Chapter 712: The beginning and end of the fall

This line of writing is crooked and choppy.

It was carved on the inner wall of the tunnel with a hard object, and it was written all the way to the wall more than ten meters long.

Although this line of writing is not pretty, Zong Shen can see the unyielding fighting spirit in it.

From this line of words, we can also see the tragic situation of the war that year.

The most important situation is that the characters are written in reverse, from the tunnel to the gate.

Right next to the underground gate, there was a skeleton sitting slumped on the edge, holding a half-broken one-handed sword in his hand. The words containing unyielding fighting spirit should have been left by the owner of the skeleton.

There are obvious signs of fragmentation on its left chest, and even the ribs are broken. This should be the fatal injury suffered by the owner of the skeleton.

This shows that Azshara's sewers have still fallen.

The elven warriors fought until the last moment. After being severely injured, they came to the gate in the opposite direction and wrote that paragraph.

No wonder Veresa had a complicated expression when she read this line. This situation would inevitably remind her of the pain she suffered thousands of years ago.

There were six Lion Guard knights walking in front of the descending tunnel, holding shields and swords.

Zoe Babbitt walked in the second queue happily, and beside her, the great adventurer ghost Jacques Picard also looked at the surroundings with serious eyes.

To be honest, it has never been here before!

According to the legend, Azshara's gate is protected by magic and is not an ordinary wall or barrier without any obstruction, so even the ghost body cannot pass through it.

During his lifetime, he had explored the ruins of other elven cities, but had never been to Azshara.

This is normal. Although the Great Adventurer is powerful, it is impossible to know all the secrets in the Endless Continent. Moreover, there are several people in the entire continent who have received the title of Great Adventurer, and he is only one of them.

Not even the legendary adventurer Tim Acklin could have explored all the ruins.

So this time's exploration of the Azshara sewers also aroused Jacques Picard's interest.

Not to mention the fledgling Zoe.

Everything in front of me is much more exciting than the adventure stories described in the book!

She is now extremely grateful for her decision. Following Zong Shen is indeed a good choice!

Zong Shen and Vereesa, who were walking in the third queue, were considered the commanders of the team.

Behind them are the Master team and the Ranger team.

Finally, the remaining six lion garrison knights walked behind.

When necessary, Zong Shen can also act as a shield warrior and shoulder the responsibility of protecting his subordinates.

As a hard-core lord with powerful muscles, he can fight better and resist more attacks than the soldiers under his command.

So far, no opponent has been able to push him to the point of death.

The advantage of information makes it easy for him to avoid contacting those invincible opponents as much as possible.

It can also effectively evaluate the fighting form and its advantages and disadvantages, and help him win at the minimum cost.

After a lot of battles, Zong Shen has also grown up and has quite a lot of combat experience. He has various life-saving means emerging one after another, and he has never been triggered once before.

In just two or three minutes, the frontline Lion Guard knights walked out of the tunnel.

This is a small room with several skeletons lying on the ground.

Zong Shen walked up with a magic flashlight and knelt down to observe.

There are seven skeletons in total. The standard armor on them has decayed. Their military level should not exceed the fourth level.

The cause of death was the same. The neck was broken by something unknown.

The force was very strong and the technique was very rough. There were obvious fractures and cracks on the cervical spine bones.

The most miserable corpse had its head ripped off.

There is a light source underground, connected through a rune formation, but it is not too bright, so additional lighting is needed to ensure that you do not miss any details.

These bones were all jade, with an amber-yellow surface, quite similar to the elf bones that Zong Shen had dug out from under his crooked neck.

That is to say, from the skeleton's backpack, Zong Shen got the [Moon Well] and the [Night Huntress Recruitment Scroll], and that's how he met Luna.

There were some traces of battle at the scene, and Zong Shen picked up some arrows.

The shafts of these arrows had rotted away, leaving only the arrowheads engraved with green leaf veins, and it was found that the front ends had been completely flattened...

This situation illustrates one point, that is, the target of this arrow has super strong physical defense capabilities, making the arrow not only unable to break through the defense, but also directly flattened by the impact.

