Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 151: The way down the mountain

Before leaving the Black Blood Castle, it was already dark. [77nt.] Driven by charging mountain knights, two priests of the Temple of Dawn cast powerful blessing spells on them, helping them break through enemy lines in one fell swoop. The orcs were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and when they tried to fight back, bows and arrows started firing again from the castle. A simple isolation tape was created.

The cavalry didn't go very far, and after they attacked, they returned to the castle - but less than a quarter, the rest were illusions performed by Siegel. With the cover of the terrain, most of the knights hid on the mountain road and began to prepare for the descent.

Every once in a while, trebuchets are used to scatter falling rocks from the Black Blood Castle, and bows and arrows are used to clear the orcs who are trying to approach. Under the command of Earl Todd, the soldiers on the front stepped up their defense, seemingly vowing to kill the orcs out of the area. The giant crossbow on the opposite cliff began to counterattack, causing more than ten casualties, forcing humans to **** in the dark. Earl Todd anticipated this, and ordered all light sources in the castle to be extinguished, preparing to evacuate.

All horses must be kept quiet and cannot carry any sundries except weapons, food and water. This means that the craftsmen and servants in the original castle need to give up all their property. They were originally reluctant, but they also knew in their hearts that after the soldiers left, the orcs would definitely occupy the place, leaving only a dead end.

Siegel, Janet, and Kerry are a group of three, who will leave after the departure of His Royal Highness, and belong to the last few in the noble sequence. Behind them will be long lines of civilians. Although it was strictly ordered to evacuate lightly, the civilians were reluctant to bear the things at home, and they still carried them full.

Sir Bill and Siegel tried to persuade them to no avail, and after hearing about this, Earl Todd ordered the guards to extend the defensive distance and protect the civilian team. At the same time, he asked the soldiers protecting the civilians to put all their supplies at the end of the nobles' convoy. He carries only spears, short bows, and light leather armor. Siegel figured out the flavor: With a single order, these soldiers would be able to quickly assemble forward, free from the bloated civilians.

He told Sir Bill about it. And the Jazz seem to be mentally prepared. "On the battlefield, it can only be like this. We can't take too many risks for the disobedient part." He knew his disciple. So he advised him: "Don't talk about this matter, so as not to cause more confusion."

This incident affected the mage's mood, and he became very silent after that. The giant Kerry didn't notice this, he had been busy beside the trebuchet, operating excitedly. When Siegel passed by him, he lowered his voice and said excitedly: "I have figured out the reason for this thing, we Jackdaw tribe will also have trebuchets, hehe!" Siegel is just polite Sexual smile. 77nt.Com Qianqian novel network's mind is not on this matter.

Janet had something ready for a few people, she found a pair of studded leather armor that fit, and with all the weapons on, she looked shrewd and strong, and at the same time full of danger. She drew the goddess of the Earth Mother with chalk on the wall, knelt before her and prayed silently. "Mother, please show your mercy and keep everyone safe. I know the orcs are creatures in this land, and you treat all life equally. I don't pray for victory, I only pray for less killing. Peace and tranquility."

"Please take care of us, please take care of Siegel, take care of the kitten. I finally don't have to pray to the **** of shadows hypocritically. I want to get out of the shadows and walk brightly on the vast land. Before I only dared to Secretly recite your name, now I can finally kneel and pray to you, please don't abandon us."

Janet heard Sir Bill's loud voice outside, and Kerry was laughing in the courtyard. In addition to this, there was the constant sound of bowstrings being pulled and the strange whistling of hollow iron arrows. It suddenly occurred to her that she was currently on a high mountain, and she wondered if the Mother Earth would still be able to hear her prayers. This deity is said to be the most approachable and loving one. All the creatures born on the earth are her children. I don't know if the demons are among them, after all, the devils come from **** and abyss. Its lineage has nothing to do with the earth.

The uncontrolled deformation of her left hand happened two more times, and Janet didn't dare tell Siegel. Fortunately, each deformation is not as painful as the first time. Before the change, the body will also have an omen, allowing Janet to find a place to hide. She tried many ways, but she couldn't prevent the deformation from happening. Fortunately, the hand could return to its original shape after regaining consciousness, so Siegel never noticed it.

But each time the range of the body that is changed is getting bigger and bigger. It originally only reached the wrist, but now it has climbed half of the forearm. Fortunately, this trend has gradually slowed down recently and temporarily stopped under the elbow. Janet also prayed to Mother Earth that this strange illness would be cured.

She didn't dare tell Siegel about it, at least she didn't think it was the time yet. At the same time, she has to think about what she has not told him, so as not to miss the point. Last time, I accidentally leaked some information about the Knox Commons, which made Siegel think that he was not frank enough and caused an embarrassing situation. The mage also looks very bad today. He looks lost and tired. Maybe that incident still affects him? But Siegel shouldn't be so vulnerable!

She lowered her head and prayed reverently: "Guide me, and big mother, show me the way I should go. I've been in the dark for too long, please don't let me lose my way."

