Twenty Sided Dice

On an early morning when the sun was obscured by clouds, Heim's army - including a thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry - set foot on the mid-mountain trade route and headed north.

This is the second group of soldiers who have set out in recent days. The tips of the soldiers' guns blinked under the pale yellow morning light, and they kept shaking with the neat pace. Siegel watched them go, and looked around him alertly. Fortunately, before the falcon appeared, the elves could not see this direction.

To the east of the elf camp another attack from an unnamed resistance group drew their attention. But for the sake of safety, the team still has to keep as quiet as possible. Every forty people or so, a soldier is responsible for holding the silent rune stone to eliminate the sound of marching as much as possible. Runestones are placed on a device similar to an elemental scepter, which can be energized by the Energy Focusing Lens Array within the Heim Territory.

Siegel stood in an arrow tower in the outer city wall, watching the Elf camp through a shooting hole with binoculars. Those keen creatures seemed unaware of what was going on in Myr. They were still tending plants, maintaining weapons, or praying, exactly as they were every day before.

He saw Elf Leah and went to the shooting range to practice archery early in the morning. It's not right to do this! Siegel wanted to tell her. As a general, you should find ways to defeat your opponent, try your best to find the enemy's weakness, and strike mercilessly. Instead of holding the advantage and thinking that you can wait for victory, as it is now.

The white feather arrows hit the bullseye accurately, just like the six arrows in front of them—Lea relied on such things to relax her mind. She understands Siegel's character, and since he has not surrendered, he must act. There is always the sound of training in the city of Myr, but the Druid's falcon has reconnaissance, and those knights can be used to defend the city.

Recently, the number of rune stones has increased again. His energy must be completely occupied by these things, right? According to the Luna priest, Siegel's runes have reached the production level of elite craftsmen, with stable quality and fast speed. Although paid quite a few gems for it. However, it is worth doing something that can tie the hands and feet of a mage lord and benefit the elves on the battlefield.

Leah knew that this peaceful situation would not last long, and the decisive battle in Waterdeep was about to begin. When the cancer of the Knox Common Society needs to be removed, the largest human city in the New World will be occupied by elves. After the Three Peaks Pagoda. It will be Hub Fort and Creekwood Town, and it will be Heim Land.

So she planned to visit Siegel secretly after the victory at the Battle of Waterdeep, persuade him to surrender, and leave the New World in a decent manner. He wants to learn magic. The Mages Society is a better place. As for the funds needed for study, he can take as much as he can, and the elves will not stop him.

While thinking about this in my mind, the arrow in my hand finally missed the first nine hits every day, and the tenth missed the bull's-eye. "If all hits are hit, there will be no room for improvement." She explained to the elf beside her with a smile, and after finishing her warm-up, she walked to the Moon Temple. It was time to pray.

At this time, Siegel had adjusted the direction of the telescope and looked at his army. Ser Manna herself led the army. Humke and the Orc Deva brothers rode alongside him on horseback. They wear off-white magical breastplates, and their helmets are deliberately unpolished to reduce the risk of detection.

Half-orcs made up more than half of the Heimland army and never came out to train during the day, so the elves didn't know their true numbers. Their natural strength and physique are superior to those of humans. Coupled with sufficient food and rigorous training, they have already exerted their physical potential. In the binoculars, they are all tall and sturdy, with strong muscles under their thick body hair, and their robes are fully stretched.

The cavalry that followed were mostly human - the horses didn't like the smell of orcs. It was very difficult to train, and only a few orc generals had docile mounts. How much role this cavalry can play in the north is still unknown. Siegel's main purpose is to let them learn from the cavalry of the Jackdaw tribe and be responsible for reconnaissance and cover on the battlefield.

To cover the march. Mid-Levels Merchant Road suspended all freight traffic a week ago, clearing the road. Siegel's messenger visited all the castle lords and handed them handwritten letters.

Heim is led to support the battle in Waterdeep, and Siegel is to perform the duties of a baron. The good cooperation allowed the lords to agree to the request of Heimland and allow his troops to pass through.

The entire march takes twenty days, and supplies are ready at the destination and along the way. So you don't need too many minions to follow. Siegel was not involved in the march, he could use teleportation to join them directly at the destination.

"I will stay in Myr City and continue to paralyze the spirit of the elves." He explained to Mana and Humke, "You go first, set up a camp, inquire about information, and contact the Jackdaw tribe as soon as possible to act together. . Their goal is Waterdeep, and you have another mission."

"Aren't we going to Waterdeep?" Hunk asked in confusion.

"I will go, but first of all, we must ensure the safety of the back road." Siegel said: "The spirit of resentment went south and forcibly broke through the forbidden barrier of the City Wall Mountains. You have to scout the situation there. There will be a second time, think who else is on the north side of the mountains?"

Mana had known about Siegel's arrangements when she was in the Jackdaw tribe. After the orcs won the last battle, there was no reason why they couldn't take advantage of Waterdeep's weakness. And through the Dragon Knights, the Knox Commonwealth can also mobilize this huge army. Siegel deduced that if the situation is not good, the joint will likely lead the orcs to the city wall and mountain range, and use their power to deal with the elves, turning the two-race war into a three-race melee.

Siegel had to prevent this from happening if he wanted to be victorious. So to go to Waterdeep City, but first make sure that the city walls and mountains are not in a situation.

