Chapter 395: The Underground Checkpoint Is Lost
He kept cursing the damn goblins, the abominable ogres, and the kobolds who deserved to be cut to pieces. The man in the black cloak fell heavily to the ground. There was no light in the dark passage, but for those who had walked through it for more than a hundred years, For gray dwarves who are very familiar with the terrain, it is not difficult to find a favor path.
He took out a fluorite from his arms and opened a mechanism casually. With the sound of "kazaza", a steel door at the entrance of the passage closed with a "bang". At this time, he took a slight breath and felt relieved. .
This underground passage is very tall and spacious. Ogres can also jump and run here. Seven or eight gray dwarves can run forward side by side without much problem. This was dug out by tens of thousands of gray dwarves who spent ten years of hard work.
Patting his chest to calm down his rapidly beating heart, the man in black cloak glanced around, then raised his legs and walked forward. There was a crisp "click" sound, followed by a sharp pain that made him jump up suddenly. . However, he was thrown to the ground by the ensuing tearing force, and his body lay flat on the cold ground. He felt that his hands and face were sticky and accompanied by a stench.
I don’t know who placed a bear trap on the ground and nailed it with a chain into the crack of the stone. The man in black cloak was immediately trapped as soon as he lowered his guard. What’s even more disgusting is that there was a puddle on the ground that should never have been there. What's here: excrement.
"Ugh~" The man in the black cloak almost vomited due to nausea. He used a little force with his hands and tore the steel animal trap in half. However, the wound on his leg was already very deep, and the blood flowing out made his face twitch slightly. .
The style of this bear trap is very familiar, and it is most likely the equipment in the stronghold, but who set the trap here?
The underground passage is the most important transportation thoroughfare of the gray dwarf tribe. It contains checkpoints, mechanisms, traps, and heavy troops, but there should never be such mischievous things at the exit. This disgusting little trick is too childish and does not fit the gray dwarf's character.
After simply bandaging the wound, there were violent knocking sounds in my ears, and the ground shook slightly. This came from above my head!
Damn it, those nasty goblins, ogres, and kobolds have found the entrance to the underground passage and are destroying the door. The man in the black cloak endured the discomfort, tore off a piece of clothing, wiped his hands and face clean, and threw away the dirty piece of cloth. Just as he was about to leave, he looked at the animal trap on the ground, and his brain suddenly twitched to dismantle the trap. Restored.
Men, whether they are big men or small men, have the urge to commit suicide in their bones, and gray dwarves are no exception.
The underground passage is very long, like a maze with forks in it. The widest road is not necessarily the right one. All non-main road intersections eventually lead to traps. The man in the black cloak ran forward quickly, opening traps one after another along the way.
Try to thwart enemies that may catch up behind you.
There are three miles of forked roads and five miles of one checkpoint. Three of them are very narrow places. They are no more than one meter wide and less than two meters high. There are sharp hidden blades at the top. If a monster like an ogre comes to attack, it is very likely to hit the head. Broken blood flow. The levels in the underground passage are naturally different from the levels on the ground. This is an underground hall. There are twenty or thirty gray dwarf warriors lurking in it. They have everything from crossbows, kerosene, mechanisms, and boulders. The most powerful mechanism is the Broken Dragon Stone.
"The magic of hell is vast and boundless, and the glory of the gray dwarves will surely bloom again." The man in black cloak raised the token in his hand and spoke the agreed-upon code, or the ambition of their gray dwarves.
"It's the envoy in black. Why are you in such a mess?" A senior gray dwarf warrior narrowed his eyes. The usually arrogant envoy in black was actually in such a mess. Not only was he disheveled, he also had a faint stench on his body, and the scars on his legs were clear. It can be seen that he has obviously experienced a battle.
"Goblins, ogres, and an advanced kobold leader captured the stone forest stronghold." The man in black cloak gritted his teeth. "The sacred artifacts in the stronghold were destroyed, and I temporarily lost the ability to cast spells."
"The holy weapon was destroyed?" The expression of the gray dwarf senior warrior changed drastically. What was the holy weapon? It is the basis for communication between the peripheral strongholds and the base camp, and it is also the key for the chosen gray dwarves to cast spells. After being cursed, the gray dwarves lost the ability to use extraordinary power. The holy artifact allows them to temporarily have the ability to cast spells, but it has very strict coverage. scope.
In the Continent of the Gods, the use of extraordinary power is very common. Without extraordinary power, many things cannot be done. Gray dwarves have strong physical fitness, but they still need extraordinary abilities to maintain their development and growth. The sacred artifact is related to their century-old plan. There is no room for error.
"The high priest has been guarding the sacred vessel. If the sub-body of the sacred vessel is destroyed, the high priest will definitely get the news as soon as possible. I must bring the enemy's information back as soon as possible." The man in black cloak took a deep breath and walked quickly In the hall, the terrain here is seven or eight meters higher than the two ends of the passage. There is a section of city wall-style building. Each of the shooting holes is equipped with bows and crossbows. The equipment is not ordinary bows and arrows, but armor-piercing arrows.
