Twenty Sided Dice

When they left the City Wall Mountains, the resentful spirits had dispersed, and they could finally see the setting sun. The light of the setting sun is about to be half blocked by the horizon, and it has begun to fade away, but it still leaves a trace of warmth for those who escaped. The wasteland in front of him was covered with a layer of orange-red color, which was vivid and vivid. This vibrant color dispelled the gray and black clouds that were pressing on everyone's heads. They mustered their last strength and walked down the last section of the mountain road. When the sun was slowly sinking in their right hand, and twilight followed, they finally had to stop and set up camp.

After all, they have been rushing for a whole day without sleep, and with amazing perseverance, they have covered the distance that usually takes more than two days to complete. Although it seems to be safe for the time being, the threat of the orcs has not really been lifted, and it is impossible to know how much damage the Wraith has caused.

Everyone set up a camp under the stars and moonlight, and the conditions were extremely simple. Even His Royal Highness does not have a tent, let alone a civilian with bare hands. Since he didn't know the surrounding situation, he didn't dare to start a fire at first. It was not until the mountain knight carefully searched the vicinity and arranged heavy guards in key places that the fire gradually rose.

The raw materials for the fire are collected from the trees on the hillside, after all, everyone has descended below the woodland line. Siegel used magic to light the first one, and then there were fires scattered throughout the group. Everyone gathered around, heated food, melted snow, and stretched their tired bodies as much as possible. The pastors of Chenxi took advantage of this time to extend their blessings so that everyone could have a good night's rest.

Sir Bill found his apprentice, "Siegal, can you see in the dark with your spells?" After receiving the mage's affirmation, he continued: "Tell me, is the road ahead safe? Which direction is safe on the wasteland? "

"I won't be able to find out until my familiar comes back," Siegel replied, "The wraiths on the city walls are still interfering with my senses. I always feel a chill behind my back. So I can't tell the difference. The situation ahead. Maybe the priests of the Temple of Dawn have a better answer, after all, they can communicate with the gods."

"They say it's going to be a dangerous night tonight. Don't rest too hard and keep your weapons handy."

"Janet will help me keep watch," Siegel said. "You have to be careful too."

The theme of the second day was still on the road. Fortunately, the orc camp at the foot of the mountain was penetrated by the Paladins, and no other enemies caused any trouble to the team. And they have a few more freshmen. The survivors of the broken mercenaries came back with the priest, and they also came to the master to thank him.

"Your spells are really useful." The mercenaries received the reward, and they were the happiest beings in the entire team, so they always laughed and said: "When they heard the disordered order, they stopped and walked back. I looked around strangely, thinking that we still had soldiers in ambush. Everyone took the opportunity to get out of the battle, although they were a little embarrassed when they escaped. But they finally saved their lives. "

"That's what you deserve," Siegel said. "Hurry up and keep up with the team, there's still a long way to go."

Raven Baron finally returned to Siegel's sensing range at this time, and could communicate with him through the link of the soul. To the east of the team, there are two orc troops with a size of 200 people, one of which is also equipped with a warg that can quickly attack. The West has no enemies, but no place to rest, and the monotonous wasteland has neither water nor food.

There are sporadic orcs in the south, which pose no threat. As long as the forward moves fast enough and doesn't let any of the scouts go, it won't attract large troops for the time being. Raven also reported that. A two-day walk away, the human camp was found, which initially seemed to be a mixed vanguard of the Waterdeep City and the prairie people. If you can get in touch with them. His Royal Highness would be much safer.

After much deliberation, Siegel took the giant Kerry to find His Royal Highness. At this time, Aaron was completely supported by the power of alcohol. Although he seemed to have strength, the rush of the journey had made his body weak. When others weren't paying attention, he leaned on the hexapod's saddle for a nap, trying to recover as much as he could. But as long as His Royal Highness is still there, the power of the Temple of Morning Sun will not be withdrawn, and everyone has always held out hope, so His Royal Highness is also the source of many people's popularity. Many people wanted to lean against His Highness. Earl Todd always took the trouble to send these people away. Regardless of Siegel's special status, the Count has a good impression of him. Nature gave release.

Evan calmly woke Prince Aaron and reminded him in a low voice: "Baron Siegel. Mr. Mage is here."

A glass of red wine was handed to His Royal Highness at the right time, and the bright red wine moistened the shriveled lips, just like replenishing blood for him. Prince Aaron breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "My baron, what's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness, this is my trusted comrade-in-arms, the leader of the Jackdaw tribe, and a well-known giant in the northern grasslands, Kerry Chenko." Siegel said to His Royal Highness the Prince very solemnly: "If the prince Your Highness approves, and the giant Kerry will lead his cavalry troops to protect and fight for the honor of the Starry Kingdom."

