Chapter 139: Tossing and turning
Evacuating with such a large force was a real challenge. Because of the haste, neither the necessary supplies nor the need to fight in a dangerous situation could meet Ain's demands.
Now Ain can only hope that the road to Far Winter City will be able to develop according to his own script.
As for the script in Ain's own mind, Ain knew that there was no high level of realistic feasibility......
Because in the previous life game, on the twenty-fourth day of the Melting Moon, the farthest observation post outside Winterfell had already found traces of the bone frame.
And from Sophie Fort to Far Winter City, there are too many mountain roads, even if all of them are young and strong, it will take about three days to reach Far Winter City. Not to mention that it would be nice to be able to reach Far Winter City on the twenty-sixth day of the Melting Moon.
"I hope that the direction of the movement of those skeleton troops will not change much because of my appearance." Aine thought silently in his heart, because he himself knew the direction of several large forces of Nedru in the past few days in the game. As long as you don't encounter those big troops, you can eat some small trash fish.
How can I say that among the thousands of people that Ain is bringing now, the comprehensive quality of those soldiers and sergeants is far better than that of the current Rether Ice Cold Legion. The Ice Legion was defeated one after another when it collided with Drew's main force, and although there were not many of these people led by Ain, there was no way to compete with Drew's main force, but it was enough to eat trash fish.
……
"Give the order, and all of us will go to the right after crossing the mountain pass in front."
"Give the order, all of them turn left after seeing a torch."
"Give the order, stop advancing!"
……
On the twenty-fourth day of the Melting Moon, the day after the fall of Fort Sophie, Ain began to lead the way at the front of the group, using the Jewel of Communication to give instructions to the team on how to advance.
Ain's principle in choosing the route was to try not to even touch small trash fish. Sometimes I really can't avoid it, so I take care to clean it up myself, anyway, I basically guarantee that the whereabouts of the large army will not be exposed. As for the traces of the team, Ain didn't plan to clean it up, because the team was too big, and cleaning it up would really consume Ain's magic energy pool in minutes.
"Baron Ain, I already feel the negative energy aura at the back of the team getting heavier and heavier, maybe those Drew undead knights are already very close to our team."
After one of the commands was given, the voice of the stout bard was heard from another gem.
"Sam, push the end a little faster, and then turn another corner and we can use the valley and shake off these rotten heels." Aine briefly recalled the terrain around him, and then said.
Out of the front of the mountain pass is a valley, originally in order to facilitate the convenience from Sophie Fort to Winterfell, a simple suspension bridge was made over the cliff and the opposite ridge, although simple, but barely passable, as long as the team all crossed the suspension bridge, and then Ain rubbed a fireball to blow up the suspension bridge, those undead knights can only choose to go down the mountain and then up the mountain to continue to track. This can buy this huge team a lot of time.
"Walk across the bridge, don't run and crowd!" It may be because Sophie surrendered to Drew, so it turns out that the civilians in Fort Sophie have some disdain for the words of the officers. However, the lord named Ain, who took them to escape, although he was also a nobleman of the kingdom, but the commoners felt some different feelings from other noble lords, and they were naturally willing to obey the orders of this lord Ain.
"Lord Lord, the undead knight behind is about to catch up, and there are still many people who haven't had time to cross the bridge......" Harden sprinted all the way to Ain, and then whispered to Ain, because the altitude here is relatively high, Harden, a warrior who has awakened his power, is a little out of breath after running like this.
Ain shook the oak staff in his hand, then blessed his Harden with a flying spell while shouting, "Paul! You keep the civilians in order to cross the bridge, and your father and I go to inspect the ranks behind. ”
……
"Have faith? The person who came was probably the undead knight elite who was closest to the legendary undead knight belt since the Fourth Age. "Without anyone else, Ain, Sam, and Harden are at the end of the line, because it's not much use to come back to others.
Originally, the warriors would have suffered in this kind of battle, and if it weren't for Harden's forced stay on the grounds that he was the guardian knight of the Lannisters, Ain would have driven him away.
"Confidence? Even if you don't have faith, you have to have faith. Even with a half-life, drag the team through the drawbridge. Aine smiled, but there was no nervousness.
He can basically judge that although the undead knight who came is an elite, that Gustav should not have come.
Ain and Gustav, the later legendary undead knight commander, were also old acquaintances in the games of their previous lives, but they were acquaintances because of many battles. After this advanced legend became a real undead knight commander, the combat effectiveness of the undead knight wargroup led by him was even stronger, and it was even more difficult to fathom. However, without the undead knight led by this legend, it is still a plate of loose sand like before, so the mages in Ain's team are all familiar with the aura of this undead knight commander. As long as you use the mage's means to feel the aura of this legend, then avoid going away.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no breath of Gustav, which can definitely mean that Gustav is not in this team. But from a certain point of view, the probability of Gustav being in the team is very small.
The fat bard looked at Aine earnestly, for a long time, and then nodded silently.
Indeed, what's the point of taking these civilians so far without stopping those undead knights here?
"Get ready for battle." Aine didn't say much, he had already pinched out a handful of spellcasting materials, and then a mouthful of Mestyr's strong sour breath sprayed out into the woods.
While Ain and Sam were talking, the undead knights were already approaching.
Ain's choice of the strong acid spell of this spell school also has his purpose, because the strong acid can clearly see whether this undead knight's team is led by a high-level undead knight.
Judging from the effect of the spell, Ain's guess was indeed correct, Gustav, and he was not in this team.
"Let go of the fight, luck is on our side this time!" After briefly conveying the news to Harden and Sam that Gustav was not leading the team, Ain began a new round of spell casting again.
*********
Originally, I wrote a lot of words, dismantling the process of tossing and turning, and then wrote several encounters...... Later, I felt that these plots were not too important, so I deleted and rewrote them, so this chapter is written until now...... It's kind of a manuscript that tore up almost two chapters.
This short episode will end the day after tomorrow, and then Winter City will transition, and it will almost be ready to open the next volume, and the plot will not be revealed in advance, anyway, it is still based on wisdom, supplemented by strength, and complementing each other......
Finally, silently ask for a recommendation vote......
