This should have been the best time to sound the clarion call for counterattack, but instead it became a time for everyone to silently accumulate strength.
In fact, looking at it from another perspective, there is no guarantee that the forces on any front can penetrate the demon coalition. Only by integrating all the forces together and coordinating attacks from multiple aspects, and defeating the demon coalition at the expense of others, can victory be achieved.
possible.
Since there is no fight, the human side is happy to have more preparation time and gather more troops.
According to the intelligence, the abyss door in the center of the demon-occupied area is fully opened. This means that there are no restrictions on the entry and exit of ordinary demons. In other words, the war potential of the demons is the entire abyss.
As for where the orcs came from, no one wants to delve into this question. The separation between the surface world and the underground world of Mystery is not as clear as the separation between Mystery and the abyss.
Maybe the caves in the mountains will lead to the underground world if you go deeper. Otherwise, the residents of the underground world can always dig up to the surface world by digging hard above their heads.
However, the underground world is not like the surface, where you can travel around without hindrance.
The underground world is divided into many isolated areas. The only way to communicate with each other is through teleportation magic, or by man-made passages. However, the latter is time-consuming and laborious, and the passages may not be maintained for a long time.
Therefore, it is not difficult for well-informed people or kings of various countries to know the origin of this group of orcs who are mixed with demons. Which tribe of orcs can come out of this area?
】
Of course, they are several orc tribes headed by the Fire Ax clan, who love the art of explosion. Since their origins are clear, they have a good idea of their number, areas of expertise, etc.
The only thing that worries people is how many women were captured by the demon alliance in the early stages of the war? These women have the opportunity to become the seedbed for orc reproduction.
The gestation period and growth period of orcs are quite short. If it really drags on for a few years, and it is placed on the heads of kings of various countries, the data in the intelligence about orcs will have to be read several times.
For such a war, if it can be resolved quickly, I believe no one will be willing to delay it.
But the reality is that when the Gate of the Abyss was discovered, the alliance between demons and orcs had already become a reality. In comparison, the response of the human side was not only slow, but also made mistakes in decision-making, which led to things taking a more serious turn.
Bad direction tilt.
Therefore, in the minds of some people in power who have a far-sighted vision, they expect that this will be a protracted and time-consuming war. Even... it is not impossible that the Lost Land will fall. Everything depends on the intensity of the Abyss side's invasion.
In an instant, a war that was supposed to be in full swing fell into an inexplicable calm. The turbulent waves turned into invisible undercurrents. The kings of various countries had their own plans. Even the emperors of the empire also had their high talents.
Questions to think about.
However, there was a question that flashed through most people's minds, but it didn't stay long before it was overridden by more realistic questions that were right in front of them. And the original question was, how did the door to the abyss open?
There are many possibilities for the opening of the gate of the abyss, some are man-made, some are natural evolution, but the process has always been gradual. Even if a gap suddenly appears in a corner of a certain mountain, between the land and the abyss, and this gap
Also slowly converting into a portal.
However, in the process of such a transformation, there will also be many signs that remind people to pay attention. These include demonic characteristics of monsters and ordinary beasts, abnormal drying and death of large areas of plants, and mutations in newborns and cubs.
The adventurers who explore everywhere actually have a considerable function, which is to monitor places where the glory of this civilization cannot shine. They don't just go somewhere to fight and kill, eat and drink and live their lives.
Such a function does not necessarily have an exclusive reconnaissance mission. Sometimes it is included in other commissioned missions, because the situation reported to the place along the way is recorded by the Adventurer's Guild.
Integrating this information may not cover the entire land, but most areas have been monitored.
Someone's forum monitoring system named "True Listen" was actually implemented earlier. It was just that it was done in a different way, and the efficiency and difficulty were not ideal.
If the naturally-occurring Gate of the Abyss wants to remain undiscovered and grow to the level of the gate in front of us, it would even make the Demon Alliance prepare for the early war. This kind of thing is theoretically impossible to happen.
In addition, the location where this door opens is not an inaccessible and remote area.
Perhaps the size of the nearby human gathering place is not large. But a large group of living people really didn't notice the abnormality, so they just let the gate of the abyss grow to the point where the demons can cross the border and kill them all?
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that this door is man-made, which makes it possible to grow explosively in a short period of time. It also allows the devil to be prepared and start to gather troops and find allies as soon as it can cross the realm.
It can even be reasonably suspected that there is a mysterious 'traitor' behind this whole thing, a mastermind behind the scenes.
However, even if someone thinks of this issue, it will be put aside. The devil is killing you right in front of you. Does it make sense to find out who is behind the scenes? Even if you really find that person and kill him, you can change the situation.
status quo?
The threat of demons already exists, and the gate to the abyss has been opened. Maybe after all this is dealt with, it will make sense to investigate how all of this happened.
