Chapter 327 Arriving at the battlefield, the plan of the Church of Light (6200)

Cao Xing was stunned when he saw the two system prompts.

But he soon understood why.

This should be what I mentioned before, the balance of nature.

Although the mammoth was saved, the saber-toothed tiger clan was offended.

But he didn't have any regrets.

Even if it happened again, he would still make the same choice.

And with his strength, as long as there is no seventh-level saber-toothed tiger, it basically poses no threat to him.

The mammoth 'Pofeng' turned around with the other elephants.

Dabai, who was being affectionate over there, seemed to know that it was time for him to leave.

It stretched out its elephant hooves and distanced itself from the two mammoths.

"Moo-moo-moo"

Dabai's parents put their noses on it reluctantly, as if they didn't want it to leave.

Dabai shook his head and gradually let go of his parents' noses.

It slowly turned around and walked towards Cao Xing.

It walked and looked back, as if saying goodbye to its parents and its tribe.

Mammoths are herd creatures, and in this world, there are very few strong people who can tame these creatures.

At the same time, they are also proud.

Basically will not yield to humans.

However, they recognized the group of humans in front of them.

He was also happy that his people had found such a good master.

The mammoth 'Pofeng' walked over and comforted Dabai's parents.

"Woo——"

Dabai's parents uttered a sad syllable, and were very reluctant to see Dabai leave.

But they also know that their children have grown up.

It will have its own life from now on.

A legendary life...

...

...

After saying goodbye to the group of mammoths, everyone headed straight for the Duolun Lake City.

But Dabai seemed a little taciturn along the way.

After all, parting with family always makes one feel a little sad.

Cao Xing and the others did not disturb it. They sat on Xiao Lan's back and left the elephant alone.

At this time, Volibear walked over.

Then he stretched out his bear claws and gently touched Dabai's body.

"嗤啦~"

A flash of lightning.

Dabai was startled instantly and stared at the snow bear with wide eyes.

It seems unknown why it suddenly did this.

Wally didn't say anything, he just raised his bear paw and stood up.

Powerful electric light burst out from its body.

"Roar!"

Volibear let out a loud roar and then rushed forward.

Dabai seemed to know that this was Volibear encouraging him.

Soon, it also raised its trunk, spread out its hooves and ran out behind.

Looking at the two giant beasts running wildly.

Elisa said happily: "Dabai is cheering up, little Wally is awesome!"

When everyone saw this, they all smiled.

As mentioned before, the bonds between the people in Cao Xing's territory will gradually deepen over time.

The relationship will get better and better.

Even the pets are the same.

After several battles, Baymax and Wally have become good friends.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's speed up!"

In an instant, everyone's pace quickened.

A group of powerful beings are advancing at a high speed in the snowfield.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, they had arrived near Lake Duolun City.

On the system's built-in small map, there is a pattern of a city in the distance, and a wide lake next to it.

Even from hundreds of kilometers away, everyone could see the giant city.

When it was about 30 kilometers away from Duolun Lake City.

Cao Xing did not approach immediately, but looked around and found several small mountains nearby.

"Let's go to the top of the mountain and observe the terrain first."

"Sarah, go find out if there's a place nearby where we can hide."

Sarah nodded slightly and disappeared on the spot.

The others, led by Cao Xing, quickly climbed to the top of a mountain.

Looking out from here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire terrain surrounding Duolun Lake City.

The first thing that comes into view is the huge city covered by a golden barrier.

It stands like a silent giant, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.

From a distance, the outline of the huge city is particularly clear against the pale skyline.

The tall city walls were made of huge blocks of ice and solid rocks, and they were flashing a faint cold light.

According to rough estimates, the height of the city wall is about 70 to 80 meters, and the thickness is nearly 20 meters!
It seems like an indestructible barrier that protects against the strong winds and blizzards from the polar regions.

The difference between the city wall of Cao Xing's territory and here is really too big.

And this is just one giant city.

The wall area of ​​Yongshuang main city of the Ice Crystal Kingdom is estimated to be even more exaggerated.

On the city wall, there is a watchtower at regular intervals, with burning torches on top swaying in the wind.

And on the plain ahead, there was a dark mass of figures!
That was the king's army.

The most eye-catching ones are, of course, the group of powerful knights wearing frost blue armor and riding war horses at the front of the team.

The tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers in the rear were equally astonishing in their momentum.

Cao Xing frowned slightly.

"The king's army has indeed arrived, but I don't know when they will launch the attack."

For Cao Xing, the best opportunity was to sneak into the city when the army was attacking and there was chaos in the city.

Then plunder extensively to minimize the risk of exposure.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that there is absolutely no inclination to start a war.

"What are they doing?" Cao Xing felt a little confused.

At the same time, Sarah's report came to my ears.

"At the foot of this mountain, there is an abandoned mine. The temperature inside is acceptable. We can use it as a temporary shelter."

Hearing this, the doubt in Cao Xing's eyes disappeared and was replaced by joy.

"Good job, Sarah, we'll be right over."

After he finished speaking, he led a dozen of his masters and rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain.

...

...

At this moment, in the legion on the plain below.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood there, looking at the huge city in front of them but not launching an attack, and they seemed a little anxious.

After all, this time, they have made sufficient preparations to avenge their previous shame!
He wanted to capture Duolun Lake City in the most powerful manner.

However, without the general's orders, all of them had to continue to stay where they were.

In the chariot at the center of the army.

The two generals sat face to face, seemingly discussing their next plan.

The general named Kro went straight to the point and asked, "General Tasid, when will we launch the attack?"

"The army arrived this morning. Now the surrounding Youlan Kingdom and Nakrod Kingdom are watching us."

"The king is also waiting for news from us."

However, the general named Tasid said calmly: "General Kro, don't be anxious."

"I am sending people to investigate the specific situation in the city to see if the Church of Light has any hidden tricks."

"Only if you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle, right?"

Hearing this, General Kro on the opposite side asked again: "Hasn't it been confirmed that there are only the White Walker army and three red-robed bishops in the city?"

"With this little force, the army we brought with us and the Frost Blue Knights are enough to crush them head-on."

"What else do you want to investigate?"

Last time he dared to launch an attack with more than 20,000 people.

This time, the enemy was well prepared and brought more than 40,000 heavy infantrymen, but they were still testing us.

This made Kro feel that Tasid was being a little too cautious.

Hearing the other party's question, General Tasid's face showed a little displeasure.

But he did not get angry. Instead, he said, "General Crowe, my way of fighting is different from yours. I like to fight a war that I am 100% sure of."

"In this way, the battle loss ratio can be reduced to the lowest level."

"Moreover, the Church of Light is a huge force and has been rooted in our Ice Crystal Kingdom for a long time. No one knows if they have any other tricks up their sleeves."

"Does General Crowe want to be caught off guard and have his soldiers die like last time?"

Hearing this, the general named Kro looked depressed.

The losses from the last defeat were too great.

If it weren’t for the war in Duolun Lake City that needed him.

Stripping him of his general rank would be a light punishment; even execution was a possibility.

The other party brought up this matter, which made him look a little unhappy.

Tasid did not go too far and spoke again: "Okay, General Kro, wait a little longer."

"Once the investigation is complete, I will take back Duolun Lake City with the force of thunder."

Hearing this, General Kro sighed, but he had no choice but to leave.

After a moment, Tashid looked at Lake Duolun City, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "Alas... The Seed of Light told me to delay the army's attack as much as possible, but I don't think I can delay it for a few days..."

"And after this incident, I guess I can no longer hide my identity..."

...

...

at the same time.

Led by Sarah, Cao Xing and others have arrived at the abandoned mine she mentioned.

They asked the two strong men, Bron and Assam, to clear out the rubble at the entrance of the mine, and then they went straight in.

Just as Sarah said, the temperature in the mine was -12℃, much warmer than outside.

Light a torch or pitch a tent and the temperature will go up even higher.

Cao Xing exclaimed: "This place is quite nice and spacious. Let's use this as our temporary base."

He first called Berjie and told him the location of the abandoned mine.

Then he looked at his other teammates.

"Sarah, I have another task for you."

The dark elf assassin emerged and shook his head slightly, saying, "Serving the Lord is my mission. Please give me your orders."

Hearing her firm answer, Cao Xing also felt emotional.

Along the way, Sarah was responsible for reconnaissance, combat, and exploration, and can be said to be omnipotent.

She was also hardworking and never said a word about the tasks assigned by Cao Xing. She always completed them as quickly as possible.

