Immediately, Duke City immediately dispatched a team of ten thousand people and rushed to the rear to check the situation.
Nagus concluded that Narant and others who were dead were already on their way back to the small town.
However, their return speed was several times slower than when they fled.
After all, although a group of mounts got a short rest, it does not mean that they have fully recovered.
In order to prevent the mount from continuing to invest and being unable to participate in the war later, they petitioned to slow down the pace.
And everyone just took this opportunity to take a short rest.
"This time I got the bones of the bone dragon. When I meet the dragons, I should be able to exchange them for a few drops of dragon blood!"
Nalant lay leisurely on the carriage, but his eyes were looking at another human continent that was getting closer and closer to the Holy Continent.
Before leaving the col, he did not abandon the huge keel.
Instead, he was directly loaded into storage.
Speaking of which, this also cost Nalant a lot of magic and mental energy.
If it hadn't been for yesterday's wave of replenishing a large amount of kiwi fruits, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to put the bone dragon in it.
Of course, this is also due to the peculiar characteristics of storage space, that is, its internal space is not static.
Instead, it can be changed according to the shape of the items stored in Nalant.
In this way, the effectiveness of storage space can be maximized.
This is also a special ability of space magicians.
Those space rings and other personal items cannot do this.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant also felt a little tired from today's battle, and then he closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
At this rate, it would take at least two days to return to the small town, and they had only set out for half a day, so they still had two days to travel.
However, just when Narant thought they could return to the small town calmly, unexpected situations occurred again.
"My lord, my lord!"
Narant, who was taking a nap, was directly shaken awake by Shirley.
As Nalant opened his eyes, he saw the little Loli looking anxious.
"What's wrong, Shirley?"
Nalant sat up immediately. Apparently, the little Loli discovered another emergency situation.
"Sir, the Swift Eagle and the Bees have discovered dark creatures again!"
"Another dark creature was discovered. Where is its location and how many are there!" Nalant immediately frowned. The dark creature that made the little Loli so anxious was obviously not a wandering existence.
Sure enough, the next moment, the little Loli said: "Sir, the dark creatures reported by Swift Eagle and Bee are now more than twenty miles away from us. Their direction is in the southwest, and their number... seems to be larger than those who chased us yesterday.
There are many times more dark creatures."
"However, because there are many gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats among the dark creatures, Swift Eagle and Bee immediately returned to report after discovering the situation."
Because of what the small town had learned the day before yesterday, Nalant specially asked Shirley to step up patrols on his way back, and did not feel bad that Swift Eagle and Bee would be eliminated by dark creatures.
Therefore, today's enemy situation was discovered twenty miles in advance.
And Narant was very happy that he was so cautious.
Because there were many times more dark creatures besieging them today than yesterday, and they were definitely not something they could deal with now.
As for the southwest direction, that is the direction of the hinterland of the Death Land.
Obviously, the dark creatures are really preparing to outflank the alliance's retreat.
After understanding the situation, Nalant immediately called for the copper hammer and the female elf.
"What, there are actually dark creatures, and their number is several times greater than the group yesterday!"
When Tongchui heard Nalant's announcement, the original joy on his face immediately faded away.
"Yes, obviously the dark creatures we destroyed yesterday were just the vanguard, and these dark creatures are probably the follow-up troops!" Nalant nodded.
"Baron Nalant, what should we do now? Should we continue to the small town?"
"It is necessary for us to go to the small town!" Nalant thought solemnly for a moment and gave his answer.
However, after a pause, he continued: "But, even if we arrive in the small town, I'm afraid we may not be able to endure it this time."
"Baron Nalant, then why do we still go..." The dwarf Bronze Hammer was a little confused.
"The reason why the dark creatures took the lead in attacking the small town was not only to block the coalition's retreat, but also the most important reason was because there was a massive amount of supplies in the town. As long as these supplies were available, the coalition could continue to hold on for a long time even if they were trapped."
