Shaman from Afar

Cloud peak.

This is a name without exaggeration and over-retouching.

The towering mountain peaks straight into the sky, the clouds of the kings' palace on the top of the mountain are shrouded in clouds, and they will not disperse all year round; under the unparalleled construction technology of the dwarves of the Yunling Kingdom, the ghostly peak of the cloud has become a huge and three-dimensional fortress.

The most important thing is that she is not like a human city or palace. It is a product used to show the power of the king and boast of the wealth and strength of the kingdom, but it has very important economic and military values.

The Kingdom of Yunling, located between mountains and hills, needs to rely on a huge network of underground tunnel systems to connect each city-state and ultimately form a whole; and Yunfeng Peak is the hub of this transportation network.

As long as the peak of the cloud is controlled and the tunnel is not blocked or destroyed, the Supreme King of the Yunling Kingdom can put his army loyal to him into the battlefield near any fortress at any time, and can also deploy the entire Yunling in the shortest time. The kingdom's manpower, material and financial resources are used by him.

Describe it in the words described by the human business traveler who visited the kingdom of Yunling-transporting a basket of ripe pears from the northernmost dwarf city-state to the southernmost part, which is still fresh and covered with dew.

At the same time, she is also a huge and extremely strong mountain fortress; the huge mountain is its surrounding "walls" and "moat", the real "city gate" is hidden in the valley; the narrow mountain trails and towering sides The rocky cliffs constitute the "blood road" leading to the gate.

In other words, any force as long as it controls Yunfeng Peak can be absolutely invincible; on the other hand, any force that wants to seize the highest power of the Yunling Kingdom will be their first goal. It must be.

It is like a throne made of gold, a crown made of crystal; always coveted, always watched ...

Igor Servilastov, the high court's chief gift officer, is standing next to the stone masonry railing, looking at the mountains where he can't see the end.

Behind him is the palace of kings dying like a grave, surrounded by clouds and fog-the power center of the Yunling Kingdom, the residence of the Supreme King, should have been filled with whirlpools of power for conspiracy and conspiracy, never like Quiet like now.

In this mountainous city at his feet, there is a completely different "landscape".

The heavily armed dwarf warriors lined up neatly on the empty stone masonry road; the iron boots trampled on the collision between the stone slab and the metal armor, making a harsh sound, and the rapid whistle and horn sound were also mixed The officers' orders and shouts.

Almost every intersection in the street has temporary piled fortresses, and large and small monitoring towers are all over the field of vision. They are installed like chess pieces in all the key corners of the town; all buildings above three floors have been transformed Became a small station.

And near the square in the center of the town, the dwarves who had been busy for a whole day carried the shovel on the construction site and the hammer in the workshop, carrying the rice pots in the size of flower pots, and lining the long dragons that slowly creeped, from the crowded people. "Distribution station" to collect food.

The civil war, which lasted for three years, turned this prison-like city into a city-like prison.

In this capital city under siege by rebels, all residents must live under the strictest surveillance to guard against the intrusion of enemy spies or any traitors who are not loyal to the Supreme King; all food and daily necessities are confiscated, Only after completing the work that has been formulated and issued can we receive enough food rations.

But these have not actually shaken the foundations of this ancient fortress-for dwarves, such a "rule of domination" is really the norm that should be; let alone three years, it is 13 years, 30 years, a lifetime, As long as Yunfeng Peak is not breached and the order of **** is still there, they can stick to it forever.

"Igor."

As the footsteps approached, the owner of this aging and tired voice gently pressed the shoulder of the grand lieutenant, so that the dwarf Igor was shocked, bowing in fear and sincerity: "His Majesty the King-!"

"Don't be so restrained, there are only you and me here." The eyes of the dwarf supreme king are ancient and quiet: "It won't take long for you to be the supreme king of all Yunling people."

"Don't dare--!" The dwarf Igor lowered his head deeper.

