Seeing that Astarot had the same idea as his, Ryan couldn't help but nod secretly. He looked at the other companions and found that no one had any objections, so he said: "If this is the case, then we will rush to Hiei at full speed. Go to Gecheng and try to use the teleportation magic circle to leave before these dark elves and their vassals come to the city. I hope those Rakshasa demons won't be too stupid, otherwise I don't mind taking this place before the dark elves' soldiers point their finger. The permanent erasure of cities.”
After confirming the plan, the entire Ryan adventure team quickly got busy. It only took a few minutes for everyone to get ready. Then, under the influence of Victor's flying spell, they flew together in the sky. From Ryan and the others now From where we are, it would take at least two to three days to reach Hirig Castle according to the normal route, but if we switch to flying, we can vaguely see the majestic and majestic size of Hirig Castle in just half a day. The city is blocked,
Unlike huge cities such as Fernando City, the human imperial capital, and Findayala City, the Naga capital, the Rakshasa Demon's Bireg City is more like a fortress. It is built against the mountains and has a total of seventeen defenses. These city walls are extremely thick. It is possible that earth magic was added to maintain their solidity during construction. They spread from the highest mountain top to the wilderness dozens of kilometers away at the foot of the mountain. They look unusual. The splendor of
There is a circular flat-topped arrow tower every tens of meters on the seventeen city walls. On the top of the arrow tower is a giant ballista, which can fire huge crossbow arrows with a diameter of more than 1 meter. This terrifying weapon can easily smash invading soldiers several kilometers away into pieces, and can also mercilessly penetrate targets flying in the sky. As for the city wall, it is covered with holes that are not particularly large. The window is for the soldiers stationed inside to observe and shoot. After all, as the defending party, launching an arrow rain attack from a high position is definitely a nightmare for any attacker.
Of course, this is not all of the solid defense of Birag City. Ryan can also clearly see that there are spire buildings that look like magic towers erected in many places in this huge city built on the mountain. Today, these spire buildings It faintly emits a faint blue halo, and its internal defensive magic circle has obviously been activated. In this way, even if the invading enemy uses magic or even forbidden spells to attack, the defenders of Birag City can still hold on.
Ryan and the others were flying hundreds of meters in the air, but looking over from this angle, they found that they had only reached two-thirds of the height of Birag City. They had to raise their heads to see the top of Birag City. Calculating the sharp vault based on this ratio, Ryan estimates that the entire Bireg City is at least over a thousand meters in height. A city with an area of nearly a hundred kilometers and a height of more than a thousand meters can indeed be called "majestic".
"Ah, Birag City has opened a magic defense barrier. It seems that they already know about the invasion of foreign enemies." Solaufen, who was not far behind Ryan, suddenly said this: "But we may There's going to be some trouble, and look, someone's coming over and they've spotted us."
Ryan nodded slightly. He had already seen several harpies flapping their wings and flying towards him from Birag City. Ryan originally planned to use the name of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce to get in. , so he didn’t use any means to hide his whereabouts, and it was normal for him to be discovered by the other party.
"Land to the ground immediately, land immediately, otherwise we will launch crossbow attacks indiscriminately." The harpy warriors shouted loudly after flying close. Looking at the looks in their eyes, it seemed that Ryan and the others had been Treated as a heinous spy,
"Don't get me wrong, we are mercenaries of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce. I am Solaufen, and this is my identity mark." Solaufen took out an emblem made of something unknown, held it in his hand and faced it towards the opposite side. After waving a few times, he whispered to Victor: "Please put us on the ground, and I will convince them."
Thorofen had already guessed the reaction of Birag City. In other cities, when they found that a huge enemy army was quickly approaching the border, they would probably close the city gates and let others leave around the city to avoid external attacks. Spies sneaked into the city, but Birag City did not need to do this, because the Rakshasa demons in the entire city accounted for only 20% at most, and there were more dark elves, ogres, trolls and other races, and even There are even many kobolds,
So many non-Rakshasa races are employed by the Chamber of Commerce in Birag City, and they only value the employer's shining gold coins. As long as they can afford the money, it is absolutely fine even if they and their compatriots are allowed to kill each other. Each chamber of commerce has its own trade route. This time the kobold army appears in the Multipolar Abyss, it will definitely deal a serious blow to the interests of many chambers of commerce. If their remaining mercenaries are not allowed to enter the city, the strength of these chambers of commerce will be greatly affected. There will be more serious damage, and it will also affect the strength and morale of the defenders in the city.
