Section 824 Battle Alert

With the strong support of the old evil, the dwarven digging work went very smoothly, and they were digging in about a hundred locations at the same time, with a dozen dwarven miners in each place, and dozens of other warriors to help. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a large-scale burrowing work naturally caused a series of chaos at the dreadnought castle. Due to the digging of holes, traffic was cut off from traffic in several streets, and many shops were demolished and turned into construction sites. Tens of thousands of people's lives have been affected.
Fortunately, Constani, the real city lord, rushed back in time to wipe the old evil's ass, and while she appeased those people, she helped them relocate, and also gave some benefits of her actual surname, which calmed down the people's grievances.
The old evil naturally didn't care about these civil, so he left them all to Constani to deal with, and as for himself, he devoted himself to the work of excavation.
Seeing that the old evil was so concerned, Kapie also knew that the incident was not trivial, and he did not dare to have the slightest slackness, so he urged his subordinates to dig hard. The old evil sees that they are so attentive, digging hands and feet are about to bleed, and they really appreciate it, every day is naturally the hospitality of big fish and meat, of course, fine wine is indispensable, it is simply an endless supply, as long as it does not delay things, drink it casually.
With such a bold reward, the dwarven miners, who were still a little emotional, immediately changed their attitudes and began to work wholeheartedly for the old evil.
In this case, the progress of the excavation is surprisingly fast, and more than ten meters down every day. You know, this depth can all be dug by ability, each pit has a diameter of two or three meters, straight downward, during which the four walls have to be reinforced, very hard. If it weren't for the master miners of the dwarf clan, there would be no way for others to dig it out.
As time passed, the pits were dug deeper and deeper, and a large amount of earth was dug out, piled up everywhere, and finally formed small hills, many of which were piled directly on the road, greatly hindering the operation of traffic. In addition, the dwarven miners worked around the clock, making a lot of noise at night, making it so noisy that people around them could not sleep well, so the people in the city complained.
The old evil naturally didn't care about this, he just needed speed, but Constani couldn't ignore it, so she had to come forward again to appease him, and at the same time ask someone to transport the piled up earth and stones outside the city. If it were a different person, I was afraid that I would have been impatient to talk to the old evil for a long time, but Constantine was worthy of being the old evil's most trusted helper, she knew why the old evil was so anxious, so she didn't drag her feet at all, just silently helped the old evil sort out the hands and feet behind her, and never said a word of complaint.
Although the old evil has no time to do more scruples during the busy period, he also sees this support from Constani in his eyes and keeps it in his heart, and plans to repay her well in the future.

As time passed, the pit became deeper and deeper, and the speed of the dwarves gradually decreased, especially after exceeding 200 meters, and they could only dig several meters deep every day, which was less than half the speed of the previous one. The old evil saw that his speed slowed down, and he was a little irritable, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do. Because when digging a hole, the excavated soil should be pulled up from below with a basket, and the hole can be pulled out in a few strokes when the hole is shallow, but after more than 200 meters, it takes a long time to pull the soil once, which naturally delays the efficiency of digging the hole.
Fortunately, the old evil is a reasonable person, and he knows that the slowdown is not because the dwarves are lazy, so he is not angry with Kapie and the others. Just urging them to speed up as much as possible.
Kapie was worried that the old evil would blame him for slowing down, but what he was waiting for was the old evil's understanding and support. This made them very moved, and vowed to help the old evil dig up the ruins.

While the old evil was digging the ruins, the encirclement and suppression of the Holy Dragon Kasia and Tustaman was also going on in an intense and orderly manner. As waves of demons were captured, a large number of demon captives were sold to other planes, in exchange for a large number of supplies for the old evil, which somewhat filled his deficit during the war.
However, demons are demons after all, even if they are scattered, the best of them are not willing to admit defeat easily, they always try their best to hide, and they really can't hide it, so they brazenly launch an attack to destroy the surname. I'd rather die in battle than be sold as a slave.
Although there are not many demons with such strong blood, once multiplied by the huge base number of demons, an extremely large number will appear.
At the end of the day, these crazy guys all behaved like madmen, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. In just one month, more than a dozen towns were destroyed by fierce fighting between them and the coalition forces. Although the men died at the hands of Tustaman and Kasia, they were unable to undo the great loss.
Even the old evil, who is bent on the cause of excavating the ruins, can hear such negative news from time to time. If it were in normal times, the old evil would definitely go into battle in person immediately and teach these bastards a good lesson. But now, the matter of the ruins is more important than anything else, so no matter how annoyed the old evil is, he can only leave the matter to Tustaman and Kasia, while he himself can only stay here and take care of the excavation. This made the old evil, who had already itchy hands, a little depressed. However, when the old evil was depressed, something happened to come to the door.
