my age of magic

Chapter 225 25. Hunting in the Forest
Looking down from a high altitude, the expeditionary army walking in the mountains is divided into countless small teams and distributed in the vast mountains like a spider web. The number of this expeditionary army exceeds [-], including the reserve of the Knights of the El City Defense Police Department. Army, El Junior War College, Steins College, El City Magician Union, El City Adventure Group Union, El City Industrial School, El City Merchants Union, etc. The supreme commander of this expeditionary force is El Colonel Mastin of the City Defense Department, and it was he who led the [-] Garrison Knights Reserve Forces formed the most basic structure of this expeditionary force.

At the forefront is the reserve force of the Knights. These young soldiers belong to the reserve force of the El City Guard. The law of the Green Empire stipulates that all male citizens are obliged to perform military service after they reach the age of sixteen. A large number of reserve guards was born under this law. Many residents of El City worried that after their children joined the North Wind Legion, they would face various dangers when they defended against the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra. Therefore, in order to preserve and continue the family blood, the nobles in El City created such a force that nominally belongs to the North Wind Legion, but the actual control and management rights belong to El City. Such a reserve force, this reserve force is actually They exist in every city, and it takes a lot of money to buy a place in the guard regiment. The reserve force of the Knights of the Guard Hall is just such a team.

Speaking of which, this kind of army reserve force is looked down upon by the regular army, but now such an army is rushing to the forefront. Obviously, it is heard that the 30 troops of the North Wind Army on the front line surrounded tens of thousands of barbarians from Celtic barbarian tribes. Between the cursed land and the galloping horse river, these people planned to rush to the front line to claim military merit.

In order to be able to cover up the eating image better, I specially gathered the student army from the famous schools in El City and organized some powerful trade unions in El City to join in. The joining of some magicians and adventurers made the nondescript people The lineup of the temporary army looks more gorgeous, but among these organizations, the chamber of commerce suffers the most. Not only do they have to contribute, but they are also responsible for preparing the supplies for the entire team along the way.

It was under such a chaotic situation that the top officials of the Steins School resolutely decided to send a team composed of senior students and key teachers to join this crusade. In fact, their idea was to take advantage of this Dongfeng has added a strong touch to Steins College, and it has also given Steins College, which is not well-established, a historical event worthy of bragging and showing off.

The students of Steins College lined up behind the main force. In just three days, these teenagers who usually call themselves the campus elites in the school have already made their heads look ashamed.According to the laws of the empire, women are not required to serve in the military, but there are many people who want to become female warriors by learning combat skills in the academy.

Because the northern provinces are deeply troubled by the barbarians’ winter slave hunts, it is very common that there are more women than boys in each province. Girls also have to bear the responsibility of supporting their families when they grow up. Many girls will also go to school to learn some combat skills in order to be able to engage in some high-paying jobs in the future.

There are also quite a few female students in Steins College, but there are not many female students who can become elites and participate in this expedition.Tracy is one of these female students, not only because her father is a very prestigious rapier fencing instructor at Steins College, but also has a lot to do with her own strength. Similarly, she is a master swordsman, her body coordination is very good, and she can easily complete all kinds of extremely difficult movements. Tracy is also a famous figure in Steins Academy.

At this time, I was following her, and was dragged helplessly by her to walk on the narrow field ridge. The green wheat waves fluctuating with the wind in the field moved with our steps, and there were a few flowers floating in the blue sky like cotton candy. The same white cloud, Tracy's long golden hair was blown away by the breeze, and she stretched out her hand to pin the broken hair behind her ear. The exquisite leather armor made her look extraordinarily tall and straight.I secretly tried to pull my hand back, but she held my fingers tightly and never let go for a moment. She turned her head and gave me a deep look, then lowered her voice and whispered in my ear: "Be good with me!" Let's go, don't accidentally fall into the ridge of the field and get your clothes dirty, in the end you need me to wash it for you!"

"I've always had a good sense of balance, Tracy, I don't think I'll fall, just let it go!" I hurried on.

Leon was in the team not far away. He finally realized something was wrong in the past few days. In front of me, Tracy didn't put on airs like a sister, and she always fought against me in some things. , but worried about being scolded by Leonte, always bickering with each other when Leonte was not paying attention.

"Huh!" Tracy snorted softly.

She quickened her pace on the field ridge, and she deliberately walked faster, thinking that this would make me fall on the field ridge and embarrass me in front of her friends.Tracy is a head taller than me. Her legs are very long. When she runs, her strides are not large, but the frequency is very fast. This kind of gait can only be learned by those who practice using a rapier, and this kind of gait has a unique rhythm. , I have begun to feel a little uncomfortable, being dragged staggeringly, and running in a panic, which also makes the corners of Tracy's mouth slightly raised, looking very proud.

