17. Wave goodbye on the surface of the lake
Towards ten o'clock in the evening, there was a rare moment of silence on the battlefield, and the able-bodied savages silently dragged away the bodies of their comrades, and there was no sorrow in their eyes, and death was like another new life, perhaps the end of suffering, and in short, there was nothing to grieve. The blood www.biquge.info of the pen and the pavilion stained the shallows on the north shore of the lake red, and the Gubolai horses who fell on the beach still had scale armor hanging on their bodies, and the broken military flags were planted diagonally aside, and the broken flags were stained with blood, and the wind blew fiercely.
Some of the soldiers of the Guard Regiment in chain mail leaned together, they did not say a word, they all looked up at the sky in unison, the sunset was like a burning fire, making the whole western canopy red, and the glow should be on the faces of the soldiers, as if it had inlaid them with a golden edge. After a whole day of fierce fighting, the physical strength of each soldier has been squeezed out, and the original guard regiment of 5,000 people has been reduced by nearly half of its strength now, but everyone is still holding on to one belief, the belief of fighting.
The horse broth was delivered to every warrior, and the warriors, who usually drank wild vegetable porridge and ate raw jerky, could not swallow the broth for a long time, and the warriors preferred to bury the Gubolai horses that had died in battle rather than eat their meat. Once upon a time, they were like brothers with the horses, they could sleep in the same stable, they could share a manger for drinking, and they could gallop on the boulevard by the White Elephant River. But now, the broth in the soldiers' bowls was so heavy that they couldn't hold it on either hand.
Everyone knows what they will face when the night comes. Every dawn eve is the time when the savages on the ice and tundra are at their strongest, and only they can be fearless of the cold night, patiently waiting for the moment before dawn to launch a deadly onslaught on the enemy
In the darkness of the night, the barbarians will shoot warriors with spears everywhere they shine. The barbarians of the north were accustomed to long dark nights. More accustomed to fighting in the dark, they rely on their strong bodies to crush their enemies from the front.
Sitting on a broken war drum, the thin sword forged by Tsersilver in his hand has become distorted, find a towel and wipe it carefully, today it is a hero on the battlefield, Jing Yue has pierced the heads of eleven barbarians with this thin sword. The barbarians on the battlefield looked very young, if it was those elite barbarian warriors who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, Jing Yue knew that it was impossible for his guard regiment to hold out until now.
The leggings of her silver knight's armor were wrapped in a slender ****, and she sat on the war drum, trying to make herself look as steady as her breathing, although every time she raised her hand to wipe the rapier, it took courage. His body was so tired that he could no longer hold the sword in his hands. She needed to rest, and the remaining two thousand six hundred people of the entire guard regiment needed to rest, and she shook her long golden hair. The crown of red feathers rested on the wooden shelf beside her, and she put down her wipe-wiped sword, reached out and twisted a piece of bread on the wooden shelf and stuffed it into her mouth, forcing herself to eat it.
The old mage Clement is still meditating, and he will wake up again at nightfall.
Jing Yue sighed silently, her impulsive decision at the beginning buried the entire guard regiment. Where did those barbarians who spread all over the mountains come from, Jing Yue's mind came to mind that day in the council hall. The scene of Duke Wall's rage, and the inexplicable disappearance of his sister Sa Ellie. Then he was found again, and later appeared in the hospital in Sloit, when his uncontrollable anger erupted, everything was so interlocking and reasonable, but everything was so coincidental. But I can't find a flaw at all.
Jing Yue wants to fight with the soldiers until the last moment, even if it is death, it doesn't matter.
In fact, it was not without thinking about escaping into the lake, but there were a few and a half of the soldiers in the guard regiment who could not swim, and if they chose to land on the other side of the lake, it would mean abandoning the wounded on the basis. If you give up at least half of the fighters, there will be little left of the Zhenggeng Guard Regiment, Jing Yue doesn't have the courage to face such a fragmented Guard Regiment, rather than that, it is really better to let yourself die on the battlefield tonight, at least live with more dignity.
A moment ago, the soldiers still persuaded Jingyue to leave the battlefield with the old mage Clement after dark, and almost all of them believed that this night would be their last night in this world.
Jingyue is also in an endless struggle......
