Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

The Chief of the Imperial Guard glanced at it, and said, "There really isn't one, but there is no bridge here either. The nearest bridge is two hundred miles away, and there are mountains on the opposite side. It's better to go this way..."

"Can you swim?"

The Chief of the Imperial Guard suddenly smiled and said: "General Leoric, I don't intend to offend, but anyone who has fought in the swamp should know that this river is fast-flowing, and it is said that there are hidden reefs and whirlpools, even if it is water-based An excellent old fisherman, he didn't dare to swim rashly. Our soldiers wear armor and equipment, as well as supplies and so on. People can pass, but things can't. Oh, I almost forgot that you have war horses, those The cattle will drown."

Leoric also laughed, and immediately said loudly, "Romela!"

"exist!"

The queen of the half-blood elves stood up and replied with a crisp voice.

"Can your troops swim across?"

Her Lady Queen laughed and said, "Wild Duck River, of course there is no problem! We used to graze in this river."

Grazing in the river?

The plateau people don't understand the culture of the elves, so they all look at each other in dismay.However, Leoric has seen these half-breed elves having fun in the river. The good water quality makes the dolphins feel ashamed, and they will definitely not drown.

"Okay, let's swim across the river." Leoric nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay—is General Leorick for real?Do you really want to cross the river from such a dangerous place?

Parov, chief of the Imperial Guard, only knew that Leoric was a war prodigy, but he had never really worked with him, so he didn't know Leoric well.Seeing that Leoric was young, he was afraid that the young man might be in a hurry and lead to aggressive tactics, so he persuaded him: "General, even if you can cross the river, you have to go around the steep valley next. It will take seven or eight days, and it can exhaust people to death..."

Leoric pointed to the map and said, "I don't think this valley is very wide. Can we build a bridge to the other side?"

Parov widened his eyes and said, "Isn't the valley of 100 meters wide enough? The king wanted to build a bridge many years ago, and he hired many skilled craftsmen, but he couldn't make it look like it! General, I know you are brave and invincible , but this is technical work, not something that can be solved by courage and brute force."

"Don't worry about it, I have my own way."

At this time, the knight of Lei Kui's family was in a hurry. He was eager to protect his master. He was afraid that the support would go wrong, so he stood up excitedly and said, "General, don't be joking! There is no turning back when you shoot your bow. Once you decide to go north , you can’t go south, if the road to the north doesn’t work, then Lei Kui’s family… will really be doomed. I ask you to think twice!”

Leoric nodded indifferently, and said, "Knight, I can understand your feelings, but you must know that to win a battle, you need courage."

"Of course I know the importance of courage..."

"But what is courage? Answer me, what is courage?" Leoric asked him.

"Courage is... not being afraid."

Leoric nodded and said: "Fearless is certainly a kind of courage, but more often it becomes reckless. Therefore, I think true courage should be precise judgment. Being able to overcome all kinds of mistakes Among the choices, like the legendary sharpshooter Lopus, he shoots the correct one at a glance, and goes all out to carry it out! This is true courage. Finding the correct one among a hundred answers may be very difficult. Difficult, but often easy to find the wrong. Going south is certain death, so we have to go north—even if the north is risky."

Leoric stood up and said, "Let's go north! According to my plan, we can reach Lei Kui's territory within three days! Romila, gather the elf knights immediately, and we will set off tonight!"

"Yes, General!"

That knight still wanted to stop Leoric, but at this time Shia said, "Just listen to Leoric, Knight Hyder."

"Miss, this..."

Shia said with a smile: "I know this man very well, he will never let me down."

So Leoric gathered [-] elf cavalry that night, preparing to march from the north to the mountain city to rescue his father-in-law.

Before leaving, Teves stopped him and said, "Leoric, there is another piece of news that I can't tell just now."

"whats the matter?"

Teves came to him, lowered her head and whispered, "It's about General Akkad."

