Chapter 828 Battle Alert

With Lao Xie's strong support, the digging of the dwarves went very smoothly. They dug at about 100 places at the same time, with more than a dozen dwarf miners in each place, and dozens of other tribe warriors who helped.

Such large-scale burrow digging naturally caused a series of chaos in the Fearless Castle. Because of the burrow digging, traffic on several streets was cut off, and many shops were also pushed down and became construction sites. The lives of tens of thousands of people were affected.

Fortunately, Constantine, the real city lord, rushed back in time to wipe Lao Xie's butt. While comforting those people, she helped them move away, and also gave some practical benefits, which calmed down the public grievances.

Lao Xie naturally didn't care about these civil affairs, so he gave them all the right to Constantine to deal with it. As for himself, he devoted himself to the excavation work.

Seeing that Lao Xie was so concerned, Carpier knew that the incident was extraordinary and did not dare to be negligent. He urged his subordinates to dig hard for days. Seeing that they were so concerned, Lao Xie was almost bleeding from his hands and feet, he was really grateful. He was naturally a big fish and meat every day. Of course, fine wine is indispensable, and it was simply endless supply. As long as it didn't delay things, drink it casually.

With such a generous reward, the dwarf miners who were already a little emotional immediately changed their attitude and began to work wholeheartedly for Lao Xie.

In this case, the excavation progress is surprisingly fast, and you can dig more than ten meters down every day. You must know that this depth is all dug based on your ability. Each pit has a diameter of two or three meters, extending straight downwards, and strengthening the four walls during this period, which is very hard. If it weren't for the dwarf miners, others wouldn't be able to dig it out.

As time went by, the pits were dug deeper and deeper, and a large amount of soil was dug out, piled up everywhere, and finally formed small hills, many of which were piled directly on the road, greatly hindering traffic operations. In addition, the dwarf miners worked day and night, making loud noises at night, making people around them unable to sleep well, which made people in the city complain.

Lao Xie naturally didn't care about this. He only had the speed, but Constantine couldn't ignore it. She had to come forward again to comfort her and asked someone to transport the accumulated earth and stones outside the city. If it were someone else, I would have been impatient to talk to Lao Xie, but Constantine was worthy of Lao Xie's most trusted virtuous support. She knew why Lao Xie was so anxious, so she didn't drag her back at all. She just silently helped Lao Xie clear her hands and feet and never complained.

Although Lao Xie had no time to make more scruples during his busy period, he also saw Constantine's support and kept it in his heart, intending to repay her well in the future.

As time goes by, the pits get deeper and deeper, and the dwarf's speed gradually decreases, especially after exceeding 200 meters, he can only dig a few meters deep every day, and the speed is less than half as before. Lao Xiejian's speed slows down and is a little irritable, but he also knows that there is nothing he can do about it. Because when digging a hole, he has to pull the digging soil up from below in a basket, and when the hole is shallow, it can be pulled out by a few strokes. However, after more than 200 meters, it takes a long time to pull the soil once, which naturally delays the efficiency of digging.

Fortunately, Lao Xie is a reasonable person. He knew that the slowdown was not because the dwarf was lazy, so he did not get angry with Carpier and others. He just urged them to try to speed up as much as possible.

Carpier was originally worried that Lao Xie would blame him for slowing down, but unexpectedly, what he waited for was Lao Xie's understanding and support. This moved them very much and vowed to help Lao Xie dig out the remains.

Just as Lao Xie was digging the remains, the encirclement and suppression of the Saint Dragon Cassia and Tustaman was also underway in a tense and orderly manner. As waves of demons were captured, a large number of demon prisoners were sold to other planes, which brought Lao Xie a large amount of supplies, and somehow filled his deficit during the war.

However, the demons are demons after all. Even if they are broken up, the best of them are unwilling to admit defeat easily. They always try their best to hide them. If they really can't hide them, they will launch a devastating attack. They would rather die in the end than sell them as slaves.

Although there are not many such passionate and strong demons, once they are multiplied by the huge base of the demons, an extremely huge number will appear.

In the time of the doomsday, these crazy guys acted like madmen, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. In just one month, more than a dozen towns were destroyed by their fierce battles with the coalition forces. Although those guys eventually died at the hands of Tustaman and Cassia, they still could not recover the huge losses.

