Chapter 73, the Great War is about to begin
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the blizzard is approaching again.
In the woods, inside a nondescript hunter's hut.
Talia, who was resting, suddenly heard a slight sound outside the house where the wind was howling, and immediately opened his eyes vigilantly.
The campfire outside crackled.
The firelight flickered.
With a killer's sixth sense, Talia knows full well that the night was not peaceful.
Without asking the knight of the night watch outside the house, she quietly drew her sword.
The perceptive Artemisia immediately woke up and asked in a low voice, "Something is wrong?"
Talia shook her head: "I was about to go out and have a look." With that, he moved like a civet cat, climbed the beam of the wooden house with his sword, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Hearing this, Artemisia did not close her eyes and rest again.
Instead, wait for Talia to determine the situation.
Isabella, who had been trained to be vigilant, also woke up, and looked at Artemisia beside her suspiciously, as well as where Talia was resting.
"Jingle Bell~"
Then.
There was a subtle, but crisp chime outside.
"If something happens, get up!"
Before going to bed, Talia specially arranged a bell outside as a warning, the wind did not blow, and the rope would not make a sound until it was touched.
The people in Totti received news that Ravenna Theron was trying to move all the people to Port Stuart, which led to a rebellion, and that Black Rock Fort was breached by Tywin Lannister, and learned the origin of the old lion from Rams.
Talia and Artemisia immediately took Isabella on their way to the capital of the Northlands.
The appearance of Isabella Stuart, the news came in the Totti collar in a blink of an eye, giving confidence to the local people, and also leaking to Ravenna Theron!
So, not long after they left Totti, they encountered enemy scouts.
It's the same as before.
If you can kill, you will kill, and if you can't, you will hide.
Now entering the central region, it is not far from the Black Rock Mountain where the Black Rock Fort is located, and there are more and more enemy scouts.
The cautious Talia and Artemisia will not be negligent.
In the woods at night.
Hundreds of soldiers quietly stalked and approached the hut.
In front of a campfire burning outside the cabin.
The soldiers on the night watch, hearing the bell, drew their swords vigilantly and gently knocked on the door of the wooden house behind them, reminding everyone to keep their eyes on the darkness and watch out for the impending enemy.
"They found out!"
"Up!"
In the darkness, the enemy, who tried to sneak close to the wooden house, saw the soldiers of the night watch around the campfire draw their swords and immediately choose to attack.
"Kill~"
"Ah~"
The cold light flashed, and a phantom spirit cat leaped down from the tree, and then went on a killing spree!
In the face of Sen Leng Long Sword, ordinary people could not resist.
But there are transcendents among them who can contend with it!
"Stinky girl's cousin, stop me!"
"Zheng~"
"Choking~"
"Ding Ding~"
Gold and iron strike, sparks fly, and the judgment is made!
Talia is stronger than ordinary people, and the Black Iron Rank is not an opponent, but even stronger than the ordinary Bronze Rank!
The human head flew up and rolled to the ground in the darkness.
A companion was found to have been killed.
Everyone knew that the sneak attacker was sharp, and then they roared and roared, choosing to rely on the numerical advantage to besiege!
"Get out!"
Encounters with enemies, attacks, sudden accidents, Talia and Artemisia they are used to.
In the face of the enemy, everyone in the wooden house immediately grabbed their weapons and came out.
Nothing can be seen clearly in the dark environment.
Matthias Totti, Samson Gother, Dwarf Dodd and others immediately lit torches and threw some of them out to light them in order to determine the location of the enemy and determine the number of enemies.
"Support Talia!"
The enemy was outnumbered, and Artemisia immediately rushed over with men to help, allowing the sword to appear in the light of the torches.
"Don't get stuck with them!"
"Kill it!"
With the support of Artemisia, Matthias Totti, and Dwarf Dodd, the pressure on Talia's side was greatly reduced, and several Black Iron Rank Transcendents were eliminated with a swing of his sword.
"Huh~"
A faint green light flickered from the darkness.
The brave Samson Gother was killing his enemies with one enemy and ten enemies, when the dark green light suddenly flew in, and he was hit before he could react, and then fell to the ground weakly!
"Samson!"
Seeing his friend fall suddenly, Matthias hurriedly swung his sword and rushed over to repel the enemy, wanting to check on his injuries.
However.
A black shadow that was more than two meters tall and as unstoppable as a bull brandished a big sword and rushed quickly.
Sen Leng sword wind blows!
The blade is approaching.
Matthias broke out in a cold sweat and immediately burst out to raise his sword with all his might.
"Zheng~"
With the clash of gold and iron, Matthias blocked the deadly sword, but took a few steps back and stumbled and fell.
Seeing this, the soldiers around wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
However, Artemisia and Talia moved and killed several enemies in the blink of an eye, and then dragged Matthias back to the crowd.
