Chapter 423 Burning Lava City (15)
The floating wooden ladder that has been transporting dwarf refugees has begun to transport assistance troops to the deep underground world, but each floating wooden board can carry a limited number of people. Even if there are three floating boards at most, it will only transport more than 100 people at a time. At the same time, it takes at least ten minutes to transport one transportation, which is only the time required for downward movement. If it goes upward, it takes more time, and at least half an hour to pull up the wooden board full of dwarf refugees.
At the same time, although the Layton horses are very strong, they will be very tired after continuous work, so they need to rest for a few minutes each time they raise a batch. Even in order to cope with this situation, Chen Kai took the lead in pulling nearly fifty Layton horses for replacement, but after more than ten consecutive times, all Layton horses began to sneeze and their footsteps began to become less stable. After all, not to mention how heavy the armor of the knights of the Empire Knights transported, the black armored knights alone had nearly 200 kilograms of armored. Twenty black armored knights directly exceeded the load of the wooden board and went online. When the four tons were placed, the Layton horses almost couldn't bear it.
Of course, when the Black Armored Knights began to transport the Black Armored Knights, the Imperial Knight Chief Fravaz Livich had already taken the assembled 300 trainee knights to run towards the city. Even if he reached the underground world, Chen Kai and the others would have to hike for several hours to reach the Dwarf's Semi-City. Of course, because of the existence of dwarf refugees, the trainee knights led by Fravaz could avoid many detours, so the speed would be much faster than Chen Kai and his friends to travel to the city through the Gem Abyss Road for the first time.
It took less than two hours before the Imperial Knights Order internship led by Fravaz arrived at Ernest City. However, it was not welcome to their ears, but a roaring cannon sound, and the constant sound of the sound of the falling city wall. In fact, in order to block Edmons' evil dragon, the dwarves of Ernest City made a very amazing move, and they directly blasted the rock layer above the city wall. The collapsed rock layer pressed the entire western wall and a large area of the city area below, but also blocked the undead army and the evil dragon Edmons's.
But the same Engels, the city guard general, and tens of thousands of players, were directly pressed down by the collapsed rock layer. As for whether anyone would survive, no one knew, at least looking at the continuous collapse of rocks, no one dared to say that Engels and the others could survive. Because the situation was already very critical at that time, in order to stop Edmons who were rampant on the city wall, several holy-level dwarves guarding the city wall, including Engels, took action almost at the same time, and used their lives to delay time, and finally let the collapsed rocks press Edmons down. Therefore, most of the players who were resurrected after the battle believed that Engels, the city guard general, must have died. Although Engels did not join the battle at that time, but continued to command other dwarves to hold their positions, the instant collapsed rock almost buried the entire West Wall. In this case, players did not think that Engels, a bald man, could survive.
In fact, this is true. You should know that dwarves have the habit of building authentic tunnels. The mechanisms arranged on the city walls can allow some dwarves to escape in an emergency. However, there were less than a thousand dwarves who escaped from the underground secret passage to Rencheng alive. There was no bald puddle among them. When the players saw this bald dwarves with a shining head again, it was no longer a friend. At that time, his body was broken and black, and his face was transformed by a large amount of demonic power and turned into a black dwarves that could never be rested. However, because Engels died in battle to defend Rencheng, in the end, when he got up from hell again, thousands of dwarves buried by the collapsed rock formations, all gathered in this area again. He would strike indiscriminately on anyone entering this area, even the dwarves.
However, the only news that the players and the dwarves who escaped back to the city alive and knew was that Engels, the city guard general, died in battle with several dwarf saints. Although he knew that once the rock formation above was detonated, the city wall below might not be spared. However, when he heard the news that Engels died in battle, Thram still shook his body. As Thram's personal bodyguard, Engels had already followed Thram when he was quite young. It can be said that the two had a similar relationship with each other. So when Thram heard the news, he didn't believe it until he confirmed it again and again.
"Great Elder! Is Engels sure to die in battle?" After the dwarf who reported the news left, Thram still didn't believe what he heard. He looked at the old dwarf Mithra standing beside him with a haggard face. But Thram knew very well that what had been confirmed repeatedly was probably the fact.
"Yes! Thuram!" Elder Mithra sighed helplessly. He knew very well that Engels, as the general of the city guarding, could not escape in the battle. If he had not had time to hide in the secret passage, then death in battle would be his final outcome. After all, he was just a dwarf, not a pervert like Edmons. Even if he was crushed by tens of thousands of tons of rocks, he showed no sign of losing his life and was still shaking under the rocks. Obviously, Edmons, who had extremely tenacious vitality, would not be crushed to death because of these rocks. Of course, tens of thousands of tons of rocks fell down at the same time, even if Edmons was strong enough, he would be seriously hit. In a short period of time, the demons and undead in the West City would probably not cause too much danger to Erncheng, but even so, the remaining demon troops were enough to let Erncheng drink a pot.
