Chapter 655 Chapter six hundred and fourteenth panic

Above the sky, Du Wei blocked the direction of going south by himself. In the northern sky, several black dragons roared towards them, but Du Wei roared at them head-on.The strong dragon prestige immediately made these black dragon figures stop suddenly. Afterwards, a few black dragons floated far away in the air, and those pairs of eyes looked at the figure in front of them in astonishment... They could clearly feel the aura of the dragon clan coming from Du Wei, which was the purest and most majestic dragon aura, and it was far stronger than that from their own side!The purity of the dragon qi, I am afraid that even the royal golden dragon among the dragon clan is no more than that.

There was an ancient and noble aura faintly in this dragon prestige, which made these chasing black dragons feel at a loss.It has been a long time since they have felt such an imposing kind. After being yelled so suddenly by Du Wei, these black dragons immediately fell into a daze, and some even stared at Du Wei, as if they didn't know what to do. similar?Could this breath be the golden dragon?But... he is obviously a human being.Is it really a golden dragon? Except for the golden dragon clan, there is absolutely no way to have such a pure and noble dragon spirit!Several black dragons, under Du Wei's strong oppression, even lowered their heads involuntarily above the sky.This is the level difference among the dragon clan, and it is also deeply engraved in the awe of the royal clan in the soul of every dragon clan.

Du Wei stood proudly on top of the griffin. He held the griffin's neck tightly with one hand, and kept stroking gently to comfort the mount.Because of the powerful dragon's power that he emitted, the black griffin under his crotch also felt fear and uneasiness, as if shrinking his head, almost falling down. With the other hand, Du Wei held up the spear in his hand—this shape imitated the spear of "Longchinus", just like a strangely long cross spear, the spear was violently stirred in his hand, and the spear Immediately, a whirlpool-like storm swept out from the tip, and with a violent momentum, it immediately swept towards the rear fiercely.

A black dragon flying in the front immediately bumped into it head-on, as if hitting an iron wall, and was immediately hit by the vortex storm swept out by the spear point, and flew back on the spot! With a spear in one hand, Du Wei stared coldly at the black dragons who seemed to be at a loss in the distance, took a deep breath, raised his voice, and immediately revealed a series of strange things in his mouth. The difficult pronunciation, including some nasal turning tremolo, is the standard dragon language! "Go back! Low-level black dragon, don't you dare to challenge the authority of the noble royal family!!"

With a shout, those black dragons began to retreat timidly, but because of the strict order of the elves, they did not dare to retreat directly, but they were also afraid of the dragon power emanating from Du Wei, so they could only shrink their heads one by one, staring at each other. Looking at Du Wei... Several black dragons began to talk in a low voice: "Are they really members of the royal family?" "Impossible... There are no more golden dragons in this world..." "But this guy..." "If it is really a golden dragon, our black dragon cannot be the opponent of the golden dragon."

After arguing for a while, a black dragon suddenly said, "Or... let's go with it now! I don't want to stay here and be enslaved by elves." This suggestion immediately silenced the other black dragons, and it seemed that everyone was a little tempted. "But...our people are still in the hands of the elves, and there are still a few young dragons..." A black dragon shook his head: "If we don't serve the elves, once the elf king gets angry, then...don't forget, that terrible Guy, even the Golden Dragon is no match for it." "Then, can we just kill this guy in front of us? It's a golden dragon..."

"But... why does it look like a human?" After some debate, these black dragons didn't seem to know what to do. Originally, among the dragon clan, black dragons were a relatively low-level clan, and they were not good at wisdom. After discussing for a while, one dragon finally ran away He came out, stretched his neck, and shouted in a humming voice to Du Wei in the distance: "My lord, if you are really a dragon, please reveal your true body! We don't want to be enemies of the golden dragon!" , but don’t want to be deceived.” "Hmph." Du Wei sneered, he didn't cry when he saw the Yellow River.

Du Wei can't do it by revealing the dragon's body, but... He laughed a few times, and simply stood up on the back of the griffin. At this moment, he held the spear horizontally in one hand, and then lowered his brows, and slowly sang a series of simple and weird notes in his mouth! And when this string of notes came out of Du Wei's mouth, those black dragons really changed color! After an exclamation, the two black dragons at the front shrank quickly, and rushed to the back quickly. "Dragon language magic! It is really a golden dragon! If it is a human being, it is impossible to speak dragon language magic!"

