Heart of the Castle

Chapter 404 Battlefield, Shock, Request
The dinner in the camp is very simple and belongs to the style of winning by quantity.The servants had roasted large pieces of wild boar over a campfire, and brought it up on wooden trays, and placed a tray in front of each knight, along with grilled onions and mushrooms, both of which had soaked up the fat of the meat. , A rich lard aroma suddenly filled every corner of the tent.Then came whole loaves of brown bread and well-seasoned broth, and steaming fried eggs and sausages, all served in large and small wooden utensils.

Seeing this situation, the knights all felt salivating, because some of them had either fought fiercely with the demon army for a whole day, or had traveled long distances for two consecutive days, and they were fine just now. Hungry.

For the next period of time, only the sound of eating and chewing could be heard, until the plates were all swept away.Then the servants brought a lot of nuts and candied fruit in jars for everyone to eat and talk.Foodies with such prodigious appetites as Dragunson and Babrupa demanded more to make the dinner last as long as possible.

The dinner time dragged on for a long time, and some knights had already begun to doze off due to sleepiness and fatigue. Seeing this, Levi stood up and ordered his attendants and servants to arrange accommodation for Lord Cedric and his party.The White Wolf Guard and the knights happily accepted, but Lord Cedric himself shook his head.

"Thank you very much, but I don't think I need it tonight." The Lord with a Sword, who is known as the Great Commander of the Northern Territory, raised his glass and sipped red wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a fascinated expression appeared on his face. "As a knight, I deeply regret not being able to catch up with this battle, but even being able to witness the battlefield with my own eyes is a pleasant thing. Your Excellency Baron Levi, if it is convenient for you, can you accompany me?" Go up there for a walk?"

Levi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stood up, "Of course, Lord Cedric, I am happy to accompany you."

The two left the warm tent one after the other and walked towards the Great Wall of Ice. The night was dark and the chill was overwhelming. The flags and tents along the way had been dyed black.Due to the limited number of tents and priority given to the wounded and knights, many soldiers could only sit around the campfire, chatting and laughing while roasting all kinds of edible things.The smell of spicy spices and barbecue wafted in the air, causing Lord Cedric to look over in surprise.

"You are very kind to your soldiers, Lord Baron Levi." Lord Cedric asked tentatively, "Is this also an important reason why you were able to defeat the demon?"

"That's right, that's true." Li Wei shrugged his shoulders, and simply replied that the young lord seemed unwilling to answer more on this question, and then fell silent, his face hidden in the night, looking a little mysterious.The two continued to move forward, passing through several tents and hundreds of bonfires, their combat boots crushed the snow, making creaking sounds, and the hot air from their mouths condensed into frost in front of them.

A patrol team consisting of six spearmen and one swordsman passed by. After seeing Levi and Lord Cedric, these soldiers stopped and tapped their chests to salute.Lord Cedric nodded briefly, but Levi returned the salute with a meticulous and standard posture, with a serious expression and no slack in the slightest.

The corner of Lord Cedric's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something. It should be a very disrespectful thing for Levi, who is a superior, to return salutes to ordinary soldiers under his command, but when he saw that whether it was those soldiers or Li Wei When Wei Du took it for granted, Lord White Wolf fell into deep thought.

After passing by the patrol team, the tents gradually thinned out, and the surroundings suddenly became silent. Levi stopped in his tracks suddenly, and Lord Cedric, who was preoccupied, reacted a bit slower and almost bumped into the young lord.

"The Great Wall of Ice, we are here." Levi explained, while secretly frowning, feeling strange about Lord Cedric's appearance.

Lord Cedric stood still, raised his head and gazed at the Great Wall of Ice.

The ice wall in the north of the camp was ten meters high, standing tall like a giant blue-white snake.Every few tens of meters, there is a large oak watchtower built close to the ice wall, like a row of extraordinarily tall and mighty knights, wearing white armor, looking vigilantly to the north.

At this time, the sky was full of thick clouds, and the moonlight and starlight were completely blocked. The bonfire in the camp was shaken by the cold wind, flickering, and sparks sprang out from time to time.Beyond the radiant range of the campfire it was pitch black, with neither warmth nor light.But this ice wall is an exception. It seems that there is a light source inside, and there is a mysterious gleam of bluish white in the darkness.

When the Great Wall of Ice was being built, everyone had a sense of urgency that a sharp steel fork was hanging over their heads, and they might be assassinated at any time.The demon's marching speed is far beyond what the human army can match. If the demon commander ordered to speed up forcibly, he could arrive at the battlefield three or four days earlier at the earliest, when the Great Wall of Ice was more than half built.