At this time, by the torches that fell to the ground.
Talia and Artemisia finally saw the tall attacker, and a young man slowly walked in the direction where the green light was flying.
"Magic Mountain!"
"Tom Riddle!"
"It's you!"
Rams, who wielded the bow, exclaimed.
In a short period of time, Talia and the others have killed hundreds of enemies and eliminated one-third of the enemy transcendentals!
In the face of such a sharp master, even if there were many people, seeing nearly a hundred people killed, seeing that Talia and they stopped, the soldiers did not dare to attack rashly, and they had to wait for the strong man specially sent by the duchess to solve it.
"Guys, long time no see. ”
The dim light of the fire reveals Tom Riddle's true face.
Looking at the expressionless young wizard, listening to his words without a hint of fluctuating tone, Talia's brows furrowed.
Artemisia: "I heard you've taken refuge with Lady Theron. ”
Tom Riddle glanced at the crowd and didn't answer.
Artemisia sneered: "Why don't you speak, do you feel embarrassed to take refuge in others?"
"After all, you used to be a big man. ”
Rams shook his head and said, "He's being controlled." ”
"And what about you?" Isabella immediately turned her head to look at him warily, not having a good look at the little skinning that had chased her.
Rams: "The Duchess doesn't look down on me. ”
Compared to Tom Riddle, the wizard, Talia felt more dangerous for the silent big guy: "Magic Mountain, why don't you speak?"
"Dumb?"
Hearing this, Tom, who was expressionless, hooked the corners of his mouth.
"He's not going to be dumb. ”
"It's dead. ”
"Dead?" Artemisia frowned, "Isn't he standing here in a good manner?"
Talia's face showed a sudden look, and he understood why he felt that the Demon Mountain was more dangerous: "You used necromancy on him!"
Cobain's necromancy was originally used to transform the corpse of the Demon Mountain.
Once, when he got this evil spell, Tom couldn't wait to study it, and now it is a matter of course to make the Magic Mountain not a human or a ghost.
Tom, who heard this, didn't answer but said lightly: "Surrender, hand over the people, I can let you live." ”
Artemisia sneered, "Do we seem to be the ones who will be tied up?"
As an Assassin, Talia knew very well that Tom Riddle was a ruthless Dark Lord with the strength to crush them all.
So why give up the big advantage?
Don't......
With a flash of thought, Talia quickly took out the Forbidden Demon Badge that Isabella had given her to use.
"Kill!"
Tom hurriedly raised his hand to attack, but he couldn't cast a spell, and when he got the order, the magic mountain charged like a bull, and the unstoppable big sword in his hand brought a violent wind!
The young mage did not move, and the soldiers hesitated slightly, but still besieged it.
"I'm blocking the Magic Mountain!"
"You break through!"
Protecting Isabella, Talia faced the Magic Mountain, and Artemisia and Matthias did their best to deal with the enemy.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng~"
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
"Puff~"
"Ah~"
The Totti family's castle has been replenished, but the enemy is still several times outnumbered, and there are many transcendents.
By entangled in the Magic Mountain, Talia would not be able to destroy more transcendents in her own right.
Surrounded by a lack of sharp edges, everyone couldn't break through.
Tom stood quietly in the forbidden area, not moving, watching the fierce battle with cold eyes, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
The soldiers would not be able to destroy Artemisia, Matthias, Rams, Dodd and others for a while, nor would they be able to capture Isabella, and they would not be able to rush out when they were encircled, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The side with the largest number of people has a greater advantage.
If they continue to fight like this, their physical strength will be lost, and even if Talia and Artemisia break out, they will not be able to get rid of their pursuers.
"Miss Isabella, the Duchess really misses you. ”
"After being away from home for so long, it's time to go home. ”
"Otherwise, they will all be buried for your willfulness!"
Under the influence of the forbidden demon and can't cast spells, Tom still doesn't move, without the slightest intention of making a move, only letting the soldiers use their lives to consume Talia's physical strength, at most saying a few words of heart-attacking nonsense, which is completely releasing water!
Isabella snorted coldly: "I'll go back!"
"But it won't be surrender, it won't be captured, it's going to be killed to avenge my father and brother!"
The torches that fell to the ground were blown by the wind, and they looked like they were about to be extinguished.
The faint light of the fire made the woods almost dark, and the stalemate began to become chaotic, and more and more of Matthias's warriors fell.
Although there are more kills and damage to enemies.
But there are few of them.
It can't stand such consumption.
Unable to rush out, they found that there were fewer and fewer warriors around them, and the enemy transcendents no longer fought with their lives, but instead grappling, and in the face of a bad situation, everyone suddenly became anxious.
"Everybody follow me!"
Taking out the family's treasured potion and drinking it, Matthias's blood boiled, white gas bubbled, his eyes turned red, and his strength was raised to the silver level.