With a bang, several black dragons were terrified, turned their heads one after another, and fled desperately towards the fortress.And the last black dragon, who was a little older, still looked at Du Wei hesitantly from a distance. His body was in mid-air, but he made a posture of prostrating and saluting, and a humming voice came over: "Your Excellency, the noble golden dragon! We dare not be your enemy. We are just coerced by the evil elves? We really didn't expect that there are golden dragons in this world. If possible, please save us .It’s just that the evil elf is too powerful. Our patriarch was subdued by it... So, I implore you to come and save our whole clan!”

After speaking, it bowed its head far away and saluted, then turned around and flew away quickly. Du Wei recited a series of dragon language magic spells halfway, seeing the opponent recede, so he shut up - if he continued to recite, the fox's tail would be exposed.Although he can speak dragon language with the help of the tears crystal pendant, he can't use the magic of dragon language now. Fortunately, it seems that the fear of the royal family has formed the habit of the dragons. After these dragons were scared away, Du Wei was relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "No wonder the fort fell suddenly. That guy Luoxue sent all the dragons to be the vanguard."

... When Du Wei's group of griffin knights set fire to it, they found several barrels of kerosene in a warehouse. all over. After igniting the kerosene, it is difficult to extinguish the fire.Driven by the leader's strict order, the orcs could only find various rakes or brooms nearby to put out the fire. The most hateful thing was that during the fierce battle, several wells near the warehouse were blocked, and the orcs had to go back and forth from Go to the aqueduct dock in the east of the fortress to fetch water. The raging fire caused many orcs who put out the fire to be burned, and the fur of many orcs was scorched by the flames. Several elder mages of the elves have rushed back and tried to cast water magic, but after pouring kerosene into the fire, the effect of water magic was also limited.Adding water to the oil will even make the fire more ferocious. In desperation, the leader of the orcs issued a death order, and batches of death squads rushed up. The leader of the orcs even ran to a place about two hundred steps in front of the warehouse. A trace was drawn on the ground, and he yelled frantically: "Send the order, if the fire continues to spread to this line, then all the death squads fighting the fire will have their heads cut off!" Those death squads were originally criminals among the orcs. When they were attacking the city, the role of these death squads was to be responsible for the first wave of climbing the city wall or filling the trenches with the highest death rate.But this time when attacking the fortress, due to the surprise attack of the Dragon Clan, the Death Squad suffered few casualties.Unexpectedly, many people died in this fire. The leader of the orcs even sent the supervisor team up. There was a raging fire in front of them, but behind them were the shining blades in the hands of the supervising team. These orc death squads could only grit their teeth and close their eyes, and burrowed into the fire desperately. "What? Slytherin?" When Luo Xue heard the news and rushed back to the city, the fire in the warehouse had been brought under control.After hearing the report, it was startled at first, but then asked a few black dragons who had fled back. Finally, Luoxue looked at the fierce fire ahead and the warehouse full of smoke, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on its face. "Hehe, it looks like that old friend of mine is here." Luoxue twitched the corners of her mouth and murmured in a low voice: "Duke Tulip, Du Wei! You have created quite a few surprises again! Slater Lin, have you even produced this legendary unit...it's really annoying." After finishing speaking, Luoxue actually stopped looking at the warehouse in front of which was fighting the fire. She turned around and was about to leave the city with a group of elf guards around her. At this time, the leader of the orc army on the eastern front ran over.This white rhinoceros is Rock's confidant. After coming to see Luoxue, he said respectfully and fearfully, "Elf King, this fire is too big. Please send more mages from the clan to help put out the fire." Luoxue glanced at the orc leader in front of him. The white rhinoceros hide on his body had been smoked the color of smoke, the hair on his head was scorched, his face was black and gray, and he looked quite embarrassed. "No need." Luoxue glanced at the warehouse: "With such a big fire, the food can't be rescued. Besides, now I'm worried that the enemy will counterattack at any time, I can't waste the strength of the mages in vain." "But, those grains..." the orc leader was a little reluctant. "We don't lack food now." Luoxue shook his head: "The farmland behind will be harvested in two months. What we need is more iron, whether it is the armor and weapons of the soldiers, or the hoes needed for working in the farmland And shovels. There are a lot of armor and weapons left by humans in this warehouse. Those irons will not be easily burned anyway. Moreover, we have to go back to the furnace for refining. Let your people hurry up and burn the fire in the weapon warehouse. Extinguish it, as for other warehouses, as long as you control the fire and don't spread it... don't waste the lives of your soldiers in vain." The orc leader watched Luoxue leave after saying these words, and couldn't help being stunned. "Be careful, with such a big fire, the thick smoke can be seen from more than ten miles away. Be careful that the human army takes the opportunity to counterattack." Luoxue then gave an order to the leader of the elf