Mallory nodded: "It's the kind of magic bead you mentioned, there are a total of twelve of them here."

Minna gasped: "How can there be so many?!" ”

"Most of them were searched from various aristocratic families in the country, and it can be seen that the hand of the Demon Domain is stretched long enough, and every country has been infiltrated by them, in order to get these things, more than seventy percent of the hidden personnel of our security department have been exposed," Melori said regretfully, "There are also a few sent by the Weisha people, and the King of Weisha also paid a great price in order to find out the reason for the betrayal of his lords" He gently stroked the box: "The remaining ministers and troops of Weisha have withdrawn to the vicinity of Monri, And their little prince is now in exile in Shaonan, and our three countries have agreed that after the war, they will help the little prince rebuild Weisha."

Minna nodded, but felt a little strange, why did she help the little prince rebuild?

Before she could figure it out, Mallory had already told her plan: "The Nogga people sent information, saying that they found that the demonic beasts have a non-morning preference for this kind of magic bead, because devouring it can double their strength Unless the magic bead is sealed with a lead box, as long as it is not more than a hundred meters away, the demonic beast can detect its breath"

Minna remembered that before Sargent's tragic death, the magic bead that rolled down from his body to the ground did have a lot of attraction to the magic beast, and the magic beast that originally did not intend to hurt Sargent also attacked him unceremoniously after he smashed the magic bead, is this magic bead really so important to them?

She stared at the box: "You want to use these magic beads to attract demonic beasts into the magic array?" ”

Mallori nodded: "Now the monks of Van A are repairing the various magic arrays, we have made an appointment for a fixed time, and when the time comes, it will be activated uniformly, so that the entire magic array can come back to life and... It was with these beads that I attracted the demonic beasts scattered all over the world."

Minna was a little nervous: "How to attract?" Hold the beads and dangle them in front of them?! "That's too dangerous, isn't it?

Mallory smiled: "Of course it's to provoke them with bows and arrows, to lure them to attack, if they retreat, break a bead, with the breath of the magic bead to attract, they will definitely be fooled, no matter what, we won't let them really swallow these things" He pushed the box deeper into the cabinet again, locked the cabinet door and turned around: "Okay, these things will naturally be done by someone, I can help with some healing and detoxifying demons, although Shaonan sent a lot of magicians, but there is only one demon master, and the magic is no longer enough"

Minna hurriedly answered and took another look at the cabinet, and then went out to find the magic brewing room

She had to work alone, and when she had prepared enough for three hundred soldiers to use the Earth Magic Wing, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran outside to breathe, only to find that the central area was painted with a magic position, and the area had been cleared, and only one Monk of Light stood in the middle and put up a pergola with his forehand to look at the direction of the sun

What is this for? Minna was only two steps closer before being dragged back, turned her head and saw that it was Will, and he whispered: "Don't go over, the magic array is about to start."

Minna observed the ritual with some curiosity, only to see the monk watch the sun rise in the sky, so he took out a pocket watch and looked at it again, and then muttered something silently, and after a while, he poured the small half-bottle of the spring of life in his hand into the center of the magic position, and then quickly retreated to the edge of the land

A light wind suddenly rolled up on the surface of the magic array, and then a cloud of silver light rose from the center of the array, and then divided into six parts and spread in all directions, and every line of the magic position was gradually dyed with silver light, but it returned to calm in the next second, as if nothing had happened

Was this a success or a failure?

Minna didn't understand, but the monks were glad to report to Nornew and Mallory that they had succeeded, and Novard and Mallory whispered a few words, and the former announced in a loud voice: "The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth columns will set off at once, and proceed as planned!" There were a few voices from all sides: "It's Sir!" Minna was somewhat surprised to find that the captain of the third column was actually her father

She grabbed Will a little nervously and asked, "What are they going to do?" Dangerous or not?! ”

Will said, "Are you in your uncle?" Of course, there are dangers, but Uncle should be fine, they just go to a few places where monsters are often haunted to lure the enemy, we are used to it" He lowered his voice, "Did Mallory mention his plan?" It was truly remarkable, and several of the column commanders were well-known warriors, but the identity of the uncle was the most useful, and everyone was willing to obey his command when they heard that he was the son of Count Shaw."

Minna looked at the columnists wearing red cloaks, only to find that except for the two people she didn't know, the other two, one was Vasily and the other was Fez, both of whom had accumulated rich experience and performed well in the battle against the monsters, compared to her own father, who had never directly faced that terrible creature, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him

At this time, General Novold gave a few more orders: "The sixth and seventh columns are responsible for monitoring the battle situation on the hills on both sides, and once the demonic beast approaches, it will immediately send a signal!" The magicians stayed outside the town and stood by, and when they saw the signal, they were ready; The eighth and ninth columns were responsible for the evacuation of the remaining civilians and the reception! Tenth..."

Before he finished speaking, someone had already stood up and interrupted him: "General! Why didn't you assign me a task?! It was Yilu who said this, and he seemed to be very emotional at the moment, "I can also go and lure the enemy!" My riding and archery skills were honors for three years in a row when I was at the Noble Academy! ”

Novold frowned: "This is an order!" Count Cardo"

Elon waved his hand: "I don't think your order is fair!" Your Excellency, compared to Thomas, I have more strength, why don't you let me go?! Don't you trust me?! He pointed to the commander of the fourth column, a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face, "I beg your pardon for Thomas's injuries that have not healed, but I don't think he is suitable for this task!" Your Excellency General, he will drop his life on the way! And I—" he patted his chest, "and I'm the one who should go!" ”

Novard glared at him in displeasure, he didn't flinch that this was his chance, he had to prove that he was worthy of the title of Son of Xiao Tianjian instead of hiding behind the army and doing menial work, watching that wild seed become a hero with the help of some people!

