Vol 6 Chapter 3: Landslide

The burning flames and the thick smoke filled the sky above the clouds.
Staring at the still rolling head under his feet, Igor, with a pale complexion trembling his lips, was silent for a whole minute, still unable to believe whether what he saw was true.
Supreme King ... dead?
Just under the guards of the guards and the city walls, fortresses, palaces, and armies ... was killed by a mixed assassin under his own eyes in front of himself?
"boom----!!!!"
A loud noise came again from the direction of the city gate in the distance. The dark smoke rose above the peak of the cloud, and the rapid and sharp horn sound echoed to the ears of all dwarves.
"Hello, Chief Enemy, the enemy has broken through the first line of defense and is besieging our gates, Hi Lord!"
Seeing the black smoke drifting in the distance, Igor's guard captain, the stout dwarf who had just edged the assassin, growled and furiously, with a choking voice in his voice:
"Please stand up immediately and organize the defense, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the gate is lost!"
But Igor, the drowsy dwarf, didn't hear what he was talking about, and was still stunned; the dwarf warriors around him all had the same blank face, not knowing what to do.
In desperation, the desperate Captain of the Dwarf Guard picked up the head of the High King from the ground, and took off the crystal-encrusted crown from that terrified and terrible face, and then put it on Igor's head. on.
"Ok?!"
The suddenly awakened Igor touched the top of his head subconsciously, and his eyes fell on the "bare" head of the Supreme King. He immediately panicked: "What are you doing ?!"
"The king is dead!"
The captain of the guard stared at the face of the chief lieutenant Igor, and knelt on the ground with a bang! The pupils were filled with angry and decisive flames, exhausting all his strength to make his roar:
"Long live the king--!"
Shocked Igor froze in place, waiting for him to react. The guards gathered around him kneeled down on one knee and roared with the flames spurting from their chests:
"Long live the king-!!! Long live the king-!!! Long live the king-!!!!!!"
In the cheers, the dwarf Igor, who received the eyes of everyone, raised his trembling hands and pressed the crystal crown against the head, standing in the blood of the traitors and the king, turning his eyes to the roar of the explosion. It was already a mess The city took a long deep breath subconsciously.
From this moment on, he will no longer be the chief court official of the Yunling Kingdom, no longer the loyal servant of the Supreme King, and no longer need to use the name of the Supreme King in order to seize all the power, because ...
I am the supreme king!
"Give orders to the defenders of the city gate and tell them to be ready to retreat-if the city gate is lost, you must destroy all city defense weapons, burn all barriers and materials that cannot be taken away, and leave no bricks and tiles to that. Group of traitors! "
Finally, Igor, the dwarf who calmed his mind, calmly issued his first imperial order as the supreme king: "All the troops should retreat to the street barriers as soon as possible, relying on the city fortifications to block the rebels. military!"
"Recruit all registered young and strong men, prepare to gather near the square; open the warehouse, arm them all, and stand by as a reserve army in front of the palace of kings, ready to fight street battles with the traitors who burst into the city!"
"All old and weak women and children, civilians who cannot form combat power, all enter the tunnel to make houses and roads for the army-within two quarters, they must all be rushed in to take refuge!"
"The enemy ’s forces are concentrated in the north, and there is no offensive trend in the east and west directions. Very good. Two-thirds of the defenders over there are recruited into new guerrilla regiments. Once the enemy ’s attack momentum is blocked, they are ready to counterattack and retake the first. A line of defense! "
"Spies suspected to be traitors in the slums? Do n’t send troops, let the engineering soldiers in the palace of the kings prepare to directly aim the trebuchets and ballistas, and set fire to the slums. One!"
"There are guards at the bottom tunnel? All transferred out, don't keep one-there was already blocked by us and the traitors, he just dug up three days and three nights and didn't dig the tunnel; let the defense army have all the centuries All the officers above the ranks will gather at the Hall of Kings, and we accept their allegiance, immediately! "
"Wang Ting's guard of the Qunwang Palace inquired about the offensive slogan? Tell them: Yunling will survive forever, long live the king--!"