In fact, if the southwest city wall had not been at a very critical moment, and once Edmons broke through the west city wall, it would directly lead to a complete collapse of the entire city defense system, Engels would not have ordered the rock formations above his head to explode and Edmons died together. The result of his doing so was to save some of the urban areas within the western city wall. Although the rock formations above his head still collapsed again, at least Edmons did not allow Edmons to break into the city and connect with the demons in the southwest to form a line.
If Edmons breaks through the west wall or even rushes to the inner wall of the west, it is estimated that the entire defense line of Seen City will collapse in less than half an hour. Although the dwarves have lost the important West City area now, they have completely blocked the enemies in the west outside the rocks. The collapsed rocks have become the best defense, but the dwarves are not sure how much of such a barrier can play. Because at this moment, Edmons is not dead, but is constantly arching the surrounding rocks with his body, and demons and undeads are helping to transport the rocks from time to time around him.
However, Engels's move was completely beyond the expectations of Ratamitheus and Edmons. They never expected that the dwarves would be so cruel that they directly exploded the rock layer above their heads and tried to block Edmonth. As a result, the dwarves did it. When the rocks that collapsed that day collapsed, Ratamitheus, who was happily touching his chin, almost crushed his chin. As for the abyss demon dragon that was originally rampant on the city wall, there was only one tail left behind that was still exposed outside the collapsed rock.
If his tail was not still moving, the bone demon Ratamitheus thought that the Abyss Demon Dragon had been killed. However, although Edmons did not kill him, it would take a lot of time to press him down to clean him up just by cleaning it. Therefore, after discovering that Edmons was not dead, the bone demon began to command his undead troops to work hard to transport the rocks and rescue Edmons.
However, this process was very difficult, because the collapse of the rock formation caused by the explosion continued. The undead and demons who were working hard to dig the rocks were always ready to bear the danger of being injured by the rocks that were smashed over their heads, or even killed. At the same time, the movement of the West City Wall also made the demons who attacked the city walls in the southwest city area have some concerns. The originally crazy offensive slightly eased, and the army of demons who had killed and injured hundreds of demons with resistance from the Dwarf King Guard retreated again like a tide. Then the little demons flew over their heads and continued to smash the fireballs at the city walls, smashing the defenders holding the big shield to vomit blood.
This is the scene that the apprentices of the Knights of the Imperial Knights saw when they arrived at Ernest City. For these apprentices, some of them saw the demon for the first time. Although many apprentices had come to Ernest City when they escorted players to the underground, they left afterwards, so they did not know much about the situation in Ernest City. Fortunately, at this time, some players from the Blood Crusaders of Berkner Town received news from Chen Kai and came to pick up these Imperial Knights, otherwise these Imperial Knights might get lost in Ernest City.
"Are these reinforcements sent by the human empire on the ground?" Thram looked at the familiar members of the Imperial Knights, because when these apprentice knights escorted the players to Ernest City, he had seen them. However, Thram never expected that the imperial reinforcements he had been looking forward to were actually three hundred apprentice knights. This gap made Thram almost vomit blood without feeling depressed. Although several apprentice knights tried hard to raise their chests high, their strength was too bad in the eyes of Thram who was a sage-level rank, and they were not even as good as the elite dwarf warriors. At least Thram could pull out a tenth-level warrior of about three thousand people in Ernest City, completely crushing the more than 300 apprentice knights.
"Hello! The king of the dwarf! I am Vlavaz Levich, the commander of the Grand Knights of the Third Apprentice Knights of the Imperial Knights!" Looking at the dwarf king in front of him, Vlavaz Levich raised his chest, and he declared his existence to the dwarf king Thram with the pride that belonged to the Imperial Knights.
"Hello! Fravaz Livich's Grand Knight!" Although he was very dissatisfied with this reinforcement, Thram still made a welcome gesture on the surface, as the idea that the mosquito was still fleshy no matter how small the mosquito was, he still made a welcome gesture.
"I wonder if you are the only one of the reinforcements?" Looking at the very powerful Fravaz Seram couldn't help but ask.
"No! We are just the vanguard!" The words of the great knight captain made Thram relieve, but the next moment he was immediately depressed.
