"Well, you may be right..."

For some reason, Legolas stopped talking after saying this.

After the two quickly cleaned up Astolfo's body, they washed themselves hastily, and dragged their tired bodies into a deep sleep.

Chapter 15 Chaos Lord 'Darcyrus'

Just as everyone in this small army pier was resting, a huge army of Chaos landed on the northern beach of Ultsuan. Most of them were northern human barbarians who had been blessed by the evil gods. They didn't care about the cold weather at all. The weather exposed most of his body, and on his head he either wore a horned helmet or a skull obtained after winning a duel with whomever he did not know.

There were so many that the entire beach was piled up, and then more keelboats came ashore and jumped from the incredible number of Chaos Warriors.

These beings who are close to two meters tall and wearing heavy chaotic full-body plate armor are all creations that have been approved by the evil god to a certain extent. The plate armor on their bodies is strong and strange, full of strange characters and irregular barbs. They no longer know hunger and What is exhaustion, the only thought in my mind all day is to offer sacrifices to my master, for this reason, fighting and killing each other is extremely common in the army of chaos.

At this time, Chaos warriors fighting each other and watching and roaring desperately can be seen everywhere on the entire beach. The terrifying cries from the entire beach can be heard several kilometers away. A full morning of landing is enough to make this beach Drenched in the blood of the filthy fallen, and left behind dozens of corpses.But this loss is nothing to the Chaos army that landed.

In one morning, hundreds of ships with strange shapes, most of which obviously did not conform to the basic ship rules, put down more than [-] blasphemous beings, including many strange-looking, different eggs of chaos and mutated beasts , if there is a normal intelligent creature present at this time, it will definitely be frightened by the scene in front of you, because you can inspect the entire Chaos army at will, but you will never find the same mutant beast or Chaos egg.

The weirdness and unpredictability of the chaotic wind makes all creatures affected by it have their own mutant images.

Suddenly, strange changes began to occur at the edge of the forest not far from the temporary camp on the beach of the chaos army.

The entire real space gradually began to distort and become dark. The violent and evil aura spread out from this distorted space. The birds and beasts within a few kilometers in the vicinity began to flee in panic. The wind made the devil appear in reality, and an existence beyond the limit of normal people's imagination stepped out of the air.

This is a chaotic demon over five meters tall. Its figure can only be explained by indescribable. Its whole body is like a complex of insects, butterflies and bugs that failed to mutate, and its limbs are completely enchanted by various kinds of enchantments. Its wings are the same size as its own, and there are two huge eyes on the wings. The colorful pupils make people feel creepy at a glance. If the worldview is rigid and weak-willed In life, just looking at the san value can clear it to zero and go crazy in place.

Its real name is known by no one except Chaos God, and it is also its root. Purebred demons will never really die unless their real name is mastered. to welcome the next world.

Dalsilus is the alias of this demon, strange and eerie like all Chaos Demons.

After coming to the present world from the warp, the first thing this hideous creature did was to wantonly vent on the "weak creatures" of the Slayer who had the same gods as him.

Its swift movements were so fast that afterimages appeared, and its huge body nimbly and efficiently slaughtered the living creatures around it.

No matter what kind of creature it is, it has no power to resist in front of its weaponized limbs. Whether it is a Chaos Egg, a Chaos Warrior, or an ordinary Chaos Warrior, it will be torn into countless pieces at will, until the blood soaks its entire body. It stopped after the body.

Then roared its first sentence:

"Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God!"

"Roar!!!!"

....................................

After the big demon's random killing, the whole team became much more stable, and no Chaos servant dared to act presumptuously in front of the big demon.

When the entire Chaos Legion began to march away from the beach, there was no complete and clean place in the entire area. All natural creations were destroyed by these creatures full of power and chaotic thoughts, leaving behind wreckage and a large number of corpses. Covered the entire beach.

As they penetrated into the kingdom of Nagareth, the corruption of chaos began to corrupt the land. Many animals in the forest were corrupted and mutated into anthropomorphic creatures in just a few hours, deer orcs, bird orcs, turtles, etc. Weird forms such as orcs may appear, and more and more mutated beasts have joined their army, so that the speed of replenishment can barely keep up with the speed of their internal fighting, so that the number of [-] barely remains unchanged.

Under the influence of the wind of chaos, certain things appeared in many corners that no one had noticed on weekdays.