The dwarf Igor, who had a pale face, continuously issued all kinds of orders to all the troops, calmly waved the authority of the Supreme King, and mobilized all the human and material resources in Yunding Peak.
Relying on the assistance of Byrne and the army in his hands during the three years of civil war, Igor, the celebrant who has eroded the power of the Supreme King, has become an undisputed ruler at the moment-the assassination of the Supreme King not only did not lead to Confusion, on the contrary, has given him the right to bring this crown to justice.
The next thing to do is to defeat this attack of the rebels in the shortest time, strive for the recognition of the northern city-state leaders who are loyal to the Supreme King, become a veritable Supreme King, and then end this long-running civil war.
As for the rebels who are about to break through the gates of Cloud Summit, Igor is not very worried. Cloud Summit is a very complex fortress. Not only does it have a heavy defense line composed of multiple walls, the streets and terrain in the city are also very complicated and large. The troops are difficult to deploy, and the small army will annihilate the defenders one by one.
Even if the enemy really breaks through the encirclement and tears the defense line into the city, the group of kings palace that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is not so easy to fall; relying on the group king palace as the core position, hidden in the city fortresses, tunnels, and walls The defeated defenders will launch an offensive from behind the rebels who attacked the city, and they will be wiped out.
Igor, who is sitting on the ground, can use the advantage of terrain to concentrate small mobile forces without having to go out of town to form a situation with less fights and more, and wipe out several times the rebels!
The city of barriers, the city of tunnels, the city of fortresses-this is the real power of Yunfeng Peak, and this is the real reason why she has not fallen for thousands of years!
"Igor ... Your Majesty, the garrison of the bottom tunnel sent the news."
The rushed guard captain appeared behind the dwarf Igor and hurriedly changed his voice: "When they evacuated the tunnel, they found two suspicious characters."
"It's a very special time, let them deal with it!" Igor, who looked so sullen, snorted with a very impatient tone: "What kind of waste are the officers of the garrison army, this kind of thing still needs to be consulted ?!"
The captain of the guard bowed his head, said nothing, and showed no signs of leaving.
Igor frowned, turning his head slowly, looking at the captain with his head down and refused to speak: "I guess ... the identity of those two people is unusual?"
The captain with a complex expression nodded solemnly.
............................................................
"We retreat."
After seeing the abnormality in the direction of the cloud peak, the demon hunter ... or the night watchman Carl Colin made the most wise judgment in his heart, and decisively threw a recruit who just fell off the cliff. Behind him.
"Retreat? We haven't got any information yet, retreat now ?!" Martin Martin, the recruit, was unclear.
"Otherwise? Now that the rebels have started the general attack, the place where we are standing in a quarter of an hour may be one of the battlefields-do you want to stay here and then be torn into meat sauce by the heavy crossbows on both sides ?!"
The disgusted Carl Colin turned his head and sarcastically sneered.
He was really fed up with these recruits-no common sense, no consciousness, and even his task was not clear, his brain was full of blood and impulse.
In addition to being beyond the ordinary talents of wizards and sensitive to the power of the void, their level is not as good as the first batch of veterans in the Duke ’s Guard; no, if the talent is removed, this group of guys have been trained for three months, once The conscripts on the battlefield are no match.
At the very least, conscripts will obey orders unconditionally, unlike these gangs ... arrogantly thinking that they can stop a war on their own!
"The order the Duke gave us is to clarify the murderer behind the war and investigate the truth about the spread of corruption in the territory of the Yunling Kingdom." Martin Martin, a recruit, squeezed his fists tightly and argued reasonably:
"Four days before the time limit, we haven't got even a little useful information, so we have to leave?"
"The Duke said," If there is a chance ... ", don't talk to me!" Carl Colin said coldly: "And now that the battle of the cloud peaks is about to happen, you tell me where is the opportunity ?!"
