Chapter 88 The First Roar

The masons and the apprentices sat on the ground and rested, watching with envy and awe that the magic materials rose into the air under the guidance of Heidi's magic, and were accurately drawn on the surface of the stone wall, while a huge translucent palm was Auxiliary on the side, remove or adjust the vines that affect the drawing of the magic circle, or adjust the rune lines in those subtleties, or inlay augment materials such as mana crystals on key nodes, and in the rune gaps of the magic circle, It was the caverns and pores they had dug out, filled with gleaming crystal "grit."

In their eyes, those finely divided crystals, whose average size is only the size of a grain of rice, are indeed similar to "grit".

These exhausted people still don't realize what they are participating in, they don't even know Gawain's plan to blow up the rock wall, they are just working here according to the lord's orders, but Amber looked at these people, But a strange feeling arises spontaneously.

Except for the final drawing of the detonation array, most of the whole process is actually done by ordinary people - the serfs in the furnace area burned the crystals, and the magic net No. 1 used to charge the crystals was also made by ordinary people. It was built by ordinary craftsmen. Although Rebecca participated in the design of the magic net, she did not use any extraordinary power in the whole process. Then the people transported the crystal here, and the stonemason cut holes in the rock wall and filled the crystals...

In fact, if it is not for the fact that the magic circle is drawn on the rock wall and the time is limited, even the work of drawing the magic circle can be done by ordinary people, as long as they can ensure that all the runes are drawn in the right place and at the key nodes. As long as the magic materials are installed correctly - although this requires some knowledge and skills, it does not require any extraordinary power. Amber believes that even civilians in the territory can master these as long as they are studied and trained.

As for how people without mana can activate this circle... Rebecca has made a rune trigger, and this rune trigger has been proven to work on the detonation circle. Even if there is no rune trigger, the "Magic Web No. 1" in the territory has already achieved the ability to supply energy to the outside world. As long as the charging route of the Magic Web No. 1 is extended, ordinary people can detonate this set called by Gawain. The "big art" thing.

It is true that this process is far more complicated and difficult than snapping fingers of the great magisters, but even considering the possibility of this process being realized, Amber shudders a little:

A group of ordinary people who have no ability to cast spells can actually use this "magic device" to blow up an entire cliff...

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look weird when she looked at Gawain: This strange man who doesn't look like an aristocrat at all... Do you know what he's doing?

However, after only thinking about it seriously for a while, Amber's remaining serious energy was exhausted. She slapped her hands and looked up at the sky again. She realized that it was not time for dinner, so she turned around and disappeared. deep in the shadows.

She will continue to monitor the movements of those aberrations,

And send its information back here at any time, the task is still important.

On the other side, on the mountain pass on the southwest side of the camp and the mountain road leading into the mountain, the two knights Philip and Byron were accompanying Rebecca, doing something they had never done before.

Command your subordinates to lay traps on the ground, a kind of trap that will explode.

The soldiers and the recruited civilians were responsible for digging the pits, while Rebecca took the craftsman to place the "mines" in place. Because as long as the rune trigger was placed on the magic circle, those seemingly harmless crystal particles would be destroyed. It will become a dangerous thing enough to open mountains and crack rocks, so each rune trigger is adjusted and placed in place by Rebecca, and in order to prevent the mindless guy from accidentally touching the mechanism, Rebecca is still in every rune. A red stone is placed beside the trap for marking.

Yes, marked, this is completely inconsistent with the basic professional ethics of laying mines, but it doesn't matter, it's just bullying those aberrations without brains...

Knight Philip watched with a strange expression as his soldiers sprinkled thin soil on the surface of a placed wooden box, and then glanced at other people who were digging a hole not far away, and finally couldn't help muttering to Byron: "This...isn't it a bit out of knighthood?"

"Not in line with chivalry? You mean digging traps?" The gray-haired middle-aged knight glanced at the young talent, "Then what do you think about chivalry?"

Philippe put his hand on the hilt of his sword solemnly: "The knight should confront the enemy with dignity, arm himself with valour and justice, challenge the most powerful enemy head-on, defend the people and the land, and if victorious, return with honor, If you fail, bury your bones in the battlefield... instead of digging traps here."

Byron waved his hands again and again without waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "Stop, stop--you really can't get rid of this problem, you are young and like an old believer. Don't forget, these traps were ordered by the Duke, he is one of the knights. The knight, the hero among heroes, the knight code of the various countries is even formulated with him as a template, do you think the things he arranges will not be in line with the spirit of chivalry?"

Philip was already entangled in this matter, and when he heard it, he was even more entangled: "So I don't understand."

"In my opinion, this is quite in line with the spirit of chivalry," Byron touched his chin, and began to use the eloquence he cultivated during his mercenary period to preach a set of fallacies, "We dug a hole here in an upright manner. Juma on the battlefield is a dignified weapon like the armor on your body, and then we are also going to challenge the most powerful enemy - look at this pit all over the ground, the monster that can come out of it must be the strongest The guy, only such a guy will run to the last line of defense to fight us, and those who can’t even get through these pits are all weak, and fighting against the weak will humiliate the spirit of chivalry…”

Philip thought about it carefully, and looked at Byron with a little doubt: "According to you, these traps are to identify the real powerful enemy?"

