Chapter 191 41. Shadow Express
"Dorian's curse is still there, which shows that the sacrifice is far from enough to relieve the witch's hatred! If the witch doesn't know what to do, she can only banish her with magic." Darkus also I was pacing and thinking.
"Enemy attack!"
The animal trainer guarding the entrance of the cave fired the Reaper Ballista at a shadow that had just entered the entrance of the cave, and then shouted loudly.
Although Anying, who was the first to come in to explore the path, was very careful, he still couldn't react. He could only watch as the ballista's arrows pinned him to the cave wall.
"Ah!!!" The shadow nailed to the wall let out a hysterical cry of pain. The repeating crossbow and serrated sword in his hand had fallen to the ground while flying in the air a second ago. At this time He screamed in pain, still holding the thick arrow with both hands and trying to pull it out, and uttered some inexplicable curses in his mouth.
Genevieve, who didn't need to sleep, was sitting by the bonfire, adding firewood to heat the bonfire, which was boiling water.
The sudden sound broke Darkus's thoughts. After glancing at the entrance of the cave, he changed his direction and ran towards the temporary fence of the cold lizard. He looked at Gina who passed by him after the carp jumped from the campfire. Viv.
"Be careful!"
Genevieve was also looking at Darkus. The two nodded in agreement and quickly staggered away. She directly drew her weapon and ran towards the entrance of the cave quickly.
The cave that was very quiet one second suddenly started to be noisy in an orderly manner the next second.
Maranur, who was still snoring, opened his eyes and quickly turned over and got up. The other Druchi who was still resting also got up at this time regardless of whether they were injured or not.
Under the command of Kallion, some of the resting beast trainers cocked their harpoon crossbows and ran towards the cave entrance, while others ran towards the Disaster Walker chariot, while the cold lizard knights and sorceresses turned and ran towards the cold lizard. .
Darkus had already opened the gate of the temporary fence and shouted for the cold lizards to get up, and then the cold lizards began to pour out.
"Wear a shield! Shield! It's Shadow!"
Renn, who was still running towards the cold lizard, quickly turned back and picked up the shield leaning against the wall. Cowell and Ernst also turned back and picked up the shield and handed it to them. To the cold lizard knights who are ready to attack.
"Catch them alive!" Darkus shouted again, then took a deep breath and mustered up all his strength to blow the horn.
Franais and Selilei had already taken their shields, raised their halberds and Soul Eaters, saluted Darkus, and then rushed out on cold lizards.
Then the cold lizard knights began to move out of the cave in an orderly manner in groups of two and two. The four Disaster Walker chariots were ready and drove out.
At this time, the blizzard had already buried the traces of Darkus' team, and the blizzard was getting worse.
"Evacuate! There is something in this cave." The shadow leader outside the cave said decisively after hearing the screams coming from inside. What he was most worried about happened.
These shadows had just come down from the black triangular mountain. With the blessings of Brainless, Autistic and Unhappy Xiaozhisan, they found the dragon's lair in the deepest part of the mountain, but the number of personnel was also lost. Most of the team, hungry and tired, just wanted to find a place to rest and avoid the wind and snow.
"Deal with her." The Shadow leader suddenly looked back. He saw a figure running out of the hole extremely quickly. It seemed to be a woman. Although he was curious about why there was a woman in this place, he still gave the order quickly.
The Shadows began to cock their repeating crossbows, aimed at the woman, and started shooting.
Genevieve waded in the snow, trying to get close to these shadows, and from time to time, she quickly swung her weapon to block the arrows that were already weak when they flew over.
The shadow leader drew a strangely shaped giant sword directly from his back and prepared to attack the woman who was approaching quickly. Suddenly, he saw the cold lizard knight coming out of the cave carrying a shield. His eyes were wide open with a hint of disbelief. He forgot to react for a moment. He couldn't figure out why there were cold lizard knights here. Soon more cold lizard knights came out of the cave. He saw the sorceresses riding on the back of the cold lizard. Sparkling with magic.
"Run! Scatter and run!" The shadow leader roared after reacting.
"Destroy the dragon egg..." Before the Shadow Leader finished his second sentence, he felt like his throat was being strangled. His body began to slowly rise upwards, and his kicking toes could no longer touch the deep flesh. The giant sword fell to the ground amid the snow, and his hands grasped the black hand that appeared out of thin air and strangled his throat.