Broken kite-shaped shields and one-handed swords were scattered on the ground, and they were in an outrageous state of fragmentation.

"What kind of enemies did these ancient elven warriors encounter?"

(The elves underestimated the penetrating power of demons. In addition to the weird and terrifying blood-burning power, the blood-burning demons were also good at beguiling people's hearts.

The mountain bunker was built half a year after going underground, and the resistance camp in the mine was built nine and a half months later. Azshara's soldiers and civilians who went underground to fight were therefore divided into three.

At that time, the alliance's reinforcements had arrived and established a temporary territory on the northern hilltop. It was also connected to the mountain bunker and the mine camp. The demons piled up the corpses and created the bone burial ground and the bone bunker. The purpose was not only to prevent the rebels In addition to taking root and advancing the Ancient War Tree, there is also the task of dividing the three underground camps: Azshara Sewer, Azshara Mountain Bunker, and Mine Resistance Camp.

In fact, the demons succeeded. A ravine crawled out of the Boneyard to isolate the three places, making the sewer an isolated island.

Although the heroic elven warriors blocked the attempts of demons to pour in through the gap in the sewer, and even re-reinforced and blocked the gap, it was still to no avail.

The blood-burning demons penetrated into the elven army through the succubus demons and faceless demons, and started a civil war.

But before the demons had time to reap the fruits of victory, the great defeat came)

Zong Shen frowned slightly. After reading this guide note, he already understood the whole story of the fall of Azshara's sewers.

He had thought before that the bone burial ground with a width of more than ten kilometers and a length of one or two hundred kilometers was definitely not that simple!

Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The Boneyard is not only the bunker station established by the Burning Blood Demon, but also the Azshara Sewers, Azshara Mountain Bunker, Azshara Mine Resistance Camp, and Azshara Northern Mountain Forest Resistance Camp. The method of cutting these parts apart!

These are the situations that Zong Shen already knew, and those camps were all in ruins.

Among them, the one with the best preparation, the strongest defense capabilities, and the greatest resistance is the Azshara Sewer.

Because several other camps were renovated after the war, only this one was remodeled before the war in accordance with the warnings of the Moon God, and its sturdiness is incomparable.

Although in the end, before the blood-burning demon had time to set foot here, a mysterious ruin came.

But strictly speaking, Azshara's sewers can be considered fallen.

Civil war is the main reason!

This place is located underground, and it is difficult to see sunlight. It is inevitable that you will not feel depressed after staying here for a long time.

The so-called "Charming Demon" and "Devilless Face" should have the ability to confuse people's hearts and imitate them.

As long as it penetrates long enough and can incite one-third of the elven warriors and senior officials in Azshara's sewers, it will be enough to start a civil war that sweeps the entire station.

Not all warriors have high-spirited fighting spirit, but all intelligent creatures will have various thoughts, let alone being infiltrated, provoked, replaced, and bewitched...

Zong Shen stood up and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The subjects under the lord have loyalty to the end, but what if one day the loyalty setting disappears?

Therefore, he had to take precautions and think about how to improve the cohesion of the territory and the spiritual awareness of the people in the territory.

So as not to fall into a passive situation after the guarantee setting of loyalty disappears.

In addition, you have to guard against tricks like infiltration and bewitchment!

Zong Shen looked at the skeletons of these Elf warriors on the ground and couldn't help but think of the future of the territory.

"Vereesa, what do you think?"

He turned to look at Vereesa with a solemn expression.

He already knew the whole story of the fall here through the strategy module, but Vereesa should also have some opinions.

"It's the Succubus Demon, the Faceless Demon, the Sinking Demon, the Evil Fallen Demon, the Shadow Demon..."

"These demons have the ability to bewitch people and disguise themselves."

"I found an arrow belonging to the ranger, the huntress's moon blade, and the night tree demon's poisonous spear on one of the corpses..."

Vereesa also came to the conclusion that a civil war occurred here.

Obviously, this is not the first time that the Burning Blood Demon has used penetration and provocation.

Zong Shen nodded, refined the information in the strategy tips, and told Vereesa.

The scope of the Silver Covenant's activities is not here, so it's normal that Vereesa doesn't know about some things.

