Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); Regardless of the changing seasons of the sun, moon, cold and summer, or war or peace, the city walls and mountains are always standing tall on the ground, and no one can ignore it.

The erosion of wind and rain is difficult to make any changes on the mountain, but human strength can build stairs and plank roads. But even on the gentlest mountain road of Fist Peak, the road is still very difficult.

Mana and her ten knights were leading their horses forward, and the steep steps made the tall mounts uncomfortable and neighed in fear. The knights worked hard to reassure their steeds, preventing them from falling off cliffs in terror.

Not far from the front is the fist castle. After passing here, the castle defense chain of the city wall mountains began to turn eastward, entering the front line of the fight against the orcs. And to the east of Fort Fist, is the Bird's Nest City, the territory of Baron Cecil of the White Bird family. According to Siegel, it was the closest lord to the Jackdaw tribe, and they were close because they shared the silver mines.

That is to say, as long as you persevere and convince the lord of the fist castle, you can basically complete the task that Siegel explained. After more than three months of hard work, a supply trade route that connects the entire city wall and mountain range and belongs to Heim Land can be completed.

Mana never imagined she could accomplish such a feat. She was just a mercenary in the past and was not taken seriously. Or that people are much more interested in her looks and body than in her archery. Even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined that one day she would become a knight, or even a knight and own a territory.

Although the territory is now occupied by elves, it is fortunate that the residents there have been transferred to the city of Myr without damage. Mana believes that one day the Territory will be brought back under human control again.

Legally speaking, each lord is responsible for the lives of the people in his own territory, but her lord Siegel relied on one castle to support the population of four castles, never adding pressure to several new lords. Under his plan, Myr City still has the spare capacity to sell meat to the outside world. Mana admires him very much at this point. Although Siegel always said that he was not a qualified lord, there were very few who could develop the territory into such a state.

"Hold on, there's a castle not far ahead." Mana patted her pocket, making the gold coins rattle. "There's a roof, a stove, a straw bed, and hot food waiting for us. Still clenching your teeth?"

Everyone's eyes were full of longing, and they lowered their voices and let out a laugh. They will not forget the avalanche caused by the noise in the mountains some time ago. It was as if a snow mountain fell directly. Earth-shattering. Fortunately, God blessed, the avalanche appeared behind the team and did not cover their heads.

It was autumn when they left Heimneck, and they were still wearing two-layer singles. But as winter came and went north, they just wanted to pack as much as they could. It turned out that the cold that the orcs said was true. These southern knights finally understood what the cold "frozen ears" meant.

A shadow passed over their heads, and the knights were immediately alerted. They grabbed the horses, took the longbow from the saddle, and pressed the strings with their freezing fingers. The two took off the blindfolded black silk cloth and looked up.

It was a cloud that was moving fast against the wind and was now slowly descending. Weird things always happen in the Walled Mountains, but this is the first time I've seen it. Mana has encountered large gray-skinned monsters that can hide in crevices of rocks, and lock down their prey's throats with their barbed, whip-like arms. Fortunately, their long swords were sharp, and they cut off the monster's arm in time, which saved the lives of their companions.

They have also seen boxes on the side of the road. A gold coin is on the dirt-covered ground next to the chest. Mana was alert, thinking that this might be a trap set by a robber, and shot an arrow at it. As a result, the box came alive and charged towards them frantically.

Under the hooves of the charging knight, the box monster was trampled to death. Everyone found nothing but a gold coin on the ground.

Only one distress experience was happy, they met owl bear on the hillside. This is a large light brown bear with an owl head and eagle beak and feathers draped over its shoulders. This guy was stocking up food for winter, and when he saw the patrolling alone, he rushed up. Other companions who were not far behind quickly arrived and killed it with bows and spears.

Although the upper body is full of feathers. But both birds and bears are edible. Everyone suggested to improve the food, and Mana and his party put this thing on the fire to bake. It was a sumptuous dinner, and everyone ate very happily. The owl bears were fat and fragrant, but everyone had diarrhea the next day.

The clouds drifted closer. Then a hand came out, and Siegel's face poked out from behind the clouds.

"Put the weapons away, it's Lord Lord." Mana said.

Siegel let the air element put him down and waved it off. The knights saluted him in unison, and he returned the salute solemnly.

"You've worked hard." Siegel said, "I was thinking of going to the north to take a look and send you some supplies by the way."

