15. Extra-large fake and shoddy products
The faint sunlight passes through the hazy clouds and falls on the ice and snow all over the sky, making people feel no warmth at all. The vast mountains and fields behind the snow are silent. The crystal frost freezes the fruits of autumn, frozen the bird's nests on the treetops, and frozen all the sounds of everything, making people feel lonely and desolate.
Between the white snow, an army with a large number of people barely considered huge by the standards of the New World, with mixed clothing and diverse ethnic groups trekking hard on the road leading to the city of New Demon Sobrey, breaking the rare silence after the winter snow. The traffic conditions of this season are not suitable for the large group of people to operate at all. The steps of the front army have turned the deep snow deep into mud, and the rear army can only stagger in the cold and bone-broken mud. Many people's feet were severely frostbite because of a lot of mud in their shoes, but they still gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward until they fell softly in the mud because they were exhausted.
Some elves wearing shiny magic metal light armor and painted with elves' holy badges on their chests rode the Northland pony adapting to the cold climate, holding sabers and whips to run back and forth on both sides of the queue, cruelly slashing the guys who fell to the ground from time to time so that they would never have to suffer from the torture of the cold winter. The other soldiers just looked at them with fear, and their bodies still numbly followed the brigade slowly, as if all the consciousness of resistance had been worn away.
Among these unfortunate soldiers, about half of them were wearing grass-green military uniforms with elves, fighting muskets or spears, but showed a distinctly human-like face. The rest were varied. There were half-elf seamen wearing white sailor suits and streamers hanging on their hats; orc coolies wearing gray-brown torn clothes and green-faced and fangs; and Mazka native slaves with brown-red skin and trembling in the cold wind. There were also a few bearded artillery soldiers in the team who could clearly see them as dwarfs, pushing several cannons on the muddy road. The small wheels under the cannon seats knew they were used in the warship gun positions at first glance. They were completely unacceptable to such harsh road conditions. The unlucky dwarves almost pushed a few steps and fell into the mud, and there were no livestock to pull the cannons. As a result, they gradually became farther and farther away from the team.
"Go ahead. You lazy guys!" The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and the elf knight's long whip fell mercilessly on the back of the dwarf artillery, causing them to roll all over the ground. However, the poor traffic conditions still could not be changed, and the knights had no intention of contributing their mounts to pull the cannon. No matter how they beat and scolded them, the heavy cannon was still difficult to move forward.
"Don't worry about those bulky guys, go back and follow the team immediately, go!"
Although the sound was not majestic or loud enough, the elf knight and the dwarf artillery at the end of the team were still like the devil who was named after the real name. They were so scared that they jumped three feet high and quickly gave up their entanglement. The knights stepped on the horses, and the dwarfs pulled out their axes from the cannon carts, and ran forward like a terrifying monster. The dwarf's short legs could actually run as fast as a war horse, and they instantly followed the large group of people.
Sofia Leahton was wearing a dark green military coat and quietly stayed at the end of the army. Although her aging body could not move her heavy armor, the eyes that seemed to come from hell still made people feel frightened. More than eight thousand temporary patchwork soldiers had just experienced a long journey on the sea and a landing battle. Before they could rest, they were driven to continue their attacks. If they were replaced with other generals, the entire army would have mutiny. However, under the reputation of "Ghost Fruit" for centuries, soldiers who had been intimidated by blood and terror, had embarked on a arduous journey without complaints in order not to become ghosts before others. Even if they were frozen, they would not dare to stop and take a breath.
"Don't worry, those cowards can surrender as long as they shouted two times!" Several priests in the army held up the holy flag and jumped around the crowd to cheer them up. "The City of the New Demon Sobrey is a famous prosperous city in this place! Granted by Lord Monliaton. After breaking the city, the entire army can move freely in it for three days! Don't be afraid of the cold, and with a lot of effort, when you enter the city, you will have everything in gold, silver, treasures and other things!"
Although he had been completely numb under the bloody suppression of his superiors, his greed for the looting still aroused the soldiers' thoughts, and his pace seemed to be faster. Under the whip of the whip and the temptation of wealth, the army gradually approached the goal of this trip - the city of New Demon Sobrey.
