Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Frank sat on the floor panting heavily, his feet ached like hell, and his arm was sore as if it had been broken.But that man—Norman, was still standing there leisurely, pointing his sword at him: "Stand up."

Gritting his teeth, Frank grabbed his sword, used it as a crutch to strike the floor, and stood up.Then he took a deep breath, raised his sword, and resumed his attacking stance.

"Very well, then we'll stop here today." But to his surprise, when he got ready for the pose, Norman let him go instead.

Frank looked at the straight back with an expression of "You're kidding me", but fatigue really made him unable to support it for too long, so he lowered his arms and sat back on the floor again.After a while, Norman came back, holding the medicated oil in his hand as usual. Frank threw the sword aside, relaxed his limbs, and let Norman take off his sweat-soaked clothes. Massage the muscles with medicated oil.The soothing aroma of the medicated oil masked the smell of his own sweat, and Farak closed his eyes.Norman thought he was asleep, and after massaging him, he gently laid Frank's body flat and covered him with a warm blanket.

But Frank didn't fall asleep. He knew that Norman didn't leave after covering himself with a blanket, but was waiting at the door. That was his duty: an educator and a watcher.The question he asked when he first met this man, the other party gave him the answer: "I don't, and I don't know who it is."

It was a play on words, Frank knew, because all that didn't and didn't know was "I."But Frank didn't ask any more, why bother?He just needs to know the answer.

His mother was beautiful and charming, a man's mother was indispensable.His deepest memory of his childhood is that when he fell ill with a fever, that woman was having fun on the bed with a strange man as far as he could see.At that time, he didn't understand what those physical entanglements meant, he just felt terrible, but even if he closed his eyes, his mother's sweet moans and profligate teasing kept rushing into his ears.He still often dreams about the scenes at that time, even the images of his mother and the man have become blurred, and the area around him is just colorful patches, but those voices are still so clearly visible.

That wasn't a spring dream. After waking up from the dream, he wouldn't have any teenage reaction, but would just run to vomit with nausea.

His mother never once exchanged money for herself, she always proudly declared that it was not a betrayal, it was just her pleasure, she was not in anyone's eyes, and she didn't care how anyone looked at her son, even her son looked at him her eyes.Frank loathed her, even hated her. He had cursed her death, but seeing the hut burning into a huge torch with his own eyes, he did not feel relaxed or happy at all.Even though that woman was an unqualified mother, she at least raised him.And the person who did these things, Frank added an extremely strange word to the murderer-"father".

"What on earth do you want me to do?" Frank opened his eyes, killed his mother and kept him, and not only was he treated well, but even seven or eight teachers took turns teaching him.Compared with other countries, Mangtan's education is a miracle, but the inequality of birth always exists.Apparently it wasn't that his father was dead, or that his brother wanted his life for inheritance, and Frank thought it was probably that his father or brother needed a substitute, or a scapegoat, just like in some fairy tales, The prince didn't want to marry an ugly girl, so he asked his servant to replace her, "I think you should give me an answer. No matter what it is, give me a little time to prepare, it's good for everyone."

"..." Norman was silent for a while, "I want you... to be the king."

"Are you kidding?!" Frank lifted the blanket and sat up.

Zhou Lingke has been sleeping very badly these days, not that he can't sleep, he fell asleep, but he had too many dreams, he woke up in sweat again and again, but looking at the dark room, he wanted to I can't remember what dream I had.It's just that there is a hazy impression as light as smoke, and those dreams are colorful and bizarre.But he also knew that he was getting better and adapting, at least yesterday he woke up less often than the day before yesterday.

The battle is becoming more and more intense, but there are fewer magical confrontations like the previous two days, because both sides know that this will be a relatively long-lasting offensive and defensive battle, and they must preserve their own strength.

Standing at the command post and looking out every day, the sense of fear caused by fighting, death, and explosions is also fading—it just fades, it doesn’t disappear, and it won’t disappear.Zhou Lingke told himself in his heart that he needs to be in awe of these.However, he gradually had the energy to discover some other things. The biggest discovery was that no matter the attacker or defender, there were no catapults, no heavy crossbows, let alone artillery.They don't even have crossbows and arrows, only bows and arrows, but they have long-range bows and arrows. Special runes are engraved on the bows, and alchemy materials are also used on the arrows.

Zhou Lingke does not know how to make these instruments, but as long as he puts forward an opinion and a direction, the craftsmen here will definitely be able to produce excellent finished products.But he didn't put forward his opinion just because his head was hotheaded. His limelight is already big enough. At the same time, these instruments will very likely shake the current status of the magician.Those bombarded magic fields are spectacular and powerful, but magic must be performed by magicians, and those equipment operators only need ordinary people.

This will definitely have an impact on the existence of magicians, and even the civilization here. After all, the development of science and technology starts with the military.At that time, he will open a door that is very different from magic civilization, and will bring inspiration to many ordinary people. Maybe people will live better, but it may also be... Zhou Lingke does not have that much courage. We'll discuss this matter when we meet.

The ground under his feet trembled, and Zhou Lingke, who was in a trance, swayed for a while, and just in time supported the table on one side so that he didn't fall on his face.He looked in the direction of the battlefield, and saw a large black mass of plasticine-like objects floating in mid-air and gradually taking shape.

"What is that?!" His question blurted out.

"The stone giant, Vader's summoned war beast." The commander in the command room and Captain Salem on the city wall were explaining to the two passers-by almost at the same time - Shane's team returned to the city wall again today. on defense.

"The one with the brown-yellow flag?" Sean, who could see more clearly, remembered that the logo on one of the flags was a brown-yellow ground with an iron-gray stone giant.

"Correct."

"But we also have war beasts." A strange soldier with a scar on his face interjected after hearing the conversation between the two of them.

