Chapter Seventy-Two: Hidden Operations

In the middle of the night, the jade plate-like moon illuminates the entire world of Sylsa.

Outside the city of Therocais, the roaring demon army had already pressed down on the city, and the screams of their battles with the human army and the sound of swords fighting were in chaos. The whole area was black and miserable, and the smell of blood spread to the vast field with the breeze.

In the wilderness, the 80,000-strong army of the Legion of Nastylo retreated a few dozen miles west of Laurentiia, where they waited for news of the victory of Admiral Altona.

And the fact is that under the cover of the favorable terrain, the demons were almost killed by the boulders thrown by the warriors of the city, shot by arrows, or burned by the falling flames before they could get close to the humans.

Except for the Hotfeiya riding Ankis and a few demon archers holding black bows, although they have brute strength, no one can cause any damage to humans, they only know how to swing their broadswords and slash fiercely or use all their strength to rampage towards the city gate more than ten meters high, the city gate is strong, specially built to resist the burly and powerful demon people, they are difficult to break through.

At this time, the soldiers sent by Finnele to investigate the situation of the battle returned on horseback.

"How's it going? Have the demons been defeated?" asked Finnier, who was far away, with his chest puffed out.

"Yes, I think that if it stays until dawn or less, those stupid demons will all be annihilated. The soldier replied, "Our tall walls and strong mountains have stopped them in the Valley of Triumph, and the valley is like a dead end, and they are crowded there, helpless against us. They are stronger than us, but they don't know how to use their brains, they only know how to stupidly stare at the arrows, and as far as I can see, we kill a thousand of them, and they lose a few dozen of us at most. ”

"It seems that the rumored fierce and vicious demon people are not enough to defeat the ordinary people of our human race. Fernelle laughed, "Convey to Admiral Altona, that I am in the rear, that I will always support him, and that he will receive the highest honor and reward of the state after victory." ”

"Yes!" the soldier turned and rode away again.

At this moment, almost everyone of Syrsa except for Positas (1) and Oz Mountain had been moved underground by the swift underground army, and despite the sheer scale, the operation was not discovered by anyone else, or rather, the discoverers had been executed.

The whole of Syrsa had become desolate except for the vast population and the hundred thousand troops of Laurendia. For nearly a decade, the indigenous inhabitants of Tyrota, the Intara who are skilled at digging for earth, have been exploiting the vast underground space that has allowed the civilians of Sirsa to live freely and uncrowded.

This is not an exaggeration, because the ability of the Tartra people to dig the ground is a marvel in the eyes of every nation in the world, and they are suffering from an ancient curse and digging with their lives.

Silorin Log, the king of Sylsas, was busy in the great underground passages, assigning underground huts to every civilian who came here.

There were so many people that he was already a little overwhelmed. Looking at the people who poured up, he couldn't help but feel worried, so he ordered the white elf Ztabate beside him to handle these chores instead of him, and walked towards the dungeon with his long staff.

Trosiculus and Esbinafa were standing in the middle of the dungeon waiting for the return of Kalosim, who had gone to inquire about it.

At this moment, Lorraine Logge walked in on crutches through the open door to the east.

"Elder, Archon. He frowned and said, "There are more and more people underground, although our underground space is a miracle created by the Tartra people, and it can accommodate so many people, but if it goes on like this for a few days, I'm afraid food will be a problem." ”

"This is exactly what I am worried about, and we have to go underground to harvest and find food in the vast plains of the earth and some remote corners of the earth, which is obviously beyond our means. The elder said, "The demons are attacking Silsath, and in this situation, if there is no help from the heavens, they will undoubtedly face unprecedented calamity. The time has come for you to go to Heaven as an emissary of Syrsas to ask for their help, and if they ignore this matter, they will be treated with human despisis. For this reason, I will inform the Elder Sitaro in the Kingdom of Heaven to spread the news that Syrsa is besieged by the demons, and that the civilians within it will suffer a catastrophe. ”

"I hope you'll tell the elder to make us miserable. "To relieve my stress, I'm leaving for Heaven tomorrow morning." ”

"It's very necessary. The elder replied.

Between the words, Kalosim suddenly rushed in from outside the east gate, he clenched his fists, and said with a salute: "Elder, commander, Lord Zo Wangsi, the demon soldiers outside the city of Therocais have suffered heavy losses, it seems that with the power of the demon army, not only will they not be able to break through the city of Therocais tonight, but they will suffer heavy losses, and the army of the Helllo Legion that was originally intended to support them has retreated to a place only a few dozen miles away from the city of Lao, and Feenile seems to be confident of victory in the battle." ”

"They went back again. "No," said Trosicus, "they expect the demon army to be defeated, and if they take a half step back, they will return to Laurentiia, and then the long-planned capture of Cirins will be over." ”

With that, he drew his long sword and shouted, "Without further ado, we will set off at once, and go straight to Laocheng, if we wait for the 80,000 elites to return, it will be too late to regret everything." ”

"Good. After a moment's thought, the elder asked Kalosim, "Do you know the current state of affairs in the city of Laurentidia?"

"Yes, Elder. "The soldier who went with me to investigate told me that there are now only two thousand guards guarding the newly built Grand Place of Sholocigas, and that we do not know what is inside, because you can't get in, and perhaps you should send little Nafa there." ”

"I have more important things to do. The woodpecker replied sharply.

"Okay! These people are just right. Trosikus laughed, "We will lead a thousand elite soldiers with superior force to fight quickly and capture Sirins alive!"

With that, he strode out.

The elders followed.

"Lord Saoji, I'll leave everything to you here. Esbinafa stopped and turned around.

"Go, catch that dog thief from Cilicens, he owes the country so much, and we've endured it too long. Lorraine Logge said.

Esbinafa nodded, and then he urged Little Nafa: "You will leave me in a while, you are investigating outside the city of Lao, and if something unexpected happens, inform us quickly, the city of Laocheng is not a safe place." ”

"Yes, master. The woodpecker snapped in response.