The distance from Port Emon to the surface entrance of the city of New Demon Sobrey is not very far. Under normal circumstances, it only takes three or four hours to walk, and there is only a straight road between the canyons, without the danger of losing direction. Even if the road is not in good condition today, the Elves Army only took most of the day to reach the destination.
Just after turning a mountain wall, the moving team suddenly became in chaos. Many soldiers pointed to the valley ahead and started to retreat in panic. The people behind were unable to retract and collided one after another. The entire formation suddenly became a mess. Even the church knights who were military police could not control the situation.
"What's wrong?" Sofia rushed forward angrily, intending to teach these guys with loose discipline a lesson, but before she could put her thoughts into action, Lianmianchengzhe appeared in front of her blocked her resentment back into her stomach. Even though the cold wind was pouring in her open mouth, she didn't feel it at all.
"What's going on..."
Sofia rode on the horse and slowly turned his stiff neck. More than two miles ahead of her was a not too high mountain. The huge dungeon entrance was very eye-catchingly on the hillside. The wide avenue hovered down from the platform at the entrance of the cave and went straight to the bottom of the valley. At the bottom of the canyon, there was a series of simple bunkers built with branches and soil, which seemed to be the outpost of the defenders.
A city wall that could not be seen stood below the entrance of the cave and extended to both sides, blocking the view, and seemed to surround the entire mountain. There was also a city wall near the entrance of the cave. There were many soldiers on the wall and were heavily guarded. The elves had just entered their sight, and more than a dozen red signal flares used to call the police were
The rapid sound of bell echoed everywhere. There were more people on the city walls, and the reflection of countless weapons was so shaking.
On the hills on both sides of the entrance, dozens of fortresses of all sizes are spread out in height. The black muzzles extend from the city walls and the fortresses, and shine with a cool light in the dim sunlight. These cannons cover every corner of the end of the canyon from all directions. The elf army will probably enter the firepower range after a few steps forward. No wonder the front army was so scared that they shrank backwards.
But the most surprising thing is that a large castle stands tall on the top of the mountain peak where the entrance to the dungeon is located. Although the height is not very eye-catching, the huge volume, the stacked exterior walls and the soldiers patrolling back and forth inside and outside the castle are enough to illustrate its power. A gate that is as high as two floors is placed outside the castle. The dark cannon body is terrified even if it is a long distance away. And behind the castle, there are vague figures of dragons taking off and landing.
The new city of Sobrey in front of me was completely inconsistent with the information that the prisoners asked about. There was no way to be a slack in defense. It was simply a fortress city!
"How could such a large-scale fortress appear overnight? Is it an illusion?" She was extremely surprised. Fortresses of this scale. Even if they use illusions to forge them, they also require amazing magical strength. Xin Naseriel, who has always been known as the magic desert, actually has such an expert?
At Sofia's instructions, an elf mage conducted magic detection on the fortress in front. As a result, he shook his head and said that the other party not only did not use illusions, but also probably to make up for the lack of magical strength of his own side, and also arranged anti-magic arrays around all fortifications. This fortress is real!
"That bastard dares to lie!" Sofia couldn't help but regret not torture the captive who dared to deceive herself more. Unfortunately, the very useful magic of memory was not drawn from the elf spell. And humans were strictly prohibited from learning any spells in the elf kingdom, so she was deceived by several soldiers. It was such a shame and humiliation!
Based on the scale of the fortifications in front of her, Sofia estimated that the guards had at least 10,000 troops, and the number of artillery was more than 300, which was not something that the eight thousand rags in her hands could deal with. In her opinion, with such huge military strength, she was actually hiding in the turtle shell, these soldiers of the new Naserel were extremely cowardly. But she had to admit that no matter how cowardly the enemy was, she did not have the ability to knock on the turtle shell in front of her.
"Let's retreat and camp for the time being, and send someone to transport the heavy artillery from behind." Sofia waved helplessly. The messengers signaled their retreat, and the soldiers fled together as if they were amnesty.
What she didn't know was that the huge fortress in front of her was really overnight. Strictly speaking, it appeared in one morning, and it was a genuine and oversized counterfeit product.