It was precisely because of this that Thorofen had the confidence to bring Ryan and the others into the city in the name of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce. Not long after Ryan and his party stood on the ground, the harpies also flapped their wings and landed. In front of Solaufen, they held scimitars in their hands and looked at Solaufen, Ryan and others with wary faces. The harpy at the head carefully took the identity mark from Solaufen's hand and examined it carefully. stand up,
Ryan glanced at the Birag City opposite with an expressionless face. He found that at least twenty ballistae were already aimed at him, and there were multiple detection magics detecting back and forth in his area. Obviously Birig The city has been on heightened alert. Even if someone wants to sneak in, they may not be able to get through these layers of blockades. Ryan lowered his head and estimated the time. He felt that if the kobold army had no other plans, they should be still farther away than Ruige now. It’s nearly three hundred kilometers away,
Calculated at normal marching speed, it would take almost three full days to walk 300 kilometers. However, the kobold army came from a long way. I am afraid they will not attack the city immediately after arriving outside Bireg City. They will probably rely on their large numbers to attack first. Completely blockade Biruige in the far periphery, and after a few days of training to regain combat strength, officially launch an attack on the city. Calculating this, the battle will have to wait for at least six or seven days.
"It is indeed the identity mark of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce." The leader of the harpy quickly confirmed Solaufen's identity. After returning the emblem to Solaufen, she asked: "Excuse me, Captain Solaufen. Did you encounter any trouble on your way back?"
"Yes." Thorofen replied with a sad face: "Damn it, a group of hateful kobold troops ransacked us, and only a few of us ran out. When did these guys become so bold? He actually rushed to the multi-pole abyss to rob the Rakshasa demon's caravan."
"It seems that you are not the unluckiest guys. After all, you are back alive." The harpy captain flapped his wings a few times, and the fishy smell from its body immediately hit his nose. Thorofen was used to it. There was a smell, but he still stood there without changing his expression. The harpy battle thought for a while, and then asked: "Can you describe the characteristics of the kobold army in detail? Maybe it will have a very special influence on the entire defense of Birag." It might be a good reference.”
"Well, there are many people, there are many of them, but their individual strength is not our opponent at all." Solaufen pretended to think, but he was actually recalling what he saw through the magic image created by Ryan, about the dog head The situation of the human army: "They are very united and not afraid of death. They encountered them on the way, so I don't know how many people there are in total, whether they are equipped with any siege weapons, and I don't know how many strong people there are, but just Those who besieged us were at least fifty thousand people."
"Fifty thousand? Maybe this is just the forward force." Captain Harpy whispered, then raised his head and said to Solaufen: "Okay, you also know the rules of Birag City. Now there is an invasion of foreign enemies. , and you just happened to come back at this time, so we will take you into the city and ask several prophecy mages to be released to test whether you are lying and whether you dare."
"What is there to be afraid of?" Thorofen replied casually: "But our magician must be present. In addition, we will never give up our arms during the entire test. You must know that you must relax when conducting this aspect of the test. You cannot If you have any resistance to the effects of the spell, this is an excellent opportunity to be attacked by others. If you can't trust us, we can't trust you either."
"Hmph." The harpy seemed to find Solaufen's words a bit harsh, but she didn't say anything more. In this world of "intrigue and deception, and the law of the jungle, the strong eat the strong", even if they are as close as a father and son, they will still fight each other. One day, it is extremely stupid to put one's life in the hands of strangers. Solaufen's request is not without precedent. What's more, as she said, there is no basis for trust between the two parties, so it is better to put these things aside. Let each other feel more at ease in the open,
Seeing that the harpy made a gesture towards her, indicating to follow her, Thorofen followed her calmly, pretending to be careless and asked as she walked: "You said just now that we are not the best." Too bad, there are quite a few people who came back."
"You are not the first, and I think you will probably not be the last." The harpy seemed unwilling to talk more. After she said this sentence, she stopped talking. Solaufen tried again. Several times, seeing that she really couldn't get the information she wanted from a silent target, she had no choice but to give up. After all, she didn't want to be too obvious, so that others would suspect that she had become an enemy. If he is a spy of the army, it will affect Ryan and the others' subsequent actions.