"What, the old man has news!?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

General Akkad has been out of contact since he returned to Wangbei City. During this period, Leoric sent many people to inquire about the information, but they all returned without success.General Akkad was a man worthy of the three words of a true hero, and Leoric admired him very much.Moreover, the old man can be said to be kind to Leoric. The two usually forget their friendship, and sometimes they are like father and son. After the old man lost contact, Leoric has been very anxious.

The princess suddenly mentioned this name today, and Leoric suddenly felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead, and asked excitedly; "If you have any news, tell me quickly!"

Teves nodded and said, "I was told by a deaf-mute servant in the palace. He wrote a note privately, saying that General Akkad was taken away by Nicholas at noon three days before the rebellion. I knew where I went. Later, I found the guard on duty that night, and said that a car covered in black cloth was leaving from the south gate, escorted by Duke Nicholas' guards. I guess it was Akkad, and he was probably driven by Nicholas's took to Bachelor City."

Leoric scolded: "Damn it, why did this bastard take the old general away? Could it be taken as a hostage?"

Teves shook her head and said: "I don't know, but since the person was taken out of the city, he is probably still alive. I have a group of intelligence personnel myself, and I will let them continue to investigate. I will report to you as soon as I have news." inform you."

"Thank you so much!"

Leoric worked with Teves for a while, and felt that Her Royal Highness was very reliable in her work, bold and careful, and reassuring. Compared with her bastard father, she was really much better.

"Well, Your Royal Highness, I'm going to support my father-in-law, and I will leave the affairs of Wangbei City to you."

Hearing this, Teves fell silent. She lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something.

"Your Highness?"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Teves came back to her senses, "I was just thinking...you are really amazing, I used to think I was the most powerful person in the world, really, I used to think so."

"You're really good, no kidding," Leoric said.

"But you are better than me, you are younger than me, you are better at fighting than me, and you are better than me..." She bit her lower lip and asked, "Leoric, what do you want to do after the rebellion is quelled?" ?”

"Continue the Northern Expedition and recover the homeland." Leoric said without thinking.

"why?"

Leoric asked back, "Why do you want to be king?"

Teves smiled wryly. She looked at the tall city wall and said, "I am the princess of the empire, the future queen of the plateau people, but I have never seen snow—I can't even realize such a humble wish to see snow. What kind of queen am I?"

"I'm tired of the hot and humid swamp, I hate the mosquitoes and moss that can't be cleaned forever, I want to go back to my hometown like my ancestors, drink soju, wear a mink robe, sit on a warm flint bed and watch the snow fall outside the window."

Leoric thought to himself: This dream of yours is very grand, but in fact, it can be satisfied by going to the Northeast countryside, and you can also take the whole butcher dish, and then have a pot of buns.

"So, I will bring thousands of troops to kill the diamond on the plateau and take back everything that belongs to us."

Leoric smiled and said, "Then my reason is the same as yours, Your Highness."

"Really?" Teves nodded, looking at the smile of the man in front of her, the tangled thing in her heart suddenly smiled like ice and snow.A dry and cool evening breeze blew outside the city gate, and the sweat sticking to her neck quickly evaporated, allowing her pores to breathe freely.As a result, the entangled things in Teves's heart also disappeared. She thought: To be a king, you must have the spirit of a king. If you are suspicious all day long, then what is the difference between me and my father?

If you get too entangled in the past and the future, you will lose the courage to live in the present and become a coward who looks forward and backward.

"I wish you a triumphant return, Leoric." Teves beckoned, and a servant at the side brought spirits to the two of them.

"Thank you."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one go.

The pungent spirits spread out in his mouth, the night owl let out a piercing cry in the air, and Leoric's fighting spirit also rose——damn, a group of valuables, dare to touch my father-in-law?Don't take me seriously, right?

Dark clouds are like ink, killing intent is like wine.The "eye peck" in Leoric's hand seemed to sense his killing intent, and also flashed a faint red light.A chaotic murmur sounded in Leoric's mind, that voice was a bit like the Crow King. Although Leoric couldn't understand what he was saying, he could feel the strong negative emotions of the wraith.

"Eyepeckers" desire to kill as crows desire eyes.