"So, even if the town is lost, this batch of supplies cannot be lost because it is very important."
"Although we can't defend the small city, we can transfer the materials in the city."
"The dark creatures are still on the road. Their speed is not faster than ours, so we need to get ahead of them to take out the supplies in the small city."
"Yes, although we can't defend the town, we can move the materials in the town!" The dwarf Bronze Hammer nodded immediately.
"Then, let's start taking action immediately!" Seeing that Bronze Hammer had no objection, Nalant immediately suggested.
"Okay, Baron Narante!"
Immediately, the team of Nalant and others speeded up and headed towards the small town.
This time, they no longer cared about whether their mounts would be overdrawn, they just hoped to rush to the small town as quickly as possible and then try to evacuate the supplies.
Next, Nalant and others only spent a day arriving at the small town.
When they returned to the small town, there were still some low-level dark creatures wandering around the city.
However, without the existence of high-level dark creatures and dark bone dragons, these little miscellaneous fish are simply vulnerable.
They were easily wiped out by Nalant and others.
And because the army of dark creatures was eager to pursue Nalant and others the day before, it did not cause much damage to the materials in the city.
"Baron Nalant, all supplies are in good condition!"
"Then let's start. Load all the supplies onto the carriage. If there are not enough horses to pull the goods, then connect the carriage to my magic carriage!"
"We don't have much time, only half a day at most!"
Immediately, everyone, including Nalant's subordinates, began to move supplies frantically.
Because these materials were temporarily stored, in order to facilitate transportation, many goods were placed on the original carriages and were not moved down.
This is convenient for Narant and others, as they don't need to reload.
However, due to the city's destruction the night before, there were still additional troubles.
That is, there were originally many horses used to pull goods in the small town.
But most of these horses were killed in attacks by dark creatures.
Only a few were lucky enough to escape the killings of dark creatures because they were placed in stone houses.
However, this number is only less than one-third of the original amount.
In this way, there was a large gap in the number of horses to pull the goods, and in the end the dwarves and elves had to use their respective mounts to pull these carriages.
These long-distance horses have actually reached their critical point and are likely to collapse at some point.
However, they don't care about so much, and they can only withdraw as little as possible.
Fortunately, Nalant has a lot of magic carriages, which can not only load cargo, but also tow several ordinary carriages with powerful power.
In this way, in just half a day, Nalant and others dragged thousands of carriages outside the small town.
"Sir, Swift Eagle said that an army of dark creatures was also discovered twenty miles away on the left side of the small town, and... and there was also a bone dragon in that army!"
"Dark creatures also appeared on the left side, and there was also a bone dragon?" Nalant was shocked again after hearing this. Wouldn't the coalition forces have been covered in dumplings?
"Yes, sir!" Xue Li nodded her little head.
"Your Excellency Tongchui, inform everyone to start evacuating immediately!"
After hearing such news, how could Narant dare to delay?
A journey of twenty miles only takes an hour or two for dark creatures.
More importantly, if they were discovered by the Dark Bone Dragon, it would be even more impossible for them to escape.
"Okay, Baron Nalant, I just don't know where we should escape next. Is it to the Duke's City?"
"We can't go to Duke City. There are also many dark creatures in the direction of Duke City. With such a small number of people, we simply can't protect so much supplies."
"More importantly, our current speed must be very slow. If we are discovered by the dark creatures on the left and right sides, we may not be able to fly." Nalant immediately rejected the idea of heading towards the Duke City.
He had indeed thought before that he would rush to the city closest to the small town and then join the coalition forces to jointly protect the supplies.
But now the dark creatures on the left and right are approaching fiercely and very fast. I am afraid that they will be noticed by these dark creatures before they have time to feel the small towns.
In addition, there are two dark teams on the left and right, and there are also bone dragons.
Unless the Duke City team directly responds, even if they rush to those small cities, they still cannot hold them.
"Then where should we go?"
