Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Nicholas nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, bring those businessmen and I'll ask them."

"Yes."

The soldiers beside Nicholas went to look for them, and after a while, they found those people from Green Lake Port.It was a group of merchants, and the leader was a lean middle-aged man, tanned, who was said to be the leader of the group, named Sulis.

Nicholas asked the team leader, "Leader Sulis, let me ask you, what happened in Green Lake Port?"

The man said nervously: "That's right... Leoric's fleet sailed from the Three Curves River into Green Lake Port, and then, Green Lake Port fell, and the governor was also hanged to death."

Nicholas asked, "Did the Governor have Leoric hanged?"

"No, Leoric didn't do it himself. He incited the mob to hang the Governor."

Nicholas asked: "How does an invader incite the people of Port Green Lake?"

The man said: "Uh, he divided up the governor's property, and then took out a sum of money to distribute a lot of relief food to the people in Green Lake Port."

After hearing this, Nicholas frowned, and sighed in his heart that the big murloc had also sighed before——Leoric is so vicious?Actually distributed food to the people in Green Lake Port?Is he so rich?

The merchant continued: "Leoric bought people's hearts, and the people in Green Lake Port are convinced of him now. But we believe in Sir Nicholas, so we came to the Bachelor City to join you. I hope the Lord can give us a place to stay. "

"Okay, take them to the hotel to rest, and ask me to reimburse the bill later."

The merchants left thankfully, and then Nicholas gave a speech to stabilize the hearts of the people. The general content was that although Leoric will come, don’t worry everyone, I already have a countermeasure, and the final victory must be We... and so on.

Then Nicholas and his right-hand man returned to the scholar's tower, locked the door, and began to discuss countermeasures.Although there are many well-educated people in the city of bachelors, Nicholas doesn't believe in anyone, or he simply looks down on those other scholars, so he does everything by himself.

At this time, the astrologer Sonara said: "Master Nicholas, you just said that there is a solution, what is the solution?"

"A way? A way, a way..." Nicholas wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, his movements exactly the same as before.

Do you want to think about it now?The two men looked at each other, then spread their hands.

Nicholas said as he walked: "Leoric has arrived at Green Lake Port, at most one day's journey away from us. I estimate that he will attack Bachelor City within three days, but it will take another seven days for the ancestors to break the seal. We We must delay time...so we don't seek to defeat him, as long as we can delay time."

Nicholas also said with a solemn expression: "The successive failures of 'Harlan's eldest son', 'Walrus Mysri' and Delvin Jagbob are indeed a major blow to our family, but we have basically figured out how Leoric To be honest, judging by the current strength on paper, we seem to have the upper hand, but in a real fight, even if the 5 people in the Bachelor City are relying on the city wall, they will not be the opponent of the Northern Expedition..."

Compared to Harlan's eldest son's arrogance and Delwin's "on paper" at the beginning, Nicholas, an old and cunning guy, is quite cautious.He is knowledgeable and has personally fought wars, so he naturally considered more when making plans.

"They have cannons, but they probably don't have much ammunition, otherwise Leoric will use these weapons even more aggressively." Nicholas touched his chin with a pensive expression on his face, "They also have magic elves, as far as I know, It's a half-blood elf. I know the half-blood elf woman who is following Leoric. Her name is Romila, and she is the queen of the half-blood elves. I don't know why that noble and arrogant elf nobleman serves Leoric, but This is really tricky. There are not many mixed-blood elves, but all elites are excellent archers. In addition, the intelligence system of the Northern Expedition Army is very strong. They use some flying elves among the half-blood elves to collect information. It’s an order of magnitude ahead of us in intelligence.”

"Their cavalry are all high-footed horses, and they are equipped with barbarian armor and sabers. There are also rumors that there are some demons in his army. In addition, Leoric himself is particularly powerful in martial arts. His sword skills Very clever, it is said that he has an immortal body - I think this is a bit of a rumor, at best, his body is stronger than ordinary people. Oh, and he will be similar to the magic of inviting the gods..."

"I don't know anything else, but the magic of please is a child's play in front of me." The one-eyed Flo said with a smile, "There is no need to worry about this matter."

