Chapter 16: On the Old Land (4)
After a brief moment of reunion joy, Dara pulls his mind back to reality, and as he looks at the large army that has become one, he is faced with a more important choice.
For Darla, who had already made up his mind to change the world on his own, he knew that he had to have a stable foothold, and now he could neither go north to Rock Bottom nor move south back to Nelson, so he set a new destination in Old Midland.
It is adjacent to the domination of humans, dwarves, and elves, which can effectively replenish the source of troops, and there are some things, not only the local Midland descendants want to settle accounts with him, but he also needs to give them a strong counterattack.
After absorbing the dwarves' troops, Darra's troops suddenly became stronger, and their morale was greatly improved, and Dara also strictly followed the dwarves' suggestions for governing the army, solemnly affirmed the new discipline of the troops, and even cut down a middle-level cadre who had seriously violated discipline for this purpose.
After that, their journey was unusually fast, arriving at Old Midland at an astonishing speed.
Even the Midland family, who are powerful in intelligence, were suddenly surprised by their whereabouts after they entered the forest, but they still didn't understand how this force arrived here, they almost seemed to fall from the sky.
By this time, the beautiful widow Almisia, the existing ruler of Old Midland, had risen from her throne and let out a burst of laughter that made her subordinates shudder.
Her daughter, Amber, still holding her black cat, rebuked the warlocks kneeling at the foot of her mother in her mother's place: "You bundt, why are you here to tell now?"
"They came too fast. We didn't know it before. ”
"What about the barricades and magic bans in the forest?"
"The barricades were destroyed by trained warriors, and the magic bans were broken by the mysterious mages in their ranks. ”
"Then ......," Amber said again, but her mother Almisia stopped her with a gesture.
Almisia said coldly: "I was looking for him! He is coming to die!
"But they......" The warlock below winced to remind his mistress that the other party, armed with powerful magical weapons and thousands of well-trained warriors, had not only destroyed barricades along the way, but had already surrounded their town.
"Say no more!" Almisia sternly stopped, "All the warlocks in our family are fighting for revenge! and the outlaws in this town, you must also organize them all! If you can't defeat the group outside." There is only one fate for all of you: death!"
Above the old town of Midland, all kinds of dazzling lights flickered incessantly, and pillars of fire rose into the air, piercing the sky. Then it disappeared silently into the night.
The attack began in the evening, when Darra's forces had laid siege to the old city.
After a long period of persuasion to no avail, Dara knew that they were faced with many warlocks and outlaws in the Midland family, under the rule of a powerful woman like Almisia. will fight them with all their might, so they have to launch a siege campaign before they can prepare more spells.
As Dara had expected, the battle was a very difficult one, they missed the most favorable moment, and gave the other side a certain amount of time to prepare, so that the battle lasted from the evening until midnight, and the light flashed incessantly, and they encountered unusually stubborn resistance.
"It can't go on like this. Mike reminded Darla, "Everyone in Tuya knows that the only one who can fight against a mage is a mage. ”
Dara knew that he was prompting him to enlist Puno's help, but after seeing the massive casualties caused by the Pono Golem in Goblin Valley, Dara vowed not to use his brother's magical powers. Now, however, the warlocks possessed by the other party and the endless array of magical blows had shaken Darra's resolve.
Regular troops can only fight against the outlaws, and the magic cast by the warlocks is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist. If you continue to hesitate like this, your own casualties will be even greater.
After much consideration, he finally gave an order to his younger brother Puno: "Use the Golem." ”
Puno sneered. "Why should I get involved in this stupid battle?"
Dara didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the other party would disobey his own control, and his direct reaction was to reach out and slap his brother, saying, "I'm your brother!
Puno's face was suddenly left with several clear fingerprints. Annoyed, he killed his brother almost immediately, but luckily he sent his fingers to the ground with a trembling finger at the moment of deadly lightning. A huge black hole was immediately burned out of Darla's feet.
Jenny, who had been standing behind Darra, saw that Dara was attacked, and immediately condensed a huge magical power. The fire in his hand churned, aimed at Puno.
"Stop!" Dara shouted, "Join forces to attack the city at once! If you don't obey, get out of here!" After giving this order, Dara drew his thunder sword, and in an instant, a light more dazzling than all the magic flames came out of the sword, and it looked extremely brilliant in the night.
The sword trembled long inside its scabbard, a strong desire to return to the battlefield, passed to Dara through the blade, making him not want to sit in the rear, but to rush to the front of the battlefield.
In his mind, the moment he drew his sword, the magnificent picture of the ancient battlefield also appeared again.
This kind of anticipation and enthusiasm made him feel the endless energy transmitted by the sword body at this time, and he felt that he was instantly full of strength and confidence.
Dara rushed straight to the front, he was probably a rare general among human soldiers who really took the lead, and under Darra's encouragement, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was even higher.
Puno and Jenny, who are worried about Darla's safety, also join the battle at this time.
Puno's golem moved, and soon overran Darla's troops, shattering the walls, opening huge gaps in the tall walls, and mercilessly slaughtering those who could not resist.
The local warlocks worked together to destroy the two golems, but when the two magical geniuses of Puno and Jiaoni arrived and attacked them, they were quickly defeated.
The flames and wonders caused by magic, as well as the near-devastating disasters, took Darla a long time to rebuild and repair the place after taking over.
But at this time, the attack of the two magical geniuses greatly shortened the siege time of Darla's troops, and those outlaws could no longer resist this well-trained army, and they all raised their hands and surrendered.
The two-headed giant Cruru walked in front of Broto, constantly picking up enemies that stood in his way and throwing them farther away, or simply stuffing some broken corpse in his mouth and munching on it, a ferocity that made even outlaws shudder.
Since Krulu had been clearing the way for the master behind him, Blotto couldn't experience the joy of fighting at all, so he angrily said, "Get out of here!"
Hearing his master's latest order, Kruru shook his huge head in confusion with a dog-like hurt expression on his face. He said that he was also doing his duty to open the way for his master, but when Blotto shouted loudly again, he immediately and obediently stepped aside.
Darla led the crowd into the city, to the ruins of the ruined Midland court.
Here, he ordered everyone to stop the attack for a while, because the master of this palace was, after all, one of the few relatives of Jiao Ni in the world. With this in mind, Dara hopes that the stubborn woman inside will choose to surrender when it is clear that they are gone.
Sensing Dara's heart, Jenny, who was following Dara, was exhausted from the night spell casting, but she still stepped forward at this time and held Dara's hand tightly, and the trust and gratitude in her heart were wordlessly transmitted to Dara through her little hands.
Looking at the flames of the court in front of them, and the ancient green vines on the walls, they remembered the first time they set foot in this place, and both of them were silent and full of thoughts.
Inside the court.
Almisia still stood in her original position on the top of the main hall, her daughter Amber still holding her black cat Leonardo, and at the foot of the steps in front of them, there were only a few warlocks left, and some young maids like Eve, all of whom lifted the veil of black veils to reveal their most primitive weapon: beauty.
Wounded and dying warlocks and maids retreated into the main hall. For them, they don't understand what kind of woman their master is. They had long known that failure in a mission meant death, and choosing to surrender to Dara meant life, but it was their loyalty that led them to die.
Looking at these subordinates who had retreated to the main hall to defend her, Almisia also knew that the defeat was decided, and with the few people they had left, as well as the strength of their mother and daughter, they could not resist the enemies outside! Those two devilish enemies! She had never seen such power! Before that great power of destruction, she realized how small the magical power of these warlocks she had cultivated and possessed.
However, she will never surrender, and she will not surrender to her enemies when she dies! )
