Chapter 142: Reinforce Lugaoin
"Lu Gaoyin... sent someone... for help?"
Lan Wu was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears. He had only been back for a few days, and Lu Gaoyin was on the verge of collapse. This was incredible, as if he had heard a divine book.
"If I hadn't gone to Lu Gaoyin in person, I wouldn't believe that Lu Gaoyin would ask for help from our Rogue Camp one day." Kasha was not very emotional.
It has always been only the Rogue Camp that asked Lu Gaoyin for help, and it had to see if they were willing to come. Now, it's all the opposite. But then again, if the Rogue Camp was facing such a situation, I'm afraid they would have sent someone to ask for help long ago.
"Let me go." Lan Wu took on the task. It just so happened that he had made a giant war staff, so there was no reason not to go into actual combat. Besides, Kasha told him about this situation at this time, it was obvious. He gave a thumbs up and laughed, "I know that place well."
"That's why I came to you." Kasha put away her sigh and said seriously, "The situation in Lugaoin is very bad. The demons are attacking from both the mysterious sanctuary and outside the city. It is estimated that there are at least 100,000 demons involved in the invasion. According to reliable information, Duriel and Andariel have joined forces. Someone from Lugaoin once reported that they had found traces of Duriel and Andariel."
Lan Wu couldn't help but take a breath when he heard that Duriel and Andariel had joined forces. The two demon kings joined forces, that's really no joke. No wonder they just repelled the demon invasion launched by Duriel, and now they launched another one. And this time it is obviously more deadly than the last time.
The mysterious sanctuary leads directly to Lugaoin's palace. After the last time, Lugaoin had been prepared, and defense was not a big problem. However, the demon army outside the city became a problem.
The reason is that Lugaoin is too big.
Lugaoin, with a population of more than 100,000, covers an area of more than 50 miles. There are only more than 3,000 professionals in Lugaoin, plus the city guards equipped with ancient magic props and Gretz's mercenaries, which is a total of tens of thousands of people. Ten thousand people have to defend the palace and the city walls, which is a great pressure.
After quickly thinking about the defensive pressure of Lugaoin, Lan Wu frowned tightly. Lugaoin is really in danger. This may be the first city destroyed by demons in thousands of years.
"I have arranged the first batch of reinforcements to go to Lugaoin after I came back last night." Kasha paused for a moment and hesitated: "I hope you and Flora will lead the second batch of reinforcements to Lugaoin for reinforcement. Lugaoin cannot fall."
"Okay, I'll go find her now." Lan Wu also knew that there was no time to lose, and immediately prepared to find Flora.
"No, I'll go talk to her in person." Kasha stopped Lan Wu and turned away.
Lan Wu thought about it and accepted the arrangement. Reinforcing Lugaoin is urgent, and there are many things that need to be prepared. For things like healing potions, mana potions, physical potions, etc., you need to go to Akara. There's no way, being poor means you have no confidence. There's no free stuff, and he can't afford it. All his belongings are basically thrown into forging.
Arriving at Akara's tent, Akara was not surprised by his intention. He raised his hand and pointed to a space bag on the shelf, smiling with some regret and said, "Sorry, these are all I have left now."
"That's enough. Lu Gaoyin won't be stingy with these little potions on this business trip. I just prepared a little more cards." Lan Wu opened the space bag, and tied it to his belt with a glance.
Saying goodbye to Akara, Lan Wu returned to the training ground. At this time, Kasha had already gathered the second batch of reinforcements. He saw Flora's unhappy face at a glance, pulling Irene to hide in the corner, obviously annoyed by Kasha's nagging just now.
"I've arranged it." Kasha saw Lan Wu coming, pointed to the more than a hundred people in front of him, and a hint of worry appeared between his eyebrows.
This second group of reinforcements to Lugaoin consisted of a few professionals and rogues. Although Lan Wu had been in the rogue camp for a short time, he could see that these professionals were all from the rogue camp. In other words, this team mobilized the defense force of the rogue camp.
"It seems that the mercenaries sent by Graze are the first batch of reinforcements." Lan Wu had a bottom line in his mind. Those mercenaries were all in accordance with the employment contract, and Graze came to the rogue camp out of gratitude. Now that Lugaoin is facing a crisis, they naturally don't want to stay in the rogue camp.
"Is the camp safe after so many people were withdrawn at once?" Lan Wu asked in a low voice as he swept his eyes over the team in front of him.
"Akara has decided that after you leave, everyone will temporarily enter Tristram." Kasha was also helpless. Now that it is impossible to carefully distinguish the scouts of other forces, exposing Tristram is also a helpless move. This is also one of the reasons why Akara has not arranged professionals to settle in Tristram.
