Chapter 57, Emergencies
In a clearing in the grove.
The leaves and branches fell to the ground, and in addition to the sword marks on the ground, the snow was blown outward by the sword wind.
Sweaty and blood-boiling, Chris broke through the limit, and his strength was condensed into his weapon.
Under the slash of the sword.
The sword marks, which were originally only tens of centimeters, suddenly became three inches deep and four or five meters long!
"This is the breakthrough to the Black Iron Rank Transcendental?"
"It's so weak. β
Looking at Chris below, sensing that he had broken through, but was not much stronger than ordinary people, Andrew suddenly had a disgusted face.
When the few people landed, they flew back to continue meditating.
Accustomed to Andrew's eyes, Langton walked towards Chris, who was smiling, and among so many of them, there was finally a normal transcendent, or his own cheap big brother, he was really very happy.
"How does it feel?"
Seeing Lan Don coming, the excited Chris was still enthusiastic: "I feel that I am full of strength now, and I can't use up my strength!"
Dowling, Anne, Tithuba, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly came over to say hello.
Seeing Chris's breakthrough, Sauron finally understood why he hadn't made much progress in teaching Langton and Dowling their exercises.
Because his body is different from ordinary people's bodies!
Speaking of joy, Chris answered Dowling's question about the breakthrough, and then told him all about what he had just felt.
For the situation of blood boiling, everyone can see it without him.
However, after listening to the whole process of the breakthrough, everyone gained a lot.
It wasn't long before Tywin arrived with a large army.
For Chris's breakthrough, as a commander, because of the force value of this world, Tywin attaches great importance to it, and solemnly rejoices when they meet, and then announces this matter to all the soldiers, and then promotes Chris to the official deputy commander!
After all, the scouts of the enemy were discovered.
After Tywin's announcement, the group did not stay in the woods for long.
As the official deputy commander, Chris immediately got into the groove and took Tywin more seriously to help manage the soldiers and troops.
Return to Sauron.
Langton asked, "Did you see anything today?"
"Yes. Sauron nodded: "Quite a bit." β
Hearing this, Langton's face was immediately full of curiosity.
Sauron said: "My body is different from yours, so there are many problems that I haven't noticed before. β
"After Chris's breakthrough today. β
"I finally understand what the transcendent power of the warrior transcendent is all about. β
"It's the power of blood!"
"To become a transcendent is to activate the power of the blood in the body when you break through the limits of the human body. β
Hearing this, Lan Dun suddenly frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Ordinary people also have special bloodlines?"
Sauron: "No, you don't need a special bloodline to activate the power of the bloodline. β
"Instead, it absorbs the energy between heaven and earth, so as to strengthen and activate one's own bloodline, so that ordinary people can use energy to burst out of the bloodline through energy, and then they can transform into transcendental!"
"The energy of heaven and earth?"
"Is it an element?"
Langton thought for a moment and wanted to understand exactly these questions: "Prompt the blood to burst with the energy that life already has......
Is it life energy?"
"Life energy?" Sauron nodded and said, "This is a good description, as for absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, in fact, it is not only the elements, but all the energy!"
Hearing this, Langton thought about it, and suddenly felt that the transcendent absorbed all the energy between heaven and earth, just like plants absorbed nutrients such as sunlight, air, and water.
It's just that plants are wild and grow.
And the human beings who cultivate will become extraordinary because of the absorption of energy!
But thinking of the breakthrough method that Sauron had said before, he suddenly frowned: "I have the blood of the god of twisting and desire in my body, this method of absorbing energy to promote the transformation of life beyond the limit...... Does it help me?"
Hearing this, SΓΈren paused slightly: "Theoretically helpful. β
"However, this help is minimal. β
β......β
Having said so much, it has nothing to do with me, Langton is speechless!
Sauron said in a deep voice, "I can teach more people to break through to transcendence. β
β......β
Everyone else can break through, I can only watch?
Langton didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Actually, don't look at Sauron has always been very honest and behaved normally, without any evil deeds, and without doing anything harmful.
But he's a good deceitful!
Those with a criminal record!
He deceived the elves, dwarves, and humans to create the elven three rings, the dwarf seven rings, and the human nine rings!
If it weren't for the success of the One Ring in the end, it would have been carried away and exposed.
This fraudster has ruled Middle-earth with the help of twenty rings!
So.
