Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

"Yeah, right?"

Dare to explode the material?Today's plot is too monster hunter, right?Uh, Dual Swordsman vs. Mud Ichthyosaur?

Serawi took a look at the big fish and said: "If all the scales are peeled off, it will be enough to make three beautiful scales, and I can carve runes on the scales to become an enhanced version. 'Serrawi Armor'."

"Isn't that power armor? Damn!" Leoric's blood pressure rose with excitement, and he said, "Seravi, can you do it?"

Serawi shook his head and said: "I'm sorry. Master, I can only make runes, but I don't have the skill of blacksmithing. Of course, I need to find the best blacksmith for such a good material. Captain Shi En... Not necessarily, you can ask .”

Armor is a life-saving weapon, but to be honest, life-saving things conflict with Leoric's innate skills.If Serawi can really get out the armor, it is better to wear it for the harem first, so as to increase the combat effectiveness of the team.

Leoric said to the murloc: "Well, you go back and transport the body of the big fish to your tribe and protect it well. This thing is my trophy, and no one is allowed to touch it. If I come back and see something missing Thing, huh! Don’t say let me be your king, you will look good at that time.”

Hearing this, the "mermaid" nodded immediately, expressing that he would definitely do it.

Afterwards, Leoric and his party quickly crossed the river and continued to march towards the territory of the Lei Kui family in the south.After arriving in this area, Shia became more familiar with it. She said that she followed her father to hunt here before, and also climbed to the altar on the top of the mountain to worship the mountain god.The territory of the Leikui family is mostly mountains and swamps. The people of this generation also devoutly worship the "mountain god Alberjon" among the seven gods. The mountains are not like the plains, but they are full of dangers and opportunities. , there are herbs and gold mines, people living here need more sustenance than the outside world.

Shia explained the customs of this generation while walking. On the one hand, it relieved the tension, and on the other hand, it refreshed everyone. It was afternoon, and when the warm sun shone, many people wanted to sleep on the horse. caught.

After a while, a group of people came to the canyon mentioned earlier.Standing on the edge of the canyon and looking down, Leoric couldn't help chanting a poem about the difficulty of the road to Shu—the information is right, this place is too difficult to walk.

The canyon is steep and precipitous, separated by more than [-] meters, and between the two banks is a white mist, bottomless.I heard Shia say that this place is called "Valley of Wailing" because at night, there will be strange and eerie wind echoing like crying, and if you want to cross it, you need to grow wings.Otherwise, you have to take the mountain path on the edge of the canyon.Leoric slowly came to the side of the cliff to look at the "path" and it turned out that it was a Z-shaped path carved along the cliff, so narrow that it could barely allow one person to pass through, and people with slightly larger feet could not even stand on two feet On the top, you can only move slowly with one foot forward and one foot behind.Moreover, this road has been in disrepair for a long time, and many places have been eroded by water vapor, and the corners have been worn into rounded corners.

The elves do have the ability to fly over eaves and walls, but these horses cannot walk such a steep mountain road.What's more, walking this kind of path, it will take a long time to go down, and then it will take a long time to climb up. There is no time at all.This road is really difficult to walk, even the locals would not take this road on weekdays.

This is also the reason why Haider opposed Leoric to take this path before.

However, Leoric came prepared.

"Come on, unload!" he ordered.

When the few knights behind set off from Wangbei City, they carried some sackcloth bags.At this time, everyone unloaded the pockets and opened them to see that there were loops of ropes inside.Leoric said, "We build bridges across the valley."

Haider asked: "How do you put the rope on the other side? Is it flying over?"

Leoric nodded and said, "Yes, just fly over."

"Pushilla, it's your turn."

"Come on!" The succubus spread its wings.

Seeing Pushila's wings, everyone remembered that there is a flying unit in the army.Of course, Pushila alone cannot pull this heavy rope.At this moment Romila planted her staff in the ground and began to chant the incantation.With her singing voice, colorful smoke rose from the land.The smoke covered Romila's body, and after a while, the smoke disappeared, and Romila also turned into countless butterflies.

Pushira took the rope and flew up, supported by the butterflies from behind, so they crossed the valley and nailed the rope on the opposite side.Just a few back and forth in this way, the skeleton of a rope bridge is ready.Then people laid planks on top, and the army crossed the bridge smoothly.