Nicholas nodded and said: "This is not the full strength of Leoric, he must have many abilities that we don't know about."

The astrologer said impatiently: "My lord, we all know these things, why do you still bring them up? Isn't this destroying your prestige?"

Nicholas said: "No, no, I want to remind you not to underestimate the enemy. Whether it is Delwin or Harlan's eldest son, they all have a chance to win, but they have not been cautious enough. Although Leoric has a different position from us, But his tactical achievements are unmatched, and we must recognize this in order to understand him and overcome him-you two have experienced no failures in your previous lives, just like Harlan's eldest son and Walrus M. Like Sri, this is a very dangerous thing. You must have awe in order to defeat such a powerful enemy."

The astrologer said: "Of course I will not underestimate the enemy, and I have countermeasures. The knowledge and strength given to us by the ancestor gods can help us defeat Leoric."

"It's the same with me, my lord. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to start now! I'm going to set up an ambush in the 'Black Water Forest' in the west of the city, and plunge into Leoric's kidney like a dagger!" One-eyed Flo said viciously.

Nicholas said, patted Flo on the shoulder, held Sonara's hand again, and said, "You are my most loyal subordinates, and also my students, and you are one in a million people favored by the ancestors, Delwin's Death has already made me very sad, if you have any troubles... Alas!" He sighed, and then said solemnly: "But you have to remember that time is on our side, as long as the two of you can delay If you live in Leoric, then his death will be seven days later. During this period, you must not think about fighting him, as long as you can delay the time, understand?"

"Yes, my lord."

The two said this on their lips, but they didn't care about it in their hearts. They thought at the same time: delaying time?Why procrastinate?If I kill Leoric with a single knife, do I still need to delay?

The power given to us by the ancestor gods is not for "delaying time"!

……

Leoric stayed overnight at Green Lake Port, and continued his rapid march the next morning.

An army of more than [-] people lined up in a long line on the small road. The line stretched for several miles, and the end could not be seen from the beginning. Guarding the flanks, the flower fairies scouted in the air.Philip's men escorted caravans, carriages, and a small number of wheelbarrows to transport food and grass in the rear, and the siege machine team was with them; The hammer group also walked with them with siege equipment; the weather was hot, and the murlocs chose to go further to the mud ponds and swamps, so that they could roll in the mud to relieve the heat at any time. The city didn't need them, so Leoric allowed them to take a more comfortable path.

Along the way, Leoric hardly saw any civilians. The villages Leorick passed were basically only old people and children, and there was no food in the villages.

Obviously, Nicholas evacuated this area, and the enemy implemented a wicked scorched-earth policy, taking away everything that could be taken away, and burning everything that could not be taken away. In this way, Leoric could not get any food along the way. Replenishment.From a human point of view, the scorched earth policy is indeed immoral; but from a war point of view, it is right. After all, General Akkad did the same thing to defeat the barbarians.

But from this point of view, Leoric felt that Nicholas was at least stronger than the previous opponents, and there was something wrong with that.

In addition, Leoric also saw a large number of dilapidated churches. It seemed that Nicholas had a grudge against the Seven Gods. He smashed all the churches of the Seven Gods he saw, and even painted them all Weird painting of evil gods.After seeing these things, Fu immediately shouted "Seven Gods" in fright, and then told Leoric very nervously, saying: "These things come from a cult called 'God of the Starry Sky'. It is said that they are astrologers I don’t know the specifics of the sects established after being bewitched by evil gods, but according to historical records, they did many outrageous things, such as sacrificing babies, forcing human women to have sex with livestock, or large-scale burning, killing, and looting, etc. wait……"

Feite on the side said: "I have heard of this cult, but they have disappeared for many years, why did they suddenly appear here?"

Leoric stared at the paintings. There was no magical element on them, nor did they correspond to any kind of understandable magic. They seemed to be just ordinary graffiti.It's just that these graffiti are really ugly. The above content contains elements such as evil gods, killing, sacrifice, universe, self-destruction, sex and violence...etc.

Leoric ordered the soldiers to cover these disgusting things with paint, and then continued to march. Just like this, he walked forward for a while, and suddenly came to a three-way intersection.The road sign at this intersection was chopped off, and a very strange statue stood where the road sign used to be.

