Chapter 60: The True Meaning of Barbecue

"How many more of you are besides Master Victor?" asked Clay.

"There are quite a few knights in the back......" Donner replied preemptively.

"How many knights are there, and who's leading the team?"

"It seems like a lot...... I don't know the leader, by the way, Master Victor seems to call him Kaz......"

"Crimson Knights?" Kelley glanced at the Arrahan mage, who nodded at her.

"Why are you here?" asked Master Arrahand.

"It's all the old immortal...... He forced us to go ahead, ah...... And said that there is no danger on the mountain, and we young people run fast...... I knew he wasn't a good guy...... There is no danger, why are so many knights following behind......" Wesley went into the show again. Seeing his tearful appearance, even the guards on the side suspected that if Master Victor appeared at this time, he might rush up and fight him.

"What a mess, you say!" said Corey to Donner.

"We are a youth reserve army...... Three days, oh no, it was four days ago, and Captain Kane asked us to cooperate with a strange mage, yes, that mage named Victor...... Then we were sent up the mountain......" Donner pretended to be scared.

"Do you know why I sent you up the mountain?" asked Corey continued.

"I secretly heard those knights say that they seem to be ambushing someone here, and besides, they seem to have been talking about the Celtic Archduke or something......"

When Curley heard Celtic's name, her face changed drastically, and she no longer continued to ask questions, but paced back and forth, obviously fighting fiercely in her heart.

Mage Arahan, who was idle on the side, casually picked up the magic spear that had been captured by the knights from the ground, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"My trekking poles. Donner hastened to reply, worried that Arrahand would see Mithril encased in dwarven steel on the handle of the magic spear.

Master Arrahan sneered, pouted, and said, "Such heavy trekking poles?"

"Actually...... It's a little invention of mine, and using it to grill game is a better way to control the heat...... "Donner adds.

"Interesting, how to use it?" Arrahand had seen the hare bones scattered on the ground, and was not suspicious of Donner's explanation, in fact, he himself was very fond of these interesting gizmos.

"The handle can be rotated and there is a vent on it that regulates the temperature of the flame. ”

Arrahand spun the handle and found the hole in it, but still couldn't figure out how to use it to adjust the temperature.

"I can show you how. Donner tried to keep his voice in check, not to appear overly agitated or nervous.

The Arrahan mage glanced at the guards beside him, who quickly untied Donner's bound hands, and he didn't think that this young magic apprentice would dare to act rashly in front of the powerful Arrahan mage.

Donner and Wesley were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and by common sense, they were only high-level magic apprentices.

So, in the eyes of the guard, the rope tied to the hands of the two little cubs was completely superfluous - everyone present could pinch them both to death at will.

As Donner reached out to take the barbecue-ready "trekking pole" from Master Arrahand, Wesley looked away deliberately, wondering if he was nervous or worried about laughing.

"After my research, the highest level of barbecue is to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside......" Donner said as he rubbed his magic wand.

Master Arrahan nodded appreciatively, clearly agreeing with Donner's point. Corey was still pacing, thinking about her next move, so she didn't care about the boring thing like barbecuing game.

"The peculiarity of my invention is that it cannot be neutralized with fire alone, but with water magic, and just like that, a small ice spear will do......," said Donner, "chanting a spell" as he embedded a three-element ice spear into the empty groove at the front of the handle.

"The idea is creative. Master Arrahan rubbed the sparse beard on his chin, and felt that the young man in front of him was very much to his liking.

Wesley no longer looked away, but lowered his head deeply, and if he had the heart, he could find that his shoulders were shaking slightly, and the guy couldn't bear to laugh hard. Fortunately, at this time, except for Corey, the guards and the Arrahan mage were all on Donner's "barbecue gun", and no one would pay attention to him.

"Now it's the point, my lord, you must be curious how you can adjust the heat with the smallest ice spear. This way, you can observe the process through the fire outlet, which is really amazing. Stand a little farther away and don't get hurt by the flames......"

Master Arrahan sneered and said, "Hmph, your flame can still hurt me?"

Then, without taking a step back, he squinted his left eye one step away from the "fire outlet", and took his right eye to seriously aim at the small hole the thickness of a finger.

"Witness the moment of miracle......" Donner whispered.

Bang, a miracle happened, but Master Arrahan didn't have a chance to see him, half of his head had been shattered, and his brains were splashing everywhere.

Curiosity killed Master Arahand.

Donner twisted the barrel of the gun and shot the guards who had just loosened the ties for him, and then the barrel of the gun was pointed directly at the stunned Ke Lei, shouting loudly: "Whoever dares to move, I will collapse her!"

Donner didn't know how important this female officer was to this army, and he had to gamble.

Luckily, no one dared to move, and he was right.

"So, there's no Victor Mage at all, right?" asked Ke Lei coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense! Loosen his rope!" Donner's magic gun was pointed firmly at Corey. Donner was worried that the other party would ruthlessly say something like "leave me alone", but fortunately, such a bloody thing didn't happen.

For a while, no one dared to move.

"Let me guess, it's just the two of you all along?" asked Clay.

Bang, Donner smashed the marching chair that was close to Corey with a single shot, and drank again: "Don't test my patience!"

