Broad World - Chapter 311
Chapter 309 D’Annisborg 1
After four days and four nights of continuous driving, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of Fort d’Ani in the evening. Looking at the magnificent castle not far away, Henry sighed slightly. Even if you do not use magic detection, you can see that this place has been breached by monsters. The suspension bridge was pulled up high, and a few trolls and snake men could occasionally be seen walking around on the city walls and other places.
“Oh my God! How could this happen! The corpses hanging in front of the castle are all family soldiers. It seems that the periphery of the castle has been lost.” Naria looked at the corpse erected by the spear in horror. . Their expressions were very painful, and it seemed that they must have been cruelly tortured before they died. And many of the corpses were missing, so there must be no question that they had been eaten by the trolls.
Shandi glanced at the snake-man who was looking over the city gate, and came to Henry with a sneer. “Master, do you need me to smash through the door with a spell and attack directly from the front. These monsters can be killed with just a few magics. It’s not scary at all.”
Henry thought for a few minutes, then shook his head. “Forget it, let’s choose to sneak in. Try not to use level 5 or higher magic, and leave all of them to prepare to deal with the “Flying Flame” of Balagas. I have a hunch, as long as it kills its men, this ancient red dragon will definitely Will show up.”
“If you sneak in, I can provide an entrance. There is a secret tunnel on the wall on the north side of the castle. It is very secretive. I believe the monsters will not find it.” Naria said tremblingly. She was both terrified and worried about the brutal behavior of the trolls, for fear that her father would be unpredictable.
Henry nodded, followed by blessing himself with a “iron skin technique”. “Lead the way, we must move faster, otherwise there will be no living people left in the castle. Trolls are very advantageous in hand-to-hand combat, and ordinary human armies can’t stop them.”
“This is exactly what I worry about. I hope my father and aunt are okay, otherwise I don’t even know what to do.” Naria said with a sad look.
A group of people walked around the main entrance of the castle, relying on the cover of the bush to go to the side. After not getting far, they suddenly found a military camp temporarily built with wooden fences. Two human soldiers at the door were watching the surrounding movement nervously. Judging from the blood stains on the armor, these people have all experienced a **** battle.
Seeing these people, Naria said ecstatically to several others: “They are all family soldiers, we should go over and see, maybe father and aunt have escaped.”
“I suggest you better stand up slowly and identify yourself, otherwise you are likely to suffer a wave of attacks. Those soldiers are already very nervous, and only a little external stimulation will be out of control.” Henry noticed the soldiers on patrol. The bow has been drawn and aimed here, maybe Ying will shoot an arrow in the next moment.
Naria raised her hands and walked out, shouting: “Don’t attack! I am Naria! These people are all helpers I have brought back from Ascatla.”
One of the soldiers put down his bow and arrow. Some rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “Miss?! My god, you finally came back. Captain Yarat has sent people to search the surrounding woods for several days. You must know that you are the only legal heir to Sir Deannis.”
“The only one?!! Where’s my father and aunt? Didn’t they escape together?” Naria asked eagerly.
The soldier shook his head with a look of decline. “After the castle gate was breached, we resisted room by room, but in the end we were no match for those terrifying monsters. Sir Anis disappeared during the war, and your aunt should have been trapped in some place on the second floor. The room. The entire army of four hundred men is now less than thirty. The others are all dead.”
Henry could feel the intensity of the battle from the trembling tone of the opponent. I have to say that ordinary troops can resist to this level and have not escaped. It can be called a miracle. From these remaining soldiers until now, it can be seen that Sir De Annis’s ruling skills are quite superb, at least in the eyes of most of his men, it is worth his life.
The group followed two soldiers with low morale to the makeshift camp and met the captain of the guard Yarat. This brawny man, who was close to 1.9 meters tall, was seriously injured. If he were replaced by someone with an unstable will, he would have died long ago. Henry used three consecutive “treatments of serious injuries” before he was pulled back from the death line.
The treatment is over. Yarat got up from the wooden bed and bowed deeply. “Thank you very much for extending a helping hand to the Deanis family in this time of crisis. I suggest that when you enter from the side, it is best to lower the suspension bridge so that we can attack from the front. Although the soldiers are left. Not much, but it can still attract the attention of some enemies.”
