Release that Witch - Chapter 1249

[Chapter 1217 Doomsday (Part 1)]

The Kingdom of Eternal Winter, Snow Reflection Castle.

“My lord, my lord… the Greycastle army has retreated!” When a personal guard rushed into the castle hall excitedly and announced the latest news, all the nobles focused their attention on him.

“Are you sure?” Earl Marvin slapped the armrest of the seat and stood up abruptly.

“It’s absolutely true, more than one spies said so,” the guard nodded quickly, “someone saw their camp emptied overnight, and even threw away a lot of rations!”

“This group of people finally…get out!” The count couldn’t help laughing, and his mood was suddenly relieved.

A month ago, the people of Graycastle suddenly appeared in the four seaport cities of Eternal Winter, and expanded at an extremely fast speed.

They are uncompromising, accept neither surrender nor tribute, and almost wipe out the population wherever they go. This plague-like barbaric act is simply more terrible than the church-at least the latter can communicate.

And the reason of the people of Graycastle is also extremely absurd, saying that the red moon will bring disaster, and they must leave as soon as possible before that.

joke!

This piece of land was left to him by his grandfather’s grandfather, no one could easily take it away, the church was like this, and so was Graycastle!

“Your Excellency clearly understands,” an old bachelor complimented, “the so-called full moon, dark moon and red moon are just a kind of celestial phenomenon, which will appear regularly at regular intervals. They are willing to believe that this is an ominous omen. As long as your lord occupies this place, they will have nothing to do with you.”

“That’s right, the cliffs around Snow Reflection Castle are your greatest asset.”

“If the people of Graycastle are willing to negotiate, it’s not like we can’t make concessions.”

“The church was also aggressive at the beginning, but didn’t they make you a bishop in the end?”

Others echoed.

Earl Marvin’s confidence became more and more stable. He looked at the strange celestial phenomenon hanging high in the sky outside the window. His initial fear had long since disappeared, and he even felt a little appreciation.

If it weren’t for the sudden change three days ago, the people of Graycastle would have pushed the front line to the center line of the Eternal Winter Kingdom in a month or so, and Snow Reflection Castle would inevitably be affected.

Although I heard that the barbarians seldom attack the cities of the nobles, as long as they do not interfere with their actions, they will ignore them, but wantonly plundering the population is tantamount to infringing on the property of the nobles, so there is no reason to let it go.

If the other party really swept away the surrounding area of the city, wouldn’t they suffer disaster when it came to the evil moon?

Indeed, as the vassals said, the city itself was his biggest capital—it was located in the north of the capital, and was located on a cliff.

The surrounding area has sunk extremely deep, forming a natural “isolated island on land”. The widest part of the crack is several miles, and the narrowest part is more than ten feet. It can only be passed by a rope bridge.

And the area in the center of the fissure is huge enough to house several cities.

The ancestors built the lord’s castle on the “isolated island” precisely because of the ease of defense and difficulty of attack here.

Facts have also proved this point – Snow Reflection Castle has never been captured since it was built. Although the Church of Hermes swept the entire Eternal Winter in a very short period of time, they were only frustrated when they tried to attack Snow Reflection Castle. And sent envoys to negotiate with him, claiming that as long as he is loyal to the church, he can continue to rule this place.

In the earl’s view, this is what normal people do.

It was precisely because of this that he kept silent all the time, thinking of getting a good price from the other party.

But the conditions advertised by Wimbledon were simply unacceptable.

Earl Marvin was not worried about the people of Graycastle and the devils they called attacking here. There was no more reliable defense than a cliff.

But the city also needs supplies from the surrounding towns. Even if there are warehouses full of supplies under the Xueying Castle, which can last until the enemy gives up, once the population is taken away, the resources consumed will never be recovered. up.

Fortunately, they were frightened by Hongyue.

“Mr. Sack, what should I do next?” Marvin looked at the old scholar.

“Hehehe, of course he took the initiative to attack.” The latter stroked his long beard and said.

