Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Chapter 148 The army sets out for battle

After the dwarves slaughtered the orcs, Bruno took out the magic props for communication. The halfling Regis who was far away in Dulin Town was awakened by Bruno in the middle of the night. The dwarves hoped to use the sociable halfling's mouth to bring the ten News spreads that the town is about to face an army of terrifying monsters.

"All the orcs, goblin tribes, and sub-giant tribes in the Spine of the World area have been united under a mage named Akal Kessell?" Regis asked in disbelief.

The dwarf's deep voice loomed in the magic crystal: "Yes, Imrik has used magic to find out all the memories of the frost giant. In addition to this monster army, the mage master also has extremely powerful magic."

"Speaking of this, I also have news." Regis said as if he had remembered something.

"Do you remember Hestaf? My spies told me that he led the people on the tundra to surrender to an unknown force. I am afraid he is the Akal Kessell you are talking about."

"They are preparing to attack the Ten-Towns," Regis continued. "The barbarians led by the one-eyed and strong chief have also joined their ranks!"

Wulfgar's face turned red with anger and embarrassment. His people actually fought alongside the orcs! He knew who Regis was talking about Hestaf, because Wulfgar belonged to the Elk Tribe and had once carried the standard beside Heefstad. Drizzt recalled the one-eyed king painfully. He placed a comforting hand on Wulfgar's shoulder.

"Go to Bryn Shander," Drizzt said. "Regis, you must warn humanity. They must unite to face this unprecedented disaster."

——

Akal Kessell is sitting in the Divination Hall, which is the room in the Magic Crystal Tower used to cast the powerful prophecy spells of broken magic crystals. It is located on the third floor of the Magic Crystal Tower.

His fingers drummed restlessly on the arms of the great throne as he looked intently into the dark mirror before him. Billin's report of reinforcements had been delayed, and the circumstances of the wizard's last summons to the subgiant's cave remained a mystery, for no one on the other side reacted to his answer. The mirror in the cave now showed only black, resisting the wizard's attempt to see the entire room.

If the mirror over there is broken, Kessell should be able to feel such changes in the vision. But the current situation is even more mysterious, because there is something that he cannot understand blocking his sight. It seems that there is something on the other side of the mirror that makes the prophecy spell of the broken magic crystal inaccessible.

This dilemma caused him to lose his composure and made him wonder whether he had been deceived or discovered. His fingers were still tapping anxiously.

"Maybe it's time to make a decision," Urtu suggested, standing next to the throne as usual.

"We haven't gathered all our strength yet!" Kessell retorted. "Many goblin tribes and a large tribe of giants are about to join. The barbarians are not ready yet."

"The troops are hungry for battle," Ertu noted. "They are already fighting each other. You will soon find your army disintegrating around you!"

Kessell agreed that keeping many goblin tribes together for long periods of time was a bold and dangerous approach. Perhaps it would be better to send them off immediately. But the Wizards hope to advance with greater certainty. He hopes to allow the army to attack when it is at its strongest.

"Where is Billin?" Kessell shouted. "Why doesn't it answer my call?"

He wiped the sweat from his face. Maybe the Crystal Shard and the Demon were right in telling him to send less conspicuous barbarians to the cave. What would those fishermen think if they discovered an unusual combination of monsters lurking in their area? How much could they have guessed?

Ertu noticed that Kessell's uneasiness was difficult to resolve. The demon and the Shattered Demon Crystal had already forced Kessell to attack as soon as the news of Bilin was cut off. But the cowardly wizard wanted to ensure that his army's numbers would be overwhelming, so he kept stalling.

"Do you want me to go to the army? With the white dragon "Icedeath" joining us, we have enough advantages." Ertu asked, knowing that this timid wizard had decided to back down from him.

"First send fast messengers to the barbarians and tribes that have not joined us," Kessell ordered. "Tell them that joining our troops means participating in the feast of victory! But those who don't join will fall in front of us! We will march tomorrow!"

Ertu rushed out of the magic crystal tower without hesitation, and the order to go out soon sounded throughout the huge camp. Goblins and giants ran around excitedly, tearing down tents and collecting supplies. They have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and now they don't want to waste time making final preparations.

The same night! Akar Kesso's army broke out of camp and began to march towards the Ten Towns.

In the pit that was originally the sub-giant's lair, the teleportation mirror was neither moved nor broken. It was just that when the broken magic crystal cast the prophecy spell, the direction of the mirror happened to be facing Imrik's figure.

——

Imric stood on the top of the Great Cone of Cairn, with the howling cold wind blowing past him and blowing up the large black mage robe. He squinted and looked into the distance, motionless.

The mage in the frost giant's memory, that purple crystal.

Imrik could see that all the spells cast by the mage were through the crystal in his hand. He was curious about what the purple crystal was, and whether the wizard's powerful power belonged to himself, or to the purple crystal. Crystalline?

Regis has informed the Ten Towns of the information. With the testimony of Imrik, a mage who once destroyed the barbarian army on the battlefield, the leaders of the Ten Towns were convinced this time and quickly mobilized all troops to attack Bryn Mountain. Germany gathers together, this will become the front line against the monster army.

Imrik was very cautious. He had to accurately measure the power of the mage. He was very greedy for the power of the purple crystal, but no mage could fight without certainty. He once used complex prophecy rituals, but he could not detect them at all. With too much detailed information about the purple crystal, we can only confirm that the name of the purple crystal is "Clinshinibon", an extremely evil artifact!

Therefore, Imric planned to use the power of the Ten Towns to eliminate the monster army. When all the mage's minions died, he would be alone. At that time, he would consider whether to advance or retreat.

"Here we come." Imrik looked into the distance indifferently, as if the scene was familiar to him three years ago.

In the distance, a large number of torches were connected like stars in the sky in the cold night. They were the army of monsters.

"Roar!!!"

A huge dragon roar came from the distance, and a huge old white dragon was spinning over the distant army. But what was even more terrifying was that Imrik felt an aura, an extremely evil and blasphemous aura, like The gathering of evil in this world is rapidly approaching.
