my age of magic

Chapter 1171. 275. The Pass of Lake Beran

People in the north believed that apart from the towering city walls and bed crossbows, only the Constructed Knights could stop the barbarian army.

……

In recent years, as the number of falcons in the northern border has gradually increased, some savages have always been hunted.

The savages suffered a lot in the northern border. They began to search for the reason and found that they were poached to death by falcons. Therefore, the savages felt that it would be safer for everyone to get together, and they could easily capture some weak defenses. Small town, so the barbarians began to roam the northern territory in groups.

When the barbarians form a large group, the damage to the northern border will undoubtedly be huge. They cannot get enough supplies in the wild, so they have to go to the human villages to find something to eat. Once they cannot find enough food, they will die. Destroy some houses and trees, and more often, these barbarians will eat people to satisfy their hunger.

However, barbarians walking together in groups will also encounter some new problems. After they gather together, their targets will become bigger, and they will easily attract the attention of the North Wind Legion military. Behind them, unless they break up into pieces and flee into the mountains, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Constructed Knights.

……

El City is one of the few cities that the barbarians do not want to approach in the province of Sloitt. The main reason is that the consul of El City has always insisted on clearing the walls. Every winter before the river is closed, El City will have affairs. The officials went to the surrounding small towns and villages to persuade the people there to spend the winter in the city.

In addition, four years ago, the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe failed to besiege El City, which also left some shadows in the hearts of these barbarians.

Unexpectedly, in the winter of this year, these barbarians would cross the city of El and go to the cities in the south of the province to plunder human slaves.

……

A large group of barbarians gathered on the ice of the lower channel of the Bellan Ice Falls. They wanted to cross the Arm Mountain to the Lavenham City area to plunder the imperials in the town, but they could not find a way to cross the Arm Mountain. .

Thousands of barbarian warriors wandered at the foot of the northern slope of Arm Mountain, and it seemed that they had just arrived here not long ago.

Arm Mountain is steep and stretches for hundreds of kilometers. The north slope is covered with dense yellow pine and red pine. Barbarians hate walking through dense pine forests. The branches of pine trees can easily hang their bodies. With snow, even bare-handed climbing is very difficult.

Dozens of savages carried a giant log tens of meters long and marched towards the valley pass of the Beran Lake Waterfall, apparently determined to capture the pass of the Beran Lake Waterfall.

The strength of the barbarians lies in their tyrannical physique. They run like wild horses and can wrestle with bison with bare hands. They are not afraid of the cold, even in the coldest winter, they do not need cotton coats to keep out the cold.

They are good at fighting in the wilderness, but they are not good at siege warfare, and they don't even know how to build ladders.

Ordinary barbarian fighters can fight against the first-rank fighters of the empire without losing the wind.

When these barbarians form a small team, their combat effectiveness is greatly improved. They can even face off against the same number of Constructed Knights on the field battlefield.

Falcon squads can hunt lone barbarian fighters in the wild, but they are helpless against barbarian hordes.

The team hid in the dense forest among the mountains. I stood on a wild pear tree and looked down the hillside. A large group of barbarians came from the west side of the left arm mountain and gathered on the glacier below the Bellan Falls. , the river here has long been frozen, and the countless streams of condensed water from the waterfall are like countless sharp swords piercing down from the sky.

Deborah folded her wings from the sky like a goshawk, plunged down from the sky, and flew directly into the dense forest.

If an ordinary bird dared to do this, it would inevitably have its wings broken by the branches in the dense forest, but Deborah, who has a succubus body, grasped the branches flexibly with both hands, and it was offset by a few swings between the branches. With the momentum of falling, he made an elegant somersault in the forest, landed smoothly on the ground, folded his wings and ran to Kalantso's side.

Deborah has an indescribable sense of dependence on Kalancuo. The cold wind at high altitude froze her fair little face a little blue, and her clear eyes are full of infinite curiosity, watching the barbarians below the mountains Brigade, silver hair fluttering in the wind.

She habitually touched the yellow-orange collar around her neck with her hands, and leaned on Kalancuo's back, with her two wings folded behind her back. The white wings were nothing, but the dark fleshy wings of the other succubus A layer of ice crystals condensed, shining like diamonds in the sun.

