Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 150 There is a wonderful scene ahead
Bai Shi walked along the main road in the city.

But when passing a certain place in the city, Bai Shi suddenly stopped.

He raised his hand and pointed in that direction.

Then he asked the Crucible Knight Red beside him:
"what is that?"

Reid looked in the direction of Bai Shi's finger.

There stood a huge stone sword carved out of rock, the tip of the sword pointing obliquely to the sky, surrounded by a storm.

With the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship, the storm wrapped around the sword is so lifelike, as if the real storm was frozen in time.

Behind the statue of the sword and the storm is the city wall that was split by the storm when Bai Shi used Wind Spirit Moon Shadow to kill Greg, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

"This is a monument to you defeating Greg and retaking Stonewell."

Bai Shi was a little puzzled. How come he didn't know that Stonewell had built such a thing?

Fortunately, they did not directly build statues of their own characters, otherwise it would feel a bit strange for people to watch every day.

Bai Shi looked at the monument carefully.

From a purely aesthetic point of view, this statue is quite nice, and the craftsmanship of the craftsman seems to be quite good.

And with the sword and the storm, it really does show the style of that battle, which is quite appropriate.

"When was this built? Why don't I know about this thing?"

Red thought about it.

"The construction started quite early. The monument was put on the agenda after Stonewell was roughly restored."

"We originally thought that we would tell you about this after it is built."

"As a result, it was probably completed some time ago, just after you left, so we missed out."

Bai Shi was a little curious about who came up with the idea of building the monument.

Bai Shi guessed that it was Lancelet. Considering his personality, it was possible.

"Whose idea was this?"

But to Bai Shi's surprise, Red pointed at himself.

"It's me and Andre."

Bai Shi thought about it and it seemed to be very reasonable.

They, the Crucible Knights, had fought alongside Gefrey in the past, leaving their battle records everywhere, and there were many monuments to commemorate their achievements.

Perhaps the custom of leaving sword monuments on borders to commemorate wars was passed down from them.

Bai Shi walked over, took a closer look, and found that there were words engraved on the base of the statue.

That’s right, what’s the point of calling it a monument if there are no words on it.

The base is engraved with:
The Battle of Storm Restoration.

'Storm King' Bai Shi killed 'Limb-Graco' Greg and restored the Storm Dynasty.

At this point, Stonewell was once again embraced by the storm.
-
Bai Shi nodded and gave a very concise summary of the situation.

Compared to the one boasting about the battle record, Bai Shi prefers the last one.

Stonewell was once again embraced by the storm, and "embraced" was a very soft word.

On the one hand, it is the return to the rule of the storm, and on the other hand, it is the benevolent policy that Bai Shi has been implementing.

Whether it is peacefully taking over the post-war situation or implementing racial harmony.

Compared to ruling or leading, the word "embrace" is indeed more appropriate.

Seeing that Bai Shi seemed quite satisfied, Reid continued:
"In fact, after last night's battle with the Night Riders, we are also planning to build another monument."

"It was built on that battlefield to commemorate the complete annihilation of Nimgefu's Night Riders."

Bai Shi originally wanted to stop them because he felt that doing so was a bit of a waste of manpower.

But think about it, building a monument is also a way to spread his name and expand his influence, and these are not achieved by spending manpower.

Besides, it is also their love and a symbol of their love for me.

Although most of his capable men joined the group lately and many of them were strangers to each other, Bai Shi did have a good relationship with them.

And you know what, it feels really good to be praised like this.
-
Bai Shi left from the path behind Stonewell City.

After circling in the secret passage, we arrived at the cliff behind Stonewell.

Coming out of the dark secret passage and looking at Lienia, Bai Shi was once again immersed in the magnificent scenery of the border area.

Looking from a high place, the view seems to have no end, expanding towards infinity, greedily wanting to take in all the scenery.

The boundless, sea-like Lake Lienya is right at Bai Shi's feet.

Even though it was a bright sunny day, the lake in Lienia was still covered with a light blue mist, casting a mysterious veil over the area.

Under the cover of the trees in the lake, the pyroxene crystals growing in the lake area emit a star-like glow, just like a group of stars.

On the land on the east and west banks of Lake Lienya, there are vast and lush forests.

The magic academy Rhea Lukalia, full of mystery and magic, stands proudly at the end of the sight.

The golden trees in the distance add a touch of warmth to this stunning view, preventing people from being discouraged by the cold lake water.

Perhaps the moon and the golden tree were once so harmonious.

