Ashley leaned on the battle flag and stood on the city wall, his posture did not waver.But in fact, without the support of the flagpole, it is difficult for her to even stand now.With the help of Lily and Ella, she was helped into the castle. Ashley's shoulder and ribs were injured, but the injury didn't look serious, she just spent too much energy.
The military doctor and Dong Dong's priests began to rescue the wounded, moaning and cursing one after another, and the city wall was considered to have regained a little vitality.
The sky was pitch black, and this battle lasted from morning to night, and dawn would break in a few hours. The reinforcements from Wangcheng were about to arrive, but it was impossible for the remaining army of Leng Dong to resist the attack again.
-
Ashley's complexion was strangely pale. The cold spider's chelicerae were indeed poisonous. After she was exhausted, her movements showed flaws. Although she avoided the vital points, she still suffered some damage. Blackened and festered.
Ella was testing the properties of the toxin in the crucible. The blackened poisonous blood slowly turned into thick bubbles when a certain liquid was added.
After a while, several tubes of commonly used antidotes were pushed away, and a colorless and transparent liquid was taken out.
She used a silver knife to cut open Ashley's linen shirt. The two purple-black wounds on the knight's fair skin were shocking.
Ella poured the liquid on it, and thick white smoke immediately emitted from the wound. Ashley's body tensed suddenly, and she subconsciously grasped the bed sheet tightly, and there was a short tearing sound from the latter.
After a long time, the severe pain slowly dissipated.She smiled weakly and asked:
"This time... what is it?"
"Consecrated pure water."
Ella added a few more drops of essential oil to the crucible to mix something else.
"The cause of the festering is not just toxin, the cold spider's venom seems to be mixed with a curse... Besides, there is also frostbite."
Lily's hand that was wiping Ashley's sweat shook and she asked quickly,
"Can it be cured?"
"of course."
Ella responded in the affirmative, then added:
"I will use holy water to get rid of the curse first, and take oral medicine to detoxify, but you should not think about activities in the past few days-have you rested? Let's do it again."
Ashley closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she took the towel from Lily's hand, and bit it in her mouth.
The wound under the ribs was more serious than the wound on the shoulder,
After the other party was ready, Ella poured another bottle of consecrated pure water onto the wound under her ribs. A large dark foam immediately appeared on the purple-black wound, and the pure water was like pouring on red-hot metal. , immediately evaporates into smelly white smoke.
Although she was prepared, Ashley still jumped up on the bed in pain. She curled up and trembled all over, and her eyes became distracted.
"Ashley!"
The knight's exposed skin was red and hot, and it took several minutes for her to regain consciousness.
"I'm fine, don't worry ma'am."
Ashley slowly stretched her body, and the sheets were almost completely soaked with sweat.
"Let's go here first for the purification. There are still some parts of the curse left, but your current physical strength is not enough to support it again."
Ella fed her a tube of detoxification potion, and then spread the light yellow transparent ointment evenly around the wound.
"This is Mingshuhua essential oil. It should be very effective in treating frostbite."
After finishing the dressing, Ella sat back in the chair exhaustedly. If she could, she hoped to sleep for a few hours, but time was precious. She drank another tube of magic potion, closed her eyes and entered a state of meditation.
-
I don't know how long it took before the ear-piercing alarm bell sounded, and Ella opened her eyes suddenly, but the bell sound seemed to be different from the warning before the monster invaded.
When she walked out of the castle, there was no abnormality on the tundra outside the city wall, and the sound of horseshoes seemed to come from the snowy forest behind.
In the first ray of dawn, the cavalry formation broke through the dark snow forest, and the bright silver armor was particularly eye-catching!
The leading knight, with white-gold triangular snowflakes embroidered on his cloak and richly decorated armor, was none other than Honorary Earl Charles Moria.Immediately behind him was a slender figure in a gorgeous robe, a court mage known to everyone in the Snow Country.
Knowing now, Ella was truly relieved.
-
Count Moria and Mitland Bell punched each other hard in the chest without any hesitation!
Moria took two steps back and staggered to regain his balance, while Earl Winter stayed firmly in place, but his face turned pale for a while. He touched the wound, obviously trying to hold on.
Mitlan Bell sarcastically mercilessly, showing a disdainful expression:
"The stable life has already dragged your body down Charles, and I can bring you down in less than a minute now."
"You can be considered a noble like this?"
Charles Moria sneered.
"Mitland, why don't you show me your elite Winter Knights? I remember you always liked to show off."
The lord of Winter City scratched his hair, pointed behind him, and replied:
"As you can see, it's all here."
"what--"
The Honorable Earl looked behind the man. It was just an infantry team of about 200 people. They were wearing double-layer armor that was common in winter. Under the hard fine iron helmet was strong and thick leather. The 200 people were almost the same height, strong and tall, with resolute faces. Even if they stood silently behind the earl, they could still feel the sharpness of the sword.
But their number is too small. Moria remembers that Winter had at least [-] foot warriors in its heyday. They could even hunt frost dragons and were the proud knights of Midland.
