The gentle breeze blew through the boundless prairie, and the gentle breeze made the knee-high grass nod frequently. On this green grassland, you can see white dots everywhere.
In the grass, you can occasionally hear the bleating of sheep and the faint barking of sheepdogs.
Such a peaceful scene, absolutely no one would associate it with a bloody battlefield.
But in the distance, a huge new city is right there.
The residents of that city were all brave warriors, and the city was made up of tents.
Those tents are different from the tents of grassland herdsmen. Their outer shells are sewn with five or six layers of thick cowhide, and the outside is coated with a layer of fire-resistant asphalt. From a distance, they look like huge tents. The turtle shell lies on this vast grassland.
These tents are arranged very neatly, each row consists of twenty tents, and ten rows of such tents form an obvious row.
Each group of queues surrounds dozens of tents that are tightly connected in the center.
Among them, the tent in the center is the largest. Although it is just a tent, it shows a magnificent momentum.
The other tents were tightly connected together, looking like the palace of Sophie Kingdom.
Obviously, this arrangement was greatly influenced by Sophie, making these tents look like rolling mountains. A high temporary fence completely separated the inner camp from the outer camp. In addition to this tent, there was also a large open space that played an isolation role.
Patrols wearing heavy armor walked around the *** over and over again.
But what really makes this huge city impregnable is not these patrols, but the two tall sentry towers standing on the east and west sides.
The two sentry towers are at least twenty meters high. The tower at the top is like a huge honeycomb, with countless steel bars firmly welded together, and the hexagonal frames make people feel mysterious.
In this huge hive, there is always a magician sitting there.
He used his mysterious and magical eyes to spy on all the movements within a hundred miles around him.
Even a bird soaring in the sky or a sheep wandering in the grass cannot escape his keen gaze.
In addition to the inner fence, there is also a huge wall built on the edge of the entire city.
Like Grant City, the walls were built with dirt.
Deep trenches can block the enemy's advance, and can also store enough fresh water in spring and summer, and the excavated soil can be used to build walls.
The magical magic made this wall made of soil as solid as a rock. The only regret was that only the outer inch or so became truly hard.
However, even an inch of soil as hard as rock is enough to block most attacks.
It is difficult to find rocks in the vast prairie, and it is even harder to find patches of trees.
Therefore, the huge and powerful catapult has no use here, and the heavy ballistae, although equally powerful, lacks the ability to shock the soul and generate fear.
This is the front camp where the Montita Kingdom has assembled its heavy troops.
Similarly, final preparations are being made here for the upcoming war. This front camp is not just a military camp.
On the west side, the sound of blacksmithing continues all day long, and bundles of wood are piled in the open space in the center of the west side. They will become weapons in the hands of the soldiers to kill the enemy.
Around the camp, the warriors of Montita Prairie are seizing the time to train.
Although the Montita people have trained themselves to become the best warriors in the past years, the harsh environment of Montita has also made them extremely aware of the importance of discipline.
But here, they still have a lot to learn.
Learn how to cooperate with teammates in fighting, learn how to kill enemies, and learn how to save yourself on the battlefield.
Because of this, the grassland was filled with hoarse shouts of death and the sound of rapid horse hooves.
Between the shouts of death and the sound of horse hooves, there was also the sound of bowstrings playing.
All of this is like a majestic march, full of passionate passion and heroic spirit of moving forward.
All the sounds on the grassland seemed to be covered up by this majestic march.
But suddenly, there was a deafening loud noise, which even shook the earth. For a moment, everyone stopped their work, and even the galloping horse slowed down. .
Everyone turned their attention to the place where the loud noise came from, and saw thick smoke billowing from there.
There were bursts of fire swirling in the thick smoke. Even though they were so far away, Montita's soldiers seemed to be able to feel the burning of the flames.
Under the thick smoke, there was already a mess.
A huge tent was completely engulfed in flames, and the surrounding grass was already bare, with mottled marks everywhere.
Being able to leave these traces is definitely not something that can be done in a day.
In fact, the people of Montita have long been accustomed to the explosions that occur every three days and the inexplicable thick smoke. "Now I know that becoming a magician requires greater courage and perseverance."
