Doom Lord

The entire Gloomy Fortress took action in a very short period of time, and in less than a moment, warriors came out from the entrance of the cave one after another.

They all had puzzled expressions on their faces, wondering why Luofeng Town would suddenly issue such an order. But when they saw Cheng Yang standing at the entrance of the cave with a serious face, they knew that this matter might not be easy.

Sure enough, when he saw the first group of people coming out, Cheng Yang said, "The dark cave is no longer safe, and Haitian Village, which is about 50 kilometers southeast of us, has been occupied by a group of powerful orcs. We must move now and leave the Wucheng area, I hope you can cooperate. Of course, if you don’t want to leave, I won’t force you.”

"What is an orc?" someone in the crowd asked.

Cheng Yang said simply: "You can also regard them as demonized beasts. There is no time to explain so much now. If you are willing to leave, please leave immediately, and if you don't want to leave, please leave the fortress. Don't be crowded here. Otherwise , at your own risk.”

When it came to the end, Cheng Yang's face was a little gloomy, because he saw that many people were blocked behind these people.

These fighters were basically ordinary mercenaries in Wucheng City, so they naturally didn't dare to challenge Cheng Yang. Seeing Cheng Yang's expression changed, they immediately left the fortress quickly and walked northwest along the official road.

Although what Cheng Yang said just now was a bit unpleasant, but there was no one who did not move to Xiantao City along the official road.

Over the past few years, the strength of Luofeng Town has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Cheng Yang's personality charm has been implanted in the hearts of most fighters. In the current situation, they don't think Cheng Yang will deceive them. Since even Cheng Yang felt that the so-called orcs were very dangerous and needed to retreat. Naturally, they did not dare to rush forward to be heroes.

Those who came out first were all active in the dark cave near the entrance, but the cave is so big that it can't be completed in one or two hours. Some people paid their psionic energy points to enter the cave for better income, and then stayed there for a few days. And these people generally move to the depths of the cave. Now that the fortress guards are going to notify these people, it will naturally take a short time.

Cheng Yang didn't leave immediately, he first stood on the wall of the fortress, looking towards the southeast. He was worried that the orcs would suddenly attack this way and disrupt his retreat plan.

But after staying for a while, Cheng Yang found that standing on the fortress was not a wise move. Because the ground around the fortress is full of tall trees, if the orc team is careful, it's not easy for him to find it.

So, Cheng Yang gave Di Jian a few words and asked him to direct the people to retreat. Then Cheng Yang walked out of the fortress again and went into the jungle.

Cheng Yang didn't worry about other things. He was only worried about whether there were any units in the orc group that were responsible for long-distance reconnaissance. If the other party had the speed advantage of a war horse, the other party might start to investigate the situation outside soon.

It has only been more than two hours since the orcs appeared and occupied Haitian Village. They may not have gained a firm foothold in Haitian Village yet, and expansion may not be in a hurry.

But once the other party builds Haitian Village into their own territory. Finding out the surrounding situation has become an inevitable move.

Cheng Yang wandered around the dark fortress, but did not find any orcs for the time being, but he often saw some demonized beasts. He didn't pay much attention to it either. In the apocalypse, demonized beasts can be seen everywhere, what is there to pay attention to?

Seeing that there was not much to do for a while, Cheng Yang used the teleportation gem to mark a coordinate on the spot, and then returned to Luofeng Town.

He had given Tan Chao his sound-transmitting jade talisman just now, so he had to go back and get another one. In this critical period. If the information transmission is inconvenient, the consequences may be fatal.

It didn't take much time for Cheng Yang to get the sound transmission jade talisman. I just took a trip to the government affairs center, and then directly activated the teleportation gem to return to the surrounding area of ​​the dark fortress.

But at this moment. Cheng Yang discovered something that shocked him. Those demonized beasts that seemed to have just been refreshed and wandered around in place before moved, and their goal was very consistent, that is, the direction of the entrance of the dark cave.

Cheng Yang was very shocked at this moment. This situation is very similar to the use of magic beads in Tongling Village.

Could it be that there is something in the dark cave that attracts these demonized beasts?

Cheng Yang immediately denied this idea. If there were some kind of treasure in the dark cave, he should have shown it when he had just completed the land reclamation of the dark cave. But in the past half a month, the place has been calm.

Now when this incident suddenly appeared at the moment of the orc invasion, Cheng Yang couldn't help but suspect it to the orc.

At the same time, Cheng Yang thought of the scene he had seen in the area south of Wucheng City. Basically, there was not even a single demonized beast in that area.

