Chapter 127: Burning the City with Fire (1)
Yang Ye's proposal immediately made the people present excited. According to the idea, the underground arsenal would be destroyed if it could not be saved and died with the enemy. Therefore, in these arsenals, they actually designed soul arrays for destruction. Even if they did not understand the settings of the soul array and just set fire, it would still be easy to do.
"The only way is now!" After pondering for a while, the few people present could not think of any other way, as long as they agreed to the plan to set fire.
With the help of connected underground arsenals and complex tunnel networks, it was the previous plan to counter the tribe orcs of Stormwind City. However, unexpectedly, the last force in Dongcheng was defeated first, and there was no chance to transport troops into the underground. It was not possible to open a tunnel that connects further.
After discussing the countermeasures, he went to the arsenal in the city without stopping. Through the maze-like underground passage, he came to a arsenal close to the west of the city. The first thing he had to do was to excavate the solid rock wall. However, this time, with Chen Aman, the soul master of the Shentian Mercenary Group, helping to position it, Yang Ye did not take any detours.
Yang Ye dug out a tunnel for people to climb. In the rear, several soul general-level mercenaries continued to expand the tunnel with the Wind Soul Sword Light. However, although it expanded a lot, it only allowed people to walk in a short body, but not to be able to ride a carriage.
There was a busy underground, and the Stormwind City on the ground was also brightly lit. In addition to the towering arrow tower, there were also some hidden docks on the wide walls of Xicheng. The functions of these docks were mainly used to hide soldiers and avoid arrows and huge rocks. However, not every docks were a simple trap cave. Among these docks, there was also an elevator and lowered patio passage in the area embedded in the center of the city wall.
This vertical patio connects deep underground, 100 feet wide and 100 feet long, and there are several huge wheels at the top, just like a winch on a well. A strong flat plate is tied through thick and long ropes, blocking the patio tightly. This flat plate is like an elevator, pulled by a rope, raised and lowered.
At the bottom of the patio, there is a tunnel connecting the basement. Through this lifting patio, the weapons and materials stored in the underground arsenal can be quickly transported to the city wall to facilitate war use. During the design and construction, in order to prevent the lifting patio from being used by the enemy, they directly enter the underground arsenal from here, several confusing mechanisms were designed.
For example, the bottom of the patio is not the gate connecting the underground arsenal, and the lifting of the patio is controlled underground, not operated in the dock, so it is a secret to stop at the depth of the lifting plank. If you don’t know what to do, go directly to the bottom of the patio, then the sharp blades covered with sharp barbs below the patio are enough to make you try to roll around the mouth of the behemoth covered with teeth.
The square and almost integrated huge stone structure is enough to make you unable to find the door. Unless you demolish the city, it will be difficult to find the entrance and exit, let alone enter the underground arsenal. Even if you find it, the extremely thick Broken Dragon Stone is enough to drive you crazy, because the four walls of the courtyard are built with the hardest, two or three meters wide Broken Dragon Stone.
However, the tribe was lucky this time. The sudden raid made Xicheng fall too hastily. However, there were two entrances of the patio that were not closed after opening, which opened a gap to the underground arsenal cave.
Fortunately, the empire implemented strict management of underground arsenals, and each warehouse was responsible for it. These arsenals were closed in normal times and were only authorized to open during wartime. In addition to regular monthly inspections, inventory and maintenance, the arsenal was not open, so when the tribe first looked at a corner of the arsenal, it did not immediately emptied the entire arsenal.
"How is the progress!" Kingsoft, the Golden Lion Clan, who suddenly launched a surprise attack on Stormwind City and took the risk of successfully, was the first contribution in the battle to seize Stormwind City. However, for various reasons, Kingsoft lowered its mark on a series of subsequent matters and took the initiative to take charge of this boring matter, digging down the underground weapons and food in Stormwind City.
"Sir, the progress is quite smooth. Today I dug up dozens of meters away. There should be no farther left from the next basement. You can dig through it in the next two days!" A general of the rat tribe replied in a very flattering manner to Jinshan, who was extremely powerful and powerful in front of him.
Jinshan nodded, with a pair of golden pupils, glanced at the tunnel that was widened by about 100 feet wide and about 100 feet high, and was full of busy rat tribes. He nodded with satisfaction: "We must do our best to ensure progress. If all the warehouses buried underground in humans can be dug out, it will be enough to arm the army of hundreds of thousands of tribes. At that time, the benefits of your rat tribe will be indispensable!"
