Chapter 293: Untitled (2)
(Copy the top of the chapter, correct it tomorrow)
A violent hailstorm hit the forward queue, but fortunately they had retreated far enough, and most of them had raised their shields, so they didn't suffer much damage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The flame spider's self-explosion blew a gap eight or nine meters wide in the ice wall, and it was conceivable that the giant spiders were about to attack through the gap.
Unas threw Colfax at a priest and rushed forward with his sword raised and shouted, "Follow me, plug the gap!" ā
The nine-meter-wide gap was enough for two or three giant spiders to run side by side, and the spider swarm also swarmed up, and the two sides collided fiercely in the gap!
The bravest warriors gathered around Unas, whether they were human elven orcs or troll ogres, there was no race at this moment, all fighting for victory.
The seventeen orc warriors all went berserk, the muscles of their bodies swelled to make them look taller and stronger, and their skin turned from green to red, and they lost their sense of pain and fear, and they moved forward, even surpassing the unas at the front, this was not the result of his use of mental manipulation, but the orcs stimulated their own bloodthirsty instincts.
Nightmoon and Pereira carefully jumped onto the intact ice walls on both sides with the Elven Ranger troops, broke some ice spikes to gain a foothold on the wall, and then frantically unleashed arrows and javelins at the spider swarm outside the wall.
The tall bodies of ogres and trolls stuck in front of the gap, and no spider could pass through the wall of flesh.
Unas was a little powerless because of the huge energy consumption of flying two laps in the sky, but it was not dangerous, Raphael and his personal guards were always by his side, but he gradually fell behind, and could only find an opportunity to pick up the leaks.
After level 30, killing a giant spider by hand (not counting the boss level) gives an average of 4% experience, and only 1% if you kill it by rubbing the team, and his current experience is 37%, and you need to kill sixteen giant spiders by yourself to level up and recover your state.
With such a fierce battle, it is impossible to order others to leave the final blow to him, it can only be relied on luck.
After rubbing more than a dozen 1% and slaughtering the three-headed spider with his own hands, the battle situation took a turn again, and the Overlord Spider team reappeared and plunged straight into the ass of the spider group.
The blow to the spider swarm was fatal, with the stubborn alien enemies who had invaded their homeland and could not penetrate them, and the betrayed overlords of the same race, whose will to resist melted as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.
It turned out that after Rose Byrne and Hex guided the spider group to split, they found a place to hide for a while and then turned back, and when they saw the scene of the fierce battle between the two sides, of course they had to step forward to help, but they didn't expect it to have a decisive effect.
The remaining thirty or so giant spiders of the swarm began to crumble, and more and more spiders chose to retreat, scatter, and flee, and Unas immediately sent a signal to the wall to retreat, and the cavalry of Jossen and Lient rushed out of the gap in the ice wall.
"Only three kilometers of pursuit!" Unas shouted orders to the two of them, he didn't want to go too far and provoke the cobs to regroup.
The cavalry that charged at high speed was a nightmare for any crasher, and the giant spiders who didn't have time to escape were immediately scattered and divided, killing them one by one, only a small half escaped, but they still had to face a three-kilometer pursuit.
Unas stood with his sword on his sword and let out a deep breath, the adventurous battle finally ended.
It wasn't until the cavalry dragged the corpses of five or six spiders back into the distance that Unas's hanging heart was completely relaxed.
Hex rode back with the puppet spider and followed the cavalry, and Unas praised him a few words and said, "You and Rose work harder, continue to investigate in the canyon, what's wrong with contacting me with the necromancer's skull." ā
The troll nodded in obedience, then worriedly, "After this battle, the spiders may see me and Miss Solar's Overlord Spider as enemies, and the split tactics may not be any better." ā
"I see, you go first."
After sending away the trolls, Unas ordered the gnolls and kobolds to quickly clean up the battlefield outside the ice wall, and the whole army retreated again, and then used earth and stones to plug the gap tightly, and he was a little relieved.
In the final analysis, this victory is only against the spiders that inhabit within a short period of eight kilometers, the total length of the canyon is seventy or eighty kilometers, and the forest after it is even more vast, and there are countless spiders surviving in it, and we must not relax our vigilance because of this small victory.
Before I knew it, the warm autumn sun shone on the ice wall, reflecting a rainbow light, but there was no sign of melting, and according to Archmage Angela, her arcane ice wall could last at least three days in this temperature.
