Just when Aranza and his party tore open the magic teleportation scroll back to Alice's Fortress, Old Follett was already waiting in the round table conference room.
Aranza took a step in the magic circle just now. Old Follett, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately saluted him and said: "Your Highness, the Norland Army has been prepared and can support Norland City at any time."
Seeing Old Follett's attire, Aranza couldn't help but pay more attention. In the eyes of everyone, this old man always wore a standard housekeeper's attire, either a clean white shirt or a spotless luxurious robe.
His words and deeds have always retained the elegant temperament of someone who has served a noble family for many years. Such an old Follett often makes people ignore his combat prowess and only focus on dissecting his achievements in doing things, but in fact
, Even on the battlefield, Old Follett was a rare warrior.
How can a person who once took care of trivial matters for the heroic king Heracles be an ordinary person? Even though old Follett's face has been carved with grooves by the years, an unshakable aura is still stubbornly on his body after wearing the military uniform.
Spread out.
Aranza smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Fulit. Well, by the way, have the food, clothing, housing and transportation arrangements for the family members of the Norland Army who came from Norland City been arranged?"
Faced with Aranza's question, Old Follett was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Aranza's first concern would be something so insignificant to the overall situation, but his experienced experience meant that Old Follett never showed his expression on his face.
He nodded to Aranza and said, "I will follow your instructions. Everything has been arranged."
"That's good."
Aranza nodded with relief. He was not a cold-blooded person, but under the urging of some things, Aranza had to make some cold plans to achieve the goal. But outside of the plan, the person who needed to be protected was Aranza.
I won't ignore it coldly.
At this time, the faint morning light of the twin suns just passed through the circular skylight of the round table conference room, and the faint brilliance shone on everyone, eliminating the slight sense of fatigue surrounding everyone. It won't take long for the stationed in Noland
The news that the mercenary guild alliance in the city was attacked by the Awakeners, and that the Dawn Guard defeated the Awakeners who attacked Rios City, would reach the ears of the major forces without any hesitation.
Naturally, some people will connect these two things together. Aranza will not take any chances on this, but how these people speculate on the connection between the two things is beyond Aranza's control. However, it is wonderful.
What's amazing is that in some people's subtle reactions to certain things, you can very clearly identify that person's position.
For example, if someone thinks that these two things are actually a plan of the Awakened to attack the east and west, using part of the war magic machine to sacrifice to divert the attention of the Dawn Guard, and having part of it attack Norland City through a rare portal tactic, this is
The idea is not untenable. After all, the purpose of the Awakened's attack on Sarah Falco State is to open up the line to Kay State where Noland City is located. Moreover, for the astonishing consumption of magic crystals for large magic portals, using magic crystals as a
There is no way the awakened person cannot afford the power source of the war magic machine.
Others may judge that there is probably some conspiracy in the two incidents, especially when Aranza leads the Thorn Mercenary Group and the Noland Army to support Noland City later, this conspiracy becomes more intense.
.
However, different reactions will subtly reflect something different. The direction and results of judgment are different because the starting point of judgment is different. Some people always regard their opponents as awakened people, so the core of their judgment of things always revolves around
As the awakened ones unfold, some people's enemies are limited to every move of the Thorns Mercenary Group. Therefore, no matter what Aranza directs the Thorns Mercenary Group to do, it seems to these people that it is premeditated. Although it is true that there are
Premeditated.
The gate of Alice Fortress, protected by layers of metal, slowly opened in the morning light. A tall black horse with a hint of Warcraft blood took the lead to step out of the city gate. On its back was a white-haired young man covered in red armor.
That's Aranza.
Then, the heavily armed members of Thorn Fortress followed Aranza's footsteps.
Cyril rode a white horse behind Aranza. The thunder wolf Silas followed Dolores into the elven territory and was never heard from again. Cyril's mount also changed again and again, but every time
The mounts all have one thing in common - white hair as bright as snow. Perhaps this represents Cyril's longing for Silas. At this time, Cyril is wearing a set of full-body armor with a smooth surface. This armor is
It was the set of artifact armor given to Cyril by the sea god Xinknar at that time.
Its enchanting abilities are extremely diverse. The "Fortress" enchantment increases the armor's defense to an incredible level. Even if Alanza attacks with all his strength without applying the power of the rules, it will be difficult to shake this armor; and "
The "Swallow" enchantment makes this armor feel completely weightless, and instead increases Cyril's agility. If any enemy thinks that she is slow in movement due to the heavy armor, they are totally wrong. There are many other enchanting abilities, such as
The "normal state" offsets the influence of the environment on Cyril, and the "magic resistance" weakens the effect of magic attacks on Cyril, etc. Most enchantments are not uncommon on the Continent of Thorns. The only thing that is unacceptable is that these
The seemingly "ordinary" enchantments are actually all concentrated on a set of armor, and the bonuses are more than two to three times higher than ordinary enchantments.