Even Lao Xie, who is devoted to the excavation of relics, can hear such negative news from time to time. If it were normal, Lao Xie would definitely go on the battle and teach these bastards a lesson. But now, the matter of the relics is more than anything else, so no matter how annoyed Lao Xie can only hand over the matter to Tustaman and Cassia, but he can only stay here to take care of the excavation. This made Lao Xie, who had already itchy, feel a little depressed. However, when Lao Xie was depressed, something happened to come to the door.

On the morning of that day, Lao Xie was patrolling various pits, one was to see if anyone was lazy, and the other was also looking forward to finding the remains as time goes by.

But when Lao Xie had just finished walking around and was about to return to his house, a sudden alarm bell rang. First, a bell from the city lord's mansion rang, and then dozens of big bells around him rang together. The rapid bells quickly spread throughout the entire Fearless Fort. The tranquility of the place was broken, and countless people came out of the house to ask what was going on. However, the armed forces in the city quickly gathered together, and teams of fully armed soldiers appeared in the city, some were responsible for public security, some were responsible for defense on the city walls, and some were driven around several important buildings to protect these strongholds.

When Lao Xie heard the alarm bell ringing, he was stunned at the time. You should know that in the past ten years since the establishment of the Fearless Fort, except for being harassed at the beginning, it has not been hit by anyone for nearly ten years. Even the powerful thieves around him are at most engaged in snatching business and traveling, and have never threatened Fearless Fort.

One is because the city defense here is very strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the other is because the defense power here is too strong. Under the cooperation and training of Lao Xie and Lanfake, there are demon-exploding spiders outside the Fearless Fort, including thunderbirds and two-legged flying dragons, which can support a 100,000 army. In addition to the masters of all races in the city, the city defense of the Fearless Fort can definitely be called the number one in the mainland. In this case, only idiots will attack it. Especially now, with the arrival of Lao Xie, the legendary master, the defense power here has reached a higher level. How can ordinary thieves shake it?

But even such a powerful city defense still made Constantine, who had always been steady, feel inadequate, and had to issue an alarm to officially prepare for the war. This really made Lao Xie a little confused. Who is so capable? He can scare my baby like this?

With such a question, Lao Xie immediately hurriedly rushed to the city lord's mansion. When Lao Xie came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, he saw Constantine with an anxious look waiting for him. He immediately flew over and said with a smile: "Dear, what happened? It's worth your fuss?"

"It's not a big fuss, it's really a big deal!" Constantine hurriedly explained: "The Burning Legion is here!"

"Huh?" Lao Xie was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said with a funny look: "Aren't you kidding? Those guys have been defeated long ago, and now they are just a group of wandering robbers. It's not enough to worry. They can't even hide from me, so how dare they attack here blatantly? Isn't that asking for death?"

"I don't know why, but the message I received was that a powerful Burning Legion was rushing towards the plane and would arrive in about two hours!" Constany hurriedly explained.

"Oh, is that?" Lao Xie immediately said strangely: "Where did you get the news?"

"It was the news sent back by one of our close guards!" Constantine said hurriedly.

"Guard?" Lao Xie became even more confused when he heard this, and said with a strange look on his face: "Aren't your guard the elite who protects the city lord's mansion? They have always stayed in the city? How could he run outside?"

"That's right!" Constantine explained: "Yesterday we received a magical distress signal from a caravan. I thought they were attacked by horse thieves, so I urgently mobilized a guard squadron with the highest power and combat effectiveness to rescue them. I thought this was just a small matter, so I didn't tell you!"

As he said that, Constantine looked at Lao Xie nervously. You know, it is a taboo to mobilize the army privately in other places. Although the number is not large and the situation is urgent, at least the city lord Lao Xie should be informed afterwards. However, Constantine knew that Lao Xie didn't care about these trivial matters, and he was busy looking for relics, so he didn't bother him with this matter. In Constantine's opinion, this matter would end soon. As long as the guards drove away the horse thief back, everything would be fine. There was no need to disturb the busy Lao Xie for this.

"Ye!" Lao Xie also knew that Constany didn't say it because he was worried that he would be upset, so he didn't blame her. He just smiled slightly and said, "It's right not to tell me. I don't bother to pay attention to such small things."

When Constany heard this, she felt relieved. Then she smiled bitterly: "I originally thought it was just a small matter, but I didn't expect it to become a big matter!"

"Uh? What's the big deal?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously.

"I just received a magic message sent back by the team. It turned out that the one who attacked the caravan was not an ordinary horse thief, but a group of powerful demons. Compared with their combat effectiveness, the caravan was simply vulnerable, so it was completely wiped out shortly after sending a distress signal. The guards I sent also encountered the army of demons. They were not opponents and could not escape the fate of the destruction of the entire army! Fortunately, their captain was very knowledgeable and sent back this important information before he died. Otherwise, we might be caught off guard by those guys!" Constantine explained.

