Chapter 655: Help Us Work! (8000)
Boom!
Huge boulders fell one after another.
More and more slave warriors rushed up on the blood-stained road and were crushed by the rolling boulders.
Even so, the slave warriors who never felt fear and terror still ignored the casualties and sacrifices and rushed forward with all their strength.
The mighty long-range attacks flew from behind the rolling rubble like heavy rain.
The slave warriors who rushed up together soon fell under the coverage of dense long-range attacks.
The extremely powerful long-range attacks prevented the slave warriors from approaching the camp within 300 meters.
Seeing the charging slave warriors fall to the ground one after another, the Azshara walls that kept flashing with fire and magic light made the drow elves watching the battle show a complicated look.
After counting the specific losses, a dozen drow commanders with livid faces muttered unhappily:
"With such good ranged weapons and equipment, why didn't they take them out earlier?"
"Even if they can't support us, we are willing to pay for them!"
"They must want to make more money, so they deliberately let us suffer casualties, so that the weapons and equipment in their hands can have higher value."
"That's right, we must teach Azshara a lesson and let them hand over enough ranged weapons and equipment!"
"Not only ranged weapons, I heard that Azshara also has a considerable number of enchanted equipment and magic props..."
"..."
In the discussion of a dozen drow commanders, Azshara has become the culprit of their failure.
They are ready to unite and let Azshara give an explanation.
The drow commanders who did not suffer serious losses around them looked at each other calmly after hearing their discussions and strategies.
They still have strength and have completed their previous combat missions.
They are not like these damaged drow commanders, who look for suitable targets to swallow up and immediately replenish their strength and power.
Of course, they are very "curious" about the strength of Mistress Sera and the various materials produced in Azshara City.
If these guys succeed, they are also happy to intervene and share a piece of the cake.
If these idiots fail, they will immediately change the direction of attack, swallow these drow troops whose strength has already been damaged, and make friends with Mistress Sera.
No matter what they do, they will not lose.
Liya, who has organized the second line of defense, did not take the exchanges and discussions of the drow commander too seriously.
She silently watched the battle in the distance, with a little emotion and expectation in her eyes.
Although she occasionally learned about the news and recent situation of the development of the Gulf Territory, Liya never thought that the Gulf Territory would be so bold and even conquer Sera.
The growth shown by Sera also made Liya very interested.
They could obviously retreat now, but they insisted on holding their positions, which was completely unlike the drow elves.
But their actions would not move the other drow elves, but would make them think they were fools.
"Perhaps, the Gulf Territory will still give people surprises secretly like before."
Thinking so in her heart, Liya looked at the drow commanders who were ready to move, and felt that the word "death" was already written on their faces.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The boulder hit the huge steel puppet, but it did not defeat it like other slave warriors, but broke into several pieces and scattered aside in the fierce collision.
This rusty steel puppet, with its heavy six-legged mechanical legs, stepped firmly towards the hillside.
The slave warriors followed closely behind the steel puppet, using it as a cover, and advanced step by step.
Several fireballs flew in succession, but exploded in front of the steel puppet.
A layer of tough and strong energy barrier was revealed after the fire dissipated.
Continuous crossbow arrows flew "whoosh" and hit the joints of the steel puppet fiercely.
Crack!
Clang!
The armor-piercing crossbow arrow broke into two pieces, and the position where the steel puppet was hit was also hit hard, leaving a deep groove.
Facing this fierce impact, the huge steel puppet paused for a while.
Dozens of heavy crossbow arrows flew again, shooting intensively at the leg joints of the steel puppet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The huge steel shield, lying between the two, blocked the fatal crossbow arrows.
The heavy crossbow arrows with extremely strong penetrating power fiercely inserted into the steel shield and finally penetrated the thick shield.
Even so, the thick steel shield still withstood the impact of the heavy crossbow arrows, allowing the steel puppet to continue moving forward.
Just as Gatel was about to use the dragon hunting crossbow, Sera stopped him and said in a calm tone:
"Let them get within 200 meters."
"Activate the mind protection device!"
"Activate the automatic shooting mechanical tower!"
"Get the catapult ready!"
Sera was very clear about the importance of this combat mission, which was not only related to the various war machines newly produced and manufactured by the Gulf Territory, but also to her future "development".
Sera did not value her own development, but would not refuse the responsibilities and obligations she should bear.
She watched the enemy army getting closer and closer, and saw three more steel puppets rushing towards the Azshara camp below, and issued a combat order:
"Catapults fire!"
The clear order was transmitted to the phalanx of catapults.
