Act 188 The Battle of the White Lion XI

A cold wind blew into the house, and Earl Brill saw that the light of the candle suddenly became darker. ?

"What's wrong?" He turned back to look at his old friend sitting beside him - Anbunar, who was holding a skeleton staff and was in a gloomy state that made him uneasy.

"Well" the Duke slowly opened his eyes, a hint of dark red looming in his blue-gray eyes. He lowered his head and silently looked at the black mist-filled bone staff in his hand, and then gently let go of his hand. The bone staff seemed to be caught by a force. It was suspended in mid-air like it was lifted up by its power. Count Brill frowned deeply and watched this scene. He didn't like this thing. No owner of this dark treasure in history had a good end; he didn't like Madara either. Undead, this combat operation will bring considerable trouble to his territory. Although the Silver Queen will provide corresponding compensation afterwards, he is worried about his old friend. He feels that his old friend has become gloomy these days. A lot.

But the count understood that his old friend was a soldier, and he was just the lord of Ovehin. There were some things that he couldn't interfere with.

Duke Ambnar suddenly stood up from his chair, turned around and walked towards the stone hole. He left the staff with the black energy in place, rising and falling - outside the stone hole was half of Ovehin Port. At this moment Completely frozen in ice, and his gaze crossed the city wall, the dark place was the winding coast of Silver Valley.

"What happened, old man?" The Earl felt that the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees. He couldn't help asking. He saw that even the fire in the fireplace dimmed, and the blazing flames turned into Tiny flames.

"There is a small problem," Duke Ambnar replied gloomily: "I feel that a bone staff suddenly cannot sense it."

Outside the city of Ovehin——

The undead army is stilling layer by layer.

Under Brando's order, Croat damaged the bone staff in his hand. A black light shot out from the damaged bone staff and went straight into Brando's chest. Brando knew that there were a lot of messy things in his body. This black light seemed to be inseparable from the dark orb described by Bai, so he did not show any fuss, but just checked his status slightly. Sure enough, No abnormalities were found.

In addition to the blood of the Dark God or the power of the Dark Orb in his body. There should also be the Holy Sword Odyssey's Soul, which according to Sidney is the power of the Flame Orb, but these two powers exist in the body at the same time without any sign of conflict. In fact, among the two powers, apart from the influence of the Dark God's blood on the elemental pool, Brando cannot feel its existence at all, and the same is true for the Soul of Odyss. He has not mobilized the latter until It was only when I entered the fragments of the Flame Blade that I sensed its existence, but usually I never noticed it at all. It doesn't even have an impact on his fire element pool.

As for why one can affect the elemental pool and the other can't,

Brando vaguely felt that the difference between the two resulted from the fact that one of the two has self-awareness, while the other does not have self-awareness - Odysseus is the sword soul of the Flame Blade. In "The Amber Sword", the so-called The sword soul is actually the camp tendency of the holy sword influenced by its owner and experience. Although it is not comparable to real wisdom, it at least has the ability to judge, while the dark orb has been in a state of being divided into two for a long time. Down. The part controlled by the Dark Treasure is obviously a smaller part. As for the blood of the Dark God (another way of saying the power of the Dark Orb) that was injected into his body at the beginning, it is very small. There is no possibility of self-judgment and consciousness. sex.

The power of the Dark Orb and the Fire Orb is obviously very unique. They are different from any power Brando knows. In Warnd, most of the power and energy are displayed externally, and it will truly improve Your energy level - that is, the energy level (oz, the changed external or internal power of you - the three pillars of the body. Strength, dexterity, constitution or the three pillars of the soul, perception, will and blood. Although the elemental orbs have been in history Powerful powers that are almost miraculous have been demonstrated on the Internet - such as the terrifying lethality of the Blade of Fire and the Frostsinger, but you can't feel their energy levels.

They are like magic items without any energy, which sounds like a paradox in itself, because the definition of magic items in Warnd's world is 'items containing some kind of power or energy'.

