The line that Murphy drew on the battlefield was already full of blood, and the corpses of the killed gnolls were piled up together and even blocked the advance of the follow-up troops, and the gnolls behind had to throw the corpses of their compatriots into the deep valley next to the broken mountain to continue forward, and Murphy and the patriarch's personal guards stayed on the ground until the early hours of the morning, and after the Nords and Plantagenets retreated, Murphy slowly retreated to the valley with the vampires.

By this time, the wounded and civilians in the valley had already been evacuated through the tunnels, and at a time when fierce fighting was going on in and around the valley tonight, it was impossible for even the gnolls, who were not worried about manpower, to send more men to pursue those who retreated in the direction of Bafengte Gorge in the face of attacks everywhere.

Hygson quickly came back to his senses, realizing that the Transians were not really launching this staggering counterattack to crush the gnolls.

They are just trying to gain a window of time for the transfer not to be disturbed.

But it was useless to know this, the tunnel system leading to Bafengte Canyon had been held in the hands of the other party, and the jackals and kobolds had spent a lot of effort and could not penetrate it, let alone figure out the structure inside.

The labyrinthine tunnels of this system are simply challenging the upper limit of the jackals' intelligence, and Xu Gesen has also seen the tunnels himself, and he is very suspicious that even if the tunnel drawings are placed in front of them on the other side, the jackals may not be able to understand them.

The Transia have really played tricks on the kobolds' underground digging tactics, but as long as the Shadow Valley is in hand, those Telancian tunnels can be controlled by the gnolls.

Sending a large number of kobolds to infiltrate the interior through a unified entrance, even if it takes some time, can always pinch this complex and effective tunnel system into their own hands, and turn the enemy's advantage into their own, this is the right way to fight.

Now that the battle has come to this, there is no need to worry about it on the other side of the Shadow Valley.

In that terrain, even if the rebels were able to get their hands on the new weapons with powerful firepower, they would not be able to turn the tide of the battle, and the gnolls would definitely take the valley, so after the attack on the base camp, Hurgeson returned to the camp with his reserves.

But instead of trying to retake the camp, it quickly ordered the gnolls who had escaped the underground explosion to retreat to the perimeter.

No matter how fierce the fighting here is, it is just a trick for the Translancians to buy time, and if they follow their steps, it will definitely be a bad battle here, and Hurgeson no longer needs this camp.

The capture of the Shadow Valley would give the Gnolls the best strategic base in the Barren Mountain region, and the next goal would be to send a large army to the Bafon Gorge to join the Haas Overseers there and break through the Nord defenses there in one fell swoop.

When the gnolls actually advanced into the filthy swamp, there was no longer any way for the Translantian side to resist the gnolls' black plague entering the heart of the continent.

Both sides are well aware that the next big battle after the Valley of Shadows will be a decisive battle between the two sides.

Just as Murphy withdrew to the entrance of the pit with the patriarch's guards, he got a real piece of bad news:

"What do you say? The vanguard of the Winter Wolf Legion was wiped out? Didn't they just evacuate? ”

Murphy looked at Adele in front of him, and he asked:

"Why didn't they go into the tunnel?"

"Because the kobolds, masters, and gnolls are attacking on the ground, and their kobold minions have not given up digging, the earth priests have been exhausted, and they are powerless to stop the kobolds from digging wildly underground."

Sister E said in a dumb voice:

"The kobolds rushed out right next to the Nord barracks, Colonel Fraser witnessed the whole thing, he tried to get his soldiers to come to the rescue, but now the area has been taken by the kobolds in a very short time, master, we can't do anything there.

The kobolds who had blocked the Nord's retreat were rampage through the valley with the gnolls, and the minefields we had laid out would be difficult to hold them back.

It's time to retreat.

You must get through the pit immediately, and I'll stay behind to direct the aftermath. ”

"You go first, I'll stay here."

Murphy looked at the position of the Nord position, he shook his head, handed the helmet in his hand to Bonnie beside him, and said to Adele:

"Your intelligence officers have proven their worth in previous battles, and you are going to retreat with them back to Wolfsburg, where you are preparing to lag in the swamp, where I promised my warriors and soldiers that I would be the last to evacuate in the Valley of the Shadows.

I will definitely do what I promised. ”

"You are arrogant, you are our leader, and we have no reason to put you in such danger!"

Adele stepped forward with some excitement and said:

"Transia still needs you!"

"Adele"

Murphy stared into her eyes and said:

"Obedient, go now! Pass my orders to Colonel Fraser, and I'll need the Plantagenet artillery to set up fire on the Winter Wolves position in Bafonte Gorge, where there's still a battle to be fought. ”

"Me"

Adele bit her lip, she nodded, glanced at Murphy but was too embarrassed to kiss her goodbye in public, turned around and left with her heir, Dinah.

"You should be more proactive."

Bonnie next to her whispered:

"She's almost crying."

"Hmph, those who were beaten and cried in bed by Lord Yvette should shut up."

Murphy quipped:

"Haven't you been fierce before? Bonnie, why was she so easily handled by Yvette? I've heard that you rested for a whole day and a night before you came to your senses. ”

"I refuse to answer this question to you, I'm just emphasizing that I'm not throwing in the towel to that Blood Alliance goblin!"

