The cave wall suddenly cracked, and Doranor rushed to Reggie's side.
At the same time, Modesa, who followed closely behind, killed the two trolls closest to Reggie with a musket.
Reggie followed Doranor into the gap in the wall, and Modesa also chose to retreat after running out of bullets.
Snota wanted to rush into the crack to catch up, but Tortosa stopped him: "Idiot, do you want to be squeezed into a pulp?"
"What should we do? We can't let Reggie escape like this!" Snota was very respectful to Tortosa, and it seemed that Tortosa was superior to him.
"He has escaped," Tortosa sighed. "We should worry about ourselves. It seems we can't escape."
The mountain demons walked to the entrance of the cave and saw dozens of soldiers pointing muskets at them.
The mountain monsters knew the power of muskets. Snota wanted to lead everyone to escape, but Reggie shouted: "Don't move! Anyone who leaves here will die immediately. This is the only warning!"
Samantha closed her eyes and stood next to Tortosa like a clay sculpture. She was reporting to Dio in her heart. She had traveled around various countries for many years. She had experienced many wars and knew the current situation very well. Unless Dio
Come forward, otherwise they will have no chance of leaving alive.
Tortosa noticed something unusual about Samantha and immediately interrupted her spell: "What are you doing? What's the use of calling my brother here now?"
"We are about to die, and only Tulitu can save us!"
"If you're afraid of death, you shouldn't be here!"
"Of course I don't want to die with you, I followed Turitu's call!"
From the quarrel, Reggie got an important piece of information: Tortosa turned out to be Dio's sister. It seemed that Dio really cared about Reggie, and he actually let his sister lurk around Reggie, and even acted like a
I have been a maid for more than a year.
Although Dio's intentions are still unclear, Reggie doesn't want the conflict to escalate. He has always regarded the mountain monster as a friend, and the mountain monster has also fought for Shattered Snow City.
"Tortosa, if you are still willing to listen to me, let Dio come to me. I will wait for him here and let us resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible."
"It's impossible for my brother to come to see you," Tortosa shook his head. "His health is very bad, and I can't let him die in your hands."
"Is Dio injured? Does he need my medicine? Let him come over. I promise not to hurt him."
"I'm sorry, sir," Tortosa walked over slowly, "This all started with me, kill me, and then leave here, as if none of this happened."
Snota stepped forward and grabbed Tortosa, shouting at Reggie: "You can't kill our princess, we didn't hurt you!"
The mountain monsters began to get restless. They picked up their weapons and prepared to fight to the death. Modeza and Doranor were also ready for battle. Although their weapons were superior, if they were to fall into hand-to-hand combat, these soldiers were not the mountain monsters at all.
opponent.
Reggie had no choice but to kill all the mountain monsters before they approached. Seeing that a fierce battle was about to begin, a familiar horn sound came from the distant forest.
It was Laduca's horn. He rushed out of the forest riding a giant bear. His body was covered with scars from branches. A soldier nervously shot Laduca, and the bullet hit him.
It hit Laduca on the shoulder and knocked Laduca off the bear's back.
The soldiers' actions completely angered the mountain monster. They rushed towards Reggie with weapons raised. Laduca climbed up from the ground as quickly as possible. He ignored the injury on his shoulder and tried his best to resist the angry mountain monster:
"Kuluka, Tewaka, Tewasluna!" (Everyone, stop!)
The mountain monsters ignored Laduca's advice, and Reggie immediately gave the order to fire. Just as the soldiers were about to pull the trigger, a gust of wind suddenly hit, and the snow on the ground was swept into the air, blocking the sight of both parties.
Natalie rushed to Reggie, took off the necklace around her neck, and shouted to the mountain demon: "Tulitu Agaka, Sutabaika!" (Tulitu gave it to me at this time.
Yes, you should retreat immediately!)
The snow cleared and the trolls saw the necklace in Natalie's hand.
I really didn’t expect this necklace to be so powerful. The mountain monsters immediately put down their weapons and retreated to their original place. Laduca sat on the ground and panted for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Dioturi Tusaba Benna,
Sabapengwa." (Dio is coming)
Reggie asked Imma to treat Laduca's injuries. Imma said angrily: "Let him die! These ungrateful beasts!"
Snota shouted: "Who are you calling a beast? We helped you before!"
Camilla said: "So what if you helped us? Why did you want to capture our lord!"
Snowta said: "Because we also need your help. There are freezing demons that have sneaked into the Mountain of Death. They have joined forces with the rock demons. We can hardly resist it."
The Frost Demon has come to the Lost Mountain? Has the entire Bayer Kingdom been invaded by the Frost Demon?
Snowta didn't know what was happening in Bayer Country, but the Freeze Demon had already attacked the western slope of the Lost Mountain, and the Rock Demon was also constantly attacking underground. The Mountain Demon was already in a desperate situation of life and death.
