Frost-covered Valley is different from Blackhorn Town, which was built on the plains. This human town was built in a mountain canyon not far from the Frost-covered crystal mining area.
Most of the ordinary people in the town are miners or managers of the mining area. They work in the mining area on weekdays, and will not return to their homes in Frosty Valley Town to rest until the working hours are over.
The specific location of the Frost-covered Valley town is in the center of a large canyon outside the crystal mine. The canyon leads to the north and south sides. To the south is the Frost-covered crystal mine area, and to the north is another human town called Hourglass Town.
The Frost Crystal Mine is the largest lighthouse crystal mine in the entire Late Winter War Zone. Almost half of the lighthouse crystals used in the small towns in the Late Winter War Zone come from this mining area.
Therefore, the strategic position here has always been one of the best in the late winter war zone, and there is always an elite professional army from the front line stationed in the mining area - a detachment of the Winter Guard Corps.
Hundreds of mining convoys come and go in Frost-covered Valley every day, transporting lighthouse crystals mined from the mining area to other small towns and frontline fortresses in the late winter war zone.
But today, this frequent transportation activity has rarely come to a halt, and not only that, the entire Frosty Valley town has also entered a state of complete martial law.
Outside the entrance to the south side of the town, a mining convoy loaded with lighthouse crystals was parked quietly. Right in front of the convoy, a professional team of more than 20 people had all pulled out.
He took out his weapon and looked at the light blue barrier dome of the town with a ferocious look on his face.
"Let us in! You bunch of bastards! We are the guardians of the mine transport convoy!"
At the front of the team, a lean man wearing gold-level armor and holding two short swords yelled into the town with a fierce look on his face, with obvious nervousness and urgency in his tone.
At the gate of the town, the town guards, whose number had expanded to sixty, also had their swords unsheathed. Under the leadership of a paladin holding a blue-level shield, they were firmly stuck in the opponent's path.
"Martial law has been imposed over the mining area. No mining convoy will come over there at this time! Put down your weapons and accept inspection! Don't expect us to let you over like this!"
The paladin guard captain responded loudly, the golden saber in his hand constantly swinging slightly, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"Damn it!" The lean man cursed fiercely in a low voice. The current situation made him feel very difficult.
"This is different from what we promised!"
"Boss, what should we do? Do we want to charge?" A subordinate on one side looked at the small town guard on the other side who had three times more people than them. He couldn't help but swallowed dryly, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although the guards in the town opposite are generally five levels lower than them, their numerical advantage is there, and there is the wall of the town behind them for support. With their ragtag group of people, if they rush over, they will probably only be defeated.
The army was annihilated?
"Charge?!" The lean man he called "boss" gave him a cold look: "If you want to charge, be the vanguard! Labor and management are not here to be cannon fodder for others!"
"Then... what should we do? Go back?" The subordinate had a look of luck on his face, as if he was glad that his boss had not been dazzled by the generous terms offered by those guys.
"Hey! What those people told me at the beginning was that we only need to transport the convoy to the Frost-covered Valley to complete the mission. Now we have arrived at the Frost-covered Valley, but the guards won't let us in. We can't blame us.
After all, we had promised at the beginning that we would never serve as a vanguard for them!"
The lean man snorted coldly, then put the dagger back into its scabbard, turned around and waved to his companions behind him: "Let's withdraw..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the three mine carts that were parked quietly in the middle of the group of people suddenly changed!
There was a loud rumble, and countless emerald green lights burst out from inside the mine cart!
These electric lights instantly tore apart the black oilcloth covering the minecart, and then swept everyone around to the ground like whips!
"what the hell......"
Crack!!
Green lightning soared from the mine car like a devil's claw, and countless lighthouse crystals were lifted into the air by violent explosions, and then fell back down like rain.
Before the lean man understood the situation, a bolt of lightning struck his chest quickly, then wrapped around him like a living tentacle and pulled him towards the inside of one of the mine cars!
"Ahhhhh!!!" the lean man screamed miserably, looking around, only to find that all his men had been caught by the raging green lightning, and they were dragged into the radiant area one by one, screaming.
Inside the minecart with an ominous green glow!
In an instant, he realized that the reason why those damn evil contracters agreed to his conditions so decisively was because they had no intention of fulfilling them!
From the beginning, people like myself have been cannon fodder and sacrifices in their eyes, consumables specially used to promote their plans!
After understanding this, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the lean man's face.
Yes, he understands that seeking skin from a tiger is really a very dangerous thing, even more dangerous than going to the front line to fight the devil.
Unfortunately, he understood it too late.
"I will send you damn hell away!!!"
He only had time to utter a final curse before he was dragged into the mine cart by the green electric light, leaving only a series of extremely miserable screams echoing between the mountain walls on both sides of the Frost-covered Valley...
Facing this sudden scene at the entrance of the town less than a hundred meters in front of the convoy, all the town guards had nothing but confusion on their faces.
They had no idea what had just happened. They only saw a sudden flash of green light in the mine carts, lightning tumbling, and then the members of the "Guards" who were obviously in disguise screamed in less than a minute.
Then he was dragged into the minecart.
Only the guard captain reacted first. Although he didn't know what the scene in front of him meant, his intuition told him that this might not be a good thing...
"Retreat backwards! Raise your shield for melee combat! Prepare for long-range attacks!"
The guard captain roared at the top of his lungs, and his voice woke up the other guards who were still in a daze.
However, these guards are all professionals who were temporarily recruited by taking on tasks, so their cooperation with each other is naturally not very good.
So, in a flurry, some people misheard the order and ran towards the gate of the town. Some people had not fully recovered and stood still. The paladins stepped on all kinds of auras and barbarically
The chaotic roars of people filled the sky.
In this chaos, the green light suddenly surged in the three mine cars that swallowed up all the escapees. Countless green lightnings, thicker than before, shot out from the green light, and a circle of dark green lightning novae exploded towards the surroundings!
Wherever the lightning nova affected, the black rocky ground began to surge and shake, and large areas of scorched rocky ground with cracks of evil fire constantly spewing out replaced the previous ground!
At the same time, in the center of the Lightning Nova, a hell portal like a devil's eye slowly opened, surrounded by terrifying dark green lightning... (To be continued)