Langton was mostly skeptical of his words.
Surrounded by treacherous and cunning, despicable and insidious, calculating villains, who have brains and don't use to think, they will definitely be deceived!
Saw Chris's breakthrough with his own eyes.
Even if there was divine blood in his body, the situation was different from that of ordinary people, and he also had a guess......
......
Capture the scouts of the Elba family.
Tywin has not yet been interrogated.
But without trial, everyone can guess what their actions and plans will be.
Moreover, now that the Clay Golem is in charge of the battle, the soldiers are very keen on interrogating situations where they can still get meritorious deeds without having to fight hard.
It didn't take long for the scouts, who had been interrogated separately, to tell the story of the Elba family.
Unlike Craig, Rodriguez, Machiavelli, Camoranesi, Forlie, Lefebble.
Half of Erba's territory belongs to the central region of the Northlands, and there are many guards in force.
The military is also stronger!
Under the attack of monsters and undead, except for a large number of civilian deaths, the troops are relatively intact.
At night, the marching troops stopped.
to rest in an uninhabited village.
As winter descends on the land, the snow falls even heavier.
The Earth Golem is the best soldier to use, dutifully guarding its post no matter how cold the weather is, how strong the wind is, or how heavy the snow is.
With them, ordinary soldiers simply had to take turns observing the situation around the campfire.
Andrew was busy meditating and cultivating, and was unwilling to brave the snow to reconnoiter the surrounding situation for everyone, and Sauron rode out on a bear, but he did not fly in the sky to see so comprehensively.
It is believed that such a snowy day will not be attacked by the enemy.
I also felt that the enemy would not brave the heavy snow to attack, and the strong strength and successive victories made everyone a little relaxed.
However.
Northlanders have lived here for thousands of years!
They have long been accustomed to the bitter cold.
For foreign enemies, the Northland warriors are most accustomed to dragging out the war until winter, and then attacking in the ice and snow in the best way!
There is no need to contact the Lefebble family to discover the enemies who are heading west.
The Elba family knew that war was inevitable, and in order to stabilize the rule of the Duchess of Theron and ensure their own interests.
They chose to take the initiative!
Because, sheltered by wind, snow and severe cold, the brave will win!
"Whew~"
The north wind was howling.
Under the heavy snowfall of the night, people do not have much visibility.
In the village, the soldiers standing beside the campfire, standing behind the dirt golem to take shelter from the wind, are standing guard and keeping vigil in boredom.
"Rumble~"
There was a faint sound in the wind.
The weather was too cold, and the soldier who stood a little stiff was stunned and a little slow to react, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately issued a warning and blew the horn!
"Enemy attack!"
"The cavalry is coming!"
"Woo~"
Sauron, Tywin, Chris, Lanton, and the others immediately left the warm farmhouse and tent.
"In what direction is the enemy?"
Hearing the question of the deputy commander Chris, the soldiers on the night vigil could not answer for a while, and the soldiers looked at each other, they recognized the sound of the horse's hooves running horses, but because the wind and snow obscured their vision, they could not determine the direction of the enemy.
"Rumble~"
"That's not right!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from all directions, and Tywin frowned, "According to the intelligence, the Elba family closest to us doesn't have so many soldiers. β
Thinking that anything could happen, Langton speculated: "Could it be that all the territories near Lefebble have sent troops?"
The number of enemies is not terrible.
What worries people is that the enemy has brought a lot of magic scrolls.
Dowling: "That's not good news. β
Tywin, Sauron, and Chris all assembled their soldiers and ordered the Earth Golem to prepare to defend themselves against enemy attacks.
I had never seen this kind of scene, and the little girl Carrie was a little nervous.
Anne and Tituba, as witches, one scheming and the other cunning, had become accustomed to this kind of war, and stood beside Langton in a low-key manner with a crossbow and dagger.
Andrew used his telekinesis to fly into the air.
Also because of the wind and snow, no enemy was found in the dark night.
Sauron thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we take the initiative?"
Tywin shook his head, "No, the situation is unknown, don't act rashly, don't forget that the enemy will carry a magic scroll." β
Langton agreed with the old lion's caution, but was equally puzzled.
"It stands to reason that the territories around Lefebble didn't get all the news so quickly, and then converged to deal with us. β
"The reason for the sound of horses' hooves is more than one, could it be that the enemy is suspicious?"