"Barkner's troops will come soon!" After hearing this, Thram immediately understood that the so-called subsequent reinforcements were Chen Kai's troops. But Thram was very clear about the strength of the troops in Berkner Town. Maybe it's okay to bully those players on the ground. If you challenge Zoer, it would be fine, but in the underground world, the troops in Berkner Town came to die. Although this sounded a bit hurtful, in fact, even Chen Kai was very helpless about mobilizing his troops to the underground world, because this was simply a death.
"Then are there any other reinforcements?" Seram did not give up, but his question obviously did not ask the right person, because Fravaz didn't know how many subsequent reinforcements were. In fact, although Prime Minister Capello received this bad news, he had no place to mobilize troops in a short period of time, so there would almost no new reinforcements appear underground in a few days. In fact, even if the troops in Berkner Town were mobilized, Prime Minister Capello had put in a lot of efforts because he also knew what Chen Kai was facing. If the black armored cavalry and the Taurus heavy troops were all destroyed in the underground world, Chen Kai, who relied on these two troops to maintain the ground and the Zoer defense line, would not be able to support it. At that time, the unlucky one would not only be Chen Kai's Berkner Town but also other indigenous territories supported by Chen Kai.
Therefore, although Chen Kai almost took the indigenous troops of Berkner Town, it was only on the surface. Chen Kai, a three thousand black armored cavalry, mobilized two thousand, leaving one thousand to Su Wan to lead. Chen Kai did not mobilize all the more than two thousand taurens heavy troops, leaving five hundred taurens to Alyssa to lead the guard of Berkner Town. If only relying on these thousand five hundred troops, at most they would be able to defend the city of Berkner Town. The newly opened Anne Fortress had no choice at all.
For the defense, fortunately, the player troops formed by Chen Kaixin are still slightly competent. So this time, there are not many people going underground with Chen Kai, only five people. One is Chen Kai himself. One is Chen Yi and three are Zhao Tiezhu, who is responsible for protecting Chen Yi, and two earth knights like Zhao Tiezhu who carry a big shield. Once a dangerous situation occurs, the only task of Zhao Tiezhu and the three earth knights is to guard Chen Yi tightly and give her time to run away.
Chen Yi's backpack was full of materials to set up small altars. She was about to set up an altar on the city wall as soon as she arrived underground to bless her halo effect and range. However, when Thram heard the news, she directly sent three huge light gems born in the underground magma to Chen Yi. Although these three gems are not the best magic gems, and are more than one better than the top magic gems worth tens of millions in size, for Chen Yi, this light gem can effectively increase her magic power.
These three light gems make Chen Yi's small altar effect close to the medium-sized altar. After the arrangement is made, nearly thirty square meters of holy land can be produced at the place where the altar is located. The rich sacred power can burn any demon trying to approach. In this area, it is not only ineffective for the charm technique. As long as the spell triggered by the power of the abyss will be reduced by at least 30%, even the power of the fireball fired by the little devil will be greatly reduced. It is precisely because of this that Chen Yi and Chen Kai and others reached the Seni City in Fravaz's footsteps. When Thram sent Fravaz's Empire Knights to the city wall, Chen Kai took Chen Yi and appeared behind Thram's butt.
After seeing Chen Kai, Seram was very happy. His mood was a little gloomy because of Engels' death. Although he knew very well that Chen Kai's troops might not be able to save Rencheng from danger, they could always help the dwarves who were already in trouble with a little help, especially Chen Yi's appearance made Seram even more happy. As a black dwarf who had been in Berkner Town, he knew very well that Chen Yi's ability on the battlefield. Therefore, he took out the extremely precious gem of light without hesitation and handed it to Chen Yi.
"Engels is dead!" Standing on the inner city wall, watching Chen Yi slowly laying the altar, Thram spoke to Chen Kai beside him in an extremely low tone. The Great Knight of Fravaz Levich, who was entering the city wall defense line not far away, was discussing the issue of the garrison position with Glenn Copper Ingot. In the gap where the little demon attack paused, the dwarves constantly mobilized various supplies to enhance the city defense ability. At the same time, they completely blocked the closed metal gate under the inner city wall and other passages that might allow the demons to sneak in.
"What?" Chen Kai was a little shocked when he heard Thram's words. When he thought of the dwarf who shouted loudly and called me Bad Piao not long ago, he was a little unconscious. Although he knew very well that in such a battle, not to mention Engels, even Thram could be killed by accident, it was one thing, but realizing that it was another thing when he actually heard the news. At that time, Engels took the dwarf to climb a cliff thousands of meters high to Berkner for help. Even earlier, he and Thram met Chen Kai and the others in the underground world. As a familiar black dwarf, Chen Kai was not the first to call him Bad Piao, but he was definitely one of the few players with good relationships with Engels.