"Spread out and catch the ones alive!" Maranur shouted in the noisy cold wind, his voice distorted.
The other shadows dispersed through the snow, and while running, they smashed their weapons at the dragon eggs in their satchels, trying to destroy them.
At this time, the dragon egg was as frozen as a potato that could chip teeth. Besides, this was a dragon egg, and it was not an egg that would break when touched. Obviously, these shadows were thinking too much.
The shadows were howling hysterically in the cold wind, venting their anger, waving their weapons and smashing wildly. They knew that the results they had worked so hard for would soon be given to other Druchi in vain.
"What accent is this?" Darkus glanced at him as he quickly ran out from the shadow hanging on the wall while riding Silabulaji. He didn't rush forward, because he had nothing to do at this time. Those who should spread out, those who should be ambushed, those who should be trapped in the net were trapped in the net, and some unlucky ones were still tied by chains. Dragging and struggling in the snow.
This battle, which is not a battle, has ended in an anticlimactic manner. Darkus took a look with the monocular and saw that there were eight shadows on the opposite side, nine including the one hanging on the wall.
"Kill indiscriminately! I really gave you a chance, Lacasse, you are really useless. What is this called? Door-to-door delivery? Shadow Express?" Darkus took back the telescope and shook his head. He had already After seeing those dragon eggs and confirming that they were the Anying gang looking for dragon eggs, he controlled Silabolaji to turn around and return to the cave. The dark shadow hanging on the wall had stopped screaming at this time, and its head and limbs were hanging there limply. It was obvious that it had returned to the arms of the Pale Queen.
Then the fun begins. After the morning exercise, these Druchi who are awake and unable to sleep start to get back to work. Unfortunately, Darkos became energetic and felt a little sleepy. When he was lying there and about to fall asleep, he was awakened by a hysterical wail. The wail didn't seem to come from Druch's mouth, and From the soul. He straightened his back and sat up. The shadow that was still wailing quickly fell silent, as if it had never screamed before.
Drusala held out the hand that was still casting magic. She saw Darkus sitting up, looking very angry, and she retracted her hand. She also touched Colonia, who was still casting a spell, and soon the cave became quiet again.
Darkus lay down again, and this time he fell asleep directly.
The group of Druchi who wanted to have fun looked at each other a few times, and then looked at Maranur. Maranur shook his head, and then motioned to gag the captured shadows first. Take care of it.
Darkus slept for a longer time this time, mainly because he had strange dreams, probably because it was too close to the Chaos Wasteland. After a while, he was invited by Tzeentch to visit the Crystal Maze, and Tzeentch wanted to accept his destiny as the God's Chosen, or the one for eternity. After a while, he was invited by Lilith to visit her kingdom of God, and told him that he had come up with a new idea! After a while, the black dragon, which did not look like a black dragon, knew that the dragon egg had been snatched away, and began to chase him, chasing him from the dangerous peaks to Nagarund. After a while, he changed to another room. Opposite him sat Caledo, the dragon tamer. Caledo looked at him with a strange expression.
"This is such a waste of a dream." As evening approached, Darkus finally woke up.
Druch's best interrogation experts are sorceresses who master black magic. These sorceresses don't even need to suffer physical torture, but can know what they want directly through soul retrieval. However, this method has extremely side effects and is The soul used to perform it is basically useless, and the person is like a dementia, without any value.
"Ask, how many are there in their camp, the specific location, and the terrain and environment." After finishing the meal, Darkus gave the order directly. The mountain elf camp must be raided, and the black willow tree must also be attacked.
Soon, the screams of the Shadows and the wanton laughter of the Drukis echoed in the cave.
Darkus walked to the dragon egg and looked at it. He had seen many black dragons, but this was the first time he saw a dragon egg. Thirteen dragon eggs were neatly placed. These eggs were usually oval in appearance, large and small. The height is only about thirty or forty centimeters. The surface has a hard texture and is smooth, with some subtle bumps and textures. The dragon egg exudes some black and deep purple light, slightly illuminating the cave, seeming to indicate the life force hatched inside. Two of the dragon eggs had very special patterns, and he guessed that Seraphim should be one of them.
"I've asked you all, my brother." Maranur came over and handed Dacus a piece of paper and said.