Although there was information sent back by Scott, the quasi-burning lord, Li Wei did not pin all his hopes on that news, so the construction of the Great Ice Wall was very hasty. When Lord Cedric walked under the ice wall Only then did I realize that the steps leading to the top were completely carved out of ice, not only narrow and steep, but also extremely slippery.There is a handrail made of rough wood next to it, which zigzags and climbs like a black snake, with ice blocks nailed into the end, and it is firmly frozen inside.

Lord White Wolf stepped up the ladder, stepping on every step as firmly as possible. A height of ten meters is nothing for a knight like him, but if he falls down because he didn't step on it, he will lose a lot of face .

The sound of the rapid flow of the Black River was absorbed by the thick walls of the Great Wall of Ice, and when Lord Cedric climbed to the top of the wall, the sound returned to his ears.The pitch-black river still carried a roaring rage, constantly scouring both banks, and because there was a huge obstacle in the middle of the river, the sound of the torrent hitting and beating was even louder, like a thunderstorm. There was a continuous roar.

Looking out from the crenel on the Great Wall of Ice, it seems that the whole world is under your feet.The north bank of the Black River was a mess. It was once the place where the demon army was stationed. Now, apart from the ashes of the campfire, there were also large swathes of purple-black blood and countless stiff corpses.Lord Cedric silently counted the number of corpses in his heart, and quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.

The demon's corpses spread all over the north bank of the Black River, spreading to the limit of the field of vision, hardly revealing the true color of the ground.Not to mention the layers of demon corpses at the foot of the ice city, all piled up to the bottom of the battlements.What particularly caught Lord Cedric's attention was that on both sides of the Black River there were a dozen exceptionally huge earth pits, several meters deep, surrounded by fragments and plasma of countless demon corpses.Imagining the tragic scene that happened at that time, Lord Cedric even felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart. If it hadn't been for the God's punishment from the Thunderer, he could hardly imagine what kind of power could destroy those demons so thoroughly?
"Your Excellency Baron Levy... What happened here?" Lord Cedric heard the footsteps coming from behind, and immediately turned his head, pointing to the big pits below the city with his hands.

Hearing Lord White Wolf's question, Li Wei's face flashed an imperceptible hesitation, "Although a weapon is powerful, it is also very limited and expensive." This explanation is obviously prevaricated, but Cedric Lord Ke's face stiffened slightly.

"Are these big pits caused by a weapon? Not the miracle of Tomica the Thunderer?" He looked at the big pits in disbelief, calculating in his mind what kind of power would be needed to achieve the same destructive power. It made him feel even more incredible.

Compared with those around Levi, Lord Cedric's experience is more colorful, and his war experience is also much richer.Wilps and the others were also shocked by the power of the black cylinders that fell from the sky, each one destroying a complete demon team, but they were not as surprised as Lord Cedric by one-tenth so many.

Lord Cedric had seen something like it, but only once.It was ten years ago when the evil disaster came and the demon army besieged North Orla. At that time, King Arthur's court mages participated in that battle, but they were suppressed by a team of fire-throwing monsters led by several hell flame demons.Their leader—Jono Ann Merister, the fire mage who is also the vice president of the Mage Guild and one of the Nine Pillars family, cast a terrible spell called Dragon's Breath Annihilation in order to save his subordinates, directly destroying the Most of the fire monster team.

Dragon's Breath Annihilation is the signature unique magic of the kingdom's great magister Qiu Nuoan. The effect is similar to the big pit in front of me. However, due to the explosion caused by the ultra-high temperature flame, the corpses of the demons have also turned into coke. It seems that the scene in front of me is not as tragic as the scene in front of me.

Even the great magister of the kingdom needs to use the most powerful magic to produce a similar effect.And now there are more than a dozen large pits on both sides of the Black River, which is equivalent to more than a dozen great magisters of the kingdom showing their power at the same time...

Lord Cedric took a deep breath. Now he feels that it is not unimaginable to successfully repel the demon army. This terrible weapon is terrible for both morale and actual damage. Lord White Wolf even It is impossible to imagine what kind of army can resist it.

I'm afraid it is the Kingdom's Four Great Knights, and it may not be...

This slightly profane thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and then Lord Cedric shook his head violently, and then sighed gloomyly.

"Your Excellency Baron Levi, I would like to take a look at the head of the demon general Kleinus, is that okay?"

"Of course." Li Wei nodded, then turned his body sideways, "The heads of those demons are here, please follow me."