"Of course there is!"
The recruit Martin raised his head and stared at the direction of the rising black smoke, as well as the "Blood Road" directly under the smoke: "Once the siege began, everyone's goal must be concentrated on the wall of defense. Above the city gate, no one will notice the tunnel network that has long been blocked.
Although the tunnel was blocked and a large-scale army could not pass through, one or two people are still allowed-we can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into Yunfeng Peak and meet with the informant to find out the real murderer behind this civil war! "
Carl Colin was completely stunned.
He originally thought that this recruit called Martin was too naive, with a and thick line of heads; now it seems that he really wants to be simple; he can pass the test of Dalton Kander and be recognized by Captain Lucien Chief, how could it be "simple"?
This is a lunatic at all, and he is a lunatic who doesn't even take his life for the purpose of accomplishing the task. It is a madman outright-it really has the style of Captain Lucien!
The wide-eyed recruit was still staring at him, silently, anxiously waiting for Carl Colin's reply.
He hesitated a little.
To be fair, the recruit said something reasonable. During the war, the monitoring intensity in the city will drop significantly. If you are lucky, you may really be able to sneak into the peak of the cloud silently while the war is going on; just ...
The two demon hunters turned their heads to look behind them almost simultaneously, their eyes searching in the empty jungle.
Carl Colin narrowed his eyes vigilantly, pressed the hilt behind his shoulder with his right hand, and gestured to the recruit on his side; the two quickly spread out on both sides, hiding in place.
Half a minute later, there was a chaotic footsteps in the jungle.
Heavy, messy, irregular, and unstable.
Judging from the sound of footsteps, it should be a dwarf, and the number should be only one or two ... Carrying the hilt of the half-sword on the back of the shoulder, Carl Colin hiding in the dark speculated.
But why does it sound so heavy and wobbly ... is it hurt?
Confused Carl Colin raised his head, only to find that the recruit hiding behind was looking at him in horror.
It turns out that it is the Demon Corruption ... this is not surprising.
The next second, with heavy and shaking footsteps, two fat figures of five heads walked into their eyes.
"clang--!"
Long sword out of the sheath.
The two demon hunters flew out of the jungle in a tacit understanding. Two silver awns, one left and one right, drew an elegant semi-arc, striking the head of the carrion demon at the same time.
Only by smashing or beheading can the Corrupt Demon stop its action-in the Wings of the Devil's Code of Demon Hunters, this is the top priority of the three orders.
"puff--!"
Blood spewed and his head fell to the ground.
Everything is back to normal.
The shocked recruit "knocked down" on his knees with a pale, gasping violently. It seems that he has not fully recovered from the excitement of the rest of the robbery, staring at the twitching "corpse" on the ground in disbelief.
Carl Colin waved the plasma on his sword spine while looking calmly at the jungle behind him—Corruption Demons are usually monsters acting in large-scale collective action. It is quite rare for three or two orders to be placed.
In other words, they encountered only two of them in a cluster, and more of the Corruption Devil should be around, even somewhere not far from them.
In this case, it is better to retreat as soon as possible ... The intelligence of the investigation has been collected, and wait for it, there will be no new changes in this war.
Just as Karl Colin made up his mind, a sudden and dull voice suddenly sounded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The surprised two men turned their eyes to their backs almost simultaneously, their eyes widened instinctively ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The same sound is only clearer, and the distance is obviously closer!
Corruption Demon, like the army of monsters in the North Boundary Mountains, is a monster of large-scale collective action, and orders will rarely appear ...
Karl Colin took a deep breath to protect the recruits behind him, twitching his throat hard, forcing a calm opening and asked:
"how many?"
"Why, what?" The recruit was already scared.
"How many of those Corrupt Demons ?!"
"Not sure!"
The bloodless recruits shook their heads desperately, and the hands holding the sword were trembling nonstop: "But ... there should be many, many, many, many!"
"Just looking at the void reaction, at least ... tens of thousands-!!!!!!"
