.

So Bellom won't feel too ashamed for his escape, but the deep shame will always be imprinted in his mind...

We must level the Sora Outpost! We must!

The undead are all vengeful. Whether it is Ansadin, Magda or today's Bellom, they will not let go of any enemy who makes them suffer - and what Bellom doesn't know is that the person who just had an affair with him

The young man they fought turned out to be Roddy, whom he thought was dead...

Bellom escaped from the guard post in embarrassment, and soon found the troops he had left behind - because Master Simon had led a team to attack before, so his team did not have many people at this time, and all the soldiers added

When they got up, there were only three remaining necromancers and seventy undead soldiers.

When Bellom reunited with the team, he immediately wanted to turn around and go to Sola Post for revenge - but the ever-present "forbidden demon" effect made him extremely fearful... After the "rune" shattered

, his strength has obviously declined a lot, and if the "Death Knight" does not have magic assistance, it is equivalent to having his wings broken, and there is no threat at all...

"Damn it! What the hell is going on!"

He tried hard to mobilize the frost elements, but he never made much progress. And just when he was hesitating whether to wait for dawn before taking revenge, his subordinates asked him a question that he couldn't avoid:

Blood Crow detected a group of men outside Elson, and witnessed them breaking the barrier and entering the city!

The news immediately put Bellom on pins and needles.

He was able to get out of Tasman for more than just setting up a sentry. Because the real mission that matters most to His Majesty Augustine is the mysterious Elson and the "charged spar" in it!

It doesn't matter if he messed up the sentry thing. If Elson's treasure is seized by some guys first, Bellom may really have to go back to see Augustine with his own head...

So he no longer hesitated about whether to take revenge, and immediately ordered the troops to get ready and march towards Elson under the cover of night -

"When I come back, I will cut you into pieces!"

Bellom held his broken left arm and made a vicious oath.

******

On the other side, Sauron, who had entered a period of absolute weakness due to the "soul of the ancestors", was lying powerlessly in front of the bonfire.

The original number of troops numbered more than ninety, but in the end, only twenty people including him were able to escape from Sola's post alive.

After this tragic battle, the supplies they snatched back in a panic were not enough to feed the remaining orc women and children for a whole winter... In other words, Sauron's entire plan failed completely, and even cost him almost all of his own resources.

"capital".

The flames were jumping in the wind and snow, as if they were about to go out at any moment. Sauron half-opened his eyes, and the pain caused by the injury made his arms tremble slightly. Although he had been treated with "divine magic" and "witchcraft", his internal organs

The shock injury cannot be relieved. Even a cough at this time will affect the nerves in the whole body and cause endless pain.

However, Sauron almost ignored the pain in his body, because he understood that he had lost all opportunities: the team of twenty people could no longer pose any threat to Sora Post. If they wanted to survive this winter, they had become

of extravagant hopes.

"Is this the end?"

No one would be willing to see all the plans and efforts go to waste like this - but the world is often cruel, and most people's lives will not always go as they wish. No matter how much planning and preparation you put in, it may be ruined by an accident.

Ruin everything completely.

Sauron's silence made the atmosphere in the camp seem to freeze. The injured soldiers ate the food they had snatched, but they felt that the originally delicious bread had become tasteless... They were not fools. What did this situation mean? In fact,

Everyone knows it.

But this atmosphere was quickly broken by an inexplicable shock.

Sauron frowned, gritted his teeth and sat up, and ordered someone to investigate. The orcs had poor vision at night, but the snow-white ground allowed them to quickly figure out what happened... The orcs who were investigating ran back to the temporary camp with excitement on their faces.

He shouted: "It's a herd of antelopes! Hundreds of them!"

The earthquake caused animals to behave abnormally. The antelopes that used to hide in the mountains were frightened and rushed out of the gondola mountain. After running exhausted for several hours, they accidentally approached the rope.

Long’s location…

Such news made the "King of Ten Thousand Axes" take a deep breath - all the power seemed to return to his body. He reached out and held the "Skull Crusher" that originally belonged to Rody, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly.

The voice said: "Everyone is ready to hunt! We will definitely survive this winter!"

******

As midnight approached, the "forbidden demon" effect finally disappeared, and the depressing atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The bonfire was burning brightly. After the two towers were destroyed by the earthquake, the interior of Sola Post looked a little messy. However, the gap in the city wall had been repaired at this time, and the patrol team was vigilantly guarding the city wall, always paying attention to those who might approach.

enemy.

Soderall, Hanks and others were seriously injured. After receiving treatment, they had fallen asleep. The snow was falling quietly. Roddy was sitting in the commander's office that originally belonged to Hanks, looking at the "On Defense" in front of him.

