On the top of an unnamed mountain, Viscount Emmett and the commanders of the other two guard battalions gathered together to discuss the matter of notifying the magician reconnaissance team.
After leaving the small town of Meijin, the knights of the guard camp did not return to Wozhimara City. Instead, they plunged head-on into the jungle and walked west along the river valley for about half a day, completely keeping away the hell dogs in the small town of Meijin.
To put it aside, the mountains and forests here are not the battlefield of hell dogs, and the further away from Wozhimala City, even if there are scattered hell dogs in the surrounding area, the number of hell dogs encountered will be less and less.
Along the way, we also saw a small village that was slaughtered by hell dogs. The entire village had been burned into ruins by the lava fire.
Since the supplies carried in this operation are relatively abundant, Viscount Emmett believes that the guard camp can also contain the hell dogs outside the town of Meijin, preventing the hell dogs in the town and the children of devils who have grown up from taking the opportunity to move and hide.
Therefore, he stationed himself halfway up the nameless peak less than 20 kilometers away from Meijin Town, and dispatched more than 30 scout teams led by Construct Knights to closely observe the movements of the hell dogs in Meijin Town.
.
As three gorgeous magic flares exploded in the dusk sky, brilliant colors bloomed.
Earl Collins of the Guard Camp of Pres City walked up to Viscount Emmett. The Collins family was also considered a big noble in Pres City. Earl Collins's father, the old Marquis Collins, had served as consul in Pres City for twenty years.
After retiring from the position of consul, although the Collins family is not as glorious as before, the members of the Collins family are deeply rooted in various departments in Prex City, which is far from comparable to the Emmet family in Helensa City.
Moreover, Emmett is only a second-class Viscount, two ranks different from Earl Collins in the rank of Lord.
The commander of Constantinople, Viscount Owen, is one of the most outstanding young people among the younger generation of the Owen family. The Owen family has ruled Constantinople for nearly two hundred years, and all departments in Constantinople have been controlled by the Owen family.
Hold on, although Viscount Owen is on the same level as Viscount Emmett in terms of Lordship rank, his future development will be smooth.
Ordinarily, Viscount Emmett would not be able to take the position of the real commander no matter what this reconnaissance mission was, but it was precisely the city of Helensa that completed the reconnaissance mission outstandingly, so the two commanders were able to overcome all opinions and put Emmett in the position of real commander.
Viscount Te was promoted to the position of first commander.
After completing the mission, according to Earl Collins's idea, the three guard battalions will return to Vozhi Mara along the road they took before. This is considered the safest.
However, the two young commanders Emmett and Owen had different opinions. Viscount Owen of Constantinople was more radical. He believed that the three guard battalions should be united together to immediately attack the town of Meijin and eliminate the sons of devils in the town.
Obliteration was in early childhood, but now these fifteen hundred knights, even if they stick to the mouth of the valley, are unable to resist the attack of the hell dogs in Meizu Town, so the strategy of attacking Meizu Town is obviously too radical.
In the end, it was Viscount Emmett who proposed that the knights of the Guard Battalion retreat to the outskirts of Meizu Town, and send a large number of scout teams to conduct close inspections around Meizu Town to prevent the demon sons of Meizu Town from secretly moving, and to try to avoid fighting with the hell dogs.
Maintain your fighting strength and wait for Wozhimala City to send out the Constructed Knights to eliminate the hell dogs in the small town of Meijin.
…
Earl Collins stood on a rock, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance and the setting sun that was about to set on the mountain ridge. His gray beard and hair were a little messy by the spring and summer winds of the Maca plane. His eyes fell on the Preux Guard Camp.
In the forest clearing where they are stationed, this operation has so far suffered the most serious casualties among the three guard battalions.
Earl Collins participated in at least hundreds of wars, large and small, in his life.
Five years ago, the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty had not yet withdrawn from the Green Empire. At that time, each battle group had a priest and two battle priests responsible for treatment. The knights at that time were not afraid of injury at all.
, the knights on the battlefield bravely moved forward, but when hundreds of thousands of priests and battle priests withdrew from the Green Empire one after another, it was difficult to see the shadow of the priests on the battlefield.