The mages should be able to recover their mana in 24 hours, and if the ice wall is about to melt, of course, they can ask her to reinforce it again, but Angela also has her own things to do, and Unas plans to build an earthen wall to come out.
After destroying more than 100 giant spiders, enough for the whole army to eat several spider meat feasts, and after eating a hearty lunch, Unas immediately began to assign tasks, arranging people to guard, digging trenches, building earth walls, disposing of spider corpses, transporting the wounded back to the stronghold, etc., and there were a lot of things after the war.
The giant spider is a treasure, the silk sac of the silk spider can be collected to make dozens of sets of the toughest and elastic clothes, the shell of the iron spider is light and strong, and all kinds of venom used to be a very popular commodity, but now there is no market, but it must also be stored, the legs of the knife spider are good weapons with a little processing, and even the teeth and eyes of some spiders are also precious alchemy materials.
Unas ordered kobolds and gnolls to transport spider carcasses back to the stronghold, where a large number of the elderly, the sick and the disabled could help dispose of the corpses.
The heavy work of digging trenches and earthen walls naturally fell on the orc trolls and ogres, and of course the garrison officers would not treat them badly, and the spider meat and all kinds of dry food were all in charge.
The casualty report came up very quickly, Unas glanced at it, the human casualties were the smallest, only 13 people were killed on the spot, and a total of thirty-five were seriously injured, with the field priest team led by Whitemayne, the wounded should be able to save their lives.
Orcs and gnolls were the worst, with more than a third of the casualties, and the orcs were on the front line, which is understandable, but almost half of the gnolls' attrition was hacked to death by the ogres who watched them because of cowardice.
Unas really wanted to destroy these wastes humanely, but he couldn't find a reason, so he had to raise them as coolie cannon fodder first, and find an opportunity to sacrifice them all one day.
Eighty percent of the total casualties were caused in the battle with the spider swarm after the ice wall was blown open, so it seems that their own side is not enough to confront the giant spiders head-on, and they must create all kinds of favorable conditions to deal with these beasts in the future.
Unas was thinking about his future tactics, the familiar scent of incense wafted from behind him, and when he turned around, a sweaty and tired Whitemane was standing behind him.
"Follow me." The silver-haired female pastor turned around and left, very lame.
Unas was still a little distressed about this woman who was tired of treating the wounded, but now he almost kicked her writhing ****, what kind of attitude! It simply ignores the majesty of this official as nothing.
He didn't move a single step and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" ā
"There's a seriously wounded man who only you can save."
Saying this, Unas also understood, it turned out to be a matter of resurrection, and he had promised others before, but now he could only follow helplessly.
The two came to the rear of the troops, the temporary field hospital was located in this small wood, most of the wounded with minor injuries were already on the way back, only a dozen seriously wounded people who were in serious condition and could not move were lying on the grass bunks, half of them were orcs, several priests were performing healing techniques, and one of them was a very familiar figure, Natasha under the pseudonym Namelia.
Unas stepped forward to say hello to her, Natasha was still wearing a veil, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, asked about the situation, and was slightly relieved to hear that the situation of the people lying here had stabilized, and Whitemane stood in front of the only tent and coughed impatiently, urging: "Lord Unas, please hurry!" ā
Unas deliberately said goodbye to Natasha intimately, and I don't know if it aroused Whitemayne's jealousy, anyway, the flame in the woman's eyes burned more and more.
Entering the small tent, a nearly mummified human man lay on a black marching blanket, his chest seemingly heaving slightly, and Unas stretched out two fingers to probe his neck.
"No need to try, he's still alive," explained the silver-haired priestess, "but he's going to die, and the wound in his heart is too deep for me to recover." ā
What she meant was that Unas understood that when the soldier was dead, he would perform the resurrection spell, and Whitemayne would be able to observe and learn from the sidelines.
"Are you sure you can't get it back?" With a history of buying death row inmates for experiments last time, Unas didn't have much hope for her lower limit, and it would be too unethical for her to die if she didn't save her because she was trying to learn resurrection.
The last prison escape incident taught Unas a lesson, and the matter about this woman should be handled according to regular means, so as not to cause a bunch of trouble afterwards.
"I'm the chief healing pastor here, and I said no one could revive him if he died!" The silver-haired priestess was furious at Unas's suspicious eyes, but she kept her voice down and shouted.
