The people of the North believed that apart from the towering walls and bed crossbows, only the Knights could hold back the barbarian armies.In recent years, as the number of eagles in the north has increased, some barbarians have always been killed.The barbarians suffered enough in the north, they began to look for the reason, and found that they were stolen by the eagles and died, so the barbarians felt that it would be safer for everyone to get together, and they could easily capture some weakly defended towns, so the barbarians began to wander the northern territory in groups.When the barbarians form a large group, the destruction of the northern frontier is undoubtedly very great, they do not have enough supplies in the wilderness, so they have to go to the human villages in search of food, once they can not find enough food, they will destroy some houses and trees, more often, these barbarians will eat people to satisfy hunger.However, the barbarians who walk together in groups will also encounter some new problems, and when they gather together, the target becomes larger, which is easy to attract the attention of the military of the North Wind Legion, once the Constructed Knights follow behind the Barbarians, it will be difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Constructed Knights unless they are broken into pieces and flee into the mountains.The city of El is one of the few cities that the barbarians do not want to approach in the province of Sloit, the main reason is that the consuls of the city of El have always insisted on the clear wall, and every year before the river is closed, the city of El will have officials go to the surrounding towns and villages to persuade the people there to spend the winter in the city.In addition, four years ago, the barbarians of the Stormbear tribe failed to besiege El City, which also left some shadows on the hearts of these barbarians.Unexpectedly, in the winter of this year, these barbarians would actually cross the city of El and go to the cities in the south of the province to rob human slaves.A large group of barbarians gathered on the ice of the river downstream of the Lake Beran Ice Falls, who wanted to cross the Arm Mountain to the area of Ranham City to plunder the Imperial people in the town, but could not find their way over the Arm Mountain.Thousands of barbarian warriors wandered at the foot of the northern slope of the Arm Mountain, and it seemed that they had just arrived here.The northern slopes of the mountain are steep and stretching for hundreds of kilometers, the northern slopes are overgrown with dense yellow and red pines, and the barbarians hate to walk through the dense pine forests, the branches of the pine trees can easily catch their bodies, and the steep mountains are covered with snow, making it difficult to climb even with bare hands.Dozens of barbarians carried over a giant tree dozens of meters long and headed towards the valley entrance of the Belan Lake Waterfall, apparently deciding to capture the pass of the Belan Lake Waterfall.The strength of the barbarians lies in their strong physique, they run like a wild horse, they can wrestle with bison with their bare hands, they are not afraid of the cold, even in the coldest winter, they do not need cotton clothes to protect against the cold.They are good at fighting in the wilderness, but they are not good at siege warfare, and they don't even know how to build ladders.The average barbarian warrior is able to catch and kill the opponent without falling behind.When these barbarians form a squad, their combat effectiveness is greatly improved, and they can even face off against the same number of Constructed Knights in the field.The Eagle Squad can kill lone Barbarian warriors in the wild, but they are helpless against the Barbarian Brigade.The group hid in the dense forest between the mountains, and I stood on a wild pear tree, looking down the hillside, and a large group of barbarians came in a line from the west side of the Left Arm Mountain, and gathered on the glacier below the Beran Falls, where the water had long been frozen, and the countless condensed waters of the waterfalls were like countless sharp swords plunged from the sky.Like a goshawk, Deborah folded her wings from high in the sky, plunged from the sky, and swooped straight into the forest.If an ordinary bird dared to do this, it would inevitably have its wings scraped off by the branches in the dense forest, but Deborah, who has the strong body of a succubus, flexibly climbed the branches with both hands, and after a few swings between the branches, she counteracted the momentum of the fall, made an elegant somersault in the forest, landed smoothly on the ground, folded her wings and ran to Karantso's side.Deborah had an indescribable sense of dependence on Karantso, her little white face was frozen a little blue by the cold wind from above, and her clear eyes were filled with infinite curiosity as she gazed at the barbarian brigade below the mountains, her silver hair swaying in the wind.She habitually touched the yellow-orange-orange collar around her neck with her hand, leaning on Karantso's back, her two wings tucked behind her back, the white wings were nothing, but the dark flesh wings of the other succubus had a layer of ice crystals condensed, shining like diamonds in the sun."
