At midnight, Tai Kadan put his shield at his feet, relaxed his arms a little, and looked to the south. Occasionally, there were strange lights flickering behind the horizon, illuminating the dim sky. The battlefield was not far from Chai Dui Town. He
Holding on to the city wall, he turned around and saw three wounded soldiers limping and talking outside the hospital door.
These wounded soldiers who were sent back to Chaidui Town basically had their limbs mutilated due to fighting. The spells to restore limbs can only be mastered by advanced spellcasters. Now the few advanced spellcasters in Chaidui Town are focused on the battlefield, so they can only let
These wounded soldiers returned to Chaidui Town to recuperate.
Ty Cardin was also considered a half-wounded person. Although his hands and feet were sound, his abilities were too poor, so he was assigned to Chai Dui Town to be responsible for vigil work on the city wall. There were only a dozen poorly trained soldiers with him, scattered here and there.
Everywhere on the city wall, whistles would be blown whenever the enemy was detected.
In fact, this kind of defense is better than nothing, because at this moment, almost all the people who can participate in the fighting in Chaidui Town have been mobilized. There are only a bunch of old, weak, women and children left in the town, and even farmers who only know how to hoe and dig soil have been dragged away.
Deliver logistics supplies and build temporary fortifications.
Tai Kadan also heard from the wounded soldiers who returned about the situation of the fighting outside. In fact, there were not many two sides arrayed and fighting face to face. Multiple defense lines had been deployed outside Chaidui Town. The specific situation of these ordinary soldiers was also
Don't even understand.
When the actual battle comes, magic vines are usually used to delay the enemy's formation, and then alchemical bombs and wands are used to launch an offensive, which can cause large casualties on the spot. Then the priests of the cult summon the Star Messengers, and the druids drive the Wicker Man.
Golems, or highly mobile psychic warriors, can be attacked by rangers from the flanks, and two or three waves of attacks can often collapse the opponent's morale.
Ordinary soldiers advance in an orderly manner, squeezing the weak points of the enemy array. Each squad uses magic items as cover and assistance, and can quickly tear apart the enemy array. But with the communication of communication items, it is different.
Teams and arrays can cooperate efficiently and quickly to destroy surrounded enemies.
Of course, Granfaz's army will not be cut down standing still. There are many strong and brave spirit guards among them, and they also know how to find weaknesses in the formation, and cooperate with their animal companions to launch charges and surprise attacks. The spirit of Granfaz
The messenger would also summon spirit monsters composed of dead branches and leaves and animal bones. Their sharp claws could easily tear apart iron armor and shields. The wounded soldiers with broken limbs were injured by such monsters.
However, generally speaking, such monsters are dealt with by cult priests or druids, and fire can restrain them very well. Some veterans from the Imperial Legion are experienced enough and can order the throwing of slag bombs in time.
Give your comrades a chance.
In short, Ty Cardin listened to the vivid stories of these wounded soldiers, and the high and excited morale seemed to completely overcome the pain of missing limbs. On the contrary, they felt that it was a pity that they could not continue to participate in the battle, and they did not think that Woodpile Town would be captured at all.
.
"How stupid. I cut off my hands and feet one by one, and I thought I would win." Ty Cardin yawned, mocking secretly in his heart.
After staying on guard until midnight, the battle on the other side of the horizon seemed to be over. Other soldiers came to take turns with Tai Kadan. He walked heavily, even if Gran Faz was about to enter the town, he planned to
Have a good sleep.
But the sound of insects gnawing in his head sounded again, and Ty Cardin's fatigue was swept away, and his body involuntarily walked towards the center of the town - where was the three-story altar of Dr. Olenso.
There is an open space around the three-story altar, with no lights, except for the faint light on the top of the altar. Although this is the center of Diedui Town, there have never been any soldiers guarding it.
A long cloth strip depicting strange runes was hung on the altar. The night wind blew gently, making a "swishing" sound as the cloth was rubbed.
At this moment, Dr. Olenso seemed not to be in the altar. Tai Kadan walked around the outside with a dull expression, his eyes scanning the rune patterns on the yellow and black cloth strips one by one, but there was no thought and judgment in his mind, only the sound of insects gnawing,
The length is uncertain.
Tai Kadan walked slowly and walked half a circle around the three-story altar. He suddenly became alert. When he turned his head, he saw Xiaomida standing in the distance holding a change of clothes, with silver light swirling in her eyes. She had something that was not consistent with her.