Among the creatures that joined the army of chaos, especially the creatures whose lower body resembles a lizard and whose upper body resembles a human are particularly eye-catching. They are one of the best war machines obtained after the chaos corrupted the world: dragon demons.

The strength of this kind of giant beast is so strong that a few heads are enough to break through an army composed of mortals. Their net height is higher than that of Lustria's wild tyrannosaurus, and they are all about six meters tall. The tail is even closer to ten meters. The huge claws on both hands and the powerful tail are deadly weapons, not to mention that after being equipped with a giant hammer and giant axe, their lethality makes everyone's scalp numb when they see it.

Under the suppression of the big demon, although the internal consumption is much smaller, the messy marching team and the noisy noise still make their movement extremely huge. You can see the huge tree felled by the huge team from a few kilometers away. Movement and the flag of bones held high.

……

At this time, two pairs of eyes are staring at them closely from a distance.

Thanks to the efforts of the Old Sages of Lustria, in the first 1000 years after the collapse of the two-level portal, the attention of the Chaos army was always focused on that magical continent, thus maintaining the peace of Austria. The Su'an elves wantonly use the wind of magic flowing from the two-level portal to improve their lives. Maybe they haven't achieved much in military affairs, but they still have some merits. One of the achievements is the success of the elves. Tamed flying creatures such as giant eagles as his mounts.

At this moment, this huge eagle is carrying elf sentinels to monitor the movements of the Chaos army above the sky.

Two elf sentinels riding eagles in the sky carefully observed the situation below with their magic and their own eyes. They were flying at an altitude of nearly 2000 meters. From the ground, only two black spots could be seen flying, chaos Demons may be far more powerful than mortals, but they are not invincible when they appear in this world. At least there is no good way to deal with the elf sentinels flying high in the sky.

After observing for a long time, the elf sentinel riding on the giant eagle took off his cold mask and took out a talisman from under his leather jacket. Communicate with each other over a distance, but the power gems that need to be consumed for this are quite expensive.After activating the talisman, the elf sentinel who led him shouted loudly against the cold wind and air flow high in the sky without hesitation, because otherwise his voice could not be clearly conveyed.

"The number of fallen people who landed this time is quite large, with a total of at least more than [-] corrupt creatures along the way! The number of war behemoths and full-armored fallen people has exceeded [-]!! The leader is Chaos Demon !"

After calling out the information quickly, there was a reply from the opposite side, and the sentinel immediately stuck the amulet tightly to his long ears.

"Good job, continue to monitor these fallen people, we will send personnel to change shifts with you!"

After talking about the voice transmission amulet, it dimmed. The person on the opposite side disconnected the connection. This kind of "mobile phone" of the ancient Warhammer version consumes a lot of energy every minute and every second to make a call, so every sentence has to be done. to quick and short.

The high elf riding on the back of the giant eagle didn't care. After stuffing the amulet back to his chest, he quickly put on a cold mask on his flushed face and continued to monitor the movement below.

The marching ranks of the Chaos Legion are so long that even from 2000 meters in the air you can easily see a crooked marching formation marching along the road, destroying everything that can be destroyed and burning any Ulthuan elves built buildings.

Their purpose is apparently one of the major cities of Nagareth in the Northern Kingdom, Tardrodel.

At the same time, all the neighboring kingdoms of the Outer Ring took action, and began to mobilize all forces to move all the population that could be taken away to the nearest big city or deep in the mountains, and troops from various places were also gathered to head north. The largest cities are Tal Anlek and Tal Drodel.

The spearmen and archers mobilized from all corners of the kingdom were either walking or taking chariots to quickly gather in the two main cities of Alec and Drowdel, and the nearby Tyrannok even sent a large number of The chariot troops came quickly to support them, but it would take a week at the earliest to arrive from Taranok, the capital of Tyranok.

As for the Kingdom of the Inner Ring, it will take longer, perhaps 10 days and a half months, before the vanguard can set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Nagareth through the canyons that separate the Ulthuan Mountains. Take the flying mount and come first.

……

There is no doubt about the strength of the Chaos Army, and field battles with them are the last way elves in this era should use. A large number of heavy armored infantry and more monsters have too much advantage in field battles. 'The elven troops charged away to engage in melee massacres.Therefore, the elven princes and generals of the elven kingdoms have always believed that it is best to rely on the huge wall system of the city wall fortress to consume enough chaotic main forces before seeking a decisive battle in the wild. The soldiers and people in Jundun were evacuated and gathered in the big city.