But at this moment, the night sky is already covered with bright stars, reflecting the sparkling blue surface of the lake, after the breeze blows, the lake water sets off layers of waves overlapping and lapping on the pebbles on the shore, sounding the sound of "whooshing" water.
Jing Yue faced the vast fish lake, fell into a wonderful state, she was in contemplation, at this time she saw a black shadow, was stepping on the surface of the lake, he was covered with a bright starry sky above his head, stepping on a straight water line under his feet, the lake water to both sides of the invariably separated, like a water arrow shot to the side of the team.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and it was getting clearer and clearer in her eyes, and she could see that it was a human boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he was wearing a very ordinary cotton shirt and linen pants, and he looked like the same as those teenagers in the city, but he was standing on the surface of the lake at this time, looking so natural, and even with a faint smile on his face, he was panting slightly, and it looked like he had just run violently, and his breath was disordered.
But it was such an ordinary teenager who came on the surface of the Star Lake at night.
He was standing calmly on the lake at the moment, a light blue stone drum hung on his belt, exuding a faint light, and the faint magical aura was constantly spreading outward, the young man gasped slightly, looked at Jing Yue, who was sitting on the dilapidated war drum and pondered, and said, "While there is still some time, let's transfer the wounded soldiers first, okay?"
Is there anything better than this? Jing Yue suddenly felt like a helpless little girl at this time, seeing someone who could help her, the chick kept nodding her head like pecking rice, and that inexplicable sense of security almost broke through the last spiritual defense line in an instant.
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
I saw the charming female knight, somewhat helplessly sitting on a tattered war drum, with a wiped thin sword on her legs, and her slightly resolute and heroic face was a little tired and helpless, like a homeless girl. She looked at the silent lake in confusion until I rushed over and she looked at me with surprise.
I said to her, "While there is still some time, shall we transfer the wounded soldiers first?"
She didn't even ask how to transfer the wounded soldiers, so she nodded impatiently and agreed. When she stood up, I realized that her body was slender and slender. A knight's armor forged from silver was worn on her body, and she looked particularly beautiful. With her long blond hair draped behind her head, and a helmet with a red bird feather in her hand, she hurried towards me.
In the silence of the night, several warriors suddenly appeared around her to protect her safety, standing between me and her.
The female knight pushed the knights away with all her might, and rushed towards me regardless of it, seeing that she had stepped into the lake in succession, and her exquisite path armor had all been immersed in the icy water. I sighed, my fingertips drew a magic pattern circle in front of my body, and a water elemental mana converged into a stream of energy, like a ball of air arrows shot at the female knight's body, and suddenly the energy of the water magic element gave the female knight the ability to stand on the water, she stepped on the water in surprise and walked towards me.
And I'm at the moment. I was savoring the wonderful taste of the "magic recovery" of the sapphire stone drum. Usually the magic on this stone drum totem is the least used by me, even when I usually practice those magic spells repeatedly. I also rarely turn on the 'mana regeneration' on the sapphire stone drum totem, I even prefer that the mana in my body is depleted, and then I can increase the proficiency of 'heating', where will I turn on 'mana regeneration' in this case!
It's like countless nectar like spring rain, slowly falling from the sky. The water-based magical elements dripping on my body kept seeping into my body, constantly moisturizing my body, and a clear warm current came out of my limbs and bones, converging into a new magical power.
"What is this? is this magic?" the female knight's voice was very attractive, and there was an unmistakable power in her tone.
She had come close to me by this time. When they approached me again, I quickly and cautiously took two steps back, distanced myself from her, and then nodded and said, "This is a general-purpose magic 'water walking' that is not common in the Grimm Empire, it originally belonged to the magic of the shamans of the orc tribes on the Pai Plateau, and now this magic has been circulated. It has only one function, as its name suggests, 'walking on water'. ”
Jing Yue saw that I was a little unapproachable, so she took the initiative to stop and said: "If you have any requests, just mention it now, if I can do it, I will definitely not refuse, before I want to return to my decision, I hope you will cherish this opportunity, I-Jing Yue Aili promise, after we leave safely, I will honor what I promised you tonight." ”
I said I touched my head and thought about it, but for a while I really didn't know what I needed, whether I wanted the most luxurious villa in the rich area of El City or a box of magic crystals, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't think about what I wanted, maybe after the magic awakening ceremony, I needed an apprentice-level magic wand, or an admission letter from the most famous junior magic academy in Sloit Province, but after thinking about it repeatedly, I felt that these were not so important, and now I just want to grow up quietly, although I know that doing so is an adventure for meBut I can't ignore the lives of those brave warriors, and when I think about it, I don't know what I want.
