Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It took two days to completely suppress the hunting fortress, and the road to the heart of Jeppen was opened. In the previous battle, a small number of Jeppen escaped through the back door of the Guò fortress. In order to prevent the rapid spread of the battle, Baron William sent a cavalry team to pursue him. They are joined by two Faceless Ones, who are skilled in the prophecy system and are best at finding specific targets.
On the other hand, from the mouths of the captives, information has been tortured. It is said that the main force of Jeppen's army is gathering, and the number will reach about 1,600. In fact, it is less than five days from Jeppen's royal capital to the hunting fortress. The reason for Jeppen's delay in the army was that he had to wait for British's support, and as a result, a lot of time was wasted.
Baron William guessed that Jeppen would send part of his army on a hurried march to the fortress to assist in the defense. These units are unable to carry heavy equipment and are very easy targets. With the cooperation of Valen and Rodney, four hundred Otlan soldiers set up an ambush circle. The relationship between not using all the manpower is due to the existence of the sacrificial sword and the arcane hunter, both of which are monsters with one as ten.
When moving in the mountains, the Arcane Hunter's cloak will also turn brown. They are like eerie shadows, taking on the role of scouts. As for the Sword of Sacrifice, it is a powerful pioneer. Whether it's a beast or an obstacle, the Sword of Sacrifice can be done in just three or two clicks.
In the end, the ambush soldiers occupied a road that Jepon's army had to pass through, and set up a pocket formation. The four Faceless Ones then cast spells, creating a white mist that covered a large area. These white fogs are very thin, but they can hinder enemy reconnaissance from a distance. At the same time, the surrounding laws of time and space were also disturbed, causing most of the prophecy spells to fail.
Take advantage of the gap between the two battles. Curt set out to deal with some troubles. On the night of the capture of the hunting fortress. Randall actually fell asleep outside the camp. As a result, she had a bad cold. I had to lie down and recuperate. With no chaplain connections, Randall had to rely on herbal medicine to alleviate his symptoms. The only people she knew were Curt and Kate Ran, but Kate Randale was obviously unable to make Randall feel happy to be taken care of.
So Curt was duty-bound to be a nanny, and he had nothing else to worry about anyway. The Otlan army was commanded by Baron William, and the army of Thousand Laws was commanded by Lanket and Hank. Both teams were moving in an orderly manner and coordinated with each other very smoothly.
Although Curt took Gordon and Cameron with his gang, as well as twenty mercenaries who wielded rifles. But his duty is to defend the camp, which is a Captain of the Guard. It seems that Eoham does not intend to put Curt on the front line. Face the risks head-on. He asked Curt to earn seniority so that he could be promoted to a higher position in the future.
In this regard, Curt can somewhat understand Ioham's painstaking efforts. From a parent's point of view, Ioham has done it with great care. From this, Curt deeply understood Lankate's situation, and realized how heavy the sentence 'I am not his son, you are'. If Curt were to be exchanged for Blue Kate, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to accept the fate of being a pawn for the rest of his life.
As for Randall, there is a kind of triumph of blessing in disguise. She and Curt don't get together much, and these two days are a rare day and night together. When it comes to treating friends and even lovers, Curt can be regarded as quite generous. So Randall recuperated and regained his own weight. It shows a kind of delicate cuteness. She would pester Curt to peel the thorn fruit for herself, and then happily eat several of them in one go.
Of course. In some ways, Curt is still powerless. So he hired two women who worked as logistics to help Randall get dressed. But what's worse is that Randall's condition is getting worse day by day. By the third day, she had burned to the point of delirium. Curt put his hand on Randall's forehead, and now Randall's temperature was dangerously high.
Curt was really anxious at this time, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. After using a spell to create ice cubes and using a towel to help Randall make a cold compress, Curt set off to find Blue Kate. He needed to return to the Shade Castle immediately, and then bring Ai Ye over and perform the healing spell on Randall.
What Curt didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he met Fana. Under Fana's questioning, Curt briefly explained the situation. Considering that Fana is also a powerful mage, Curt asked Fana by the way if she would be able to teleport remotely. As a result, Fana shook her head and said very seriously:
"I can't just cast a particularly powerful spell, that would be a burden on nature. For example, in Avalon, after my spells were consumed, the leylines near the city would be depleted and turned into a lifeless territory. ”
According to Fana, her spells would connect her to a source of magic called leylines. Therefore, the stronger the leyline, the more powerful the spells that Fana can cast. As a side effect, the land where the leylines are depleted will lose its vitality and will not be able to recover for decades or even centuries. The water from the wells will dry up or stink, and the land will be barren to the point where there is no grass. Even rivers can become muddy or even cut off.
