"Of course we can just walk away. Visit wèn download txt novel //." Ms. Bishop's face was like frost. Now that the decision has been made, she is not ready to inkblot with these stupid fellows anymore.
The soldiers in the hunting camp were not the regular army of the Empire, but the private army belonging to various noble families, and Ms. Bishop had no right to forcibly order the left-behind faction led by Earl Thompson, and naturally, Earl Thompson could not stop those nobles who wanted to break through.
It is true that after the nobles who chose to break through left, the hunting camp will be less manned, and it will be more difficult to defend against demonic attacks, but this is the choice of Earl Thompson and others, and the other nobles are not obliged to use their own private soldiers to protect their safety.
If you can't fight together for a single goal, then you have to sweep the snow in front of each other.
Eventually, under the angry gaze of Earl Thompson, the meeting broke up.
But Ms. Bishop, Gordon and the others didn't bother to pay attention to this, they had more important things to do.
Now that the breakthrough has been decided, how to break through, to break through there, and how to get rid of the pursuit of the demon and escape safely after the breakthrough is successful, is something that needs to be considered now.
And Gordon has long had his own plan.
On a large square table in the center of the tent, Ms. Bishop unfolded a map showing the hunting camp and the terrain within a radius of 200 kilometers.
"In which direction should we break out and evacuate? Go back the way you came? Or head north and leave the Cold Mist Mountains from the Stannid Pass and enter High Rock? Or do you simply go east, and finally make a big circle, into the Changxia Plain? Dorn said, looking at the map.
Ms. Bishop shook her head: "All three directions are possible options, but they are by no means the most suitable ones. Which way to evacuate is not critical. How we get rid of the pursuit of demons is the key. ”
Viscount Grant gritted his teeth and said: "There are a lot of horses in the hunting camp, and when we break through, we can basically guarantee one person and one horse. However, there are too few smooth roads in the mountains that can be used for war horses to gallop, and we do not have an advantage over the demons. What's more tricky is that we are not an army, and there are a lot of women and children in the camp, which will further slow down the progress. ”
As many aristocrats know, this is a tricky reality. But these old and young women and children are all noble families, and the nobles can't abandon them in cold blood and run for their lives alone.
"And one more thing don't forget." Faria, the Grand Duke's daughter, pointed to the top of her head, "Flomo is the best scout. They are in the sky and can control where we are going at all times. If the demon commander is not a complete fool, then it is very easy for the enemy to take advantage of the unilateral superiority of battlefield information to encircle and intercept us. ”
Faria's words caused everyone another headache. Although they knew in their hearts that only by breaking through could they have a way to live, but when they really made the decision to break through and began to rack their brains to find a feasible surname plan, the nobles appeared, and there were many difficulties.
Even in daylight, Flomo's eyesight was enough to monitor the ground at an altitude of three hundred meters. Even with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, more than 500 people could not escape their eyes.
Compared to the powerful Barlow Flame Demon, the flying Flo Demon is the most realistic threat. If you don't deal with these humanoid vulture-like demons, then even if you succeed in breaking through, you will be caught up by the demons sooner or later. When the time comes, it will still not be able to escape the fate of destruction.
"If there were a griffin unit or a wing of platinum crossbowmen here, we might be able to take out the hundred or so Flomos."
"Why don't you just pray that the Sun Knights will descend from the sky and kill all the demons with a single charge?"
"You bastard, you're going to talk cold!"
The difficult situation made everyone feel bad and their tempers became irritable. The two nobles disagreed, and they were about to quarrel.
"Shut up! Leave your energy behind to fight the demons! Ms. Bishop stopped and finally let the two of them shut up.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Gordon stepped forward again. He tapped his index finger heavily on the map and said, "I have a mention yì that may be able to solve the dilemma in front of me." ”
Ms. Bishop looked at Gordon, and now his finger landed on the place marked "Andory Town" on the map.
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Ancient Path? ”
"That's right." Gordon snapped his fingers, "As long as we enter the Ancient Path, we will not only be able to avoid the detection of Flo in the air, but the sacred barrier at the entrance of the cave will also be able to prevent the demon from entering. ”
"The sacred barrier at the entrance of the Ancient Road Cave can indeed prevent evil creatures from entering. But as far as I know, other creatures can't get in either. "It was a middle-aged mage in a silk silver-trimmed emerald mage robe, whom Gordon had seen in the battle last night, and had some impressions, remembering that he was Sir Polivich, a three-ring mage.
"Sir Polivich, you must know a lot about the Ancient Way." Gordon said.