Behind the wall on the mountain
"Can this work?" Renee stood on a large rock and observed the elves in the distance with a telescope. "Sofia Learton is also a veteran in the battlefield. Will she see through our tricks?"
"There's no other way. Use this method to save the emergency first. If it really doesn't work, you can only fight the tunnel battle." Feili was busy using magic to reinforce the wooden frame, while also commanding her clumsy subordinates. "Hey, guy over there, lift it lowered, and the pole was about to be exposed!"
When the "volunteer" who was temporarily recruited from the city heard this, he quickly bent his back down. Around him, there were many "enthusiasts" who were also forced to recruit were doing the same job. They were holding a big dummy with paper paste on their heads, holding a long pole with paper man tied to the top of their hands, walking back and forth behind the cardboard wall that was as tall as two people, pretending to be patrolling. Above the cardboard wall, there were more fakes with paper man and paper paste.
More than a thousand real soldiers were terrified in the simple bunker at the bottom of the canyon. Feili gave them the order to pretend there, and if the enemy's large troops came up, they would immediately escape - if they hadn't been so, they would have disobeyed on the spot and retracted into the dungeon. As long as the enemy's scouts were prevented from approaching reconnaissance, the secret behind the seemingly solid fortress would be completed. Feili knew very clearly that before the street fighting in their hometown, these semi-regular troops could not be expected to exert any combat power.
Seeing that the Elf Army did not continue to advance and did not risk being shot down by snipers. He sent a mage to take the air to reconnaise, Renee couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she had arranged many experienced hunters to use rifles to prepare for snipers at various commanding heights, she still had no confidence in killing the enemy before the alarm was issued. "The anti-magic array you arranged should not be a big problem! If any of them had any problems, it would be bad!"
"Don't worry! I'm sure you can do this lowest-level device." Although it's troublesome to use the anti-magic array, as long as 4 or above can draw it, Feili, a level 14 mage, still has some confidence in his magic level. "As long as these kraft paper stuff are not blown away by the wind, my anti-magic array will be absolutely fine."
"Just be content with a hundred hearts, my great customer! With my years of experience in manufacturing simulation products, this little wind will not have any impact on my masterpiece at all!" A golden and blue-eyed, petite and delicate half-elf Loli jumped down from the mountain, "Shelf Stout, I'll ask you, can you stop taking off and landing now and let him rest for a while? He said that he had risen and fallen on the edge of the paper castle for more than ten times today, and his wings were almost broken!"
Now, the physical fitness is really... Feili shook her head and responded to the half-elf Loli. "No, Al, tell Sherlock Holmes that even if her wings are broken, you have to continue pretending to me, otherwise everyone will be done together and don't want to be skinned by the old witch, just hold on for me!"
"I know, but I should pay for my salary," the half-elf Loli spread out.
Little hand. "Two thousand gold coins, bring them quickly!"
"So expensive? Didn't you say 200 gold coins yesterday?"
"That's just a deposit! You didn't even give the deposit, so I let this girl do a free job all night. It would be great if you didn't ask for tips!"
"The enemy is still below... Can you talk about it later?"
"No! You must pay now!" The half-elf Loli pouted and shook her head like a rattle. "If the enemy comes up and you are unfortunately killed in battle, who will ask me for the salary?"
"...Don't curse me like this! If I'm all killed in battle, can the Elf Army let you go?"
Al is a talent that Feili discovered from a coffin shop in the new Demon Sobrey City. Although she is only 92 years old and is still a loli at the age of a half-elves, she is really a tiny person. She has been specializing in universal skills since she was a child, and has been engaged in a promising career as a counterfeit manufacturer and salesman with her relatives for more than 40 years. The counterfeit and shoddy products she makes are unique in the industry. At the same time, the flawless and cute loli looks have also successfully deceived the hearts of countless male and female buyers. However, due to her age and experience, as well as being hopelessly aficious, she was always exposed at critical moments and was exposed, thus gaining the nickname of "heartthrob" - every time she is chased by a group of deceived buyers. She can escape again and again and be free for so long, so she can be said to be blessed by the goddess of luck Temora.
