Chapter 78: Border of Cardero Province—Monster “Goes North”
At the end of September, the earthen castle on the hill of Lumen Nanshan was barely taking shape.
The six-meter-high city wall mixed with yellow soil blocks stands on the hill, giving the garrisoned defense forces a great sense of security.
Compared with the carefully built city walls, the internal layout is extremely simple. It only needs to ensure the safety of water sources and food, and everything else is kept simple.
In the end, except for the one thousand people who stayed on the hill, the other five thousand-man teams were all sent out to participate in the establishment of outposts, felling trees, clearing monsters and other matters.
This kind of work lasted until mid-October when it was basically completed.
At the beginning of October, Verin once again received guidance from fate and received an unimportant but relevant piece of information.
[The Maple Leaf County of the Duke of Light End will form a natural space passage in three years, a space passage connecting the underground world. 】
So far, there is a small teleportation array sealed underground in the Lake of Praying Stars, which is connected to an unknown underground world.
Regarding this special event that was separated by several provinces, Verin had not thought of how to deal with it for a while, but he could move closer to business, buy and hoard a large area of land in advance, and earn a lot of money from adventurers and nobles. Money needs to be calculated carefully.
At night, in the camp, Weilin obtained intelligence through reconnaissance and judged based on the current situation, he concluded that the monster coalition attacking Serop Province might move north to find a breakthrough again.
This is exactly what happened. Outside the borders of Serop Province, the commander of the fourth monster clan alliance, the most capable dependent of the legendary red dragon Waxman, the half-dragon tribe leader Nurul Waxman, a A soul-level powerhouse with five levels of soul rings.
Continuous defeats made this wise half-dragon more and more irritable.
Facing the border wall of the Serop Province of the Kingdom of Ilia, no matter what strategies and force are used, they can never cross it and invade the territory of the human kingdom.
"Dear Sir, I think we can take a detour, start from the Kadero Province, and attack the Serop Province from the north." A lizard man with scars all over his body stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Jangula, have you forgotten what the prophet said that you must not attack the Kadro Province. There are more than one god paying attention there, otherwise we will only be destroyed." A strong jackal stared at the lizard man Zhan. Gula said fiercely.
Faced with the words of the Jackal Warlord Pelic, the lizard man Jangula could only return to his own sequence and remained silent.
The half-dragon Nurul naturally knew the prophet's prophecy, so before setting off, the legends had already set the palm-sized area of Kadro Province as an unattackable area, and ordered all tribal leaders and race commanders to abide by it. .
Therefore, they took away the bronze and above warriors from all the monster clans around the Kadro Province and merged them into the monster armies from other routes to serve as cannon fodder and exert their remaining value.
In addition, the Goblin King who was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Cadro Province was also ordered to stop his actions, causing his years of planning to go to waste. All his elite men were recruited, and he was also transferred to the southernmost Go to the battlefield.
The legend above was afraid that the Goblin King had attracted the attention of the gods, so he decided to throw the Goblin King to the farthest place from the Kadro Province to avoid accidents.
You must know that in the original plan, the Goblin King would be the first monster army to attack the human kingdom.
This is what Verin was confused about. According to the destiny guidance he received after leaving the Gut Territory, the Goblin King would launch an attack on the southern part of the Cardro Province in a year, but this did not happen.
Nowadays, he cannot go to the north, and the south is within the attack range of other monster armies. The only way before him is to continue attacking.
As the most intelligent being in the four-way monster coalition, he deliberately launched the attack on Serop Province one month after the other three-way coalition attacked.
He originally thought that humans would move the troops from Serop Province to the south, but contrary to expectations, he was greeted by a more well-prepared human army.
"Commander, I have a suggestion." A rat wizard standing at the back of the queue walked out of the queue and proposed to the half-dragon.
"speak."
For this despicable and shameless rat wizard, the half-dragon Nurul was disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and he suppressed the discomfort and uttered a word.
Faced with the commander's disgust, the rat wizard didn't care at all and began to talk about his plan.
"According to your plan, send a team to the north. Without violating the rules set by the legends, break into the Serop Province from the junction of the Kadero Province and the Serop Province and catch them by surprise."
"Yes, sir, that's what I mean." The rat wizard grinned, perfectly displaying his rotten teeth. The stench caused the surrounding monster warlords to cover their mouths and noses.
"So, who will implement it."
As soon as these words came out, all the monster leaders took a few steps back.
Just because they are not very bright doesn't mean they are stupid.
If you do a good job, there will be no reward; if something goes wrong, you will have to face the wrath of the legends.
The half-dragon Nurul looked around and saw that everyone was shrinking, so he looked at the rat wizard and said: "Tattersall, since you proposed this plan, I will leave it to you to implement it."
"What...what." The rat wizard Tattersall was stunned for a moment.
"Why, you have an opinion."
The other monster leaders looked at the rat wizard with ridicule and sarcasm, without any sympathy.
"Dear Commander, we ratmen are weak in combat and can be used as cannon fodder. However, to execute such a critical, yes, critical plan, we are completely unqualified as ratmen. Only other powerful races are qualified." Ratman Wizard Touching the non-existent cold sweat on his head, he tried his best to defend himself.
"Then, how about if the other commanders come up and you take the command?"
Apparently, the half-dragon Nurul has no intention of changing his mind.
"This this……"
"Sir, our Lizardman Legion is willing to provide two hundred warriors."
"Sir, our gnoll army is also willing to send a hundred skullcrushers to support the rat wizard."
Other monster leaders stood up one after another and said, you send a small team, I will send a hundred soldiers, and in just a few minutes, an "elite" force was assembled for the rat wizard.
There is no escape, the rat wizard can only swallow this bitter pill by himself and take over the executor of this fatal and critical plan.
"Someone is coming."
Outside the military tent, two low-level golden half-dragons stepped into the tent and saluted the half-dragon Nurul: "Commander."
"You two are following the rat wizard Tattersall. If he dares to be suspected of escaping from battle, he will be killed directly."
"Yes."
After taking an insurance, the half-dragon Nurul announced the dissolution of the meeting and will continue to attack the border of Serop Province in order tomorrow.
Early the next morning, a group of two thousand monster "elites" were sent to the hands of the rat wizard.
Seeing a group of "elites" who were pretending to be nothing, the rat wizard wanted to die and hated himself for why he had to stand out.
The two half-dragons stood behind the rat wizard, staring at the back of his neck, looking for a suitable position.
"Tattersall, Lord Commander has ordered that if you do not set out before noon, you will be deemed to have deserted." A half-dragon looked at the rat wizard arrogantly and declared arrogantly.
"Yes, I'll set off right now." Only the low-level golden rat-man wizard faced the two low-level golden half-dragons and could only deal with it cautiously.
Afterwards, an "elite" force of two thousand monsters, three thousand rat warriors, and fifteen hundred goblin laborers and rations headed north in a mighty manner.