Byron nodded: "That's pretty much what it means."

Philip thought about it again: "I always think you are talking nonsense."

Byron laughed and turned to instruct the craftsmen who were placing the "mines": "Pour some more rocks on this, as long as you don't press the mechanism. I have seen the scene when these things exploded. If there are rocks in the pit It exploded even more..."

Rebecca next to her suddenly lit up: "Oh! Can you still do this?!"

"Of course," Byron smiled slightly. "Don't underestimate the wisdom of mercenaries—and the justice of knights."

"Then wait a moment, I'll let the rotten copper and iron that were taken out of the mountains be buried in the trap..."

The half-way monk and the viscount whose brain was caught by the door looked at each other and smiled, reaching a tacit agreement.

Philip Knight, who witnessed the whole process, let out a long sigh.

After a few hours, everything was finally set up, and all the soldiers and civilians were withdrawn to the camp.

Gawain also withdrew.

Those monsters are already very close. According to Amber's report, they are approaching the first trap in the north of the mountain.

Once they begin to sense the breath of the living and the active magical energy, they go from a sluggish wandering state into a frenzy, dashing toward the largest human settlements within range.

The layout has been completed in front of the camp. A large area from the western mountain pass to the camp seems to be a completely unobstructed open space. After crossing this open space, there are temporary wooden fences and wooden thorns - these The effect of things on the aberrations is almost negligible, probably just slowing down their movements at most.

Heavily armed knights and soldiers behind the fence were the camp's last line of defense.

Gawain stood with the guards of the camp. Beside him was Rebecca, who was holding his staff and looked nervous. Behind him were two knights, Byron and Philip, while other soldiers and militiamen were guarding with swords and shields. South Gate of the Camp - Since those monsters have little ability to think and do not know the tactics of detours, as long as the gate towards the Dark Mountains is guarded, it is equivalent to guarding all the lines of defense.

That's probably the only good thing about fighting aberrations.

"Are you nervous?" Gawain noticed that Rebecca had taken a deep breath for the third time, so he asked casually.

"A little bit," Rebecca squeezed out a smile, "strange, I wasn't nervous when I fought them last time..."

"Because you didn't have time to be nervous at that time, but this time you knew they were coming three days in advance. Waiting is the most terrifying thing in the world," Gawain smiled and shook his head, "But don't be afraid, you have to Believe in the power of those crystals - that's what you created."

Rebecca nodded, but then shook her head: "But I haven't been very reliable in anything I've done since I was a child..."

Gao Wen hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up: "Cough, don't talk here, it will shake the military's heart."

Why is this kid's head so bad all the time?

But obviously, the soldiers around didn't pay attention to what their lord and previous lord were saying.

They just stared at the mountain pass, waiting for the moment when the "thunder" burst as the lord said.

In the Dark Mountains, the only way to the mountain pass, Hetty stood alone on a protruding boulder at the top of the rock wall, quietly watching the winding natural mountain path below.

She could already smell the foul breath of those monsters.

The air beside her was slightly distorted, Amber's figure emerged from the shadows, and the half-elf lady's face was unprecedentedly serious: "They are here."

Heidi nodded slightly and looked towards the end of the mountain road below.

A filthy mist rose there, plants withered and fell in the mist, and flesh monsters like giants emerged from the mist, one, two, three... more and more.

Heidi dissipated the shielding spell that had been applied to him, and in an instant, the breath of the living and the active magic energy were all revealed. In the eyes of the monsters from the magic tide, these two breaths were as bright as fire in the dark night. Dazzling.

The monsters that were still slowly swaying "awake" instantly, they let out a chaotic and crazy roar, and then suddenly accelerated like a group of hyenas that smelled blood, and swooped in the direction of Heidi.

Those huge figures began to run wildly on the mountain road, and Amber instantly got goosebumps, but Heidi just watched this scene quietly. any action.

"Okay... so close!" Amber whispered nervously.

"Not yet," Hetty just shook his head. "The more we bury here, the less pressure they have to face, so wait."

Amber grabbed Heidi's arm, and at the same time, half of his body had begun to blur: "Okay, I'll wait for your signal, as long as you detonate it, I'll pull you in immediately!"

Heidi nodded slightly, raised her hand, and released the simplest flashing technique in the direction of those monsters.

The most basic spells caused more obvious mana fluctuations, and those monsters swarmed more frantically. They shoved and crowded together, like a deformed monster formed by a mass of flesh and mud, and rushed to the mountain road with their hands and feet. In the center, he even started trying to climb the cliff on which Hetty was standing.

Heidi activated the magic circle under his feet without hesitation, and pulled Amber's arm: "Go!"

The two figures instantly disappeared into the surging shadows.

The magic circle on the rock wall released a dazzling white light, and a second later, it detonated the countless "mana crystals" buried in various places on the rock wall.

It was like thunder.
