Heart of the Castle

Chapter 614
When the incident happened suddenly, Sir Rodriguez shouted in surprise and anger, and the death grudge, which was as dark as twilight, broke out suddenly, breaking through the constraints of those talismans made by Mr. Dish, leaving two scars on Kalmos' bloody roaring shoulders. A pitch-black palm print.But even if the Scourge Knight had charged towards Li Wei with all his strength, it was still too late, and the yellow-green light had wrapped around Li Wei's wrist like a living snake.

The young Griffon Lord's body erupted with a burst of silver-white battle energy in an instant, but the sacrificial battle energy that had reached the peak of the scattered battle energy was too fragile in front of the yellow-green light, and it was like the white light of a healing technique in the blink of an eye. The same collapse dissipates.

Li Wei's reaction was quite accurate. At the moment when he broke out with the help of fighting energy, the blue light of the dispel technique had already started to flash in the palm of his right hand, but the yellow-green light suddenly flicked as if it had been burned, and it played a role in the dispel technique. Before, it shot straight at Li Wei's chest.

At the moment when the yellow-green light was about to touch the skin, Li Wei suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest, and then a fiery red light flew up, like a long whip, and hit the yellow-green light precisely.

The two rays of light collided with each other, and the sound was as sharp and piercing as the howling of a dying beast, which was beyond the limit of human hearing.Li Wei took a step back, tried his best to resist the urge to cover his ears with his hands, and concentrated on summoning a strong blue light of dispel to block in front of him.

However, his actions proved to be in vain, the strange yellow-green light had been completely defeated by the red light, leaving only a strong suffocating stench left.The red light seemed to have no loss, it circled proudly in the air, and then submerged into Li Wei's chest again.

Li Wei frowned first, and then smiled wryly. The dispersal technique in his hand did not have any blocking effect, because the fiery red light also came from the heart of the castle, and now it has once again dormant on the altar of flames.

The yellow-green light is obviously the culprit that has plagued Kalmos' bloody roar all this time, making his wounds not only unable to heal, but festering and corrupting.After the light left the body, the orc king's strong body immediately recovered a bit, and he was able to stand up from the tree stump.

"The invincible God Gogmaoya!" Kalmos covered his cheeks with his hands in a bloody roar, and growled with some embarrassment, "What did I say just now, shameful, shameful! That kind of weakness How could the thought of this appear in my heart? By the way, it is the trick of the devil! It must be!" Then he opened his bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar.

"Waaagh—!!!"

Hearing the familiar roar of the orc king, the strong pig leader and more than a dozen orc roaring warriors rushed into the shack immediately, "Karmos roars bloody! Wakao! The biggest, strongest, best! Waaagh——!! !” They yelled, waving their strong arms, and every ugly face was filled with excitement and excitement.

They do have something to be excited about and excited about.The great orc king, the governor of the Eastern and Western Gulun tribes and the lord of all armies, Kalmos Bloody Roar has got rid of the troubles of pain, swept away his decadent mentality, and stood in front of all the Orc Roaring warriors again with a majestic posture.

The orc race is not only brave and good at fighting, but also very bloodthirsty and brutal. It is not so much that they are dejected because of their disastrous defeat at the hands of the demon army, it is better to say that it is because of the influence of the uncharacteristic decadence of their governor Kalmos Bloody Roar .When Li Wei accidentally solved the pain that plagued Kalmos, the remnants of the orcs regrouped in a way that was unique to them.

That's... Waaagh—! ! !
With each other echoing "Waaagh——!!!", thousands of orc roaring warriors regrouped. They once fled in embarrassment in front of the overwhelming numbers of the demon army. They were once sluggish because of the leader's decadence. However, when the sound of "Waaagh——!!!" resounded through the sky, the eyes of these orcs immediately burned with violent scarlet anger. Every orc puffed up his chest, opened his mouth, and tried his best to speak That iconic roar.

"Waaagh—!!!"

Compared to the excitement of the orcs, the human refugees seemed extremely panicked. Many people rushed out of the shack like a swarm, or got up from the campfire, and ran towards the outside of the wooden fence without thinking.Their faces were pale and their expressions were stiff, as if the army of demons had arrived with an unstoppable momentum, and everyone was facing a catastrophe.In order to compete for the first way out of the fence, they even pushed and shoved each other, and even fisted each other. It seemed that at this moment they had turned into violent beasts, and their humanity was gone.

Li Wei saw this scene, and the young griffin lord couldn't help turning blue with anger.Among the refugees who escaped from Xifeng County, there were not many old, weak, women and children. In fact, due to the fierce attack from front and back by the demon army, Kaidar Fort fell without even surviving the whole morning, and the orc tribe had no support either. By the time the sun set, most of the citizens of Xifeng County who had escaped the encirclement of the two demon armies were young and strong, and many of them were even soldiers who used to hold swords and spears.

