Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 126: Macabuda twenty-one

The big, heavy stuff like a sail is so conspicuous it's hard to miss, but there's just not enough time to tell which is a square sail and which is a jib -- so just a big enough piece of cloth is enough for Siegel Satisfied. The four strong orcs had come to carry the sails, and they were instructed to keep the sails at the stern where no one was going. Although they don't understand the meaning, their reverence for the mages allows them to execute orders accurately.

In addition to sails, other materials are needed to sail at sea, especially food and drinking water. The dock is only a maintenance dock, not an unloading dock. There are not many of these two things, but Siegel, who is sharp-eyed, found an interesting phenomenon: the cargo ship whose tail was burned was parked beside the galley, and there was no one on it. But the draught is deep. The mage immediately speculated that this might be a merchant ship that had been looted but had not yet had time to unload, and there should be something everyone needed in it.

Thinking of this, Siegel chanted a spell and used the sea water to cast spells. He chose to mix the power of the water element into the summoning giant squid spell, with a larger size and strength, but more fragile limbs. Contrary to the Mage's expectations, the squid summoned was much larger than expected, and the thickest part of the tentacles was almost the same as Siegel's waist.

This must be a good thing, especially for sabotaging cargo ships and moving supplies. Under Siegel's command, the giant squid slammed into the hull with its pointed tip, then pushed its tentacles through the cracks and ripped it hard. The wooden board was like a crispy biscuits under the action of its strange force, and a large hole was quickly torn out. The raven flew in from the hole, providing vision for the mage master. Most of the cargo hold was clothing fabrics, and even a few precious silks, which fetched good prices in the New World, but were not what Siegel needed. Ten sacks of turnips and shriveled apples aren't something orcs like, and they're all cheap for mages. There was not much rusk left, and the platter-sized hard cheese was badly spoiled by the orcs, but it could still be carried to the ship. It's a pity that there are not many leftovers of the original barrels of rum and brown ale. These could have been kept for a long time, enough to replace drinking water.

The huge squid stunned the refugees who were getting on the boat. They thought of the squid logo on Siegel's cape, so they immediately knelt down. "Saint of the Sea God," as they called Siegel. At other times, the giant squid would definitely scare a group of people to pieces, but now it has given these people great confidence. Some people organized themselves to help the squid carry the boxes, which greatly accelerated the overall progress.

Siegel looked into the city, staring at the locations of several shipyards. Unlike before, a black plume of smoke now rises there, thicker and darker than the surrounding night. This should be the method of alchemist Eric, using the purgatory mycelium to create a battle. In the haze, Siegel saw black figures emerging from the smoke, seemingly with four arms and a long face like a bird's beak. Due to the distance, more details cannot be seen.

On the other side of the city, the two shipyards visited by Siegel have been set on fire, and the mad fire wolf is more destructive than expected. If the mage's vision can penetrate the physical wall, he can see a stout flame python greedily eating flesh and blood on the stacked corpses. Even the fire wolf became part of the monster's body, and the metal liquid melted by the shipbuilding tools became the fire snake's armor.

When the black ship approached the berth, it was the time when the Three-Eyed Warlord Lunt was most furious. He blew the horn of command, and a loud voice spread throughout the city. Afterwards, his elite guards jumped onto the ground before they had completely landed, and quickly established their first position. A group of orcs and half-orcs controlled by resentful spirits rushed up, but before they could get close to the distance that the long sword could attack, they were chopped down by the huge hooked knife and the halberd. The flesh fell in pieces like harvested wheat, and then the resentful spirit came out, trying to pounce on the orc elite with its teeth and claws. But then the witch priest who appeared on the deck cast a spell, and a blood-red light curtain shrouded all the orcs on the ship. The wraiths tried in vain, and found that possession was impossible.

Then two giant slingshots walked out of the cabin, four meters tall. They are deformed mutants, with short, thick legs, much shorter than their normal counterparts, but their wingspans are not inferior. The Three-Eyed Warlord left these two giants for use as mobile trebuchets. But now they only need to use their human strength to help clear the debris of the dock, so that the follow-up troops can land as soon as possible.

Several horns sounded from the city, as if echoing the call of the Three Eyes. Units that do not answer will be hanged as deserters unless they fight to the death. Lunt sounded the horn again and ordered all troops to defend on the spot. If there are still orcs in the streets at this time, they will all be eliminated as enemies.

They went all the way to the temple dedicated to the Beastmaster, which is also the core of the entire Macabuda enchantment. Originally, there were two high-level one-eyed witch sacrifices in the city. One of them had been following Lonte all the time, and the other had just boarded the boat to report to him the strange things that had happened in the arena. As a result, there was no high-level witch sacrifice in the temple, so it could not play its true role. . Wraiths can pose a great threat, but their weaknesses are also very obvious. Once the magic of protection and possession is used to cover the city with the power of the enchantment, these undead will not be able to rise up.

