Chapter 118 Daily Life and War [Please subscribe]

Aylward, Tower of Stars.

As the center of power and the anchoring needle of Aylward, the Tower of Stars is a symbol of the Pedler family's rule over Aylward. It is also the foundation for Aylward to develop and build a city in the wilderness.

After the news of the coming Winter War came back, the entire Star Tower became completely busy, with people coming and going, changing its previous deserted appearance.

Of course, this is only a relative term. After all, the number of people who can enter the Tower of Stars is still relatively limited.

Aylward's prestigious military and political leaders gathered in the conference room of the Tower of Stars to discuss with the mages how to deal with this sudden war.

Rey's parents, Riley and Lorna, were also among them.

After all, one of them is the deputy leader of the guard regiment, and the other is the leader of the reconnaissance team. Coupled with their considerable strength, it is destined that this meeting and the subsequent war will be inseparable from them.

Riley and Lorna, who returned home from their official duties, also learned from the head maid Demi that Rey was temporarily living in the Tower of Stars because he had awakened his mage talent.

As parents, they are happy that Rey can become a respected mage in the future.

Because rather than letting Rey grow up to become a warrior, they still hope that Rey can become a mage (Master). This is not only due to family tradition factors, but also has a more important practical significance - in this world, The status of mages is generally higher, especially in areas ruled by mages. This is especially true for Aylward. After all, this is a city ruled by the remnants of Netheril.

However, Riley and Lorna were also worried and reluctant that little Rey would enter the Tower of Stars to receive mage education at such a young age.

After all, Rey is still so young. They are afraid that Rey will be bullied, afraid that Rey will not be able to take care of himself, afraid of him... and they feel reluctant to part with Rey for a long time in the future.

So after the war meeting, Riley and Lorna found out Rey's room number from Eric and planned to visit their son whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

At the same time, Rey was struggling to read on the spherical chair in the living room. Rey turned over the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" with one hand, pointed to the text on that page and read along with the tower spirit:

"The law is the authority, and the law maintains the order of the society, otherwise, the world will be plunged into chaos. The Holy Proverb of the Lord of Light: The power of the law is unshakable, it is natural, just as the sun rises every day, all disputes, any crimes, It can be perfectly resolved in the law.”

"Learn the law and incorporate it into your life; you must obey every word and every word, and in this way, you will discover a world in the profound meaning of the law. As long as you obey the law, there will be no righteous punishment for you to soar; Only then can the power of following precedents thrive, and the powerful will of Amanatta can be made known to the world; the one who sincerely serves the superior will receive his sincere reward; however, if one evades responsibility, one cannot escape severe punishment. "

Tarling read a sentence, and Rey repeated it, holding a quill in one hand and copying it on the parchment.

This kind of motto is similar to the "Whispering Words" written by Rey before his time travel. They are all words spoken by great men, and they also express certain concepts of great men.

This half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" was compiled by the Amaunata Church. It can not only be used as a literacy reading book, but also can subtly spread the faith.

Amaunata is one of the most ancient gods in the Faerûnian pantheon - the Sun God. It is widely spread and believed in Netheril. Called the three giants of the Nese Gods.

Rey's three views have long been formed, and this motto has no impact on him at all.The reason why Rey chose this book as his literacy book was to look at it with a critical and reference eye. After all, Rey has a fate with Him, and the shelf life of this book is not long. As we all know, the three giants of Nese are... …

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong..."

The clear ringing of the doorbell interrupted Rey's literacy rhythm. Without raising his head, Rey replied calmly: "Please come in."

After all, Rey believes that there is no danger in living in the Star Tower, and even if there is danger, he has entered the Star Tower to his door, and there is no point in resisting.That's why Rey continued studying so calmly.

"click~"

"Bao~..."

Outside the door, Lorna and Riley watched the metal door open. They glanced but saw no one behind the door. Lorna, who had originally given her son a surprise and a big hug, swallowed the words that had just reached her throat.

