Chapter 148: Combat Preparations
According to the information provided by the cultists, Jenn and the others quickly found the base of those guys -- the lairs of these cultists were located at the junction of Starfall's Fang and the Landa River Valley, and the terrain was precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Except for the beach at the entrance, which is a smooth road, the rest of the place is a steep cliff that mortals cannot climb at all. According to the captives, there was also a cave in the lair, and I have to admit that this was a natural fortress.
"I'm afraid it's hard for us to get close to them."
Climbing the hillside, hiding in the shadows of the rocks, Dobby returned to the group behind him, frowning and shaking his head.
"I saw two frost giants guarding the gate, and the river beach in front of them was so flat that there was no way to hide their shapes. If we attack from the front, we will be immediately noticed. β
Hearing this, Daily was silent for a moment, and then asked.
"And what if it's with invisibility spells?"
"It's useless, the river here is very slow, and the river is very wide, even if you use a stealth spell, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
The two talked in a low voice, and finally shook their heads helplessly. Soon, the two of them set their sights on Jenn, and in fact they knew that if there was anyone here who could accomplish such a seemingly impossible task, it would be Jenn. Sensing their gaze, Jenn just reached out and pushed his glasses, then shrugged his shoulders.
"The other party's defenses are very tight, and it is unlikely that they will want to sneak in, once they are discovered. Then we can only attack head-on, although it is nothing for us, but if the other party sees that the situation is not good, then it will be even more troublesome. β
"yes..............."
Hear Jenn speak. Deli nodded heartily. The most troublesome thing about cultists is that their wildfires can't burn out the vitality of the spring breeze. Once one or two cultists run away, there's a good chance they'll take a group of people with them to retaliate. Mess up the whole territory. That's why the nobility didn't want to provoke the cultists too much. These guys are completely insane, and even the bandits and bandits are as ruthless as they are.
"Are we really going to attack?"
"Of course, attacking is about attacking, and as long as there is enough right timing, then these guys are not so difficult to deal with......... But first, I need to prepare. β
With that, Jenn ignored Deli and turned around and gestured to the young knights not far behind him. Seeing Jenn's gesture, the girl knights immediately nodded quietly. Then a few of them turned their heads away. Whispering something, he soon saw dozens of knights in costume silently disperse and run around.
"Ah......... It's good to have a subordinate, and I miss my subordinate..............."
Looking at this scene, Patilina, who was leaning next to Jenn and holding her head in her hands as if she was sleeping lazily, couldn't help but sigh, she opened her mouth, yawned, and then turned around. Raising his head like a kitten, he stared at Jenn with sparkling eyes.
"Hey, master, how about you summon Patilina's men too? I promise you, there are a lot of cute girls in it, right? And it's all very useful. The host can play as much as you want, and more importantly not get pregnant! How is it? Master? And unlike this group of Ji Ji, my subordinates are all normal people. You'll love them. β
"It doesn't matter if it's normal or not, as long as it conforms to the aesthetics, I like it."
As he spoke. Jenn reached out and patted Patilina's little head.
"I'll think about it. But for now, you'd better go about your own thing. β
"Okay, master, promise to complete the task!"
Feeling Jenn's touch, Patillina immediately wagged her tail like a puppy, and then ran quickly towards the other side of the hill with her huge spear, and it was not long before she disappeared completely into the gap of the huge rock, and disappeared without a trace. It was only then that Jenn quietly pushed down his glasses and turned to walk to the other side.
In fact, for Jenn, it was not a problem at all to be found or something. If he had appeared here as a dungeon master, then those aliens alone would have been enough to wipe out these guys completely. Despite the steep terrain here, the alien is the kind of guy who can crawl silently even with a smooth ceiling, and it is no problem to deal with these cliffs. Jenn was sure that if he handed it over to the aliens, it would only take one night to quietly kill all the cultists. Whether it's a frost giant or a kobold, they can only wait for death.
Sadly, however, he is now the righteous hero of the surface -- and if he were not known to all the exaggerated people, he would not have been the hero sung by the bards.
"Mr. Jenn..............."
