Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); Kerry and Siegel came out of the tower, supporting each other.

"Will the white dragon come?" Kerry asked.

Siegel shook his head: "Probably not, the death knight still has to command the orcs, and will not take risks personally. We don't have a chance to single them out."

He stretched out his hand, and the defensive staff in the courtyard received the order and flew into his hand immediately.

"All soldiers, organize defense!" His order spread throughout the castle, including the soldiers who had been hidden in advance. Then he whispered to Kerry, "Find a place to put me down, I'm off."

Despite the help of the defensive staff, the death knight's mace still packs a punch. I can hold on when I'm tense in the battle, but all the fatigue hits after the battle.

Siegel put his hood back on, wrapped himself tightly, and leaned against the fire. He grabbed the cup with trembling hands and drank the "hot tea" brewed with healing potions and tranquilizers, trying to regain his strength as soon as possible.

The ground of the courtyard was covered with a viscous liquid, a mixture of black dragon blood, acid, and dissolved warrior corpses. Under the siege of hundreds of people, on the premise that Siegel made various targeted preparations, dozens of casualties were still paid.

I don't know how many lives it will cost to defend this black blood castle.

According to the information reported by the scouts, the orc army numbered at least 50,000. In fact, Siegel understood that the reconnaissance could not count the number of people at all, and could only guess according to the density and length of the team. A few years ago, the orcs won the war and returned to the north with a lot of spoils, and their living conditions have been greatly improved. Although newly born orcs are not yet old enough to fight, the surplus of food allows them to gain the allegiance of hill giants, ogres, or other large creatures.

There are some hill giants in this team, they can throw stones, and the power is comparable to that of human trebuchets.

The Black Blood Castle can arrange about five hundred people on the city wall at a time, which can form a powerful blow to the orcs. The rotating soldiers need to be divided into five groups to cope with the non-stop fighting day and night; the auxiliary soldiers and logistics personnel to wind the crossbow and add fuel to the brazier also need about four hundred. defense.

There are enough troops now. Weapons and defensive equipment should also be enough to deal with, a black dragon and the dragon knight above it were also killed, and the prior preparations have been done the best. Siegel calmly waited for the arrival of the enemy, full of confidence in his victory.

He led the army for a long time in Heim. Both the Elves and the Commonwealth of Knox value him very much, seeing him as an obstacle that must be overcome in conquering the southern part of the New World. But no one thought that Siegel led his troops to the north of the City Wall Mountains and set up a front to stop the orcs.

Together with the soldiers of the Jackdaw tribe, a total of 7,000 people gathered near the Black Blood Castle. There are more than 10,000 Jackdaw tribe cavalry at the foot of the mountain. The Orcs have only this road through the Walled Mountains, and they have no advantage.

He doesn't need to stay here, he doesn't need to drain the last drop of blood, and he can retreat through the plank road of the castle defense chain at any time. This is the biggest advantage of this battle - advancing and retreating freely. Because of this, he can rest assured.

Siegel sat alone in the tower room, where the only thing moving was the brazier burning in front of him. Outside the door stood two guards from Heim's collar, with proud and proud expressions, straightening their chests and doing their job of guarding.

At dusk, the follow-up troops brought by Mana and Humke were in place. They saw that the people of the Jackdaw tribe were cutting the black dragon's body with familiarity, and they also stepped forward to help. Excited, Kerry prepared to have another dragon meat feast, but the meat of the black dragon was all sour and could not be eaten at all.

Fortunately, the skin of the black dragon can be used to make armor, and the claws and teeth of the dragon can be used to make weapons. All dragon weapons are collected and ready to be used against death knights. Metal weapons are said to be ineffective against Nex warriors wearing golden armor, but natural substances like wood and teeth are not.

The death knight's mace was sent to Siegel.

When the Void Ship left, Siegel put many precious parts and materials in the space bag, a lot of flame soul crystals, but not a single mace, and now he got one. among all. Only he can unleash the full power of this weapon. Siegel has the technology to extract energy from the flame soul crystal, and with the plasma pattern, he can activate the mace and blow anything in front of him.

Since no one else can use it. He accepted it without hesitation.

Since the soldiers of Heimland were more familiar with the defense of the castle, they took over the entire walls of the Black Blood Castle. Orders were continuously issued from the female knight, and the entire castle was running in an orderly manner.

After a while, Kerry, carrying a barrel of wine, knocked on the door of Siegel's room.

"It's really comfortable for you to hide here." The giant said unceremoniously: "Why don't I have a woman like Mana? I think her arrangements for the castle are better than yours."

"She works hard and is better than me," Siegel said. "Mana manages the territory and the army better than me. Hunk trains soldiers better than me, Faizac handles intelligence, Janis manages the caravan, and Janet can To deal with the intrigues among the nobles. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a good lord."