Not only the elemental orbs themselves are like this, but even the 'power' they contain seems to have such properties.

After the bone staff was damaged, Yuta and others standing behind immediately noticed the changes that had occurred in the surrounding skeleton soldiers——

Thousands of undead lay motionless on the snow-covered Silver Valley coast. A ripple of turmoil spread out from their center. In an instant, the undead army melted like ice and snow. At the same moment, Owe watched silently. Brando, who was facing Xin, felt a slight movement in his heart, as if he felt something, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gestured to Tarrou on the side, and the young wizard immediately cast a spell. A water-like ripple rippled in the surrounding space, blocking the breath of the living.

A little further away, some undead that smelled the breath of the living in the wind stopped staggeringly. The undead army was collapsing and scattered in twos and threes, like lonely ghosts wandering in the wilderness.

"Sir, I don't quite understand why you need to destroy the bone staff and order these undead to attack the port. Although they are vulnerable, they can at least serve as cannon fodder, right?"

Tarrou looked at the scene in front of him in confusion.

Brando smiled slightly and shook his head.

Thousands of skeletons that have not been strengthened by the undead secret method have no effect at all, and he does not need such a weak attack. He sneaked here just to confirm one thing, and now he has got the answer.

Ovehin Port is not a military fortress like Fatan Port. As an important commercial port in the North Sublime Inland Sea, after hundreds of years of development, the size of the port has long been different from what it used to be. Due to the expansion of the urban area, merchants in the port They have long since demolished the outer city wall - in the hinterland of the empire, the area with the most stable order is also the garrison area of ​​the White Legion, and Owexin has no need for these defense facilities - for tax considerations, the city's rulers laid out The Lear family chose to acquiesce to this behavior. With the expansion of the city, Ovehin gradually crossed the original boundary, the Turquoise River, and formed two urban districts on the east and west of the river. The east district is the old city. The earliest city gates and docks of Owehin are on the Turquoise River. The east bank, while the west side is the urban area. There are neatly organized workshops and handicraft workshops, as well as two markets.

It is worth mentioning that the Kongwei Fortress built later by Ovehin is also located in the North City. This fortress stands on the north bank of the Turquoise River, like a dark ghost among the numerous lights on the north bank.

At this moment, Brando is feeling a strong call coming from this fortress. There is no doubt that the dark treasure in Baikou is located in this fortress, and it really controls all those who use its power. The finished counterfeit possesses some kind of control. In this case, Duke Ambnar who masters it must not be too far away.

He easily suppressed the impulses in his heart. For him who has mastered nearly two-thirds of the power of the Dark Orb, the so-called 'Dark Treasure' in the hands of Duke Ambnar is simply worthless. carry.

The other party should have discovered his existence.

But it's too late.

Brando took out a gem-like object from his arms. This 'gem' was dim and crescent-shaped, like some kind of feldspar, or obsidian. He only glanced at the thing and threw it forward. The gem draws a flat arc. It fell on the beach, but at this moment there was no gravel on the beach on the Silver Valley coast, only layers of thick snow. The gem fell into the snow and sank deeply.

Above the head——

The sky was dark and the twelve moons dimmed their light.

Within just a few hours. The outer sea of ​​the sublime inner sea seemed to have completely changed its appearance. There was lightning and thunder on the sea surface, and the intertwined electric light reflected a ferocious scene. The entire sea surface seemed to be boiling, and huge waves hundreds of feet in shape like mountains were rolled up in an instant. They surged down again, rising and falling one after another, like moving mountains, or giant beasts fighting and conquering each other.

Far away in the horizon, glaciers froze the coast, and the ice fields extended to the depths of the sea. Huge icebergs were suspended on the violent sea surface, cracking, freezing, and then disappearing into the depths of darkness. The entire sky and earth were covered with a curtain of pouring rain. Shrouded in rain, the lines of rain hanging from the sky blur the boundary between the sea and the sky, blurring the entire world together, forming an airtight world of water.

However, a silver fleet was passing through the rain curtain.

