although some high-ranking generals and supreme commanders accounted for almost half of the city's facilities, there was still enough space to house the troops, so that there were less than a thousand grassroots soldiers who were arranged to live on the side of the city gate, and there was not a single general above the middle level, which made the assembly even more difficult.
"Whew", although the crowd outside the city stopped, there was a dragon knight approaching the city of Titans at high speed. That dragon roar was much louder than the horn in the veteran's hand, resounding throughout the Titan City.
It's not a wyvern, not even a wyvern that roars like that, capable of piercing through the night sky of the entire city of Titans. This is a demon dragon transformed into a high-level demon general. Being able to have such a transformation shows that this demon general has an extremely pure bloodline.
The City of the Titans is finally all lit up, and the horn may not sound far away. No one knew what was going on here, but the roar of the dragon woke everyone up. Because there was danger in that roar.
"Boom", the demon dragon actually landed directly on the city wall without giving human face. The tower on the gate collapsed, and both the veteran and the recruit were knocked unconscious by the falling stones, and they were buried in the stones.
"Whew", the demon dragon slowly shrunk, and the body returned to a human-like shape again, and the ugly demon dragon dragon head gradually regained its human face. This magic dragon is actually incarnated by Abel, but it is not wrong to look at Abel's appearance, but it is much younger than before.
This is indeed Abel, and the demon clan's change is precisely the order of their three leaders, not for anything else, but to take back their demon king, Wu Tian.
It stands to reason that although Abel, Yadai and Adam have a high status and are the leaders of the Demon King's closest relatives, due to their weak strength and the weak lineage of the Demon King, there are not many people who can directly command, but they have changed recently.
In the demon race, the bloodline is very important, and the evolution of the bloodline directly affects personal strength, and it is also because of the bloodline that Lilan's father was firmly in the first place of the demon king. It's a pity that the instigator behind the betrayer of him is the younger brother of the demon god, and in terms of bloodline, it is not comparable to their lineage.
Just a few years ago, the demon king Wu Tian didn't know where to go, and then I heard that he was killed by humans, according to the rules of the demon race, it was a situation of endless death, but Abel and others were too weak as the leader of Wu Tian's relatives, and they simply ordered him not to be a human being, so that the so-called immortality became unstoppable.
Until a few years ago, Abel and the others suddenly felt an inexplicable aura, and their overall strength increased dramatically, and Abel and other big leaders could even conjure up a magic dragon. Abel and the others look young, but they are also hundreds of years old, and of course they understand where their power comes from. That's right, it's the activation of the bloodline, which can activate their bloodline, unless the bloodline of the main line master becomes more pure, or even completely activates the bloodline of the demon god. And their main master is not Wu Tian, but Lilan can barely be counted, saying that it is only Lilan's daughter. The only explanation is that their demon king Wu Tian's bloodline has evolved again, because Lilan and Wu Tian have a master-servant blood contract, then even Lilan's bloodline has been activated, which will be connected with the activation of their vein, but to be able to reach this step, you can imagine how far Wu Tian's bloodline needs to evolve.
Not to mention anything else, Abel and the others already knew that Wu Tian was not dead, but they waited in the demon clan for a year and did not receive any news about Wu Tian, and then they thought that no matter how powerful Wu Tian was, he might be detained by the human race, because this is a thousand-year covenant, and the human race has a strong person to return.
In the past, there was no ability to die, and Abel's vein was helpless. Now their vein has become extremely powerful, and they have directly subdued the other clans of the demon clan in the past year. Today, Abel and the others finally led the whole clan to ask for an explanation from the human race with the heart of death.
"Whew". The dragon's roar returned, but it came from outside the city of Titans, behind Abel. I saw that Abel's void was a little into the city, and the demon dragons in the distance were all around, all rushing towards the Titan City with a strong rage, they wanted to take the fall of the Titan City as their determination to immortalize the human race......
The city of the Titans has fallen!This is the news from the only surviving communicator in the front, and the nearest army garrison in the far side of the city of the Titans has all gathered together to deal with the invasion of the demons, and at the same time. A message was sent out with a magic weapon, and the target was the imperial capital of the Maas Empire......
