Chapter 38 The Guarded City(1/2)

Chapter 38: The City of Guard

This is a large machine, completely made of wood. There is a large vertical hole in the center of this room. The machine stands inside and leads to the depths of the hole, and may reach the bottom of the hole, but it is now very dark and invisible. There is a large vertical wheel in the center of the machine, and the transmission belt connected by wood pieces is wrapped around the wheel, which looks a bit like a tank track. This wooden transmission belt goes up from the hole below and goes back to the hole below. There is a platform that extends out at every interval on this transmission belt, which is about enough to stand for two people.

"Is this... a water truck?" The thing in front of me looks like a giant water truck. The water truck is strange. The shape of the water truck is strange. The child in the city may have never seen this thing. It is different from a windmill. The windmill uses wind power to drive machinery, and this thing relies on human or animal power to pump water. But if you look closely, the thing in front of me is not like a water truck. The water truck is generally not that big, and the transmission belt of the water truck should not use this kind of platform, but a container that can hold water, or a spoon-shaped object with a certain depression. Anyway, it cannot be such a flat plate. Besides, the water truck does not pump water vertically upward! That thing is usually inclined, and the slope is too large to use.

Zi Yue studied for a long time and said, "I think it's like an elevator that uses the same structure as a water truck."

I also felt it was like Zi Yue when she said this. Once this big wheel rotates, the flat plate on the transmission belt becomes the elevator floor, and it goes up and down, just like an elevator. "We can't just go down like this, right? Maybe there are a large number of orcs guarding it below."

"It's okay, it's obvious that no one is guarding it so dark below. If someone has to have a torch."

I stretched my head down and looked, it was indeed pitch black. This 'elevator' could not be so deep that the light could not be transmitted. The only possibility was that it was indeed black below. "By the way, I have a scout, why did I forget it?" He pulled out a silver feather and threw it down. The feather immediately turned into a steel silver bee and flew down to the bottom of the cave. We walked around the top, and there was a military observation post here, and there was nothing weapon out. The steel silver bee that went down quickly came up again, and the news he brought back was the same as the guess, and there was no one below.

Since there is no one, we don’t have to worry about being discovered. He Ziyue stood on the side of the ‘elevator’, but it didn’t move. It was said that the gravity of the two of us should be enough to make it start to rotate.

"What's going on with this thing?" Zi Yue asked. "Isn't someone else needed to operate it below?"

"I don't think this thing looks like a very complex structure! Could it be that there are equipment to prevent reversal?"

"It's possible. I'll try it."

As soon as we stood on the opposite platform, the wheels began to rotate, and we quickly descended. Maybe it was because we were too heavy, and the thing was falling a little faster. As soon as we reached the bottom, Zi Yue pulled me out and jumped out. The "elevator" turned aside for a while before stopping.

There is also a tunnel below, and it is much longer than above. I sent a blood butterfly to the front to see if there is any danger. The blood butterfly flies slowly than the steel silver bee, but there is no sound when she flies. We didn't come down just now, so let the steel silver bee come down and see faster. Now we must be more cautious when we get down. It is better for the blood butterfly to be safer.

Ziyue and I walked out carefully against the wall, and the blood butterfly explored the way in front of us. We arrived at the entrance of the cave very smoothly. There was no guard in such a long passage. It was hard to believe that how could the orcs make such a stupid mistake? Although this population has never had any brains, it is not so stupid, right?

Anyway, we arrived at the exit of the passage safely. Ziyue and I were carefully hiding in the shadow of the entrance of the cave and looked out. Good guy, outside the cave is a huge orc tribe, and we can see thousands of orcs and large buildings within our eyes. This scale is completely a medium-sized city. How could the dragon clan allow so many orcs to live here? Could it be that the Asian dragon clan has a good relationship with the steel claws and the phoenix dragon, but the European dragon clan likes orcs and the undead? The gap is too big?

"Don't move here, I'll go and see the situation." I tried to lower my voice and said to Zi Yue.

Ziyue grabbed me. "I'll go with you."

"I can be invisible, it's not convenient to bring you."

"Then be careful."

"As long as you don't get discovered," he said, pulling the cloak and covering it with the cloak. After I activated the invisibility, I immediately disappeared from Zi Yue's sight.

After taking out the cave, I moved towards the village, quickly ran to a fence and jumped over. The half-and-half orcs inside walked around in front of me, but no one noticed me. The Phantom Cloak is not garbage equipment, and this invisible effect is still good. After the few half-and-and-half orcs in front of me passed by me, I quickly flashed across the street and entered the room opposite. It seemed like a blacksmith shop, with a large number of weapons piled up in the corner of the room, and iron thrust tools such as hammers and pliers were hung on the wall.

