Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Ice Temple
Looking at the fog behind him, Delin breathed a long sigh of relief, according to Xiaobai's reconnaissance, they were already less than 200 meters away from the closest distance of the undead army, but I don't know why the undead army did not break out of the fog, which allowed Delin and them to get valuable rest. On the other hand, Delin was also keeping a close eye on Milanger's movements, and they had set off shortly after their departure, heading towards the southern end of the Misty Canyon, with the self-evident purpose of being themselves, but they had to walk more than 20 kilometers more.
Glancing at the resting group, Delin noticed that Brix was taking care of his dagger, and that Cuckoo was gone. He was no stranger to this, since the last time the two of them had talked in the carriage, he had ignored his presence, but Delin had always kept a close eye on Brix's every move, because as long as Brix was in his hands, it was equivalent to grabbing the cuckoo's most fragile tail.
In the center of the Misty Canyon, the fog here has turned gray, and the blood stains on the ground have dried up due to the heavy moisture, but they still remain in a relatively fresh state, which makes people shudder. However, the people who can come here are destined to be strong people, so naturally they will not be frightened.
Many of the dark shadows were hidden in the mist, standing on the ground or floating in the air, and in order to cause unnecessary trouble, they all restrained their breath well. All eyes were on the chilly hall.
"How dare you bring him here, should I say you're bold, or don't you want to die?" Cuckoo suddenly appeared next to a sturdy figure. Breno turned his head to look at the cuckoo.
"As a warrior, you naturally have to have fearless courage, unlike you, who taught a good person to be a shady guy who only pokes other people's asses secretly. As soon as the man spoke, he began to mock the cuckoo mercilessly.
"Hmph, I hope you'll have time to protect him later!" Cuckoo's face was hidden in the fog, making it difficult to see, but certainly not pretty. Cuckoo had to admit that Brenaud was much better than Brix now, both in terms of personal strength and scheming, as well as the forces they controlled.
"He doesn't need protection! I haven't given him any protection over the years, everything about him is his own. You treat him as a treasure, what? Haven't you gotten a little bit of the arrogant aristocratic atmosphere now?" Strong muscles, rough face, and short beard like steel needles all reflect his identity as a tough warrior. "Let me tell you, he didn't accept it at first, and after being beaten a few times by me, he learned to be obedient. ”
Breno listened, the expression on his face a little dumbfounded.
"This time the situation is a bit complicated, those dead bones used a so-called treasure map to deceive so many people, it is estimated that some evil spell was used, and the lives of those people were used to open the seal in advance, which was beyond everyone's expectations, I hope no accidents will happen. Cuckoo once again focused his attention on the main hall.
"Something will happen. Maybe it's already happening, and it's a mistake for us to be here. "The warrior didn't have the slightest chance to do it.
"Impossible! If the Frost Sanctuary is not opened, no one will be able to enter, and no one will be able to enter it by space jumping or void walking. Cuckoo said firmly.
"Really, don't you think there's a little too many people here now?" said the warrior, glancing around.
Only then did Cuckoo notice that the people around him had broken through twenty or thirty, but there were not so many people around Leah City who were qualified to participate in this matter!
At this time, the main hall had begun to tremble slightly, and the cold ice on the gate had begun to shatter continuously, and then a thin crack was revealed, and gradually expanded! The biting cold air made the surrounding fog continue to condense into fine ice particles, and the surrounding vision gradually opened up, and the figure hidden in the mist gradually revealed.
"Let's go!" the warrior didn't hesitate, grabbed Brenaud and quickly fled into the distance, a few flickering, and disappeared into the mist. Cuckoo is much calmer, because he is a thief! Whether you are a mage or a necromancer, you are like a natural enemy. However, all the cuckoo can do is take a look. It is also a one-on-one situation if it is said to be a natural enemy, no tiger can single out the wolves, and the cuckoo will not think of rushing up to take on a group of skeletons. His figure faded in place, disappearing for a moment.
"Why don't you kill them? A black-robed voice sounded.
"Why don't you go after them?" replied in a black robe, and more black robes chose to ignore it.
"Okay, forget about them, let's talk about the next thing. ”
......
After more than two hours of rest, Delin and his party recovered a lot of physical strength. However, Kate reported a new problem, their horses had lost a lot on the road, and now, they could barely ride one person, including wounded horses. But they had to leave now, because the men led by Milanger had already taken care of them less than 5 kilometers away, and if they were any closer, the other side could bite them tightly.
