Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-One: Luminas
The flames of the tunnel gradually died out, and the blackened tunnel that had been smoked collapsed partially, which was a surprise for Isabelle, meaning that it would take longer for the orcs to attack again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The orcs who entered the Red Ridge Mountain did not leave a single living mouth, the ground that was dried and cracked by the flames, and then experienced the bombardment of meteor fire, is now dark red, which is the result of the thirsty land sucking blood, and many craters even have some thick blood-water mixtures.
A huge pit was dug by the minmen, who, under the command of the soldiers, threw the corpses of orcs into the pit, and by this time a thick layer of corpses had accumulated at the bottom of the pit.
Luminas sat on a pile of logs, her longbow and quiver by her side, and she watched in a daze as the busy miners secretly plucked the gold and silver from the orcs' fangs.
A black eagle combed its feathers on the wood not far from her, occasionally watching the surroundings with vigilance.
"Chirp-"
The high-pitched, long-druffled voice woke Luminas to her animal companions, who had flapped their wings and soared into the sky, hovering above her head with a rapid eagle roar.
Sensing that someone had come to her side, Luminas turned her head to see that it was Isabelle, and she panicked and wanted to get up and salute, but was held down by the shoulder.
After stopping the marksman general, Isabel sat next to her, looked at the corpses of the orcs who were constantly being thrown into the pit, and said with a smile
"Actually, orcs are nothing to fear, it's not that injuries hurt, they die when they are hit, and sometimes they are weaker than gnolls."
Luminas was silent and did not speak, she did not understand why the marshal would say this to her.
"You are one of the few female generals under my command, and in fact there are not many women in our army, and some people even talk behind my back that it is unfair for me to promote you."
Isabel said to herself, looking up at the black eagles that had already flown away, and the griffons flying in the sky.
"Men don't always want a woman to be of higher status than themselves, especially when the woman comes from a humble background."
Isabel turned her head to look at Luminas, with a smile on her face, looking graceful and beautiful.
"I'm sorry Marshal." Luminas's eyes were a little evasive, in her impression, the marshal in front of her always seemed to have the momentum of a strong woman, as if everything was under control, even if General Patton's anger after the death of the battle, he could quickly calm down, and it was the first time she had seen such a gentle marshal.
So she was a little ashamed, when she slaughtered the orcs before, she really couldn't help the hatred in her heart, abandoned her subordinates, and joined the revenge on the orcs alone, which was a very serious desertion.
In response to Luminas' apology, Isabel shook her head, she looked away and said, "Tell me about you, your hatred for the orcs is too strong, and if you continue like this, you will be lost in revenge, I don't want to see that." ”
Luminas was silent, a little reluctant to mention it, but she glanced at the smiling Isabel and suddenly her vision blurred, tears the size of a bean running down her cheeks.
"I saw him kill my parents, and my lover, and I hid in the cellar and watched him drain their souls with evil magic!"
A story that most people in the Wild West have ever encountered, if not the most poignant. On the day of Luminas' wedding, a group of orcs attacked their village, and his husband hid him in a hidden crypt before being discovered by the orcs while picking up his parents.
The difference is that many people were killed by orcs with knives and axes, while her relatives were stripped of their souls by a strange orc wearing a hood in front of her eyes with a kind of green magic.
Until now, every night when she closed her eyes, she could see the screaming and wailing spirits, and her husband who had fallen in agony before her.
At that moment, hatred was already planted in her heart, and the anger of revenge burned in her chest, so she became one of the few female soldiers in the army.
A tragic story, Isabel listened quietly, but her mind went back to a long time ago, it was also a wedding, her wedding, a luxurious, stately palace, a handsome husband made her feel that this was the happiest thing in the world.
But the intrusion of the devil changed her life! Her husband went deep alone to rescue her, and finally fell into the devil's trap.
Turning her head to look at Luminas, who had already wept into tears, Isabel thought of herself, when she had taken the throne that belonged to her lover in grief, and was not this huntress as crazy and desperate to take revenge on the devil?
Even in order to resist the devil, she did not hesitate to join forces with the undead, and was manipulated by the undead for many years, when the largest number of soldiers in the imperial army were not humans but undead!
"You've done a good job, yesterday you killed at least a thousand orcs!" Isabel comforted Luminas, the general of the marksman, and killed a large number of orcs in the final shooting time.
"Nope! I want to be stronger, and I can kill hundreds or thousands of orcs with a single blow, just like you, not by other people's hands! Wiping away a handful of tears, Luminas's face became resolute: "Although I don't know what that orc's name is, I will never kill him now!" ”
"Is it the same as me?" Looking at the huntress full of expectations, Isabel could only smile wryly, magic is not so easy to learn, in addition to qualifications, long-term honing and dedication to the pursuit of truth are also very important.
I didn't look at a certain king, who was blessed by the dragon god and directly endowed with huge magic power, but now he is still learning swordsmanship. Luminas was completely blinded by hatred, and she and Ben could not have achieved anything along the way.
Seeing Isabel's hesitation and wry smile, the light of hope in Luminas' eyes gradually dissipated, but she was not discouraged, and after the woman who had gone through the ordeal vented, she became more and more obsessed with revenge.
"Marshal!" A herald in a bright red cloak stood beneath the pile, tilting his head and shouting, "The guards heard movement behind the cave-in. ”
Patting the huntress on the shoulder, Isabel regained her majestic and indifferent look, cast a flying thaumaturgy on herself, and leaped from the high wooden pile.
"Tell all the generals to take their places!" As soon as he landed, Isabel commanded loudly. The defense plan has already been arranged, and there is no need to further talk at this time.
When the herald left, Isabel narrowed his eyes as he looked at the half-finished wall
"Come on, if the lesson I've taught you isn't enough!"