The count’s face froze immediately. Defending Snow Shadow Castle was two different things from going out to find trouble for the opponent. Without this natural danger, he wouldn’t have dared to contend with the King of Graycastle even if he had ten guts.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not talking about the people of Graycastle, but the territories that they looted – think about it, the spies’ report mentioned that the enemies are many and scattered, and a team only has about a hundred people. Such a small number of people What can you take with you?”

Marvin’s eyes lit up, “You mean…”

The old scholar smiled and nodded, “The kidnapped people will definitely leave a lot of things behind. We searched along the route of the Graycastle people, and we should be able to find something missing.”

For example, food that is extremely inconvenient to carry…

The more Marvin thought about it, the more excited he was. He summoned his chief knight, and just as he was about to give an order, another personal guard suddenly rushed into the hall, “My lord… a devil came from outside the city…”

“What devil?” The count glared at him displeased, “Even you believed the nonsense of the people from Graycastle?”

“Forgiveness, forgiveness… my lord, but it…” the guard said with a shivering voice, “but it is really not human!”

Not…human?

Everyone can’t help but look at each other.

Marvin’s heart also jumped, but as a lord, he had to be extremely calm.

“In that case, take me to see it.” The count suppressed his uneasiness and deliberately put on a straight face. “I want to see what the guy living in hell looks like.”

…

Having said that, when he walked up the city wall, he had already put on the best quality armor and the largest God’s Stone of Retaliation.

A dozen or so personal guards hugged him in front and back, and the thick standing shield erected a “shield wall” around him.

However, the moment he saw the other party, Earl Marvin couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief. This time, his subordinates were not mistaken. The so-called “devil” was indeed only one person.

The location where it stands is neither the narrowest part of the crack nor the weakest point of the city wall, but simply stands on a raised rock pillar. The bottomless ice abyss.

The patrolling knights had commanded their subordinates to set up the crossbow bed, and the wounded crossbow arrows were directed at the target.

After looking carefully for a while, Ma Weien found that the other party was indeed not human. Although it also had hands and feet, it was much taller than ordinary people. At the same time, its skin was blue. Meridians and blood vessels.

The most obvious difference is the tentacles of different lengths growing on its cheeks, jaws, and elbows—those earthworm-like disgusting things wriggling slowly, making people feel hairy just looking at them.

What puzzled him was that the devil was closing his eyes at this moment, as if he was asleep, completely unable to feel the aura of threat.

Is this monster really attracted by Red Moon?

No…that’s just a saying used by the people of Graycastle to scare the ignorant villagers, the count thought to himself, no matter how it came from, it has nothing to do with the rumored doomsday, on the contrary, as long as he ordered his men to pull the crowbar, this guy would Being shot by a crossbow arrow makes my heart feel cold.

Thinking of this, Marvin took a deep breath and shouted loudly, “Listen up, ugly and dirty monster! I am the lord of Snow Shadow Castle, Marvin Kaso! You have violated my territory. If you want to survive, kneel down Surrendering to me is your only choice, otherwise the abyss of ice under your feet will be your burial place!”

He didn’t think that the other party could understand what he said. These righteous statements were not so much a warning to the devil, but rather a show of the bravery and fearlessness of a lord to his subordinates on the city wall.

Since the people of Graycastle think that this is a demon from hell, if he can scare away or kill one, his reputation will definitely be greatly improved.

“I don’t have the patience to wait too long, now I will give you the last five breaths to make a choice-five, four!”

While speaking, Marvin gestured to the knight to prepare to shoot.

“three……”

The devil suddenly opened his eyes and shouted—”Enough!”

Its voice rolled over the sky of Snow Reflection Castle like thunder, shaking the ice edges under the wall to fall one after another, and its violent shout echoed from the top of the mountains.

For a moment, Ma Weien only felt as if the earth was shaking, and his ears were buzzing.

He was so startled that he subconsciously took two steps back and sat down on the ground.