Fortunately, the forbidden rune enchantment of the dwarves still covers most of the mountains, and there are not many places where the orcs can pass. Siegel and Kerry's soldiers should be able to establish a defensive position and take advantage of the terrain to resist.

Counting the people who set off today, Heim led a total of 5,000 troops. Compared with the elves and orcs, the number was inconspicuous, but their training level was very high. Unlike the peasant soldiers of other lords who only took up arms at the beginning of the war, these men of Heim's lands were trained according to Humke's standards, and in some respects were more demanding than knights. They practiced with great concentration two types of equipment: the spear and the crossbow, and were familiar with the use of shields and armor. Hunk did not require them to master various weapons like knights, not even taught the use of long swords, but made harsh requirements on spears and crossbows.

Hopefully these will help them get through this war. Siegel thought.

"The mercenaries and caravans will bring equipment to help you build fortifications, so your goal is to find out the situation of the city wall, mountains and orcs as soon as possible." Siegel patted Hunk on the shoulder and said to him: "Over the mountain The Orcs. If you can still get in touch, you might as well let them participate. There are still many places to place them in Heim Territory, and the Ghost Mist Swamp is very fertile.”

The soldiers moved forward silently, like a torrent of steel. When the sun dispels the morning fog and finally illuminates the world. The army of Heimland had disappeared into the mountain pass.

Really wanting to leave with them, Siegel put away his binoculars and felt the raven's feathers. During the time he was trapped in Myr City, Balon had grown fat due to lack of activities. Although the feathers all over the body are still bright, but when you press down with your hand, you can feel the soft body. The raven rattled in disapproval, but made no resistance. It had learned to speak long ago, but never used it in the presence of Siegel. The two lives are one body, and the language communication seems too slow.

"Remember those mercenary chiefs you saw the day before yesterday?" Siegel said to his familiar: "I don't know what kind of people Johnny is looking for."

The Heim Territory has only been established for two years, and it can only be regarded as a newborn in the New World. Despite victories in several wars and some fame. But it was never a place that mercenaries liked. Home to half-orcs, gnomes and many wandering half-elves, it is seen as a place of savagery and chaos. The lord was so young, only twenty years old, with only the experience of seamen and mages.

Those who can become mercenary leaders are either cunning or smart, not just martial arts and prestige. They tested him in their own way. Lu Bo of the Golden Blades only sent his second deputy, and claimed that he would not participate in anything, just to listen to the fun; although the big fat Rogerfo of the Yanyang Brigade was talking and laughing, he always used others. He made a statement, but he didn't mention anything useful; Memo, the head of the cape dart team, had silver hair and tried to seduce Siegel during the meeting. And hinted that the beautiful female swordsmen around her could join the game together; the strong man Luo Qiong nodded and agreed to everything, showing his loyalty all the time, like the vanguard of Heimland.

Siegel is very calm and polite, but also has the majesty of a lord. Two large fire elementals walked in. The hall door slammed shut. Except for a little sunlight coming in from the windows, the room was illuminated only by the dazzling red flames of the fire element.

Under the apparent threat, some calmed down, others were louder, but none were stupid enough to draw their weapons. Siegel waited for a while, then glanced at the crowd in turn. He tapped the ground with his staff, and then sent the sound to everyone's ears.

"I won't talk nonsense, just ask, do you want to make money?"

The clinking of gold coins is more effective than any words.

"Lord Lord, we are eating on your territory, and we will naturally serve you with all our heart."

"I ask you all to pack up and go to a place," Siegel said. "Ser Manna will give you assignments."

A simple sentence certainly won't reassure them, but it's even less likely to explain a detailed plan to these people - Siegel has experienced the impact of a change in identity. As a sailor, he had seen serious, demanding and even critical cargo owners, always commanding them to do their jobs - a role he needed to play now.

Whether it is the proud Lupo or the flattering Rogerfo, the beautiful Memo or the strong Luo Qiong, they only have three days to pack up and leave the city of Myr. Or take the gold and follow the caravan to find Mana, or go outside the city walls to find the elves. The fire elementals will scour the entire territory, and there is no place for them to hide here.

Naturally, everyone was talking a lot, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com secretly looked at Siegel with different eyes. The mobilization of the army in the castle has already attracted their attention, so these people can't help but worry, will all the actions be traps set for them?

"You only have three days, don't waste it." Siegel raised his hand, and the fire element swayed from two to four. The room was even hotter, sweat dripping from their foreheads involuntarily. For adventurers and mercenary teams, elements, undead, constructs, mud monsters, and plants are called the black five types, and they are the types they least want to encounter, but Heim has a lot of them. Four elemental creatures patrol the walls of Myr every day, showcasing the realm's distinctive power. Some teams with Warlocks felt it more clearly: the power emanating from the elemental creatures and the entire energy-focusing lens circle made the natural spellcasters in the team feel the pressure.

It was the first time they had seen an elemental split, and at the same time, it had not changed in size or strength. Those who want to oppose the lord's order seem to plan to destroy the entire army.

The situation is not forgiving, no matter if there is a trap in front of you, you can only bite the gold coins and jump down. The heads of the regiments looked at each other, and none of them had the courage to raise their heads against it, so they had no choice but to accept it.

They both went through tough wars afterwards and became rich. (To be continued.)