This is really a brilliant idea, and it solved the problem of the valley at once.However, for Leoric's strange operation, no matter whether it is the elves or the knight of Lei Kui's family, everyone is not surprised - after all, he is the wise and brave Leoric. Seeding ideas is also normal.

A few hours later, the army left the mountain and came to the "Iron Hoof Plain" north of the Shanshen Fortress.

When the horse's hooves set foot on the flat ground, everyone's heart that has been hanging has been relieved.The field of vision is wide, the sky is high and the earth is far away. It is a great plain that is rarely seen in the swamp.Next, you only need to gallop on the horse, and you will be able to arrive at the "Mountain God Fortress" of Duke Leikui tonight!

Everyone continued to move forward, and in order to save some energy for the horse, everyone stepped down temporarily to walk.Leoric walked forward side by side with Shia. Seeing Shia's worried expression, he comforted her and said, "It's okay, we have time to save your father, as long as I get to the mountain god fortress, those guys will all die."

Shia shook her head and said, "It's not because of this. To be honest, I don't worry about that old man in my family. He has been fighting all his life. How could he lose to those mercenaries in Jia Gebo's family? Take ten thousand steps back, even if he can't fight Even if he wins, he will not lose the battle easily. My father is known as the "King of the Mountain", Tomman Rekui, a man like a mountain, before I met you, he was the toughest guy in my heart, I believe him."

Leoric said, "Then why do you look sad?"

Shia smiled wryly, and said, "Leo, I never thought it would be this way to bring you home for the first time."

Leoric smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Shia sighed and said, "I originally thought that after the war, I would bring you home in triumph, and then the Lei Kui family and the people in the city would come to welcome you, and the road would be covered with flowers , the military band welcomes you, and my father will first welcome you into the castle with noble etiquette. After dinner, you can exchange gifts, and then you can say to my father dignifiedly: "My lord, please send your Promise me, daughter.' Then my father will reprimand you pretending to be angry in accordance with the local customs, and then you will drink with him, and after a glass of wine, you will hug each other warmly. I pass my hand to yours, we will hold a wedding in seven days, and then people from all over the city will come to bless us..."

Seeing how she described it in such detail, she must have envisioned this scene countless times.

Leoric said to her: "It's not bad, we will appear in the mountain god's fortress like a hero, and people will cheer for us."

Shia said with a painful face: "No, this is different. I have been learning to fight since I was a child, and I have been fighting since then. Although I don't hate military life, I don't want to wear stinky feet when I get married." Riding boots, hair greasy and knotted, smelly of sweat, and a sword next to the pillow in the new house, I only get married once in my life, and I hope to marry you in a beautiful way. Leoric! You always say I'm beautiful Don't lose to any girl, even Teves. If that's the case, then I will prove that what you said is correct." She quietly hooked Leoric's little finger, and she said in a very low voice, "I... am not afraid You are joking, I want to show you my most beautiful appearance, and, although the girls around you are all pretty, I think if I dress up well... I will not lose to them." The more she said, the lower her voice.Leoric looked at her side face, it was redder than the burning clouds in the sky.

Suddenly, Shia's expression changed, her brows and eyes were full of murderous intent, Leoric had never seen Shia's expression like this, it seemed that she was really angry.

"But everything was ruined by that guy, I hate him!"

"Mythri the walrus! I'll cut off his head with my own hands!"

"I swear, I will."

Shia held the sword hilt at her waist, which was the holy relic called "Silver Snake".This weapon was seized from the snake man at the beginning, and it was supposed to be given to Pushila, but Pushila himself had a handy weapon, so he gave it to Xiya.Later, Leoric would often see Shia practicing using the weapon on the playground.

Excluding Leoric, Shia was the number one swordsman in the Northern Expedition.Moreover, Leoric has already imparted all his sword skills to others, and now he is not necessarily stronger than Shia when it comes to sword skills alone.With the foundation of swordsmanship and the blessing of the holy relic, Shia's combat power has risen by more than one step than when the two first met.

The only fly in the ointment is that her ability has not been used in actual combat, and the sword in this hand has not been stained with blood.

Perhaps, today she can make up for this regret.

……

Around midnight, Leoric and his party arrived at the northern part of the "Mountain God Fortress".At this time, there was still some distance from the city, so Leoric ordered everyone to extinguish the torches, and walked quietly in search of a path.The elves all have night vision, and they can see clearly when walking at night; Shia and Dreyer are familiar with the roads in this area, and they are leading the way for everyone.Soon, they came to a small hillside with a wide view and a remote location. Leoric climbed up the hillside and looked around, and saw the "City of Mithras" burning everywhere in the distance.

