Chapter 57 - Eve of the storm
The atmosphere in the fortress has been very strange recently, and everyone is caught in some kind of blind tension, perhaps because General Yusuf has raised his alert level, but Peggy is more willing to believe that it is because of the Rangers. Terrible signal.
They refused to perform any suicidal investigation task again, and the matter had reached the edge of mutiny, and Yusuf agreed to their request.
In the last large-scale investigation, they verified that Yusuf had always worried about a certain issue-the Ouk tribe seemed to have been unified and was gathering here.
The weather is still clear, but the invisible dark clouds envelope the entire line of defense.
Pegdor brushed the dust off his robe, walked out of the meditation room, and the incense was wrapped around him for a short time, and was quickly wiped off by the breeze. The soldiers around him nodded to him.
As he looked back, he walked to another meditation room, and Pegedo prepared to visit the second crow wizard, Kaman, who was not in his entire fortress.
Kaman is one of the volunteers sent by the Three Witches, and he is also an acquaintance. Although they have their own mentors, they are all studying in the Miyu Forest. In a sense, it is a relationship of alumni. The wizard still maintains an ancient method of education. The instructor and his disciples practice in a secret place. There are nine such places in the entire empire.
Pegdor stood outside the door of the meditation room and felt the tide of Hanan tide through the thick wooden door.
Any wizard is extremely fragile and dangerous during meditation. It should not be disturbed for any reason. This is the first lesson Peggy’s past as a wizard apprentice.
took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. Peigo estimated the time. They started at the same time, and logically it should also end at the same time. Their daily meditation is not for a specific purpose, but only to temper their own spiritual entities. Immersing in Hanan for a long time is not only ineffective but also dangerous.
Waiting quietly, Pei Gedo did not show a trace of impatience, and his mind was intertwined with the scene of a few days ago, what exactly is the sign of Hanan? Do those mountains refer to the nearby Ridge Mountains?
Like a calm lake throwing a stone, Pei Geduo felt a discordant ripple and soon turned into a turbulent wave.
Kaman has an accident!
He did not hesitate to gather his strength and pushed open the door.
“Kaman!?”
The small space is filled with milky white incense. They are so strong, like a viscous liquid. With the turbulence of the air flow, they roll out different scenes, and there seem to be countless grotesque faces hidden in the depths.
Kaman sat on an expensive blanket, his eyes closed, his face pale as a dead man, covered with fine sweat beads, an ominous breath appeared on him.
“Damn!”
Pegdor knew that he must be in trouble in Hanan. He quickly walked to the other side, pressed Kaman’s forehead with his right hand, closed his eyes, and sank his spirit into the vast ocean.
The air became strangely quiet, the incense became thinner and thinner, and even Pegedo’s forehead began to ooze sweat.
“Oops!”
“Well!”
Suddenly, two different-pitched voices sounded, both full of pain. Kaman and Pegued suddenly separated and fell to the floor.
“Cough…”
The young crow wizard’s painful gasp, accompanied by a dry cough, when he opened his eyes to see everything around him, he immediately seemed to be a deflated ball and collapsed helplessly.
Pegdor endured soreness around his body, struggling to get up from the ground, came to Kaman’s side, and pulled off his collar.
“His~~~”
Taking a breath, he saw horrible scars, dark irregular spots extending from the neck to the armpits, which reminded him of the terrible big mouth. If Hananli were all these things, he would rather spend his life. Witchcraft is no longer used.
This time really escaped from death, even Pei Geduo felt that Hanan was not normal recently.
But the main reason was the young wizard who was lying on the ground. His recklessness almost buried himself, just like himself before.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Peguedo.”
Kaman’s voice was very weak, and his eyes were full of guilt and remorse, and regret.
“Let Ms. Yekaterina treat it for you.”
Peiguo had no intention of blaming him, in fact, there were his reasons for this.
A few days ago, he once asked Kaman to study the prophecy he saw. When he was immersed in joy, he did not notice the curiosity and envy hidden in the eyes of young people. Now it seems that Kaman is not just trying to be a simple Researcher, he also hopes to get his own prediction.
“The tide of Hanan has recently become turbulent and we must be more cautious.”
soft voice sounded, the two turned their eyes to the door, a slender figure bathed in sunlight, so holy.
“I……”
The young wizard struggled to get up, but the pain of the torn tendon made him fall again immediately.
