"Tombstone" tavern, in a dark corner.
"What? Are you going to attack the Forgotten City?"
The oak barrel wise man, who was drinking most of the rum, shook his hands, and he could hardly hold the cup steadily. His eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief.
"That's right! Mr. Zilio..." Kronia glanced at the oak barrel wise man and lowered her voice, "Our Shadow Thieves do have such a plan!"
"It's just crazy!"
The oak barrel wise man smiled wryly, and took a sip of the wine. The oak barrel wise man was just his nickname, and his name was Zilio, "I never thought that you guys would have such a crazy plan..."
"No!" Zilio paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and stared at Kronia with slightly drunk eyes, "So, the five thousand orcs in Osama disappeared in the Sunset Mountains, and it was you who Well done!"
Kronia, Ron, and Shaar looked at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes. He was worthy of being a wise man, and he could deduce so many things from small clues. Although he was not strong, Kronya Ya said he has a little bit of precognition, can this be true
When Kronia was hesitating whether to answer this question, Zilio turned to Ron, "Your Excellency is... a hero?"
"Hero" just refers to a title, Zilio means Ron's strength, he is a god.
"good!"
After the initial shock, Ron calmed down quickly. Instead of being so secretive, he might as well admit that if the Shadow Thieves beat 5,000 orcs with 20,000 undead, there would be ghosts if something else happened. .
Ron bluntly told Zilio who he was.
"Necromancer...God..." Zilio's expression became agitated, his lips trembled. At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "The return of the dead, the rebirth of the lich, could this be... Could it be... a harbinger of cataclysm?"
"what?"
Zilio's voice was too low, and Ron, Char, and Kronia couldn't hear clearly, and they all froze for a moment.
"there is nothing!"
Zilio felt that he had slipped his mouth, so he immediately stopped and changed the subject.
"Although there is help from the power of the gods, the strength of the Shadow Thieves is still too weak to compete with the Frostwolf Legion!" Zlior paused, and drank the low-quality rum in the glass, "Cronia Miss, although I really want to help you, I have to persuade you to dispel this idea. The Frostwolf Legion attaches great importance to the Forgotten City. According to my guess, the strength of the Frostwolf Legion is no less than 300,000... "
"Three hundred thousand?" Even though she was mentally prepared, Kronia couldn't help but exclaimed. If this was the case, it would be a no-brainer to seize the Forgotten City. The one hundred thousand undead were not enough for the orc army to squeeze between their teeth. of.
"That's impossible!" Kronya said with a gloomy expression.
"But it's strange!" Zilio said to himself, "The number of orc soldiers on the street seems to have increased these days, patrolling around, looking like an enemy, this is Osama's death The last thing... It stands to reason, for you one hundred thousand undead... This shouldn't be at all... The orcs are going to fight the rhythm of the war... "
Ron took a deep breath. It doesn't matter to him whether the orcs fight or not. What he cares about is how to get the Forgotten City and the black crystal mine in the Forgotten City.
"Mr. Zillio, is there really nothing we can do?" Ron continued to ask unwillingly. He could see that Zillio was hesitant to speak.
Zilio sighed, "Since Lord Lich King asked, I have no choice but to say..."
"To capture the Forgotten City, we must resort to stronger forces!" Zillio said, rolling his eyes.
"A stronger power?" Ron, Char, and Kronia looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.
"Queen Rose, who is located in the spider kingdom in the southern mountains of Salito, is a powerful crypt lord with the power of a god. With her help, capturing the Forgotten City will not be a problem!"
"Spider Queen Rose? Crypt Lord?" Ron frowned and said, "Are you sure she will help us?"
"There should be no problem... if you are really the heir to the Lich King!" Zillio waved his hand and asked the maid to serve another glass of wine, "A hundred thousand years ago, she was the most loyal follower of the Lich King. After the church failed, in order to avoid being liquidated by the Justice League, and could not understand the actions of the God of Disasters, Fesmarck, and the Dreadlord Saruman, he returned to his hometown, the Underground Spider Kingdom, and lived in seclusion. The Justice League after the war It's a mess with the evil alliance, but no one cares about her... "
"If you are really the designated successor of the Lich King Heremus, and you hold the Scourge Scepter, I believe she will help you. Rose is the queen of the underground spider kingdom and controls tens of millions of crypt spiders. These powerful The undead creatures will be your greatest help... But... "
"But what?"
Hearing this, Ron has already been moved. He has the godhead of the Lich King and the Scourge Scepter, the symbol of the Scourge. If what Zilio said is true, Queen Rose will naturally miss some old feelings, but after hearing Zi Leo said "but", Ron was a little anxious.
"The gate of space!" Zilio said, with a rare serious look on his face.
…
Night had fallen, and the entire Forgotten City was cast in a shadow. On the dimly lit street, Ron, Shaar, and Kronia ran across the street like civet cats, and quickly disappeared into the corner of the street.