"Is that the only thing? In my opinion, all magicians need to prepare more lives."
"Isn't this great? After all, when I get to the battlefield, I won't be afraid of anything anymore. There's nothing more terrifying than being next to that person."
"Fortunately, there are not many such characters in this world, otherwise I doubt whether this world would still exist."
Seeing the billowing smoke, everyone couldn't help but talk.
At this moment, Enleco was crawling out of the ruins covered in black.
The "Chaos Crystal Wall" saved his life again.
But the fierce explosion proved that he once again found a way to failure.
Enleco only felt terrible pain in his left shoulder. Although he used the chaotic crystal wall to resist the energy of the explosion, a fragment that was blown away caused him considerable damage.
Enleco couldn't help but be surprised that such a small fragment had such huge power.
Because of this, he was even more glad that he had already deployed the Chaos Crystal Wall before the experiment began. This was definitely a wise move.
Otherwise, the explosion four days ago might have taken away half of his life.
Just as Enleco was grateful for his "survival" again, suddenly, someone rushed towards him from a distance.
Enleco knew this person very well. He was the messenger next to Cecelia and the famous Scud of Montita Prairie.
Even Enleco had to admire the messenger's ability to run. After escaping such a long distance, he suddenly stood still and was not out of breath.
Enleco suspected that among the many tribes in the Montita grassland, there might be a secret to running.
"Master Military Advisor, something urgent has happened. Master Sante orders you to rush to the big tent immediately." The messenger said.
The word "command" seemed so harsh to Enleco.
As a commoner, the son of a grocery store owner, the word "order" made him feel uncomfortable.
It's a pity that we are now in a state of war, and he is one of the most important members of the army.
Even Enleco himself felt funny. He never thought that one day he would be involved in a war.
In fact, no one in the Sophie Kingdom likes war at all. After all, they have spent nearly five hundred years of peace.
In the Sophie Kingdom, military service has become a profession, and service is a way for ordinary people to be promoted among the nobility.
Because of this, knights from a family like Kate are often treated as chiefs or nobles.
In the peaceful Kingdom of Sophie, there is little meaning in establishing meritorious service on the battlefield.
The common people were far away from the war. In fact, the upper echelons of Sophien were worried about Kaoqi's imminent invasion. However, the common people, including Enleco, continued to live their leisurely and peaceful lives. This is completely different from the tense atmosphere of Kaoqi and Leiding, because from the Sophie's perspective, war is a matter for soldiers.
Enleco thought the same way at the beginning.
As soon as he thought of this, Enleco could only shake his head helplessly.
He followed the famous Scud towards the camp.
Enleco's embarrassed appearance did not surprise others.
After all, everyone heard the deafening explosion.
In fact, Enleco has long been regarded as a monster in the minds of everyone because he was able to survive such a terrible explosion.
"Failed again?" Cecilia said lightly.
"It seems that there are still many problems waiting to be revealed about the true nature of magical energy." Enleco said with a heavy sigh.
"I am almost certain that unless a miracle happens, it will be absolutely impossible to apply all my ideas in practical aspects before the war begins." Enleco frowned and said.
"Maybe you are too worried. In fact, I am increasingly doubting that the war will not come as quickly as we expected." Cecilia said.
In Enleco's view, this should have been something to be thankful for.
But when he saw all the people gathered together in the big tent, their faces were filled with sadness.
He knew immediately that something bad had happened.
"What did your scouts find?" Enleco asked.
"Our strategist, please pay attention to your words. You are already a member of this place. What you said by 'you' is a bit unreasonable." Cecilia said coldly.
After saying this, the great magician queen finally returned to the topic, "I almost lost an excellent magician, but he brought us important information."
"We have been wondering some time ago why, although the Kaoqi people have mobilized heavy troops to enter the territory of Montita, they did not go too far into the Montita grassland and just stopped a hundred miles away from the border. pace."
"Now it seems that the Kaoqi people are not in a hurry to start a war. Although the magician managed to escape with a narrow escape, he saw something incredible."
"The Kaoqi people are actually busy building fortifications. This is what we should be doing."
Hearing what Cecelia said, Enleco couldn't help but frown. He couldn't guess why the Kaoqi people did this.
