Chapter 326: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Xalatas came to a remote corner outside the royal city.
The secret entrance to the dungeon is here.
It is said to be a secret entrance, but it is actually located inside a small col.
A road was also built to facilitate the transportation of materials.
Therefore, many people know that there is something fishy there.
But this is not a big problem.
As long as the dungeon is near the royal city, this secret entrance cannot be hidden from everyone.
Unless the underground city is built in a deep mountain and old forest.
The secret entrance is a circular passage deep into the mountain.
In addition to transporting materials, it can also play a role in ventilation.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by an iron fence, and soldiers were posted to guard it to prevent stray people from entering.
Although many people know that there are secrets here, no one will come here.
Curiosity can kill cats, and it can kill people.
Who would joke with their own life?
When the soldiers saw Xalatas coming, they opened the door respectfully and let him in.
The equipment on this soldier is very luxurious, and he is the most reliable royal guard of the Lordaeron royal family.
However, frightened by the absolute force and shadow magic, this most reliable royal guard betrayed his master without hesitation.
Of course, this does not prove that the loyalty of the royal guards is too low.
The reason why the royal guards rebel so easily has something to do with the fact that King Terenas has recently become neither human nor ghost.
Since King Terenas picked up Frostmourne, his blond hair has turned gray, his face has become pale and wrinkled, and he looks lifeless.
King Terenas, who was originally a middle-aged man, is now as old as an old man.
His eyes also glowed coldly, looking like a living undead creature.
Anyone can tell that King Terenas has become half undead.
Although he became very strong as a result, normal people couldn't accept this kind of thing.
In order to become stronger, he turned himself into a semi-undead creature, which many royal guards could not accept.
However, under the force of King Terenas, no one dared to say anything about it.
But these royal guards who are still alive naturally don't have much loyalty.
Just as they could be succumbed to the mighty force of King Terenas, they could also be succumbed to the mighty force of other strong men.
Once the invaders show strong force, it is normal for the royal guards to sneak away quietly.
The royal guards on duty in the palace ran away knowingly.
It can cut off the heavy palace gate with one sword, and anyone who tries to get in there will die.
In the past, they might have fought to the death against the invaders for glory.
This is absolutely impossible now!
Ursales did not trouble the royal guards who fled.
It rushed straight into the lifting platform leading to the dungeon.
The elevator in the Undercity where many people fell to death in the game is actually blocked by a guardrail at the edge.
There is definitely no problem with safety!
However, Ursales felt that the speed of the lifting platform was a bit slow.
So it performed a minor operation on the lifting platform.
It swung the bloody giant sword and slashed it on the floor.
The extremely sharp bloody sword cut through the floor like tofu.
After just a few chops, a big hole was made.
Then it jumped into the big hole and quickly landed downwards.
The dungeon is only more than a hundred meters above the ground, so even if you take the damage from a fall, there will be no problem.
Therefore, Ursales did not activate anti-gravity and hit the ground hard.
The rocky ground that had withstood the huge impact looked like a broken spider web.
Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling on the lifting platform, two royal guards standing guard nearby ran to check the situation.
When they saw a bloody figure walking out carrying a giant sword, but there was no sign of the lifting platform behind him, they subconsciously stepped aside to make way for the way.
Wearing a full set of armor and carrying a giant sword, you can jump off it without getting hurt.
This is definitely not an enemy they can deal with!
After the intruder left, the two royal guards came under the lifting platform and looked up to check the situation above. Seeing that the steel lifting platform was torn open with such a big hole, the two of them suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
The steel plate of the lifting platform is five centimeters thick, making it difficult to be damaged by ordinary attacks.
And they didn't hear much movement just now.
Obviously, that bloody giant sword is an artifact that can cut iron like clay!
The defense is invincible, and the attack is also invincible.
How to fight such an enemy?
The two looked at each other and made up their minds instantly.
As soon as the lifting platform stopped, they walked in immediately.
It is impossible to fight.
It's time to leave this place of right and wrong.
The dungeon below the Royal City of Lordaeron is somewhat similar to the Undercity in the game.
But it's more than a hundred times bigger than the Undercity!
Although Xal'atath didn't mention the secret passage.
Ursales knew that there must be a secret passage in the underground city.
And Xal'atas, who is coming, has just shared information with it.
This magical version of information-based combat mode allows Ursales to know what to do next, which is the optimal solution.
Ulthalus was once a very powerful leader of the Dreadlords.
It is now an artifact completely controlled by a small arcane golem.
All actions are directed by small arcane puppets.
Therefore, being brave and ruthless and going deep alone has no meaning to it!
It wreaks havoc near the lift platform to draw the enemy's attention.
Xalatas, who came in from the secret passage, was hiding on the edge of the passage and waiting.
When Tichondrius saw the fighting on the lifting platform, his heart suddenly twitched.
More than thirty ghouls rushed to the battlefield and pounced viciously on the intruder.
The invader raised his bloody giant sword and slashed wildly. The skinny limbs were scattered all over the ground, turning the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.
Ghouls are cannon fodder-level combat units.
But this measure of combat effectiveness is based on the standards of the Burning Legion.
The cannon fodder of the Burning Legion is not simple!
They are not something to be used to make up numbers.
Even those Abyss Demon Kings may not be able to kill so many ghouls in one round.
Seeing that the opponent's attack was fierce, Tichondrius did not act rashly.
It sent a team of abominations to test the intruders.
Abominable, who is wide, fat and very tall, walks with a gait that even his relatives would not recognize.
Put these big guys on the battlefield, they are complete biological tanks!
Seeing the enemy slashing at the ghouls, the abominations were all stunned.
Although their IQ is very low, they can still distinguish between friend and foe.
Soon these abominations reacted and rushed forward with machetes and axes.
The huge abominations launched a mass charge, and the formation was comparable to a heavy cavalry charge.
Ursales, who was the target of the charge, did not take these enemies seriously at all.
I saw it standing in the middle of the road without evading, waiting for hatred to rush up.
The fighting power of hatred is quite powerful!
The weaker Paladin and the Abomination are likely to be successfully counter-killed by the Abomination in a one-on-one duel.
What would it be like to be surrounded by a bunch of hateful people?
Tichondrius felt that it would take a lot of effort.
Then it saw the bloody whirlwind rolling up inside the abomination group.
Broken limbs and metal fragments flew out, and the scene was indescribably bloody.
Fortunately, hatred has no blood.
Otherwise this scene would have been even more bloody!
A group of abominations were torn apart by the bloody whirlwind and disappeared in just a few seconds.
After weighing it in his mind, Tichondrius turned around and ran away without hesitation.
