Chapter 0022 Dull War

As a mage, Li Xun still enjoyed a lot of preferential treatment, at least he was not assigned to a certain mountain pass or checkpoint to patrol and guard like some recruited knights, and only needed to stay in a nearby town. Knights will be dispatched to solve small troubles, and only when there is a big problem will the knights come to ask for the support of the mage.

Therefore, in Goodfeli, a small town 300 miles away from Valencia City, Li Xun and another level 4 mage temporarily stayed in the hotel. Eat and drink well every day, enjoy the best treatment, but there is really nothing to do, so I have to re-devote myself to the boring spell learning. Compared with the rapid progress at the beginning, Li Xun seems to have fallen into some bottlenecks, and many spells cannot be successfully learned, so he has to be cheeky to ask his companion Master Musai for advice. After all, Li Xun only came to learn the spells with a utilitarian heart, and he was only willing to learn the ones that were easy to master, and he always skipped the difficult parts, and the knowledge system was full of mistakes and omissions.

The 40-year-old Mage Musai was born a commoner, and he was promoted from a mage apprentice to a full-fledged mage at the age of 25, so he was not valued by the principality, and Li Xun, a rookie who had only been promoted to a mage for half a year, was assigned to this small city, and the two had the same illness and sympathy, and they got along very well. After all, the basic skills that can be worked hard from the mage apprentice are very solid, but they lack the skills of practical application. The two complemented each other, Mousse pointed out Li Xun's opportunistic tricks, and turned back to explain to him the analysis and filling in the flaws, while Li Xun took out his flexibility to fight Dota, explained the coherent casting of various combination skills, and proposed many unpopular skills for using skills. For a time, the two of them were not lonely anymore, and they got together in a room every day to exchange knowledge of interest with each other, until the Archon of Goodfield City found them.

A stronghold far away in the Aveli Mountains has lost contact. It was an official stronghold set up by the principality, and there were more than 20 soldiers stationed in peacetime to prevent the demonic beasts in the mountains of Avili from attacking the neighboring villages on a large scale. Due to the proximity of the war, the stronghold of more than 20 people in peacetime has been expanded to 40 people, but the day before yesterday there was still no contact, and the city of Goodfield also sent a knight to lead 10 soldiers to check, but there is still no return. The Archon of Goodfeli City found out that the situation was serious, so he had to ask a mage to follow the second group to check on the situation in the base.

So an hour later, when Knight Thomas set out with 50 soldiers, Li Xun's carriage followed at the end of the group.

The procession, which had set out early in the morning, approached the Aveli Mountains near noon, left the wagon in a nearby village, and inquired with the village chief, knowing that yesterday's procession had also passed through and had not returned. Since most of the supply of the stronghold is the responsibility of the small village, it was the small village that first discovered the abnormality of the stronghold, but after several times of contact to no avail, even the knight lord in the city has never returned, and the village is now extremely panicked, and all of them are huddled in the walled wall and dare not go out.

Out of the village is a rugged mountain road, Li Xun had to sit on a horse and be led slowly by the soldiers. Knight Thomas was also very cautious, and ordered all the soldiers to march slowly along the mountain road under the leadership of a villager hunter in two columns with shields. After entering the mountains for a mile, despite Thomas's strong dissuasion, the mage still ran out of sight into the jungle to solve the physiological problem, but fortunately nothing bad happened.

Li Xun, who sat back on the horse, pretended to close his eyes with a faint sneer, but in fact, his spiritual power had been transferred to the 16 Tian eaters on the periphery. Soul vision is good, but after all, due to the slow movement of his own movement, while Li Xun secretly released 16 Tian Eaters just now, let them become his eyes!

The reinforcements were still marching slowly, and the 16 Tian eaters had swooped down on both sides of the mountain road to the stronghold 30 miles away. This is only the outer edge of the Aveli Mountains, the trees are not tall, but the shrubs are overgrown with weeds, and the 2-meter-tall tians stealthily through the shadows of the trees through the dead branches and decaying leaves. When Li Xun's team was still halfway, the 16 Tian eaters had already approached the stronghold.

The stronghold was a three-story tower, with a low stone wall of nearly 1 meter built outside the tower, and when the Tian eater saw it through the trees, it was already dead silent. Arrows, swords, broken spears, and broken shields were scattered everywhere outside the stronghold, and half of the half-meter-thick oak gate of the stronghold fell, and the other half was gone, making it difficult to see inside clearly. There was no enemy in sight, and there was no soldier in the stronghold, 15 cannibals were on the perimeter, and another did not hesitate to burrow into the open gate of the stronghold.