Although he pretended to be impressive in the City in the Clouds that day, as if he was truly a wise military genius, as if he truly possessed that amazing talent, only Enleco himself knew that what he could rely on was the three The defeated general from ten thousand years ago.
Even Enleco himself had little confidence in whether he could win this war relying on Most's wisdom.
In fact, he didn't even have confidence that Most would be willing to help him.
Enleco had already discovered that since Most recovered her lost power in the temple of the God of Wisdom, she was no longer as obedient to her requests as before.
Just like at this moment, Enleco sent out signals for help again and again, but at the other end of his spiritual channel, Most, who was staying somewhere comfortably, had no intention of responding at all. Now Enleco had no countermeasures. He had to ask: "What do you think?"
No one knows that Enleco actually has no idea in his heart. This guy is actually pretending to be an expert. However, most of the people gathered here are not much better than Enleco.
The Kingdom of Montita is full of warriors with strong martial arts and superb archery skills.
However, it is quite difficult to find one or two clear-minded and well-organized commanders. Although this tent is full of elders, the number of muscles here clearly exceeds that of brains.
And the only few characters whose wisdom exceeds strength are not good at military affairs like Enleco.
However, these people who grew up on the Montita grassland knew more about war than the son of the grocery store owner in the small town of Sophien Kingdom, and the leader among them was undoubtedly the resourceful old king.
"I didn't expect that the Kaoqi people would choose this method." The old man said with a heavy sigh.
Hearing this sigh, many people in the tent were infected, but God knows how many of them actually saw the trouble. After a while, the old man continued: "If my guess is not wrong, The Ka'aoqi people must be planning to adopt a strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field."
"Strengthening the wall and clearing the country is definitely not a clever strategy, but it is also the most difficult to break. Kaaoqi's strong national power makes it very suitable for them to adopt such a strategy."
"They have enough manpower and enough supplies to support such a long and time-consuming war."
The old man's words were simply baffling to Enleco.
In fact, he didn't even know much about the so-called strong walls and clear fields.
"Can you explain to everyone the strategy adopted by the Kaoqi people?" Enleco couldn't help but ask.
The old man did not notice that the person who really knew nothing was the military advisor who was highly respected by everyone.
He nodded and said: "The so-called strong wall and clearing the field is to suppress the opponent's freedom of action through extensive construction of fortifications."
"This method seems extremely stupid and clumsy, but for us Montita people, it is a fatal tactic. In the past, we were able to defeat Kaoqi's invasion. In addition to relying on the solid defense of the City in the Cloud, Also because we were able to successfully disrupt their supplies."
"However, once the opponent uses the tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, our attack will become extremely difficult, because the defenses all over the grassland are like fences and fences, restricting our steps."
"And Kaoqi's supply line will be firmly protected by that blockade. Unless we are willing to pay a huge price, we will never be able to shake them at all."
The old man's explanation finally made Enleco understand how bad the situation in front of him was.
He would never dare to say anything about this kind of thing.
In fact, he felt more and more that he had been placed in a position that he could not get down from, which made him feel extremely sad and scared.
You know, this is not in Stryer County, and what he is facing is not those believers of the Goddess of Life.
This is a war, not a revolution in Strayer County, where a small mistake can lead to the death of countless people.
From the bottom of his heart, Enleco made requests to the evil monster again and again, and even promised high interest rates to the terrible loan shark.
Perhaps it was because of his efforts that Most was moved, but more likely, it was the benefits gained from it that moved Most. At this moment, the evil monster suddenly emerged from the depths of his soul.
He touched Enleco's heartstrings and said slowly: "With your strength, what difficulties do you have in dealing with that army?"
"Whether it's using blood spells or spiritual storms, we can easily make those Kaoqi people retreat to the border."
"It only takes a few thousand troops to be eliminated, and all the Kaoqi people will definitely lose their fighting spirit."
Enleco did not dare to compliment Most's suggestion at all. The last thing he wanted was for others to know his existence.
What's more, he is a Sophie after all, and a peace agreement has just been signed between the Sophie Kingdom and Kaoqi.
If he suddenly used a forbidden spell to attack the Kaoqi people at this moment, wouldn't the world think that Sophie had violated the sacred peace agreement? Because of this, Enleco was unwilling to adopt Most's suggestion anyway .