"When you say that, I'm a little unhappy. They're all better than you, and I'm not as good as you. Isn't it my biggest disadvantage?" Kerry sat down, poured a glass of red wine for Siegel, and then used a cold The power of ice cooled down and handed it over. "Try it, the good stuff from Waterdeep."

The aroma of the fruit is condensed in the wine, and the flavor is fully stimulated when it is chilled. "This is not wine from the New World." Siegel said, "Although I don't like drinking very much, as a lord, I have some knowledge about the production of the New World. This can only be brought by sea from the Kingdom of Stars, and it is very valuable. "

"It's stolen anyway, so just drink it." Kerry said: "I still want to persuade you not to stick to the castle here. Orcs are not good things, so are dragons and death knights, they all deserve to die. But this A war has no oil or water, it's like eating dry grass roots. Waterdeep is the place where the oil is rich, and the treasure there is waiting to be rescued."

"I know what you think, but I can't go to Waterdeep with you, I'm the baron and pioneer knight there." Siegel stared at the cup in his hand, watching the red liquid swirl and shake. "Waterdeep City issues many bounty quests every year to let mercenaries and adventurers 'control' the population of the grasslands. There is hatred between you. Since you are the Khan King of the grassland people, you have the obligation to avenge them. understandable."

"I will block the orcs here, so I can't take my hands to defend Waterdeep, I can only watch you leave." Siegel drank the red wine. "The only thing I can do is to persuade you to rob more things, make less killings, and don't go to the mage area."

"I see." Kerry tried to get him a drink, but Siegel refused. The giant scratched his hair. Then he said, "As we negotiated before..."

"Defend me for five days, and then leave." Siegel said, "But you have to remember that before the elves enter the city, no matter how good the opportunity is in front of you, it is the trap of the Knox Common Association. , you must never enter the city. You're going to be the liberator of Waterdeep, the human hero who battered the elves, and the savior of the treasure, understand?"

Kerry laughed. "The Liberator of Waterdeep? Hahahaha, I like that title."

Humke pushed open the door and walked over with a snort. "I'll just say there's good wine here. They don't believe it."

"Carry it all away, count me as a treat." Giant Kerry said boldly: "I still have a bucket at the foot of the mountain, and they will bring it up in the next two days."

"You all go to work, come to wake me up when the orcs come, and now I have to rest." Siegel waved his hand and said to the two: "Take the statistics of the casualties and hand them over to Mana. She is now It is the acting lord, giving orders for me and organizing the defense of the castle."

"Okay, Lord Lord, you can rest assured." Humke said: "The morale of our soldiers in Heimland is high. Orcs will not take advantage."

Siegel smiled reassuringly, and sealed the door with a spell after they left. He casts the "Mage's Chamber" spell, avoiding any divination or detection spells to probe the area, and takes out the crystal ball. Recite the spell according to the scroll given to him by Edith.

The avatar of the half-elf appeared and spoke to him across a long distance.

"The Mages Association has begun to act, Lord Siegel." The half-elf said succinctly and directly: "The action against the Three Peaks Pagoda has begun. The Lion King Alexander has returned to the Federation and is dismantling the power of the Knox Common Association. The elves arranged The magic circle is powerful. Kasper and others have been trapped in the Three Peaks Tower and cannot leave. Victory is just around the corner."

"As I expected, the orc army came to the City Wall Mountains." Siegel said: "I will block them and prevent them from going south."

Edith was silent for a while, then said, "Isn't Heim's comprehension too empty?"

"There is this danger." Siegel nodded: "There was a violent flash on the battlefield today, and I think the elves of Waterdeep will definitely find out. In a few days, they will know that there are no troops in my Heimland. So I need the Mage Association to mediate for me."

"You can~www.readwn.com~ but you also have to complete a task for the Mage Association in the future, just like the members of the association." Edith said: "We will tell the elves that your actions against the orcs on the front line are The Mage Association requires that if the elves send troops to Heim at this time, they will be classified as the Orc Alliance, and the Mage Association will never allow it."

"I'm more relieved about this." Siegel said, "I don't know where the Mages Association will go after this war?"

"It depends on the final loss." Edith replied with a heavy expression: "The Federation is definitely still a magical organization in the New World, and it is slowly rebuilt by relying on the materials in the library, but it will take decades to develop again. I suggest you You can come to the Mage Association in the future, and we all welcome you."

"Are you from the Federation or the Association?" Siegel asked.

"I'm a mage, no more, no less." Edith replied.

Siegel nodded, saluted and terminated the call. The victory left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to rest.

Invisible servants and guards were summoned, a defensive barrier was placed, and Siegel fell asleep beside the warm brazier. (To be continued.)