~~~~I~~~~~ is ~~~~~ silver~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On this morning, the old evil was patrolling the various potholes, one to see if anyone was lazy, and the other was looking forward to finding the ruins at any time.
But when the old evil had just finished walking around and was about to return home, a hurried alarm bell suddenly sounded. First, a bell rang from the City Lord's Mansion, followed by dozens of large bells around it, and the rapid sound of the bell soon spread throughout the entire Dreadnought Fort. All of a sudden, the peace of the place was shattered, and countless people came out of the houses to ask what was going on. However, the armed forces of the city were quickly assembled, and groups of heavily armed warriors appeared in the city, some for policing, some for defending the walls, and some for driving around several important buildings to protect these strongholds.
When the old evil heard the alarm bell ringing, he was stunned. You must know that in the more than ten years since the establishment of the Intrepid Fort, except for being disturbed at the beginning, it has not been knocked on the door for almost ten years. Even the fierce horse thieves around him, at most, were engaged in robbing the merchants, and they never posed a threat to the dreadnought.
One is because the city defense here is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other is because the defense force here is too strong. Under the cooperation and cultivation of the old evil and Blue Fake, there is a swarm of demonic explosion spiders on the periphery of Dreadnought Castle, and a group of thunderbirds and bipedal wyverns inside, and they alone can withstand an army of 100,000. Coupled with the masters of all ethnic groups in the city, the city defense of Dreadnought Fort is definitely the first in the mainland. In this case, only an idiot will come and attack it. Especially now, with the arrival of the legendary master of the old evil, the defense power of this place has reached a higher level, where can ordinary thieves shake it?
But such a strong city defense still made the always steady Constani feel inadequate, so that he had to issue an alarm to officially prepare for war, which really made the old evil a little confused. Who is so capable? Can you scare my baby like this?
With such a question, the old evil immediately hurried to the city lord's mansion with people. When the old evil came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, he saw an anxious Constani waiting for him. He immediately flew over and smiled, "Honey, what is going on, is it worth all the fuss you make?"
"It's not a big fuss, it's really a big deal!" Constantine hurriedly explained, "The Burning Legion is coming!"
"En?" When the old evil heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile: "You're not joking, are you? Those guys have already been defeated, and now they are just a group of roving robbers, so there is no need to worry at all, they can't hide from me, how dare they blatantly attack here? Isn't that looking for death?"
"I don't know why, but I've received word that a powerful Burning Legion is heading towards the plane, and will arrive in about two hours!" Konstani hurriedly explained.
"Oh, is it?" the old evil said strangely when he heard it, "Where did you get the news?"
"It's news from one of our guards!" said Konstani hurriedly.
"Guards?" When the old evil heard this, he became even more confused, and said with a strange face: "Aren't your guards the elite who protect the City Lord's Mansion?
"That's right!" Constani explained, "Yesterday we received a magical distress signal from a caravan, and I thought they had been attacked by horse thieves, so I could rescue them. So I urgently mobilized a squadron of guards with the highest mobility and combat effectiveness to rescue them. I thought it was just a trifle and didn't tell you!"
As he spoke, Constani looked at the old evil nervously. You must know that privately mobilizing troops is taboo in other places, although there are not many of them, and the situation is urgent, but at least you should report to the old evil city lord afterwards. But Constani knew that the old evil didn't care about these trivial matters, and he was busy looking for ruins, so he didn't bother him with this matter. In Constani's opinion, the matter would soon be over, and as long as the guards drove away the horse thieves and returned, everything would be fine, and he really couldn't afford to be troubled by it.
"En!" The old evil also knew that Constani was afraid that he would be upset so he didn't say it, so he didn't blame her, just smiled slightly, and said, "It's right if you didn't tell me, I don't bother to pay attention to this kind of trivial matter." ”
When Constani heard this, she was relieved, and then she smiled bitterly: "I thought it was just a small thing, but I didn't think it would become a big thing!"
"What's the big deal?" the old evil immediately asked curiously.
"I just received a magic message from that team, and it turns out that it wasn't ordinary horse thieves who attacked the caravan, but a group of powerful demons. The caravan's combat effectiveness was simply vulnerable compared to theirs, so it was completely wiped out shortly after sending a distress signal. And the guards I sent were also confronted by that demon army, and they were no match for them, and they did not escape the fate of the total annihilation! Fortunately, their captain was very knowledgeable and passed this important information back before he died, otherwise we might have been caught off guard by those guys!" explained Constani.
