He was laughing wildly.
An orc beside him shouted, "Hey, why is there a line under the mine you dug out?"
"What?" The goblin looked down and found that there was indeed a line under the mine. The line was buried by leaves and no one knew where it would lead to. Just now, he had pulled out a lot of this line.
However, it didn't know that there was an "insurance" connected to the other end of the line, which was the "paper that made the runes ineffective". With a pull of the line, the paper had been pulled open, which meant that the hidden mine was "unlocked".
The group of orcs who were standing aside and watching the line up felt a huge magic burst out from under their feet! The orcs flew into the air again.
Stunned for a while, the goblin said, "sure enough, this thing only explodes the orcs, not me. Hahaha, it doesn't explode me!"
As soon as he thought of this, the mine in his hand exploded!
For a moment, there were explosions everywhere on the hillside opposite the north gate. Sometimes a mine blew dozens of orcs up to the sky, making dozens of them cry.
The alliance of the monsters was not organized as a whole, but divided into different tribes.
Therefore, a tribe wouldn't gain the experience of another tribe. Every tribe had to take all kinds of evils seriously.
The explosion caused the allied army of the monsters to be in a mess. They knew that Mondra beside the east city gate had already started a fierce battle. At this time, attacking the north gate of Bright Road would get the best result, but they could easily explode at any time, so they did not dare to move forward at the fastest speed.
Originally, they were in high spirits and prepared to gather a huge army outside the north city gate. But now, they were blocked 1000 miles away from the city. The whole army's movements became as slow as a snail. They could only carefully try to move forward.
Seeing what was going on outside the city, the black earth knight in charge of guarding the city couldn't help but feel happy, He turned around and saluted to Robb, "Mr. Robb, the multiple conditions mines you invented is really useful. The first time it is put into actual combat, you got a great result and blew up many orcs. Haha, if we want to kill so many orcs in the usual war, it will take us a lot of effort. Many people will be injured or killed in the battle. I didn't expect that we could kill so many without a single soldier today."
Robb shrugged his shoulders and said, "it's not a big deal to kill a few orcs. The real function of the mine array was never to kill anyway. It's a strategy, and its goal is to slow down the enemy's movement speed..."
The black earth knight was suddenly enlightened, "Oh! The enemy was afraid of the mines, so they moved very slowly. At such a speed, it would take a long time to reach the last 1000 yards. Their attacking time was greatly delayed, and once the battle at the east city gate was over, the main force would immediately come to guard the north gate.
That's right. This thing's strategic effect was far better than their tactics!
The Black Earth Knight seemed to have learned something and even thought a lot. He would suggest to Duke and the queen to set a large number of mines outside the Crystal Valley, so that they wouldn't have to worry about the sudden attack of the desert kingdom like last time.
After a long time, the monster army finally went through the mines with mud all over their faces. They paid the price of nearly three hundred lives, and there were more casualties. Of course, in this world of sword and magic, injury was not a big deal. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as he did not die, he could always be revived.
Dozens of ogres and orcs kept talking about recovering magic behind the arrays. Their intelligence was very low, and the single healing effect was very poor, but it didn't matter. Anyway, they could be regarded as living physicians. The monsters were always war maniacs who didn't want to die.
After passing through the mine area, they finally gathered on an open space between the north gate of the city and the Black Pine Mountains . The size of this army was really not small. Robb glanced around and found that there were about three thousand or four thousand orcs and only more than 1000 ogres. However, there were countless ogres in the forest. Looking around, he was afraid that there were more than ten thousand goblins.
Goblins were very timid and despicable creatures. When they were fewer than humans, they would be timid and dare not attack humans. But when they were in large numbers and formed an army, they would become fearless and dare to provoke all kinds of enemies.
The Black Earth Knight couldn't help but change his face. "Why are there so many brothers? Even if this isnt all the brothers in the Black Pine Mountain, they should be creatures without discipline and it is almost impossible for them to gather together. Why do they look so harmonious now?"
Robb said with a smile, "generally speaking, there should be something like a devil king in the depths of the Black Pine Mountain. Tut, tut, tut, or the organization of the monsters can't be so high."
The Black Earth Knight seriously considered this question and said, "devil king? That's impossible! The devil king city should be far away from the Black Pine Mountain. The devil king's influence can't be so far away."
Robb said, "is the way of thinking of a knight so rigid? Can't monsters choose two devil kings? There are human kings everywhere. The kingdom of Gran has a queen and a queen, the desert has a king, the Kingdom of Norma has a king, the Big Tang has a rabbit king. It's not surprising that there are two devil kings in the fiend, right?"
The Black Earth Knight was speechless
On second thought, it seemed to make sense. There was a rumor that there was a devil king city far away a long time ago, but no one stipulated that the monsters in the Black Pine Mountains could not choose a devil king as well. It made sense that a mountain range was equal to a kingdom of monsters.
When the two of them talked about this, the monsters could no longer restrain their desire to attack. They were not well organized and trained, and there was no strict discipline in the army. The orcs were behind, while the goblins in front of them let out a strange cry and rushed towards Bright Road.
"What are these madmen doing?" The Black Earth Knight shouted, "how dare you attack without bringing any weapons?"
Robb shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself, [a monster is a monster. What weapons should I pay attention to when I attack a city? Of course they just rush! But it's not a bad idea. Rushing forward will show how barbaric you are. Let me show you that with the development of technology to a certain extent, you can defeat such barbarians.]