On the 'Breaker', the wizard on duty, Thalmann, looked at everything happening on the sea with some uneasiness. Mortals often think that wizards are incapable of it, and that nothing can surprise or scare them, but this is often not the case. Thalmann is twenty-one years old this year. Before he became a wizard, he was actually just the son of a farmer in the countryside of Tonigel. He was lucky enough to know a few words from a wandering wizard, so he was attracted by the first batch of students in Shire and became Shire. He is the third batch of students in Er Wizard Tower. He is very smart and learned well. He became a wizard apprentice a month ago, and was later selected by the Bugans (actually the dwarf picked the taller one out of them and became the "Breaking Wave"). One of the official wizards on board the escort cruiser.

Although he has the title of official wizard in name, in fact Thalmann is still a half-baked wizard apprentice, and he has not learned much, far less than those apprentices who are truly orthodox - tower wizards. It usually takes five years to train an apprentice. Although the apprenticeship period of Buga wizards is short, they usually have to go through at least ten years or a long time before they officially come into contact with magic - that is, they start to be exposed to the basic knowledge related to magic from birth. ——Thus, although Thalmann has a preliminary understanding of the world of magic, he is far from being in contact with the real side of this world.

what is the world

It is an unsolved problem for many knowledgeable wizards, not to mention Thalmann, a trainee wizard who has not yet left his identity as a farmer's son.

He looked at the scene in front of him with some fear, as if he was seeing the end of the world. In fact, this was not his only idea at this moment. There were many people with the same idea on the entire ship, or even the entire fleet, in front of him. What happened had gone beyond the civil war in the empire as they knew it, or even the scope of holy war. At this moment, many people had a different kind of speculation in their minds.

Maybe the four major temples are really going to be in trouble this time.

They did not know the accuracy of this guess, and the consequences were far beyond their imagination. However, the militarized management and training temporarily requested by the Bugas before forming the fleet finally had an effect, and Thalmann could not With the mentality of escaping before the battle, he at least remembered what responsibilities he currently shouldered, and what responsibilities the Wavebreaker, as the vanguard of the fleet, shouldered.

Suddenly, Thalmann saw the crystal ball in front of him light up and flicker slightly. When he saw the words clearly appearing on the crystal ball, he was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair. One of the boots fell off, but he had no intention of picking it up. Instead, he immediately rushed out of the room with one bare foot.

Behind the young wizard, a small row of numbers on the crystal ball shimmered.

x—3321; y—4211; z—0311

…

Swish, swish, swish, a low and uniform sound of footsteps echoed on the snow in the darkness. This rustling sound lasted for a long time before finally stopping. Outside the city of Port Fatan is the Haiya Mountain Road, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is an inward valley at one end of the mountain road. On a clear day, you can often see several miles away when you look toward the valley from the wall of the fortress outside the port. , but at this moment, only darkness can be seen.

But if you look carefully, you can see faint flickering spots of light in the darkness.

In Eruin, it only took one glance for Butch and the veterans of Karasu to jump up in shock, recognizing that it was the unique light of the soul fire when the undead army was marching. However, at this moment, the troops stationed in the fortress were nothing more than The Port Guards, who were under the command of Baron Ludwig, had never seen these soldiers, not to mention the undead, even bandits.

Death seemed to be approaching with a sound.

Suok watched the progress of the undead army coldly in the snow. Through a dim reflection, he could see that the undead army was approaching the fortress wall on the sea cliff path. The corpse witch had already arranged the front. There were two rows of skeleton archers, but Port Fatan still showed no reaction. Those guys must have decided that it was impossible to be attacked in such bad weather.

What's more, this solar eclipse was an 'accident' to them.

Thinking of the solar eclipse, a hint of gloom suddenly arose in Sok's heart. If even a solar eclipse could be artificially created, the future might not be as stable as imagined, not to mention that the current weather is not as simple as a solar eclipse. . When I think about all the signs that have happened in the empire recently, none of them seems to be a good sign.

Troubled times are coming——

An idea arose in his mind.
