Villanzor did not follow the warriors down the nezumi pit back to the Black Flame Pass.

She had more important things to do, so she returned to the Crimson Keep in Transencia through a teleportation ceremony conducted by Triss herself, and while giving the Abyss Diamond to Trith to use to prepare the antidote, Verantor also told Tracy about the player's discovery.

After hearing that the nezumi with a mysterious origin were most likely to merge with the gnolls, Trace's head hurt.

Nezumi aren't gnolls or kobolds, they're a new species!

The various forces on the continent have very limited knowledge of them, and there is not much information that can be confirmed at present, except that they know that the nezumi breed quickly and are very good at digging, and they have strange abilities that can evade the detection of the earth priests.

But just knowing that is enough to make people feel scary and incredible.

After all, theoretically speaking, all the earth, mountains and rivers are Gaia's territory, and anything that happens under the earth cannot be hidden from the mother goddess's observation, but now there is a species that can bypass Gaia's divine power, and this truth alone is enough to make all the earth priests vomit three liters of blood.

But Tracey had a headache but also a hint of happiness.

Murphy hadn't thought the Black Flame Pass could stop the Gnolls from the beginning, saying it was just a gut feeling, but now, the advance preparation that Murphy had been doing was finally coming in handy.

Although the defense line of the Shadow Valley is not as solid as that of the Black Flame Pass, it can at least provide a place of refuge for the evacuees there, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the Black Flame Pass defenders 100 years ago.

Kuder died in that desperate war, and none of the tens of thousands of warriors who held off the King of Bone at the Black Flame Pass came back alive.

"You return to the Valley of the Shadows, where you need a man of sufficient weight."

Tracey, who was quickly dispensing the antidote in the laboratory, said to Velanther:

"You go over and hold your ground, and let Lisa help you prepare to receive the retreating soldiers from the Black Flame Pass, and Murphy and I will be there this afternoon at the latest."

"It's a big conspiracy, Grand Duke Trissy!"

Willant shook his head worriedly and said:

"I don't know if it's the work of the gnolls, but I'm more likely to think it's twilight playing tricks on the ground, and they don't do things with a hammer. If the nezumi were their secret weapon, then it certainly wasn't just for a Black Flame Pass to take it out now.

You should now warn Lord Pa Ying and the Brass Fortress right now!

It is likely that the same tactics will play out there. ”

"Well, you're right, I'm going to do that. Well? ”

Tracy took out the blood crystal that contacted Lord Pa Ying, and injected spiritual energy into it but there was no response, which made Triss frown, and she said:

"Even the blood crystal's contact has been cut off? Damn it! It seems that some of the higher powers have intervened in this dark plague, and they will not allow the bloodshed and death they want to see be stopped in advance. ”

"So, the brass dwarves and their proud fortress are coming to an end?"

Villanser asked:

"Is there no other way to reach them?"

"Yes!"

Tris thought for a moment, and at the same time that the Abyss Diamond in front of her was added to the beaker to heat and put in various extractants, she found another blood crystal and injected spiritual energy to connect smoothly this time.

Lady Shani's projection appeared in front of Triss with the blood crystal as the core.

She's going to be on the march in full gear, and she doesn't know where she's going.

"I want your help with something."

Tracy directly told Shani the news of the nezumi entering the war, saying:

"Use the Thieves' Guild! Send it to the Brass Fortress as soon as possible, but don't give it to the dwarves and send it directly to the Knights of the Blood Alliance. The brass dwarves' money-obsessed bastards are hopeless, and Mother Earth is determined to abandon them.

I guess this is to avoid the same contamination as Avalon.

Although the situation of the two sides is not the same, and it can even be said that it is very different, as I said before, the power of faith is strong, but this thing is really not a good thing! ”

"Roger! I'll arrange it right away. ”

Xia Ni's side is also very simple.

She said:

"The Crimean Fortress has asked for reinforcements, I'm taking people there, it's said that General Baldwin has sent almost 20,000 men to the Shadow Valley, you Transans are very good at diplomacy! You can convince a guy who is as hard as a stone. ”

"Just in time."

Tris nodded in satisfaction and said:

"The lack of manpower in the Shadow Valley can finally be improved, but I advise you to prepare for a hard fight, Shani, the gnolls are really ruthless in their whole life. You have to be careful, if you don't make a beauty like you, it will be a good death. ”

In the face of Trisi's malice, Shani didn't even bother to deal with it, cut off the communication of the blood crystal and continued to do her business.

Seeing that the warning had been given, Villanser did not linger any longer.

Ms. Spider's KPI is weighing on her head.

She must do everything in her power to help Transncia survive the Scourge as a righteous companion, which is a difficult time for a lifeweaver girl who loves to play tricks.

Tris had a bad feeling at this point.