Bai Shi stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing out and overlooking the magnificent scenery in the world.

Melina stood beside Bai Shi and was also deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery. She couldn't help but praise it:
“How beautiful…”

Although Red was still around, Bai Shi wanted to speak now and share this common feeling with Melina.

"It's so beautiful."

Using words that didn't sound like an answer but wouldn't make Red feel weird, Bai Shi praised him sincerely.

Red looked around and confirmed that he was the only one with Bai Shi.

Thinking that it was Bai Shi who was talking to him, he thought for a moment and then responded:

"……really."

Seeing this, Melina covered her mouth and laughed softly.

Although he couldn't see Melina, Bai Shi's expression softened when he heard her carefree laughter.

But the harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.

A clear eagle cry was heard in the sky.

Then, a broken bird-shaped puppet soldier fell down and hit Bai Shi and others.

The puppet soldiers were made very crudely, just iron sheets with some strange parts attached.

I don't know how they were made to work, but the iron sheets hit the stones with a crisp "bang".

As the bird-shaped puppet soldier fell from the sky, its body fell apart, revealing many small parts.

This bird-shaped puppet soldier was still able to move. When it saw Bai Shi and Red beside it, it immediately started waving its sickle on the ground.

It was just that its leg was broken, so it just turned around twice on the ground with all its might.

Bai Shi didn't tolerate it and kicked it off the cliff.

Behind Stonewell is a steep cliff that is absolutely impossible for humans to climb.

This is part of Stonewell's defensive terrain. Normally, there is no need to worry about enemies attacking from here, so the defense has always been relatively weak.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that we cannot rest easy.

The academy's puppet soldiers can climb up the cliff here without caring about losses.

And there are these flying bird-shaped puppet soldiers and hot air balloons, which are as annoying as flies.

The body of the bird-shaped puppet soldier collided back and forth with the protruding stone tablet on the cliff, fell all the way down the cliff, and finally fell apart completely.

Bai Shi then noticed that right at the bottom of the cliff, there were already quite a few debris left by puppet soldiers and hot air balloons.

It seems that they are the ones that Elissa and the Storm Eagles had dealt with before.

A huge storm eagle landed in front of Bai Shi, and the double knives on its feet stabbed into the soil to stabilize its body.

In terms of the age of Storm Eagles, this is already a very old Storm Eagle.

An artificial throat sac was attached to its throat, giving it the ability to breathe fire.

The claws were cut off and replaced with thin and long blades. Over the long years, the flesh and steel have completely merged and are no longer distinguishable from each other. This was the transformation of some storm eagles when Greg ruled Nimgefor.

The puppet soldier that just fell was obviously its masterpiece.

Every time Bai Shi sees these storm eagles, he feels a little distressed.

But the Storm Eagles are also warriors and are not bothered by these things. Instead, they use their bodies, which are stronger than those of their own kind, to serve Bai Shi.

Bai Shi nodded and asked the storm eagle about Elissa's location.

The storm eagle took off into the air and flew in one direction.

From time to time it would fly back, waiting for Bai Shi and others to catch up.

Bai Shi and others followed the direction guided by the Storm Eagle and soon arrived at a church outside the city of Stonewell.

This church is called Elis Church, and it is where Teacher Tops is located in the game.

But now Mr. Tops is still doing research in the city, so this place is empty.

There is also a holy grail in here. Bai Shi had already asked someone to come here and take it away, so there is absolutely nothing here.

This church is now used as a camp by Elissa and the Storm Eagles for rest.

There are many storm eagles in the church, each standing on the broken walls of the church to rest.

Several Silver Knights were sitting on chairs in the church to rest, with their long bows leaning against their sides.

Because the puppet soldiers did not launch a large-scale attack but only harassed, not many Silver Knights were stationed there.

These silver knights are not here full-time, they are just sent here in shifts to practice their archery skills.

The main force of the battle still relies on Elissa and Storm Eagle.

Elissa stood in front of the huge statue of Marika and stared at it, wondering what she was thinking.

Bai Shi knew that when she stood like this, she was actually resting.

When I was studying with her before, she had told me that if you want to survive in the snowy mountains, you must have the ability to recover your strength even in harsh environments.

When the Silver Knights saw Bai Shi and Red, they immediately stood up, lined up, and saluted Bai Shi.

Bai Shi nodded and asked them to go and rest, but none of the Silver Knights went to rest at this time and insisted on standing.

