Chapter 314 Night Attack, Breaking Two Cities

Hekou Town.

Once this place was the most prosperous trade transit station in the kingdom.

The most elite Royal Knights and Archers were stationed here.

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

The three forces stood on the banks of the Elan River.

Unfortunately, the divine monster attacked the kingdom.

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

In less than a day.

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

The servants' legions were annihilated.

Afterwards, the divine monster attacked the city.

The capital and the dukedom were successively destroyed.

All the extraordinary people in the kingdom were devoured.

The civilian casualties exceeded 80%.

The huge kingdom collapsed directly.

After the war, only a few scattered towns on the periphery remained in this originally prosperous country.

And Hekou Town was one of them.

The River Mouth Town lost all its legions and extraordinary nobles.

It became the weakest force on the banks of the Elan River.

The guards recruited by the town dared not even go out of the gate.

They could only rely on the town walls for self-defense.

At the same time, they paid taxes to the dwarves and black dragons to maintain their neutral position and avoid being attacked.

Originally, the River Mouth Town thought that this status could continue.

But as the full-scale war between the Black Dragon King and the dwarves began.

The new nobles in the River Mouth Town began to worry.

They gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"There are dragon hunting crossbows in the town. I think we can defend the town and resist the army of the Black Dragon King."

"It is a good choice to ally with the dwarves, but we sent a request for alliance before."

"But we did not get a response from the dwarves. I am afraid that the people who indulged the Black Dragon King before insulted the Dwarf King and angered them."

"What should we do? Should we surrender to the Black Dragon King!"

"No!"

"I think the dwarves do not want allies, but for us to join the Dwarf City."

"There is no extraordinary noble in the river mouth town now."

"We have already lost the power to protect ourselves. It is better to surrender to the dwarves in exchange for a shelter."

"Anyway, we were all merchants before. Compared with the honor of the nobles, gold coins are more important."

Soon.

The new nobles in the town hall made a decision.

To surrender to the Bronzebeard City of the dwarves.

But at this time.

There was a noisy sound outside the hall.

When they were about to ask what happened.

Suddenly.

The wooden door of the town hall was knocked open.

Dozens of warriors in heavy armor rushed in.

The leader was the forest giant Holm they had just recruited.

Holm was wearing heavy steel armor forged by dwarves.

Holding a club full of spikes.

He looked at the human nobles inside with a sneer.

"Everyone."

"No need to discuss."

"From now on, the river mouth town belongs to us!"

"I'll give you two choices."

"Hand over the treasure and get out."

"Be killed by my stick!"

"There is no third way."

This sudden situation shocked the nobles present.

But they reacted quickly.

Someone stood up immediately.

"Hom, you violated the contract, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the mercenary union!"

There were also mercenary unions in the Dark Ages.

Once the mercenaries here betrayed their employers, they would be blacklisted and become black mercenaries.

The mercenary union would invite special hunters to hunt down these black mercenaries.

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

But for mercenaries like Holm who have joined the nobles, there is 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.

Killed the noble who stood up with a stick.

Then turned to the rest of the nobles.

"Any questions?"

Faced with this naked threat.

The nobles of the estuary town present trembled.

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

But a group of greedy and cunning businessmen.

At this time, they quickly made the right choice.

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

In response, Holm turned to the forest 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 the estuary town.

The town is still peaceful and peaceful.

There was no sign of occupation at all.

In the town hall at this moment.

"Sir."

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

He handed the fragment in his hand over.

Then he said.

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

"These are all mortals without extraordinary blood."

"Should we clean them 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 Holy Warriors will not abide by the doctrine.

Because this is the characteristic of the Holy Light Sect.

I believe in the Holy Light, but it does not mean that I will abide by the doctrine.

This behavior, which is considered to be pan-believer behavior in other sects, is common in the Holy Light Church.

Even the Holy Light Lord God is too lazy to care, basically the attitude is to obey if you like, and forget if you don't.

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

He strictly abides by the Holy Light doctrine.

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

But after the war is over.

Christian will not kill prisoners.

This is her bottom line.

So when Holm asked about it.

Christian said lightly.

"Imprison!"

"No action allowed."

Holm naturally did not dare to disobey, and then began to tell the intelligence obtained from the river mouth town.

"Sir."

"The current news."

"The Black Dragon King and the Dwarves have gathered heavy troops to confront each other on both sides of the Alan River."

"The dwarves have completed the general mobilization."

"It is expected that they will cross the river and attack tomorrow morning."

"The Black Dragon King is the same, and the main force is stationed on the river bank."

"At the same time, gnolls and dog-headed men are constantly sent across the river from the ferry outside the river mouth town."

"Attack the dwarf army from the flank."

"But this attack has stopped during the day."

"All the followers of the Black Dragon King have retreated to the south bank, and they should be ready to fight the dwarves to the death."

Hearing the information provided by Holm.

Christian said after thinking for a moment.

"Something is not right."

"From the intelligence we got before."

"The dwarves are obviously weaker than the Black Dragon King."

"Even if they want to fight a full-scale war, they should be the defensive party."

"Now they are gathering heavy troops on the river bank, which shows that they are fighting to the death."

"This is too abnormal."

Christian thought for a moment and said.

"The dwarves are plotting!"

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

"And then they want to attack the Black Dragon King from the side!"

Hearing this, the forest giant Holm scratched his head.

Such a complex tactical problem is obviously beyond his understanding.

