Twenty Sided Dice

The knights and soldiers left, the mercenaries also left one after another, and so did the caravans, and the entire city of Myr suddenly seemed empty-except for the guards who were still patrolling the city walls.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Siegel made the farmer wear soldiers' clothes and still stand on the city wall every day. He also arranged for people to set fire to cook every day, so that the smoke from Zebra Mountain to Myr City would not be reduced. As for the city, Siegel used persistent illusions, creating crowds in pergolas and courtyards to deceive the sight of the falcons in the sky.

The brown road starts from the gate on the east side of the castle and extends all the way to the fields of the Ghost Mist Swamp. The oats there are ripe, and the farmer is bringing the harvest back by cart. Although the bread made from oats is not as delicious as the bread made from wheat, it has been widely praised because it is the first wave of grain harvested since the war.

The daily traffic of wagons caught the elves' eyes, providing cover for Heim's lead troops and smuggling to the south. The elves never tire of checking these wagons, but only find oats, kale, turnips, and cabbage, and occasionally mushrooms and pears. No weapons, no armor, no plasma bolts that the elves always wanted to find.

I don't know how long I can hide all these secrets, I really hope it can be forever. Siegel knew that when the elves finally understood, Leah would raise her sword and take the army of elves down the brown road. The heavy footsteps of the ancient tree of war will trample this new road, and its huge arms will be like rushing cars; the bow and arrows of the rangers will cover the city; the druids will become bears, cheetahs and eagles, or use vines to climb the walls; The fireballs of the mages rained down.

I still remember Master Leia's heroic manner of drawing a bow and shooting arrows. I wonder if he will use "Quick annihilation" and "Kill without mercy" on me? Siegel squeezed the defensive staff, hoping that the new equipment would be able to withstand the magic weapons specially used by elves.

Hope everything goes well, whether it's Waterdeep or Myr. Siegel had prepared for the worst. If the elves attacked while he was in the north, he would surrender when he couldn't resist. Janet can use the teleportation headgear to hide in the secret passage and take refuge in the starting point outpost. Modesti will guard the energy focusing lens, after opening the shield's ability. Then destroy the entrance of the secret passage and block the elf coalition.

On the city wall, an archer was unbuttoning his trousers and urinating from the shadows in the corner next to the tower. He is a cobbler. His usual job was to tan furs and mend leather armor, and today it was his turn to stand guard as a soldier. It seemed that he was holding back a lot, and it might be because he didn't know the room settings in the arrow tower, and he didn't know the location of the toilet, so he did this.

No elves shoot arrows. Maybe I didn't find it, maybe I didn't care, but today was the lucky day for that cobbler. From time to time, the elves will shoot some headless arrows to declare their power - I am outside your city, and you are all within the range of my arrows. This kind of headless arrow hits the body, it will hurt for a while, but it will not really hurt. However, in this way, the scarecrow cannot be used to deceive, and more cobblers, blacksmiths and farmers can only be dispatched.

Siegel walks between the walls with his staff, from tower to tower. The inhabitants will see him, and so will the elves. He plans to show up three times over a ten-day period. Then use the teleport spell to head north.

This time, it is impossible to resolve the battle in one day, and it may not even be possible to decide the winner this year. For the safety of Heimland, he could only try to delay the time to start the war with the elves and make all kinds of false impressions. But he didn't know what to do in his own heart, so he could only do his best to get good results.

Food, ordnance, population, weather, terrain, morale, as a lord, there are many things to consider. Siegel sometimes envied Kerry, how comfortable it was to simply lead the soldiers on a charge like he did. But since he was instilled with various war-related knowledge by Loremaster Faranis. I think a lot, but I feel tied down.

Heimland does not have a seasoned veteran, all knights and generals only have style but no experience. Elves have extremely long lifespans, and the most important thing is probably experience. This battle is not good.

He worked hard to prepare, especially scrolls, runestones, and other magic items. Fireball's wand is the thing he carries the most. In addition to his own use, he can also give it to the warlocks in the mercenary group to bomb the enemy.

On the battlefield, the most dangerous enemies for mages are the sneaky assassins and the sudden cold arrows. The former basically cannot escape the detection of psionic vision. The latter is blocked by Spell Shield. But to be on the safe side, Siegel made a cloak for himself, which could project his figure offset and disrupt the enemy's sight.

This is the first war in the true sense that Siegel has participated in, a contest of thousands of troops. He didn't know what role he should play as a mage lord. He went to the historical data to find out, and wanted to know how the mage lord before him did it, so that he could have a reference. After all, the one who once shook the entire Starry Kingdom was not contained until the Temple of Dawn personally participated in the war.

But there are only a few words about him in the old paper pile, a brief description of his life and a list of important events. But everything about the battle is blank, and there is no record of a single word. This does not conform to the rules of historical records, but only shows that the Master Association deliberately covered up the truth of that time.