Since then, injuries on the battlefield have meant death, and the brave knights have become fearful.
The knights of the Preux City Guard Battalion were also issued standard military repeating crossbows three years ago. Using crossbow arrows to kill enemies can minimize one's own casualties. At that time, Earl Collins was quite proud of his move, but in a short time
In just three years, the knights who were accustomed to picking up standard military crossbows no longer knew how to use spears and shields. This reconnaissance mission in the Maka plane revealed a fatal flaw.
After the melee combat capabilities of the knights of the Guard Camp of Plexus City were greatly weakened, on the battlefield of the Maca plane. Once the hell dogs pounced on the military formation, the knights of the Guard Camp of Plexus also had the worst resistance and fighting will.
, the military formation became a mess, which was also the root cause of the largest number of casualties in the Preux City guard camp.
A knight from the guard camp of Halanza City is currently holding a silver long knife to treat the injured Knight of Plex.
A ball of holy light emerged from the knight's hand from time to time, attracting Earl Collins' attention.
He thought of the fighting priests in the temple. They also wore armor and fought with the knights, but when they rested, they would put down their weapons and use the sacred power in their bodies to heal the knights.
With the protection of the goddess, they seem to never tire, like a war machine that is constantly busy. Only when the sun rises, they need a short time to meditate and pray to restore the sacred power in their bodies.
The knight of Halanza City also continued to treat injured knights like a battle priest.
For a moment, Count Collins' thoughts flew back to a few years ago. At that time, he was still in his prime. He was not tired from morning to night while riding a horse. But now, after just leaving the city of Wozhimala for one day and one night, he is exhausted all over.
It was like he was falling apart, and he didn't even dare to lie down because he was worried that if he lay down, he might not be able to get up.
Lord Collins jumped down from the boulder and sat down against it.
Viscount Emmett came to him and sat aside, squinting at the sunset on the horizon.
“Why do you still have a battle priest in your guard camp?” Earl Collins asked Viscount Emmet curiously as he looked at Suldak’s busy figure.
"Are you talking about Knight Suldak again?" Viscount Emmet knew who Earl Collins was talking about without asking carefully, and immediately explained: "He is not a battle priest, he just worked his way through the heavy armored infantry regiment.
An ordinary soldier who came out has now joined our Halanza Guard Camp and became a glorious guard camp knight. However, it is said that he has realized the sacred magic element in his body and can practice both magic and martial arts like a magic swordsman. But
It’s just a sacred magic element…”
This is the explanation given by the Magic Guild. With the Magic Guild’s endorsement, Emmett doesn’t care whether this statement is credible or not. This is the standard answer.
However, Earl Collins would not question the Magic Union just because of the reputation of a certain magician. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I have only heard of awakening the four-series magic element perception, but I have never heard of anyone else.
You are so lucky to be able to awaken the sense of sacred elements. With such a construct knight, you don't know how many fewer people will die in this war!"
Then Earl Collins paused again, and then added with a smile: "Haha, but you said that he rose through the ranks from the infantry regiment and finally became a knight in the guard camp, so he is not a noble?"
Viscount Emmett only had some written words about Surdak. Before leaving the city of Halanza, he didn't even know that there was a knight named Surdak in the guard camp.
However, Viscount Emmett has done a lot of homework recently. He said to Count Collins: "Well, he originally joined the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment as a civilian. During his military service in the Warsaw plane, he was led by Mondstadt.
Count Goss recommended him to become a reserve knight, and he is currently studying at the Helensa Knights Academy, but he has now been officially awarded a knighthood by the Helensa Knights."
Once you become an official knight, it means that you have a knighthood, and this knight has basically been branded as a certain lord.
But why would Earl Collins care about this? He had seen this kind of thing too much, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the sky and said: "If...I mean if I want to drag him to settle in Pulux City, what do you think of Hailan?"
How much resistance will there be in Sacheng?"
Viscount Emmett did not expect that Surdak would be noticed by Earl Collins, but it would not be too surprising.
After all, he is a knight with the power of Holy Light. Viscount Emmett laughed dryly and said: "I don't know about this. He is the favorite in the eyes of Captain Saul Aldington. You'd better think about it."