"So that's how it is!" Lao Xie realized that he didn't give it to him and asked again: "How strong is the other party? Why did you immediately send an alarm when you hear the message?"

"The captain said that the number of the other party was not very large, less than 10,000. However, the strength was super strong. Except for the hundreds of abyss demons, the others were all Burning Knights, with a number of no less than 8,000!" Constantine smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know where these guys came from!"

"There were more than 100,000 abyss demons that were broken up last time, and there were countless Burning Knights. It is not surprising that such a defeated general broke into this place!" Lao Xie nodded, and then smiled and said, "Oh, I was upset by the hole digging recently. I wanted to find something to do, but I didn't expect these guys to come to the door on their own initiative. Then I can't be polite!" As he spoke, Lao Xie rubbed his hands hard, and looked like he was eager to fight.

Seeing this, Constantine couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Stephen, your current identity may not be allowed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person!"

"Tsk, get rid of its bullshit identity!" Lao Xie said disdainfully: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to this. I just need to have fun!"

"Oh, my goodness!" After hearing this, Constantine felt powerless. She covered her forehead with her hands and smiled bitterly: "Stephen, you are now the savior of the entire continent, and the king of the continent without a formal title. Therefore, you must know how to measure your every move, otherwise you will be laughed at!"

"Haha!" Lao Xie immediately laughed and said, "Constantine, you don't understand this. A real man acts just to have a clear conscience and doesn't care about anything else. Just like now, do you think I will care about the ridicule of those boring people? To put it badly, they don't deserve to let me care!"

"Uh~" Constantine was stunned at first, then understood. So he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, indeed, your future is limitless in the future, and there is really nothing you care about in those gossips! However, I still think you should not take action yourself. After all, the other party's strength is not low. There may be a demon lord hidden among those abyss demons. If you go on your own, you may encounter danger. Besides, there are so many masters here, so there is no need to let you take risks at all?"

"But I just like it!" Lao Xie then smiled, "Okay, okay, don't persuade me, aren't it just a group of smashes? Even if there is a demon lord, I won't take it seriously!"

"But~" Constantine frowned and said in an outline, but was interrupted by the impatient Lao Xie waved his hand and said, "Okay, OK, this matter is settled. Those guys are here later. Just watch the fun on the top of the city. Leave the rest to me!"

"Okay!" Constany knew that Lao Xie had the right thing to say. Since he had said it, there was obviously no room for change. So she stopped stopping it, but just said with concern: "Then be careful!"

"Don't worry, I'm not even afraid of evil gods, and I still care about these scumbags?" After Lao Xie said that, he took Constany directly and headed straight for the city wall.

About two hours later, Lao Xie, who was bored at the east gate of the Fearless Castle, suddenly saw a black cloud appearing in the distance, and hundreds of abyss demons were hiding in it. Below them were the moving dust and yellow sand, and there were clearly a large number of knights running wildly.

Looking at the increasingly clearer and terrifying faces of the demons in the distance, many guys in the Fearless Castle who had not been tested for war began to have a commotion. Many people were whispering about what if Stephen failed? Should they do it directly? Or should they surrender directly, or should they look righteous and righteous, and then surrender after a small battle.

Faced with such a group of greedy and fearful death, Lao Xie was too lazy to waste his energy to scold and ignored it directly. He just focused his attention on the battle that was about to begin.

The group of demons were obviously not fuel-efficient lamps. They did not rush over blindly, but stopped a few hundred meters away from the Fearless Fort. Then they looked at the castle carefully, and then they were somewhat surprised.

The reason is very simple, because the city defense of the Fearless Castle is so good. Not only is the city tall and sturdy, but it is also equipped with the most numerous and best-quality heavy crossbow chariots in the continent. Their main components are the pulley bows invented by Lao Xie, which were invented after a period of research and modification. This kind of thing is most suitable for use when defending the city and can cause terrifying casualties to the offensive troops.

In addition, the people standing on the top of the city also put great pressure on them. Whether it is the elves, beasts, or dwarves, they have sent many masters, and many of them are not as powerful as ordinary abyss demons. With them participating in the defense, the Fearless Fort can definitely be called an iron wall.

Faced with such a terrible city defense, the demons had no choice but to do it. They knew that the price of fighting hard would be very bad, so they came up with another way to attack the city, which was to provoke the general!
