Chapter 126: Capture the City

At the depths of the tunnel 300 meters underground in Hongshi Ridge, thousands of diggers whose size was as huge as maggots and 100 times larger were devouring the soil day and night, expanding the underground passage with a diameter of more than 10 meters. Batch after batch of flame hounds emerged from the dark shadows of the depths of the passage and spread out in all directions.

Judging from the size of this batch of Flame Hounds, there are at least three War King Worms at the entrance to the other end of the Underworld that are in full production. With an adequate supply of provisions, the Earthwalker Legion's War King Bugs could continue to produce without sleep for seven days, expanding the size of the force to a terrifying number.

However, this is only a theoretical estimate, and in reality, it is rare for Her Royal Highness the princess to act so frustratedly. In addition to the cost of consideration, a single branch of the army can also be easily restrained in battle. The current plan to launch three War King Worms to produce five thousand Flame Hounds at once has gone beyond the definition of "loser" in the conventional sense, and is not so much a brainless squandering as it shows the arrogance of His Highness.

After the last group of Flame Hounds left, there was no movement in the passage for a long time. A digger lying on the ground and chewing on the dirt seemed to be a little puzzled by the unusual silence, and stopped his movements and turned his head to look. It's just that as soon as it raised its head, it was pierced through its body by a huge sickle insect foot, bursting out a puddle of pus.

The lower body of the insect that walked out of the passage resembled that of a spider, with four slender arthropods, and the upper body was composed of two deformed short and thick claws and a hideous mouth, and the body was two meters high, with a red streamlined pattern throughout. This is the main combat unit of the legion under the command of Princess Ranga Akalian, the Alpha Dire Spider Knight.

"Gather resources to build wormholes, find traces of the Rangaria Legion, and clear all obstacles from the surface world!Long live His Highness Ranga Akalian!" The Earthwalker Vanguard Officer, who straddled the dreaded spider, clapped his fist on his chest and roared loudly. The Spider Knight cracked open its mouth and let out a strange quack, and in an instant it was like thousands of crows opening their mouths at the same time, and even the surrounding underground tunnels shook significantly.

If El knew that another princess was coming, she would probably curse in her heart, "You guys are still finished!", and then immediately took his family away from Istalen. But at this time, the problem in front of him is even more troublesome.

His troops met a reconnaissance force of hundreds of flame hounds in the forest, and after a fight, their own casualties inevitably occurred. With no place to be found, the firehounds of the forest gathered more and more, and he had no choice but to return to Isttalon.

But what he didn't expect was that Isttalon was also in a situation of taking care of himself at this moment.

Count Snecker did not know how to control the mind of Anderson, the commander of the city defense force, and at the same time used his identity to indirectly control a part of the soldiers of the city defense force. After his order, not only did the soldiers rebel at the eastern gates, where the refugees gathered, but the walls around Isttalon fell into chaos almost at the same time.

The controlled soldier suddenly burst into trouble, pulled out his weapon and cut down his companions without saying a word, even if the other soldiers reacted, they didn't know how to distinguish friend from foe, and accidentally injured others, and they couldn't say clearly if they had their own mouths. Hesitation and suspicion further amplified the chaos and gradually developed into an uncontrollable situation.

"What the hell is going on?"

El and the officers were stunned as they watched the smoke billowing from the city walls, the soldiers in the same armor brandishing their weapons like crazy and attacking all the comrades who came close to him, and from time to time someone screamed and fell from the city.

"Is there a rebellion?" said Timmy, narrowing his eyes in confusion.

"Rebellion, all of them are fighting blindly. El said angrily, a blue light flashing in his eyes, and he could already see the cats on the city walls. Only a handful of soldiers are wrapped in strange black silk threads, like marionettes, destroying everything around them with all their might. More soldiers were obviously frightened, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and only passively resisted.

"Some people seem to be controlled by magic or something like that, Mr. Ahmed, you go and maintain order. Palanti, come with me!"

El ran under the walls with Palanti and jumped up against the cracks in the walls. Palanti's strength is on the silver edge, and his physical agility is not inferior to El, and he can also easily climb the city wall to control the situation. Although this girl is easy to take orders as a deaf ear, she can't take care of them so much now that the situation is urgent.

El climbed the wall, grabbed one of the controlled soldiers and slashed him with an axe, trampled him under his feet, and carefully examined the details on the corpse, and soon noticed the abnormality of the soldier's eyes.

"Palanti, watch the eyes of those soldiers! Get rid of the problematic first!" Elle shouted back.

Unexpectedly, there was no response.,As soon as Lori Knight enters the combat state, the body is completely subordinated to combat intuition rather than brain consciousness.,There's no need for Er's reminder.,The kind of "abnormality" on the controlled soldier she can completely distinguish.。 Phalante's foil flew up and down, clearing a large clearing on the city wall in an instant.

"The city defense army belongs, stand back!" Ahmed's voice sounded on the other side, as the commander of the hunter brigade, Ahmed's prestige in the Istalon army was not inferior to that of the watchdog. When the chaotic city defense soldiers heard his voice, it was as if they had found their backbone, and they immediately quieted down and slowly retreated.

Although some soldiers were not controlled, they lost their minds for a while under the extreme fear and stimulation, and turned a blind eye to Ahmed's voice, still holding their swords and slashing around. Ahmed snorted coldly, raised his longbow and fired a series of arrows, nailing all the disobedient soldiers in front of him to the city wall.

In the regular army, there is already extremely strict military discipline, and the superiors have the right to use the harshest methods to suppress soldiers who do not obey orders, for whatever reason. El is very aware of this, but he is a little soft-hearted in execution, and until now he has not really regarded himself as a soldier, but has the mentality of getting by, otherwise he will not let Palanti act on his own.

But Ahmed is a real soldier, and there is only one way to deal with this situation, and that is to kill to stop killing. This method is quick and convenient, but it also lacks flexibility and aftermath.

The number of soldiers who were actually controlled was already small, and they were quickly killed and wounded under the unilateral slaughter of the two silver powerhouses, El and Palanti. El jumped off the wall to open the gates, letting his team in, and then quickly closed the gates again. Behind their butts was a group of unexplained Earthwalker troops, which was not to be careless.

By the time the mountain hunters climbed the walls to control the defenses, the Flame Hounds had already appeared outside the city. Probably out of awe of the tall walls of Istalon, they only looked out from afar and did not come close, but for these monsters with very different thinking logic from humans, no one could guarantee that they would not take risks.

"Cheer up! Those bugs are gathering people. The bed crossbow is wound, the trebuchet is ready!" shouted Ahmed as he walked on the ramparts. The frightened soldiers of the city defense finally regained their morale under his command, and Isttalen's war machine began to run slowly.

"GLP, Anderson, Shet...... Where have all these goddamn bastards gone?...... I don't think something is right," Ahmed grumbled under his breath as he walked up to El's side. The chaos on the walls here has been restored, while the wolf smoke in other directions has not stopped. In contrast, the city of Isttalon has an eeriely quiet atmosphere, which does not look like a mutiny has taken place at all.

But if it was just an accident, how can we explain the mass disappearance of the top military leaders?

Even Ahmed didn't know why, and El was even more confused. He climbed to the top of the tower, gathered the power of the runes into his eyes, and looked as far as he could.

His gaze in the direction of Eastalen's east gate was affected, where there seemed to be violent fluctuations in magic. On the other side, he saw the inner city gate slowly open, and a very familiar figure rode out. Behind her, a large crimson uniform stood out in the sunlight, and it was a public college student.
