Twenty Sided Dice
Chapter 325: Raid II
?
Siegel would never sit still, and the future he saw in an instant gave him a great warning.
The opponent can pierce layers of magical protection with a dagger, so using a defensive staff to add more spells is guaranteed to be effective? This is unlikely.
It’s natural to use teleportation or any door to escape, but early warning can’t always be used. When the enemy’s attack reappears next time, Sigalna still has such a good chance? He wanted to know where the assassin came from.
Letting go of his hand and letting the defensive staff stand on its own, Siegel reached out and touched the black mace. When the shadow began to twist and gradually formed a human figure, the mace had already brought great power and swung towards the place where the assassin was "destined" to appear.
The serpent-shaped dagger shone coldly, stabbing Siegel's throat. But a strong hand had long been waiting on the way, grasping the assassin's wrist. Siegel flipped his wrist, twisted the enemy's arm hard, and slammed the mace hard.
Like a battering ram hitting the chest from the front, the bones and internal organs of the assassin spurted out from behind, like a house destroyed by a storm, and the furniture and furnishings inside flew out of the broken walls and rolled into the sky. The scene was a mess, with fragments of bones and internal organs all over the floor, and blood spilled all over the interior of the watchtower. The assassin looked at Siegel with astonishment with his gray-blue eyes, his body softened, and he fell down.
He was dressed all in black, a soft, light-absorbing and very close-fitting fabric. Siegel tore off his mask and saw a white, unhuman face. It was a sickly pale, almost translucent skin that had never seen the sun all the year round, with dull blood flowing under it. Siegel did a quick search, and found nothing on his body except the odd-shaped dagger and a bag of coins in his hand.
"Lord Lord, the elves are surrounded!" Kenny shouted under the watchtower: "The ancient trees of war have begun to burn, you can retreat!"
Siegel nodded. The order to retreat was given. He could use teleportation to go directly back to the city, but it would be better to take his subordinates to break through the encirclement. Riding on the phantom steed, Siegel stowed away the serpentine dagger and the black cloth. Encounter a human assassin in the elves' camp. It doesn't seem that simple. Is this an elf killer, or an assassin sent by someone else?
The cavalry team completed the third sneak attack of the day. Make a circle from the north of the elf camp and return to the city of Myr. Almost everyone was wounded, but everyone was victorious. More than 20 ancient war trees of elves were ignited during the raid, and it was impossible for the elves camps outside the city to organize a frontal siege.
The acting lord, Mana, was waiting in the courtyard. Siegel stopped in front of her, jumped off his horse, and asked, "Has the southward convoy left?"
"Yes, Lord. While the elf camp is too busy, Janis has already set off with the goods."
"Very good. I think the elves must be more vigilant this time around." Siegel said with a smile: "Every two or three hours, let the cavalry out of the city to harass, but don't really engage in combat. As long as there is one Keep the elves out of patrols during the day so Janis can leave safely and find his way to Uther."
Siegel also mixed other things in the cargo. He made a teleportation beacon to follow the convoy. When he casts the teleportation technique, he can sense this beacon and select it as the destination, so he can use the teleportation technique to go to places he has not been to.
"Lord Lord, there are 300 boxes of plasma crossbows delivered this time, right?" Mana asked worriedly, "Do we still have stock?"
Siegel shook his head. The assembly line can indeed increase the production speed of magic weapons. But it is impossible to continue to improve indefinitely. These 300 boxes of plasma crossbow bolts are currently all in stock in Myr City.
In this dawn raid, the city of Myr temporarily addressed the threat posed by the ancient tree of war. But also exposed the existence of a large number of plasma bolts. If you continue to store a lot of ammunition in the castle, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide. Siegel simply transported all the plasma arrows out and handed them over to Uther and the other southern lords to arm them. The "uprising" that was originally just a small fight can now gradually become a war of liberation.
The flames of war belonged to the entire New World, not just in Heimland. If the elves concentrate their troops on Myr City, even if Siegel wins the final victory, there will be nothing left in the entire territory. The elves tried to control their territory by planting trees, and they had no allies. Dead soldiers are hard to replenish. Humans are everywhere, like cockroaches in the house. The "birth" is endless, and it seems that no matter what it is, it will not be destroyed.
The knight knight came over. Salute to Siegel and Manna. Siegel patted him on the shoulder, pulled the broken arrow from his breastplate, and said, "You need to be ready to return to Crag Manor. Can you still find those knights who served you?"
Kenji's one eye burst out with excitement and nodded vigorously. "They have been working for Heimland, fighting on the front line. If they can retake the manor, they will fight very heroically."
"I will let Humke lead the soldiers to assist you, but you must also be prepared for a hard fight." Siegel said: "After taking back the castle, I hope you can defend flexibly, don't care too much about the walls and territory, as long as If you hold back the elves, if you don’t get wiped out, you will win. Don’t relocate the peasants until the dust settles. There is enough food in Myr City, so you can go to war with confidence.”
"Unlike other lords, I will help you rebuild Enkat's Cliff Manor, no matter how it is destroyed in the end." Siegel said: "You have to lead your knights and soldiers to live, fight, and fight alive, understand. ?"