Qingfeng said on the side.

"I didn't detect the dwarves' flank troops!"

Christian said quickly.

"It was not the Legion that attacked the Black Dragon King, but the Superhumans who were carrying out the decapitation plan."

"In the war between Superhumans, a surprise attack on the enemy commander is always the most practical and effective tactic."

"They must have sent an elite team to attack the Black Dragon King."

At this time, Holm knew what was going on.

"Then, sir, what should we do?"

"If the Black Dragon King is killed, his followers will definitely collapse."

In response, Christian quickly made a decision.

"Act in advance!"

"Holm, you will lead the army across the river immediately, head to the north bank, march to the Black Dragon King's lair, and take the lair directly."

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

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

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

"And I will personally lead a legion, disguised as reinforcements from the river mouth town, to capture the Dwarf Bronzebeard City."

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

"Time is running out, everyone act quickly."

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

"Yes!"

At the same time.

Dwarf City, the ferry outside Bronzebeard City.

Here.

All the dwarf armies have assembled.

Under the night.

One after another large warships were thrown into the water.

The Dwarf King Bronzebeard was constantly commanding the dwarves to board the ship.

On the other side.

The followers of the Black Dragon King were also actively preparing equipment and ships for defending the city.

Just wait for the sky to gradually brighten.

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

At this time, the Dwarf King Bronzebeard looked anxious.

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

"Cadoso should be outside the black dragon king's lair now."

"Now!"

"Just waiting for his news."

Just when the dwarf king was worried.

Outside the black dragon king's lair.

Cardoso's flexible body leaped on the cliff.

Behind him.

The undead followed closely behind him.

Their destination was the black dragon king's lair.

Because on the main road leading to the lair, there were patrolling dragon descendants everywhere.

Cardoso, as a ranger.

Finally chose the cliff as the direction of attack.

Not long after.

He had appeared outside the black dragon king's lair.

At this time.

From time to time, dragon-transforming followers flew over the cliff at the entrance of the lair.

But these low-level creatures could not see through Cardoso, who had the blood of the drow.

Wait until these patrolling followers left.

Cardoso waved his hand.

The Undead followed Bol and quickly came to Cardoso along the lowered rope ladder.

Cardoso pointed to the nest.

In the nest 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.

Meaning to fight together.

The other two understood.

Then the Undead Master quickly drew a teleportation array.

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

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

"Ants."

"I knew you would come to assassinate!"

"Roar~"

The Black Dragon King roared.

The followers at the entrance of the cave rushed into the cave.

"Time is running out, kill!"

Cardoso rushed up waving the Moon Shadow in his hand.

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

Bol then began to use his magic power.

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

With one slash of the sword, he cut the dragon breath of the Black Dragon King in half.

Then he jumped.

The greatsword hit the Black Dragon King's nose.

The dragon breath stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, the Undead Mage cast a spell.

"Finger of Death."

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

But it made the black dragon sluggish on the spot.

The finger of death has a strong paralysis effect.

Taking this opportunity.

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

The light swept across.

It slashed towards the head of the Black Dragon King.

At this time, the Black Dragon King could never have thought that death would come so quickly.

But at this critical moment.

A voice suddenly sounded in the dragon's nest.

"Not bad."

"Just in time."

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

He forcibly retracted the knife.

Then he quickly jumped a few times and left the place where he had just stood.

When he turned his head.

Suddenly found that a black shadow appeared in the place where he had just stood.

"Shadow Warrior!"

Cardoso seemed to recognize the other party's origin.

His eyes were full of fear.

At this time, Qingfeng's "chuckle" came.

"I didn't expect it."

"I actually saw the artifact Moon Shadow of the Drow here!"

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

"But your current strength is not as good as a demigod."

"At most!"

"Only the beginning of the legend!"

Before the voice fell.

A knife light slashed down.

Cardoso held the Moon Shadow in his hand horizontally.

Blocked Qingfeng's attack.

But Cardoso also retreated ten steps.

"Can't win!"

At this moment, he immediately judged the situation.

Then he shouted without hesitation.

"Retreat!"

Knight Bol saw this and whistled.

A flying horse appeared out of thin air.

He jumped up and flew away directly.

The last necromancer saw this.

Both of them ran away.

He was the only one left.

He turned around and wanted to leave.

But the next second he saw his shadow standing up.

Then he raised his hand and slashed with his sword.

The necromancer didn't have time to say a word.

The skull fell down.

The soul fire in his eyes dissipated.

And 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 fast speed."

"It's a pity that I can't take them down for the Lord."

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

Qing Feng turned his head and looked at the dragon's nest.

There.

The Black Dragon King who was so arrogant before.

Now he cowered in the dragon's nest.

He looked like a weak and helpless punching bag.

"What a rubbish!"

"You call yourself the Black Dragon King without even a legend."

Qing Feng sneered.

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

Soon!

Holm brought the forest giant to the nest.

He successfully controlled the Black Dragon King and his followers.

After a round of persuasion.

The Black Dragon King chose to surrender tactfully.

The fifth map fragment was also obtained by his followers.

And at this moment!

The sky was gradually getting brighter.

On the Alan River.

The Dwarf King waited all night but did not receive any news of victory.

Finally, he decided to go all out.

He personally led the Dwarf tribe across the river and launched a full-scale attack.

But just as the Dwarf King gave the order.

A piece of bad news came soon after.

"Bronzebeard City!"

"It's occupied!!!"
