Heart of the Castle

Chapter 219 The Frozen Tower
As a young man with the dream of becoming a knight, Li Wei certainly had fantasized about leaping his horse and leading an army to fight on the battlefield, but he never imagined that he would lead such an army.The agile and sturdy wolf-headed men with maces were cruising around the team, the lizard shooters of the brigade marched forward in a neat line, and the hag made a sound like howling, flickering in the mud on both sides of the road, Oversized crows were flying in the sky. From time to time, one of them folded its wings and landed. After a few hoarse crows, it soared into the sky again.

"It's just a group of demons dancing wildly." Captain Els, who was walking beside Levi with a huge shield, couldn't help but muttered. "If it wasn't for saving the people of North Orla, I would never go with these monsters. Who can guarantee that they won't suddenly go crazy? Maybe when I wake up, I will find a few dog heads gnawing on my bones. "

"Wolf of the Sharp Tooth Tribe doesn't know how to eat tin cans." The leader of the werewolf who was as sensitive as a wild wolf leaned over and bared his teeth and said, "The leader of Stiba said that we are now an alliance, and our werewolf won't be like that. We swear as human knights, but we are as loyal to our allies as any knight."

Captain Ayers raised his head in doubt, and announced: "I don't believe the guarantee of a guy with a wolfhound's head. My shield will be vigilant at any time. If you betray the covenant, I will let you have a good taste of this." It's amazing."

"Whether it's a dog or a wolf, they are much more credible than the loyalty of humans." Worf retorted, "But Worf believes that the tin can will not betray the covenant, because there is not so much wisdom in the can."

Li Wei felt a little powerless in his heart. With his legs clamped, the pony kicked and stepped up, leaving these two guys who were getting louder and happier.

The road under their feet gradually widened and drier, and the red willow and water cherry trees were also gradually becoming rare. It seemed that the team was about to leave the scope of the rotting swamp.Li Wei looked at the setting sun that hadn't completely fallen from the sky, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Crossing the Rotten Swamp in one day, if this achievement is placed on an ordinary team, it is really incredible.However, after reaching a covenant with the swamp aborigines to jointly eliminate the dead, all the difficulties and dangers of the rotten swamp were solved with the help of the aboriginals.Li Wei raised his head and looked towards the middle of the team. Babrupa, who had been driven off from his position as a guide, walked there with a disappointed face, and two wolf-headed men followed behind him holding his bark box.

"Human boy, we're almost there." A hoarse voice came from behind Li Wei, which startled the young knight. When he looked back, it turned out that the hag leader Stiba, who was riding a snakeskin beast, came over. , the old hag's eyes are clouded with white cloud, and it looks like a blind person, but Li Wei knows that it can see farther than anyone else, and it can see clearly.

Because those big crows flying all over the sky are its eyes.

"We're almost there." The Stiba leader repeated, and then he lifted the big crow on his arm, letting the ominous bird fly high. "My little friend told me that in the hilly area less than 4000 meters ahead stands the abandoned mage tower."

"The team stops!" Li Wei shouted loudly, "The leader of Stiba has found the tower where the deceased is located, let's discuss how to attack there!"

"What are you discussing? Humans are on the left, our Sharp-tooth tribe is on the right, and the Grayscale tribe and the Black Crow tribe are at the rear. Let's fight together and take that rotten guy's head off." Wolf, the leader of the werewolf, said nonchalantly. The flail circled lazily.

Whatever the leader of Worf agrees, the leader of the lizard people Gala will definitely object. The tall and thin guy blinked a pair of yellow snake eyes and sneered, "It's not that simple, hiss, stupid dog, if the one who sues the dead is so easy to defeat If so, we don’t need to unite with humans.”

"The environment near the tower is surprisingly cold. My little friend tried to get close, but even the feathers were covered with frost." Stiba stroked his arm, where the crow's claws had scratched it just now, and there was still a cold feeling.

"It's terrible, we lizard people are not afraid of anything else, but the cold is the most feared." Gala leader shivered, "The cold will make us feel extremely sleepy, so when winter comes, we all huddle in the tribe Hibernate.

"The protective color of the lizardman's scales can avoid the eyes of ordinary people, but it has no effect on undead creatures." Stiba said, "The hags of our Black Crow tribe are also afraid of the cold. In the cold environment, the hags are already slow. Actions will become more sluggish.”

"How about the werewolf?" Li Wei asked, frowning.

"Wolf of the Sharp Tooth tribe is not afraid of anything!" The leader of Wolf raised his flail and roared, then patted his furry chest and said: "Our fur can resist the cold, and if there are skeletons, leave them to us The werewolf is done! Tsk tsk..."

If it hadn't been for the action of sucking back the saliva at the end, Li Wei felt that he would definitely be moved by the rhetoric of the leader of Wolf.After a brief discussion, the mighty team was divided into two parts. The leader of the Gala stationed here with the lizardmen of the Grayscale tribe and the hags of the Black Crow tribe, ready to meet everyone at any time; Skeletons or other things that may appear outside the tower ruins ensure that the main force against the dead can rush into the tower smoothly.

After getting ready for battle, the team moved on.Li Wei and Wilpus stepped on the horses, holding long swords in their hands; the hag leader Stiba followed closely on the snake-skinned beast, holding a strange-looking bone weight in his withered hand like a chicken paw. and a goat skull as a helmet on his head; a large group of werewolfs protected the storm priests and followed closely behind. unfolded strategy.

At the end of the team was Captain Ayers, who was carrying a huge spiked shield. The weight of the heavy armor and huge shield along the way made him very tired. Looking at the squat Babrupa beside him.This guy may be the most reluctant one in the team, but he is also the one who has the least choice. After learning that he will accompany everyone to the ruins of the high tower to deal with the terrible death, this little man's face is so pale that there is no trace of blood. People can't help but wonder if they will fall to the ground and die in the next moment.

After several evasions and pleadings to be invalid, Babrupa opened his bark box resignedly and put all the "precious treasures" inside on his body. According to what he said, he now wears the god of war Barud once used on his head. He wears a sheepskin waistcoat once worn by Morata, the Holy Spirit of Freedom, a fragment of the armor of the Lord of Radiance, Flandara, on his chest, and a few bottles of Alara, the goddess of life, stuffed around his waist. Prepared holy water.

According to this configuration, you can go around the abyss without any injuries, but Babrupa is still pale and his eyes are rolling around. It's uncertain when this squat guy disappeared from the team.

Li Wei, who was walking in the front, suddenly reined in the horse, and raised the knight sword obliquely in his hand, pointing forward. "There are many dark shadows ahead," he warned in a low voice, "Mr. Will and I went to have a look, and the others stayed here."
