Chapter 314 Night attack, destroying two cities in a row

Hekou Town.

This was once the most prosperous trade transit station in the kingdom.

The most elite Royal Knights and Archers are stationed there.

At that time, Hekou Town was as powerful as Bronzebeard City and Black Dragon King.

The three parties stood on the banks of the Alan River.

It's a pity when divine monsters attack the kingdom.

The king summoned all extraordinary nobles and legions in the territory to attack the invading divine monsters.

In less than a day.

All the transcendent nobles, including the king, were devoured.

The legion of servants was wiped out.

Then the divine monsters captured the city.

The capital and duchy were destroyed one after another.

All the extraordinary beings in the kingdom were devoured.

Civilian casualties exceeded 80%.

The huge kingdom collapsed directly.

After the war, only a few scattered towns were left standing on the periphery of this originally prosperous country.

And Hekou Town is one of them.

Hekou Town has lost all its legions and extraordinary nobles.

Became the weakest force on the banks of the Alan River.

The guards recruited in the town didn't even dare to leave the gate.

They could only rely on the town walls to defend themselves.

At the same time, pay taxes to the dwarves and black dragons to maintain a neutral position and not be attacked.

Originally, Hekou Town thought that this status could be maintained.

But as the all-out war between the Black Dragon King and the dwarves began.

The new nobles in Hekou Town began to worry.

They gathered together to discuss the next step.

"There are also dragon-hunting crossbows in the town. I think that defending the town can resist the Black Dragon King's army."

"Allying the dwarves is a good choice, but we sent a request for alliance before."

"But there was no response from the dwarves. I am afraid that the people who condoned the Black Dragon King's behavior in insulting the Dwarf King angered them."

"Then what should we do? Take refuge with the Black Dragon King!"

"No!"

"I think what the dwarves want is not allies, but us joining the dwarf city."

"There is no extraordinary nobleman in Hekou Town now."

"We have long lost the power to protect ourselves. It is better to seek refuge with the dwarves in exchange for shelter."

"Anyway, we were all businessmen before, and gold coins are more important than the honor of the nobility."

soon.

The new nobles in the town hall made their decision.

Take refuge in the Bronzebeard City of the dwarves.

But that's it.

There was a noise outside the hall.

They were about to ask what happened.

Sudden.

The wooden door of the town hall was knocked open.

Dozens of warriors wearing heavy armor poured in.

And the leader was surprisingly the forest giant Holm they had just recruited.

At this time, Holm was wearing heavy steel armor forged by dwarves.

Holding a big stick full of spikes.

He looked at the human nobles inside with a ferocious smile.

"Everyone."

"No need to discuss."

"From now on, Hekou Town belongs to us!"

"Give you two ways."

"Hand over the treasure and get out."

"Be beaten to death by my stick!"

"Besides this, there is no third way."

This sudden situation made all the nobles present stunned.

But they soon reacted.

Someone immediately stood up.

"Holm, you broke the contract and are not afraid of being hunted down by the mercenary union!"

There were also mercenary unions during the Dark Ages.

Once a mercenary here betrays his employer, he will be blacklisted and become a black mercenary from then on.

The mercenary union will invite specialized hunters to hunt down these black mercenaries.

This contract is very binding on those mercenaries who fight alone.

But for mercenaries like Holm who joined the nobility, there was almost no binding force.

At this time, Holm showed his fangs.

He raised the stick in his hand and smashed it down without saying a word.

The nobles who stood up were beaten to death with a stick.

Then he turned to the rest of the nobles.

"Any more questions?"

Face this naked threat.

The nobles of Hekou Town present were trembling.

These people are not the nobles in the kingdom who can die for honor and oaths.

But a group of greedy and cunning businessmen.

At this time, they quickly made the right choice.

"Holm, we surrender, I agree to all your conditions."

In response, Holm turned to the Mori giant behind him and said.

"Go!"

"Open the city gate and welcome His Excellency Christian into the city."

When all the legions brought by Christian entered Hekou Town.

The town remains quiet and peaceful.

There was absolutely no trace of occupation.

In the town hall at this moment.

"Your Excellency."

"I have found the fourth map fragment in Bayou Town."

He said and handed over the fragments in his hand.

Then he said again.

"The residents of Hekou Town are unified in the North District."

"These are mortals without extraordinary blood."

"How about we clean it up!"

Christian is a believer in the Holy Light.

This kind of massacre of unarmed prisoners is not allowed by the doctrine.

Of course, most Holy Light Knights and Paladins will not abide by the doctrine.

