Chapter XI Special Assignments
While Suke was still resting in the town, about seventy kilometers west of Rob City, another story was unfolding.
There is a tall and magnificent iceberg, the altitude is not high, but it has been covered with snow all year round since its existence, and when viewed from afar on a sunny day with high sunshine, the pure white mountain is reflected in the sunshine, and the clouds and mist are even more dreamlike, just like looking at the fairyland that occasionally appears in the world.
The "Vimur Hus" iceberg has a winding mountain path, the mountain road is divided into two sections, one is wider, called the "valley road", located in the valley, on both sides of the slow ridge, often infested by ice wolves, and the other section hovers over the steep cliffs, called the "ring road", the road is narrow and undulating.
"The ring road is finished, throw them in the car and tie them up. If you dare to escape, hehe! It's useless to escape, you will be the bait to ensure our safe passage through the valley, you are destined to die here, and the snow wolves here will gnaw you to bones. A stout man with a hood and a tightly wrapped body seemed to be the captain of the entire convoy, shouting angrily and occasionally whipping the barefoot slaves on the ground with his leather whip.
The stout man was surrounded by a dozen men in the same costume, who seemed to be attendants, and they were busy tying up the poor slaves with frosted hemp ropes, and punching the uncooperative slaves fiercely.
Aisha was one of these slaves, she was in tattered clothes, her hands and feet were bruised, she was squatting in the snow and ice, regardless of whether it was cold or not, her eyes were bewildered and her face was dejected, and she was bound by the men, and she was still on the carriage, and she did not make a sound, like a silver carp waiting to die.
"Is this where my mother died?" Aisha finally burst into tears, she thought of her mother who was also taken away, and thought that she would have the same fate as her mother, and felt resentful and unwilling, but she had no power to resist, she could only be bullied, maybe only death could be freed.
The carriage procession continued to move, posing in the form of a long snake. The middle-aged man in the hood rode at the front, commanding the entire convoy, and judging by his arrogant tone and unbridled abuse, he knew that he did not do such a job.
......A long howl spread throughout the valley, followed by a wolf howl, and a strong snow wolf jumped out of the bunker, their eyes were fierce, baring their fangs, until the lead wolf gave an order, and hundreds of snow wolves swept like an avalanche.
"Quick, run faster, the back, throw a few down, delay the time. The captain at the front shouted, whipping the seated horse to make it run faster.
The horses dragging the cart also seemed to sense the danger, and they neighed and picked up speed.
A few poor slaves who had been thrown out of the carriage fell to the ground and rolled several laps on the ice before being overwhelmed by the wolves, who were bitten and devoured and let out heart-rending screams until the vicious snow wolves broke their necks.
The slave in the car looked gloomy, his face was like ashes, he knew that his death was coming, but he did not dare to resist, so he could only remain silent, for fear that he would be left behind.
Aisha lay on her side in the carriage, her eyes closed, waiting for her fate.
"I'm going to catch up, throw a few more. ”
"Don't ...... No...... Ahh
No matter how much the slaves pleaded, it was to no avail, and a few poor slaves were thrown out of the carriage and used as bait to delay the pursuit of the wolves.
The valley road is 20 kilometers long, and the convoy ran wildly all the way, and the wolves chased after each other, and started a long chase on this valley road.
At the other end of the valley road, a young man stood on a high ridge, wearing a black trench coat, a pair of long black leather boots at his feet, flowing black hair supporting a handsome face, a slender and heroic figure, and a cute flame-colored pattern kitten lying on his shoulder. "Climb over this mountain and we will be able to reach the destination of our mission!"
"Yes, but this iceberg is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, difficult to transport fortified equipment, difficult to supply grain and grass, we have also fought several times before, and in the end it ended in failure. ”
"Mr. Lista, can we complete the task with just a dozen of us?"
"No problem, I have been on several missions with Mr. Lista four years ago, and there is no need to doubt his strength. ”
"This is a special mission entrusted to Mr. Lista by Lord Handel City, and we can be sent together to carry out this mission, this is the recognition of Lord Handel City Lord for us!"
Standing on the valley road, there were also ten knights in armor, leggings and shoulder armor, cuirass and steel helmets, fully equipped, and a knight's long sword hanging from their waists.
"Alright, let's hurry, I want to finish this mission before tonight comes. At some point, the young man who was supposed to be standing on the ridge of the mountain was walking ahead of the crowd.
A knight chased after him and asked puzzledly, "Why are you in such a hurry? The deadline given to us by the city lord Handel is one week, and today is only the next day!"
"I have other important things to do, besides, would you like to spend the night on this iceberg?"