Even if the Star King Royal Family or the Temple of the Moon would have information, it wouldn't be of much help right now. The more you know, the more you don't know.

On the thirteenth day, Siegel kissed his wife goodbye and first went to the underground library of the Federation, where he performed the teleportation technique, and went to the city wall mountain range, at the foot of the Black Blood Castle.

The rune formation in the City Wall Mountains was still running, preventing Sigal from teleporting directly to the Black Blood Castle, so he could only use the Phantom Horse to go up. There is still no one in the castle, and even the orcs scattered in the mountains are far away from here. For nothing else, just because of the black ashes on the mountain to the east of the castle that the wind can't blow away.

The shadow left by the Wraith after burning.

Resentment is also the shadow of the dead. The two are just differences in character, and other aspects are the same. They can all be turned into flame soul crystals as a carrier for providing energy to the outside world. In the state of resentful spirits, this contained energy is the secret of their extremely high success rate of possession. If it burns, it can also cause great damage to the magic circle.

This is how the Forbidden Rune Array was breached.

Siegel came to this "cemetery" of the resentful spirits, and rushed to a chill in the distance. The power of the elements becomes chaotic around the graveyard. Negative energy is far greater than positive energy, making people feel tired, sleepy, and dizzy. On the other hand, the Forbidden Rune Array in the City Wall Mountains is repairing itself, and the thick energy from the earth keeps pouring in, trying to "evaporate" this layer of black matter on the surface.

The Phantom Colt chirped uneasily. I don't want to move in the direction of the Wraith Graveyard. It is a creature of magical composition, very sensitive to the elemental environment. Siegel reassured it a few words, then jumped off the horse and walked over by himself.

The ground is full of corrosion marks, like a strong acid rain. Large and small caves are left in the rocks and mud. Nearby vegetation had all died, leaving only a rotten gray husk from leaves to rhizomes that turned to powder at the touch of a pinch.

After getting close, the tiredness of the body is more obvious, as if I haven't rested for days and nights. Siegel, who prides himself on being physically fit, still suffers to that extent. Hopefully the Orcs will be similarly nerfed so the fight will be a lot easier.

This layer of black substance is connected to each other like sticky grease. Neither the magical hand nor the telekinesis can change its shape. Siegel walked up cautiously, the soles of his feet felt soft and sticky, not as slippery as he imagined. That doesn't affect walking or running.

Then he began to climb the mountain on the graveyard of the Wraith, and has been paying attention to the changes in the forbidden rune formation. The design of this huge rune formation that spreads throughout the Walled Mountains is the top secret of the dwarves. Somehow the westbound dwarves knew part of it, but not a word was mentioned to Siegel.

They were just mavericks, never traitors to the dwarves.

The effect of the rune array is amazing. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the greater the resistance you receive. But this resistance does not come from the power of the elements, and it will not turn into effects such as fireballs, lightning, and ice, but it will cause various events. Stones that fell for some reason, rifts hidden beneath our feet, sudden avalanches, turbulent air without warning. Occasionally, various strange creatures appear, and disappear mysteriously after driving away the climbers. Don't know where to hide.

Siegel is very suspicious that this is not an ordinary rune, but more like the effect of some kind of divine power: warping reality with will. According to the mages, that is the effect that can only be achieved by wishing - what you want and what happens. It would be astounding if the dwarves actually used the runes to achieve this spell on a large scale.

Runes are a relatively easy magic language to learn. It was a gift from the patron saint of dwarves to his children. Because of his status as a hero on the summit, Siegel can also use it, so he will do everything possible to learn. At present, it seems that the dwarf rune master still has great reservations about him, hiding all the profound knowledge of runes.

Knowledge is never free, Siegel understood. When Mora's Top reopens~www.readwn.com~ he will go to school again.

After two sleepless days of climbing, Siegel finally reached the top. Looking north, the vast land is covered in green, and you can see a few dark shadows formed by the fauna moving slowly. There is a rain cloud to the northwest, forming a yellowish rain area, and the rest of the place is still in the sun, bright and warm.

There were swaying shadows on the horizon, like the foundations of a desert mirage. Siegel took out his binoculars and tried to look as far as possible. He saw an army in action, of green, tawny, and reflective metallics, coming slowly but surely toward the Walled Mountains.

If you want to cross the distance in front of you and reach the foot of the mountain, it will take at least fifteen days at the speed of the march, but the possibility of the orcs marching in a hurry cannot be ruled out. They arrived earlier than Siegel had estimated. It seemed that it was too late to build a new city wall, so they could only block it with simple fortifications.

Putting down the binoculars, Siegel suddenly laughed, feeling extremely relaxed. When the war really came, his worries, hesitations, and confusion all disappeared without a trace. "I knew it!" he yelled, clenching his fists hard.

He turned his head and shook his head in the direction of Waterdeep: "Knox Common Meeting, I did expect it. This time you are finished." (To be continued.)
