My Magic Age
Chapter 1170 274. Lake Beilan
Hawk's Beak Rock is located on the edge of the mountainous area in the south of Nato City. It is named because the shape of the mountain resembles the sharp beak of a hawk. After passing through Hawk's Beak Rock and crossing a mountain ridge, you can reach Lake Belan in Lavenham City.
Lake Belan is also known as the sapphire of Lavenham City. Lavenham City is built on the south bank of Lake Belan.
The abundant rainwater on the northern slope of the middle section of Ziqing Mountain converges into an inland river. This inland river named Lavenham has a turbulent flow in summer and dries up in winter. Lavenham City is also named because it is built on the bank of this river.
The Lavenham River passes through Ziqing Mountain City and Lavenham City, and is blocked by two mountain ridges in the south of Hawk's Beak Rock. The two mountain ridges meet in a "herringbone" shape, surrounding Lake Belan.
The two mountains did not completely separate Lake Bellan from Natto. Lake Bellan is located at a high altitude. There is a gap between the mountains, forming a waterfall with a drop of 100 meters. In winter, the waterfall freezes into ice, forming a huge ice curtain, which still retains the spectacular sight of the waterfall.
It is said that the two mountains to the north of Ravenham were formed by the arms of a god named Ravenham who held his head after his death during the War of the Gods in ancient times. The head of this god was cut off and taken away by the hostile gods. His head smashed a huge pit on the ground, forming Lake Bellan.
Legend has it that the bottom of Lake Bellan still retains the appearance of a human face. However, the two mountains are named "Left Arm Mountain" and "Right Arm Mountain" for this reason. Even in summer, it is not easy to cross these mountains.
The closest road from Natto to Ravenham is the valley road at the mouth of the Beran Falls. If you don't take this road and can't cross the Arm Mountain, you have to go around for hundreds of kilometers to reach Ravenham.
The Falcon Squad we met halfway told us that the barbarian brigade of 2,000 people was wandering at the foot of the Arm Mountain. After looting the Ten Towns in the suburbs of Natto, these barbarians let some of the barbarians take the slaves of the Ten Towns back to the ice and snow tundra, and the remaining more than 2,000 barbarian brigades were ready to cross Natto and head towards Ravenham in the south.
There are probably no more than ten barbarian brigades entering the Northern Province every year. These barbarians are scattered in the vast northern territory and have extremely powerful destructive power. Under normal circumstances, such a large barbarian army is usually followed by the Construct Knights of the North Wind Legion. The two sides launched a protracted war of attrition until the barbarians left the North.
According to the captain of the Falcon Squad, when the barbarian army began to enter the territory of Nato City, the number of barbarian warriors once exceeded 3,000. The combat effectiveness of such a barbarian brigade was equivalent to six fully staffed Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion.
Although these barbarians were not enough to capture Nato City, they looted outside Nato City. Without the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion to contain them, the Guard Battalion Knights in Nato City alone would have no effect. The knights in the Guard Battalion Knights might not even have the courage to fight the barbarians to death.
We chased the more than 40 barbarians all the way here and came to the southern mountainous area of Nato City. I guess these barbarian warriors wanted to join the barbarian army in order to completely get rid of the pursuit of our Falcon team, but their luck was really bad. After a long circle in the southern mountainous area, they could not find the barbarian army.
The captain of the Falcon Squad told me that this was the most cowardly group of barbarian warriors they had ever seen. More than 40 barbarians were chased by a Falcon Squad of less than 20 people and fled everywhere. No one would believe it if they told us.
When they learned that we were the Falcon Squad of El City, and saw that there were four magicians in our team, they said to us: I have heard that the Falcon Squad of El City is good at hunting barbarians with magic traps. It is said that this hunting method was thought up by a great magic apprentice in El City, and the falcons in El City have some secret channels to buy cheap magic scrolls. Is this true?
In El City, it is no secret that the Falcon Squad uses "magic traps" to hunt barbarian warriors. In the past two years, many Falcon Squads have been designing unique magic traps, so the traps set by this Falcon Squad are also varied. However, no matter how these magic traps change, they are ultimately inseparable from the ice magic scrolls.