Bonnie replied with a straight face, but refused to take off her helmet, supposedly because Yvette left a little "memorial" on Bonnie's face before leaving.

Murphy no longer paid attention to it, he flew into the sky to take a look at the valley, and in the distance he could already see the gnoll's bipedal wyvern fighting the vultures in the air, and the smoke and dust on the ground represented the jackals and kobolds on their way.

Behind the vampire lords, weary believers are moving the shrines of the gods away from the shrines of the gods, while the armor is covered with battle marks, and Miss Becky, whose cloak is tattered, is limping to help her best friend Liwen Knight evacuate the shrine of the Eastern Spirit.

This is the last thing to be removed.

Farther at the entrance to the tunnel, the last KPA soldiers were also waiting in line to enter the tunnel.

They also brought with them the Earth Priests, who were generally in a state of depletion, and these silver dwarves had probably never been so tired, and even in this bleak battlefield, the snoring of these creatures was just as noticeable.

They are the busiest group of people in the Shadow Valley for more than 20 days, these dwarves chose to come to the Shadow Valley to continue to resist because of the fall of the Black Flame Pass, they blamed themselves for losing the holy land of Mother Earth God, but their outstanding performance during this period of time made no matter how demanding people could find fault, without these earth priests, it would be a miracle that the broken terrain of the Shadow Valley could last for a week.

Murphy also sees Lisa, the titular mistress of Shadow Valley, with her husband, Captain Merkel.

Two young half-elves grew up rapidly during the years of war.

Before this war, Lisa was still a rookie lord who sat in the well and watched the sky, fiddling with intrigues in her hometown, and even thought about escaping from the position in the Black Flame Pass, while Merkel was a young husband with a high heart but limited strength.

But now, Lisa has become a qualified commander of the Shadow Half-Elves, and she has been praised by the command more than once for her bravery in several battles.

Captain Merkel is even more impressive, he has become recognized as the best archery instructor among hunter players, and he relied on his courage and skill to kill several hunters during the pit battle a few days ago.

He paid for it with his left foot, but that didn't detract from the guy's bravery.

The couple should have been evacuated with the badly damaged Shadow Rangers, but now they were in front of the tombstones of their ancestors, where Lisa was half-kneeling to say goodbye to the tombstone of Lady Mona, the "Free Hand" who founded the Shadow Valley, while Merkel accompanied his wife with an elven warbow.

"Pray for Adele."

Murphy walked over and whispered:

"I know she wants to say goodbye to her mother, too, but her character doesn't allow her to show weakness after all she has been through."

"I know, I'm on good terms with Adele, my lord."

Lisa opened her eyes, she looked at Murphy, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she whispered:

"But can we still come back? My lord, this is tantamount to giving up our homeland to the gnolls, will we be able to return to our home one day? ”

"Absolutely!"

Murphy replied in the affirmative:

"We only left temporarily, we never said we would give up here, the Valley of Shadows is the border of Translasia, and I am the governor of Translasia, and the day I became the governor, I swore to my realm that I would not allow anything to be taken from me from this long-suffering land.

The Valley of Shadows never succumbed either.

I am sure that this will one day become the grave of the gnolls, and it will not be too far away, when you will be able to return here with your people and your warriors in all their glory and rebuild your homeland. ”

"Well said, Lord Governor!"

Lady Water sounded from behind her with a hint of exhaustion.

Murphy turned around and saw that Brother Huozi's transformed reindeer had come here carrying his wife, Brother Huozi's body was covered with scars and blood stains, and Mrs. Water's armor was covered with marks of sharp weapons and slashing, she must have fought for a long time, making her arms holding the bow and arrow tremble.

At this moment, Lady Water seemed to have completely faded her weak side as a woman and mother, and strode like a real white knight in a tattered robe.

Under the gaze of Murphy and Lisa, Lady Water half-knelt in front of the tombstone of Lady Mona, the "Free Hand", she took off her battle helmet and solemnly swore:

"I'm about to embark on the path that Avalon has set for the White Knights, but there must always be a goal for the Guardian, and I was a lost soul when I took over the Verdant Wind from Lady Natalie, but now I know what I'm fighting for.

The Silvermoon has been seeking to use the Valley of Shadows as our stronghold.

But if we want to be recognized by this land, we must pay for it!

Therefore, I hereby swear!

All members of the Silver Moon Regiment will remain in the Barren Mountain region to continue to resist until the Valley of Shadows is restored, and we will give everything to recapture this valley, and we will be able to obtain the blessings of the Valley of Shadows in future victories. ”

"Well, that's a great oath of resistance."

Murphy nodded in satisfaction, he looked at Lisa, and said:

"So, Mistress of the Valley of Shadows, what do you say in the face of the warrior's oath?"

"I will witness and fight side by side with them."

Lisa said in a deep voice:

"I've never really had the allegiance of Shadow Valley, I've spent the first half of my life immersed in the drama of playing a queen, and maybe it's time for me to step out of the drama and really fight for my dreams.

All greatness must be tempered, just as real gold must be calcined by fire.