The long-awaited Bigo manipulated the exoskeleton armor, knocked down the launch buckle of the catapult, and shouted in a shrill and excited voice:
"Target the signal beacon and fire!!"
The dazzling red signal flare hit the back of the steel puppet accurately.
The huge steel puppet thought that the attack was coming, and immediately raised the shield with heavy crossbows.
Bang!
The red signal smoke spread, emitting bright light.
The enemy has been marked!
Every excited face showed a joyful expression, and started the catapult happily.
Click! Click! Click!
The huge counterweight fell suddenly, and the narrow slingshot arm swung forward.
On the side of the demonized iron wood emitting silver light, various magical lights appeared.
The dark brown metal iron ball whistled and hit the steel puppet below.
The steel puppet continued to hold the shield, completely unaware of the slave warrior covered by red smoke behind it.
Bang!
More than 10 metal balls hit the red smoke, and dozens of slave warriors who were unable to dodge were instantly smashed into a mass of meat by the huge impact force.
After being hit violently, the pitch-black metal ball suddenly cracked, and the terrifying flames spread in all directions.
The broken metal blocks, driven by the flames and heat waves, turned into deadly weapons, flying wildly in all directions.
The slave warriors around were hit fatally, their bodies were torn apart by the flying shrapnel, and a large number of them fell down in an instant.
The remaining slave warriors were also pushed to both sides by the terrifying flame shock wave and fell to the ground in a mess.
They struggled to get up, but soon fell down again powerlessly.
The terrifying impact force had shattered their internal organs and took their lives.
In a blink of an eye, there was only one lonely steel puppet left in the attacking team.
Observing the powerful effect of the weapon, Bi Gao opened his mouth and laughed.
He clenched his fists excitedly, quickly recorded various data with a recorder, and said to the goblins under his command:
"Good job, guys!"
"Explosion is art!"
The attack was blocked, but the slave warriors still did not retreat. They stepped on the bodies of their companions and followed the other three steel puppets, continuing to stride forward.
After taking a look at the slower-moving steel puppets, Sera, who had already prepared, did not attack them first, but turned his head to look at both sides.
The Azshara camp is located on a steep hillside, with a solid wall behind and steep hillsides on both sides.
Except for the lack of retreat, this is an excellent defensive location.
For ordinary attackers, the steep hillsides with a width of fifty or sixty meters on both sides are definitely not a good choice for attack.
But for the slave warriors, they have no choice!
The fast-moving gnoll slave warriors rushed up in a swarm.
Among them, a gray figure occasionally flashed, which was paid special attention by the Catachan warriors.
Despite having new ranged weapons, the Catachan warriors chose to occupy advantageous terrain and wait for the slave warriors to attack.
The gap in combat power between them was too huge.
The scattered slave warriors could hardly survive a round in front of the Catachan warriors.
They finally rushed up the steep slope, and before they could even launch an attack, they would be cut in half by the ghost swords swung by the Catachan warriors.
Just when the ordinary gnoll slave warriors were chopped down by the Catachan warriors, the daggers coated with deadly toxins quietly stabbed at the back of the Catachan warriors.
Who knew that the Catachan warriors seemed to have eyes on their backs, and they turned sideways lightly along the force of the knife that chopped down the slave warriors.
Whoosh!
The deadly dagger stabbed into nothing.
The Catachan warriors calmly punched the empty air.
Bang!
A soft body was smashed out and slammed into the hillside.
Crack!
The sound of broken bones was crisp and pleasant.
Seeing the drow slave warrior struggling to stand up, the Catachan warrior rushed over with big strides.
Before she could react, a knife slashed her neck.
Bang!
The dagger that was stabbing upward fell down softly.
The drow slave warrior's body softened, and the Catachan warrior grabbed it and threw it backwards.
The drow slave warrior rolled in the air like a rag and fell into a large net bag.
The adventurers rushed over and tied up the drow slave warrior as quickly as possible. Looking at the hideous wounds on her body, they all cast shocked eyes at the Catachan warrior.
It was really cruel!
Everyone likes it!
The reason is simple. The more cruel the Catachan warrior is, the less pressure they have to capture and detain.
For adventurers, cooperating with Catachan warriors is simply too pleasant.
These powerful warriors are at least at the peak of the high level.
The Gulf Territory not only has uniform and excellent enchanted equipment, but also has extremely rich combat experience.
Many enemies that adventurers have never noticed will be easily discovered by Catachan warriors, and then killed or defeated with ease.
In the eyes of Catachan warriors, the outcome of most battles is doomed before they even begin.
As for capturing these drow slave warriors, it was because the Gulf Territory issued such a special mission.