Isn’t it troublesome enough to pursue the matter now? Is it possible that by blowing up this “person” who can’t be dealt with? Is it possible that there will be unpredictable consequences? Even if those who are interested are looking for the answer to this question, they will be cautious and secretive.
As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes has other conspiracies to cause greater harm to the Lost Land?
This is the invasion of the abyss, and the Lost Land is preparing to fight a plane war with the abyss. What will be the 'greater harm'? If there is really an answer to this question, it will arouse the interest of knowledgeable people.
Directly blowing up the lost land? This is not in the interests of the devil.
Lead the demons to conquer the Lost Land and become a new generation of demon king?
The Abyss itself is in chaos, but the demons in the Lost Land will work together?
Not to mention that there are Orcs around. In the underground world, betrayal and conspiracy are commonplace. Whoever wants to kill this Demon King must first deal with the Demons and Orcs, two professional backstabbers.
Thousands of years ago, the demon king used to conquer the Lost Lands as an army of the undead without strong subjective consciousness.
However, the Laughing Demon is in chaos, and so is the human side.
In this war, the most critical attitude of the Sulitang Empire was ambiguous, and several wrong decisions were made as if they were for nothing. The empire's Khan has colluded with the devil, which is what most people are worried about, but they dare not question what he said.
.
Now, the demon coalition's suspended offensive has given the human side some breathing space. There are troops guarding the east, west, and south in the three directions in which the demon coalition can attack.
Unless the demons climb over the mountains to the north and surprise the Khan of the Suli Tang Empire, no matter which side they attack, they will hit the defense line run by the human side.
Although the current strength of the defense line may not necessarily be able to withstand the full attack of the demon coalition. But as long as it can be delayed and subsequent support is provided to prevent the demons from spreading like a flood, everyone is still confident.
Besides, armies from the other two directions may also take advantage of the situation and reduce the pressure on the defensive direction. This kind of tacit understanding does not need to be discussed in advance.
As long as something happens, relying on the speed of transmitting information through the forum, the armies of the other two sides will be suppressed by the people below, even if the top leaders don't want to take action and just want to wait for a fight to cause both sides to suffer losses.
Fighting demons is the most important thing in the world. The only reason why I don't go up to fight is that I am not completely prepared. I may waste my life but cannot kill a demon. This is purely a loss-making business. But if there is a chance to take advantage of it, who can
Tolerate?
But the reality is that nothing happened. Everyone is still gathering strength.
For the human side, follow-up support continues to arrive, and the defensive power becomes more and more abundant. If it continues to grow, the time for counterattack will come.
What is puzzling is, what are the demons waiting for? Are they waiting for more demon armies to come out of the gate of the abyss?
According to most people's thinking, the best way to fight the coalition of demons and orcs that has already arrived is the Lord of the Abyss. It is for the Lord to lead an army to charge. It will definitely be overwhelming, no matter where it hits, it will break.
But this kind of combat method is impossible for those who really have contact with the high-level people. The Lord of the Abyss dares to show off his power in the Mysterious Land. It is really impossible for the gods of the Mysterious Land to be vegetarians.
Even in a duel, few gods are sure to defeat an Abyss Lord, but this is the home ground of the gods of the Lost Lands. Even with the firewall of the Guardian Lord, the gods cannot come in person. But things change.
The Abyss Lord can also be sent back to his hometown by beating him.
Even if the good gods are not enough, the evil gods will come to join in. Who said that everyone was the hero of the post-dark age. Everyone worked hard to bring out the current situation in the world, not just to give it to the devil.
And the Lord of Guardians hasn’t shown up yet! The true strongest man in the land hasn’t taken action yet.
It's just that compared to the overt confrontation outside, the treacherous situation where all parties are playing tricks on each other secretly. There is also another drama going on in the big mansion in the holy city of Estali.
Although Rowan and Kish did not escape the attack of the pursuers in the end, the orc team that caught up immediately was no match for them. By the time the demons wanted to take action, they were already beyond their reach.
But Ezio, who took the initiative to back up and intercept, was treated completely differently. The demon heads that he regarded as important evidence were replaced one by one. What was finally delivered to the counter of the Adventurer's Guild was a big demon head.
's head.
In exchange, although he kept the two legs he used to escape, his left hand was gone. The hidden sword was also destroyed, but the blade ground by Dragon Teeth was not so easily destroyed, and was still rescued by Ezio.
In other words, if he hadn't rescued the Dragon Tooth Blade, he might not have been so seriously injured. But if he hadn't retrieved the Dragon Tooth Blade, he might not have been able to escape the disaster in the future.
The right ear is gone; although the right eyeball is still there, a terrible scar that almost cuts open the head runs through it, making it impossible to retain a trace of vision. There is a cut on the left cheek from the corner of the mouth, which looks like it has been there all the time.
Grinning all the time.
I won’t mention the countless scars all over Ezio’s body.