What's more, he is also worried that if he doesn't use the forbidden spell in this situation, will Kaoqi retaliate for this
And that terrible revenge will most likely fall on the Sophie Kingdom.
After all, compared with Montita, the Kingdom of Sophie has more suitable targets, and the best target is undoubtedly Xina, the second largest city that is very close to his hometown.
There, there were his closest companions, as well as the elder he once respected and admired - Master Corens.
Because of this, Enleco couldn't even imagine it.
He absolutely does not have the courage to shoulder this huge and terrible responsibility.
"Since you don't plan to do this, then I have to warn you that it is difficult for me to give you a way to guarantee victory. Because apart from not being afraid of death, these Montita people are really useless, their numbers are small, and they are extremely lacking. Magician’s cover.”
"But those Kaoqi people have all the advantages. They are not only well prepared, but also obviously have a clear strategy. In addition, this kind of strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is really difficult to crack."
"This method of warfare is like a tortoise. Except for the extremely slow progress, there are almost no flaws or weaknesses."
Most's words made Enleco feel helpless.
He could imagine how difficult the turtle was to deal with. The heavy armored infantry once dominated the battlefield for nearly a hundred years with its amazing defensive power. The decline of the heavy armored regiment was not due to the emergence of a unit that could restrain it.
On the frontal battlefield, the heavy armored regiment is still a nearly invincible unit.
This clumsy tactic used by the Kaochi people now. It is undoubtedly a massive heavy armored corps. "So, is there any way to deal with this tactic?" Enleco asked sadly.
"Haven't you heard that correct strategy is based on accurate intelligence?"
Most said disapprovingly: "If you don't want the Montitas to die blindly, it's best to go to the front line yourself."
"With your strength, even if you don't want to use forbidden spells to deal with those Kaoqi people, you can always hide your body from others." After Most said this, she disappeared without a trace.
Enleco stood there blankly, while other people who didn't know what happened looked at Enleco quietly.
"Have you got any ideas? Our strategist?" Archmage Cecilia asked, and she deliberately emphasized the word "we".
"Ah - the correct strategy is based on accurate intelligence. I plan to go and conduct reconnaissance myself. Wrong countermeasures will cause us to destroy ourselves." Enleco said.
His words made everyone nod.
However, Enleco guessed that maybe no matter what he said, the unicorn elders would all nod in agreement, which made him even more panicked.
On the vast Montita prairie, more than 150 kilometers away from the border of the Kingdom of Fertiland, an astonishing number of legions were stationed.
However, completely different from ordinary legions, the largest number of people here are not warriors wearing armor and helmets, but hard-working coolies with bare spines.
Real soldiers wore heavy armor and cautiously faced the mysterious prairie around them. For them, the Kingdom of Montita is also full of mystery.
This place was once considered a cursed land, with countless wolves, terrifying storms, and the most mysterious monsters, all of which make people feel creepy and shuddering.
However, every Kaoqi person is full of expectations for this mysterious land.
In their minds, there are endless treasures under the Montita Prairie.
In their imagination, Montita's city in the clouds was decorated with exquisite silks and satins everywhere, and even the poorest people wore clothes made of this gorgeous and expensive fabric.
According to legend, the silk in the City in the Clouds is more abundant than the cloth woven from wool, and the gold exchanged for these silks covers every inch of the ground in the City in the Clouds.
In addition, there is the exquisite porcelain, which is also an item that makes Kaoqi people excited. Because any piece of exquisite porcelain can be sold at an excellent price with them.
In addition to silk and porcelain, these Kaoqi people also wanted to capture several Montita women.
According to legend, the Montita women are not only extremely beautiful, but also have extremely superb craftsmanship.
They are the best cooks and also the best tailors.
In addition, they are also perfect beauties in the bedroom.
According to rumors, a man who has a Montita woman as his wife seems to be living in paradise.
As for the herds of cattle and sheep, as well as the best horses in the world, all these are not included.
Anyway, in the eyes of these Kaoqi soldiers, the mysterious grassland in front of them is a land with unlimited opportunities. However, they are also very aware of the terror of the Montita people.
