The mage arrives

The Battle of Danidan was the last orc invasion that took place in a small hilly area called Danidan. It was a small but far-reaching battle.

Facing the orc army, which was on the offensive and victorious, the five Freton knights decided to lead a small number of elite guards to ambush the passing Ugru Ironclaw on the Danidan hills. The situation, for their own breathing time.

But unfortunately, they failed.

Although because of accurate information, five Freton knights managed to capture Ugru Iron Claw with less than [-] guards because of the secret transfer, but after a fierce battle, all five of the five ranks were at the twelfth level. The high-ranking knights of Freyton above level were killed one after another when they besieged Ugru Iron Claw.

Although he also lost a hand, for Wuglu, this is definitely the most brilliant victory.Compared with commanding the army to wipe out one hundred thousand human troops, the orcs who advocate personal bravery prefer to see their leaders defeat powerful enemy fighters with their own hands.

It was precisely because of the Battle of Danidan that Ugru's reputation rose greatly, which laid a solid foundation for the unification of the entire tundra orc tribe.

As far as Freyton's side was concerned, even though the knights in the first battle of Danidan showed a heroic and fearless spirit of sacrifice, they had no effect on the situation of the battle after all, especially under the bleak background of the great defeat, so although Remembered, but rarely mentioned.

Among the five human knights who died were Gordon and Xiona's father.

They clearly remember that in order to buy time for their families and fleeing people to evacuate.Father led the loyal guards of the Freeman family, and rushed to the battlefield without hesitation in the continuous winter rain.The broad back of the shining plate armor galloping on the horse.It was the last impression their father left on them.

Not only was her father sacrificed, but after her death, only a headless body was left behind for burial. The head was flaunted by Ugru Iron Claw as the most glorious trophy in her life, which made it difficult for Xiona to accept.

The soldier who retreated from the front line didn't know why the beautiful noble girl in front of him was so excited. He thought he had said something wrong, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Okay. You go. Report to Earl Renalin, he knows what to do next." Gordon waved his hand to let the soldiers leave, and then looked at Xiona. "Okay, sister, let's go."

Xiona didn't move, but looked at Gordon with her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "Brother, Ugru is here! The executioner who killed my father. It's less than three kilometers away!"

Gordon sighed.He knew that his sister never forgot the revenge of killing her father.However, although Gordon inherited all the memories of this body after time travel, he didn't have much affection for that physical father. There is no strong desire to avenge his father.

If the battle goes well, he is of course willing to assist Xiona to take revenge together. Killing Wuglu Iron Claw can also be regarded as letting the original owner of this body fulfill his wish.But this is the case now.The rationality in his mind told him that the highest priority option was to evacuate.

"Brother..." Xiona stretched out her hand to hold Gordon.The cold touch of the little hand came over, "Please forgive my willfulness. But I want to ask again, are we really hopeless? Is there really no chance to turn the tide of the battle and defeat the enemy? Brother, you are the most important thing in my heart. A powerful mage who can create miracles... I don't want to run away like a coward like last time, leaving regret and sadness in the end. I want to fight like a warrior!"

"..." Gordon was silent.He knew that with his younger sister's character, if he said, "We have no hope at all, we can only retreat", then even if she is sad, even if she is unwilling, she will obediently retreat with him through the secret passage.But he couldn't say that.

All preparations for the plan to destroy the floating fortress have been completed.If you go all out now and really succeed in destroying the secret weapon of the Sansheng Baptist Church, then the situation of the battle will definitely change drastically.

Not only will Freyton's side eliminate the biggest threat in the air, but the central device that commands the poisonous fog dragons and abyssal orcs in the floating fortress will also be destroyed, causing these hybrid creatures to lose control and fall into chaos.

At that time, the situation will be reversed, and maybe the Freytons will be able to win the final victory.

After all, although the front line of the city's defense is collapsing, there are not many casualties among the defenders. If we can organize the scattered and broken troops that were separated in the chaos, and let them regain the will to fight, they will still have the strength to fight.Moreover, although they hated Earl Exon and Derlington, the pig teammates, the Winter Claw Legion had now commanded a high position on a hill outside the city, established an effective defensive position, and continued to resist the crazy attacks of the orcs.This is also a usable force.

