Chapter Seventy-Four: In the Dark
Regardless of the matter of the young girl in Kanas, Mo Yan in Santos was ready to return to the surface, and Elan's current situation did not allow him to spend too much time underground. Perhaps during the time he was with Santos, the battle for Elan had broken out, so he needed to return to Thunder Bluff immediately.
In the past few days in Santos, Mo Yan has learned some things, and now Elan is a blind spot in the eyes of the gods. A force never seen before enveloped Elam, making it impossible for the gods' senses to reach it. Even in Elan's underground, this power is still very strong, so that the Goddess of Pain can only send a Chosen Warrior to come here with a special Augmentation Stone to investigate the reason for the blockade here.
This news made Mo Yan a little strange, because the time when the Goddess of Pain said that she could not see Elan started when the last rainy season had just begun, and that time happened to be the time when Mo Yan came to this world. This made Mo Yan a little suspicious that the so-called unknown power originated from himself.
But then Mo Yan denied this idea again, because if he was the source of unknown power. Then even the Chosen Warrior with the Augmentation Stone should not be able to contact the Goddess of Pain. Moreover, the Goddess of Pain did not show any weirdness after seeing Mo Yan, which also showed that the power that interested the gods was not exuded by Mo Yan.
After thinking about it for a short time, Mo Yan, who couldn't think of a reason because of the scarcity of information he had, decided to put this issue aside for now. After all, this problem has no effect on himself, and the existence of this power is beneficial to him, which will make the gods who cannot observe Elan not know that there is a powerful minotaur here.
According to Mo Yan's consideration, it is best for such a power to continue forever, and even if it cannot last, then Mo Yan hopes that this power can be maintained until he rules the entire Elam. After all, letting the gods watch will still make Mo Yan still have a lot of pressure in doing things. Mo Yan, who could not understand the power of the gods, was currently wary of the existence of gods.
And during the time when Mo Yan returned to the surface from the dungeon, Elan's situation also changed a lot as Mo Yan expected. The leaders of the three forces, after considering the strategic proposal submitted by Mo Yan, all believed that this was a very feasible approach.
So Ankud sent 3,000 men to Lobito to take over Santa Fe's defensive area. Santa Fe's warriors, on the other hand, passed through Caldera from the southwest, attacking the city west of the city of Parliament to support Azera and dissolve the city. Because the legion guarding the vicinity of Caldera was a combined legion of several coup cities.
There was no co-ordination between them, and the Combined Legions, which were fighting separately and were far smaller in number than the Santa Fe Legions, broke up and fled to their respective cities after only three hundred losses. An attempt to take advantage of the city's walls, as well as the resistance of other soldiers who remained in the city.
And the Santa Fe regiment, which lost only more than fifty men, had a simple rest after a night of pursuit. Gather the fighters who were scattered by the night pursuit, and start cooking and resting the fighters who had been fighting for a long time. Next, according to Santa Fe's plan, they were to attack the first city occupied by the putschists.
Although in the first engagement, they had already noticed that the morale of the opposing fighters was low, and many defected to Santa Fe's legions. However, the siege of the city should still not be underestimated, and if the number of the enemy does not exceed five or six times that of the enemy, it will be a difficult thing to attack the city. Therefore, they have to make sure that their warriors are in the best condition so that they can take the city more smoothly.
After a day's rest and receiving a shipment of Aliba's supplies, Santa Fe's legion headed for their first target city. Along the way, Santa Fe is joined by a steady stream of warriors who will fight to end the rule of the putschists.
After reaching the first target city, Santa Fe's team not only replenished the original losses, but even expanded the number of soldiers by nearly a hundred people. This made the soldiers of the expedition more confident, as can be seen from the defectors and the new soldiers. These ambitious putschists only won a temporary victory, and the people did not side with them.
The Santa Fe warriors, whose morale could not be increased, fought extremely bravely in the next siege. After climbing the city wall for the first time, he was never driven down. A steady stream of soldiers from the open gaps climbed the walls of the target city to purge the soldiers defending the city.
In the end, it is not known who handed over their weapons first, and the soldiers defending the city walls threw down their weapons and surrendered. It took only two days for the Santa Fe Legion to leave Caldera and start fighting the rebels to capture the first city. This speed is like a resounding slap in the face, waking up those who are still immersed in sweet dreams.
Before the Santa Fe Legion could capture the castle in the city, the putschists in the first target city were hanged outside the castle walls. It made all the coup d'état realize how dangerous their situation really was. They are unpopular, and once the power in their hands weakens, then someone will immediately take their lives.
At this rate, the coup d'état west of the city of Parliament would be put down in less than half a month. At that time, only the Azella-controlled side of the Council City will be left, and no matter what method is used, he will not be able to return to the sky. Once the fifteen thousand warriors left the council city, their advantage was lost.
After a day's siege, Santa Fe's warriors celebrated their victory, and the taverns, barracks, and makeshift houses of the city were filled with drunken Salts. Although it is not a good habit, it is a tradition of the Sarts to drink once after a victory.
In this way, they celebrate their victories and remember the senseless warriors who died in battle and went to the temple of the god of war. The Salts believed that drunken trance was the closest they could get to the Temple of War, and they would celebrate with the fallen warriors.
As night wore on, the streets of the city were filled with staggering Salt warriors, too drunk to return to their resting place. The earth-shattering snoring came and went like war drums, and the snoring of the drunken Salts was famous even in the countries of the Central Plains, and perhaps only the equally drunk dwarves could be compared.
"I really can't figure out how these Salts, who have such poor military discipline, managed to capture the city. An assassin in pitch-black leather armor, squatting on the roof of a house and looking down at the street below, said with some disdain as a snoring Saltt warrior: "If this was in the country of the Central Plains, these people would have died a long time ago. ”
"If it weren't for the terrain and the monsters. The Assassin's equally well-armed companion smiled and said, "These barbarians have long been conquered by us, and haven't all the battles in history been lost for these reasons?
"Quiet. A man who appeared to be the commander of the Assassin squad saw a patrol of Salts approaching, and whispered to his men who were talking.
"From now on we are in the target area. After the patrol had walked away, the man turned to the twelve Assassins crouching on the roof and said, "As we have done countless times, no one is allowed to speak during the operation. And if you get caught, I think you know what to do. All the black-clad assassins nodded when they heard the man's words, and put a black area on their faces without saying a word.
Such a black mask not only allows them to better hide in the darkness and complete the tasks they need to complete. It is even more inlaid with a special pill in the mouth inside the mask. Once these assassins are caught, they will immediately bite down the pill and swallow it. The poison made by the alchemists would kill them in an instant.
The man saw that all his subordinates were ready, as if he sensed something, and looked around, but he didn't find anything that could be done, and finally attributed the strange feeling to his own delusion. So he stood up and ran swiftly towards the castle, twelve of his men following him closely, moving swiftly and silently.
They are the shadows in the shadows, the daggers of the emperor in the darkness. Where they appear, blood will flow. They are the Assassin forces of the Shadows.
"Discover the target. "On a roof not far from the Men in Black, ten Assassins in the same black stepped out of hiding and ran after the Shadow Assassins. A small cloak on the left shoulder, and a hood that resembles a hawkbeak, hides their figures and faces.
