Deep in the cave, a group of religious troops stood beside the broken cave, and the leader frowned.
"When did this happen? Why didn't anyone report it?"
Their clothing is different from that of Bokov's teaching army, with snowflake-like patterns on it.
"The caravan reported it, but the bishop didn't seem to take it seriously..."
"This road is completely blocked. Something must have happened in Dark Star City! Send people out quickly.
Whether it's an abandoned cave or a dangerous cave, search them all for me. There should be a clue, right? I just want results! "
The doctrinal soldier saluted, turned around and gave orders, and a dozen doctrinal soldiers ran away.
The leader of the Doctrine Army looked like the black-robed priest on the side and snorted: "Since your boss doesn't care about the facts, I don't think he will care about it in the future. Our Doctrine Army will take over everything in the city's defense, so we can save money." Like this time."
After he finished speaking, he swung his cloak, turned around, walked to a stone, and sat there waiting for his soldiers to report the news.
In Dark Star City, huge borers have reached the edge of the city.
The borers summoned by its roaring roars were also dragged tightly by the people in the ruins formed by various buildings, unable to come to support.
Even when faced with itself, even with Walter joining in, the giant borer only had more wounds, showing no signs of weakness at all.
"Hey! This damn thing heals so fast!"
Upton yelled at Schliemann who was reloading, but Walter pushed him away and was almost slapped to the ground by the huge claws.
"Can you focus on it? Our purpose is not to kill it, and we can't kill it. We just want to hold it back and buy time for Selu and Mersin."
"Then what? Then you want to let it go to Selu?"
Schliemann narrowed his eyes and looked at Apton, with confusion and surprise in his eyes.
"No, I'm just saying, isn't Selu dead?"
"Serlu just hides! It's looking for the box, not the person!"
The combined attack still failed to prevent the borer behemoth from approaching the tunnel. Schliemann fired the last lead bullet, leaving a wound on the borer's leg.
Ampton slashed at the other leg, and his reduced physical strength only left a shallow scar on the borer's leg.
"It's been half an hour, is it almost done?"
"Two more times!"
Schliemann exhaled, drew out his scimitar and rushed forward. He did not use the leaf pendant because Apton's speculation about the leaf pendant really scared him.
However, when he struck the leg that had penetrated more than half of his body into the tunnel, he didn't even cut the skin. The entire blade seemed to have hit a hard rubber tire and bounced up.
"Let me go...how did you chop it..."
Eventually, the borer got into the tunnel, and the rumbling gradually faded away.
Schlieman glanced at the remaining borers fighting in Dark Star City and felt that these people had found an effective way to fight them. He quickly found a torch and followed the borers into the tunnel.
Outside Dark Star City, deep in the tunnel.
Mersin put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily.
"This is it, throw it away..."
Selu glanced at the endless darkness below the cliff of the tunnel. She could not see the bottom of the pit at all, as if the light of the torch was swallowed up by the huge black hole.
"Is it okay to just throw it in?"
"Yes, throw it in... Does that thing run fast? Can it be chased? Should we find a place to hide?"
"Mersin, that thing is here to find the wooden box. Do you think it will go down and look for it if we throw it away..."
Mersin scratched his head: "That's right... They made this hole. Maybe their gathering point is down there."
"Then quickly find a reliable place."
“They dig here and there every day, there’s nothing reliable about it!”
Just when the two couldn't come to a conclusion, a little fire appeared on the opposite side of the huge pit.
"Hey! Are you from Dark Star City?"
Mersin saw someone on the opposite side and quickly waved his hands.
"Yes! Dark Star City was attacked by borers!"
"Then what are you doing here? Is Dark Star City already dead?"
"The battle is still going on. My ship...my boss asked me to hide this thing. I don't know where to hide it safely."
Sailu said, raising the wooden box above her head. The person opposite looked at it carefully for a while and then turned around and ran away.
"Wait there and don't move!"
A few minutes later, a group of religious troops appeared on the opposite side of the giant pit. The leader asked Selu to lift the box, but Selu did so with a blank look on his face.
"Sacred object! They brought the sacred object out!"
"That's great!"
"Alas, this is a step of last resort. Sending the holy object out means that the teaching army of Dark Star City has given up hope of defending the city."
The leader waved his hand, and the discussion stopped abruptly.
"Little girl, I am Theis, the leader of the teaching army of Linyuan City! In the name of the ceremonial paladin of the Imperial City, I order you to hand over that thing."
"Can you protect it?"
"Yes, don't worry, girl, this is our responsibility."
"But...but how can I give it to you?"
"Throw it over!"
A teaching soldier shouted and was immediately hit on the head by a comrade on the side.
"It's only thirty meters away. How could a girl like her throw her over here?"
"No, it's okay to throw this thing over. What if it breaks?"
Thes raised his hand to silence his noisy men.
"Do you have a rope over there?"
"Yes! There are plenty of them!"
Mersin said, taking off his backpack and squatting there to dig through bundles of spider silk ropes.
"Tie the box to a rope, tie a stone to the other end of the rope, and throw it over!"
"But... if that's the case, if you hold on to the rope and I let go of the wooden box here, it will still hit the rock wall!"
"I have a solution!"
As Mersin spoke, he untied the rope loop and connected the rolls of spider silk rope into a double layer connected end to end.
"The length is definitely enough. We tie the wooden box to the top and throw this end over. Then you pull the lower rope and we pull the upper rope...
The rope loop is turned, and the wooden box will be transported soon! "
"What a great idea! But the question is, can you throw it over?"
Mersin looked at Selu, who nodded and took out the sling.
"No problem, let alone thirty meters, I can throw it at fifty meters."
Mersin arranged the rope, and Selu picked a rounder stone and tied it to the double spider silk rope. The lightness of the spider silk rope used as a safety rope surprised Selu.
Then she swung the sling with the encouragement of dozens of gentlemen on the opposite side of the giant pit.
With a whoosh, the stone with the spider silk rope went straight to the opposite side, and everyone cheered.
Then, people on both sides worked together to adjust the top and bottom of the rope. Sailu tied the wooden box to it. She pulled hard to ensure that the rope was tied firmly enough.
At this moment, a shock came, which shocked Selu.
"Oops! It's coming!"
