Chapter 1426 The Battle for the Secret Vault (7) Month
They passed by the long-bearded dwarf holding a tomahawk, and passed through several engineers busy measuring the gas composition in the cave, and arrived at the edge of the deep pit of the ground cave. "This tunnel was dug by the snake man," Haramund used his sword sheath to pick up some snake sheaths left on the edge of a sharp rock, and then pointed to the circles of flat cuts at the edge of the pit, "but they must have used engineering equipment."
Gorindo also came to his adventure partner at this time. "I smelled it. In addition to the slight smell of fireworks, there should be no deadly toxic gases in this tunnel. Its ventilation conditions are pretty good. When digging the hole, the snake people should have specially exhausted the air." Speaking of this, the dwarf hesitated for a while before continuing: "But I don't recommend you to go through this tunnel. First, rotorcraft and other weapons cannot enter. Second, when we dwarfs dig tunnels, they often leave blasting points to prevent the enemy from following. Those snake people might have similar preparations."
In the mouth of a dwarf, he can say words like "care" and "caution", which actually means a lot of things. Duke Este is standing by this big pit, thinking about the words of two consultants, Haramund and Gorendor.
"Are there many snake people?"
He asked another Elavira transformer warrior beside him, who set out early with the dwarf to place the rotorcraft pilot with the portal sign here. Hearing the Duke's question, the man nodded. Then, the brass telescopic glasses installed on his eyes mobilized the focal length twice, and a beam of light projected out from his brass eyes, forming a picture.
This is a huge camp, or to be more precise, the entire valley is a gathering place for snakes. Because this picture was taken from a sky more than 2,000 feet high, even the tallest snake-loathing man is like little ants in the picture. What these little ants are doing is walking into the tunnel they see one by one, located in the middle of the valley...
"It is estimated that this legion has a total of more than 40,000 snake people in total." The rotorcraft pilot, who is also an observer, said: "After that we also observed that in addition to the snake people, at least a few thousand fly demons have arrived at the block located halfway up the mountain in the past two days..."
While speaking, his brass glasses rotated and retracted again, projecting aerial images of the city from a high altitude. "...It's said it's a block, but in fact its area is even larger than Essalum. I conducted grid-based sampling statistics on aerial photography and calculated that at least 700,000 humans gathered in this place. Moreover, those people are not good men and women, they are all dark pilgrims."
In addition to the Eternal Scale Chamber of Commerce, the Avengers from the Ramsey plane are all enemies in the bottomless abyss. All the soldiers of the Eternal Scale Chamber of Commerce who participated in this interplanetary operation, plus the alchemy mechanical engineers who accompanied the army, as well as the two special consultants Haramund and Gorindo, were only 437. Even though they had good combat power, they were not the Trailblazers of the Eternal Scale Chamber of Commerce, which were armed with cross-age equipment. It may be good to fight some encounters, but if they really fought a tough battle against such a large-scale city, their number would probably not even be able to splash.
Este knew the observer's worries, and at the same time he knew his strength. "Don't worry," he said, "just like the destruction that the bastard of Assas in Essalum, we don't need to fight a tough battle, but we just have to carry out a raid on the Six-Finger Secret. As long as we blow up those supplies, our goal will be achieved and we can evacuate quickly."
...
Nearly a week passed, and the captain of the guard Tilon was back with the news that Volabo was looking forward to. The exploration team composed of Tilion apprentices finally determined a path - considering that they had been wandering around the Victims' Chapel, the Shrine of the Victims and the Gate of the Great Bridge, it was really good news.
At this time, he stood on the ruins of a townhouse, standing among the dust and charred wooden blocks, and there was still thick smoke rising from the dark foundation. According to the prisoners captured from neighboring residents, the night before yesterday, the fly demons had just sent a group of dark worshipers who received rewards and obtained semi-demonic blood to collect a war tax.
Although this is not a looting, it is obvious that the fly demon apostles are quite familiar with the wealth of the residents here. Therefore, when the snake people's hunting company came to "collect the second wave of war taxes", except for finding a little valuable thing in the almost empty houses, empty barns and peripheral buildings, the snake people had no gains at all.
According to the captive, there were many guards in this wealthy residential area, mostly servants or slaves of tribal chiefs, noble children. The apostles of the fly demon also regarded them as part of the "war tax" and took away the goods of the residents here in advance.
Hunting nothing, Wolabour angrily ordered the place to burn, and the fire continued to rise and spread like his anger.
Tilonas stood beside the Snake Man Priest. Although the tall Snake Man's personal guard leader did not ride any mount (Snake Man could not change his legs), he was already one head taller than the pure blood Snake Man riding a war horse.
He looked carefully at the hunting company soldiers walking past him and his master, and then said, "Master Priest, the people in the exploration team are all apprentices of Tillion. The subordinates think that you need to go and supervise them yourself - if they really find the gate of the secret library, we must make sure that it is not Tillion but you, the first to find this treasure for the legion."
Vorabow did not respond, and the smoke in his eyes slowly rose into the warm air. Almost two weeks have passed since he first rode into the dark Pilgrimage neighborhood. Day after day, little by little, the Legion penetrated deep into this poorly planned mortal settlement, burning down every fortress they found, plundering prisoners and wealth.
However, until now, they have not found any signs of organized resistance. The sporadic resistance faced by the hunting company is simply incalculable.
This is very abnormal.
Because whether it was seen with his own eyes or the news obtained through the hunting company, he knew that the fly demons had gathered a lot of dark pilgrims.
"What are they waiting for?" Worabau thought.
In order to induce the opponent to attack, the Snakeman Legion has sent more than a dozen hunting companies to resume its previous hunting operations. They have even seized several towering hills, seized many relatively wealthy mortal blocks, and approached the gate of the huge bridge.
But even so, the fly demon and the army they gathered together still did not dispatch to attack the snake man.
