Chapter 324 What Fitch doesn't know
The dizziness caused by space teleportation still did not fade, but Shani could still remember that she was thrown into the position of the moon on the day before the teleportation. Now she didn't need to look up, and the snake hair told her that the moon was almost not moving, which means that the teleportation did not take much time.
Fly out of the tent, stare with paralysis, and then thrown into the crack of the space. Although this time was short, Shani was sure that she had seen Bloomfield. There was only one Thunder Army near the front line, and his commander was only one. Although Feige and Shani were staying on the south side of the Tushan Mountain, the Thunder Army camp was on the northwest side, if there was any movement in the camp, they could not be hidden from them.
Hawkeye meditation combined with the Eye of Koktal is no less than a wolf's hearing, and his keen perception of spell energy fluctuations, if the Thunder Army is ready for war, it is impossible for them to hide the situation. If the Thunder Army has not prepared in advance, how could they leave the camp to launch an attack, and how could they be reconnaissed by the elves? In terms of time, the King's Army cannot know that they are going out before the Thunder Army has been going out...
Shani felt cold all over her body, and it was obvious that a conspiracy was surrounding the King's Army. "No, I must chase after me and remind the count!"
The Count had left the camp with his most trusted soldiers, and the remaining few lords left on the edge of the United Kingdom were the small lords on the edge of the United Kingdom. They could not count on them, not because of the relatively casual discipline, but because these lords could not fully trust. Shani looked around, and there were strange faces around her. Should she grab a war horse and chase after her?
"Oh, my brain is really not very useful! Sam, Merry, Piping! You three are better off not sleeping!"
Merry and Piping were recuperating, and Sam took care of them. The three of them had become very good friends day and night. When the camp outside began to prepare for war, the noise woke all three of them from their sleep. They had already begun to think that the camp had encountered a surprise attack, so they rushed out in shirts, carrying shields and long swords, making a big joke. Then the three of them discussed and thought that today's things were unusual, so they were better careful. So when Shani found these three people, they had already prepared the carriage.
"Madam Shanie, the war horses were taken away by the Earl. We only had two pack horses, so we could only use this four-wheeler." Merry held the fur hat in her hand and said nervously: "We just think that if we can help in this fight, we are definitely not going to run away..."
"Prepare to escape? I thought you just said that you were going to the front line to help transport the wounded, and bring some spoils back." Pi Ping's wide eyes were full of confusion.
"Shut up!" Shani jumped into the carriage and said to Sam: "The situation is very urgent. Use the fastest speed to catch up with the Count's team. I want to give them warning."
Sam nodded, and he grabbed the handrail and quickly climbed to the driver's position, picked up the reins skillfully, and then plucked the horse's heads. Piping and Meili looked at each other, quickly grabbed the weapons and armor piled on the ground and threw them into the car, then ran and chased after each other, pulling and pulling each other and finally fell into the truck. The four-wheeled carriage immediately began to accelerate, and the bumpy road made the entire carriage tremble continuously, Shanny's stomach began to feel uncomfortable again. She grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands, trying not to look at the shaking ground.
The dark clouds climbed up, the starlight was blocked and disappeared first, and the bright moon was not disturbed, leaving only the hazy shadows in the sky. Meili used her body to cover the wind, and Pi Ping finally lit the bull-eyed lantern. With the light of the lantern, Sam could barely see the road ahead. Although Shani was urging, Sam did not dare to drive blindly, and he had to track the traces of the Earl's army, so he could not raise his speed.
Bypassing a low hill and passing through a small bridge over the river, the traces of the army pointed to the woods on the east side. It was a sparse birch forest, and most of the firewood from the King's Army was obtained from this forest. Sam glanced at Shanny, and the expression on her face was still firm and persistent, so he could only drive the carriage into this forest.
It was quiet around, and there was no sound of insects and birds. There was only the whisper of the breeze blowing through the leaves and the crackling sound of the wheels rolling over the branches. The bumpy here was particularly bumpy, and the low shrubs, staggered dead branches and the stumps hidden under the leaves all caused obstacles to driving. Piping felt that he had never been shaken so much in his life, and his internal organs wanted to become a mass of material that was inseparable from each other. "Sam, can you drive well? Be careful not to..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound, and the car suddenly fell to the ground. The wheel on the left flew out like a wild dog that had broken away, hitting the tree and falling apart. The two horses were frightened and neighing, while rushing forward, dragging the broken car with only one wheel left, rubbing all the way, and spinning forward. Sam controlled the reins with force, but the two usually gentle horses completely ignored his instructions as if they were crazy. In desperation, he could only pull out a short knife and cut off the rope.
