Crime and Punishment Chapter 2 Crime and Punishment in

readx;

With a total height of nearly three thousand meters, the part close to the ground is only a few tens of kilometers in circumference. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info in the endless wasteland, it is like a giant pillar, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

It's a pity that it is this arrogance that brings it destruction.

On the ground around Yunxiao Peak, there are more than ten well-protected huge earthen forts around at this moment. Underneath the earthen fort, 50,000 dwarven warriors are taking turns to fight, digging the tunnels leading to the underground of Yunxiao Peak day and night. The ground of Yunxiao Peak is all hard rock, but this is not a problem at all for dwarves who are used to hollowing out a rocky mountain. Within a few days, more than a dozen tunnels had converged at the bottom of Yunxiao Peak, and then countless branch tunnels used to detect the terrain structure under Yunxiao Peak began to extend in all directions like spider webs.

The 50,000 dwarven slave warriors were all handpicked by Alexander, and at least half of them were skilled engineers, and several of them were great engineers who had designed entire dwarven underground cities. Backed by the abundant power of the Asrofik Empire, the dwarves now use even better tools than they did in the days of the Dwarven Empire. Now there are hundreds of mages working with the dwarves.

Therefore, the crazy plan to dig up the city of clouds from the ground is progressing surprisingly fast.

In the first few days, the druid warriors in the city of Cloudnight, under the leadership of the elders, also tried to sneak attack from the lower peak. But they were greeted by a rain of arrows, spears, and a deadly axe. After leaving behind more than 100 corpses, the druids had to flee back to the city of Cloudy. They don't even know why they were found out by the other party.

The Heavenly Fury, the guardian magic of Cloudnight City, cannot penetrate the thick layers of earth and rock, so it is not at all helpless to penetrate the dwarven tunnels deep underground. Alexander's army was stationed outside the area of the Sky Fury, and the troops used to protect the tunnels and monitor Yunxiao Peak were under the strict protection of the War Priests. Even if the Sky Fury rained down from the City of Cloudy, it would only be able to kill and injure dozens of warriors, which was completely more than worth the loss compared to the amount of mana consumed by this magic. At the time of the collapse of the mountain, Cloudnight City needs a lot of magic to keep the city intact and the safety of its warriors. As a result, the druids never attacked Alexander's army again, nor did they use the wrath of the sky, leaving the dwarves to dig at the bottom of the peak.

Every morning, Rogge, along with Alexander and Pompey, would gaze at the city of clouds hidden in the sky.

Druids could never have waited so quietly to die. This was something they all knew, but they didn't know what the druids were planning in the Cloudy City.

These days, they have a new problem.

Three days ago, the Emperor's edict full of anger had been sent to the military camp under Yunxiao Peak. However, Pompey and Alexander ignored this edict, and only wanted to stabilize the envoy on the one hand, and secretly stepped up the progress of digging the tunnel.

But before the first messenger could sit down, the second messenger had arrived.

This time, the edict was more severe, and the envoys were more resolute in urging them to withdraw from the army.

On the third day, another messenger arrived in the barracks. This time, he brought with him an edict written by the Emperor himself, ordering Pompey and Alexander to withdraw their troops immediately, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Alexander, Pompey, and Rogge knew that it would take at least twenty days to dig up such a peak as the City of Cloud. The three of them were all ruthless and decisive people, and after some discussion, they secretly sent a team of light horsemen to patrol the road to Yanjing, in order to kill the subsequent imperial envoys and their retinue without leaving any behind.

As for the murderer, blaming the druid couldn't be easier.

As for the three envoys in the barracks, they were all confined to a small remote camp and were not allowed to enter or leave at will. Pompey and Alexandria bribed heavily and secretly threatened. And these envoys' lives hung in the balance, so they were naturally frightened and silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

It seems that the Emperor was extremely angry at their unauthorized actions, and Rogge, who had just entered the imperial political arena, could not help but be a little worried. Pompey and Alexander, however, were calm and unfazed.

