"But, in the past, didn't dark creatures like to gather in places where all living things gathered? Even if there was a command, it would be impossible to make too many dark creatures completely obey the orders?"
At this moment, the female leader of the Elf clan, who had little presence these days, also spoke.
He didn't question Nalant like the orc Gus, his tone really didn't understand the reason, as if he was asking Nalant for advice.
"This Elf lady, you elves may not have fought against dark creatures for too long, so you don't know that the dark creatures now are different from before."
"Dark creatures in the past came across the void, and both their strength and intelligence suffered in the process."
"So, even if the dark creatures at that time came to attack together and were commanded by the leader of the dark creatures, they mostly acted based on instinct."
"In that instinctive action, many dark creatures will still often fall behind, so the dark creatures cannot make many planned attacks at all!"
"But it's different now. The dark abyss comes directly, and all dark creatures have enough wisdom."
"This means that they can fully implement the orders issued by the leaders of the dark creatures."
"In this way, even if there are so many cities in front of us that have not been breached, we are still at risk of being attacked!"
When Nalant faced this female elf, he was not as rude as he was to the orc Gus.
After all, it seems that this female elf really doesn't understand. In addition, these female elves are also very low-key. They only do their job and will not question Nalant.
"So that's it, thank you for the explanation!" The female elf nodded.
"Baron Nalant, if this is the case, then I will ask my people to be more vigilant next time!"
At this time, the dwarf Bronze Hammer had no doubts and immediately stated that he would listen to Nalant's reminder.
"We elves will also be more vigilant!" The female elf nodded.
"We Goblins will also be more vigilant. By the way, Baron Nalant, and everyone, the tunnel has almost been dug, but there is still a last small layer of soil that we have not excavated."
"Because I think since it is a secret passage, it is best not to dig the passage outside the city now, otherwise it will be troublesome if dark creatures discover it and let them get into the city from the tunnel."
"So, when we need to use the tunnel in the future, we goblins will dig it. Anyway, it is only three or four meters thick, and it only takes ten minutes to dig it directly!"
When the Goblin leader saw that both the dwarves and the elves had spoken, he also acted like a fool and responded as well.
Of course, what he said seemed to be in vain, because the goblins had no defense zone at all. Apart from digging holes in the ground, their activity areas were all within the city, and they didn't even need to go to the city wall.
Nalant rolled his eyes when he heard the goblin's answer.
These goblins still have some special skills and their brains are flexible.
But all of them were used on the idea of ​​​​escape, and he could even think of a way to not open the last few meters of the tunnel.
But Nalant was too lazy to talk nonsense, and nodded immediately: "Okay everyone, now that you know it, I'm relieved, and this heightened vigilance is not just for us to defend this city, but because of the cities ahead.
But they all need to rely on our supplies for supplies.”
"I dare say that if our city is attacked, the army in front will never be able to hold on for more than a week!"
After saying that, Nalant returned to his front city wall without looking back.
Later, Nalant called back his extraordinary knights and magician army.
"Quick, Raymond, and Vivian, starting from today, you don't need to go out of the city at night to clear the collection, because I'm worried that dark creatures will suddenly attack our small town!"
After Raymond, Quick and others arrived, Nalant also directly issued the order.
"Yes, sir!"
Naturally, the few of them had nothing to say about this, and just accepted the order.
"Very well, go down and have a good rest! But I tell everyone, never take off your armor and never leave your sword. This order must be strictly followed by me!"
"Yes, sir!"
There was another respectful sound of taking orders, and all of Nalant's subordinates retreated.
After everyone exited the tent, Nalant sat down cross-legged and carefully felt the fighting spirit in his body.
"There's still a little bit left. If you can give me another three thousand energy points to exchange for strange fruits, I will definitely be able to break through and become a Sky Knight!"
These days, all his subordinates have gone out to fight and have earned him tens of thousands of energy points.
Although this amount is not large, it finally made Nalant's fighting spirit that had been stagnant for a long time improve.
But now, he is only one step away from truly breaking through and becoming a Sky Knight.
"Three thousand points. If there are no other accidents, according to the speed of Raymond and others, two days should be enough!"
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Finally, Nalant withdrew from perception and began to practice magic with a smile.
…
It was night and there was silence in the small town.
But there was no peace outside the city, because Nalant stopped the harvesting operations of Raymond and others, so sporadic dark creatures gathered outside the city again.
From time to time, these dark creatures made menacing roars, which seemed a bit scary in this dark night.
But the soldiers on the city wall were used to it.
Unless these dark creatures come close, the soldiers on duty will attack with longbows or flying spears.
But tonight, because of Nalant's size during the day, there were many more guards on the left and front walls.
But on the orc wall on the right, the number of people on duty has not changed much from the previous few days.
Even many of the orcs on duty started to doze off because of the tranquility these days.
From the orcs' own point of view, this is no wonder for them.
Although it was not their intention to go on this expedition to help the human race defend against the dark creatures, the treatment they received from the human race was quite good to them.
For example, each orc has five kilograms of meat every day, plus a jug of good wine every day.
This allowed the orc soldiers who were used to poverty in the orc royal court to eat and drink well every day, which was very nourishing.
After eating and drinking enough, it is naturally most appropriate to have a good sleep.
In this way, even these orc soldiers on guard could not help but feel sleepy.
After all, this city is at the rear of the coalition forces, and it has been continuously cleaned up by the stupid human nobles these days, so what do they have to worry about?
However, what these orcs didn't know was that while they were soundly sleeping, a huge team appeared on the horizon five miles away on the right side of the small town.
This team is the dark creature that took a detour.
These dark creatures changed from their usual habit of roaring and roaring when they appeared. Instead, they quietly approached the city wall.
Even though there was a faint sound, it was not obtrusive because of the cover of the dark creatures that were already wandering outside the city.
And more than a thousand meters above this dark creature, there is a huge bone dragon soaring.
Seeing the small town approaching, the Bone Dragon straightened up again and jumped directly into the sky, then broke away from the team and accelerated towards the small town.
When the bone dragon reached high in the sky and looked down, it saw many orcs leaning on each other in groups on the right side of the city wall and sleeping soundly. It immediately lowered the dragon's head, then retracted its wings, and the entire dragon
The body fell straight down.
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters...
In just a few seconds, the bone dragon descended directly to a position more than 100 meters above the city wall.
At this time, the bone dragon finally opened its bloody mouth full of fangs.
Roar!
With a deafening roar, the bone dragon's mouth suddenly shone with black and red light.
Immediately, the red and black light swept across the city wall like a jet of flame.
"what happened?"
"ah!"
Many orcs were awakened by the roar in a daze, but when they opened their confused eyes, there was only blood red in front of them.
Immediately, with just enough time to scream, these guys were wrapped in the dragon's breath of the bone dragon and turned into a running burning man.
Roar!
The giant dragon roared again after passing over the more than 100-meter-long city wall, and the dragon's breath that had just finished spraying was spit out again.
To be continued...
