Chapter 397 Excavation
The group of people led by the Duke had retreated to about a hundred meters left of the cave. Seeing the intense scene at the entrance of the cave, a follower next to the Duke sighed and said, "Duke, it seems that this battle is not easy to fight!"
The Duke looked at the bodies flying out faintly, as if the death of those people had nothing to do with him, and he only heard him say, "Codo, when will our quarrymen and laborers come?"
The follower said, "Report to the Duke, this place is more than a hundred kilometers away from the edge of the mountain range, and the ordinary people march very slowly, and they will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to arrive here."
The Duke paused and said, "This is really not good news!" After saying that, he stopped talking, but just looked coldly at the one-sided massacre at the entrance of the cave!
The battle lasted for more than two hours, and no less than two thousand people died at the entrance of the cave, but the result was that it did not achieve any results except for some of Huang Zhong's physical strength. However, the people outside were not clear about this situation, because from the outside, it was pitch black inside, and it was difficult to see other things except for the flashing sword lights and sword shadows. As long as the people entering were killed, they did not know whether there were casualties on the other side.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and it was almost evening.
The duke suddenly said, "Find some semi-dried plants and ignite the fire to smoke these people. Even if they can't smoke them, they have to let the other party go into the cave, otherwise they will guard the entrance of the cave and we will be very passive."
With the order of the Duke, thousands of soldiers moved and searched for half-dried grass everywhere. Perhaps the most in the woods was the grass. In less than a moment, bundles of grass were piled at the entrance of the cave.
"Light!" The Duke ordered.
The soldiers blocking the entrance of the cave quickly moved away, the forage was quickly ignited, and thick smoke came out and floated into the air.
Immediately, dozens of soldiers were fanning the smoke with various tools, trying to pour the smoke into the cave. However, they had just started. Three people suddenly rushed out of the cave and killed the soldiers who had fanned them. In less than a moment, the soldiers were killed all over!
"Stop them! Don't let them return to the cave!" The Duke reacted the fastest and immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time he rushed over in an instant.
However, the Duke and others were nearly 100 meters away from the cave. It was impossible to arrive immediately. After the three of them killed the people, they immediately turned back to the cave. Although there were soldiers around them intercepting each other, they were all instantly knocked away and had no effect at all.
When the Duke arrived, the other party's figure had already sank into the cave. What made him very confused was that not only did the other party kill people, but the piles of forage disappeared.
Kodo also rushed to the Duke at this time. He only heard him say, "Duke, the other party must have space equipment and loaded all the fodder away. However, this also shows that they are very afraid of us using thick smoke to smoke them. It can be inferred that the cave is not deep at all, and it is likely to be a dead hole. Perhaps we can continue to use this method to force them out."
The Duke nodded. He played with a strange black bead in his hand and said, "Continue to send someone to harvest the forage! At the same time, he sent someone to search everywhere to see if there are any other exits in this cave. I still don't believe it, they can hide in it for the rest of their lives."
Feisen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about what happened just now, he shut up. However, another player couldn't help but step forward and said, "Duke, this sunshine may have space skills. If the other party is forced into a hurry, he may use the space skills to transfer it elsewhere."
The Duke said calmly: "No need to worry, I have this ban on the air ball. Within a radius of 1,000 meters, all space skills are prohibited. As long as we bite each other tightly, even if we have great skills, this sunshine will not be able to escape from this cave."
When the player heard this, he immediately looked at the black bead in the Duke's hand. No wonder this guy kept holding it like a treasure. It turned out to be a treasure. If he hadn't been afraid of the Duke's strength, these players would have really couldn't help but compete for the Forbidden Sky Ball.
Soon, a large amount of forage was moved to the entrance of the cave again, and thick smoke came out again. This time, the Duke and others did not stay away, but hid next to the entrance of the cave. They were just waiting for the people inside to come out again, and they were about to rush up to intercept them.
However, the other party seemed to have expected their thoughts, and as the thick smoke floated into the cave in waves, there was no other movement except for the occasional coughing sounds.
"Continue to fan me! I'll see how long they can endure it!" said the Duke.