After entering the room, she saw the cute little girl sitting on the seat reading and copying books. Lorna quickly rushed to the seat and picked up her beloved baby. She turned around a few times before putting Rey down.

"Ah~ My little baby is getting more and more handsome and cute..."

Only then did Rey, whose mind was spinning, realize who was coming. He threw the quill away, hugged his mother Lorna's thigh tightly, and shouted softly: "Mom, I miss you so much..."

"Baby, mommy misses you so much..."

Riley placed the gifts he had brought on the small round table and stood aside with a giggle as he watched his wife and son lovingly perform a loving act of motherly kindness and filial piety.

Lorna, who was having an intimate conversation with Rey, looked at the drastically changed Rey with both regret and joy in her heart.

Although the changes in Rey were not very obvious and others might not be able to see them or think they were small, as a mother, she could see the huge changes in Rey at a glance. However, Lorna did not think of anything else, she just thought This is the impact of talent awakening.

However, just from this change, Lorna inferred that Rey's awakened talent was not trivial. She felt even more sad and regretful about this. She regretted not being with her son at this important moment and letting him face everything alone. She also felt sorry for her son. I am happy to have awakened my powerful talent and have a brighter future.

Rey looked at Lorna who was crying while talking, and comforted: "Mom, why are you crying? Did Rey do something wrong..."

"It's nothing, mom is just happy..."

And the current Rey is no longer the Rey who just broke through the mystery of the womb and awakened. After all, he also had a wife and children in the projection world. He immediately understood what was going on, and he quickly used the unique coquettishness of a child. Dafa calmed Lorna down and shared what he had seen and heard in the Tower of Stars. Rey's childish words immediately turned Lorna into a smile.

Looking at the cute son in front of her, Lorna hugged him, pinched his pink face, gently rubbed his hair, and talked for a while.

Then Rey took his parents to visit his bedroom. Although Lorna and Riley had both lived in the same room, they still cooperated with their son to walk around and admired it from time to time.

At the end, when they were saying goodbye, Tool Man, Wood, and Rey's father, Riley, finally spoke: "Rey, don't cause trouble in the Tower of Stars during this period, and you must not leave without permission. In a few days, your mother and I will I'll come to pick you up. If anything happens, just ask your uncle Eric, he will help you solve it and take good care of you..."

…………

After Riley and Lorna left that day, the Tower of Stars returned to desertedness and calmness, but the moods of the mages became heavier and happier.

But in Aylward City, the soldiers in the military camp were quickly gathering, recharging their strength, and checking for deficiencies in Aylward's defense. The whole city became dull, and a sense of depression enveloped it. over the city, but did not cause any commotion.

After all, the splendid mage tower in the center of the city and the hundreds of years of blood accumulated under the city wall have already established the undefeated glory of the Pedler family.

However, the Pedler family is eternally undefeated and aloof, but this does not mean that there are no casualties in this war. The casualties of lower-level professionals and soldiers are inevitable. After all, war is not a child's play, it is a flesh-and-blood Shura field of blood and death.

"Woooooo!"

The dull sound of the horn started this year's winter war. The orc coalition swarmed up like a tide. The catapults were loaded with boulders, and then slowly opened. When the strength arm was stretched to the limit, it suddenly ejected. In the early stage, the millstone The large stone spanned a distance of more than 300 meters and hit the city wall hard.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, the stones shattered, and a pit appeared on the city wall. At the same time, more stones fell on the city wall, and many soldiers had their bones and tendons broken directly by the huge rocks falling from the sky.

"Prepare the crossbow!"

A heart-wrenching sound was heard, dozens of bed crossbows on the city wall were pulled open, and three-meter-long spears were used as arrows and mounted on the bed crossbows.

"ignition."

The soldiers nearby tied the prepared fire starter to the crossbow and lit it.

"emission!"

Following the order, the soldier next to him immediately pulled the trigger. There was a dull buzzing sound, and three-meter-long arrows flew out instantly. The targets of these crossbow arrows were the trebuchets in the distance.Although this heavy and rough trebuchet looks ugly, it poses a very strong threat.

