Lord of Lowland

Chapter 44 The War Begins

The great priests of the major temples also dispatched to participate in this battle. The dispatch of the great priests is nothing more than the most eye-catching thing.High priests are people who dedicate their entire lives to the gods they enshrine. They are also bridges between gods and the world. And the great priests of other major temples are quietly praying to their respective gods.Around them gathered high-ranking priests from the major temples.

The army slowly started to move towards the Devil's Gate in units of Earl and above. Cecil and others also marched towards the Devil's Gate in Count Cassicud's team.Unlike the last time he went to the south, this time Cecil was following a large army.He is not as casual and free as last time, and every move has to keep up with the speed of the large army. Sanders has adapted to all this very well, and is even a little happy.This is the holy life of the regular army that he has been looking forward to for a long time, but Anne, a dragon-veined warlock who has always been characterized by her unique behavior, is extremely uncomfortable with it, but she also forces herself to endure it for Cecil.

The location of the Devil's Gate is actually in the northwest of the empire. After more than a month of marching, Earl Kasikud finally arrived at the frontline city of the Devil's Gate - Tris City. Tris City is the Kingdom of Soroland's frontline city of the Devil's Gate. The largest city, the most elite dragoon soldiers in the kingdom are stationed all year round.Cecil couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this 30-meter-high city wall. Thinking about it, Wharton City's city wall was like a toy house.

There are countless defensive measures on the city wall of Tris. The city wall is covered with poisonous mandalas like thorns. It is the result of the cultivation of the great Druid of the Elven Kingdom. The water in the moat is all blessed Holy water has an almost instant killing effect on low-level demon creatures, and there are even 4 magic cannons!This kind of cannon can bombard holy demons and even suppress the attack of legendary demon lords. Of course, the consumption is also extremely astonishing. It will consume 10 magic power crystal cores without firing a cannon. It is conceivable that only these 4 cannons can What resources are needed to support this hopeless war.

Gustav, the acting city lord of Tellis City and the leader of the Dragon Knights, personally received the Earl and his entourage. The Dragoons are an elite force in the kingdom that is as famous as the former Guards. The three captains, the first officer and the second deputy, are legendary. Level strong man.They defended the city of Tris and faced frontal attacks from a large number of demons every day.

After everyone rested in Tris City for three days, Count Kasikud received an order from the kingdom, and his troops were sent to garrison in a small town called Solo City in the northwest of Tris City.Solo City, as a small branch of Tris City, is a city that demons and humans have repeatedly fought for.After years of war, the human kingdom gradually abandoned this small city as its troops were depleted. Near Tris City, there were at least a dozen such abandoned branch cities. With the kingdom's large-scale conscription, these ten Several abandoned small cities were quickly recovered by the human kingdom.

Count Kasikud led his army to Solo City quickly. After humans abandoned this place, the demons were not interested in occupying it for a long time. After killing all the soldiers and civilians who had not had time to withdraw, the demons left some below level 20 The servant demon stayed behind, and then led the troops to leave here.The earl's army easily wiped out these remaining troops, and then occupied the long-abandoned city hall.

Solo City was originally a city where humans and demons fought fiercely with each other. The soldiers and civilians here either died in the flames of war, or migrated away long ago.The Earl couldn't even find a decent husband, so there was nothing he could do.The Earl had no choice but to find all the soldiers below the 20th level in his army to serve as civilian husbands. These soldiers happily accepted this suggestion. After all, not everyone wants to make contributions. What these weak soldiers want most is how to survive the war. life.

Fortunately, Baron Kuresta has always been rigorous in running the army and has extremely high self-requirements. There are no soldiers under his command less than level 20. Although he and his daughter are the only two professionals, at least all the soldiers under his command are They are standard warrior templates, and they are all above level 30, so they are also qualified soldiers.Therefore, the soldiers under Baron Curesta were not transferred to civilians, and the organization was preserved. After removing the civilians, the count reorganized the troops and obtained 700 people. Then he sent 200 more people to maintain the logistics defense line, and then obtained 500 warriors.

Cecil could see that Earl Kasikold was also trying to keep soldiers who were unable to participate in the battle away from the battlefield, and try not to waste his manpower.Because the scale of the mobilization this time was too large, in order to make up the number of people to perfuse the king, some people with poor quality were also transferred into the army. In order not to let these people slow down on the battlefield, the earl had to strip them out of the army at the front line to regroup. Elite soldiers, this is also a kind of helplessness.

