Thin leather armor, crude swords, soft bows and crossbows, and boots with thin leather soles, five thousand soldiers who could only be associated with the word cannon fodder stood tremblingly in front of a cliff.
This cliff is gray and yellow, the rough rocks are jagged and protruding, and the cliff is more than 2,000 meters high and nearly 100 miles wide, as if it can collapse at any time, crushing all the creatures in front of it into pieces.
People who are not particularly gutsy can't even stand in front of this cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff, there is an irregular crater no more than 100 meters high and a few miles wide.
An eerie gray gas erupted from the cavern, carrying a pungent fishy smell.
Experienced people can smell it, and this is the peculiar smell of certain poisonous snakes, scorpions, and poisonous insects in the abyss.
A few miles away from this cave, there was a simple stone walled city, which was originally stationed here for more than 2,000 brave highland warriors, many of whom were not weak.
They were spontaneously formed by tribes of highlanders, patrolling here to guard against the invasion of abyssal creatures.
But now the walled city was washed in blood, and the heads of the highlander warriors were picked up by spears and hung at the head of the walled walls.
Arthur's flag of the Prince of the North Sea fluttered over the walled city, a small walled city with a radius of only one mile, which had been requisitioned by Arthur as his new headquarters.
Lin Qi stood on a rock, condescendingly overlooking this large canyon of the cliff.
Countless soldiers were converging along the passage between the mountains, like several poisonous dragons rolling between the mountains.
Tens of thousands of tents have been erected in this Grand Canyon, and I don't know how many soldiers are running around like headless flies, and I don't know what they are busy with.
Arthur apparently lacked enough qualified mid- and lower-ranking officers around him, and these soldiers were running around in a mess, but there was no one to restrain their behavior.
Only the five thousand poorly equipped soldiers were lined up in a fairly neat line, and under the urging of a few officers, they were cautious and cautious, and they took three steps forward and two steps back towards the huge cavern.
This team of 5,000 people is the vanguard army sent by Arthur.
It's just five thousand of them that have just put down farm tools.
After less than three months of intensive training, there were tens of millions of such soldiers in Arthur's hands.
Forcibly conscripting all the men of appropriate age into the army in the five major provinces gave Arthur a terrifyingly large army at his disposal.
Even if only 5,000 people are lost, no one will have any heartache.
The body shrinks to the size of a flea.
The donkey hiding in Lin Qi's ear whispered to Lin Qi what he had found last night.
He frothed at the mouth and described to Lin Qi the big breasts and hot bodies of those red succubi, and after commenting on the figures of nearly a thousand red succubi, he reported to Lin Qi that Esther's real body was hiding in the cave.
With 20,000 powerful Mithril puppets, nearly a thousand unfathomable red succubi, and the artifact-level ancient monster Deep Blue Heart, the power in Esther's hands is not trivial.
She hides and spies on the movements of Arthur's army, and Arthur is surrounded by a succubus who has bewitched Arthur in the dark.
Esther's little girl's scheming is terrifying.
Lin Qi and Mr.
Mo glanced at each other.
Mr.
Mo exhaled a deep breath: "If we don't know about her existence, maybe we will suffer a little loss."
But now that we know she's watching, she's the one who suffers.
The descendants of the Deep Blue Demon King and the Succubus Empress are really extraordinary.
It's strange how that little succubus managed to escape the surveillance of those gods in the Temple of Punishment."
Lin Qi pulled out a thick cigar, and he took a heavy puff of the cigar, spewing out a long smoke.
Then he pointed to the five thousand vanguard soldiers below who were about to enter the cave: "No matter how they did it, let's be careful."
This is the passage to the Fourth Abyss, without a detailed map.
How many lives would Arthur have to sacrifice to find out the exact passage?"
Mr.
Mo didn't say anything, just glanced at the soldiers who trembled into the cave with pity.
Located in the highlands, this entrance to the Fourth Abyss is the most striking of the known passages to the Abyssal World on the Western Continent.
However, for a long time, even the Church did not bother to set up a sealed battle fortress here, and was unwilling to waste its efforts to station Templars here to suppress it.
Because although this passage goes directly to the fourth abyss world, the terrain in the passage is extremely complex, and there are countless poisonous insects and demonic beasts.
There are also very few people who can enter the surface world through this passage safely.
Coupled with the fact that the fierce and warlike highlanders spontaneously formed a small army to garrison here, this was enough to prevent the low-level little demons and little demons who only got out of the passage every year by chance, and there was no need for the church to waste manpower and material resources here.
It's a dangerous passage that even the church doesn't find valuable.

