Chapter 514 The first battle is the decisive battle

When they had previous contact, Raymond felt that Gavin was a very ambitious person, but he did not expect that he was so ambitious. He not only wanted to open up a migration path, but also wanted to leave his own city along the way. .

Regarding this matter, Raymond's mood was even more complicated than before when Gavin took away a large amount of potential tax revenue from Ritavon.

Because for Ritavin, there are not only advantages but also disadvantages.

The advantage is that with such a city in front, they are completely in a safe inland, and they no longer need to fight to the death with the monster tribes south of the Giant Plains.

At the same time, they also completely revitalized the northern section of the migration route. If there was no city to guard it, even if they temporarily opened up the Giant Plains, it would not be long before the place would be filled with monsters again, and there would be no way to establish a trade route.

The disadvantage is that this city will share the profits of Boritawen. If there is no need to cross the dangerous road of Snowflake Mountain Road, most merchants will not need to supply or repair weapons here, and can only serve as a transfer station like other cities.

This will also give rise to new businesses. For example, this new city will definitely need endless weapons and equipment, which can offset certain losses.

The key is that they will be surrounded by two non-Amn cities, which will be more uncomfortable.

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you say that he has a territory of kobolds? These must be the selected elites." The frost giant took a sip and said with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, "These are all small scenes. You have never seen the scene of our giants cooperating in construction,

Storm giants can control thunder, lightning, wind and rain to irrigate our huge farms.

The cloud giants control the Cloud Castle and send our best warriors to the top of the enemy's heads, which is us, the frost giants.

Fire giants are the best blacksmiths and create the most gorgeous armor.

Stone giants are the best masons and build the most magnificent and luxurious palaces in the world.

Hill giants are the best miners..."

"Stop, stop, stop, old man, are you drunk? Are you talking about the legend of your giants? Or is it something in a dream?" Raymond stopped hurriedly, "The last empire of giants, 30,000 years ago It has already perished, let alone bringing the six giants together to build an empire. Even if they gather together now, it is not an easy task. "

"Yes, this is already a distant past. The era of giants has become history. This world has become the world of you little people." The frost giant raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, mocking himself and said, "Not just now. My memory is the ancient memory of this land, all inspired by the construction scene below, and it is just expressed through my mouth. "

"We are now at best the majority of this world. There is still a long way to go before we can become the masters of this world." Raymond pointed to the group of monsters below and launched the first wave of attacks. " They are still the ones who dominate the world now. It takes us years, decades, or even hundreds of years to build a city, but they destroy a city in a matter of days.”

"Tsk." After just a glance, the frost giant lost interest and sneered, "Guys who are only tall but not brainy, rushing forward stupidly in such a narrow terrain, aren't they serving as targets for the enemy? They are If I can get to the front of the car line, I lose."

"To look at things, you have to look at the overall situation, not just a little bit. These are cannon fodder that are destined to die, used to test the enemy's strength." Raymond pointed at the monsters in twos and threes around him and said, "These trolls are a bit interesting, and they actually know how to use detours. Tactics, they were looking for a place to go in from the side, but unfortunately they arrived a step too late. All the good ones had been destroyed, and all that was left were the flesh and blood mills left behind consciously. Attacking from there would only leave a large number of corpses. It's hard to see effective results.

What the hell? what is that? Demonic blood sacrifice! The demonic blood sacrifice of the demon lord Demogorgon.

These trolls are followers of the two-headed baboon. From the beginning, they were not prepared to use normal means, but used these monsters as sacrifices to summon the demon army. We underestimated these trolls. "

The following war situation was not only beyond Raymond's expectations, but also beyond Gavin's expectations.

The trolls had just arrived, and without even taking a breath, they drove the monster vassals, rushed into the Blood Gorge, and launched an attack on the migrating army.

They only regarded it as the first round of tentative attack by the trolls, to test the strength of the migrating army, and then set up camp to discuss countermeasures. Is it to attack the Blood Gorge? Or detour from the mountains on both sides?

The small group of scouts they sent seemed to be preparing for this.

No matter what, they had no intention of withdrawing those monster vassals. On the contrary, fifteen troll battle groups formed a huge encirclement behind those monster vassals and pressed up, driving them all into the Blood Gorge.

At the same time, a huge mobile altar was pushed out from the two-headed troll battle group.

This altar was made entirely of bloody skeletons, all of which were the bones of noble trolls. Two noble troll heads were inserted at the top. The non-dead ones kept screaming in anger.

They were used as sacrifices to the demon lord Demogorgon, who was known as the King of the Abyss, and became a passage to the abyss. Even the powerful regeneration ability could not take effect on them.

After this demon altar was pushed to the entrance of the Blood Gorge, it took root directly here.

Countless black mists screaming in pain and despair surged out from the depths of the Blood Gorge and were swallowed up by this evil altar.