Sauron: "Possibly. β
It is not pleasant to stand under the cold winter wind and snow at night, the transcendent can endure it, but the state of ordinary soldiers will definitely decline, Langton is worried: "My lord, we can't stand in the wind and snow all the time. β
Chris shook his head: "Gabbri, the fighters are not as fragile as you think. β
"That's right, Northland was born in the bitter cold and sheltered by wind and snow!"
"The men of the Northland are not afraid of the cold winter!"
"The wind is shouting for me!"
Hearing this, the soldiers shouted to boost their morale.
As a weak son-in-law, Lan Don, who just wants to hide under the covers and can't stand the wind and snow, really ignores the talent of the Northlanders.
"Rumble~"
The sound of horses' hooves in all directions was closer.
Andrew in mid-air, with his eagle eye, saw some figures in the east of the village, and he flew over without saying a word.
The soldier galloping on horseback belonged to the Elba family.
Because the territory of Erba belongs to the same terrain as Lefeble, it is a flat terrain, so it is very destined to raise horses, and even the castle backyard is not wanted, all used to build horse sheds.
Therefore, the Erba family raises twice as many cavalry as other families!
Most of the Northland nobles have dragon scale charms.
Although many people don't know what it does, the talisman is generally stored in the castle where they live, so the war horses of the Elba family have not disappeared too much in the mist, and they can still organize a team of five hundred horsemen!
Langton: They heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from all directions.
It's the Elba family, five cavalry teams running around to set up suspicious formations and lure enemies out of the village!
The wilderness is always the home of the cavalry.
Andrew flew out.
Langton and Tywin felt that he would fall into the enemy's trap by doing so, but considering that his telekinesis was not affected by the Forbidden Demon Emblem, and that he could still fly even if he lost his ability to cast spells, they put away their worries and waited quietly for him to bring back news.
However.
Andrew spotted the enemy, and before he could get closer, he was attacked by magic.
After receiving news from Eric, the captain of the hundreds, Elba's family knew that the enemy had a powerful mage who could fly and was proficient in the hand of a mage, and that the two mages could not be affected by the forbidden demons.
For this purpose, they specially prepared a magic scroll to deal with Andrew.
After all, he practiced Eagle Eye.
Seeing the magical glow in the night, Andrew knew that the enemy had discovered him, and hurriedly used the shield scroll he had brought with him.
Thunder and fire illuminate the wilderness under the dark and snowy night.
Seeing this, the hundreds of cavalry of the Elba family turned their horses and fled, not at all wanting to confront this powerful young mage.
Hit by magic.
Although there is a shield and no injuries, Andrew will not let the enemy go like this.
"You can't run!"
"Suffer death!"
While flying, Andrew unleashed a fire-summoning spell on the cavalry on the ground. But both sides were moving at high speed, and the cavalry captain was still carrying a magic scroll, which was not so easy to be born suddenly, but he could not move, and he could not be burned to death by their spells.
On the roof of the village's farmhouse, Sauron saw the light of a fire in the snowy night.
Because the distance was too far, I couldn't feel Andrew's magic, but I also guessed that he was fighting with the enemy.
Jumping to the ground, he said helplessly: "Andrew has been tricked." β
"He has been led away by the enemy cavalry. β
Langton understood: "So, the enemy wants to separate our main combat forces. β
Tywin pondered, "We're not going to get out easily, what are they going to do next? Attack directly, or lure them again?"
Langton said: "They are cavalry, and they will not rush directly into the village. β
"But it's possible to trick us out in a fraudulent way. β
"Defeat?" Tywin's face was cloudy, "Attack first, then pretend to be defeated, and use escape to absorb our pursuit?"
Langton: "I'm afraid that the enemy will harass us with cavalry, and then drag us down. β
"No matter how cold the fighters are, they can't fight all night in the snow. β
Tywin: "Then take the initiative." β
"We have clay golems, and we are not afraid of cavalry onslaught in battle formations. β
"Get ready for the magic scroll and the Forbidden Badge. β
"The whole army listens to the order, the contradictions form an array, the crossbowman winds up, and moves forward slowly!"
Chris rode to the front of the soldiers, behind the queue of dirt golems, drew his sword and raised it high: "Attack!"
"Forward!"
Soldiers armed with spears, shields clenched, and crossbows roared in response, moving slowly step by step, from the entrance of the village into the snow-covered field.
