Chapter 838

Flaming flames and thick smoke filled the sky above the cloud peak.

Staring at the rolling head under his feet, Igor, who was pale, trembled his lips and remained silent for a whole minute. He still couldn't believe whether what he saw was true.

The supreme King... Dead?

Under the protection of a large number of guards and walls, fortresses, palaces and troops... Was killed by an assassin in front of his own eyes?

"Boom --!!"

There was another loud noise in the direction of the city gate in the distance, the dark smoke rose over the cloud peak, and the rapid and sharp horn echoed in all the dwarves' ears.

"Your Excellency, the enemy has broken through the first line of defense and is besieging our city gate, your excellency!"

Seeing the black smoke floating in the distance, Igor's guard captain, the stout dwarf who had just cut the assassin, roared in surprise and anger, with a choking voice:

"Please stand up immediately and organize defense, otherwise it's only a matter of time for the city gate to fall!"

But Igor, who was in a trance, did not hear what he was saying and remained in his place; The dwarf soldiers around were also dazed and didn't know what to do.

In a hurry, the helpless dwarf guard picked up the head of the supreme king from the ground, took off the crystal inlaid crown from the frightened and ferocious face, and then buckled it on Igor's head.

"Huh?!"

Igor, who suddenly woke up, subconsciously touched his head, and his eyes fell on the "bare" head of the supreme king. He was immediately stunned: "what are you doing?"

"The king is dead!"

The captain of the guard stared at Igor's face, "bang!" and fell to his knees. Angry and determined flames gushed from his pupils and roared with all his strength:

"Long live the king!"

Igor was stunned. Before he could react, the guards gathered around him had knelt on one knee and roared with the flames from their chest:

"Long live the king -!!!! long live the king -!!!! long live the king -!!!"

In the cheers, the dwarf Igor, who was under the eyes of the crowd, raised his trembling hands, pressed the crystal crown on his head, stood in the pool of blood between the traitor and the king, turned his eyes to the chaotic city in the roar of the explosion, and subconsciously took a long and deep breath.

From this moment on, I will no longer be the great ceremonial officer of Yunling Kingdom, the loyal servant of the supreme king, and I no longer need to use the name of the supreme king to seize all power, because

I am the supreme king!

"Give orders to the defenders of the city gate and tell them to be ready to retreat - if the city gate is lost, be sure to destroy all urban defense weapons, burn all barriers and materials that can't be taken away, and don't leave any bricks and tiles to the traitors!"

Igor, the dwarf who finally calmed his mind, calmly issued his first royal order as the supreme King: "all troops should retreat to the street barrier at the first time, rely on the urban fortifications, and block the rebels entering the city step by step!"

"Enlist all the registered young adults and prepare to assemble near the square; open the warehouse, arm them all as reserve forces, stand by in front of the king's hall, and be ready to fight street battles with the traitors who burst into the city!"

"All the old, weak, women and children, and civilians who can't form combat effectiveness enter the tunnel to make room and roads for the army - they must all be driven in for refuge within two quarters of an hour!"

"The enemy's forces are concentrated in the north, and there is no offensive trend in the east-west direction? Well, enlist two-thirds of the defenders there into a new guerrilla Corps; once the enemy's offensive momentum is blocked, prepare to counter attack and regain the first line of defense!"

"Spies suspected of being traitors in the slum? Don't send troops. Let the engineers in the king's palace prepare. Directly aim the catapult and crossbow at there and set fire to burn the slum; it doesn't matter if the dead are dead. It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than one!"

"Are there any garrisons in the bottom tunnel? All of them are transferred out, and none of them are left - it has long been blocked by us and the traitors. He can't dig through the tunnel even if he has been digging for three days and nights; let all officers above the centurion of the Garrison Army assemble in the king's hall, and we accept their loyalty immediately!"

"The king's court guards in the king's hall asked for the attack slogan? Tell them: Yunling will last forever, long live the king!"

The iron green dwarf Igor continuously issued various orders to all the troops, calmly waved the power of the supreme king and mobilized all human and material resources in the cloud peak.

During the three-year civil war, Igor, the great ceremonial officer who bit by bit eroded the supreme King's power by relying on Bain's assistance and army, has now become an indisputable ruler - the assassination of the supreme king not only did not lead to chaos, but gave him the right to take the crown.

The next thing to do is to defeat the rebel attack in the shortest time, strive for the recognition of the northern city leaders loyal to the supreme king, become a real supreme king, and then end the long-time civil war.

As for the rebels who are about to break through the gate of yunfengfeng, Igor is not very worried - yunfengfeng is a very complex fortress. It not only has many lines of defense composed of multiple city walls, but also the streets and terrain in the city are extremely complex. It is difficult for large forces to launch, and small groups of troops will wipe out the ambushed defenders one by one.

Even if the enemy really broke out of the siege, tore up the defense line and attacked the city, the king's palace that is easy to defend but difficult to attack is not so easy to fall; Relying on the king's hall as the core position, the defeated defenders hidden in the fortresses, tunnels and walls of the city will launch an attack from behind the rebels attacking the city and catch them all.

Igor, who has a favorable location, can concentrate small mobile forces by taking advantage of the terrain without going out of the city for field operations, constantly form a situation of fighting more with less, and annihilate the rebels several times their own!

Barrier City, tunnel City, fortress city - this is the real strength of the cloud peak, and this is the real reason why it has not fallen for thousands of years!

"Igor... Your majesty, the garrison at the bottom tunnel has sent a message."

The hurried guard captain appeared behind the dwarf Igor and hurriedly changed his words: "when they evacuated the tunnel, they found two suspicious people."

