Heart of the Castle

Chapter 183 The Insurmountable Fire Danger

Wilps' tone was very affirmative, which shocked Li Wei's heart slightly, and his expression became serious. "Master Wilps, what do you mean, if the devil's lair is located in the volcano of the old man, will there be any problems?"

"Yes, Lord Li Wei, I can't imagine what method you used to get information about the location of the devil's lair. But I can say with certainty that if there is a volcano in the old man's place, thousands of troops will be dispatched A siege will have no effect." Wilps replied without hesitation.

Wilps' words made the knights in the conference room talk a lot. Although they all lived in the Viscounty, there was no second person with rich experience as an adventurer like Wilps.Most knights focus on the viscount's castle or their own territory, and few people think about the few volcanoes far away on the border.

"Master Wilps, is the terrain of the old lord's volcano very dangerous?" Li Wei's question made the grand knight commander show a wry smile, and sighed: "The word dangerous is used to describe the old lord. It’s a little too polite, this Sir’s temper is the most irritable among the volcanoes I’ve ever seen.”

Then he turned around and greeted a servant and said, "You go to my room and ask my servant to bring over the maps, especially those about the active volcanoes on the northern border."

While waiting for the servants to return, Grand Knight Commander Wilps stacked up the plates on the meeting table and introduced the situation of the old Sir Volcano to the knights present.

This volcano is the smallest among the three volcanoes on the northern border, but it is also the most violent.According to Wilps, when the last cataclysm came, the old man's volcano showed great power and wiped the two villages at the foot of the mountain off the map.

Now the old man's volcano is in a period of intense activity. When Wilps was patrolling the territory last time, he took a look at it from a distance.Fiery red light erupted from the top of the volcano, mixed with a large amount of poisonous sulfur gas and dark red ash.Like the honey on the mouth of a honeypot, the magma flowed down the old man's body until the fire was no longer shining on the mountainside, but the high temperature could still spread to a distance of several kilometers.

Without the protection of battle qi, no one would be able to get a foothold on the old man's body, and even if the knights spared no effort to run the seeds of battle qi with all their strength, they could barely climb up, but their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.But demons are different. The environment of the abyss demon realm where they live is even worse than that of active volcanoes, so the fighting power has not decreased, but may have increased slightly.

In this way, adding and subtracting, the idea of ​​breaking through the devil's lair seems unrealistic.

The door of the meeting room was opened again, and several servants filed in, all holding ancient sheepskin scrolls in their hands. Wilps took these sheepskin scrolls, spread them out on the wide conference table, and put one of them A map showing the northern border was found.

"Look, everyone, this is the old sir."

Wilps pointed to a black place on the map and said with a solemn expression.

The knights stood up from their seats one after another and gathered around Wilps.The map that the Grand Knight Commander took out seems to be quite old. The color of the parchment has turned dark yellow, and there are many defects and weathering marks on the edges, but the lines and patterns on it are still very clear and exquisite, with a smooth curly pattern. Text annotations are also easily identifiable.In the place Wilps pointed out, dozens of words were used to describe the horror of the old Sir Volcano.

"Before I was promoted to a knight, in order to realize my fighting spirit seeds, I once climbed the old man who was in a peaceful period. Looking back now, that time was the closest I have ever been to Ku Ximo, the sleeper leader, in my life." Wei Wei The light of memories flashed in the eyes of Elps. When the Grand Knight Commander talked about things that had obviously passed for many years, there was still a hint of fear in his voice.

"Old Sir is the smallest of the three volcanoes on the northern border, which sounds true. But it is also the most dangerous and terrifying. Even when it is calm, the peak is always shrouded in a cloud of yellow and black sulfur. Clouds, and the temperature of the entire mountain is abnormal, and no grass grows. Due to these abnormal conditions, some scholars once suspected that this volcano is the gate to the abyss of the demon world."

When Wilps said this, he looked at Master Sugard, and the old red-robed scholar nodded, and said affirmatively: "Yes, there is such a saying. According to records, every time a disaster strikes on the northern border From time to time, the old man's volcano will enter the active period without warning. This is one of the reasons why I support Lord Levi and believe that the devil's lair is indeed located here."

"The old man's mountain is very steep, without any plant growth, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to climb. Moreover, it is now in an active period, and no amount of troops can approach it." Wilps finally concluded.

"Why do we have to rush to destroy the demon's lair? Lord Demon has already been wiped out by Lord Herbert. Now we can safely survive the evil as long as we keep our territory." Sir Lidwan, Lord of the Greencastle, suggested again.

"The dense fog that shrouded the territory did not dissipate due to the death of Lord Demon. According to Master Sugad's records of previous demonic disasters, only by destroying the demon's lair can the dense fog be dispersed and find a way to open the way to other territories. "Li Wei said in a calm voice, "Now the food inventory in the territory has dropped to a very dangerous level. The food in the castle can only support the supply for three months, and the food stored in the refugee camp needs to be supplied to a large number of refugees. The support period will be shorter."

Sir Ridwan was silent, and he had no way to solve the problem raised by Levi.In fact, no one could solve this problem. The thick fog not only interrupted the traffic from the Viscounty to other places, but also made planting and hunting impossible.If they wanted to survive the disaster safely, they would have to let most of the refugees starve to death.

"I propose, how about gathering all the knights who have comprehended the seeds of battle energy and forming a team to attack the demon's lair?" Dragonson suddenly said in a muffled voice. This majestic high-ranking knight stared fiercely at the map The old lord on the table, as if it could be swallowed in one gulp.

"I'm afraid it won't work. If you haven't reached the level of dissipating your battle energy, you can barely support yourself and climb up the crater at best. The demon's lair is not paper. Once you get into a fierce battle, the speed of battle energy consumption is definitely beyond your imagination." Will. Puth replied in a deep voice, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" the high-ranking knight Di Kewei asked impatiently.

"That's right, Lord Wilps, unless what?" The other knights also said in unison.

"Unless we can grow wings and land directly in front of the demon's lair to attack from the air, then we will have a slight chance of winning." Wilps' words made everyone's expressions collapse.

"Hey, Lord Wilps, are you joking? I heard that only those knights who have reached the legendary level can use the power of fighting spirit to fly in the sky for a short time." Sir Lidwan said helplessly .

"Maybe I have a way..." Li Wei, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said, attracting everyone's attention. A mysterious smile appeared on the face of this young military leader, and he raised his head and said, "Will Master Pusi, are you... afraid of heights?"
