Chapter 721: The Mystery of the Ancient Kingdom
The vast majority of races are ignorant of what is happening below the surface, and dragons are no exception.
Salaan had been wary of the Nilub Wormmen for many years, and it just so happened that he had a strange army under his command that was also good at digging holes, the Fadore Spidermen.
After all, Fadore is only a tributary race of the Children of the Night, and their population is very small, and after 10,000 years of reproduction, the whole race is only about 700,000 people.
There is no way around it, Fadore is also a long-lived race, and like the High Elves, they are sanctioned by the laws of nature in terms of fertility.
In order to survive in Sulama, which is full of withered monks, the small Fadolei can truly make all the people soldiers.
But that being said, in non-extreme conditions, Fadore will not push those who are engaged in production and logistics to the front.
Their standing strength is only 50,000 men, which is exaggerated enough.
In peacetime, most kingdoms had a ratio of about 100 to 1 in terms of total population and soldiers.
For example, Quel'Salas, counting all kinds of miscellaneous security forces, the total strength of the High Elves is 210,000, and the combat personnel are scattered among the major legions, which basically meets the standard of 100 to 1.
In times of war, the conscription ratio fluctuates, and at its worst it can even reach 10 to 1.
However, in this case, it is usually close to the extinction of the species, and the soldiers can only be recruited with reckless force.
At this time of Sarean's life, the High Elves had not yet suffered the double blow of the undead scourge and demon addiction.
The barrage is based on the current population of Quel'Thalas.
In the original history, after Kael'thas left the Outlands with a large number of elites, the High Elves who stayed in the Eternal Song Forest were probably only about a million people, which was so miserable that they didn't want it.
In peacetime, the standing force of Fadore is close to one-tenth of the total population, and it is no joke that all the people are soldiers.
After a few years of buffering, Fadore's 50,000 combatants were subdued and able to switch between Spider-Man and the Children of the Night.
In order to express her gratitude to Sarjan for bringing Akandol to maturity and saving Fadore's future, the new queen Justina specially deployed a force of 500 Fadore warriors to serve as Sarren's personal soldiers.
In the state of the Children of the Night, there was no noticeable difference between Fadore and the soldiers of the Children of the Night in Sulama.
Once transformed into a Spider-Man form, Fadore will possess powerful burrowing and underground combat abilities, and will be able to play an irreplaceable role when necessary.
After the completion of the new Shandala, Salian ordered all 500 Fadore soldiers to sneak into the underground of the Crystal Song Forest, in order to prevent the Nilubu Worms from making holes everywhere to carry out a sneak attack from the underground.
A few years later, the Fadores had already familiarized themselves with the passages dug underground by the Nirub Bugmen, and even sneaked into their underground cities to observe the situation.
The reason why Sarjan was able to learn about the fact that the Nirub Bugs were being attacked by the Scourge was because he relied on the first-hand information transmitted from underground by these Fadore scouts.
The battle between the Nirub Bugmen and the Undead Scourge is still in a stalemate, but Sarean knows that this is only temporary.
The nature of the undead is that they fight more and more, and there is no need to rest and eat, once they are allowed to snowball, the Nilubu worms who are not prepared in advance will definitely be unable to stop them.
In the midst of such a war, it is only natural that the Nilub Bugmen who have fled from the front line will instinctively stay away from the center of the battlefield and make a hole in the Dragonbone Wilderness in a panic.
After listening to Sarren's analysis, Karen had a look on her face.
"No wonder those Nilubu Worm people are so weak in combat, it turns out that they are fleeing refugees."
Due to the strange way of appearing the Nilubu refugees, the opening of the cave is near the Yak Clan's Ice Mist Village, and the frightened Yak people subconsciously launched an attack on these Nilubu Worm people who invaded their territory.
How much combat power can a group of refugees have, and the very terrifying Nilubu worm people almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and fled all the way south under the drive of the yak people, and unfortunately entered the territory of the walrus people, and were also beaten to the ground.
Although the scale of these two clashes is not large, the unusual behavior of the Nirub Zerg is cause for alarm.
In view of this, Karen, who was temporarily acting as the Dragon King, ordered Elthregus to investigate the situation.
