Two hundred and thirty one, under the endless plain of Elion
"It is said that the knights of Elion will gallop on the endless plains to compete with each other's equestrian skills.
And outsiders simply cannot get out of this magical plain, and will be trapped forever running wildly on that endless plain until death comes!
I just heard about it at first, but now I see it’s really not a joke.”
Looking at the endless plains of Elion in front of him, Carter, who used his Sharingan to its full potential, saw nothing but an endless column of grass and stones.
This is a place where the space has been distorted by magic. Without anyone to guide you, once you enter and get lost in it, it is inevitable.
When elves from various countries want to go to Elion, most of the time they choose the sea route to White Flame City, their largest port city, rather than taking the land route.
"Let the troops set up camp temporarily, but not according to wartime standards. I believe our new members will not keep us waiting that long!"
As soon as the order came out, the elves who had been traveling for several days felt like they had been given amnesty. Especially the soldiers in the new barracks quickly set up their tents and began to rest and eat after the division was completed.
They still need time to adapt to the transition from civilians to soldiers, but Carter will not make it too easy for them. He values the soldiers recruited from various countries, especially the Charis White Lion Chariot Troop who has formed a small team at this time.
.
The chariot force consists of 24 fines and 24 white lions, with 12 double-riding chariots. In order to give them strong impact capabilities, Carter spent a lot of money to arm those white lions to the teeth. From the head to the body
The claws are all protected with leather or metal, and there is a spike on the top of the head.
At the border between Avalon and Elion, a temporary military camp covering an extremely large area soon appeared, with white tents connected together.
Sure enough, just as Carter guessed, the Elion Elves did not keep everyone in the First Corps waiting for too long.
When more than 700 knights, holding lances and shields, line up in a row and slowly approach you, the overwhelming momentum makes it easy for people to lose three points of momentum before they start fighting.
Carter, who came to the military camp and saw this scene, couldn't help but smile and said: "This is a demonstration."
After saying that, he directly mounted the tall Bucephalus and walked more than a hundred meters out of the military camp as a courtesy to receive the cavalry troops who were about to join the First Corps.
Carter looked at them like a bachelor looking at a beautiful woman, especially the two hundred silver-helmeted knights walking in the middle, whose appearance shone in the sunlight, which made him salivate even more.
"The armored troops and heavy cavalry of the Cold Weapon Age! I finally have them."
Everyone says that good fortune never comes in pairs and misfortunes never come singly, but Carter's luck was quite good today. Just as he was waiting for the Arion cavalry to approach, he heard a burst of eagle whistles in the air, and raised his head to see dozens of giants.
The eagle dives slowly downward from high altitude to prevent the passengers on its back from being unable to breathe due to the high speed.
"The giant eagle troops are here too! Huh? Some of them carry two people on their backs. Could it be that the ten natural and life magicians we agreed to come with them?"
"The leader of the Monster Hunting Group complies with the order of the Supreme Lord Council and comes to join the Nagaryth First Corps!"
Knight Elion came to Carter first. According to tradition, only the Silver Helmet Knight who performed best in the last battle is qualified to hold the banner of the Knights as the flag bearer and walk at the front, and even if this knight is riding on
The knight on the shorter horse, who was still as tall as Carter, was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Welcome everyone to join us, let us work together to kill all the evil that dares to step into Ulthuan!"
Even if they are elves, most of those who can become knights have a love of adventure and a chivalrous heart. Carter's somewhat unreasonable opening remarks instantly aroused their goodwill.
The favorite thing for the knights of Elion to do on a daily basis is to hunt the beasts and monsters that run down from the Anul Mountains, and they often hunt voluntarily without asking for anything in return. The chivalry of the Bretonnian knights is obviously caused by
, the influence of the Lady of the Lake as an elf god, and the source of her image of the knight is most likely the Knight of Erion.
"Destroy all evil!!"
The tall knight who took the lead immediately responded to Carter's speech by holding up a large banner with the image of a war horse.
The seven hundred knights, who were riding pure-blooded horses with extraordinary momentum, uniformly raised their lances and shouted three times in unison, "Cut! Cut! Cut!"
After shouting, the knight who took the lead directly inserted the big book into the soil, took off his helmet and revealed the short hair that is rare among elves, and said: "The hunting group is willing to fight with the first regiment. I am Alitox Iskan."
Da!"
"How can you kill the lackeys of Chaos without us, the Eagles?!"
Accompanied by an eagle's whistle, the giant eagle carrying two passengers flapped its wings and descended. The wind pressure brought by the waving wings blew the grass on the plain until it could not stand upright.
"By the order of Her Majesty the Eternal Queen, come and join the First Corps! My name is Violet Eve"
The giant eagle knight, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and armor, jumped down easily after his partner stabilized himself. Also coming down with him was a female mage with almost no hair. Her indifferent eyes and dark green hair made her naturally calm.
His identity is about to come out.
"Guardian of nature, same as above." The female mage stretched out a hand to play with a lock of hair. She didn't feel the strange looks from around her at all. She still maintained her own attitude of 'returning' to nature, using the wind of nature.
