Twenty Sided Dice

William Uther led his six knights and a hundred squire knights as the forward of the entire army, and quickly approached Heim Land from the Ore Avenue. [77nt.] They were all equipped with horses, and the knights had the advantage of one man and two horses. This force was the pride of the entire South, and only House Uther had such a large number of cavalry. The land in the south is humid and hot, which is more suitable for growing dense trees than flat grasslands. Every year, the Uther family buys a large amount of the best pasture from the north to feed their war horses. They believe that with excellent war horses, excellent knights will come here.

William Uther was still very curious about the newly established Heim Territory. It is said that the lord there was just an ordinary sailor more than a year ago. Later, he saved Prince Aaron's life by coincidence and won the title. His baron title can only be passed down for three generations, so he is not considered a true noble in the eyes of many people, and from the perspective of his management of the territory, this person is only here for the money of the gold mine. Merchants from the top of Mora flocked and traded stone, wood and grain for his gold, in William's opinion Heimland had done a bad business.

If we capture this gold mine, we can equip more knights, and then the Uther family will have the strength to unify the southern lords and become kings. And this war does not even need to find additional reasons. Lord Siegel's letter full of lies slandering his brother Karov Uther as a bandit is a challenge to the entire family. I remember when my father received the letter, he looked gloomy and tried to tear it to shreds several times. But in the end he smoothed out the folds on the letter and put the letter away.

"I want to watch that hairy boy eat this letter bit by bit." Lord Viscount made up his mind at that time.

It's hard to say whether this war is for revenge or for gold, maybe both. As the second son of the family, William Uther could not inherit the title of Viscount. But he knew that the castle he had built would be his domain in the future - although the gold mine would definitely belong to the family" - but the rest was already satisfactory to him.

At least he has a good castle and can become a lord. Thinking of this, William let the team continue to speed up. I found a passing caravan on the road just now. They were unfortunately attacked by "goblin bandits". Died on the roadside. But the "goblin robbers" saw Uther's cavalry scattered in a hurry, and didn't have time to loot the goods - anyway, this is the fact that will be recorded, or there will be no record at all.

In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack and occupy the gold mine before the other party reacts, William chose to set off before dawn and spend a whole day. 92Ks.Com arrived at the Zebra Mountain Gold Mine by late at night. Take a few hours of rest and take over the mines before the sun comes up again. This can not only prevent the mines from being artificially destroyed, but also put the garrison of Myr into a dilemma.

Riding in the dark is a very dangerous thing, if it is in the woods or wasteland, he would never dare to do so. Whether it's a protruding tree stump or tangled grass. There is a possibility of injuring the horse's hoof. However, on Ore Avenue, such a situation does not exist. Although the road is not smooth, there are no obstacles that can hurt the horses.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard the neighing of horses and the sound of knights falling to the ground behind him. Then he felt the ground shaking under his feet, and his mount was a little unstable. He quickly made adjustments, allowing the horses to quickly change pace, slowing down and relaxing the muscles of their four legs to prepare for unexpected situations. at this time. He heard the constant cries of knights and the sound of mounts falling.

This is certainly not a normal situation, but the moonlight in the sky alone cannot see the surrounding form at all. Whether to light the torch made him hesitate. Now that he has entered the range of Heim Land, if the young lord has arranged a sentry in the Zebra Mountain Gold Mine. Then it is possible to find the light of the torch from a distance, revealing the actions of this vanguard.

Just at this moment, a cloud of mist drifted over, blocking the moonlight above their heads. This is the middle of the night, where did the clouds come from? William couldn't understand the reason, but the surroundings became darker than before. And the shouting of the knight and the neighing of the horses urged him to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Light the torch, be careful." William ordered helplessly.

under the light of torches. He finally saw the situation on the road. At some point, there were hundreds of fist-sized holes scattered all over the ground. Just enough to sink the horse's hoof, and then don't break the horse's leg. When was this dug up? William had an ominous feeling. Before killing the businessman he encountered, he also inquired about the road conditions of the Ore Avenue. The guy who was frightened by the long sword never dared to lie. From his trembling voice, William clearly heard the answer he wanted: "The road is smooth and there is nothing blocking the road."

There were only six horses with broken legs, thanks to the fact that the team they rode was not concentrated or fast. The horse struggled and tried to stand up with a broken leg, but Lily fell down with a neigh. William was distraught, especially seeing that its original owner seemed to have been thrown dizzy and forgot to deal with the injured horse.

