Chapter 180: The Bridge Halfway
The alarm has long sounded in the city of the abyss, and groups of soldiers began to change their guards, these soldiers who sleep during the day and prepare to fight at night will replace those soldiers who have been staring at the day for a day, and meet the enemy in the best state, but their cultivation is not high, although they received the alarm, they can't see any movement, but some alien races with good eyesight, such as the werewolves in the orcs and the nocturnal elves of the elves, have found abnormalities.
"What's the situation?" A human squad leader's eyes widened, and he couldn't see anything, and there was a werewolf next to him, who was watching intently, and when he heard the chief's question, the werewolf turned his head and said: "It's a lot of insects that are very easy to die, and they seem to be building a path, and now they have advanced about ten meters forward." As for the werewolf's accuracy, the team leader didn't care, and even quickly found the key point.
"What does it mean to be particularly susceptible to death?
The werewolf nodded, and the elf next to him spoke: "This kind of insect does not exist in the cognition of the elf, there are so many of them, you can't see the source, these insects only have a survival time of twenty breaths after they come out, if the survival time is so short, why do they still exist? I really don't understand." "The Night Elves are different from other elven races, although they also have a pair of pointed ears, they prefer to act in the dark, and they have extremely strong night vision, making them a very good scout race.
"Twenty breaths of survival time, are they fast?" The team leader suddenly thought of a point, and the elf nodded and said, "Not very fast, but much faster than a human run." โ
"One breath can run about ten meters, and twenty breaths is two hundred meters, if you calculate according to the 200-meter standard...... How far is the demon camp from the edge of the abyss?" the team leader asked again, and the elf glanced at it and said, "Ten miles away, although they are not out of the attack range of the magic cannon, they still retreat relatively far. โ
"So, these bugs appear out of nowhere, that is, they first appear in ...... Underground!" The squad leader who got this inference immediately ran to his commander and reported his inference, and the commander thought about it and reported it, and rewarded the squad leader with two silver coins, and when the news came, Pi Bogu also happened to come to this conclusion.
"Was it inferred by a squad leader?" the newly appointed commander-in-chief asked with a frown, and the deputy regiment commander in charge of reporting nodded and said, "Yes, it was my regiment's squad leader Jimmy who was stationed in the sixth defense section that thought of it. Pi Baogu nodded and said: "It is rare to be able to convey it all the way, no one grabs the credit, this kind of inference ability is useful in the General Staff, let him go to your General Staff, no problem, right?" โ
"Is it because of his origin and rank?" Pi Baogu's brows furrowed, but the chief of staff shook his head and said: "His ability is instinct, I agree with it, but his professional ability is very lacking, the staff is short of people, he can come, but the war will not give him a chance to learn." The words were very pertinent, and Pi Baogu was about to speak, but the deputy regiment commander suddenly spoke: "Minister, Jimmy, the leader of my regiment, is a survivor of the last defensive war, and you may be able to use his instincts. Pi Baogu glanced at the deputy head of the regiment, but turned around and asked, "What's your name?"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, I'm Francis, the deputy head of the War Bear Legion. After saying this, Francis gave Pi Bogu a military salute, and Pi Bogu also replied and asked, "How is the commander of the War Bear Legion recovering now?" He is a great commander, but he is a little strict, and everything else is fine. โ
Francis was stunned for a moment and then sneered: "The regiment leader is recuperating in the rear, and he is about to heal, and he will definitely arrive within ten days." Pi Baogu nodded and said: "You are also a great soldier, don't compete with your subordinates, very good, since the staff doesn't want it, then the commander wants it, let Jimmy come and report." โ
Everyone present was stunned, what was Pi Baogu doing, and a team leader wanted him to worry about it? Even if he wanted to be nepotistic, he couldn't do it so obviously, right? Especially the head of the General Staff was even more embarrassed, Pi Baogu just said this, but he was very unceremonious and gave him a slap.
"Sir, isn't it a ...... for you to do this? Unsafe?" The chief of staff's face was already obviously displeased, and when he said this, it was a little unkind, Pi Baogu turned his head and glanced at it and said: "It's not safe? Then why didn't the staff think of this result? A question that a squad leader can think of, but the entire staff department hasn't come up with it, do you think it's unsafe? The big war is coming, what is the duty of the staff, to provide me with the right choice as the commander-in-chief, but this news is actually from a squad leader, and his face is lost, what face do you want?" I didn't directly remove you as a minister, I already gave you face, don't know what to do!"
