After accepting the allegiance of the five people and taking many monster captives, Jose didn't forget about his business and asked the monsters what they knew about Black Bone City.
After piecing together the fragmentary information provided by the slave soldiers, a complete black bone city from the slave's perspective appeared in front of Jose.
A powerful drow city, with intricate family relationships, alien slaves integrated into all aspects of the city, and a ruler who is loved by drow commoners.
The High Priest of Black Bone City—Julia Hill is definitely an outlier among the many drow rulers. She has done many good things for the low-level drow civilians, such as using divine magic to heal the injured drow for free.
But Jose still didn't believe that a drow priest would change, and only thought that Julia Hill was good at disguising.
On the side, Ergou saw that the red dragon had recovered from his thoughts, and asked quickly, "Master, what should we do next?"
Jose looked around and saw that the monster army had come to the end of cleaning the battlefield, and only a few people were still looking for possible spoils.
He looked at the entrance of the deep tunnel leading to Black Bone City again, and fear flashed in his eyes.
In a huge drow city that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are currently two known legendary professionals. Who knows if these are all the legendary experts in Black Bone City.
If you attack rashly, it will be bad if you hit the muzzle of the gun.
It is also inappropriate to stay in the dark area of No. H007. First, it is too close to Black Bone City, so it is impossible for drow to know about secret passages and other passages. Prepare for war.
Jose thought about it, why not retreat to the dark area of H006 before making plans.
With this in mind, he ordered: "Retreat to Underdark Area H006!"
"yes!"
With Ergou's permission, the trumpeter on the side took off the horn from his waist, brought the horn to his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn.
Whoooo!
The sound of vast horns echoed in the Underdark with a unique rhythm, which was the signal to retreat.
The monster soldiers who collected the loot hurriedly ran towards the large army, assembled and stood up, and then embarked on the road of retreat under the leadership of Ergou.
All the way out of the dark area of H007, the army of monsters retreated to the exit of the dark area of H006.
The red dragon issued orders: "Build fortifications, arrange guards, and guard against enemy sneak attacks..."
"Obey!"
"..."
Some monsters collected nearby materials, carried stones, and built fortifications at the entrance of the tunnel leading to the dark area of H007.
The remaining army of monsters cleared the land around the tunnel entrance, felled trees, built tents, lit fires and cooked, as if they were stationed for a long time.
While the monster army was busy, Jose sent an order to the family members of Mordo Peak Forest through the family contract, ordering all the family members to gather an army and come to the dark area for support.
In less than a day, 50,000 troops rushed to the Red Dragon.
With an army of 50,000 in hand, Jose was confident enough to order the scouts to enter the Underdark Area H007 to explore, to explore the passage leading to the Underdark Area where Black Bone City is located.
With the red dragon sitting behind, the monster army is also full of confidence. They not only explore the dark area H007, but also look for opportunities to further explore the dark area H008 where Black Bone City is located.
Black Bone City found that the Red Dragon forces did not retreat, but took a further peek at Black Bone City, and immediately launched a counterattack, sending drow scouts to fight the monster scouts in the dark area H007.
Exploration, ambush, and assassination are happening every day, and the dark area of H007 has become a battlefield, and fresh blood seeps into the soil every day.
…
three days later.
In the crude fortress that blocked the entrance to the cave, the shrunken red dragon stayed in the command tent, standing in front of a table with a parchment map on it.
This map is the detailed map of the H007 Underdark Region. Three days ago, there was a blank space on this map, but now the map is complete. This is the result of the monster soldier's investigation.
As expected by Red Dragon, there are two connecting passages between H007 and H008.
Jose stared at the two passages, one east and one west, both connected to the dark area H008 where Black Bone City is located, and it is also the only way for the monster army to attack Black Bone City.
The situation of Black Bone City and Dark Moon City is very different. Dark Moon City was attacked suddenly without the drow's knowledge, and the blitzkrieg took over the core city.
As for Black Bone City, the battle between the two sides is already on the surface, and the competition for strategic places like the entrance of the tunnel will be extremely fierce.
This is one of the reasons why the Red Dragon took the initiative to retreat, turning the dark area of H007 into a battlefield for both sides to avoid fighting the advantageous drow in the narrow tunnel.
