It was getting late. Even though they had the royal family's magic map, the scouts still explored the road meticulously. After ensuring that it was safe, the Kuishui Army set up camp. WwW、QUAbEn-XIAoShUo、cOmThe north of Kushui County is also mountainous. This road seems to have been carved out of the mountains by God. Three thousand men and horses set up two camps and camped along the roadside.
If it were outside Qin Yin's territory, such a station would obviously be inappropriate, but this was deep in the empire and there would be no enemy army. The thieves would also go around when they saw the regular imperial army.
The emperor's rewards were many, and they were all packed in wooden boxes on the carriage. These wooden boxes are all magic equipment, and the space inside can hold more items. The equipment in these spaces is very crude and can only be used by great magicians. The horses pulling the carriages had to unload their shafts to rest. These carriages were surrounded by simple square formations to protect the magician's tent.
Battle mages set up a large number of magic alarms, officers arranged patrol soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers were responsible for cooking.
As smoke rose, Salin sat at the door of the tent and watched the soldiers busy. The trip from Kushui County to the Imperial Capital was not called a march, it was just a rush. Rex was obviously much more nervous this time, and everything was according to wartime standards. The one hundred swordsmen assigned to Saleen arranged the carriage and began to prepare food.
"Master Salin, why don't you take a rest?" Tinis came over and saw Salin sitting in front of the tent, a little strange. He led his men around to inspect the area, checking for defences. Most mages would take a break while the soldiers were cooking.
Salin is in good health, and the pills Jason gave him can improve his physique by itself. After meeting Joey, in addition to solving his magic string troubles, his physique has been enhanced several times. Saleen felt that if he had a sword in his hand, he could at least fight with high-level swordsmen for a while without getting tired.
It's a pity that with the magic string, you can't practice sword energy. No matter how strong the magician's physique is, he can't defeat the swordsman by hand-to-hand combat.
"I'm not tired. I want to learn about marching." Salin said frankly. In the books he had read, many magicians had joined the army and became commanding generals. This is not surprising at all. Magicians have a wealth of knowledge. After becoming a great magician, they will temporarily leave the laboratory and experience life in their own way.
Even magicians who are not short of money will do this. Only by understanding life can magicians find their own way. Salin's teacher Jason left Qin Yin because of this. During the process of level five to level six, a magician will develop his own unique style in preparation for becoming an advanced magician.
The feelings at this stage cannot be imparted by teachers. Unless your own expectations are not high, you can always follow the teacher to learn, then you will become a mediocre magician.
Even as strong as Joey, he still lives in Holy Rock City and has contact with ordinary people. Ordinary magicians will also build magic towers outside the city and will not live in isolation.
Beyond level six, magic becomes more than just the arrangement of elements.
Saleen once experienced the power of the army. It was an invisible momentum that had nothing to do with the elements, but it had a very real impact on Saleen's practice.
"Why don't you rest?" Salin asked Tinis. Thinis was still wearing his armor. It had been a whole day, and even a great swordsman would be tired.
"When camping, the army is most vulnerable to enemy attacks. Although the scouts have explored, they cannot guard against enemies with flying monsters. On the battlefield, smoke is a signal. If the enemy keeps harassing you, you will not be able to eat. The combat effectiveness of the army will plummet."
Only then did Saleen notice that the soldiers following Thinis were all carrying alchemy crossbows.
When setting up a march, caution comes first. When he read the book, Salin didn't even think about it. At that time, he was still a simple magic apprentice, and the only thing he longed for was magic knowledge.
As he was talking, a whistle sounded in the distance, and Salin could understand it now. It was a warning that an enemy was approaching.
"Tinis, go and protect the princess. I have Sika here."
"No, the princess told me not to stay away from you for too long. This is the enemy's harassment. If they are thieves encountered by chance and find out that they are the army, they will retreat. If it was premeditated, there is someone waiting for the princess." Nice said confidently.
Saleen stroked the demon ring in his hand. There were more than twenty third-level scrolls in it. As long as you control it properly, even the bronze sword master can be brought down, and he also has a demon-hunting spider. But with Tinis by his side, he felt safer.
The Bronze Sword Master is also called the Quasi Sword Master. His sword energy can leave the body and hurt people, but he does not have the ability to continuously attack. Saleen is confident that the current magic string is enough to release 48 water pattern shields, which can resist a sword energy attack.
It's a pity that Figaro's magic formula is too difficult. If you have enough time, you can break the sword energy with just one ice blade technique. Now it takes at least half an hour to calculate the weakness of sword energy, and the speed of sword energy is only a few frames slower than magic.
Hearing the alarm, Sikka and Nailisi also came out of the tent. Most of the soldiers who were cooking put on their helmets and picked up their weapons. Only the auxiliary soldiers did not move and were still doing their dirty work.
I have to say that the quality of the soldiers of the Qin Yin Empire is really high. When they were attacked by the enemy just after resting, not even the auxiliary soldiers caused any commotion.