Shia took out the binoculars, shook her head, and said, "It's too dark to see."

Leoric relied on the passive skill "Pecking Eyes" to observe with the naked eye, but he could get a rough idea.Today, the "Dark Blue Sea Beast Banner" of the walrus Misri is erected on all four walls of the city. Mysri's army has already occupied the entire city, most of which are stationed in the city, and a small part is outside.

The castle in the center of the city is the "Mountain God Fortress" mentioned earlier, and the "Alpine Banner" of the Leikui family is still flying in the wind, standing still.The north city wall is still intact, but the west city wall has been damaged a bit. From this angle, the south side cannot be seen, but it is estimated that the situation there is more serious, after all, it is the main target of the enemy's attack.

"The fort is still there, the Duke should be fine." Leoric said.

Shia and Haider breathed a sigh of relief, and the knight quickly said: "General Leoric, then we..." He pondered for a while, and said: "General, what do you think should be done next?"

After seeing Leoric's abilities, Haider no longer had the arrogance and doubts he had before, and now he respected him very much, and his way of speaking also changed accordingly.

Leoric thought for a while, and said: "I think the enemy is resting, and they probably don't intend to launch an attack tonight, but it's hard to say tomorrow morning. In this way, I will go to the city to meet the Duke first, and then we will go to the city again." Discuss countermeasures."

Haider blinked, "See the Duke? General Leoric, the four walls are surrounded by enemies, how do you go to see him? Or...fly in?" He patted his arm, as if he had a on the wings.

"Well, almost." Leoric said with a smile.

……

In the evening, Duke Leikui, who was already very tired, did not feel sleepy at all.

The enemy will launch a general attack tomorrow, he knows he should sleep now, but he can't sleep at all.People called him the Duke of the Mountain, and said he was a tough guy who was as indestructible as a mountain.But only Duke Leigui knows that the mountains are not indestructible. He has seen landslides, mudslides and floods, and even seen the terrible wounds left on the mountains by a major earthquake.Nothing in this world is indestructible, and neither is his will.

This period of high-intensity combat has been torturing his will and his body.Although he was not subdued mentally, his old body couldn't help tossing.

old!

He couldn't sleep even when he was lying down, so he might as well go down to inspect the city wall.

The Mountain God Fortress was not big, and the city wall was only a hundred steps away from him, so he arrived soon.As soon as he reached the wall, he saw the deputy general Augamat also patrolling the wall.The two looked at each other and smiled, and Augamart said, "My lord, you can't sleep either?"

Duke Leigui smiled wryly, and said, "Ah, I thought you, an optimist, would fall into a deep sleep now."

The smile on Ogamat's face was the same as before, and he said, "Slumbering? No, no, no, how can I sleep at this time, maybe the reinforcements will arrive soon, and I will pick them up here."

The Duke laughed dumbfounded, and said, "You're too fucking optimistic! You're still looking forward to reinforcements at this time? Aren't you lying to yourself? Even if Leoric comes, it will take ten days and a half months to arrive. "Besides, he might not have come at all.

Ogamat shook his head and said, "General, I learned astrology from an astrologer before I became a soldier. I didn't learn much, and only one thing in divination is whether I will die tomorrow."

"Oh?"

"I do divination every night. So far, my death omen has never appeared! And my divination is very effective. You see, I am alive and well! This is the proof."

The Duke laughed and said, "I see! That's why you know you won't die, so you're so optimistic, right?"

"Yes, my lord! Since I can see the sun tomorrow, why should I worry tonight?" He laughed, "Look at this battle, the enemy will launch a general attack tomorrow, but I won't fight tomorrow." will die, then it can be inferred that reinforcements are coming, do you think this logic is very careful?"

That's okay, Duke Lei Kui smiled noncommittally, thinking: If the soldiers can deceive themselves like him, then everyone will not be afraid of death, and we will definitely become an invincible army.Duke Lei Kui knew that this guy had never studied astrology at all. He was a hooligan in the South Reef Military Region. When he was a teenager, he mixed with veterans and scoundrels, and later joined the border guards of the Lei Kui family. Duke Lei Kui is very clear about his background, where did he learn astrology?It's nothing more than lying to myself.