"It has nothing to do with whether you dare or not. This is the right and obligation entrusted to you by the Serviera Stover family." The Supreme King waved his hand, and seemed to disagree with his respect:

"What's more, now that you are in control of the army, have you reached an agreement with the Duke Byrne, aren't you already the ruler of Yunfeng?"

The dwarf Igor, who bowed his head, said nothing, and did not dare to speak out of the atmosphere.

Looking at the humbly gifted official, the Supreme King had no interest in continuing this dialogue, and turned his attention to the fortress in the distant cloud summit:

"How is the city defense going, have the rebels not given up yet?"

"Is such that!"

Hearing the Supreme King changed the subject and wiped the cold sweat dwarf Igor immediately replied: "Three years of war, not only us, they also have come and go-either persevere, or surrender, no first Three ways can go. "

"As long as Yun Pin still stands, half of the Yunling Kingdom will still be your loyal people; so even if they are reluctant, they must first capture the strongest and most unlikely fortress in history!"

That's right, this is the situation right now.

The rebels knew that the Supreme King as the ruler of the Yunling Kingdom would never surrender. They also knew how indestructible Yun Pinnacle was. No sensible person could make a frontal attack on this fortress as the first goal.

But they had no choice, because once the troops were withdrawn, the Supreme King could calmly gather the army of the northern dwarf fortresses, encircle and suppress any of them, and quickly dispatch troops with a huge tunnel network system to destroy them one by one.

This is the advantage of sitting on the top of the cloud, and this is the reason why they must besiege this fortress, otherwise they are not opponents of the Supreme King at all.

So Igor the dwarf is not worried-although the party under siege is now himself, it is the rebels who are actually under pressure; as long as the city is kept, victory is only a matter of time.

You can even use this opportunity to thoroughly clear the city leaders who are unfaithful to the Supreme King in the south, and at the same time deter the Yunling people who are half-hearted in the north. Little girl making a big talk.

Whenever I think of Charlotte Turin, I am so arrogant and rude to myself in the round-table hall of the Red Blood Castle, Igor can't help biting his teeth; but he has to swallow his teeth and seek worship Grace's assistance.

"... For this reason, this war is an unsustainable battle for Yunfeng; those reptiles who think they can challenge you and our family status are not enough except for the number. "The dwarf Igor is respectful and talks eloquently:

"Three years have exhausted all their manpower, material and financial resources, and at the same time have completely lost the courage at the beginning of the rebellion. There is simply no more power to continue this war; even if one or two gates are breached The fortress can't hurt the foundation of Yunfeng Peak! "

"And I am also convinced that under the wise leadership of the Supreme King, the united people of Yunling will definitely defeat those evil and humble people; we will let them see themselves with iron order and absolute stability. of……"

"boom--!!!!"

Before the dwarf Igor finished his speech, there was a dull explosion in the distance. There was already thick smoke near the square distribution station surrounded by fire, and the hustle and bustle went straight!

"Run, the distribution station was blown up!"

"Rebels are coming in, coming in--!"

"Don't run! Stabilize emotions, stabilize emotions, ah (screaming trampled)-!"

"Army, where is the army, come and maintain order--!"

"Run, the guard has been killed--!"

The panic-stricken crowd, horrible and disturbing sounds, shattered the just-stabilized order in an instant!

It seems that this kind of movement is not enough to be "lively". Just as the riots occurred in the square, the surrounding monitoring towers were also turning into a fire column in the thick smoke, and the guards who were all lit by the fire were miserable. Calling to jump from the top of the collapsed tower.

The dwarves who were still orderly in front of the distribution station, so quiet that they could only hear footsteps and the sound of taking food, instantly became a group of flies without heads and lunatics who only knew to yell and utterly had no direction. .

Regardless of the location away from the sound of the explosion, desperate to run in the direction that he thinks is safe, desperately shouting, and desperately pushing down the dwarf in front of him, and then being pushed by the dwarf behind him Step on yourself.

The burning roar, the miserable cry, the chaotic commotion, these ...