Arthur, on the other hand, was to lead the army he had forcibly recruited to invade the Fourth Abyss through this passage Lin Qi and Mr.
Mo sneered at the same time, and they were really dazzled by women and lucrative benefits.
Arthur's desperate actions, even if his army could successfully reach the Fourth Abyss, would lose at least millions of soldiers on the way.
But compared to fighting all the way to the fourth abyss from the first, second, and third abyssal worlds through those already discovered passages, Arthur was helpless.
If he chooses to enter the fourth abyss through the already discovered passage, Arthur will have to sweep through the three abyssal worlds to be able to accomplish this goal, which will be too difficult.
Five thousand soldiers entered the cave, and within a quarter of an hour there was a terrible howl from the cave.
With a dull thunderous flapping of wings, a black expanse of poisonous bats flew out of the cave, stained with a large amount of blood and emitting a high-pitched dizzying cry.
About 4,000 soldiers fled from the caves, many of them scratched by the poisonous bats, and fell to the ground with black faces as they ran.
Dozens of magicians in red robes soared into the air, waving their wands and simultaneously unleashing their best fire magic on the blackened poisonous bats.
Hundreds of fireballs, large clouds of fire, and countless tiny rockets poured down like a storm, and suddenly countless poisonous bats screamed and were wrapped in a ball of fire, and a large group of bats fell from the sky, and the poisonous bats that flew out of the cave in a short time were swept away.
Several Punishment Knights in silver armor rushed forward with gloomy faces, and they shouted loudly, and once again pulled out five thousand soldiers who were pale with fright, and walked into the cave along with the surviving soldiers in front of them.
This time, more than a dozen clerics from the Temple of Punishment, as well as dozens of mages hired by Arthur from the mercenary guild, accompanied the poor soldiers into the cave.
With these powerful mages pressing the formation, the soldiers finally mustered up a little courage and pushed each other into the cave.
There were a few muffled cries of demonic beasts from inside the cavern, then the sound of swords clashing and bows and crossbows activating, and then powerful waves of magic tumbling out.
But this time it seems that the progress is not bad, at least the soldiers who took the lead are not defeated.
Heralds on horses galloped back and forth, and Arthur's orders kept coming.
One army after another, carrying large quantities of rations, marched into the caves.
It was clear that Arthur had the intention of using cannon fodder soldiers to investigate the details of the passage, and the soldiers who entered the cave first were all soldiers who had just been drafted.
They don't even have the most basic martial arts foundation, and many of them may not have killed even a chicken in their lives, but under the coercion of the military judge and the law enforcement team, they walked into the cave one after another, into the unfathomable underground world.
Lin Qi and his party sat here for several days, and after several new soldiers from the legion entered the cave, Arthur finally sent someone to invite Lin Qi into his headquarters to discuss matters.
When Lin Qi rushed to Arthur's headquarters with Mr.
Mo and a few others, he found that a magic sand table ten meters long and wide had been set up.
On the sand table is an extremely complex network of underground caverns, with a large number of points of light shining in them, several caves have been marked with a dazzling red, and only one cave still shines with a faint green light.
"His Royal Highness," Lin Qi bowed slightly to Arthur without being humble or arrogant.
He took a closer look at Arthur's spirit, as the donkey said, Arthur must have been happy with Alice day and night these days, Arthur, who was originally vigorous, has now withered like a flower bone that has not been watered for half a month.
Two heavy dark bags hung down from under his eye sockets, and his eyes became dull.
Especially Arthur's eyebrows, according to the donkey's mention, Lin Qi could feel that Arthur's eyebrows had extremely magical power fluctuations, but that power fluctuations were only two strands.
In other words, in the past few days, that Miss Esther has quietly sucked up more than half of Arthur's remaining six divine power crystals.
Seeing Lin Qi and his party, Arthur yawned and barely lifted his spirits.
"Mr.
Wanen Longshan, my brave and fearless soldiers, have advanced more than a hundred miles in the cave, and they have detected a safe passage.
But unfortunately, there is a group of dangerous dragon lizards entrenched there.
I hope... ” Lin Qi waved his hand lightly: "You don't need to say more, since our Longshan family is involved in this matter, then we will do our best to cooperate with your actions."
I'm going to personally lead the warriors of my clan into the passage and eradicate that damned group of demonic beasts. ” Without any nonsense, Lin Qi left Arthur's headquarters with the people.
When they were far away, Lin Qi gave an order to Mr.
Mo: "Gather the dragon power and them, and let them enter the passage together as mercenaries."