After a while, Kodo frowned and said, "Duke, it seems that something is wrong. These people don't seem to be afraid of thick smoke. They probably have prepared for it. They just put out the forage, perhaps just to cause our misjudgment and delay time. It seems that there is also a person who is good at calculating."
At this moment, the generals who led their troops to search for exits around rushed back and brought them a message, that is, no exit was found on the entire mountain.
The Duke trusted this general very much. After hearing this, he looked happy and said, "Continue to send people to search the surrounding mountains. Be sure to be foolproof. At the same time, more combatants are sent to me. Be sure to make sure that a fly can't fly within a hundred miles."
"Yes!" The general turned and left.
"Soren! Go up and test the strength of the man inside, try to kill him as much as possible. If it is not possible, come back!" The Duke ordered again.
Another follower next to the duke immediately took the order, then took a giant sword and walked towards the cave...
This person is one of the people who Yang Tian failed to find out his strength.
After Sauron entered the cave, a huge collision of weapons immediately came to mind inside, and he could not decide the outcome!
A moment later, a scream suddenly came from inside, and then a figure flew backwards and fell to the ground.
The Duke saw at a glance that this man was his subordinate Sauron. He was shocked and immediately stepped forward to help him up, but found an arrow inserted into his chest and coming out from his back. At this time, Sauron was startled and breathed more and less.
Then he heard Sauron say intermittently: "Duke... Lord! The other party uses... a long sword... and his strength is slightly stronger than... me..... Someone behind... sneak attacks with... a bow and arrows! Pay attention..." After saying that, Sauron's head turned, and he immediately died of anger.
"Soren!Soren!" The Duke shook Sauren's body, as if he didn't believe that this subordinate who had been with him for many years had died here!
"Attack me! Don't let these miscellaneous people have a chance to rest!" The duke stood up with anger and ordered with murderous intent.
Kodo also saw that the Duke was in a bad mood at the moment. Although he wanted to persuade the Duke to stop such a meaningless attack, he did not dare to touch this bad intention. He immediately arranged the army to start attacking the cave...
The battle lasted until the next morning. Now these troops were already afraid of the dark cave. The lucky thing in the hearts of those who wanted to take advantage of the waters to complete this super mission has disappeared without a trace, because so far, there have been no less than 70,000 or 80,000 troops who have invaded the cave according to the order, but so many people have not been able to push the front line in the cave one meter in. Moreover, from the situation of the battle, the opponent's battle has not yet been damaged until now, and they have just taken a few rounds of rest.
After dawn, the Duke finally knew how ignorant his decision was yesterday evening, so he immediately ordered the army to stop sending death, but just surrounded the entrance of the cave and waited for the arrival of the quarry. The player leaders had no choice but to order their subordinates to stay in place first. This boring thing was undoubtedly a torment for those players.
On this day, more combatants entered the Shasche Mountains and built a series of solid defense lines around the peaks where Yang Tian and others hid, leaving no gaps, whether on the ground or in the air. The number of people in the entire area is definitely more than two million. If Yang Tian knew that there were so many people to support him, he might be very honored!
Another evening was approaching, the Duke and others finally waited for the group of quarries escorted by the army.
The number of quarry workers in this group is no less than 5,000. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they picked up tools and started digging the mountain walls around the cave entrance under the command of Kodo. They now have only one goal, that is, to expand the cave entrance to the cave, so that they can accommodate enough troops to pour into the cave. Although they were not sure whether this method must work, it was also the only way they could think of.
The five thousand people were divided into three shifts and went to dig in turn. When they were tired, they would rest on the side and the next shift of workers went up. This method naturally greatly improved the work efficiency. Even at night, these people did not stop and were still digging.
The powerful personnel under the Duke were all squatting at the entrance of the cave to prevent Yang Tian and others from rushing out to kill these quarrymen in an instant. You should know that with the strength of Yang Tian and others, killing these quarrymen with some brute force is no different from cutting melons and vegetables.
But what made them curious was that no matter how busy it was outside, there was no movement in the cave. If the system had notified them that there was sunshine and their fellow party members at any time, they would have thought that the other party had escaped.