“Although your loyalty is touching, I think it is better for these ordinary soldiers to evacuate as soon as possible. You may not know that this time involves a set of ancient red dragons that have been raging in Amn for many years, Barajas” Feiyan”. In front of its power, no matter how many ordinary soldiers are used, you can kill hundreds of thousands with just one breath of the dragon. So your task is to take these remaining soldiers and leave quickly, otherwise you may be None of them can leave.”
Henry’s words made Yarath as if he had been stunned, and he couldn’t say a word of shock. He glanced at his eldest lady with questioning eyes, and Naria nodded bitterly. “He’s right. Whether it’s from the location where the monsters appear, or the style of killing all enemies from the enemy, it has nothing to do with this red dragon.”
“If this is the case, then I can’t let you go in and take the risk. As the only surviving heir of the Deanis family, if there is an accident, I am afraid that both the castle and the surrounding land will fall into the hands of the Ronore family. Here. You should know the virtues of their father and son best, so please put the overall situation first.” Said Yalat grabbed Naria’s wrist and refused to let her leave.
“Let go! My father and aunt are still inside, they are waiting for me to rescue.” Naria tried to break free. However, it is a pity that with the power of her thief and mage, she is not an opponent of a senior fighter at all.
Seeing that the two were in a dispute, Henry stepped forward and used a “flash technique.” Suddenly a strong light flashed, and everyone subconsciously blocked their eyes with their hands. The dazzling light quickly disappeared, and when they came back to their senses, Naria and Yarat had already separated.
Henry took the first two steps and said to them: “You two, please listen to me. Captain Yalat is not mistaken for his dedication, but it is understandable that Naria is eager to save his father. How about this? The identity of the ninth-level mage is guaranteed here. Once Naria’s life is threatened, she will immediately use magic to teleport it out. What do you think?”
“Nineteenth-level mage?!!!” Yalat showed an incredible expression on his face. In his impression, all high-level mages had gray hair and beards, like Henry’s appearance in his early twenties, and at most he would not exceed the eighth level. You must know that Naria has been learning magic for so many years, and she is only a first-level mage.
Henry smiled slightly and made no secret of letting out the huge energy in his body. The monstrous magical fluctuations set off a storm, and even the surrounding magic net began to twist. With his current strength being comparable to that of the legendary mage, he was close to connecting directly with the original magical energy.
Seeing the powerful power that changed the color of the world, Yalat only felt that he was like an ant, and he could be crushed to death by accident at any time. After ten seconds, the magic storm began to subside, and he bowed his head and knelt on the ground in awe. “You are the most powerful spellcaster I have ever seen in my life, please protect Miss Naria.”
“Don’t worry, she won’t have any accidents. Okay, we’re going to clean up the monsters in the castle. You’d better take the soldiers and leave as soon as possible. I can’t guarantee when the “Flying Flames” of Balagas will appear. “After that, Henry waved to the others and led his teammates towards the secret road. Anyway, he said everything that should be said, if these people still stay here and wait for death, then they have to let them go.
The group came out of the temporary barracks and headed north. It didn’t take long for them to find a secret passage covered by slabs under Naria’s leadership. The entrance of the cave is very short, probably less than one meter high, so everyone can only get down and crawl in little by little. Judging from the internal structure of the cave, it was probably designed as a sewer at the beginning, but it was abandoned for some reason.
Imoen whispered while driving away the surrounding mice with his weapon: “Gods are here! There are too many mice here Seeing their bright eyes, I am not afraid at all. Humanity.”
“Don’t be afraid, they are just a little bit more curious and won’t bite casually.” Naria took out a small piece of leftover bread from her pocket and threw it to the open space in front. After only hearing a squeak, a group of rats rushed out of the darkness and ate the food clean, leaving no residue.
Seeing this scene, Hina widened her eyes and muttered to herself: “I finally know why there are so many mice here. It turns out that someone has been feeding them.”
“Hey, you guessed it. I’ve been feeding these mice since I was twelve years old. As long as there are enough of them, I can scare people away from here.” Naria said with a smile. It can be seen from the face that she is very proud of herself for doing this kind of thing.
The secret path is not too long, and everyone climbed for less than ten minutes and came to the exit. This looks like a storage room in the castle, filled with big wooden barrels everywhere. Henry noticed that the barrel was full of dates. If he guessed correctly, there should be some wine in it. It is basically certain now that this is a wine cellar. (To be continued.
