Chapter 2691 Assistance
Losing the first battle is not the most worrying thing, there will be even more worrying things later.
The monster that killed a few dozen people out of a team of thousands was not a green jellyfish, but a collection of giant toads and lizards!
They have the ugly heads of toads covered with dense bumps and the fat and bulging belly of toads, but they have four lizard legs and claws, and a slippery lizard tail.
As soon as this monster appeared, it used its thick, long tongue covered with mucus at lightning speed to suck the unprepared adventurers into its mouth.
After losing dozens of adventurers in a row, the commander ordered to temporarily abandon attacking green jellyfish and focus on attacking toad lizards instead.
Thanks to the fact that each of these adventurers has mastered the power of degeneration and habitually used it to protect their armor and weapons in battle, the battle against the toad lizards was not in vain.
After dozens of toad lizards were killed in succession, at the end of the disaster team, in the dug ground, a rotten and withered giant hand was firmly clasped into the soil at the edge of the pit.
At the same time, about half a meter away from the giant hand, a head covered by a hood slowly emerged.
Just when the faceless head was about to burst out of the hole, another giant hand came out and slammed it into the soil.
As the blurred face let out a low roar, it exerted force with both hands at the same time, and jumped out.
Only then did everyone see its appearance clearly. The monster was more than two meters tall, and its whole body was covered by a cloak. Only its face could not be seen clearly, as well as a pair of huge rotten and withered hands, and a pair of feet like mummies. Exposed.
As soon as it appeared, it was immediately besieged by adventurers.
Because in the common sense of adventurers, the later a monster appears, the more powerful it is.
The fact was just as they thought. When the monster saw a group of adventurers rushing towards it, it calmly stretched out its hand and grabbed it. In an instant, a two-meter-long sickle appeared out of thin air and was held tightly by it.
The next second, several arc-shaped haloes flashed, and the adventurers stood still, waiting for the monster to slowly walk past them. The dozen or so bravest adventurers who were charging at the front were all killed.
For a moment, the morale of the adventurers was greatly reduced. They did not expect that this slow-moving monster in a hooded robe could burst out with such a powerful attack.
In order to boost morale, the three national forces rushed over without hesitation after a brief discussion.
But from the beginning of the battle, their offensive was ruthlessly suppressed - the three fearless warriors had to face the killing moves of the hooded robed monster and the sneak attack of the toad lizard at the same time.
After a desperate struggle, they died heroically.
The remaining national forces had less than five people, and there were only a few hundred ordinary adventurers. Seeing this situation, one of the national forces proposed a retreat.
Several other national forces obviously do not want to just retreat. After all, as national forces, they have their own pride. Sometimes, this pride is more important than life.
After a short discussion, except for the adventurers who initially decided to retreat and led the few remaining ordinary adventurers to retreat to the town, the other three national forces and more than a hundred fearless adventurers who decided to die faced the disaster. Fang launched the final attack.
After learning the entire battle, the old Duke suddenly came to his senses and then regretted it endlessly.
He thought that with the military strength of Dashai City, he could fight against the previous waves of disasters, and then become famous in the world and steal the throne of the Orc King. However, it was precisely because of this greed and these calculations that he ignored the legacy of the legendary heroes. Guidance for future generations - in the face of disaster, put aside your grudges and unite as one, otherwise you will surely perish.
The wisdom of our ancestors has long understood that the threat of disaster cannot be solved by a single country. Only by working together and uniting as one can we survive safely.
Any overconfidence may lead to destruction.
The old Duke, who thought about all this clearly, sent a request to the other four countries through the call crystal.
I hope they can help us solve the disaster problem together.
There is a saying that goes like this: Waiting for a call back is as painful as waiting for get out of class to end.
The old Duke waited and waited, and the flowers of waiting were almost withering. Finally, the first person to respond to the call came, and it was Fort Wych.
Wichburg said that in the face of disaster, we must unite as one to solve the problem. Therefore, the two majesties decided to send a team of 10,000 adventurers to assist in the battle, and also sent 100,000 firearms as military supplies. , but there is a prerequisite, that is, the food and daily supplies of the ten-thousand-person adventurer team need to be fully taken care of by Dashai City.
Although the old Duke felt unhappy, after all, the situation was urgent now, and Fort Vic was the first to offer assistance, so he had to treat it well, so he agreed to all the requests made by Fort Vic.
Subsequently, York City also sent a call, stating that it could send a team of 20,000 adventurers to assist, but there was also a prerequisite, that is, Dasai City must bear the team's food and all daily expenses.
The old Duke, who had experienced the prerequisites once, was no longer surprised. He just responded with a simple "No problem" and hung up the call.
Then there is Airui City. Airui City can only send 10,000 people to assist. After all, up to now, Airui City is still in a state of chaos. It needs to send more manpower to rectify the civil strife. There is no time for other people to take care of it. It can mobilize these 10,000 adventurers. , is already the limit.
Anyone can hear that there is moisture in such prevarication. What is the limit? It's all fart!
If Airui City, which has a history of thousands of years, only has this small number of troops, it will not be far from destruction.
They just didn't want to help Airei City unilaterally, but due to the Peace Treaty, they had to send troops to help, so they only sent 10,000 people. At the same time, they used the limit as an excuse to block the old Duke's retreat to continue borrowing troops.
The last one to reply was Moonlight City.
The person in charge of this matter is not me, but Elder Mela.
Although there is a lot of dissatisfaction between Elder Mela and I, after all, we are both in the Moonlight City camp, and we are still facing disaster, so we have to put aside our resentment for the time being and discuss the issue of sending troops to assist.
At first, Elder Mela believed that the Orc King was under house arrest and the situation in Dashai City was unclear, so it was not appropriate to send too many troops to assist. Therefore, the initial force set was - elite members of the Thousand Rose Legion.
As soon as this figure was proposed, I rejected it.
Elder Mela looked at me without surprise and asked: "First of all, let me remind you, don't forget the current situation in Dasai City. Okay, how many troops do you plan to send?"