warriors beside him, and unexpectedly left the fort calmly. He walked directly onto the city wall, and then looked far to the south... Du Wei, are you here?Well...we are finally going to fight again! ... Du Wei rushed all the way back to a small city about 400 miles south of the fortress: Yajin. Yajin City was originally a small city in the south of the eastern fortress. After some expansion before the war, the size of the city was expanded according to the standards of the second-class city of the empire, including the reserve warehouse and the height and width of the city wall. . Since the war, the city south of the defense line has become a transit hub for transporting supplies from the rear of the empire to the front line.There are nearly 20,000 troops stationed in the city—but most of them are logistical personnel. After the war started, more than half of the residents in the city had already migrated away in order to avoid the flames of war.The remaining half are unwilling to leave their hometown.When Du Wei came to Yajin City, he met his "Archangel" on the road, and when he came to Yajin City, he found that there was a tense atmosphere here. The fortress on the front line fell last night, and at dawn, some cavalry who had fled from the previous army finally fled here.Seeing those defeated frontline soldiers fleeing in embarrassment without even complete armor immediately brought great shock to the city. The garrison commander in charge of defending Yajin City immediately ordered the gates to be closed and began a first-level battle preparation.But despite this, the news of the collapse of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the frontline fortress still made the morale of Yajin City low. Both the soldiers and the generals were panicked. In the fortress on the front line, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, and the news brought by the defeated army who fled back said that the front line was defeated very badly. It seemed that even the commander of the front line, General Dominguez, could not escape! People are panicking, but there are still several corpses hanging outside the city wall. It is said that the garrison commander of Yajin City chopped down a few defeated soldiers who spread the news of the defeat indiscriminately in order to stabilize the army. When Du Wei arrived, the city was on alert.Fortunately, the flag was hoisted on Du Wei's battleship - otherwise, these human soldiers who had never seen a flying battleship, probably thought that those monster races had killed them. When Du Wei's tulip flag came to the city, it finally gave this panicked city a shot in the arm! The name of Duke Tulip is too resounding and prestigious, and it can also bring some sense of security to people. There had been an order before that the barracks and the commander's mansion had been prepared in order to welcome Du Wei's northward reinforcements, and Du Wei's warship landed in the mansion.The soldiers and civilians in the city were naturally extremely surprised by this battleship, but when they learned that there were hundreds of magicians in this flying battleship—this news was released on purpose by Du Wei, everyone in the city immediately felt relieved ! This is just great!Hundreds of magicians!With so many magicians sitting in town, there is no need to be afraid of those monsters coming! The Griffin Knight was placed in a separate barracks by Du Weian, and he also sent 300 of his own personal guards to guard the periphery, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave. Afterwards, Du Wei ordered to send out all the 2,000 cavalrymen in the city, each in a team of ten, carrying the imperial army flag and his own tulip flag, go out from Yajin City, and search all the way to the north and east and west sides. Their task is to gather the defeated army that collapsed after the fall of the frontline fortress.Du Wei's order was very simple: Anyone who escaped from the front line, no matter which army they belonged to, whether it was from the Storm Legion, the local garrison, or the navy... as long as you see someone, bring them back! In order to worry about some defeated soldiers fleeing in fear of punishment—after all, the empire’s military law on punishment for defeat is still very strict, and soldiers are not counted. If the city is lost, if the leader retreats without fighting to the death, according to the seriousness of the circumstances, the most severe one will even be executed directly! The message that Du Wei sent out was an order in the name of his Duke Tulip: No matter the rank, no matter which army, as long as they return to Yajin City, they will not be held accountable for the defeat! Two thousand cavalrymen set off separately, and in less than a day, they brought back a large number of deserters slowly. Sitting in Yajin City, Du Wei ordered the 20,000 reserve and logistics soldiers in the city to distribute weapons and go up the city wall to prepare for battle. He also sent several griffin knights to patrol around Yajin City. This chaotic scene lasted for a full two days. Yajin City was too close to the front line, less than four hundred miles away, and it could be reached in one day and one night with a fast horse.In the past two days, batch after batch of defeated troops regrouped here. The numbers and establishments of these troops were different.Some soldiers can't find their officers, and some officers can't find their troops. In this kind of scene, Du Wei simply did not do anything, and reorganized the defeated troops that came one after another. Although this defeat was miserable, the actual situation, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line was not as miserable as imagined.The reason for this defeat was mainly due to the sudden surprise attack of a large number of Dragon Clans, which blinded the humans.Then the Dragon Clan took the