But after all, she was a Scarlet Witch who had seen strong winds and waves, so she safely completed the antidote and returned to the swamp exclusion area an hour later.

Murphy was finishing detoxification from the biological pod at this time, and in the face of the antidote handed by Tracy, he simply twisted the lid and poured it down.

It tasted terrible, but it worked well, and Murphy soon felt the power of the toxin that was entrenched in his body that prevented it from working and debilitating him dissipated.

He coughed and spurted black blood as he looked at Trith, who was about to speak, and under the inquiry of his eyes, the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture still told him about the current situation.

"The Black Flame Pass is coming to an end."

Murphy was surprisingly calm, and seemed not surprised by this result, and he wiped the black blood from his mouth and said:

"As I expected, there was no such thing as an undefeated fortress, and the word 'impregnable' became a banner when it was spoken. Send me over, Trace, we'll be busy next. ”

As he spoke, he put on his Traveler armor, but Tracey stopped him, and the Scarlet Witch reached out to touch the shallow scar on Murphy's heart.

She said:

"Your self-healing has returned, why not let it heal? How ugly it is to leave a scar. ”

"I'm just learning from you."

Murphy rolled his eyes and reached out to touch the scar on Tracey's collarbone, such an intimate gesture would have been rejected before, but the relationship between the two was different in the end, the Scarlet Witch did not stop it, just looked at her little cutie.

The Doge lowered his head and kissed Tracey lightly on the scar on her neck.

He said:

"In this way, I am reminded of the bitter lessons of the past, and every time I touch it, I know that I am not the Chosen One in the absolute sense, and every time I perceive it, I am also a poor creature that will die.

It allows me to learn to be more in awe and to value life

It's not just mine, it's someone else's. ”

"Velencor needs more materials to craft a new Vial of Resurrection."

Tracey leaned down and kissed Murphy's heart scar as well, as if completing a wonderful "ritual".

She helped Murphy, who was still a little weak, to put on the protective gear, and whispered:

"Until you get the Vial of Resurrection, I won't let you go out and have any more adventures! You know, you have a responsibility to me now, too, and I'm not ready to be a widow. ”

"So, my proud Grand Duke Triss is ready to become the Doge's wife, right?"

Murphy smiled dumbly.

As a result, Triss was hit in the head with a knife in one hand, and the Scarlet Witch scolded:

"Don't plant flags at this time!"

"Understood, apologies to you, my lady."

——

Murphy and Tracy are flirting with each other, but the situation in the Black Flame Pass is rapidly deteriorating.

The Lord of Ofg Silverheart is holding back the increasingly animated undead in the dead space behind the position, which is very vicious, and it connects all the passages below the position.

Once the undead rush inside, a wild assault on the Black Flame Pass position can be launched from the core.

Those were the warriors who died here a hundred years ago, and Dusk must have used some kind of evil magic to keep them from resting, which caused the destructive power of these past warriors to increase instead of decreasing after being undead.

They are angry dead people who want to get justice from their unsuccessful descendants.

Lord Heather's scalp tingles at the thought of fighting a tunnel battle with the ancient warriors in the depths of her position, but now she has so much to do that she doesn't have time to think about it.

Bad news is coming one after another, almost all of which is related to the deterioration of the situation on the front line.

"The gnolls are disturbing the psionic powers! Communication between psionics is being cut off, and the Orb of Calculations is being disrupted, and I've sent all the Messengers out, Heather, but that's not enough!

Think of a way. ”

"There are a large number of gnolls on the periphery of Position 3! They were corpses that hadn't been incinerated before, and they were storming the Serenade enchantment. ”

"There are also undead on Position Four! And there are many soldiers who have heard a strange noise coming from the ground, like countless claws scratching the earth, and they say that something is moving underground! Where is the Priest of the Earth?

We need them! ”

The elven rangers who flew back from the front line handed in battle reports one after another, and Lord Heather's head was about to explode.

Damn it!

She also has to hurry up and arrange the evacuation of the follow-up positions.

"Bang"

The door to the command post was kicked open.

General Maxim strode in, and he shouted to Lord Heather:

"Don't worry about the retreat, we've already mapped out the route! Let the civilians on the battlefield immediately retreat with the Phantom Half-Elves, take everything they should bring, and destroy what they can't bring on the spot. Especially those food, ammunition and supplies!

They can't be left to the gnolls. ”

"Good! The retreat is up to you. ”

Lord Heather knew that Murphy had been secretly planning, and Maxim's arrival had solved her biggest headache at the moment, but before Lord Heather could catch her breath, Captain Dames Goldleaf, the commander of the Elven Ranger, rushed in with a bloody aura.

This elf, who had always been cold and calm with an eye patch, had a shock and anger on his face that could not be concealed.