The horse ran away, and a few rabbit-like leaping and disappeared into the darkness. The car finally stopped, and then the few people recovered from the fright. With the light of the bull's eyes, the few people treated the skin trauma, and then picked up weapons and armor from the carriage.
"I hit the stump before, and just stuck the wheel, and then broke the shaft." Meili kicked Pi Ping's butt, and was so angry that she said: "It's all your random words. Now that I got off the car, my horse ran away! I have to deal with you well!"
"Let's clean up when you go back." Shani sighed. Because they had a hurry to come out, they only had a bullock lantern, so it was impossible to act separately. "We can only hope to find the Count as soon as possible. Take the things and find some ignited branches on the road to make torches, so that the Count can discover us as soon as possible."
They continued to move along the horse's hoof prints on the ground, and soon came to a bush, and the footprints disappeared in the bush. "What's going on? Why wasn't the bush kicked down by the horse?" Shani held a simple branch torch with one hand, pulled out a long sword with the other hand, and stabbed the bush in front of her. The sword blade stabbed in, as if it had pierced into the air. Shani didn't feel hurt at all. Obviously, these bushes were illusions.
"Madam, what happened?" Sam became very nervous. He raised his shield, approached Shani, and protected her behind him. Through Feich's relationship, he had listened in the Magic School and the Knights of Hell, and learned some magic knowledge, so he said: "I feel that there are some strange energy fluctuations here, and someone should be casting spells. But I don't have the ability of Master Feich and cannot judge the source and type of spells."
"I guess the Count fell into someone else's trap, so I must remind him quickly." Shani looked at the messy horse hoof prints on the ground carefully and said, "The illusion of the bush is fake, and the horse hoof prints are real. Only by following the trails can we find the Count. Come with me!"
Shani kept waving her sword and stepped into the bushes, as if she was really chasing thorns. Feiqi once told her that the most important thing about illusion is to block the truth, and secondly, to provide illusions to confuse. If you find out the illusion and think that everything in front of you is false, it is easier to fall into a trap. Shani waves the sword, but the effect of the blind man's pathfinding pole is actually no different. Since you can't tell whether the thing in front of you is true or false, then just pretend that your eyes cannot see anything, which is better.
The bushes were quickly passed by her, but a thick layer of mist continued to block the ground. She found herself on an open space, with gentle grass hills slightly higher on both sides, and a few small trees grew alone on the top of the hills. The moon cast a bright light from the gaps of the dark clouds. Shani squatted down and used her hand to push away the thick fog. There was no footprint on the wet grass, and the green grass leaves were smooth and intact, and no one had ever trampled here.
"Where is the count? Where has the count gone?" Shani was stunned. She was indeed following the direction of her footprints. At this moment, a warm wind of hot flashes came, blowing through the snake's hair, mixed with a stinky smell. Shani looked in the direction of the wind, and saw some tiny highlights appear in the thick night. She squinted her eyes hard, and the snake's hair was also concentrated, poking her head out from under the veil, and helping to check it together.
"What is that?" Others also noticed something was wrong. Some leaping and running outlines appeared in the darkness. About a few seconds later, they saw a cavalry unit moving rapidly, and the holy emblem of the Goddess of Thunder Truth reflected slightly on the knight's chest. The "Thunder Army" was silent and moved quickly. Their mounts and knights were shrouded in a layer of starry gauze, which looked like the effect of a magical technique, but no one could tell what it was. They quickly approached Shani as if they had just flew out of a dream.
"The situation is not right!" Shani's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, and her snake hair can distinguish different colors formed by temperature like cold-blooded animals. Her naked eyes saw a group of knights, but what she saw was four long-necked snake lizards with only seven heads! At the same time, in the opposite direction of the group of snake lizards, a "fire" roar came from the wind. Only the sound of arrows was heard like rain, and black shadows flew over the top of their heads and flew straight towards the snake lizards.
"Ignite, two rounds of shooting!"