"You're human too, and human beings make mistakes," Unas's tone was calm, "I'm going to check with Nemelia." ā
"Whatever you want," Whitemayne snorted coldly, still unable to help asking, "Who is that woman of unknown origin?" I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ā
The monastery is so big, and both of them are priests, they must have been photographed before, and Natasha's wanted warrants are also hanging everywhere, but Unas will not give Whitemayne any hints, and began to make up nonsense in order to change the topic: "You are always prejudiced against people because of your identity, so you can never think of learning resurrection, do you know why the resurrection of the paladin is named?" It's 'salvation', and without the light of the Holy Light for all equal beings, the heart of salvation will not be useful no matter how many times I see my spells. ā
After a flicker, Unas almost believed himself, and then looked at Whitemayne's bewildered expression, it seemed that he was really fooled.
Unas secretly laughed to himself: It seems that it is not impossible to trick this woman into bed in the name of the Holy Light!
But Whitemayne quickly reacted and began personal attacks: "What redemption do you have?" You're just a war maniac who only knows how to kill! ā
"I started the war to save more of my own people," Unas quibbled, "and now it's your problem, what's the use of you accusing me." ā
"And what about the dying man in front of us now? And so many people who died in battle? Aren't they the ones you want to save? ā
"It is the duty of soldiers to fight, and they do not die in vain, but to die for victory and our common cause is the most glorious part of it." Unas tried to reason with the woman.
"Really? How do you know they'll think it's an honor to die under those ugly spider claws? ā
"Your words seem to imply that I killed them, this is the most serious accusation against a military commander, I hope you think it through!"
"I ......"
A dry cough interrupted Whitemayne, who wanted to continue the debate, and the mummy lying on the ground, who was seriously injured and dying, was actually woken up by their quarrel, and his eyes exposed in the bandages looked at the two of them with a sparkle of light, not at all like a dying man, this is probably the legendary return to the light?
"I volunteered to fight," he seemed to hear a little of the quarrel between the two of them, and was completely on Unas's side, "the natural disaster has destroyed my home, and Lord Unas wants to fight for a new home for us, for which I have no regrets." ā
Whitemane's face turned blue, and it didn't feel good to be slapped in the face in an instant, Unas ignored her, squatted down and comforted: "You won't die, sleep well, I promise you will be a hundred times more energetic tomorrow." ā
The mummy felt the pain coming from all over his body, especially in his heart, and decided that it was just a white lie from the garrison, "Lord Unas, you have always fought on the front line to make you a hero in the hearts of all our soldiers, and I have one thing I want to ask you. ā
This is the rhythm of explaining the aftermath, and Unas is inconvenient to explain to him, so he has to take advantage of the situation and say: "What do you say?" ā
Tears appeared in the soldier's eyes, and his voice became weak, "My pregnant wife is still waiting for me in the convent, and I hope you can help take care of them in the future." ā
"No problem at all," Unas agreed, "what's your name?" ā
"Moll Addley."
Unas put his hand on his forehead and stroked it, "Okay, Moore, close your eyes and sleep, don't worry, I won't let your child be born without a father." ā
He didn't have Cao Cao's idea of "your wife and I will support yourself", so he could only pray in his heart that the resurrection technique would be successful.
Moore's breathing became weaker and weaker, and soon his heart stopped beating, and Unas immediately began to cast a spell, since the longer he died, the lower the success rate of the resurrection spell, so the faster he cast the spell, the higher the success rate.
A slightly cold touch came from his hand one after another, and Unas narrowed his eyes to see that it was Whitemane who reached out and grabbed both of his wrists to feel the flow of his divine energy as he performed the resurrection.
The silver-haired priestess immediately sensed that there was something wrong with Unas's left hand, not only because of the changes brought about by the residual evil energy, but also because of the existence of an abrupt unknown shadow (Shadow Demon), she glanced at Unas in surprise, and did not dare to interrupt the spell casting, so she did not say a word, but her heart was already full of suspicions.
Since the subject was a seriously injured person, the resurrection technique consumed a long amount of energy and time, and the moment the light dissipated, Unas knew that he had succeeded, and joy had overcome fatigue, and he hurriedly pressed Moore's chest to verify, and plopped, Moore's heart was beating vigorously.