The material of this statue is metal and not metal, and stone is not stone. At first glance, it looks like a kind of flowing green clay, exuding a wet sea smell, but it has a strange metallic luster when you look closely.Leoric swears that he has never seen anything so strange in his two lifetimes.What's even more strange is the shape of this thing. It is roughly a humanoid creature with a bloated body, thick hands and feet, and sharp claws; it has a mess of tentacles on its head, and its facial features cannot be seen clearly; shaped scales.The most eye-catching thing is that there is an astrolabe on its chest, which is painted with complicated star charts. Numerous small stars seem to be carved out of precious stones, shining brightly, forming a strange shape; Dozens of tentacles emerged, and each tentacle was covered with similar stars, which looked weird and beautiful.

Leoric couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked everyone, "Is there any master who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable to explain, and which god is this?"

The flower fairies of the mixed-blood elves sent word back and asked the regiment leaders and the scholars accompanying the army. After many questions, Fu knew more about religion. She said, "This is an evil god enshrined by the astrologers, called 'Star Judgment'." ', also known as 'the ruler of the stars'. I don't know why it appears here."

Leoric said: "This thing looks evil, smash it for me!"

Leoric gave an order, and everyone went up with a sledgehammer, and a strong man at the head pointed at the statue's head with a "boom!" and hit it with a hammer.I thought that the hammer would smash the evil statue, but I didn't expect the hammer to sink in!

The sledgehammer seemed to have smashed into a ball of water, and half of the hammer went in.The strong man pulled it out hard, but the hammer didn't move at all, and he called several people to work together to pull out the hammer.As soon as the hammer was pulled out, a green liquid was brought out, which had an extremely stench.Looking at the statue again, it is still intact.

What is this ghost?

The hammer didn't work, so everyone switched to swords to chop, but the sword would sink in, and it was extremely difficult to pull out after sinking. There was even a man whose barbarian saber was "eaten" by this statue, and he was so angry yell.

The sword didn't work well, so I changed the gun to stab it again, but the result was the same. I couldn't pull it out, but the statue would grow back quickly after it was pulled out. Later, someone suggested burning it with fire, but it didn't help.Everyone was annoyed and frustrated, and at this time Leoric was also a little annoyed, and said, "I don't believe my mother can't cure you!" Looking at the statue is a knife.

"Crack!"

When the knife went down, the statue's body and head were separated immediately, and at the same time, a large mass of white matter exploded from the port, flying towards Leoric's face!

"What the fuck is that!?"

Chapter 180: The Devil Hits the Wall

Leoric chopped off the head of the statue with a knife, and a lot of white matter came out of it.People around couldn't see it clearly, as if it was a ball of white rice grains, but Leoric was the closest, but he could see it clearly at a glance.That's a lot of white maggots!These things were originally stuffed inside the statue, but they burst out when they were cut with a knife.

"Fuck!"

Leoric yelled, and jumped back quickly, because he was quick-handed and quick-sighted, so he didn't get touched by that thing.At this time, these living maggots scattered all over the ground like flowers. Leoric looked at the writhing big maggots, and couldn't help frowning disgustingly. Nothing to hurt, but definitely enough to be disgusting for a long time.

Then Leoric said, "Bury this thing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their shovels and buried the evil and disgusting statue in the soil. After burying it, they pressed a big stone on it, as if they were afraid that it would come out.

Then everyone moved on without taking the statue to heart, but Leoric still did.He thought to himself: People in Bachelor City know that the Northern Expeditionary Army is about to overwhelm the country, and when they are about to die, they use a statue pretending to be maggots to disgust me?It can't be that simple, can it?

After walking forward for a while, suddenly there was fog in the woods.The water and soil in the swamp are humid, and the air is also humid, especially the area around Bachelor City belongs to the basin, so fogging is a normal phenomenon.But as the fog grew thicker, Leoric felt something was wrong, "Stop!" he said loudly.

The messengers passed the information backwards, and the army stopped in an orderly manner from front to back.Then Leoric said, "Hite!"

"Here!" Hite of the Hawkeyes quickly rode to the side of Leoric.

