They are no longer ordinary robbers.
Instead, it is a group of evil forces that are powerful enough to threaten the safety of the city and the lives of ordinary people.
Whether for the safety of the caravan or to protect innocent civilians, we must take action.
I know you don't want to get into too much trouble, but please don't sit idly by and watch the evil expand this time.
Otherwise, countless people will die.”
Ai Luolin stood in front of Zuo Si with a serious face and explained the pros and cons.
Obviously, through the brief battle just now, she has realized that relying solely on her pitiful combat skills, she can't fight against an adult red dragon that controls an army of tens of thousands of monsters, let alone defeat the large group of goblins that were easily slaughtered by the Shadow Legion.
If we want to resolve this crisis, we must rely on Zuo Si's power.
No matter whether it is the terrifying shadow army that is already huge enough to be considered terrifying, or his own terrifying spellcasting ability that cannot be guessed by common sense, they can launch a fatal blow to the monster army numbering tens of thousands.
Looking at the young holy warrior's expectant eyes, Zuo Si pretended to think for a few minutes and quickly nodded: "You make sense. Given the current dire situation, I really can't just sit back and watch. In this case, let's just wipe out these monsters."
"Oh? You...you agreed!"
Ai Luolin opened her mouth wide, her face full of incredible surprise.
She simply couldn't believe that someone like Zuo Si, whose thoughts were not commensurate with his age, could be easily convinced by just a few words from her.
"why not?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders, touched his chin and explained: "After all, I'm not a devil, and I'm willing to do good things occasionally.
Plus, the threat posed by this army of monsters is visible to the naked eye.
If they were not cleared out, it would be almost impossible for a caravan of this size to pass safely through Myratma.
And I am also looking forward to what kind of reward the Lord of Myratma will offer for resolving this crisis."
"So what are you going to do?" Ai Luolin asked impatiently.
"It's simple! I need to first understand the current situation on the other side of the Is River."
Having said that, Zuo Si immediately took out a creature card and chose to pay the magic power to summon it without hesitation.
moment!
A large scorpion-tailed lion with a body length of more than three meters and a weight of nearly half a ton appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
Especially those slaves and civilians who had just been frightened, after seeing this terrible monster, they subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
But he was soon intercepted by mercenaries who had seen a little bit of the world.
You can't blame them for being timid, it's just that the appearance of this thing is so terrifying and scary.
Even Zuo Si, who was mentally prepared, was obviously frightened.
Especially the face that looked like it had been skinned and looked like an ogre, and the big mouth full of at least three rows of sharp fangs. Anyone who saw it would involuntarily feel uncomfortable.
Coupled with the densely packed steel needle-like spikes on the tail, it can definitely make people with trypophobia die on the spot.
"Ah! I smell blood, death, and delicious fresh meat."
As soon as it was summoned, the Manticore began to drool at the corpses of the dead monsters around it.
As a typical evil magical creature, although its IQ is not high, it has the most basic ability to speak.
But Zuo Si ignored the scorpion-tailed lion's desire for flesh and blood, and directly cast a second-ring prophecy magic [Visual Connection] to connect the summoned creature's vision with his own.
After the spell took effect, he immediately ordered: "Now fly over the river ahead and make a big circle northward along the edge of the city on the other side of the river. Remember, try not to be discovered by too many people."
Although the manticore looked a little reluctant because it did not get permission to eat, it still chose to follow the order obediently.
In the blink of an eye, it flapped the huge wings on its back and took off into the air, quickly turning into an inconspicuous black dot.
Zuo Si himself sat motionless in the carriage, observing the situation on the ground through the perspective of the scorpion-tailed lion.
With its superb flying speed and skills, the big guy soon crossed the river in front of it that ran across the entire Kingdom of Tesser, and saw a city standing at the mouth of the river, surrounded by towering walls.
There is no doubt that this is Myratma, the southernmost border city of the Kingdom of Tethyr.
It was once part of the ancient dwarven kingdom of Shanatar, but was later conquered and occupied by the rising Calishites.
It is said that there are still intricate tunnels underground, as well as many treasures left behind by the dwarves.
Myratma looks much like Manon to the south, and most of the buildings still retain the style of the Shain dynasty.
Whether it is the arched pointed roof designs or the three-story stone buildings on both sides of the street, it gives people the illusion that it should be part of Calimshan.
Normally, as an important hub and transit point for border trade, this place should be very busy and bustling.
But through the perspective of the scorpion-tailed lion, Zuo Si discovered that there was not a single person on the streets of the entire city.
Only the city walls and gates were filled with fully armed soldiers.
No! To be exact, they should be young and middle-aged civilians who were temporarily conscripted.
Although these people were wearing leather armor that looked somewhat old, and holding weapons such as spears, scimitars, and crossbows.
But it was not difficult to see from their terrified expressions and trembling reactions that most of them had not received military training.
Only under the supervision and urging of some officers and veterans were they forced to go to the city wall to defend the city.
After all, the previous proactive attack had caused Mailatma to lose almost two-thirds of its troops.
The previously active adventurers, mercenaries and major temples also suffered a devastating blow.
At the moment, apart from mobilizing the entire nation, the local lords probably can't come up with any other solution.
Outside the city walls, thousands of goblins, hobgoblins, bear goblins, orcs, orcs, gnolls, ogres, half-giants, wargs, lizardmen, snakemen, and many animals controlled by spells surrounded the city.
The hobgoblins, who were well versed in the ways of war, even commanded the cannon fodder goblins and captured humans to cut down trees and build all kinds of siege equipment to the best of their ability.
In the open space at the rear, one can clearly see at least four large siege towers, a battering ram, seven or eight crude and simple catapults and a large number of ladders.
Without a doubt!
This is a real army of monsters, not the bandits we encountered before who can only rob but have no ability to attack.
Once they launch a general attack, it will be basically impossible to stop them with the current strength and quality of Mailatma's troops.
At most, they can rely on the city walls, arrow towers, priests in major temples, and the few remaining mages and warlocks in the city to barely resist for a few days.
It is only a matter of time before it is lost and conquered.
Coupled with the large amount of food, steel, weapons, armor and other supplies obtained through looting, this huge army of monsters has no shortage of logistical supplies.
The arcane spellcasters among the snakemen and the priests among the orcs perfectly make up for the lack of spellcasters.
No wonder the defenders of Memnon thought that Myratma could be conquered and occupied at any time.
However, what Zuo Si found incomprehensible was how Wilmes could gather so many different kinds of monsters together?
And then we can ensure that they will not have internal strife, but will be as disciplined as an evil lawful army? (End of this chapter)