Carter and his party also received a formal military order at noon, carrying all weapons and materials that could be taken away to the nearest Taljodel, and protecting the people along the way. As for Sast and his party, they were arrested The main force of the kingdom's chariots was transferred back.

The military order was like a mountain, and the group obviously didn't want to be surrounded by a large group of Chaos troops, so they packed up two carts of supplies, equipment and supplies on the night they received the order, and after locking the army pier, Carter and his group went under the leadership of Aragorn. Quickly marched to evacuate in the direction of Zhuoder City.

No.16 Chapter Tal-Drowder (1)

The filthy existence polluted the land of Ulthuan, and the chaos and corruption caused the trees to wither and the ground to dry up, and the whole nature was crying in pain.

A large number of farmland and villages were destroyed, and some elves who lived in remote places and failed to escape in time were sacrificed by the Chaos army as a family unit.

These poor people were decapitated, gutted and smeared into strange patterns.

The frightened and desperate elf souls satisfied the four gods, and the blessings they bestowed made the Chaos army even more crazily destroying and wreaking havoc everywhere.

The Eternal Queen in Avalon directly felt the pain of this land, which made her extremely angry, but it would take time for the reinforcements she sent to arrive.

The angry Asurs can do nothing about it. Without powerful mages and dragon troops, it is absolutely a stupid choice to fight the Chaos Legion in the wild.

Therefore, we can only turn our anger into motivation and step up preparations for war.

…………

Three days after leaving Jundun, the ten people from Far East Dun rushed to the city closest to them: Taljodel, which is one of the largest cities in the Northern Kingdom, and after years of wars, the entire city has passed through It has undergone militarized reconstruction, and a large number of towers and tall city walls have been carefully arranged.

The massive wind of magic generated after the collapse of the two-level portal made the elves of Ulthuan develop a splendid civilization and a prosperous city like a fish in water.

Although the focus is not on the military, the large amount accumulated in the people's livelihood has made the Vaal craftsmen clearly understand that a straight city wall cannot exert its maximum effect.

Therefore, the shape of the city wall made around Taljodel was deliberately built into a star shape, reaching a height of 11 meters, and divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part is a normal vertical city wall, but the upper part protrudes and is in There are a large number of rooms inside to increase the defense strength, and the uppermost layer is a normal city wall. Although such a 'hollow' design has reduced the strength a lot, at least there is no need to worry too much when facing the army of chaos.In addition, dozens of towers were built and ballistas were arranged to launch powerful and thick crossbows to deal with those terrifying giant beasts or heavy armored infantry.Not only that, the city gate and other important parts were built, which increased the difficulty of breaking through the city gate and optimized the lethality.

When Taljodel came into Carter's eyes, this 'ancient fortress city' shocked him a lot. Although he came from another modern society, he had seen the preserved ancient city walls of China, but the complete There are not many ruins that have all the functions of an ancient fortress city, not to mention the deterrence and sense of security brought by fully armed elves.

The land of Nagareth has the largest population and the largest land in Ulthuan, but years of wars have forced the elves in this land to learn how to fight and defend themselves. Most of the soldiers standing on the city wall They are all citizen soldiers with their own weapons. The long lifespan of the elves brings a lot of practice time, so even the citizen soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time can show good quality, but the discipline and military formation are quite average. It may not be obvious when defending the city, but it will be exposed in field battles.

However, it is also understandable that the customs of the elf countries make it difficult to have large-scale brutal civil wars, so military development, like many primitive races, is biased towards individual bravery, rather than emphasizing the power of discipline and formation.

Most of the citizen soldiers who were arranged by the nobles to stand guard on the city wall were whispering to each other without knowing what they were talking about, and their costumes and armors were also different, giving people the feeling of a militia. Only recruits like Carter performed slightly better. , but it is not much better, only the uniform military uniforms and the crow badge on the shield give them a little more formality.

"A total of 10 guards at the extreme east pier were present, and one was killed."

Aragorn, with black hair and blue eyes, immediately contacted the noble officer in charge of gathering the skirmishers when he came to the gate of the city.

"Okay, give me the military badge"

This is an officer seated at a table, dressed in elaborate magical armor and a horsehair helmet with wings and wings in the style of the high elves.