Everyone knows that the Montita people are the best soldiers. They are brave and fierce, and they don't know the horror of death. Moreover, they are like a strong wind sweeping through the grassland.
No one is more familiar with war horses than they are.
Any Montita man can easily leave Kaoqi's best riders behind.
It is simply impossible to catch their traces.
The only good thing is that there are no rich mineral deposits on this vast grassland, and there is not even iron ore produced here.
According to legend, the Montitas used sharpened sticks in battle, and only the most elite members of the Unicorn Corps were qualified to equip the famous Montita cavalry scimitars.
Although the reputation of the Unicorn Corps spreads far and wide, they don't even have thin armor, and a stone can cause them serious injuries.
Because of this, these fierce Montita people can only use their flesh and blood to resist the sharp swords in their hands.
And their thick armor doesn't have to worry about being pierced by wooden sticks.
Because of this, these Kaoqi soldiers really couldn't figure out why these fortifications were built. On the vast grassland, behind them for protection, there were two deep trenches extending into the distance. Go, you can't even see the end of the trench.
The two trenches were dug deep enough to keep even the tallest man from uncovering his head.
These trenches also appeared to be wide enough for three carriages to move abreast underneath.
The excavated soil was piled up into thick walls.
Looking at the earth wall parallel to the deep ditch, it was absolutely certain that no war horse could cross this obstacle.
The deep ravines and towering earth walls all extend for several kilometers, and six deep longitudinal trenches connect all the trenches together.
And the gentle slope even allows the carriage to drive down the ravine very conveniently.
But the real defense is the fortress. It is precisely because of its existence that this line of defense seems insurmountable.
These soldiers had no way of guessing how many fortifications like this there were; however, they knew at least one thing - when they set off from the garrison and entered this vast grassland, what they saw was an entire southern regiment. .
Suddenly, a harsh sound of cornet resounded through the originally peaceful grassland.
What followed was the noisy sound of horse hooves. Two cavalry squads, each consisting of twenty people, flew towards the distance on a bridge made of thick wooden boards laid over the trench.
At the same time, in the camp in the distance, three thin figures were slowly rising into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers knew that the Montitas had sent scouts to reconnoiter the situation here.
I wonder if the soldiers sent this time are soldiers or magicians flying in the air? But what is absolutely certain is that neither soldiers nor magicians can escape their pursuit.
Since a Montita magician escaped unexpectedly yesterday, three more magicians were sent from above.
The bugles sounded louder and louder, and the patrol team that left quickly quickly searched every inch of the surrounding land carefully.
And the three magicians worked even harder. They flew high and high, as if they were afraid of being blocked by the earth.
However, this time it was beyond everyone's expectations. No matter how they opened their eyes, they couldn't see a single figure.
After a while, the bugle changed to another tone.
The soothing sound of the trumpet was obviously calling the searching patrols and the three magicians to return to their original posts.
At this time, Enleco was standing on the edge of the trench.
He raised his head and glanced at the deep trench.
The invisibility magic made him disappear in front of everyone, and the rational heart in his arms made the detection magic useless to him.
The only thing he was worried about now was the series of footprints left by accidentally stepping on the excavated soil. Other than that, he was not worried at all that he would be exposed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the sling was lowered, Enleco followed the patrols and passed the rows of suspension bridges. That fortress aroused his strong interest.
In Enleco's view, the fortress was indeed an extremely exquisite design.
The structure of this fortress is extremely simple, but it is definitely not an easy task to break through such a fortress.
In fact, although this fortress is far inferior to the walls of Grant City, Enleco is absolutely certain that when the thick walls of Grant City collapse, this fortress will most likely still stand here.
Deep trenches were also dug around the fortress, and the excavated soil raised the ground by nearly five meters.
This thick earth platform is the base of the fortress, and it has also become the most indestructible defense of the fortress.
Perhaps powerful magic can destroy a ten-meter-thick wall made of the hardest granite, but it is obviously unable to destroy the entire five-meter-high foundation.
A straight ramp runs through the entire fortress, and the other end of it is the only entrance and exit of the fortress.
Enleco slowly walked up the ramp to the fortress. All around him were workers working hard. The huge winch made a creaking sound, and the wooden hammers used by the workers to beat the earth platform also banged. Here, the shirtless workers are reinforcing the wall.
