The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

There is one thing that no one realizes all the time.

Hecate already has a demigod-level body, and her speed and strength are beyond the reach of ordinary people. At the same time, she also has an extra weakness.A body that is sensitive to everything is equally sensitive to pain.

But just like the previous Hecate who was mortal but never afraid of death, now Hecate has to endure double the pain but never fears pain.She is always the one at the front of the line.

After living in a normal human society—to be honest, the battlefield is not a normal environment—after living for a while, Hecate on weekdays has already become able to communicate with ordinary people. What surprised Selene even more was that, Her personality can be considered lively and cheerful, and she can't see the gloomy look when she first met.However, Selene's surprise didn't last long, and she soon realized that it was just Hecate's self-taught means to protect himself in order to survive in Nagrand: like an animal exposed to a bow and arrow The cub, without a strong force to resist, tried its best to shrink its body so that the enemy could not find itself.

Freed from the tremendous pressure that Hussein put on her, Hecate slowly blended into ordinary people with her nature.

Of course, Gu Yinuo and Selene are the only ones who can see this "nature" in the entire army, as well as a few soldiers in the Guards who are more familiar with Hecate, soldiers in the Talis Alliance From their point of view, one of the most fortunate things in their life is to be in the same camp as Hecate.

Many soldiers in Talis agreed that if Hecate was one of their enemies, they would never have the courage to face it after the first battle.For a group of soldiers who were gradually honed into qualified fighters in the battle with the Leopard Head, this is really a high evaluation, not only limited to strength, but also the feeling she brought to them on the battlefield.

The soldiers of Talis would not know that Hecate was only shadowed by strange foreigners because of his childhood experience, and tried to avoid communicating with them and keep himself vigilant. Only Gu Yinuo got Sailor Nirvana's trust and at the same time became an exception for Hecate.

Hecate always silently expresses his meaning with his eyes and movements, shuttling through the front line like a ghost, many soldiers were rescued by Hecate at the critical moment, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, seeing Hecate's expression At that time, I was frightened into a cold sweat again.

The leopard-headed man that Selene and Hecate brought back from the half-orc camp became the best experiment. Gu Yinuo had him tie it to a strong wooden stake, and first shook it by its ear. After picking up the animal control bell, he found that its body was indeed frozen, and then slowly backed away until it almost disappeared from sight, then Gu Yinuo stopped, put away the bell and walked back to the wooden stake.

Without the control of the beast bell, the leopard head was restlessly trying to break free from the chains and stakes, and let out a low, hostile growl. Hecate walked over impatiently and stunned it with the scabbard of the crescent blade.

For Hecate's crisp movements and strength, applauses erupted from the surrounding soldiers.

In the past few days, Selene has also discovered that it is one thing for the soldiers of Talis to be afraid of Hecate, but another to fear Hecate. A trustworthy brave man will always establish prestige in the army.

"Beast-riding bells are also effective for half-orcs, probably because a large part of them are animals in essence." When the soldiers gathered to observe the leopard-headed man in a coma, Gu Yinuo told Selene about the experiment "And I don't know if that Gerrard will find out about this, and then attack the person holding the beast bell."

"So because they also have parts that don't belong to animals, the effect will be discounted?"

"Yes, based on the distance and effect just now, it is impossible to control all the half-orcs at the same time on the battlefield with this beast-riding bell alone, and the controlled part will not be like you and Hecate's Pegasus and Snow. Like a wolf, at most it’s a little slower and its strength is weakened. Also, when the time comes, the bell will rely on the spiritual energy I injected to exert its strength, and its reserves are very limited, and it is very likely that it will not be able to last a complete battle.”

"Even if you didn't know that there is such a thing as a beast-controlling bell before, Gerald will soon find out what we use. The bell is not like a magic spell that can be activated silently and hides the priest, so that the sound can be transmitted farther There is no way to hide it, and after hearing the sound of the bell, the strength of his team is weakened, and Gerrard should be able to quickly figure out the connection behind it."

"So where to put the bell in our team is still a question that needs to be studied." Gu Yinuo turned around and walked into the military tent as he said, wanting to get her topographic map and Selene's army deployment map, "If I'm not a remnant, I'm a Penglai person on the Far East mainland. Now go buy a hundred and eighty extra-large animal bells, and then surround and wipe out the entire camp of the half-orcs, and then bring Return with my unscathed team."