He shouted:

"Position 1. Position No. 1 has completely collapsed! Something is rushing out of the ground! ”

"What?"

Heather and Maxim were stunned.

The two of them and the surrounding commanders rushed out of the command post to the high guard tower and looked over with binoculars, Maxim could fly, and he could see a clearer scene from a higher place, and the No. 1 position, which had been repeatedly contested before, would be like a major earthquake.

With the muffled explosion of the earth dragon turning over, the entire layer of defense began to collapse downward, and large swaths of the stratum could be seen peeling off in the sky, as if the bottom had been completely hollowed out.

Maxim could even see that the Hu Congjun on Position 1 wanted to evacuate, but were swallowed up by a sudden crack in the ground to the torn ground.

What's even more terrifying is that the great tear caused by this underground earthquake is still spreading to the second position and further rear.

That's not quite right.

A more accurate description is that at the same time as the No. 1 position collapsed, the other positions also collapsed together.

The front third of the seventeen-kilometer area of the Black Flame Pass was like a sandcastle battered by the tide, and all but those fortresses and sections that had been reinforced with psionic energy by the priests of the earth were collapsing downward.

Players who have always been brave enough to be unafraid of the sky and the earth were also at a loss by this sudden shock.

Fortunately, they have wings, they can fly into the air at the first time.

Those who don't have wings will have to suffer, and Qin Ye and one of his soldiers just rushed out of the rest ground and stepped into the air.

In the weightlessness of the ground suddenly tearing, the old man and more than thirty soldiers were swallowed up by the earth that was cracked and violently shook in the screams.

The good news is that they didn't die.

Falling four or five meters down to a height will not kill the Black Iron Warrior.

The bad news was that before Qin Ye could get up, there was a noise around him that was still fresh in his memory, and he didn't care about his bleeding head, grabbed his chainsaw sword and stood up, and looked out.

Boy!

In the cracks of the dark tunnels, pairs of green eyes were shining with an eerie light.

Nezumen!

The ugly bastards who will never be forgotten once they see each other have reappeared, and this time, they have made things even crazier than before.

These bastards dug through the defenses deep underground, and sent Lord Heather's painstakingly built position into the sky in one fell swoop by burying holes in the top of the ground, and it is absolutely impossible for an earthquake of this magnitude to be caused by an explosion alone, and perhaps there are also jackal psychics who are teaming up to unleash a super-massive seismic.

"Quick! Climb up! ”

Qin Ye saw the terrifying number of ratmen around him and knew that this battle could not be fought, and he saw at a glance that there was a fortress reinforced by dwarven priests in the place where he fell, which was maintained intact, and it was just right to climb up from the torn slope.

The Happy Stick Scarlet Hammer Scythe Regiment was guarding there, and when they saw Qin Ye and his soldiers being chased by a group of nezumi, some players immediately dropped their ropes and tried to pull them up.

But before this wave of rescue was over, the damn violent shaking hit again.

This time, the center of the earthquake happened to be at the core of the triple position, and the seismology failed to destroy the Serenade barrier but opened the underground tear, causing the hiding nezumi to rush out of the ground with a scream, bypassing the heavy barrier of the serenade in a "digging forward" attitude, and directly entering the center of the barrier.

This caught the soldiers who were protected by the barrier off guard.

Not only do they now have to face the wrathful earth that shakes the earth, but they also have to fight these damn nezumi.

Can this fucking situation get any worse?

It turns out that whenever you feel like you've hit the bottom, fate will show you how to make a hole at the bottom.

Almost at the same time that the nezumi attacked the Serenade barrier, on the completely collapsed No. 1 position, Aru, who was overwhelmed by the defense of a lone fortress, heard the excited roar of the gnolls.

The grizzled Ah Ru spread his wings and flew into the air, and then he saw the army of gnolls with the Split-Claw Clan's battle banner charging towards the devastated Black Flame Pass under the leadership of a large Overseer.

The big gnoll guy was wearing black armor, but it was clutching a distinctly human-style greatsword in his hand.

"! Fuck your dev team! ”

Ah Ru scolded.

But the scolding didn't change reality, and when he turned around, he could see the serenade barrier flickering with an unstable light, and after a few seconds, it completely dissipated, and even the area where the barrier stone was stored collapsed.

The layers of defense of the original Black Flame Pass have now been destroyed beyond words, and the fortresses that have not yet collapsed are like stone pillars and "isolated islands" in the terrain of the Great Rift Valley.

I don't know how many people died, but no matter how many survived, don't expect them to be able to resist the claw-splitting gnoll people who are like tigers and wolves pouring out of their nests in such a situation.

Black Flame Pass is finished!

But that's just the beginning, yes, the fangs of the Black Scourmet have only just been stained with blood.
