Chapter 641 Road Blast

On the outskirts of the Dragonscorpion's territory, the vanguard of a dwarven army is advancing.

"kill!"

When the advancing dwarf army saw the emerging dragon scorpions, some of the dwarves immediately roared and charged forward.

"Roar!"

Although there were many dragon scorpions, there were even more dwarf soldiers.

Moreover, there are very few high-level dragon scorpions in the outer areas.

The dwarf soldiers quickly cleared out the dragon scorpions they encountered.

Scorpions kept emerging along the way.

But the army continued its advance in an orderly manner.

As Owen followed the team forward, he kept receiving reports of victories from his subordinates.

However, his brow remained furrowed.

Until the aerial reconnaissance team sent back intelligence.

"Many dragon scorpions have begun to retreat towards Sagunto!"

As Owen listened to the information from Anno, his brows relaxed, and he murmured, "It seems that our actions of garrisoning troops and preparing for war during this period have been kept under the watchful eye of the Dragon Scorpion God."

Now that it sees our troops, it's starting to gather its own forces!

The high-ranking dwarf beside Owen immediately asked, "My lord, should we speed up our journey and try to eliminate as many dragon scorpions as possible to prevent them from gathering near Sargonto?"

The army has an elite cavalry unit.

The cavalry is fast enough to catch up with a considerable number of the retreating dragon scorpions.

"No!"

Lord Owen shook his head without hesitation and said, "The dragon scorpion is very strong individually, and cavalry does not have much of an advantage when fighting large magical beasts."

Without the support of heavy armor and ranged units, cavalry cannot kill too many dragon scorpions in a short period of time.

On the contrary, cavalry units charging alone at the front risk being surrounded.

Owen paused for a moment, then said, "Proceed according to the original plan. The best option is for the troops from all four directions to arrive at Sagunto simultaneously."

"yes!"

Upon hearing Owen's command, the dwarf beside him immediately rode away on his whirlwind ram to relay the order.

Meanwhile, Owen stared at the map in his hand, deep in thought.

As the lord of Sagunto, Owen was intimately familiar with the terrain surrounding the city.

He knew which areas were dangerous, which areas were rich in resources, which areas had relatively wealthy people, and which mountainous areas had difficult people's lives.

He also knew that if the troops continued to advance, they would pass through a place where they were likely to be ambushed.

It was a hilly area between Sagunto and Iron Fortress.

The hills are mostly low hills, ranging in height from tens of meters to more than two hundred meters.

Due to abundant rainfall, there are also a large number of towering trees and plants here.

If the enemy ambushes a dwarf army in this area, the dwarves will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"Although the possibility of such a thing happening to Warcraft is extremely small."

But the enemy does possess a god-level dragon scorpion; there's no guarantee they won't actually set up an ambush here.

Owen didn't dare gamble on Dragon Scorpion's intelligence in this matter, so he immediately issued a mission to the mercenaries and adventurers following behind the group: explore the specific situation of the Lonca Hills before the troops advance to the Lonca Hills!

After receiving the mission, many of the mercenary leaders immediately led their men to rush up.

On the adventurer's side, Xue Feibai conducted an on-site assessment of the commission and determined it to be a sixth-tier Mithril-grade item.

If an ambush is encountered, the commission level will be upgraded from Mithril level to Tier 7 Hero level!

Adventurers below rank six are generally advised against accepting commissions.

The adventurers of Steel Fortress knew that the rating meant protection for them, so they wisely declined the commission.

Only the sixth-tier individuals who came with Anno accepted this commission.

The people from Owen knew the Adventurers' Guild's style and readily paid the deposit.

Anno himself stayed with Owen and did not participate.

Although he was capable of gathering intelligence.

But if he has to do everything, then Anno won't need to bother training other people.

Xue Feibai led a group of sixth-tier adventurers onto their warhorses and sped ahead of the main force, heading towards Longka Hills from a different direction than the mercenaries.

Even when they encountered dragon scorpions blocking their path, the group didn't give them a second glance.

Because battles may break out in the Lonka Hills, everyone needs to conserve their stamina and magic.

Wasting energy on minor characters is not worthwhile.

Advancing at full speed, Xue Feibai and his men arrived at Longka Hill in less than half a day.

Although he obtained a map of the surrounding terrain from Owen before leaving.

But when everyone actually arrived there, they discovered the difficulties.

There were actually official roads built by the dwarfs among the hills.

It's about ten meters wide, and although it's not perfectly flat, it's still much better than climbing the hills on either side.

Moreover, this width is more than enough for merchants or caravans that usually pass by.

However, for an army of tens of thousands, the entire force needs to be stretched out in a long line.

If the dragon scorpion were to launch a sneak attack from the hills at this time, the dwarf army would suffer heavy losses.

Xue Feibai dismounted and turned back, saying, "Meng Xin, Wang Zixuan, you two take some men and scout ahead!"

When Anuo was not around, the battles were basically commanded by Xue Feibai or Lu Zhishang.

"yes!"

The two women responded and waved to the back, and half of the rogue and hunter classes in the group followed.

"The rest of you, tie up your horses and come with me to explore!"

"clear!"

Once everything was ready, Xue Feibai looked at the dense forest among the rolling hills and led his men inside.

The official road winds through these hills.

By surveying the surrounding forests, the safety of the army's march can be ensured!

Whew!

A gentle breeze blows by, and the leaves of an evergreen tree sway slightly, so slightly that you might not even notice the change if you're not paying attention.

Then Meng Xin's figure changed from being invisible and transparent to being visible, appearing on the thick branches of the giant tree.

She squinted as she looked down at the official road.

She had now reached the other end of the official road, but had not found a single dragon scorpion.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dark figures appeared on the branches around Meng Xin, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~~!"

A pigeon's coo came from not far away.

This was the sound coming from Wang Zixuan's throat, telling Meng Xin that everything was safe.

"It seems this area is fine, but the fact that it's fine is the biggest problem!"

Meng Xin stood up, leaning against a tree, and thought to herself: Given the resources of this hilly area, there's no reason why there shouldn't be a single dragon scorpion.

Either all the dragon scorpions have been removed, or they are hiding in areas that haven't been investigated yet!

Meng Xin waved her hand and ordered the surrounding thieves, "Continue searching the other areas!"

"yes!"

The dozen or so thieves immediately turned and disappeared.

Whoosh!

Just as Meng Xin was about to leave, her ears suddenly twitched.

"That voice..."

A gleaming dagger instantly appeared in Meng Xin's hand. She assumed a fighting stance, turned around, and scanned her surroundings, thinking to herself: "This voice sounds so familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before!"

Just as this thought crossed my mind, a row of familiar things fell from the sky and landed precisely on the smooth official road!

Rumble rumble rumble!

In the woods, Xue Feibai and the others, who were searching in different areas, felt a tremor in the ground and immediately froze.

Lu Zhishang immediately leaned over and lay down on the ground to feel the direction of the vibration.

"This way, follow me!"

After getting up, Lu Zhishang quickly ran towards the location of the explosion.

On the way, they encountered Meng Xin, who was returning.

Lu Yan asked in confusion, "What happened? Did you find the dragon scorpion?"

Meng Xin nodded and said, "Found them! But these dragon scorpions were driven to Longka Hills from outside."

They immediately used their [Tail Spikes] to destroy a section of the road, and they are still blasting the road!

Zixuan has already led people to stop them!
