Chapter 644 We May Be Heading Towards Our Grave
During the previous month of training, Xue Feibai and his companions had already raised their strength to the peak of the sixth rank.
It's just one step away from the seventh rank.
If Anno hadn't told them to restrain themselves, they could have advanced to the seventh rank before even arriving in the Dwarf Kingdom.
The wartime promotion was merely a means to conceal the Pandora's box within as much as possible.
"The Twelve Kings of the Adventurers' Guild?"
Upon hearing Liz's words, the seventh-tier dwarf Del squinted at Xue Feibai, who was covered in blood and receiving treatment from Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen, as well as Lu Zhishang, who was fighting against other dragon scorpions. He thought to himself: I've only ever heard of the Ferocious Tiger and the Destruction Dragon from the Adventurers' Guild.
When did the Twelve Kings suddenly appear?
Moreover, would someone who can be ranked alongside Xue Feibai and others be weak?
"Miss Liz, may I ask what the strength of the Twelve Kings of the Adventurers' Guild is?"
Del asked very politely.
This was the first time Del had heard of information about the Twelve Kings.
He guessed that even Owen didn't know about this.
So Del wanted to get as much information as possible from Liz.
Upon hearing this, Liz said calmly, "Xue Feibai and the other two have only just qualified as members of the Twelve Kings!"
"Just qualified?"
Del paused for a moment.
Those three had just advanced to the seventh rank.
In other words, the strength of the twelve kings is at least at the seventh level!
Besides Anno, the Adventurers' Guild actually has twelve high-ranking members?
Where did the Kingdom of Nigar come from to have so many high-ranking officials?
Del misunderstood Liz's meaning.
He thought the twelve kings were now in full force.
However, currently, including Liz and Sassi, there are only five people.
"No wonder Lord Owen has been urging us to maintain a good relationship with Anno. Just how much strength is the Adventurers' Guild hiding?"
Del is a general who came from the Dwarven Kingdom to provide support, and he has not yet fought alongside Anno.
"Should we go down and help now?"
Del, seeing the dragon scorpions closing in again, began to ask Liz for her opinion.
Liz glanced at the dragon scorpion below, shook her head, and said, "Leave it to the adventurers and your soldiers below."
We don't know what unexpected situations we might encounter along the way, so we should conserve our strength for any eventuality.
Upon hearing this, Del immediately ordered the dwarven soldiers who had come to reinforce him to join the battle.
Meanwhile, mercenaries and dwarf professionals hired from another direction have also arrived to provide support.
The number of dragon scorpions dwindled until they were wiped out by the troops within half an hour.
By this time, the main force of the dwarves had been waiting outside the hills for some time.
Faced with the fact that the road was almost completely destroyed, Owen was helpless.
They had no choice but to obediently lead their troops on a detour.
If we just grit our teeth and go in, the large equipment might become impossible to move.
It's possible that the troops will take longer to march than to take a detour.
While the main force was taking a detour, a birdman appeared in the airspace near Sagunto.
This is Uula's shadow.
It was ordered by Anno to go to the vicinity of Sagunto to scout out the dragon scorpion's movements.
"How can there be so many dragon scorpions?"
Looking down at the plain below, Uula saw countless dragon scorpions surrounding Sagunto and felt a chill run down his spine.
Roughly estimated, there are at least ten to twenty thousand dragon scorpions outside the plains!
This is just one direction.
Although Uula didn't go to the other three locations, he could guess that the number there wouldn't be less than here.
"If it's like this outside, what will happen inside the city?"
After circling for a while, Uula decided to risk entering the city to take a look.
Whoosh!
Uula transformed into a black shadow and flew from outside the city to above the already ruined Sagunto.
However, when they were still several hundred meters away from Sagunto, one after another, dragon-shaped creatures with scorpion tails suddenly flew up from the direction of the city!
"Should we go straight to the second stage to defend the airspace?"
Anno had quite a few seventh-tier dragon scorpions, so Uula naturally knew that the dragon-shaped creature in front of him was a second-tier dragon scorpion with its armor removed.
"Seriously, isn't this a bit too much?"
Looking at the dozen or so dragon scorpions surrounding her, all radiating seventh-order magical energy, Uula's once intelligent eyes lost their intelligence.
swish swish...
One after another, [Tail Spike Cannons] flew from all directions toward Uula, who was surrounded in the middle.
......
"Master, my clone is gone!"
With half of its tongue dangling out, Uura's true form fluttered its wings and landed beside Anno, reporting to Anno the circumstances surrounding the shadow's death.
After listening to the story, Anno thought for a while and then immediately went to find Owen.
"President Anno, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
Owen was somewhat puzzled.
Although the troops are taking a detour, they have not yet encountered a large-scale attack from the dragon scorpions.
The occasional dragon scorpions they encountered were only small groups, hardly enough to "fill the gaps" of the dwarf soldiers' teeth.
"Lord Owen, there's something I need to ask again!"
Anno asked solemnly, "How many high-ranking dwarves are there in the four dwarven units involved in this operation?"
Owen frowned.
This is theoretically a military secret.
No one but the general can know this.
But Anno is, after all, the president of the Adventurers' Guild and an eighth-tier powerhouse.
They even knew that the God Hunters were going to participate in this war, so they didn't care about that anymore.
Upon thinking this, Owen's brow immediately relaxed, and he quickly replied, "There are thirty-three dwarf generals of the seventh and eighth tiers!"
"Thirty-three?"
Anno nodded.
The Kingdom of Nigar only has about thirty or forty high-ranking members (not counting the high-ranking members of the temple).
Anno guessed that the actual number of high-ranking members in the Dwarf Kingdom should be around several dozen to a hundred.
The fact that over thirty high-ranking officials were dispatched to recapture Sagunto confirms Anno's conjecture.
Normally, this number of high-level units should be enough to deal with the Dragon Scorpion army.
However, the number of high-level dragon scorpions that Uula's shadow saw before she died was clearly abnormal.
Near the city walls of Sagunto, there were more than a dozen seventh-tier dragon scorpions guarding the area.
This is just one section of the city wall.
Based on this calculation, there are at least forty high-level dragon scorpions in Sagunto.
This is still the most conservative estimate.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Dragon Scorpion God used Pandora to create a large number of high-level dragon scorpions.
Several months have passed; who knows how many high-level dragon scorpions are now in Sagunto?
There might be more than just one or two ninth-tier dragon scorpions.
Instead, it was a group.
If that's really the case, then the dwarven army isn't going to retake Saguntor right now.
Instead, it's a journey to the grave!
If the three god hunters are unable to defeat the Dragon Scorpion God, or if the war is disrupted by gods such as Leopold.
Even if the four dwarven armies arrived at Sagunto, they would not be a match for so many high-ranking dragon scorpions.
Anno's current strength is only enough to make waves in the eighth tier.
Facing a ninth-rank opponent, he might not even be able to escape even if he wanted to!
"Lord Owen, I hope you are prepared for the worst."
Anno said with a gloomy face, "The current situation in Sagunto may be a little different from what we guessed before!"
