Chapter 112: The Death of the White Mountain
These problems were solved, and I didn't encounter any more problems after the whole day's trek. Because the whole distance was shortened, now Ain also ordered Harden to slow down the speed of the team's travel. In particular, the time it takes to make a fire and melt water during a meal has obviously become much longer, which is used to save the number of water creation techniques that Ain needs to release.
In addition to the mental burden caused by too many spell casting, the monotonous spell casting action of mechanical repetition also made Ain have enough. Although there was some overlap in the spells he used in each of his battles now, he didn't cast as many identical spells in a row.
The night in the northwest of Rysel always comes so quickly, especially now that Al Ain is traveling on the eastern slope of the White Mountain Range, once the sun has dropped to a certain position, whether it is the brightness of the environment or the surrounding temperature, there will be a significant drop, and it is often time to choose a place to rest......
However, the snow ape, the cave that he recalled in advance and chose to rest at night, seems to have an owner in it......
Say the master, because it's true that these critters aren't much of a threat to Ain. A small family of squirrels, and a few wild wolves that were so old that they were almost waiting to die, were trying to survive this very difficult winter in the warm cave below.
This time, Ain didn't even want to use the clever tongue technique, but after raising his hand and using a few dance light techniques to illuminate the cave, the masters obediently accepted Ain's hustle and bustle.
After laying out a few spells for warning, Ain also instructed Harden and Paul to arrange a rest.
Because living in a cave, it is naturally not suitable for living and cooking in a cave, otherwise there is no way for that kind of smoke to spread outside the cave in this kind of cave, whether it is the stimulation of the smoke of the fire or the consumption of air by the flame, it is a kind of destruction to the environment in the cave - although Ain can use spells to create magical flames, but Ain is really too lazy to do it, because he has more important things now.
Today's avalanche is a warning to Ain, because today, the heavy snow of the magic energy has been falling for sixteen nights, Ain chose this time to go out, that is, to go forward to investigate, if there is a trend of unstable snow in some places, Ain does not mind directly giving a man-made avalanche.
However, I flew forward for a long time using the flying technique, and I didn't see that kind of very dangerous hillside. What Ain learned through his perception was that the entire snow should be connected to a stable body due to the presence of magical energy, and there was a tendency to turn into ice.
"Ice?" Thinking of this, Aine couldn't help but silently recite the word, and then repeated it a few more times.
A thought arose in Ain's mind.
If all the snow here melts and the entire Northwest Frontier becomes an ice zone...... Then it is not surprising that those weavers appeared.
Because the crown of ice, which these weavers have guarded for generations, is the kind of area made of ice. Although these weavers have the weakness of being afraid of the cold ice magic energy, in the ice cap of the Ice Crown, it is the kind of magic energy that is extremely stable, and there is no ice magic energy leaking out at all.
……
While Ain was investigating the safety of the road ahead, the retreat of Baishan City had already begun in an orderly manner.
Although Archbishop Rhodes felt the wrath of Bahamut, the "platinum dragon" of his faith, because of his lack of firmness in the retreat plan, if he wanted to put aside this point of reasoning, Archbishop Rhodes thought that this was a very perfect plan.
This plan was decided at about noon, and if it was distributed, nearly half of the soldiers had now escaped from the huge tomb of White Mountain City.
It is said that it is a street battle, but in fact, it is just to use the flesh and blood of those soldiers to delay time, so that Risel can prepare the strength to counterattack and ensure the safety of those more important cities and noble lords in the future.
However, with such a retreat, the losses of the entire Ice Legion, especially the most basic ordinary soldiers, were already very heavy. It can be said that after the entire Ice Legion was established in the Northwest Province, even if it was a fiasco in a prosperous year, it had never suffered such a loss.
"Fortunately, there are still more than half of the warriors who survive, they are all lucky, but many real veterans, after this war, most of them will choose to retire for psychological reasons......" Archbishop Rhodes supervised the retreat, and then sighed in his heart.
However, such an orderly retreat was only felt by the prophetic master Rutherford according to his own perception.
Wendell's previous concern was also what Rutherford focused on before he said that plan - where was the quasi-legendary chief of the undead knight, Gustav, where.
However, Rutherford's perception was only vague, he only felt that Gustav was not in the rear of White Mountain City, so he made a plan to retreat.
However, it seems that something is wrong...... After expressing his feelings in his heart, Archbishop Rhodes obviously felt that there was something unnatural around him.
Like, the retreat was too smooth...... Even Rutherford, the master prophecy master who is proficient in prophecy, wouldn't have had such a perfect plan......
The riot broke out in the blink of an eye, and now the Riesel army, which was assembled according to the formation in the south of the city outside the White Mountain, was already waiting for the first order to retreat, but at this time, the sharp-eyed soldiers saw a black torrent charging down from the side hillside.
"Enemy attack!" The news of the attack immediately spread among the Riesel army, but at this time, they were also a little prepared, and it was indeed a bit too strange to retreat so smoothly.
When they got a little closer, the soldiers realized that it was a very neat cavalry, a cavalry in black armor, that was charging at them.
"Cavalry defensive formation!" Although Archbishop Rhodes has not yet received the magic bestowed by his god "Platinum Dragon" Bahamut, his majesty is still there, and he immediately began to command, preparing to resist the onslaught of cavalry.
This formation was simply familiar to the army in the border area, and the centurions adjusted their ranks and set up their positions before the cavalry charge arrived.
At this time, you can clearly see that those black-armored cavalry are all undead knights.
However, by the time these details were really clear, the undead knights who had rushed to the front had already arrived in front of the anti-charge position of the Rysel soldiers.
Without the slightest hesitation or stagnation, the Undead Knights rode their spears with their skeletons in one hand and slammed into Rysel's formation.
Blood flowers bloom.
However, the Undead Knights are bloodless......