"The number is about eight hundred? And this place is similar to what Dorian described." Darkus stopped stroking the dragon egg, took the piece of paper and started to read.
"Is the picture your brother and I drew okay?" Maranur said proudly.
"Well, yes, it's quite abstract." Darkus said with disgust as he looked at the top view and side view, but the drawings are really good, clear and can be used as a battle map.
Maranur came closer and punched Darkus, but Darkus easily dodged it.
"Call someone!"
After another day of waiting, the blizzard finally stopped, but the team did not choose to set off, even though the injured number was now able to move. After waiting for a few more days, the team set off again. In the past few days, they had toiled the shadows, and finally fed the cold lizards and war horses a full meal. Originally, Darkus thought about dragging these shadows in the snow to the black willow tree, but since there are more than 800, these are the only ones.
After marching arduously in the snow for nearly a week and a half, the team finally walked out of the treacherous peaks and reached the Atolak stronghold when the supplies were about to be exhausted.
This was the place where Dorian had served, or where gilding and seniority had come. Just like some kind of summer camp, these children of Druchi powerful people will choose various ways to increase their qualifications and experience after they participate in the Haxiya Voyage trial as adults, making their resumes become It looks better, so that you can get promoted or enter the Witch King's sight. Atorak, a stronghold that guards the north and defends the Yankees, is the best choice for the powerful people in northern Nagaros.
Atolak is guarded against the mountains and built on steep mountain cliffs. It naturally blends into the surrounding environment. This way, it can make use of the natural defense lines formed by the mountains, thereby increasing the defense capabilities of the stronghold. Just looking at it makes it feel indestructible. The stronghold is built of solid stone and wood, with a high wall and moat around it. Entrance to the stronghold must be through a drawbridge and a gate. There are also watchtowers and outposts built on the high ground of the stronghold to observe the surroundings and the chaotic wasteland, and to dispatch reconnaissance teams in time to detect the enemy's movements.
Darkus' team was very lucky. They didn't encounter any Yankees besieging the Attorak stronghold, and his team happened to rescue the siege, because this time was like the winter break, and both sides had a tacit understanding of waiting for the cold winter. past.
The Druchi guards on the city wall saw Dorian riding a cold lizard under the suspension bridge. These guards knew him as a matter of course, although they didn't know why he suddenly appeared here at this time. The female fear lord who received the notification was already waiting on the city wall. After confirmation, Darkus' team moved in.
The internal design of the stronghold is reasonable, with many defense facilities, such as arrow towers and trenches, etc., as well as facilities such as granaries, fences, armories, military camps, and command centers. The internal defense system of the stronghold is extremely complete, and the guards are also well-equipped. Excellent and skilled in using various defensive weapons and tactics.
Darkus also saw the manticore mount of the female fear lord, and the rest were the war horses of cold lizards and dark riders. Of course, these beasts and mounts were not kept in the same place.
A not-so-grand, but sumptuous banquet was held. All the dignitaries and guarding officers who were still gilded in the Attorak stronghold came. There is no doubt that they came to see Darkus. In the past six months, they have been The deeds of Keus have been spread throughout Nagaroth, including the bitter cold places here. While there are no weaklings in Nagaroth, there are also no secrets.
Several dignitaries from Golond recognized Drusala, and Darkus and Drusala sat together and acted very intimately.
Maranur was talking eloquently there, acting as the spokesperson for Krakaron, the Hellscourge family and Darkus, promising benefits to the female fear lord and these powerful people. He has practiced it in the past six months, and his younger brother is In the throne room, he acted as a spokesperson outside. He knew that his younger brother did not like to contact those powerful people, especially those speculators who wanted to wait for an opportunity to find the three-legged toad (the plot of Xiuchundao 2) to divert their attention. After arriving on his brother.
Darkus liked this female fear lord very much. After the Dark Council was convened half a year ago, he saw her again in the pitch-black throne room. She felt decent to him! You must know that decency is a rare trait in Druchi society.
After a series of extremely complex exchanges of interests and political promises, the female fear lord agreed to send troops. But there can only be about 600 soldiers. This stronghold has less than 1,000 guards in total, and other guards have to stay here.
"Dear Ms. Vienna, I would like to take the liberty to ask, is Vinir Ice Blade Fear Lord from the Kaoak stronghold next door still there?" Darkus asked while taking advantage of the break in the conversation.