Compared to other slave warriors who are large in number, have low qualifications, and need to spend a lot of effort to train.
Drow slave warriors have higher "value".
This value refers to the plasticity of these drow slave warriors, and their ability to judge the situation and provide many convenient values for Grandmother Sera.
Since we want to expand our territory in the underground world, we can't do without the presence of drow elves.
Boom!
When the huge steel puppets approached the city wall within 200 meters.
The magic artillery on the city wall began to roar wantonly.
They spewed out raging flames, providing destructive kinetic energy for the highly destructive shells.
The energy shield with strong defensive power shattered in a violent wave.
The steel puppet that kept rushing forward immediately fell into a passive situation.
Groups of fierce flames hit it fiercely, smashing one pit after another.
Even the iron golem with strong defense was defeated by a series of artillery attacks.
The first to be destroyed were its mechanical feet and relatively fragile joints, which were destroyed in the fierce collision of steel.
When the three feet in the front were all destroyed, the iron golem that lost its balance suddenly fell down.
Just at this time, the other three iron golems rushed over in a mighty manner.
Facing this extraordinary top-level construct, the Gulf Lord showed enough respect.
Hundreds of magic cannons fired at full power, and the roaring roar continued, echoing in the valley.
Watching the approaching slave warrior army, the drow elf commanders who were originally discussing happily looked at the hillside where the fierce battle was in full swing in disbelief.
Azshara is still holding on!
Mistress Sera is still fighting!
Even the invincible slave army seemed to bypass the location of Azshara's camp and continued to kill in the direction of Suramar City.
Looking at the battlefield with flames rising to the sky, watching the fallen steel puppets one by one, and stepping up the mobilization of steel golems, Liya couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although she didn't know the plans of Sera and the Gulf Lord, she was very grateful for their "contribution".
Not only did they withstand the multiple rounds of attacks from the slave warriors and firmly attract their attention, but they also played many trump cards of the Mind Flayer Army.
Whether it was the drow slave warriors who were quickly captured and controlled.
Or the steel puppets in front of them with amazing physique and strong defense.
Originally, they would bring huge trouble to the drow defense line in the sudden battle.
Now that the Mind Flayer Army has exposed its trump cards in advance, she can also make targeted arrangements based on its combat effectiveness and combat situation.
The only thing that shocked Liya was that the "mind control" that the drow elves were most troubled by when facing the Mind Flayer Army did not seem to work on Sera and the soldiers of the Gulf Lord.
Liya absolutely did not believe that all the people sent by the Gulf Lord could achieve the strength of being immune to the mind control of the Mind Flayer.
This means that the Gulf Territory has a way to deal with the mind control of the mind flayers.
Compared to the various weapons and combat soldiers displayed by the Gulf Territory.
For the drow elves threatened by the mind flayer empire.
This method of fighting against mind control is the most valuable asset.
After all, when it comes to controlling slaves to fight, the drow elves are always at a disadvantage when facing the mind flayers.
"What kind of ability is that? What kind of aura? Or a special potion?"
"Or is it related to a further god?"
Just as Liya was thinking hard, the surrounding drow commanders had begun to get nervous.
Although they had replenished their troops, rearranged their defenses, and received support from the Suramar army.
But when they faced the slave warriors who were pouring in like a tide, they were no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.
An indescribable terrible pressure made them want to escape.
But the feeling of being watched from behind forced every drow commander to work hard to arrange the defense line.
With the existence of the supervision team, most of the drow commanders will obey obediently before they encounter a fatal crisis.
When it comes to life and death, the drow commanders will survive at all costs.
Accompanied by the somewhat nervous drow scouts, they drew their bows and shot arrows at the slave warriors who began to attack the steep slope.
Various long-range attacks and spells also began to break out together.
The battle began to become increasingly fierce, and the drow elves gradually forgot about the Azshara camp in the distance that they were still thinking about.
They started fighting here, but the battle at the Azshara camp began to come to an end.
With the sixth iron golem, its legs were broken by the fierce artillery and it fell powerlessly on the gentle slope.
It could no longer move and lost the ability to continue attacking and fighting.
The completely desperate army of the mind flayers also began to ignore the existence of the Azshara camp.
The slave warriors who were ready to rush over also turned around decisively and left.
Even if the slave warriors were worthless, they could be thrown out at will to consume the enemy's cannon fodder.
The Mind Flayer army was also unwilling to waste their energy on the Azshara camp, which was like a hedgehog and difficult to bite.
More importantly, the Mind Flayer hiding in the dark also discovered the problem that Leah was thinking about just now.
