Chapter 149: Empty Valley
The team continues to move forward.
"Count Hadra." Barr turned his head and asked, "I wonder how much do you know about this mission?"
The mission of the Empire only said that it was to rescue the material transport team besieged by monsters, and there was little other information. Although he had arranged to float in the void, he could not get there in a short period of time. As the Earl of the Empire, Hadra was the commander of this mission, and perhaps he had more information than he did.
"I don't know much, I only know that the transport team was trapped in a valley on the west side of Mount Krama. There were about tens of thousands of monsters besieged them, but most of them were low-level monsters that were not advanced, so it was not worth worrying." Hadra laughed.
"Ten thousand monsters? I wonder how many soldiers there are in the transport team?" Barren asked.
"There are less than five hundred people, including about one hundred first-level professions and soldiers, and the rest are low-level professions and civilians." Hadra said.
"One hundred people, they may not be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of monsters, right?" Barr frowned. The transport team was trapped at the location of the Shimen Fortress hundreds of kilometers away. Although their progress was very fast, it would take some time to get there.
Five hundred pairs of tens of thousands?
The strength of the two sides is too great. Even if the soldiers of the transport team occupy the geographical advantage, they may not last long.
"Lord Bar doesn't have to worry. The transportation teams heading to the Shimen Fortress all carry special defense devices that can release the third-level guardian magic array. After activation, even if they are besieged by a large number of second-level monsters, it will be difficult to destroy in a short period of time, and there should be no problem." Hadra smiled.
"Well, that's good." Barr nodded.
"Although there are tens of thousands of monsters, they are very powerful. There are more than 4,000 advanced professionals and soldiers here. It is very easy to defeat them." Hadra said relaxedly.
"That's right." Barr also smiled.
......
As time passed, the group was getting closer and closer to their destination. Barr could vaguely hear the violent roar coming from a distance.
"Empty Valley."
On the hillside more than ten kilometers north of the valley, the team stopped.
"Why is it here?" Barr frowned slightly. Kongliu Valley was famous among the adventurers in his previous life.
This valley is very special. Some unstable spatial turbulence will appear randomly inside the valley. If objects collide on it, they will be randomly transmitted to other places.
Many adventurers who like adventure in their previous lives like to come here to try their luck.
I even heard that someone was teleported to other Big 6s, and a very small number of lucky people were teleported to undiscovered ruins, which gained considerable benefits. However, these space turbulences are extremely unstable and dangerous, and the chance of accidents during the teleportation process is very high. Most adventurers either die in the space turbulences or are teleported to some Jedi, and die.
Because of this danger, the indigenous people would not come here at all, and only those adventurers who can be resurrected after death dare to come and gamble for their lives.
Barr has only one life now, and he really doesn't want to take risks in such places. You should know that although space turbulence usually appears deep in the valley, a very small number of them appear around the valley entrance. If you are not lucky, it will be a big trouble.
"How come there are so many monsters?" Hadra frowned.
Above the mouth of Kongliu Valley, a huge golden energy shield was shrouded in a huge golden energy shield. The dense monsters were attacking wildly. The energy shield fluctuated violently from time to time, and it seemed that it could not last long.
Hadra glanced at the young tiger man next to her with an ugly expression.
There are so many monsters outside the valley now. If the Taurus lord chose to leave in fear, then his plan could be carried out. And according to the current situation, it is still a matter of whether they can enter the valley.
"This..." The young man from Tiger Man was also a little surprised. He obviously just arranged his subordinates to attract 10,000 or 20,000 monsters, but now the number has increased by more than ten times.
Barr turned his eyes toward the front of the valley, and his color changed slightly.
When he saw that the number of monsters gathered in front of the valley was probably less than 200,000, of which there were tens of thousands of advanced monsters alone. Moreover, the void floating above the valley, and You even saw two leader-level monsters at the entrance of the valley.
