Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

Because I had a very good rest last night and the yang energy was strong in the morning, the trophy, which had just softened, quickly became hard again.

"It's getting late, you should go back quickly." Linde said in a panic, turning around and leaving. "This place will soon become a battlefield, you should go back quickly."

"Okay." Efit smiled. "Master, you have returned victoriously. I will prepare a celebration banquet in the camp."

After the two separated, they walked in different directions. Lind went to make final preparations before the battle, while Efit came to the convoy that was ready to set off.

Since we had decided yesterday to return at dawn today, everything has been packed and we can just get in the car and go.

"My Lord, you are back." Soon, the people in the carriage saw Efit approaching. "When are we leaving?"

"You guys go back. I have something to do here, so I won't go back with you." Efit said.

The other members of the convoy did not suspect anything and nodded and set off, while Efit took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and went into the woods.

Chapter 244: Collapse of Defense Line

With the sound of a whistle, the new beastmen from each tribe took their positions one after another, ready to start a new day of battle.

Since the opponent was the Blood God's army, the enemy was very martial and did not use sneak attacks, detours, etc. The Blood God required his followers to fight uprightly.

Compared with the previous few days, the speed at which the new Beastman troops assembled had obviously slowed down a lot. They were moving very slowly and encountered many problems.

The charge by the Blood God Bronze Bull Riders yesterday morning dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the coalition forces, resulting in huge casualties. Even with the magic of the Mother Goddess of Earth restoring some of the casualties, such a huge loss of personnel made the coalition forces seem to be shrouded in a dark cloud called "low morale".

The banquet last night diluted the fear in the soldiers' hearts to a certain extent. Coupled with the loving words of the Mother Earth that kept echoing in their hearts, these soldiers barely regained some fighting will. However, when they held their weapons and stood in the same position as yesterday, it was inevitable that cowardly commotions broke out in the ranks again.

In the canyon that was already soaked with the blood of both sides, the group of terrifying Blood God Bronze Bull Knights from yesterday seemed like they would rush out at any time. Some new beastmen with poor psychological qualities even had hallucinations.

This situation is particularly likely to occur when fighting against the Blood God's troops.

Although there was some delay, the troops were still assembled before the enemy arrived. But soon, the commotion in the troops became more frequent because someone discovered that the Son of God was missing from the platform.

On the high platform where the commander was, there was only the figure of Lady Ilufa. Although Ilufa was nominally the leader of the coalition, the new beastmen all recognized the Son of God Linde as the leader. For the new beastmen, they had little culture and did not know what the Lord of the Son of God was. They only knew the Son of God of the Mother Earth, and now the Son of God was missing.

Soon, the commotion over the disappearance of the Son of God spread like wildfire throughout the entire army, and some of the new beastmen near the periphery even deserted.

All the shamans tried their best to calm their subordinates, constantly assuring them that the Son of God must have his reasons for not being there, and that he would definitely not escape alone. After much persuasion, morale was barely stabilized.

Ilfa, the commander, saw all of this, but she said nothing. She just watched quietly, and occasionally glanced at the top of the cliff with the corner of her eyes.

"Madam, the morale of our friendly forces has reached its lowest point. In this state, their defense will collapse with just one charge." Winter asked worriedly beside Ilfa.

"I know." Ilufa nodded, and then asked Ram on the other side, "Have our people gathered here?"

"All the teams from the camp, except those following Sir Lind, including the wounded, have gathered nearby," Ram replied.

Ilfa nodded. All the troops around the platform were from the camp.

"Sir Ram, have you planned your escape route?"

"Don't worry, I have made a perfect plan," Ram replied.

Yesterday afternoon, after Efit's convoy delivered the goods, Mrs. Ilufa gave Ram a special order. Make a retreat plan, and when the enemy launches a charge tomorrow, the entire army will retreat immediately.

This order surprised Ram for a while, because Ram knew that once the mountain pass was lost and the battlefield was moved to the plain, the coalition forces would be no match for the lion king Mara. However, after his wife and Lind explained it in detail, Ram understood the intention and made a retreat plan overnight.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong, Ram developed several retreat routes and at least three backup plans to ensure timely retreat in the event of an emergency.

If they continued to fight head-on, the coalition would surely lose. If they wanted to win, they had to change their tactics. Ram could understand, but he had to admit that Sir Lind's plan was too risky and there was no room for remedy. Once it failed, there would be no room for recovery.