Not to mention that compared with the orcs who were born warriors, and compared with the sturdy and tough northerners, these refugees from Westwind County also behaved too badly.Their morale has dropped to the bottom, and their will to fight is even more worrying.Li Wei knew very well in his heart that even if he tried to use discipline and system to restrain them and let them barely form an order, as long as the demon army appeared on the horizon, these people would panic like a group of rabbits that had just escaped the hunter's snare, and then rushed away scattered.

"As fighters, I'm afraid these people are useless." Li Wei sighed forcefully, tapping his fingers on the wall of the shack subconsciously, "There are thousands of young and strong people here, and a large part of them are After formal military training, if it can be used properly, it is enough to form an army that is not inferior to the defenders of the Ice Wall Great Wall."

"Master Levi, these people are scared out of their wits. If you want to restore their courage to face the devil, it will take a long time." Sir Rodriguez made a judgment in an expert tone. "We don't have enough time to appease these poor people, and we must move them to the back of the line of defense, otherwise when the demon army appears, the rioting refugees may cause us a lot of trouble."

"Sir Rodriguez, according to what you said, these people don't even have the ability to assist in the transportation of supplies?" Levi shook his head in trouble, "Now the army of demons may appear at any time, everyone's strength is It is so precious, thousands of people...maybe enough to decide the outcome of this war, can't we think of a way to use these people?"

"Of course there is a way, Master Levi." Sir Rodriguez replied somewhat unexpectedly, "But it may be more difficult to accept. I don't know if you want to listen."

"I want to hear it." Li Wei said with a heavy face.

"There is a special ritual in Dark Alchemy, which allows undead creatures above the intermediate level to enslave the souls of the living, and the number of slaves increases according to the strength of the undead creatures." Sir Rodriguez said, his tone seemed a bit secretive and gloomy, "There happens to be such a group of invisible undead creatures in the heart of the castle. No matter the deceased from the Magic Mountain in Iron Rock City or the death knights subdued by Queensland, they can all meet the requirements of this ceremony. Under the manipulation of the undead creatures, these frightened The bravest will become the bravest warriors and will be of great use in the war to come."

Levi was taken aback by this cold suggestion, "Sir Rodriguez, the method you proposed is too cruel. Let me remind you that we are here to fight the demon army to save lives, not to enslave souls!"

"This dark alchemy ritual is not irreversible, Master Levi." Sir Rodriguez continued to explain, "After the war is won, we can reverse the ritual and release these enslaved souls."

This time Li Wei thought for a little longer, with a shaken expression on his face several times, but finally shook his head vigorously. "No, I can't." He refused with some difficulty, "This war is very difficult, from the commander of the coalition army to the ordinary soldiers, the Eternal Sleep Guide is fair to everyone. I hope that everyone who goes to the battlefield People are courageous from the heart, and they will smile generously even in the face of death, not puppets whose souls are enslaved by undead creatures."

"Master Levi, your idea may be a bit too ideal." Sir Rodriguez criticized without a trace of emotion, "Even in the most elite troops, there will be cowardly individuals, just like Among the weakest troops, there are also brave soldiers. If all those people are left to choose, I am afraid that not even [-]% of the soldiers in the northern border county are willing to fight to the death with the demon army .”

"Whether cowardice or bravery is a choice given by the soul, their choice should not be represented by us, regardless of life or death, otherwise..." Li Wei's voice became heavy, as if there was a huge pressure on his chest. rock, "...how is our practice different from those who sue the dead?"

"In that case, Master Levi, then follow your orders." Sir Rodriguez nodded in agreement, and no longer insisted on his opinion.This made the Griffin Lord, who had just brewed his emotions and was about to have an impassioned argument, quite astonished.

"That...Sir Rodriguez, I haven't given all the reasons yet..." The half-sentence that Levi didn't say was, "...you are too easily persuaded, right?"

"Your choice is my path. As long as you make up your mind, I don't need you to explain anything." Sir Rodriguez replied word by word.

There was a burst of noise outside the shack, and then the orc king Kalmos came in with a bloody roar, with a contented smile hanging on the corner of his blue-gray mouth. "It's so happy, so happy!" He laughed and said to Li Wei, "Lord Li Wei, since I was injured, it's been a long time since I yelled so happily! The little melons are all slack and become women! Now Where did those devil cubs go? Let me go and beat them up!"

It would be great if the excessively high fighting spirit of the orc clan could be distributed to those refugees from West Wind County.Li Wei thought with some headaches, and then went up to meet him. "Lord Kalmos, it is imperative to fight back against the demons, but we must take a long-term plan. We are planning to hold a military meeting in Moonglade, so that the forces of the elves, humans, and orcs can be more closely united to jointly fight against the demon army. invasion."