Later, because the fake cardboard yacht she made drowned, she was chased by enemies in the Feren continent, so she crossed the ocean to the New World and opened a coffin shop with her relatives. Since then, she has changed her career to make various dark money and paper offerings, including everything from cardboard roast duck, cardboard villa to cardboard rainbow dragon, and is very popular with family members and pastors who hold funerals. Feili knew her when the dead Red Robe Mage last buried her. Now when it was time to burn the fire, he was the first to think of this fake genius. He also found her overnight to implement this almost whimsical plan.
According to the information from the Old Heilongdi, the Sofia troops have no other air force except him, and their magical strength is very limited. In this way, it is possible to implement tactical deception on them to delay time - facing eight thousand invading enemies, there are only one or two thousand soft-legged shrimps that even the goblins don't know how to beat them, and there is no way to do this.
Due to the widespread application of magic in this world, people often have a misunderstanding of thinking, believing that things that are not concealed with magic are real, which is particularly obvious in the military. From another world, Feili, who has suffered from endless causation, is naturally very familiar with another method of disguise. He still remembers the legend that farmers in Wenzhou can knock out F22 fighter jets by hand, so when they think of disguise and deception, they immediately think of Al, the fake little queen.
Feili's idea was to invite Al to provide guidance on the spot, and urgently produce a large number of cardboard bunkers and cardboard artillery, paper-paste dummies, and arrange them on the surrounding mountains. First, temporarily fool the enemy, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack or wait for reinforcements. In general, it is a step-by-step process, and it will take several days to delay. For these cowards under his command who cannot fight hand-to-hand combat, Feili did not dare to put his hopes entirely on their ability to make a super-level swing in their hometown.
The city of Sobrey is a big city in the New World. It is hard to find other warriors who can confiscate guys and fight with the enemy. It is natural to find any other materials. Cardboard and wooden sticks are no problem. With the full cooperation of the council, the citizens were recruited overnight to create a large number of cardboard models. Just after the production was completed, the Great Druid discovered the movement of the Elves through the Bird Scouts. Feili had to continue working and put these paper men, paper cannons, paper walls, paper bunkers and paper weapons with tin foil on the hills. Finally, the arrangement was completed before the enemy arrived, and an anti-magic array was arranged to prevent the enemy's magic reconnaissance. Next, I could only pray for the blessing of the goddess of luck, and at the same time, I could see how Sofia Learton made a decision.
Fortunately, my luck was pretty good this time. The old and weak "ghost rose" seemed to have even withered brain cells withered with her skin. The elf army stumbled in the distance for a while, then slowly withdrew its troops and turned around without seeing through the signs of its own disguise. After obtaining the information that the enemy had set up camp in the wilderness three miles away, Feili finally put his heart hanging in his throat back into his stomach.
"Let's see what's next, Al!" He lifted the fake genius who was playing cards with the big druid and Grena, holding his collar up, "Come on, hurry up, we'll fight back when it's dark. Can we modify it on time?"
"I am absolutely relieved to do things!" The half-elf Loli first patted her completely empty breasts with a serious face, and then spread her hands with a smile. "But this cold weather, I asked me to give up my sleep for two nights and sacrifice my skin to help you work in the wind and snow. I have to give you some overtime pay! It just happened that my luck in the card today was so bad, and I lost a lot of money! How about two thousand gold coins this time?"
"...You might as well go and rob, there is no such blackmail!" Although he had mastered the finances of the entire legion, before confirming that Speaker Zena agreed to reimburse all the expenses, Feili was absolutely unwilling to pay for it any more.
However, he obviously underestimated the loli in front of him how eager for money was.
"Don't be so stingy, big~~Brother~~Brother~~" Luo Li's final move, her sweet voice and Luo Li's grapple - a super final kill appears!
"Okay, OK, I'll give it to you! Come down quickly, if Renee sees it, you will misunderstand..."
Feili's heart was bleeding and she was defeated by the invincible cute killing skills of Loli, helplessly contributed her wallet, but his bad luck had not ended here.
"Dear, love, what did you misunderstand just now?" Renee's gentle voice sounded near, but it made Feiri feel as if she was falling into an ice cellar. "Goddess of Doom Bensaba, just spare me!"