"The Emperor is urging us to hurry up, and he is already impatient. Alexander comforted Rogge.

In just twenty days, the dwarves had completed the work under Yunxiao Peak. They didn't need to hollow out the entire Yunxiao Peak, as long as they could throw it off balance.

It is far easier to destroy than to build, and in the eyes of the dwarves, it is much less difficult to simply bring down such a mountain than to build a dungeon in the middle of the mountain.

During this short period of time, Rogge felt a little idle. He had to visit Androni once a day. On the one hand, he is concerned about her recovery from her injuries, and on the other hand, he takes advantage of her weak body to get a little dew.

Floya is busy concocting new magic potions every day, and occasionally becomes very close to Rogge. She can always easily hook the fat man's lust and lust, and then find a way to escape.

It's just that once she really couldn't escape, and when she saw that Rogge was about to move seriously, she exclaimed: "Don't!"

Rogge smiled: "Do you know now that you regret it? It's too late!"

Floya stared at Rogge, lay down on her back, closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, and said coldly: "Then come!"

Rog leaned forward slightly, and Floya immediately shuddered. Although she seemed to be indifferent on the surface, the five fingers of her right hand had quietly grasped the bed.

But the goblin waited for a long time, but there was no other movement.

When Floya opened her eyes, she saw Roger with her hand on her jaw, admiring her beautiful face from a very close distance, but with a little banter in her eyes.

"What are you waiting for?" Rogge asked with a smile.

Although the little goblin was very powerful, he couldn't help but have a flush on his face, which made Rogge's heart move.

She pushed Rogge desperately, but she couldn't move, so she had to say, "Get out of the way!"

Of course, Rogge wouldn't let it, but just smiled and asked, "How can you be willing to accompany me?"

The little goblin smiled and said, "This sentence is pretty much the same. Actually, it's very simple to want me to be willing! Either you fall in love with me, or you can find a way to make me fall in love with you, and you can take one of them. ”

After saying that, she finally struggled out from under Rogge, straightened her clothes, and said, "Dead fatty, don't always think about taking advantage of me! This kind of thing, you must be willing to be happy!"

Rogge laughed and said, "This kind of thing, when you are reluctant, I may be happier!"

Floya's body trembled slightly, and then, like a frightened rabbit, hurried out of the door.

In the past few days, for some reason, Feng Die's mood has become extremely unstable. The dark power in her body was climbing day after day, and correspondingly, the primal instincts in her body became extremely strong. Every night, she had to linger wildly with Rogge before she could fall into the deepest sleep.

Looking at the wind butterfly who was similar to the past, Rogge couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The sleeping wind butterfly still has a stunning face, but the simple elf who rode the white tiger back then has long died in the world.

In the Northern Wasteland, both inside and outside the city, everyone was waiting for the moment when the City of Cloud Night collapsed.

As the scheduled decisive battle approached, the heartbeat of the hundreds of thousands of troops besieging Yunxiao Peak would quietly speed up a little every day. Most of the fighters were oblivious to this, and the few who were alert mostly attributed it to nervousness. Only a handful of people such as Rogge noticed that the atmosphere of the surrounding space had begun to become abnormal, but no matter how they observed, pondered, discussed, and probed, they could not find the cause of the anomaly, and they did not even have the slightest clue about the possible consequences of this anomaly.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

Rog had been nervous, but he knew he couldn't figure out the cause of the uneasiness.

In the faint fear, the moment of the decisive battle finally came.

In the early morning of the decisive battle, Rogge looked at the city of clouds in the distance, listening to the military horns one after another, but there was some expectation and relaxation in his heart.

Soon after Alexander's military order was passed down, there was a slight tremor in the earth. Immediately afterward, the tremor became more and more pronounced, and already the horses began to neigh lowly.

Rogge knew that this was on the east side of Yunxiao Peak, and hundreds of giant pillars supporting the ground were being blown down one by one. When all the giant stone pillars are blown off, the hollowed-out ground will no longer be able to bear the weight of Yunxiao Peak.