Their invincible "mind control" lost its effect in the Azshara camp.
No matter if they were targeting adventurers with strong wills.
Or those familiar gray dwarves.
Or the seemingly insignificant goblins.
"Mind control" seemed to have no effect on them.
Not to mention, turning them into their slaves and driving them at will would cause chaos in the defense of the Azshara camp.
The mind flayers didn't know what method the Azshara camp used to prevent them from exerting their powerful abilities.
But they deeply understood the importance of the current war.
They must break through the city of Suramar as soon as possible!
As long as this goal is achieved, the nearly 30 nearby drow cities will become fish on the chopping board.
The entire rich area controlled by the drow will also open up to them.
Let them kill in and plunder and develop freely.
Unless the extremely greedy drow elves, who value money as their life, are willing to give up their homes and flee to other drow cities to become slaves or a delicious meal for others.
Unfortunately, most drow elves can't do it.
It is precisely because of this that the army of the mind flayers behaves so unscrupulously.
For thousands of years, the mind flayers, who have been secretly accumulating strength, have conducted very thorough research on the drow elves.
They know very well that for the greedy, selfish and scattered drow elves.
As long as the all-destroying attack does not fall on them.
They will not choose to escape, or work together to resist.
Maybe the drow elves will take advantage of the other drow elves fighting hard and stab them in the back very happily.
It is also because of this that such a small combat goal of the Azshara camp can be temporarily abandoned.
After achieving their combat objectives.
They can organize a larger slave army to crush this tenacious and difficult Azshara camp.
As for letting it go?
That's impossible!
The Mind Flayer army was also very "curious".
What method did the Azshara camp use to exempt the mind control from taking effect?
If this method can be copied.
Then they will destroy it at all costs and adjust the configuration and combat plan of the combat forces in time.
If this method cannot be copied.
Then they must eliminate future threats in the bud.
Even for the entire Mind Flayer Empire.
The vanguard army they sent out was just a pioneering team like scouts and cannon fodder composed of losers in the competition.
But for them, this war means everything.
They want to take advantage of this opportunity to complete a deadly counterattack and turn over.
Realizing that the Mind Flayer army had temporarily given up the attack, Sera, who had been calm, finally put down her hanging heart.
She watched the Mind Flayer army's actions of bypassing far away, and waved to the excited and cheering soldiers.
Everyone soon quieted down, and under her command, they quickly began to clean up the battlefield.
"All corpses must be burned. This is the most basic requirement for fighting in the underground world..."
"Why is there such a requirement? Could the corpses mutate?"
"Corpses will not mutate, but there are some things that can control and influence corpses, that's not necessarily the case."
"Ah? Isn't this the same as the Scarlet Moon?"
"There are such terrifying existences in the underground world, why have I never heard of them?"
"Alas, you don't know this. Remember the last time we came to the underground world to fight, we fought head-on with the drow army."
"The command ability of the drow army is very poor, just like what they are doing now, even their ability to organize defense is very average."
"Indeed, traps are not set, trenches are not dug, Long-range weapons are still using bows and arrows. "
"Even if they are all sharpshooters, how many arrows can they shoot in a battle?"
"When searching for corpses, you must collect all the spoils, so as not to burn them in a fire, and everyone will not have so much spoils."
"Hehe, how much can everyone earn from this battle?"
"I don't know about this, you will know when you look at the magic watch, and each piece of spoils will be counted and recorded accordingly."
"Is our battle over? It's not enough yet!"
"Don't worry, eat what already belongs to us first, and then think about other benefits..."
"..."
"Trishis listened to the exchanges and ridicule of the adventurers in the Bay Territory, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She carefully observed the soldiers on the city wall, paying special attention to the drow elves hiding in the dark and wearing cloaks.
She saw at a glance that these drow elves were taller, more powerful, stronger, and more threatening than all the drow elves she had ever seen.
However, Tracis did not see the familiar cruelty, greed and distortion in these drow elves.
"The spoils belong to everyone? Don't they belong to the mistress?"
"That's not right! How can slaves own wealth?"
"The drow elves are actually indifferent to wealth and the battlefield? Is what I saw an illusion?"
"Are slaves with wealth, slaves without shackles and chains, really still slaves?"
"Where did Azshara get so many supplies? It's impossible that they were all sent by teleportation arrays? That's too extravagant!"
The confused Cui Xisi never thought that her random guess happened to guess the truth of the matter.
The many supplies here, except for those carried by soldiers and adventurers and prepared in storage equipment, the rest were transported from the teleportation array.
The cost of setting up a large teleportation array for ultra-long distances and operating the teleportation array at full capacity.
