Chapter 931 The coalition forces are surrounded(1/2)
Immediately, Duke City immediately dispatched a team of ten thousand people and rushed to the rear to check the situation.
Nagus concluded that Narant and others who were dead were already on their way back to the small town.
However, their return speed was several times slower than when they fled.
After all, although a group of mounts got a short rest, it does not mean that they have fully recovered.
In order to prevent the mount from continuing to invest and being unable to participate in the war later, they petitioned to slow down the pace.
And everyone just took this opportunity to take a short rest.
"This time I got the bones of the bone dragon. When I meet the dragons, I should be able to exchange them for a few drops of dragon blood!"
Nalant lay leisurely on the carriage, but his eyes were looking at another human continent that was getting closer and closer to the Holy Continent.
Before leaving the col, he did not abandon the huge keel.
Instead, he was directly loaded into storage.
Speaking of which, this also cost Nalant a lot of magic and mental energy.
If it hadn't been for yesterday's wave of replenishing a large amount of kiwi fruits, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to put the bone dragon in it.
Of course, this is also due to the peculiar characteristics of storage space, that is, its internal space is not static.
Instead, it can be changed according to the shape of the items stored in Nalant.
In this way, the effectiveness of storage space can be maximized.
This is also a special ability of space magicians.
Those space rings and other personal items cannot do this.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant also felt a little tired from today's battle, and then he closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
At this rate, it would take at least two days to return to the small town, and they had only set out for half a day, so they still had two days to travel.
However, just when Narant thought they could return to the small town calmly, unexpected situations occurred again.
"My lord, my lord!"
Narant, who was taking a nap, was directly shaken awake by Shirley.
As Nalant opened his eyes, he saw the little Loli looking anxious.
"What's wrong, Shirley?"
Nalant sat up immediately. Apparently, the little Loli discovered another emergency situation.
"Sir, the Swift Eagle and the Bees have discovered dark creatures again!"
"Another dark creature was discovered. Where is its location and how many are there!" Nalant immediately frowned. The dark creature that made the little Loli so anxious was obviously not a wandering existence.
Sure enough, the next moment, the little Loli said: "Sir, the dark creatures reported by Swift Eagle and Bee are now more than twenty miles away from us. Their direction is in the southwest, and their number... seems to be larger than those who chased us yesterday.
There are many times more dark creatures."
"However, because there are many gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats among the dark creatures, Swift Eagle and Bee immediately returned to report after discovering the situation."
Because of what the small town had learned the day before yesterday, Nalant specially asked Shirley to step up patrols on his way back, and did not feel bad that Swift Eagle and Bee would be eliminated by dark creatures.
Therefore, today's enemy situation was discovered twenty miles in advance.
And Narant was very happy that he was so cautious.
Because there were many times more dark creatures besieging them today than yesterday, and they were definitely not something they could deal with now.
As for the southwest direction, that is the direction of the hinterland of the Death Land.
Obviously, the dark creatures are really preparing to outflank the alliance's retreat.
After understanding the situation, Nalant immediately called for the copper hammer and the female elf.
"What, there are actually dark creatures, and their number is several times greater than the group yesterday!"
When Tongchui heard Nalant's announcement, the original joy on his face immediately faded away.
"Yes, obviously the dark creatures we destroyed yesterday were just the vanguard, and these dark creatures are probably the follow-up troops!" Nalant nodded.
"Baron Nalant, what should we do now? Should we continue to the small town?"
"It is necessary for us to go to the small town!" Nalant thought solemnly for a moment and gave his answer.
However, after a pause, he continued: "But, even if we arrive in the small town, I'm afraid we may not be able to endure it this time."
"Baron Nalant, then why do we still go..." The dwarf Bronze Hammer was a little confused.
"The reason why the dark creatures took the lead in attacking the small town was not only to block the coalition's retreat, but also the most important reason was because there was a massive amount of supplies in the town. As long as these supplies were available, the coalition could continue to hold on for a long time even if they were trapped."
"So, even if the town is lost, this batch of supplies cannot be lost because it is very important."
"Although we can't defend the small city, we can transfer the materials in the city."
"The dark creatures are still on the road. Their speed is not faster than ours, so we need to get ahead of them to take out the supplies in the small city."
"Yes, although we can't defend the town, we can move the materials in the town!" The dwarf Bronze Hammer nodded immediately.
"Then, let's start taking action immediately!" Seeing that Bronze Hammer had no objection, Nalant immediately suggested.
"Okay, Baron Narante!"
Immediately, the team of Nalant and others speeded up and headed towards the small town.
This time, they no longer cared about whether their mounts would be overdrawn, they just hoped to rush to the small town as quickly as possible and then try to evacuate the supplies.
Next, Nalant and others only spent a day arriving at the small town.
When they returned to the small town, there were still some low-level dark creatures wandering around the city.
However, without the existence of high-level dark creatures and dark bone dragons, these little miscellaneous fish are simply vulnerable.
They were easily wiped out by Nalant and others.
And because the army of dark creatures was eager to pursue Nalant and others the day before, it did not cause much damage to the materials in the city.
"Baron Nalant, all supplies are in good condition!"
"Then let's start. Load all the supplies onto the carriage. If there are not enough horses to pull the goods, then connect the carriage to my magic carriage!"
"We don't have much time, only half a day at most!"
"Okay, Baron Nalant!" Bronze Hammer responded immediately.
Immediately, everyone, including Nalant's subordinates, began to move supplies frantically.
Because these materials were temporarily stored, in order to facilitate transportation, many goods were placed on the original carriages and were not moved down.
This is convenient for Narant and others, as they don't need to reload.
However, due to the city's destruction the night before, there were still additional troubles.
That is, there were originally many horses used to pull goods in the small town.
But most of these horses were killed in attacks by dark creatures.
Only a few were lucky enough to escape the killings of dark creatures because they were placed in stone houses.
However, this number is only less than one-third of the original amount.
In this way, there was a large gap in the number of horses to pull the goods, and in the end the dwarves and elves had to use their respective mounts to pull these carriages.
These long-distance horses have actually reached their critical point and are likely to collapse at some point.
However, they don't care about so much, and they can only withdraw as little as possible.
Fortunately, Nalant has a lot of magic carriages, which can not only load cargo, but also tow several ordinary carriages with powerful power.
In this way, in just half a day, Nalant and others dragged thousands of carriages outside the small town.
"Sir, Swift Eagle said that an army of dark creatures was also discovered twenty miles away on the left side of the small town, and... and there was also a bone dragon in that army!"
"Dark creatures also appeared on the left side, and there was also a bone dragon?" Nalant was shocked again after hearing this. Wouldn't the coalition forces have been covered in dumplings?
"Yes, sir!" Xue Li nodded her little head.
"Your Excellency Tongchui, inform everyone to start evacuating immediately!"
After hearing such news, how could Narant dare to delay?
To be continued...
