Chapter 830 Meeting with the Leatherman Witch Council

It’s just that the reaction of those Leathermen is very different from that of ordinary people.

“Hahaha… They actually moved the boat to the land, and people pulled the boat around the world. This is the first time we have seen this situation, hahaha…”

“These so-called civilized people are really hard to understand. They carry a heavy turtle shell on their backs, and they are still not at ease. They even build a bigger cage for themselves and drag it around the world.”

“And that road is simply the greatest blasphemy against nature. Aren’t the druids and rangers in the Giant Valley also the guardians of nature? How can such a ridiculous situation be allowed to occur?”

“If they walk on such a road every day, I’m afraid it won’t take long before they will be degraded and can’t walk on the mountain road.”

“Don’t use our Leathermen customs to measure others. Even many native Leathermen, They may not adapt to our way of life. Once they leave, they will never come back, let alone those who advocate the development of civilization. "

"Bah... they are just a group of incompetent cowards. Don't make excuses for their escape. People like them will sooner or later be expelled from our tribe and our kingdom. They don't deserve to be called Leathermen."

"It is understandable that they carry so many vehicles. Don't you find that even with such a smooth road, their progress is still very slow? This shows that they are not coming empty-handed, but full of goods. I heard that the young commander from the opposite side of the Falling Star Sea brought thousands of tons of food and countless military supplies to support us. "

"We Leathermen are not afraid of any difficulties and challenges. We will never take them on our own. With gifts from others, we will fight all difficulties with our hands and firm will. "

"If it is normal, I absolutely agree with your opinion, but we are now in wartime, and some views must be changed. If all the fearless cannot fill their stomachs, how can they charge our enemies? And our children, they have not grown up yet, and their ability to resist cold and hunger is still poor. "

"This is the biggest test for them. Only by overcoming the test can they be truly fearless. Only those who can withstand cold and hunger are the strongest and can become true Leathermen. "

"Stupid! I think your brain is also filled with muscles! We Leathermen are just using cold and suffering to sharpen our will, instead of blindly "Your practice is completely extreme and paranoid."

"This is the source of my strength, which makes me stronger than all of you. In order to make us Leathermen purer, we will never accept any supplies from outsiders, nor will we fight side by side with them, so that their turtle shells will be far away from us."

"Whether to accept their supplies is decided by the witches, not by you."

"Even if the witches accept the food, I personally will never eat a grain."

"Stupid!"

Most of the Leathermen were not excited about the arrival of the chariot corps, but watched coldly, and some even laughed loudly, especially the shirtless Leathermen berserkers with dark tendons.

Faced with this reaction, only the chariot captains from the valley felt strange, but the locals from the giant valley were not surprised.

The Leathermen advocate a relatively primitive life and are full of contempt for the so-called civilized lifestyle outside. They believe that it is a symbol of degeneration, which will corrode their souls and bodies, and make them indulge in food and warmth without making progress.

Because many of them have seen with their own eyes that those fearless people who once made them admire and envy, because of the temptation of civilized people, fell into an abyss of no return, and completely deviated from the path of berserkers that they originally admired. Many people even lost their violent ability and became cowards who did not even have the courage to go to the battlefield.

As for the Leathermen that Gavin had contacted outside the city of Usmer before, they were the kind of people who had more frequent contact with the outside world and more open-minded, otherwise they would not have run so far.

In fact, their behavior was undoubtedly cowardly in the eyes of traditional Leathermen.

Therefore, the chariot corps did not rashly approach the Leathermen army, but stationed in a huge circular formation two kilometers away from them with the tower-type chariots connected head to tail.

This behavior inevitably attracted the sneers and ridicule of the onlookers, who called it a turtle formation.

Accompanied by the witch Akabane, Gavin left the chariot corps and went to meet the ruling class of the Kingdom of Leatherman. They did not use teleportation, but flying.

Gavin could clearly feel that the area around Lake Asen, 50 kilometers around, was shrouded by a powerful magic ban. Other restrictions were not clear for the time being, but one thing was certain, the use of teleportation was prohibited.

If nothing unexpected happened, the entire Kingdom of Leatherman should be in this situation.

This magic ban was not prepared for the Tukan people, but for their old enemy, the Kingdom of Sel, to prevent those evil red-robed wizards from using teleportation spells to infiltrate and harass their kingdom.

In this magic ban, Gavin felt a strong totem atmosphere, which should be related to the totem closely related to the Leatherman people.

Gavin did not ask rashly, because this involved the foundation of a country, and it would only cause embarrassment in the end.

"Lord Akabane, where are we going?" Gavin asked in confusion.

Because the direction they are heading now is not towards the Leatherman army camp, but towards Lake Asen.

