Chapter 348 Curious

From the map, Essin is close to the northern part of the border.

Groney is the northernmost country in the human world. The northern part of its territory is a stretch of mountains that are extremely difficult to cross with the power of human beings. This mountainous area is still lacking in minerals, which makes it impossible for it to even become a country for dwarves to settle. In short, this barren, dangerous and long mountainous area has become a natural border to the north of human territory. It prevents human beings from expanding north, but in the same way, it also prevents any enemy from invading from here.

According to reports sent back by a few expedition teams, the other side of the mountains is a dangerous sea, mixed with countless broken ice, and there is no territory where any intelligent creatures survive.

"He is heading north." Ailin pondered for a while and spoke. On the surface, he was stating a fact that anyone could judge, but in fact he was asking questions.

Essin is an ambitious guy, he may be a speculator, but he is not a fool. Why is he doing this?

For a moment, the whole room fell silent. Essin's movements could be judged, but his motivation was really elusive.

"Speaking of it, Lord Alinn." An old man with white hair spoke. He was not a court official, but an aide to Alinn - a scholar with a reputation in the academic world. "I remember one thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"A hundred years ago, in order to attack the enemy troops of the Northern Alliance from behind, Garunas, the wilderness sage, spent considerable efforts to dig a road from these mountains..."

"Oh, there's still this?"

"Of course, although it is 'digging', it is actually just a few key checkpoints opened. Most of this road is formed naturally. So although it has obtained a road that sneaks into the enemy's rear, Garunas did not spend a lot of manpower and material resources. Only a sage like him can achieve such an amazing result... However, this road was not used in the end, because the enemy's defeat on the front battlefield was more than imagined. After the founding of King Markremiz, this matter was rarely mentioned. Related matters are only recorded on a few books."

"You mean..." Ellen looked at the Grooney national map on the wall. "Is there a road in this mountainous area?"

"Yes. If the book is correct," the old scholar stood up and came to the map. His fingers drew a horizontal line on the map. "It's roughly a way to go."

“The end of this road… leads to the northeast?”

"Yes, that's what the book says. Its end leads to the northeast...but this mountain road is worthless in commerce and trade because it has no inhabitants along the way. As I just said, it was built to sneak attacks behind enemy lines. After it was built, it was forgotten."

"The roads in the mountainous areas are always easy to be destroyed. A heavy rain may bury it... After all, it happened a hundred years ago." Some people questioned it.

"Ah, it is usually true, but there are always exceptions. The book says that most of this road is formed naturally, and what Garunas does is just to open up a very small number of unpassable mounts. Since it is formed naturally, in my opinion... it will not change much in a hundred years."

This explanation is very powerful, so others no longer objected.

"So Essin's goal is this road?" asked Alinn. "Well, he is following this road... but he is in the Northeast... is he going to participate in the war with the Chaos Legion?"

Judging from the route drawn by the old scholar, after Essin left the secret road in the mountains, the city of Niustria is not far ahead.

There seems to be no other possibility for this problem. Because the Northeast is the battlefield between Groone and the Chaos Legion, Essin is undoubtedly planning to join in.

"He was chaotic...he has become a believer in Chaos?"

"It's too late, no matter whether he is or not." Someone shrugged. "Prime Minister, now I understand Essin's idea... Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The Chaos Legion has been defeated by General Ash Rufate, and Essin's plan is too late no matter what he intends to do."

The atmosphere quickly became relaxed. Whether Essin intends to join the Chaos Legion or make a contribution in the battle to defeat the Chaos Legion, his movements were too slow. In order to prevent others from knowing his actions, Essin deliberately isolated the news. This did make Eagle City unable to understand his actions for a while, but in another aspect, it also turned himself into a deaf and blind man. At this moment, the Chaos Legion had been defeated, and it was a complete destruction. It was meaningless for Essin to arrive here.

It must be said that it is meaningful, and that meaning is to bring shame upon oneself.

...

The sound of the gong that issued an alarm resounded throughout the night sky. Accompanied by the gong, the sharp shouts of the sentry. The shouts were also clear in the darkness. So the defenders quickly understood that the Chaos Legion was launched.