Elseregos had been adrift before, and he didn't know much about the distribution of forces in Northrend, and when he arrived at the scene, he never got a clue about the turmoil, and stupidly circled above the hole dug by the Nilubu refugees.
The huge blue dragon in the sky frightened the refugees who were like frightened birds, and many of them had a tendency to "the surface is too dangerous, we should go back underground".
Saryan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Is the Nilub worm fleeing?" Maybe...... It's also an opportunity. ”
Karen asked puzzled, "Chance?" What chances? ”
Sarjan smiled meaningfully, "To give the Scourge Legion a chance to cause trouble, I plan to personally visit Eldronerub to see if I can get a chance to meet their king Anubaraq directly." ”
Anubaraq is the current king of Edjani Rubu.
If history hadn't changed, the mighty Zerman King would have been slain by the Scourge, and Neozu himself would have resurrected him as an undead Bugmen, leading to the fall of the entire kingdom of Eldronerub.
Sarjan originally planned to make the lackeys of the Old Gods and the Scourge Legion eat each other, but the barrage persuaded him not to make conclusions easily, and it was better to see is believing.
Some of the barrage believes that the Nirub Bugs have long since broken ties with Yugsaron and are an ally race that can be won over.
The other part of the barrage disagreed, believing that the Nirub Bugmen had been secretly linked to Yugsaron, as evidenced by the Faceless Ones who appeared deeper underground.
According to the barrage, the underground kingdom of the Nilub Bug can be roughly divided into two layers.
Near the surface is the main body of the kingdom of Eldrunirub, where the vast majority of the zergs live, ruled by King Anubarak and have no connection to Yugsaron.
But there is a hidden space in the depths of Eldronerub, another ancient kingdom that was built by the Nilub Worms of Yugsaron in the early years, Ankahet.
The Faceless One appeared in the depths of Ankahet, and it is uncertain whether the minority of Nilubu Bugs in Ankahet have always been in contact with Eldronebru, or if they are in close proximity to each other.
Merinthera looked at the talkative Salian and exclaimed: "How did you get these secret information from the underground?" ”
Sarian smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, there are no special skills, it's just that I also happen to have a special unit under my command that is good at digging holes in the ground." ”
Karen has been worrying about the Nilub Bug for the last few days, and Sarjan's request to volunteer to go underground has made him breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he is a little worried about Sarjan's safety.
"Are you sure you want to go? The underground world is not as good as the aboveground, and if you encounter some problems, you may not even be able to fly. ”
Sarian waved his hand and said: "Of course I will not rush into the ground alone, I will take all the Fadores under my command, and in case of danger, they can quickly burrow underground to cover my evacuation." ”
"Also, to ensure high-end combat power just in case, I'll take Valera, Stella Gossa and Onexia with me."
Speaking of this, Sarren's expression became a little strange: "In order to prevent the Blue Dragon Princess from stalking her, she has to make trouble with the past...... Karen, please find a reason to keep her and don't interfere with our business. ”
"It's easy to do." Karen gave a thumbs up and pointed at Pyrrhine Cela, "You can ask Pyren Puller to have a good dream during this time." ”
"Oh~ yes."
It dawned on Saljan that he had forgotten the green dragon's hypnotic and dream-making abilities.
Although she is also a princess, Merinthra is not a fool like Terrigossa, and she readily agrees to Sarren's request.
"Leave it to me, I promise Tyri won't interfere with you, just ......"
A smile flashed in the gentle Melinthera's eyes: "Sarjan, if you really don't have any interest in Tyri, it's best to make it clear to her as soon as possible." ”
"Tyri is a child who admits death, she doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, and she must not make any ambiguous and misleading remarks in front of her, otherwise...... You will most likely be pestered by her for the rest of your life. ”
"Hiss~"
Salian gasped.
In essence, the emotional Sallian is a person who is very considerate of others.
In order to avoid hurting Terigosa's heart, he really had the idea of playing Tai Chi Xianhu before.
If it's as Merin Sera said...... Sarren's Tai Chi Kung Fu is afraid that it will add fuel to the fire.
“…… I've been taught, and I'll talk to her when I come back from this busy job. ”
