"General Claude, this style of gray robe is the standard preparation for gray tower wizards." General Xazolak specially brought a gray robe when he came to visit for the third time: "Look, it is similar to our common robes.
The difference from the smock is that the gray robe has a large vertical collar, a double placket, obsidian buttons, and a diagonal pocket on the left and right sides. It looks simple, but is very simple and classic.
In addition, the fabric material of the gray robe is cross-woven from Shigros Island's specialty Shigri long linen and Shiros fine wool. You see, the twill side of the gray robe fabric has the feeling of silver light shining in the sun, that is, it is
Characteristics of Shiros fine wool, known as silver wool. Both materials are prohibited from being sold to outsiders on Shigros Island and are the best choice for making robes.
The gray robes of the Gray Tower Masters have their unique logo. First, there is a seven-story tower with gray silver embroidery on the collar. This is the origin of the name Gray Tower. Secondly, there are on the left and right chest plackets of the gray robe.
There are two fixed spells. The left chest is the cleansing spell, which can be used three times a day. The right chest is the dark transformation spell, which allows the gray robe to change color in a dark environment and reach agreement with the surroundings. This spell can be used once every three days.
In addition, Gray Tower mages also habitually embroider their mage level on the sleeves of their gray robes, and embroider the hexagram symbol with the number of assassination missions completed on the hem of their gray robes..."
General Xazolak pulled out the right sleeve of the gray robe in his hand and showed it to Claude. It was embroidered with two black edges, which meant that the original owner of the gray robe was only a second-level magician. The gray robe's
The hem is very clean, which shows that the original owner suffered an accident when he took on this assassination mission for the first time.
Claude asked General Xazolak what was the highest level of all the gray-robed magicians who were killed? General Xiazolac replied that except for the three gray-robed magicians with three black stripes on their sleeves, the rest
All are two black edges...
Claude felt a little strange. Could it be that the famous Gray Tower Mage relied on these second- and third-ring gray-robed magician assassins to carry out assassinations? No wonder he had such a feeling at the time, even if he didn't have a revolver in his hand.
, I can also deal with two or three gray-robed magicians with my magic...
General Xazolak has obviously put a lot of effort into this aspect during this period. He told Claude that based on the information provided by several wild magicians living in seclusion in overseas territories, the Gray Tower Wizard organized these twenty or thirty
In the past few years, we have been vigorously recruiting islanders with insufficient magical talent on Higros Island, and we are going to spend time and money to train them into qualified magician assassins. These gray-robed magicians who came to assassinate Claude and General Alges are very
Maybe they are the first batch of new blood cultivated by the Gray Tower Master in more than 20 years.
Claude suddenly realized that no wonder he vaguely felt that those gray-robed magicians were easy to deal with. It turned out that these gray-robed magicians sent by the Gray Tower Mage to assassinate were strictly defective products. They were not real battle mages.
Just a one-time mage killer.
If Claude and his sister Anna's magic talent is over 80% or 90%, and his younger brother Blovik's magic talent is only about 60% or 70%. Then the Gray Tower Mage recruited these people from Shigros Island.
The magic talents of the children of the islanders should only be in their forties or fifties. They are the kind who can learn magic but their progress is very slow and there is no potential for development.
But for the Gray Tower Master, there is no way to recruit such islanders' children. Even if the learning is slow and takes a long time, it is better than the entire Gray Tower organization declining and disappearing in the passage of time. Although the place of Shigros Island is very
Although the island has a population of less than one million, the one or two magic geniuses that can be produced every year have long been snatched away by other magician sects on the island. It is not the turn of the Gray Tower Mage, an organization that trains mages to become assassins and killers.
.
Like Claude, it only took him one year to be promoted to the first level of Rune Mage, while his sister Anna only took six months. His younger brother Blovik was the least talented in magic, and it only took him sixteen months to be promoted to the first level.
Mage. As for the children of the islanders who are not very talented in magic recruited by Gray Tower Mage, it will take at least three to five years for them to be successfully promoted to first-level mage, and then it will take more than ten years to be promoted to second-level mage. No wonder they are only second-level mage.
The third ring was sent out to carry out the assassination mission, because if they were to be promoted to the fourth or fifth ring, the Gray Tower Mage would not be able to support them at all...
Just when Claude and General Xazolak were discussing the information about the Gray Tower Mage, General Skerry broke into Claude's ward with a Falcon Message. He was very excited, but he still worked hard.
He lowered his voice: "It was reported from the front line that General Bolognik led the Guards Division, part of the Thunder Legion, and most of the 1st and 2nd Rock Divisions captured the city wall of Port Vibato the night before yesterday, entered the city, and fought fiercely for a day
One night, we forced most of the enemy defenders to surrender, and successfully captured the entire port city. We hereby send you good news..."
