Chapter 291 The Biggest Winner

When evening fell, the gloomy sky darkened quickly, the snowflakes all over the sky gradually stopped, and the newly accumulated snow on the wilderness showed a little dark blue. The cold wind was bitter, but it was far less cold than Baron Bellom's face.

The undead are different from any other race, they will not risk their lives for certain goals like the orcs and humans-for them, "life" is always the most important thing-living is the foundation of everything .

So Bellom wouldn't feel ashamed of his escape, but that deep shame will always be imprinted in his mind...

Make sure to level Sola's sentry! must!

The undead are all vengeful, whether it is Ansadin, Magda or Bellom today, they will not let go of any enemy who makes them suffer--but what Bellom doesn't know is that the one who just fought with himself The young man who fought turned out to be Roddy whom he believed dead...

Bellom escaped from the sentry post in embarrassment, and soon found the troops that he had left behind before - because Master Simon led the team to attack before, so his team was not many at this time, and all the soldiers joined forces. When they woke up, there were only three remaining necromancers and seventy undead soldiers.

And when Bellom reunited with the team, he immediately wanted to turn around and go to Sola Sentinel for revenge--but the ever-existing "Forbidden Demon" effect made him extremely jealous... After the "rune" was shattered , his strength has obviously dropped a lot, and if the "death knight" has no magic assistance, it is equivalent to having his wings broken, and there is no threat at all...

"Damn it! What the hell is going on!"

He tried his best to mobilize the frost element, but he didn't make much progress. Just when he was hesitating whether to wait for the dawn to take revenge, his subordinates sent him a question that he couldn't avoid:

Blood Raven found a group of people outside Elson, and witnessed them break the barrier and enter the city!

The news immediately made Bellom feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He was able to walk out of the Tasman for much more than laying down a sentry post. Because the real task that His Majesty Augustine values ​​the most is the mysterious Elson and the "charged spar" in it!

It doesn't matter if you messed up the sentry. If Elson's treasure is taken by some guys first, Bellom may really have to go back to see Augustine with his own head...

So he didn't hesitate to ask whether he wanted revenge, and immediately ordered the troops to march forward, and marched towards Elson through the night with all their strength--

"wait me back,

I will definitely tear you to pieces! "

Bellom supported his broken left arm and swore viciously.

On the other side, Sauron, who had entered a period of absolute weakness because of the "ancestral soul", was lying powerlessly in front of the campfire.

Originally there were more than 90 troops, but those who survived escaped from the Sola sentry in the end. Including him, there were only 20 people in total.

But after this tragic battle, the supplies they snatched back in a panic were not enough for the remaining orcs, women and children to eat for a winter... In other words, Sauron's entire plan failed completely, and even took almost all of his own. "capital".

The flames danced in the wind and snow, as if they were about to go out at any moment. Sauron's eyes were half-opened, his arms trembling slightly from the pain caused by the injury. Although he had been treated with "spiritual magic" and "witchcraft", the concussion of the internal organs could not be relieved. At this time, even a cough would affect the nerves of the whole body and cause endless pain.

But Sauron almost ignored the pain in his body, because he knew that he had lost all opportunities: the team of 20 people could no longer pose any threat to the Sola sentry. the extravagant hope.

"That's the end?"

All plans and efforts go to waste like this, no one will be reconciled - but the world is so cruel, most people's lives will not always be satisfactory, no matter how much planning and preparation, it may be because of an accident Completely ruin everything.

Sauron's silence made the atmosphere of the camp freeze. The wounded soldiers ate the looted food, but felt that the delicious bread had become tasteless... They are not fools. What does this mean, actually? Everyone knows.

But this atmosphere was quickly broken by an inexplicable shock.

Sauron frowned, gritted his teeth and sat up, ordering someone to investigate. The orcs had poor night vision, but the snow-white ground allowed them to quickly figure out what happened... The scouting orcs ran back to the temporary camp excitedly, shouting, "It's a herd of antelopes! Hundreds of them!"

The earthquake caused the animals to behave abnormally. The antelope herd, which used to hide in the deep mountains, was frightened and rushed out of the Gondola mountain. After running exhausted for several hours, they approached the cable by accident. Long's location...

This kind of news made the "King of Thousand Axes" take a deep breath -- all the power seemed to return to him, he stretched out his hand to hold the "Skull Crusher" that originally belonged to Rody, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he Said: "Everyone is ready to hunt! We will definitely survive this winter!"

*****

Near midnight, the "Forbidden Demon" effect finally disappeared, and the depressing atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The bonfire was burning vigorously, and after the two sentry towers were destroyed by the earthquake, the interior of Sola sentry looked a little messy. But at this time, the gap on the city wall has been filled, and the patrol team is guarding the city wall vigilantly, keeping an eye out for any enemies that may be approaching.