Leoric stared at the blood-red orb inlaid on the black knife, and the orb seemed to be staring at him too.

"King Crow, I know you hate me," he whispered in the barbarian tongue, "but you don't hate killing."

"Serve me and you'll drink blood."

"The blood of plateau people, the blood of barbarians, the blood of demons, the blood of demons, the blood of all living things...you can taste them all."

"Then, bloodthirsty undead, what dissatisfaction do you have?" Leoric sneered.

The weapon trembled violently several times, then calmed down immediately.The whispering in Leoric's head died away, and the Raven King's wraith stopped cursing.

However, after the resentful spirit fell silent, its killing intent became even stronger.

At this moment, the midnight wind stopped, the owl no longer crowed, and even the insects in the grass gradually disappeared.The soldiers present felt a huge sense of oppression, making them breathless.They want to run, scream, swing swords, kill, and even be killed.

The soldiers were mortals who lacked magic power perception, so they couldn't tell the source of this sense of oppression, but Romila knew what was going on.

Such a powerful killing intent!

She concentrated her attention and looked at Leoric's back with her "magic eyes". She saw a black magic power surrounding his body, and a white wraith hovering above his head.

Romila heard from the old regent that after this person died, the spirit of the dead would not die.They will collapse in the air, [-]% will go to Hades, and the remaining [-]% will remain in the world.Some will remain on the corpses and become undead creatures by chance; some will remain on the objects of the living and become well-known holy relics; some will entangle the killers and try to take revenge.

However, it is very difficult for these souls who seek revenge for their lives to succeed - when they were alive, they all became the souls of killers under the sword, and they became weaker after death, so how could they chase their souls and seek their lives?Even more ironic, the harassment of these dead souls will instead temper the killer's soul power, allowing him to have stronger magic power, spiritual power and murderous aura.

This is why, those demons who kill countless people often have powerful magic power and spiritual power.

The old regent said that this is an absolute secret and must not be made public, because if anyone knows that killing people can increase their magic power, they will become complete murderers.

Regardless of whether the motive is good or evil, Leoric's hands are already full of blood and debts, and the number of people killed by him may have reached four figures.There are countless people who died indirectly because of him.

These undead who died at Leoric's hands hovered around him, awakened by his killing intent, and became his strength.

No wonder, even the wind stopped at this moment.

Leoric held up the black "Eyepecker" and shouted: "Target, Mystra City!"

"In three days, I want to see rivers of blood!"

……

Although Duke Tommen Requi was not as victorious as Akkad in his military life, he seldom suffered such a big loss.He didn't know if he was the savior's eagerness, or if he was really old and confused, and he did such a stupid thing.

"Get the ammunition to the north wall tower, hurry! Are you all fucking deaf?" he bellowed, and the soldiers ran across the castle's stone floors like a herd of frightened antelope.

The Duke raised his head, only to see arrows falling like raindrops. He firmly grasped the bricks and stones of the city wall with his bony fingers, as if he wanted to knock the stones down. Outside the "Mountain God Fortress" are countless soldiers of the Jagober family, some of which are Jagober's private army, mercenaries, lizardmen, and even barbarians!Behind these "rabble" are long-armed catapults, goblin ballistas, longbowmen... and all kinds of money-burning siege machines.

The three nobles of the plateau people are Lei Kui, Jagober and Nicholas.Among them, Jagober is the richest. He occupies ports, pastures, and gold mines. His family members are also good at doing business, so he can be called an incomparably rich country.They formed a large army with a huge amount of money, and recruited many good generals with their rich contacts.

To be honest, Duke Lei Kui admired Jagober's methods a lot. If the Jagober family was willing to use the methods on the right path, the plateau people might not be as depressed as they are now.However, for the sake of being rich and benevolent, this guy colluded with that jackal Nicholas, consuming the power of the country like two parasites.Duke Lei Kui foresaw today's situation a few years ago, but the king is old and the princess is young, he intends to kill the thief but is powerless.

At this time, the soldiers of Duke Lei Kui shouted: "Lord Lei Kui, the city wall is too dangerous! Please stand back!"

