Edge of the Apocalypse

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!There are many small red fireflies swimming in the darkness, and when there is a long muffled noise in the darkness, fire light comes in.The firelight cut through the darkness like a sharp blade, and the wandering red fireflies dispersed immediately as if fleeing for their lives.The fire is getting brighter, and the area thrown into the darkness is getting bigger and bigger.In the fire, the two stone gates were opening with difficulty, and a group of strong soldiers on each side pushed open the stone gates forcefully.The door leaf is moving along the track that has been abandoned for many years. The stone beads that have not been oiled for a long time are violently rubbing against the track, and stone powder is constantly sprayed out and sprinkled on the door.When the door opened wide enough to accommodate two carriages passing side by side, the two groups of soldiers had no strength, and one by one sat down on the ground and panted.

Alan and Rodk walked in, and some soldiers raised the torch. From the light of the fire, there was a hall behind the door.Big and tall, Allen kicked a rock from the ground.The stone slid into the darkness, and the sound of breaking through the air kept going away, and finally disappeared.Allen was slightly surprised, judging by the sound, the area of ​​this hall was almost comparable to the palace on the morning hill.

Rodk made a gesture. Soldiers passed by the two of them continuously. They took the torches and dispersed them, spreading the flames.It turned out that there were braziers on the side of the mountain wall on the left and right of Shimen. Soldiers put down the prepared wood in the brazier, pour it with fire oil, and use the torch to light up the brazier.The braziers lit up one after another, and the fire light illuminated most of the ground hall.The ground hall is very spacious, and the huge space always makes people feel a sense of awe, and this is no exception.The hall is lined up with stone pillars in an orderly manner. There are three rows of stone pillars. The pillars are ten meters apart in length and width. These pillars support the dome, and even if the years pass, the dome will not collapse.And in the four corners of the entire hall, each has a huge sculpture.Sculptures or portraits, or giant beasts, without exception, these sculptures support the dome with their hands or backs, as if these things have been guarding the hall for hundreds of years.However, it can be seen that these sculptures are only in rudimentary form. It seems that the craftsmen were forced to withdraw from the underground hall before they could finish the work.

Or maybe they were left behind by hellworms?

This can be imagined from the bones scattered everywhere in the underground hall, and human bones can be seen everywhere on the ground.There are only two or three bones scattered in some places, bone mountains are piled under some pillars, and skulls are everywhere. I don't know how many people have died before so many corpses appear.When Allen was looking at the hall, soldiers had already begun to clean the hall.Said it is cleaning, that is, sweeping the bones scattered in the middle to both sides, so as to facilitate the passage of troops and vehicles.

Soon an aisle was cleared out, and Rodek gave an order, and the team moved to the other side of the hall.There was an arch at the end of the hall, and the arch had a door.But now two stone gates are scattered on the ground, and there are many corpses under one stone gate.From the direction in which Shimen fell and the distribution of nearby corpses, Allen could roughly imagine.At that time, the two stone gates were supposed to be closed, but they were pushed down from the outside by hellworms, and this situation was formed.Rodk said that hellworms are like large centipedes.They are good at burrowing, living deep underground, spraying poisonous fire, and having a very hard shell, making it difficult for ordinary swords to break them.They usually act in groups, among which there is a queen among the hellworms.The power of the worm queen is terrible. In addition to the characteristics of ordinary hell worms, this worm queen can also emit screams that affect human hearing, and can freely control the source power, so it has some exclusive special abilities.

Ordinary hell worms are black long worms, but there are some hell worms that look like beetles and their shells are deep red.They don't breathe fire, but the beetles are hard and have two forelimbs like sickles. These insects are the guards of the queen.If the queen appears, you will see such a guardian bug.

Rodk said that it is impossible for the army to pass through the tunnel silently, and it will definitely be noticed by the hellworm.He only hoped that the people attracted by the sound were ordinary bugs, not the queens and guards.In order to protect the entire army, Allen also made some arrangements.He and Lucy are at the front of the team, and Celine will be in charge of the back.Rodke is responsible for the middle, and Belmode is responsible for mobile reinforcements.The spread of these powerful men should be enough to protect the whole army from the attack of hellworms.

It's just that the preparations are done enough, and we'll see if it works.

At this moment, Ellen and Lucy rode together and walked in front of the army.Behind them is the imperial cavalry. It is difficult for the cavalry to play a role in this environment. There is not enough space for them to complete the tactical action of the charge, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.At this time, the Pikemen and Musketeers had the advantage, followed by the infantry, and then the cavalry.Of course, the cavalry can also dismount to fight, but that is meaningless.

After passing through the arch in the heart of the hall, there is a tunnel ahead.The tunnel was very wide, four meters high, and the front was dark in the firelight, like a passage to hell.Human bones can also be seen in the tunnel. Strangely, the corpse of a hellworm cannot be seen.Rodk didn't mention this, and he didn't know whether the hellworm's corpse was transported back to the depths of the earth for the same kind, or was eaten directly by the same kind.

Another thing worth noting is that there are large and small holes on both sides of the tunnel and the dome.The fire and the light couldn't see the end even when they entered, I don't know where these holes lead to, and how long and deep they are.Of course there won't be these natural things in the tunnel, so most likely, it should have been drilled by hellworms.Lucy shuddered at the thought of bugs coming in and out of these many holes.

Allen patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

She hummed.

It seems that because the atmosphere of the mountain belly tunnel is relatively depressing, no one speaks, only the sound of horses and footsteps.Calculating the time should be noon, the whole army rested in the tunnel.Alan and Lucy were sitting in a corner, and soldiers brought them to eat and drink.When the army rested and rehabilitated, it was as much as possible to concentrate in the middle of the tunnel according to Rodek's orders, but there were also soldiers who wanted to be cool, sitting near the wall, whizzing from the wind from the holes.Some soldiers even fell asleep in the wind, and at this moment, there was a cry of exclamation behind Allen.Allen suddenly stood up and followed the sound, just in time to see a soldier got into the hole.He was already in the hole above the waist, and he stomped around with his feet and suddenly swooped in.When Allen arrived, there was no human figure inside, only some blood remained on it.

Rodk heard the sound, looked at the scene with a solemn expression, and said: "You can't rest anymore, let's go quickly, I'm afraid the bugs have already discovered us."
