The airship brigade arrived earlier than expected. On the seventh day after the invasion of spiritual beasts, seven airships assembled in Snakehead Town.
Then he flew towards Cuihai Valley.
"Master arcane mages will bring back the Black Jade Scorpion's pincers to pay homage to the people who died in the town." Aunt Abi put her hands on her chest while eating lunch and prayed to the spirit, "Let us bless the warriors who went out to fight.
We return victorious."
"It will definitely happen!" Levin prayed together.
Duke does not eat with them, but eats alone on the second floor. As the boss and a practitioner, his dishes must be much richer.
After dinner.
Duke is in the breeding room, practicing the blood refining method with Xiao Dou to strengthen his fighting spirit, strengthen his body, and promote his development.
He is only sixteen years old and his body is still developing.
I was 1.75 meters tall when I first crossed over last year, and now I'm almost 1.8 meters tall. In the Heijiaohe land, 1.8 meters is considered a normal male height.
"Xiaoyi, report on the solidification progress."
"Good owner, the current curing level is 16.3%, and the time budget is 49 days."
The budget is 49 days, but in fact there is no need for so many days, because Duke will solidify the spiritual core himself during the day, which is much more efficient than Xiaoyi.
"Keep up the good work!"
Originally eager to be promoted to a level 1 Arcane Mage as soon as possible, after experiencing successive farm insect swarms and spiritual beast invasions, Duke became more and more eager to master power.
Only arcane mages can deal with those powerful spiritual beasts.
Time soon entered August, the hottest season of the year, and Duke spent almost all of his time on the farm solidifying his spiritual core.
News about Cuihai Valley’s pioneering war is also coming.
The phantom projected at the front of the airship fleet finally has the latest explanation. It is the arcanist's ring of projection method.
Incredible methods can only be used by arcane mages of level 4 and above.
Copy your own ring and make a temporary clone of your mind. When necessary, you can control this copied ring through your mind and simulate yourself in combat.
Although I can't exert 100% of my strength, I can still exert about 50% of my strength.
The key is that there is no need to go to the battlefield in person, it is safe and efficient, and the personal safety of the arcane mage is fully protected.
"So, this is also a type of arcane magic?" Duke thought in his mind.
With the help of the Ring of Projection, the airship brigade ran rampant in Cuihai Valley and hunted down countless spiritual beasts. Especially the high-level spirit beasts were hunted by the airship brigade. The knights and mercenary groups on the ground began to attack the low-level spirit beasts.
Hunting.
The killing turned the Cuihai Valley into a river of blood.
It will further advance the progress of the pioneering war.
"It will probably take less than a few years for Cuihai Valley to be pacified." Duke saw the battle reports from the front and felt that the war was progressing very quickly.
During the Black Snake Lair Development War that took place twenty or thirty years ago, there was no such big weapon as the airship brigade. The 3rd Ring Austrian Mage Mubia was the leader of the development war at that time.
Therefore, it took more than ten years of fighting before the Black Snake Lair was completely assessed.
Thus, the nobles were enfeoffed and market towns were established.
At that time, the spiritual spring of the Black Snake's lair did not generate spiritual minerals around it, so it could not attract too powerful arcane mages.
Nowadays, the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley has been determined to have spiritual minerals distributed, so that it can attract the fourth-level earth arcane mage Bernoulli, as well as many arcane mages who own airships. These arcane mages also want to dig spiritual minerals as soon as possible, so that is why they are like this
Work hard.
"Sure enough, interests are the driving force for progress."
He pays attention to the war, but does not participate in it. He lives a stable life on the Little Duke Farm.
That afternoon, Captain Zina, who had not seen him for a long time, suddenly rushed to the villa. When he saw Duke, he asked: "Has your friend, the card repairer, come back?"
At this time, Captain Zina looked very haggard.
He looks several years older.
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Duke asked.
"Forget it, it's nothing. I hope I'm still alive when he comes back." Zina was a little disappointed, but her tone was still free and easy.
Duke couldn't help but frown: "What's going on? The battle on the front line is going smoothly, isn't it? Logically speaking, you have all made a fortune, so you should be happy."
"People die for money and birds die for food. Isn't this the fate of being a mercenary..." After mocking herself, Zina told the whole story, "All the mercenary groups stationed in the town were reorganized by the Shenjiao City Command.
You must accept unified dispatch and are not allowed to leave without permission."
"That's it..."
A mercenary group can be seen as a kind of private club, sponsored and supported by the sponsors behind it, and they go to various places to take risks to obtain resources.
In essence, it is not subject to local control, but the pioneering war is issued by the Union Tower, and the headquarters wants to recruit nearby mercenary groups. It is just a matter of order.
Anyone who dares to disobey will have no place in the Seven Towers Federation.
"What exactly is the headquarters going to do after reorganizing you? Launch a decisive battle against Cuihai Valley?"
"Haha, how is it possible? Do you know that the giant black jade scorpion has been identified as a 7-ring spirit beast by several arcane mages of the airship brigade. The 7-ring spirit beast means that its life level has transformed to
Unknown height, it is too difficult to kill it!"
Rings 1, 2, and 3 belong to ordinary spiritual beasts; rings 4, 5, and 6 belong to advanced spiritual beasts.
This division is very similar to that of arcane mages, and the 7-ring spirit beasts have evolved to this level, and their life levels have exceeded the cognitive scope of most people.
"Is it impossible to kill someone with 7 rings?"
"It's not that it can't be killed, it's that it's too difficult to kill. So after hunting down three five-ringed black jade scorpions, the airship team turned around and prepared to clear out the burrowing army ants all over the ground."
If you can't kill the most powerful spirit beast in Cuihai Valley in the early stage, you can turn to hunting the obstructive burrowing army ants. Then, it will take a few years to slowly cut off the bottom spirit beasts in Cuihai Valley, and finally fight the most powerful spirit beast.
.This is basically a fixed routine for every pioneering war.
Every arcane mage in the Seven Towers Federation is the cornerstone of the country and will never be wasted in ordinary battles.
Duke continued to ask: "Commander Zina, we are just clearing out the underground army ants. With the help of the airship brigade and the cantharis army, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"The problem is huge!"
"Huh?"
"The way our mercenaries fight is to either build traps or fly kites, and rarely hunt head-on. But the noble arcane mages only want to annihilate the burrowing army ants. This is to use our mercenary group as cannon fodder and block the
The escape route for burrowing army ants!"
"Isn't this just for killing burrowing army ants?" Duke suddenly said.
Zina suddenly raised her eyebrows: "You have a very keen sense of smell. Indeed, I don't think the purpose of the higher-ups is this. Looking at the current posture of the command, it seems that they are chasing something."
"What to hunt for?"
"I don't know, maybe it's an ant with a brain, otherwise how could they attack the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit in the farm area."
Hearing this, Duke asked curiously: "Can spiritual beasts give birth to wisdom?"
"Maybe, maybe not, who knows, anyway, I had a sheepdog before, and I feel it is smarter than me."
