Chapter 683: Adapt to changing circumstances

"The tunnel to the center of the earth is down there, follow me and fight through it!"

King Centipede roared excitedly.

Even though he lost an arm and the wound was still bleeding, it didn't affect his passion.

King Centipede is not the only one on top. As the battle progresses, both sides are furious.

Now the centipede soldiers have only one thought in their minds - to fight back to the inner world of the earth!

Standing in front of an army with a strong desire for survival and no way out will cost you a lot.

The Demon Crocodile Army stationed at the Earth's Center Passage has personally verified this law.

"Lord Governor, the enemy has disrupted our rhythm, and I am afraid that we may not be able to defend the Earth's Core Passage!"

Boyx's dejected words made Governor Bram frown.

In the current chaotic situation, the senior generals around him are desperate, not to mention the soldiers below.

If he was to make a mistake, then letting giant footed centipedes camp next to each other was the biggest mistake he made.

But before the war broke out, the two races were still the "closest" allies.

In the case of foreign enemies, the best choice is for the two families to jointly guard a line of defense and jointly defend against the human army.

The plan is very good, but they are worried about using the giant foot centipede as cannon fodder, and the giant foot centipede is also thinking about their tunnel to the center of the earth.

The practice of luring wolves into the house resulted in the overall passiveness of the demon crocodile army after the war broke out.

“If you can’t hold on, you must hold on!

It is related to the safety of our clan. Once the Earth Core Passage falls into the hands of the enemy, we will all become sinners in the clan! "

Governor Bram said firmly.

The clan issued a death order to protect the passage to the center of the earth at all costs.

As the commander of the garrison, if this strategic location is lost, even if he can return alive, he will be liquidated.

"Boix, I now give you an important task. Go to the artillery position immediately and order the soldiers to adjust the muzzle of the gun to the entrance to the center of the earth.

I will personally lead a team to kill them later to see if I can defeat this group of stinking centipedes.

If the operation fails and it is certain that the geocentric channel will fall, do not hesitate at all and carry out shelling directly.

We can't keep the passage to the center of the earth, and we can't let these despicable centipedes succeed! "

After hesitating for a moment, Governor Bram gritted his teeth and added.

If he wants everyone to die together, he will also cheat his teammates. If you can't reverse the overall situation, then drag the people you hate along with you to support them.

From the moment the battle started, the giant centipede replaced the human race and became the most hateful enemy in Bram's mind.

"Don't worry, Governor, if the situation deteriorates to that point, I will never let these stinking centipedes take advantage!"

After receiving Boix's assurance, Governor Bram did not hesitate at all and directly joined the battle with the gathered troops.

The coaches of both sides were determined to stain the battlefield with blood, and the battle became more and more fierce.

For a time, blood stained the earth red, and corpses covered the fields. The shouts of killing and the screams echoed each other, as if they had entered a netherworld.

One centipede soldier fell, and a new centipede soldier immediately came up to take over, without any pause in the whole process.

In the eyes of this group of centipedes eager to go home, killing and death are not worth mentioning.

The enemy fought desperately, which made the magic crocodile soldiers very angry.

As a large clan in the inner earth world, their fighting power is naturally no weaker than that of the centipede soldiers, but they are willing to fight tooth and nail to defeat the enemy.

If the enemy is just willing to fight hard, it is not impossible to make amends. They can also defeat the enemy with their strength.

The problem is that these defeated remnants of the giant-footed centipede are also the last essence of the giant-footed centipede.

Those who survive the pursuit and escape battle are either those with outstanding physical fitness or particularly lucky.

The superposition of multiple hegemony servers caused the chaotically commanded Demon Crocodile army to retreat steadily, and was soon forced into the center of the earth channel.

In the artillery position, Boyx's eyes involuntarily became moist as he watched his comrades fight.

"Aim at the entrance to the center of the earth and shoot!"

The roaring sound of the cannon awakened the fear hidden deep in King Centipede's heart, and he was instantly freed from his bloodthirsty state.

"What's going on? Why did the human army come and kill them so quickly?"

Don't blame him for his misjudgment. There were quite a few demon crocodile troops at the entrance to the Earth's Core Passage. The bombardment at this time was completely an indiscriminate attack that did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

If you do such an immoral thing, even if you can win, you will be criticized after the war.

"Your Majesty, the direction of the magic crystal cannon is wrong, and the hit rate is pitifully low, far less than what we had back then..."

