Chapter 985 Shock!
The sudden reveal of the war machine made Balgruuf's face become extremely gloomy.
Just now, just one armed robot had caused him heartbreaking losses, and it also allowed him to fully understand the power of this kind of combat puppet.
But at this moment, five armed robots of the same shape appeared in front of him. The same appearance showed that they all belonged to the same model, and their lethality was no different from each other!
Balgruuf can imagine what a tragic and bloody scene there will be if he chooses to charge against such a terrifying war monster!
At that time, the soldiers of Xueman City will be like wheat blown by the wind, falling to the ground in pieces, and their bodies will be torn into pieces.
With just a few breaths, the grassland in front of him can be covered with corpses, and the blood will gather into a stream!
Not to mention that in addition to the armed robots on the ground, there are ten eye-catching aircraft in the sky, which can spray deadly torrents of metal at any time.
The warning formation put out by Holy Dragon City really scared Balgruuf!
He is not a mindless lord, and he will not choose to defeat his opponent because of a moment of enthusiasm and start a war that is destined to pay a heavy price!
In this way, even if he won a tragic victory, he would not be able to face the pursuit of the demons from outside the world, and he would still be completely defeated in the end.
In the flash of lightning, many thoughts flashed through Balgruuf's mind, his expression kept changing, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
“Pass my order, the whole army should stop attacking, retreat one kilometer and set up camp!”
When Balgruuf gritted his teeth and issued this order, the soldiers who were already praying in their hearts kept praying. , finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Some people even looked surprised at escaping death. They glanced at the silent battle robots with great fear, quickly put away their swords and began to retreat.
Compared to the slow and delayed arrival, the Snowman City soldiers moved very quickly at this time, as if they couldn't wait to leave this area that made them tremble.
Balgruuf watched this scene quietly, with light shining in his eyes.
“It seems that as long as they don’t enter this area, the demons outside the sky will not make any moves. This is a very interesting thing.
Then what is the reason? Would the demons from outside the world do this?"
Various speculations flashed through Balgruuf's mind, but he could not draw a conclusion yet because he did not have proper information for reference.
"Perhaps I can offer more bounties to stimulate those profit-oriented adventurers and let them sneak into Hewang Village to find out what secrets this demon tribe hides?"
Although some time ago , Xueman City issued a mission to explore information about the demons outside the world, which indeed attracted many adventurers to accept the mission. However, in Balgruuf's opinion at this time, the bounty amount may still not be enough.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. He needs a real master to figure out the real secret of the demons outside the world, so that he can decide what to do next.
Should we engage in a decisive battle, or should we maintain the current situation of non-aggression, or...
A thought flashed through Balgruuf's mind, and he was shocked, but Soon he looked thoughtful again, considering the possibility of the idea just now.
Expressions of struggle, hesitation, surprise, and doubt were constantly alternating on his face, and the expressions were uncertain...
No one dared to disturb Balgruuf at this time. The soldiers were just standing in the open space. Establish a camp in the mountains and valleys.
There is a small river not far away. The water is clear and sweet, perfect for drinking and cooking.
When the smoke rises, the temporary camp is also being set up.
There is no shortage of everything that should be in the camp. Thick wooden piles were driven into the soil to form a barrier, which was used to delineate the boundaries of the military camp and prevent the enemy from approaching.
Huge trees were cut down and simple watchtowers were built to observe the movements of the dense forest in the distance.
In addition, there are a large number of scouts in the surrounding woods to guard against possible enemy attacks.
Even though they already knew that if they did not cross that boundary, they would not be attacked by Holy Dragon City, they still carefully adopted a defensive posture. Facing such a powerful enemy, no matter how cautious you are!
A little while later, a military camp appeared on the only road connecting Hewang Village to the outside world. Anyone who wanted to pass by this road could not avoid the soldiers of Xueman City. Eye.
Of course, if you don't want to pass by this road, but choose to go through the dense forest in the mountains to approach Hewang Village, it is not impossible, but whether you can achieve your goal is hard to say.
First of all, apart from this road, approaching Hewang Village from other places has to face very dangerous terrain. Except for individuals and small teams, large troops are absolutely unable to move.
Secondly, since the Tianwai Demon Clan has publicly declared that the land near Hewang Village is classified as a forbidden area, they will definitely not ignore these areas, and will even tighten their defenses!
If you dive in carelessly, you may not even know how you died!
Knowing this, Balgruuf did not rush to send people to explore the road. Instead, he and his men gathered in front of the map and kept discussing something.
Obviously, Balgruuf at this time still did not choose to give up on killing the demons from outside the world, but compared to the beginning, he has undoubtedly become much more cautious.
Because for him, every decision made at this time may have a huge impact on the future of Xuemanling.
The soldiers in Xueman City did not know the complicated thoughts in their lord's mind, and were simply happy that they did not have to fight with the demons from outside the world.
This mysterious and powerful enemy, the terrifyingly powerful weapons and combat puppets all made them feel fear and powerlessness in their hearts.
Even in some corners, soldiers are already discussing privately whether they should flee here, lest they lose their lives in vain after Balgruuf orders a war!
There are actually quite a few soldiers who have this idea, especially those who followed their respective monks and gathered from various villages and towns. They are constantly praying to leave here as soon as possible.
Every minute they stay here makes them feel tortured.
This is the most normal reaction of indigenous people when faced with powerful and unknown forces. After all, life is precious and no one wants to throw it away easily!
A depressing atmosphere permeated the entire Xueman City military camp.
At this moment, the soldier on duty suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves, approaching here.
It didn't take long before hundreds of fully armed knights appeared, bringing with them bursts of dust and arriving in front of the military camp.
Seeing the road blocked by Snowman City soldiers, the knights stopped advancing and shouted to the soldiers: "Get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
Even if They saw the Xueman City military camp not far away. The attitude of these knights was still tyrannical, and they obviously did not take Xueman City seriously.
Even though the flag representing Balgruuf's identity was so obviously erected in the military camp, they still turned a blind eye!
Hearing this, the monk in charge of the alert glanced at the knights who were wearing elf armor and had a condescending expression on their faces. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and ordered the soldiers to evacuate the roadblock.
Seeing this, those capable knights immediately drove their horses and began to run wildly in the direction of Hewang Village.
After hearing the news, Balgruuf walked out of the camp and watched the knights approaching the limits of Holy Dragon City, snorting lightly.
“These damn Thalmor people, how can you get mad after a while?”
Thanks: “Li Feimo” for the reward, and thank you book friends for your support!