"Raise your vigilance and disperse the scouts. The terrain is steep and there is heavy fog, so it is easy to set up an ambush."

"Yes!" Heite, the man with sharp eagle eyes, nodded, and then said in a loud voice: "D formation, spread out on both sides!" Following the command of the regiment leader, the scouts also Then expand the scope of investigation.

Leoric continued, "Romila!"

"Yes, my lord." Romila's clone appeared in front of Leoric.

"Investigate the heavy fog in this area for me to see whether it is formed naturally or caused by someone. Pay special attention to the magic elements nearby."

"Yes, my lord." Romila immediately spread out her avatars, and ordered the other flower fairies in the elf army to go to the sky to scout, looking for traces of the enemy.

Leoric thought to himself: Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Although I am very strong, I should also be careful when fighting.For Leoric, beating Nicholas is equivalent to farming wild monsters. If a soldier dies, wouldn't it be a blood loss?

Suddenly, little Romila on Leoric's shoulder shouted, "Leo! Look!"

Little Romila was small, but her voice was not small, and her voice was shrill. Leoric's ears were buzzing when she suddenly yelled.But he didn't have time to blame Romila, but immediately looked in that direction. Seeing this, Leoric also exclaimed: "Fuck, what the hell!?"

I saw a familiar scene appeared in front of the fog - in front of a three-way intersection, a statue of the "Ruler of Stars" was erected impressively.The statue was covered in oily green, with a ferocious expression, tentacles gleaming with light spots all over its body, holding an astrolabe in the center.

Didn't I just bury this thing?Leoric walked up quickly, and sure enough, it was the statue!And at this time the statue is intact, no wounds can be seen.Leoric looked at the surrounding terrain again, and was startled again: Why is it still the three-way intersection?Did we go in a big circle and come back?

Ghost hitting the wall?

Leoric was wondering, when the soldiers behind suddenly shouted: "It's bad, we got separated from the main force!"

"what?"

How the hell could this get away?The entire army marched in a long line, and the soldiers saw that the distance was no more than half a meter, and the distance between reaching the shoulders of the front team could still be separated?Don't say it's foggy, even if you close your eyes, you won't get lost.

Leoric followed the sound and rode back. At first, the large troops were lined up in a neat row, but before they had gone far, they saw a thick wall of fog in front of them, and the troops were covered by the fog. The wall cuts off.

The wall of fog was milky white, and Leoric couldn't see through it.So Leoric picked up the pecking eye and activated the vision bonus of the holy relic, but even with the "pecking eye" vision bonus, he still couldn't see the fog wall clearly.Leoric asked the soldiers behind him, "What's the matter with this wall? When did it come out and how did it come out? Has anyone ever gone in?"

The soldier tremblingly said: "General, this wall came out suddenly! I was still talking to the brother behind me, but he suddenly lost his voice! When I turned around again, I could only see this man-eating man The wall was broken. After the cavalrymen noticed it, they rushed into the wall to find someone, but they never came back after entering.”

ha?So wicked?

When Leoric looked around, he was suddenly horrified - he saw such a milk-colored fog wall all around, and even the sky above his head gradually became like this.It was as if a big white bowl had dunked all of them in here.

"Tight formation!" he ordered, "with me at the center, on alert!"

The remaining soldiers immediately changed their formation, from a long line to a circular formation, united around Leoric.Leoric rode on the horse, scanned the audience with his eyes, and found that there were about five hundred people on his side.Then Leoric asked Romila, "What does the Flower Fairy say?"

Little Romila closed her eyes, pondered a little, and said, "My avatars reported that the entire army was cut into dozens of small pieces by the mist, and then the other flying soldiers of the half-blood elves reported that they descended from the sky. Looking down, I can only see a large milk-colored mist, and some flower fairies try to pass through the mist, but after getting in, no matter which direction they fly, they will eventually fly back vertically.”

It's evil, is it really a ghost hitting a wall?

Obviously this is some trick of the enemy, probably some kind of magic that has never been seen before.His grandma's playing dirty, right?

Leoric didn't believe in evil, so he said: "You put the large army on alert first, and stand by for orders. I want to break into this place."

"Yes, my lord."