It took more than seven or eight days a month, nearly forty days, minus the time spent on the expedition and gathering various ministries. General Bolognik commanded the troops to launch an attack almost as soon as he arrived under the city wall of Vibato Port. Fortunately, everything was
It went very smoothly. It only took one day and two nights to capture the port of Vibato. I don't know now whether the casualties of the Guards Division in the siege were serious. I hope General Bolognik can remember Claude.
A reminder to reduce the battle losses of the Guards Division.
"Is there any news from the royal capital?" Claude asked General Skerry.
"No, last time the royal capital recalled the first special envoy investigation team, and then sent the second special envoy team. According to the itinerary, it is estimated that they should have just boarded the ship at Bailu City Military Port. It will take at least a month to arrive here.
The news Mr. Veblen brought last week said that the members of the second special envoy did not include any members of the first special envoy investigation team. He believed that they were not here to cause trouble for our war zone..."
Claude breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as they don't come to embarrass us, we will feel relaxed after getting through this. From now on, we will stay in the overseas territories and watch the two princes from the kingdom decide the winner. From now on, we people will
Stop taking sides, it’s up to us to serve whoever is the king.”
General Skerry and General Xazolak looked at each other and nodded. If it hadn't been for Claude's insistence on self-rescue this time, everyone would have been in trouble until the first special envoy investigation team from the royal capital came over. That year
Marshal Michelich is in charge, so everyone can offend those useless generals who have the blood of the Sterling royal family without any scruples.
But who could have expected that the situation would change so quickly. Marshal Michelich was assassinated and injured and lived in seclusion. And because of the assassination, there was another big clue in the war zone, so those useless generals with the blood of the Sterling royal family found it.
It is a good time to target several generals in the war zone, and they can legitimately go to the war zone to carry out revenge. It is conceivable that if the First Special Envoy Investigation Team really arrives in the war zone, they will be able to pick out the bones from even a piece of tofu...
.
What chilled the generals in the war zone the most was that the person they were loyal to, Prince Hansback, didn't even say a fair word for them, and allowed those useless generals from the Stirling royal family to pour sewage on them and accuse them.
He wrote and directed this assassination incident in order to fight for power and gain. Fortunately, the first special envoy investigation team was recalled by the big guys in the royal capital, otherwise, what awaited the generals in the war zone would probably be unimaginable consequences.
All this is thanks to the great assistance of Mr. Veblen and the mining and business association. They continuously conveyed news from the royal capital to the war zone, so that Claude and several generals in the war zone could clearly see that the royal capital was concerned about this.
The response to this assassination, as well as the attitude of the powerful bosses in the kingdom, as well as the members of the special envoy and other information. It can be said that the surviving generals in this war zone all owe a good debt to the Mining and Commerce Association.
A big favor.
It seems that we only need to wait patiently for another month or so before the second special envoy can arrive in Lanhu Town and make the final decision on this assassination incident. However, General Skerry still needs to lead General Bolonik.
The successful news of the capture of Vibato Port was passed to the Royal Capital. I believe that the Royal Capital will send a third special envoy to resettle all the troops in the war zone. Because the colonial war is over, there is no need to retain the war zone.
The big guys have made their choice...
Claude could finally rest peacefully in the hospital bed to recuperate, but seven or eight days later, General Skerry once again sent good news. The officers and soldiers of the Guards Division under the command of General Bolonik were attacking Vibato Port.
When the residents of the city were conducting a ground check, they unexpectedly discovered the whereabouts of the gray-robed magicians who had escaped. Facing the menacing officers and soldiers of the Guards Division, they tried to resist by relying on the cover of the terrain and houses, but three or four grenades were thrown.
They threw it over, killing four and injuring three on the spot. Now the theater command finally had the lives of the gray-robed magicians who came to assassinate them.
This is indeed good news. General Xazolak has already gone to the Dolinibala River to wait and greet the team escorting the three living people. He vowed to take out the money from the mouths of these three living gray-robed magicians.
Name the person behind the assassination.
But all this has nothing to do with Claude. He learned from Dr. Perente who came to treat him that General Bichlin, who was seriously injured in the assassination, recovered better than himself and could leave the hospital bed in two months.
In addition, Sir Bennett, the civil affairs director of the war zone, was unlucky. He lost one of his left hands, which was cut off by a wind blade spell when the assassination occurred.
When McJack appeared in front of Claude, the second special envoy was only three or four days away from Lanhu Town. This time, McJack was escorting the wounded soldiers and the three gray-robed magicians back alive.
, after handing over the three prisoners to the long-awaited General Xazolak at the Dolinibara River, he quickly rushed back to Lanhu Town with a convoy of wounded soldiers.