"It's just some small accidents. I deliberately released some tricks to lure those traitors out; I assure you that all of these are within my expectations!"

It seems that because of the promise made just now, I turned around and was slapped in the face of the Supreme King. The dwarf Igor Tieqing's face was ugly to the extreme:

"In a quarter of an hour, these little disturbances will be over!"

At the same time as the words fell, several dwarf troops on patrol had quickly appeared near the square, all around.

The large and small temporary fortresses in the streets quickly blocked the alleys. The dwarves carrying shields and halberds reloaded the soldiers, and blocked all exits near the streets and squares with the shield wall; holding a crossbow, carrying The crossbowmen of the crossbow arrows were divided into two batches; the main force was behind the shield wall, and the rest climbed up to the nearest surveillance tower nearby.

The sudden emergence of the army does not seem to stop the turbulent and uneasy crowd, especially when there are conspirators who take advantage of the cholera, screams and confusion make the dwarves instinctively run straight ahead.

"The crossbowmen are ready to-- shoot-!!!!!!"

Under the cold command of the officer, the dwarf soldiers pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In an instant, the squeaky bow string sounds endlessly!

After the first round of crossbow arrows, the dwarf civilians who rushed to the front fell like wheat, the blood spewed out and the screams of screams, the ruthless arrows continued, roaring into panic. Among the crowd.

After another scream of screams and blood screams, I finally realized that the dwarf civilians stopped and turned to escape in the direction of the square; but the crossbowmen still did not stop, still pouring their Arrows.

"The shield wall is ready-, move forward-!!!!!!"

There was another emotionless shout. The dwarf heavy infantry who blocked the street connected the shields, straddled their halberds, and stepped neatly, advancing towards the fleeing crowd.

Blood fluttered in the panicking crowd, screaming resounded through the square.

The dwarves who cooperated with the tacit understanding of the heavy infantry were really like a "wall" that would bite the flesh, squeezed into the crowd regardless of the place; there was nothing but the remains of the bottom of their feet Left.

After a quarter of an uproar, the square finally recovered its quietness and peace.

A dark red dwarf officer stepped on the white stone masonry steps, kneeled down in front of the dwarf Igor, and hung it heavily on his chest with his right hand:

"His Majesty the Supreme King, Your Honorable Lord, all the rebels have been cleared, please give instructions!"

"Very good, sir, the people of the Yunling Kingdom express their heartfelt thanks for your due diligence at such a critical juncture." The dwarf Igor nodded and could not help but frown slightly when he saw the other's appearance :

"Wait ... are you not the commander of this army?"

"Yes, the former commander has sacrificed heroically during the last commotion, and his subordinate is the next; before the new commander takes over, he will temporarily take charge of the command!"

"Very good, what award do you hope to receive?"

"If you don't give up, I hope that you can get a personal award from His Majesty the King-for Yunling people, there is nothing more honorable than this."

After hesitating for a second, the dwarf Igor turned around, waving his hands to disperse his guards on both sides-even if he had gained power and became the actual ruler of the summit of the cloud ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ at the highest Before the death of the king, the other party was still the supreme leader of the Yunling Kingdom.

However, at the moment of turning around and letting go, the dwarf officer kneeling on the ground suddenly got up and pressed a right hand against his chest to pull a sharp blade from his armpit.

"It's an assassin, stop him—!"

But it was too late.

Frightened, the dwarf Igor, surrounded by guards, screamed from the ears of the High King to the heartbreaking.

A round and spherical object has flown into the air with the spurting plasma;

The assassin wielding a sharp blade was shot into a sieve by the surrounding guards with a heavy crossbow;

Surrounded by a group of guards, two twitching bodies continually squirted plasma, flowing along the gap between the masonry; the bright red color on the white floor, unusually dazzling.

The dwarf Igor, who had a blank brain, was still standing still, letting the blood plasma soak in the bottom of his boots; so that the roar of the city gate being broken in the distance was not even noticed.