He opened the space bag. From the inside he pulled out several small metal bottles with cork stoppers. "This is the wine of the elves, the strongest and most fragrant. Don't drink these now. Each of you will take a bottle and put it on your body. If cold, hunger or fear surrounds you, take a sip."

He took out another large transparent glass bottle with orange-red liquid in it. "It's called Elf's Tears, a very bitter but very mellow spirit, let's take a sip each."

"Lord Lord, everything is fine with Heim." Mana asked.

"Yes, everything is normal now," Siegel said. "Although the elves are still besieging the city, their troops have been reduced, and many have been transferred to the north. The city of Myr is also snowing, which is much smaller than the city wall and mountains. There's enough food, meat and firewood to get through the winter without a problem."

The knights breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Most of them have family members in Myr City, and there are always a few people who care about them. After leaving Mier City for more than three months, I rarely heard the news from the rear. Although I didn’t say it, I was actually thinking about it all the time.

"The road you opened up has come in handy now. The first carriage caravan has already hit the road. Although there are not many things, it is a pioneering achievement. As long as you run back and forth, there will be others. The merchants join in, and at that time, the strength of the castle defense can be linked together."

"It is our honor to serve the Lord."

Siegel waved his hand in disapproval. "It's been three months since you came out. It's really not easy. If you are honored, you won't be able to persevere. You are knights with honor and responsibility, and this is the source of your strength. With a wave of my hand, I can summon the air element to lead me. Fly over, you can only rely on the soles of your feet to measure step by step. The fist fort is in front, I will walk with you."

Mana nodded, handed her mount to her companions, and asked them to do their reconnaissance and pathfinding work, and then walked with Siegel in the middle of the team.

The female knight is not stupid, she knows the style of her lord. If it is simply to send some supplies, he can let his elemental guards do it, instead of running over in person. So Siegel must have a task to teach her this time, and it must be a very important task.

"How did your knights perform along the way?" Siegel said to Mana with a smile: "Can you take on the heavy responsibility?"

Mana nodded and said, "They are all partners that I can entrust with my life. They have gone through the test of blood and fire, and there is no problem."

"I made something that was designed for the elf war tree, but it wasn't battle tested." Siegel said, "I need you to kill an ancient war tree."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"For some reason, I can't let the elves know that this weapon is related to me - if the effect of this weapon meets my expectations, it will change the situation of the war to a certain extent." Siegel urged: "First of all I can't shoot, so as not to leave traces of magic. However, the weapons I prepared are for ordinary warriors and do not need spellcasting ability. The knights who do this are facing the test of life and death, and they must not have anything that may reveal their identity, among them Including the dwarven armor of our territory."

Mana frowned, but nodded firmly. "That's fine."

"I hope to find the lonely ancient tree of war, but from the current situation, the ancient war tree is always followed by elf rangers or druids." Siegel said to Mana: "No one can be captured or captured, so I must Let everyone do a very disgraceful thing: have to swallow poison before going into battle."

Mana gritted her teeth and nodded slowly: "If this is the order of the Lord, we will resolutely implement it."

"Then call everyone over."

In a valley sheltered from the wind, all the knights gathered together, and Mana told the story. The knights hesitated, then agreed. The practice of taking poison in advance is more like a despicable assassin, and some savage orcs will also eat toxic stimulants before battle to improve their combat effectiveness. Knights pay attention to honor. If the lord orders not to be captured by the enemy, at a critical moment, they will use daggers to kill themselves, and swallowing poison is distrust of them.

Siegel saw their thoughts in the eyes of the knights~www.novelmt.com~ and took out a skin bag from the space bag. He casually asked a knight to come up, took out the black potion, and drank it with his head up. His speed was so fast that everyone had no time to stop him.

"Lord Lord!"

Siegel waved his hand, it is suitable for everyone not to be nervous. He was going to give too much to the knight's metal bottle, opened the stopper and took a sip.

"The antidote is mixed in the wine, and it is not harmful to the body when you drink it. When you are sure that you are safe, drink the wine of victory, and everything will be safe." Siegle paused and said to everyone: " I am also a knight and know the honor and code of conduct of knights. But now this matter is so important that I dare not make the slightest mistake. There are many spellcasters in the elves who do not need torture to get out of their captives. Get information. You don't have the relevant training and knowledge, and you don't know how to resist, so I made this decision. For the sake of Heimland and the final victory, your knighthood has been damaged."

The knights shook their heads and said in a babble: "No, Lord, we all understand, we will do according to your instructions."

"It's all for Heimland," they said. (To be continued.)