Sir Polivich nodded quite smugly, although he did not have too high achievements in the arcane, he was nearly fifty years old, and he only had the strength of the three rings, but he had made great achievements in historical research.
"So, are you familiar with it?"
Gordon whistled lightly, and with a fleeting white light, his demon pet had already come from the exclusive demon pet space to the main material realm.
"It's!" Sir Polivich's eyes widened, and his pupils dilated violently. He was short of breath, and his words could not hide his excitement, "This jewel crow, I have seen it in the history books. Its appearance is almost exactly the same as Boss, the demon pet of Sepstein's ** master of the Kingdom of Sedin! ”
"To be precise, you can think of Quack as a descendant of Boss." Gordon added.
"How did you get this pet?" Sir Polivich seems to have forgotten that they are surrounded by an army of demons and need to find a way to break out immediately. He had turned all his attention to the legends of the Jewel Raven and the Ancient Way.
"This is a secret." Gordon laughed.
"Yes, there are always some people who have better luck than ordinary people." Dorne shrugged. Although he had the resources of the entire Lannister family for this young master to use, he still did not find a magic pet that suited his heart. So after learning that Gordon had obtained a jewel crow as a pet, Dorne was extremely envious and lamented why he didn't have such luck.
"In short, with the help of my demon pet, I will be able to pass through the Guò Divine Barrier and enter the Ancient Path." Gordon concluded.
When he woke up this morning, he heard an old, mysterious voice from the jewel crow. Gordon believed it was not a coincidence, let alone an illusion.
Whether Ferredon's ancestral spirits are summoning or trying to escape from demons, he'll need to retrace the ancient path.
Gordon still has a way out anyway.
Even if the situation is at its worst, he believes that with his own strength, coupled with Dorne's help, it will not be difficult to let a few important people escape the pursuit of demons.
The reason why he did not leave is because based on the basic morality and conscience of human beings, he does not want to see so many innocent people fall victim to demons. In addition, one more nobleman would be able to destroy the plans of the Three Holy Baptists one more point.
Since the Three Holy Baptists wanted to recharge the Orb of Sin through the Guò "Crimson Hunt" ritual, Gordon had to try to prevent them from killing the nobles. Because the contradictions between the two sides have intensified to the point of irreconcilability, what can be done to combat and weaken the enemy, Gordon will definitely not hesitate to do it.
"Gordon, are you sure we can really retrace the ancient path and escape the pursuit of demons?" Ms. Bishop asked solemnly.
"I'm not sure. But now, do we have any better options? ”
"Let's just decide!" Viscount Grant slammed his huge fist on the table, "No matter how small the possible surname is, it's better than sitting here and waiting to die!" ”
……
Now that it has been decided to break through from the camp and enter the ancient path to get rid of the pursuit of the demon army, the subsequent planning and arrangement need to be carried out around this goal.
Gordon was a mage, not a military general, so he didn't participate much in the work of arranging troops, mobilizing troops, and boosting morale. All he needs to do is think about how to use spells to increase the success rate of his plan.
Ms. Bishop's makeshift group of mages consisted of fifteen people. Among them, Gordon and Dorne are the highest-ranking four-ring mages. There are three Mages of the Three Rings, including Sir Polivich, who has studied the Ancient Path and the history of the Kingdom of Sedin. Others are two-ring or one-ring mages.
The total number of people in the hunting camp is about eight hundred, and fifteen mages can be found, which is already a high percentage. This is largely due to the large concentration of a well-educated aristocratic population. If you count Earl Thompson's lineage, the number of mages will increase, and that's not counting those mage apprentices.
"Alright, everyone, first report the spell you remembered today, so that I can make a plan according to the actual situation." Gordon said.
In mage circles, the only factor that determines status is arcane attainments. Therefore, even though many mages are older than Gordon, after witnessing the strength shown by Gordon in last night's battle, there is no objection to this young mage taking the position of the head of the temporary mage group.
Generally speaking, mages would not easily inform others of the spell information they have prepared, but in today's grim situation, there is nothing to keep secret.
One by one, the mages reported the spells they had memorized. Gordon took a careful note. Most people's memories are very common attacks, protection, and control spells, but a three-ring mage named Bivis was an accident.
This mage, who is already over sixty years old and has a somewhat thin and obscene appearance, if he takes off his mage robe and puts on a melon skin hat and vest, he will be able to get rid of the image of an old master, and he said with some embarrassment: "Master Gordon, the three three-ring spells I remember are shrinking things, shrinking things, and shrinking things......"