Because this is the characteristic of the Holy Light Sect.

I believe in the Holy Light, but that doesn't mean I will abide by the doctrine.

This kind of behavior that other sects see as pan-believers is commonplace in the Holy Light Church.

Even the Lord God of Holy Light doesn't bother to care. Basically, he follows the attitude if he likes to obey, and if he doesn't, he will be thrown away.

But Christian is different from those pan-believer Holy Light Knights.

He strictly abides by the teachings of the Holy Light.

On the battlefield, if they were enemies, he would kill them all without hesitation, whether they were civilians or soldiers.

But after the war.

Christian will not kill prisoners.

This is her bottom line.

So when Holm asked.

Christian said calmly.

"Detention!"

"No action allowed."

Naturally, Holm did not dare to disobey, and then began to tell the information obtained by Bayou Town.

"Your Excellency."

"The news we have received so far."

"The Black Dragon King and the dwarves have assembled heavy troops to confront each other on both sides of the Aylan River."

"The dwarves have completed their general mobilization."

"It is expected that we will probably cross the river and attack early tomorrow morning."

"The same is true for the Black Dragon King. The main force gathered is stationed on the river bank."

"At the same time, gnolls and kobolds are constantly being sent to cross the river from the ferry outside Hekou Town."

"Flanking the dwarven army."

"But the attacks have stopped during the day."

"All the followers of the Black Dragon King have returned to the south bank, probably preparing for a decisive battle with the dwarves."

Hear information from Home.

Christian said after thinking for a moment.

"Something is not right."

"Judging from the information we received before."

"The strength of the dwarves is obviously weaker than that of the Black Dragon King."

"Even if there is a full-scale war, they should be on the defensive side."

"Now a large number of troops are gathered on the river bank, and they look like they are fighting to the death."

"This is so abnormal."

Christian said after thinking for a moment.

"The dwarves are trying to trick you!"

"They must be holding back the Black Dragon King's legion from the front."

"Then I want to sneak attack the Black Dragon King from the side!"

After hearing this, the forest giant Holm scratched his head.

Such a complex tactical issue was obviously beyond his understanding.

Qingfeng on the side said.

"I didn't detect the dwarven flanks!"

Christian said quickly.

"The person who attacked the Black Dragon King was not the legion, but the extraordinary person who carried out the beheading plan."

"In the war of extraordinary beings, sneak attack on the enemy commander is always the most practical and effective tactic."

"They must have sent an elite team to prepare for a sneak attack on the Black Dragon King."

At this time, Holm finally knew what was going on.

"Then Your Excellency, what should we do."

"The Black Dragon King is killed, and his family will definitely collapse."

In this regard, Christian made a decision quickly.

"Act early!"

"Holm, you immediately led the army to cross the river, go to the north bank, march to the Black Dragon King's lair, and directly take over the lair."

"Qingfeng, you are fast, set off immediately to the Black Dragon King's lair."

"No matter what, we must save the life of the Black Dragon King."

"As long as I capture the Black Dragon King, his followers can be used by me."

"And I will personally lead an army, disguised as Hekou Town reinforcements, to capture the Dwarf Bronzebeard City."

"Then at daybreak, surround the dwarves stationed on the south bank."

"Time is running out, everyone needs to act quickly."

"Because once the Black Dragon King is assassinated and his followers are scattered, it will take more time for us to obtain the map fragments."

"Yes!"

at the same time.

Dwarf City, the ferry outside Bronzebeard City.

Here it is.

All the dwarf legions have been assembled.

Under night.

Large warships were thrown into the water.

The dwarf king Bronzebeard is constantly directing the dwarves to board the ship.

And on the other side.

The Black Dragon King's family members are also actively preparing equipment and ships to defend the city.

Just wait for it to get light.

The first battle between the two sides will take place on the River Elland.

At this time, the dwarf king Bronzebeard looked anxious.

His eyes kept looking towards the looming black dragon's lair on the other side.

"Cardoso should be outside the Black Dragon King's lair now."

"Now!"

"Just waiting for news from him."

Just when the dwarf king was worried.

Outside the Black Dragon King's lair.

Cardoso's flexible body jumped on the cliff.

behind him.

Undead and Bol followed closely behind.

The destination they climbed was the Black Dragon King's lair.

Because on the main road leading to the lair, there are patrolling dragonborn family members everywhere.

Cardoso as a ranger.

Finally, the cliff was chosen as the direction of attack.

It didn't take long.