Except for Cyril, almost all the members of the Kingdom of God who followed Aranza into Xinknar had the same artifact. In the past, everyone kept these artifacts in space bracelets, but now they all wore them.
The artifact held by Elita is a half-dragon wing-shaped "Avenger's Shield", as the name suggests. This shield has an anti-injury effect, and it is absolutely anti-injury. However, its anti-injury ability can only be turned on once a day, but
Definitely enough.
Li, a little girl from the Fulan tribe, also holds an artifact staff the size of a toothpick. It has only one permanent effect, which is to halve the magic consumption. It sounds simple, but in fact, this staff can completely turn a Li into a magic wand.
Got two Li.
Another member of the Thorns Mercenary Group who possesses an artifact is Hancock. To be precise, the identity she has been using is not a member of the Thorns Mercenary Group, and Aranza has not yet officially invited her to join the Thorns Mercenary Group. Hancock
At this time, his identity is still that of the Holy Magician who was taken in as a personal guard by Aranza after losing his memory. However, everyone knows the truth. The artifact Hancock got from the Poseidon Xinknar is a ring.
, there is also only one ability that can only be used once a day, called "Judgment of Destiny". According to Hancock's explanation, it can demote a mid-level saint to a junior saint within a certain period of time. Compared with other abilities,
The bonus effect of the artifact, "Judgment of Fate" is definitely a nightmare for the enemy.
In any case, the equipment lineup of the Thorns Mercenary Group is extremely luxurious. Aranza has every reason to believe that even if an intermediate or even high-level Sanctuary powerhouse appears in front of them, he will be instantly blasted into a charred corpse. Thorns Mercenaries
Although the rest of the group did not have artifacts, they were all wearing epic equipment that Aranza carefully selected from the Treasury Ring. Even the already equipped old Follett was ordered by Aranza to change his clothes and then gave them to him.
He has a set of gold armor with multiple enchantments.
The soldiers of the Norland Army have also changed their equipment. Although they cannot achieve the point where everyone has an epic weapon and equipment, Aranza can do it if they are fully armed. At this time, the soldiers of the Norland Army have changed their equipment.
The armor he wore came from the Principality of Lane at that time, and was equipment that could only be obtained by the most elite troops.
After all, time has passed, and Aranza still remembers that when Jessie was still there, in order to train the members' abilities, although there were countless treasures in the Treasury Ring, she distributed the equipment very carefully, so as not to make the members too strong, but
It won't be too weak. But now, they have entered another stage. Aranza understands that now is no longer the time to train combat power, but the time to maximize the combat power of all members.
Because no one knows how powerful the enemy they will face will be.
In addition, the Noland army, which only has a few thousand people, actually contains nearly two hundred magicians. These magicians come from a wide range of sources, or they were selected from major magic academies by Old Follett through years of training.
Or maybe when Noland City was still under the control of Kim Gates, he poached some mercenary groups passing through Noland City, and even some alien magicians, simply Kim Gates and
Slaves bought at high prices when going to slave auctions in the prairie. These magicians all have one thing in common, that is, it is only possible that the Norland Army chooses them, rather than them choosing the Norland Army, which greatly reduces the number of spies.
possible.
As for the soldiers of the Noland Army, they are native fighters from the Kay State. After being screened in wars, their loyalty is unquestionable. This is why Aranza is willing to take the risk of leaking secrets and get these soldiers first.
The reason why the family members who stayed in Norland City came to Alice Fortress was that they gave Aranza their loyalty, and Aranza gave them shelter. At the same time, Aranza did not mind spending hundreds or even thousands of gold coins on these warriors.
Improve their combat effectiveness and survivability.
In this way, an army whose members exuded a strong smell of gold slowly moved toward the city of Norland, where the smoke still lingered.
Aranza completely abandoned the Alice War Bears made by Yvette. There is reason to believe that those snow elves missing two eyes will be used by the Norland Army to better understand the structure of the Alice War Bears.
The structure of the Norland Army at this time is a typical lineup against war magic machines. It is ridiculous to say that this lineup was first proposed by Aranza's enemy, Alpha Lane. It is under the protection of heavy armored knights and led by magicians.
Responsible for attacking the weaknesses of the war magic machine. This tactic was originally suitable for the relatively weak Alice War Bear, equipped with at least five high-quality heavy armor guards and three magicians, but after the emergence of the advanced war magic machine of the Awakener
Later, the number of tactical personnel was increased to at least ten or even twenty heavy armored guards to form a defensive line in the city, and at least magicians who cooperated with each other tacitly as attackers. Moreover, if a war magic machine was not solved, one or two would often be lost.
A heavy-armored guard, and even if they encounter a long-range combat magic machine, the whole magician group may die in battle.
The premise of this tactic is that our army understands the structure of the war magic machine. If the magician cannot kill with one blow, the result can be imagined. Simply, the Dawn Guard, who has been fighting with the Awakened for a long time, provided Jin
ยท Although Gates is not very detailed, it is definitely useful and even crucial information.