After taking Aragorn's military badge and rummaging through the previous materials for a while, he asked about the situation of the fallen soldiers.

"We cooperated with a chariot unit to attack a Chaos scout team at night four days ago. He was killed while dealing with a Chaos warrior. We hope to contact his family as soon as possible."

"Well, I've made a note. We will contact the family members as soon as possible. The body will be handed over to us, and it will be sent to the funeral home for safekeeping."

Ulthuan has developed a fairly developed industry that is not found in other parts of the world with the years of war, that is: "funeral home"

Because of the prevalence of the wind of chaos, even in Ulthuan, polluted corpses often resurrect from the cemetery and become terrible creations. Therefore, the high elves in Ulthuan, except for a small number of nobles, can afford to build and protect the remains. Most people would choose to cremate their bodies before burying them in the magical cemetery, so the funeral home business began to develop throughout Ulthuan.

In addition to 'modifying' and restoring the corpse of the elf after death, these funeral homes can also provide a one-stop service, from cremation to burial, and a series of things can be arranged, and the price is reasonable, so many elf families will arrange these things for the funeral home Over time, they even cooperated with each other to develop a huge intelligence network, which was enough for them to confirm the identity of the corpse in a short time and contact the family members to claim it.

Of course the most important thing for them is to pay for the 'funeral home'.

"Okay, I don't know what our next arrangement is?"

"Go to the temporary barracks in the east of the city to rest and wait for arrangements. There may be training and rehearsals in the next few days. You'd better make some preparations! Here is your military card, pass, and proof of stationing."

After receiving the item and thanking him, Aragorn took a few of his men across the city gate and entered the city of Taljodel.

Many of them came to this city for the first time, including Carter, so they were all very interested in everything around them, and their heads with pointed helmets kept looking left and right.

Most of the elf buildings in Ulthuan are two- and three-story masonry huts. The color tone is mainly white and blue, and occasionally a little red and gold are used as embellishments. The architectural style is quite refreshing. The distribution of buildings in the whole city It is even more obvious that after reasonable distribution, they will not be built randomly one by one. Most of the buildings have shops on the first floor and houses on the upper floors. The city walls are built extremely tall based on the local natural terrain. Statues of the goddess Aisha or the goddess of fate Lilith can be seen everywhere in the city, and the holy fire altar of the main god Asuryan is enshrined at the highest point of the whole city.

In addition, the public settings are even more complete, and there will be a small courtyard at intervals for pedestrians to rest and enjoy the shade.

This is the first time that the elves' culture is so vividly displayed in front of Carter. Although Carter, who has been staying in the remote Xiaojundun and resting in the countryside of his hometown, can get a glimpse of the culture of the Asurs, it is far inferior to The shock of facing this big city.

Some carts are selling goods not far from the city gate:

Bacon, seasonal vegetables, porcelain, cloth, fruit, salt, farm tools, etc., all things that can be used in life can be found in the market near the city gate.

Perhaps the elves in the countryside are more inclined to barter or trade with each other by means of debts, but in this big city, as long as you have money, most goods and services can be bought.

But thinking of his own poor pockets, Carter had to confine himself to looking instead of consuming.

The 450 silver shillings obtained from killing the Chaos scene last time have been divided, but most of them were given to Astolfo and the two dead comrades first, and the rest of the people each received a few silver shillings. The shillings can be spent in food, lodging and consumption in less than two or three days if you let go of your hands and feet.

No.17 Chapter Tal-Drowder (2)

There are quite a lot of people gathered near the commercial street at the gate of the city.

There is still time before the arrival of the Chaos army. At this time, the city has not yet entered martial law. The streets are full of elf citizen soldiers and recruits wearing armor and daggers. These elves from all corners of the kingdom live in their own villages There are not many opportunities to come to big cities in one-third of an acre of land. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people are buying and consuming some goods or services that they have no chance to come into contact with on weekdays.

The bar on the ground floor of the hotel is the favorite of the young Asur elves. The young men and women gathered inside are joking and talking about interesting things with each other. Fruit wine is drunk one glass after another. The young people who were suppressed by the rural life in the village saw each other, and went directly to open a room upstairs to continue 'communication'. The booming business made the owner of the tavern show an incomparably bright smile on his face.