Jump out of the back window of the room and seemed to enter a workshop. Many tools were placed on the ground, and many orcs were busy. Are they preparing for a war? Who are they fighting on Dragon Island? Could they fight with dragons? There are 10 orcs here and all of them are kosted. Where can they fight with dragons? Who will they?

"Wow, wow, wow..." A half-orc suddenly ran in and said something that he couldn't understand and ran out. The Phantom helped me translate the orc who called other half-orcs to have dinner.

The orcs in the workshop all ran out of another door, and they were really active. I waited carefully for them to leave before running to the outside of the room to look inside. These guys were all squatting in the room holding a broken bowl and eating, and the so-called food was all black and similar to the batter. They had an appetite when they saw it. These guys were actually very happy to eat.

I looked at the windowsill next to me, and took advantage of the force to the roof, and quickly jumped from the roof to the roof next to it. Generally, no one would pay attention to the roof, not to mention that I am invisible now. Although there are some flaws in the movement, they are not easy to notice. The houses of these orcs are all made of very good wood and stone, and they don’t look like ordinary orc tribes with broken houses. This shows that these orcs did not simply use this place as a temporary residence, but they built this place as a city. Generally speaking, orcs rarely built cities, unless they felt that the place they lived in was unsafe, but they did not want to move to build cities. However, I think the orcs here are likely to have other reasons.

Jumped from the roof to the center of the city, where there is a towering castle, which looks like a rocket standing there, but it looks ugly, and the aesthetics of the orcs are as bad as their appearance.

Suddenly, I found a half-armored orc wearing armor coming not far away. Looking at the cloak hanging behind him and the fully armed orc following him, this was a leader, and it was probably the ruler here.

The leader walked very fast and looked very anxious. He was tall and big, and almost all the soldiers behind him were trotting. I saw this guy walking into the rocket-like building. The soldiers did not follow in but lined up to guard the door.

The guy entered for only more than a minute, and a rapid bell suddenly sounded from the top of the "Rocket". There was a harsh sound like scraping glass with metal in somewhere in the city. Then several black big guys rose from the city. "Hell Flying Dragon King?" Those giant beasts turned out to be Hell Flying Dragon King, which is one of the most annoying creatures of the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan hates flying dragons just like humans hate bed bugs, and they simply wish they could destroy them all.

After the Flying Dragon King took off, some small things flew up from the edge of the city far away. It seemed that the population of this city was more than 5 million, and at the beginning, it underestimated the size of the city. It was easy to see the shapes of those small things clearly. These were clearly thunder sculptures and belonged to the orcs' allies.

"Roar..." With a loud noise, a golden creature appeared in the distance. I immediately turned my eyes and saw a furry golden creature. Its head was like a wild boar, walking half-upright like an orangutan. Its long fangs and sharp claws, its seven or eight meters tall and golden hair all marked its identity - Beamon King.

The Behemoth King is not a commander with a bare body. There are more than a dozen white-haired Behemoths appearing behind it. These are adult Behemoth monsters. Although they act slowly, their attacks and defenses are quite terrifying, and they are known as moving castles. The white hair is the symbol of adulthood. The underage Behemoth has earth-brown hair. As they age, the hair color will continue to turn white. It is known that it will become completely white.

The major orcs were basically all here. If there were ogres and cyclops, it would be the standard orc legion. As soon as I thought of these two arms, I saw some taller houses in the city open, and ogres came out one by one. Several large stone doors were opened on the mountain on the other side of the passage where Zi Yue had just come down, and teams of cyclops came out.

The Orc Army! What are you going to do?

A wolf howl suddenly came from the valley on the side, and a large black flood rushed out of the mountains. I looked carefully and found that it was not a flood but a large number of demon wolves, black troll wolves. After rushing into the city, these demon wolves rushed to the edge of the house as if they knew the road. After a while, armed orcs in the room came out and turned over and jumped onto the wolf's back. Damn! The evil wolf knight!

A large number of troops quickly gathered in the square in the center of the city. Soon the orc leader just now came out. He whispered something on the platform outside the castle, and then the entire orc army began to turn around and drove in to the inside of the island. Seeing that this situation was about to fight, the orc army had gathered just now, with about 700,000 orc legions. Who would such a large group of troops fight with?

No matter what they do, the city is much deserted anyway. I didn’t expect that there were ogres and some monsters living in the city. That is to say, although the size of this city can live in 5 million people, there are actually no 5 million orcs, which is at most 2 million. Nearly half of the orcs just now went out, and the rest of the city were all old, weak, women and children. I didn’t pay attention just now. Now I found out that there are women in the orcs, but this female orc is really no different from a male orc. It’s just as ugly!

