Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); The Elf patrol appeared on the Ore Avenue at the same time that afternoon, with the same lineup as yesterday. To avoid attracting their attention, Siegel and Manna watched from a distance with the help of invisibility. The two hid behind a huge rock and did not communicate at all.

The ancient war tree was walking slowly, carrying three rangers on their backs, each guarding different directions. A black bear followed the tree, and Siegel pointed out that it was transformed by the druid of the elves. High in the sky, two falcons patrolled back and forth, chirping loudly from time to time. It is too difficult to sneak attack in this situation.

"There is nowhere to hide in a radius of ten miles. The birds in the sky will definitely find us in advance." They watched the elf walk past and observed it again when it returned. Mana said: "Even if you charge on horseback, it will not achieve the effect of a surprise attack at all. The elven archer can shoot three or four arrows before we get close. So after a few rounds, there are only two or three horses left to get close to the enemy, which is completely It doesn't work."

After thinking about it, she asked Siegel: "Lord Lord, can't you cast magic?"

"I have my own considerations. This time I have to pretend that no mages are involved in order to better involve the Knox Common Council, so I can't use magic no matter what." Siegel is not unacceptable, said: "If it doesn't work, look for other opportunities."

Mana thought for a moment, then shook her head. "If the elves always deploy patrols like this, then they will always have the advantage of reconnaissance, and it will be the same wherever they go. But I have a way to shorten the distance between everyone and the elves, but it is more risky."

"Tell me."

Mana's solution was to put on a play for the elves. The ten knights were divided into two and eight groups, and the eight besieged Mana and the other two knights. The elves can find the scene of the battle from a distance, and they are likely to approach the battlefield carefully, and even try to save the "poor woman" Mana. At this time, everyone will raid the elves together, and maybe they will achieve good results.

Siegel firmly opposed it.

There are too many loopholes in this plan. What if the elves stop in the distance and just watch, let everyone keep fighting? Clearly flawed. Even if the elves tried to rescue Mana, they would shoot arrows at the besiegers from a distance. Could it be that he watched his companion die under the longbow? The elves are also masters of martial arts, and Siegel's knights are not professional actors, and the possibility of their "play" being dismantled is too great.

"There is another way." Mana was not in a hurry, and said to Siegel: "Unless we can lead the elves to leave the Ore Avenue. Let them advance to the City Wall Mountains. Only on the mountain will we have enough shelter. The only uncertainty , will the elves go up the mountain?"

"This method would have been fine at other times, but it doesn't work now," Siegel explained. "So far, the elves have ignored the chain of human castles on the Walled Mountains. But that doesn't mean they didn't notice it. If we rely on the dwarves' city walls and mountains, whether it is provocation or an actual attack, it is possible for the elves to make up their minds, and they would rather risk offending the dwarves and clean up the castle on the mountain. In this way, the trade route we have just opened up will be lost. It doesn't make sense anymore."

Mana was lost in thought, if only there was a better way.

The surrounding terrain is very unfavorable, and the elves are well trained and have an advantage in weapon range.

"I have a way, maybe I can reduce the detective ability of the elves." Siegel said: "You lay in ambush. I try to shoot the falcon with the longbow?"

Mana shook her head and said to Siegel: "Lord Lord, I know your swordsmanship is good, but without magic, how good is your archery? Falcons are hard to hit, and the uncertainty of this method is still too great."

"Then there is only a strong attack?"

"That's the only way to do it," Mana said.

"Let me think again." Siegel still didn't give up.

The female knight nodded. She knew the Lord's good intentions and hoped to reduce casualties as much as possible, and she also had the same desire. But in times of war, there is not always a solution. When she used to be a mercenary, she had heard from her companions that when faced with danger, the leader would send death squads forward. Kill a **** way.

The mercenary is still like this, and the knight will not be ambiguous. Bravery and sacrifice are part of chivalry, and now is the time to fulfill your promise. Although Siegel was still frowning in thought, Manna had begun to gather her men. Carry out training.

In the evening, they had a good meal, fed themselves and their mounts, and then began to sharpen their weapons. In the process of charging, in addition to the shield, only the long sword in his hand can push away the arrows. The elf's arrows are fast and tricky. Wanting to block is a technical job. Everyone just asks not to be shot at the key points, not to be shot by the mounts, so that they can get close and attack.

They went to bed early, so that they could refresh themselves and wait for tomorrow's battle. Siegel stayed up all night, trying to figure out what to do. In this battle, he set too many rules and restrictions for himself, like tying his hands and feet, so it was extra awkward. He really envied those who had no restraints and could let go of their actions regardless of the consequences.

They began to move in the early morning, heading east in the direction of the elves. The sooner this is resolved, the later the elf camp will find out, and the farther they will be able to run. Towards noon, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, as if a blizzard was brewing. The majestic Walled Mountains stood dark and ominous beneath the dark clouds.

The gloomy wind was blowing straight into the neck, and the knights who took off their armor could just wear an extra layer of thick clothes, and they wouldn't feel too uncomfortable. They looked up at the dome. The black clouds were moving very fast, and the wind was increasing like a raging tide.

