Chapter Sixty-Eight: Trolls Are Afraid of Fire

Although the threat inside the Birthi Church has been lifted for the time being, the trolls outside the city are still killing all sides. The elite divisions of the Duchy of Borot were helpless against it, it felt almost no pain, and its ability to recover was so strong that even if you just cut off one of its arms, it could instantly grow a new one.

After Albert, Tarun and the others dealt with the black elves in the church, they hurried to the south gate to discuss a good solution to this monster.

Adrian was so overwhelmed in grief that he took all the blame on himself. If he had not been so impulsive, perhaps he would have been able to settle it peacefully, if he had not been in a hurry to wield a knife and a gun, perhaps he would not have injured Bishop Mirière, and if he had been a prisoner of hard labor, perhaps the Bishop would not have had such a thing. His conscience constantly condemned him, so much so that many strange thoughts were born.

He himself is not a man of words, and he has little experience in comforting others. The Countess of Destiny was now devastated, first his father was buried by an earthquake, and then his sweetheart from childhood was killed by several dark-skinned cold-blooded animals, Adrian was a commoner, not even a commoner, and he felt that he was so far away from the princess that there was no way to talk to her as an equal, and no way to tell her his remorse. He decided to go out of town with Albert to meet the behemoth, and to vent his disturbed and troubled emotions in a useful place.

When Tarun learned that the monster was invulnerable, he immediately said, "It must take some magical substance, or something else unexpected to restrain it." It's hard to work with physical methods anymore. ”

It was also the first time that Krees had seen such a monster, and although the Black Elf Lost often raided the Danse Forest, they had never used such a powerful giant creature. He hesitated slightly, and then suggested: "In that case, why don't we try to attack with fire?"

"Then we have to drag him out of the city first, and wait until the rain has subsided, and then we can carry him out. Albert said this sentence out of desperation, after all, in this way, the sacrifices were all his elite soldiers.

Because it was destined to be a war of attrition, a protracted war, and a war of movement, several of their upper echelons were invited back to the city tower to take command.

Kreese took the opportunity to give a brief account of the situation at Mandunkou, emphasizing in particular the strange thinking and actions of the general Dreyer. When Tarun heard this, he was very satisfied: "In that case, then we are happy to be idle." Your Highness, there is something that I have not had time to report to you, which should be regarded as good news. When you went to Taiping Mountain, the emperor sent a handwritten letter, inviting you to the imperial capital Xisa City for a banquet. ”

"Going to the feast?" Albert couldn't understand for a while, "How's the war going in the north?"

"It is said that the Emperor has recovered the holy city of Roma, and that your father, the Duke of Borot the Elder, has done a great job, and that the Emperor is ready to reward the meritorious ones, so he has made a special offer to hold this feast in the city of Cesa. ”

"That's new. Albert was skeptical, he looked a little incredulous that his father would survive, and after a period of silence, he suddenly said excitedly, "This is indeed the only good news worth commendating in recent times!"

Tarun also nodded and smiled, "That's right, but you have to take a little precautions." This time, the emperor basically invited the dukes and counts of the entire Tambolance Empire and all kinds of nobles, so it is absolutely impossible for him to take the opportunity to kill, otherwise he will definitely become a loner, but we also need to beware of small actions in other aspects. Your Highness is here, don't be too ostentatious, and act in a low-key manner to ensure that you are safe and sound. ”

"Strategist, everything is at your command. Albert respectfully agreed with Taron's opinion, but he also raised his own doubts, "Why was it that my father was able to survive when there were rumors that the emperor wanted to kill my father?" ”

"Your Highness, you and I think the same way. The current way is to only take one step at a time, he makes one move and we will make one move after another, as long as he does not travel to the pool, he can deal with the law, and the emperor is helpless. ”

At this time, there was a commotion outside the city, and the soldiers seemed to be teasing the monster, and their mouths kept making provocations such as "yo ho", which even overshadowed the sound of wind and rain.

Albert and the others discussed state affairs while observing the situation under the castle tower.

The soldiers of the Duchy of Borot have been ordered by the military advisor Tarun Crawford, and now they are starting to move away from this monster to safety. It goes further, so does the encirclement, it takes a step back, the circle steps back, it moves to the left, they move to the left, it rages, it raises its long arms to make a pot, the encirclement spreads farther and farther away, and tries to do as little as possible without casualties.

