The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 142

It has to be said that Phils is definitely a wily man.

His layout almost forced Orens into a predicament, making full use of his own advantages, and never giving the opponent a chance to confront him head-on.

Thus, the situation developed here.

Whoa!
Just as Orens and Sauron were thinking, heavy rain suddenly fell in the sky, and gray-black clouds condensed above their heads, filled with a strange atmosphere.

"what happened?"

Orens frowned slightly, raised his hand, and let the raindrops fall on his palm, only to find that the rainwater turned out to be light black like ink.

Sauron raised his head and looked at the black clouds above his head, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Cloud beast?"

Thoughts flickered in his mind, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. The black cloud in the sky obviously couldn't be an ordinary cloud.

Recalling the contents of the Necromancer, Sauron felt faintly uneasy.

The black cloud in the sky should be a kind of cloud beast, an elemental creature, and should have a gentle temperament, but now it seems to have been transformed by some witchcraft.

Therefore, the cloud beast has mutated.

It dropped black rain, filled with a pungent smell, and fell on the ground, as if the grass and trees were gradually withering.

"Not right!"

Orens's heart sank. As a great knight, the black rain did not pose much threat to him, but those ordinary soldiers might not be immune to the influence.

Immediately, Orens immediately ordered the soldiers to hide in the bunker.

Fortunately, not long ago, the army had set up camp, and the soldiers hid in the tents one after another, so that they were not directly exposed to the black rain.

"Lal!"

In the same place, Sauron's heart moved, and he used the power of the Raven Spirit Rune to drive Raven the Raven to fly towards the cloud beast.

Flutter and rinse!
The crow Lal was like a monster, it spread its wings and flew away suddenly, its sharp claws grabbed the body of the cloud beast, and tore a piece off fiercely.

As an elemental creature, cloud beasts don't feel too much pain.

But Crow Lal's attack still made it feel angry, and there were traces of faces on the black cotton candy-like body.

Click!
The angry cloud beast opened its mouth, spit out a bolt of lightning, and attacked the crow Lal, but was dodged flexibly by the opponent.

On the ground, Sauron had a thought in his mind.

Crow Lal immediately fell, and Sauron raised the bone wand, grabbed the wand with his sharp claws, and flew directly into the air with Sauron.

"Controlling the spirit!"

In the sky, Sauron summoned four wraiths, which turned into clouds of black mist and rushed towards the direction of the cloud beast.

Since this cloud beast appeared here, there is a high probability that it was under the control of Normaros.

Allowing it to sway the black rain may be a terrible threat to ordinary soldiers, and Sauron will naturally not be indifferent.

The four wraiths attacked, and the cloud beast immediately became uneasy.

boom!
The fire demon Brand turned into a ball of fire, roaring towards the cloud beast, and with just a moment of impact, the body of the cloud beast exploded.

But soon, the cloud beast returned to its original state.

As an elemental creature, the cloud beast has an amazing recovery ability, but it still flies towards the distance in the face of the siege of the four wraiths.

"return!"

Seeing the cloud beast drifting away, Sauron did not order a few wraiths to pursue it.

He didn't know what the purpose of Normaros sending the cloud beast was, so it might be unwise to act rashly.

After driving away the cloud beast, the sky became clear again.

The soldiers walked out of the tent one after another, but there was a trace of shock on their faces. The strange black rain just now made everyone feel a little uneasy.

"We must find a foothold as soon as possible!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind, as he confronted the extraordinary one after another, a feeling of panic began to spread in the army.

If this atmosphere is allowed to develop, it will have a fatal blow to the morale of the army.

"The nearest town to this place should be Yangjiao Town!"

Orens took out the map, pointed to a small town, and said in a deep voice: "It belongs to the territory of Iron Armored City, but the location is a bit remote, so there are not many residents."

"Pass down the order and march into Yangjiao Town!"

"Before dark, take that small town as a temporary foothold for the army!"

After Orens gave the order, the soldiers immediately carried it out. It was not long before it got dark, so they had to hurry up and act.

Soon, the army came outside Giethoorn.

However, when Orens looked at the deserted Giethoorn, his heart sank again. It was obvious that all of this was Phils' arrangement.

"How to do?"

Looking at the silent Giethoorn Village, Uriel's eyes flashed with a trace of complexity. It has to be said that the Duke of Fels in the Western Territory is really a terrible enemy.

From the beginning of this war, it seemed that everything was going according to Phils' idea.

"Sauron, Uriel."

With a gloomy expression, Orens said, "I'll lead an army to explore the way first, and the two of you and the rest will meet outside!"

"Yes, my lord." Uriel nodded.

"No need, father."

However, Sauron shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "If the town of Giethoorn has really been set up by Fels, it would be too dangerous to step into it rashly."

While speaking, Sauron had a thought.

Crow Lal received the order and immediately flew towards Giethoorn Town. Using the ability of vision sharing, Sauron quickly saw the situation inside the town.

"How's the situation?" Orens pondered.

Sauron shook his head. There was no one in Giethoorn Town, as if the residents of the entire town were relocated overnight.

"It seems that there is no danger."

Sauron pondered for a moment, raised his head, and walked straight to Yangjiao Town. Orens hesitated, but did not stop him.

Among Orens' army, Sauron was the only superhuman.

When he confronted Norma Ross before, Orens had also seen Sauron's strength, so he felt relieved about him.

Arriving inside Giethoorn Town, Sauron looked around.

Apart from the silence, there was nothing unusual about this small town. After careful inspection, Sauron returned to Orens.

"No abnormalities were found," Sauron said.

"okay, I get it."

Orens nodded slightly, raised his head, looked at the sinking sun, and immediately ordered the army to enter Yangjiao Town to rest.

Given the current situation, Giethoorn Town is already the best choice.

The army sleeps in the wilderness. If the Duke of Ferrs launches a night attack, he will suffer great losses. Although the fortifications of Yangjiao Town are average, they can at least stop the cavalry from charging.

However, although he decided to settle in Giethoorn Town, Orens did not relax his vigilance.

He ordered the soldiers to handle the town of Yangjiao, and if there was any abnormality, a signal flare warning would be sent out as soon as possible.

At the same time, Sauron also came to the tallest building in Giethoorn Town.

Standing on the five-story tower, Sauron looked down. Here, he could understand the situation of the entire Giethoorn Town for the first time.