Dozens of crossbows were fired at the same time. Although most of them failed to hit the target, a few crossbow arrows still hit the trebuchets hard. The three-meter-long spear instantly pierced the trebuchets, and the flames quickly burned. stand up.

However, the commander of the orc coalition did not pay attention and continued to direct the trebuchet attack.After all, as old neighbors and enemies for hundreds of years, they already had a mature strategy for attacking and defending Aylward.

Immediately afterwards, the orc coalition began to slowly approach. This army of goblins, bugbears, hobgoblins, gnolls, kobolds and other wilderness monsters formed a crooked battle formation.

The monsters in the front row were holding various wooden shields, crooked and messy, obviously made of freshly felled trees.Although these shields look ridiculous, they still have some defensive power, which is better than nothing.

"100 meters ahead."

The herald gave the order, and all the longbowmen raised their bows and arrows.

"shoot!"

"Crash crash!"

The sound of bowstrings was deafening, and black clouds rose continuously from the human army, then flew to the sky above the orc coalition and fell in an instant. "shoot!"

"Crash crash!"

The sound of bowstrings was deafening, and black clouds rose continuously from the human army, then flew to the sky above the orc coalition and fell in an instant.

The arrows made of fine iron have a strong armor-piercing effect. The monsters' makeshift shields were directly pierced. A large number of arrows penetrated the wooden shields and then pierced their bodies. In a short time, a large number of monsters were killed and injured, and the originally white snow was It was dyed red in large swaths.The orcish coalition, which was advancing menacingly, did not change at all and continued to advance steadily. The red-eyed monsters rushed forward one after another carrying various crudely made shields.

Three consecutive rounds of arrow rain caused hundreds of casualties to the attacking orc coalition, and the formation in front was destroyed before they even got close.

Just when the soldiers on the city wall were getting tired, giant trolls with tall bodies, big shoulders, round waists, ugly faces, wearing wooden armor, holding bone clubs, and tree trunks suddenly appeared on the front line of the battlefield. The troll tribe and the orcs joined forces!
In the center of the coalition and in the front row of the battle line, the accompanying orc shamans and troll priests raised their bone staffs and chanted incomprehensible languages. A strange energy burst out from them.

"Bloodthirsty thaumaturgy!"

"Group Acceleration Technique!"

"Excitement!"

Rays of magical light enveloped the group of troll warriors, and the originally ugly faces became more ferocious, with blood-red eyes, stretched muscles, and prominent veins.

Warlord Salva couldn't help but roared in the sky, and then all the trolls roared.The morale of the monster alliance was greatly shaken.

"charge!"

"Break the city! Kill all those humans!"

Facing the troll's attack, the professionals on the city wall also began to take action to resist the troll's attack on the city wall.Unfortunately, the trolls were too numerous to kill, and a section of the city wall was still breached by the trolls.

Although they temporarily repelled the trolls and monsters from invading through the gap, and sent spearmen and shield warriors to block the gap, the emergence of this gap completely ignited the powder keg on the battlefield, and the monsters' nerves were aroused one after another, and they followed suit. His blood boiled with blood and his eyes were red.

"Victory is at hand, charge!"

"Kill those humans!"

Warlord Salva pulled out his sword with a "clang" sound and rushed forward with the orc army. At this time, all the formations were disrupted. With the help of bloodthirsty thaumaturgy and high spirits, these monsters had only the remaining sanity. Already disappeared, one by one rushed over quickly with red eyes.

The Warg Knights rushed into the battlefield from both sides of the battlefield and quickly approached the city wall. Unlike the chaotic coalition of monsters that attacked in a swarm, these orcs were obviously veterans of war.

Two hundred warg knights were divided into several small teams and wandered in the distance.Behind the Warg Knight is the orc coalition.These warg knights are very alert and have been wandering 150 meters away. Although archers can attack from this distance, those warg knights also have enough time to avoid.These warg knights wandered around, making some strange roars to provoke, and kept approaching the city wall.

On the city wall, Rey's mother Lorna took out an enchanted longbow, and then shot arrows continuously at the nearest group of warg knights.

