The subsequent morning, Garrett Nordmark joined the particular forces and headed north at full velocity.

He entrusted his tent, provides, and medical gear to Elder Hiss, carrying solely a big backpack for comfort on the journey. The backpack was crammed with meals, water, clarified alum for purifying water, and a considerable quantity of gauze bandages and medicines.

As well as, Garrett had a small pouch securely mounted round his waist. Contained in the pouch have been provides for him as a healer:

– Ten bottles of minor therapeutic potions

– 5 bottles of average therapeutic potions

– Two bottles of extreme therapeutic potions

– Two bottles of antidote

– Two vials of power potions promised by Elder Hiss

In a artistic transfer, Garrett additionally stuffed a bunch of issues into the pouch:

– Ten small oxygen cylinders, every the scale of a bit of finger, sealed with cork and wax.

– Ten small take a look at tubes, every containing 1/5 of potassium permanganate. With this stuff, he primarily carried 20 highly effective spells. Garrett touched his pouch, feeling reassured.

In fact, there have been additionally the mana pearls given by Grasp Lorenz, the wood attraction from Elder Hiss, the amulet from the bald Bishop that would activate a defend as soon as a day, and a wide range of magical objects offered by Mage Linde, together with offensive and defensive ones. If it weren’t for Garrett’s intervention, the necromancer would have unloaded his total magical arsenal on him.

Garrett, regardless of showing overly cautious, was well-prepared. The particular forces he joined consisted of solely 21 peopleoriginally designated for 20, however Garrett introduced alongside his follower, increasing the rely by one. There have been two level-five members, three level-four, and 5 level-three. Garrett’s energy ranked on the backside on this group.

If he hadn’t been beforehand injured and required therapeutic, he would not have certified for the mission.

…In fact, Garrett’s follower, the barbarian Bernard, was a level-seven warrior. Averaging it out, they have been about stage 4. Whether or not this averaging was acceptable was one other matter.

The boisterous laughter continued. Garrett deliberate his reply, counting on the increase from each magic and divine arts. After a second of thought, he requested, “Why are we climbing a mountain if we’re imagined to observe the river?”

“This river is kind of tough.” Captain Barnes picked up a chunk of firewood, stomped out sparks, and drew on the bottom to indicate Garrett: “From the mouth of the river inward, dozens of miles are all cliffs. Solely after passing by means of can we discover a flat space to dock. Climbing the mountain and searching down is probably the most handy we will assault, however they cannot attain us!”

“The query is, can we assault?” Garrett puzzled. Wanting on the river not far-off, the Dov River was already fairly extensive right here, with a floor space of probably lots of of meters. Anchored ships on the alternative facet may simply carry lots of of individuals. If this was additional downstream, how massive would the ships should be?

“We are able to undoubtedly assault!” Captain Barnes laughed heartily, pointing to the alternative facet: “Little priest, are you not a neighborhood? With simply this ship, it will possibly at most attain Som Port. Additional down the river, though it isn’t slender, it is filled with rocks and mountains, and massive ships cannot go. We’re simply checking if there is a small crew; if there may be, we’ll care for them on the fly!”

It appeared the possibility of a battle wasn’t very excessive. Garrett relaxed, picturing the terrain in his thoughts. He gazed on the full moon within the sky for some time, completed his routine meditation, and walked across the campfire earlier than sinking right into a deep sleep.

The subsequent day, they rose early and traveled for a lot of the day, lastly reaching the cliffs on the mouth of the river within the night.

The group deserted their horses and commenced ascending the mountain. Captain Barnes tied up the horses, leaped up the slope at an angle of not less than 30 levels. The extent-four mage chanted just a few traces, a light-weight wind surrounded him, making him agile. With a leap, he virtually caught up with the archers in entrance.

The opposite warriors have been additionally racing, each vying to be first. On the slope with out a ready-made highway, they sprinted with the momentum of a hundred-meter sprint.

Garrett lagged behind alone. He appeared up: climbing was doable, however along with his skills, he may solely crawl up utilizing

palms and toes, step-by-step. Simply as he was pondering this, instantly, his waist tightened, his physique lightened, and the bottom beneath his toes retreated. Bernard, the barbarian, had picked him up and was sprinting. The extent-seven warrior surged upward, as quick as a galloping horse, and shortly surpassed the entrance of the crew. Reaching the mountaintop, Garrett, trying down, took a pointy breath:

Who mentioned massive ships could not navigate right here?

Between the canyons, the river was crammed with quite a few masts and sails. Dozens of masts have been seen at a look. Every mast proudly displayed the identical flag: a raised arm holding a stunning golden thunderbolt, able to strike down at any second.

Below the setting solar, the golden thunderbolts appeared as if they might strike the earth at any time.

“Radiant Lord!”

Beside him, Captain Barnes gritted his enamel, joints creaking.
