Heart of the Castle

Chapter 343 Snowy Night, Strong Enemy Attacks
The blizzard arrived as expected in the afternoon, and the sky and the earth were mixed into a vast white chaos, and the visibility became very poor. Even from the watchtower, it could barely observe a distance of a few hundred meters beyond the city wall. In addition, there was a miserable roar The sound of the gust of wind, rolling snow and ice as sharp as a knife danced around, blocking all sights from the snow dancing wind.

Several watchtowers in Greencastle have already lit iron barrels filled with pine wood, bringing a little warmth to the guards. However, due to the need to open windows and shooting holes on all sides, the watchtowers are still frighteningly cold, even if they are full of grease. The pine wood was crackling, and the flames couldn't stop blowing, but they couldn't drive away the chill that went straight to the marrow.

Ordinary soldiers, even with the most stringent military law constraints, have no way to guard the city under such circumstances, but the alchemy warriors are an exception. All the guards in the watchtower have been replaced by alchemy archers, and the mobile sentry on the city wall Also changed into a group of six alchemy pikemen, and a euphorbia warrior as the leader.

Li Wei's approach was criticized by many people secretly, because such a heavy snowstorm made the wilderness very dangerous, not to mention the general army, even a knight with a fighting spirit would be hesitant to move forward, unless he was as old as Donner The Great Knight Commander, who has reached the peak of fighting spirit, has to risk his life to act in the snow.

There are no more than three or five knights who can reach the strength of Donna in the entire north of the Dusk Forest. At this time, they must insist on setting up guards on the city wall. Apart from showing off the discipline of the troops directly under them, they really don't know that Li Wei What is the meaning of this approach.

Only Li Wei knew that although the blizzard was extremely violent and formed a natural barrier that was difficult to break through, he did not feel the sense of security brought by this barrier, but had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

It was as if someone was watching him closely with bloodthirsty eyes, but he didn't know where the enemy was.

It was getting late, and the power of the blizzard seemed to have weakened a little, but it was still whimpering, and the fireplaces in every room in the Green Castle were burning red, driving away the cold of the winter night.Because drinking and having fun is not allowed, many people in the castle went to bed early, but Li Wei did not feel sleepy. He sat quietly in his room, wearing a full set of armor on his body, with the knight sword in his hand, and his eyes were watching. flickering candles on the table,
The firelight from the fireplace reflected Li Wei's young face, and he could clearly see the exhaustion that had been working all this time. Because of the ominous premonition in his heart, he planned to stay up all night and be ready to deal with accidents at any time.However, he should have fallen asleep in the end, because he found that he suddenly returned to before the catastrophe came, and saw the Stern Knight who smiled as harshly as the summer sun, but was warm and kind.

The surroundings were not empty, but all the scenery was like shadows, and the crowd floated by like gray ghosts. The faces of those people were vaguely familiar, but when Levi tried hard to see a person walking past him, When I was there, I only saw something like a cloud of smoke.

Only the image of Knight Ston is very clear, just like before his death, smiling and looking at Li Wei, his eyes are kind like a strict father.

"Master Ston Knight, is that you?" Li Wei asked with some doubts.

"It's me. I woke up from the Kingdom of Eternal Sleep and wanted to see you." Knight Ston's voice was as gentle and proud as he remembered. "Li Wei, you have grown up and become a real knight."

Li Wei felt that his face had turned red and hot. He was about to answer, but found that Knight Ston's expression became serious.

"Remember what I once said to you?" Knight Ston said, "Do you still remember the unswerving motto of knights that should be followed as a true knight?"

"I remember!" Li Wei's reply was decisive and powerful without hesitation, "Sweep away the darkness, show mercy to the weak, and be fearless!"

"Remember this sentence, no matter when, it has been like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future!" Knight Ston said, putting down the visor on his helmet, "It's great to see you, now go back , Liveston!"

"Wait a minute, Sir Ston Knight, I still have something to say to you..." Li Wei's voice suddenly stopped, because he found that his eyes were dark, and a familiar old voice was calling by his ears.

"Leviston, wake up, we are in trouble!"

It's Mr. Dish!

Li Wei immediately woke up completely. He must have slept for a long time just now, because now he only feels his feet are numb, his body is stiff, and the flame in the fireplace is only dark red embers, and the candles in front of him have long been burned out. , Even the curling green smoke has dissipated.

"Mr. Dish, what happened?" Li Wei asked, and opened the vision of the exploration technique, and immediately a green light flashed in the green castle. This is his power, but now There are countless dazzling crimson lights rushing from afar, piercing the high walls of the Green Castle like a sharp arrow!

The rapid and sharp alarm bell rang for a long time, and the silent Green Castle suddenly came alive, and noisy voices came from everywhere.

"It's really an enemy attack!" Li Wei jumped up from his seat, stumbled on his numb feet, staggered forward, and almost knocked the table in front of him to the ground. "Mr. Dish, may I know who is here?"

"There is a breath of death in the air, and the enemy who attacked should be the accused." Mr. Dish replied with anxiety in his voice.Although the blizzard weakened a bit after nightfall, it was still far from stopping. Whether it was bows and arrows or other long-range weapons, they lost their aim in this harsh environment, and could only deal with the undead with swords.

There is no worse choice for human beings than this.

But what was even worse was that when Li Wei grabbed the knight sword and rushed out of the room, there was a piercing sound of breaking above his head!
"What's going on?" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, but he found the answer immediately, "Someone landed on the roof of the main building from the air, and the one that was broken just now was obviously the door leading to the roof of the building. wooden door!"

A group of bright purple rays of light that Li Wei had never seen before appeared in the field of vision of the probing technique. Accompanied by this group of rays of light was a kind of intense and extremely murderous aura.Although the original crimson rays of light outside the city were large in number, they seemed so fragile and insignificant compared to this group of bright purple rays of light.

"Mr. Dish, can you appear again as Master Frederick and use all the power of the Castle Heart to command the battle in the outer city instead of me?" Li Wei's request silenced the old magician, and then With a flash of blue-white light, a portal opened beside the young lord.

Mr. Disch appeared in the image of an exalted lich in a white robe, a golden crown on his head, and a crystal staff in his hand. His body was shrouded in a gentle white light, but there was a worried expression on his skeleton face.

"The guy upstairs is at least as strong as a Viscount with a sword. Li Wei, although you have instant fireball magic, you may not be his opponent."

"But besides me, who else can stop that person?" Li Wei's hand holding the knight's sword was trembling slightly, and he had to admit that apart from excitement, there was indeed an element of fear in it. "Both Wilps and Donner went to the city to guard when the alarm bell sounded, and it was too late to come back to help now, and the knights in other castles were no match for him at all."

Several green light spots appeared in the field of vision of the exploration technique, which belonged to the knight who went to the roof to check the situation after being awakened. Li Wei suddenly became anxious, "Mr. Dish," there was pleading in his voice, "outer city I have left the battle to you, and I will tell Donna through the mark of the blood alliance that you can completely make decisions on my behalf."

Mr. Dish took a deep look at the young lord with his empty eye sockets, "Be careful," he warned, "The heart of the castle depends on you, so for the sake of everyone, please protect your life."

After saying this, Mr. Dish's figure suddenly turned into a white light and came out of the window, and the roaring wind and snow could not cover up his voice.

"Fly the sky!"

Seeing the back of Mr. Dish leaving, Li Wei took a deep breath, and the cool air penetrated into his lungs, which made him tremble suddenly. At the same time, he calmed down, and walked firmly towards the stairs.