Unas sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, his whole body was so weak that he didn't want to move a finger, his energy was almost exhausted after a big battle, fortunately there was some holy energy restored by the energy pool vortex, otherwise he might not even be able to perform the resurrection technique completely, and now his body is really empty, and there is no energy left.
Whitemayne didn't want to let him go, she should have been concentrating on learning the resurrection, but she was distracted by Unas's left hand, and she didn't get anything out of it.
"What's going on with your left hand, check it for me." As she spoke, she was about to grab Unas's hand.
Unas was shocked, and then realized that his secret had been discovered, and the use of evil energy was known by this woman, and if she knew about it, she would be poked out, the question was how much did she know?
"You don't have to worry about the little dark wound you suffered before." He fanned the woman's hand and prevaricated.
Whitemane was not going to give up, and when he was about to catch her again, Unas rolled over and stood up, pushed her down, and then hugged his left hand and shouted, "Don't touch me!" ā
"Bondage!" The silver-haired priestess who fell to the ground shouted without saying a word, the white light flashed, and Unas, who was caught off guard, was bound by a white light belt and fell to the ground with a bang.
Unas didn't expect this woman to really dare to deal with him, he couldn't release a skill now, and he couldn't break free from the restraints with his fatigue, so he could only launch a mouth cannon attack: "What do you want to do?" Let go of me, I don't want to play with you! ā
Without saying a word, Whitemayne stood up and grabbed Unas's left hand, and Unas had no choice but to desperately roll out of the tent, and this embarrassed appearance would not care about the majesty of the garrison.
"Definitely!" When the cheers started again, Unas immediately felt stiff all over his body, unable to move, and wanted to shout for help, but his tongue was numb and he couldn't move.
"I'm sorry, but I have to find out if you're a demon or not."
As soon as Whitemane said this, Unas felt bad, and it seemed that she had discovered a hint of evil power.
The silver-haired prosecutor grabbed his left arm, and with a solemn expression, he was about to probe carefully, when a sudden sound came from behind, and then a sharp blade pressed against her neck.
"What do you want to do? Let go of Unas-sama! Moore actually woke up at a critical moment, although his body was weak after his resurrection, but his injuries had all healed, he opened his eyes and saw that the priestess seemed to be disadvantageous to the garrison, he didn't think about anything, and subconsciously picked up the weapon around him to protect the combat hero in his heart.
"Get the sword away! I'm checking his injuries! Whitemane felt the cold air constantly invade his neck, so he had to stop and shout.
Seeing that Moore looked at him, Unas quickly moved his chin sideways with all his might, which of course meant no.
Fortunately, such a subtle movement was also captured by Moore, and his hand holding the sword couldn't help but use a little more force, and Whitemane's swan-like white and soft neck was pressed out of a blood line, "I'll count three times, let go of the adult quickly, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" ā
"Three!"
"Do you know who I am?" Whitemane was almost screaming.
"Two!"
"My father is a great lord......"
"One!"
"I don't believe you dare to kill me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Moore turned his sword sideways and struck the priestess on the temple with the back of his sword, and Whitemane fell to the ground, blood pouring out of her nostrils and the corners of her mouth.
Moore really didn't dare to kill her, but it wasn't a big problem to stun.
More hurriedly helped the garrison up, Whitemayne was knocked unconscious, and the effect of the mantra seemed to be a little reduced, at least Unas's tongue could move, but it could only make one sound at a time: "Na... Plums... Leigh... Second... Call... Come"
Before, Unas was afraid of being disturbed or explored, so he ordered that no one should be allowed to approach the tent, so although the movement inside was not small, no one from the soldiers and priests outside dared to come in to check, but they were all muttering in their hearts what a man, a woman, and a seriously wounded were doing inside.
At this time, the seriously wounded man, who was believed to be mortal by many priests, actually rushed out of the tent and shouted: "Who is Nymeria, my lord, please!" ā
Natasha was the only one in the healing team who knew the secrets of the resurrection, and of course she knew that Unas and Whitemayne were doing what they had done to her, so she wasn't too surprised by Moore's recovery, and simply replied, "I am." ā
As soon as she entered the tent, Natasha was stunned by the scene in front of her, resurrecting one person and lying down the other two, which was not what she imagined.
"Solution... Except," Unas said word for word.
