Chapter 896: Digging a tunnel

"Damn it! Why are there troops invading again?!"

Inside the fortress, Gabriel's face was full of rage, and he smashed the table in front of him.

Evan sitting on the opposite side, while avoiding the flying wood chips, said in a deep voice, "I have just made contact with all the fortresses on the border line, and I have not been attacked by any enemies."

"What's going on? Could it be the air troops, flying from the sky?!"

"Even when it was raining rain, there were Sky Wing troops patrolling the border, and it was impossible for a large force to slip under their noses, and according to the information provided by some of the city's residents who lived near the Cathedral of the Holy Light, that night, although the light was dim, what they could confirm was that there were large troops running through the streets, at least two or three thousand people, and there were not so many security forces, that is, those two or three thousand troops were enemies! And if the other party has the ability to fly, then just ignore the terrain and fly over, why do you need to work so hard?"

"And what the hell is going on?!" Gabriel asked with an irritated face.

At this time, Michael, who was sitting on the other side, spoke.

"It's not an invasion from the air, it's not like before, the invasion fortress has passed through the border defenses, and it is impossible to think that it will be crossed out of thin air, if you have that kind of means, the other side should have used it a long time ago. So, there's only one possibility I can think of at the moment."

As he spoke, he and Evan looked at each other, and then the two of them said in unison, "Underground."

Gabriel, who got such an answer, was stunned for a moment, but then quickly reacted.

"Digging tunnels? But at such a distance, even if the other party starts digging in the spring, it is impossible to have time!"

"Gabriel, what we can't do, may not be able to do it either, but don't forget, they have the troops of the orc race."

After saying that, Michael got up directly, and then quickly said to one of the soldiers beside him, "Give the order to go down and search the sewers of that city!"

"Yes!"

After Michael's order clarified the direction of the search, the security forces in the city soon found a mark in the sewer that had obviously been excavated, but it had now been buried.

Realizing this, the winged people hurriedly found tools and tried to dig this place up again.

However, after digging for almost fifty or sixty meters, the action stopped.

Because of digging here, they realized that the other party had collapsed the hole when they were evacuating, but they could still see the outline of the hole and some basic information.

That hole was not particularly large, and it was almost enough to accommodate an adult human to pass through, which was the main reason why Xia Qi only sent werewolf troops and kobold troops to attack.

Because they have night vision and are close to adult humans, they can pass through this burrow.

As for why not dig a bigger hole in the ground, of course, that's a matter of time.

On this expedition, Xia Qi brought out five hundred badgers with a prepared mentality.

The Badgers are a race among the orcs that are very good at digging holes.

Moreover, this race also has the project effect of the special class of "Badger Tunnel Soldiers", and then assisted by the dwarf engineers who accompanied the army, the badger tunnel soldiers dug day and night in front, and the dwarven engineers followed behind, and also strengthened the tunnels day and night to ensure that the tunnels would not collapse.

It took nearly three months to dig up such an extraordinarily long tunnel leading to the border city on the Wing Man side.

And the size of this tunnel, even if it is increased by half a meter, for the badger tunnel soldiers and dwarf engineers, their workload will be increased exponentially!

As for spending more time, it's even more impossible.

In the past few months, the Wingman Civilization has made it clear that it is dragging time with him, and Xia Qi also wants to start acting as soon as possible, so there was the attack on the stormy night.

After completing the task, Richard and Wang Yuan retreated from the tunnel while the dwarven engineers guarding there directly destroyed their reinforcement of the tunnel, causing the section of the tunnel connected to the sewer to completely collapse.

Because judging by the situation, they don't need this tunnel anymore.

Of course, if you need it again, dig it again, and the tunnel is just a piece of it, about 800 meters.

Digging 800 meters is too simple for the badger tunnel soldiers and dwarf engineers.

But the winged people didn't know that after digging fifty or sixty meters with a lot of effort, they gave up, thinking that they had completely buried the entire tunnel in order to break it.

In order to deal with Daxia's method of digging tunnels, next, the Wing Man first blocked most of the sewer manhole covers, and then closely guarded the only manhole covers in each city, and sent a certain number of people to enter the sewers every day to patrol to ensure that no new tunnels were dug over.

However, their hand was obviously expected by Xia Qi.

Although it is convenient to dig directly into the city, such an attack can basically only be used once.

At night, a piece of land on the outskirts of the city suddenly collapsed, and a hole in the ground was revealed, and a large number of kobold soldiers and werewolf soldiers quickly poured out of it.

It is impossible to enter the city directly, but as long as you cross the defense line of the border fortress, there is actually not much difference between Richard and Wang Yuan.

In these places, the Wind Knight troops have already stepped on the point in advance.

While there may be some deviation in the position when digging from the ground, this is not too large if the Wind Knights provide the location.

At this time, they were in a remote corner of the middle of nowhere, and basically, no one noticed that they had entered.

As for what's next, that's pretty easy.