The familiar voice should be the Earl. Shani only saw a thick fog, but she could not see the Earl's position. She was sure that she was trapped in a large illusion and her vision was severely blocked. She suddenly remembered Feiqi's words, so she threw the torch in her hand towards the place where the arrow rain was fired with the greatest strength, and then watched intently.
The flames spiraled and hit the low hill, so the hills disappeared. Shani found that she was only twenty meters away from the Count's army, but the terrain formed by illusions was blocked by the sight. Earl Hall was commanding the knights to carry out the second round of shooting. He held up the holy emblem, and the thunder falling from the sky ignited the prepared brazier. The soldiers lit arrows from the brazier and then fired them in order to illuminate the entire battlefield.
"Earl! This is a trap! Go quickly! Go quickly!"
Shani's loud cry was suppressed by the noise of the bowstring, but she used a torch to break some of the illusions and allowed the count to see them. No one present was more surprised than Count Hall. At the moment of seeing Shani, a suffocating sense of fear suddenly surrounded him.
The arrows of fire crossed a brilliant trajectory in the air, like meteors, and the illusion on the opposite side disappeared. When the snake lizard appeared on the battlefield, no one was not afraid of it. They were four red flame snake lizards, like the long-extinct plesaurus, but the snake lizards had a wider body and more heads, and these heads could spew flames. They lined up in a row and charged with thunder. The burning rockets fell on them and were bounced away, and only a few shot through the hard skin, but these monsters were not afraid of fire at all.
"The Goddess of Truth is with us! For all humans, destroy these monsters!" Earl Hall held up the holy emblem, and the slightly blue bright light shone on every warrior. "Cut off the heads of these snake lizards, no matter how fast it regenerates, they will die in vain! We must fight bravely, and timid retreat will only lead to failure and meaningless death!"
The best way to deal with the Flame Snake Lizard is cold, which can completely suppress its regeneration and make its movements rigid and lose its threat. Without the power of ice, acid is also a good method. The acid corrosion of the wound can prevent it from growing a new head. However, Fitch, who is proficient in using various elemental magic such as ice and acid, is not here. Earl Hall can only settle for the second best and solve everything with brute force and sharp weapons.
The effect of bows and arrows was too small, so the knights put away their longbows and prepared to fight against the enemy with swords and shields. Earl Hall raised his sword to boost morale, and at the same time signaled to Shani and the others with his other hand, quickly circled one side of the team and hid behind. But before he could complete this gesture, two small red dots suddenly appeared in the air.
What is that? Many people looked up. The red dot suddenly became bigger and brighter, and the temperature became hotter and hotter. In just a few seconds, it became two huge fireballs. "Goddess! Protect us from being hurt by the flames!" The Count shouted and used his magical technique. In the next moment, everyone finally saw what was behind the fireball.
They were two red dragons, hidden in the shadow behind the bright flames, with only two vicious eyes reflecting hideous light. Just as the knights put away their bows and arrows, the two dragons unscrupulously attacked the King's Army with the help of night and illusion protection.
The waves formed by the flames hit the reefs formed by the knights. The reefs exploded in screams, and the people and horses were thrown helplessly into the air, and after landing, they turned into silent fuel. Earl of Hall's spells could not protect the entire legion. These dragons used a charge to disrupt the battle formation on which the knights depended for survival. Panic and chaos continued to spread, and only the Templars and soldiers near the Royal Earl of Kante Hall still retained their complete combat capabilities.
The snake lizard rushed over, and Shani was halfway through their charge. She said calmly: "Fight, there are no cowards in the Hall family. You can be behind me, but don't look at my face anyway."
The veil fell in the hot night wind, and the snake hair launched an attack on the snake lizard. Sam, Piping and Meili heard a terrifying hissing sound, as if the sharpest screams in the whole world were happening in front of them. Warm blood flowed out of the ear holes, and the world became much quieter. Not far away, a flaming snake lizard was like drunken, losing balance, swaying, and falling to the ground. The other snake lizard, four of its seven heads, drooping down instantly, like a seedling that had been drained from moisture. However, its other three heads swung violently and spewed flames at Shani.
"Protect me!" Shani raised her left hand, and the earth element commanded the ring to shine. An earth wall rose from the ground, blocking the flames like a giant shield. The snake lizard suddenly bumped into it, and its huge body turned the earth wall into pieces, but after the smoke and dust it did not see Shani and others.