So he said to her: "Don't let those warriors see me, and please forget me from tomorrow, I just want to make my life a little dull, and I don't want to be caught around by the old madmen in the ivory tower, like a guinea pig on a test bench." You understand what I mean?"
"Actually, I hate that old guys too, they have been hiding in ivory towers for years, and they don't know what they're studying! Well, deal, I promise you, I won't tell anyone about you! In the future, I will never take the initiative to look for you, but if one day, when we meet again, I hope that we will be friends, and we can stand and talk together, and if we have a chance to meet in the future, I hope to invite you to dinner with you in a restaurant in Sloit......" Jingyue Aili said to me with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
I hurriedly said, "Deal!" but ......."
My voice was lengthened, Jingyue Aili looked at me with some doubts, and I smiled and said to her, "When you have dinner together, don't forget to bring money!"
Looking at Jing Yue's smiling and groaning face, it was as if she was saying, "Does any restaurant in Sloit City dare to take my money?"
......
It was a very long process, and for the whole night I sat on a rock on the shore, with my back to the warriors who walked silently into the lake in a long line, at first some of the warriors passed by with wounded soldiers on their backs, and I tried my best to keep casting spells, and the casting speed went from slow to fast, and later, on the contrary, my mana was not enough, and the "heating" skill had a 209% increase in mana recovery, with the "mana regeneration" on the sapphire stone drum totem As long as I set the cast speed to a specific rhythm, the mana can break even.
But after all, it's still too slow, too slow!
In the end, Jingyue Aili had to make another decision, the first to leave were the wounded soldiers, then the soldiers in the guard regiment who didn't know how to water at all, and then those who were not good at water were also asked to leave in advance, the whole operation was done very secretively, and it was pitch black in the camp, leaving no chance for those barbarians in the distance to throw hands.
All night, there were definitely no more than five short spears shot in the night sky.
The barbarians may have wanted to break through the last line of defense of the guard regiment before dawn, and almost all the barbarian warriors chose to rest, believing that the Sloit City guard regiment was no longer capable of organizing a breakthrough again, so they quietly waited for the last stop to come.
......
When the light of dawn lit up a white line on the eastern horizon, the black night had faded to blue, and the two criss-crossing stars gradually disappeared into the night, and the range of vision of the barbarians gradually increased, and when they lined up, nearly 5,000 barbarian warriors formed a phalanx and approached the camp of the guard battalion.
But when the morning fog lifted, the empty battlefield became dead silent.
The last group of five hundred men of the guard regiment stood side by side on the surface of the lake, silently watching the group of barbarians.
The barbarian warriors looked at the soldiers of the Guard Regiment standing on the surface of the lake in disbelief, and finally rushed towards the edge of the lake in anger, but when they reached the water's edge, the barbarians stepped their legs into the knee-deep water, and refused to go into the lake, and they even kept shaking in the knee-deep water, like a group of drunken people.
Jingyue Aili rode on the Gubolai horse, stood on the water surface of the fish lake, looked back and quietly looked at the angry barbarians, quietly raised her arms, and made a retreat gesture towards the last five hundred guards soldiers......
There was no kind of goodbye, and when I felt that Jingyue's guard regiment no longer needed me to cast spells, I disappeared like air.
And I was floating in the lake at this time, and then the undercurrent of the lake, little by little drifting to the other side, my face was a little pale, anyone who tried their best to cast more than 2,000 spells throughout the night, the mana in their bodies was repeatedly depleted, their state would not be much better than mine, and I was just physically exhausted.
At this point, after tonight, my "heating" magic skill has reached level 30, and I clearly feel that all the nodes in my body are like a nest of clear springs, and pure mana gushes out from the nodes everywhere in my body, which is like the scene of mana generated from the magic pool described by Sister Guoguo.
It's just that for me now, the places where the magic keeps pouring out are the nodes of the whole body...... (To be continued.) )