Cao Xing continued, "I need you to go to the vicinity of Duolun Lake City and explore the barrier to see if there are any weak points."

"If not, observe the guard situation in the city."

If Cao Xing wants to sneak into that huge city, the barrier is a hurdle he must face.

But through the last battle, everyone knew that the defensive power of that barrier was extremely strong.

Even under the heavy bombardment of those large siege equipment, it lasted this long before being broken.

With Cao Xing's strength, it is unknown how long it would take if he attacked by force.

And there is also the risk of being exposed. Therefore, Sarah's mission is very important and directly determines Cao Xing's subsequent action plan.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if there is really no breakthrough, after all, Cao Xing still has a [Dark Crystal Ball] that can open a portal.

But this portal only exists for 60 seconds, so he will have to find a way out by then.

The dark elf nodded his head slightly and then disappeared on the spot.

When Sarah left, Cao Xing continued, "He Li."

"Ah? I'm here!"

A short figure nimbly jumped in front of Cao Xing.

His body stood straight, his pair of animal ears trembled slightly, and he concentrated all his attention on listening.

"I have another mission here. It's a very important mission that requires strong exploration capabilities. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"

Hearing this, He Li was about to pat her chest and say it was no problem.

But after one day in this territory, she had seen too many strong people and learned to be humble.

"I will do my best to complete it!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly and then explained the content of the task.

"Now, I need you to infiltrate the army and gather intelligence. It would be best if you could find out the specific time of the army's attack."

For him, this timing is also very important.

It directly determines when Cao Xing will take action.

When the beast-eared girl heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, "Gathering intelligence? I'm best at this!"

"Back in the days when I was in the Raven Spirit City, I sneaked into the mansions of those nobles every day and eavesdropped on their conversations."

"I've even sneaked into the city lord's mansion!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Go ahead, after you complete the mission, I can consider letting Sarah teach you assassination techniques."

Hearing this, He Li trembled with excitement.

She said excitedly: "Yes, Lord, I promise to complete the task!"

After she finished speaking, the girl with animal ears left the mine in a few leaps like a nimble cat.

Cao Xing looked at the others and continued, "Others go to the mine, clear enough space, and wait for the other warriors to arrive."

"Then some people went deep into the mine, explored every corner, and eliminated all possible dangers."

After hearing this, everyone started to take action.

...

...

Time passes slowly.

Soon, four hours passed.

Night has fallen now.

Bron and others also explored all parts of this abandoned mine.

And deep in the mine, the bodies of some dead miners were found.

It seems that he was crushed to death because the mine collapsed and he had no time to retreat.

There were several vengeful spirits bred there, but they were all easily dealt with by Braum and his team.

They cleared the mine of all dangers.

The two assassins, Sarah and Heli, are still exploring near Lake Duolun City.

at the same time.

Cao Xing heard dense footsteps coming from outside the mine.

A large number of dragon blood fighters and wild boar warriors led by Berjie have arrived!

Among them was the old wizard Tyran.

Hundreds of people swarmed into the cave.

Then they lined up respectfully and stood in front of Cao Xing.

Bertier, the shorter commander, stepped forward respectfully to report.

"My Lord, all 250 combatants arrived safely, and there were no accidents along the way."

"Please give us the next instructions."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Very good, you guys go find a place to camp in the cave first, you may have to stay here tonight."

"As ordered!"

After these words were spoken, more than two hundred soldiers entered the cave in an orderly manner.

Cao Xing called out to the old wizard in the khaki robe.

"Mr. Terran."

Hearing the voice, Tai Lun turned around and said respectfully: "My Lord, please speak."

"I see that you have advanced control over the earth element. Now I plan to use this mine as our shelter. I want to make the entrance as hidden as possible so that it cannot be seen by others."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Terran thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Lord."

"I can mobilize the surrounding soil, change the structure of the entrance, block it, and make it look exactly like the mountain outside."

"If anyone else wants to go in or out, just tell me and I'll move the dirt away from the cave entrance."

"As for the oxygen problem, don't worry. I will open some hidden passages in other places to allow fresh air to circulate."

Cao Xing also smiled and nodded.

"Very good, let's do it then."

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

Tyran soon arrived at the entrance of the cave and began his spellcasting.

The old wizard raised his staff, and the soil near the cave entrance began to move.

"Crash..."

These soils are constantly rising.

