Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 53: Arming
Corwen's speech interrupted Anduin Lothar's rejoicing.
This made Anduin Lothar immediately dignified, and because of the reciprocal attitude hidden in his heart, he sincerely cared about every serious word that Cowen said.
Therefore, he hurriedly walked to Kewen, looked into Kewen's eyes and asked, "What do you think!?"
"Yuexi Town is very dangerous."
Knowing that it wasn't the time to raise the bar, Kewen said seriously: "The gnolls of Dagger Mountain didn't rush to join forces, what do you think they did?"
"You mean they're going to go it alone?"
Anduin Lothar immediately grasped the point and asked in a low voice: "You think they will attack Moonbrook Town?"
Kewen nodded slowly: "My reconnaissance results show that there is not much food in the tribe over there, and going out to loot has become inevitable. Since they did not rush to join the other two large tribes, then , they must be targeting the nearby 'Yuexi Town' of the tribe."
Anduin Lothar's face was gloomy, and he immediately turned to look at the map of the 'Western Wilds' hanging on the wall.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Kewen again: "Your guess is likely to come true! So we don't have time to wait for the gnoll to act!"
Having said that, Anduin Lothar walked to the desk and instructed an entourage in the room: "Go and inform the Legion! Have a good night's rest! Start tomorrow morning! We will go to the north and take the initiative to destroy the two thousand. Multiple gnolls!"
"Yes!" The attendant responded solemnly, and quickly walked down the stairs.
"Mage!"
Anduin Lothar looked at Cowen again and said sincerely, "I want you to help me!"
"How to do it?" Kewen responded normally with a face.
"Take two hundred soldiers to Yuexi Town!"
Anduin Lothar stared at Cowen, with no arrogance in his eyes and no commanding tone in his tone.
His attitude seems to be asking for help from a friend, and his tone is both urgent and a little embarrassed.
He looked at Kewen and said: "I want to ask your team to take people to 'Yuexi Town' for defense! Set up fortifications in the direction of the town facing 'Dagger Hill'! Beware of 'Gnolls' attacking the town !”
"I will lead the rest of the soldiers to the north early tomorrow morning. I will destroy the gnolls there as soon as possible, and then rush to 'Yuexi Town' to support you!"
Cowen opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that he could destroy all the gnolls and ogres in Dagger Hill by himself, but he took it back.
After all, the relationship between them is not that in place yet, and there is no need for him to rush to show off his skills.
Therefore, Kewen turned to nod, changed his mind and asked, "What if the gnolls attacked 'Moon Creek Town' ahead of time?"
Anduin Lothar was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then please try to protect the townspeople!"
"Don't worry, Sir Jazz!"
Natanali felt that the atmosphere was too heavy, so she hurriedly interjected: "Kewen's magic is very powerful! Thousands of 'Gnolls' are not that dangerous to us!"
Kewen looked at Natanali amusingly, and he couldn't help shaking his head inwardly at this bed partner who helped him show off.
Although Natanari was kind, if Cowen really took action to destroy the gnolls easily, wouldn't that mean that Anduin Lothar and the kingdom's army were too useless.
Fortunately, Anduin Lothar just took Natanari's words as comfort and didn't take it seriously.
So he glanced at Natanali, then nodded again to Corvin: "That's it, please."
Cowen didn't respond this time, but looked at the team's spokesperson.
Garken got the prompt and immediately stepped forward, solemnly rubbing his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sir! Our team will definitely protect 'Moon Creek Town' intact!"
Anduin Lothar gave an "um", and waved his hand slightly worriedly: "You guys also go and have a good rest."
"No need."
Kewen sings the opposite: "Gnolls are also wolves. I am worried that they will act at night, so we will set off with our troops and go to 'Yuexi Town' for garrison in advance."
Anduin Lothar was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, and said as he walked up the stairs, "Thanks for the reminder! Come on, go down and assign soldiers for you!"
The four of them looked at each other and then took steps to catch up.
…
Since the route had been cleared in the afternoon, the subsequent march was not hindered in any way.
The team of four led 200 soldiers and drove for about an hour without stopping, and finally entered the 'Yuexi Town' not long after the lights were first lit.
After conveying the battle report to the sheriff in the town, the sheriff hurriedly called all the guards in the town, along with 200 soldiers, went out of the south of the town and began to deploy.
Gu Ti
Fortunately, the geographical advantage is on the side of 'Yuexi Town'.
Because the southern edge of the town is a slope, the fortifications can effectively block the charge of the 'Gnolls'.
