Chapter 140: Thoughts
One foot above the ground, the wind and snow stopped for no reason. 「」
Like a frozen mirror image, the "mirror" in the middle cracked a crack for no reason, as if a knife was cut on the mirror surface, and a strong male low-level demon was thrown out of the crack.
Boom!
The male demon who was suddenly thrown out didn't seem to have adapted to the change of the scene, and he didn't have time to adjust his posture when he fell from a height of one foot in the air, so he fell directly to the cold and hard ground, and his heavy body, which was only wearing a leather robe and exposing half of his arms, was in direct contact with the ice on the lake, only listening to the crackling of the ice, and there seemed to be some cracks underneath.
Having lived on the Northland Ice Plain for a long time, he was extremely familiar with the various landforms of the ice field, and the male demon clan was immediately aroused by the sound of the ice breaking to the crisis instinct, lying motionless on the ice, not even daring to look at his eyes, and carefully listening to the sound under the ice.
At this moment, a fiery red ray fell on the ice in the demon race's field of vision, and it seemed that he was too far away to lack stamina, and only drilled a finger-deep hole in the ice, and smoke slowly came out of the small hole, which was still a foot away from where he was.
The demon clan was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the opposite bank, and saw a short figure in a dark robe in the wind and snow.
Dare to wear such a conspicuous color in the ice and snow, and be alone, if you are not a fool, then you must be proud of your strength......
And that red ray also made the demon think of something, and he cursed a few words in his heart, glad that the distance between the two sides exceeded the spell limit distance, and then crawled in the opposite direction of the ray with all fours - it's not that he can't beat it, it's just that he is now on the ice, the distance is far away, and he can't run quickly, it's just a ready-made target......
Lin An didn't continue to cast the spell, he tied up his hands and let the gray figure move towards the center of the lake. There was no love in the dark eyes.
It didn't take long for the wind and snow to gradually obscure the vision, and only the pale gray shadow in the middle of the lake could be seen in the distance, and the sharp ears received a crackling sound and a few struggles, and then looked at the lake, the dark gray shadow had disappeared into the ice.
Chief Franz arrived in a hurry with his soldiers. Behind them were Andre and Chamberlain, and Shiryl was also behind, still protecting several mages and army commanders according to their tasks, and they were not in a hurry, and there was no anxiety on their faces. Apparently confident in her.
"I've already sent him to punishment for the soldier who came back to report the news......" Franz gasped. He has been in contact with Burren recently, and he already knows a little bit of Lin An's background, and his anxiety is not pretending, "How can you leave yourself here!" As he spoke, he walked towards the lake.
"Although it was a bit of an accident. But there is really no danger, the demon has already fallen on its own. Lin An smiled slightly and pointed to the center of the lake, "...... It's a long way away, and there's almost no danger, so I asked him to go back and report it, but I didn't expect it to alarm you. ”
She simply explained the situation, but did not interfere with Franz's decision.
"That being the case. Then the ten scepters will be left to return to the fortress and be punished twice," Franz laughed a little awkwardly.
Getting along with this group of capable people, the two people who put the most pressure on him are Burren and Lin An:
Chamberlain is more or less because of his status. And Lin An is an indescribable pressure, as if there is not a girl in front of him. Rather, it is an adult superior - this difference between the outside and the inside is easy to see for an experienced person.
Her existence has always had an impact on the people around her, and then transformed into an aura and pressure - this is not diminished in the slightest by the fact that she never interferes with his decisions, and she appears to be rational and calm like a standard mage. 「」
"The fact that the demon just now was something that I personally watched emerge from the spatial teleportation, and the fact that there was a demon mage nearby who was proficient in spatial teleportation can already be confirmed. Fortunately, the teleportation technique mastered by the demons has not improved much, and it is still a random teleportation, so the demons we encountered are not assembled, otherwise with their familiarity with the ice field, they will gather together, I am afraid it will cause us a little trouble. But, luck can't stay with us forever......"
Lin An was halfway through his words and turned to Franz, whose faces changed slightly and were a little unnatural.
The soldiers guarding nearby had already distanced themselves from them, and they didn't dare to disturb their conversation, and only Lin An and a few other capable people and Franz and his deputies remained near the circle.
Franz was slightly contemplative, and his eyes swept towards one of his lieutenants.
"Judging from the fact that the demon mages are still teleporting, it is obvious that these teleported demons are still in the assembly stage, and we must immediately send someone to notify the nearby garrison army, just a few of us and we are not familiar with the nearby terrain, so it is very useful on such a large ice field." The deputy said.
The other deputy also nodded repeatedly, and Franz also showed a slight approval.
Lin An looked at it coldly: The adjutant's method seems to be serious, but after careful analysis, it is not difficult to hear the taste of shirk from it.