After completing the details, both of them had a general understanding of the cause of Azshara's fall.

Vereesa had all the corpses gathered together, poured [fire oil (green)] on them, and then Favid shot a fireball to ignite the pile of bones.

"My compatriots, may you return to the embrace of the World Tree and the Well of Eternity!"

"The suffering will end eventually, rest in peace!"

Vereesa put one hand on her chest, lowered her head and closed her eyes and whispered.

Zong Shen and other soldiers also stood silently in front of the burning pile of bones.

At this moment, everyone felt the same.

As a warrior, you may, at a certain moment, sacrifice your life for the territory and beliefs you protect.

Even someone from Zong felt emotional, is death terrible?

It's actually not scary at all.

Death is an eternal sleep with no end date, so why grovel?

After incineration of the bones, everyone left the room. Outside was a wide circular passage.

The entire passage is hundreds of meters long, with compartments every five or six meters on both sides.

In this case, you have to rely on the strategy module to improve exploration efficiency.

It would be too time-consuming to search from one place to another.

Because the bones were burned, the sewers were filled with the smell of smoke.

However, there are obviously ventilation and exhaust channels here, so it is not choking.

This is why Zong Shen and Vereesa decided to cremate these corpses on the spot.

When they entered the ground gate, they discovered that there was air circulation inside.

This is also a step that must be confirmed after entering any confined space or cave.

The passage in front of me is a circle with a height of more than ten meters. It looks like a pipeline.

In fact, this passage is indeed a reconstructed part of the main pipeline of Azshara's sewer.

The damage to this section was not serious, and the wall was still intact, with runes and magic patterns carved on it, and mithril powder smeared on it as a pipeline.

There was no trace of underground moisture, nor any vegetation.

This shows that the ventilation system of Azshara's sewer is relatively independent and should have several layers of protection.

To be honest, this place is really suitable as a secret base.

The blood-burning demons back then couldn't get in, let alone the lords.

At least it will be safe here for a few years.

The premise is that Zong Shen thoroughly cleans this place and checks and fills in any loopholes.

There are also formations already operating in the sewers of Azshara, including ventilation, lighting and other functions that need further repairs.

It can be said that it does not take much effort and resources to transform this place into an excellent underground "secret base".

Everyone stood in the passage, and Zong Shen asked the strategy module in his mind.

"Please guide me to the places worth exploring and the dangerous places here!"

(Please circle the required location for you. The gold circle marks the place worth exploring, and the red circle marks the dangerous place)

For the sake of safety, Zong Shen specially asked the strategy module to mark dangerous places.

He originally thought that there would be no danger in a ruin like this that had been covered in dust for tens of thousands of years. In fact, it was quite the opposite. In an instant, hundreds of gold circle marks appeared in front of his field of vision, as well as more than twenty or thirty red circle marks. !

Most of the markers are not on this passage and are scattered elsewhere.

The area of ​​Azshara's sewers is no smaller than that of the city.

The range within the field of vision is at least ten kilometers in radius!

At best, it's only one-third to one-quarter of the entire area. It's not the entire range of Azshara's sewer. The other areas should be blocked.

After all, after so many years, even the most indestructible fortresses and fortifications will show signs of decay. Zong Shen must find a way to enter those blockades through other underground gates.

The complete Azshara sewer is a very large ruins, and this is without the addition of mines, mountain bunkers, and northern mountain camps!

According to the marked area, Zong Shen felt that it would be good if he could finish exploring it tonight!

As long as you explore this Azshara sewer, you will definitely be able to harvest a lot of good things. As for other areas, we can only wait until later!

After exploring the ruins of Azshara and opening the treasure house of Azshara, Zong Shen is equivalent to inheriting the remains of the giant elven city. Even after ten thousand years of decay, what is left is still enough for him to grow quickly. .

After the red and gold marks appeared, Zong Shen understood the situation of the sewer ruins at a glance.

Zong Shen took Kaginia, Zoe, Vereesa, and the ghost Jacques Picard to collect the valuable items left behind.

Others were responsible for collecting and incinerating the corpses!