The gate of space, after receiving Zilio's reminder, the three of Ron quickly understood the key point. To capture the Forgotten City, in addition to having a strong force, they must also destroy the gate of space and block the orc frost wolf army. With continuous follow-up support, in this way, the orcs in the Forgotten City will become a lone army, and with the help of the undead in Spider Queen Rose City, they will capture the Forgotten City.
Although this plan is not perfect, it is already the best plan, otherwise, there is no need to rely on the power of one hundred thousand undead in Sunset City.
"The Sombra Mine... We have reached the Forgotten City Sombra Mine..."
Three black figures appeared beside a city wall, lying cautiously on their stomachs, Kronia whispered to Ron and Char.
From the defense map of the Forgotten City that Zilio simply drew for Kronia, it shows the location of the gate of space, which is not far from the black crystal mine. To get to the gate of space, one must pass through the black crystal mine.
Whether it is the Black Crystal Mine or the Gate of Space, they are all important places in the Forgotten City. There are heavily guarded by orcs here. Although it is completely dark, groups of orc soldiers are still patrolling, and their vigilant eyes are scanning the surroundings. Everything, not even a fly can fly over.
Sombra...
Ron raised his head slightly, and quietly looked at the environment below, only to see a huge deep pit with a diameter of about two or three kilometers in front of him surrounded by the solid city wall.
This is the large-scale black crystal mine, with more than billions of equivalent black crystal mines, erupting the original power of the tide, and tens of thousands of black crystal coins are mined every day.
There is no more profitable industry than mining black crystal coins.
At this time, Ron saw many orcs coming in and out of the huge black crystal mine. These orcs looked a little thinner than ordinary orcs, but they were much stronger than humans. Kronia told Ron that these were the lowest level Orc laborers specialize in coolies. Orc buildings are not directly summoned from the ground like the undead, but are built with these laborers. The buildings of the undead are not suitable for orcs. The Frostwolf Legion recruits a large number of orc laborers here. In addition to mining the black crystal mine, they are doing heavy work such as repairing the city wall and building defensive towers.
Everything Ron has done is for the black crystal mine in front of him. With it, the Forgotten City can expand the population by a hundred times. With the population, there will be a stronger army. Ron clenched his fists excitedly , Grand plans are brewing in my heart...
"Let's go!"
At this time, Kronia's deep voice woke Ron from his contemplation, and he realized that the patrolling orc soldiers had gone far away.
"Walk!"
Ron took a deep breath, stretched his figure, and quickly disappeared into the night...
The gate of space.
Ron, Shaar, and Kronia soon came to the gate of the Forgotten City, which is the place connecting the main plane of power and the Forgotten City. To be precise, this is not a gate, but a gate. There are two huge stone pillars. The two stone pillars are about 80 meters apart. The stone pillars are covered with patterns in the style of orc totems. When the gate of space is activated, the magic circle of the two stone pillars will light up, forming a huge space vortex. , once the gate of space is opened, a steady stream of orcs will come from the other side of the main plane.
Because of this, the guards at the Gate of Space are stricter than those at the Black Crystal Mine. There are guards at every three steps and every five steps. They are all fully armed orc soldiers, and there are dozens of Frostwolf knights. These beasts with a keen sense of smell It is not easy to deal with, maybe its strength is not strong, but it is not difficult to find yourself.
Fortunately, Kronia is a very professional thief. Before she came, she put medicine powder on the three of them to cover up the smell on the three of them, so that the giant wolves couldn't smell it.
The place where the three of them hid was behind a watchtower. At this moment, Kronia's voice came from Ron's ear.
"Watch out! Someone's coming..."
When Ron and Shaar heard this, they immediately hid their figures. Sure enough, a group of fully armed orc soldiers came here at irregular steps.
"Hey... I'm exhausted after standing all day!" said the leading orc.
"Yeah... It's been a long time since I've been so nervous. Is this going to be a big fight?" Another orc asked.
"It looks like it must be... Now in this atmosphere, I can smell the smoke of the battlefield..." said the orc before.
"Hehe, war, but who are you fighting with? Undead? Master Long didn't really think that Osama and the five thousand soldiers who disappeared a few days ago were the work of undead?" Another orc laughed, "We mobilized so many It's ridiculous that the legion is just to deal with the weak undead!"
"That's not true!" The leading orc pondered for a moment, "Did you forget? According to the investigation report some time ago, angels seemed to appear around the Forgotten City."
"Angel?"
"That's right, the angels of the main plane of order, I heard that they belong to the Holy Light Corps..."
"So, our enemy this time is the Holy Light Legion?" Hearing the news, an orc's tone trembled, and his fear could be heard, "Is the news true?"
"Hush—whisper, this is a military secret, it must not be leaked..." The leading orc made a silent gesture, and gave the orcs a hard look, "I'll tell you one more thing... Master Long has come , just arrived, you bastards, keep your eyes open, don't spoil my business... "