"Is it cold?" Kalancuo casually put a cloak over Deborah's body and asked her.

Deborah showed a happy face, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, every time I fly, I feel that my body will be completely frozen by the cold wind, and my body will feel like it is on fire. After that, it will not be cold at all. .”

Karanto didn't feel that there was anything wrong when he heard Deborah say this.

But I have seen Su's 'Shadow Body' attack, when the shadow magic lines on Su's body appeared on her skin, it was as if her whole body was on fire, and those shadow magic lines were scattered on Su's body Spread, as if to swallow her whole.

I went to Deborah's side, grabbed her wrist, rolled her sleeves up to her elbows, and saw those dark magic lines spread all over Deborah's arms like volcanic lava, but these shadow magic lines were growing The speed visible to the naked eye fades rapidly.

When Kalancuo saw that Deborah's collar was torn apart with his hand, he found that there were such magic patterns all over her plump and bulging chest. He asked me in surprise, "Is this the shadow-type magic pattern of the succubus family?"

My gaze followed these magic lines all the way to Deborah's neck, and saw that those magic lines spread to the yellow orange collar and then stopped abruptly. These magic lines were actually blocked by the slave collar, and there was no way to continue upward. spread.

Unexpectedly, less than half a month after Deborah came to the northern border, her own strength has improved so much, and she has also awakened the shadow magic pattern in her body that originally belonged to the succubus.

I nodded to Kalancuo, and said, "That's right, it's the shadow magic lines, but I don't know what happened, these magic lines stopped spreading upwards at the slave collar."

Normally, without a strong enough mental power, there is no way to stop the spread of the shadow magic pattern.

But this kind of abnormal situation happened on Deborah's body, and those shadow magic lines did not invade Deborah's face. Perhaps it was because of this that Deborah's body was covered with shadow magic lines, but her mind was still Stay awake.

Seeing this strange state of Ebola reminded me of Su, this is actually a way to restrain the power of shadow.

If Su also had such a magical metal collar on her neck, if she used the 'Shadow Body', I don't know what would happen. Perhaps the sea of ​​spirits would not be eroded by the shadow magic power erupted by the Shadow Body.

Then I asked Deborah, "How far did you see these savages line up in the sky?"

Deborah stood on a rock, pointed to the west side of the mountain, and said to me, "All the way down to the valley over there, there are savages everywhere."

I asked Deborah again: "Then have you seen a human team like us hiding in the dense forest among the mountains?"

Deborah jumped off the rock and said to me: "Yes, there is one on the hillside opposite us, there are about a dozen people in it, they thought I would not be able to see them hiding in the pine trees, naive! "

It seems that in aerial reconnaissance, the field of vision is still very wide, and almost everything can be seen.

So I couldn't help asking Deborah again: "So did you see the pass on the top of the waterfall?"

Deborah asked me back with some uncertainty: "You mean the gate tower built on the mountain road?"

I then asked Deborah, "Absolutely! How many men are stationed at that pass?"

Deborah frowned, and said to me: "There is no one on the top of the city! Oh... oh, no, there are probably two guards in light armor. The city is full of flags, do you think it’s funny?”

Deborah speaks crappy imperial language, but still has a full imperial accent. She doesn't understand grammar, and can only speak the most commonly used words, so what she says usually makes me ponder for a long time.

It's just that this time, I understood what Deborah said right away, and I broke out in a cold sweat from her fright.

"Hey, wake up, Deborah, what are you talking about! How can there be no one guarding such an important pass at the pass of Lake Belan!" I hugged her shoulders with both hands and shook her awake vigorously. Borah may have said something wrong, or she was talking in her sleep.

Deborah's long silver hair was fluttering in the air when I shook her. She protested, "Oh, Jijia, what are you doing? I'm not talking in my sleep! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

My face was almost pressed against hers, and I asked her: "You mean that there are really no garrisons on the walls of the Beran Lake Pass?"

Deborah didn't avoid my gaze, but nodded to me and said, "Yes, I can see clearly in the sky."

I still can't believe Deborah's words.

I said to Kalancuo: "...I want to go and see for myself!"