Turn around and jump over several buildings and return to the edge of the city and jump down to the ground and return to where Ziyue was just here.

"You are finally back. What happened to the bell just now?"

"It was the orc troops gathering. It seemed that they were fighting someone. They went out with 700,000 to 800,000 people, which was a big scale! Fortunately, they didn't break in just now, otherwise so many troops would have trampled to death!"

Ziyue was about to run when she heard me pulling me up. "Then we will run with them. Let's go, hurry up!"

"Wait! Why are you following him?"

"You stupid! There are monsters everywhere in front of you. Wouldn't we have nothing left when we follow them? They will encounter monsters first!"

"What you said makes sense. But don't we need to take hostages and interrogate them?"

"What else can I ask! If you can reach the central area of ​​Dragon Island, you will win. Let's talk about other things later. Besides, war is the most chaotic thing in the world. At that time, it's not easy to catch two soldiers at will?"

"Yes." I immediately called out Emmenis, and a large covering area easily solved the hidden problems of the two of us. Riding on Yeying and passing directly through the city, no one could see it anyway. As for the sound... Don't you know Yeying is a nightmare? If Nightmare can't hide the sound of his Mercedes-Benz, how could he fall into his dream?

We two arrogantly crossed the entire city from the street in the center of the city. Before the army in front had gone far, we slowly followed them. The orc leader was at the end of the team, and we could see all his actions. Anyway, they couldn't see us, so we deliberately got very close.

Suddenly, a wolf knight ran up ahead. The knight jumped off the wolf's back and said something to the leader. During this period, the knight's mount kept looking at us. It seemed that the wolf's nose was better. We took the initiative to stop and widen the distance during the safety period.

After the knight finished reporting, the leader issued a series of orders, and then the Orcs suddenly began to speed up and trot forward. It was probably because the battle situation ahead was tight and needed to arrive at a speed. This was just in my mind, and I wanted to see what forces the Orcs were fighting against.

After the team advanced for a while, I suddenly stopped. I turned on the invisible function of the cloak and left the invisible protection area. When I rose into the air, I found that there was a valley ahead. Because the road was narrow, the troops were somewhat blocked, so I stopped and waited for the troops in front to pass. This place was a good place for ambush.

Go back to the bottom and tell Ziyue what I saw. Ziyue suggested that we both go straight to the slope on the side of the valley to the top of the valley and not wait for the Orc Legion. It would be great to have them 'escort' the way.

I agreed with this suggestion and took Zi Yue up the cliff on the left. It looked smoother than the right one, so I chose this side. There were not only two of us who were on the top of the mountain, and the orcs were not fools. A large number of scouts were already standing on the hillside. This kind of valley was most likely to be ambushed, so they sent people up the mountain to guard it in advance, so the troops would be much safer to pass.

The scouts were just ordinary wolf knights, and they couldn't see through our invisibility. Although Yeying could fly, it was still very hard to climb the mountain with two people, so we did not ride a horse but walked up. As we walked, I suddenly felt like I had hit something, followed by a thud. I just took two steps back, but there was a buzzing sound in front of me, as if something big fell to the ground. I felt like I had hit someone, but there was nothing in front of me! Could it be that someone used invisibility like us? Hurry up and pulled Zi Yue back several steps in a row.

The Wolf Knight was not far away. Zi Yue didn't dare to speak directly and had to ask me in a chat: "What's wrong with you?"

"Be careful, someone nearby used invisibility. I just ran into the other party. I felt like I was a humanoid creature, probably not a power type, and I could easily knocked down by me."

"Don't you have anti-scouting? Look at something!"

"Don't be nervous, if you bump into me, it means he can't see us either."

I really saw it when I activated the recognition and disguise ability of the star pupil. Just in front of us, a beautiful human mm was standing a few meters in front of us. She rubbed her nose with one hand and rubbed her butt with the other hand. It seemed that they were all the sequelae of the impact just now. At this time, she was staring at her big eyes and looking around nervously. Obviously, she couldn't see us. Since she couldn't see us and used invisibility, she must be to prevent orcs, so she didn't dare to make a sound when she was hit, thanks to the strong wind on the mountain that covered her voice just now.

Haha! She couldn't see us but I could see her. It was really interesting. Ziyue asked me again: "Did you find him?"

"I saw it, right in front of us, look over there, next to the sleeping grass, there are the traces of her foot stepping on it."

"Yeah, I saw it. What is he?"

"It's human, but I can't figure out whether it's a player or a npc, it seems to be an Asian race."

"Since it's humans, it should be possible to communicate, go over and ask."