"If you can really go to the Far Eastern Continent, why don't you take the animal bell and a few pockets that make soldiers become soldiers?"

"The pockets are all ordinary pockets." Gu Yinuo sighed, "Those who know Taoism can sprinkle beans into soldiers. I think the safest way is to put the bell at the end of the team, on the archer middle."

"If we always use the safest way, we can spend more than ten years in this ghost place with that group of half-orcs." Selene immediately picked up a pen and crossed that position, "I think even if I use God The technique allows the sound to travel farther, and it is also a problem whether it can be heard by the half-orcs if it is placed among the archers."

"What is this ghost place, a few steps forward is your Nord Kingdom."

"Yeah, if this isn't my homeland, you'll hear me scold more hell." Selene looked up at Gu Yinuo. I was complacent about attacking, and I never thought that I would attack this place one day."

Hecate lifted the curtain of the military tent and walked in: "Have you discussed where to put it?"

"I think it's better to put it on Hecate." Gu Yinuo nodded seriously.

"Yes, let's put it on Hecate." Selene threw down the pen and paper, spread her hands and asked Gu Yinuo if the beast bell was coming, and looked at it for a while in her palm, "but Hecate is required to fight It is indeed too harsh to be able to free up your hands to ring the bell when you are alone."

"If you tell me that you are going to hang it around my neck with a rope, I will immediately refuse to carry it." Heka pulled a chair and sat down beside Selene, "It's better to let me take it with my hands Well, anyway, I used to use the crescent blade with one hand. The main reason is that the bell is too small and the shape is not easy to hold, so it accidentally dropped on the ground, right?"

"It's impossible for you to hang it around your neck. You move quickly without sloppy movement. The bell will not shake when it hangs on you. You have to find a way to shake it." Selene thought for a moment, and suddenly overturned the whole thing. After what I said just now, "Forget it, I will come and go to the front line to be in charge of this bell. If it doesn't work, I will use magic to escape."

"Then what am I doing?" Hecate pointed to himself.

"You are the same as usual—no, it's not the same, there is a very special task for you, in the next battle, don't care how many leopard-headed people you have killed, and don't join their team as usual Drill, you ride Little Silver, and then try your best to save those Talis soldiers who are fighting the leopard-headed people and are in a weak position, so that they can survive."

The half-orcs weakened by the beast bell, together with Hecate who is like a supervisor to protect the safety of training, Talis soldiers who have accumulated actual combat experience for a while.

So the border with Nord, the front line of the battle with the half-orcs, became a huge training ground for the Talis Alliance Army.

Hecate is undoubtedly the most dedicated protector. She can always detect where someone is in the most dangerous situation, and she can quickly take action at the most appropriate time, and will not delay saving others because of too much entanglement in a certain place , nor will the soldiers become dependent on her because they shot too early.

Hecate's speed is mainly reflected in short-distance bursts and quick body movements. She is still no match for Snow Wolf in such a long-distance running around on the battlefield. At the same time, she also realizes that among the Talis Alliance Army, the casualties are the smallest. The most important thing is the cavalry, especially the lancers, because the leopards are all infantry without exception, and they don't have weapons or shields. Most of them can't avoid the thrust of the lance under Gerard's command and charge.

It's just that they do have strong vitality. Hecate has personally seen a cavalryman stab a leopard-headed man five or six times, almost hitting the vital point every time, but the leopard-headed man suddenly grabbed the handle of the spear and threw the cavalry He was dragged off the horse, but luckily Hecate was nearby, so he had time to rush over to finish off the leopard-headed man.

Selene's plan is undoubtedly very thoughtful.The role of controlling the animal bell is really not great, and the time is still limited - Gu Yinuo's strength can go to the front line, but he becomes the target of the enemy's concentrated attack on the front line, and even Hecate does not guarantee that he will be able to retreat unscathed ——In short, Talis and the Alliance Army of the Guards Legion cannot directly defeat the leopard-headed man through the beast-riding bell, so it is better to sharpen the team while using the beast-riding bell to weaken the enemy and gain the upper hand.

Selene is also aware of her own selfishness: when she defeats the half-orcs and obtains the help of the Talis Alliance, most of the team will follow her to the land of the Nord Kingdom and accompany her Take back your homeland.