And those monster servants who were hesitant to move forward were killed by the trolls unceremoniously, stuffing them into their mouths secretly, and dragging them towards the demon altar.

Soon the demon altar was overwhelmed by a large number of corpses, and a blood mist spread around it. Countless more terrifying howls came from the depths of the blood mist, as if it had been connected to another world. .

This is also true.

The trolls of the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom used the flesh and blood souls of the monster servants as sacrifices, directly opening a demon curtain leading to the territory of the demon prince Demogorgon. Countless hungry abyss demons were tempted by blood and souls. I can’t wait to rush to the material plane and enjoy a rare feast.

The Coward Demon, the Quaser Demon, the Crazy Fighter Demon, the Flo Demon...

Countless demons seemed to be endless, pouring out from it and rushing towards the car formation of the migrating army along the Blood Gorge.

The overwhelming rain of arrows pinned countless demons directly to death on the charging road.

Those death demons exploded on the spot, turning into streaks of blood mist, which merged with the demon curtain formed by the demon altar, making it thicker, covering a wider area, and causing more demons to emerge from it.

This creates a vicious cycle.

The more demons the migrating army kills, the more solid the demon curtain becomes and the wider it covers.

Once the number of demons who die here exceeds a certain limit, this demon curtain may solidify and form an abyss gate that leads directly to the abyss.

As for killing all the demons?

That's a fool's dream.

In the multiverse, there are countless material planes, but there is only one abyss and hell, where all sinful souls will turn into demons.

Demogorgon is also known as the most powerful demon lord in the abyss. He is respected as the demon prince or king of the abyss. He has an army of millions of demons.

They can also kill the migrating army.

What is coming now is just demon cannon fodder for them to kill and strengthen the demon curtain. The real high-level demons have not yet been dispatched. Not to mention those legendary demons, even those extraordinary demons, once they start to appear in small groups , is also a disaster for the migrating army.

After discovering that those trolls were not playing their cards according to common sense, several giants of the migration army immediately gathered together and held an emergency meeting.

"Lord, I underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect that these trolls turned out to be devil believers. They sent us into a desperate situation. Please forgive me." Veranika, the main planner of this plan, immediately reported to Gavin apologized.

She calculated the worldly power of these trolls, but forgot to consider their beliefs.

Undoubtedly a huge mistake.

The real existence of true gods, devils and demons makes wars in the material plane never two-dimensional, but three-dimensional.

Not only may the true God intervene, but demons and demons may also be summoned.

"This is an irresistible sudden factor. It is not a crime of conspiracy or war." Gavin waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to discuss who is at fault. The most important thing is to find the key to breaking the situation."

"The core of this demon summoning tactic is the demon altar. As long as it is destroyed, the anchor point locked here by the abyss will no longer be there, and those dead demons will no longer be transformed into the power of demon summoning." It was Anna who spoke. The Ilmat they serve is known as one of the Three Holy Gods, and their followers often fight on the front line to save souls from those demons and demons.

"Those trolls obviously know this too. Judging from the location where they placed the demon altar and the distribution of the troll battle groups, they are just waiting for us to send our elites over to eat them up." Veranika was not convinced because of one incident. He lost confidence due to the defeat, but actively made suggestions and said, "But we have to fight, this is a conspiracy, we can only fight head-on."

But we can avoid their sharp edges, go around the mountains on both sides of the Blood Gorge, and land directly near the Demon Altar. At that time, we will only need to face two or three troll battle groups. I believe that with the help of the Goliath Battle Group and A warband of hobgoblin giants can hold them back and quickly destroy the demon altar. "

"There is no need to go to such trouble." Zalanda raised the art of war in his hand and said, "I have the ability to mobilize troops given by Ms. Strategy. I can teleport some of the elites directly to the vicinity of the devil altar. We will face it immediately. , there should be one or two troll battle groups. After entering, I will directly activate the revenge storm and strong acid rain, which should be able to effectively hold off other troll battle groups and win us a minute or two, but this ability can only be used Once, so whether you succeed or not, you can only rely on yourself."

"If this is the case, things will be much simpler." Veranika couldn't help but take a deep look at Zalanda. Even though she was also a follower of Ms. Strategy, she didn't know the other party's specific abilities, let alone the way of war. Ability, "Now is the first and decisive battle. We must bring all our forces up, including the three thousand cavalry outside.

Regardless of whether they succeed or not, the elite who are alone in the attack should not rush back, but rush outward. Although the trolls are powerful, they are relatively small in number, making it easier to rush out. "

"Indeed."

"This is the most reasonable arrangement."

Everyone recognized this tactic.

Gavin glanced at everyone one by one and said: "What remains is the issue of selection. Among them, the Goliath Chapter and the Hobgoblin Giant Chapter must go to battle. I wonder if Ms. Carissa and General Bloodclaw have any opinions?"