Not long after, she heard footsteps behind her and the sound of her robe dragging on the ground. Siegel came to look for her, it should be time to go. Janet stood up stiffly, her knees aching. She finally kissed the chalk portrait of Mother Earth, put the short blade back on her waist, and greeted her.

"Time to go, Janet." Siegel held out his hand to her. "It's time to evacuate."

They silently followed at the end of the noble line, walking on the rugged mountain road. Both the pack horses and the war horses have cloth strips wrapped around their mouths, and they will not make a sound even if they encounter emergencies. But at the back of the team, the iron tools on the civilians made a crashing sound from time to time.

Siegel worried for a while, but the orc didn't seem to care. Perhaps absolute silence is more likely to arouse suspicion than jingling. The main target of the orcs was still the castle, and they kept shooting arrows upwards, unaware of the leaving party.

Ten mountain knights were left in the Black Blood Castle for a final delay, throwing javelins and stones down the mountain. Shout out slogans and pretend to be persistent. In the middle of the night, they would light several braziers in the castle. To shine on the dummies made in the garden. Then the mountain knights would also withdraw, scrambling down the steep hill with the help of the hexapod lizards.

in the dark. People and horses lined up in long columns and marched steadily down the mountain. On both sides of the road you can see the corpses of orcs left by the cavalry charge, and they have been thrown aside, exuding a disgusting stench. All the nobles, soldiers and commoners did not know what was going on in the previous battle, but Siegel knew it through the eyes of the raven: the mountain cavalry had broken through two lines of defense, only to be stubbornly blocked in the third orc camp . Fortunately, there is a relatively open valley with enough room for maneuvering. The paladins of the Temple of Dawn finally had a place to use them, and they summoned the mounts of God's blessing one after another. All of them are identical pale golden horses with tall heads. Armor is like a wall, spears are like a forest, and with the group of cavalry charging, it is only a matter of time before the third orc camp is taken.

"Siegel, do you still need to follow this team after going down the mountain?" Kerry asked in a low voice: "With our good horses, no one on the plains can catch up, and following them is tied."

"I'm not worried about the threat of orcs now, only the shadow of the dead." Siegel thought that his friend was not qualified to participate in the meeting, and he should not know about it. He simply told the two companions the situation and said, "If those undead come, the priests of the Temple of Dawn will protect you."

"We?" Janet asked suspiciously, "what do you do?"

"They can't do anything to me." Siegel thought of his own undead transformation. Said with confidence. But when Janet asked why, he just shook his head and said that it was the work of magic.

They went from night to dawn. The voice of the orcs finally came from behind. Angry orcs screamed and rushed down the mountain after finding out they had been tricked. They saw from a distance the team slowly advancing on the mountain road, especially most of the civilians with high loads. The slaughter and looting made them extremely excited, and the speed of the charge was almost comparable to that of a galloping horse.

"Speed ​​up!" An order came from the front of the team, and sure enough, all the soldiers started to run. The Paladins chose to set up their defenses in a narrow passage. With the help of divine power, they moved stones the size of millstones and set up shooting positions on the mountain walls. The cavalry on the order galloped back and forth twice, and the speed of the entire team suddenly increased.

Contrary to expectations, civilians were not left behind. After the orcs appeared. The population, with little resistance, saw the reality and knew that it was impossible to escape with a heavy cargo. So they threw their things on the side of the road. They support the old and the young, and squeeze their physical strength as much as possible in order to survive. Gritting his teeth, he followed the noble line in front of him. Siegel stood by the side of the road, constantly performing light magic on the slow-moving old men and children, so that they could keep up with the speed of the team. With his help ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the ranks of the commoners were not pulled apart, but instead tightened a lot, and some of them were already mixed with the ranks of the nobles.

Afterwards, Siegel took out the flame weapon, held it high in the air, and began to chant a complex incantation. He uses his own magic weapon as part of the spell material, and uses it as the core to summon fire elemental creatures. The surrounding magic power surged towards Siegel, forming a red vortex visible to the naked eye. A large fire element with four hands, four feet and one tail centered on the flame instrument stood in front of Siegel, and a pair of blazing white eyes on his orange-red body looked at Siegel with aura.

"Keep your head down." Siegel ordered it. "Remember what I taught you." The mage's hand was claw-like and placed in the air on the Fire Elemental's head. Using the memory-modifying spell of the Knox Common Society, he began forcibly imparting knowledge to the elementals. Under normal circumstances, creatures such as elements, undead, and golems are not affected by spells targeting the mind, but this fire element is summoned by Siegel, and the core is still a hand-made flame instrument, which can be said about every spell detail. He is very clear. He ordered the fire element to open the core of his mind, and then transferred some of the martial skills of the dwarf elite warriors into it. Due to the rewriting of the core, the entire fire element kept shaking, but it finally maintained its shape. Siegel wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his magic experiment was considered a success.

"It's time to test your abilities." Siegel looked at the approaching orc chasing soldiers, and ordered the fire element: "Reverse charge!" (To be continued)