This scolding of the people present was stupid, especially the minister of the staff raised his finger and pointed at Pi Baogu's lips trembling and speechless, but Pi Baogu narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Put away your so-called aristocratic etiquette, this is the battlefield, survival is the most important thing, the enemy is cold, because tens of millions of soldiers fought bloodily, not you can say dead as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, and then I will cut off your head!"
After speaking, he took out the long sword on his waist and threw it on the table in front of him, the wooden table could not withstand the huge force at all, and exploded directly.
At this time, everyone's strange mouth was closed, and Francis tiptoed back, and soon came to Pibaugu with this team leader, Jimmy didn't dare to look up, just lowered his head and pinched his fingers, when he heard someone call him, he immediately knelt down with a puff, and his body trembled like chaff, Pibaugu helped him up, and then said with a smile: "From now on, you are one of my guards, understand?" Jimmy nodded and jumped directly from the squad leader to the commander-in-chief's guard, which was a bit too shocking, so he didn't react for a while, and Pi Baogu didn't care, and directly focused on the battlefield.
From the beginning of the report to the present, the opposite edge has advanced at least ten meters, and has begun to see the prototype of the extension, first poking out a part, and then constantly reinforcing the bottom, so that it can become a main body with the Luohong Abyss, and the continuous widening of the bottom means that it can withstand farther bridges, if calculated at this speed, it is not impossible for the demons to build a bridge to the city wall, but the defensive city wall is too far away from here, and the insects on the opposite side can't reach it at all, and the endless wave can't be cut off from the root, that is, to think of a way undergroundใ
"What the hell is this?" Pi Baogu was puzzled, but he heard the person next to him suddenly exclaim, and then a terrifying coolness instantly swept the entire command headquarters, thinking that it was an enemy attack, Pi Baogu directly pulled Jimmy to the wall, but then there was no damage to his body, and at this time he turned his head and saw that on the magic guide position, a steaming black fog rose, actually covering the entire position, in the thick black fog, there was actually a faint sound of screaming, which made people feel creepy.
At this time, Lin Nian, who was originally stationed in the position, suddenly appeared at the door, looking at the shocked look of everyone, Lin Nian first smiled and then said, "That should be a queen ant." โ
Queen?
"Can you see the body?" Pi Baogu was stunned, but Lin Nian shook his head and said: "This Jimmy's speculation just now is consistent with mine, a very simple reasoning, as long as you have good eyesight, you can see clearly, under the ground opposite, there should be a mother who specializes in giving birth to this kind of insect, and there is more than one, otherwise, it will not be fully spread." Lin Nian's words made the minister of the staff embarrassed again, in the staff of the Ron Empire, all of them are human races, in terms of eyesight, it is indeed not as good as the elf race and the other races among the orcs, but being preached by a human race, it is still somewhat ear hot.
"The key is how long the mother can last, and if it can continue to give birth like this, it won't take until dawn to build a bridge between them and the city walls. As soon as Lin Nian finished speaking, the chief of staff immediately retorted: "But they are being built so slowly, how can they just come over?"
Lin Nian rolled his eyes, looked at the minister of the staff like an idiot and said: "Because they still have the death spider, if it weren't for the distance, the death spider would have already been on the field, as long as half of the construction is completed, the spider silk of the death spider will be able to reach the city wall, which means the beginning of the big war, understand?"
Pi Baogu frowned and directly waved his hand to stop the chief of staff who still wanted to speak, and said with a heavy face: "Since you also see it this way, do you have any good ways?" Lin Nian shook his head and said: "The demon clan is bound to win, there is no good way to do this, unless you can hold on to the next attack of the magic guide cannon." โ
"For how long?"
"Three days. Lin Nian calculated and gave about the same time, Pi Baogu nodded in agreement, the matter has been verified, Lin Nian was about to go back, but was stopped by Pi Baogu, just as Pi Baogu was about to speak, the alarm had already sounded.
Both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then they all thought about the position of the demon clan, and a large black shadow moved rapidly in the moonlight, and the sound of the thick arthropods hitting the ground came and went, forming a sound wave, which came straight to the abyss.
The wide bridge built by the worms extended ten meters forward, so that the silk of the death spider could get the city wall, which meant that the bitter battle was coming!
