Chapter 1159 Returning to the Altar
The warm blood splattered around and formed a blood pot on the ground. The owner of the Qi Bu stepped on the Blood Point and marked the gap like a sharp arrow by the barbarian warrior. The Qi Bus splashed wildly, and the barbarian that rushed up was cut into pieces in an instant and then pushed out of the city in one go.
The angry master stopped moving, and now everyone can see clearly her figure, wearing armor, and a heroic Audrey.
The appearance of the city lord greatly boosted the morale on the city wall. Countless soldiers shouted in a tone of "Long live the city lord!" and faced the enemy desperately, and soon pushed down all the barbarians who rushed up the city wall.
The rapid knocking of hollow wooden sticks sounded from the main formation of the barbarians outside the city, and the barbarians under the city wall retreated like a tide.
...
Today is the third day of the savage army siege.
There are 50,000 regular soldiers in Hei Iron City, of which 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers. Warriors are professional soldiers, with long-term training and well-equipped equipment, and are the main force of the city defense army. The training of auxiliary soldiers is not as good as that of war soldiers, and their equipment is slightly lacking. As a supplement to war soldiers in wartime, their combat effectiveness is not weak.
The entire Hei Iron City has a registered permanent population of 200,000. Due to the special circumstances of Hei Iron City, the number of people who are not registered is more than twice the number of people who are registered. In addition, the poor people in Hei Iron and miners in major mining areas, as well as refugees who fled outside the city. At this time, the population of Hei Iron City exceeded 700,000.
This is a very terrifying number, especially in the case of war, when the production activities of various living facilities are damaged and restricted. Just meeting the living needs of 700,000 soldiers and civilians has become a huge burden on the Black Iron City official.
The 50,000 city defense forces needed to defend the city walls and maintain public order, and the manpower was soon insufficient. On the third day of the war, the eight hundred guards guarding the altar were pulled out for a total of five hundred. Less than a day later, two hundred and fifty soldiers were drawn, and the mage scholars who were originally surrounded on the altar were all exposed as early as the first day of the war. In the end, only fifty soldiers were left to guard the altar.
In addition to paying attention to the battle situation outside the city, Rob focused more on the altar. After seeing the second group of soldiers being transferred, Rob knew that the time was up.
The brush stood up from the ground, and Rob waved his hand, Leng Gang War God was taken back to the storage space, and then he turned over from the stairwell to jump to the first floor. In the center of the room on the first floor, a large hole was presented there. Judging from the freshness of the soil layer, it was obviously something that had just been excavated in recent days.
Jirasha's head poked out from the hole, and the big head was covered with mud, wrapping it as if it had just emerged from the mud.
In the past few days, Jirasha has been doing his old business. A channel leading to the ground has been dug long ago, and it is constantly strengthening the wet and soft soil layer to avoid landslides.
With Rob's guidance, the passage leads to a tunnel at the shortest distance, which passes directly above the cave where the altar is located, and is less than three meters away from the upper cave wall.
With such a short distance, Jirasha could penetrate it in two or three strokes. At that time, Rob and others could directly airborne from the top of the cave to the top of the guard's head.
...
There is a tall stone tower next to the city lord's mansion. The height of this stone tower is the highest in the entire city. It is a magic tower with powerful magic detection devices arranged on the top of the tower, and it is also the control center for all magic settings in the city.
In the magic tower, there are various magic settings and crystals on each floor. The projection is constantly flickering and changing, switching back and forth the real-time situations of various locations in the city.
Underground is the focus of monitoring. Because of the special circumstances of Black Iron City, the underground mines, tunnels, cracks and caves are complex, and there are hollows everywhere and it is impossible to completely close them. Therefore, monitoring is the top priority, preventing large enemy troops from sneaking into the city through underground passages.
Under heavy monitoring, if the enemy dares to do this, it is equivalent to seeking death. Any few ground-type magicians can break up a passage, and even the most powerful barbarians will only be buried and killed.
This kind of large-scale detection requires magic fluctuations to penetrate the formation, and the information feedback will not be too detailed. It can only detect that there are creatures in that area and how many of them are. And it is not accurate to the fact that the activity is human or beast.
Among the countless feedbacks, one of the messages attracted the attention of a mage. There were vague traces of biological activities near the altar cave.
This kind of trace is too slight, and it is certain that there are not many numbers or small sizes. Maybe it is a creature like a mouse or an earthworm. The accuracy of a large-scale detector is too low to be able to distinguish what object it is.
Originally, this kind of trace should be ignored. Even if it is an enemy, one or two, it cannot play any role, but that place is too sensitive and is located above the cave where the altar is located.
The altar is the highest secret in Black Iron City now. Except for the mages and soldiers involved in excavation and research, the rest of the people do not know the existence of the altar at all. Because this ancient ruin is a treasure house that any force wants to obtain at any cost. If the news is known by other forces, even the royal family of the empire will definitely ask to participate in the excavation operation. In the end, whether Audrey can keep the altar is unknown.
This mage happened to be the person who knew the existence of the altar. To be cautious, he reported his discovery.
Not long after the report was reported, another wave of detection waves feedbacked the information. The faint traces of activity at that location had disappeared, and the remaining one was a relatively large number of traces of activity below that location. There were dozens of traces, but the mage did not take it at all because it was sent by the guards of the altar.
The mage pursed his lips and thought in confusion: Could it be that something went wrong?
...
Duopu was irritated and shredded a piece of wood with his long sword. The cut wood chips fell into the fire, and crackling sounds sounded from time to time.
The entire Black Iron City entered the war mobilization, and his companions fought bloody battles and made achievements, but he stayed in the dark cave to guard a pile of stones. I really don’t know what precious this stone is, carved with inexplicable patterns, and cannot be eaten or used. Do so many people need to be guarded?
Duop, who has developed limbs, really cannot understand the value of this altar to humans. To him, it is made of a pile of unmovable stones. No matter what shape it is, it is still a pile of stones. Will someone steal or destroy such a pile of stones?
