Chapter 984 Shocking!
The war machine that suddenly appeared made Balgruuf's complexion extremely gloomy.
It was just an armed robot just now, and Bi has already caused him a loss that made him feel heartbroken.
But at this moment, there are five armed robots with the same shape in front of him. The same appearance shows that they all belong to the same model, and the lethality is not different from each other!
Balgruuf can imagine what a bloody and bloody scene will appear if he chooses to charge in the face of this terrifying war monster!
At that time, the soldiers of Xueman City would fall to the ground in pieces like wheat blown by a gust of wind, and their bodies would be torn apart.
In just a few breaths, the grass in front of him can be covered with corpses, and the blood will gather into a stream!
Not to mention that in addition to the armed robots on the ground, there are ten flying machines eyeing the sky, ready to spray a deadly torrent of metal at any time.
The warning formation put out by the Holy Dragon City really frightened Balgruuf!
He is not a brainless lord, and he will not choose to shake his opponent hard because of a momentary fever, and fight a war that is destined to pay a heavy price!
In this way, even if he won a tragic victory, then he would not be able to face the pursuit of the outer demons, and he was still a complete defeat in the end.
Between the lightning and flint, many thoughts flashed in Balgruuf's mind, his expression changed constantly, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
"Pass my order, the entire army stops attacking, and retreats one kilometer to set up camp!"
When Balgruuf gritted his teeth and issued this order, the soldiers who had been praying in their hearts finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
There were even people who looked surprised at escaping death. They glanced at the silent battle robots with incomparable fear, and quickly put away their swords and started to retreat.
Compared to the slowness and procrastination when they arrived, the soldiers of Xueman City were extremely fast at this time, as if they couldn't wait to leave the area that made them tremble.
Balgruuf watched this scene quietly, his eyes twinkling.
"It seems that as long as you don't enter this area, the outer demons will not do anything this day, which is a very interesting thing.
So what is the reason that caused the outer demons to do this? "
Various speculations flashed through Balgruuf's mind, but he couldn't come to a conclusion because he didn't have the proper information to refer to.
"Maybe I can come up with more bounty to stimulate those adventurers whose interests come first, and let them sneak into Hewang Village to find out what secrets the outer demons are hiding?"
Although Xueman City released a quest to explore the information of the outer demons some time ago, it indeed attracted a lot of adventurers to accept the quest, but in Balgruuf's view at this time, the number of bounties may still be insufficient.
Under the reward, there must be a brave man. He needs a real master to figure out the real secret of the outer demons, so that he can decide what to do next.
Is it to have a decisive battle with it, or to maintain the existing situation without aggression, or...
A thought flashed through Balgruuf's mind, and he startled himself, but soon he looked thoughtful again, considering the possibility of the thought just now.
Struggling, hesitation, surprise, and doubtful expressions alternated on his face, cloudy and sunny...
No one dared to disturb Balgruuf at this time, the soldiers just established the camp in an open mountain valley.
There is a small river not far away, the water is clear and sweet, just for drinking and cooking.
When the smoke rose, the construction of the temporary camp was also underway.
There is no shortage of everything that should be in the camp. The thick wooden stakes are driven into the soil to form a barrier, which is used to delineate the boundaries of the military camp and prevent the enemy from approaching.
Huge trees were cut down and a simple watchtower was built to observe the movement of the dense forest in the distance.
Besides, in the surrounding woods,
There are also a large number of scouts to guard against possible enemy attacks.
Even though they already knew that if they did not cross that boundary, they would not be attacked by the Holy Dragon City, but they still cautiously made a defensive posture.
In the face of such a powerful enemy, there is no exaggeration to be cautious!
After a short while, a military camp appeared on the only road connecting the outside world in Hewang Village. Anyone who wanted to pass by this road could not avoid the eyes of the soldiers in Xueman City.
Of course, if you don't want to go through this road, but choose to walk through the dense forest in the mountains and get close to Hewang Village, it is not impossible, but it is difficult to say whether the goal can be achieved.
First, apart from this road, approaching Hewang Village from other places must face very dangerous terrain. Except for a single person and a small group, the large group is absolutely unable to move.
The second is that since the Tianwai Mozu publicly announced that the land near Hewang Village will be listed as a forbidden area, they will definitely not ignore these areas, and even more tightly defended!
If you jumped in recklessly, you might not even know how you died!
It is clear about this, so Balgruuf did not rush to send someone to explore the way, but surrounded the map with his subordinates, constantly discussing something.
Obviously at this time Balgruuf still did not choose to give up the settlement of the outer demons, but compared to the beginning, he undoubtedly became much more cautious.
Because for him, every decision at this time may have a huge impact on the future of Xue Manling.
The soldiers of Xueman City didn't know the complicated thoughts in their lord's heart, they were just happy that they didn't have to fight with the outer demons.
This mysterious and powerful enemy, powerful weapons and fighting puppets made them feel fear and powerlessness from their hearts.
Even in some corners, there are already soldiers discussing in private whether they should escape from here, so as not to lose their lives in vain after Balgruuf ordered the war!
There are actually quite a few soldiers with this kind of thinking, especially those soldiers who gathered from various villages and towns following their master monks, and they kept praying to get out of here quickly.
Every minute of staying here makes them feel tormented.
This is the most normal reaction of the indigenous people when faced with a powerful and unknown force. After all, life is precious, and no one wants to lose it easily!
A depressing atmosphere permeated the entire Xueman City military camp.
At this moment, the soldier in charge of duty suddenly heard a rush of hooves and was approaching here.
It didn't take long for hundreds of knights in full armor to appear, and they came to the barracks with a burst of dust.
Seeing the road blocked by the soldiers of Xueman City, those knights stopped advancing and shouted to the soldiers: "Quickly get out of the way, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Even if they saw the Xueman City military camp not far away, the attitude of these knights was still tyrannical, obviously they didn't take Xueman City seriously.
Even if the flag representing Balgruuf's identity is so clearly erected in the barracks, they still ignore it!
Hearing the words, the monk in charge of vigilance glanced at these knights in elven armor with high expressions on their faces, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered the soldiers to evacuate the roadblock.
Seeing this, the savvy knights immediately drove the warhorses under their crotch and began to run wildly in the direction of Hewang Village.
Balgruuf, who walked out of the tent after hearing the news, snorted softly as he watched the knights approaching the limit set by the Holy Dragon City.
"Those damned Thommers, are you going to be crazy for a while?"