Halfway through his words, when he saw King Centipede's face looking wrong, Commander Mas Army hurriedly chose to shut up.

The battle in the Baili Corridor that day was an eternal pain for them. If it hadn't been for such a miserable defeat, the Giant Centipede clan wouldn't have fallen to this point.

If the human race is not chasing them, it can only be regarded as half good news.

The human army can use magic crystal cannons to destroy the core channel, and the same can be done by the demon crocodile army.

The accuracy of novice artillerymen is a bit off, but as long as the firepower is strong enough, they can still blow up the tunnel in the center of the earth.

There is no need to cause much damage. As long as the centipede army is temporarily blocked, the human army behind them will chase them and help them clean up this group of hateful centipedes.

“Your Majesty, there is no room for hesitation.

We have no choice, let’s evacuate immediately!

While the earth's core channel has not yet collapsed, we can run as many troops as we can. If you miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to leave again! "

Prime Minister Jawat said sincerely.

Betrayal is only allowed to happen once.

With this criminal record, it is no longer possible to borrow passages from other races' geocentric passages.

What's more, the current Giant Centipede doesn't have the capital to negotiate terms with various tribes.

With only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers, it is unknown whether they can escape the strangulation of the human army.

"Send the order, don't continue to entangle with the enemy, and return to the inner earth world immediately!"

King Centipede said cruelly.

According to this order, how many troops can be evacuated depends entirely on luck.

The time to escape was limited, so as soon as the order was issued, King Centipede led the team into the center of the earth channel.

After receiving the message, the various troops in the war quickly moved closer to the geocentric channel.

Even the peak showdown in the sky ended with King Centipede's retreat order.

The four centipede saints didn't hesitate at all and rushed into the earth's core channel as fast as possible, making the two devil crocodile saints curse in anger.

Boyx was also scolding at the same time. After artillery bombardment for so long, the geocentric channel is still in good condition.

It seems to be aimed at the entrance to the center of the earth. The landing point of the cannonball is completely random, and the error can be several miles away.

Such accuracy is at the level of a novice. But any artilleryman with some experience will not achieve such a record.

Excellent artillerymen can control the error within a hundred meters within the range of the magic crystal cannon.

"You idiots, aim for some hits!"

Boyx complained helplessly.

If possible, he really wanted to kick out these artillerymen and go into battle himself.

But this can only be thought about. Artillery is a technical job. After the Demon Crocodile Tribe purchased the Magic Crystal Cannon from the Stoneman Tribe, they also sent the Demon Crocodile Tribe to learn how to operate it.

Because the time was too short, the level of these "artillery" could only be said to be able to shoot out the shells.

Perhaps the artillerymen who fight on the front line and often play with magic crystal cannons will be of slightly better quality.

The artillerymen in front of me have all received training and been stationed here.

The main work done during normal times is to wipe the magic crystal cannon to ensure that the barrel is absolutely clean.

Don't even think about live ammunition shooting or anything like that.

Although the output of magic crystals in the inner earth world is higher, it is still an important strategic resource and cannot be squandered casually.

"Boom!"

After the loud noise, an energy bomb accurately hit the top of the entrance, instantly collapsing a lot of earth and rocks.

Although it did not block the entrance of the cave, it also caused a lot of trouble to the evacuating centipede army.

Seeing this scene, Boyx's expression suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

"Good job, keep shooting for me!"

As soon as the compliment came out, two saintly domain sages from the clan came to the door angrily.

"Who asked you to destroy the passage to the center of the earth? Stop it immediately!"

Lord Haines scolded him angrily.

The earth's core channel is their lifeblood. Once it is blocked, who knows how long it will take to open it again.

At the critical moment of the war with the human race, it was suddenly reported that the escape route was cut off, and the morale of the army was bound to be severely damaged.

“Your Majesty, this is Governor Bram’s order!

The earth's core passage has now fallen into the hands of those centipedes. With their unscrupulous style, they will definitely destroy it once they return to the earth's core world.

They will lose their functions anyway, so why not cut off the passage to the center of the earth ourselves and cut off their way back!

What's more, our royal city is linked to the bottom of the earth's center channel. If a large number of centipede armies are allowed to pass by, the capital will surely suffer heavy losses! "

Boyx's explanation instantly rendered Venerable Hines speechless.

Under this current situation, choosing to destroy the earth's core channel cannot be said to be a wrong decision.

"Forget it Hines, let's take action now that the matter is over!