I simply drew several of the most common magic trap hunting methods on the snow: there is a hunting method that uses frost scrolls to create ice and snow fog, there is also a hunting method that uses frost nova to freeze the barbarian warriors in place and then surround and kill them with spears, and there is also a method that requires building trap pits in advance, which are filled with barbed spears. In winter, these pits are covered with heavy snow, luring the barbarians into the pit area. As long as a barbarian's foot falls into it, it is difficult to pull it out intact.
Both falcon teams have their own gains, and then we tacitly ran in two completely different directions.
Noah couldn't understand why they were both imperial people, had the same purpose, and hunted barbarians in the north, but they had to be so cautious and vigilant against each other.
I sat on the sled pulled by the barbarian slaves and explained to Noah, "These falcon squads in the Northern Province were originally composed of strong men hiding in the streets of various cities. Most of these strong men were retired from the army, adventure groups, mercenary groups and other organizations. Every winter they would spontaneously organize falcon squads to fight against the barbarians coming from the ice and snow tundra."
"But in recent years, some demon hunter organizations, adventure groups, slave hunting groups, etc. will take the opportunity to seek benefits in the Northern Province. They usually disguise themselves as the Falcon Squad. Many demon hunter organizations target not only barbarian warriors, but sometimes hunt other falcon squads and seize the spoils of those falcon squads."
"Even more shameful are some slave hunting groups. When they hunt barbarians, they also accept the northerners captured by the barbarians and sell them as slaves to other regions."
"So unless the falcon squads are familiar with each other, if they meet in the wild, they will basically be on guard against each other. Some falcon squads even see each other from a distance and choose to avoid each other, so as to avoid contact between the two sides and ensure the safety of their own team."
Noah suddenly realized after hearing my explanation. I didn't expect that there were so many dark things hidden in the falcon squad.
Deborah has been monitoring this group of barbarians in the air, so the more than 40 barbarians tried to get rid of us several times, but failed.
During the pursuit, the barbarians could only catch whatever prey they saw along the way and share it with everyone. However, there were not many prey in the forest. More than 40 barbarians could eat a big wild boar in one meal. They never carried dry food with them, so they basically fled on an empty stomach for days, and their physical strength was slowly consumed.
In contrast, our team had sufficient logistics supplies. We had regular meals and rests every day. Anyway, we had Deborah, so we didn't worry about these barbarians escaping. On the contrary, we also eliminated two barbarian teams consisting of several people while chasing this barbarian team.
In fact, this team of barbarian warriors was also gambling. They wanted to join the barbarian team before their physical strength was exhausted.
However, this team of more than 40 barbarian warriors was eventually blocked by us in a valley with a cliff on one side and steep slopes and dense forests on the other two sides. Their tall bodies were not suitable for drilling through the overly dense pine forest. Although those pine branches could not hurt them, they hindered their progress.
When we trapped them in the valley, these barbarian warriors were so hungry that they could hardly walk.
These barbarian warriors gathered back to back to guard against our sudden attack on them. Seeing that they did not launch a desperate counterattack against us immediately, I was relieved that these barbarian warriors would be buried in this valley.
I slowly gathered ice walls and set up an ice wall formation at the exit of the valley, and then signaled Ying Li to take out our secret weapons.
Ying Li, Helena and Becky each had a magic waist bag tied around their waists. The magic waist bags they wore were the best magic waist bags that could be bought in the magic store in the imperial capital. They could hold a lot of things. This time, Ying Li dragged out a pile of scattered parts of the bed crossbow from the magic waist bag.
Ten orc construct warriors assembled the bed crossbow very skillfully in front of the ice wall formation. Looking at their skilled movements, you can tell that they have received special training.
If I hadn't blocked these barbarian warriors in the valley, I wouldn't have taken out such a stupid thing as the bed crossbow. Even though the bed crossbow has a strong killing power against the barbarian warriors, as long as the barbarian warriors retreat beyond the range of the bed crossbow, these bed crossbows will be helpless against the barbarian warriors.
"What else can these ten construct warriors do? How can they give people different surprises every time?" Noah looked at the ten orc warriors in front of him and said enviously.
