After a few days of my care, Shen Ruqiu's minor ailments were almost cured. Except for his weak body, he was no different from an ordinary person. As time went by, I learned most of the information about the Xia tribe from him. Except for the lack of on-site impressions, he was no different from the Xia people. Unless he asked me questions thoroughly, it would not be easy to understand my identity.
After many days of contact, Shen Ruqiu not only increased his gratitude towards me, but also reduced his original vigilance towards me to the lowest point. In his mind, I also changed from a scheming person to a kind-hearted fellow countryman.
After several days, Custer City finally welcomed the long-awaited reinforcements. With flags flying and swords and spears shining, the whole team looked like a scene from a 21st century movie, without any trace of rusticity or fatigue caused by a long march.
If the Custer City Defense Forces were beggars in sacks, then what Carson called the Empire's regular main force 103rd Legion was just a group of civilians, while the army in front of them was an elite force that had fought in hundreds of battles.
All soldiers were equipped with armor and weapons that were countless times better than those of the Carsent Legion, including sack suits and leather armor. Even the worst light cavalry in this army wore exquisite leather armor with steel plates inlaid on important parts. The heavy cavalry were no longer just a breastplate like the Carsent heavy knights, with a few pieces of limb armor, but a group of real full-body armor covered in steel helmets (similar to the heavy knights in medieval Europe), and their superiority was self-evident.
In the middle of these cavalrymen marching in two vertical lines towards the city gate, there was a series of luxurious and exquisite carriages. Thinking of what Carsente had said, I thought there must be magicians among them. Thinking of the possibility of learning magic, I couldn't help but feel excited.
The army slowly stopped outside the city gate, and Carsent and the fat pig city lord, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led their men forward to meet them.
The soldiers in front separated, and three knights wearing exquisite full-body armor with various colors and patterns emerged from the cavalry formation. From the exquisite velvet cloaks behind them, I knew that these people were at least legion commanders.
Since none of them wore helmets, I could see their faces clearly. The one in the middle was definitely over 50 years old, with a light white pattern on his armor. He looked kind, but his face was filled with a hint of sadness. I wondered if a guy of that age, who was in a high position, could have anything wrong with him
Judging from the direction of his gaze, he was undoubtedly looking at Commander Carsent. But I felt that he was not looking at his right-hand man, but at his junior or even a relative. Damn, this is not what I should think about. The more I know about this, the greater the threat to my reputation.
The knight on his left was wearing a full-body armor with a fiery red pattern (I learned much later that it was called a magic pattern, which could be combined into a magic circle to strengthen defense or provide counterattack or attack capabilities). The guy was probably in his 20s, but definitely no more than 30 years old. He seemed to be much younger than Carsente! Being the commander of such a powerful legion, whether he was a full-time or deputy commander, was very remarkable. But I called him a guy because of his expression. With his chin raised, his eyes squinting, and his face full of arrogance, he didn't even nod or even glance at the people who greeted him when he saw the group of people coming to greet him.
On the right side of the old man, the knight in khaki full body armor with magic patterns was much more polite. Although he did not dismount or anything, the faint smile on his face, as well as his nods and waves, made me give high marks to this steady and polite legion commander in his 30s.
At the same time, a man got off the carriage behind the old man. He was wearing a white magician's outfit, which was neat and decent. Although I have always been very disgusted with men wearing white clothes, I didn't feel disgusted at all when a magician who was old enough to be my father wore a magician's outfit. I didn't even know why I looked at this very plain-looking magician in this way.
But the first move of the magician after he got off the carriage and stepped onto the ground startled me. A series of inaudible sounds came from the front. If I hadn't been paying attention to him, I probably wouldn't have noticed his rapidly trembling lips. Then, the magician raised the magic staff in his hand, and a strong light shot out from the transparent gem on the top of the magic staff and headed straight for the city wall in the middle.
The sudden change made the city guards who were standing right above the city gate panic, and they almost wanted to draw their arrows and draw their bows. But I was not standing right above the city gate, and I saw that those important people did not react, so I knew that this was definitely not a sneak attack.
When the seemingly soft ball of light reached the top of the city gate, it suddenly exploded, spreading in all directions like fireworks, and then spreading further until it covered an area of 100 meters. But the shining broken lights did not disappear, but fell like snowflakes until they hit an object and disappeared. . . . . .
Seeing that those big shots didn't react, I didn't dodge at all. I watched the people around me dodging and evading strangely, while feeling the body covered by the snowflake-like light.
When the light sank into my body, I clearly felt a feeling of great comfort flowing through my body. Not only was my body comfortable, but even my spirit and strength reached the peak. Oh my god, this is amazing! This is the power of magic, a powerful and extremely practical power. Mysterious magic, incredible magic, although I don’t know what this magic is called, and I don’t know what this magic represents? But at this moment, my heart is already surging with blood. Since I have come to this magical world, in this hopeless situation of going home, why can’t I work hard to become such a strong person
From this moment on, I will move forward towards this goal. On the basis of saving my own life, I will move forward towards this mysterious magical world, never stopping. . . . .
