The attack of the dark elves continues, and a large number of dark elves will die in the attack every day. Of course, the losses of the Rakshasa demons as the defenders are also huge. The entire Three Spires Fortress has become a huge tomb, with tens of thousands of people buried every day. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives were lost. After ten days of fighting, the dark elves had captured six of the eleven city walls, and also seized many more passages leading to the interior of the fortress. Of course, not every passage The battle for the passage was smooth sailing, and there were also traps specially set by the Rakshasa demon. When nearly 10,000 dark elves invaded the passage, the Rakshasa demon put down huge rocks to seal the exit of the passage, and then bit by bit Cannibalizing the dark elves who were trapped without reinforcements,
Speaking of which, the passage that La Nina captured first is progressing the fastest and most smoothly, but even so, it can only advance a few dozen meters per day. The passage in the mountain wall is not as good as the streets in the city. Although the latter also has Buildings restrict movement and block sight, but the attacker can still use destructive means to force a passage through the obstacles in front of them, or use magic from mid-air to directly level the blocks in front of them, etc.
On the contrary, in the passages dug out by underground excavations, the dark elves can only advance and retreat step by step along these passages dug by the Rakshasa demon. Their advantage in military strength cannot be used at all, and they can only repeatedly attack hundreds of people. Time and time again, the high-level team attacked the fortifications arranged by the Rakshasa demon. The dark elves did not want to find another way in the passage, but they were always powerless. What stopped them from doing so was not the archmages who were attacked by the Rakshasa demon on the stone walls of these passages. The various reinforcement magic left behind is that the dark elves are not good at digging underground. Excavating randomly is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also triggers the traps arranged by the Rakshasa demon in advance, which wastes troops.
There are no experts in this field among the dark elves, which does not mean that there are not among the dark elves in the army. As the dwarf king, Reynolds of the La Nina Legion is naturally very familiar with mining ores, making equipment, and digging caves, because the entire dwarf kingdom Blackstone City is a tool forged by the ancestors of the dwarves of all generations, and slowly built with their hands over countless years. The dark elves are unfamiliar with the passages inside the Three Spiers Fortress, but Reynolds has lived in a similar environment for many years. Even if he closes his eyes and listens, he can accurately guess what is hidden behind the thick stone wall. This is the unique mining experience of the dwarves. They rely on this method to continuously excavated precious mineral resources,
No matter how brave and capable La Nina's army is, it is impossible for them to fight continuously on the battlefield for ten days and ten nights. They also need to rotate with friendly forces. When it is his turn to rest, Reynolds begins to think about how to dig. The passage bypasses the defenses laid out by the Rakshasa demon and opens up a second battlefield from the flanks or behind. As long as the whole process can be cleverly concealed to prevent the Rakshasa demon from discovering it in advance, and then the key parts of the Rakshasa demon can be found, Reynolds I have the confidence to teach those hairy guys a tough lesson,
Before the Rakshasa demon excavates the fortress, he will definitely conduct a comprehensive survey of the geology, rocks, etc., and then design the most effective system based on this information, including tunnels for passage and military camps for rest. , warehouses for storing materials, and defenses used to resist invasion, etc. In terms of walking tunnels, if you are pursuing saving time and effort, the straighter the better, but such a tunnel is convenient to walk on its own, and when the enemy attacks and breaks through It is more convenient. The enemy's archmage can use magic to release towards the end of the passage. If the Rakshasa demon wants to defend, it can only use the same method to resist the dark elf's attack. This is tantamount to a competition between the two sides for manpower. This Naturally, it does not conform to the original intention of the Rakshasa demon to build the fortress.
Therefore, all the passages inside the entire fortress must be winding. At the same time, in order to prevent the dark elves from breaking through the stone walls between the two passages, the Rakshasa demon not only reinforced all the rocks here with magic, but also tried as much as possible in the design. The most obvious thing that increases the difficulty of this approach is that all the passages here are separated by at least tens of meters of rock walls. The middle is not completely solid. There are many artificial traps set up in many places. If it is dark If the elves accidentally touch them while digging, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
All this was revealed under Reynolds' survey. The dwarf king spent three days to understand the surrounding environment, and then took out a sketch of the route. On this slightly scrawled drawing, Reynolds will All the surrounding passages were clearly marked, and many hidden traps were also indicated. Finally, Reynolds also outlined a winding route downwards in these complex environments.