The inside of the five-meter-high wall is covered with sloping steps.
The wall plus the base are nearly ten meters high. Although this is far from the tallest wall, as a fortress, it is already impregnable.
The entire fortress is circular. Enleco estimated that the diameter of the fortress is at least three hundred meters. A fortress of this size can probably accommodate one or two thousand people.
After walking around the fortress, Enleco saw many workers crowding around a well pit on the left.
The pit is two meters square in length and width, and is firmly supported by thick wooden boards around it. A huge winch is placed on the top, and a wooden elevator is hung on the winch.
Although Enleco really wanted to go down and have a look, it was too dangerous after all. He could not guarantee that he would not be discovered by others when he was mixed up in the elevator, nor could he guarantee that after being discovered, he could quietly get out of this narrow place. Escape from the pit.
However, he guessed that there might be a barracks underneath the pit.
Although living in a cave is definitely not comfortable, it is undoubtedly the safest place. The five-meter-thick foundation is probably the strongest roof.
Unless the meteorites floating in the universe are summoned from the distant starry sky and turned into meteors to hit the fortress, it will be difficult to find a magic that can inflict truly fatal damage to the soldiers hiding inside.
Around the fortress, he saw another interesting design. Countless tunnels were dug out of the thick city wall.
These tunnels were just enough for him to pass sideways, and at the end of the tunnels, there happened to be a shooting opening.
Just as Enleco was marveling at all this, he was also guessing who had such a genius and could actually design such a perfect fortification: suddenly, he felt that someone was gathering magic power, and from the characteristics of the magic fluctuations It seemed that it was definitely not any kind of magic that I was familiar with.
It was just when Enleco was still hesitating whether he should choose to retreat or hide in this hidden space, a faint light of sacred magic penetrated the thick soil and moved towards the distance. Swing away.
This faint light of sacred magic is like a small stone gently breaking the surface of the water, and the ripples caused are like the rain that moistens the earth and slowly penetrates into the earth.
Enleco had no way of guessing what the mysterious sacred magic did. In fact, he didn't feel any harm at all.
Just like other magic fluctuations, the rational heart gently pushed the light of sacred magic away from both sides, so the light did not shine on him at all.
Just when Enleco was guessing what happened, the same "wave of light" rippled towards here.
In Enleco's feeling, this "wave of light" was denser than the one just now.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition, and as if to confirm his premonition, another "wave of light" followed.
This time, Enleco was almost certain that his figure had been exposed.
Enleco didn't even think about it, and immediately recited the quicksand spell quickly.
With a finger of his right hand, the shooting hole that was originally only a gap suddenly turned into sand, revealing a huge crater.
Enleco flew out of the tunnel, and he immediately flew into the air at the fastest speed.
Almost at that moment, two extremely sharp wind blades struck the earth wall behind Enleco.
Although the earth walls were beaten extremely hard, they were still unable to withstand the power of magic without being solidified by magic, and a large chunk of the thick earth walls was chipped away.
But at this moment, Enleco was already invisible and flying into the air. He did not dare to stop at all, because the "wave of light" behind him had chased him over again.
Enleco didn't want to be used as a target by the magicians. He practiced attacking with wind blades and wanted to escape from the competition. In this world, it was really difficult for anyone to surpass Enleco.
He was like wind and lightning. After a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace. Only three magicians were left in the blue sky, looking at the sky and sighing.
But at this moment, they obviously already have a person's name in their minds.
In the military camp next to the fortress, in a huge magic circle, an old magician was sitting in it, and there was a priest sitting next to the old magician.
This believer of the God of War is busy getting in touch with the distant place. The "God of War's Beacon" has been sent out, but there has been no response from the distant place.
Everyone was waiting anxiously, waiting for the priest of the God of War to bring orders from afar.
"Master, are you sure that is indeed Sophie's little forbidden spell mage?" Unable to bear the silence, the well-dressed officer couldn't help but ask.
"I never said I doubted it was anyone. It's just that he was able to cast invisibility magic while flying through the air."
"Didn't I ask my three companions and your subordinates to go out urgently and search the surrounding area? Among so many people, no one saw any sign of the snoop. Doesn't this serve as proof?"