Just say it to Thor!"
Earl Collins frowned slightly and said: "Are you talking about the hot-tempered boy from the Aldington family? It seems that if I want to dig this Knight of Surdak to Plex City, I will have to wait for a while.
It’s been a lot of twists and turns!”
Seeing Collins blatantly stating that he wanted to poach people, Viscount Emmett smiled unceremoniously and said to Earl Collins: "It is impossible for our Hellanza Guard Camp to give you this opportunity, Mr. Collins."
“Haha, then you have to keep an eye on me.” Earl Collins said.
…
Of course the knights in the guard camp on the mountainside had no idea that the two commanders who were chatting happily on the top of the mountain would actually get into a verbal dispute over a construct knight.
Half-elf archer Samira was leaning on the edge of the tent, carefully handling the heads of hell dogs. Although she knew that all of these hell dog heads could not be taken away, she still handled each one very carefully, and each one was carefully treated.
Reluctant to throw it away.
The knight of the Hellanza Guard Camp discovered that the half-elf archer not only liked the heads of hellhounds, but also liked shining silver coins. As long as he was willing to take out a little silver coins, he could get some help from her.
, for example, you can ask her to hunt some delicious pheasants in the surrounding mountains and forests. She is familiar with the jungle here, and is more familiar with the game that lives here, and knows that the meat of that kind of wild bird is more tender.
Her archery skills are very precise, and she rarely comes back empty-handed once she takes a shot.
The most important thing is that she can leave the camp anytime and anywhere without being reprimanded by Captain Emmett.
This is because in addition to bringing back game in the wild, she can also bring back some styptic grass and local herbs. Although they are not precious magic herbs, they are of great help to the injuries of the knights in the guard camp, so Emmett
The Viscount gave Samira free access to the camp.
This half-elf archer rarely wanders around the camp. As long as she is in the camp, she will definitely sit outside the Surdak Knight's tent. If she cannot be found here, then she must have gone out to the woods.
Nanai warrior Andrew became Surdak's assistant. This native with big hands like big cattail fans had his own unique way of setting bones and bandaging, and he was very meticulous and conscientious in his work. The two newcomers
The new members who joined the Helensa Guard Corps have integrated well into this large group in just three days.
Andrew taught everyone to collect wormwood leaves, mash them and apply them on the face and arms. This will not only avoid mosquito bites around you, but also blend in with the surrounding jungle. Even if you sweat due to the sultry heat of the jungle,
It won't wash away the green paint either.
…
In fact, the three commanders did not wait long at the unknown mountain peak.
Just before the setting sun completely entered the mountain col, two black spots finally appeared in the sky. As the two black spots slowly enlarged, two figures riding magic harpoons appeared in the sky. They were cautious about the surrounding affairs.
The two magicians circled in the sky and found no trace of the hell dogs in the surrounding area, and then they rode their magic harpoons and slowly landed in the forest glade.
The two young magicians came down and asked the knights around them: "Who is the commander of the guard camp?"
Viscount Emmett, Earl Collins, and Viscount Owen came down from the top of the mountain at the same time and saw the two young magicians. They were not in a hurry to tell the information. Instead, they checked the identities of the two magicians and then talked about it.
Information in the small town of Umezu.
The magicians heard that there were many children of devils in their infancy in the small town of Meijin. They were also shocked by this explosive news. They immediately looked at each other and wanted to send this important information to Wozhimara City immediately. However,
Seeing that the three commanders had not finished explaining the matter, they had no choice but to listen quietly.
The two magicians did not expect that the guard camp would take the initiative to undertake the reconnaissance and surveillance tasks here, so they naturally agreed in a hurry.
Before leaving, the two magicians asked the guard camp for help: the reason was that a magician from the reconnaissance team had been inexplicably missing in this mountain forest for about two days. He had not received any distress signal before he disappeared.
After that, the magician group sent people to search but did not get any clues. It was as if the magician disappeared out of thin air.
However, since the guard camp has spread a large number of scout teams to this jungle, it is very likely that clues to the missing magician will be found...
