The advantage of coming to Northern Battlefront City was obvious. The knights in Northern Battlefront City were all centaurs. As intelligent beings, although they would be affected by the Dragon Aura, the effect was minimal.
Of course, the warhorses in Northern Battlefront City would be affected as well. Suhlen planned to train the warhorses accordingly so that they could slowly get used to the Dragon Aura. Warhorses were actually very timid animals. It would take a long time for them to get used to the Dragon Aura.
However, Suhlen was not in a hurry. After all, the warhorses in Northern Battlefront City were mostly used for quick advance or retreat.
After returning to Northern Battlefront City, Suhlen immediately received news from Ayton. Suhlen had asked them to collect information about the Minotaurs. They had completed their mission.
"There are more than 300 Minotaurs in the tribe?" Suhlen looked at the drow scout in surprise.
"Yes, sir. After careful investigation, we finally confirmed their exact number. There are about 350 of them," the drow said respectfully.
Suhlen nodded. "A tribe of 350 people. Are there any Minotaurs in it?"
Minotaurs were the name of the Minotaurs after they advanced into the Legendary level. They were powerful and evil creatures. They liked to build mazes and lure their enemies into them to kill them one by one. Minotaurs were powerful and immune to mazes.
Wizards' mazes were ineffective against them. They were good at using giant axes as weapons. They were cunning and evil. They were one of the monsters that adventurers did not want to encounter the most. Minotaurs were powerful and had mazes that could make people dizzy. They were very difficult to deal with. Most importantly, the rewards were very low.
Unlike dragons, the Minotaurs did not like to collect treasures. Therefore, killing these monsters was often a loss.
"We didn't find any Minotaurs."
"Seems like we're in luck. This Minotaurs tribe did not give birth to such powerful creatures." Suhlen held his chin with one hand and leaned back in his chair.
"Sir, this is the map of the Minotaurs' territory. We've investigated it. There are no powerful creatures nearby."
After understanding the Minotaurs' strength, Suhlen began to prepare to wipe out the Minotaurs. After all, not only did the Minotaurs occupy the Obsidian Mine, but they also captured his people. If he did not rescue them, the Gray Dwarves' loyalty would decrease.
Following Suhlen's orders, the war machine of Northern Battlefront City began to move. Since they were going to fight in the Underground World, human spearmen were not suited for the environment. Suhlen planned to use Duergar, half-elf archers, centaurs, and harpies.
Humans did not have night vision, so fighting in a place like the Underworld was very inconvenient. In addition to these troops, Hathaway, Kris, Karina, and Alex would also go on this expedition. Without the help of spellcasters, the Taurens would suffer a lot of casualties.
Adult Minotaurs could reach the level of Knights. The Minotaur Warriors were generally Transcendent Tier 2, and the Berserk Minotaurs were Transcendent Tier 3.
The army of Northern Battlefront City gathered quickly. There were two hundred centaurs, four hundred dwarven defenders, three hundred half-elf archers, one hundred barbarian warriors, and three thousand harpies forming a huge team.
Suhlen led the army into the Underground World through the connecting tunnel. This was not their first time in the Underground World, so they quickly adapted to the environment. Under the lead of the drow scouts, the army of Northern Battlefront City advanced through the tunnels toward the Minotaurs' tribe.
The Minotaurs' tribe was northwest of the dwarf city of Orlando. They had to pass through five tunnels and three underground caverns. The Underground World's terrain was complicated, so the army moved slowly. Many of the tunnels were limited in width, so only five people could walk side by side. The army of Northern Battlefront City was stretched into a long line.
The movement of thousands of people was not small, so it naturally alerted many underground creatures. As soon as they entered the tunnel, a group of Hook Horrors fell from the sky. However, they could never imagine how powerful the enemy they were facing this time was. The two meter tall Hook Horrors were shot to death in the air before they could even attack.
The half-elf longbow's power could easily penetrate the armor of the dwarves at close range, so these Hook Horrors could block it. Moreover, the soldiers Suhlen brought this time all had night vision, so those Hook Horrors in the dark tunnels had already been discovered by Suhlen.
Other than the Hook Horrors, there was also a group of Lion Scorpion Beasts living in the underground caverns. When these Lion Scorpion Beasts noticed the army, they immediately hid. The Lion Scorpion Beasts were very intelligent, so they naturally knew how to avoid danger.
