Volume 5 The Return of the King 301 The Twin Emperors
The escape was entirely due to my hard training and ...... in my early years Many later experiences. I'm not a magician, and I don't know that kind of teleportation skill, though I'd love to have it. I don't have any strange inventions to bless my life, all I can do is toss my legs as fast as I can, make my ears and eyes as sensitive as possible, and make my body more flexible.
Yes, I survived, I ran fast enough and dodged fast enough. All the remaining brothers died, and I was the only one left. It's not that I don't want to save them. I really didn't think to save them when I ran away, because ...... It was so urgent, so urgent that I didn't have any time or energy to think about anything else. I tried to save them when I escaped, but the bugs that chased me behind me made me exhausted.
I'm sure I didn't move things or walk around, at least I don't think I stepped on any traps, and I didn't wake up the two huge bugs, and I didn't lead them there, and I was running far away, but the bugs found the barracks not far away, and ...... They were attacked. I tried to run back to inform them, but the worms were blocking my way back.
I just watched the camp being ...... Engulf.
These bugs...... It's terrifying, those bugs are completely different from the bugs at the beginning of the war, these bugs have teeth that can tear people's flesh and skin in one bite, and the scouts with me are all leather or chain mail, but in front of them...... I've seen those bugs burrow into the bodies of those people, and there's nothing I can do about these fist-sized black bugs.
It's so absolute, I, just by the way I am now, I can only be drilled through my body or gnawed into a skeleton of bones by them. There are too many of them! The rustling sound that made during the crawling process makes my scalp tingle when I think about it now.
I ran back to base camp.
Vandal looked at me strangely, and before I could finish the matter, he jumped out of his chair when he saw the two men with big swords.
It jumped up, hit the table with too much force, and the cup on the table fell directly. His eyes went from disbelief to anger, and it took less than two seconds for him to look for me again to determine if he had actually seen the two guys.
I didn't expect him to react so violently, and he tossed over the table after I told him that the surging worms had completely destroyed the camp stationed at the edge of the cave. He was stunned when I said that the bugs had now burrowed under the sand.
He immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures, and the guy named Anaklos who heard my report was even more bitter. I thought they would blame me, but Vandal didn't. The final result of the discussion was that they had to walk through the center of Angela again, and they couldn't venture past the dunes, not even if they pretended to pass by to seduce the bugs. Only then did I know that Vandal had dealt with these two Zergs a thousand years ago, and these two people were none other than the supreme leader of the Bug Army here, the Emperor of the Angela Empire.
No wonder they speak Elvish!
A thousand years ago, when they clashed, the most terrible thing for these two men was to summon these bugs, these beetles caused them so much trouble that neither cavalry nor infantry could get close to them, and in the end, if it weren't for the four-colored dragons coming together, these bugs could drag down the elven legions. And now it seems that the dragon army can't come, only the yellow dragon stands alone.
Once the bugs are underground, they are hard to find, and the only thing they can do now is to reach the vicinity of the palace as quickly as possible, but to keep the bugs out will require a lot of oil, and then kill the two king bugs before the oil is extinguished. I didn't know if the bloodthirsty beetles wouldn't continue to attack them after they died, but that's all they could do.
And how many people to send?
Everyone looked at each other, and if there were fewer people sent, there was a high probability that they would be sent to death, and it seemed unnecessary to go all. In the end, it was decided to send 4,000 people!
Four thousand! Just for the sake of these two bug kings.
There were quite a few troops of 4,000 people, but everyone had no opinion. Not to mention the personnel needed for combat, there are quite a few people who just carry materials such as fire oil, explosives, artillery, etc. And who knows what will happen on the way. As for who should lead the team, Vandal volunteered, and he gritted his teeth and must kill these two guys with his own hands to pay tribute to his dead son.
The rest of the troops retreated to prevent the bugs from spotting them, and Vandal led the team into the deep cavern through the entrance to the temple that had been blown up and dug up. This time it was much faster and smoother. The minotaurs from the tribe provided very good help in transporting supplies.
Everything went well, 4,000 people entered the half-dug castle, in order to prevent insects from rushing in from the outside, four layers of defense were also made, fire oil was arranged in advance, once something happened outside, these four layers of fire wall will definitely be able to stop the progress of insects. We guess that no creature can penetrate more than a dozen meters of flames and still be full of combat power.
When they were ready, the soldiers, all silent, began to advance to the lower levels, and every eighty men were divided into regiments, and if one regiment could not support it, they went to the other. This means that you have to pile these two things to death if you take a pile of people, and I think that as long as these two things die, the bugs should not be too threatening.
But when we appeared at the entrance of the main hall, a huge eye appeared in front of us! The eyeball was more than ten meters high, and when I saw it, it was looking directly at us, and I clearly felt that it was looking at me, it was looking at me!
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears! This chilling feeling I haven't experienced for a long, long time!
"Uninvited guest!" I jerked my head when that voice sounded, and I was looking for the source of the sound.
"I felt you the last time you were here." It said, "You are here again, and I know you will come again!" ”
These words directly confused me.
"I see you, you're different from them." It says.
"Who are you!" I shouted. When I saw that everyone was turning their heads to look at me, I was stunned again. I turned my head to look at Vandal, and the look in his eyes told me he was angry.
