Bing Zhixie's eyes fell on the darkly colored place on the map, which was the dense forest that Kun mentioned. Bing Zhixie remembered that the wooden building of Luolan's family was not far from the dense forest, and the location of the Qianling tribe was also
It's not too far away. Could it be that the so-called 'fetal demon' that affects human blood circulation is in this dense forest?
The reason why he came to the nearby tribes to inquire was to find out whether the situation like the Qianling tribe happened to other tribes, so as to understand the possible scope of influence of the 'fetal demon'. Now it seems that the tribes on the map are far away from this
It is a dense forest. If there are not dangerous beasts in the dense forest that people would not dare to live close to, then there is only one reason.
Thinking of this factor, Bing Zhixie accelerated his pace towards the next tribe. He asked Kun to mount a Pegasus while he walked on empty feet and flew towards the north.
At night, the starry sky was thousands of miles away. Under the flight of the silver moonlight dragon, Bing Zhixie didn't take long to reach another tribe about 20 kilometers away. But when he got here, he saw that the entire tribe had been destroyed. Leng Yuexia was surrounded by
It was completely dark, except for the chirping of insects and beasts, there was no human sound at all, and there was no light at all.
The traces of destruction in the tribe are more recent than the previous tribe, and should have happened within the last ten days. There are still several wild beasts in the village eating half of the corpses of Lieshan barbarians on the ground.
Come, let out a low roar, expressing strong hostility and unkindness.
Bing Zhixie walked towards those beasts. They seemed to sense an unusual aura, and they were so frightened that they fled away. The Moonlight Dragon in the low sky thought it was going away and chased the beasts.
Kun pulled out a spiked hand ax from the corpse and turned around and said, "It was those mountain orcs who did it. They like to use weapons like this."
Bingzhixie said: "It seems that they have looted all the nearby tribal villages."
Kun became worried: "They may attack my tribe again."
"It is indeed possible." Bing Zhixie said to her, "Do you want to go back?"
Kun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, I want to go with you. They were repelled once and they should not attack my tribe again in a short time. The orcs in Shandou will always become more serious after being injured.
Be careful. The warriors in the tribe are all good. They are not afraid of those guys with long tails. The 'fetal demon' is the most terrifying thing."
Bing Zhixie wants to say that as long as you are willing to move, you should be able to get rid of the 'fetal demon', but they may not believe it and will not move. Of course, Bing Zhixie herself also wants to solve this mystery.
A pure elemental stone demon with raw gemstones in its body was wandering outside the village. Kun saw it and was very happy.
Bing Zhixie could not find anyone to confirm his judgment, but he was now sure that the fetal demon of the Qianling tribe should be related to the dense forest. He remembered that Kun had been to the dense forest, so he ran over and asked: "Kun, Kun, what are you doing?
"
Kun said: "Look, this guy has a glowing gem on his body."
Bing Zhixie saw that this elemental stone demon not only had raw gemstones on its body, but also a rune stone growing out of the stone back of its body. The naturally generated text symbol on it was 'Meng Kem', which was a rare rune stone.
Shi. Bingzhixie's consciousness condensed, and he used a small ice magic to hit the back of the stone on its left shoulder. The hard ice shattered the stone demon's left shoulder, and the 'Mengkem' rune stone fell from its body.
It collapsed.
The stone demon was attacked and launched a magic counterattack at Bing Zhixie. Bingzhixie used the magic barrier raised on his appearance to deflect the incoming magic, and ducked over to pick up the rune stones on the ground. Suddenly he found that the stone demon was still stuck on
Something else, he ducked in a few steps and moved to the stone demon who was as tall as two people. He punched the stone demon with a frost-covered arm, knocking it over, and locked it to the ground with five-star ice binding, unable to get up.
, then jumped on it to check.
"What are you doing?" Kun was very curious and found every move he made strange.
Bing Zhixie used ice to pry out a one-foot-long black stone tiger from the cracks in the stone demon. At first glance, he thought it was made of metal, but when he took it in his hand, he realized that it was made of stone. The stone tiger looked like it was lying on the ground.
The fluttering posture is somewhat damaged, but the craftsmanship is quite sophisticated. It is obviously made artificially, but it is integrated with the stone demon. The stone demon is an earth spirit in nature that falls on the ground or rocks after death, attracting the surrounding people.
New creatures formed from elements. This has been confirmed in academic circles when doing magic research. Most likely, when this stone demon was formed, it also gathered this stone tiger together.