Suhlen recorded the positions of these Lion Scorpion Beasts. He was prepared to see if he could tame these Lion Scorpion Beasts in the future. The Lion Scorpion Beasts were also flying mounts. Although they couldn't compare to the Pterosaur, they were not any worse than the Hippogryph Knights and Griffin Knights. However, taming the Lion Scorpion Beasts was very difficult. Moreover, these beasts' tails could move, so the knights were worried that the Lion Scorpion Beasts would use their stingers to attack.
After passing through an underground tunnel, the army of Northern Battlefront City finally arrived near the Minotaurs' tribe. Suhlen didn't immediately attack, so he let the army rest.
He took out the Sky Illuminating Lamp and released a group invisibility spell. A grey energy barrier enveloped the army of Northern Battlefront City, and in the next second, the army of Northern Battlefront City disappeared without a trace.
All the soldiers began to rest. Traveling for a long time was very tiring, not to mention in a place like the underground world. The army didn't light a fire and they were very close to the Minotaurs' tribe. If they lit a fire to cook, it would attract the attention of the Minotaurs.
The army had brought rations with them. These rations were made by Suhlen from his previous world. He used dried meat, flour, potatoes, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, and diced vegetables to make stir-fried noodles before processing them into biscuits. It can be soaked in water or eaten directly.
These rations had a rough texture and the taste was not bad. Of course, according to Frodo, this was a complete waste of food, but for the army, this kind of food was very convenient.
The biscuits made from stir-fried noodles were very convenient to eat. There were vegetables, salt, and diced meat inside. Not only could it fill one's stomach, it could also provide vitamins. Of course, only Northern Battlefront City would spend so much effort on rations. The rations of other countries in this world were a mess. Black bread was the norm, and sometimes they didn't even have this kind of black bread mixed with wood shavings and stones.
Of course, the treatment of the elite army was very good. Northern Battlefront City's rations were not cheap, and only Suhlen was rich enough to add diced meat, sugar, and vegetable oil. The cost of a single serving of rations was two gold nars.
The army set up camp in the invisibility barrier and quietly ate the rations. After eating the rations, the army quickly took the time to rest. After the army set up camp, the drows all left to investigate the surroundings.
There was no difference between day and night in the Underworld. The creatures here slept according to their unique method of timing. The drows used magic pillars. Every day, the magic pillars would slowly light up from the lowest point, which meant the beginning of the day. When all the pillars lit up, it meant the end of the day, and then the magic pillars would begin to extinguish from the bottom to the top.
The dwarves used mechanical timing, and at the same time, they also had magic pillars similar to the drows. Suhlen didn't know the Tauren's timing tool, but he knew that it was now daytime.
Suhlen, who had night vision, was not affected by the darkness of the Underworld. He took out a monocular made of transparent crystal. Suhlen stood there and clearly saw the situation in the Tauren camp in the distance.
These Taurens had just finished a hunt and were enjoying their food. Although they were far away, Suhlen could still see that their prey was an underground salamander. The underground salamander was also a little overlord in the Underworld, but now it had become food for the Taurens.
An underground salamander was about five meters long. If you removed the tail that occupied half of its body, its body would be two or three meters long. This kind of underground creature had a fierce temperament. Even the manticore didn't like to provoke them, but the drows would domesticate these underground salamanders as mounts.
The strongest drows were the petrifying lizard knights, but they were rare. Generally, a petrifying lizard knight would lead a small team of underground salamander knights to form a patrol team.
The underground salamanders were slightly smaller than the petrifying lizards, but they didn't have the petrifying light of the petrifying lizards.
Seeing the Taurens barbecuing food, Suhlen didn't continue to pay attention. When he returned to the tent, Suhlen, Hathaway, Kris, and the others also began to enjoy the food.
Time passed by, and soon it was night in the Underworld. At this time, many animals began to come out to look for food. The camp in the northern city was still silent. A few wildebeests quickly disappeared after approaching.
The Tauren tribe in the distance also quieted down. Only the tall totem pillars were still shining. Suhlen waited until midnight before he began to move. Three thousand harpies flew into the sky, and Hathaway cast two spells to remove sound and smell.
Then the group of harpies began to approach the Tauren tribe. Suhlen led the dwarves in formation and began to quietly approach the camp. The half-elf archers behind him were ready.
Soon, the harpies arrived above the Tauren tribe. They were very familiar with this kind of air attack. With a command, a large number of molotov cocktails fell from the sky, and the Tauren tribe became a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