"Our beheading should not happen so early." Sai Lun shook his head, "The opponent is the coalition forces of more than a dozen countries, most of which are Qika's vassal states. They dare not preserve their strength so obviously. What we have to face will be I don’t know a war beast, so our war beast won’t appear so early.”

What Sai Lun said was true, but it was so heavy that it made people suffocate.If the country is weak, it will be beaten, and if the country is weak, it will be necessary to spend as much money as possible.

"But we have withstood it, and we will definitely be able to do so!" The scarred soldier smiled and said passionately.

Looking at them, Xia En inexplicably remembered his real motherland.But now is not the time to feel it, the huge stone giant has been "finished". When it was first formed, it was still brown and black, like it was made of clay, it looked a little loose and soft, but a layer of yellow light shone on it. After the flash, the brown-black color turned into gray, and the body lines from head to toe became sharp and angular, truly becoming a stone giant...

Ants gnawing on elephants still eat from the soft parts of the nose and mouth, but there is a movable mountain in front of them, and Zhou Lingke and most ordinary people around him have no explosives, only swords.If there were no other people around, Xia En would have turned around and fled.

"Boom!" The stone giant moved, and Xia En felt as if he was thrown from the ground.The stone giant's speed was very slow, but it was absolutely powerful and heavy. "Boom—boom—" it continued to move towards the city wall, but the magicians behind them didn't make any movements. It was only 100 meters away from the city wall. It's too much rice.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?!" Xia En didn't need to speak, there were already similarly flustered soldiers asking their companions. Even if they were all veterans, not all of them had experienced wars with war beasts.

"Boom!" There was another loud noise. Along with the trembling of the ground, Xia En's hands also trembled. He really didn't want to be crushed to death.

At this time, Mangtan's magicians finally made a move.A green ball of light that was bigger than all the previous magic balls shot out from a certain tower behind them. The opponent's magician didn't even raise a barrier to protect it. It was the same as when the soldiers attacked the city, and it was beyond the range of the magician's spellcasting.Xia En figured out why Mangtan's mages did not act until now. Even though the coalition forces may not be so cohesive, no matter the number of mages or their strength, Mangtan's country still cannot fight against the coalition forces. They can only choose to save as much as possible. Fight in a dangerous way.

The green ball touched the stone giant's body, but the fierce collision that the soldiers were holding their weapons tightly and looking forward to did not happen. There was only an extremely dazzling green light, which made everyone who was staring at it close their eyes. , when they opened their eyes again, countless vines had already wrapped the stone giant tightly.

Sean heard two or three cheers, but even he knew that his companions were too happy.Sure enough, after only two seconds of calm, the stone giant struggled, and countless people were tensed and rubbed against the stone giant's body, making toothache sounds.The stone giant's hand broke free!Then it grabbed those vines and pulled them off!With a low body in a hurry, Xia En avoided the large pieces of flying vine wreckage. They looked like ordinary ropes on the stone giant's body, but in fact the thinnest ones were as thick as a human's waist. They were huge The large chunks of the crash injured many soldiers on both sides who hadn't had time to react.

The vine was pulled off, but it was still growing, but this couldn't stop the Stone Giant from walking, it was still struggling and moving forward.

There was a stench in the air, which was somewhat familiar, but Xia En didn't have time to distract his attention to think about what the stench was.He looked at the stone giant who was getting closer and closer, even though sweat dripped into his eyes, he didn't dare to blink.

"!" The stone giant tilted slightly, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but its speed seemed to be a little slow?Xia En looked at the stone giant's legs. He thought that the vines were wrapped around its legs, but he found that one of its feet had sunk into the mud at some point. No, it was in a swamp.Xia En suddenly realized what the stench was, it was the smell of swamp gas!

"When was that?"

"The magic trap set up before the battle should have been activated by the magician in advance, but it was used to deal with people, to deal with giant beasts..." Scarface's explanation suddenly made Xia En's joy drop, and it was used to deal with people. Yes, the deepest is three meters, so what part of the stone giant will be submerged?Will it pass the waist?It will still struggle.

One long and one short horn sounded, which was an attack. Without looking at the command flag, Xia En also knew that it was the opponent's horn sound.The magic ball began to bombard, and the shield rose at the same time, just like the offense and defense Shane had experienced before.

"Sharp Archer! Sharp Archer!" The orderly ran across the city wall, shouting as he ran.Needless to say, this is to put the sharp archer in place, but Xia En is a bit strange, why is it only the sharp archer?

Scarface stood up, and only then did Xia En notice the distinctive big bow on his back. The length of the bow was 1.5 meters or even longer, and strange runes were engraved on it. It was not obvious because it was daytime, but At this distance, it is not difficult to find the shimmering light on the public.Another warrior also ran over, but what he was carrying on his back was a long wooden box. When he opened it, there were arrows at least one meter long. The arrowheads of these arrows were also engraved with runes and shone with luster. It's just that different arrows shine differently.

"Sharp Archer! Sharp Archer!" Another orderly came running from another direction, quickly shouting and running over this section of the city wall.

With a scarred face bowing his bow and nodding his arrow, Xia En found that his face was still full of doubts at first, but soon it was proud and surprised.Almost at the same time, golden arrows flew out of several sections of the city wall!Sean's eyes chased those arrows, and when he saw one hit the ground, the people around him panicked and wanted to help him or run away, but the person's body exploded suddenly, and more people died in different magical lights .However, even if a single arrow can take the lives of more than a dozen soldiers, for such an extraordinary arrow, if it is used in this way, is it still a bit... The input and output are not proportional?

Of course, life is priceless, but in this world, this place, these people, Xia En doesn't think they will be so lavish (these thoughts are not derogatory).