As I said that, I pulled out the magic handle from the magic pocket, and while inputting the magic power, I rode on it. The floating magic circle lit up little by little, and the magic handle carried me slowly into the air. Jumped up on the ground, sat down behind me, and said to me: "Take me."

The two of us rode through the gap in the dense forest on a magic scorpion, and lifted off from a slightly further position.

As soon as the magic scorpion got out of the dense forest, I felt the cold wind in the sky freeze my leather clothes completely. I finally experienced the kind of cold that Deborah had been enduring in the air, and a gust of cold wind choked into my chest , I feel that my internal organs are cold.

Quickly released an ice shield in front of us, which seemed to be able to block the cold wind. We rode the magic scorpion to raise the height as much as possible, because the barbarian's short flying spear dominated the low altitude of about [-] meters, and we couldn't do it in the air. Dodge the flying spears thrown from the ground.

After I raised the magic horn to a safe height, I ignored the commotion of the barbarians in the valley below, and flew straight to the pass at the mouth of the waterfall.

When I rode the magic scorpion up to the sky above the pass, I found that the pass was facing the city gate in the direction of Lavenham City, and various scattered supplies were discarded along the road. The road was no longer visible. There were figures, and the valley pass appeared to be a mess. It should have been covered with guards, but there were really only two warrior guards running back and forth at the top of the city.

The two of them were preparing for battle on the city wall, and bundles of crossbow arrows were carried to the side of the bed crossbow.

At this time, a guard at the top of the city saw me floating in the air on a magic scorpion. He stood on the city wall and waved to me. Worried that I didn't see him, he climbed onto the parapet wall again, Shake your arms vigorously.

Seeing the guards signaling us to go down, I didn't hesitate and flew to the top of the city directly on the magic horn.

As soon as I jumped off the magic scorpion, I was surrounded by two guards on the pass. They looked at me hopefully, saluted me and asked, "Your Majesty, are you coming from the city of Lavenham?" Help our reinforcements?"

I sat on the handle of the magic scorpion and spread my hands, and said to the two guards: "I'm sorry, we are just the Falcon Squad who came from El City."

Kalancuo jumped off the handle of the magic scorpion, and after a few light jumps, he jumped onto the highest part of the city wall and looked up the steep valley road. Several barbarians were looking up at the mountain pass, and some other barbarians were attacking the city. Prepare.

"Ah! So you are Falcons..." The guard warrior seemed excited and disappointed at the same time, trembling to me.

Then he lowered his gaze and saluted me apologetically.

The guards let me stand on the city wall, and said to the companions who rushed over with a dejected look: "Hey, Ke Leiji, I thought there were reinforcements coming to support us! It seems that this is just my extravagant wish. They're all gone, no one is coming to help us!"

Another guard soldier just came over carrying a bundle of heavy crossbow arrows, he stopped and said to the previous guard, "Yes, Ram, let's shoot the crossbow at the bed before the barbarians rush up." Bring more crossbow arrows to the side!"

I followed behind the guard named Ram.Asked him: "Where are the soldiers guarding here?"

Ram and Corregie stopped and promised me: "We are here, Your Excellency the Magician."

I waved my hands to them and said, "I'm talking about other people, there shouldn't be only two assistants in this pass!"

The soldier Ram showed a slight silence on his face, and said to me: "They are all gone, they have to settle down with their relatives before the barbarians rush over, only Ke Leiji and I have no relatives since childhood, so Just stay here and keep fighting."

As he said that, Ram picked up the bed crossbow with thick arms and put it into the groove of the bed crossbow. The bow strings of the bed crossbow had been twisted up by the two of them quickly, and the arrows could be shot out as long as the trigger was gently pulled.

Looking at the barbarians climbing up the mountain path, I turned my head and glanced at Kalancuo, who made a safe gesture.

I chased after the guards of the city wall and said to them: "I still have some subordinates under my command. I can let them go to the pass on the top of the mountain to resist the barbarians at the bottom of the mountain together."

After finishing speaking, I didn't wait for the two pass guards to make any gestures. I rode on the magic yam and raised my flight altitude, and flew towards the hiding place of our Falcon team on the opposite mountain...