The Duke of Lei Kui knows a truth: people need faith to overcome fear, even if they know that the faith is false, they will follow it without hesitation.If it weren't for this, when the plateau people moved south, they wouldn't have created the hypocritical Seven Gods.

Looking at the statue of "Mountain God" on the square outside the city, the Duke sneered and thought: But I am not such a weak person, I don't need false gods to give me courage.Ever since the ancestor of my family killed the ancestor god, the Leikui family swore not to trust any gods, nor to trust any outsiders.

I only trust the sword in my own hand!

Tomorrow's decisive battle is approaching, and Lei Kui will open the gate of the fortress at that time, and lead the cavalry to fight the enemy to the death.If he can't win, at least he will die a glorious battle in this fortress.

"Smells so good, what's the smell?" Ogamat asked.

Duke Requi felt it too, and there was a sweet smell of pollen in the air.It was not the flowering season at this time, and there were no such fragrant flowers in the Mountain God Fortress. The Duke couldn't help sniffling, looking for the source of the smell.

At this time, a little pink thing flapped its wings and flew in front of him.

"Huh? Where did the butterfly come from?" Duke Lei Kui murmured.

Just when he was wondering, the butterfly actually landed on the tip of his nose.

ps: ready to play!Group 18②7

Chapter 110: How much courage do you have left?

Duke Requi stretched out his hand to drive away the butterfly. At this moment, countless butterflies flew from all directions, like a cloud of colored smoke.

"What's the matter?" exclaimed the Duke.

Such a spectacle attracted people around to look at it. Duke Lei Kui and Ogamat were also very surprised. They had never seen such a spectacle in a lifetime of fighting.

At this moment, the butterflies gathered together and gradually turned into a human shape.Suddenly, a white light flashed!The butterfly disappeared, and an elf woman with blond hair and long ears appeared in front of them. Everyone was shocked, and they quickly drew their swords and asked, "Who are you!?"

The woman saluted gracefully and said, "I am Romila, the leader of the elf rangers under Leoric's command, and queen of the half-blood elves." A gesture of please.

Where Romila pointed, a cloud of white smoke appeared. The white smoke slowly gathered and turned into a human form under the surprised eyes of everyone—it was Leoric, he was wearing silver armor, and his hair was tied into a ponytail. , there was still a trace of bloody smell on the travel-stained body, and a calm smile filled his black and white eyes.

"Could you be..." Duke Lei Kui frowned with disbelief, "Leoric?"

"It's down."

Leoric looked at the person in front of him, um, he was a tall man with broad shoulders, thick thighs, and a gray beard the color of granite on his face, a man as tough as a mountain.

This should be his father-in-law, Duke Requi.

Leoric saluted and said, "Leo Rick, the commander of the Northern Expedition, on behalf of the entire Northern Expedition, pays tribute to Duke Lei Kui."

He had thought about this wording. He is also an honorary duke now, and he is also the commander of the Northern Expedition Army. He communicated with the other party on an equal footing.Be polite, but not too humble.After finishing speaking, Leoric handed the token prepared by Shia to the Duke. The Duke glanced at it and nodded, then received it in his arms.

At this moment, Duke Lei Kui looked the young man up and down.

Leoric, in the past few months, he has heard this name countless times, and his ears are almost callused.Even if it is not flattering to say, this name can be regarded as thunderous.However, Duke Lei Kui never believed in rumors. Most of the rumors in the market were not credible. Gossip women and bards used their saliva to process the stewed soup countless times, and they couldn't taste the original taste at all.He only believed his own eyes.

At this moment, he finally saw this man with his own eyes, so he couldn't help observing him with the experience he had accumulated over the years.

Duke Lei Kui thought to himself: Judging from Leoric's appearance alone, he is indeed an outstanding talent.And judging from the way he appeared on the stage, this guy has a unique skill.Words and deeds are considered decent, neither humble nor overbearing.Judging from these places alone, Leoric is indeed similar to the legend, but... why does he have a bloody smell?

The bloody smell that the duke refers to here not only has the "smelly smell" in the actual sense, but also contains a more abstract concept. In other words, it is murderous.Duke Leigui has seen many people who came back from the battlefield. The more people killed, the stronger the smell of blood would be.This smell can be smelled with the nose, seen with the eyes, and even felt with the pores of the whole body.The smell of blood on Leoric's body was far stronger than any "butcher" the Duke had seen before.

