Chapter 9: Suppressed
When the inhabitants of the tribe saw the golden patches, they fell to their knees one by one, and kept bowing to the wheat field, chanting words like "Praise Zenissa." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Such an output was beyond Wei Xu's expectations. I remember a picture in the history of junior high school, where a little girl sat on a dense wheat field...... That's right, Maizi held up the little girl stiffly. Now in front of me, the wheat field is not as ...... as in the photo. Shocking, but the output should also be two to three times more than the previous yield per acre on the earth, and the size of the ears of wheat alone is more than twice the size of the earth.
Robben's old mother trembled to the edge of the wheat field, picked an ear of wheat, rubbed the full ear with her thin hands, and was about to cry, how many years had she not seen such a good field?
Just when everyone was excited about such a big harvest in the new wheat field, a little cold light passed through the old woman's neck with Sensen's killing intent, and then, an overwhelming rain of arrows came.
"Enemy Attack !!" The patrolmen standing guard in the wheat field had only time to let out a heart-rending roar before being drowned out by a rain of arrows.
Robben hadn't reacted to his mother's death yet, Mu Mu looked at his mother who was so soft that he was on the ground, and he was about to rush forward, and the people on both sides were quick to use all their strength to drag Robben. Robben looked at his mother, who was lying on the ground not far away, and fainted with a scream.
Behind several large rocks near the top of the mountain, more than twenty officers and soldiers wearing Imperial leather armor and more than a dozen figures in full-body standard iron helmets and an Imperial officer's armor came out.
"On the orders of Lord Phocles, I have come to exterminate the bandits on the Ridge of the Sword, and those who resist will be killed!" The officer in Imperial armor shouted loudly, and a group of women and children suddenly became chaotic and poured into the castle together. The men on the other side were ready to fight, but none of them surrendered, and the blood and dignity of the Nords did not allow them to succumb to violence.
When a wave of arrows rained down just now, the guards of the tribe were dead and wounded, and there were less than twenty people who could stand. Compared to these bandit guards, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial army is more than 10%. The ambush and the fainting of the guards' most powerful commander made it a crushing battle.
When Wei Xu saw the figure of that group of people, he had already realized that something was wrong. It's no longer a question of whether to fight or not, but how to escape. A team of forty officers and soldiers, even if Wei Xu and twenty guards are stacked together, they can't be defeated. Don't look at the fact that he got a vampire the other day, but the point is that he also took half his life to go in that time, and almost fell to his knees. The method of using the spell last time was simply deadly, injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, if it weren't for his own good character and touching the body of that vampire, the energy raised would have exploded in Wei Xu's own hands.
Although the mage is very powerful, but if you want to destroy this group of officers and soldiers, don't think about it if you don't have a veteran-level lightning chain, your small body is close to this group of tall and strong Nords, although you can wander around and avoid it for a while, and it is only a matter of doing it for a long time, Wei Xu has to go to see the demon god.
Wei Xu felt that the growth of his strength was still a little slow for the first time, the practice of casting spells with both hands was full, and the increase rate of skill proficiency was not low, but he lacked spells at hand, and there was only one thunderball technique in battle, and the rest was to chop around with a sword alone, and the most terrible thing was that he couldn't wear armor, and wearing armor would slow down the spellcasting speed...... It's still too weak after all.
Just as Wei Xu was thinking crankily and nervously looking for a chance to win, the deputy commander came to him with Robben on his back.
"Lord Pastor, it seems that the Imperial Dogs have been prepared this time, we can't escape, there is a cellar leading to the outside world inside the fortress, and the entrance to the cellar is under the largest stone in front of the thatched hut in the south, please take our family and the commander to escape, we will break the back." The deputy commander usually has a very low sense of existence and rarely speaks, but his respect for Wei Xu is not mixed with the slightest impurity.
Wei Xu wanted to tell them that we would fight together, but he knew that he couldn't, not because he was sparing his life, but because there was a large group of old and weak women and children behind him.
