Chapter 122: The Bottom of the Sea
It has been seven or eight days since it has been attacked by night, and the commander of the temple legion under the moat wall is finally slightly relieved, maybe the one at the head of the city is tired of playing and is ready to give them a big one, although the stone in his heart can't be put down, but now the low atmosphere of the army has finally eased a little.
Fortunately, the orcs on the wall did not go out of the wall to harvest because of the night attack once, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, but the continuous night attack consumed the morale that was not high, and there was also the energy of the Angels of the Light Protoss stationed in the camp, for nearly a month, the Angels of Light were frequently dispatched, and the losses were also very serious, and there was even an Angel of Light who was too weak to fight again because of the consumption of too much strength.
I thought that the orc empire was enough of a headache with the man-made danger of the moat wall, but now in terms of the strong, a former regent is even more than several angels, where does his side still have a chance of winning. The excuse for retreat that was hard to find before, let the army retreat back thirty miles, and now it seems that the distance is useless for the man on the other side, and the combat effectiveness of that kind of high-level necromantic creature is so high that it exceeded everyone's expectations at the beginning, and this also includes angels, fortunately, the front-line commander is not stupid, and the response is quite timely, avoiding greater casualties, and the subsequent response also makes these commanders more and more handy with the command, and even some commanders have some illusions, isn't this the man on the opposite side training his enemy?
Without waiting for the Supreme Commander to go to the tent where the angel was sitting to state the reason for retreating, the angel's order was one step ahead of him, allowing the army to retreat back fifty miles, and then waiting for the arrival of the support troops, as for when the support troops arrived, the angel did not say, and the Supreme Commander did not ask, everyone understood that the current temple army had lost the sharpness of the attack, and there was no better way to face the moat wall, and the withdrawn troops were chased by the Orc Empire, and the loss was not large, but the stickiness of the Orc Empire gave the commander who planned to strategically detour and give up a headache, at least in the eyes of the Supreme Commander, this unlucky general could not be relieved in a short time。
After the troops retreated, they set up camp again, and the accompanying temple sacrifices began to intersperse in front of the various squads in the camp, and the soldiers of these temple legions prayed and prayed for the protection of the god of light, and the supreme commander went out of the tent and began to patrol routinely, but found that most of the soldiers' faces were not very good, and the feeling of being beaten passively was really uncomfortable, but the supreme commander couldn't help it, I heard that the emperor of the Kotler Empire organized a crusade army, and the order given by the temple to himself was to find a way to drag the troops within the moat wall and not to support, but seeing this order, the supreme commander could only smile bitterly and let them do what they couldn't do at all, it's better to kill him directly.
"Let's withdraw the secret sentry on the other side of the moat wall first, just pay attention to the change of troops on the other side of the moat wall, our mission has changed now. "What did the supreme commander not say, and several generals around him also understood that grievances were grievances, and they didn't have any good way, how many troops did the demon army have, and after attacking for a long time, the wall in front of me still looked very solid, and the longer I looked at it, the stronger the feeling of powerlessness became.
"Pass on my order, from tomorrow, except for the regular garrison troops, all the remaining troops will be pulled to the boundaries of the Cardan Hills for training!" "Since there is a stalemate, we must find a way to maintain combat effectiveness in order to ...... Run.
Orc Empire, West Coastline, Port under Construction in Binis Empire.
Thirty miles from the other side, a patrol of about 100 people was spotted speeding in the direction of our port. ”
A scout's report made the captain who was responsible for building the port couldn't help frowning, the orc empire's army tactics are unpredictable, and they can't be prevented, since the construction of the port has not been interrupted by sporadic harassment, and even the orcs dived into the sea and broke a wooden pillar of the dock a little bit, but fortunately it collapsed directly, and a few soldiers accidentally fell into the water and were slightly injured, if the orcs thought deeper, it was only half broken, and when the port was built, the loss was almost immeasurable.
"In the afternoon, be on alert, and go to investigate again, and see if you can find out the purpose. The captain was puzzled, the whereabouts of this team were so obvious, and there were no more or fewer people, and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere, which made people unable to find a clue, but with the help of his previous "experience" in dealing with orcs, this captain still decided to be more stable.
The news came back one after another, but it made the commander more and more confused, escorting a box!? just to escort a box?
