Chapter 114: The Night of Death
After listening to Master Roman's explanation, Shaoke could only sigh that they had better luck, otherwise why would the female mage use mental power to detect it at that time?
When the mages were only one day away from the fortress, Master Roman discovered the enemy's traces through magic props again. "Master Snow Night, I hope we can return to the fortress smoothly." The female mage looked at the red dot mark on the magic props and sighed inwardly. She really didn't know if she could successfully complete the last day's journey.
After carefully looking at the props in the hands of Master Roman, Shaoke found that there were dense red dots gathered under the entire fortress, and each red dot represents the existence of at least one third-level mage. The red dots gathered in front of the fortress kept rushing towards Shaoke and the others, and the red dots disappeared from time to time along the way.
"Master Roman, what's going on?" Shaoke asked in confusion. He didn't expect that the military headquarters in the fortress would send so many mages out, and from this magic prop, the fortress was also covered with red dots representing third-level mages. Of course, no matter how far apart the prop is, it cannot be seen.
"I don't know, we can only passively accept the news sent by the military headquarters, and we can't ask them through this prop." The mage Roman replied in a helpless tone, "This kind of scene makes me a little familiar." After saying that, he frowned and recalled his previous memories.
With the uncertain future and exhausted body dragging down, the mages gradually slowed down their pace of progress. After seeing the situation shown on the magic prop, Shaoke thought he didn't want to return to the fortress. He knew that even after they broke through the last distance of the other party's blockade and returned to the fortress, the military headquarters would still send them to this battlefield.
"Night of Death!" The Roman Mage, who was holding Shaoko's arm, suddenly came back to her senses from her memories. She suddenly remembered what happened the night when the Desas Empire first attacked them. "Master Snow Night, do you still remember the time when they first attacked us, a famous warrior called this name!"
"Night of Death"? Shaoke suddenly remembered the out-of-compliance warrior. He still remembered that the other party was scolded by another warrior, and then after fleeing separately, he never saw the warrior again. "Is the enemy's behavior of breaking the rules this time called "Night of Death"?" Shaoke asked the mage Roman in confusion.
"Yes." After Master Roman reached out to warm up, he grabbed Shaoke's hand. "I remember when I was promoted to a third-level mage and returned to the Blizzard Legion, some of the mages there mentioned this name, but I didn't care at all at that time, so I don't know why it was called."
"It should be the secret between those high-level mages!" Shaoke muttered helplessly. He was quite dissatisfied with the military headquarters' approach, but he had to accept this approach. This made him feel very sad and helpless sometimes.
"Don't worry! Master Xueye, I feel that you will be promoted to a third-level mage soon. I remember that after I suddenly started independent mental detection, I was successfully promoted not long after." The female mage shook Shaoke's hand vigorously and comforted: "Master Xueye, after you become a third-level mage, you won't complain like this."
"But, Master Roman." Shaoke suddenly raised his voice and said to Master Roman excitedly: "Why has the military headquarters not given us any news yet? I don't believe that after giving us some information, they still did not give us new news for so long."
Master Roman frowned. She actually got a message from the military when she was sleeping last night, but after looking at the content, she did not want to tell Shaoko the news. Therefore, she chose to hide it.
"Master, Xue Ye! I think you should understand that we must temporarily give up the various information provided by the military headquarters. If you want to return to the fortress alive." Master Roman also raised his voice. She did not want his companions to suspect her, so she briefly said the news that had been hiding for a day.
It turned out that the military headquarters gave the mages who were still staying outside the fortress: continue to fight with those enemies outside, and at the same time, the other party would give up the siege of lurkers, warriors, god archers and other professions, and use the mage team to hunt each other on the mountains on both sides.
After hearing the news, Shaoke turned his head with an ugly face and looked at the mountains behind him that had been running for several days. He felt very uncomfortable. He was not disgusted with the military headquarters making such arrangements, but he was dissatisfied with the military headquarters not explaining the reason for the sudden attack of the enemy first, so he sent them to fight with the other party again.
"You are first a mage." Mage Roman suddenly pulled Shaoko and accelerated his pace, "and then a soldier. Think about your original intention of joining the army."