Kerry blinked, he was not stupid, he knew that Siegel was helping him, and at this time he quickly expressed his attitude: "His Royal Highness, we have always admired the mighty Kingdom of Stars on the grasslands. I remember that my great-grandfather lived in The Kingdom of Stars, it’s only after the emergence of the New World that I came here to seek life.”

"Yes," Siegel added. "Even after Waterdeep was declared a dominion, the Jackdaw tribe has maintained a traditional way of life passed down from the Starry Kingdom. They are more farming, supplemented by nomadic, adhering to It is the custom of being honest and responsible. This time, it is also the time to rush to the city wall mountain range to serve His Highness. Their cavalry troops are ready, and they can rush to His Highness as long as they give an order.”

Aaron was still in a trance, but Siegel still listened to most of what he said. He managed to stay awake, forced a smile, and said, "Kerry, come to me. The Star Kingdom will never treat friends badly. The other tribes on the steppe should learn more from you. You can take the jackdaw's way of life, That is, the customs of the Star Kingdom taught other tribes so that they can accept your leadership and serve the royal family." He paused, the words just now consumed a lot of his strength, and he needed to gather his strength again. "I canonize you as a knight, and the jackdaws as your title. Go, find your cavalry, and bring them. I really want to see if those steppe people are as majestic as you."

Siegel gestured to Kerry, and the two of them saluted appropriately. "Anything else?" asked His Royal Highness.

"Yes." The mage said quickly while the prince was still alive: "According to your previous order, I have conquered some orcs and used them as warriors. Using them as seeds, the north of Waterdeep City will gradually become friendly with the Starry Kingdom. .I think since the orcs in the City Wall Mountains can be rewarded for their exploits against the orcs, can the steppe herdsmen adopt the same policy?"

The prince thought for a while, thinking that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Waterdeep has been disobedient to discipline for a long time, and they have obtained secret funding from many kingdoms in the Old World on the condition of maintaining their independence. For the time being, the Starry Kingdom does not want to use force to take back the city, and the current direction is to strengthen its voice in the city. Infiltrating and buying the Lord Council of Waterdeep City is one aspect. If you can increase your control in the northern wasteland, it can play a role in both inside and outside.

What the nomads of the steppe want is nothing but titles and possessions. They cannot cross the sea on horseback and are no threat to the Starry Kingdom. Prince Aaron looked at Kerry's tall and sturdy body, thinking whether to find someone from the family to marry him, so that the union could be further strengthened. But at this time, his head began to ache, the scene in front of him began to blur, and obviously his body began to become weak again.

"Okay, I agree. Earl Todd will follow up on this matter." He waved to the loyal old minister, signaling to stop. Siegel saluted again, pulling the giant Kerry away.

When they returned to the resting place and made sure that Prince Aaron and Earl Todd could not hear, the giant Kerry asked: "Where can I find the cavalry, they are all in the south of the grassland, and I have no time to bring them. Come here! Besides, you may encounter enemies along the way, not only the orcs, but mainly the coveted tribes. It's too dangerous to cross the grasslands with troops."

"Don't worry, you don't need to bring troops when you go back. The Mage Federation will send a teleportation system mage, and they will arrive within a few days. His Royal Highness will leave here soon, and there will be no cavalry."

"In other words, I earned a title for nothing?" Kerry was still a little puzzled: "What's the use of this?"

"As long as you maintain a respectful attitude, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can get all kinds of supplies and equipment." Siegel lowered his voice and said to the giant: "Don't you want to be the king on the grassland? Come from the kingdom of stars. Weapons and equipment can quickly increase your strength."

The giant frowned and said, "But I don't want a king on my head."

"Trust me, Kerry," Siegel said. "Three years."

"What do you mean by three years?" the giant demanded, but Siegel said no more. When Earl Todd's valet sent a document explaining how the Jackdaw Tribe communicated with the Starry Kingdom, Siegel summoned the Phantom Horse.

"Remember, you don't have to come back." Siegel repeated: "I will find you when I have time."

"That's a good feeling!" Kerry happily got on his horse: "Teach my son spells then!"

Siegel nodded and watched his brother leave, after which he returned to Janet. With only the last few steps left to complete the original vision, Siegel smiled at the kitten and said to her: "It's time to lift the curtain of the north." (To be continued)