The Self-Awareness of the System" was slightly lost in thought.

"When the barrier decays to collapse, it will produce an 'element vacuum' effect. If it is forcibly opened, it will produce a larger shock. If not, it proves that it dissipated naturally..."

The high elf writing on the book seemed to be floating in his mind, telling Roddy the fact every word: Elson's barrier had been forcibly opened at this time.

This means that Rody's biggest goal of this trip, "Elson City", has been preempted by others...

No matter how hard he pretended to be calm, Roddy was still a little confused because of the news.

Among the three forces that faced off today, Rody finally became the "biggest winner" with his own decision-making and luck - his team achieved the goal of "taking back the sentry" at the cost of the death of 23 followers and the injury of 68 people.

And because of the existence of Akasha and others, all the "wounded soldiers" who had troubled the army the most in the past have recovered their combat effectiveness with the help of potions and magic. If Hanks and the remaining knights are included, the combat effectiveness of this team will be

In essence, it has not been weakened.

But Rody was not at ease at this time - he sent out scouts without interruption to confirm Bellom's location, hoping that the other party would not launch a revenge raid immediately.

The waiting was anxious. Roddy's eyes were sunken, and his face was pale due to exhaustion and injury, looking like a legendary vampire.

The wooden door was pushed open. Roddy raised his head and realized it was Akasha, so he said in a hoarse voice: "You haven't rested yet? Go to bed quickly. I asked Hanks to separate a separate room for you and Nata to rest."

Room."

"I'm not sleepy yet. Come and sit with you for a while."

For the first time, Akasha's tone revealed some unquestionable flavor - as soon as the words came out of her mouth, even she was a little surprised as to why she spoke to Roddy in such a tone.

She handed the hot water in her hand to Rody. The cold night made people's hands and feet feel cold, and Roddy was indeed a little cold. Looking at the steaming water cup in front of him, he couldn't help but be touched. He took it with both hands: "

Thanks."

Akasha didn't smile, because she could see Rody's haggardness and exhaustion, and she could feel the tremendous pressure he was hiding in his heart. Somehow, seeing Rody like this, she felt her heart aching.

Wanting to ask, but feeling that she couldn't help at all, Akasha bit her lip, and finally sat directly next to Roddy...

There were no other chairs in the room, and the one Roddy was sitting on was a slightly larger wooden chair. When Akasha sat next to him, she naturally wanted to be close to his body, which made Roddy suddenly change his attitude toward Elson.

He came back to his senses from his guess and instinctively moved to the side.

At this time, the distance between the two people was about five centimeters.

"Rody, today you...you saved me again."

"That guy is very strong, I'm afraid something might happen to you." Roddy rubbed his brows. He originally thought it was not appropriate to be so close to Akasha, but his physical fatigue made him give up the idea of ​​standing up and walking aside.

, he thought for a while and continued: "Sooner or later, you will meet him again, so...use those scrolls if you can, don't hesitate."

He began to have headaches about Bellom's strength again. Even if the opponent used "Rune Decomposition" once, he was still unable to compete with him. If the opponent came again, could he really be killed with scrolls? He was really anxious...

Although Rody was always distracted, Akasha sitting next to him didn't seem to mind at all - Akasha rarely took the initiative to do anything in her life, but after being injured in the afternoon and seeing Roddy being so nervous about herself,

But she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then inexplicably felt an unprecedented joy...

He turned to look at Rody and asked in a low voice: "Your wound... doesn't need treatment anymore?"

"That's it, I guess there will be no problem tomorrow." Roddy's [Status Bar] has already had the debuff "the treatment effect is reduced by 15%" due to frequent magical treatments. There are still some sequelae from the kick in the chest.

But he doesn't plan to rely on magic anymore.

After saying this, the two seemed to be in an awkward situation - Rody didn't know what to say, but Akasha was considering whether to take the initiative to hold Rody's hand...

Because she wanted to make Roddy relax a little in this way.

Of course, no one knows how much "selfishness" there is in this, but for Akasha, who has never held anyone else's hand, such "initiative" has already exceeded the limit.

Moving her fingers slightly, Akasha took a slight breath and asked, "Rody, are you worried about something else?"

As she said this, she gently moved her palm over, but before she could touch Rody, a figure appeared in front of the unclosed door...

"The scouts said that the undead have retreated and are heading southwest overnight. I -"

Nata appeared silently, but before she finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Akasha's hand as if she was attracted by a magnet...

The wood elf's brows furrowed, and Akasha immediately caught such a slight emotion fluctuation - it stands to reason that if someone saw her and Roddy so close, she would definitely feel uncontrollable shame, but

Facing Nata at this time, Akasha used some strange fingers to hold Rody's hand tightly.