The reaction speed of the city of Niustria was not slow. In just a short time, the person in charge of the left-behind troops hurriedly got up from the bed and began to organize the troops.

Unfortunately, although he reacted quickly, the city of Nuestria was a big city, and there were only more than a thousand defenders in the city. This limited defenders would inevitably be scattered in various locations in the city. This objective fact determines a tragic fact: when he gathers his troops, the daylily will be cold.

The assault troops of the Chaos Legion climbed over the wall and entered the city without any suspense, defeating the few soldiers on the city wall and opening the city gate. Then, naturally, the main force of the Chaos Legion who was on standby outside the city rushed into the city.

The person in charge soon realized that the total number of Chaos Legion was also very small, and there were only a thousand people. This was obviously a defeated defeated soldier. In the past, this level of attack was no more serious than a person's finger poking, but now the city of Niustria is as empty as a piece of tofu, which can be poked with a slight poking.

Near the city gate, hundreds of corpses were already lying on the streets.

Most of them were scattered defenders trying to resist, and of course there were several Chaos warriors. For a big city like the city of Niustria, such a battle scene was quite cold, but no matter whether it was cold or not, the Blood Tooth Lord had already won the victory.

At this moment, the resistance of the city of Nuestria had been destroyed by him. As he expected, once the weak southerners found that the situation was not good, they immediately did what they were best at - retreat. Yes, the defenders in the city have now retreated to the second wall (as mentioned earlier, according to modern urban defense ideas, Nuestria is also divided into three walls), leaving the entire outer city area to the invaders.

The Blood-Tooth Lord stood a little far away and observed the second city wall guarded by the southerners. This defense is not as difficult as the outer wall, but he also knew that with the other party being prepared, it would be impossible to capture the second city wall with the little force in his hands. If there was plenty of time, the Blood-Tooth Lord was willing to try it, but unfortunately, this is the enemy's rear, and the enemy's army may come back at any time. His time is really limited.

It was a real pity. The terrifying lord observed the second city wall and the defenders running around, his heart full of regret. His axe was once again covered with blood, but the axe blade still shone with a hungry light.

The Blood-Tooth Lord's position was very good. There were about a dozen Chaos Warriors lying in front of him. These were the results of the Blood-Tooth Lord's previous attempts. The rain of bullets shot from the top of the city killed these invaders.

"Sir!" A subordinate rushed from the back. "We have found and controlled the grain warehouse."

"How many?" asked Lord Blood Tooth.

"Many...many! We can eat whatever we want." The subordinate said anxiously.

"Send 300 people to defend there to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire." The Blood-Tooth Lord ordered. He had given up the idea of ​​attacking the second level of the city wall, and it was more appropriate to maintain the existing results. If there were any remaining enemies burning the warehouse, this battle would probably be in vain. "How about other places?"

"Most of the places are empty," the subordinate reported. "But there," he pointed his hand. "We blocked a group of enemies who wanted to escape."

"It's not over yet?" Lord Blood Tooth was a little disbelief. According to the battle at the city gate just now, there was no reason why his subordinates had not finished the battle for such a long time.

"The enemy's resistance is very tenacious." The subordinates reported. "Our side was defeated in four attacks."

"How many of them are there?" The Blood-Tooth Lord was a little curious. He had already planned to hand over the battle over there to his subordinates.

"About a few dozen people, no more than a hundred people. But... they are very powerful, and there are a few particularly powerful people. The soldiers we rushed in were knocked down."

"One hundred people?" A cruel smile appeared on the terrifying lord's face again. "It's so interesting, I'll go and see it too."

Above the city wall, the palace chief Scadra was holding the person in charge's clothes tightly. The old man looked extremely excited.

"Queen... Her Majesty the Queen is still outside! I order you, I order you to lead your army to attack immediately and save the Queen!!"

No matter how excited he was, it was useless. The two soldiers pulled him away from the person in charge. Everyone knew what kind of credit it would be to lead the army to attack and rescue the queen, but they also knew that if they did this, they would be a hundred times more likely to die than to save the queen.