With his calm appearance due to his age, his eyes seemed to penetrate into Ty Cardin's skin and stare straight at the hidden insects.
Click, click, click...
The gnawing sounds in his skull suddenly became so intensive that Tai Kadan felt the tearing pain in his soul. Vicious thoughts filled his consciousness. He raised his hand and pulled out the short knife he carried with him, step by step.
Walk closer to Xiao Mida.
"Xiaomi Da, what are you doing here?" A nimble figure came next to the girl, with an orange braid dangling on her shoulders. It was the witch Shu Rui.
Xiaomida turned back and glanced at Shu Rui. She was quiet and well-behaved but did not reply. When she and the young witch looked at Tai Kadan, the insect sounds in her mind became a little more confusing, and she held the short knife in her backhand to cover it up.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a magical creature in Chaihei Town."
At this time, an old man's voice came with a curious tone, as if he appeared out of thin air. It attracted the three people present to look for the voice. An old mage with a long white beard played with the golden tube that tied the beard.
His eyes were focused on the long rune cloth of the three-story altar. He noticed the gazes of the three people and turned back with a kind smile.
"People who hold knives in the dead of night generally don't have good intentions." The old mage turned to Ty Cardin: "The most taboo thing about spying on intelligence is killing people and silencing them. The prophecy spell is enough to restore most murder scenes, and once someone kills someone, you can
There is no way to stay in Chai Dui Town and continue to spy on intelligence."
These words were half instructions and half warnings, which immediately made Tai Kadan's expression become strange. There was a foreign object squirming under his face, which was very strange.
"Oh? Is it a parasite? It uses the control of the host to spy on confidential information. Even the 'True Seeing Technique' can't see anything strange... Don't stare at me like that, I just read more books. Myconids in the Underdark
There is a similar approach. Once upon a time, a high-ranking mage went on an expedition to the Dark Territory, and was parasitized by myconid spores, and unknowingly became their agent on the surface." The old mage suddenly laughed and said: "As I get older, I am always used to recalling memories.
Thing of the past."
Tai Kadan's eyes were spinning wildly, and there were even worms crawling out of his nostrils. The old mage continued: "Don't worry, I won't report you. After all, I came here secretly to investigate the situation. If you turn around and leave, I will
Just pretend you didn't see anything. But if you want to take action, I can accompany you."
The gnawing sounds of insects slowed down. Ty Kadan looked at the witches Shu Rui and Xiao Mida, and saw that the little girl fell asleep at some point and was carried to the bench by the young witch.
"Do you want me to ask you to leave?" The young witch let Xiao Mida rest on her lap, gently combed the girl's hair with her fingers, and spoke without raising her head, with an unquestionable majesty in her tone.
Tai Kadan did not hesitate anymore, put away his dagger and turned around to run away, not even daring to stay and peek from a distance.
"I really didn't expect that 'Missile Queen' Mephistis would come to Woodpile Town so early. Is this your simulacrum? Or a clone? At least it's not a phantom spell..." The old mage
I pondered for a long time, seeming to be searching for clues from the massive memories.
The young witch whose identity was revealed raised her head. Her appearance had not changed at all, but her eyes had a mature charm that did not belong to this body.
"No need to waste your brains. I was inspired by the teachings of the three goddesses Freya. This is an aspect and a form of me. It is not a spell learned from any ancient book." The young witch said.
"The three goddesses Freya? A young girl, a pregnant woman and an old woman?" The old mage smiled: "This was once the most widespread belief in the northern part of Galard continent, even if the Holy Bishop would classify it as an evil paganism and spend nearly a thousand years on it.
Over the years, it was either annexed or destroyed, and eventually the Ci Ai Yuan was inevitably formed within the church. But now, the Ci Ai Yuan is about to separate from the church, and maybe one day the statues of the three goddesses will be erected again? "
"Shadovan, there is no need to show off your knowledge." The young witch chuckled: "And you haven't changed at all, you are still used to talking to yourself."
However, the legendary mage who heard this seemed to express it even harder: "If we follow the book "Re-understanding of the Faith of the Three Goddess" written by the 'Candle Sister', the three goddesses may be the original witches. And the image of the three goddesses is not only
It represents the life experience of women, and is also the three meanings of the past, present, and future. In addition, the belief in the three goddesses who weave destiny evolved in the southern part of Garad, and it has a certain relationship with prophetic magic...