He took the javelin off the saddle and threw it precisely, piercing the wounded horse's neck and relieving his pain. Other horses with broken legs were treated the same way, with their bodies dumped on the road. "Leave a few horses, pack up the weapons and equipment on the ground, and follow up as soon as possible." William gave an order: "It seems that the enemy is prepared, and we must be ready to engage at any time." He was on horseback He straightened up and looked around at the knights: "Remember, the sooner you occupy the mine, the more time you will have to clean the battlefield, understand what I mean?"

There was a whisper of hehe around, and the torches illuminated many greedy eyes. Everyone understands the benefits of taking the gold mine first: the gold that is too late to be transported in the alchemy room is more beneficial than any other reward. Everyone is scrambling to join the vanguard, not for any honor, but for something more practical.

The fallen knights left behind took the time to unwrap items from their dead mounts, including longswords, shields, javelins, bows and other items. The vanguard will not wait for them, and if they go too late they will get nothing. They put a torch on the ground for lighting, and several people worked together to turn the body over to remove what was crushed underneath.

At this time, the remaining horses suddenly screamed in horror, then broke free from the reins and ran to the south. They panicked, and two more were trapped and fell to the ground. The horseless knight immediately drew his long sword and looked around vigilantly.

They felt a slight vibration from the ground under their feet, and some small stones jumped gently on the road. Then they saw two mounds arched in the middle of the road, and human-shaped monsters wrapped in rocks and mud burrowed out of the ground. Although they were as tall and short as ordinary humans, and had no weapons in their hands, this strange thing still terrified several warriors.

These were Siegel's runic elemental guards, and their master was commanding not far away. Through telephony, Siegel can accurately transmit orders to the earth element, and can ensure his own safety. He could see the situation on the battlefield through the torches of the enemy, but there was no light around him, and Uther's cavalry could not see him.

Baron the Raven discovered the cavalry early, and the wizard with the phantom steed is obviously more mobile and can get ready before the enemy. Siegel just didn't expect that the innocent businessman would be killed, and he was determined to make William pay the price. Using the ability of the earth element, and constantly hammering the ground with his fists, Siegel created a whole horseshoe pit. However, he had only read about such a tactic in a book, and this was the first time it had been applied, so the effect was not very good. Only six of the 100 cavalry were hit, but fortunately they didn't have to pay any casualties to get the result.

Seeing the earth element in front of them, the soldiers of the Uther family looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The earth element was not ordered to attack immediately, so it stood in the middle of the road like a sculpture. Siegel ordered Balon the Raven to land, heading south on the Ore Drive. I saw that the cloud that blocked the moonlight quickly lowered and then covered the road.

Cloud Mist is a spell that can only be cast on oneself, mostly used when fleeing. However, familiars can share the effects of spells released by their masters on themselves, so the raven becomes the core of the cloud. This would of course make the poor bird unable to see clearly when it was in the air, but Siegel could telecommand it on the ground to make it hover in an area. In this way, the moonlight can be blocked within a certain range with clouds and mist, and the cavalry will be plunged into a dark dilemma.

Now he used the same spell to block the way the "infantry" escaped south, and then ordered the earth element to start attacking. Uther's soldiers hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the back road was blocked, they could only summon the courage to fight back. They threw javelins and throwing axes, but had little success with earth elementals. In addition to very elite weapons, iron weapons made by ordinary blacksmiths are difficult to cause obvious scars on the rock shell of the earth element. If you use ordinary arrows, you can't even shoot through that layer of soil. Ordinary people can only really cause substantial harm to them if they use their full strength.

If it was Siegel, he would only need to add "magic boost" to his weapon to overcome this protection, but he was with the earth element. Seeing that the clay monster was about to rush in front of him, the warrior at the front raised his long sword and slashed with all his might. The earth element in front of him suddenly dipped, and everything below his waist fell into the ground, as if merging into it, he easily avoided the attack. The rock-formed arm made a straight punch, hitting the enemy's knee head-on. The shards of flesh and blood were squeezed out from behind the iron plate of the kneepad, and the soldier lost his balance and fell forward. The Earth Elemental punches upward, hitting the enemy's door. Nosebleeds and teeth flew together, and even the painful wailing was beaten back. Just as the other warriors were about to come to support, they saw the earth element slowly sinking into the ground, like a crocodile lurking in a swamp.

They looked in horror at the empty ground around them, huddled back to back. At this time, there was a slight vibration under their feet again, and the small stones jumped and jumped. (To be continued)