It is as high as 8 million gold coins!
However, even though the expenditure is extremely huge, the Gulf Territory has not hesitated to move forward, and has also increased the intensity of teleportation.
More and more combatants and combat supplies have been transported to the excavated underground space.
Silver Fang, who is busy at a fast pace, carefully flips through the extremely complex underground passage map, and continues to direct the dragon-born dog-headed people who operate the magic excavator to work.
Behind them, the adventurers are snoring.
Before they were teleported, they had just finished a fierce battle with ghost monsters.
Although they didn't know where this area was, the generous rewards and hush money were enough to make them not think about any problems.
The soldiers behind them were reinforcing and militarizing the excavated passages at the fastest speed.
Not only should the excavation here be more spacious to accommodate more supplies and golem trains.
At the same time, they also need to build fortresses and strongholds for defensive operations to prevent possible battles here.
The golem train and tracks are being assembled and laid. This underground space, which is not hidden, will become another large-scale underground stronghold in the Gulf Territory.
The reason for choosing this place was that Sera and the Gulf Territory had long discussions and considerations.
There are three main reasons.
The first reason: close to Suramar.
Suramar is quite strong and rich in various magic props, rare metals, and magic materials.
The drow elves living here are not only very rich, but also have a relatively "gentle" style and style.
They will not kill slaves for no reason, just to please themselves and relax.
Even the most worthless kobold slaves can survive here tenaciously and hard.
Maybe they will die in the dark corner of a mine in the future, or become food for dangerous magical creatures.
However, they usually live longer as long as they still have benefits to explore.
Although this statement is not fair to some "experimental subjects".
But for other crazy drow elves, the drow elves here are the most "worthy" to communicate and contact.
The second reason: fighting often occurs here.
Yes, the huge and dangerous Suramar Valley has very rich mineral resources and magical resources.
The place where the drow elves and the Mind Flayer army fought is just a small and insignificant section of the Suramar Valley.
In order to seize these resources.
There will be battles between drow elves.
There will be battles between drow elves and barbarian tribes.
Drow elves will also fight dangerous magical creatures.
The adventurers of the Bay Territory like to participate in "battles" very much.
Not only can you win and take the spoils, but you can also improve your strength and digest the combat knowledge and skills you have learned.
Of course, this process is naturally dangerous, but it is worth the extremely generous rewards.
The risks here are acceptable to everyone.
The third reason: this will become the main battlefield in the future.
It won't be long before the Mind Flayer Empire will come to fight the awakened drow elves.
They are going to decide who can rule the underground world in this way.
What's interesting is.
Although the scale of this battle is huge, the intensity is not as high as imagined, and it will last for a very long time.
Matthew has been thinking that the battle between the Mind Flayer Empire and the drow elves is too deliberate and weird.
The struggle for interests between the two sides will indeed lead to the emergence of war.
But the two sides have been fighting for several years, but they are still willing to continue to invest in the fierce battle, which makes Matthew a little "incomprehensible".
What are they trying to do?
Do they all think that their population is too large?
Or is there a lasting hardship?
Matthew believes it is the latter...
But this does not prevent him. He uses the information about the war that will happen in the future to make advance arrangements.
If Sera's plan can succeed and successfully establish trade relations with major cities of the drow elves, he will be able to appear in this battle.
Maybe at that time, Sera can not only do business with the drow elves, but also with the mind flayers...
Selling weapons and munitions to both sides of the war can make more money!
As for now, digging out these passages also has the benefit of being able to play a role in time.
Click! Click! Click!
The high-speed rotating metal drill drilled a big hole in the hard rock and slowly tore the ground apart.
Tyrael stuck his head out, looked at the warehouse where supplies were scattered all over the ground, and shouted to everyone excitedly:
"Haha, we are finding the supplies left by the drow elves and slave warriors."
Excited Drizzt immediately came out, and released the silent barrier. He looked at the destroyed magic machines in the dilapidated warehouse with heartache, and couldn't help sighing:
"Alas, it's too late!"
Viconia laughed, and while vigilantly scanning the surroundings, she grabbed a handful of shining gold coins and said expectantly:
"Next time, when they haven't retreated yet, we can send you."
Unable to help coughing, Drizzt pretended that nothing had happened, and waved to the big guy who came out:
"Guys, move this place clean quickly, don't leave a piece of wood, a grain of food..."
Making money is the kingly way!
The last one to come out, Drizzt, looked at the busy big guy, and his head was buzzing.
"Is this how Azshara got so rich?"
"The Mind Flayer army is working hard to help Azshara?"