"I'm on alert now. They discovered me when I came down. The passage is no longer a secret." The man in black cloak was slightly panicked. The exposure of the underground passage was caused by his panic. He didn't know what kind of consequences he would receive. punish.
The stronghold was lost, the sacred artifact was destroyed, all the soldiers under his command were lost, and the underground passages were exposed. It seemed that he had committed a lot of sins. The man in black cloak took the token that the gray dwarf senior warrior had tested, turned around, jumped off the city wall, and quickly walked towards Gray Dwarf. Rush to the dwarf's base camp.
The senior gray dwarf warrior gave an order, and all the gray dwarf warriors braced themselves and went on full alert. There was silence in the dark passage, with only the ever-bright lights on the city wall flickering. The passage outside the checkpoint is twists and turns, and is very narrow. The enemy cannot attack quickly on a large scale. The gleaming crossbow arrows are pointed there, quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.
Time passed by, and the gray dwarf warriors began to lose some energy. It could not last long, and it could not be sustained. A person who concentrated all his energy would easily get tired, especially in this unchanging and boring environment. The man in black cloak had gone away. The senior gray dwarf warriors kept their ears perked up, and there were faint noises in the passage.
"Here we come!" The gray dwarf senior warrior raised his right hand high. Several figures had just appeared from the entrance of the passage. They made a decisive decision and suddenly lowered it: "Shoot!"
"噌~噌~噌~" Armor-piercing arrows whizzed in, and several short figures screamed and were nailed to the stone wall. They were gray dwarf warriors.
"What's going on?" The expression of the gray dwarf senior warrior changed drastically. How could he be one of his own?
wrong! They had no armor on their bodies and no weapons in their hands.
"Be on guard!" As soon as the voice of the gray dwarf senior warrior came out, a vigorous figure sprang out, like a black lightning flashing left and right. In the blink of an eye, it reached the city wall and grabbed it with sharp claws.
"Qiang!" The gray dwarf senior warrior blocked the sudden sneak attack with his big sword in his hand. The powerful force came and forced his big sword to miss. There was a harsh sound on the chest armor, and the gorgeous armor appeared. Several deep scratches, although not broken, still caused him to receive a strong impact, and his whole body flew backwards and fell hard to the ground.
"Bang~bang~bang~" In the continuous sounds, one gray dwarf warrior was beaten and flew backwards, and the defense of the arrow and crossbow was instantly broken.
The senior gray dwarf warriors struggled to stand up, and there was a commotion at the entrance of the passage. A group of well-equipped yellow-green monster goblins came out waving their swords.
The levels across the hall are not accessible to ordinary goblins. The pseudo-fortress carefully built by the gray dwarves is smooth and flat. As long as the city gate is not opened wide, it will be difficult for them to pass. As for climbing the city wall, with the strength of the goblins, It is still possible to improve with a little bit of resilience. The premise is that no one is defending!
"Pick up your weapons and drive the enemy down!" The senior gray dwarf warrior roared loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked away by the kobold leader standing in front of him and fell down hard. The other gray dwarf warriors were stunned. , his captain, a dignified high-ranking soldier, was killed by someone?
During this hesitation, the goblins had already poured into the hall, followed closely by the ogres. The goblins were petite and had limited strength, but the ogres were all strong men, and they directly lifted the Goblins were thrown onto the city wall one by one. Goblins fell from the sky one after another and surrounded the gray dwarf warriors.
The gray dwarf senior warrior lying on the ground spitting out a mouthful of blood had a deathly pale face. He was a powerful man! There is actually a powerful person coming to attack!
No, he must delay as much time as possible. There are many powerful people in his tribe. As long as he can temporarily hold back his hands and feet and let the envoy in black bring the news, then the clan leader, elders, and high priest will be prepared, and this bastard will definitely There is death and no life.
Struggling to stand up, trying not to listen to the screams of his men on the city wall, the gray dwarf senior warrior plunged into the passage on the other side. This passage was also twists and turns, narrow and dark, and it was an excellent passage. The location of the sneak attack is also a good defensive place where one man can block the enemy and ten thousand men can't attack it.
"Hey, he is actually a smart man." A faint arc appeared at the corner of the hell kobold leader's mouth, and his eyes were focused on the narrow passage. "Although the idea is good, in the face of absolute strength, these small means can't do anything at all. effect."
More than twenty gray dwarf warriors were all killed and became the goblin's rations. The ogre climbed up clumsily and joined the eating process, making the hell kobold leader's mouth twitch. These were his Subordinates? I really want to feed all these Low guys to the dogs. What should I do? It's not as easy to use as the gray dwarves. Every time I take it out, I feel like my face is dull.
Is it possible for these gray dwarves to be subdued? The hell kobold leader suddenly felt a little moved, maybe he could give it a try.
