Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 85: Walled Mountains and Part 1 Conclusion

Fortunately, Janet escaped the fate of death in this way, and enhanced the power of the demon blood with the help of the potion. Under Siegel's care, it only took her one day to stabilize, her body returned to a normal temperature, and she had the strength to eat. Following Evan's example, Siegel simmered a pot of broth in a crock pot with barley, turnips and onions, slices of overcooked corned beef, and a squirrel. The magic pet raven was sent out to hunt early in the morning, and a beam of flame ray accurately penetrated the squirrel's head, and then came back. The meat of the squirrel was completely preserved. After peeling it, it was thrown into the crock and stewed vigorously. After a while, a strong aroma wafted.

Nuts and pine nuts stored in squirrel holes became the ravens' trophies.

The raven that can spit fire, this is already a strange story, right? Siegel thought, then remembered when the magic awakened. It was an indescribable feeling of excitement and relief, comparable only to hugging Janet. Adding new wood to the fire, letting the flames drive away the cold, and watching the woman you love get better is already the most leisurely and blissful moment of this adventure.

When we left the camp, the wind was blowing very strongly, and the snow on the ground was blown up again. His Royal Highness and nobles set off first, and brought all the combatants. A dozen squires were left behind to handle the final work in the cold wind: the tent ropes were frozen stiff, and a few mules were reluctant to travel in the wind and snow, what if they could not catch up with the vanguard and were in danger. These are all things that followers need to worry about.

Siegel supported Janet in the wind and snow, walking slowly in the middle of the team. This is the safest place and easier to walk. The team in front will level the blood to make it easier to pass, and it has not been passed by too many people, so it will not be too muddy.

There was a whistling from the strong wind, faint and distant, and it was impossible to distinguish what animal it was. At this time, the wolves should not have come out of the hole to hunt for food, and the sound will not be so clear. Accompanied by the whistling sound of wind and snow, this strange cry rose and fell, like a desolate and lonely song, which made the hair stand on end. Siegel sent the familiar out, but the strong wind affected the raven's ability to fly, and it flew back soon exhausted. The black eyes didn't find anything in the air, and the entire city wall mountain range looked extremely desolate.

"I don't know what the weird thing is, I hope it won't attack the team." Siegel bit Janet's ear so that his whispers would not be blown away by the wind. "Usually beasts will avoid the pedestrians who make up the party, but if it is an orc, I will use magic to hide you, don't worry."

"I can turn into an orc and get away with it." Janet grabbed Siegel's arm tightly and gave him a kiss. "You're the one who needs to pay attention to safety."

They cuddled with each other and whispered warm words.

The team walked very slowly, and they were still walking on the mountain road for half a day. The strange sound in the wind not only came from the front, but now it also faintly drifted to the back. Some mercenaries say it's the Yeti in the Walled Mountains, who can create avalanches. However, there was no heavy snow on this side of the city wall mountain range, and the possibility of avalanche was very small, so the mercenary changed his words and said it was a landslide. Everyone knows that this is just a legend to scare children, but they are still vigilant.

There is no rest at noon, and there is no place to rest on the narrow mountain road, so there is no way to make a fire to cook. The same is true for the nobles, there is no time and space to spread out the basket, and there is no way to provide hot food. Everyone just put the jerky and the hard bread in their mouths, and eat them slowly after they are warm. As Siegel walked, he magically heated the wine sac so that he and Janet could have warm drinks. The traveling companion next to him saw this scene and politely asked Siegel for help. When everyone came to the leveling ridge, the people in the middle of the team could drink hot spirits, warm up, and walk more vigorously.

But the team stopped at this moment.

More than 30 cavalrymen blocked the team, and they just stopped at the exit of the leveled ridge. If you continue to move forward from here, one is the road down the mountain, and the other leads to the Black Blood Castle. The opponent deliberately ambush here, and chose the only terrain where the cavalry could charge. The cavalry, all armed with spears and machetes, had crossbows in their hands, enveloping everyone within range. Sir Bill stood at the front of the line, squinting and searching carefully, he found that there should be hidden infantry and marksmen on the ridges on both sides. These people obviously came down at the prince's highness, with bad intentions. But at this time there is only one Dawn Guard, and I don't know how long his divine protection technique can last. If His Royal Highness hadn't lost the mage and the Dawn Guard in a willful expedition, these crossbows and spears would not pose a real threat at all.

"Meet again, Earl Todd." The leading knight was the young master of Black Blood Castle. This time he was fully armed and rode on a short and sturdy gray mountain horse. He stopped at the front of the team without dismounting, and looked down at everyone deliberately. "There are many orcs haunting the mountain, and it is already very unsafe. For the consideration of His Royal Highness, my father decided to abandon the prejudice of the region and provide a refuge for the starry royal family. Earl Todd, please lead the team to the Black Blood Castle, where preparations have been made. Comfortable room and steaming hot food.”

"The enthusiasm of the Slint family really touched us, but His Royal Highness has his own itinerary, and the Black Blood Castle is not among them." Earl Todd endured his anger, stared at the rider and said, "As for the orcs, a little bit of crumbs will not threaten us. Get out of the way quickly, and the team has to continue down the mountain."