"Hey~!" Kun made a surprised sound.
Bing Zhixie took the stone tiger and asked, "Have you seen this thing?"
Kun said: "I saw it in the dense forest and brought back a similar one from the tribe, but I don't know where it was thrown."
"Dense forest." Bing Zhixie once again thought of the stone slabs he saw under the wooden floor of Luolan's house. They were also artificial objects and were found in the dense forest: "It seems that there is something in that dense forest." Bing Zhixie made up his mind.
Determined: "We won't look for other tribes. We will go directly to the dense forest. You have been to that place before, so you can lead the way."
"It's very late today. Let's rest and go back tomorrow."
Bing Zhixie nodded in agreement.
…
Going back in time slightly, the troops from the four branches of Baishuang Shangcheng who went out to feint to attack returned to the city. The number of people who came back was only half of the number when they left the city. The soldiers who lost were either killed in battle, injured or missing. The so-called missing included many deserters, just to avoid
It was so embarrassing that I reported him missing.
Baishuang City fell into an extremely tense atmosphere. Although the fourth black dragon and Hushan had not returned yet, the reconnaissance spies sent out and the enemy's artillery fire proved that the plan was not successful. Not long after, Hushan took his Hushan
The Shan army came back very tragically. There were nearly 2,000 troops when they went out, but less than 200 people came back alive. Many fell off the cliff and died.
"What should we do now?" The pessimistic atmosphere did not come over her heart again, but it was heavier than before. The Queen was speechless, and so was Reiki.
After a while, Reiche asked the staff: "Let's count, how many people do we have left to fight?"
"We have already calculated the statistics." The staff officer said: "The regular army in the city, plus the storm, reinforcements from the Rhineland, the security forces in the capital, His Majesty's Royal Banner Army, and personal guards, the total adds up to less than 33,000
people."
Everyone's expressions became extremely ugly: "Are there only so many people who can fight?"
The staff officer nodded with a livid face: "This is still the number of lightly injured soldiers. And as soldiers continue to flee from the city, this number continues to decrease."
An officer said angrily: "What's going on? Haven't we already ordered the city gate to only enter and not leave?"
Another person smiled bitterly and said: "The first ones to escape are those guarding the city gate."
Everyone was silent.
After a while, several light cavalry who had followed Jean Hus out came back and told General Reich what had happened. Reich only felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground with desire. Fortunately, he was stopped by the people around him.
He held on. When Huss led the troops out, he had guessed that there would be such a possibility, but when he actually heard the bad news, he was still caught off guard by the deep pain in his heart.
Now bad news keeps coming back, and everything is developing for the worst. The idea of abandoning the city and fleeing has once again spread among the officers, and it is even more intense than before.
Half an hour later, the fourth black dragon also returned to the city. He and Berwick struggled for a long time. Neither side could do anything to win over the other, and they finally separated. In fact, he tried to fly above the 'pirate' army several times, hoping to give him a blow.
The other party caused some disasters, but they were stopped by Berwick, causing limited losses to the enemy. Moreover, he did not dare to go too deep into the direction of the enemy for fear of being trapped again like yesterday.
Lei Qie lowered his head sadly: "The enemy is indeed too strong. Fried even thought of the weaknesses of the Red Corner Highlands in advance. I'm afraid we have no hope in this battle."
When the general said such words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the fourth black dragon said: "There is still hope to defend this place."
Everyone looked at this outsider blankly. They had heard enough such optimistic words these days, and they were numb: "What hope is there? Our last attempt has failed."
The fourth black dragon said: "Didn't you notice? The enemy did not use the method yesterday to attack Baishuang Upper City. They were using magic rock cannons to attack from a distance, and the soldiers also had the intention of marching to the mountain. They even showed off in the morning
They had the intention of attacking. But in fact they did not launch a real attack, they were just bluffing, they wanted to scare you out of the city."
Lei Qie cheered up: "The enemy did not use the method of yesterday's flood to break through the city, which shows that yesterday's method cannot be used continuously. They organized their troops early in the morning, and now they are not marching very fast towards the mountains."
"Maybe they are just afraid of our magic rock cannon and don't want to enter the range of our defenses, or maybe their plans are disrupted by our raid." Someone said.
Lei Qie said: "Then this shows that they have no real intention to attack, at least not today. Their strength is about twice that of ours. Of course, they may not know it. But to break the city, we don't have to use yesterday's method in a short time.