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Jenn turned his head to see that Lygia was standing not far away, looking at him with a complicated expression. Judging by her slightly rapid breathing and clenched fists, Lygia looked quite nervous at the moment. But it's no wonder that she's just an ordinary person after all, and just facing the battlefield has already made her feel quite a lot of pressure.
"Mrs. Black..............."
Seeing her presence, Jenn nodded, and then he glanced curiously to both sides.
"What about the two maids?"
"I left them in the rear to guard the supplies and wagons, after all, they are too young to be suitable for this kind of scenario."
Saying this, Jenn noticed that Lygia's gaze was a little wandering. She didn't look at herself, but wandered around at the weeds in the rocky crevices of the surrounding mountains and forestsβit was clear that the lady was not good at lying.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Black."
Seeing this scene, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, revealing a strange smile, and nodded slightly at Lycia.
"I'll let you see my victory."
"Ahh Is it......... That, this ......... That's ................"
Facing Jenn's smile again. Lycia looked a little nervous. She lowered her head, avoiding the eyes that looked like they were magical.
"Mrs. Black?"
And watching Lygia's movements. The smile in Jenn's eyes grew thicker. But unlike the look hidden behind the glasses, Jenn's expression was a little strange at this moment. He only frowned slightly, and looked at Lygia with a certain bewildered look. Sensing this, Lycia looked more and more panicked, and she hurriedly raised her head, forced herself to smile, and then shook her hand at Jenn.
"It's nothing, I'm just going to get a little bit distracted..............."
As she spoke, Lycia instinctively wanted to back off. But unexpectedly, the stone under his feet suddenly loosened and slipped down. This caused Lygia, who had lost her balance, to fall backwards. And Ligia, who didn't expect this to happen at all, suddenly opened her mouth and wanted to scream, but before she could make a sound, she saw a light and shadow flash in front of her, and the next moment, Jenn's right hand had already blocked her mouth and almost burst out of her scream. His left hand wrapped around Lycia's slender waist, allowing her to escape the fate of rolling down the hill.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦οΌ β¦β¦οΌοΌ β
This sudden scene made Lygia struggle instinctively, but Jenn's strength was obviously not something she could break free. After a few ineffective blows, Lydia raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. And when her eyes reflected Jenn's dark eyes again. Lygia, who had been struggling desperately before, suddenly stopped, and it was obvious that looking at her seemed to have completely remembered what had happened to her.
It was only at this time that Jenn let Regia go again. Hold her firmly on the ground.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jenn, I didn't expect ..............."
"I know. Mrs. Black. β
However, Lygia's words were not finished. It was interrupted by Jenn.
"Forgive my rudeness, but this is a battlefield after all. I hope you'll be a little more cautious......... The battle is about to begin, so I'll take my leave. Then Mrs. Black, be here to witness my victory. β
As he spoke, Jenn bowed respectfully to Lygia before turning to leave. Looking at Jenn's distant back, Lycia just stood there and didn't say anything. She involuntarily reached out and gently stroked her lips -- the touch and masculine breath that had remained on them came to her face, as if she had once again captured Lycia's sanity. For a moment, she even wished that she could follow behind Jenn, but soon, Lygia dispelled this unrealistic idea, she was just a powerless nobleman, even if she followed Jenn's side, what could she do?
Thinking of this, Lycia lowered her head and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, hey, hey..............."
And just as Jenn turned the foot of the mountain, there was a strange laugh, and the next moment, Patilina sneaked out of the side.
"Voyeurism isn't a good habit, Patilina."
"I know, master. But that human is really funny, or I think humans are funny............... Looking at her appearance, she is about to be completely conquered by your master, when are you going to do it? β
"At least not now."
Hearing Patilina's inquiry, Jenn shook his head calmly.
"A good dish is not only about being able to eat, but also about the food you cook, as well as the ingredients and skills......... It's just the beginning, and if you can't get it, then it's just a waste of effort. β
With that, Jenn shrugged his shoulders and looked at Patilina.
"How's the setup?"
"It's done, master."
"Good."
Hearing this, Jenn nodded in satisfaction, and then he snorted coldly and spoke.
"Let's get moving!" (To be continued......)