"The stick orc doesn't want to go to any military meeting. There's nothing to say between the stick orc and those elf bean sprouts!" Karmos curled his lips in disdain and replied in a rough voice.His statement provoked a wild laugh among the snarling warriors behind him, accompanied by clapping and clapping.

"Then, is there anything to say between the great orc and the human shrimp?" Sir Rodriguez stretched out his hands with a half-smile, and the dark twilight vindictive light slowly emerged, making Karmos a little bit He shrank his shoulders in fear.

When the Scourge Knight broke out with all his strength just now, he almost crushed the shoulder blades on both sides of the orc overlord, and it still hurts till now.Kalmos thought about it for a while, and immediately made the smartest choice based on the slang that "good orcs don't suffer immediately".

"This... well, the stick orc is going to the military meeting, and the stick orc is listening to the powerful black iron can."

This frontline military meeting was held in a forest clearing near the outpost in Moonlight Glade. On the one hand, it was to take care of the ancient tree elder Moni who had transformed into a rooted mode to facilitate participation. On the other hand, the buildings in this outpost camp were relatively small. , it is difficult to accommodate all the many participants including more than a dozen tribal chiefs of intelligent races, especially the big men like Bill Dabas, the leader of the wild bears, and Miha Baimane, the chief of the centaur.

Even though it was a clearing in the forest, the elves tried their best to decorate it because of their red-tape-loving personality. Li Wei was taken aback when he just walked into the venue. It should have been just a lawn yesterday, but now It was like a sea of ​​flowers.

Dozens of tables and chairs are neatly placed in the sea of ​​flowers, most of them are carved with many exquisite patterns, and some of them are inlaid with beautiful and mysterious patterns with rose crystals.At first, Li Wei thought that those patterns should have a certain magical effect, but after several detailed examinations with the activation of the detection technique, he finally found that those patterns were just something that more reflected the luxurious living habits of the elves.

Since it was getting late when the military meeting was held, several wild elf sword dancers who acted as waiters were placing some silver plates on the table. The plates contained the special diet of the elves, and various fruits and carved vegetables competed. Yan, it is a perfect fusion with the colorful sea of ​​flowers.Li Wei is sure that he is not a picky eater, but when those flashy foods come into view, he still has a feeling of astringent eyes.

In fact, even the well-informed Mr. Dish is a little afraid to learn about the eating habits of elves. This old magician who has a strong grudge in some aspects is compiling a book called "What We Elves Can Do" in the heart of the castle. The pamphlet "Food" is full of sarcasm and satire on the special diets of the elves.

Except for the flower goblins and the ancient tree clan, the leaders of other intelligent groups in the Moon Whisper Forest have a respectful attitude towards the elves' special diet. The centaur chief Miha Baimane smartly carried two cans of shochu and half a fan of roasted wild boar ribs The leader of the wild bears, Bill Dabas, who didn't think about it at all, could only sit there with a sad expression, pouring cup after cup of mead that was as sweet as water, and occasionally licking his fat Bear's paw chat to satisfy hunger.

As for the sweet sauce boiled carved radishes and water vegetables with mushroom salad on the table, they look very unappetizing. Only His Excellency Levi Stone, the guardian of the entire Kingdom of Arthur, who is dignified enough and must pay attention to etiquette, He had no choice but to taste it in small bites with a bitter face, and at the same time desperately slandered the weird and extraordinary taste cells of the elves.

Fortunately, due to the heavy pressure brought by the demon army, the elves who are the hosts have no appetite. The dinner ended in a hurry shortly after it started. The wild elf sword dancers removed the plates and put on clean tablecloths, Exit the venue.However, they didn't go far, but hid in the nearby jungle to perform a security mission.

Levi Ston is one of the initiators of this military meeting, and has fought many fierce battles with the demon army. He has a considerable understanding of the composition, attack methods and combat effectiveness of the demon army. The main role of the meeting.Martial art master Unicon Fizeld announced the official start of the military meeting, then took a step back, and stood side by side with Sama Fenglanqi, the head of the Silver Pegasus Knights, "Now, please come to the regent of the human kingdom, His Excellency Levi Stone. I will explain to you the relevant information about the demon army."

Li Wei didn't refuse or give in, because it was his intention to propose a military meeting. The Griffon Lord took two steps forward, his stern gaze swept across everyone's faces, and then he spoke slowly in a dignified tone.

"Everyone, time is running out, so I will directly state the relevant information I know. The demon army that attacked the Moonwhispering Forest this time gathered all the demons that attacked Westwind County, as well as the demons that occupied the capital of King Philmeyer. According to the experience of Firmeyer's offensive and defensive battles and the narration of the bloody roar of the orc governor Karmos, we can infer that the high-end combat power of this demon army has at least five or more , The situation before us is very difficult!"
