The screams of 'Oke Oke' resounded in the vast black forest.
A newly built wooden fortress was being attacked by goblins. The leading bugbear held up a wooden shield and waved a big stick and rushed forward. Behind him were dozens of goblin soldiers in a chaotic formation, rushing from the woods with a roar.
Come.
The wooden fortress was only halfway built, and the unfinished wall was heavily attacked by the goblins. The craftsmen and slaves behind the wall fled in panic, and only a dozen human warriors came out howling and launched a counterattack.
The bugbear soon faced strangulation, and its wild roar was not enough to suppress the opponent's multi-angle attacks. The goblin soldiers behind it saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly turned around and ran away. In the end, only the bugbear's screams were left in front of the wooden fortress.
Continuously.
Behind the wooden wall of the fortress, Colenfil Longlegs stared indifferently at the bugbear that was being killed. The archers behind him fired arrows, nailing the fleeing goblin soldiers one by one on the way to escape. A small-scale conflict
Stop here.
The battle is easy, but the road to the elven ruins is still far away.
In the past two or three months, Harmony Village has continuously inspired adventurers from the North to explore the ruins of Silverleaf City. The forces from Coldwind City stayed in Stupid Village, preparing to reap the benefits.
When the Lord of Long-Legged City got the road map to the ruins at a relatively small price, he would inevitably laugh at Zhou Qingfeng for making him a wedding dress. But the reality is that there are far more troubles along the way than imagined.
Uncle Zhou passed by the Bloodstream Canyon and was trapped in an underground ant nest. The Cold Wind City team that followed also ran into him. The Lord of Long-Legged City not only lost half of his team, but also lost a son.
Lord Long-Legs was about to go crazy after learning the painful experience, but this city lord did not do it in vain. He simply used the accumulation of his family's decades of business and followed Zhou Qingfeng's example of step by step, recruiting enough adventurers and untouchables to build the fortress.
Fight all the way from Gumui Village, and build a wooden fortress with defense and rest functions every mile. Store a certain amount of food and water in the fort, deploy a few troops, and have a warning function. This will create a relatively stable logistics
Wire.
There is no other way. But in order to maintain such an extremely crude logistics line, the gold coins in the hands of the long-legged city lord are flowing out. It is like a bottomless pit appears in the treasury, and every day is like a knife.
Human forces continue to invade the Black Forest, triggering a strong backlash from the monsters in the forest. The hungry jackals will not let go of any meat that comes to their doorsteps, and the stupid goblins will come out with their families to find trouble.
There are dozens of wooden fortresses on the fragile logistics line, and more than a dozen attacks occur every day.
Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the ant nest, holding back his ultimate move to escape, while the long-legged city lord read the casualty reports with a livid face every day - the monsters also learned to take advantage of the delays in human communication and transportation, and gathered enough troops to break down a certain fortress in one go.
Eat eat.
The only thing Columbine Long Legs can do is to organize more manpower and material resources, build a larger and stronger fortress, and spend more money to maintain it. But Hanfeng City’s fragile economy with a population of 20,000 people, such consumption
I simply can't hold on for long.
"If this continues, Cold Wind City will be completely destroyed before I reach the ruins of Silver Leaf City." Your Excellency, the city lord, is on the front line in person, trying to encourage his men every day. But he himself is very irritable inside, and this adventure has turned into an adventure.
A big gamble that is bound to lose.
But if he doesn't hold on, the thousands of gold coins invested by the Long-legged City Lord in the early stage will all be wasted. He is not like Zhou Qingfeng who set up a harmonious village to engage in the service industry and can rely on the adventurers coming and going to replenish his health. He is completely
It's bleeding profusely.
Facing the current embarrassment, the Lord of the City stood behind the wall of the wooden fortress and could only comfort himself by thinking: "I don't know where the guy named Victor Hugo has gone? That kid is actually a talent. It's a pity that he also bumped into
Got into that nest of acid-loving ants."
The bones will probably turn into slag by now.
Thinking that his competitor was finished, the long-legged city lord was inexplicably happy. However, he was not happy for long. The untouchables who were logging in wài wéi ran back in panic, shouting for help, "Ants, ants, such big ants."
It was no ordinary ant that could make the untouchable laborers so hasty. The city lord and his men were shocked. They quickly shouted to be on guard, built defenses, and at the same time... were ready to escape at any time.
It is said that if there are hundreds of thousands of goblins in the Black Forest, it will be a disaster. Ants may not look like much, but when there are many, it is a devastating natural disaster.
The Lord's heartbeat was pounding. He had suffered losses at the hands of acidophilic ants before. So when an ant's head the size of a football came out from the direction of the woods, he turned around and ran away without saying a word. Running a step slower would definitely mean death.
.
But just as the men and horses of Cold Wind City were about to evacuate along the temporarily opened forest road, more and more ants emerged from the woods. There were even ant guards flapping their wings in the air, which were specially designed to protect the ant queen.
soldiers.
As the ant guard launched a dive, the long-legged city lord cursed, jumped on his horse and ran faster. However, before he could run very far, he heard a sudden cry from the ant colony, 'Father, father, I am here.'
When the Lord of the City heard the sound and looked back, he saw that in addition to a large number of acid-loving ants pouring out from the direction of the woods, there were also many humans running out. Among them was his son who had been kidnapped by the ants before, and even a man riding a skeletal war horse.
young man.
Victor Hugo?!
The two 'giants' in the Black Forest have finally met. The two famous ones are Lord Columbine Long-Leggs, the lord of the Northland's 'big city' with a population of 20,000, and Lord Longlegs, who has opened up a territory of more than ten miles.
Thousands of people, President Victor Hugo.
Not many people know Zhou Qingfeng, but the skeletal war horse 'Jiying', who specializes in being an NPC deceiver, has become famous. I don't know how many Northland adventurers have bought the high-priced information in its hands, and have already known its name and name.
The image spread is known to everyone.
Seeing 'Jiying', he could naturally guess who was on the horse. So the two 'giants' met without any preparation - Uncle Zhou also saw the horse-faced middle-aged man opposite, who was also very surprised.
Find out his identity quickly.
Behind Zhou Qingfeng is a huge moving ant pile. Thousands of acidophilic ants are crowded together to form a rolling structure - that is the queen ant being carried forward by a large number of worker ants, including no less than a dozen outside.
A layer of soldier ants for protection.
After the huge moving ant pile appeared, the ants quickly surrounded the city lord and his subordinates who could not escape in time. While everyone was panicking, a voice appeared in their consciousness, "Humans, follow me, or I will devour you."
"
The long-legged city lord was on horseback, forced by the ants to gather with Zhou Qingfeng and others who were also surrounded. He glanced at his son who looked embarrassed but had come back from the dead, and then looked at Zhou Qingfeng nearby who also had an ugly face, and took the initiative
He stretched out his hand and said...
"This must be His Excellency Victor Hugo. I am Colenfield Long-Legs, the lord of Cold Wind City. I am really glad to see a young hero like you here."
Uncle Zhou was not happy at all, and said with a sullen face: "I am Victor Hugo, Mr. Longlegs. If you also want to go to Silver Leaf City, then congratulations on you being able to hitch a ride. But if you still want to
If you want to survive, the prospect is really not good."