"It's an extraordinary time. Let them deal with it by themselves!" Igor, who was very worried, snorted coldly: "what kind of waste are the officers of the garrison? We need to ask for instructions on this kind of thing!"

The captain of the guard lowered his head, said nothing, and showed no sign of leaving.

Igor frowned, slowly turned his head and looked at the captain of the guard who lowered his head and refused to speak: "I guess... The identities of those two people are unusual?"

Captain Wei with complex expression nodded solemnly.

……………………………………………………

"We retreat."

After seeing the abnormal direction of the cloud peak, the Demon Hunter... Or the night watchman Carl Colin immediately made the wisest judgment in his heart and decisively threw behind a recruit who had just almost fallen off the cliff.

"Retreat? We haven't got any information yet. Retreat now?!" Martin, the recruit, looked unidentified.

"Otherwise? Now the rebels have begun to launch a general offensive. In a quarter of an hour, we may be standing in one of the battlefields - do you want to stay here and be torn into meat sauce by heavy crossbows on both sides?!"

Carl Colin, who looked disgusted, turned his head and said sarcastically.

He's really fed up with these recruits - he has no common sense, no consciousness, and even doesn't know what his task is. His mind is full of blood and impulse like paste.

In addition to surpassing the wizard talent of ordinary people and being sensitive to the power of emptiness, their level is not even as good as the veterans of the first batch of Duke guard; No, if talent is eliminated, these guys can't compare with the last battlefield conscription after three months of training.

At least the conscripts will obey orders unconditionally, not like these guys... Arrogantly think that they can stop a war on their own!

"The Duke's order to us is to find out the murderer behind the war and investigate the truth of the spread of corrosion demons in Yunling kingdom." Martin, a recruit, clenched his fist and argued:

"There are still four days before the deadline. We haven't even got any useful information. We're leaving like this?!"

"The duke said, 'if you have a chance...', don't argue with me!" Carl Colin said coldly: "besides, now the battle of the cloud peak is imminent, you tell me where the chance is!"

"Of course there are opportunities!"

Martin, a recruit, raised his head and stared at the rising direction of the black smoke, as well as the "road of blood" directly under the smoke: "once the siege begins, everyone's goals will certainly focus on the wall defense and gate, and no one will notice the sealed tunnel network.

Although the tunnel is blocked and large-scale troops cannot pass through, one or two people can still use this opportunity to sneak into the cloud peak and meet the informant to find out the real culprit behind the civil war! "

Carl Colin was completely stunned.

At first, he only thought that the recruit named Martin was too naive, with a cavity of hot blood and a thick head; Now it seems that I really want to be simple; How can the chief executive who can pass the assessment of Dalton kand and be recognized by Captain Lucian be very "simple"?

This is a madman at all, and he is also a complete madman who doesn't even care about his life by any means in order to complete the task - he has the style of Captain Lucian!

The wide eyed recruits were still staring at him, silent, anxiously waiting for Carl Colin's reply.

He hesitated a little.

To be fair, what this recruit said is reasonable. During the war, the monitoring strength in the city will be greatly reduced. If you are lucky, you may really sneak into the cloud peak quietly taking advantage of the war; Just

Almost at the same time, the two demon hunters turned their heads and looked behind them, looking for them in the empty jungle.

Carl Colin narrowed his eyes vigilantly, pressed the hilt behind his shoulder with his right hand and made a gesture to the recruits on his side; The two quickly spread out on both sides and hid on the spot.

Half a minute later, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the jungle.

Heavy, messy, irregular, unstable.

Judging from the footsteps, it should be a dwarf, and the number should be only one or two... Clutching the handle of the half sword behind his shoulder, Carl Colin speculated in the dark.

But why does it sound so heavy and shaky... Is it hurt?

Confused Carl Colin looked up, but found that the recruits hiding opposite were looking at him in horror.

I see. Is it a Corruptor... That's not surprising.

The next second, with the sound of heavy and shaking footsteps, two fat figures the size of five heads came into their sight.

"Dang --!"

The long sword comes out of its sheath.

Two demon hunters swooped out of the dense forest with tacit understanding, making an elegant half arc on the left and right, and attacking the head of the rotten corpse demon at the same time.

Only by smashing or cutting off the head can the Corruptor stop acting - this is the top priority of repeated orders in the code of demon hunter on the wing of the sky.

"Poof --!"

Blood gushed and his head fell to the ground.

Everything is back to normal.

The startled recruits fell to the ground with a "puff", pale and panting violently. They didn't seem to have completely recovered from the excitement of the rest of their lives, and stared at the twitching "corpse" on the ground.

Carl Colin waved the plasma off the ridge of his sword and calmly looked at the dense forest behind him - corrosion demons are usually monsters of large-scale collective action. It is quite rare to be alone in three or two.

In other words, they only encounter two in a cluster, and more corrosion demons should be around, or even somewhere not far from them.

In that case, it's better to retreat as soon as possible... The intelligence for the investigation has been almost collected. If we wait any longer, there will be no new changes in the war.

Just as Carl Colin made up his mind, a rapid and dull voice suddenly sounded.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The two of them, almost at the same time, turned their eyes behind them and instinctively widened their eyes.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The same sound is clearer and closer!

Corrupting demons, like the demon army in the northern duanjie mountain, are monsters of large-scale collective action, and rarely fall alone

Carl Colin took a deep breath, protected the recruits behind him, twitched his throat and asked calmly:

"How many?"

"What, what?" the recruits were scared silly.

"How many Corruptors are there?"

"I don't know!"

The bloodless recruits shook their heads desperately, and the hands holding the sword trembled: "but... There should be a lot... A lot!"

"If only from the void reaction, at least... Thousands!!!!!"