If the monster intended to approach the city gates, Borot's soldiers lined up with spears in a line of snakes, and struck in unison, with the tips of their spears pointing up at forty-five degrees and the butts of their guns against the ground, and they fell to one knee and clamped their arms tightly between their waists and arms. Behind these people were several rows of reserve personnel in the same posture, forming a very impressive, hedgehog formation, an insurmountable obstacle from a distance.

Although the monster was invulnerable and had an amazing ability to recover, it was impossible to roll over the tip of the spear. It's like bending a pair of chopsticks easily, but it's very difficult to bend a bundle of chopsticks. It is true that it is not easily injured by physical methods, but if it is continuously stabbed by such a neat array of spear tips, I am afraid that it will not have time to recover.

It had already tried to break through this formation before, and although it did crush the Borot soldiers in the first few rows at first, it lacked stamina, and when it was time to continue to cross the mountain of spears, its recovery ability reached its limit, and it was no longer enough to support its hard rush.

There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and it seemed that the time when the rain had stopped and the wind was about to come. Tarun ordered a large oil pot to be erected behind the hedgehog array, almost large enough to fit three horses side by side, and then used a human wall to block the fading wind, and began to boil the oil pot on a fire under the oil pot.

He also ordered the men to be prepared with finely textured feathered arrows, ready to launch a deadly fire attack on the monster at any moment.

Adrian had been on the castle tower for a long time, and he felt uncomfortable, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the one who started the bow. Tarun and Albert were very considerate of him, and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Although Adrian's mind at this time was still only about revenge for Bishop Mirière and self-pity, it was obviously much smoother than before, at least he could do something practical, instead of blindly immersing himself in the curse of complaining.

His arm strength and lower back strength are amazing, he can open bows and crack stones, and his anger is focused on it, which increases his lethality a lot.

As soon as the sky cleared and Tarun gave the ground running, Adrian got up to his head and hit the rocket on the side of the frying pan and slammed it at the monster's neck.

The so-called adding fuel to the fire is talking about the current situation. The monster was injured by this sudden cold arrow, and suddenly became manic, and it was originally slow to move, looking left and right to find the guy who didn't know whether to live or die. Before it came back to its senses, it was followed by a rain of arrows like flying locusts, no less than the rain in the sky just now, and the monster suddenly caught fire all over its body, and the fire stuck to its body, allowing you to roll and crawl, but you couldn't break free, and no matter how powerful the recovery ability was, it couldn't be saved.

It slammed to the ground and collapsed to the ground, letting out a few heart-rending wails. Krees, who was on the castle tower, was not willing to be lonely, he took out the bowstring behind his back, set up a posture, mounted the magic flame arrow, and brushed it a few times, so that the monster had no room to maneuver at all.

The Borot soldiers below the city thundered with joy to celebrate this great victory, and the monster, after struggling for a long time, finally stopped making a sound, and it was completely dead!

Seeing that the situation was settled, Tarun told Albert to go back and prepare, and immediately rushed to the city of Cesar to attend the emperor's celebration banquet. He was worried about who would accompany His Highness. Although Kaigen has recovered, after all, he has recovered from a serious injury, which is always not reassuring, and his temperament is too reckless, which is really embarrassing. Although Krees is good, he is an elf, and I am afraid that there will be some inconvenience at the emperor's banquet. As for the thief Best and others, it is not worth considering. On his own side, he must sit in the city of Birti, and he can't leave easily.

While he was thinking and wandering, Adrian appeared at His Highness's side and asked to return to the church of Bildty to accompany Bishop Mirière and Countess d'Stini. Talon patted his head and suddenly came to his mind, and he asked tentatively, "Would you like to help us again? ”

Although Adrian has long regarded the church of Bilty as his home, and Bishop Mirière is a unique light in his heart, but now that the bishop has passed away, he really has nothing to play there, although he can also do some rough work, but it is not a long-term solution. The bishop's last request was only spoken to him, and only one of them understood, and he immediately expressed his willingness to listen to the Talen's command.

Tarun smiled and said, "Not at my disposal, but for you to accompany His Royal Highness Albert to the imperial capital of Cesar City for a banquet." You must always protect the safety of Your Highness, and you must not relax in the slightest. If necessary, help His Highness's father. It's an easy task, but it's a great task to think about before you make a decision. ”

"Then please let me go back to the Birti Church first, and after I have made the necessary farewells, I will accompany His Highness to the east. ”

Tarun nodded in satisfaction.