"Crash crash!"

The bowstring trembled, but in an instant, more than a dozen arrows were shot out one after another.Before the group of warg knights who were closest could react, arrows flew instantly. But in the blink of an eye, several warg knights were hit by arrows one after another. The armor on these warg knights was like paper. Normally, the armor-piercing arrows pierced their bodies directly, but these Warg Knights were not just showing off. They reacted immediately and continued to disperse and change their formation.

Seeing that the enemy kept moving forward, the bloodiest siege and melee battle came next. While the archers attacked the orc coalition forces, the wolf cavalry wandering around raised their scimitars and rushed towards the shield warriors in front of the formation with their companions.

The momentum of the orc coalition made the spearmen slightly agitated. After all, soldiers did not participate in many such bloody battles.But at the critical moment, Aylward's priests from the Amaunata Church took action, and magical spells were inspired from their hands and enveloped the soldiers.

"The whole army is inspired!"

"Group Demonized Weapon!"

"Boost morale!"

The originally turbulent formation calmed down in an instant, and a force emerged from their bodies. At the same time, the weapons of these soldiers also shone with a cold light and became sharper.

After the priest blessed the army with magical effects, the wizards of the Tower of Stars also began to cast spells.

"Group Power Technique!"

"The tenacity of a group of bears!"

"The elegance of a group cat!"

Rays of spell light flashed through, and these soldiers were filled with various BUFFs. Now their strength was more than twice as strong as before.

The orc coalition finally hit the spear formation. The spearmen and shield warriors who had been waiting for a long time merged with their towers and shields, directly forming a 'shield wall'. The spearmen behind continued to thrust out spears from the gaps, and the spears were like The fangs pierced out, and many gnolls and hobgoblins had no time to dodge. Their bodies were pierced by the spears, and then they fell to the ground with blood spurting out.

Under the blessing of bloodthirsty thaumaturgy, the orc coalition did not know what fear was. They rushed forward one by one without fear of death, and then were stabbed to death by ruthless pikemen. Blood quickly flowed in front of the pikemen square. The ground, which was frozen as hard as rock, was soon stained red with blood, and the warm blood soon turned the ground into mud.

The spear phalanx fought and retreated, and the team of longbowmen who had rested on the city wall showed off their power again. The power of the arrows at such a close distance was astonishing. The front of the spear phalanx was directly enveloped by a rain of arrows, and a large number of monsters fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

For a time, the pressure on the spear array was greatly reduced.After a period of melee, the front of the spear phalanx was piled with corpses. Many gnolls even stepped on the corpses to cross the shield wall, but unfortunately they were shot directly into hedgehogs by the longbowmen.

Taking advantage of the rain of arrows to clear away the monsters in front of the array, the spear array took ten steps back and then stopped again.The longbowmen stopped shooting arrows, and more orcs rushed forward.The pikemen once again harvested the lives of the monsters according to actions that had been trained countless times and had almost become instinctive.

"Roar!"

With roars, the orcs swarmed forward like a tide. These green-skinned monsters, which were stronger than hobgoblins, bugbears and gnolls, greatly increased the pressure on the formation as soon as they appeared, and the entire battlefield had become a bloody massacre. The meat field was primitive, violent, and bloody. The orcs smashed open a tower shield, and then swarmed up. The reserve shield warriors behind immediately stepped forward to fill their positions, and the spearmen next to them immediately provided support.

A female mage on the city wall waved her staff lightly, and a strange energy spread from her body. The green-skinned orcs who were attacking suddenly stopped, and even their eyes became a little dull, but they recovered in the next second. The Qingming Festival.

It's just that the orcs who recovered did not continue to attack the gun formation, but instead attacked their comrades first.At one time, more than a dozen orcs were directly killed by their companions. After killing their companions, these orcs did not hesitate at all and turned around to attack their companions.The battlefield suddenly became more chaotic.