"The demons are crazy!" An old man with a slightly thin beard and gray hair slapped the armrest of his chair angrily in one of the main halls of the palace in the capital of the Mars Empire, and threw the letter handed by the servant to the ground, but his servant picked it up, but he did not dare to hand it back.
The old man was none other than Carmen, and Gaby's death had hit him too hard, under pressure from all sides. The tall warrior image has become what it is today. At this time, it was already dawn outside, and it had been a full night since the fall of the Titan City.
"Your Majesty, we have a message for the other two empires. ”
Under Carmen's rage, no one dared to speak up, only one of his cronies stepped forward to suggest to Carmen. There is nothing said in the words. But it hinted to Carmen that now such an incident is no longer something that their Mas Empire can deal with alone, without a great mage like Gaby. The Maas Empire has lost the confidence to compete with any power.
"No!" but Carmen did not seem to accept such a suggestion, which made the minister frown. Thinking that Kama was unwilling to rescue the two empires of Guith and Cass for the sake of face, "Princess Sisi came immediately." Uh, let her bring her cousin and friends along. Oh, just say I'll invite them to come. ”
When the communications guard left, the ministers began to talk. But no one guessed Carmen's intentions, you must know that although Princess Sissi is extremely favored by Carmen, such a national event can be dealt with by a little girl. But in the end, one of the ministers said the heavenly opportunity.
"Princess Sissi's cousin seems to be Princess Gina, the granddaughter of Nath Kingdom Ray, and now she is the Grand Magister!"
"Oh!" the ministers suddenly let out a small sigh in unison, they couldn't wait to pat their heads for a moment, how could they forget their empire and the "backer" of the kingdom of Nas at this time.
"I heard that those two siblings are also here with Princess Gina!"
"Which two siblings?"
"Which one else, the one from the Pete family who I heard is already a forbidden spellmaster!"
"Oh, I see!"
The ministers finally understood why their emperor Carmen was not in a hurry to think of a countermeasure, but invited Princess Sissi to come with her guests, but there were already people in the capital who could deal with it.
"Well, I see you understand what I'm thinking, you go down first, I want to talk to them alone. Carmen looked much older, but her ears were still wise, and she heard what the ministers were saying.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The ministers are also well-behaved, although Mars and Nas are related, but now it is also a begging move, and Carmen does not want to ask for help in front of the minister.
Waiting for many ministers to slowly leave, soon a very dissatisfied female voice sounded outside the main hall: "Grandpa!
"Hehe," Karma heard her granddaughter's coquettish voice, and the clouds in her heart were temporarily swept away, revealing a hearty smile from the past, "My little baby, what have you learned?
"It's amazing!" As soon as the voice fell, a red short-haired girl appeared at the entrance of the main hall, followed by two women and a man, one of whom had the same hairstyle as her, and was pointing at the girl in front of her with a slender jade, while the other woman had a mature and steady performance, looking straight ahead without squinting, and the man was looking at it in a ghostly way, just like a big boy who didn't grow up.
"Gina is here, come, come over here and sit and talk. ”
Although this is the main hall of the council, there are still seats, and some high-ranking officials are sometimes given seats by Kama to discuss matters. Carmen stepped down from the dragon chair above, sat down casually in the ordinary chair, and pointed to the next seat to sit down with the few people who were about to come in.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gina and the other three responded at the same time, Gina and Linsi were very sincere, while Jahan also focused on the surrounding environment and responded casually.
"Hey, I'm born, so I'll call grandpa with Sissi!" said Carmen, whose face was grim, and pretended to be unhappy.
"Thank you, Grandpa Carmen!" Gina smiled and changed her words, but Linsi didn't speak.
"Grandpa," Sissi threw herself into Carmen's arms and coquettishly, "It's okay, it's okay, we're leaving, I haven't learned it yet!"
"Alas, no hurry, grandpa still has something to say. Carmen scratched Sissi's little nose with her fingers, and then handed the front report that had been placed on the table next to her to Gina, "You come and help Grandpa see, what do the demons want to do?" (To be continued.) )