When she was in Avalon, Fana, out of a strong sense of revenge, mobilized the power of the entire city, and even all the leylines within tens of miles of the vicinity. She asserted that Avalon would become an uninhabitable dead city, as if it had been corrupted by demons from the abyss.
"That's amazing. ”
Curt replied absentmindedly and wanted to leave. Fana's willingness to reveal the secret of her spell casting is clearly a sign of trust in Curt. But at this moment, Curt really didn't have the leisure to have a good discussion with Fana. He said hello and prepared to bypass Fana to find Lankate. But Fana reached out and blocked her way. She stared at Curt with bright red pupils, and said as if surprised:
"Is that woman named Randall important to you?"
"This ...... In many ways...... Sort of. ”
"What is it?"
"I'm hoping to come back and keep talking about it, because I don't know the answer myself. ”
Curt smiled wryly when he was questioned, feeling that Fana was a little unkind. Probably because of the long-term isolation, Fana doesn't seem to know how to prioritize things. So Curt pressed Fana's arm, ready to take her with him to find Blue Kate, and make some sophistication explanations on the way. However, Fana directly withdrew her hand, and she said expressionlessly:
"If it's just for healing, there's no need to be so troublesome. I know how to heal, and treating fever is just a matter of effort. ”
Curt thought about it for a few seconds and decided not to ignore Fana's wishes and give her some time to prove herself. Guided by Curt, Fana walked into the tent where Randall lived. She only glanced at Randall and stepped out.
Curt scratched his head, feeling a little inexplicable. Before he could go out to find Kate again, Fana walked in with a handful of dirt. She piled the dirt on the ground and compacted it into small pieces. Under Curt's attention, Fana said coldly:
"This woman has a bad fire disease, and at most she will burn out her brain, and she will not die. Since you're going to cure her, it's not a big deal. Go and prepare some clean cloth, preferably cotton. ”
With that, Fana pointed to the dirt and recited a few incantations. As she moved, the surface of the dirt cracked apart, and a dark red plant grew. The plant sprouted rapidly, grew, and finally spread out five or six branches when it reached a height of half a meter, and then blossomed and bore fruit. Its fruit looks like a strawberry, but it is ice blue. Fana found a basin of water from the side, picked a dozen or so fruits, threw them in, and crushed them in a teacup. Then she poured in water and stirred until the whole basin turned pale blue.
After the pomace in the water had settled, Fana scooped up half a glass of water and handed it to Curt and said:
"Feed her and drink it, and then feed it again in six hours. The remaining juice was applied to her forehead and the sides of her neck, and the fever quickly subsided. ”
Curt immediately complied, and he carefully picked up Randall and fed the potion into his chapped lips little by little. Although Randall was in a coma, he actually drank the potion very cooperatively. Her face immediately improved, and her expression soothed.
"That's really...... Sister?"
Curt looked up in surprise, wanting to praise Fana a few words. But he looked left and right, and now only himself and Randall were left in the room. Fana had said goodbye without saying goodbye, like a fresh breeze blowing through the woods.
This made Curt feel a little embarrassed, and he vaguely sensed that Fana was deeply upset that he valued Randall and ignored her.
From Curt's point of view, Randall is naturally far better than Fana in terms of the time of acquaintance. But from the perspective of blood, it seems that things are not so simple. He was really troubled, and finally decided to cure Randall's illness before making plans.
While Curt was struggling with some trivial matters, in the mountains more than ten miles away from the hunting fortress, the vanguard of Jeppen's army finally arrived. There were more than three hundred of them, with wagons full of military supplies. In King Jeppen's prediction, these soldiers were enough to help the Marquis of Roger Creek stabilize the situation, and more importantly, the morale of the army. When the British reinforcements arrived, the two countries would be able to join forces and strangle the armies of Otlan and Thousand Laws under the walls of the fortress.
King Jeppen even felt that he had a good chance to turn the tables. The army of the previous expedition to Otland was almost annihilated, and the Brillitarians lost fifty percent of their forces. Therefore, no matter how much pressure the Holy See exerted, King Jeppen did not dare to organize a second expedition.
Now that the enemy doesn't know what medicine he has taken wrong, he dares to run to attack a hunting fortress that has never fallen, which is naturally a good thing that he can't ask for. Delay, surprise attack, and then annihilation, this is King Jeppen's confident plan. (To be continued......)
