Chapter 145 In The Dark Area, The Drow Elves Are Surprised
"So many underground creatures have come out!"
"Could it be that they have dug into the dark region?"
Upon receiving this bad news, Rennes's expression froze, speculating in his heart.
You see,
The dark region is the underground world of the Roland Continent.
It is composed of various caves and tunnels.
The area is extremely large.
At the same time, it is also inhabited by a large number of evil races or monsters that cannot tolerate light.
For example: abyssal fish, elven elves, gray dwarves, spirit suckers, underground dwarves, and so on...
If the sinkhole in the depths of the Iron Furnace City mine leads to the true dark region,
Then things will be troublesome.
After all,
It is not a good experience to have those evil creatures from the dark region as neighbors.
In order to find out the specific situation,
Rennes decided to personally go to Iron Furnace City to deal with this matter.
After handling all the affairs of his territory,
After greeting his wives, Rennes took the newly formed Griffin Knight Guard and flew towards Iron Furnace City.
Iron Furnace City is not far from Eagle City.
The journey is only over fifty kilometers.
In less than twenty minutes,
Rennes and the others arrived at Iron Furnace City.
The original lord of Iron Furnace City, the thirteenth son Ilei, was transferred by Rennes to oversee the development and construction of the family's territory due to his excellent work ability.
Now,
The lord of Iron Furnace City is his forty-fifth son, Kulo.
This child is his silver-level offspring born to him and Katie.
Having fairy bloodline,
Both his martial spirit aptitude and magic aptitude are high.
Under Rennes's careful cultivation,
Kulo, who is twenty-eight years old this year, is already a 7th rank swordmaster.
Without any surprises,
Breaking through to the 10th rank in the future is also highly hopeful.
His strength is not bad,
Coupled with his agile and intelligent mind,
Rennes naturally values this child quite a bit.
That's why he entrusted him with the position of lord of Iron Furnace City.
Upon learning that his father had come,
Kulo immediately brought people out to greet him.
Iron Furnace City, Lord's Mansion.
"How is the current situation?"
Without any nonsense, Rennes asked directly.
Facing his father's question.
Kuro didn't dare to delay and immediately responded,
"It's terrible!"
"Almost all the mines are now occupied by those underground creatures."
"Nearly a thousand miners have been injured or killed."
"Iron ore mining has completely come to a halt."
"If we can't resume iron ore mining within the next two days, more than half of the steel workshops in Iron Furnace City will have to shut down..."
Upon hearing this, Rennes frowned slightly.
The steel workshops in Iron Furnace City supply the majority of the territory's steel products.
It is extremely important.
If they were all to shut down,
it would undoubtedly have a significant negative impact on the development of the territory.
"It seems that we must deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Thinking this, Rennes immediately asked Kuro about the specific situation of those underground creatures.
"According to the current investigation results, there are at least a thousand underground creatures occupying the mines.
"There are also many different types, including: Dreadclaw monsters, Shadow Arachnids..."
"The majority of them possess intermediate to advanced transcendent strength."
Upon hearing this, Kuro immediately disclosed everything he knew.
When he learned about the abnormality in the mines before,
he immediately dispatched the Iron Furnace City garrison to investigate the situation.
This information was obtained at that time.
As a result, they also lost hundreds of soldiers.
"Over a thousand high-level monsters?!"
"It seems that the deep pit in the mine does lead to the dark region."
"And the dark region is a very 'prosperous' area."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many monsters to suddenly appear."
Listening to his son's response,
Rennes confirmed his previous speculation and also felt a headache.
His headache was not caused by those high-level monsters.
With his strength, it would be a piece of cake to deal with those underground creatures.
But that would only be a temporary solution.
The prosperous area of the dark region that the pit in the mine leads to.
If he kills this batch of monsters,
there will still be more underground monsters coming out and invading the surface in the future.
Even if he destroys the passage to that mine,
those underground creatures will naturally dig another way out.
A heavy blow is necessary."
Rennes's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
He couldn't stay in Iron Furnace City forever, guarding against these underground monsters.
To ensure the iron mining in Iron Furnace City goes smoothly.
The only way is to completely destroy that dark area once and for all.
Thinking like this.
Rennes immediately led the Griffin Knight Guard and left the Lord's Mansion in Iron Furnace City.
Flying towards the direction of the iron mining basin.
The iron mining basin is only fifteen kilometers away from Iron Furnace City.
Before long.
Rennes and the others successfully arrived at their destination.
A huge basin spanning over ten kilometers appeared before Rennes's eyes.
Rugged rocks, desolation everywhere.
There were mining traces everywhere, pockmarked like they had been gnawed by dogs.
And in the various mine tunnels of the basin.
From time to time, there would be eerie monster roars that made people's hearts tremble.
Obviously.
All those underground monsters were hiding in these mine tunnels.
As for why.
That's because the underground monsters have been living underground for a long time and are very unaccustomed, even disgusted, by sunlight.
And now it's noon, the sun is shining.
Those underground monsters wouldn't willingly come out to sunbathe.
In order to quickly solve these underground monsters that caused the iron mining to come to a halt.
0... Requesting flowers...
Rennes didn't hesitate to lead his Griffin Knights into a large mine tunnel.
Just as they entered.
The underground monsters in the mine tunnel discovered Rennes and his group of unwelcome guests.
"Roar!"
The next second.
Dozens of underground monsters surged out from various branching mine tunnels.
Baring their fangs and claws, they charged towards Rennes and the others.
Watching this scene.
Rennes remained emotionally unaffected.
These monsters were too weak.
He couldn't even muster the interest to take action himself.
He left it all to his subordinates to handle.
"Three people in a group, form an attack formation."
Because the interior of the mine tunnel was relatively narrow.
It wasn't suitable for large-scale group charges.
Knight Commander Ramon immediately ordered to divide and conquer, conducting operations in small groups.
Receiving the command.
More than twenty senior knights are controlling griffins, in groups of three-three-one.
Quickly form seven simple arrow formations.
"Kill them all!"
.......0
After setting up the attack formation.
The knight commander, Lamon, solemnly raised his sword with one hand and gave the order to attack.
As soon as the words fell.
The first group of arrow formations moved.
Three senior knights simultaneously circulated their fighting energy and injected it into the griffins they were riding.
Woo!~ Woo!~ Woo!~
Accompanied by the neighing sound.
The three griffins charged like they were on stimulants.
They collided with the underground monsters rushing out of the left branch mine.
The momentum was extremely terrifying.
Next was the second group, the third group.
There was at least one group of griffin knights to deal with each branch mine.
Although they were at a numerical disadvantage.
Compared to the underground monsters fighting individually, the griffin knight squads undoubtedly had more combat power.
A few seconds later.
The griffin knight guards collided head-on with those underground monsters.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
In an instant, blood splattered.
The griffin knight squads were like indestructible arrows.
With an unstoppable force.
They killed all the underground monsters along the way.
After one charge.
More than half of the underground monsters were dead.
In less than a minute.
The underground monsters in the nearby mines were completely killed by the griffin knights.
"Continue forward!"
Cut off all the valuable parts from these underground monsters and store them in the spatial ring.
Then, with the griffin knight guards, they advanced towards the deeper part of the mine.
Several tens of minutes later.
Rennes and the others successfully arrived at the deepest part of the mine.
A five hundred meter diameter sinkhole appeared before their eyes.
Obviously.
This was the passage to the dark region.
Looking down from above.
Inside this underground sinkhole passage.
Apart from various underground monsters.
Rennes also unexpectedly discovered dozens of strange elves with pointed ears and dark skin.
"Zhuo'er Elves? Mountains!"