"This is a good thing!" Mana said, "Such a strong wind will affect the flight of the falcon!"

Siegel nodded and prayed silently. Even if he knew that there would be no answer from the gods, he would still do everything possible to bless his knights. After a while, a large piece of snow fell from the sky, almost smashed horizontally under the rolling of the wind, and randomly slapped on everyone's face. The warhorse grunted uncomfortably and shook its head back and forth, shaking with its mane.

The line of sight was blocked, and the weather was so bad, I wonder if the elves would appear. With a flash of inspiration, Siegel slumped down, ignoring the snow and ice on the ground. The ore road is a hard road made of gravel and slag, and the sound of footsteps in the distance can be heard.

Especially when the elf carries a big guy like the ancient war tree.

The snow kept falling, but it didn't fill the ground very quickly under the swirl of strong winds. Siegel knelt on the ground. His ears were pressed against the ground, and he only hoped that the elf would appear "as promised". His heart was pounding, and he mistakenly thought it was the voice of the ancient war tree, and almost shouted out excitedly. Fortunately, the cold made him wake up quickly. There is no miscalculation.

Although romantic and free, elves obey military orders and keep patrolling in this bad weather. The sound of heavy footsteps finally came - definitely not a heartbeat this time.

"Get ready, we will win!" Siegel told everyone.

This unexpected weather provided the knights with the coveted concealment, which was seen as the blessing and triumphant smile of the warrior god. The moment it starts to snow. The knights acted immediately, wrapping the horse's hooves with cloth and tying the horse's mouth. The opportunity to have a sneak attack made everyone excited, and morale was even higher. They had long been lying on their horses, ready to attack.

"Remember, the ancient war tree of the elves is the first target, and can even be the only target when necessary." Siegel pointed to the crossbow and the magazine. "Experimenting with weapons is the purpose of this battle."

Everyone nodded, then swallowed the delayed-onset poison. With a wave of Mana's hand, the knights began to walk carefully and slowly along the ore boulevard.

Their speed slowly increased. Their figures gradually disappeared. The wind and snow rolled, covering up all traces. Siegel wondered what was going on, but couldn't see very far in this environment without magic.

Soon, the strong wind brought the sound of hoofs, followed by the cries of knights and the roar of the ancient trees of war. Siegel also heard a heavy knock. It should be the ancient tree of war hitting something, hoping it was just a swipe to the ground, not his knight. Then came the neighing of horses and the roar of some kind of beast, so far apart that it was hard to tell them apart. The heavy thumping came four more times, and then never came again.

After the wind is reduced. The snow grew thicker and fell, and Siegel's shoulders soon piled up with a layer of snow. Chill kisses the skin through the cloak, and the magical power is ready to flow. But it was suppressed by Siegel. He does not allow himself to use any spells, nor use magic items, so as not to leave traces of magic fluctuations. He narrowed his eyes, staring hard at the depths of the misty snowstorm.

The world ruled by white and gray finally appeared dazzling light, the fiery red flame and the green arc complement each other, it is the most beautiful color we have seen today. Flames rise. The screams of the ancient trees of war masked the howling of the wind, and then disappeared under the crackle and crackle of burning wood. After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the wind and snow, and one shadow after another rushed back.

All eleven horses came back, but only six were under the control of the knights, and the knights on three horses were dead, but they were **** so that they would not fall. Mana followed at the end, everyone was wounded, and two unconscious people fell on the horses of their companions and were brought back by the stubborn knight-the elf's weapon hit the rope, and they fell off the horse injured. Almost never came back.

There was an excited look on everyone's face, the look of a victor. Mana was panting, an arrow stuck in her calf, bleeding profusely.

"It's all killed, not one left!" she shouted, expressing the excitement in her chest. "The rate of fire of our crossbow is faster than that of the elves, and we actually suppressed the opponent. The effect of the crossbow on the ancient tree of war is also very good. When the fire started, we were all overjoyed."

"Stop the bleeding first, UU read www.uukanshu.com to treat the wound, drink the detoxification drink, and then retreat!" Siegel hurriedly ordered. The knights dismounted quickly, drew arrows, and wrapped the wounds with bandages.

Siegel went to see the knights on horseback and found that they were badly wounded. One's chest was full of wood shards, almost all of his ribs were broken, and the front of his body seemed to be flattened. His internal organs must be massively ruptured, and unless an experienced priest is found, there is no cure for this injury.

The other two were slashed by the elf machete, bleeding a lot and fell into a coma. Siegel sutured them with his magical hand, then sprinkled the wound with the hemostatic powder commonly used by mercenaries, and the rest was left to fate.

"Leave here immediately, this heavy snow can help us hide our whereabouts." Siegel said: "I brought the healing potion prepared by Reid, but it can't be used yet. Quick! Maybe two more lives can be saved!"

"Which direction are you going, do you want to go up the City Wall Mountains?" Mana asked.

Siegel leaped on a lost warhorse and patted it on the neck to quiet it.

"No, let's go south," Siegel said. "Go back from the prairie." (To be continued.)
