The 414th chapter is like a broken bamboo (1)
The progress of the war was completely beyond Danica's expectations. It was not that their army was strongly blocked by the Curse Sect, but that they were unstoppable, capturing Kale and speeding around the suburbs of Inska City, and the army was almost undecently blocked.
This abnormal situation caused great uneasiness among them. Even Lucia, who has always been generous, couldn't help but say when facing Inska City not far away, she said, "Are we just going in like this?"
Although the gates of Inska City were closed, there were no defenders standing on the city walls, and it seemed like a ghost town was dead.
Phyllis and Tyran both looked at Danica. Whether it was an empty city plan was not a fool's guess. This required intelligence support. As far as the entire Katic continent is concerned, Danica's Gemini Kingdom has the most complete intelligence system. In this case, Danica still needs to make a decision.
However, the current situation seemed to be beyond Danica's expectations. She frowned and rode on Miao Ke's horse in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she took out a simple workmanship, which seemed to be a black iron ring and put it on her hand, and then she was dazed again.
"Danika, do you think we should go in?" After waiting for several minutes, Phyllis couldn't help asking.
This sentence seemed to wake Danica up, and she turned her head and said, "Ah? Oh, OK, OK."
"What's good!" Phyllis gave Danica a blank look and said, "I'm asking if we want to attack this city."
Danica lowered her head slightly, remained silent for a while, and said, "Fight, no matter what, we have already walked here. Should we retreat again? Even if there is an ambush inside after we attacked and lost the support of the city wall, can our army still not defeat it?"
"Okay." Phyllis took a deep breath and said to the messenger next to him, "Then let's fight! Let them pay more attention, especially after attacking the city, beware of ambushing."
After receiving the orders of Danica, Phyllis, Lucia and Tyran, Catherine, Femiller and Sophia, the three front-line commanders dared to order: attack.
When the soldiers of the Gemini Kingdom pushed the huge siege car and hit the city gate, there was no living person on the streets of Inska City, nor did they see the dead souls, demons, etc., and they were deserted, with only the cold wind of early spring sweeping by.
After discussion, Catherine first sent five thousand elite soldiers of the Gemini Kingdom. They had undergone strict discipline, physical fitness and combat skills training, and could better deal with any emergencies than the passionate soldiers of the Orcs.
Half an hour after the five thousand elite soldiers of the Gemini Kingdom entered Inska City, war suddenly came from the city, and then someone ran out to report that they had been ambushed. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Catherine and the others immediately sent people to follow. Although they were ambushed, it didn't matter. The city gate had been broken, and how much effect the so-called ambush could play.
On the hill outside Inska City, Danica and the others were still watching the battle from afar.
"There are only 10,000 demons in the city?" Danica asked expressionlessly.
Emily flew over as a crow and said, "Yes, there are only ten thousand demons, and those demons don't know what's going on, and their combat power seems to have become much weaker."
Danica nodded and said, "I understand." Then she said to Philis and the others, "Let's go in and take a look, the demons with only 10,000 should be solved soon."
"Okay." Phyllis said.
As soon as he entered Inska City, Danica felt a discomfort.
"I don't like this place." Tyran said directly.
Philis also frowned slightly and said, "Maybe it's because the concentration of fel energy here is too high." Philis and Tyran are both elves, and elves who are close to nature will never get used to fel energy from the abyss.
"Adit for a while, we will deal with this bad smell in the next few years." Danica said comfortingly.
Under the leadership of Catherine, Danica and the others came to a square in the center of the city. A nearly ten-meter-high altar stood in the center of the square, surrounded by corpses, demons, and coalition forces of various races.
"Is this the Demon Gate?" Lucya got off the horse and leaned closer to take a look. "I thought it was really a door, it turned out to be an altar!"
Danica also got off the horse and said, "It's all the same. Although it looks like an altar, it does play a role as a door."
Phyllis's face was a little serious and said, "The space here is very unstable, especially directly above the altar."
Danica asked, "Do you have a way to destroy this altar?" This altar that connects the two worlds cannot be removed by just a chisel and a hammer. It can accidentally detonate the already unstable space.
Phyllis took out a bracelet and put it on his hand, closed his eyes and slowly mobilized his mental power, but... there was no change. At least Lucyya saw no change, but felt that Phyllis' mental power seemed to emit special fluctuations through the bracelet. There was no way, she was a shaman and really didn't understand these things about the magician.
After more than ten minutes, Phyllis opened his eyes, looked tired, and said, "This demon gate involves very profound space magic. It is not easy to remove it... Perhaps, we can choose to explode it, set up a timer device, and we can dodge it from afar. Even if it triggers a space explosion, it will not affect us, and at most it will destroy the city."
"Blasting? It's a simple and crude method." Danica smiled and said, "What did you learn from Duru?" The dwarves were still very familiar with blasting because they wanted to mine ore. In order to mine coal mines, the Aishi Chamber of Commerce also spent a lot of effort to find several dwarves who specialize in blasting. They offered them delicious food and drink for several months before they learned a little, but it was just a fur.
Phyllis said dissatisfiedly: "It's not just the dwarves who can explode. They only need a simple magic device that can also achieve fixed-time and fixed-point explosion."
Danica said: "Are you sure you want to use a magic device here? The fel energy concentration here is very high. Are you not afraid that the magic device will be affected? It would be fine if it fails. If it detonates in advance, we will not die here!"
Phyllis opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She really didn't expect this problem.
