"Blister, apart from here, there is no entrance to the third branch of the mine, right?"
Looking at Joey who was in shock, Blister shook his head in fear.
"Sir, this is the only exit from the third mine tunnel."
Nodding, Lester looked at the two mages.
"Can you two use magic to completely seal this cave entrance?"
After looking at the passage that was about three square meters in size, the two black rose mages nodded and one of them said.
"Lord Lester, we can use rock magic to seal the entrance. It won't take long."
"How long will it take? I need exact numbers."
After hesitating for a moment, the male mage spoke.
"One minute is enough."
"Start now, as quickly as possible."
"clear!"
Gathering the magic power of their bodies, the two mages began to chant spells. Waves of magic from the earth element rippled out, like wheat germs emerging from the earth in early spring. Under the illusory yellow magic, magic elements symbolizing earth and stone It began to vibrate and extend upward from the ground,
In the invisible magic realm, a magic circle is slowly moving.
Turning around, Lester said to Margaret.
"Margaret, go and summon the Black Iron Guards, Shadow Crossbowmen and Black Rose Mage. If we can't defend here, we will need to defend the surface mine entrance."
"yes!"
After the blond girl turned around and ran away, everyone present realized that the beautiful lord's wife who was following the lord without saying a word was the Noxian Black Iron Guard Iron Lady. Among them, Joey was the most frightened. .
"The rest of the people evacuate here quickly! The Black Iron Guards of Noxus are arrayed in front to protect the mages and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
Joey and Blister quickly left. Lester pulled out a spare dagger from the Noxian Black Iron Guard, placed it in front of him, and said coldly.
"The enemy is hundreds of red-skinned rats, armed with powerful crossbows and sharp and hard daggers. Those holding iron shields are in front, and those holding spears are behind. They use their shields to resist the crossbow bolts, and keep the distance as much as possible. Spears kill rats..."
Seeing that the earth and rocks had grown to half the height of the cave entrance, the mage said loudly.
"Lord, please bring the people out quickly! The entrance to the cave will be closed soon!"
"Zhizhizhi..."
The rat's voice was approaching quickly.
"If the soldiers withdraw now and this wall is attacked while it is not completed, can it be blocked?"
"Lord Leicester... I'm afraid not... Magic can be completely transformed from elemental energy into matter only after it is completely completed. Whether it is unformed magic or the mage himself, if you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted after being attacked... "
As soon as the mage finished speaking, a numbing rattle came from the darkness. He glanced at the Noxian Black Iron Guards in front of him with complicated eyes. Lester closed his eyes and gave the order. One last command.
"The Black Iron Guard of Noxus obeys the order and stays here to stop the enemy."
A few soldiers' legs trembled and they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands. A few soldiers looked at each other with a wry smile and sighed deeply. A few soldiers turned their heads and smiled at Lester. .
"Lord, my name is Sweet, and I will leave my mother to you."
"Lord Leicester, it's my honor to follow you. I don't have a family anymore, so that's fine..."
"Lord, I, I'm a little scared, can you give me a hug?"
Facing the faces of those who were reluctant to part, fearful, or respectful, Lester came to the girl who was two heads shorter than him, and gently hugged the trembling girl, making the girl calm down a little. .
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"Lord Leicester! You don't have much time!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The girl's voice was slightly green and childish.
"My name is Alice, Lord Lord. I am sixteen years old. I have just passed the test of the Black Iron Guard and won first place among my peers. Because I have no combat experience, I was assigned to the mining area...
My biggest dream is to become your sword, Lord Lord, and fight for you. Finally... my dream has finally come true. "
Smiling, he touched the girl's head and gently kissed her on the forehead, Lester said softly.
"Are you still afraid?"
Her face was red, and the girl was a little shy, but she still shook her head.
"Don't be afraid now. Sir, please go over quickly. Just leave this place to me."
"Lord Lester! Hurry up!! The magic is about to take shape!"
"Whizzing……"
The balance between life and death began to tilt, and the weight of death suddenly increased.
Two crossbow arrows flew from the darkness and struck hard on the stone wall at the corner.
Some soldiers roared to embolden themselves, some cried and sang songs, and some gritted their teeth and tightened their weapons.
They were scared, they didn't run away, they were ready to die.
Lester lets go of the girl named Alice.
The organization, my former home, has always done this. When it is time to give up, the children in the family will be given up, and they will die without regrets and willingly.
You want to be someone else's home. You become someone else's home. You also want others to do this for you and let others die for you.
This is home, this is family.
Lester turned around, his vision blurry in the darkness.
Then, an unforgettable memory of his past life emerged from the depths of his body.
He finally passed through the illusory magic light curtain...
In the stunned expression of the mage, he tripped and fell down the two mages.
He picked up the only remaining oil lamp hanging on the rock wall, slammed it onto the wooden frame support of the mine tunnel, and allowed the kerosene to ignite the wooden frame.
The spell was interrupted, the light curtain that was about to take shape disappeared, and the cave entrance returned to its original state, with only the burning wooden door frame burning.
Lester took a deep breath.
He is still the lord, and the territory is no longer his original home.
He wanted to build a different home.
"The Black Iron Guards of Noxus obey orders! Retreat to the surface!"
The rats came and heard the lord's roar from behind. They were suppressed by the crossbows. The dozen or so soldiers who were about to charge forward and drag the enemy were stunned. The next second, the soldiers responded loudly with roars.
"yes!!!"
Soldiers passed through the fire door that symbolized life one by one, and followed Lester feverishly as he ran away with the confused mage at the front.
Behind the fire door, the deep darkness and evil red light were blocked by the fire door. The dark earthen jars smashed against the door frame again, the green water gurgled, and the flames were suppressed and quickly extinguished.
There was no one in the mine tunnel, and Lester, who had inspected the mine more than once, easily recognized the road leading to the surface.
After setting fires and running all the way, the two mages finally recovered from the shock and joined the ranks of setting fires.
If before, they only obeyed the lord because of the orders of Ms. Meredith and Ms. Rose, but after being forcibly interrupted from casting spells, the two people who suffered backlash were now willing to truly follow the young man.
Even a heart longing for the coldness of black magic also wants to be closer to the warm light of fire.
As long as you have experienced the warmth of the sun, no one will dislike the sun.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to give up.
Lester successfully led everyone to the surface.
He knew his time was running out.
"What we need is war! An upright war!"
Outside the mine, Margaret, wearing a white dress, stood at the front with a long sword and a cold look on her face.
The hundreds of Noxian Black Iron Guards and Shadow Crossbowmen troops lined up neatly were silent.
Lester was a little embarrassed, but still awe-inspiring, standing upright.
A dozen Noxian Black Iron Guard soldiers returned quickly.
"We can make sacrifices, but sacrifices will only appear on the battlefield."
He walked over impassionedly and turned around to face the burning mine. The evil voices in the mine approached like a frenzy.
The man in front of everyone drew his sword, his voice was calm and his will was as strong as steel.
"Noxus, after today, there will be no more left behind! No more abandoned ones! Unsheath my sword!"
They cannot be born together! Then let's die together! "
Behind the man, the soldiers were solemn, their weapons unsheathed, their sharp arrows cocked, and their evil aura rising to the sky.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!!! Kill!!!!"