So Romila sent an order to the troops divided by the fog wall behind, asking the person with the highest rank among them—whether the regimental commander or the centurion—to come out to maintain discipline and stand by for orders.However, some of the divided teams happen to have no flower fairies among them, and there is no way to do this, so we have to wish them good luck.

Leoric said: "Puscilla, Saner! Come out!" With a touch of the rune on his hand, the succubus and the hellhound appeared.

"Bring me the rope and the compass!" he ordered.

The soldiers brought a rope, and Leoric tied one end of the rope to the "male waist" of the humanoid Cerberus, and let Pushira lead the other end, saying: "Pushilla, hold the compass and hold the rope. Fly all the way east and see if you can get out of this wall of fog; Romila, you send a flower fairy to follow her, we want instant messaging."

"Yes, General!" the two said in unison.

So Pushila took the rope and flew eastward, while Huaxianzi held the compass to show her the way, and the two disappeared into the mist after a while.As Pushila got farther and farther away, the rope was dragged longer and longer. At first, she walked in a straight line, but she dragged the rope and started to turn sharply!Leoric quickly shouted: "Romira, you have deviated from the direction! Stop!"

"what?"

The rope stopped moving, and Romila sent a message, saying, "No! We just fly straight east, and the compass is fine."

"Then fly south now," Leoric said.

Romila and Priscilla began to calibrate their bearings, but something strange happened, the rope still didn't follow the intended direction; then Leoric told them to go back, but the rope still drifted north...just like that After a few laps, suddenly, Pushila emerged from the fog wall behind the troops!

Leoric asked in surprise, "Why did you come out from behind?"

"I don't want to go in the back either...ah no, I didn't expect to come out from here either!" Holding the rope in her hand, she said with surprise, "I obviously entered from the front!"

Can Qing Puxila fly all the way to the east, but in the end, he made a big circle and returned to the original point like this?Leoric couldn't figure it out either, and rubbed his chin with a puzzled expression.Romila said: "My lord, there is nothing wrong with the compass. We really flew east at first. But then...something distorted this space, or our sense of direction."

"The sense of direction is more likely." Pushila nodded, "Because the magic of distorting space is too difficult, but the sense of direction is relatively easy."

Leoric nodded, thinking: So how am I going to break this ghost wall?

At this time, Romila told Leoric: "General, it's bad! There is an enemy situation in the rear. A group of ghost soldiers is attacking our center."

Leoric asked, "Ghost soldiers? What?"

Romila pondered a little, and said: "From my perspective, a group of translucent soldiers suddenly appeared from the mist and attacked our people. The enemy is a group of dwarfs with unusually small eyes. Deep in the bald head like a spherical dome, there is no hair on the body, uglier than goblins... And among these soldiers there are some extremely powerful ghost monsters, their roars... Ah!" Romila let out a cry Screaming in horror.

At the same time, Leoric heard a sharp and piercing beast roar from behind!The voice was like a wolf, but also like a tiger. It made one's scalp tingle, and white sweat protruded from his back.Leoric could feel such strong fear from such a distance, so the soldiers at the scene were not scared to death by the sound?

When Pusilla heard this, she frowned immediately, and said: "These should be illusions. My senior sister is practicing this. I have seen her summon an illusion dragon. It looks the same as the real thing, but there is no entity." , if you hit someone, you will only be unconscious."

Leoric has also heard of this type of magic. The "secret magic" he learned before has some knowledge of the principles of illusion. The so-called illusion is to use sound, light, magnetic field, magic elements and other substances to deceive people. Human senses, thus obtaining all kinds of unimaginable magical effects.It now appears that the enemy first used illusion to cast a "ghost hitting the wall" magic, thus trapping the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, and then summoned ghost soldiers to attack the Northern Expeditionary Army.According to Romila's report, only a small number of troops have been attacked by the enemy. It seems that the enemy wants to defeat them one by one.

Although phantoms can't kill people, their attacks will directly cause mental damage, commonly known as falling san. Once the spirit is damaged, the soldiers may collapse, coma or go crazy, which is no different from death.

At this time, Pusilla spoke very quickly: "The best way to get rid of the illusion is to find the guy who cast the illusion!"

Just kill the summoning snail first?

"Okay, quick battle!" Leoric said.