This makes no sense. If the Frost Demon really captured the Bayer Country, there is no way that Han Maple Fortress would be unaware of it. Reggie asked the soldiers to wait where they were. He wanted to verify the accuracy of the news with Dio and the strange way the mountain demon acted.
Reggie couldn't believe any of their words anymore.
Modesa thinks this is too risky: "If more mountain monsters appear, I'm afraid we will be surrounded."
Reggie was also a little worried: "Let the soldiers guard the road, I want to see what Dio wants to do!"
Imma took out the bullet from Laduca's shoulder. The strong man fainted from the pain. Everyone waited in the snow for twenty minutes before Dio and his guards finally appeared in Reggie.
in front of.
Compared with a year ago, he looked much older, with various scars on his burly body, and little blood stains on the rough bandage.
He didn't dare to look directly into Reggie's eyes, apparently out of guilt. After being silent for a long time, Dio pointed to the cave: "Can we talk alone?"
Reggie nodded, and Modesa immediately stood beside Reggie: "If you want to go, you must take me with you."
The guard next to Dio also came up with a stone hammer: "Go to Wuka, pound Ka!" (Go away, barbarian!)
Reggie didn't want to be entangled with these scraps anymore. He took Modessa's musket, loaded the bullet, and said to Dio: "Just you and me, let's talk alone!"
The two entered the cave, and the fire inside was not extinguished. Dio added some firewood, sat tiredly by the fire, and said to Reggie: "I didn't want to kill you. If I really wanted to do that,
My sister can do it anytime."
"Great Tulitu," Reggie sneered, "do you mean I should thank you?"
"Don't be sarcastic. I know what shame is, and I don't dare to come to see you. But I need your help, so I can only ask my sister to invite you to the Mountain of Death."
"You call this a please?" Reggie threw a piece of firewood into the fire, "If you need my help, you can go to Broken Snow City to find me openly, instead of coercing me in this way!"
"Because you won't help me, so I can only do this."
"How do you know I won't help you? I saved your life and sent food to the Lost Mountain."
"What I want is not food, nor your magical medicine. I need your weapons, muskets and artillery, even a little black powder. The Mountain of the Lost is about to be lost."
"Is this why you coerced me?"
"I have no choice! Because you have never trusted us!" Dio raised his voice, "You treat us as monsters like demons. You kill my people, plunder my land, and treat us as monsters.
Blood demon, my ancestors have asked you for help, but every time they asked for help, they paid the price in blood!"
Reggie understood what Dio meant. When he said you, he was referring to humans. Dio's body was heaving violently. He took off a backpack from behind, which contained a purple drink, which smelled like wine.
Dio drank a large portion of it in one breath, wiped his mouth and said, "I know your weapons are very powerful and you can use them to conquer the entire continent. I know you don't want them to fall into my hands. I just want a little bit."
, a little bit is enough to let me survive this year,
Even if it's just this winter, when the ice and snow melt, when the moonlight illuminates my armor, when the flames rekindle in my chest, when the war drums of my ancestors ring through the sky, I will soar above the clouds and fight those evil creatures.
Turn into clay!"
Unexpectedly, Dio was still an artistic person, and even in such a state, he was still able to compose poems.
Reggie looked at the backpack in Dio's hand: "Is this Ricolu? Liquor made from Ricoca."
Dio smiled and said, "Want to drink a little?"
"If you don't mind."
Reggie took Dio's backpack and took a big sip. The wine made from mountain fruits was so strong that Reggie was caught off guard and almost vomited it out.
"No wonder Tortosa said that only the bravest Beggar can enjoy such a fine wine."
Reggie coughed for a while and put the backpack next to him: "Give this to me as compensation for tonight."
Dio looked at Reggie in surprise: "You don't hate me anymore?"
"I still hate you!" Reggie said angrily, "No matter how much you and your ancestors have suffered, it is not my fault! You threaten me with my life and want to ask for my help.
, do you think I’m really that kind!”
Dio sighed and said with a bitter smile: "It seems you won't lend me the weapon."
"Of course I won't lend it to you!" Reggie burped, as the mountain demon was a little drunk on strong wine, "because your people haven't learned how to use weapons."
In despair, Dio suddenly raised his head. What Reggie meant was different from what he imagined.
"My sister is already able to use muskets, and artillery should be similar to muskets..."
"Learning to shoot doesn't mean you can fight with a musket, and your sister will no longer listen to your orders."
Reggie took another sip of the Troll's strong wine, and he liked the taste a little.
"You gave Tortosa to me. She is my woman. No matter you or her, if you break your promise again, you will never get my help again."
"How are you going to... help me?"
"I want to help you fight," Reggie stood up unsteadily, "We don't have to wait for the ice and snow to melt, we can quickly turn these evil creatures into soil!"