After hearing the female mage Roman, Shaoke knew that the other party mistakenly thought he was afraid of fighting again, so he quickly explained: "I am just angry that the Military Affairs Department did not give an explanation for the destruction of this rule. Could it be that we would fight with the enemy again with this question?" Then he paused and said in a low voice: "I want the mages who died in this battle to still want to know why the rules that have been persisted for a long time are so suddenly destroyed."
After hearing Shaoke's explanation, the mage Roman relaxed his tense little face slightly. She was very ashamed of her misunderstanding just now. "I'm sorry, Master Xueye, I shouldn't think so." Then she stopped Shaoke's modesty and continued: "We must go back to the fortress, and the other mages are doing the same. They are more eager to learn the reason for this change than we do."
After hearing Master Roman's decision, Shaoko looked at the other party gratefully. He knew that after returning to the fortress successfully, the military headquarters would still punish her for this decision made by Master Roman.
The two mages stumbled and finally met the mage team that came from the fortress after dark. After releasing the "identification spell" within the military headquarters, they successfully met.
The two mages' embarrassing appearance quickly attracted the sympathy of the third-level mage and the second-level members. The third-level male mage quickly put a thick animal skin on the two and invited them to a small tent where the firewood was lit.
The two mages tore off the crispy bread regardless of their image and ate it in a hurry with a little wine. After all, for the mages who could only rely on some dry and hard bread crumbs and snow to supplement their physical energy for two consecutive days, they were already hungry and relied on picking some nuts under the snow to maintain it. This time, the third-level mage gave them enough soft bread, which made the two very excited. Especially Master Roman, she shook it gently with a silver goblet, and then sighed and drank it in a low voice.
The third-level mage tactfully left the two mages who were trying hard to stuff food into his mouth, and waited patiently outside. The second-level mages surrounding him were also sent to their respective tents and positions by him. This was the result of his promise to tell these second-level mages he received.
The female mage quickly took a few bites and returned to her former elegance. Shaoke also hurriedly added some food to relieve the hunger and slowed down her eating speed.
When the two finished eating, the third-level male mage who was waiting outside walked in. "Two mages, can you tell me in detail about what happened this time? After the other mages learned about this bad news, they were very worried about you."
Master Roman put down the wine glass, put the white hair stained with mud and frowned, and briefly told the story about this incident. After hearing Master Roman's account, the third-level male mage turned ugly. "Did the military headquarters not remind you in time at that time?"
Shaoke smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's a bit late for such a sudden incident. So we are so embarrassed this time..."
The third-level mage shook his head, and after receiving the inquiry from Master Roman, he briefly told them about the things in the fortress.
It turned out that the mages who were performing missions in Shaoke and others had just left, and suddenly many third-level mages returned to the fortress, and a large number of third-level warriors appeared. The battle on the city wall became more intense, and the constant fighting between ordinary soldiers lasted for two days and three nights. A large number of first-level warriors joined in.
"We shouldn't have performed this mission." After listening to the mage's story, Shaoke suddenly felt like an abandoned pawn.
The mage Roman gently rubbed his forehead and said, "Is there any water? Although robes and other things do not need to be cleaned, there is no magical text on my hair yet!"
The third-level mage shrugged, "I asked those mages to prepare hot water, um! It's enough for you two." After saying that, he saw that the other party wanted him to leave, he stood up and went outside to urge the mages to prepare hot water for Shaoke and the others.
The silence between Shaoko and Romama continued until the third-level mage and a second-level mage came with enough hot water before it was broken.
The third-level mage waved his hand and let the excited second-level mage retreat, and turned to Master Roman and asked in a low voice: "All the other mages have been killed by the other party?"
"No." Mage Roman knew that the other party was asking her about the current situation of the other mages in this team. "At that time, during a night attack by the enemy, the people we had finally gathered together were dispersed again, hoping that they would come safely."
"That's good. As long as they don't die on the spot, they have hope of coming back again." The third-level mage muttered in a low voice. He actually knew that these second-level mages who left the protection of the third-level mages would definitely die in the pursuit of the enemy unless they were particularly lucky.
"How many second-level mages have you met today?" Master Roman asked suddenly in silence for a while.
"One." The third-level male mage added a piece of firewood to conceal his discomfort. "Maybe they were met by other teams, after all, my position is a bit remote."
......Aifa, Qiqi's home has a power outage again.
