Chapter 363 Alien Disaster (23)
The people in the special envoy team couldn't bear the smell of the alien acid blood, so Spiegel immediately decided to make a torch and leave here overnight.
On the other side, the last army of the Alabasta Empire led by Galen came near their Sky City.
This army now has more than 1 people, basically all of them are mid-to-high-level professionals of the third-level silver or even gold-level. It can be said that it is the ace army of the Alabasta Empire.
It can be seen from this that Galen is favored and trusted. It is an illusion that Smoker feels that he can compete with him for the crown prince after gaining power that is almost the same as Galen.
But now everything is empty.
"What's the result of the reconnaissance?"
Seeing the people who went to reconnaissance come back, Galen couldn't wait to go forward and ask.
It is impossible for an army of more than 1 people to go directly to the front of the king's city. Zhang Liang suggested hiding in the royal hunting garden near the king's city and waiting for the situation to be ascertained.
The captain of the scouting team gave a one-knee salute, then stood up and looked at Galen, his face was very ugly under the light of the fire.
"Empire……"
"Say it quickly, don't hesitate!"
Galen said anxiously.
"General, the royal city has fallen, and there are probably no more people alive inside. It's all black monsters."
The scout said quickly.
"Is the royal city really fallen? Impossible, that is the Tianmu royal city. Even if it was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of orcs for several months and failed to take it down, how could it have fallen so quickly."
From the bottom of his heart, Galen didn't want to believe this was true. He grew up listening to the legendary stories of how his ancestors stood firm for several months in the onslaught of the orc army in the Sky Curtain King City.
"What is it, what can break through the king city so quickly?"
But he still remembered that he was the commander-in-chief of the first army, he just hesitated for a moment and then forcibly adjusted, and asked in a cold voice.
"It's a black monster, more than three meters high, and some can even reach five meters. It looks a bit like an earth dragon, but its back head is very long, and it stands on two hind feet. Its forelimbs are not short, and it looks quite flexible."
Investigators described.
"It's not any kind of monster in my impression, Zhang Liang, do you have any impression of this?"
Galen asked.
"I haven't heard of such a monster. Maybe a summoner who is proficient in monsters may know something. Do you think it's just such a monster?"
Zhang Liang asked the investigator.
"Yes, we can't get close to all these monsters around the king's city, so we have no way of knowing what kind of monsters are there."
said the investigator.
"I have a guess."
Zhang Liang paced back and forth, and said thoughtfully.
"What, tell me quickly."
Galen's voice was still a little anxious.
"This kind of monster, which has never been heard of before, appears in large numbers at one time. Those who can possess these two points are very similar to the legendary monsters."
Zhang Liang speculated.
"Demon Realm, Demon Race?"
Galen's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"I'm just guessing. After all, it is said that the passage to the Demon World was completely sealed by the seven great sages thousands of years ago. It's just that the thousand years have passed, and there is no guarantee that there will be no flaws in the seal."
Zhang Liang changed the subject and said.
"Demon Realm..."
Galen also fell silent. If the opponent was the demon who almost destroyed the world a thousand years ago, then he could explain the fall of the Sky Curtain King City.
"Yes, it must be the demons, and only the demons can capture the Tianmu King City in such a short period of time."
Galen emphasized it to himself.
"If it's really the demons, then we'll be in big trouble. The reconnaissance team is dispatched again to disperse around the royal city. If the demons want to come from the demon world to the human world, they must have passages. Check to see if there are any suspected passages around the royal city. s things."
Zhang Liang ordered.
The captain of the reconnaissance team took the order to go, and they had to be busy again.
"Since we are demons, we must have the mission of eliminating demons. We have decided to take advantage of the fact that those demons don't know about our arrival and make a surprise attack, drive them out of the demon world, and regain the Sky Palace."
Galen became more and more excited as he talked.
"General, we don't know much about the demons, even the names of those black monsters, let alone what kind of abilities they have. I don't think it's appropriate to confront them head-on at the moment."
Zhang Liang persuaded, he felt that although there is a surprise attack at this time, those monsters occupying the Tianmu King City, even if they don't know how to defend the city, relying on the intricate terrain in the King City, it is unlikely that they will attack in one go .
If it is a human race or some kind of sub-human race, Zhang Liang may think it is okay to try, because they will panic in the face of a surprise attack, and once their morale collapses, even if there are many people left, they will still run away.
But the monsters are different, especially a completely unknown monster. If they don't run to the end and fight to the end, then the outcome may be unpredictable.
"What are you afraid of? Those demons were able to capture the Tianmu King City only because they just appeared when the King City was empty. If the Guangwu Army hadn't been taken out by me to the western border to meet the orcs, the King City would not have been breached so easily."
Galen said disapprovingly.
"And the morale is available. Everyone in the Guangwu Army including me, everyone's relatives who stayed in Wangcheng were killed. If you don't take revenge at this time, let alone when, everyone will not agree."
Zhang Liang looked around, and he could indeed feel the grief and indignation pervading the entire army.
Two-thirds of the troops here are Guangwu Army, and the rest are Frontier Army. When they learned that Wangcheng had really fallen and there were no survivors, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
If you choose to run away instead of fighting a battle at this time, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the team may not be able to move by then.
"Forget it, since you want to fight, then it's not too late. You must hurry up before the whereabouts are discovered by those monsters in order to gain the benefit of the surprise attack."
Zhang Liang frowned and thought for a while. It was unreasonable not to fight here, and he couldn't explain to the whole army. If he didn't want to fight, he would fight anyway.
He also has family members in Tianmu King City. Although he has always been cautious and arranged for them to escape, he has not heard from them until now, and he does not know if they are safe.
"Alright, inform the whole army, bury the pot to make food, use the dark fire method, eat and drink enough, and at dawn, we will rush into the king's city to kill all those beasts, blood for blood!"
Galen said to the bodyguard.
Zhang Liangliang nodded. He had nothing to add. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, Spiegel was on an unknown hillside, watching the busy people below building a camp.
After a day of fighting today, Spiegel decided to rest here for a day, and then set off in the early morning of the next day.
The night is as bright as water, and the stars in the sky flow.
The whole sky is as bright as a mirror, and in the mirror, the silver galaxy flutters, resplendent and colorful, and boundless.