Bai Shi could see that the Silver Knights were very well disciplined, which was the most important thing for guards.

Elissa turned around and bowed slightly.

"How's it going lately?"

When Elissa stood up, Bai Shi asked about the battle situation here.

Elissa nodded.

"It's OK, no problem."

"I don't know what the School of Magic is going to do, but at this stage it should just be harassment."

"The puppet soldiers sent over are very weak, and the Storm Eagles can easily deal with them."

"As for those that are larger in scale and stronger in strength, I will handle them."

"It's just that, that's why it's annoying."

I am still very confident about Elissa's strength.

Especially when it comes to dealing area damage and clearing out mobs on a large scale, they are much stronger than the Crucible Knights.

Samir's Ice Storm is a magic that can change the battlefield on a large scale. It once froze the position where the academy's teacher Se Lian was guarding.

Moreover, she will not try to be stubborn and will never insist on doing something that she cannot do.

Since she said it was okay, there really shouldn't be anything that she couldn't solve.

Bai Shi then asked:

"What is the frequency of harassment at the academy?"

Just as Elissa was about to speak, a storm eagle cried loudly.

This is a signal that the enemy has been spotted.

Elissa looked up, then said to Bai Shi helplessly:

“See, it’s just that annoying.”

"The miscellaneous soldiers are almost non-stop, and the Storm Eagles need to take turns to go out and clear them out."

"And slightly more numerous troops appear from time to time to harass. Sometimes the harassment is short, and sometimes it is long, which is difficult to predict."

Bai Shi also frowned. This was indeed harassment. The offensive was not strong, but it was purely disgusting.

Bai Shi turned around and walked out of Elis Church.

"Let's go, I'll go see what's going on myself."

There was a large-scale attack as soon as Bai Shi arrived. It is hard to say that the academy did not see him through some means.

Lienia was the territory of the Magic Academy, so there was no need to mobilize a troop of puppets from it immediately.

Led by Storm Eagle, Bai Shi arrived at a relatively less steep cliff.

Many puppet soldiers are climbing up from here.

From time to time, some of the puppet soldiers would clumsily stumble and fall, breaking into pieces at the foot of the cliff.

However, the broken puppet soldiers below were pieced together to create new puppet soldiers from the corpses.

The bird-shaped puppet soldiers and the hot air balloons carrying the puppet soldiers had already come up and were fighting with the Storm Eagles in the air.

The puppet soldiers on the hot air balloons held two bows in four hands and shot very quickly.

Although the hit rate is not satisfactory, at least the shooting is really fast, and the messy trajectory makes it difficult for the Storm Eagles to judge.

The Storm Eagles must constantly dodge or use the storm to deflect incoming arrows.

Such a battle is very exhausting, no wonder the Storm Eagles looked so tired earlier.

However, the puppet soldiers were indeed very weak, and very few Storm Eagles were injured.

In the time it took Bai Shi to arrive, the Storm Eagle had almost regained air supremacy.

Bai Shi stood at the edge of the cliff, facing the numerous puppet soldiers, and spoke calmly:
"Magic Academy, I know you can see and hear."

"No matter what your thoughts are."

"I am giving you an ultimatum now."

"As long as any life from your faction appears within my jurisdiction, the war will begin immediately."

"Then, I will kill my way into your shell."

"Don't doubt whether I can do it. Your academy's self-sealing is not flawless."

After making the declaration, Bai Shi stretched out his right hand.

The tremendous magical power surged out and turned into a raging storm.

Since adding points yesterday, Bai Shi's magic power has increased significantly.

There are many moves that you were reluctant to use before and had a low cost-effectiveness, but now you can use them without any worries.

A storm rose from the bottom of the cliff, and the dolls hanging on the cliff were blown into the sky like toys.

The bird-shaped puppet soldiers and hot air balloons that were already in the sky were also unable to escape.

The storm eagles were like fish in water, swimming freely in the storm.

Bai Shi rotated his palms, facing the sky, and slowly clenched them.

The storm was completely blocked and formed into a condensed air mass.

Deadly wind blades rushed back and forth in it, whittling everything into powder.

Bai Shi loosened his grip, and the remains of the puppet soldiers were blown towards Rhea Lukalia by the wind.

Bai Shi is now concerned about the battle festival and has no intention of attacking the magic academy immediately. If they behave themselves, he will let them live for a while longer.

But if the School of Magic continues to seek trouble...

Then it is not impossible for Bai Shi to change the itinerary and spend a few days to finish the magic academy first.
