Chapter 140 Shipwreck! Block the Road! (First Update)

"With such a large fleet, we can't fight hard."

"That's right, we have few people, so we can only outwit them."

"Just block the boat. There are mountains for dozens of miles, and they can't get up."

"There are ships upstream. If we sink a few ships in the channel, we can at least block the big ships."

"You have to hurry. The nearest port from here is still dozens of miles away."

"No problem. It's low tide now, and the next high tide is midnight. They shouldn't dare to sail at night. In that case, they will have to wait until noon tomorrow to lift anchor - we still have time."

In the howling cold wind, the two spellcasters ran side by side. You said a word, and I said a word. To be precise, the only one who could run on his own two legs was the wizard Daniel from the task force. Gretel was carried by the barbarians as usual...

The warriors also ran with them. Starting from Captain Barnes, everyone was attentive, afraid of missing a word. The captain listened and suddenly shouted:

"Lovie."

"Ah?" The young archer turned his head. Captain Barnes took off his short knife as he ran and put it into his hand:

"Go back to the main camp and report the situation! Whether we can stop it or not, the news of the coming fleet must be known to the Earl!"

"But--"

"Go quickly!"

Captain Barnes sounded stern. Luo Wei shrank his neck and had no choice but to hold on to the short knife and turn around to go down the mountain. When we got down to the foot of the mountain, we got on our horses and hurried to the main camp.

The rest of the people galloped along the ridge, climbing to the top of the mountain alternately to look around. The red sun was setting in the west, and the mountain road below was gradually unclear. Gretel had to take turns with Master Daniel to release the dancing light spell to illuminate the team's feet. When the first spell was released, Daniel was quite surprised:

"You are a mage? - Then why do you want to be a priest? Which church would be willing to do that?"

"Uh..." Grete was used to this kind of questioning. He turned a deaf ear to it at the moment and only chose the last question to answer:

"Church of the God of Nature..."

"Oh, them." Master Daniel has been running around with the scout team, and he really has never heard Gretel's gossip. However, as soon as I heard the words "God of Nature", I immediately understood:

"No wonder. Their family is okay. The Church of the God of Nature is very old. In ancient times, their family did not distinguish between mages and priests..."

They ran wildly for half the night, and when the moon was high in the sky, they finally saw a large ship in the fjord. The wanderer set up the rope, felt around, and came back to report:

"The ship is quite big, but I can't sink it by myself. There aren't many things on the ship that can be burned. I'm afraid it won't work if I try to block the channel by blowing up the ship."

"What's on board?"

Captain Barnes pressed. The stalker recalled:

"Ore, clay pots, bristles, flour..."

As he spoke, Captain Barnes shook his head. Master Daniel asked from the side:

"No olive oil? No tung oil? Not even cotton?"

When he asked something, the stalker shook his head. Master Daniel thought hard, and finally sighed:

"Forget it, let's go down first. Drive the ship to the center of the channel and see if we can sink it with brute force."

"That's all." Captain Barnes was helpless. Under the moonlight, he looked dejectedly into the depths of the canyon, with a red face and limp beard, and they all lay down together to show their frustration. Grete had been listening silently. When he heard this, his heart suddenly moved:

"flour?"

"Yeah, flour." Stalker nodded affirmatively. Gretel caught him and asked:

"How much flour is there? Where is it stored? Is it ground finely?"

The stalker was startled - he really jumped back. If he hadn't corrected his direction in time, he would have almost fallen to the bottom of the cliff. Gretel was so impulsive that she came directly to grab his hand—big brother! I'm playing with the blade!

Fortunately, the lurkers were expert in dodge and pulled back in time, so that no tragedy occurred on the spot. He recalled it carefully and answered exactly:

"There's quite a lot of flour. It's packed in the lower cargo hold, at least 200 bags. The 100-pound bags are quite thin. I don't know what's inside. I opened it and took a look. It's fine white flour. Bread kind of flour.”

"That's good!" Gretel gave a confident high-five. "We went down and took control of the boat, drove to shallow water and blew up the boat!"

He detailed his plan. Although everyone was hesitant about the most crucial point, after Gretel showed off his original fire magic, they agreed to act accordingly——

Of course, it may also be because Grete added that if it still can't be blown up, it can be scuttled with brute force.

Anyway, there is a seventh-level warrior, two fifth-level warriors, and three fourth-level warriors present. If they beat it to death, it can probably, maybe, maybe, still be scuttled.

With the help of the stalker, they reached the bottom of the gorge and slipped onto the docked cargo ship. Grete still felt pity and suggested not to hurt the crew, so Master Daniel took the lead and hypnotized everyone on the ship with a [Sleeping Wind]. Everyone worked together to tie them up, tie them up, and gagged them, and carried them to the shore.

Then Bernard the Barbarian used his brute strength to pull up the anchor and go down the river.

"Spread the flour in the cargo hold! Spread it evenly!" Captain Barnes and his immediate attendant - the double-sword warrior - were controlling the ship, while Gretel was in the cargo hold with two other soldiers. Doing tricks. Of course, Gretel doesn't do the hard work, he just urges:

"Quick! Move quickly! We don't have much time! Sprinkle all the flour as much as possible! Don't light a fire, just dance with lights!"

"Are you ready? We're here!" The cargo ship went down the river for more than ten miles, and it didn't take much time. Captain Barnes estimated that if he went further past this turning point, he would be able to directly see the fleet of the Lord of Glory Church. He did not dare to go any further, so he knocked the cargo ship horizontally five or six miles away and dropped the anchor.

"It's almost ready! You guys retreat first!" Grete replied loudly. A series of footsteps on the ship went away. Gretel heard that everyone had evacuated and turned to Master Daniel:

"Let's come together! Wind-making technique, blow up these flours, the more they can be blown up, the better! Three! Two! One!"

The two mages stood side by side at the door of the cabin, chanting spells, and strong winds roared out. Changing the power of the wind is a first-level spell. Grete's power is average, but Master Daniel can sweep away a large area. When powder dust was flying everywhere in the warehouse, Grete returned to the deck, pointed upward, and the light ball of Dancing Lights rotated around——

Soon, he saw the torch swinging in a circle on the top of the cliff, and then swinging in a circle again. Very good, everyone has successfully evacuated and has retreated to the top of the mountain!

"Okay! Let's retreat too!" Grete said happily. He pushed Master Daniel to Bernard, and asked the barbarians to carry the Master up the cliff, and then lift a steel shield from the cliff back to him. The two stood outside the cargo door. Bernard squatted down slightly, and Gretel used his hands and feet to hang on his back.

The barbarian had his back to the hatch, one arm bent back, covering his back with a steel shield. Grete tried to reduce the area behind the shield as much as possible. He put one hand around the barbarian's neck and tried to turn his head to look back. The other hand stretched out of the steel shield. After a while, the flour exploded, and the shock wave was huge. Although Bernard ran fast, it was better to have a shield to cover him...

All defense work is completed. Gretel concentrated for a moment, aimed at the interior of the cargo hold from a distance, and activated his modified version of the Burning Hand.

"Three, two, one!"

boom! ! !