"Let's evacuate a certain distance in the direction of Thorn Fortress first, and then find a place on the left and right sides to hide the supplies."
"As long as the supplies are safe, we will find a way to explore the battle situation here!"
"In addition, those guys from Gusi have almost returned to the Duke City, and they will definitely tell the kings and leaders of the coalition forces about the news here."
"Then they should also send people to the small town to investigate."
"If they detect the dark creatures encircling them from behind, I think they will definitely choose to break out from behind immediately!"
"At that time, we will wait for the opportunity nearby to see if we can join them!"
Narant analyzed the current situation and gave the safest approach.
With their current strength, they are not actually very helpful to the coalition forces.
So even if they are lacking, they are not lacking.
But the materials are different. As long as they don't return to Thorn Fortress, these materials are the guarantee of the coalition's combat effectiveness.
Therefore, their most important task now is to protect the supplies.
"Okay, Baron Nalant, we listen to you!" The dwarf Bronze Hammer felt that what Nalant said made sense and immediately responded.
Woohoo!
Then, the sound of trumpets sounded outside the small town.
Nalant and others began to move towards the Thorn Fortress with thousands of carriages.
Supplies that are enough for millions of people are naturally massive.
Therefore, despite the fact that Nalant and his companions took away thousands of carriages, they actually left a quarter of the supplies in the small city.
Because Nalant and others really couldn't get more wagons to pull the goods.
Time passed by, and soon Nalant and others disappeared on the horizon in the direction of Thorn Fortress.
Moreover, even if there are traces of their evacuation, there are still people cleaning up behind with straw.
Prevent dark creatures from noticing the problem and discovering their traces.
Two hours after Nalant and others left, a massive army of dark creatures finally appeared on the horizons on the left and right sides of the small town.
Soon, this army of dark creatures arrived outside the small city.
As the two armies of dark creatures merged, they immediately covered the area of more than ten miles outside the small city, making it impossible to see the edge at a glance.
It makes this small town seem like a black ocean.
And in the sky, surrounded by bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, there were three-headed dragons flying continuously.
This is actually two more ends than what Shirley originally explored.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
After the three-headed bone dragon met, it roared a few times and landed directly on the wall of the small city.
"My lord, we have found no trace of those creatures in this city!"
After the three-headed bone dragon landed, it immediately reported to a stone statue placed on the dark earth dragon.
This stone carving is in the shape of a human figure, and the carving is very rough. Only the limbs and head can be easily distinguished.
However, the eyes on the head were flashing with red and black light.
"They didn't come to this small town, so don't worry about them anymore. They can't escape!" After hearing Bone Dragon's report, Na Shiliu immediately responded.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the mouth on the stone carving has not moved, a cold and deep voice sounded around.
"You should immediately destroy all the materials in this small city, and then start to encircle other cities!"
"Remember, you can't let go of any living being!"
"Yes, my lord, I will obey your will!" The three-headed bone dragon immediately responded respectfully.
Afterwards, the quasi-sculpture returned to calm, and the eyes that were originally flashing with red and black deathly energy disappeared.
"Ho ho ho! The great master has ordered that all the dark troops immediately head towards the city where the creatures gather, kill all the creatures they encounter, and do not let any of them go!"
"Ho ho ho, obey my Lord's will!"
As roars resounded through the sky, the dark creatures outside the small city surged towards the Duke City.

The three-headed bone dragon began to spit dragon breath into the small town, but not long after, the entire town was engulfed in flames.
With the encirclement of these dark creatures, various cities in the direction of Duke City soon became aware of the situation.
Immediately, groups of messengers rushed towards the Duke City.
However, the team sent by Duke City to investigate the situation learned about the situation when they were halfway there, and immediately stopped moving forward.
"What, at least tens of thousands of dark creatures have blocked our rear?"
When all the kings and leaders in the Duke City got the news, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Originally, according to Gusi's report, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 dark creatures attacking the small town.
But now the number has increased several times, and the situation has become extremely critical.
