In the past half a year or so, there have been two riots in the underground city of Comilla.

The first time it happened was eight months ago, in mid-July last year.

According to the follow-up reports of the Saco knights stationed in the caves outside the freshwater lake, the number of faceless men who emerged from the caves in that riot was at least two thousand. At that time, the defenders led by Sacco only had a brigade of 300 people, some of them were horror mercenaries, and a small number of regular soldiers trained by Auriel. Both of these can be regarded as good arms, but they are not many in number, accounting for only half of the soldiers in Sakho's hands, and the remaining half are militiamen.

A militia recruited from Ghost Knife Port.

The individual strength of the Faceless Ones is not bad, at least not worse than the horror mercenaries, nor worse than any regular legion soldiers in the human world. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Sacco to lead a mere brigade, half of which is militia, against more than 2,000 Faceless Men.

However, Shaco held the cave entrance.

He led three hundred people and guarded the entrance of the cave for three days, not to mention repelling the enemy's attack. His own loss did not exceed fifty people, but the enemy left nearly two hundred corpses behind.

Such a record can be called a miracle.

The reason why the "miracle" was able to be played was not because the soldiers suddenly exploded, but because Sacco's command was relatively appropriate and he made good use of the geographical advantage.

The geographical environment here in the cave is really special, and the bonus to the defensive side is so high that there are no friends. Regardless of how many troops the Faceless Ones have sent, the caves that start from the depths and extend to the surface are constantly narrowing. Inside, there may be more than a dozen people walking side by side, but at the back, four or five people can walk side by side, and it will appear crowded. And at the exit position, it is not bad to be able to squeeze out three people at the same time.

Under such circumstances, using spears, bows and arrows, and having been stationed here for such a long time, to establish defensive measures along the passage of the cave, and to fight for three days, Sacco didn't need fifty people. The price was to face four or five times as many enemies and kill fifty faceless men.

Coincidentally, since there have been riots in the underground world, and thousands of enemies have flocked to the exit of the cave, it is impossible for it to happen only once. Obviously, the dungeon of the Faceless Man must have discovered the situation on the surface.

In October last year, after a three-month interval from the first underground riot, the second riot came.

This time, the enemy's approach is even more ferocious.

The timing of this second riot was very troublesome. It was just in October, when the Great War of Schindler had just kicked off, and the army led by Dane approached the city of Iron Spike. However, at this time, there was a fire in the backyard.

The number of faceless men who participated in the attack, according to the estimation of Sako Knight afterwards, probably reached the number of ten thousand. But fortunately, the army he led at that time also had two thousand people.

Although, among the two thousand people of Sakho, the militia is still the main force, and the real main force is only a mixed force of less than one brigade. After all, Dane, who was fighting in Schindler at the time, couldn't deploy too many main players to Cormyr, who was supposed to be the rear.

However, the result of this second riot was almost exactly the same as the first one.

The Faceless have a huge numerical advantage, but they still have no way to break through the dominant defender. Sacco relies on the terrain to lay out the defense line, which is almost watertight.

After seven days of fighting, the Faceless Men had no choice but to retreat after leaving behind a thousand corpses.

Until now, Dane himself has basically put down the idea of ​​the army swinging into the ground. Just as it was difficult for the Faceless Ones to reach the surface, it was also difficult for Dyne's forces to go underground to fight them. Although the Faceless Men didn't deploy defenses in the opposite direction of the cave, and they didn't even seem to be very strong in reconnaissance, but the underground world is not that wide. City, Dane didn't know how many casualties he would have to pay.

Sombra is very valuable, but now that he has a well-opened somite vein, the demand is not so strong—at least not so strong that he is willing to pay the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers to fight a battle.

However, it would be a good choice to leave these faceless men to Freya and her group of priests who are too idle.

If Freya knew that she had been labeled as an 'idle ass' in Dane's heart, the proud female knight would definitely explode in anger. However, she couldn't see through Dane's heart. In fact, just as Dane hoped to see, this girl is boosting morale, organizing the team, and preparing to enter the "monster full of thousands of monsters corrupted by the power of the old gods" that Dane said 'Go inside the Underworld.

Of course she is not stupid enough to think that with a group of priests, she can purify the underground world where there are a lot of faceless people~IndoMTL.com~ If she really thought that way, she would have brought a group of priests with her Rush into Cinderella and Larry dies. In fact, Miss Knight just intends to enter the underground world to investigate the situation. After all, the information Dane mentioned is too general, and she needs to conduct a careful investigation in person before she can draw a reliable conclusion.

…

Three days later, the cave guard and the commander of the Comilla garrison, Knight Sako, reported that Freya and dozens of priests had passed through the entrance of the cave and entered the cave. The underground world.

However, at this time, Dane has no interest in paying attention to Freya. In any case, the female knight and her group of priests can only be regarded as a small episode for Dane. Perhaps, it would be useful when fighting demons in the future, but he never expected much help from them.

Right now, Dane puts all of his thoughts on Auriel Nadu, who has been promoted to the fifth level.

The tree of life has advanced to become the tree of eternity, this direct performance is already surprising enough. During these six days, every resident of Orienado witnessed with their own eyes that the tree of life, which was already considered huge in size, became stronger and deeper in just six days. The green leaves are gradually covered with a layer of silvery-white metallic color.

The silver veins represent eternal power.

The moment Auriana completed the upgrade, the surging power of life spread widely, and almost every elf was heartfeltly rejoicing about it.

As for Dane, the most important thing for him is to refresh the building list of the territory again.