Those who penetrate deeply into the enemy's army must dispatch extraordinary battle groups. Ordinary soldiers will die if they go in.

Ordinary trolls have seven or eight natural life dice, which is only one step away from being extraordinary. Not to mention the more powerful noble trolls, who are extraordinary beings with more than ten life dice. Coupled with the terrifying size, ordinary soldiers are definitely One claw at a time.

Even for the Goliath Chapter and the Hobgoblin Giant Chapter, this is an extremely dangerous mission. Regardless of success or failure, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

"If we are not allowed to fight on this kind of mission, our trip will be meaningless." Carissa's eyes were burning with flames of war, "The mountain warriors are willing to go."

"We are willing to fight for the Lord." Blood Claw also expressed his position without hesitation, "I just don't know how many people the Lord of Zalanda can bring over? Do you need me to draw elites from the infantry regiment?"

Any transmission has limitations.

The Goliath Chapter and the Hobgoblin Titan Chapter combined totaled more than 150 people, which was not a small number for teleportation, especially since the Hobgoblin Titan was now considered to be large in size.

Before Zalanda could open his mouth, Gavin answered on his behalf: "There should be no problem in sending these two battle groups in. As for the matter of drawing elites from the infantry legion, there is no need. Before the demon altar is destroyed, the summons of the demon army will not be possible." It will stop, and the defensive pressure here will still be great. We must ensure that those demons cannot break through the defense line. Once the raid fails, we will try to attack with the cavalry to completely defeat those troll battle groups, and then go back to destroy the demon altar. "

"I'm willing to go on this mission."

"I'm also willing to go."

General Copperfield and Veranika asked for orders at the same time.

"This is a three-front coordinated operation. We cannot concentrate everyone on the front line." Gavin shook his head and refused, "General Copperfield, your mission is here. Make arrangements to assist those immigrants so that they can withstand the pressure and delay An army of demons.

Chief of Staff Veranika, you ride Luna out and be responsible for commanding the three cavalry so that they can attack at the right time. "

"This task should be given to the Lord..." Veranika said hurriedly.

"No need to argue anymore. On the assault battlefield, I have an advantage that you don't have. Now start checking the time. In half an hour, we will launch a counterattack on time. You must ensure that the front line you are responsible for keeps up." Wen took out a pocket watch from his arms and began to check the time with the other generals.

There are clocks in Faerun, especially the clocks in Neverwinter that are famous all over the world. There are beautiful and unique floor water clocks, huge church bells hanging on churches, and small watches and pocket watches.

However, this is an emerging industry, and its popularity is not very wide. Most places still follow the lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at dawn.

Gavin, who was accustomed to grasping precise time in real time, not only bought a pocket watch for himself, but also equipped one for his senior generals.

Although this thing is expensive, it cannot be compared with magic items - the price of a pocket watch is equivalent to that of a heavy war horse.

On the battlefield where time is a priority, they are indeed very useful when working together, and the effect they exert is far beyond what a heavy war horse can match.

After setting the time, Veranika immediately took off on the half-moon horse.

As soon as she took action, a dozen strange-looking demons flapped their wings and flew out of the blood mist, trying to stop them.

These demons have the same body as flies, but they have wings like dragonflies and stinging beaks like mosquitoes. No one doubts its power. If it is allowed to poke, it will definitely not be as simple as a big hole, but very likely Tear people in half.

Because these demons have a huge size that is not inferior to trolls, their wings vibrate at high speeds, and they emit a terrifying and headache-inducing buzz, even from a long distance. If they get close, it will definitely be a disaster.

Their buzzing is definitely a magical effect, just like a cluster of mind-disturbing effects, but it is more perverted than mind-disturbing, and can make people with poor physical condition fall directly into coma.

This is a kind of extraordinary demon Kass, named after the sound it makes when flying. It is an extraordinary air force among demons and is good at aerial combat.

Seeing them, the leaders of the migrating army couldn't help but darken their faces.

Not only because of their difficulty, but also because this is a sign, which means that the Demon Curtain has become strong enough to accommodate those extraordinary demons who have begun to pass through in groups.

This speed is too fast. If it continues at this speed, it won't be long before we have to face terrifying legendary demons such as the Balor Fire Demon and the Six-Armed Snake Demon.

Just one or two demons like that can have a devastating impact on the entire battlefield - these legendary demons not only possess powerful personal combat capabilities, but also usually have the ability to teleport over short distances. They appear and disappear, treating their joint defense as nothing. , will appear directly in their core hinterland.

"We can't wait for those cavalrymen. We just considered the pressure from the trolls, but forgot the development speed of the demon altar. The longer the time goes, the higher-level demons will be sent from the demon altar, and the greater the resistance to destruction will be. After we gather here, we will immediately launch a counterattack. After Veronica sees the revenge storm, she should know what to do." Gavin adjusted the battle plan immediately. They were afraid that they could not wait for half an hour.