It took about 5 days. Basically, the Earl had almost cleaned up Solo City, so he sent a team of troops to clean up the nearby beasts polluted by demon power. There are many beasts around Solo City. Stronghold, the blood of the devil polluted them, and they traded their loyalty for the power of the devil.The wild beasts evolved into monsters to strengthen themselves, and when the demon army attacked, these monsters would also act as accomplices to destroy humans.

Baron Kuresta's team was regarded by the Earl as a relatively strong team, so it was sent the heaviest task. What Cecil and his team had to solve was a place called the Blue Light Cave at the most northwest end of Solo City. of Warcraft.This group of level 20 wild beasts, which were between wolves and dogs, were all demonized into ferocious demon wolves.The average level suddenly increased by 10 levels.

But it wasn't too difficult for Cecil and others. This kind of monster couldn't be blocked by Cecil's sword, and Annie's was even able to kill five or six monsters with a single fireball.Even the so-called leader of the magic wolf didn't make any effort at all.He didn't even resist when he fell down.After all, unlike those demonized creatures polluted by the blood of the gods in the Chengguang Forest at that time, these demonized creatures polluted by the blood of the demon lord didn't even have a runaway state, and Cecil even had a simple mode of fighting.

Although the combat effectiveness of the others is slightly weaker, under the blessing of Cecil's powerful aura, their abilities have been strengthened by more than 60%. Their single combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary Warcraft. Together with the Baron, Talis and Sang. Des, the demon wolves in the cave were quickly cleared away.

After the battle, Cecil looked at his experience and was disappointed to find that he didn't gain any experience at all. It seemed that he didn't gain any experience from killing monsters that were 10 levels lower than him.You must challenge monsters that are stronger than you or at the same level as you to gain experience points.And the monsters here didn’t drop any equipment.It seems that the things dropped by the monsters are also related to the level of the wild monsters I killed.Speaking of which, I have received almost no equipment since the last big explosion of 3 pieces of silver equipment, including the powerful Titan, which did not drop any equipment. Of course, the Titan may not drop anything because of its special mission, and in fact, I received it from the Titan. The attribute rewards you get are far more than any equipment.

While Cecil was still thinking about these things, Baron Curesta was already gathering his team back.In this matter, Anne proposed to go to the front for investigation. This opinion was immediately rejected by Baron Kuresta. In fact, the Blue Light Cave was already at the forefront of the war. Going further, it was completely out of the combined area that the two sides were fighting for. It is a territory occupied by demons. There have been no human footprints there for at least several decades, and it is actually extremely dangerous.As a captain, the Baron will never allow his soldiers to get involved in unknown risks.

But Anne didn't give in at all, and insisted on reconnaissance, Cecil suddenly felt strange. Annie rarely expresses opinions on this kind of military operations. Far more time is spent thinking about the military actions of the troops.This time, even Cecil was surprised that he was so persistent in proposing to carry out military operations. Cecil wanted to know why?He wanted to persuade Anne first.

But when he was about to speak, he felt that his hand was tightly held by a small hand. Cecil saw that it was Anne holding her hand tightly.Anne insisted so stubbornly to go ahead to investigate, there must be something special to be found, so Cecil changed his mind.He said to Baron Kuresta: "Master Baron, let me see this, I will take Anne and Sanders to the front for reconnaissance, and you will take your troops back first. Once you find anything or find any danger, we will should be able to be withdrawn immediately.

Baron Kuresta knew that Cecil and the three of them were all very powerful, so even if it would be ineffective if they went to reconnaissance, at least there would be no problem in self-protection.In addition, he also knew that Annie was a senior apprentice of Archmage Antonio, so it was not easy to restrain him too much, but he had always felt ashamed of Cecil, so he didn't want him to take risks.But right now since he insisted on going, it was hard to say anything, so he had to give a thousand instructions and then lead the team back.

The baron led the team away from the battlefield gradually, and Cecil led Annie and Sanders to sneak towards the Devil's Gate.There is a valley ahead, and the other side of the valley is the territory of the devil.The three of them quietly turned over a valley. On the way, they also encountered some idle monsters or low-level demons. The three of them all raised their knives and fell straight away. They climbed to the top of the mountain and turned over to another mountain. between.