By the way, you are able to appear here because you must have foreseen a critical enough future. The name 'Missile Queen' makes most mages think that you are good at missile spells, but in fact it is just a way for you to hide your true ability."
"So reading more is really beneficial." The young witch smiled.
The old mage asked: "Then what are the plans for Missile Queen to come here?"
The young witch asked back: "Shadovan, have psychic abilities aroused your interest? Don't you need help to break through the foggy sea? Behind that is the elven kingdom that your mysterious eyes have been thinking about. If you let the young people take the lead, they may not follow you.
This old bookworm shares knowledge and credit."
Shadovan said with a smile: "I have done what I need to do. As for psychic powers, I am indeed interested. But compared to the myconids and spider-men in the Dark Area, Dr. Olenso's in Chaihei Town is
There seems to be quite a difference in psychic abilities."
"oh?"
Shadowan looked around while searching for knowledge in his mind: "The basic logic of psychic powers is very pure, that is, 'self and not-self'. Based on my understanding of psychic creatures, they pay more attention to the inner world.
Thinking that the external environment is just an illusory illusion formed by cognitive aggregation.
But here in Chaidui Town... although there is also the cognition of 'me and not-self', it seems to pay more attention to the connection and transformation of 'me and not-self', and even implies the homogeneity of 'me and not-self'
.The psychic magic array in Chaidui Town is not so much a magic array as it is a kind of understanding and the projection of a pattern.
The Olenso doctor integrated his extraordinary will with the external environment, so he was able to gain considerable strength. But what kind of powerful soul does this kind of will need to support? No wonder he is considered a legendary psychic.
"
The young witch smiled and said: "I did not propose the theory of soul strength."
Shadovan was stunned for a moment, and said with a helpless expression: "Who told Mikosi to lay so many theoretical foundations for the Mysterious Eye? The title of 'Golden Wisdom' is not for nothing."
"Yes, the golden wisdom crucified by the spear of preaching." The young witch said while holding her chin.
Shadovan said: "There will be deviations in theory. I just understand that knowledge is endless, so I developed the 'Memory Library' spell."
"Then what did you learn here?" the young witch asked.
"You can't tell just by looking at it. It's too difficult to identify the magic circle. Unless I spend more than ten years here studying slowly, and it's best if Dr. Olanso allows me to obtain parts of the magic circle.
Permissions."
Shadovan turned to look at the young witch: "But this must be impossible. I guess that the magic circle authority will only be provided to the most loyal subordinates and followers. Moreover, the background of my mysterious eye also destined me to be impossible.
Stay here for a long time.
Is this also your intention? Come to Pile Town in advance as a special clone, and at the same time prevent other people from intervening."
"If you are willing to just go away, it will be good for everyone." The young witch touched the forehead of the sleeping Xiao Mida: "In contrast, I will cover up the fact that you have been here."
"Of course I'm not someone who gets into fights if we don't agree." Shadowan's figure gradually became transparent: "But I want to know what kind of future the Missile Queen foresees? Let's wait and see."
The words drifted away, and Shadovan completely disappeared without leaving even a trace of breath.
After a few breaths, there was a flash of silver light outside the Sanbu Eight Views Altar, and Xuan Weizi suddenly appeared here. He glanced around with suspicious eyes and saw Shu Rui and Xiao Mida sleeping on the bench.
"Wake up, if you want to sleep, go back to the house and sleep." Xuan Weizi shook the two of them awake.
"It's Dr. Olenso, ah-ha-" The young witch was drowsy and yawned for a long time.
Xiao Mida rubbed her eyes and looked around confusedly. Xuan Weizi saw her look like this and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"There was a man sneaking around outside the altar just now." Xiao Mida held Xuan Weizi's sleeve and walked to a distance, with Tai Kadan's appearance accompanying her telepathy.
Xuan Weizi smiled and caressed Xiao Mida's head, and said: "I know very well, just let him run wild for a few more days."
Xiao Mida nodded obediently, and Xuan Weizi said, "I have something here. You can keep it for me for a while."
Xuan Weizi took out a little gopher from his arms, curled it up into a ball of fur, and placed it in Xiao Mida's palm.
Xuan Weizi said: "You can usually try to communicate with it and tell me what you learn. Also remember to feed it to prevent it from starving to death."
Xiaomita put the little gopher into her pocket and replied very sensibly: "I know, I won't tell others."
"Very good, let's go and rest." Xuan Weizi watched Xiao Mida leave with the sleepy Shu Rui, but his eyes were on the back of the young witch, silently thinking.
