Chapter 432 Die together
"This..." the subordinate said uncertainly.
"Since there are no traces on the ground, not even a sign of their departure, and the Burning Legion has been disturbing us, they must be hiding underground." The Eredar leader said with certainty.
"What are they doing underground? With so many people, is it necessary for them to hide from us?" the subordinate asked in confusion.
"They are not hiding from us, but from the Holy Light Tower." The Eredar leader explained. "If they are hiding from the Holy Light Tower, the best hiding place should be under the tower."
The subordinate replied. "Under the tower!" The Eredar leader was suddenly stunned.
"Damn it! They just want to dig directly under the tower. Then the Holy Light Tower won't be able to attack. They... they..." The Eredar leader became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. His face became very ugly and his voice trembled a little.
"Doesn't that mean... our defense will be destroyed in an instant?" His subordinates were so shocked that their eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief.
"Hurry, go back and report this. Although it may not be true, we must let the city be prepared." The Eredar leader shouted anxiously, his heart full of worry.
The news from the Eredar leader spread quickly, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense. However, unlike the anxious Eredar leader, the elders seemed somewhat calm.
"Don't panic, this is just a guess and there is no conclusive evidence yet." An elder said calmly, trying to calm everyone.
"But if it's really as the leader said, the consequences will be disastrous!" Someone couldn't help but interrupt.
"Even if they really have this plan, we are not afraid. When we built the Holy Light Tower, we needed to dig the foundation. The underground here is extremely solid. We dug from top to bottom and used a lot of blasting magic, but it was still very difficult. In order not to alarm us, they certainly cannot use blasting magic. So they want to dig in from the outside? I hope so." Another elder sneered.
With the elder's words, many people also dug outside and suddenly remembered that it was indeed as the elder said. The ground here was extremely solid. If they wanted to dig in from the outside, the workload would be quite huge.
After hearing these words, the Eredar leader was relieved, but still had some doubts in his heart: "Even so, we still can't take it lightly. After all, the other party may have other means and strategies."
However, the other elders agreed with that elder's point of view and believed that it was impossible for the enemy to dig into the Holy Light Tower from the outside easily. They were full of confidence in the defense of the Holy Light Tower.
After thinking for a moment, the Eredar leader decided to put aside his worries and continue to search for Yun's whereabouts. Although he still felt a little uneasy deep in his heart, he believed that the Holy Light Tower was strong enough to withstand any external threats. So he led some of his tribesmen to leave the Holy Light Tower and began to search the surrounding areas, hoping to find Yun's trace.
After searching for two days in a row, he still couldn't find Yun's whereabouts. He became even more uneasy. So many people attacked and he just disappeared. If it weren't for the Burning Legion attacking the searching soldiers, the Eredar leader would really think that Yun had left.
However, after such a long time and with the loss of many people, Yun still could not be found, and the idea of attacking from below became stronger and stronger.
"Chief, let's not look for it anymore," said a soldier.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Can't stand it?"
"It's not that we can't stand it. It's that the other party has obviously hidden the entrance to the cave. Unless we completely destroy the Burning Legion and then send a large number of people to search it thoroughly, we will definitely not find it." The soldier said helplessly.
"What do you mean?" the leader asked, frowning.
"The enemy is obviously trying to hide. We are too few in number. Even if we find any clues, he will send out a large number of Burning Legion troops or even our teammates, and then kill those who get the clues. In this way, it is difficult for us to get any information about the cave entrance." The soldier explained somewhat frustratedly.
"Oh? You think he is underground instead of gone?" the leader asked excitedly.
"Of course, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of becoming those terrible monsters! Therefore, we are particularly cautious. In addition to those who unfortunately died after returning, many brothers disappeared inexplicably. We can accept death in battle, after all, this is the cruel reality of war. However, the Burning Legion has no habit of destroying corpses, so these missing brothers are very likely to have been turned into undead by the evil guy who can resurrect corpses into undead. In this case, this evil existence must be nearby. We have spent so much time but still have not been able to find him. The conclusion is just as you said, leader, he is very likely hiding underground."
"Do you think so too?" the leader asked.
"Yes, we all think so. However, I think instead of searching here blindly and eventually being turned into undead one by one by him, it is better to go back to the city and find other solutions." The soldier suggested.
The leader began to waver. He realized that what the soldiers said made sense. There was no point for them to stay outside. If they continued like this, they would only be defeated one by one by the enemy. In comparison, waiting for the enemy to come might be a better choice.
"But didn't the elder say that the underground here is very solid? It is almost impossible for that human to dig a hole." A soldier said with some confusion.
"Sir, don't we know how many undead he has? They disappeared the next day. At least he could dig a big hole in a day that could accommodate at least half of those undead. And this is the most conservative speed. Just because we can't dig it doesn't mean others can't. Just like just because we can't resurrect the dead as undead doesn't mean others can't." The soldier explained.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" The leader became anxious when he heard this.
"The elders don't know such an obvious thing? It's just that they have no way. The underground is too hard and we can't dig on a large scale. I think the elders must have a plan, but they just don't want us to know." The soldier said helplessly.
Hearing this, the leader was stunned. This soldier was just an ordinary soldier, but he could see so much information, and he didn't even notice it. And since he had discovered it, many people must have noticed it too. So why didn't anyone say anything? What was their purpose? Could it be that, as he thought, the elders had some special plan? At this moment, the leader had lost interest in continuing the search and decided to take his men back to the city immediately.