"I see!" The old evil then understood, and immediately asked again, "How strong is the other party?" Why did you immediately raise the alarm as soon as you heard the message?"
The captain said that the number of the other party was not very large, less than 10,000. But the strength is super powerful, except for a few hundred abyss demons, the others are all Burning Knights, the number is no less than eight thousand!" Constantine smiled bitterly: "I really don't know where these guys came from!"
"There were more than 100,000 Abyss Demons who were scattered last time, and there are even more Burning Knights, so it's not surprising that such a remnant of a defeated army can break here!" The old evil nodded, and then said with a smile: "Oh, I happened to be upset by the digging of the hole recently, and I wanted to find something to do, but I didn't want this group of guys to take the initiative to send it to the door." Then I can't be polite!" As he spoke, the old evil rubbed his hands vigorously and put on a look of longing to fight.
Seeing this, Constani couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Stephen, your current status, I'm afraid you can't be allowed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person!"
"Cut, go to its bullshit identity!" "Lao Xie said directly disdainfully: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to this, I just need to be cool myself!"
"Oh, my God!" Konstani suddenly felt powerless when she heard this, she covered her forehead with her hand, and said with a wry smile: "Stephen, you are now the savior of the whole continent, the king of the continent without an official title. Therefore, you must know how to measure your every move, otherwise you will be laughed at!"
"Haha!" When the old evil heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Constantine, you don't understand this, the big husband should only ask for a clear conscience, and don't care about anything else." Like now, do you think I'm going to care about the ridicule of the boring people, and they don't deserve to be me, to put it mildly!"
"Uh~" Konstani was stunned for a moment, and then understood. So he smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, indeed, your future is limitless, and there is really nothing worth caring about in those gossips! However, I still think it's better for you not to take action personally, after all, the other party's strength is not low, and in that group of abyss demons, maybe there is a demon lord hidden, if you go on your own, maybe you will encounter danger." Besides, there are so many masters here, there is no need for you to take risks, right?"
"But I just like it!" the old evil then laughed, "Okay, okay, don't you persuade it, isn't it just a bunch of smashing? Even if there is a demon lord, I don't care about it!"
"But~" Constani frowned and spoke, but was interrupted by the impatient old evil wave: "Okay, okay, this matter is settled, those guys will come in a while, you just have to watch the excitement in the city, and leave the rest to me!"
"Alright!" Constani knew that the old evil had a problem with saying everything, and since he had said it, there was obviously no room for change. So she didn't stop it anymore, but said with concern: "Then you should be careful!"
"Don't worry, I'm not even afraid of the evil gods, and I still care about their scum?" After the old evil finished speaking, he directly took Constani and turned around and went straight to the city wall.
~~~~I~~~~~ is ~~~~~ silver~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About two hours later, the old demon, who was bored at the east gate of the dreadnought castle, suddenly saw a black cloud appear in the distance, and hundreds of abyssal demons were hiding in it. Below them, there was a rapidly moving stream of dust and sand, and it was clear that a large number of knights were galloping.
Looking at the increasingly clear and terrifying faces of the demons in the distance, many guys in the dreadnought castle who had not been tested by the fire of war began to twitch, and many people were whispering about what they should do if Stephen failed?
In the face of such a group of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the old evil didn't even bother to waste the strength to scold, and directly ignored it. Just focused on the battle that was about to begin.
The group of demons was obviously not fuel-efficient lamps either, and they didn't rush over blindly, but stopped a few hundred meters away from the dreadnought. Then he took a closer look at the castle and was somewhat taken aback.
The reason is simple, because the city defense of Dreadnought is so good, not only is the city tall and strong, but it is also equipped with the largest number and best quality ballista in the whole continent. Their main component is the pulley bow invented by the old evil, which was invented after a period of research and modification. This is the most suitable thing to use when defending a city, and can inflict horrific casualties on the attacking troops.
In addition, the people standing at the head of the city also put great pressure on them, whether it was the elf clan, or the beast clan, or the dwarf clan, they all sent a lot of masters, and many of them were not under the strength of ordinary abyss demons. With them involved in the defense, Dreadnought is definitely an impregnable wall.
In the face of such a terrible city defense, the demons didn't have much to do, they knew that the price of hard fighting would definitely be very bad, so they came up with another siege method, that is, the Radical Technique!
After some deliberation on the other side, an abyss demon appeared at the front of the Burning Knight, and then shouted to the old evil and the others inside: "You humble guys have told me, immediately surrender your weapons and surrender, we can spare you from dying, if you dare to refuse our kindness, then what awaits you will be our slaughter of the city!"