However, this is just a little speculation on Lin An's part, she doesn't know the situation on the ice field better than these soldiers who have been stationed for a long time, and it is absolutely inappropriate to express her opinion at this time-
She knew the danger of it.
No matter how ignorant he was, Lin An also knew that it was definitely an extremely dangerous thing to let a demon mage infiltrate the rear of the defense line and let him wantonly teleport the enemy over.
What's more, a mage who can use teleportation, even if it is only a low-level teleportation technique, it means that the demon mage is at least equivalent to a formal mage, if there are still some low-level demons around to make meat shields, their small army of eight hundred people, even if they are not dead or disabled, will have to peel off their skins fiercely-
But the point is that for the commanders of the garrison and the defense line, as long as they can drag this demon mage who is proficient in teleportation, even if all the eight hundred troops are sent to death, they will not blink an eye. 「」
Franz said to the others: "Fortunately, the day before, I had already sent someone to the nearby fortress and asked him to inform the chief officer of the garrison legion, the Demon Mage, that he might be haunting the neighborhood...... By the way, I remember that the army of Krant in the nearby fortress was stationed, right? ”
"Yes, with the caution of His Excellency Krant, he will definitely pay attention to the information of the friendly forces, and exclude enough people to verify it, maybe they detected the traces of the demons before we - however, the stakes are high, it is not enough to just notify the nearby garrisons, I think it is necessary for us to march quickly, speed up the journey to bring the news back to Mapei, so that the adults can prepare early." A deputy.
Franz's brows were still deep, his face was contradictory, and the other deputy reassured:
"Your Excellency Crane's character and abilities are trustworthy, and he will definitely be able to delay that demon mage. Besides, now that the smoke is frozen, the storm is raging, and the communication between the fortresses is intermittent, and in terms of the familiarity and safety of the road conditions, our team happens to have the numbers and conditions - even if it were to be chosen by His Excellency Crane, he would definitely hand over the responsibility of reporting to us! ”
The deputy looked loyal and patriotic, and his face was anxious, "It's just that if you go and discuss with Your Excellency Krant slowly, it will inevitably delay the fighter, my lord, without further ado!" ”
After the three of them finished singing, Franz looked hesitant and looked at Brent and Lin An.
Franz will not be unaware of the seriousness of this matter, what he needs is Lin An's "don't know".
Obviously, Franz, the old fox, understood the situation and the crisis they were facing as early as the beginning of the matter, and discussed it with his deputies a long time ago.
The people who informed the nearby garrison had been sent out long before it was determined that the demon mage had survived, and they knew that there would be no affirmative words and tones, otherwise even if the army was not punished, Franz would definitely be charged with delaying the fighter plane and escaping from the battle at the worst.
Franz and the two deputies sang and harmonized, I am afraid that they had been discussed a long time ago, and now it was time for Lin An and them to express their position.
Lin An and Burren exchanged glances, and when they saw that there was thoughtfulness in their eyes but no intention to speak, they knew that because of their identity, she had to come forward to do this bad guy.
"His Excellency Franz is familiar with military affairs and is the commander of the army, and we should obey your orders." Lin An replied, looking like he didn't understand the military and obeyed the assignment.
- In fact, logically speaking, it is normal for mages like them, who live in seclusion and immerse themselves in magic research, to be too young and inexperienced, and to go to the battlefield for the first time.
Franz was used to seeing Lin An's image as a pure mage, so he was not surprised to see Lin An say this. Even if he vaguely knew that this Master An was not simple, but no matter whether she didn't see what she was doing, her current appearance, even if she really reckoned afterwards, was blameless and unspoken.
Lin An's statement can basically represent the statement of the capable.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth and deep pupils, Chamberen gave Franz a look and motioned to speak privately.
Franz thought to himself, after all, he was the future head of the family, and he still had a sense of responsibility, and he would not just know how to shirk when he encountered trouble like ordinary aristocrats.
Chamberlain's actions were just right, even if he could see that he was respectful and did not trust him enough, discussed the matter with his deputy without informing him, and did not express his displeasure, but the eyes behind him were slightly meaningful...... It can be seen that he is quite calm and sophisticated in terms of human feelings.
In fact, if there are not one or two cases of this kind of thing, as long as it is handled properly and does not give people a tail, it will basically not hurt their muscles and bones -- but it will inevitably leave a bad mark in the hearts of others and Shangguan......
After all, no one is a fool, and a veteran who is familiar with military affairs is even less likely.
And Franz just wanted to take the opportunity to see how much Burren valued him: it was rare for the future head of the family to come to his side, and while he was entrusted by the head of the house, he also had to observe the temperament and ability of the future head of the house......
-- The centripetal force among the aristocratic clans is so subtle and difficult to describe, even if he knows human feelings like Lin An, he doesn't see anything, after all, this kind of thing exists in the hearts of the people, and only the parties concerned will have a close experience.