Kenji got down on one knee, head down, and punched his chest. "For the victory and honor of the lord!"
"Okay, I know your loyalty and ability." Siegel smiled and helped him up, then said, "Go and arrange the wounded, then go to the hall for breakfast. I heard that the kitchen prepares hot meat. Soup and freshly baked bread, and fragrant and fluffy roast chicken. But don't drink too much alcohol, it will affect the battle."
The cavalry cheered, and even once or twice "Long live the squid lord". Siegel smiled and walked into the castle with Mana.
Siegel set off a small conference room next to his large study, protected by the constant "Mage's Chamber" spell, perfect for secret conversations. A pale gray mist covered the room, preventing light and sound from coming through. Seeing, eagle's ear, and other divination spells cannot peer inside from the outside, but those inside can perceive the outside as normal.
There were only three people in the room. Myrna, Fizzak and Siegel.
Siegel sat in the high-backed chair and summoned invisible servants to pour drinks for the others. He undid the long sword from his waist and leaned against the wall with his staff. Then he took off his hood and armor.
"Lord Lord, you have to pay attention to your own safety. You can't go to the battlefield easily." Feizak advised: "It's better to ask Maul to come back from the outpost of the starting point and serve you on the battlefield. Apart from him, Heim now has all the All the knights have been on the battlefield, and I want him to have the same experience.”
"Thank you, Faizac, but I won't bring Mor back." Siegel said, "The situation at the starting point is not at all simpler than Myr City. The barbarians and wandering magical beasts have tried to attack several times. Why haven't you participated in the battle? You can rest assured. I treat More like a younger brother. I know his skills, so I let him alone."
Feizak quickly expressed his thanks.
Siegel took the serpentine dagger and the black piece of cloth from his close pocket and placed it on the table in front of the two of them. "I met a strange warrior in the elf camp, he could jump out of the shadow without even the slightest magic wave. I killed the assassin and found him to be human. These are his things, have you seen them?"
Mana had been a mercenary for a long time, and Feizak was a well-informed spy. They looked at the two things carefully and looked at each other. Then he shook his head and said, "Lord Lord, there is no clue from the weapon. We have never heard of an organization with such characteristics."
"But this fabric is very interesting." Feizak said: "I have seen almost all kinds of goods in the entire New World through the hands of orcs in Macabda, but I have never seen anyone who can produce this kind of fabric. Only There is only one time when a smuggler from the Old World brought a few feet of this cloth."
"The Old World?" Siegel said. "What have I got to do with that over there?"
"It may be just a hired assassination. The killer's origin cannot be explained. The employer may be from the New World." Mana said: "I will order the soldiers to strengthen the patrol of the castle, so that the assassin cannot take advantage of it."
"I'm not too worried within the range of Myr City. The magic enchantment here provides me with information all the time, and my magic pets are available day and night. Responsible for the work of the sentinel." Siegel said: "I'm worried that the assassin will not be able to take it. After me, I may turn to you. So you should strengthen your defenses."
Mana nodded. She would make this a priority.
"Next thing." Siegel tapped the table. Cover the dagger with black cloth. "The lords of the South have formed an alliance and invited us to join. I'm not optimistic about their abilities - whether it's a coalition or an alliance - but there's no need to isolate Heimland. You two talk about it, let's go. What should I do next?"
Faizak cleared his throat and said: "According to the information, before the fall of Waterdeep, Uther led his troops to several victories. They fought very smartly, and like Heimland, they were not limited by the land. Instead, harass and kill elves as much as possible. They are familiar with the land in the south and can always find supplies and hiding places, but a small group of elves have nothing to do with them. However, they recently encountered elves spellcasters, lost Taking advantage of the battlefield, I had to retreat to the castle again."
"I think they came to invite you at this time, mainly because of your identity as a mage." Mana said: "In addition, they may have guessed the source of the plasma bolts, and they are afraid that they will lose the supply of weapons after isolating you. That's why the alliance was proposed. But these people are too careless to send letters through the caravan. It is only right that the knights of bravery and honor should bring the message in person~www.readwn.com~ want to get benefits but are unwilling to pay," Fizzach took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve, handed it to Siegel, and said, "It's not surprising that the lords of the South have always been famous for this. But they sent a letter last night, very earnestly, Acknowledging the power of the lord, and formally inviting you to join the alliance as a lord, and lead the war against the elves."
"Who wrote it?" Siegel opened it and saw that the signature was Uther's name. The entire letter is in the same font, and it seems that Viscount Drey wrote it in his own hand.
The material of parchment is not the kind commonly used for writing letters, but the special paper used by mages to copy scrolls. Siegel held it up and sniffed it under his nose, smelling the slight scent of magic materials.
Using his hand as a wand, he casts spells that identify magical objects. A few lines of hidden dragon language words slowly emerged in the blanks of the parchment.
"Honourable Baron Siegel, Mr. Mage, the City sends you the most friendly greetings. The owner of this letter is loyal to the orthodox successor of the Starry Kingdom, His Majesty King Aaron Starry I, please assist. I wish you great power. Accompanied by learning, honor and achievement." Followed by the shining magic emblem of the Academy. (To be continued.)