The knight scratched his head, but found that there was a steel helmet on his head, so he had to smile awkwardly, "Hey! Look at my head, it's just that no one else can turn faster, and I can't think of such a simple question." ”
The other knights caught up with him, laughed, and began to quicken his pace.
On the convoy side, the chase continues.
"Quick, pick up speed, rush over. ”
"With bows and arrows, bait is saved, and we will use it when we turn back. ”
"The bow and arrow missed, the bump was too bad, and there was no way to aim. ”
"It's okay to use bait and push a few more, this time the deal is in exchange for slaves, as long as we can get the goods safely, we will get more slaves. ”
"Okay! go down! hahaha......"
Several more slaves were brutally pushed off the carriage, broken on the ice and bleeding from their heads, and then bitten and eaten by wolves.
The convoy ran more than 10 kilometers, and the wolves still persevered, dragging the prey they got into the nest, and then led more wolves in pursuit.
More and more wolves were attacked from both sides, but very few were killed by bows and arrows.
"There's one ahead, shoot them with your bow and arrows, and then rush over. The captain of the convoy gave the order, took the lead in raising the longbow, took out three arrows, pulled the strings with arrows, and swished, but unfortunately the posture was quite large, but the battle achievements were few, and none of them were shot.
The besieged convoy began to be overwhelmed, the last two carriages were cut with the connecting ropes, the attendants in charge began to flee for their lives on the horses that had thrown away their burdens, the abandoned carriages fell on the ice track, rolling and whirling, and the slaves sitting on them were thrown out in an instant like scattered flowers, and the wolves swarmed up and swallowed them.
"No, I can't hold on. Two more wagons besieged by wolves cut the ropes, and at this point, all the wagons carrying the slaves broke down, and Aisha was on top of one of them.
"Is my pain coming to an end? Great, so I can see my mom and dad. Thrown into the air, Aisha's eyes swept through the corners of her eyes, scattering into the air, as clear as pearls. She greeted death with a smile on her face. Thrown heavily on the ice, the wolves lunged on her, drowning her.
"Dance of the Blades"
Swish...... Swish...... Swish...... Several wind blades suddenly appeared, fell from the sky, and slashed at the snow wolves who pounced on the crowd, and several snow wolves died on the spot, blood splattered, and the internal organs of the stumps spilled out, dyeing the snow and ice surface bright red.
Several of the saved slaves looked to the sky, only to see a handsome young man riding through the air, and with lightning speed, he shot at the snow wolf that was biting the crowd.
I saw that his face was cold, and he despised everything like a king in the world, and he held a boring knife in his hand, and his movements were as swift as lightning, with a trace of afterimage, and everywhere he passed was like a razor mowing grass, and the snow wolves were all cut in two, and none of them were spared.
When that was done, Lista stood beside Aisha, looking at her mangled body. Her body was already a blur of flesh and blood, and there were several lacerations all over her body, the most serious of which was four holes in her neck that had been bitten by sharp teeth, and blood flowed out in a gushing shape, apparently biting the major artery in her neck.
"Smiles and tears, what's the matter??," said Lista, holding the dying Aisha, mockingly.
"Wind dance, scattering. ”
Lista swung the boring knife in his hand, and with a trace of afterimage, he struck countless small wind blades in all directions.
The wind blade was like the sharp teeth of a beast, tearing the snow wolf that pounced on it into wounds one after another, and in an instant, the red blood mist drifted away, and the snow wolf's wail was endless.
"I'm not a good person who helps the world, but I decided to save you today, just because I ......" Lista bit the boring knife on his mouth, and then stretched out his right hand, only to see that the air began to ripple, like a lake that has been broken calm, wave after wave, spreading outward in a circle, and then, a halberd about two meters long appeared out of thin air in his right hand.
The shape of the war halberd is very similar to Fang Tian's painting halberd, the whole body is carved with rune subtitles of various shapes, and the end of its handle is inlaid with a blue crystal that has been polished to an extremely sharp point, and the blade is polished so that the cold light penetrates, and ordinary people will be afraid as long as they look at it.
"Resurrection. Lista inserted the end of the halberd into the ice, and suddenly the entire halberd began to glow blue, and there seemed to be a blue liquid overflowing from the crack in the ice, flowing on the ice surface, forming a strange circular pattern.
Aisha's body began to float, face up, limbs hanging down, and a soft blue glow began to radiate from the magic circle, swimming over the wound, and in a few moments, the wound began to heal.
The "Wind Barrier" Lista set up a barrier outside the Resurrection Array, covering the entire Resurrection Array in it to prevent the Snow Wolf from rushing into the formation and taking Aisha away.