Claude learned from McJack that the process by which General Bolognik led various troops to capture the port city of Vibato was, how should I put it, a quite satisfactory performance. If it weren’t for the grenades that showed their prowess in siege battles and urban street battles.
, perhaps this port city, which the Hicks Kingdom has high hopes for, will not be captured so easily. Especially in the final battle to capture the dock area, the seven light cruise gunboats of the Sea King Squadron stationed in Vibato Port faced the falling
The city in the hands of the attackers was bombarded wildly to prevent the attackers from approaching, with the intention of keeping a small half of the dock area in the hands of the defenders.
However, General Bolognik was well prepared. The five heavy field guns that had been laboriously mobilized and transported from the Port of Patres began to show off their power. Taking advantage of their range far exceeding that of the enemy, they launched a roll call attack on the seven light cruise gunboats in the harbor.
Five enemy ships were sunk, forcing the last two light cruiser gunboats to fly white flags and surrender. As soon as these seven enemy ships were lost, the enemies in the dock area could no longer hold on, and soon surrendered, and the Port of Vibato fell into
in the hands of the attacker.
Maijack told Claude that his boyhood playmate, the fat man Bock Al, had made great contributions in the battle to capture Vibato Port. All the battle attack routes that took place in the city were based on information provided by Bock Al.
They even had guides leading the way in some places. This is why the urban street fighting in Vibato Port City only lasted one day and one night, because the defenders of the Hicks Kingdom were fighting and found themselves surrounded.
Contact with the rear has been lost. If they refuse to surrender, all they will have waiting for them is grenades thrown from all directions...
In this siege, there were nearly 20,000 casualties on this side of the theater, with many injured and few killed. The largest casualties were the four main field regiments of the 1st and 2nd Panshi Divisions who accompanied the siege. They occupied
Sixty percent of the casualties were lost, almost two main field regiments were wiped out. The rest were the Thunder Legion and the Guards Division, and the Guards Division suffered the smallest casualties, so that the officers of the Guards Division were embarrassed
, take the initiative to assume the responsibility of public security in the urban area.
The next step is simple. The fat man Bockal received information from a former mid-level official in Vibato Port who had taken refuge with him, and then forwarded this information to the Guards Division, which sent people to surround the community.
After conducting an inventory of the residents, the whereabouts of the escaped gray-robed magicians were soon discovered. After surrounding them in all directions and throwing grenades, all the trouble was solved.
This is what McJack meant when he told Claude that his young friend Bock Al had made great contributions in the siege of Vibato Port. Without the intelligence and attack route provided by Bock Al, then this time
The casualties in street fighting in the city at least doubled. Because King Mechid III of the Hicks Kingdom gave a heavy reward to the main standing army guarding Vibato Port, the enemy did not surrender so easily, and their resistance was also very
The intensity...
But all this is meaningless. The defenders of Vibato Port have long been alone. They can't even leave the city to go out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. In addition, the equipment is not inferior to the military standards of the Kingdom of Orvelas.
Equipment, and all the siege units commanded by General Bolognik had grenades. This weapon that unexpectedly fell from the sky and exploded quickly destroyed the remaining courage and determination of the defenders. This was the only weapon in Vibato Port.
The main reason why it was captured after one day and two nights of fighting.
The Port of Vibato was captured, the escaping gray-robed magician was captured, and the special envoy was about to arrive at Lanhu Town. Claude felt that he could finally rest in peace, and that he would have nothing to do next.
What Claude didn't expect was that three days later, the special envoy arrived in Lanhu Town. After attending the welcome banquet, members of the special envoy came to Veblen Manor one by one. In the name of visiting General Claude
In the name of the government, he gave Claude a large number of precious and valuable gifts, almost filling Claude's ward. Claude could only smile bitterly, knowing that these members of the special envoy who came to visit him felt deeply in their hearts.
What's the idea? It's just a revolver invented by myself.
General Xia Zolak took the time to come and told Claude a piece of news that made him laugh. The three captured gray robe magicians confessed that they had indeed accepted the king of the Hicks Kingdom, Melchid III.
He offered rewards and came to assassinate several generals in the war zone.
But the funny thing is that the one with the highest bounty is Claude, whose head is worth 100,000 gold kops. The kingdom's general, General Alges, has the same bounty as General Bolognik, General Skri and others, only 50,000 gold kops.
The bounty. That’s why the gray-robed magicians split into two groups when the assassination occurred. Claude sent seven gray-robed magicians...
After the special envoy obtained the confessions of the three gray-robed magicians, they had a fierce dispute. Because they were unwilling to accept the fact that the reward amount of General Alges was only half of Claude, they prepared to force the three gray-robed magicians to
The division's change of confession would at least equalize the bounties of the two men. They plausibly stated that this was related to the reputation of General Alges...