"What's more, when the snoop landed on the ground, he immediately disappeared without a trace. Even my magic couldn't find his whereabouts."
"As far as I know, there is only one kind of magic that can do this. In fact, it is to deal with this kind of magic that the priests of the God of War are asked to cooperate with us."
"But you should know how to deal with this matter. After all, you are the person appointed by Duke Hegeero to take up this position."
Hearing this, the officer smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes and ears. You have magical abilities that I don't have."
"I think you also know that there is no need to spread this matter around. Even the highest officer here, the Baron, does not need to know. We can say that this is just an accident. Anyway, the loss is only a section of the earth wall. That’s all.”
The old magician nodded: "I am not interested in participating in your game. I just want to know when all the work will be over."
"As long as I complete the final casting, this fortress will be officially completed, and I will be able to get a temporary rest and no longer have to stay in this crude place."
The officer nodded repeatedly and said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, there is almost only one job left, which is to wrap a few layers of barbed wire on the exterior of the fortress, and then wait for you to show off your magic. "
"And this work can definitely be completed within two days. To be honest, according to the original plan, this fortress should be completed in about a week. If I exceed the time by too much, I am afraid that Duke Haguero will not be able to complete it in the first place. Will let me go."
The magician was not at all interested in the officer's obedience. He said calmly: "I hope the pavilion cannot be completed on time, but you'd better not cut corners in order to rush the work, especially those dozens of magic arrays. As long as one is built, There must be some omissions, I am afraid that neither you nor I can explain it in front of the Duke."
The officer nodded repeatedly, obviously he also understood the importance of this matter.
Otherwise, Duke Hagriro would not have specifically assigned himself to take charge of this work, let alone assign the old magician to assume the role of supervisor.
"The storm may come again in seven or eight days, so you'd better speed up the process, otherwise you may not have time to build another fortress before the storm comes." The old magician said coldly.
"Yes, Master, I understand that my responsibilities are important. I will order the soldiers to work overnight to make up for all the lost time." The officer said respectfully.
"Those Feltilans are really pitiful. They have been completely betrayed by their king." The old magician said lightly.
The officer nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He naturally understood what the old magician meant.
"I will make them work harder, and I will give the most severe punishment to those who are lazy." The officer said immediately. In the distance, Enleco circled around and turned back. Inadvertently, he saw Something fishy arrived. He slowly landed on the ground, and the power of his rational heart once again completely enveloped him.
The vast prairie was filled with pastures that were undulating in the wind, but among the green grass, he saw a lonely earthen platform.
The earthen platform was only knee-high and about two meters in diameter. In the center was a disc inlaid. The disc was made of bronze and there was a deep pit in the center.
Enleco guessed that this disc might be used to fix something. Almost instantly, countless possibilities popped up in his mind.
Perhaps, this is a platform used to set up a monitoring magic circle: perhaps, this is where the soldiers of the Magic Corps are stationed.
He clearly felt that under this platform, there happened to be a chakra where the magical energy was rich and concentrated.
And through some strange method, part of the huge energy that filled the world was extracted and condensed in the center of the platform.
The concave hole is like a fountain, continuously emitting the energy of the earth.
Enleco gently placed his hands on the metal disc.
He slowly penetrated his spiritual power into the ground through the magical power of the rational heart.
Suddenly, he felt that the earth was like a dense spider web, with countless energies intertwined.
This thick soil, this vast expanse of land, is like an unimaginably huge sponge, but in addition to water, this sponge absorbs the powerful energy from the storm.
Enleco tried his best to let his mental power extend in all directions.
He was becoming more and more certain that this was definitely not man-made, it was a miracle that nature had taken thousands of years to create.
Enleco tried his best to distinguish the huge energy that was sucked into the soil.
The thick and dignified breath of earth, the power of the unrestrained wind, and the feeling of the long and moist water. The only thing missing is the fire that destroys everything.
Perhaps the land of Montita is as disgusting as the people it breeds.
This made Enleco feel slightly relieved. At least these energies could not be directly used by the Magic Corps.
After all, among Kaoqi's army, what originally worried him the most was the magic corps he created himself.