I shrugged my shoulders, pointed at Kalancuo and said to Noah: "You can ask her about these."
Noah immediately shook his head, waved his hand at me and said: "Forget it!"
Two bed crossbows were assembled between the two ice walls, and then the barbarian warriors were ruthlessly shot. Three-meter-long crossbow arrows flew out from the bed crossbows, with a faint magical glow on the arrow tips. The arrow tips of these bed crossbow arrows were attached with two magical attributes of "sharp" and "penetrating". The strong bodies of the barbarians had no resistance to such giant crossbows.
Every time a crossbow arrow flew into the group of barbarian warriors, there would be some casualties.
The orc construct warriors only had time to shoot five rounds, and those barbarian warriors realized that they could only wait to die if they stood there. They would die anyway, so why not rush over together and have a hearty battle.
But it was too late for the barbarians to react at this time, because my ice wall formation had been erected. When they rushed into the ice wall formation, ten orc construct warriors quickly withdrew from the ice wall formation. After entering and exiting, I found an opportunity to use the "Ice Explosion Technique" to detonate the ice wall, and more than 30 barbarians were buried under the ice and snow.
Then, I began to try to subdue these barbarian warriors. They were exhausted by my torture in recent days, so I just asked a few barbarian warriors, and some barbarians chose to sign a slave contract.
Noah has been more and more curious about my ice wall formation and ice explosion recently. He can't understand why my ice magic is so powerful.
This kind of large-scale group magic requires at least a second-level advanced magician to perform, and I am only a junior magician, not even a first-level magician. There is no reason for me to use ice explosion to detonate so many ice walls and perform such powerful ice magic.
If every ice magician can do this, then the province of Sloyte only needs a team of ice magicians to wipe out the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra.
In fact, there are two main secrets for me to perform such a powerful ice wall formation:
A secret is in the open, but few people notice it. It is the ‘Frost Scrolls’ that can lower the temperature of the surrounding environment after detonation. Every time I cast the Ice Wall Array, I have to consume at least two ‘Frost Scrolls’ from the Magic Boxes, using a large number of magic scrolls to compensate for my lack of magic power.
Another one is related to my magic talent. My magic perception allows me to control ten ice walls at the same time in detail.
An ice magician of my level cannot control an ice wall while casting the Ice Explosion spell.
Twenty captured barbarian warriors signed slave contracts with me during this hunt and became barbarian slaves.
Standing in the col, you can see the Eagle Rock in the distance, but these barbarians do not have a map of the southern mountains of Natto City, and we blocked them in the col, leaving them with no way to go, and I sealed the exit with the Ice Wall Array.
Our team walked out of the col and went around the edge of the dense pine forest to the mountain in front. We found that we could always see some barbarian teams in the nearby mountains. Deborah even flew over the Eagle's Beak Rock and kept circling.
When we crossed the mountain in front of us and looked at the Eagle's Beak Rock through the dense pine forest, we found that a large group of barbarians were walking slowly from west to east along the Arm Mountain. The winding long team could not be seen at a glance. The number of these barbarian teams must be at least more than 2,000. They also carried some imperial slaves and cattle, sheep and livestock.
A large number of barbarians bypassed the Eagle's Beak Rock from the foot of the Arm Mountain and rushed directly to the icefall where the left and right arm mountains met. There was a pass in the canyon there that could directly enter the northern slope of Lake Bellan. As long as these barbarians entered the northern slope of Lake Bellan, the land of Lavenham City would be completely displayed in front of these barbarians, and there was no natural barrier except the city wall.
It seems that this group of barbarians wanted to directly break through the pass defense line and enter the territory of Lavenham City from here.
I stood on the top of the mountain and took a deep breath. Fortunately, the 40 or so barbarians had walked into a dead end on the last section of the road. Otherwise, they could have joined this barbarian brigade as long as they crossed the mountain. In that case, the barbarians would have escaped from us.
And I also found that there were several falcon teams hiding in the mountains. They were all closely following the movements of this barbarian brigade, probably wanting to secretly hunt down some barbarians who had fallen behind...