This young man must have a lot of blood and debts in his hand, he thought, Leoric seems to be only 20 years old, right? At the age of 20, have you reached this level?Incredible.

Leoric is the most famous and mysterious person among the plateau people.Everyone who heard his story wanted to see him, and Tommen Reque was no exception.Now that he saw his lineup, Duke Lei Kui's curiosity about him did not decrease, but increased a lot.The same is true for the lieutenant next to him, Ogamat. Compared with the duke, he is more out of character and familiar with himself, so he went up and asked, "Leoric, how did you get in here? Do you know magic?"

It really is magic.Leoric first turned Romila into a butterfly, and then he used "secret magic" to transform into an aerosol form, then attached to the butterfly, and entered the city like this.At the same time, Motready, Puscilla, and San'er also came in with him. These three stayed in Leoric's "Devil's Contract Space" for the time being, and they were always on call.

But these things are too troublesome to explain, and they are short on time, so Leoric said: "It's nothing but trivial skills." He pondered for a while, and changed the subject: "Well, the military situation is urgent, why don't we talk about the business first?"

"Yes, please!"

The four of them quickly returned to the "small council hall" inside the fortress. There was not much space here. There was a round table in the center surrounded by thick soundproof walls, and the door was also a solid big iron gate.When the four of them came to the small council hall, the Duke immediately locked the door and reconfirmed, "Are you really Leoric?"

Leoric said: "The current head coach of the Northern Expedition, the honorary Duke of Wild Wolf City, Leoric, will be replaced as a fake!"

The Duke was full of anxiety at this time, and asked very nervously: "Shouldn't you be looking at the North City? Why did you come here? Don't you know that the battle in the palace is far more important than here?"

Leoric was taken aback for a moment, thinking that it has been so long since what happened in Beicheng, sir, is your village still connected to the Internet?But after thinking about it, the information in this era is blocked, not to mention that the information of three to five days cannot pass through, maybe it has been decades, and the news cannot pass through.There are always such examples in feudal society. The previous dynasty died for decades, and those people in the deep mountains and old forests still don't know that the dynasty outside has changed.

Leoric said with a smile: "The battle in Wangbei City has been over for a long time. We captured the palace and rescued the king. I also beheaded Nags, the eldest son of Harlan."

The Duke and the lieutenant looked at each other, and both of them had expressions of "you're fucking kidding me".

Duke Lei Kui didn't speak, but touched his chin, as if he was thinking about how to respond to Leoric's "joke"; while the young general spoke quickly and said directly: "I said General Leorick, even if I am like this I am an optimist, and I can't believe what you said, because it is not logical, er, of course, maybe the top priority is not to discuss the matter of Wangbei City, we can also agree with what you said for the time being... if it makes you happy. "

Leoric said, "Does the Duke think so?"

Duke Lei Kui looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for coming all the way to aid our army. I also respect you, Leoric. However, people in our family do things They are all rigid, in other words, we are all very rational people. As my vassal said, Leoric, no matter how you look at it, you cannot take Wangbei City in such a short time... "

Duke Lei Kui didn't believe him, this was an inference out of normal logic.Because Tommen Requee has fought in battle, he knows how difficult it is to capture North Lookout.The most powerful city in the plateau, the city walls are as solid as gold, and the imperial palace is even more impregnable. Even a mouse can't get in if the gate is closed.There are countless food and supplies in the city, and there are [-] defenders of Harun's eldest son.Not to mention that "the eldest son of Harlan" is one of the three generals of the plateau people, even if he was a dog, Leoric would not be able to conquer this city in one day.

Thinking of this, Duke Lei Kui had a second doubt——

Now there are two things that cannot be explained. First: How did Leoric break through the city in one day?

Second: Seven days ago, he was looking at Beicheng. How did he appear here at this moment?

Seeing the calm smile of the man in front of him, Duke Lei Kui's mind was in a mess, he couldn't figure it out, what's going on?

Yes, what's going on?The lieutenant next to him, Ogamat, also had the same puzzled expression.

Leoric smiled and said: "Well, you all believe in me first, and hope that the northern city is safe. Uh, Princess Teves is now sitting in the palace, and there is no war in the north now. As for the specific situation, wait until you see Shia, Let her explain to both of you—let's talk about the present."