In fact, he had also made efforts, hoping to establish a magic corps in the Montita Kingdom that could compete with it.
But what he regretted most was that the Montita people seemed to be born with no connection with fire.
Although among them. There is no shortage of people with magical talents, but most of them only have a keen sense of the earth and water elements.
Occasionally, there will be one or two people who can control the power of wind. The proportion of these people is only about 10%, and people who can practice fire magic are very rare.
In fact, even a powerful mage like Cecelia is not proficient in the power of fire. Although she can throw one or two fireballs and blow up a whirlwind of fire, she The ability to cast these magics probably relies on the powerful magic power second only to Kobe Leo.
Because of this understanding, Enleco is not very worried now about how to fight against the heavy armored regiments of the Kaoqi Kingdom.
The heavy armored corps blessed with divine protection can be completely resisted by warriors who use earth magic to strengthen their defense. Moreover, compared with the slowly advancing heavy armored corps, the Montita warriors are much more flexible because Montita was born and raised. The magicians are absolutely different from the magicians in other kingdoms.
From a certain perspective, they are more like the barbarians of the Zuledin Kingdom.
The magical power they possess actually comes from their love for this vast land, and their unimaginable magic power actually comes from their knowledge of the land, which is something Enleco can hardly understand no matter what. things.
What makes him even more confused is that in a sense, almost all Montita people have the talent to become excellent magicians, and this talent does not seem to diminish with age.
In fact, those old men who are already beyond the average age of the Montita people actually have the best talents, which is absolutely abnormal in other kingdoms.
In the Sophie Kingdom, once a person enters middle age, he loses the possibility of becoming a magician. The only regret now is the lack of time.
Perhaps, only by using Chris's method can the Kingdom of Montita escape from this difficult period, which was originally what Enleco wanted to see least.
Originally, Enleco tried his best to avoid using those simple grassland people as experimental materials.
The experiment that Chris conducted was exactly about the transformation of the human body.
This kind of experiment has already begun. In the tribe, Chris transformed Lila and Xiao Kangdan into powerful warriors. However, such transformation would not cause too big a problem.
After all, Enleco himself went through similar methods and gained strong combat effectiveness.
But now, the transformation that Chris has carried out is completely different. It is no longer just a transformation of the body. In fact, in Enleco's view, Chris actually parasitized a semi-living body on normal people. inside the body. This parasitic form allows the parasitized person to invoke specific magical energy.
And the magic arrays engraved on their bodies enable them to cast specific magic.
This kind of created magician is obviously no longer a real human being.
Even Enleco himself didn't know how to view them, and he couldn't even be sure whether this transformation would cause harm to them.
After all, what they rely on to gather magic energy is the core crystal, not their own mental power.
High concentrations of magical energy and magical elements can cause damage to body organs and tissues.
Because of this, most magicians are not in very good health.
After all, magicians gather magic power through mental power, but their powerful magic power is dispersed all over the body, so the concentration is much smaller than that of people who use this method to gather magic power. Naturally, the damage they suffer is also much smaller. many.
Because of this, Enleco has always felt very guilty. For the same reason, he has been trying his best to prevent Chrissy's discovery from being dismissed by everyone.
But now it seems that this is the only way that the Kingdom of Montita can have enough strength. Only this way can this country with an extremely small number of magicians have enough strength to compete with the Kaoqi Magic Corps. .
Thinking of this, Enleco let out a long sigh. He gently opened his arms and slowly raised his body into the air, scanning the vast prairie.
With his keen perception of magical energy due to mental vibration, Enleco seemed to be able to see other earth platforms that were exactly the same as the one under his feet, densely hidden in the grass.
These earth platforms are scattered very regularly.
If the Montita grassland is like a piece of beautiful green soft fur, then these soil platforms are the markings on the fur.
These markings are well-proportioned and neatly arranged, neither alienating nor overcrowding.
Just as Enleco frowned and felt all this, suddenly, the weak energy of detection magic came from the distance. At the same time, above the trench in the distance, the suspension bridge was lowered again.
Blowing the bright bugle, the patrol was once again ready to go, and in the far rear, the three magicians took off again.
Seeing this tense stance, Enleco had no choice but to turn around and fly towards the distance.