This is a blatant conspiracy. Drow also wanted to resist the enemy thousands of miles away, so he took the white glove thrown by the red dragon. The scale of the battle between the two sides in the dark area of H007 became larger and larger.
The fighters on both sides had a hunch that the decisive battle was not far away.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Jose stared at the map that had no omissions, and felt that the time was ripe.
"Yougou, pass on the order to kill cattle and goats to fill the stomachs of the soldiers. After a day's rest, assemble the army and enter the Underdark Area H007."
"Obey!"
On the fourth day after taking the initiative to retreat, the red dragon returned with the army again.
This time, he was fully prepared, ready to defeat the drow of Black Bone City in one fell swoop, and seize the giant underdark area H008.
On the other side, Black Bone City was also full of confidence in victory and vowed to drive away the invaders. An elite army of 10,000 drow and 50,000 slave soldiers marched out of the tunnel.
As if agreed, the Red Dragon forces and the Black Bone City army met on the vast land.
The upside-down luminous rocks are like stars, and the chilling light shines on the ground. The two sides are posing on the ground, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The red dragon flapped its wings and floated above its own army, staring solemnly at the figure in the distant sky, the divine power around that figure was as concentrated as real.
Black Bone City High Priest—Julia Hill!
According to Gu Honglong's observation, Julia Hill is full of momentum, but she has to fight to know her specific strength.
"Stop making meaningless resistance! Black Bone City will be destroyed! Surrender is your only way to survive!" As he said, the mighty power of dragons on Jose's body erupted.
The pure dragon's power is rolling, pressing down on the enemy overwhelmingly, trying to gain an advantage for oneself at the beginning of the war.
The legendary priest—Julia had been guarding against this move for a long time, and quickly spit out several syllables from her mouth. With the legendary priest as the source point, the vast platinum energy radiance spread in all directions.
Master-level magic—Courage Halo!
The aura of courage, with the caster as the source, creates a special magic force field, which can boost the morale of one's own side and eliminate the fear in the heart.
Long Wei's influence was eliminated, Jose's pupils shrank, and his heart froze.
The range of the aura of courage cast by a general master priest is only one or two hundred meters, and that of a legendary priest is only five hundred meters, but the range of Julia Hill's aura of courage is as high as eight hundred meters.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube, its strength can be seen.
On the other hand, Julia Hill was also very surprised by the strength of the red dragon's dragon power, the dragon's dragon power is directly proportional to its strength.
The red dragon in front of her looks like a young dragon from the outside, but the dragon's power is stronger than the average adult red dragon. This abnormal phenomenon makes her vigilant.
After calculating it in her heart, she found that she was not sure about keeping this weird red dragon, and thinking about the growth of the red dragon, she couldn't help but feel a little toothache.
She blesses herself with a voice-enhancing spell, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Red Dragon! My Black Bone City has a history of more than 7,000 years! It's not easy to bully! Why bother to fight?!"
"It's better to retreat, how about we all pretend that this didn't happen?"
"You have a good idea! Kill so many of my subordinates, and you still want me!" Jose's voice was full of anger, and at the same time, it also aroused the anger in the hearts of his own monster army.
Julia Hill's face turned cold, and she was slightly angry.
"Red Dragon! Do you think I'm afraid of you?! If I don't want to sacrifice the lives of my people! I won't talk about peace!"
Down below, the drow army was moved when they heard the words, and couldn't help being moved.
Jose felt a little dignified, and thought: I have met my opponent!
Like himself, the words of the drow priest are not only to refute the opponent, but also to use the art of language to boost the morale of one's own side and pave the way for victory.
Such a city, this drow is not easy.
However, Jose is not afraid. The profession of priest is balanced in all aspects, and the attack ability of divine arts is no better than that of magic. [Fire Elemental Barrier] is simply the nemesis of the priest profession.
Since the safety of his life is guaranteed, why should he not give it a go
Secretly turned on [Data Visualization], Jose scanned the ground, trying to find the figure of the drow legendary thief, but found nothing.
With his knees, he knew that the legendary thief must be hiding.
Jose still planned to go straight to the battle without finding the legendary thief. [Phoenix Heart], [Fire Elemental Barrier] and [Inverse Dragon Scale] were enough to make him invincible.
"superior!"
The voice of the red dragon sounded in Ergou's heart, and without the slightest hesitation, he ordered to attack.