Salin saw it and understood why Emperor Qin Yin wanted to go on an expedition. The empire had been peaceful for hundreds of years, and its military equipment had not slackened. It had been eager to expand. This crisis in Garulan was also an opportunity. It would be a pity for any ambitious person to have such a strong army but not to use it.
Saleen even wondered whether the emperor intentionally allowed the spread of black magicians. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to directly send troops to blockade Phoenix.
In Rex's big tent, four black iron sword masters were surrounding him, and Rex was eating calmly.
The enemy is too far away to pose any threat to the camp. The real enemy may fall from the sky. Although the Silver Sword Master cannot fly as calmly as the Magician, he can use Warcraft.
This time the camp is well established. If you want to attack from the outside, the magic alarm will be triggered first, attracting random arrows. Even if the Silver Sword Master can level the magic trap, the impact speed will be reduced, making it impossible to kill as wantonly as last time.
Salin looked at the night sky. It was the middle of the month, and the bright moon was full and clear, as if it were carved out of crystal. In the sky, a black shadow quickly approached. Saleen smiled. If he came alone, he would look down on the magician too much.
Although the seventh-level magician is no match for the Silver Sword Master, the magician has scrolls. With enough eighth-level scrolls, the Silver Sword Master's advantage can be completely eliminated.
The black shadow grew bigger and bigger against the backdrop of the moon. It was an eagle, with a faint human silhouette on the eagle's back.
Even the black magician's double-headed eagle cannot carry the weight of an adult, and it can be attached to the back of the eagle, at least a strong person at the level of the Black Iron Sword Master.
The Silver Sword Master sent people to harass the outside and went straight to Huanglong alone. Salin didn't know whether he had the courage or a bad mind. This kind of inferior method was difficult to deal with the mercenaries. An accomplice has already died, how dare you do it yourself
A faint figure jumped down from the sky, reaching a height of nearly a hundred meters. Hundreds of crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from around Rex's tent, covering the figure of the Silver Sword Master like a heavy rain.
The eagle that was still in mid-air flicked its wings, and a huge whirlwind appeared out of thin air. A large number of crossbow arrows were caught in it, and a small number of alchemical arrows were rushed away by the Silver Sword Master, without hindering his speed.
Warcraft!
Saleen stood up abruptly. The Silver Sword Master was riding not an ordinary giant eagle, but a monster of at least level five. If the two silver swordsmen had not separated and attacked Princess Rex together, the four black iron swordsmen would have been damaged, and no one of them could be spared.
The giant eagle hovered at a height of more than two hundred meters, and Salin's magic could not reach it at all. Demon-hunting spiders cannot fly, and this puppet has no wings or flying magic circle at all. If the giant eagle comes down, Saleen can use the illusory swamp to control it for a few seconds, allowing the witch-hunting spider to disembowel it.
The Silver Sword Master rushed towards Rex's tent. A visible sword aura appeared in front of his body. This sword aura was several times longer than a spear. With a volley strike, any magic shield below level eight could not withstand it. .
The aura of this swordsmanship is combined with the aura of flying monsters, it is fast, sharp and accurate.
boom!
The silver sword master rushed into the tent with his sword. Salin's eyes were dazzled. The tent was gone. It was clearly a huge stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
Eighth level light magic—real projection.
This magic can only last for one hour, and if it is released with a scroll, the effect will be weakened. Rex seemed to know that there was a sneak attack tonight, so he directly arranged it. It costs tens of thousands of gold coins to wait for a silver sword master. If he doesn't come, the scroll will be in vain.
This wasn't the end yet, the huge rock was surrounded by magical light at the same time. The Silver Sword Master's attack was so powerful that he rushed into the huge rock. At this moment, the magic around the boulder was activated, and Faerun appeared above the boulder, unhurriedly unfolding scrolls one after another, releasing the magic inside.
The enemy is the Silver Sword Master, and he has no regrets. Every time a scroll is unrolled, it means the disappearance of at least fifty thousand, and at most one hundred thousand gold coins.
Salin watched from a distance and finally understood why Aini warned him not to mess with the royal family. The royal family is so rich that even if they can't beat you, they can still kill you with money.
The Silver Sword Master fell into the boulder, and when his sword energy exploded, he was about to break out of the boulder, but the magic circle around the boulder was not in vain. The boulder's hardness increased ten times, and the Silver Sword Master broke through the boulder. The big hole just became a prison, making it impossible for him to move his hands and feet freely.
The sound of rumbling was endless, the eighth-level meteorite technique was released, and a red figure also volleyed down.
The Silver Sword Master stepped back, and the meteorite formed by magic was concentrated on the back of his head. Although the meteorite technique is an earth magic, its temperature is not inferior to that of a fireball. The silver sword master's long and elegant hair immediately burned, and his mind was buzzing. The sword energy can protect the body, but the shock power of the meteorite technique cannot be completely eliminated.
Saleen sighed, a silver sword master was killed by money. If everyone in the Holy See is so stupid, then I don't have to worry too much.