Ram, a planner, hated this tactic, but he had no choice, after all, his boss had already agreed. Ram, who came from the bottom and became a regular mercenary, was sure that Lind would most likely become his immediate superior in the future.

I just don’t know whether to become a master or a young master.

"Bull! The bull is coming again!" At this moment, the ground shook again. It was almost the same situation as yesterday. The group of terrifying Blood God Bronze Bull Knights charged again.

The morale of the troops in the front collapsed before the enemy even got close. They turned around and fled, howling. No matter how the shamans shouted, it was of no use. Some troops even ran away with the shamans.

The rout of the front phalanx immediately caused a chain reaction, and the phalanxes behind also began to flee, but before they fled, they at least remembered to throw their javelins.

As they were not within range, the javelins were stuck in the ground, causing no harm to the enemy, but the dense javelins stuck in the ground also served as a barrier. The charging Blood God Bronze Bull Knights had to slow down when they were near the javelins.

Faced with this situation, Ilufa, the commander-in-chief, decisively ordered: "All troops! Retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the camp troops, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately began an organized retreat. The speed was so fast that the friendly forces were dumbfounded.

Not only the friendly forces, but also those Blood God Bronze Bull Knights who had not yet rushed out of the canyon, had eyes full of Ding Zhen's confusion under their brass helmets.

The enemy collapsed before I even started to exert any strength! ?

Even the Blood God's beastmen, who were not very smart, felt instinctively confused at this moment, but after a brief confusion, this group of Blood God's believers shouted the Blood God's war cry and rushed towards the wide-open mountain pass.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!" The deafening war roar gushed out from the mountain pass.

Among the only team that retreated in an orderly manner, Ilufa turned his head and looked towards the top of the mountain. In that direction, there were two figures waving at Ilufa.

"I leave it to you." Ilfa mouthed to the two figures.

At the same time, at the northern entrance of Dongshankou, the lion king Mara, who had been waiting for several days, received good news from the front.

"Your Majesty the Beast King! Those hairless and weak orcs have been defeated! We can pass through the mountain pass! Praise the great Blood God!" The Chaos Shaman, Luke the Hundred Braids, trembling all over, told the good news to the Lion King Mara on the throne.

"Then let's go." The lion king, Mara, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, picked up his thirsty axe and swung it forward. "All troops, attack! Cross the mountain pass! Sacrifice blood to the blood god! Sacrifice skull to the skull throne!"

Chapter 245: Er Woman

Three days, a full three days, the army of Chaos Beastmen stayed at the northern entrance of Dongshankou for a full three days.

Ever since Lion King Mara received the Blood God's wrath and oracle and set out to find Linde, the son of Mother Earth Goddess, Lion King Mara has never stopped. In two months, Lion King Mara first led his team to conquer all the Chaos Beastmen tribes in the northern part of Ivozhen Island. Some of the conquered Chaos Beastmen were offered as sacrifices to the Blood God, and the others joined Lion King Mara's team in various ways, either in the form of troops or food.

The Blood God represents blood and killing, and the Chaos Beastmen have no civilization to speak of, and their social level is equivalent to that of a gathering civilization. The combination of the two creates a terrifying situation, and wherever the Lion King Mara's team goes, no grass grows.

It's a bit exaggerated to say this, but Lion King Mara's team really destroyed everything they went to. They killed and robbed all the Chaos Beastmen tribes, and destroyed everything they could use and eat wherever they went. This reached its peak at Dongshankou. Looking north from the top of the mountain, a large area was literally barren.

As they had no concept of logistics, Lion King Mara's troops did not prepare food. They ate wherever they went, and solved their problems on the spot. The Chaos Beastmen who could not move forward ate everything to fill their stomachs. After eating all the food, they began to eat each other. The heads were offered to the Blood God, and the bodies were eaten. In a way, it was not a waste.

Therefore, although the defenses of Dongshankou have not been breached, the Chaos Beastmen's non-combat casualties in the past three days have been quite terrifying. However, due to the blessing of the Blood God, the Chaos Beastmen have not had any morale problems.

But this situation is about to end.

Yesterday’s Blood God Bronze Bull charge brought the morale of the enemies blocking the mountain pass to the brink of collapse, and today’s charge had just begun when the enemy fled.