Mungo was leading the cavalry at the front, Punk was walking behind the infantry with his own personal cavalry, and Milanger followed him quietly, having been hit hard by yesterday's defeat. One of the cavalry guards told the punk that someone was rapidly approaching. Punk halted his horses, and when he looked behind, a heroic figure was waving at them.
"Your Highness. Punk and Milanger saluted Brenaud.
"Don't be so polite. Milanger, how do you feel? Oh what's the catch?" Breno glanced at Milaneger, who had become taciturn, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued, "Yesterday I met that Delin in the Misty Canyon, and he said that you are very talented and have no one in your eyes. I told him that you wouldn't let him down. I hope you're going to cheer up, you know? Eagles are animals that have their wings broken by their parents before they learn to fly, and then they're thrown off a cliff. If it can't bear to fly, it will fall to pieces. I hope you can cheer up. ”
"I ...... Thank you, Your Highness!" Miranger's heart burned again. At this moment, he was very grateful to Breno in his heart, but more than that, it was Delin's mocking face, remembering Delin's disdainful eyes after he finished talking about spending 10 million gold coins. "Your Highness, please give me another chance, I will definitely let him die an ugly death!"
"No, no, no, don't you think he's a good fit to be your partner, his unexpected ideas and determination are exactly what you lack, and he's a magician with great potential. There's one thing you may not believe, so far, they don't know what they're fighting for. But I didn't tell him to see what kind of surprise he could bring me. Brenaud said happily, as if he had found a prey he liked.
Hearing this, the flame of revenge in Milongel's heart was like a basin of cold water poured on the cold wind, first ruthlessly extinguished, and then even the firewood below was frozen, whether it was willing or unwilling, but the heart of comparison rose quickly, and he wanted to prove his worth, prove that he was stronger than Delin, much stronger. Although Breno has been saying that they are friends, but, after yesterday's blow, he has come out of that innocent fantasy, reality is reality and does not change according to your ideas. After thinking about it last night, he found that his previous performance in front of Brenaud was too bad, and if he stood in his position, he would probably abandon such a superior and humble subordinate, not to mention that he had just done his own good deeds.
Punk smiled when he heard the news, he didn't want to face Delin on the battlefield, but if it was a game, it didn't matter.
"I see. I want to regain command again. Milanger said, looking at Brenaud wistfully.
"No problem, but after Mongo's setback. The game has its rules. In fact, the next round should be punk. Breno looked at Punk, "You wouldn't mind, would you?"
"No, I'm not interested in tactics and I don't need to think about that in the future. "Punk doesn't matter.
"Let's go, now that I'm done, I'll always be with you, but I won't take part in the battle myself, so it's no fun. "Brenaud stepped on a horse and walked in front.
In the twilight, Delin's camp was built on a treeless hillside, which had a good view and was also conducive to cavalry charges. Hundreds of meters away, Delin's Tang knife was pulled out of the back of a thief and wiped clean on his corpse, the third scout to die at his hands. In order to continue to wear down the enemy's advantage, Delin and Kate agreed that in line with the principle of more work for those who can do more, he, Qianglu, Brix, Cuckoo and other thieves began to hunt down the enemy's scouts or thieves continuously, with Xiaobai's guidance, their actions were quite effective, and in one afternoon, more than 30 thieves had died at their hands, plus more than a dozen things flying over their heads, no matter what it was, it was impossible to escape Qianglu's sharp arrows. During the whole process, Cuckoo did not show the strength he should have, but Brix shined, and half of the thieves fell under his dagger.
Delin discovers that many of Bricks' faults that are not thieves have changed, and he is thinking about a real thief. He seemed to be stimulated by something, but it was a joy to have a capable subordinate.
Delin knew that his intentions would soon be discovered by the opponent, and then a battle would ensue, and it was unlikely that the enemy would allow himself to accumulate an advantage over him slowly, and he would not be able to change himself.
"Young Master, will we win?" asked Jamili softly as she leaned over Delin's side.
"Yes. Delin's answer was in the affirmative.
"Why?"
"Because we ...... Gotta win!" Delin's eyes were fixed on the last bit of sunset.
Jamiri could feel the helplessness in his tone, and her heart was full of pain, why did the young master have to go through so much pain?
