Pomaer Village is only 30 kilometers away from Baishu City. The village is medium-sized and is a bit away from the main road. It is not a strategic location at a traffic junction, but it has the most complete defense among the villages near Baishu City.
Because the baron who lived here before had a good family background due to the mine, he built a stone wall and a watchtower for the village. Among the many villages around, this village has one of the best defenses.
Moreover, most of the villagers in Pomare Village were miners, and they were tough and young, so a whole platoon of militia was recruited. The captain of the militia was Pompa, a veteran from the Guards. He was born in a slave camp and joined the Guards very early.
Xiao Chen arranged Ji Yijun and Mei Tiantian's group in this village. Ji Yijun naturally understood Xiao Chen's meaning. Putting the little ancestors in this place can not only allow them to participate in the war, but also minimize their danger. However, he really couldn't concentrate on the job of a nanny, especially after being tricked by Mei Tiantian before the transmission, which caused his prestige in the hearts of these little ghosts to drop sharply. These guys often "give suggestions" to him in person, or find fault with his work, which made him so angry that he sometimes wanted to grab them and spank them.
But when faced with real orders, they were able to complete them in a disciplined manner, leaving him with nothing to hold against them. If it weren't for giving Xiao Chen a chance to save face, Ji Yijun would have run away long ago.
That afternoon, Ji Yijun was doing routine inspections on the city wall with the wizard Logan and the militia captain Pompa. Outside the city wall, a group of militiamen were clearing branches near the wall. Mei Tiantian, Wu Zibin, and two older children, Luisa and Linero, were following behind the militiamen and watching.
This was the plan that Ji Yijun came up with after a meeting with the militia yesterday. The stone wall of Pomaer Village was not very high and had not been used for many years. If the trees near the wall were not cleared, people rushing in from outside could easily climb over the trees and break into the wall. Therefore, the militia almost went out in full force to start the work of clearing the fields.
Ji Yijun leaned his head out from the city wall and saw a few children pointing at the militiamen, so he shouted, "Meitiantian, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to stay in the village?"
Mei Tiantian looked up at Ji Yijun and said, "We are here to help."
"Don't join in the fun. How much strength do you have with your little arms and legs?" Ji Yijun said, "Look at the militia brothers. Is there anyone who needs your help?"
Ji Yijun shouted to a tall militiaman, "Brother Osa, do you need these kids to help you?"
The militiaman named Osa looked back at Mei Tiantian and the others and said with a smile: "Sir, oh, no, chief, you must be joking, right? Of course, we will do the hard work. You little wizards, you should go back to the village and sit there and daydream!"
Ji Yijun said, "Look, I told you to go back and meditate. Just stay here, the adults are very busy."
Mei Tiantian said: "Captain Ji, we are not here just to join in the fun. Since you know we are mages, why don't you use our power? I know you want to protect us, but don't you realize that we are not the ones who need protection the most here."
Logan scratched his head and said, "That's actually true."
Ji Yijun glared at him and curled his lips and said, "Can you spare me some trouble?"
Without waiting for Ji Yijun to answer, Mei Tiantian said, "Just watch."
She quickly cast a spell, and a magical halo enveloped the Osa and the others, making them look at their bodies in confusion.
"Giant strength, agility, acceleration... Awesome, awesome! I can't cast such magic with such speed. Mei Tiantian's talent in this area is really amazing! No, it's not just talent. Look at her movements, it's like a light and confident dance, which can only be achieved after countless practice." Logan said with admiration in his tone.
Ji Yijun was also a little surprised. He had never seen Mei Tiantian cast multiple spells in a row. But he had seen how Xiao Chen cast spells at this level, and it seemed that none of them were as neat as hers.
Four or five buff spells were cast on these people, making the militiamen's bodies look radiant. No one had ever cast magic on them like this before, and they looked curious and scared, standing there stiffly, not daring to move, but unable to help looking around at the light on their bodies.
"Okay, try doing the same movements as just now and see if there are any changes." Umeda said.
Osa and his men were originally chopping down trees with axes. Usually, it would take them several minutes to chop down a slightly thicker tree. But this time, Osa chopped carefully a few times, and the axe actually hit the heart of the tree. After a few more chops, the tree fell down with a loud bang.
"Look, you are now chopping down trees faster than the past two you. This is the value of magic," said Umeda.
"Yes. Little wizard, oh, no, Master Wizard, your magic is so powerful. I have never felt so strong! Now I can beat up the three previous me!" Osa said happily, holding the axe in his hand.
"But that's not all." Mei Tiantian gave Wu Zibin a look. The little boy ran happily to a new tree.
He put his hand on a certain position of the tree trunk and muttered something. After a minute, he stepped back and said to Osa: "Use all your strength and chop hard here!"
Osha now admired these children very much. He spat twice in his hands, rubbed them vigorously, and then held the axe handle tightly. He walked to the tree, got ready, shouted, and chopped down with the axe.
The sound of the axe hitting the tree was very different from the previous one. It sounded much duller. With a "pop", the axe actually went through the entire trunk cleanly and split the tree into two parts.
Osa didn't expect this result. He used too much force and the axe fell to the ground. He looked up at the fallen tree in a daze and muttered, "How is this possible? How is this possible!"
"This is a corrosion spell. Wu Zibin softened the corrosion of this section of the tree trunk. After your strength was enhanced by me, it's not surprising that you can chop it off with one axe." Mei Tiantian explained, "Now, everyone has seen our power. This is the change that a magician can bring to you. Please don't treat us as children anymore, but as real magicians who can influence the situation!" (To be continued)