“What are you doing, Kaman, now you are in such a tense situation, you still cause trouble for everyone.”
came to be not Ekaterina, other wizards also came, and Cateril still showed his poisonous tongue characteristics, and his mockery flushed like a whip.
“Close your stinky mouth, otherwise I will throw you out.”
Another taller Wolverine wizard held Cattle’s shoulder. He was the senior of this guy and his mentor, and he was fully qualified to teach him.
“Originally…”
Under the eyes of many angers, Cartel could only shrink back.
Sorcer deer inspected the wound and was very surprised. This was not what ordinary hunters could cause. She looked at Pei Gedu on the side, but the other person shook her head, and she immediately smiled with understanding.
All this was seen by the wizard present.
The matter soon ended. Kaman, who had been treated, was taken back to his room for cultivation. Other wizards dispersed. Although Ekaterina invited Pegedo to have afternoon tea, he had just experienced the edge of life and death. For the time being, there was no such interest, and politely rejected the other party.
Non-wartime wizards are still relatively free. Compared to soldiers, they do not need to participate in any training. Pegdo used to read books after meditation, but today he made an exception, and he wandered aimlessly in the fortress.
Sometimes I don’t want to think of anything, but it is a kind of rest.
On the playground, the officers are showing a variety of techniques to teach soldiers to fight closely with Ouke, and the senior management also printed a bunch of so-called “Oak combat manuals”.
If I hadn’t seen it myself, to tell the truth, Peggy would probably also think that Ok was just a bunch of stubborn flesh, without brains, and a scum that was as weak as a girl’s character, but in fact… just look at him Come, if you really go to fight the bayonet with Ok, as described above, there is a high probability that either the head is twisted or the arm is removed.
But what can he blame? Do you have to tell the soldiers that they are faced with a group of monsters that won’t die if they are hit by more than a dozen guns, and they can unload them with their fingers?
Pegdo walked along the inner wall, and came near the ruined camp that had just been built. Many young men with blank faces were reprimanded by the officers, and the whip sounded from time to time.
General Yusuf seems to have finally solved the problem, pulling all the reserve militia brigades of Aksum to the fortress, but what can these people who just put down the **** and pickaxe do? Do they know what they are facing?
Pegdor was not a hypocrite. He knew that war was like this, throwing all the hoops into the mixer, crushing the enemy and crushing himself at the same time.
How many pairs of watchful eyes will eventually be filled with tears?
The sky was stained with blood by the setting sun, and Pegdor wandered like a ghost on the empty inner wall. Most of the guards of the current fortress were concentrated on the outer line. Youssef built three delay lines within a kilometer outside the fortress. Composed of a trench, he did not want to be rushed directly under the wall by Ok, although there was no sign of a large-scale offensive yet, even the daily sneakiness completely disappeared.
Walking all the way to the station, Peggy stopped, and he saw a group of tall warriors wearing wolverine masks coming out of the station. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu.com
The empire’s rare pure melee establishment, the brave regiment, is composed of a large number of badger wizards. It was brilliant in the early Phalanx era of gunpowder weapons, but with the rapid increase of long-range firepower, such an “expensive” establishment It also appeared less and less in the Imperial Army. Because the Badger Sorcerer often serves as a low-ranking officer, the League of Heroes is also often referred to as the Officer Corps.
seemed to be aware of the observer, and the lead badger wizard raised his head.
The eyes of the two met, and they quickly separated, and then the Badger Wizards hurried away. They had about 300 people. Peggy did not know where Yusuf found so many strong wolverines.
It seems that such a sufficient defense force should be safe. Peiguo thought so, and ended a day without much gain.
As soon as he got up the next day, his door was knocked.
“what happened?”
opened the door, and found that outside the door was a terrified Yekaterina, she was like a frightened bird, trembling all over.
“what happened?”
“Kaman is dead!”
“what!?”
walked quickly to Kaman’s bedroom. The door was already filled with wizards and senior officers. Youssef was pale, and he kept talking about something, and a faint **** smell came out of the house.
Pegdor pushed away from the crowd and froze as soon as he squeezed in.
This is a scene that only appears in a nightmare. The whole room seems to be messed up by the wind. A cold body is lying on the side of the bed. A strange smile hangs on his face. The deep blood hole was replaced. On the off-white wall, the same sentence was written wildly in red and black lines, repeated thousands of times.
The beast is coming.