As the main goal of training, both men and women dislike wearing clothes. Now that she is willing to cover the key parts, it is already a great honor. The same goes for the natural method who is coming off the back of the giant eagle one after another.
Those mages who majored in the wind of life looked much normal, wearing regular mage robes and special headdresses representing the wind of life.
Carter, who had long known about the nature mage's eccentric temperament, did not force anything further.
After coughing slightly awkwardly, Carter said, "Ahem, welcome everyone! I believe you are all tired from the journey. Come back to camp with me to rest for a while before making arrangements!"
Carter, who was in a good mood, led them into the temporary camp.
The leaders of these reinforcements were received in a large tent.
…
Night soon came, and by talking to Alitox, the leader of the Elion cavalry, the spirits who were more curious about the endless plains of Elion finally understood the reason why it was best for outsiders not to step in casually.
The Elion Plain is shrouded in a special range of magic. If you don't know the special spells, once you enter, you will walk on the never-ending plain until you die of hunger, thirst, or exhaustion.
However, this magic was not specially set up by the Elion elves, but had existed since the birth of Ulthuan, and many horse kings among pure-blooded elven war horses can rely on instinct and intuition to run back and forth on the endless plains at will without worrying.
Lost.
Therefore, if you want to enter and leave the Endless Plains, the stupidest way is to find and tame a horse king. In the beginning, the Elion elves controlled the Endless Plains through this method.
Later, relying on the mage's research and the blessing of the gods, they were able to enter and exit independently through less 'stupid' methods.
"Your Excellency, Corps Commander, I have a request."
After briefly explaining the characteristics of the Endless Plains, Alitox suddenly said.
"Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
"This is not a big deal. It's just that there were reports from sentries before departure that another wild beast had sneaked down from the Anunu Mountains and spread around the border."
"They are all rock monsters and mutated beasts. What I mean is that on the way to the pass, we are allowed to send some scouts to look for their traces. If they are found, let our hunting team take care of them by the way to avoid harassment.
Innocent people.”
When Carter, who was eating venison, heard this, he immediately grinned: "Since we are removing harm for the people, why don't you ask for anything? Anyway, the Corps will send out scouts. Let them pay attention when the time comes and find a convenient one."
Just destroy it. I haven’t been active recently, and my martial arts skills are almost rusty. I’ll use it to practice my skills when I encounter one!”
Carter, who was in a good mood, continued talking with the new generals to strengthen their understanding of each other.
[The only thing left behind is the few dragon princes and giant dragons who haven’t arrived yet]
But what he is thinking about most now is the dragon.
…
The next day, after several rounds of personnel replenishment and a night's rest to strengthen the troops, the First Corps started marching again in order to reach the Dragon Pass within the twenty-day deadline.
"Legion Commander, why did you replace your hand ax with this war hammer?"
On the march, Astolfo, who passed by Carter, curiously looked at the two warhammers on his waist and asked.
"It's a bit troublesome to explain. I'll show it to you when I get the chance."
"oh……"
Carter casually fooled him and covered up the matter. It wasn't that he wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but it was really troublesome to explain. It would be easier to understand if he really showed it when he had the opportunity.
The past few days at the Rock of Eternity were relatively peaceful overall, so Carter took the time to go to the Naruto World several times to strengthen his current lack of ninjutsu.
Although he only learned a small ninjutsu, it benefited him greatly.
Moreover, Carter also discovered that like Erzhu, he had a thunder-fire adaptable physique, but because the thunder attribute was not so easy to tap, he had been using the 'Fire of Kindness' before.
The thunder escape he learned was not very advanced, it was just a D-level ninjutsu: "Lightning Strike"
This is a basic lightning escape that concentrates the lightning attribute on the palm, and then touches the opponent at close range to cause paralysis and damage. It is not very versatile, and it is very restrictive. You have to touch the opponent with the palm of your hand, and it is not like
Rachel also has high penetration.
To put it bluntly, it is the ultimate enhanced version of a stun gun, which can paralyze people and make them lose their ability to resist.
But there is no such thing as useless ninjutsu, only the wrong way to use it.
After an accidental development, Carter discovered that this thunder attribute can be attached to metal objects and can be maintained for a period of time after being separated from the main body.
With this discovery, Carter, who has a modern soul, turned his little head a little, and a wonderful combination appeared.
Iron war hammer + lightning strike = what?
Isn’t that a weakened version of ‘Thunder Blow’? The signature skill of the dwarf hero in Warcraft 3.
It is definitely not feasible to use a hammer to deal with agile ninjas, as it is too easy to be avoided. But when used to deal with Chaos Demons who are relatively less agile, this combination is more suitable.
Even if it cannot cause too much damage, the powerful paralysis effect of lightning can still produce unexpected effects in actual combat. Sometimes a small stiffness can determine the outcome of a duel.
In this way, Carter's hand ax, which was originally just used to attract miscellaneous fish, was upgraded into a war hammer that could be used to fight strong men.
