These five Buck brothers, now Buck, Anke, Boone, and Gates have reached the ninth level, and they all have the strength of the sanctuary after transformation. And the third 'Black Shark' is only one step away, and may break through at any time. Among the five brothers, Buck, Gates, and Black Shark have realized 'lifting weights with ease'.
"After my younger brother's wedding, we will set off for the Chaos Territory. With the help of the five Buck brothers, things will be much easier." Linley's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
In the future, in the head-to-head confrontation with the Holy See of Light in the Chaos Territory, Linley couldn't wait in his heart.
…
Apart from the surprise that 'Boone' reached the ninth level among the five Buck brothers, everyone in the Earl's Mansion was also looking forward to the upcoming wedding banquet, and Wharton was smiling every day.
This time, the wedding banquet of Wharton and Nina was held in the palace, and the level of excitement was far greater than that of the engagement.
In a quiet courtyard.
After finishing his practice, Linley sat down at the stone table, turned over and took out a bottle of fruit wine. While drinking, he looked forward thoughtfully. Looking at Linley's appearance, he was obviously thinking about something.
Beibei glanced at Linley secretly with her small eyes.
"Whoosh." Beibei rushed to Linley's table at once.
Linley was startled by Beibei: "Babe, what are you doing?"
Beibei stood upright, with a pair of front claws wrapped around his chest, and looked at Linley with a scrutiny: "According to my Beibei's eyes, I found out that you are... thinking of spring!"
Bei Bei also had a very sure tone.
Linley didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm thinking of my good brothers. After a while, it will be Wharton's big wedding. But Yale's boss, the second, and the fourth, they can't make it..."
Linley let out a long sigh.
"I don't know how the three of them are doing now." The three good brothers, Yale, Reynolds, and George, indeed held a great deal of weight in Linley's heart, and their feelings were as deep as brothers.
…
Renault is having a bad day, and after a short vacation, he returned to the team again. Even if he knew about the battle between Linley and Hedson, he had no chance to watch it.
Because he is a soldier, he must obey discipline.
Although Reynolds was arrogant, when he was in the army, he was absolutely obedient to orders and a man of his own.
On the border of the southeastern province of the O'Brien Empire, the area to the south of Neil City is the area that borders the Roo Empire, and this area is also the most chaotic place.
The Roo Empire is located to the south of the Chaos Territory and west of the eastern prairie.
The long-term battle with the prairie cavalry has made the Roo Empire extremely sturdy, and this cavalry army is famously powerful. The Roo Empire and the O'Brien Empire have also fought many times in the area south of Neil City. The blood shed by the war made the soil in the countryside turn dark red.
"Hoo!" "Hoo!" The wind whistled, bending the half-human-high weeds. Through the weeds, you could vaguely see dozens of horses bowing their heads and drinking by the creek in the distance. water in the creek.
And dozens of knights are sitting on the ground to rest, and several knights are on guard around.
At this moment, Renault is leaning against a dead tree, his eyes are like falcons looking around. Renault in the army is completely different from usual. At this time, he is wearing dark blue armor, and there is a golden flame mark on his chest. This means that he is a member of the O'Brien Empire's elite army 'Golden Flame Legion'.
His standard armor also shows his rank - Captain.
Renault took out a pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and by five o'clock, everyone else should be there."
"Sir." A blue-haired knight came over and smiled, "Now the Roo Empire and our empire are not fighting. You say that we have been so vigilant for a long time, is it a waste of energy?"
"Huzi, talk less." Renault frowned.
"Yes." The blue-haired knight stopped laughing immediately.
The cavalry brigade led by Reynolds was of low organization, with three squadrons totaling 900 men. And now the 18 squads have been separated out for patrol. The squad led by Renault is also his personal team, the most powerful one.
It has been eight or nine years since entering the army, and Renault has also climbed up step by step from ordinary soldiers.
"Although the Roo Empire and our O'Brien Empire haven't fought for more than ten years. But there are still few small moves in normal times? With such messy battles on the border, the empire kills more than 10,000 soldiers every year." Renault said solemnly, "And according to my estimation, there has been no major war for such a long time. Compared with the population of the Roo Empire, they have reached a limit. I am afraid they also urgently need a war. Therefore, we must be careful."
The meaning of war is simple.
The population is too large, the land is not enough, and the food is not enough. The empire will naturally initiate war on its own initiative, otherwise there will be turmoil within the empire. When both empires have killed and injured a large number of people, there are fewer people, and there is enough land, the war will naturally stop.
In fact, this is the most basic meaning.
After all, for ordinary people, the most basic thing is to eat, drink and live.
"Yes, my lord, we will be careful." The blue-haired knight laughed.
"By the way, my lord, Master Linley, your classmate at the Ernst School of Magic, heard that the battle with Lord Hedson was a dead end?" the blue-haired knight said in a low voice.
Renault couldn't help laughing when he heard his subordinates say lei.
"It's just because the fighting spirit is not as good as the opponent's, so he's a little lost." Renault said indifferently, Renault still had some regrets in his heart, he didn't even watch the good brother's life-and-death battle.
Looking back to the west, the blazing sun made Renault narrow his eyes. His good brother Linley was in the imperial capital of the west.
"In more than a year, when ten years expire, I will leave the army." Renault sighed inwardly.
More than eight years of military life have made Renault really like the army, but Renault also knows the family's rules, the family rules, family disciples join the army for ten years, if they reach the level of division commander and deputy division commander, then they will be in the future. I have been in the army all the time, if I don't reach it, I have to go back to my family.
Renault is now the captain, one step away.
However, although Renault prefers the army, he does not want to be in the army all his life. He still wants to practice magic quietly, and now he is a seventh-level magician. After another 100 years of hard work, there is still a chance to reach the ninth-level great wizard.
