Chapter 1697: Enemy's Enemy
Rebick left the Governor's Mansion and walked towards a block in the south of the city. In Chengxiao's barracks, several people were already waiting for him. The three of them are Rebick's confidantes, one is the sword demon, the other is a Catu, and the other is a Ghanaian. These three are generals of the Shadow Principality. Seeing Rebick approaching, the three generals surrounded him.
The Sword Demon General with a dark golden luster flowing all over his body said, "Master Rebick, how are you doing? Do you want us to fight?"
Rebick shook his head, repeated Astor's words, and the three generals all whispered. The most reckless and reckless General Cato roared: "If we want us to be their funeral objects, then we might as well fight with them!"
The always insidious General Gana hissed from his mouth and said: "Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity you don't have one. Otherwise, you would have thought that two warlords died under their hands, and we fought them desperately, and took eggs What's the difference between hitting a rock?"
The Sword Demon General, who was considered stable, said: "Master Rebick, how can we just sit and wait for death. They are simply using us as cannon fodder, staying with them, we will only die in this city in the end. Instead, what How about trying to cooperate with humans and deal with these guys together."
General Nagana laughed: "You probably forgot what we did to humans. Humans will cooperate with us? Unless, their heads are flooded like the Catus."
General Gatu yelled: "You Ghanaians can do nothing but shoot sly guns behind your back and speak poisonously. This doesn't work and that doesn't work, so what do you say?"
General Gana hissed a few times and said, "What are you in a hurry for? I believe Lord Rebick has already figured out a countermeasure."
Rebick said in a deep voice: "I really thought that there is no better way now than to cooperate with humans. Astor also said that one of the human army is their natural enemy. If he comes Here, Astor and the others can only wait for the fate of being destroyed."
"Humans have a saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Although we have been hostile to humans, if we provide Astor and the others with information and necessary assistance, it is not impossible to cooperate. But the key is, Astor I wonder if the person I'm most afraid of is among human beings."
Rebic waved to the sword demon general: "You go to the exit of the tunnel in the Misty Mountains to guard. If humans can come out of the big tunnel, then I will talk to them about cooperation on my behalf."
"What if they don't want to accept it?" General Sword Demon asked.
Rebick said in a deep voice: "I hope they can be more rational. If they refuse, then we can only consider giving up the Shadow City. When the two armies are at war, we will take the opportunity to transfer."
There's really no way out of this,
The sword demon general nodded and said, "I'm going to the Misty Mountains now."
At this moment, in the large tunnel in the Misty Mountains, the imperial army is resting. Allen and Lucy occupied a corner. Allen condensed a few golden flames in his palm, and outlined the outlines of the horses with the flames. These small horses galloped and stood up in Allen's palms. .
Lucy looked at it with a smile on her face, and at the same time lamented that Alan's control over the source power had reached an extremely subtle level, otherwise it would not be possible to use flames to interpret a few war horses so wonderfully.
Allen suddenly felt something, put away his palm, and the war horse turned into flames and disappeared in his palm. When he stood up, Belmode quietly came to his side and said, "Master, as you expected, the underground hall when we came here has been destroyed, and now there are piles of fallen rocks, blocking the tunnel."
The old marshal who was waiting for the results of Belmode's investigation stood up when he heard the words: "Then we have no other choice but to move forward."
Allen nodded: "Let's go then."
Rodeck said loudly: "Everyone get up and move on."
The next march went smoothly. It seemed that he was frightened by Allen's golden flame, and no hell worms appeared to block the way. Counting the time, we have been marching in the belly of the mountain for almost a day. In the evening, the procession stopped again. This time the stop was not due to hellworms blocking the road, but the tunnel was interrupted.
Allen stood at the cut-off, where a huge fault appeared, with a width of more than ten meters, and ordinary soldiers could not jump across it. Allen looked up and saw that the fault seemed to be dug out of the mountain by something. Not only did it cut off the tunnel, but it also created a ground fissure like an abyss. Allen took a torch and threw it down the abyss. The torch quickly went away and finally disappeared into the darkness. The sound of falling to the ground was not heard for a long time, and he didn't know how deep the abyss was.
"This is troublesome." Rodke looked at the fault and sighed: "Even if we pull out a cable bridge, horses and ordnance can't get through, so what can we do?"
"It's not impossible." Allen looked up and said, "I'll take care of it."
At this time, a stone beside Rodke rolled down, and the stone suddenly made a soft crack when it rolled into the darkness. Hearing this voice, Rodek was taken aback. Just now when the torch fell, there was no sound. Why did the stone bottom out so quickly?
Then the ground started shaking.
The vibration originated from the abyss underground, and Allen threw another torch immediately. Soon, by the light of the fire, he saw a huge black shadow climbing up from the ground, and he immediately shouted: "Back up, back up, something is coming up!"
Rodke quickly commanded the army to retreat, and the infantry formed several layers of shield formations, with pikemen and musketeers interspersed among them, forming a temporary offensive formation. Allen stood outside the formation, holding the handle of the big sword in his hand, and looked at the fault in front of him.
The vibration became stronger and stronger, and suddenly a huge black shadow rushed out from the fault. Under the firelight, it could be seen that this was an extremely huge bug, with a body the size of a mountain peak, and each pair of feet was as thick as an elephant leg. The nodular carapace of the insect body is dark purple, and the surface is covered with fist-sized crystals, which looks like full of pimples.
The flat worm head is like a mountain bag, obviously the same kind of creature as the hell worm, but it has compound eyes all over it. These eyes are scattered all over the head in a chaotic manner, and each eyeball looks in different directions. The first hundred-eyed monster has two thick and long tentacles, each with a deep purple spar at the front end. There are yellow streaks shimmering. The giant worm opened its mouth and spit out two crescent-like huge palatal teeth. There were rows of nest teeth in its mouth. It made a sharp whistling sound in the direction of Allen, and at the same time, it sprayed a fishy wind from its mouth, blowing People are almost breathless.
Rodke shouted: "This is the worm queen, the hell worm queen! Be careful, the worm queen is here, and its personal guards will definitely come too!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was the sound of flapping wings below the fault. After a while, dark red beetles flew up behind the queen, and these queen's personal guards even had insect wings. For a while, the army was blocked by the queen and her personal guards.