opportunity to cause chaos in the city and opened the city gates, causing the army that had been exhausted for many days to fall into complete chaos. When the orcs entered the city, the defenders lost the advantage of the city wall, but they were powerless in the street fighting. It can be said that this is a defeat, but it is not a battle of annihilation.Hundreds of thousands of troops, not really in the city, but only 20,000 to 30,000.Most of them were in the middle of the night when they were resting. They were panicked by the news that the enemy had broken the city. After resisting for a while, they saw the giant dragons everywhere in the sky, the city was full of flames, and the orcs poured into the city. , triggered the bombing camp, and as a result, they collapsed and fled. Du Wei knew that in the war of the cold weapon era, this kind of camp bombing or inexplicable retreat was not too rare, and he couldn't blame the Stormtroopers for being too useless. After all, on the battlefield, such inexplicable things were unprecedented. The things I saw happened suddenly, and whoever it was would probably be stunned. For example, the "Battle of Feishui" in the history of the previous life, etc. Wars in the era of cold weapons are not uncommon. After a few days of busy work, the rebel army was gathered one by one, and the number of troops stationed in the city gradually increased from the original 20,000 to nearly 100,000. These days, what finally hangs in my heart is that I am worried that those criminal monster races will take the opportunity to drive straight in.After all, there are not many troops in Yajin City, and they are all second-line logistics reserve troops.Although the defeated army was gathered up one after another later, those messy troops who had just experienced a rout and had their organizational system completely dismantled had to go through a period of rectification before they could regain their combat effectiveness. If the criminals continued to go south at this time, even Du Wei had to admit in private: If things really happened like that, then he would probably have to flee south with his people. After all, I am not a god, and I only have five hundred cavalry guards and a few hundred magicians around me whose combat effectiveness is trustworthy.Relying on such a small number of people, if you want to stop the army of criminals from going south, unless you really make a desperate determination to gather a few holy-level strongmen to resist desperately in Yajin City, or you can have a few chances of defending it. But if it develops into a holy battle, then the strength of the holy rank among the criminals may not be what he can contend with now.At least, Luoxue alone would be absolutely unstoppable by himself, even if Hussein and Rodriguez were all transferred, he would not be able to defeat Luoxue. It's a pity... that guy Bai Hechou didn't know where he went.That guy seems to have no interest in the great and noble mission of "protecting the human world". Fortunately, the crime seems to be satisfied with taking down the fortress, and has no intention of going south. When the Griffin Knights were patrolling, they would occasionally encounter the orc wolf cavalry from a distance in the wild, but those wolf cavalry seemed to have received strict orders from the orcs, and when they saw the griffin knights in the sky from a distance, they immediately retreated, never near. In a few days, Du Wei was so busy in the dark that he barely reorganized the 70,000 to 80,000 defeated troops gathered back, but there was an extreme shortage of senior officers at the general level—during the fierce battle that broke the city, the senior generals Officers at the highest level are the only force capable of resisting the dragon's surprise attack. A large number of high-ranking generals died in the battle relying on their own strong force and the dragon's swearing to death.The reason for the defeat of these armies is also related to the fact that at the end of the battle, too many officers died in battle and there was a lack of effective command. Almost counting the days with his fingers, Du Wei dispatched Griffon Knights to patrol around every day, while waiting nervously. Finally, on the sixth day, reinforcements arrived. At the beginning, when I was the commander of the reinforcements going north, the local garrison troops near the northern region successively arrived in Yajin City to assemble, and 14,000 reinforcements from the waterway also arrived. Finally, on the tenth day, Yalor and others from the first department of the Military Academy also arrived in Yajin City with 16,000 reinforcements. He forcibly increased the marching speed, and even threw away a lot of luggage to rush on the road to arrive ahead of time. Du Wei is very satisfied with Yalor's decisive decision: at this time, the baggage is no longer important, and we must rush to the front line as soon as possible, otherwise, once the city of Yajin falls, then the south of the line of defense, all the way to the inner hinterland of the central part of the empire There will be no danger to defend the vast territory!Criminals can even drive straight in and drink the Malancang Canal! Reinforcements from all walks of life arrived, and in the small Yajin City, more than 150,000 troops were assembled again. Seeing that the city was full of imperial troops stationed outside the city, the people in the city gradually settled down. Come on. But at this time, the biggest mystery in Du Wei's mind was: Since the eastern fortress was conquered, why didn't the criminals go south immediately?They gave up such a good opportunity, why? ! The victory on the eastern front this time was obviously directly commanded by Luoxue of the elves!With Luo Xue's wisdom, he wouldn't fail to see such a good opportunity! ! It... sits and waits so quietly... what is it waiting for? !
