vs 45 The Burning City
"We need to equip our soldiers with shorter swords or axes specifically for the giant rats that burrow into the array. Sira Marne thought of a solution, speaking slowly, literally spitting out word by word, "Or use a denser formation to make it impossible for the giant rat to start, but our spears are not suitable for a denser formation." ”
"The breastplate that is not easy to tear also needs to be replaced!" Morinda also offered his opinion, "The weapons of the giant rats are their claws and teeth, and the sturdy armor can fully defend against such an attack. ”
"There is no problem at all with the replacement of equipment, our factory has been remodeled by goblins, and with enough workers, we can barely equip two corps in a month... But our war simply won't last that long. Pedi frowned, "Let's think about changing formations." ”
"Then give up the spears and form a dense defensive formation in front of the line with larger shields and short swords!" Sira Marne's mind spun quickly, "We have enough equipment to arm about four thousand such soldiers. ”
"Then do it, and you can arrange it. Pedi let out a sigh, "I'm fed up with those disgusting rats. ”
"Nobody likes rats. Morinda's tall, but emaciated body sat down on a bench at Pedi's signal.
When Sira Marne was about to leave to set up, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Hanina's tall figure appeared at the door, holding a few magic photos in her hand, and looked at Pedi with a solemn expression and said, "Your Majesty, there is the latest news from Herien City, you should probably take a look for yourself." As she spoke, her eyes looked at the old orc Morinda next to her.
Sira Marne's steps to leave stopped when she heard Baron Hanina's words, and the muscles on the old orc's Morinda face tensed unconsciously, and Pedi's mood that had just relaxed became solemn again.
"I hope the news doesn't get too bad!" Handy held out as Hanina quickly stepped forward and placed the magic photo in his hand.
Several photos of "Rustle" are staggered in Pedi's hands.
"Bang Bang" Pedi suddenly bounced up from his seat, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and muttered, "This is... Orc?" His eyes met the puzzled gaze of the Morinda on the other side, "You... Look at these photos, it's incredible. ”
The confusion on Morinda's face was even heavier, and he stepped forward while his gaze subconsciously moved from the king to the chapters of magic photos, the photos were a little blurry, and he didn't see much clearly, but the vague outline made his heart beat a lot faster.
When the old orc looked at it steadily, took the picture with both hands, and looked at it carefully, he first showed a shocked expression, then doubt, and finally a sudden look of relief.
In the few magical photos in his hand, it was a group of dark green-skinned primitive orcs attacking a city wall defense in a crazy posture, and this wall defense was actually the inner city of Herien City!
"Orcs in the Undead Legion?" "Sira Marn stood next to the old orc, staring at a few pictures in the old orc's hand, "Don't tell me, these are also monsters made by necromancers... Huh, creature?"
No one answered Siala Marne's question, and everyone fell silent because of these few photos.
After a long time, Pedi recovered from his thoughts, he subconsciously leaned back on the nearby wooden chair, relaxed the tense muscles of his whole body just now, looked at Baron Hannina and asked in a confirmed manner, "This is the current situation in Fort Herien?"
"Yes, the latest information, the police officers in the city and the spies of the military intelligence department have all received the same information, and the city garrison has sent a similar military report. Baron Hannina replied quickly, with a slight tremor in her voice, as if she were afraid of something, and as if she was expecting something.
"So," Pedi looked at Morinda, "there's no information about this in the elves' information... Is the information of the creatures that the elves don't know, or are they trying to hide something?" his question seemed to be asking the three people around him, and it was like asking himself.
Morinda sighed at this time and said, "Actually... In the early days, there were similar rumors among the orcs..."
"Someone has covered up our history, and it's a very important history!" Hannina didn't let Morinda finish, "for us... Very important history. ”
"These beastmen, made by the necromancer from the living people of the Heron Collar?" Sira Marne chose to get to the point.
Pedi clutched the magic photo in his hand, "When I was training as a paladin at the Divine Radiance Grand Theater, I spent seven years studying our history...", he looked around at the three of them and said with a serious expression:
"The earliest recorded appearance of mankind was 20,000 years ago, in ancient times, but there was only the phrase 'weak human beings survived in blood as servants of evil gods', and this sentence was also translated by me from a published historical document of the elves. ”
"The history that follows is the nomadic record of our ancestors in the Suk Plain, that is to say, the most detailed recorded history is only five hundred years at the earliest, and the nomadic history in the first two hundred years of the empire is very vague, and even contradictory. ”
"Didn't the elves tell us, they covered up some history!" Hannina said subconsciously.
"But can such a history be covered up?" Morinda looked a little ugly, "How many secrets are hidden in this group of immortals that we don't know?"
"It's too early to tell, we should let the elves explain this. Sheila Marne kept her composure, "They have to explain it too!"
"I wish our conjecture was wrong. "Morinda breathes for different lengths, and it can't calm down.
The slightly tense muscles of Peidi's whole body began to relax, and he used the method of 'meditation' to calm his heart and then slowly stood up, looked at Baron Hanina and said, "I need more detailed information!"
"I've passed down the order. Hanina nodded and said, "There's not just this coming from the city of Herion... Well, the information of the 'orcs' and the latest battle damage... At this moment, the existing military strength of the garrison in the city can last for two days at most, and perhaps we will be told that the city of Herion has fallen tonight when we sleep soundly!"
Pedi wasn't surprised, he nodded and forcibly took what had just happened out of his mind, "How is Drahir preparing in the Northern Passage?"
"The news came in the morning, and it was nearing the end. ”
"Well," Pedi nodded, "then go as planned." ”
...