Cheng Yang did not continue to stay where he was. Since these demonized beasts were all running towards the dark cave, it must be unsafe there. At that moment, Cheng Yang ran straight towards the dark cave without hesitation, and at the same time took out his voice transmission jade talisman, and sent a message to the intelligence station in Luofeng Town.

"Immediately ask Tan Chao to report the situation detected in Haitian Village, especially related to demonized beasts, and report back immediately."

After Cheng Yang lost contact, he was already standing under the Dark Fortress.

At this moment, demonized beasts were densely packed outside the dark fortress, and above the fortress, a large number of fighters were frantically attacking these demonized beasts.

The strength of these demonized beasts is only in the middle stage of the first order, even if they are a little bit stronger, they are only in the late stage of the first order. They can't even jump up the walls of the fortress. Many demonized beasts rushed here, as if they were just to be attacked by these warriors. Those who kill the general.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be evildoers. The demonized beasts will not rush to the bottom of the fortress for no reason, let alone run to die for no reason. Now that it happened, it means that there must be something wrong behind it.

It's just that the fighters on the fortress didn't think about this, even if they thought about it, there was no other way to choose except to stand above the fortress and fight.

With a run-up, Cheng Yang jumped onto the city wall more than five meters high, and quickly found Di Jian who was directing the battle on the city wall, and said, "Why didn't they continue to retreat, but came to the city wall to continue fighting?"

Di Jian smiled wryly and said, "Lord, my subordinates don't know what's going on. Those demonized beasts outside rushed over like crazy. These warriors are not members of our Luofeng Town army. See The demonized beasts stayed at the bottom of the city wall like this, and they all rushed up to attack when they felt that there was something to be gained, and their subordinates couldn't persuade them. Moreover, although the demonized beasts rushing over were not strong, some of them had Guys with climbing ability still have a certain impact on the fortress, and we also need some combatants. Now almost all of us have entered the dark cave, so..."

Di Jian didn't say anything later, but Cheng Yang could understand it, and said immediately: "It's not your fault, you go to the fighters to gather some personnel, and the ones left must be at least high-level apprentice-level fighters." , As for the middle-level ones, let them be transferred. Moreover, there should not be too many people left behind, no more than five hundred people."

Di Jian immediately took the order and went down.

Cheng Yang's order was very timely, and the number of fighters standing on the wall is close to 2,000. Taking this fortress with a length and width of less than 300 meters as an example, 2,000 people squeezed on it is completely full. And the people behind saw that there were so many demonized beasts waiting to be slaughtered outside, and they all rushed forward frantically. If this situation is not stopped, maybe without the attack of demonized beasts or orcs, human beings will have conflicts.

Cheng Yang himself immediately threw himself into the battle. His ice thorn skill was a super move for those demonized beasts below, killing them all in one instant.

But Cheng Yang didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. On the contrary, as there were more and more demonized beasts around him, his uneasiness became more and more intense.

Soon, Di Jian ran over again and said, "Lord, the matter has been arranged. I have appointed a squadron of fortress guards to guard the exit of the cave. The gate leaves the fortress. However, the scale of the demonized beasts on the north gate is also quite large. Although there are continuous attacks by fighters on the wall, they still block that section of the official road airtight. If the fighters do not form At a certain scale, it’s hard to get out from there.”

Cheng Yang made a decisive decision and said, "Go and choose ten fortress guards, preferably magicians who have learned how to burst flames, and come out of the city to fight with me."

Di Jian immediately said: "Lord, this is not safe, in case the orcs..."

Cheng Yang said: "Don't worry, even if there are orcs, can't I still see them? As long as there are not a large number of orc masters, there will be no great threat to me. Now we don't know if we can get in this fortress." As long as you persist, you can save as many people as you can."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yang walked towards the north gate of the fortress, which was also one of the only two exits of the fortress.

After Cheng Yang arrived at the gate of the fortress, he directly asked someone to open the gate of the fortress, and then threw out an ice spike skill.

His current ice spike skill has been upgraded to level 3, the coverage area has also expanded to an area with a diameter of six meters, and the damage has also increased from 55% to 60%. The effect is not the same as before.

Dozens of demonized beasts at the gate of the city were killed by Cheng Yang's attack, and then more demonized beasts rushed up. There was no fear in their eyes, only the madness when they saw the city gate open.

In just a little more than a second, Cheng Yang's ice spike skill was activated again, emptying the space that was just full.

This is not because the cooling time of the skill is reduced after the skill is raised, but because Cheng Yang's attack speed has reached more than 60 points, and the cooling time of the skill is naturally reduced by more than 60%, which greatly improves Cheng Yang's combat effectiveness.