However, to achieve this goal, the blade golem with the Mithr energy core installed in its body must reach the floating fortress at a height of a thousand meters.This requires someone to go up in person, place a guiding device in the floating fortress, and then the mage group will activate the magic circle on the roof of the red giant rock fortress, and use the force field energy to send the blade golem on the ground up.

The floating fortress is the biggest reliance of the Sansheng Baptist Church. Its core force must be heavily defended.Originally, the Grand Duke himself carried out this task, and then Gordon assisted him.But now that the Grand Duke is not here, with Gordon's strength, the success rate of completing this plan is probably less than [-]%.

If Xiona was in deep danger now, Gordon would go there without hesitation even if she had to risk less than one percent of the success rate.But for this city and this war, Gordon didn't think he had the obligation to save his life.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on her brother's face, Xiona looked gloomy, and nodded with difficulty: "I see, brother...we are going to evacuate..."

Gordon looked at his sister's sad look, his lips were bitter.He was about to say something when a familiar wilderness wind suddenly blew beside him.

Ms. Mai Yeli arrived suddenly, and then brought an absolutely shocking news to everyone: "Robo woke up, Gordon, he wants to see you."

"!!"

Everyone was too shocked to speak.

The Grand Duke was seriously injured and was in a coma for four days, but no good news came.Not to mention recovering from the injury and waking up smoothly, everyone is mentally prepared when the Grand Duke can't hold on to his death.But unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, the Lord of the Northland actually woke up!

Without further ado, Gordon left with Mai Yeli without asking any further questions.

Ms. Yaling stretched out her fingers, and cast a light yellow whirlwind around Gordon's feet, causing him to run at a sudden speed. In less than half a minute, he came to the Grand Duke's bedroom.

The former legendary mage was sitting on the bed at this time, wearing a purple nightgown, recovering from serious injuries, his face was a little pale, but his eyes had recovered. .

"Gordon, are you here?" Rob Antello said, his voice a little weak.

Gordon nodded, but said nothing.

The Grand Duke got off the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the city engulfed in flames in the night: "I have already understood the progress of the battle. Is our plan ready?"

"Ready. But with your current physical condition, you are not suitable for fighting. I think it is safest for us to retreat. Losing High Rock City does not mean that we have lost the entire war."

Rob Antello's tone suddenly became firm: "No, since the plan is ready and we still have the possibility of victory, why should we give up?"

"But my lord, you are the lord of the Northland, the one who supports the entire Far Frost Province. I think your safety is more important."

Rob Antello shook his head: "I'll show you something."

He suddenly took off his nightgown, revealing that his upper body was not as strong as a mage should be, and then said a mantra: "Antaello Shaping Technique, cancel it."

A green light flashed across the Grand Duke's body, and when Gordon saw clearly again, he couldn't help gasping.

A black belt appeared on the Grand Duke's body, diagonally downward from the left shoulder, and one extended to the right waist.This band grows under the skin, and seems to be composed of a thick black viscous liquid, constantly trembling rhythmically, like a huge parasitic worm on the body.

"It has been 20 years since Azulu planted the black blood curse on me. It has been 20 years since my strength has been greatly reduced, and I have fallen from the legendary realm, and I have to bear the great pain caused by the curse every month. I I tried almost all methods, but failed to lift the curse. This time Azulu returned, I had to forcibly increase my strength to defeat it, but my body was already overwhelmed. Because of Mai Yeli's efforts, although I woke up , but how long this broken body can last, I don’t know.”

The Grand Duke finished speaking slowly, and looked out the window again.His eyes are deep and far away, as if seeing through the thick night, passing through the plains, mountains, and seas, until reaching the end of the world.

He seemed to see through the thick fog of time, the past that had already faded to yellow and faded, now became alive again in his mind.

The Grand Duke seemed to be talking to himself, as if talking to Gordon, and said leisurely: "Gorden, every time I see you, I seem to see myself in the past... In the past, I was like a newly forged long sword, shining brightly, The world around me is simple and pure; today, my body is already old and decayed, and I am trapped in darkness, struggling in vain."

After the Grand Duke finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and his tone suddenly changed, with a sense of determination: "But a rusty sword has its value. Even if it will be smashed to pieces, you must swing it one last time to cut off the darkness!"

Gordon listened silently, without saying anything.

He knew that Grand Duke Rob Antello had made up his mind, and he couldn't change anything.If there is a Grand Duke, the possibility of destroying the floating fortress will indeed increase a lot.

So, what should I do? (To be continued..)