At about one o'clock in the morning on June 3,
The sky above the city of Herion was as silent and dark as the night of the past ten days, but the center of the city was brightly lit on the ground.
The undead legion's monster army, with the help of human-faced beasts, had already attacked the city walls.
The first to land on the walls were a large number of giant rats, whose gnaws caused the garrison's otherwise good formation to begin to fall apart. When the garrison was in complete disarray, the Beastmen army and the Ghoul Legion launched a strong attack.
The walls were shattered in just half an hour by the devastating attacks of the beastmen and the strange charge of the ghouls, leaving the garrison holding the walls with heavy losses.
Eventually, less than 300 soldiers remained in the garrison and retreated to the castle line.
At this moment, the three hundred human soldiers had long since lost any hope of the reinforcements promised by the High Command, and they cursed and wrote the last venting 'information' and sent it back to the High Command.
However, the imaginary assault did not begin,
The army of the undead surrounded the entire castle, but only besieged.
Until an hour later...
At three o'clock in the morning,
The leader of the undead legion, Udi Cooper, led by a group of necromancers, appeared at the main entrance of the castle.
When Udi Cooper solemnly gave the order to attack, the general offensive began.
The battle was fiercer than expected, at least not expected by Udi Cooper that the battle, which he thought would be over in ten minutes, lasted a full three hours.
At six o'clock in the morning,
A little light had already appeared on the dim horizon, and Fort Herien had completely fallen under the relentless onslaught of the undead army.
There were no cheers, because the corpses didn't know what joy was.
Udi Cooper was the only one excited, and he stepped into the ancient castle amid the congratulations of the necromancers.
He had set foot in the city countless times, but this time it felt completely different.
At this moment, his cold heart seemed to become hot again, and the whole person was about to go crazy with excitement.
The castle hall was very well preserved, and the slight blood stains on the ground did not affect Udi Cooper's mood at all, but made him even more excited.
The Lord's Chair had been dismantled at the moment when the Heron Lordship had been conquered by the Reagan family, but Udy Cooper didn't care about it at all, and he lay straight on the high platform where the Lord's Chair had been in the hall and laughed maniacally.
Seeing their master's current appearance, the lower necromancers glanced at each other and tacitly exited the hall, which was temporarily dangerous for them.
...
Time passed slowly and easily to the crazed laughter of Udi Cooper, and in the blink of an eye, four hours passed in an instant, but he was still basking in the infinite joy of the capture of Fort Herien.
Outside, the entire city of Herion is in complete chaos, with irascible beastmen and ghouls losing control and devouring each other's lives, and necromancers attacking each other to seize the most advantageous positions for their own future.
Twelve o'clock at noon,
The sky was still gray, the shrill howls of the undead echoed through the city as a result of the fierce infighting, and the leader of the legion was still overwhelmed with joy in his soul.
"Boom!"
The moment a dull loud roar like the roar of an ancient thunder god sounded, the entire city of Herion was surrounded by a huge flame that fell from the sky and rose from the ground.
The clear outline of the city disappears in this instant!
Yes, gone!
A huge explosion wiped this existence from the land in an instant!
The thunderous roar was heard for at least 100 meters, and the yellow sand rolled up by the air wave formed by the explosion covered the entire sky almost in the blink of an eye! And the vibration caused by the explosion directly affected the area of the main camp of the Krulian Army more than 300 miles away from Herien City.
Pei Di and the others, who were fighting on the front line, subconsciously looked at the sky covered with flames and yellow sand in the north, shocked by the power of the explosion.
The roar in the ears and the shaking under the feet plunged the warring front into a brief chaos, but fortunately, the front-line officers conscientiously fulfilled their duties.
Moreover, after the moment of explosion, the originally rhythmic attack of the undead legion of the front suddenly became chaotic. The most intuitive manifestation is that the giant rat that hit the front line exploded a few seconds later, and then the charging body was stunned, and then a strange 'chirp' sound dispersed in all directions... They actually fled the battlefield in the first place.
The army of ghouls behind may not have fled because of their hatred of the living, but the formation of charging each other is no longer as tight as it was at the beginning.
"Roar!" "Ahhhhhhh
The mad roar overpowered the screams of the ghouls, the distorted Guards who, after losing control from the necromancer, immediately took over their already frantic souls, destroying everything in sight became their only option.
"Ding Ding Ding"
The crisp sound of golden chimes resounded throughout the battlefield, and the High Command of the Krurians Army did not hesitate to choose to temporarily withdraw in order to avoid the chaotic battle situation.
In the short time when the signal for the Krulian army to retreat sounded, the fiery red in the sky in the direction of Herien City was deeper than the fiery red that had begun to emerge from the explosion, and it was as shocking as a giant holding a giant torch to bake the sky from a distance.
Fort Herien,
The original grandeur of the complex is long gone, and the palatial hall is in ruins, as if the never-ending flames are burning everything it can with.
"Bang Bang"
The rubble in the ruins of the building was about to stir and fly in crimson flames.
"Whew" followed by a strange gust of wind, blowing the nearby flames as if they were about to be extinguished, but the more violent flames nearby immediately engulfed the area that was about to be extinguished as if they had seen a long-lost prey, and the rekindled raging fire was stronger than just now!
"Ahh
As he screamed, the undead who had survived the explosion in the vicinity of the ruins came to their senses and approached his area as fast as they could.
It was Udi Cooper's body left after the explosion, his face flushed with fire was full of violence, his blue eyes filled with hatred that spoke of the anger in his heart now, and his remaining arms were waving to extinguish the flames that burned his body around him.
