557. Lively sinkhole
After passing through the rock wall, the scene inside is very striking: a corridor about 300 meters long, no less than 30 meters high and about 50 meters wide, at one end of the corridor is the rock door that Rand enters, and on the other side you can see the light from the outside.
Supporting the corridor are four neat rows of stone pillars, and the exquisite patterns on the stone pillars echo the lines of the earth's rotation.
"It's certainly not the work of the current nezumi or goblins," Rand muttered as he walked forward with the flames.
Agni said, "Don't talk about them, I think in the territory, only the Padmila Palace can compare to here!" ”
Rand, who walked into the ruins of the goblin civilization for the first time, looked at such a magnificent corridor, and remembered the scene when those barbarians had just arrived in the south staircase hall of the palace, and if he had not seen the palace of Padmila, he would even think that this was a great cause beyond human civilization.
"Such a civilization collapsed overnight?" Rand didn't understand what the goblins had done, and could only sigh that such a building had been picked up by the nezumi.
At the other end of the corridor, Rand and Agni actually saw a forest, and when they got out of the corridor, they found that this forest was located in a sinkhole, and with the corridor behind, it was like a garden in a castle.
The sinkhole was much larger than the Dragon's Blood Thorns, and although the ground had long been covered in moss and dead leaves, there were still signs of manipulation.
Judging from the layout, the forest blocked at the exit of the corridor was supposed to be a decoration on both sides of the gate, but because of the age, the aerial roots on the trees fell to the ground, and the trees formed blocked the view, and a clearing could be seen after passing through the trees.
Before Rand could investigate, two teams came out of the woods in several other directions, one team was gray rats, and the other team was green goblins, and as soon as the two teams met, they began to babble and shout in the air, and then the demonless rat and the shortest goblin on the line of contact began a brawl-like battle, and the significantly taller and stronger main force behind them sat back and watched their men gradually wear out.
The group fight between rats and goblins is very untechnical, that is, punching, kicking, biting, and rarely using sticks and stones to pick each other, but the dry fight between the two sides is extremely cruel, and as soon as it starts, it will directly kill the hand, bite off the other party's flesh and swallow it directly.
From the start of the two sides to the splashing of red pulp and the flying of stumps, it only took a few minutes for the peculiar smell of goblin blood to quickly spread into the air.
"It's really annoying, I ate so well at noon, and I was affected by this group of things!" Rand muttered in a low voice, "I'm such a good person, and I can't see blood the most." ”
Rand didn't notice the fire around him spewing a breath of disdain from his snort.
In fact, since the decisive battle with the gray goose, a wall of fire was erected in front of the entire team, and Rand has rarely seen blood, don't look at the slaughter of tens of thousands of rat men not long ago, but they were all raised to ashes on the spot, so naturally there was no bloody scene.
The battle between the small men quickly subsided from its initial intensity, becoming slow and mechanical, and the blood stains on the ground also hindered the movement of both sides. The rats and goblins in rusty iron armor behind both sides began to enter the front line of fighting.
Large nezumi can easily pounce on goblins that are much shorter for them, but each time they pounce on one, it takes a long time to bite through the red rusty iron armor, at which point more goblins will be stabbed through with spears.
With the addition of relatively high-end combat power between the two sides, the confrontation is no longer limited to one engagement line, but has become a fierce melee.
In Rand's eyes, this kind of battle is completely a drain on the most basic troops of both sides, and there is a laborious feeling of slashing each other's flesh with blunt knives, and he can't help but sigh: "I don't think my battles with the orcs are so cruel, don't they have the strength to fight a decisive battle?" ”
"There should be, I smelled a hint of demonic beasts from behind those trees." Agni whispered.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of junior demon rats to rush out of the forest behind the rat people and charge directly at the goblins.
The goblins, who could barely survive with their equipment, were instantly scattered by this group of giant beasts, and were immediately divided and killed by the nezumi.
Rand looked coldly at the one-sided battle situation in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "Looking at it this way, the goblins have no chance of winning at all?" How can Pink Paw say that the two of them can fight back and forth? ”
"Bang~" There was a muffled sound, and pieces of iron beads erupted from behind the woods in the direction of the goblin, cross-resting on the rat man and the demon mouse, and immediately penetrating the demonic beast and orc, which had no armor to protect them.
"Squeak squeak~"
"Whoop~Whoa~Whoa"
Suddenly, the sound of wailing spread throughout the clearing, and a large area of blood mist filled the air, and the clearing gradually quieted down.
Rand looked at everything in front of him and gasped heavily, it must be artillery, only guns can sound and effect like that.
"No wonder these gadgets can confront Warcraft and Orcs head-on, it turns out that they have mastered the core technology......" Rand's heart rolled for a while, thinking about the style and power of the artillery in this world, but he didn't hear the fire on the side whispering to himself.
"Rand?" Agni poked Rant's shoulder with his head, "Look over there......"
"Wait, I'd like to see if those cannons will fire again." Rand stared intently at the front of the woods, patting his mount with his hand.
At this moment, in the center of the clearing, there were no more moving creatures, and from the sparse forest on the edge ran out of a group of goblins and dragged away the nezumi on the ground, and another group of nezumi dragged away the goblins on the ground.
"Isn't this going to fight? They beat each other like this all afternoon, it can't be just for Yi Zi to cannibalize each other, right? Rand stroked the flames, his mouth still thinking about the stunning appearance of the local artillery just now.
"Rand, I have a question...... Agni arched him again, "Is the cannon you just mentioned a magic weapon, a cylindrical metal barrel that a small group of goblins can control?" ”
Agni lay behind Rand, making it impossible to see the woods behind him, and Agni's eyes were just right to stare at the clearing with one eye and the forest behind him with the other.
Rand turned to the old man and asked, "It should be, what's wrong?" ”
Agni shook his head slightly, revealing a gap for Rand to look over: "I think the group of goblins behind us should be using the kind of thing you said......"
"Huh?" Rand panicked as he walked to the other side of the flames, and saw a dozen goblins on the hillside not far away, wielding three cannon-like things, aiming at him.
The goblins' cannons are less than two meters long and less than one meter in diameter, and their entire body should be black iron cannons covered with magic patterns. After one goblin stuffed various iron crossbow arrows into the inside of the cannon, another goblin placed a blue magic crystal on the magic circle of the cannon, and then the magic crystal shattered instantly, and the brilliance of magic power spread to the magic circle that entered the cannon body.
"Bang!"