Is it cold or not?"
Karantso casually placed a cloak over Deborah's body and asked her.Deborah showed a happy look on her face and said with a smile: "Fortunately, every time I fly, I feel that my body is going to be frozen by the cold wind, and my body will be like a fire, and then it will not be cold at all." ”Karantso didn't think anything was wrong when he heard Deborah say this.But I've seen Sue's shadow body look when it attacked, when the shadow patterns on Sue's body appeared on her skin, her whole body seemed to be on fire, and those shadow patterns spread on Sue's body little by little, as if they were going to devour her whole person.I went to Deborah's side, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her sleeve up to her elbow, and saw the dark patterns that looked like volcanic lava all over Deborah's arms, but the shadow patterns were fading rapidly with the naked eye.When Karantso saw that he reached out and ripped Deborah's collar open, and found that her full and bulging breasts were also covered with such magic patterns, he asked me in surprise, "Is this the shadow pattern of the succubus clan?"
”My gaze wandered along the lines to Deborah's neck, only to see that the patterns spread to the yellow-orange-orange collar and then stopped abruptly, and these patterns were actually stopped by the slave collar, and there was no way to continue to spread upward.Unexpectedly, it has been less than half a month since Deborah came to the north, and her own strength has been so greatly improved, and she has also awakened the shadow demon pattern in her body that originally belonged to the succubus.I nodded to Karantso and said, "That's right, it's the Shadow Patterns, but I don't know what's going on, these Patterns have actually stopped spreading upwards in the slave collar. ”Normally, without a strong enough mental power, there is no way to stop the spread of the Shadow Demon Pattern.But this anomaly appeared on Deborah's body, and those shadow patterns did not invade Deborah's face, perhaps because of this, Deborah was covered with shadow patterns, but her mind was always clear.Seeing Ebola in this strange state reminded me of Sue, which is a way to suppress the power of the shadows.If Sue also had such a magic metal collar around her neck, if she used the Shadow Body, I don't know what the situation would be, maybe the Spirit Sea would not be eroded by the shadow magic that erupted from the Shadow Body.Then I asked Deborah, "How far in the sky do you see the ranks of these barbarians going out?"
”Deborah stood on a rock, pointed to the west side of the Arm Mountain, and said to me, "All the way to the col over there, there are barbarians everywhere. ”I asked Deborah again, "Have you ever seen a human team like us hiding in the mountains and forests?"
”Deborah jumped down from the rocks and said to me, "Yes, there is one on the hillside opposite us, and there are about a dozen of them, and they think I won't be able to see them when they hide in the pine trees, naively!"
”It seems that in aerial reconnaissance, the field of vision is still very wide, and almost anything can be seen.So, I couldn't help but ask Deborah, "So did you see the pass at the top of the waterfall?"
”Deborah asked me a little uncertainly, "You mean the gatehouse built on the mountain road?"
”I then asked Deborah, "Pretty much!"
How many people were stationed at that pass?
”Deborah frowned and said to me, "There's no one in the city!"
Oh oh oh no, there were probably two guards in light armor, and they ran around the city walls and planted flags all over the city, don't you think it's funny?
”Deborah speaks broken imperial Chinese, but also has a full imperial capital accent, she does not understand grammar, can only say the most commonly used words, so the words that come out usually make me ponder for a long time.It's just that this time, I understood Deborah's words at once, and I was scared out of a cold sweat by her."
Hey, wake up, Deborah, what are you talking about!
How can there be no one stationed at such an important checkpoint as the Beran Lake Pass!
”I put my arms around her shoulders and shook her awake so hard that I told Deborah that maybe she was talking in a wrong or sleep.Deborah's long silver hair was shaken in the air by me, and she protested, "Oh, Giga, what are you doing, I'm not talking in my dreams!"
If you don't believe it, go see for yourself!
”I almost put my face on her face and asked her, "Are you saying that there is really no garrison on the walls of the Beran Lake checkpoint at all?"