The accuracy of these magic crystal cannons is too poor to be of great use.

Anyway, the giant giant-footed centipede has already escaped, so we might as well destroy the entrance to the center of the earth and cut off the return path of the remaining centipede army! "

After listening to Venerable Wilson's persuasion, Hines nodded immediately.

He has been convinced that since the situation has deteriorated, nothing can be said to make the traitor Giant Centipede easier.

……

Union camp.

Seeing the intelligence constantly coming from Yangguan County, the senior leaders of the coalition forces were smiling.

The enemy dog ​​bites dog, and it actually leads to a lose-lose ending, which is really unexpected.

But as the coach, Hudson didn't have any joy on his face.

The remaining power of the Giant Foot Centipede successfully broke through the blockade of the Demon Crocodile Army, but failed to withdraw all the troops. However, the channel to the center of the earth was blocked.

This means that any hope that the two races will continue to fight in the inner earth world will most likely come to naught.

The giant-footed centipede, whose vitality is severely damaged, will only do one thing when he returns to his lair - to recuperate.

Having lost contact with the surface world, the demon crocodiles in the inner earth world also dare not act rashly.

In order not to be taken advantage of by others, in the next few years, neither tribe will dare to start a war without authorization.

If the inner earth world does not fall into chaos, it is bound to be difficult for the Southeast Province to develop the inner earth world in the future.

In addition to the unoptimistic long-term plan, the blockage of the geocentric channel also means that the "bait" is gone.

The loss of the earth's center channel seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Crocodile clan, but it also loosened the shackles on them.

Without the constraints of a must-save place, the space that the demon crocodile army can move to is no longer Yangguan County.

"Pass the order, the worship regiment and the cavalry regiment will set off for Yangguan County immediately!

Earl Pierce, you will personally lead this operation.

The mission is very simple, just keep an eye on the crocodile army to prevent them from evacuating, and at the same time, don’t fight them! "

Hudson ordered decisively.

The most advantageous bait was gone, but the remaining army of tens of thousands of demon crocodiles was also quite a bait.

He didn't believe that the Demon Crocodile Clan would be willing to give up this power when there was hope for rescue.

As for the participating centipede army, it is even simpler. As long as they are trapped inside, the demon crocodile army will help clean up the remnants.

"As ordered!"

Governor Pierce replied immediately.

A cavalry regiment keeping an eye on tens of thousands of remaining soldiers is a small task that is really not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for Hudson's order not to allow him to fight the enemy in a decisive battle, Pierce would have been confident that he could rely on the cavalry army to defeat the enemy.

Ever since they saw the lethality of cavalry against the Earth's Inner Race, everyone's impression of the Earth's Inner Race has continued to decline.

A group of uncivilized natives who had never even had cavalry were difficult to attract the attention of nobles with knightly backgrounds.

Coupled with the impact of continuous victories on the battlefield, the knightly arrogance of the human noble officers was even more aroused.

Even the nobles of the Hessian Kingdom have changed their mentality from initial fear to current contempt.

In fact, not only the races in the center of the earth, but also the human race has a psychological advantage over most races on the continent.

The only people who can make everyone fear are those who have personally suffered defeat at the hands of the opponent.

For example: more than ten years ago, the mentality of the nobles of the Kingdom of Alpha towards the orcs. He despises their brutality and is afraid of their strength.

After winning several conference battles and shifting the offensive and defensive momentum, everyone only had contempt in their hearts.

The orcs who have suppressed the Alpha Kingdom for hundreds of years can all come out of the shadows after several victories, not to mention the earth-centered races that have just emerged.

This is a unique hegemonic bonus for the mainland overlord, and cannot be matched by other races.

……

The Demon Crocodile King's Court.

Seeing the battle report coming from the front line, the Demon Crocodile King almost collapsed on the spot.

Whatever you are afraid of, come here!

The giant centipede broke through their blockade. For the safety of the royal capital, the defenders had no choice but to destroy the passage, leaving most of the centipede army behind.

There is nothing wrong with the decision, but the consequences are quite serious.

From this moment on, they also followed the footsteps of the giant centipede and suddenly became rootless ducks.

The original plan to separate the two provinces has now come to nothing.

"Your Majesty, the passage to the center of the earth has been lost, and there is no point in continuing to reinforce Yangguan County.

Directly order the defenders to evacuate and leave the remnants of those abominable centipedes to the humans to take care of! "