An old mage, Suman also took out her staff after seeing everyone else take action. Orange-red fireballs appeared in front of her. With a wave of her hand, dozens of one-meter-diameter fireballs were directed towards the orcs. They smashed through where the coalition forces were most concentrated.

"Serial Fireball!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The fireball fell into the orc coalition, and explosions were heard continuously. The violent fire element directly burned the surrounding orcs' bodies into pieces of coke, and the thick hair of many jackals around them was ignited by sparks. A lot of monsters died.

"Roar!"

A wild roar sounded, and a strong orc wearing heavy armor suddenly rushed out. This orc was stronger than the surrounding orcs. His height of two meters and two made him look very oppressive. The sword he waved in his hand slashed hard. Down, the tower shield blocking the front was directly split into three sides, and then he jumped into the shield array.

As a result, his life was ended by an acid arrow casually fired by Suman.

The shaman who was still behind saw the battlefield becoming anxious and raised the bone staff again. His face, which had turned pale due to the spell, became even more ugly. Releasing the group buff spell to thousands of warriors at once was very taxing on him. However, the battlefield was not as overwhelming as they imagined. Instead, it seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, which forced him to cast spells again.

The orc shaman took out a dark bottle from his arms, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and then poured it into his mouth. Soon the shaman's originally pale face turned slightly red, and there was a violent surge in his body. The energy kept flowing around, and after a while, a lot of sweat broke out on the body.

After taking a few deep breaths, the shaman waved his staff and began to sing. A voice full of wildness sounded from his mouth. The sound was not loud but very penetrating. As his singing became faster and faster, There was also a wild atmosphere all around.

Then a roar sounded, and giant wolves appeared directly on the battlefield as if from the void.

"Netherworld Wolves!" After releasing the spell, the priest's originally strong body suddenly became very weak. His rosy face just now aged rapidly. Soon there were a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his body also became... It was crumbling, as if it could be blown down by the wind.Seeing his appearance, the two orc warriors next to him quickly stepped forward to support him.

A dozen ghost wolves, about two meters tall and five meters in size, appeared on the battlefield.These ghost wolves were extremely fast and rushed towards the spear formation as soon as they appeared. These dark giant wolves instantly crossed the shield wall and entered the spear formation. They waved their sharp wolf claws and directly wiped out the weapons on several spear soldiers. The armor was torn and deep wounds were left on their bodies. For a time, the pikemen suffered heavy casualties.

The orc warlord rode forward on the back of a tall earth bear, holding a ferocious giant ax high in his hand. He stared at the battlefield in front of him and roared: "For the tribe! For the Frost Clan! For our descendants!"

"boom!"

The huge battle ax pierced the air and then hit the ground hard. The orc warlord pointed at the towering city wall in front of him. Countless orcs roared angrily. They held crude weapons and beat their chests with their left hands. Their morale was raised to the highest point. "Frost! Frost! Frost!"

Countless orcs shouted the name of their clan crazily and looked at the gap in the city wall with blood-red eyes!

At the same time, the troll next to him went all out to launch a decisive battle.

The trolls prayed loudly to their ancestors, and the totem poles flashed with red light. Wherever they passed, all the trolls felt the sudden powerful force in their bodies.

This is the battle that will determine the future fate of the trolls!Ever since the troll empire collapsed and they were driven to this barren land, the shadow of hunger and death has been hanging over them.

The long time has caused them to lose a lot. Most of the past writing, past history, and even culture have disappeared. Only a few priests still remember the fragments of words passed down from ancient times.

Now cold, hunger, death and foreign enemies are plaguing this troll tribe. If it cannot be solved, then the tribe will only die. Only by fighting to the death can the trolls usher in the hope of the tribe's survival and even its rise!

As long as you defeat these humans in front of you and occupy this fertile land, the trolls will rise again!
In order to survive, whether they are trolls, orcs or high-level gnolls, they all put their money on the line. If they seize this land, they will be able to achieve glory. Once defeated, everything will be over.

The war must end with the complete fall of one side from the beginning!With no way out, the combined forces of trolls and orcs unleashed an astonishing fighting force.

Killing, killing, only killing...