After a brief inspection of the team, Lan Wu did not say anything. With an order, he led the more than 100 people straight to the teleportation array. When they arrived at the teleportation array, Kane had just finished the last bit of testing on it.
"May the gods be with you." Kane touched his chest and bowed, his tone desolate. These children who went to Lugain for reinforcement are the future of the Rogue Camp. I don't know how many of them will come back in the end.
"May the gods be with us."
The fighting spirit of the people was very high. Not long ago, the army of the fallen demons of Bishuboshu was defeated, which made everyone full of fighting spirit. No one doubted that this reinforcement operation would fail.
After stepping onto the teleportation array, Lan Wu suddenly felt that the world was really amazing. In the past, he didn't want to go out except for work, but now, he has basically no rest time. Just thinking about it, a flash of light appeared, and everyone on the teleportation array disappeared without a trace.
When the vision was restored, Lan Wu and his party had arrived at the teleportation hall of Lu Gaoyin. He saw the reception staff arranged by Lu Gaoyin at a glance. Ha, it's still an acquaintance.
"Sorry, Lu Gaoyin needs your help again." Gross looked apologetic and solemnly performed a chest-touching salute, showing his sincerity.
He was very sad. As a Lu Gaoyin noble, he should stand up to defend Lu Gaoyin, but he needed this God's grace to help every time. The gap between the two sides is a bit big, and there is almost no hope of catching up. Look, this God's grace is needed again this time.
"Where are Duriel and Andariel?" Lan Wu shook his head and smiled, and immediately turned to the main topic.
"Duriel is mainly attacking the mysterious shelter. Andariel should be outside the city." Gross answered concisely. After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and added in a low voice: "In fact, Andariel first appeared here."
Lan Wu suddenly heard such a secret, and his hair stood up. What a joke. The first time I heard that Andariel had appeared in the Stone Wilderness, now I heard that it first appeared here in Lugaoin. Doesn't that mean that this daring demon king came to Lugaoin through the teleportation array of the Rogue Camp.
How awesome is this.
Although the Rogue Camp is weak, it has Akara's Mind's Eye, which basically eliminates the hidden dangers of demons sneaking in. But Andariel actually avoided the Mind's Eye... This means that the Rogue Camp is not safe at all. If it sneaks into Tristram, it may face the crisis of being destroyed by demons.
Thinking of this, Lan Wu immediately called a rogue over, explained it carefully, and finally solemnly warned: "Be sure to tell this news to Lord Akara and the others."
Watching the rogue return to the rogue camp through the teleportation array, Lan Wu immediately asked Gross: "I want to go to the city wall to take a look."
Gross thought about it and readily agreed. The mysterious shelter is in a dangerous terrain. With the cooperation of professionals and the city guards, it is not a problem to defend it. With Lan Wu's strength, it is obviously necessary to have an open terrain to give full play to his strength.
While rushing on the road, Lan Wu took the time to ask Andariel in detail. After getting Gross's answer, his expression became very strange.
It turned out that Andariel was discovered just by accident. Originally, Andariel successfully sneaked into Lugaoin. But on the way to the palace, he met a drunkard who was drunk. An inadvertent vomiting tore Andariel's disguise, which exposed its identity.
Fortunately, Andariel did not intend to kill in Lugaoin. Once its identity was exposed, it immediately fled from Lugaoin. Then Lugaoin was invaded by this large-scale demon invasion.
The group arrived near the city gate. This place has become a huge military camp. All civilians living by the city wall were arranged to evacuate to the fourth city wall. A few civilian volunteers carried supplies such as potions under the organization of the city guard. More professionals and mercenaries were taking the time to rest.
Lan Wu looked up at the ten-meter-high city wall. On it was Lugaoin's third force - the city guard. They each had a long whip made of unknown material. Every time it was swung, the long whip would emit a light bullet of unknown properties. Just by listening to the noise of artillery bombardment outside the city, you can know that the power of this long whip is indeed good.
"I'll go up and take a look." Lan Wu called Gross and walked quickly up the city wall. When he walked to the top of the city and looked down, my goodness, the outside of the city had become a sea of demons, and there was no end in sight. A rough estimate shows that there are at least 50,000 demons in this wall alone. Including the other three gates, the number of demons besieging the outer city of Lugaoin alone reached an astonishing 200,000.
This is a rhythm of a desperate struggle.
Lan Wu secretly smacked his lips. He knew that the number of demons in the entire desert would never be lower than this number, but with so many demons gathered, it was probably the largest demon invasion besides the War of Original Sin.
"They are crazy." Gross followed Lan Wu to the top of the city, watching worriedly as demons were blown to pieces by the light bullets swung by the magic whip, and other demons immediately filled the gap like a tide.
"This is why I came here." Lan Wu laughed and took out the giant war staff.
