Chapter Eighty-Six: The Demon Seeds
It was the first time that the barbarian leader had been struck so badly, and according to previous experience, even if there was damage to the attack, there had never been a situation where most of the casualties were as there were today.
More than fifty strong barbarian young warriors were enough to crush the cavalry regiment of two hundred men in the front, but they did not even approach the fortress wall, and they were already suffering heavy casualties.
Until the end of the battle, he didn't even touch the gates of Log House.
With the exception of a lucky companion, the rest did not even advance a hundred meters, and the line of armor-piercing arrows and muskets was too terrifying.
Looking at his fellow man whose head had been bombarded and turned into a pulp beneath the fortress wall, the barbarian leader twitched in the face.
It doesn't seem to be good luck either......
The ballista and musket left the barbarians a hundred meters away, and in this distance, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, churning hot blood melted the snow around them, gradually turning into crimson ice crystals, and the barbarians who were hit by * did not even have the last bones left, and as the grease was burned out, their last traces in the world were burned clean.
......
"We won!"
"The barbarians are retreating!"
Mongoose was pleasantly surprised to find that the barbarians began to gather their ranks and slowly withdrew from the plains outside the cabin town, and there was no doubt that the battle was won by itself!
The soldiers began to cheer loudly, and suddenly some people began to vomit violently, this was the first time to see the adverse reaction of the tragic battlefield, which usually only appeared in the recruits, and the veterans were silent at this time and began to clean the barrels and reload the ammunition, who knows if the barbarians would take advantage of their relaxation and suddenly kill back the carbine.
When the figure of the barbarian actually disappeared at the other end of the horizon, everyone finally relaxed.
"What do you ...... Now, now...... It's not the time to relax......" There was a staccato sound from the side, sounding like a dilapidated bellows being pulled.
The mongoose's eyes widened instantly.
"Carlo!"
"You're still alive!"
Carlo's clothes were covered in holes from the flying sparks, and smoke was emitting from them, and he looked embarrassed.
"Luck...... It's not bad, barely survived," Carlo glanced at his palm regretfully, the palm of his hand was miserable, and the skin and flesh ablated by the high temperature turned out, "It's just that in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight side by side with you again." ”
......
Arctic Mountains.
Snow felt that he had talked more in the past few days than in his life, and whenever a companion returned from the outside world, Snow would express his thoughts to the other party, and advise the other party to leave the Dark Council with him.
"A safe environment, with plenty of food and water, and without fear of exclusion and discrimination, we can live with humanity. Snow pulled out the parchment with the coat of arms of the Capetian family from his bosom, which stated Rantino's conditions, "I have lived in the Empty Ferry Territory for a long time, and I have secretly observed the Empty Ferry Lord Rand, and it is clear from his attitude towards Oak that he is not lying. ”
"He needs us to develop his territory, and we need his protection, it's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
There were five people sitting around the fire, and Connor didn't react to Snow's words, anyway, whether she agreed or not, Snow was going to take her away.
The woman sitting at the front frowned, her name was Andy, she had a very gentle personality, she was one of the first people to join the Dark Council, Snow remembered that she was always optimistic, but now she hadn't seen a smile on her face for a long time.
"If the news leaks out, I am afraid that the Empty Crossing will become a thorn in the side of the Holy See, and not only will we not be able to help, but we may also be able to affect others. Andy said seriously, "I have heard of the methods of the Holy See. ”
"I was worried about it, but when I asked Rand," Snow said with a serious look on his face, "He said, "The danger is always proportional to the reward, and if you want to get it, you have to pay something, it's like a gamble, it's my choice, even if I lose, I will never regret it!"
The demons had a hard time after joining the council, and after listening to Snow's story about the outside world and what Rand promised, it was impossible to say that it was impossible not to be moved at all, this is a major event that determines the fate of a lifetime, in the Arctic Mountains, not only have to endure the harsh environment, but also always beware of assassinations from the right court, if it weren't for the strong psychological quality trained by the perennial escape, maybe the members of the left court would have collapsed in this environment.
People who have been silent in the dark all year round, once they see the dawn of hope, will chase it more fiercely than ordinary people.
When they heard that the lord of the Sky Crossing Domain had invented all kinds of magical machinery and weapons by relying on the power of the demon seed, the few people sitting in the room couldn't help but be a little nervous, and a little incredible, the magic had been with them for decades, and they had never thought that magic could use other ways to exert its power.
Such as manufacturing, such as construction.
"I have seen the power of a weapon that can burst out with the power of thunder with the help of black gunpowder, and a huge repeating crossbow that works with the help of oil, and it is a power that transcends the times. Snow said with a hint of admiration, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a near-perfect creation in the world." ”
"Lord of the Empty Ferry Lord, to be honest, I have never seen a man like him, although he is a nobleman, but he does not have the arrogance of nobles, as a descendant of the Capetian family, he is not at all like those second ancestors who only know how to gamble and do not know how to learn, his production concept is much more advanced than any alchemy workshop, and most importantly, he does not like the Holy See. ”
Andy exhaled lightly, sounding like the lord was a pretty interesting guy.
A piece of land that can hold it, free from the threat of death, and that is enough.
Andy didn't dare to expect more, in her heart, it was already the greatest luck to be alive.
"I don't know what my abilities can do for him?" Andy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can only break down things, maybe I can help with the garbage." ”
"Uh...... , so I'm a good assassin?" Under the flickering light of the stove, the thin boy hidden in the shadows stepped out, "It seems that there is no other use for this ability to stealth, right?"
Everyone silently looked at the person who had not said a word, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts......
"What can lightning do?"
