Broad World
Chapter 157 Sundaba (Subscribe)
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone found a hidden place in the distance to light a bonfire. Henry sat next to him, inspecting some severely deformed golden books. This was picked up on the ground when he passed the entrance of the cave. Due to the serious damage, it can no longer be used.
"We're going to get out of these hills soon, and we'll see the Raven River in a few days." Zuwosa said to everyone while stirring the soup in the cauldron. This was picked up at the door, it should be the pot used by the orcs for cooking.
"I hope the weather will be better in the next few days. Don't let it snow in advance." After speaking, Henry reluctantly stuffed the book of myriad changes into the dimension bag. He had already modified it with spells just now, but within three days, he would definitely not be able to use it anymore.
Vaughn looked up at the sky, there were not many clouds and they were not cloudy. "We still have enough time, but it is best to speed up a little from tomorrow, otherwise we may still be blocked by heavy snow."
Henry sighed. "Then let's go to bed quickly after eating, and continue to drive at night from tomorrow. I feel that accepting the task of Elastra this time is really a big loss. The reward she gave is not worth the danger we encountered."
The soup was cooked quickly, and after everyone made a bowl, the rest was served to Ares together with the pot. Everyone lowered their heads and ate silently. The continuous fighting made them a little tired. After dinner, Henry placed several scream traps around the camp, then got into his tent and turned on the system.

6th-Level Spell Uses 3: Accident
Amy has risen to level 12 without accident, and finally can use level 6 magic. Looking at the skyrocketing experience points, Henry couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, large-scale wars are the fastest way to upgrade. Now he only hoped that there would be more orcs besieging Sundabar, so that he could hide behind the city wall and use magic to kill the enemies desperately, and he might be able to upgrade to another level when the task was completed.
The night in early winter was very cold, everyone was lying in their tents tightly wrapped in sleeping bags, only Ares was snoring beside the warm campfire.
Nothing unexpected happened the whole night, and Henry walked out of the tent yawning at dawn the next day. The ranger, who was used to getting up early, was cooking porridge on the bonfire, and Ares was tickling on the tree next to him. Seeing that no one else got up, he simply greeted Zuwosa and began to wash his face and brush his teeth.
It didn't take long for the smell of porridge to come out, and Amy and Vaughan woke up after asking about the smell. They immediately walked out of the tent and began to clean up their personal hygiene, and soon everyone sat around the campfire and had breakfast.
As the weather began to turn cold suddenly, Bamberke looked very unsuitable, shaking and cursing non-stop. Henry felt a little funny when he saw the parrot, but he took out a fur bag to put it in, and hung it on the waist of the orc warrior.
Everyone set off again immediately after breakfast. They walked very hard because there was no ready-made road. After several days of non-stop driving, I finally walked out of the hilly area when snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
Henry looked at the frozen river and smiled, they were finally not blocked in the mountains by heavy snow. "Vaughn, go and see if the ice on the river is frozen solid and can bear the weight of Ares."
The half-orc warrior nodded, strode forward and jumped a few times in the middle, and then poked with his weapon again. "Head! Come here! The river is very frozen, even if a giant dragon comes, there will be no problem."
"Let's go, in about half an hour, we can eat steaming food in the warm hotel in Sundabar." Henry said as he took the lead and walked towards the opposite bank.
"I just want to find a safe place and have a good night's sleep." Amy yawned and shrank her neck. The continuous rush for the past few days is not a small burden for her with the weakest physique.
Zuwosa smiled and said to Amy: "Don't worry, your wish will be fulfilled soon. The dwarves there are very hospitable, and of course their wine is also very exciting."
As they were about to reach their destination, everyone's emotions began to rise. They talked and laughed along the way, and their excited nerves temporarily suppressed their fatigue. After only ten minutes of walking across the Ruiwen River, the magnificent city wall was slowly revealed on the horizon. From a distance, many figures can be seen walking up and down.