Trade your future for your life!
"Rush!"
Matthias's momentum changed suddenly, and many Black Iron Rank Transcendents retreated decisively, attacking Artemisia and Dwarf Dodd instead, letting most of the Bronze Rank hold him back.
In the crowd, Rams, who was two-faced and three-stabbed, also paddled with a bow and arrow.
Feather arrows don't kill you!
I also plan to catch Isabella and make meritorious deeds!
Tom also set his sights on the little peel.
Here's your chance.
Perceiving the Dark Lord's gaze, Rams knew that he would soon be able to cooperate and snatch Isabella, who was being guarded by the dwarves.
However.
A dark shadow flew by.
In the flicker of the sword light, the bronze rank transcendents who were dragging Matthias suddenly fell to the ground.
An invisible force erupts.
The transcendents who entangled Artemisia staggered backwards, and the weaker ones couldn't stand, and they rolled to the ground in embarrassment.
"Who are you?"
A samurai dressed in black wields his sword at will.
The Black Iron Rank Transcendents who fell to the ground, as well as many ordinary soldiers, took their lives to Cold Light.
Perceive the special energy mastered by the Black Knight.
Tom, who watched the battle with cold eyes, released water to Talia and Artemisia, and was ready to cooperate with the little skinning and snatching people, suddenly showed a trace of solemnity on his face.
Although with the help of this person.
But Matthias frowned at this, as if he didn't know him, and Artemisia was wary of the Black Knights of unknown origin.
"Don't get too close to us!"
Sensing Artemisia's wariness of him, the Black Knight didn't care, and while wielding his long sword to kill the enemy, he said, "My name is Darth Vader, and I'm from Black Rock Castle. ”
"Black Rock Castle?" Artemisia narrowed her eyes, "Tywin Lannister's people?"
Darth Vader nodded, "I know Gabbri. ”
Hearing this, Artemisia's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How many of you came?"
The Black Warrior calmly walked between the enemies: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm the only one." ”
"You're the only one?"
Hearing this, Artemisia knew that they could not destroy the enemy, so they could only continue to flee.
So he said decisively: "Please deal with that big guy, we have to break through!"
"Leave it to me. ”
With a flash of sword light, the cold blade in Darth Vader's hand immediately attacked the huge, heavily armored, and sword-wielding Demon Mountain.
The blade passed, and the armor was sliced open.
But the Magic Mountain was not affected in the slightest!
Seeing that the black warrior paused because of his doubtful movements, Talia hurriedly reminded: "He is not human, don't be careless!"
"Not human?"
Having seen the Clay Golem, the Sombra Soldiers, the Witches, the Witches, the Superpowers, and the Sauron, who had only one suit of armor and no mortal body, Darth Vader was not surprised by the unkillable, and attacked the joints in a fighting manner with a single step!
But.
The kneecap was cut off, and the magic mountain just knelt down, and then slowly stood up again!
If the joint is broken, it can be recovered!
In response, the Black Warrior frowned, condensing the Force and releasing lightning.
"Crackling~"
The electric light lit up the pitch black surroundings for a moment.
The tall magic mountain fell to the ground in smoke.
The soldiers attacked, and they were all afraid to approach the mysterious black knight.
Seeing this, Tom's face showed a look of consternation, he knew the power of the Forbidden Demon Badge, and understood that that thing was the mage nemesis, and now he was affected and could not cast any spells.
"You can even use spells?"
"Spells?"
"Nope. Darth Vader spotted the young man standing still surrounded by enemy soldiers, shook his head and said, "Force lightning is not a spell. ”
"Force Lightning?"
Tom was immediately interested and wanted to do some research: "Can you elaborate on that?"
The Black Knight shook his head: "Now is not the time. ”
Hearing this, Tom didn't say anything more, but looked at the magic mountain standing up in smoke, and continued to fight fiercely with the audience coldly.
It wasn't killed by the Force lightning, but the magic mountain's movements became much slower.
Apparently injured!
Seeing this, Tom ordered the Demon Mountain, which is not really immortal, to be careful, after all, it is not easy to transform the necromancy, it has only succeeded once in such a long time, and more research will be carried out in the future, and the test sample cannot be consumed like this.
Thereupon.
Under the Dark Lord's deliberate release.
Talia and Darth Vader immediately seized the opportunity to break through!
...... To be continued......
I've been hearing a lot of things like life is precious lately......
I understand that.
There are many misfortunes in this world, and I am undoubtedly lucky compared to those people.
However, I feel that I have become empty, as if I have entered the state of a sage, but I can't return to normal, maybe I have truly achieved no desire and no desire, maybe I don't, and I don't know what is going on in my own thoughts.
To face life is to set goals.
Then the mechanical completion ......