The Red Feather Witch transformed into a giant red bird shaped like a phoenix, and answered while flying: "Most of my sisters have gathered at the edge of Lake Asen. The weather has been cold recently, and the water temperature of Lake Asen has continued to drop across the board, showing signs of freezing.

The Tukan people on the opposite side have already taken action. With the secret help of those red-robed wizards, they are trying to manipulate the weather, further lower the surrounding temperature, and accelerate the freezing of Lake Asen. My sisters are fighting against them."

"I see. I didn't expect that this war has been going on, but in a way that is unknown to ordinary people." Gavin couldn't help but sigh, "You Leatherman are the benefactors of all of us in Faerun. If you hadn't spared no effort to contain these butchers in Lake Asen, I'm afraid that the entire continent of Faerun would have been a river of blood."

"We are not as noble as you think. We do this purely to prevent our own kingdom from being destroyed and to prevent the conspiracy of those evil red-robed wizards from succeeding." When talking about the war, the Red Feather Witch always involuntarily brought the red-robed wizards of Sel.

In her eyes, the threat posed by those red-robed bald men to the Kingdom of Leatherman is far greater than that posed by the mighty Tukan army.

The number of Tukan people is large, but they are mainly ordinary people, and their war mode mainly remains at the mundane level. The only difference is that Yamen Khan and the group of red-robed lamas he leads all have the power of killing.

In a head-on conflict, this kind of power does have a huge advantage, especially in large-scale wars.

However, in terms of plasticity, this kind of power is much worse. For example, when facing a natural barrier like Lake Asen, the help it can provide is minimal, and it is far less useful than those low-level ice magic.

If there were no red-robed wizards from Sel, just a line of defense at Lake Asen would be enough to make those Tukan people return in defeat.

"These two things are not contradictory." Gavin complimented, "The knowledgeable people of Furen will never dare to forget this."

"We, the Leathermen, should remember the help from the commander from afar, so that we know that we are not fighting alone." The Red Feather Witch was also generous with her praise.

In the mutual compliments, the two soon arrived at the shore of Lake Asen.

People who don't know, when they see Lake Asen for the first time, it is easy to mistake it for reaching the seaside. The blue lake is endless and the vastness is incredible.

Unlike the ocean, the shore here is not a bare beach, but full of withered weeds and water plants.

A special battle is taking place here.

It is cloudless here for a while, and the sun is in the sky.

It is covered with dark clouds again, and the biting cold wind blows from the direction of the endless wilderness.

There are huge waves on the lake, and whirlpools are rolling constantly.

After a while, huge red portals appeared directly in the deep water, and fire elements were summoned in the water. These poor fire elements struggled frantically in the water, but they could not escape the fate of being drowned alive. Soon the flames on their bodies were completely extinguished.

However, the high temperature brought by their bodies before they were extinguished was enough to boil the surrounding waters, and huge boiling bubbles surged out from under the water.

Such a situation is not just one or two, but hundreds and thousands. When they are connected together, the scene is quite amazing.

There is only one purpose for this war, to fight for the right to freeze Lake Asen.

The Leatherman Kingdom tried its best to delay the arrival of the freezing period of Lake Asen.

The Tukan people wanted to make this huge lake freeze as soon as possible.

"When did Lake Asen usually freeze on a large scale in previous years?" Gavin asked.

For such a vast water area like Lake Asen, it is impossible to freeze it on a large scale at a temperature of only minus ten degrees.

The vast water area allows them to store huge energy, and it is very difficult to lower the overall temperature.

The undercurrent in the water will continuously bring the water with higher temperature at the bottom to the surface, and press down the water with too low temperature on the surface.

"In ten days at the fastest and one month at the slowest, a cold current will arrive from the endless wilderness, which will keep the temperature below minus 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night will become smaller. Within three days, it will freeze on a large scale. It will take three months for it to melt. The thickness of the ice layer is enough for tens of thousands of wild horses to gallop over it.

At that time, the role of magic will be greatly weakened.

Once Lake Asen is frozen, we will not only lose our natural barrier, but also a powerful army. The spirits and creatures in the lake will no longer be able to provide us with assistance." The Red Feather Witch made no secret of the situation she was about to face.

Even magic is not omnipotent, especially in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

This refers to ordinary magic. Some ritual legendary magic that costs a terrible price may even have the ability to subvert the laws of nature.

Legend has it that Marvin, the great arcanist of the Netheril Empire, developed a high-level legendary spell called Marvin World Weaving, which can re-weave the natural laws of the selected area. It is said that it has the terrifying ability to change winter to summer, spring to autumn, and even change the latitude attributes of the entire area, such as changing the temperate zone to the subtropical or tropical zone.

It is just a pity that this spell was lost with the fall of the Netheril Empire.

Only in the various materials left by the arcane empire can we see the description of this magical magic.