As expected, the city was bustling with activity. Although on the surface it was a unified deployment to guard against the attack of that human, the leader keenly noticed that these arrangements were obviously targeted, all of which were means to delay time and consume energy. It seemed that the elders intended to trap Yun in the city, then detonate the Holy Light Tower and perish together with that hateful human! Thinking of this, the leader was filled with anger.
After the leader came back from outside, he gave a brief report to the elders, but the elders didn't care. When the leader proposed not to go out for reconnaissance anymore, the elders readily agreed to this decision. These signs showed that the elders didn't believe they could defend the Holy Light Tower or defeat Yun at all.
The leader returned home with a somewhat depressed mood, and he began to enjoy the little life he had left. Yun could more or less guess what the elders were thinking. However, despite this, Yun still launched the attack.
The first to appear on the battlefield were a large number of demons. They concentrated their forces to attack one side of the Holy Light Tower, and occasionally used hellfire to contain the Holy Light Tower's energy. Since the demons were of a lower level, the Eredar in the city could deal with them relatively easily. But everyone knew clearly that Yun's real trump card - the undead army - was the most critical means of attack.
The Undead finally appeared, but the location where they appeared was unexpected - they were outside the city! A large number of Undead suddenly appeared under the city wall and launched a crazy attack without hesitation. At this time, many Eredar had gone to fight the demons, and those who stayed in the city were scattered everywhere. They did not expect the Undead to choose to attack the city. Therefore, the city wall fell quickly. At this time, the Eredar successfully completed the assembly and launched a fierce battle with the Undead Eredar.
"Have you found that human?" the elder asked anxiously.
"No, I haven't found it yet."
"Have you searched carefully?" The elder was still unwilling to give up.
"We have looked carefully, and there is indeed nothing."
"How is the battle going?" After learning that Yun could not be found, the elder turned his attention to the battle situation.
"Well, the situation is not bad. The south gate has been breached, but there are still many defensive facilities in the city, and the enemy's offensive has been obviously curbed." The soldier replied.
"Yes, to the south, which is where I first met that human being." An elder echoed.
"Yes, it seems that the foundation of the Holy Light Tower is quite solid and they cannot shake it, so they chose to fight outside the city. This really caught us off guard." Another elder expressed his opinion.
"It doesn't matter. These Undead and the Burning Legion will find it difficult to break through the Holy Light Tower. They will definitely come to resurrect those who died on the battlefield. That will be our only chance. We must pay close attention." The first elder said in a firm tone.
"Understood!" The soldier nodded seriously, then turned and left.
Although the battles on both sides were frustrated, this was all within Yun's expectations. Yun could summon so many things, how could he only have such a simple means of attack?
In the eyes of everyone's surprise, a large number of elemental creatures surged in like a tide. They chose to launch a fierce attack from the west, neither entering through the opened gate in the south nor supporting the demons who were still in a fierce battle in the north. The strength of these elemental creatures was slightly inferior to that of the demons, but due to the limited number of Eredar defending the city, they still stubbornly resisted the attack of the elemental creatures.
"Elemental creatures? What on earth is going on?" Faced with the situation before his eyes, even the well-informed elders could not help but feel confused and curious. He frowned, staring at the surging elemental creatures, his heart full of doubts. The other elder beside him also looked surprised, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "What is the origin of this human? Why can he summon so many elemental creatures to assist him in fighting?" The two elders locked their eyes. However, the situation at the moment became more and more complicated, causing them to have more worries and doubts about the future direction.
"Is there still no news from Lord Kil'jaeden?" an elder asked the soldier beside him with a frown.
The soldier shook his head. "Not yet. They are on their way to Holy Light Tower No. 5. I heard they were intercepted by the Burning Legion and suffered heavy losses. They are heading there at top speed now, so the message is being transmitted much more slowly."
Hearing this, the elder's face turned gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "What is going on? Since this human came, the entire planet has undergone quite a lot of changes. Let's continue to contact him."
The soldier took the order and left, while the elder continued to stand there, frowning and thinking about countermeasures. As time went by, he felt more and more pressure, and the mysterious human became an indelible shadow in his heart...
Michele had been waiting at the end of a cave for a long time, wondering what was happening outside. Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of fighting outside, which meant that the battle in the city had begun. However, they were still hiding in this cave and did not participate in it. Michele could not help but feel puzzled. Yun must have some special plan for them to carry out, otherwise he would not let them stay here. Thinking of this, Michele became more and more nervous.
At this time, Yun's order finally came. Without hesitation, Michele led many undead Eredar people to quickly dig through the soil above and jumped up. When they broke out of the soil, the scene in front of them surprised Michele - they actually dug under the Holy Light Tower! This magnificent building towered into the sky, emitting a sacred light, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Misele was very reluctant, but under Yun's control, he led a group of undead Eredar to rush towards the Holy Light Tower. They rushed into the Holy Light Tower like a black torrent.
"What? The Holy Light Tower is under attack?" Now the elders could no longer sit still.
"How many people are attacking?" the elder asked hurriedly.
"Not much, but he's very strong and has already broken through."
"It's okay if there aren't many. Has that human shown up?" the elder next to him asked.
"Not yet," the soldier replied.
"Then continue to observe. The plan remains unchanged." The elder's eyes became more and more determined.
Now that the Holy Light Tower has been breached, even if they send people to take it back, it will be breached sooner or later. They have no hope of survival and can only hope to take Yun with them when they die.
