Chapter 1154: Clouds of War

As if the giant beast understood it, it stood up straight, raised its head and let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests. The roar continued for a long time, and the aftermath spread, but the giant beast had already raised its feet and moved towards the direction the boy pointed out. The way it advances is very domineering, and it adopts a straight-line propulsion method. No matter it encounters trees or rocks on the way, it will be squeezed and rolled hard, stepping on a smooth path in the highlands.

Behemoths and juveniles were soon joined by other dangerous species.

The first to join were snakes, large and small, all kinds of venomous snakes, and large boa constrictors. One of the giant pythons was the size of a chimney, with colorful scales and a row of purple crystal spines growing on the python's back. Among them, the patterns flicker, which are not comparable to ordinary snakes. Where it appears, the snake group automatically detours, pulling a certain distance away from it.

Then groups of highland wild boars emerged from the forest, and they followed behind the group of snakes. These wild boars were not small in size, their fur was black and shiny, and their two tusks were shining with snow-white light. The head is a wild boar. Its fur is dark red, but the two tusks around its mouth are as black as jade. From time to time, it roared to the colorful giant python, as if it was provoking the giant python.

The giant python rolled its eyes, turned its head and stuck out its tongue. At this time, the young man sitting on the head of the giant beast turned around and snorted. The colorful giant python and dark red wild red immediately lowered their heads and followed the team quietly.

Then, wild beasts such as sharp-toothed bears, electric leopards, flame-breathing monitor lizards, and long-horned apes joined the team one after another. The team grew stronger and stronger, with giant beasts and youngsters as beasts, pulled into a long dragon, and drove across the wild highlands like an army.

On this day, nearly two-thirds of the beasts left the wild highlands. When the army was gone, the Highlands became really quiet. The water in the Great Lake was surging, and a gray-backed bird flew back again. It flitted across the lake, and suddenly seemed to see something terrifying, chirping and flying into the air at the same time. On the lake where the birds flew over, something floated over.

At first glance, it looked like a giant python, with snow-white scales all over its body. But looking carefully, it turned out that it was a layer of snake skin. As for the giant snake that had shed its skin, it was nowhere to be found.

A pale electric light flashed through the dense clouds, and after a while, an ominous sound sounded from the clouds. Dark gray clouds surged, they came from the west, rolled over the Lagama Mountains, and began to march towards the Shadow of Absolute Heights. The clouds blocked the sun, and the mountains under the thick clouds were gloomy and foggy. The shadows in the mountains seemed to be surging, they desperately extended forward, and spread to the Juying Heights.

In the shadows, some fluorescent lights lit up. Then a group of troops composed of blade demons drove out of the mountainous area. These demon soldiers with ice shards in their eyes were only wearing simple armor. Compared with the armor of human soldiers, alien soldiers can no longer be described as crude. The demons didn't carry weapons, they were deadly weapons in themselves. The military appearance of these demon soldiers could not be called orderly, but they barely maintained their formation. But their eyes that were flickering with cold light looked to the other side of the plateau,

From those eyes, it is not difficult to see that they are eager for killing and blood.

Some tall guys followed behind the Blade Demon, and it was a row of Catus. These big rhinos that walk upright, like their counterparts on the wild rock star, like to wear rough and heavy plate armor on their bodies. Most of the Catus carried a variety of huge weapons, ranging from chain hammers to large axes, and most of them held spears several meters high, and some of them had black battle flags tied to their barrels.

Behind the Catu people is a war beast raised by a foreign race. The war beast is huge, like a combination of a hippopotamus and a rhinoceros. It's just that their size is usually more than ten times that of a rhinoceros, so war beasts can drag large siege equipment, such as catapults or artillery. There are also simple thrones on them, and the blade demon will control these war beasts. There are usually several warriors, one controls the beast, and the rest keep beating the big leather drums tied to the sides of the beast.

The sound of the war drum beating by the devil resounded through the entire highland.

The long-worm-like Ghana wandered freely in the mountains, and the terrain of the Lagama Mountains could not restrict their movements. They were like two black tides, following both sides of the army formed by the Blade Demons and the Gatus. This wave of more than 10,000 people is rapidly rushing across the Lagama Mountains, and the soldiers at the forefront are beginning to step into the Juying Highland, echoing the thick clouds that are constantly advancing and spreading in the sky, causing serious damage to the mountain city on the other side of the highland. Great sense of oppression.

When Allen passed by on the other side of the highland on his war horse, he saw thick clouds in the west. The sky over there was terribly gloomy, and from time to time, gray lightning flashed across the clouds, tearing apart the sky like a sharp knife. Although he couldn't see the alien army on the high ground, he could feel the urgency of the cloud of battle.

Belmode rode his horse and chased after him, loudly saying, "It's the Shadow Principality!"

"It should be true. The shadow predicted by Vera finally appeared." Alan pointed to the thick cloud and said, "Soldiers of foreign races don't like sunlight and other lights. I'm sure that thick cloud is not a natural product, it should be It was the enemy's strong man who used some kind of ability to cooperate with the murderous aura emitted by the army to create this special celestial phenomenon. You see, it blocked the sun and allowed the army to march during the day. But I think, the time for the real attack It will be at night, when alien soldiers are at their best."