"That's enough. In ten days at the earliest, the Faerun coalition led by King Asan will land in Tevram. By then, you will no longer be fighting alone. Even if they break through the Asen Lake defense line, we will still have a chance. Gavin is very clear about the overall context of this war, "If the Tukan people really want to attack through the ice, I have prepared a huge surprise for them, which is guaranteed to make them miserable, but this case This matter requires your cooperation from Asen Lake.”

Although he knew the development of the matter, it did not mean that Gavin did not act and let the Tukan people cross the lake in vain.

Making full use of the resources at hand to cause damage to them is the way to go.

"What surprise? Commander, how do you need our cooperation?" Gavin was not answered by Akabane, but by another Leatherman witch with a similar voice but with a slightly moist feeling.

At some point, Gavin was surrounded by witches.

There were five Leatherman witches and Akabane witches standing around him. They were exactly the same in height and clothing. The only difference was the witch masks they wore. The feathers on them had obvious personal characteristics. On the Akabane witch mask, Her feathers are red. This should be the origin of her name. No, it should be said to be her code name.

Akabane is just the name she used when she was a witch, not her real name.

This situation occurs not because there are height and body requirements for the selection of Leatherman witches, but because they all have disguises on their bodies, making it difficult for people to identify their true identities from this aspect.

Wearing a mask makes it impossible to tell the other person's true identity. Only in TV dramas, body shape, height, walking style, and personal movement habits can reveal a person's identity.

The Leatherman witches in front of them have obviously been specially trained in this field, and even their words and deeds are very similar.

Except for the Akabane Witch, the remaining four were all wrapped with terrifying magic power. This was a sign of the use of the circular magic circle. They had obviously just withdrawn from the front line of Assen Lake.

"My tactics must be highly confidential. Once leaked and known by the enemy, the lethality will be greatly reduced." Gavin's eyes couldn't help but scanned the five Leatherman witches who were very similar. When I can't see them, I really can't give them too much trust.

There was a trace of smile that could not be concealed in Witch Akabane's words: "There are nine members of the Harlans Witch Council, and the five in front of you are among them. All major affairs of the Leatherman Kingdom are jointly studied and decided by our sisters. , if there was a traitor among us, the Tukan people would have attacked us long ago and would not wait until Lake Asen freezes.

As for our disguised identity, Commander, there is no need to worry about whether someone will impersonate us.

We have our own way of identification, which cannot be used by non-Harlans witches. It has been used for thousands of years and there have been no problems so far. "

The Harlans Witch is the self-proclaimed name of the Leatherman Witch. In Leatherman language, it means the learned sister. The ordinary Leatherman Witch is called Bryce Rotten, which is the novice sister, and the extraordinary Leatherman Witch. Known as Othro, which means loyal, only the legendary Leatherman witches are given the name Harlanth.

"I was overthinking. This is the key to my plan." Gavin apologized directly with practical actions. He took out five red stone balls from the portable dimensional hole and handed them to the five Harlans witches.

"What a rich and concentrated fire element! Once this thing is released, the power it explodes will be far superior to the top fireball technique."

"I felt the smell of dragon's breath on it. Yes, it must be the red dragon's breath. There is a red dragon's breath sealed in it, at least in the juvenile stage."

"Why does this thing look so familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere!"

"Its shape and the kobold's flutter bomb are basically printed from the same mold. It's normal for them to look familiar."

"Using kobold flutter bombs to seal the dragon's breath. This is really a genius design. Not only do you dare to think, but you also dare to do it. It is the greatest luck that those dragons did not devour anyone who dared to do so."

"How many of these dragon's breath bombs do you have in your hand? No need to have more. As long as there are a few thousand, we can formulate tactics based on this. From under the ice, we can blast the enemy's densely populated areas. As long as they fall into the water, the cold The water in the lake will kill them."

These Harlans witches are worthy of being the most top-notch beings. These Dragon Breath Flutter Bombs were just a one-shot. They not only deduced the origin and general production method of this thing, but also deduced the tactics Gavin wanted to use based on it.

"Your Excellencies, your guess is very correct. This kind of bomb is called the Dragon Breath Flutter Bomb, and what is sealed inside is indeed dragon's breath. The Red Dragon Breath Flutter Bomb currently only has more than a thousand in stock, but the Black Dragon Breath Flutter Bomb, I can extract at least five thousand of them. In the water, their power is inferior to that of the Red Dragon Breath Flutter Bomb, but it should be enough for blasting the ice. "

Gavin rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Originally, I should have provided these supplies free of charge, but this kind of bomb has a high production cost. I am just starting out, and I can't afford it..."

"Understood." The red feather witch who is most familiar with Gavin said empathetically, "I wonder how much they cost?"