Seeing that the city hadn't been surrounded by orcs, Henry secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He led the crowd to speed up the pace of their feet, and soon came to the gate of the city. The guards in charge of guarding the gate stared at them cautiously, and the two defensive crossbows on the city wall also aimed at them.
"Travellers! Report your names, what do you want to do in Sundabar this season?" A guy who looked like an officer asked loudly.
Henry took out Alastriol's handwritten letter and handed it over. "We are reinforcements from Silvermoon City. This is a letter from Ms. Elastret. You can read it."
"Please wait a moment, I need to let the mage identify the authenticity." Said the officer and ran into the city gate with the letter. After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came out.
"Earl Henry, thank you very much for arriving in time. These must be your adventure partners. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Heim, and I am the mayor of this city. You must know that the orcs in the mountains are not very safe now. We have to be careful. Please forgive me if I offend you." He bowed and apologized.
Henry smiled and waved his hands. "It's okay, I can understand your nervousness. Can you briefly talk about the current situation of these orcs?"
"Let's talk while walking, it's not polite to let guests stand in the cold wind." Heim said, leading Henry and his party into the city gate.
"According to the news sent by the scouts two days ago, the orcs have assembled an army in the mountains. They are so numerous that they can't see the end at a glance, and they have united two giant tribes. This may be the most violent attack since the establishment of Sundabar. Our situation is very severe." Heim introduced the current situation while leading the way.
Henry listened carefully to his introduction, and comforted him with a smile on his face: "Don't worry too much. After all, there are strong walls and elite soldiers here. I haven't heard of any orc leader who can lead an army to capture this place. I believe this time will be no exception."
Heim shook his head with a wry smile. "The entire city has only about 15,000 permanent residents, and the army has only 2,500 people. The rest are civilians with little combat experience. We have very little data on spellcasters. Apart from a small number of priests and druids, there are only four official mages, and their spellcasting level is not high. I also hope that Silvermoon City can send more reinforcements this time."
"The troubles in Silvermoon City are probably no less than yours." Henry described the army of monsters he encountered on the road.
Haim's eyes widened after hearing this, and he didn't close his mouth for a long time. "My God, what's going on this winter, all the monsters in the Northland are besieging the nearby towns. Is someone planning some ulterior conspiracy?"
Henry spread his hands helplessly, he is also at a loss now. Normally, monsters that go out to plunder due to food shortages will not form a large scale if no one organizes them. But there are so many abnormal things on the Faerun Continent that it is impossible to judge anything from the information obtained now.
Haim quickly led the crowd across the street and came to a building that looked like a castle. The guard at the door saluted the mayor and opened the door for them.
"This is the city hall, and it is also a war fortress. The underground here is the volcanic fissure that we need to guard. Well, you must be exhausted after talking so much. I will arrange the rooms for you first, and then I will let the kitchen serve a sumptuous meal." Haim said that he arranged everyone in the guest room on the second floor.
The half-orc warrior turned his head after seeing him leave and said, "Head, I don't think it's very safe here. Look at the patrolling soldiers outside, all of them are nervous."
Henry rubbed the stubble on his chin and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, there is a solid double-layered city wall here, and the orcs will definitely not be able to break in based on their numbers alone. Even if they have some secret weapon to destroy the city wall, we still have enough time to retreat calmly. Don't forget that not far from here is the Raven River. When the time comes, we only need to run to the opposite side first, and then use spells to blast the ice, no matter how many troops can get through."
Hearing Henry's plan, everyone put their hearts in their stomachs. It didn't take long for the steaming food to be brought into the house, and everyone ate it with big mouthfuls. These things tasted much better than the stews during the journey. After a full meal, Henry randomly found a table and took out a blank scroll and ink, and copied down the spells that had not been used today.
Ever since he left Silvermoon City, he had been in constant danger, and he didn't dare to transcribe the scroll in such an environment. Now they finally arrived at a relatively safe place. Even if the orcs attacked immediately, they could defend for at least a week with the power of Sundaba. (To be continued.)