"They can't hear it." The voice said, "I'm talking to you." ”
"Who are you!" I opened my eyes wide and looked at the huge eyeball in front of me.
"I've been here for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, before I found out...... The tens of thousands of years I waited for turned out to be waiting for you. ”
"What did you say?"
"Come on!" The long, deep voice floated in, "Come on! Let me take a good look at you! ”
I looked at Vandal and lowered my voice, "Did you hear something?" ”
"You just made a big mistake!" Vandal frowned.
"I heard a voice!"
"You shouldn't make that mistake in your quality." He was angry.
"I just ...... A voice was indeed heard. I said.
"He won't believe you." The voice spoke again, "You're doing it in vain. ”
His words made me close my mouth, and I raised my bow and arrow as I looked into the eyeball that was staring at me.
"Welcome." That was the last thing he said to me.
When my bow and arrow were shot at the eyeball, the eyeball disappeared, and the illusion disappeared, and everyone changed their minds at once. "Forward!" Vandal hurriedly ordered.
There was no light in the hall, the torches raised by the soldiers were the only light, and after a few steps the two huge wormmen appeared in front of us, still sitting upright. "Aim!" Vandal roared. Except for the sound of the bowstring being pulled apart, the sound of the musket being loaded.
"They're looking for their own death." The crisper voice said.
"There will be more blood this time!" The thick voice echoed.
"Fire!"
"Ahh The stout voice called out.
"Brother! I'm here to help you! With that crisp shout, the worm-man with the sword jumped over, and with lightning flashing around it, our warriors fell to the ground several times in an instant.
"Hah! You guys...... Can't escape...... The fate of death! It spat out the words as it attacked.
The guy who had been wounded by the musket bow and arrow just now finally relieved himself. He also rushed up screaming. "Sheep in the tiger's mouth! Sheep in the mouth of the tiger! ”
This group of eighty people was instantly crushed by these two monsters. Not only were those two things huge, but they were terrifying when they wielded their great swords, and all the soldiers who couldn't dodge would be cut in half.
The thick-voiced fellow raised his sword and threw it at our warriors, and the soldier who raised his shield took two blows at most before falling straight to his stomach, and the force was not enough to describe the attack.
"Aim! Aim for that guy! "I was running and shouting, and I yelled at the guy." All muskets shot at that guy! Artillery on that guy! ”
It's dangerous to use artillery here, but it's not so much at this point, and it's worth it if a single shell can solve it.
The dwarf immediately shifted his direction and fired at the thick voice. One or two of them could probably stand it, but when the cannon rang out, it was knocked out outright. This scene made me scream with excitement. Instead of rushing forward, I drew my musket and aimed it at the guy who had fallen to the ground.
"Arrogance! Rude! I'm going to crush you all! Paint this place with your blood! Another crisp-talking fellow lunged at the musketeers.
"Viklor!" Vandal shouted, "I'm going to kill you!" ”
It's the first time I've seen Vandal so angry. An enraged druid summoned vines, but strangely enough, the vines he summoned were far from the outside, and Vandal roared when he saw that he couldn't trap it, and his body shook and turned into a bear much larger than his original size.
Vandal pounced, and as soon as he stood up, he raised his claws and pounced on the waist of the wormman named Viklor, the maximum height he could reach. Viklore couldn't dodge and hugged Vandall, who bit down on its skin and stopped talking, while Viklore raised his sword and slammed it into Vandall's back.
"Viklor! Help me! "The guy who was knocked down by the artillery shouted. To be honest, I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable, and with the same attack on him, this guy named Viklor didn't have anything to do with it.
"Viknelas! Stand up! Now he doesn't call his brother brother anymore, it seems that he is angry.
The guy named Viknelas swept down the soldiers around him and tried to get up, but the artillery was all in the face, and all he could do was parry.
"Help me!" Vikneelas fell to the ground and shouted.
Viklor, who was entangled with Vandal, screamed and picked Vandal up, and he threw Vandal to the ground, but at that moment the vines that came out of the ground entangled his lower body.
The entangled Viklor shook his body vigorously, but so many vines still restrained his body. But at this moment, Viklor's body glowed with a dazzling white light. "Brother!" He shouted.
Viknelas's body, which had fallen to the ground, also began to glow. Suddenly, I saw a burst of white light, and the flash of white light made me close my eyes quickly. When I opened my eyes, I found that the upright vines had collapsed, and in the pile of vines was Vicneras who had fallen to the ground.
Breaking free, Viklor jumped to his feet, slashing his sword into the crowd. This scene directly stunned me.
Teleporting to each other? Can it still be like this?
The instantaneous body swap made the original scene a little unadjustable, and the dwarf with the musket was short himself, and when they faced the replaced Viklor, they shot directly without the slightest hesitation.
The cannon opened fire in a panic, and Viklor, who was in motion, dodged the artillery's attack, but it was obvious that the musket did not work at all. And the one who appeared in the vine directly poked the vine with a big sword, and then stood up all at once.
Is that okay?
"No one will get out of here alive! No! No! Vicnelas, who stood up, seemed to have his strength relieved at once.
"Prepare for destruction!" Viklor slashed three or four soldiers with a single sword.