He had already appeared outside the Black Dragon King's lair.

And at this time.

From time to time, family members who can transform into dragons pass by the cliff at the mouth of the lair.

But these low-level creatures can't see through Cardoso, who has drow blood.

Wait until these patrolling families leave.

Cardoso waved.

The undead and Bol quickly came to Cardoso's side along the lowered rope ladder.

Cardoso pointed to the lair.

Inside the lair at this time.

The Black Dragon King was still sleeping soundly.

There was no sign of a war coming.

Cardoso then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

It means doing it together.

The other two understood it.

Then the Undead Archmage quickly drew a teleportation circle.

The three assassins teleported directly into the Black Dragon King's lair from the outside.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately woke up the Black Dragon King.

"Ant."

"I knew you would come to assassinate me!"

"Roar~"

The Black Dragon King roared.

The family members at the entrance of the cave rushed towards the cave.

"Time is running out, kill!"

Cardoso rushed forward waving the moon shadow in his hand.

Just a simple knife cut off the Black Dragon King's claws.

Afterwards, Bol also started to use mana.

Before becoming an adventurer, he wielded a sword as a knight with extraordinary blood.

Cut it down with one sword.

He cut the dragon breath sprayed by the Black Dragon King into two pieces.

Then a jump.

The big sword hit the Black Dragon King's nose.

The breath of the dragon suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the Undead Archmage cast a spell directly.

"The finger of death."

The violent dark power hit the Black Dragon King, although it did not kill him instantly.

But the black dragon was left stunned on the spot.

The finger of death has a powerful paralysis effect.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

The moon shadow in Cardoso's hand emitted a burst of silver light.

Light swept across.

He slashed towards the head of the Black Dragon King.

At this time, the Black Dragon King couldn't think of anything.

Death can come so quickly.

But at this critical moment.

A voice suddenly sounded in the dragon's nest.

"It's okay."

“Arrived just in time.”

The appearance of this voice directly interrupted Cardoso's offensive.

He withdrew the knife forcefully.

Then he jumped quickly and left the position he was just standing on.

Wait for him to turn his head.

Suddenly, I noticed that a dark figure appeared where I was just standing.

"Kagemusha!"

Cardoso seemed to recognize where the other person was coming from.

His eyes were full of fear.

At this time, Qingfeng's laughter came.

"I didn't expect it."

"I actually saw the drow clan's artifact Yueying here!"

"It seems that you should be the legendary double-sword demigod."

"But you are not as powerful as a demigod now."

"At most!"

"It's just the first level of legend!"

The words have not yet finished.

The sword slashed down with a flash of light.

The moon shadow in Cardoso's hand moved horizontally.

Blocked Qingfeng's blow.

But Cardoso also took about ten steps back.

"Can't win!"

At this moment, he immediately judged the form.

Then he shouted without hesitation.

"Withdraw!"

Knight Bol saw this and roared.

A flying war horse appeared out of thin air.

He jumped up and flew away.

The last necromancer saw this.

Both men ran away.

The only emotion left is myself.

He turned around and wanted to leave.

But the next second he saw his own shadow standing up.

Then he raised the knife and dropped it.

The Archmage of the Undead didn't have time to say a word.

The skull fell down.

The soul fire in his eyes dissipated.

But Qingfeng's body was outside the dragon's nest at this time.

There, he watched Cardoso's figure disappear into the night sky.

"What a swift speed."

"It's a pity that we can't capture them for your lord."

"But fortunately, the mission was completed and the Black Dragon King is not dead."

Qingfeng turned her head and looked at the dragon's nest.

There.

The Black Dragon King who was still arrogant before.

At this time, he cowered and hid in the dragon's nest.

Just like a weak and helpless doormat.

"What rubbish!"

"He calls himself the Black Dragon King even if there is no legend."

Qingfeng let out a scornful sound.

Then a message was sent to the forest giant who had appeared in the Black Dragon King's lair.

soon!

Holm took the giant forest to the lair.

Successfully controlled the Black Dragon King and his retinue.

After some persuasion with fists and kicks.

The Black Dragon King wisely chose to surrender.

The fifth map fragment was also obtained by his dependents.

And now!

The sky is getting brighter.

On the River Elland.

The dwarf king waited all night for no news of victory.

Finally he decided to go all out.

He personally led the dwarf tribe across the river and launched an all-out attack.

But just when the dwarf king's order was given.

A piece of bad news also came immediately.

"Bronzebeard City!"

"Occupied!!!" (End of Chapter)