Soderol, Hanks and others were seriously injured. After receiving the treatment, they had already fallen asleep. The snow was falling quietly. Rody sat in the commander's office that originally belonged to Hanks, looking at the "On Defense" in front of him. Systematic Self-awareness" Wei Wei was in a daze.

"When the enchantment decays to collapse, it will produce the effect of 'elemental vacuum'. If it is forcibly opened, it will produce a larger vibration. If it does not, it proves that it dissipates naturally..."

The high elf text in the book seems to be floating in his mind, telling Roddy a fact: Elson's barrier has been forcibly opened at this time.

This means that the biggest goal of Rody's trip, "Elson City", has already been entered by others...

No matter how much he tried to pretend to be calm, Rody's heart was a little messed up by the news.

Among the three forces facing each other today, Rody finally became the "biggest winner" by virtue of his decision-making and luck—his team achieved the goal of "taking back the sentry post" at the cost of killing 23 subordinates and injuring 68 people. And because of the existence of Akasha and others, all the "wounded soldiers" who troubled the army most in the past have recovered their fighting power with the help of medicine and magic. If Hanks and the remaining knights are counted, the fighting power of this team In essence, it has not been weakened.

But Luo Di was not at ease at this time - he sent scouts without a break to confirm Bellom's position, and only hoped that the other party would not immediately launch a revenge raid.

Waiting is anxious, Roddy's eyes are sunken, and his face is pale from exhaustion and injury, like a legendary vampire.

The wooden door was pushed open, and Rody raised his head and found that it was Akasha, so he said in a hoarse voice: "Have you not rested yet? Go to sleep quickly, I asked Hanks to separate you and Nata for rest." Room."

"I'm not sleepy yet, come and sit with you for a while."

For the first time, Akasha's tone showed some unquestionable flavor - once the words came out, even she herself was a little surprised why she spoke to Rody in such a tone.

She handed the hot water in her hand to Rody. In the cold night, people's hands and feet are cold, and Rody is indeed a little cold. Looking at the steaming water cup in front of him, he couldn't help being touched, and took it with both hands: " Thanks."

Akasha didn't smile, because she could see Rody's haggardness and exhaustion, and felt the great pressure hidden in his heart-for some reason, seeing Rody like this, she felt that her heart ached.

Wanting to ask, but feeling that she couldn't help at all, Akasha bit her lip, but finally sat directly beside Rody...

There were no other chairs in the room, and Rody was sitting on a slightly wider wooden chair. When Akasha was sitting next to him, she naturally wanted to get close to his body. This made Rody suddenly recover from his guess about Elson, and instinctively moved to the side.

At this time, the distance between the two was about five centimeters.

"Roddy, today you...you saved me again."

"That guy is very strong, I'm afraid you will have an accident." Rody rubbed his brows. At first he thought it was inappropriate to be so close to Akasha, but his physical fatigue made him give up the idea of ​​standing up and walking aside. , He thought for a while, and continued: "Sooner or later, I will meet him again, so...then use those scrolls as soon as they are available, don't hesitate."

He began to have a headache about Bellom's strength again. Even if the opponent used "Rune Crack" once, he still couldn't compete with him. If the opponent came again, could he really use scrolls to kill him? I'm so anxious...

Although Rody was always distracted, Akasha sitting next to him didn't seem to mind at all--Akasha seldom took the initiative to do anything in her life, but seeing Rody so nervous after being injured in the afternoon, However, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then inexplicably felt an unprecedented joy...

He turned his head to look at Rody, and asked in a low voice, "Your wound...doesn't need to be treated?"

"That's it, I guess it will be fine tomorrow." Rody's [Status Bar] has already had a debuff of "reducing the healing effect by 15%" due to frequent magical healing, and there are still some aftereffects from the chest being kicked. But he doesn't plan to rely on magic anymore.

After saying this, the two of them seemed to be in some embarrassing situation - Roddy didn't know what to say, but Akasha was thinking about whether she should take the initiative to hold Roddy's hand...

Because she wanted to let Rody relax a little in this way.

Of course, how much "selfishness" there is in it is unknown to others, but for Akasha who has never held someone else's hand, such "initiative" has already broken through the limit.

With a slight movement of her fingers, Akasha inhaled slightly, and asked, "Rody, are you worried about something else?"

As she said this, she moved her palm lightly, but before she touched Rody, a figure appeared at the unclosed door in front of her...

"The scouts said that the undead retreated and were marching southwest overnight, I—"

Nata appeared silently, but before she finished speaking, her eyes fixed on Akasha's hand as if attracted by a magnet...

The wood elf frowned, and Akasha immediately caught such a tiny mood swing—it stands to reason that she would definitely feel uncontrollable shame when she was seen so close to Rody, but Facing Nata at this time, Akasha's mysterious fingers forcefully held Rody's hand tightly.

Nata narrowed her eyes slightly and looked away.