The length of this breakthrough designed by Reynolds was about thirty or forty meters. It avoided all obstacles along the way and passed through the passages of two Rakshasa demons many times. Finally, it reached a Rakshasa demon to mobilize its troops. Above the passage, roughly calculating based on the distance and direction, that passage should be the passage for entry and exit of the first city wall outside the Rakshasa demon. However, it has been permanently closed. The Rakshasa demon should not focus on defense. Placed here, this is also in line with the characteristics of a surprise attack by the dark elves. Who would have thought that the dark elves who are attacking the entrance and exit passage of the second city wall will suddenly appear in the entrance and exit passage that has been closed by the first city wall below.
Reynolds' design sketch only stayed in La Nina's hands for more than half an hour before it was transferred to General Dahni. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the latter nodded and agreed to the plan reported by La Nina, and immediately transferred Four high-level legendary archmages came to support Reynolds. Although the latter was good at digging caves, it was not easy to work on a stone wall blessed with a large amount of solid magic. Even if he could succeed, it would be delayed for a long time. It was easy. If you attract the attention of the Rakshasa demon, the purpose of the surprise attack will be lost.
Since the archmages of the Rakshasa demon use earth magic to bless the surrounding stone walls to strengthen their solid effect and banish them from being destroyed and dug out, these dark elf archmages can also use the opposite method to apply it to these stone walls to destroy them. The existing magic effect even made these hard rocks loose to a certain extent to facilitate the excavation speed of the excavation team led by Reynolds himself.
All of this quietly started under the more fierce attack of the dark elves on the frontal battlefield. The dark elves did not relax their attack because of other possible routes. They had to hold back the Rakshasa demon and let their The commander can't think of anywhere else to go, and perhaps the troops guarding other areas will be concentrated due to the strengthened offensive of the dark elves. In either case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Because of the limited time and tools, it was impossible for Reynolds to create a passage for dozens of people to enter and exit like in Black Rock City. He knocked all the way down the rock wall, and then had an assistant to remove the stone chips. During the process, the dark elf archmage came from time to time to use magic to disintegrate the solid magic created by the Rakshasa demon archmage, and soften the hard rock as much as possible to facilitate Reynolds' process.
Reynolds didn't do everything by himself. He was responsible for digging out the general direction. As for widening the passage and other matters, the dark elf warriors were naturally responsible for it. Even so, he could only make seven or eight things in a whole day. The distance is far less than the nearly 100 meters that the dark elves can advance in a day on a normal battlefield. This efficiency quickly aroused doubts in the hearts of the dark elves who knew about it. Many people thought that Reynolds's move was unnecessary because Maybe by the time he digs through everything, the dark elves will have occupied the Rakshasa demon's barracks, and this unnecessary step will no longer be needed.
Even when most of the dark elves were skeptical or even negative, La Nina maintained a high degree of trust in Reynolds, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as responsive to every request. Seeing La Nina's attitude, Dach General Ni naturally overcame all objections and gave La Nina and the others the greatest support. With the two of them as backup, Reynolds finally launched the attack from the outer positions on the fifth day of the tunnel. In ten days, a small tunnel was opened that connected the troop transportation passages on the upper and lower city walls of the Rakshasa Demon.
Although this temporarily dug tunnel is very narrow, which can allow a dark elf to climb up and down normally, the significance it brings is very important. La Nina personally led the team and brought hundreds of people including her with her. The remaining teammates with the strongest strength sneaked into the passage below along this tunnel that the Rakshasa demon still didn't know. Then they followed the troop transport channel dug by the Rakshasa demon in reverse and quickly broke into the Rakshasa demon. In a military camp,
Since the commander of the Rakshasa demon was very confident in his fortress defense system, after confirming that the troop transport passages on the lower city wall were closed and the attacks of the dark elves became more violent, he moved several other areas that he thought were safe. Most of the troops in the direction were mobilized, so when La Nina and the others broke into the military camp, there were only fifty soldiers inside, and the strongest one was the ordinary high-level centurion captain.
The Queen of Blades is too lazy to take action against such a character. Guannoda understood with one arrow that the ensuing battle was not even a one-sided massacre. The whole process only lasted a minute. She was quickly cleaning the battlefield to prevent the smell of blood. After the virus spread and aroused suspicion, La Nina ordered to change her clothes and dress up as a Rakshasa demon warrior. Before setting off, La Nina and General Dahni had already discussed how to fight behind enemy lines, so they specially brought them with them this time. A camouflage mask used by dark elf scouts,
This thing is actually a crude version of the magic mask that Ryan made for Reynolds and the others before. If you look carefully, it can't be hidden from most inspection methods. However, it is a state of war now, and the Rakshasa demon has mobilized quite a lot of troops. Frequently, how could they waste their time by endlessly setting up monitoring stations? Moreover, La Nina and the others did not plan to sneak in secretly to steal any information. They just needed to use this thing to get as close as possible to the key parts of the Rakshasa Demon area. , the remaining tasks still have to be completed with scimitars and arrows,