But defending only the southern part of the town won't help, the gnolls may also go around the slopes along the coast, attacking from the western coast of the town, or from other directions.
This situation cannot be prevented, and we can only send people to conduct constant inspections.
Two hundred soldiers and the town's defenders were busy, and even the three of Galken participated.
Galken and Tagle helped build the fortifications, while Natanari took the spy's job and used her stalker skills to go out to monitor the movements of the gnoll.
Only Kewen had nothing to do. He sat on a roof in the southwest corner of the town with a wine glass, looking up at the two moons in the starry sky, forming a four-person shadow with Lady White and Blue Boy.
No one will complain about this, because everyone knows Kewen's identity as a mage, and naturally he will not let a "noble person" like a mage do dirty work.
…
This night was spent peacefully amid the tension of all the soldiers.
Perhaps it was because the gnolls hadn't finished their food storage, so they were not in a hurry to attack Yuexi Town to grab food. In the early morning, Natanali brought back information, showing that the gnolls were not gathering at all. Still a very loose look.
Seeing the tired look on Natanali's face, Kewen gently persuaded: "Don't worry too much, go and rest, just like you said, more than a thousand gnolls will not pose any danger to us. , with me."
Natanali hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to rest for a while."
"Go." Kewen reminded again: "Also, I think all the soldiers persisted for the same night. You go to their top commander and ask him to arrange for the soldiers to take turns to rest. Don't wait for the 'Gnolls' to fight. When they came up, they were not in a state to face it."
"I see!" Natanali responded and left.
Seeing this, Kewen jumped up on the roof again, and then used Transfiguration to create a small pavilion, and he simply lay down in the pavilion.
For the next day, the situation that everyone worried about did not appear.
The gnoll is still very honest.
As evening approached, an army came from afar, and Anduin Lothar brought his murderous army to join him.
"How's it going?"
Before the blood stains on the armor could be cleaned, Anduin Lothar asked Cowen and the others tiredly.
"Sir, everything is fine here."
After responding, Natanali immediately explained what she had discovered.
Anduin Lothar breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words, turned his head to glance at the soldiers who had experienced the war and was on the road, and then instructed the entourage beside him: "Let everyone repair immediately!"
"Yes!" The follower responded.
Until now, Anduin Lothar could no longer bear the stench on his body. After turning his head to look, he said to Kewen, "Do me a favor and get me out of the well over there. Some water and let me wash my body."
Cowen glanced over to the well, before waving his hand at Anduin Lothar twice at random.
The next moment, the blood stains and odor on Anduin Lothar's body disappeared instantly, and the whole body was clean and tidy.
Bowing his head in surprise, Anduin Lothar opened his arms to look at himself, and then joked in a regretful tone: "I knew it was so convenient, and I continued to learn on the path of magic when I was a child."
Galken couldn't help but wonder, "Lord Sir has also learned magic?"
Because 'Moon Creek Town' is still safe, Anduin Lothar is in a good mood, he replied after hearing the words, nodding and smiling: "Of course, when I was young, His Majesty the King, me, and The current guardian of the kingdom~IndoMTL.com~ The three of us were taught magic by one person at the same time."
"Then why..."
Galken couldn't help but continue to ask, but after seeing Natanari's wink, he realized that he was a little talkative, so Galken hurriedly suppressed the following question.
Anduin Lothar didn't care, or in other words, he didn't pay attention to the three Galken, so he looked directly at Cowen and said, "Because of learning magic, let His Majesty the King and my friend Maddie. Wen, the current guardian of the kingdom, has been in a coma for six years."
Shaking his head with a sigh, Anduin Lothar didn't know if he was explaining to Cowan: "Our teacher also lost his life trying to wake Medivh up, so since then, I've always believed that magic is not Unreliable."
"Forget it..."
Anduin Lothar chuckled: "I told you what to do with these things, I'm going to rest, and if it's safe tonight, I'll attack the gnolls in Dagger Hill tomorrow."
After speaking, Anduin Lothar glanced at Cowen again quickly, then turned and left, walking towards the city hall not far away.
It wasn't until Anduin Lothar disappeared from the building that Galken asked Cowen, "Cowen, is magic that dangerous?"
Kewen retracted his gaze and chuckled: "Ah, some magic is really dangerous. Okay, everyone go to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
When the army returned, there was no need for a team of four to keep vigil at night, so Kewen took the lead and walked to an open space, preparing to set up a 'magic tent' to rest...