While waiting quietly, the various teams gradually converged here. At around 4:50 in the afternoon, there were already 400 people gathered here. Five hundred people did not arrive.
…
"Huh?" Renault frowned suddenly.
He suddenly had a sense of crisis, as if an invisible murderous intention was lurking towards them. Reno was a magician with strong mental power, and this kind of induction was much stronger than ordinary people.
"Be careful!" Renault suddenly shouted coldly.
"Yes, my lord." The surrounding knights responded, but at this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves approached here at high speed from a distance.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The shrill voice pierced the quiet sky.
Almost all the knights responded extremely quickly, grabbed the spears and the shields on their arms, and rushed towards the war horses one by one. But at this moment, a sharp arrow was thrown from a distance—
"Hey!" "Hey!"…
The extremely fast arrows suddenly swept through the sky like locusts, and all the knights immediately knelt down halfway and protected themselves with shields, and the knights nearby immediately approached each other.
The shields of the empire are of good quality. During the war, it is impossible for bows and arrows to penetrate. Indeed, many arrows are shot on the shield. When the shield is shaken, the arrows are unable to fall. However, there are more than a dozen arrows, but they are as if pierced through paper—
"puff!"
An arrow pierced through the shield at high speed, and then directly pierced into the head of a knight, his brain overflowing.
Seeing this scene, Renault felt a pain in his heart. This knight was his personal guard and had followed him for six years. After six years of getting along day and night, the relationship is naturally deep, but Renault judged instantly: "Hundreds of meters away, but shooting through the shield, it is definitely a master, a seventh or eighth fighter. And there are still a lot of them."
"Boom~~" The sound of horse hooves became clear when everyone in the distance approached. This group of people are all wearing gray armor, and the horses' hooves are also wrapped in cloth.
In front of this group of people, there are more than a dozen blood-stained knights running away.
"Rosie." Renault's expression changed, and the dozen or so knights belonged to his team.
"Sir, hurry up, the Roo Empire army, there are thousands of people, hurry-ah!" A blood-stained knight rushed from the side, but in a blink of an eye, an arrow was shot through the throat.
"Kill, leave no one behind!" A cold voice sounded from afar.
"withdraw!"
Renault shouted loudly. There were thousands of enemies and only a few hundred of himself. In addition to the sneak attack from the opponent, the opponent's team was obviously elite, with a lot of 7th- and 8th-level soldiers.
What's more, their responsibility is to 'patrol' and must pass the news back.
The surviving knights immediately jumped on the war horses. Maybe the other party was also greedy for these hundreds of steeds. The arrows just shot at the knights, and the war horses did not suffer any losses.
…
escape!
escape!
Renault only knew how to run away quickly. Nearly 400 people started to flee, but at the moment there were only more than 100 people left. This was the result of Renault using magic to frighten the opponent. While escaping, Renault also chanted the magic spell silently.
Suddenly, with Renault as the center, in the shape of a fan, there are eight flames like a giant sword, rushing away in all directions. The flames of the eight swords rushed directly into the cavalry team chasing behind.
Fire Magic - Flame Slash!
"Chichi~~" The fiery flames slashed at a knight, the knight screamed in agony, his armor melted rapidly, and his whole body turned into coke in an instant. The surrounding wild grass also burned again, and the cavalry team behind had to slow down.
"Chase, chase!!!" The yellow-haired leader glared at Renault in the distance.
If it wasn't for the magician in the distance, they would have killed this group of people long ago. But it is this magician, especially now that it is autumn, the weeds are all withered and yellow, and it will burn at a little bit. And it was a large area when it burned, which completely blocked their pursuit.
Magic power is not infinite.
Raynor didn't dare to issue seventh-level magic at all, he only issued sixth-level magic. But even so, Renault's magic power in the body is now completely consumed.
The Roo Empire is still chasing, but a squadron of 300 people. But this squadron alone has more than a dozen level 7 masters. Clearly the most elite team. Among the remaining nearly 100 people on the side, there is only one seventh-level warrior, plus he is a seventh-level magician.
"Neal City, I saw Neal City!" One of the knights shouted.
"Neal City!" Renault looked at the blurred outline in the distance, and his eyes were full of hope. Riding more desperately to the past.
"Hey!" Another arrow was shot from behind. The exhausted Renault tried to dodge again, and at the same time raised the shield to resist, only to hear 'Pu Chi', the arrow rubbed the edge of the shield and pierced into Renault's shoulder The powerful penetrating force made Reynolds, who was extremely tired at the moment, shake his body and almost fell off his horse.
After running for more than two hours, it was already dark.
There are many soldiers guarding the wall of Neil City, and it seems that there are some nobles who do not know what they are doing.
"Open the city gate, hurry up, there are people from the Roo Empire behind. Kill them!!!" Renault roared loudly.
In the blink of an eye, Renault and other dozens of knights who survived serious injuries ran outside the city of Neil, but the city gate never opened.
"Hey!" An arrow shot directly at the nobles on the city wall.
"Don't open, don't open the city gate!" A shrill voice came from above, "You all shoot me arrows to kill the enemy."
The Roo Empire squadron stopped out of range, and a dozen of them jumped off their horses and charged directly under the city wall. The arrows above, they easily dodged, and the dozens of people all had fighting qi hoods on their surfaces.
mighty warrior.
"Kill that magician." The leader of the dozen people stared at Renault, and he chased him all the way to kill Renault. A magician without magic power, that is too weak.
Renault had no resistance at all at the moment.
"Open the door!" Renault and a group of knights were completely desperate. Although there are dozens of them, the other side has only a dozen people. But just by looking at the other party's grudge, the big guy at the head can completely kill them all.