"Hehe, don't worry, this adult, we are now rotating part of the day and night to ensure that we complete the task as soon as possible!"
Kingsoft nodded, not staying at this dusty hole, but turned a corner and appeared in a small warehouse that was not too big, which was also the warehouse connecting the patio. At this moment, the materials stored here have been transported to the surface. Some of the stone throwing trucks used when attacking Dongcheng were used were assembled using parts in the warehouse.
However, the two small warehouses at the outermost stages confiscated a large number of weapons, thousands of swords, more than two thousand spear heads, thousands of gun rods, hundreds of armor, tens of thousands of arrows, and a lot of tincture oil, iron nails, etc. It seems that the information I have received has always been false.
Under the Stormwind City, there is a huge basement group, which is reserved for arming hundreds of thousands of troops and a million troops to spend a year. If this huge resource can be obtained, the strength of the tribe will directly reach two levels. However, it is obvious that humans have built this huge basement and set up many mechanisms for its safety.
A lot of information is not accurate. After all, Stormwind City is a war fortress and implements military control. In addition, this underground arsenal is a secret that only a few people can access, so the tribe has not known much over the years. However, the underground arsenal has strict protective measures but cannot be faked. There are even self-destructive arrangements in these institutions to prevent enemies who forcibly break into it.
Looking at the wall of this small basement, it was obviously the entrance and exit of a tunnel, but at the entrance and exit, a broken dragon stone blocked the way. On this huge stone door, a seven-layer Qinglong Plate Lock Array arranged by a human soul array master blocked their way like a password lock.
Although tribes and humans have some commonalities, they are two different cultural systems. Tribes have their own inheritance. Although during this long war, tribes and human empires began to communicate and understand the other party's civilization, they are definitely not proficient. Especially in tribes, there are very few people who study and learn. Although some people will also study some human soul talisman array diagram, they are far less than humans.
And these seven-layer Qinglong Pan Lock Array are already considered to be the top soul talisman array. Even if you can crack it, you might as well dig a channel directly to save trouble. Despite this, a lot of time is wasted, compared to the large amount of weapons, materials and food that can be obtained, these are affordable.
After walking around here, Kingsoft did not continue here. After all, the dim basement was filled with dirty rats, and the smell was quite bad. After getting on the lift platform, he rose to the top of the city with a few followers.
The rat race is a natural expert in hole making, but it also depends on what environment it is. If it is just digging, it will definitely not take so long. However, the reopening of the tunnel is carried out entirely on the hard rock layer. The rat race's sharp claws are also worn out very much, so it takes almost three or five cents to dig, and a replacement will be made. Although relying on the advantage of the huge number of people, a channel was opened on the rock layer, it also took a lot of time.
Moreover, this job is obviously a job that can be splashed. In a tribe with strict hierarchy, those powerful populations will not run underground and then use their sharper claws to dig holes.
Compared with the rat clan, Yang Ye's speed is much faster. The black flame released by the Jiuyuan Xuanming Fire contains the power of darkness and strong corrosion, which also causes the hard rocks to be eroded. In addition, the ice and fire attributes contained in the black flame make the rocks become brittle in the alternation of hot and cold. So when you dig a hole, the speed is definitely not something you can cover.
The rat tribe had to dig a passage for five or six days or more. Yang Ye dug a longer passage in less than two or three hours. Behind him was a wind-type soul, and he used all his strength to cut rocks with soul martial arts. This was a waste of resources. At this time, he was not stingy at all. Soon a passage leading to the arsenal underground in the west of the city was opened.
The biggest barrier was opened, and the rest was much simpler. However, Yang Ye's more skillful cracking of the tribe was faster than the warehouse manager who had the keys. The broken dragon stone gates were opened one after another.
Torches were lit up one after another. The arsenal was piled on the stone wall weapon stand, and there were arrows piled up like hills, like wall-like tile urns. These tile urns were filled with tinsel oil. Judging from the quantity, these tinsel oils were ignited, enough to burn for a month and not extinguished.
"I don't know how much money I spent and how long it took to hoard so much to reach such a scale. I didn't expect to burn it!" Shen Tian came from a military army, but he had been a general. Looking at the full amount of supplies stored in the arsenals, he felt a little painful.
Jiaoyue bit her red lips: "Don't have too much. Just move the things in this warehouse back. It's enough to eat and drink without a task for ten years. It's too expensive! These are all good elite armor, military crossbows, but things that even money can't buy." Jiaoyue gently stroked the shiny armor and weapons, and said gritting her teeth.