When the news that the mountain road had been opened reached Lion King Mara, he immediately ordered the entire army to pass through Dongshankou. His axe was already thirsty for energy.

Eight hornless Chaos Beastmen who served as serfs struggled to lift the throne of the Lion King Mara, and followed the large army into the valley.

The valley was very narrow. If it wasn't for this, the Lion King Mara's team wouldn't have been stuck here for so long. Beside the throne, Chaos Shaman Luke the Hundred Braids swayed with every step, muttering incomprehensible language. The Chaos Beastmen around him, whose bodies had been highly metallized, should also be thirsty for blood, and their body temperatures were rising.

Sitting on the throne, the Lion King Mara looked at the axe in his hand, thinking about how to present the head of the son of the Mother Earth to the Blood God. At the same time, he was looking forward to the blessing promised by the Blood God.

The Blood God promised Mara, or rather, promised all believers that whoever could present the head of the Earth Mother Goddess's son to him would receive a generous reward and the right to stand before the Skull Throne. In the eyes of Lion King Mara, this reward was his, and the only problem now was to quickly find the weak son of God.

"Hurry up!" Thinking of the blessing of the Blood God, Mara could not wait any longer and kept urging the slaves who were carrying the throne.

Because the valley was narrow and it was impossible to pass quickly, no matter how impatient Mara was, he could not pass immediately. After walking for a long time, Mara arrived at the place where the chaotic army had previously confronted each other. Various obstacles directly prevented Mara's huge chair from passing.

The Chaos Beastmen slaves carrying the throne tried several times but failed to get through. Mara simply killed one of them with an axe, using force to urge them to find a solution quickly.

Leaning back on the chair, Mara looked up and saw a figure standing just above the cliff, leaning his head out and looking at him.

Although there was a distance between them, the power bestowed by the Blood God allowed Mara to recognize the other party in an instant. The Blood God's target was Linde, the son of the Mother Earth Goddess.

"Your woman." On the top of the mountain, Linde greeted the lion king Mara in a strange tone, then turned his head, waved behind him and gave orders.

Immediately afterwards, an iron ball with a diameter of one meter was pushed down from the top of the mountain and rolled down the mountain.

The movement above quickly attracted the attention of all the Chaos Beastmen. They all looked up and saw the iron ball rolling down from the top of the mountain.

The iron ball fell directly from above Marat. Marat, who was directly below the iron ball, stood up, gripped the axe tightly with both hands, and a grim smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

It’s just an iron ball. Watch me hit it back!

The iron ball rolled down the mountain wall, and about six seconds later, just as it was about to fall to the top of the valley, it suddenly exploded.

The violent explosion directly caused the mountain wall to collapse. A large amount of rubble fell down, instantly submerging many Chaos Beastmen including the Lion King Mara.

"Wow, this noise is as good as it is said to be." After a while, the explosion stopped. Linde, who was lying on the top of the mountain, carefully climbed to the edge of the rock wall and looked down. The entire valley was blocked by rubble, and the Chaos Beastmen's army was also divided into two.

The Chaos Beastmen that had already passed through were thrown into chaos, not knowing what was happening, while the Chaos Beastmen that had not yet passed through turned around and fled in a panic because of the violent explosion just now.

"Is the lion king dead?" Katie walked to Lind's side, stuck her head out, and looked at the chaotic valley below together.

"He should be dead." Lind pointed to the area covered by rubble. "It seems that the other fat man can be saved."

"What kind of name is that?" Alisa, who was lying on the ground, complained to Linde.

Lind named the two iron balls of explosion magic Little Boy and Fatty respectively.

"Is it over?" Elisa walked carefully to the edge of the cliff and stuck her head out to look directly below.

"It should be over... huh?" Just when Lind thought that the lion king Mara had been buried alive even if he was not dead, the situation suddenly changed.

"Roar!" With a roar of a beast, the lion king Mara suddenly broke free from the rubble pile on the north side and rushed towards the northern exit at the fastest speed.

"He's not dead yet!" Lind was stunned and shouted towards the north of the mountain top. "Hey! Sister Cynthia! Push the fat guy down!"

Cynthia, who had been prepared, pressed the iron sheet on the iron ball, then raised her foot and kicked the fat man down.

Another explosion occurred at the other side of the mountain pass.