Whoooo!
The urgent attack horn sounded, and the monster army grasped their weapons and launched an attack.
Since the wild boars are not suitable for fighting in the crypt, the ogre family will bear the responsibility of opening the way for the heavy cavalry.
These big fat men with a height of four to five meters were wearing heavy armor, and more than a hundred people lined up in a row. When they charged, they were like a moving steel city wall, and their power was terrifying.
Behind the ogre, gnolls and wolf cavalry followed, among them were some kobolds riding monitor lizards, and the monster army followed closely behind.
On the side of drow, the drow animal trainer led a group of huge eyeless behemoths and drove forty or fifty eyeless behemoths to the front. These six-meter-long behemoths roared wildly without fear Hedge against the ogre.
"Come on! Despicable slave!" The drow warlord held a scimitar and waved a whip to urge the slave soldiers to attack.
The slaves who had already been tamed charged, and swarmed behind the eyeless behemoth.
At the same time, at the end of the red dragon side, the temporarily assembled catapult is already in a ready state, and the ogre magician carries the explosive barrel and puts the explosive barrel into the launch frame.
Gaozhi Goblin, who belongs to [Burning Wings], adjusted the launch angle of the catapult and ignited the fuse.
Explosive barrels flew up into the sky one after another, passing through a parabola and falling to the drow behind, and the magical gunpowder that had been improved many times burned violently in a narrow space.
Boom boom boom!
A series of loud explosions sounded, and the ignited kerosene rained down from the sky.
Although he had never seen an explosive barrel before, Commander Drow responded calmly and shouted loudly: "Raise the shield! Hold up the magic barrier!"
All the people of drow are soldiers, and the army is the essence of the strong in a drow city. There are a lot of legal professionals in the army.
Hemispherical magic barriers are propped up one by one, and in areas without magic barriers, soldiers hold up shields to prop up a safe space.
The burning fire oil fell on the shield, and it was still burning. Some drow ignited their clothes and even injured their bodies due to the flames leaking through the gap.
"Ahhh!" A painful scream sounded.
"What the hell is this?!"
"..."
Chaos broke out in a small area, and the drow commander was under the protection of magic, looking at the burning flames on the enchantment with a dignified mood. Although he had never seen such a weapon, he could still analyze it calmly.
At this time, some explosive barrels flew over.
"Archer! Shoot these damn things down!"
Under the command of the commander, a large amount of arrow rain with energy was shot out, and the dense arrow rain collided with the explosive barrel in mid-air, detonating the explosive barrel in advance.
Boom boom boom!
Most of the burning fire rain fell on the slave soldiers, and a small part fell on the monster army.
Looking at the chaos of flames born below, Jose's heart froze.
The attack method of projecting explosive barrels has been cracked!
This is not to say that the explosive barrel is weak, but that the drow army is too strong.
The drow living environment is harsh, and they are immortal species. All of them are soldiers, and the proportion of professionals is extremely high. Almost one out of every three drow is a professional.
And the drow army is full of professionals, and the arrows shot by the professionals are enough to destroy the explosive barrel.
However, as the provider of the design idea of the explosive barrel, how could Jose not consider the situation that the explosive barrel would hurt his own people.
No need for spells, the rain of fire falling on the monster army was extinguished, leaving only kerosene to continue to fall, hitting the monster soldiers like raindrops.
For a red dragon with [Burning Field], it is easy to extinguish a little bit of flame.
The monster army was guarded by a red dragon, but the drow slave soldiers were not so lucky. They were burned and screamed by the rain of fire from the sky.
However, even though the explosive barrel has been improved over the years and the cost has been greatly reduced, it is still somewhat overkill to deal with slave soldiers.
Jose ordered the firing of explosive barrels to cease, staring down at the battlefield.
On the battlefield below, the charging ogre has already met the eyeless behemoth. Both are giant creatures, and the collision is terrifying.
The ogre roared angrily, and danced the mace whirringly. The spiked mace smashed the giant beast's skin, cracked its flesh, and shattered its bones.
The giant beast opened its bloody mouth wide, and its fangs bit the ogre's body fiercely, and the blood burst in its mouth.
Among the giant beasts, the wolf man and wolf cavalry saw every stitch, brandishing a big knife and fighting with the rushing enemy.
The battle instantly heated up!