The only entrance up and down the mountain was blocked, and it was not difficult for Wei Xu to imagine what the consequences would be if this group of old and young people were captured, as can be seen from the arrow that had just killed Robben's mother. This group of people is not a good one.
Although Wei Xu was small, he was a level 12 warrior, and he didn't feel heavy with Robben on his back, so he turned around and ran towards the fortress.
The deputy commander and the remnants of the guards shot arrows in waves, and the archers behind the heavy armor in front of the imperial army also fought back in waves, but the pace of the imperial army was also delayed.
The deep hiding he had learned before was also useful, Wei Xu rushed to Robben's room, brought his armor and sword, and then stuffed his space in the warehouse as if it was full of food. The old and young people in the tribe hid in their homes one by one due to fear, and they didn't dare to come out of the dead door, Wei Xu knocked on the door one by one to call someone, and finally followed with three children, only fifteen people, three old people, six teenagers and three women, and the rest were either not at home or unwilling to come out.
The hole next to the stone was covered with a thin layer of sand, and it was not as hidden as Wei Xu imagined.
There is only one road in the cave, and the more you walk, the more spacious it becomes, and you are not afraid of getting lost or something. Wei Xu once again complained that he had too few spells, he had been in the sky for a year, and the night in the sky was not as bright as the day, but he could still see by relying on the moonlight, this was the first time Wei Xu had entered the cave, and his eyes were black ....... Fortunately, there was an unlit torch on the wall not far from the entrance, which allowed Wei Xu and his party to end the process of walking in the dark.
At the end of the tunnel is a huge natural cave, dappled with sunlight at the entrance to the cave not far away, and you can even hear the crisp birdsong outside. Outside the entrance to the cave is a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, which seems to be safe for the time being.
Wei Xu took the refugees to rest outside the entrance of the cave, and then turned around and returned. There are only torches at the entrance of the cave for such a long road, and the dark tunnels are generally difficult to walk without lighting, and the Imperial army will not be able to catch up with them even if they chase them down.
There was nothing wrong with the cave at the exit, but Wei Xu saw an eye carved artificially on a large stone, and five lines with angles of 72 degrees were engraved around the eye, and in general, it looked like an eye had grown out of a five-pointed star.
This was the first time Wei Xu had seen this mark in the sky—the Wintercastle Mage Association.
The stone was not big, so Wei Xu easily lifted it, with a letter, a sticky note and a book pressed underneath.
"Traveler:
I'm Dicker, the rune mage of Winterhold. I may have passed away when you open this letter, and there is one thing I have to do, if it succeeds, I will take what is here, and if it fails, then my soul has returned to resting place. Here, I would like to ask you for one thing, to help me send a letter to Ran, the archmage of Wintercastle, and I will give you this rune magic synopsis I wrote as a gift. Remember, the safety of the entire continent of Tamriel is at stake, so please be sure to deliver it before 196.
Darker 4E191 11th of the last seed month"
This is the master's pen of a Winter Castle mage, written in 191, and has not been taken back until now, and it is estimated that this mage is already kneeling. Ah Ran is the head of Winterhold, a dark elf mage, and this letter directly to Ah Ran is also considered the top secret of Winterhold. The letter to Ah Ran was sealed, and there was a small dark red magic rune on the seal, and Wei Xu recognized the magic circle at a glance, the flame rune, which also stopped Wei Xu from peeking at the letter.
This errand Wei Xu is going to find a time to go, at least until the matter at hand is dealt with. The things related to Wintercastle and the dangerous world are nothing more than the scourge of Magnus and the dragon that were unearthed later. A rune magic summary is enough to solve Wei Xu's urgent need, but it only solves the urgent need, if he takes the line of Winter Castle by sending a letter, Wei Xu's future growth path will also have endless benefits.
"Since the destruction crisis of Winterhold, the ruined Winterhold Mage Academy has also opened a closed mode, and they are only enthusiastic about sharing knowledge with "insiders", and they are very cold to outsiders. ―The Wandering Mage's Travels