Natasha squatted down to check on him, then turned back to Moll and said, "You go out first." ā
Seeing Unas's slight nod, Moore immediately turned around and walked out of the tent.
Natasha's whole body began to emit black light, and soon transformed into a shadow form, and after a cooing spell, Unas felt a chill wash over his body, and the white light bands that were tightly bound to his body began to dissipate, and the stiff muscles of his body became soft.
"Thank you." Unas stood up and moved his hands and feet, and Whitemane's mantra was completely lifted, but he was still a little unwell.
Natasha pointed to Whitemane on the ground and asked, "What the hell is going on with you guys?" ā
Darkmund was the only human who knew he was using evil powers, so Unas didn't shy away from explaining what had happened to her.
"You're saying she now knows you're having an affair with evil powers," Natasha frowned, "what are you going to do?" ā
"You did a good job with Evan, that kid doesn't seem to remember betraying Horia at all, can you use the same means to block this little memory of hers?"
"Evan is just an ordinary soldier, and unlike her, a high-ranking precept priest's spiritual defense is very strong, and it's hard for me to do it without leaving a trace..."
Unas hurriedly said: "So it can be done?" ā
"Yes," Natasha hesitated, "but there will be a side effect, which may disturb her spirit." ā
"She has a mental problem, she always likes to work against me, maybe this time I can help her set things right," Unas made up his mind, "Just do it, you can do it with confidence, I will take all the responsibilities you have." ā
Natasha is not surprised by his lawlessness, what else can't a paladin who dares to use evil powers? She's not a follower either, or she wouldn't be a Shadow Priest, "I can try." ā
Such an obedient woman is called Xian Neisuke, Unas said in his heart, nodding and motioning for her to do it immediately.
"I need some time." Natasha reached out and pressed her hands on Whiteman's head, then closed her eyes and began to cast the spell.
Unas looked bored for a while, then turned around and walked out of the tent, Moore was loyally guarding the door of the tent, and immediately exclaimed excitedly when he appeared: "Your Excellency, you are all right!" ā
Unas held up a hand and motioned for him to speak quietly, and then thanked, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have been unlucky." ā
"Don't dare, it's my duty to protect your lordship," Moore said modestly, "why does that priestess want to be unfavorable to your lords, is she a spy?" ā
"No, it was just an accident," Unas's tone suddenly became serious, "what I am saying to you below concerns the reputation of a lady, and you must promise not to leak it out." ā
Moore hurriedly nodded and swore an oath, Unas nodded with satisfaction, and began to make up nonsense: "That priest is insane!" It looks normal on weekdays, but once you are exhausted, you are prone to illness, and the serious injuries you have all over your body are healed by her best efforts, and the result of excessive exertion is that she has a neurotic attack and treats me as an enemy. ā
"Is there such a disease in this world?" Moore's face was suspicious, and the garrison's words were so bizarre that he felt as if it wasn't like that.
"You don't need to ask too much about these details," warned Unas, "she's the adopted daughter of the High Lord Alexander Mograine, and if you don't want to be beheaded by the Ashbringers, you should have no accident, Miss Sally Whitemayne healed your serious injuries and is tired herself, that's all you know, understand?" ā
"My lord, I see." Moore could only forcibly dispel the doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of the great nobles.
"Very well," Unas patted him on the shoulder, "are you interested in following me to do things, my personal guard still has a dozen vacancies." ā
"Of course, it's my honor to be able to fight with adults!"
The welfare of the garrison's personal guard is the envy of some soldiers, and Unas often shares the spoils of war with his own personal guards, so their food, weapons, and equipment are the best.
"Then, when your body recovers, you will report to Raphael." Unas is in great need of loyal men, this Mohr seems to be in good shape, and being injured so many shows that he is also very brave in battle, and he may be able to get a promotion after examining it.
After a little more small talk, a dry cough came from inside the tent, and Unas lifted the curtain to see that Natasha had broken away from her shadow form and returned to a masked woman.
"How?"
"Barely succeeded, but it's hard to say what the after-effects will be on her."
It can't really turn into a psychopath, Unas took two steps forward, the blood on Whitemayne's face was wiped clean, and he lay peacefully on the marching carpet, only this appearance made people feel like a gentle healing priest.
"You're tired too, just rest in this tent, and by the way, keep an eye on her, and come to me if you have any questions." Unas comforted Natasha and left the two women to rest in the tent.