There are a total of thirty Holy Light Cathedrals on the border of the Winged People civilization, and so far, they have destroyed eight Holy Light Cathedrals before and after, and there are still twenty-two left.

On the border of the Winged People civilization, ninety percent of the troops were contained in the fortress by Xia Xuan's army, and they were basically unable to move.

The remaining ten percent of the force was divided equally among the twenty-two Basilicas of the Holy Light.

In other words, when they attack a city, they only need to face 22/10 of these 10 miles.

Even if you add the number of security forces, there are so many people on the other side, in order to confront the Great Xia army, the high-level troops can't move, how can they be the opponent of their three thousand orc soldiers.

Richard and Wang Yuan directly led their troops into the city, and they were completely able to press that bit of garrison troops to the ground and rub them wantonly.

With the help of this tunnel, Xia Qi released an orc army into it, and coupled with the response of the Wind Knight troops, it simply disturbed the city on the border of the Wingman civilization.

During this period, outside the border fortress, Xia Qi's offensive intensity was increased again and again.

The scaly dragon beast Hadron led two iron-armored giant rhinos to frantically attack the defensive barrier of the Wingman Fortress, constantly making loud noises.

If this had been replaced by the walls of the fortress, I am afraid that it would have collapsed more than a hundred times, and this defensive barrier was so strong, it hit so many times in a row, and it didn't even hit a crack.

To a certain extent, Xia Qi was also a little convinced of the defensive power of this defensive barrier.

Inside the fortress, Gabriel, who couldn't sit still, suddenly pulled out the holy sword at his waist, and in the next second, he was about to fan the six wings behind him and take off into the air, but he was held down by a broad palm.

"What do you want to do?" Michael asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, to deal with the three-headed beast outside!"

As he spoke, Gabriel directly entered the judgment mode, and the six wings behind him had already ignited a brilliant golden holy flame, exuding a powerful divine might.

"The collision of those three giant beasts is even stronger than the previous shelling, and each time it collides with the barrier, how much faith power does it have to consume to counteract?

They must be stopped!"

Looking at the emotional Gabriel, this time it was not Michael who spoke out, but Evan.

"Calm down, if you release the Divine Judgment, do you think the other side will just look at it?"

At the same time as Evan said this, feeling the force of the hand on his shoulder, Gabriel glanced at Michael with a serious face, and finally lifted the state of judgment mode, and then asked unwillingly, "Then what now, you can't let those three-headed beasts keep crashing like this, right?"

"Let the Templars cooperate with the Celestial Wings and lead their troops out to meet them, and in the meantime, I will let the Inquisitors attack the three behemoths with the Judgment Blade in the rear."

With Evan's order, the attacking troops on the winged side's side quickly came out, and the judges of the Knights of the Judgment also took action. Z.br>

A large number of Judgment Blades began to attack the three-headed beast.

Compared to physical attacks, the Judgment Blade is a spell damage, and there are so many of them that even the scaly dragon beast hadron and the two iron-armored giant rhinoceros cannot be completely ignored, coupled with the entanglement of the Templars on the ground, their attack frequency suddenly began to decrease.

At the same time, in the position of Great Xia, Xia Qi was holding a telescope and kept looking up and down the main battlefield.

While looking, he couldn't help but ask Ares next to him a few words.

"The other side is too calm, isn't it, and the strategic-level unit has no intention of making a move at all?"

In this regard, Ares hesitated for a moment, and then said casually: "If only Gabriel was there, he would definitely be killed directly, but now it seems that Michael is definitely in the fortress, otherwise Evan alone would not be able to stop him."

"According to you, does Gabriel have no brains?"

I don't know if Xia Qi's sentence is to the point, Ares, who has always kept a straight face, instantly broke his work and let out a sneer.

"That's pretty much it, among the six-winged holy wings, apart from Raphael, who is in charge of logistics, only Gabriel does not have the position of legion commander."

Hearing this, Xia Qi suddenly showed a hint of understanding on his face.

Thinking about it carefully, Ares had said when he provided information before that the commander of the Blazing Legion was Michael, and Gabriel was the vanguard general of the Blazing Legion, and to put it bluntly, he was responsible for charging into battle.

Looking at this situation, this is a typical character who is not resourceful, but brave and brave.

Although the fierce general-type character with strategic-level destructive power is also very threatening, for Xia Qi, the most headache for him is actually Michael and Evan on the other side.

After all, in this wave of attacks, Xia Qi had already let Phantom put on a good posture in the distance.

As long as the six-winged saint wing species on the opposite side dares to take the lead, and then use a strategic-level strike to deal with his three-headed land beast, then the illusory map cannon will come over in minutes.

No matter how many wings you have, Xia Qi really doesn't believe it, just the small crisp body of the winged man can still withstand the dragon's breath of illusion?

A head-on hit will definitely blow them to the ground, leaving them with no scum left.

But now it seems that his plan this time may be in vain, which makes him a little depressed.