"Send ten elite soldiers to the Haiyan Shipyard, execute all the escaped slaves, and take back the heads of the enemies I shot dead." Three-eyed Lunt said fiercely: "I will let the witch sacrifice curse his soul and let him die. There will be no peace!"

The Haiyan Shipyard has finished loading the ship, and Siegel is at the side of the ship instructing them to untie the cable and stow the anchor. It's still the easiest job, and they're still clumsy. It's not that you don't have enough strength to get the job done, but that you can't master the correct rhythm with too much effort. The tougher job is yet to come: the boat has a rudder hidden below the deck to help steer when using the oars. In the original design, the protection of arrows and bed crossbows was taken into account, so there was no observation window for the helmsman, but there was a narrow window under the angle of the bow. So there has to be one person navigating and the other at the helm. These two jobs are not easy, especially when they come up, they need to be squeezed out of the port by boat. As chaos spreads in the city, it is likely that residents will take refuge at sea. And since Siegel was not familiar with the waterways here, the night flight was likely to run into trouble.

For now, there is only one option. Siegel got the rope and locked the rudder, keeping it always in the center position. Then he went up to the deck and spread out the jibsails. This is a bow jib, well maintained, both the canvas and the lock. Originally, the ship was powered by square sails on the main mast, and the jib was used to improve maneuverability and assist balance, but with only the submast the ship's power and center of gravity were unbalanced, making the ship difficult to maneuver. It was also the first time that Siegel faced such a situation, and he could only rely on his own experience and ability to learn and adapt as quickly as possible.

The wind is blowing from land to sea tonight, which is very favorable for Siegel, but the tide is in the opposite direction. Siegel thought about the way the black ship had acted not long ago—it had just lowered its sails and moved on by inertia and the tide—and made a rough estimate of the speed of the current. In just a few more minutes, the last inhabitants would be on board, so Siegel sent Raven to inform Mana that the archer would return as soon as possible.

The magic pet faithfully carried out this order and flew to the rear of the port area. However, it found that the shooter was not alone, and the one-eyed father Feizak was also beside him. This loyal old spy had a feathered arrow stuck in his ankle, bleeding profusely, and the soles of his feet and calves were completely in two directions. He limped towards Mana, who hurried up and supported him.

"Escape, boy." Feizak said, "Go find a boat and escape to the sea, so that there is still a way to survive."

"Aren't you with the count, why are you here?"

"The dwarf and the alchemist are all in disguise, and they tricked the Count to go to the Temple of the Beastmaster." Fizac tried to move his pace, the blood running on his injured leg drew a long line behind him. "Don't ask the child any more, knowing too much is not good for you."

The female archer bit her lip, took a deep breath, and then lifted the old man's arm on her shoulders to help him share the weight as much as possible. "Don't say more, there is a ship ahead, you and I go up, and then go back to the south. Let's not mix things up here with the orcs."

After she finished speaking, she came in the direction of the galley with Feizak.

But unexpected chasers arrived. Not the elite guards of the Three-Eyed Warlord, nor the orc resident possessed by the spirit of evil, but the unremarkable dwarf in the ranks.

Geerbao is his name, but except when he shouted during the auction, he didn't say a word at other times, and was silent like a mute~www.readwn.com~ He always followed the alchemist silently. Later, help him organize various experimental materials and alchemy utensils. It was as if even his dog never barked, lying quietly, always looking like he was about to die.

But now the situation is very different. The dwarf was covered in blood, like it was drenched in blood from head to toe, and took a good bath. He held a dagger in one hand and the head of an orc in the other. As he walked forward, he used the dagger to cut off the skin of the orc's head piece by piece, and threw it on the ground, humming a light tune in his nose. And his pet dog followed quietly, constantly lowering his head to pick up the fallen flesh, chewing and swallowing it.

"Old man, why do you bother the lovely lady?" The dwarf said gloomily: "If you are deaf and blind, you don't know anything, and now you have boarded the ship that left here and flew away. But now you have to die. it's here."

When Feizak saw the dwarf appear, his heart went cold. As an experienced spy, he always felt that the earl, the alchemist and the dwarf were not normal. He patiently observed, and through the peephole in the grocery store, he finally discovered that the alchemist and the dwarf were both fakes, and had been using delicate human-skin masks to cover up their true faces.

He didn't know how his reconnaissance was discovered by them. The original mission to take Mana and Tim to the port to find a ship has been changed to create chaos in the city with the dwarf Gelbauer. He knew this was a sign that he was going to attack him, so he found an excuse to go to the toilet and escaped.

"Kill the old man, and then come back to us." The dwarf said to Mana: "The Red God will praise your loyalty and reward your behavior~www.readwn.com~Welcome to reading, the latest, The fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~www.readwn.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