"Time is running out, we have to hurry up." Allen clamped his horse's belly, Belmode was beside him, and behind him were Hubble, who was walking like flying, and several strong men such as Regis and Lola.

When Allen arrived in the mountain city, even the sky in the east became gloomy, and then sporadic raindrops began to fall from the sky. The rain hit Allen's body, and he could feel a bit of scorching breath in the water droplets.

The city gate opened, and Allen's team galloped into the small square behind the gate. He got off his horse, and Remington came to meet him. The lord of the mountain city bowed half-kneeling to Alan, raised his head and said excitedly: "Master Alan, it's great that you arrived at this critical moment."

Allen nodded, and asked him some questions about Shancheng. When he heard that Remington was still raising the city wall, Allen shook his head, looked at the scaffolding on the city wall and said, "Remove all these things, there is no time, and quickly pull up the trebuchet and defensive artillery. If there is no accident , the enemy army should launch an attack at night, or even earlier. How many troops are there in the mountain city now?"

"Less than three thousand people, my lord." Remington looked behind Allen and said tentatively, "I thought you would bring reinforcements."

"Yes, we just rushed here first. But don't have too much hope, I can only send a thousand soldiers in a hurry." Allen has already walked towards the city wall.

Remington followed closely behind him and said, "Is it only one thousand? With all due respect, my lord, this may not be enough. My sentry told me that the enemy army has at least tens of thousands, or even more."

"I know, but you must also know. Without the support of the imperial army, we simply don't have that much manpower to mobilize. The mountain city can't be easily given up, but it can't be defended." Allen patted Remington on the shoulder and said: " Go and inform your people, the old, the weak, the sick, women and children, they leave first. Go to Unicorn Ridge through the Lyon Mountain Road, and the lord there will arrange for them to go to my territory. As for the men, all stay, see Can you buy me some time?"

"Buy time, so we have reinforcements?"

"Maybe, it depends on how the empire chooses. If they don't send troops, the mountain city may not be able to defend it. At that time, we can only give up. But at least, we have to try first."

Remington said bitterly: "I have also heard about the incident in the northern capital. I heard that His Royal Highness Julian has also arrived at Ark Port. Under such circumstances, the new king will probably not send troops, right?"

"The imperial army is not in his hands now, at least not all of them. In short, the situation here is very complicated. We have to hold hope, but we can't fight blindly." Alan pushed him gently: "Go and evacuate the residents. "

The news that some residents of the mountain city retreated first spread quickly. According to Allen's request, women, children, and the elderly and sick people left first. They didn't have time to bring all their belongings, and they left the mountain city in groups with only valuables and dry food that they could carry with them. Remington sent a force of about 100 people to protect them, and also to maintain order to ensure that people can reach Unicorn Ridge smoothly.

Allen's army arrived at noon. This army consisted of a hundred Mountain King fighters and other arms. Among them, musketeers accounted for the majority, and along with this army, a large amount of firearms and ammunition were shipped, including a batch of Thunderfire heavy machine guns and several Vulcan cannons. The person in charge of commanding this army is Bloy. Now the highlanders who already have the strength of the 23rd level can fully exert the power of the Hammer of Forbidden. The power of a battle.

Everything is being prepared nervously, and Shancheng continues to send soldiers to scout the enemy's situation. After losing a few soldiers, Allen's side got relatively complete information from the side of Juying Heights. At present, the alien army has stopped advancing. They are building a temporary camp, and it seems that they are preparing to rest on the high ground. From this point of view, the time for the real attack should be as Allen expected, when night rises after sunset.

Now all the scaffolding on the wall of the mountain city has been removed, and the defensive equipment has been pushed onto the wall and placed in place in the afternoon. Allen asked the soldiers to rest as much as possible so that they can deal with the alien attack at night. Unexpectedly, in the evening, another army arrived in the mountain city. It was an army of more than 2,000 people, and the arms were only conventionally configured, but the important thing was that this army held the battle flag of the Emerald Bucks Army.

The commander of this army is named Keller, and he has a light red beard, which is very eye-catching. Allen greeted him personally. When he saw Allen, Keller held his helmet and bowed: "We are here to support the mountain city under the order of Marshal Rodeck. But Mr. Allen, the situation is not optimistic, and the marshal also said that the southern border The main battlefield here is not a mountain city. So he asked me to tell you that if the situation is not right, you have to choose to evacuate."

"Is it the order of Marshal Rodeck?" Allen said in surprise: "This really surprised me."

Keller laughed boldly: "The army exists to protect the country. Although the political situation in the empire has become chaotic due to the relationship between the two princes. But for us soldiers, the mission of defending the territory is above all else. The marshal also said Now, it doesn’t matter whoever sits on the throne in the future, but the empire must be defended first, otherwise everything will be empty talk!”

Allen nodded, thinking that Rodek still remembered the pride and honor of a soldier. However, it is hard to say that there is no factor of falling out with Howson. Reminiscing that Julian is still in Ark Harbor, Rodeck's move seems to have a taste of showing favor to Julian.
