Chapter 141: Just a Bluff
Although he felt that his voice was not as deep as when he heard it in his previous life, he could judge from his unique voice.
Although Aine was a little panicked, he was a little more inexplicable, why he didn't feel the aura and fluctuations that belonged to Gustav at all.
After condensing the true name, the breath and fluctuations of each creature are different because of the true name. It's like smelling rotten eggs, and those who have a little knowledge of chemistry know that it's hydrogen sulfide.
"Sam, you can just talk a few words first...... "Maybe others don't know this, but Ain still understands the characteristics of this kind of strong man more thoroughly. There may be some way to cover up or obfuscate the aura, but Ain knew that Gustav didn't bother to do it.
Focus.
Now, if Ain still wants to maintain the same kind of observation as in the late game of his previous life, he must use the magic energy pool to observe and feel through a focused method. Anyway, Aine didn't feel any danger, and as for this Gustav's voice, it was mostly scary.
Soon, Aine was out of focus with a smile on his face, and it seemed that the results were already clear.
"Gustav, I didn't expect that you would also start playing with these broken hands that you have always looked down on." Aine said happily, then took out some spell casting materials from the inner pocket of the mage robe, leaned the oak staff in his hand forward slightly, and then released a spell.
"You!" Gustav's voice still came from nowhere, but the anger could be clearly felt, "Master of the Three Rings, who gave you the courage to slander me like this?" ”
After completing the spell casting, Ain muttered as if to himself, "Who gave you this opportunity to be arrogant?" ”
There was a moment of silence before Gustav's voice sounded in a low voice.
"I think I'm underestimating you, mage. I have to say, you're in luck. But I want to remind you that the piece in your hand is not as simple as you think. ”
Ain shook his head, and without looking back, he headed in the direction of the large army, leaving only a few words.
"It's just a bluff. If it weren't for that fragment, I wouldn't have had time to release that dimensional anchor, would I? Luck, that is, strength. ”
……
"Speaker......"
"I know the spell failed." Bertreme's voice was unusually low, "I can't hide the matter anymore, I will go to the astral plane in a while, meet with His Majesty, and talk about this matter...... I didn't expect that that fragment would still be of this use, how could this little mage who didn't know if it was the third ring or the fourth ring know......"
Gustav thrust his rifle into the ground, and asked, "Do you want those buckets to continue chasing now?" ”
"No need, they must be going back to Winterfell, according to the original plan, heading for Winterfell......"
……
"Lord Lord, that voice just now is really Gustav's?" Harden's voice is still a little trembling, to say that the entire Drew undead army, the last thing the Cold Army is willing to face head-on is the undead knights under Gustav. Even these elite veterans are not exempt from vulgarity.
Aine said easily, "So what...... Anyway, he couldn't have teleported to that dimensional anchor just now. Since there is no way to stand in front of us, what is there to be afraid of, and you have the ability to chase after us yourself......"
"It seems that the baron knows Gustav's temperament well......" The fat bard's words made Aine a little confused.
"Well, this is when my father is still around...... When I pestered him to listen to the story of his war...... "Ain's words were choppy, and Sam felt a little like he was asking a question that was a little out of place.
"The old baron is the ...... of the country Hey......"
……
To Drew's dismay, his march had been arranged in all directions from north to Far Winter, but he still hadn't found the large army of thousands of men that Ain was leading. In fact, Bertrem didn't know that it was because of the order he gave to march into Winterfell according to the original plan that made it so easy for Ain to evade the search of the undead army.
Maybe the civilians didn't know, and the soldiers didn't know, but Ain knew that the route they were traveling was almost interspersed between several undead armies.
……
On the twenty-sixth day of the Melting Moon, although there was a slight delay on the road, Aine still took the thousands of civilian soldiers with him to see the mysteries of Winterfell before the undead army officially attacked the city.
Unlike the previous direct closure, the Lost Lock of Winterfell now remains open, even if it is not in danger. Even if this kind of opening has almost no defensive function, Ain knows that if he does not use the magic energy half-plane on the other side of the rift, the magic energy consumed every day is not a few.
"Lord Baron, even if you show your badge, we will report to the City Lord's Mansion, because the team behind you ...... Now you understand, sir......"
Ain waved his hand casually and said, "Go and come back quickly, the undead are not far from here, I won't make it difficult for you soldiers, but you should have a little sense of crisis." ”
"Thank you, Lord Baron." The soldier, who was supposed to be the leader of the squad, gave a few words of explanation to the soldiers on the side, and then stepped on the horses on the side and hurried into the city.
……
"Ain is back?" Brady was a little surprised, although the prophetic master Rutherford had not been worried about the safety of this mage with only two rings, but he was still a little worried. Although Ain is only the only heir to a hereditary baronial title without an on-the-ground person, and he only has the strength of the second ring, many of the things that Ain said before have left a little image in the heart of this quasi-high-level knight with 12 knight ranks.
"Let it go." Rutherford was not surprised, but silently gave such an order.
The squad leader, who was a little scared, looked at his city lord, and Brady nodded and said, "As Master Rutherford said." In addition, go to the battle reserve of the Ice Legion, allocate some tents, except for the noble district, some open spaces in other districts can be given to them to live in, and you can bring a message to Baron Ain, and let him take care of his affairs a little and then go directly to the city hall to meet me. ”
……
Far Winter City, after nearly a month in the northwest side, several times cruising between life and death, fortunately, finally came back intact......
Looking at the slowly opening city gate, Ain sighed.