A loud bang came from afar, and a large area of mountains fell off the mountain peak on the east side of Yunxiao Peak, and countless boulders smashed to the ground in the smoke and dust!

At this time, even ordinary soldiers could see that the towering Yunxiao Peak was shaking!

Suddenly, after a deafening roar, no sound could be heard in the ears of more than 100,000 imperial soldiers!

The lonely Yunxiao Peak silently poured eastward, and yellow smoke and dust rose from the bottom of the peak, covering the ground in a radius of dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye. Boulders flutter in the dust, and sand and gravel fall like the Milky Way. The Yunxiao Peak in the tilt was suddenly shortened, and then the huge peak body broke into three sections in the air and slowly fell to the ground. The huge wind pressure stirred the smoke and dust out of the sky, and in the dust, even the tiniest gravel became as sharp as a knife!

In the face of this vision between heaven and earth, the power of all the strong is as small as an ant.

More than 100,000 soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles were deeply shocked by this unprecedented spectacular scene in front of them for a while.

Everything was going according to plan, and the direction in which Yun Xiaofeng fell was exactly as expected by the dwarven engineer.

"What's that?" Rogge exclaimed.

The falling Yunxiao City has come out of the clouds, revealing the true face of Cangxiong Qingqi.

At this time, the entire city in the sky was surrounded by huge electric light, which appeared mysterious, majestic, and imposing. But what shocked Rogge was that the city of clouds and nights slowly broke away from the mountain peak that was pouring to the east, and flew westward instead!

The city of clouds and nights turned out to be the city of flight?!

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the city to fly, and it began to fall diagonally to the ground. Looking at its landing point, it should still be in the encirclement of the imperial army.

At this time, the main forces of the imperial army were all placed in the east of Yunxiao Peak, and the defense in the west was much weaker. However, tens of thousands of elite Imperial soldiers can at least hold the druids out for a while.

The commander of the Western Fleet, a veteran of many battles, observed the flight path of the city for a while, estimated the distance, and immediately ordered the army to return to the camp and defend it with the help of the camp's defenses.

The city of Cloud Night will fall about a kilometer in front of the main camp, and even if the druid warriors are not shocked to death, if they want to escape, they will have to face the walls of the imperial army barracks. As long as the troops on the Western Front can hold out for a while, and when the army on the Eastern Front returns, it will be the end of the druid.

Pompey and Alexander each led a large army, bypassing the still collapsing Yunxiao Peak from both sides, and rushed to the place where the Yunxiao City fell.

Just when it was only a few hundred meters above the ground, Yunxiao City suddenly adjusted its angle, and instead of falling into the ground, it continued to fly forward, and the distance of the flight was much farther than the emperor [***] general expected.

Its final place turned out to be the camp of the emperor [***]!

The whole city left a deep ditch in the ground, and rushed diagonally into the emperor's [***] camp, completely destroying the entire military camp.

The roar like a gloomy thunder completely drowned out the faint screams under the Cloud Night City.

Tens of thousands of the most elite warriors of the emperor [***] were buried in the camp under the city of clouds.

Under a series of impacts, all the buildings on the periphery of Cloudnight City have been destroyed, revealing countless dark passages in the city. Strangely, the city of clouds and nights quietly stayed in the camp, allowing the army of the Empire to surround it.

None of the druid warriors took advantage of the opportunity to escape, and it seemed that the city had become a dead city, and the fall had been its last glory in the world.

Neither Pompey, Alexander, nor Rogge believed that things would be so simple. How could Sky Fury, if he had a way to keep an entire city in the air, to die so easily?

With a wave of Alexander's hand, a thousand warriors cautiously entered the city of clouds, gradually penetrating into the deep passages.

A moment later, faint sounds of fighting and screams suddenly sounded in the city of clouds. But it didn't take long for the city to be quiet again.

The warriors who went deep into the city of Yunxiao were never heard again.