In an instant, the entire cave entrance was covered.

And the soil outside began to dry up rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it became exactly the same as the surrounding soil.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary mountain, with no trace of a mine.

This move of Taillon can be said to be quite good.

Cao Xing nodded in admiration.

After waiting for half an hour.

Sarah's voice rang out.

"My Lord, I am back."

"But the entrance to the mine seems to have disappeared. Did I go in the wrong direction?"

Cao Xing smiled.

The method Terran used to hide the entrance was not an illusion, but a real change of terrain.

Therefore, even people like them who have true vision cannot see it.

Because this stuff is real.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask Tyron to open the door."

Soon, Tyran next to him raised his staff.

"Crash..."

The soil automatically parted, revealing a passage wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Sarah looked at the passage that suddenly appeared and went in with a strange expression on her face.

Then, the animal-eared girl Heli also followed back to the cave.

The two came to Cao Xing.

Judging from their expressions, it seems that they all made some discoveries during this investigation.

"Sarah, you go first."

Sarah replied: "Following your instructions, I toured around this huge city."

"This barrier is all-round, without any loopholes, and once the barrier is attacked, it will be detected by the hunters inside."

"The hunters standing on the watchtower will launch arrow attacks."

"I saw the king's army sent several waves of soldiers to test, but they were all beaten back."

Cao Xing frowned.

If there weren't any weaknesses, it would be difficult.

In this case, he could only use the [Dark Crystal Ball] to enter the barrier.

Sarah continued, "Although I didn't find the weak point of the barrier, I made another discovery."

"After nightfall, I lurked behind Lake Duolun City, and then I saw a group of people disguised as mercenaries approaching the barrier."

"And entered directly into the barrier."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "How did they get in?"

Sarah continued, "I saw a white-robed priest walk out of the barrier unimpeded, and then he led the other cultists into the city."

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"I see. Just as I expected, this barrier is not completely closed."

"Otherwise, it would be equivalent to trapping all the people in the city."

This discovery is very important!

This means that Cao Xing has the opportunity to sneak into the huge city and get out!

"Great job, Sarah."

He exclaimed in praise, then looked at the animal-eared girl next to him.

"Heli, tell me your information."

After hearing this, the beast-eared girl immediately reported: "I also successfully sneaked into the army today, overheard a lot of information, and also learned why the king's army did not launch an attack!"

"Oh, what is it?"

He Li said: "I heard that it is because two voices have appeared in the army now."

"One general named Kro advocated launching an attack immediately, while the second general named Tasied advocated a more cautious approach and first explored all the methods of the Church of Light before launching an attack."

"But because Tashid was sent by the king later, he now has the ultimate command power in his hands, and the army must obey his orders."

"The exact time of the attack has not yet been determined."

After hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment again.

"War and conservative?"

"This second general sent by the king is too cautious."

And at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind!
"Wait, what did you say? Tasid?"

"Are you sure you heard it right?"

Cao Xing asked in surprise.

He Li nodded her little head quickly.

"It's definitely not wrong! This is what I found out personally!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing suddenly curled up his lips into a smile.

"Interesting, it turned out to be him..."

"Why did the Ice Crystal King send this guy over here when there are so many other people he could send."

"With him here, the king's army will probably be in trouble again!"

On the [List of Black Robe Priests] that Cao Xing collected last time, the person with the highest position was a general named Tashid.

But this did not make Cao Xing feel pressured.

On the contrary, it also allowed him to see a glimpse of the decline of the Church of Light.

After all, a person like Tashid is already a high-ranking figure in the kingdom.

If it were Cao Xing, he would never use such an important chess piece easily.

And now, they even sent out Tasid, which means that the Church of Light really doesn’t have many people available in the Snowstorm Plains.

The king is no fool.

If something goes wrong in this battle, Tashid will be punished and investigated no matter what.

And his identity will be exposed.

In other words, the Church of Light has already abandoned this important chess piece for this operation!
Cao Xing felt that he seemed to have grasped something vaguely.

"It seems that Tasid is not trying to do anything in the battle, but is trying to buy time for the Church of Light, right?"

"But why are they stalling for time?"

The more I think about it, the weirder it seems.

But soon, Cao Xing put these thoughts behind him.

"Whatever they're delaying, I need to act now."

"The more the Church of Light wants to do, the more I will not let them do what they want!"
