1854. Arrival of the Dry Tide
"Drums? Where? "Although Akai was drunk, he still had basic judgment. He quickly stood up. But because he had drunk too much, his body swayed and he almost fell. He was supported by a grey-robed guard next to him.
Ogan's expression was solemn. He stared in the direction of the fortress entrance and did not speak for a long time. Suddenly, he shouted, "Stop!! Everyone stop!! "
Major General Akai also felt that Ogan did not look like he was joking. He immediately found his adjutant and gave a few instructions. A moment later, a loud order came from the loudspeaker, "Everyone stop immediately!! Don't make a sound! Otherwise, you will be punished by military law!!! "
Everyone present was a professional soldier. Whether it was the grey-robed guards or the Red Police Corps, they were all elites among the soldiers. Although they were in the middle of a banquet, two-thirds of the troops were still on guard and did not drink. The soldiers who were drinking immediately put down the wine glasses in their hands and quietened down.
The entire Alta City was suddenly silent. The sound of the usually inconspicuous machinery was now exceptionally obvious. But other than that, there was no other sound.
"What did you hear? Ogan. "Major General Akai asked.
"Drums …" Ogan's voice was extremely low. It was unknown whether he was afraid of disturbing something or afraid of disturbing the silence.
But Major General Akai still did not hear anything. But soon, almost all the grey-robed guards present stood up. Their faces were solemn as they listened outside the fortress. At this time, if he still did not know what was happening, he would be an idiot. He quickly called the messenger, "Immediately inform the observation center and report the radar scan!"
Soon, communication came from the observation center, "There is no response from the radar, and nothing is seen from the observation tower."
Major General Akai frowned. He wanted to order the entire army to be on guard, but he was worried that the noise would cover up what should be heard. So, he hesitated and did not give the order.
But soon, everyone heard it!
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! A low drum sound came from a dark abyss. Beat by beat, beat by beat, and the drum sound was slowly getting louder. It seemed to be getting closer! Soon, the entire Path of the Abyss echoed with the echo of the drum sound.
Ogan's face suddenly turned pale. "Andraste above … Dry Tide!! It's Dry Tide!!! "
"All units! Prepare for battle immediately!! Send out the drones immediately!! " Major General Akai sobered up in an instant. He jumped up and shouted, "Don't you gray-robed guards have the ability to sense it? Didn't you sense it? Why didn't you know until the dry tide slapped your face!!! "
"There's no response! Why can't I sense anything?! "Ogan was also unable to answer this question.
"There are only two possibilities. One is that our senses have been blocked by someone …" An old gray-robed guard muttered. "The other possibility is that the Great Demon that came this time is much stronger than what we've heard before!"
"No! This was absolutely impossible!! It had been less than three years since the end of the fifth drought! How could the sixth drought appear so soon?! " Ogan roared loudly, but his hands were not careless. He quickly grabbed his two huge broad axes in his hands.
…
At the same time, at the very bottom of Ozma, in the mausoleum that belonged to the Dwarven Kings of the past, strange sounds came from the beautifully carved coffins! Then, the lids of these coffins were pushed open from the inside, and dusty, withered skeletal claws stretched out from the coffins!
Around the mausoleum of the kings, the corpses of the guards who were buried together with them also moved! One by one, the withered corpses wearing dwarven heavy armor sat up and picked up the weapons and shields they used when they were alive. From their empty eye sockets, a ball of blue soul fire suddenly ignited!
And in the deepest part of the Dwarven Kingdom, where the bones of countless dwarves were buried, was even more terrifying! Countless dark blue flames lit up in the endless underground cave, like stars in the sky!!
Not only that, but in the bustling city of Ozma, some cloaked people who looked like cultivators were walking stealthily towards the densely populated areas. They exchanged glances with each other and then split up. In their eyes, there was a sea of scarlet!
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!! At the Orta defense line, the sound of drums was deafening! What followed was a cacophony of roars and footsteps! And an incomparably thick black fog had completely enveloped the front of the defense line!
There were also many mages among the grey-robed guards. They raised their staffs and released rays of light, preventing the black fog from getting close to the defense line. And all the soldiers were in position. The grey-robed guards were also holding the long-range weapons provided by the Red Police Corps, assault rifles, rocket launchers, and so on. But the longswords and shields that they carried with them were still placed beside them. Long-range firepower suppression was one thing, but after the cruel battle really started, what they really trusted was still the weapons that they had been using for a long time.
Above the defense line, the magnetic storm coil had already begun charging. This 15-meter-tall building that looked like a Christmas tree was surrounded by thick Tesla coils, and at the top was a metal ball about a meter in diameter. With a strong energy supply, the electric current would be compressed through the Tesla coils, accelerated, and then shot out from the ball. It was so powerful that even tanks could not withstand a few electric shocks!
The prism tower was also ready. Not only that, the automatic machine gun turrets and rocket turrets were also pre-aimed and loaded, ready to fire at any time.
Suddenly, the magnetic storm coil lit up brightly, and a powerful electric current spun through the Tesla coils, then gathered on the metal ball at the top, and shot out with a bang. The dazzling electric light instantly pierced through the black fog! Then, an inhuman howl came from the black fog!
"The enemy is approaching!! Open fire!! Open fire!! "At the command of all levels, all the firepower in the entire Orta defense line immediately poured out!
Da da da da! Da da da da! Da da da da!! Countless gunshots, cannons, and explosions rang out in unison! Although the results of the battle could not be seen clearly through the black fog, from the waves of screams that came from the other side, who knew how many Dark Spirits had been killed.
Da da da da! Da da da da!! The shooting continued! But soon, a monster wearing rough black armor, basically humanoid, but ugly and ferocious, and incomparably strong, rushed out! Then a second, a third, and countless Dark Spirits broke through the black fog and surged toward the Orta defense line!!
Demon!! The most important members of the Dark Spirit Army! They were violent, cruel, and murderous, and had a high level of intelligence!
Then, some monsters up to five or six meters tall also came out. They were huge, also wearing simple giant armor, and had long horns on their heads! It was the Ogres!!
This Dark Spirit army was almost endless, and the Demon raised their rough and heavy giant shields high as they rushed to the front, but these giant shields were almost instantly shredded by the firepower of the Red Police Corps! But more and more Demon appeared from the black fog!