One of them is a leader-level thunderbird, and he has never seen the other insect monster, but he doesn't have to think about it and know that no monster that can reach the leader-level is easy to mess with.
fine...
Because there are gathering areas for low-level monsters nearby, there are not many high-level monsters gathered, and there are only a dozen monsters above level 100.
"Two sirs, what should we do next?" asked the young tiger man next to him carefully.
"There are so many monsters ahead. If we attack rashly, even if we win, we may suffer heavy losses." Asa said on the side.
"Earl Hadra, what do you think?" Barr turned around and asked. The commander of this operation was Hadra, and the opponent's troops accounted for most of the troops, so he naturally had to seek the opponent's opinions first.
"Although there are many monsters in front, most of them are not of high level. Although it is difficult for us to defeat them, it is not a big problem to break out a way to rush into the valley." Hadra said calmly, "The entrance to the valley is very narrow, and there is a guardian magic circle to block it. As long as we enter the valley, we will occupy the geographical advantage."
"Only guarding the valley entrance, no matter how many monsters there are outside, it is not worth worrying."
"It is naturally good to be able to enter the valley, but the valley mouth is so narrow that if our troops cannot enter it in time, they will be surrounded by monsters, which is too risky." Although Hadra said calmly, Barr was not very optimistic.
The narrow valley mouth is conducive to good defense, but it also limits the degree to which the troops enter the valley. Once they cannot enter the valley in time, the team behind will be besieged by monsters, and they may suffer heavy losses.
Unlike Count Hadra.
His Hailan Town has just been established, and its troops are insufficient. The life of every soldier is very precious to him. He does not want to lose his only power here.
"This Taurus is too cautious. Fortunately, he still has the strength of the leader, so he is actually scared by some low-level monsters." Hadra secretly annoyed in his heart. The Taurus has always been famous for being reckless and irritable, and is warlike, but the young Taurus in front of him is obviously not among them.
"Lord Barr is right. But as the lords of the empire, if we flee without fighting, it would be ridiculous to say it. I am afraid that the faces of your Taurus clan will not be shining." Hadra vaguely reminded.
"The task must be completed naturally, but this method..."
Looking at the terrain around the valley, Barr soon appeared a small hill several kilometers away from the east side of the valley. The mountain is hundreds of meters high and has a large slope. There are almost vertical cliffs on both sides of the southeast. Only from the northwest side can you climb up, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Barr changed his tone and said, "I wonder how many weapons the Count brought to us that can operate long-range attacks in a large range, and how many mage pros in the team are there."
"Orthals and mages?"
Hadra was puzzled, but she said, "I only carried three small earth spear projectors this time, and there were only a dozen mages."
He originally thought that only 10,000 or 20,000 monsters he needed to deal with this time, so he brought almost all melee professionals with strong assault ability. As for those large magic weapons, disassembly and transported them were very complicated, so he didn't bring them with him.
Following Barr's gaze, Hadra also reacted, "Lord Barr is not planning to defend the mountain, right?"
"The two of our soldiers are basically melee professions. If they are guarded by the mountain and do not have the support of the long-range profession, they will immediately become a war of attrition. There are many of these monsters with long-range attack capabilities. If we gather together, we will be hit by their concentrated attacks, and the situation will be difficult to deal with." Hadra shook his head, and the young people just like to take it for granted.
"Don't worry, Count, my soldiers are not all melee professionals."
Barr smiled and whispered a few times near Hadra.
"Oh, ectopic creatures from the mechanical race can switch between humanoids and mechanical forms." Hadra said in surprise.
"No," Barr nodded.
Ectopic creatures are not uncommon in the Land world. Many contracted creatures of summoner hands have summoned creatures from the ectopic plane, and their abilities are also strange. Of course, there are also many intelligent creatures of ectopic planes that enter the main world through special methods. One of the wives of Andre III, the king of the Kingdom of Dolan, is from the ectopic plane.