This time, Ke Lei finally instinctively closed her eyes, and her delicate body trembled violently.

"Do as he says......" Ke Lei's voice was still cold, but it was not as firm as before.

The guards happily complied with the order, untying the rope from Wesley's hand, and then retreating enough distance to the sound of Donner's shouting.

The knights of the vanguard battalion who were on standby in the col immediately panicked when they heard the familiar sound of gunfire coming from the direction where the commander of the regiment was in the rear, and when they arrived, General Kelei had already been controlled by the two "little cubs" they had just captured. The mysterious and powerful Arrahan mage was left with only half a head left, and one of the guards died a miserable death.

They had to accept an unbelievable reality that the Blue Bird Mage was one of the two little ones.

"Fool, what are you doing in a daze! Go and tie her up!" Donner said viciously, glancing at Wesley.

"Don't take the opportunity to shoot...... Wesley said with a trembling voice as he picked up the rope from the ground.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I'll let you pay it back sooner or later. Donner said coldly.

Wesley dodged Donner's gun, ducked behind Clay, and tied her hands behind her back. Then, as if she was still a little uneasy, she tied her upper body tightly again.

Under his clumsy bondage skills, Corey's sexy body still presents a strange beauty, which matches the resolute expression on her beautiful face so perfectly.

"Did you mean to?" Donner couldn't help but ask Wesley.

"I didn't expect it to work so well. Wesley replied with a smile.

"Look at the mage, if there are any scrolls or something. Donna mouthed in the direction of Master Arrahand.

Wesley rummaged through it for a while, and sure enough, he pulled out a few scrolls and a small bag of magic crystals.

Ke Lei then woke up to the fact that the conflict between these two "little guys" just now was acted.

It was precisely because of the incompatibility between the two that she gave up the idea of suddenly taking control of Wesley.

was teased one after another, which made her, who was pretentious and smart, feel inexplicably ashamed.

"Let go of the regimental commander, and we'll let you go!" said an officer.

"Fart! you get out of the way for us, let us pass, and when we're safe, let her back. Wesley replied.

It was a marvelous scene, where Donner and Wesley stood, near the cliff path up the hill, and the Pioneer Camp knights crowded the spot where the Young Men had been ambushed. The two sides were at a stalemate, and the knights of the pioneer battalion were not willing to get out of the way, but they had no way to let it go, and more than seven hundred knights could not give up enough space at all.

Half an hour later, with the impasse still not resolved, Donner and Wesley made the strange but helpless decision to retreat up the mountain.

Wesley was in front, Donner dragged behind, keeping a distance to keep Curey in the middle, slowly moving along the cliffside of the treacherous path.

The knights of the Pioneer Battalion followed behind them.

For the next half a day, this strange team, in such a fixed formation, went all the way to the top of the mountain, and did not encounter a single living person during this period.

Wesley stood at the top of the hill, looked at the huge staircase at his feet, turned around and asked, "Why isn't there any?"

Ke Lei stalked her neck and looked away, her expression was like a heroine before she was about to die, but she may not really have such an awareness in her heart.

The fortifications here have been completed, and the people and coolies have naturally been transferred. The army of 4,000 men in the mountain battalion and the pioneer battalion went up the mountain one after another. The Third Army, which was preparing for a detour, was still pretending to be on the other side of the Gongta steppe. Of course, there is no one here.

"Is it good to send these people around, what about the others?" Wesley continued.

Ke Lei snorted coldly and remained silent.

"No matter, let's go down. Looking at the knights who kept coming behind him and kept their distance and didn't dare to approach, Donner immediately decided.

Wesley continued to lead the way, and Donner still lagged behind.

Wesley faced the direction of his pursuers, clasping his hands together and crawling on his back, occasionally shouting at his pursuers to keep their distance.

Donner dragged the gun with one hand and grasped the handrail with the other, walking extremely carefully.

Ke Lei was sandwiched between the two, and the distance between the front and back was enough to ensure that she did not dare to act rashly.

Two hours later, by the time I stepped on the ground, the sun had set, and there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sky, and darkness could envelop me at any moment.

"Find the rope and tie her all up!" Donner hurriedly shouted as soon as he stepped on the ground, not caring that his legs were weak and trembling.

There was still a lot of material on the ground that had been left behind the fortifications, and Wesley easily found the right rope to tie Corey's feet and legs together.

When he was almost tied, Donner twisted the muzzle of his gun, but instead of striking the knights who were descending the stairs, he aimed it at the foot of the great fortification.

He picked up the stout-looking pillar foot and fired, and after six or seven shots, some of the stairs began to shake continuously, and the knights who had all climbed the stairs suddenly panicked, and hugged the wooden frame beside them tightly one by one.

"Find a car, tie her up, and tow her away!" Donner shouted as he stepped back, his magic gun still firing.

After more than twenty shots, the huge fortifications finally collapsed and disintegrated little by little, and then the scale of the collapse grew larger and larger.

Knights continued to fall, falling into the rushing waters of the Ava River, and being crushed by the collapse of the fortifications.

Donner fired a few shots to make sure there were no more survivors, then turned and ran into the dark wilderness. Wesley, running beside him, dragged a cart that the men had brought to carry supplies.

Ke Lei, who was tied to the car, was in pain.