This time, the corpses were seen, and it looked like the battle was fierce, and the corpses of some soldiers were scattered on the stone steps from the gate to the top of the tower. It was obvious that these soldiers had fought to the last moment of their lives, and there were strange claw marks and gnawing marks on their faces and bodies, and the eater checked it with his claws, and his face leaked a humanized expression of thought, hesitated for a moment, and continued to run down the stone steps towards the upper level of the tower. At the entrance to the second floor of the tower, there were heavy wooden tables, chairs, and furniture blocking the way, and several soldiers' corpses were lying on it, and the Tian eater gently crossed the obstacle on the wall of the tower and entered the second floor. The hall on the second floor was empty, and there was no clue, so Tian Eater had to continue to step on the third floor. More than a dozen corpses on the third floor, piled together in the middle of the hall, most of the corpses were mutilated and exuded a rancid smell. Tian Eater circled around the pile of corpses a few times, and suddenly rushed down the tower, and disappeared into the dense forest before Li Xun's team arrived.

As soon as they arrived at the stronghold, the ranks were constantly screaming, it was obvious that this place was attacked, thinking of the enemy on the opposite side of the principality, all the soldiers were breathing heavily! Thomas's face was gloomy, looking at the broken weapons in front of the stronghold, his heart became heavier and heavier, and he waved his hand and ordered 5 soldiers to enter the tower to search for survivors, and let the remaining soldiers scatter in battle formation and began to guard the surroundings. Li Xun already knew the situation in the tower, and he didn't stop their search if he didn't see any danger.

The pale-faced 5 soldiers formed a formation, moved into the gate of the stronghold with their shields on their heads, and there were a few short exclamations, and then there was a ** report: "My lord, there are corpses here." ”

Thomas looked at the mage who walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "Master Mage, do you think it's safe here?" ”

Li Xun pretended to look around, nodded and said, "The enemy has left here, I can feel that there are no signs of life here!" ”

"The third and fourth squads stayed behind to arm, and the first and second squads followed me in." Knight Thomas nodded, commanded loudly, and strode into the stronghold first.

Inspected the entire tower, cleaned up the scene, and carried all the found corpses to the training ground in front of the stronghold, looking at the rows of mutilated corpses, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

Knight Thomas had already accompanied the mage to inspect all the corpses, and was looking forward to consulting the mage.

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Knight Thomas, I have very bad news to tell you, I have found traces of undead magic and undead creatures here, it seems that those guys on the other side of the mountain have already put their claws here." You should notice that the number of corpses here is wrong, it looks like they are creating the undead, and we must report to the Archon of Goodfield City for more support. ”

Knight Thomas looked at the already dark sky, and wondered: "It's not too early, now we can only walk at night to return, I'm afraid that it will be more dangerous, and the archon has given us the task of scouting the enemy, and now we don't even know the number and rank of the enemy, I'm afraid to retreat......"

Li Xun replied indifferently: "It's okay to stay for one night, you must pay attention to vigilance, tonight may not be too calm." In addition, these corpses must be burned so that the enemy cannot be given a chance to strengthen himself. ”

Knight Thomas nodded heavily, ordered a pit to be dug on the side of the stronghold, piled all the corpses and firewood in it, set it on fire, and all the soldiers lined up in front of the fire pit to salute and see them off.

Li Xun took advantage of this opportunity to circle around the stronghold, and set up "magic alarms" in several key positions, and when he returned to the gate of the stronghold, he happened to see 2 soldiers under the orders of the knight, remove the wooden shield spear, take off half of the iron armor, and quietly disappeared on the way to come.

Walked into the gate of the stronghold, which had been cleaned and tidyed up, and under the guidance of the soldiers, Li Xun walked into a ** room on the second floor, ate and drank something simply, and then fell on the made bed and began to rest.

Knight Thomas inspected the entire tower again, and saw that the gate was barely blocked by door panels, all the windows had been blocked, and the platform on the tower was also guarded, so he ate and drank in the room on the second floor.

Li Xun was lying on the bed, as if he was asleep, but his spirit had been scattered to the 16 soul connections around the tower, and the 15 Tian eaters were scattered and hidden in the dense forest around the tower, and no useful clues were found, and the remaining one was already 5 miles away, following and monitoring the 2 soldiers who went back to report the news.

Last time, no one was able to report back safely, so this time can be an exception? Is this already being watched by necromancers, and will they come tonight? A qiē is unknown, but nothing to fear! The undead forces are facing the threat of attack from various countries, and it is impossible to send a large number of high-level undead to climb over the Aveli Mountains, and at such a moment, they themselves are overwhelmed, and they still have the spare energy to send people to the Duchy of Novis to cause trouble? Are they here to provoke war or simply intimidate?

Since joining this war, Li Xun wanted to use the cemetery creatures and the undead creatures to collide, who knew that he was assigned to this remote place to eat and wait for death, just when he had given up hope, the enemy actually appeared under his nose, since fate is like this, then come, see who is the head of the first cemetery collision with the undead? Li Xun, who has a soul dao mark and is not afraid of life and death, thought hatefully.