”Deborah didn't avoid my gaze, but nodded at me and said, "Yes, there can be no mistake, I can see it clearly in the sky." ”I still can't believe Deborah's words.I said to Karantso, "I'm going to see it myself!"
”As I spoke, I pulled out the magic handle from my magic waist bag, and while inputting magic power, I rode up, and the floating circle lit up little by little, and the magic handle carried me into the air slowly, at this time, Karantso jumped up from the ground, sat down behind me, and said to me, "Take me." ”The two of us rode through the cracks in the dense forest on the magic handlebars, and lifted off from a slightly farther position.As soon as the magic god got out of the dense forest, I felt the cold wind in the sky freeze my leather coat all of a sudden, and I finally experienced what kind of chill Deborah had been suffering in the air, a cold wind choked into my chest, and I felt that my internal organs were cold.Hurriedly released an ice shield in front of us, which seemed to block the cold wind from blowing, and we rode the magic handle to raise the height as much as possible, because the short flying spears of the barbarians dominated the height of about 100 meters at low altitudes, and we could not dodge those flying spears thrown from the ground in the air.After raising the magic handle to a safe height, I ignored the commotion of the barbarians in the valley below, and flew straight towards the pass at the mouth of the waterfall.When I rode the magic sword to the sky above the pass, I found that the pass was wide open to the city gate facing the city of Lanham, and all kinds of scattered materials were discarded along the road, there were no people on this road, and the valley pass looked like a mess, it should be a city full of guards, and there were really only two warriors running back and forth at the head of the city.The two of them were preparing for battle on the city wall, and bundles of crossbow arrows were carried to the side of the bed crossbow.At this time, one of the guards at the head of the city saw me floating in the air on a magic handle, and he stood on the wall and beckoned to me, worried that I would not see him, and climbed onto the battlement of the female wall, shaking his arm vigorously.Seeing the guards signaling us to fall, I didn't hesitate and flew directly to the top of the city on the magic sword.As soon as I jumped off the magic handle, I was surrounded by two guards at the pass, who looked at me hopefully and saluted me, "Your Excellency the Magician, have you come from Lanham City to help our reinforcements?"
”I sat down on the magic handlebar and spread my hands out to the two guards, "I'm sorry, we're just the Eagle Squad from El City. ”Karantso jumped off the magic handle, and with a few slight jumps, he jumped to the top of the city wall and looked out over the steep valley road, where several barbarians were looking up at the mouth of the mountain pass, and others were preparing for the siege."
AhhSo you're eagles," the guard warrior said to me in a tremolo, looking excited and disappointed.Then he lowered his gaze and bowed apologetically to me.The guards let me stand on the rampart, and said to my companions who had rushed over with a look of frustration: "Ah, Kereji, I thought reinforcements had come to our aid!"
It seems that this is just my wish, they are all gone, and no one will rush to help us!
”Another guard soldier happened to be carrying a heavy bundle of crossbow arrows, and he stopped and said to the guard before him, "Yes, Ram, let's carry a few more arrows to the bed while the barbarians are not rushing up!"
”I followed behind the guard named Ram.He was asked, "What about the warriors who are guarding here?"
”Ram and Correji stopped and promised me, "Here we are, Your Excellency the Sorcerer. ”I waved my hand at them and said, "I mean the others, there shouldn't be only two assistants in this pass!"
”The warrior Ram showed a faint silence on his face, and said to me: "They are all gone, they all have to settle their relatives before the barbarians rush over, only me and Kereji have no relatives since childhood, so we can only stay here and continue to fight." ”As he spoke, Ram picked up the arm-thick bed crossbow arrows and put them into the grooves of the bed crossbow, the bowstring of the bed crossbow had been neatly twisted by the two of them, and as long as he gently pulled the bracket, the crossbow arrows could be shot.Looking at the barbarians who had climbed up the mountain path, I turned my head to look at Karantso, who made a gesture of safety.I chased after the guards of the wall, and said to them, "I have some servants under me, and I can let them go to the pass at the top of the hill to resist the barbarians below." ”After saying that, I didn't wait for the two pass guards to make any indications, I mounted the magic sir and raised the flight altitude, and flew towards the hiding place of our eagle team in the opposite mountain