The dessert shop that sells desserts has gathered many elves. Before the sweets have discovered an efficient method of sugar production, even Osuen, which is called a blessed land in the medieval Warhammer world, is a rare item. The sweetness is basically the same on weekdays. It is tasted by natural products such as bees, so many young people want to taste what 'pure' desserts are like. Sweetness is the nature of most creatures.

In front of the stalls set up by some small vendors, there are many elves buying things that are rarely seen in the countryside, such as exquisite jewelry, mirrors, gorgeous clothing and other commodities.

There is a huge gap between Usuan's urban life and rural life. The relatively "luxury" life and spending power in the city cannot be kept up with by the countryside.Slow country life and land make most elves self-sufficient, so the need for trade behavior is relatively small, and because Azul's relatively low fertility rate makes land compatibility difficult, there are more rural elves It is a way to replace the currency system with barter or debt of favor, so the currency that comes in on weekdays is kept.

This behavior led to a lot of spare money in the hands of the village elf citizen soldiers who responded to the call, and brought the commercial behavior of Taljodel, a city that was about to face war, to a new peak.

This is why many years later in the land of Ulthuan, the Hedonic Sect will develop and grow stronger. The extravagance of the big cities can easily corrupt the newly promoted elf nobles and commoners ideologically. But the biggest reason why elves without enough vision will be corrupted.

At this time, Carter, who had the soul of a modern person on the way to the camp, actually didn't think much of the level of "prosperity" in front of him. On the contrary, the various buildings, temples and huge statues that ordinary elves were accustomed to made this modern man The soul feels a strange shock.

In particular, the majestic temple built at the highest point in the city made this modern person with low religious beliefs curious.

It's not about how much you believe in gods. Although there are true gods in this world, you must know that elf gods are very pitiful, and Carter doesn't look forward to them too much.But in modern society, there are not many socially effective buildings that occupy a large area, are gorgeous and have little effect, and they are far from this scale.

In addition to the short-lived and deformed commercial prosperity of the city of Taljodel before the real war, the whole city is still preparing for the upcoming battle.

Under the rule of the Everqueen, Ulthuan is quite good at protecting nature, but at this time, in order to prevent the natural creations near the city from being corrupted and used, the elves had to start logging and transport back piles of wood continuously. , was stored in a safe place, and the people in charge of logging had to cut down most of the trees near the city within two days to avoid being used by the army of chaos.

The felled trees were all transported into the city as a war reserve.

In addition, a large number of equipment were formed in the hands of Vaal's craftsmen, and the weapons in stock were taken out to arm the low-level elves.

Another big difference between urban residents and rural residents is that there are many poor people, either because of war or business failure. Families, a large amount of weapons and equipment were taken out and handed over to them.

At this time, the entire city has gathered no less than [-] people and more than [-] soldiers.

Although most elf civilians can fight as long as they undergo emergency training, the low discipline makes many elf nobles and generals understand that the militia is useless most of the time, and it will even be a disservice at critical moments, so they can only be short and tall. , to recruit some citizen soldiers, but not all citizens.

A book is long, no book is short.

Carter and his party were arranged to rest in a tent immediately after reporting at the military camp in the city, and they were incorporated into a temporarily organized combat barracks. After eating something, I started to rest.

..........................................

Silent all night.

As the surrounding tents gradually increased, more and more various elf soldiers from all over Ulthuan appeared in the barracks, and Carter opened his eyes severely.After memorizing the coat of arms, he could quickly understand which kingdom that person was from.

After coming to the city, he realized that he was too one-sided about Ulthuan's culture before.

Carter, who only went back and forth between Jundun and the small village, has not actually been exposed to the splendor of this civilization. Take food as an example. All kinds of small vendors and snack bars emerged in the big city of Del, but Carter's cyst was still not very full.

Although the rewards for annihilating the Chaos Reconnaissance Team have been distributed, Carter only has two gold crowns, which is not a lot of assets.

Not to mention paintings, plays, exhibitions and other deeper things.

Carter did attend the free dance party held in the west square last night. Although there were not many supplies, the joyful atmosphere made many elves who were depressed feel confident about the upcoming battle.

The elves who like to build city walls on the mountain, there are also a large number of houses, shops and temples built on the mountainside or on small soil bags in Drowdel.

Carter, who was given a half-day vacation, sat in a dessert shop built on the mountainside with his best friends Legolas and Astolfo.