General Novard was very dissatisfied with his words, and those who have no ability should not say big things! Elon Shaw, who has always avoided danger and is reluctant to participate in the war like other nobles, Cardo actually wants to participate in this mission?! What's the difference between this and sending his soldiers to their deaths?!

The scene was frozen for a while, but the people around him kept talking in private, some praised Elon for his courage, some thought he was incompetent, some thought he was worthy of being the son of Count Xiao, and some were mocking him for wanting to be in the limelight and going crazy

Captain Thomas, who was pointed at by him, and was also his adjutant, wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he shook his horse first, and the people behind him hurriedly helped him down, but the soldiers under him looked at each other, and glanced at the comrades of the three columns next to him, and began to look forward to what a glorious thing it would be if he was personally led by his superiors, who were descendants of Count Xiao

In the midst of this buzz, Mallory lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then approached General Novnew and whispered a few words in his ear, and the latter looked at him with wide eyes: "Are you serious?!" ”

"Of course, Your Excellency, it's clear that the soldiers are also like this, aren't they? Thomas was indeed too reluctant, he had taken care of us yesterday and he had recovered."

Norwald narrowed his eyes and stared at Yilu, "Count Cardo, I assume that you understand what kind of mission this is, how dangerous it is, and you are ready to sacrifice yourself at any time to complete the mission, is that right?!" ”

Elon shivered and hesitated, but the gaze from the opposite side made him quickly make a vow: "Of course! If I can't complete the task, I'll do it to you! After that, he glared at his brother opposite

An Long smiled bitterly and didn't say anything

The matter was settled, Elon quickly took the command flag from Thomas and ordered the soldiers of the fourth column to set off with him, he had studied the task of this column before, it was the least difficult, and it was also the closest to Sico, he was confident that he could successfully complete it

Even his own son can be in charge of Encore City alone, dealing with Warcraft, what is the difficulty of him being a column leader? He also has a rigorous military education and has held military ranks for more than twenty years!

The columns set off one after another, and Minna watched her father go away with some concern, and began to wonder if she should go and help? After all, he is more experienced with Warcraft

At this time, Will called "Chief" next to her, she looked back, and sure enough, it was Melori who came over and said to her: "I heard that you have made a lot of magic weapons, and you did a good job, but now we are going to retreat out of the town immediately, you clean up the magic room, and go with everyone."

"But," Minna looked in the direction the third column had left, "I want to help Daddy."

"Silly boy, what nonsense?!" Mallory glared at her, "You're not even sixteen!" Do what you have to do! ”

Minna shrunk her neck and hurriedly ran back to the magic room to clean up, and when she had scavenged all the magic materials or crucible bottles in the room, she went outside again, and found that the people had almost retreated Will was checking the list with several officers, confirming that there were no civilians left in the town, and when she looked back and saw her, she waved her hand: "Let's go, we are almost the last batch"

Minna looked around, and sure enough, there were empty houses everywhere, the doors and windows were wide open, the ground was full of debris, only the ground of the magic circle was clean, she tightened the cloak on her body, took the reins handed by Will, mounted her horse, and retreated to the edge of the town together

Looking back at the already empty town of Sico, she was a little sad: "Do you want to give up this place?" When the monsters are destroyed, what will become of this place? ”

"When the time comes, just rebuild it," Will said with a smile, "It's only been a hundred years since Sico was established."

Minna didn't say anything more, and not far from her, the last group of evacuated Sico residents gathered, and they all looked at their homes in the distance, and they all became sad, and one of them cried the loudest, and even the officers on Minna's side were shocked and frowned

The person next to him hurriedly persuaded him: "Why are you crying?" When the monster is dead, we can go back, didn't the general say? The state will pay for us to build a house."

"I'm not crying about this," the half-grown boy couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, "My brother... He went to be a guide... I know that he will not come back, and those who lure the enemy will not come back..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" The man hurried to stop him, but he spoke louder: "I'm not talking nonsense! I heard it with my own ears, they said that after the monster was lured, all the exits would be blocked, and in order not to make the monster suspicious, a few leaders would be left as bait to bring the monster to the right place, and my brother was also one of them! He's dead... Wow..."

Minna was shocked, and quickly turned her head to look at Melory halfway up the mountain, and saw that the latter frowned, held a telescope and looked into the distance, bit her lip, and ran over, ignoring Will's pursuit and obstruction behind her, rushed straight in front of him, and asked, "Did you arrange for my dad to be a bait?!" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Melori's eyes, but she still replied calmly: "Anlong is indeed one of them, and he has already agreed"

Minna mourned in her heart, remembering her mother who was still waiting for them, and said resentfully, "Why didn't you let me go?!" ”

"You're still a child" Mallory looked at her quietly, "Minna, I know you're angry and sad in your heart, but I have to do it, and the few people selected this time are capable enough to complete the task and have a higher chance of surviving than others" After a pause, he added: "Maybe except for your uncle, but his deputy is good"

Minna bit her lip, turned around and walked away, riding her horse in the direction of the town, Melori hurriedly shouted, "What are you going to do?!" ”

Minna took out the transformation demon and poured it down, pulled up her hat to cover her hair, and when she spoke again, she was already a teenager: "I'm going to deal with the monster!" I also think that compared to Uncle Anlong, Xiao Minte is the one who should go! ”

He rushed straight in the direction of the town, and in a few moments the first retreating soldiers appeared in his field of vision

(The most glorious moment of "Shawmint"'s life has arrived...) ）