"What do you think?" Phyllis said in anger, "You can't really work here for several days before tearing it down?"
Danica smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is no need to be so troublesome. We can find someone to help."
Taylan, who had been standing next to him, said, "This is not good, it will affect morale a lot." Taylan believed that if Danica issued an order, no one in the Gemini Kingdom soldiers would dare to object, even if they would perform such a mission of dying. But not daring to resist does not mean that they would be willing. This little accumulation of dissatisfaction will have a great impact on the construction of the entire army.
Danica thought for a while and said, "It's really not good to use your own people... I heard that there are still some living people in this city?"
Phyllis frowned and said, "They are poor people too... Forget it, there is nothing we can do, it's better than using their own people."
Danica said to Emily, who was transformed into a crow and standing on the branch: "Go and find someone to come over, live."
After giving the order, Danica said to Catherine who was standing next to her: "Arrange people to retreat, it is best to stay away. No one knows how far it will affect if the space explosion is triggered."
Katherine lowered her head and said, "Yes!"
Danica said to Phyllis, "Do you want to stay here too?"
Phyllis smiled and said, "Why, isn't it welcome?"
Danica said bluntly: "Not welcome."
"Okay." Phyllis touched his nose and said, "Then let's go too."
Why not let them be present? Is there anything shameful? Lucyya deliberately pretended to be pitiful and said, "But I want to stay here and see."
Phyllis pushed Lucya and said in a joking tone: "Okay, I don't like us here, and I still have to stay here with a stern face? Have some ambitions, let's go!"
Without waiting for Lucia to refute, Phyllis pulled Lucia out. After walking a few steps, they saw Emily coming over with a middle-aged man with a terrified face, shivering and shivering, wearing a ragged cotton jacket. Judging from his body shape and the calluses on his hands, he should be a blacksmith. Thinking about it, it would be a pity for such a technical talent who can make arms and weapons to be transformed into an undead.
After all, there are more than 100,000 people, and it is quite troublesome to retreat. The main one is the orcs, which completely dispersed as soon as they enter the city. According to past experience, this is a good time to grab military merits and plunder war spoils. Who can care about the whole team that is not in charge?
It took Sofia more than two hours, and under Lucia's gradually becoming impatient gaze, she finally reintegrated the orc army, and then immediately led the army out of Insca City - the other armies had been evacuated for more than an hour.
After everyone left, Danica waved her hand, and Emily turned into a crow and flew away. The huge city center square was only left with Danica and the captured blacksmith. By the way, there were corpses all over the floor.
At this time, the blacksmith no longer looked terrified and became calm.
Danica looked at the altar in front of her and said, "What's going on?"
The blacksmith bowed and said, "It's right. Lord Master and the demon leader from the abyss had a dispute. It is said that because of the leadership of the Scourge Legion, the dispute was still very fierce. Lord Master was so angry that he closed the initial demon gate, losing the evil support provided by the demon gate, and the demons who invaded this world became weak, so the demons decided to rebuild the demon gate here."
Corris? It turns out that he is a restless person! Danica sneered in her heart. She didn't expect that they were so lucky this time. They happened to meet the weakest time within the Curse Sect, but... why didn't she get this news?!
A trace of viciousness flashed in Danica's eyes, but she quickly returned to her calmness and said, "Okay, I already know."
The blacksmith secretly glanced at Danica and said carefully: "Then am I still staying here to find out the news?"
Danica glanced at him and said, "No, your mission has been completed."
Great! Finally, I can leave this ghost place! The blacksmith shouted in his heart, and a smile couldn't help but hang a smile on his face. As a result, the corner of his mouth just raised, a wind blade pierced the heart from behind, and Danica's cold and cold voice sounded in his ears: "Since the mission is over, you can have a good rest!"
The blacksmith's face became ferocious and terrifying, and he kept cursing in his heart, but soon, his face eased and the resentment in his heart disappeared a lot - since he accepted such a job, he was destined to have such a fate. Isn't this normal thing? It's just that years of peaceful life gave him an illusion that he thought he could spend his life peacefully and have a good ending.
It was just a delusion. The blacksmith slowly closed his eyes, not knowing how his wife and children were doing. With the gold coins he sent every once in a while, they should have lived a good life, at least there would be no big problems with food and clothing.
That's enough, enough...
Danica saw the blacksmith lying on the ground, and still had a expressionless face. She turned over Miao Kema, gently pinched the horse's belly, and walked out of the city.
Just as Danica stepped out of Inska City, she heard a loud roar.
After the previous meeting on the hill, Phyllis breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's great, it's finally solved, we can go back." Phyllis always felt very uneasy about them going so deep into the enemy-controlled areas. If something goes wrong, it would be really funny.
But what Philis did not expect was that Danica did not agree to the proposal, and she said: "I think it's an opportunity now."
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Phyllis said.
Danica paused and said, "Since the Curse Sect spread the plague, we have insufficient understanding of the southern coastal areas, which is very passive in military terms. In addition, I don't know what's going on today, and those demons seem to have problems and their combat power soars."
"So..." Phyllis had a bad premonition.
Danica said: "So I don't think we should give up on this opportunity, we can...take the opportunity to go deeper."
Phyllis shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, and said, "It's so risky. Our goal has been achieved this time and we can retreat completely. It's not a wise choice to create extravagant problems at this time."
The two people had a different opinion, and Danica looked at Tyran and Lucia: "What do you think you should do?"