Lin Dong's current form was even worse than he had imagined. Moria knew she had made a slip of the tongue and fell silent for a while.
The unknown court mage broke the silence.
"Sir Bell, we don't have much time. Are you ready to evacuate?"
"Civilians have been gathered in the camps set up, and there is no problem with the baggage convoys - but if we abandon the city, we will have no danger of defending. It will be difficult for the army to deal with those monsters in the plains or snow forests."
Mitran Bell's concerns were correct. The knights in the royal city could only exert their strength when charging. When escorting the fleeing team, the strength of the cavalry was greatly weakened.
"And that's why I'm here."
The nameless court mage replied.
Chapter 47 A Moment of Peace
After a short preparation and a hasty breakfast, thousands of residents and troops began to slowly evacuate the cold winter, and they had to abandon the homeland that had survived for many years.Occasionally, weeping and cursing could be heard from the crowd, and some elderly people refused to leave Lin Dong, staying here quietly waiting for death.
Ella followed Lily and Ashley's carriage on Byakhee, and they were in the center of the line.The cavalry of the Honorable Earl Charles Moria was at the forefront of the formation, and the scout division of the cavalry was around the formation, or scouting the way ahead.
The thousand light cavalry of the court mages were in the rear, and the infantry knights belonging to Rin Dong got a short rest.
As for those criminals and slaves who had regained their freedom and survived, a small number of them were missing.Lily guessed that the barbarians returned to the tundra to find their former tribe, and a few criminals followed them away.
And more people choose to follow the team to Carlodin or join the regular army. This is a rare opportunity for them. Among them, the bald man named Rogley even got the status of sergeant.
"Miss Williams."
The court mage appeared beside Ayla on a white horse.
"About the so-called... cold spider? Is there anything you want to tell me? From the perspective of a wizard."
She paused and added.
"After all, you fought them head-on."
Ella thought about it.
"This is a dangerous creature that I have never seen before. It is powerful. The spider silk attack is very dangerous. The venom has some kind of curse-like power. It is resistant to many elements. The hardness of the carapace is almost as hard as metal. ...But even so, their individuals are not too dangerous opponents for qualified wizards."
Having said that, Ella narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into a brief silence.
"But that's not all you want to say, is it?"
"Yes, but that's what I'm thinking about, and I haven't come to any conclusion yet."
Ella thought about it for a while, and decided to discuss it with this wizard who was stronger than herself.
"Besides those, there are two other places that really concern me."
"The first is the quantity. It is abnormal for thousands or even tens of thousands of creatures of this size to appear in a short period of time. I don't seem to be able to find anything similar to the cold spider in the records of your Snow Country.
The court mage nodded,
"That's right, their number is unreasonable. There must be something hidden deep in the tundra, so what is the other point?"
Ayla thought of the light flickering at a certain frequency in the eight eyes of the cold spider, and the disgusting sound they made by imitating human language, and a chill gradually rose from her heart.
"Before you came here, Lord Bell once mentioned some information... When these monsters first appeared, they only showed abnormal coldness and patience, but their carapaces were not as hard as they are now. At that time, swords and falling rocks seemed to be easier to deal with." Now, their carapaces are tougher, their bodies are less likely to ignite, their venoms are more deadly, and they even use some crude tactics.”
Ella's voice grew colder.
"I think they're learning or...evolving."
The court mage repeated the words, savoring the meaning.
"Did you collect any carapace or other parts that were better preserved than last time?"
"Have."
Ella gave an affirmative answer, that kind of flesh and blood monster didn't seem to have the ability to see through the illusion. Ella used illusion to hide the corpse of a monster, and collected samples of different parts after the battle.
She handed a leather pouch to the court mage.
"Brain, eyeballs, carapace, limbs and claws, venom, spider silk and glands, I collected some of them all in glass tubes."
"Good, they'll come in handy."
The nameless court mage put away the leather bag and noticed the tiredness on the opponent's face.
"Leave the matter to me now, you need to rest, you don't need me to tell you to clear it? How important is the mental state to a wizard."
Ella understood this very well, and without much hesitation, she got into Lily's carriage.The interior of the carriage was very spacious, and the knight was sleeping peacefully on the blond girl's lap. The latter's head was tilted back, breathing steadily, and there was still a stream of crystal saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Ella smiled silently, leaned on the other side of the carriage, and closed her eyes.During these two periods, her spirit was also approaching its limit. The excessive consumption of magic power, the loss of control caused by Tina's memory, and the highly tense nerves undoubtedly brought a great burden to her spirit.In her vague consciousness, she seemed to see the stairs to the sky and the palace on the moon. The touch of the paper in her pocket made Ella feel at ease. The reception dress was the most important thing on her body.
Feeling the touch in her hands, she quickly fell asleep.
-
This time the sleep did not last too long, the environment did not allow Ella to rest in peace, and the bumpy carriage could not guarantee the quality of sleep.