Chapter 246: Finishing the Shot

When the explosion occurred in the valley, Ilufa, who had already retreated some distance, stopped.

The lady, who was nearly thirty years old but still youthful and beautiful, with a more mature charm, stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound after hearing the voice behind her.

The dense woods blocked Ilfa's view, but from the wind, Ilfa could feel the magical fluctuations coming from the direction of the canyon.

As a five-star magician of the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water, Illufa is very sensitive to magic, and is much more sensitive to the fluctuation of magic than ordinary magicians. This is also the bloodline ability of Illufa's mother's family, the Ainz family. With this ability, Illufa can keenly feel the fire magic in the air after the explosion of the Shaloman Stone.

Elisa also inherited Ilufa's bloodline and had the same affinity for all types of magic. It was also because of this characteristic of the Ainz family that the women of the Ainz family had always been one of the most popular marriage candidates among the nobles of the Holy Empire.

"Madam, please don't stop. We have to keep going." When the knight Winterer beside Ilufa saw the lady stop, he immediately urged her to keep going. "The enemy has already broken through the mountain pass and may attack us at any time. If we are caught by the main force of the enemy, it will be very dangerous."

To be honest, this retreat was very hasty, but there was no other way. The morale of the defenders was about to collapse. Not to mention holding out until tomorrow for reinforcements to arrive, they might not even be able to hold out for a charge.

Facts proved that the judgment of several professional soldiers was correct. The morale of the new beastmen collapsed and they fell into chaotic fleeing after just a face-to-face encounter before they even started fighting.

Since it was certain that the army would collapse, it was better to prepare in advance and retreat in an organized manner rather than fleeing at that time. Therefore, when the main force just began to retreat, all the troops in the camp retreated immediately and moved to the camp to preserve their strength. In order to ensure a smooth retreat, Ram also formulated several retreat routes and several contingency plans for special situations.

Of course, this was not an escape, but a turn. Lind did not admit defeat, but changed his tactics. He used the troops to retreat, allowing Lion King Mara to enter the narrow valley, and then, he greeted with two explosions.

Since it was a magic bomb that released explosive magic, Lind simply named it Explosive Bomb. For the sake of good luck, Lind also named the two explosive bombs Little Boy and Fatty, the same names as the secondary original that he was hit by before surrendering in his daily life before traveling through time.

Linde had seen the power of the Explosion Technique when he was bombing the mines in Illufa. It was extremely powerful. With two Explosion Bombs, as long as the leader could be killed, the remaining Chaos Beastmen would fall into chaos without a leader, and the crisis would naturally be resolved.

At the urging of his men, Ilufa continued to move forward. As soon as he turned his head, another loud noise was heard and the second explosive bomb exploded.

This time, not only Ilufa stopped, but everyone subconsciously stopped and looked towards the valley.

"Both of them exploded." Ilfa's sister-in-law, Sister Shanoya murmured.

"Did we win?" Winter said uncertainly.

Everyone present knew that these two explosive bombs were the last hope. If neither side’s explosive bombs could destroy the Lion King, then it would be the end.

Fenrir in the team had the urge to turn back. If Lind hadn't ordered her and all the werewolves to retreat with Ilufa, the werewolves would never have retreated.

At this moment, Fenrir's nose twitched and the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger.

"The enemy is coming!" Fenrir shouted, and then in the distant forest, a group of Chaos Beastmen with flames all over their bodies, howled in pain, and rushed towards the army in the camp.

--------

A little earlier, on the top of a mountain just above the valley.

The explosive bomb was so powerful that the entire mountain shook. With the experience of the first time, when the second explosive bomb was pushed down, everyone on the top of the mountain lowered their bodies or simply lay down like Lind, so as not to be affected by the shaking of the explosion.

When the second explosion dissipated, everyone on the top of the mountain leaned out and looked down. In the northern part of the mountain pass, rubble blocked the other side of the exit, sealing off the central area of ​​the valley.

In the center of the valley, dozens of Chaos Beastmen were stuck and unable to get out, and there was no sign of Mara.

"Hey! Has the lion escaped?" In order to confirm the situation, Lind shouted towards the north.

"No! He didn't escape!" Benio, the leader of the sheep tribe beastmen in the north, responded. "Mara didn't escape!"

To be on the safe side, Lind placed two explosive bombs in the north and south respectively, so that if they failed to kill him, at least they would block him inside.