When we return to this valley, I will give the Silver Moon the power to live and manage here permanently, and I will share the power in my hands with these brave and beautiful Gentiles!

This is the promise of the Mistress of the Valley of Shadows, the land and its owner bear witness to it! ”

"I will bear witness to your oaths, too, but now it's time for you to go."

Murphy glanced back at the army of gnolls who had crossed the town of the Valley of Shadows and were heading towards the entrance to the tunnel, and he took out his chainsaw sword and said to the people beside him:

"Bonnie stayed here with me to send my final 'blessing' to the leader of the Jackals, and when the others enter the tunnel, do whatever they want, remember to activate the explosives planted inside the tunnel and blow it up!" We can't leave our tunnels to the gnolls. ”

"What about you?"

Brother Huozi hugged his tired wife, and he asked nervously:

"The space here is cordoned off, Lord Murphy, how are you going to get out of here without going through the tunnels?"

"Are you worried that I'm going to kill myself in shame because of my failure in front of the gnolls?"

Murphy said in a strange tone:

"The gnolls blocked the space so that I couldn't teleport, but I can still fly out on my wings, I didn't leave before because I couldn't go, my warrior, you know, a lord like me must have a 'farewell ceremony' that matches his identity.

Go ahead. ”

After saying that, the Governor spread his blood wings and pounced forward, his little players have made such a sincere oath of protection, how can he be an errand before he evacuates as a mainline NPC?

So, find a place with a lot of people and go on a killing spree!

——

"Poof"

The headless corpse trembled and fell to the ground, blood spilled everywhere, and even scattered pieces of flesh and twisted armor smashed to the ground.

The high-speed rotation of the brutal blade from the Chainsaw Sword would easily slice through anything it touched, and in the face of such an attack, the hard bones that the Jackals were proud of were nothing remarkable.

Not to mention that it was a vampire weapon master who was now wielding this brutal weapon, and the whirling slash of the heavy and uneasy thing in his hand was almost like an art, and Murphy flicked the bloodied chainsaw sword in his hand with a blank expression, and around him was a ground of chopped corpses.

The corpses of the gnolls, kobolds, and wolves, as well as a hunter, were cut into four pieces, but the entire battlefield was rarely bloody, presumably because when they died, the blood had been extracted by the Crimson Secret and converted into weapons to harm other gnolls, perhaps inspired by Maxim's piercing power, and farther away from Murphy, the blood-soaked scarlet spears were all over the ground.

And under every spear there must be a corpse.

This scene is very bloody, and it makes this scene the same as the scene of the battle of the sword fence of our king.

After the last gnoll was hacked to death by Murphy, no new enemies poured in, perhaps even the gnolls were afraid of this strange vampire lord, more than five hundred gnolls were killed in a short period of time, of course, it was not Murphy's credit alone, and the archduke guards led by Bonnie also contributed quite a wonderful kill.

These vampires were in their previous positions, but they were few but they deterred the gnolls, and made these barbarians stop in front of the slaughter site, and you look at me and I see your dead silence.

Murphy didn't wear a helmet in this battle, after all, he needed to let the gnolls see with their own eyes how the lords of the Translancians fought, so that his murderous image could be engraved in the minds of the gnolls in a more ruthless manner, which would be beneficial to his own reputation, but both Bonnie and Veranther felt that this was a bad idea, after all, his name had long spread among the gnoll society after Murphy launched the astral rift to turn the Black Flame Pass into ruins.

A vampire who has wiped out an army of hundreds of thousands of Scourge and killed a Grand Chief is more than qualified to be recorded in the history books of the Gnolls themselves, if they ever have it.

But Murphy feels that fame is a thing that is always "liver" dissatisfied, and it is a good thing to make enemies more afraid of himself at all times.

"Bang"

The heavy chainsaw sword rested on the ground, and Murphy stood on top of the pile of gnolls.

He carried the brutal weapon that was still smoking black and dripping blood, and his blood-colored eyes swept over the gnolls in front of him, like an invisible whip struck the hearts and spirits of these guys, mixed with the blood-colored aura beside him that had not yet dissipated, almost condensed into a substantial aura of fear.

The timid armed kobolds and even some of the smaller gnolls didn't even dare to make eye contact with Murphy, but the moment they lowered their heads, they were scolded and beaten by the gnolls beside them.

Bastard!

Don't bow down to the "Gnoll Devil of Destruction"!

This is a coward's performance!

But even those with their heads tilted up will try to avoid making eye contact with Murphy, which may not be called fear, but there is no doubt that in this situation where everyone is quiet and waiting for Murphy to speak, their momentum has long been shorter.

But it's not to blame them for cowardice.

After all, whoever faces a ruthless person who has killed hundreds of thousands of gnoll elites overnight will feel worried, this is another magical continent, and the devil knows if it will form a special force similar to the "gnoll nemesis" after Murphy does that?

"What are you doing here, neither fighting nor retreating? Stare me to death with your eyes? ”

Murphy's black hair swayed over his shoulders, and he scolded:

"Let your leader come! I have a few words to tell it. Well, you didn't move because I didn't say 'please'? ”