Lei Kui said loudly: "I'm wearing heavy armor, I'm fine!" Before he finished speaking, a stone the size of a pumpkin flew over his head.The stone slammed into the wall behind him, the gravel splashed, and finger-thick cracks appeared on the thick wall.

The soldier pointed to the stone and said anxiously: "Can your armor block this!?"

"To shut up!"

The more desperate the situation, the more brave the general must show.

Akkad is his best friend and his military teacher.The old man said something that left a deep impression on Duke Requi.

"The generals who climbed the city wall will not die, but those cowards who dare not climb the city wall will have grass growing on their graves."

If he retreats now, the soldiers will follow suit and retreat into the house.Once the courage is gone, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will immediately become as fragile as a soaked biscuit.

If I didn't send those 5000 people, the situation wouldn't be so bad, he thought, forget it, now is not the time to blame myself, I should focus on city defense.

Duke Lei Kui tightly held the family-heirloom sword in his hand, hoping that the ancestor known as the "Sword Master" could give him some strength.However,

When he saw the enemy army rushing towards the city gate like a tide, he couldn't help but say in his heart: But even if we keep defending, what's the point?

It is only a matter of time before the fortress is breached.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from behind him, and he heard the man shouting: "General, the enemy army in the east was repulsed just now. I will bring people to support your side."

Duke Lei Que looked at that guy—Lieutenant General Ogamat, he was a young officer, 26 years old, but he looked very anxious, he looked like forty or fifty, walking with Lei Que was like a cousin.This man is always optimistic, with a smile on his mouth, but how can he still smile at this time?

Seeing the duke's frowning expression, Ogamat immediately said, "Don't worry, my lord, the Mountain Knights have already broken out to ask for help. Maybe the reinforcements will arrive in two days?"

Hearing this, Duke Leigui's eyes widened immediately. He grabbed Augamat's arm and came inside the tower, growling, "Idiot! Didn't I tell you not to do this?"

Ogamat said aggrievedly: "But the Mountain Knights insist on going! I can't stop it. Besides, if we don't ask for help, aren't we waiting for death? Your wives are also there Please."

Lei Kui slapped him angrily, and said, "Damn it, you are my soldier, so you should obey my orders!"

Ogamat couldn't laugh this time, and said with a gloomy face: "But we are all dying, General! You must give everyone something to look forward to, right? No hope is waiting to die. The most painful thing in the world is to wait for death." died!"

"You really don't understand anything!" Lei Kui sighed angrily, and said, "Do you know that Leoric and Xi Ya are attacking Wangbei City now? The talented general 'Harlan's eldest son' Nags is in command. Even Leoric who defeated the Raven King cannot be defeated in a short while, even if he goes all out to attack the city, it may take a month or two. At this time, if you ask him to send someone to rescue us, what about Wang Beicheng?"

"We can die in battle, but Wangbei City can't be lost, the king is still there! If Leoric changes his mind and gives up Wangbei City to support us in order to save me, I will be a sinner forever!"

Hearing this, the lieutenant general Ogamat panicked a little, and said, "Leoric...should know the priorities."

Duke Lei Que shook his head, didn't speak, and went back to the defensive line - he couldn't say this reason.

Yes, Leoric, as the leader of the Northern Expedition Army designated by Akkad, should be a person who knows the general situation, but Xi Ya is not necessarily the same!

Duke Lei Kui had previously received a letter from Shia's family. From the reading between the lines, he knew that his daughter fell in love with this young man at first sight, and the relationship between the two seemed to be pretty good.

He thought to himself: If that silly girl begged him to save me, it would be hard to guarantee that Leoric would stick to his principles.

I hope Leoric will not do stupid things. If the imperial city and the king are lost because of me, then I... I will die, and I will have no face to meet the former king!

……

In the sky, fire and meteors rained, arrows flew like a net, and the sound of military drums and shouts of killing was deafening.

The leader of the Jagbo family, General Misri, nicknamed "Walrus", didn't seem to care about the frontline.This fierce general with "the number one Hercules of the plateau people" is admiring his horse.