"Earl Todd, if His Royal Highness Prince is attacked by orcs here, our family will be to blame. Rather than arguing at that time, it's better to solve the trouble directly. So please go to the Black Blood Castle."

"What if we don't go?" Earl Todd's hand was already on the hilt, and the parrot long sword was slowly drawn out.

"In any case, we can't let His Royal Highness and you fall into the hands of the orcs, that will have a serious impact on the strategy of the entire city wall and mountain range. I will take you back to the Black Blood Castle if you invite or use the collar." With a smile on his face, he said confidently: "Count Todd, do you think these people can stop the cavalry? Many of them are actually willing to go to the Black Blood Castle."

As soon as the voice fell, several mercenaries suddenly drew out their swords and stabbed their companions. Several people were caught off guard and fell into a pool of blood without even screaming, and the scene became very chaotic. Someone pounced on Siegel, but he grabbed his sword-wielding wrist and twisted it. Siegel took his weapon and stabbed his wand into his heart.

Several successful soldiers quickly retreated, leaving the center of the chaos. Siegel was stunned, and suddenly understood the enemy's purpose. He yanked Janet down and shoved it under the mule cart. At this moment, the crossbow bolts hit, and the archers who were hidden on the ridge began to show their power. Siegel tried to dodge, but was shot in the right shoulder. There was not much blood flow, but the muscles were damaged, and he couldn't hold the long sword for a while.

"Idiot, don't shoot the nobles, you have to save your life to demand ransom!" the young lord shouted: "It doesn't matter how many ordinary mercenaries die!"

The nobles drew their weapons one after another, but the three riders fired crossbow bolts at their feet, while the others did not, and continued to aim and deter. Earl Todd shouted: "For the honor of the royal family, it is time for you to fulfill your vows!" He drew his sword and rushed forward, followed by Sir Bill.

The crossbow arrows swept past, all aiming low, specifically attacking the legs of the nobles. After the riders finished their round, they immediately drew their machetes and began to charge. They were also afraid that hitting the nobles to death would violate the orders of the young lord, so the machetes were only to block the opponent's weapons, and the horses only wanted to be knocked down, and would never be trampled.

The nobles had no advantage in front of the cavalry, and a few guys who tried to mount the battle were taken care of by the crossbow arrows. The mounts were quickly shot to death and turned into infantry again. The team was scattered, and the enemy's sword and shield warriors also came down from the ridge concealment and joined the encirclement. The situation on the field has become very unfavorable. The opponent has more than three times the number of people on the prince's side, and they cooperate tacitly and act in an orderly manner. These are elite soldiers who have fought with orcs. They have been on the battlefield many times, and they have already experienced the test of blood and fire. Many of the prince's accompanying nobles only have experience in the competition arena and arena, and the way of the battlefield is completely at the level of the mind, which is basically not helpful.

"Put down the weapon immediately, or I will give the order to fire freely." The young lord did not charge, but faced Earl Todd, who was eyeing him. The old earl brandished his long sword and kept trying to rush up to hold the young lord hostage in order to change the situation on the field. But the three black-clothed guards of the young lord have been blocking the count.

A renegade mercenary with an axe started going crazy under the stimulation of donating blood, and rushed in screaming without thinking. Janet threw the wolf-toothed dagger right in the man's face. Siegel looked at the form. His right shoulder was injured and he couldn't use a weapon. It was too difficult to kill. He put away his wand and pulled out a scroll from the pocket at the back of his waist. This is the invisible scroll he bought in Waterdeep that can make a person completely disappear from sight.

He left the spell to Janet. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Hide and don't get caught." Siegel unfolded the scroll, channeling the power of magic from it. His actions caught the enemy's attention, and a sword-wielding infantry rushed up to chop Siegel to death. A mercenary who had just drunk hot wine jumped over and blocked the enemy for Siegel.

The spell was about to succeed, but a crossbow bolt pierced through the breastplate and pierced into Siegel's stomach. Without the armor, the crossbow bolt wouldn't have pierced less than three centimeters. Despite Siegel's efforts to control, the spell lost its purpose and failed to make Janet invisible.

"Siegel be careful!" Janet shouted suddenly. The two soldiers of Castle Black cooperated with each other to kill the mercenaries who were blocking the road and attacked Siegel. Janet hurriedly took out the Flash Blast Spell Wand, blinding the enemy. She chanted the incantation "Wright! Blass!" The spell was right, but so fast that the flash appeared immediately without buffering. And she didn't aim properly either, shrouding Siegel in the spell's range. Siegel has now lost the ability to resist magic, and before he can close his eyes, he is pierced by the strong light. He couldn't see anything for a while, and could only dodge to one side based on his impression, hoping to delay for a while to restore his vision.

Just as he changed his position, he heard the sound of hooves and the neighing of the mount. A huge force hit his body, and then he felt himself fly out of thin air and keep falling.

Janet's exclamation faintly came from overhead, and then it was covered by the whirring of the wind. He hurriedly focused and used his wand to cast a slow descent spell. The spell is short and fast, and works with only four syllables. Siegel had just finished chanting the spell when he felt a pain all over his body, and then he knew nothing.