The most peculiar thing is that there is a deputy captain who directly flags the scouts he sent out, they will not launch any attacks, they are just responsible for delivering the box, there is only a piece of persuasion animal skin inside, and even the scout really saw the open wooden box, for this reason the captain also specially sent three magicians to get as close as possible to sense, the result is an ordinary wooden box, there is no magic crystal inside and outside the box, there is no magic array, not even a lock!
What's going on here?
Everyone was confused, even the orc troops who sent each other.
So the mutual delivery team of the Orc Empire successfully threw the wooden box into the sea, and then it was successfully salvaged by the sailors of the Binis Empire, and finally successfully delivered to the dazed captain
The words on the animal skin did not spread out because of the immersion of the seawater, this kind of ink that can remain on the animal skin for a long time is not uncommon on the mainland, even ordinary people, gritting their teeth, can buy a small bucket, the content is indeed persuasion, the box is turned over and over and there are a few pieces of black iron horns are also very common, everything is normal.
"My lord, what should I do with these things? burn them?" The mage in charge of checking next to him had completely given up researching, because he and a few of his colleagues really couldn't see anything, so he took the lead in proposing to destroy the box.
The captain was also puzzled, and looked through the contents of the animal skin several times, but did not find any code words, and the staff officer next to him with several experts who were also proficient in intelligence also studied for a long time, and finally determined that it was an ordinary letter of persuasion, so how to deal with it also made it difficult for this captain.
After a long time, the captain ordered the soldiers to fill the box with stones and animal skins, float the boat to the open sea, and then sink the box directly into the sea, and at the same time ordered to follow the escort team to see if they could find any more clues, but after following for nearly thirty miles, nothing was found, and the matter was over.
But when these soldiers of the Binis Empire thought that this was the end of the matter, the angels who had been monitoring the escort team did sneak into the bottom of the sea, and watched the wooden box drift out to the sea for about thirty miles due to the influence of the undercurrent in the sea before landing in a coral reef, and several sea fish were frightened by the sudden foreign object and swam around, and when the wooden box settled and there was nothing abnormal, those sea fish that had been living in the coral reef swam back slowly, tentatively touched, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, at most it was to change places to sort out the courtship"Little Family", this angel hid his body, and he didn't even find those sea fish, so he stared at the box for about three days, and finally determined that there was no abnormality, and blew up the wooden box along with the nearby coral reef and left.
Lin Nian, who was waiting quietly on the wall of the moat, showed an imperceptible smile at the moment when the wooden box shattered, and then continued to arrange the task.
Unbeknownst to the angel, everything she had shattered with her magic had returned to its original appearance after a few days, and the fish were still sweeping the sand from the nearby reef, the only difference was that the crate had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there.
In the deep sea, there is no light and no sound, and occasionally the swimmings are deep-sea monsters, the ocean current is untraced, intertwined in the deep sea, even those deep-sea monsters dare not touch easily, in their instincts, the conflict undercurrent in the sea can tear apart everything they have seen, there will be occasional light flashes on the bottom of the sea, that is a kind of self-luminous, with the light to prey on small fish with phototaxis mouth fish, and in the place where there is often bright light on the bottom of the sea, it is the submarine volcano day after day billowing black smoke, boiling magma or gushing, or flowing constantly to bring high temperature to the surrounding seawater, there is almost no life near the volcano, but in a little farther away, it is a biome of its own。
And somewhere under the sea, countless craters black smoke shrouded in the core area, from time to time flashing blue light, through the black smoke, a dark blue ice crystal palace is impressively presented in front of you, the palace is not big, the front looks like only half a mile, in front of the palace every ten steps there is a crystal clear icicle to support the ice eaves above, the palace gate is a slightly whitish ice crystal gate, at this moment the gate opens, a stream of ocean currents from the outside rushing in, and in this current mixed with a trace of wood chips and some undestroyed black iron iron slag, the ocean current into the main hall, from the center of the hall into one and then rapid rotation, sawdust and iron slag also began to gather little by littleI don't know how much time passed, a complete wooden box fell lightly to the ground, and the iron horns hit the transparent ice with a unique crisp sound.
A graceful figure appeared out of thin air from the main hall, this figure was first composed of the gathered currents, and after slowly shaping, the torso limbs appeared, a light blue long veil wrapped around the figure, the blue long hair was like a waterfall draining down, and the white jade feet under the slender and strong calves were gently dotted on the ice surface of the main hall, and the whole palace was instantly bright, like a spiritual object, constantly exuding a joyful atmosphere.
A slender finger lightly touched the wooden box, and the owner of the finger couldn't help frowning slightly.
"What the hell is this kid trying to tell me?"