It is impossible to do it within the city. Unless they attack hard with several times the force. I have studied the history of world wars in San Bikoya, and there are many city defense battles in history that have made dozens of times more enemies unable to break through." He said at the same time.
He said, while looking at everyone with encouraging eyes: "As long as we work together as a city and as long as what happened yesterday doesn't happen again, it's not impossible to hold on."
"But how long can we hold out?"
The fourth black dragon said: "I don't think it will be long."
"Do you think?"
"This is my judgment."
The Queen also said at the right time: "I have asked the young engineers from the Magic Guild, and they said that with the enemy's current artillery attack, the magic shield in the city can still last for at least seven days. Even if the opponent's golden dragon keeps attacking day and night,
The attack can last for more than a day. In addition, even if the magic shield is broken, the frost monument tower above the palace can also activate a stronger frost shield to protect the entire city. The food stored in Baishuang Upper City is enough to keep 100,000 people here.
Hold on for three months.”
In fact, what the Queen said is not entirely true. With the power of the enemy's Holy Flame Golden Dragon, a full-strength attack may not be able to forcefully break the city. The difficulty is that the fourth black dragon, the Dark Dragon, is restrained. But everyone present was attracted by the words behind the Queen.
.
This is the first time that many people have heard that the Frost Monument Tower above the palace can also activate the frost shield. This is probably a secret that only the heirs to the throne are told, and all the royal officials among them do not know this. And in the history of Baishuang City, it was
The city was attacked several times by Storm Nation troops, so the city had the habit of stocking up on war food.
The Queen continued: "And this is not the only thing we have. When it is really hard to do anything, Mr. the fourth black dragon, release that thing. It can buy us time to evacuate. But I prefer to use it to repel the enemy."
when."
After hearing this, Serena, who had always advocated evacuation, asked: "Your Majesty, are you saying there is a way to help us evacuate safely when we have to? What is that thing you are talking about?"
The queen shook her head and said: "I don't know what it is. But I know that thing will definitely cause big trouble for the enemy, leaving them no time to pursue us."
Serena was still full of questions, but seeing the Queen of Midgard swearing so confidently, she felt relieved for the time being.
Sure enough, the enemy's attack this afternoon stopped when the magic rock cannon of Baishuang City was fired out of bounds, and then began to use sound magic to talk trash. The Holy Flame Golden Dragon also came twice, spitting three mouthfuls of dragon flames, and soon both sides of the mountain and the city
The Light Accumulation Tower had to be withdrawn. These two tentative dragon flames could not break through the magic shield of Baishuang City for a while, and the power and range of the light gathered by the Light Accumulation Tower were limited, and could only be used when the Holy Flame Golden Dragon flew close.
Shoot it.
In retaliation, the fourth black dragon also rode the Dark Dragon out of the city to demonstrate, spitting out a few mouthfuls of symbolic black flames. Due to days of fighting and serious injuries, the power of the dragon flames spit out by the two giant dragons on both sides was greatly reduced.
In the past, giant dragons had the ability to heal themselves, but it took a long time to wait for their injuries to slowly recover. Neither the frontline field doctors nor the hospitals in Hoarfrost City were able to provide effective enough treatment for the giant dragons. The most important thing is,
Dragons are usually unwilling to let tiny humans see their injured and vulnerable side, and refuse to let outsiders heal them. If you want to use external medical care to treat them, unless it is its owner or a dedicated dragon veterinarian who uses professional means
.Currently neither side has this capability.
The seriously injured and exhausted Dark Dragon landed in the city, and the dripping dragon blood raised puffs of gray smoke on the ground. It howled loudly, jumped across the street, and caught an 8-ton Skeller.
He threw the red beast into his mouth and ate it alive. The owner of the red beast, a sergeant, was so frightened that he howled and ran away without his life.
Eating a red beast is not enough, it also needs to replenish more energy. Usually a giant dragon with an owner will not replenish its physical strength and grab food in this way, but it is very hungry now and cannot return to the living space.
Without the physical recovery of so many masters, the consumption of human and giant dragons is incomparable. Even if the fourth black dragon is already a top seventh-level seal knight and has the most physical strength among the four professions, it cannot afford to be hungry.
Awesome dragon.
At the same time, on the other side, the Holy Flame Golden Dragon was also enjoying a feast in the camp. A large number of warcraft killed in battle became its delicacy, although it preferred to eat living creatures.