"Okay. Stand and don't move." I summoned Emmenis again. "Emmenis, be with Ziyue, give us two a constant invisibility technique, and I'm leaving for a while."

Emmenis waved his hand and set the invisibility for us. I moved carefully to the side of the mm. It seemed like a mage-shaped profession. It was okay to get closer. Anyway, the wind was very loud here, and if you don't get closer, you would shout loudly. I don't want those evil wolf knights to hear it. "Miss."

My voice immediately made her shrink nervously, staring at me in the direction.

"Don't be nervous." I wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, because I couldn't even figure out her identity! "Can you ask first if you are a player?"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately felt much more relaxed. "I am a player. Who are you? I can't see you!"

"I have constant invisibility, of course you can't see me anymore."

"But I have also been invisible, and you seem to be able to see me."

"I have equipment to detect invisibility, and it's normal to see you."

"Oh! Then...?"

"I didn't turn on the invisible detection function just now. It takes magic to start that thing, and I don't drive it often. Who would know that you can hit an invisible person when walking on the top of the mountain? I thought I was the only one who was invisible!"

"I was scared to death just now. I left well and there was nothing around me, but I suddenly bumped into something. It was so scary!"

"What are you doing on this?"

"Since you are a player, you must not be the helper of the guys below. I will tell you later that it is not convenient to speak here. I am performing a mission now. I will take you down after I finish performing it. I have a lot of things to ask you." The girl stretched out her hand in the direction where I made a sound, but she was a little bit off: "My nickname is Youya Virgin, you can call me Youya. I am Chinese. Where are you?"

"Purple Sun, Chinese."

"Comrade!"

"Shh..." This girl was almost exposed.

"Sorry." The little girl stuck out her tongue, looking very cute. She suddenly became serious. "Should you wait." She quickly left me and quickly approached the cliff. When she passed by the Wolf Knight, the wolf turned her head and looked in the direction. However, the strong wind also disturbed the spread of the smell, and the Wolf finally turned her head back.

Youya stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, then she suddenly took out a scroll and threw it down the cliff. The Wolf Knight did not notice the scroll, and the scroll fell down smoothly. I also approached the cliff and stretched my head to look at the scroll. It seemed that it was a magic scroll. Since I knew the name, I directly used the Sikan System. "Youya, what did you throw?"

She didn't answer and just looked at which scroll fell. When it was halfway through, a small white flower suddenly opened on the scroll - a parachute? The parachute did not act as a buffer but pulled the scroll open. As soon as the umbrella opened, it pulled the scroll open. Seeing the umbrella flower open Youya immediately said, "Run quickly." Then she turned around and ran.

I quickly followed and informed Zi Yue and the others to stay away from the cliff. The power of the scroll just now was probably not small, otherwise Youya wouldn't let me run away. Since the escape sound was not as quiet as before, the Wolf Knight noticed us. But a loud noise suddenly broke out in the canyon. Both sides of the mountains were shaking. The Wolf Knight had no time to care about the small sound we made just now. His attention was immediately attracted by the sound from the cliff, but before he could reach the cliff, a large crack suddenly appeared on the dirt block at the bottom of his feet. Then a piece of land as big as a car completely peeled off from the main body of the cliff and began to fall. The Wolf Knight's cross turned violently.

He jumped over here, but he was carrying a knight and it didn't jump far, and the ground that was falling was not an ideal jumping platform. The wolf only had the front paws to reach the edge of the cliff. When his body tilted, the knight on its back fell down, but the wolf actually climbed up with the power of its claws. The wolf that came up turned around and looked down for the knight. Zi Yue and I walked behind it. I stretched out my fingers to compare with three, two, and then we raised our feet to make up our butt. The wolf did not expect to be attacked and fell down from the cliff and went with its owner. After successfully kicking the wolf off the cliff, I and Zi Yue tacitly celebrating.

Not only us had just collapsed, but there were a large piece of mountains around us. There were no more wolves knights left on the edge of the cliff. The same was true on the cliff opposite us, and many wolves knights fell down. In fact, the worst collapse was the opposite side, and the entire top of the mountain was down there. I guess there were many people on it that would not be left.

At this time, what was passing by was the ogres and cyclops. The collapsed mountain buried the passage below, and many monsters were buried in the canyon. Since there was no one, I asked Emmenis to remove all of us from invisibility. Youya immediately ran over when she saw me. "So you are like this? This armor is so beautiful! Why don't you open the mask?"

Ziyue and I pushed away the mask together, and before she could speak, she started to scream. "So they are twins!"

I looked at Zi Yue, "I'm afraid this question is not clear for a moment. I suggest we leave here first, and the orcs below will definitely come up to check it out."
To be continued...