But after all, she was in the team, even if Trey wanted to run quickly, she quickly caught up with the team in front, and it was impossible for her to cross this team and run to the front, so she could only obediently follow behind the team.Apparently, some people in this team were former students of Leonte. They haven't contacted me these days, but they saw me following Leonte all the time. Obviously, my identity has been spread in the academy. Some instructors saw I will also show a gentle smile. When I was trying to adjust my breathing and try to follow Tracy's pace and rhythm to run on the field, someone in the front line turned back to me and smiled mysteriously. Then he said to Tracy. Xi said bluntly: "Hey, Tracy, that idiot Leon got angry after seeing it, are you really going to go over and comfort him?"

Tracy took a steady breath, glared at the man fiercely, and then secretly looked at the situation behind him. Seeing that not far behind him, Leon was looking over and over again. His face darkened and he was about to get angry. Knowing that this is a place where it is not easy to get angry anyway, Tracy continued to say: "Jia, let's go back!"

"Hey! Hey! I'm really not afraid of that guy throwing face at you. You'd better think about how to make up a reason, hide this matter from the past, and leave your brother here for a while, and I will take care of it for you." The man stopped Tracy's hand again, but this time Tracy did not refuse again, but looked at me and said, "Warning, Albert, don't say useless things in front of Jia, I'll be back in a while!"

The young man named Albert winked at me with a smile. I saw that he was also a very interesting person, so I was very interested in staying and chatting with him. In this boring place During the trip, it is rare to meet such an interesting person.He knew Tracy's weakness very well. He knew what Tracy cared more about at this time, so he could take Tracy away with just one sentence.It also seems to know that I don't like walking on the ridge with Tracy very much, so I will be left behind in one sentence.

In the past two days, I have deeply realized the preferential treatment that I can receive as a teacher's family member.Those students taught by Leant would look for opportunities to cast good-natured glances at me, and some would even secretly put a piece of honey cake in my pocket. There is plenty of water, but the taste of old rice is not acceptable to everyone, so children from rich families will bring some small biscuits and some luncheon meat in their luggage, and when they secretly share the food, Usually they call me to share.

"Tracey, this time the eyes are really not very good, a little willful. Nice to meet you, my name is Albert, I have heard your name for a long time, but we have never met. Since in Stan After studying at Sidney College, Tracy broke up with us because of that kid over there, saying that he was looking for so-called love! Hehe, ridiculous fool." Albert said, laughing until tears flowed, he It seems that this is a ridiculous joke.

I asked strangely: "There is nothing wrong with what she said!"

At this time, it was Albert's turn to answer my words, and opened his mouth in surprise.Instead, someone beside him said: "Hey! Albert, I heard that you are going to open a box of lunch meat at noon today, and we are all here!"

The voice resolved the embarrassment, and Albert came back to his senses and said: "Even if I talk too much, it seems that you are really defending Tracy! Let's get to know each other again, I am a student of Mr. Liante, and my name is Ai. Burt! At noon, we are going to have luncheon meat stewed with small hazel mushrooms. These mushrooms were picked under the golden apple tree yesterday, so let’s have a try together!"

"Okay!" I am always very interested in eating, and I will never refuse something delicious.

In order not to damage the crops in the field, the team had to pass through the entire wheat field before they could stop to rest. Otherwise, Colonel Mastin gave an order to rest and everyone sat on the ridge to rest. It was about to suffer, but apparently Albert also invited some of his friends. A box of luncheon meat that was enough for one person to share with several teenagers seemed a bit small, even if there were some prepared fresh hazelnuts. Mushrooms are also slightly insufficient.

But obviously everyone is very good at this kind of dinner, and the person next to him took out a pack of dried ribs and bacon from his backpack, and then said happily: "It just so happens that I still have a piece of bacon that I haven't finished eating, why don't I eat it at noon?" Let's cook together!"

Albert turned his eyes to the oak forest at the end of the wheat field, and said after a while: "Maybe we should eat some fresh game. I heard that during the last experience, someone caught a musk deer in the oak forest. It is said that the meat It's delicious grilled. I thought maybe we could try our luck in the woods!"

"Those reservists from the guard regiment walked in the front, and they scared away all the wild game. How can we hunt it!" Someone said later.

But Albert said: "Go deeper, if you're lucky, you might be able to meet! Anyway, we're getting closer to the battlefield, and those reserve soldiers don't want to go any further. I guess they can only walk through it today." This wheat field will be camped and rested, and we will definitely not act rashly until news of the battlefield ahead comes. So we have a lot of time to hunt."

There were a lot of complaints in the words, and it seemed that there was a lot of dissatisfaction with the Knights of the Police Agency.

"Stop whining, let's think about how we can have a good lunch. I've heard that Mr. Liante brought out his youngest son this time. It seems to be you. Hello, my name is Yi Fu Li!" The man also introduced himself very directly, and then said: "We have been Tracy's playmates since we were young, but that guy has become more and more disgusted with us who grew up together since he went to school in Staines. She's a big friend now, she has her own circle of friends, so we haven't seen each other before!"

"Call me Jia, Ifli..."

I have always felt that Tracy does not have many friends. She rarely brings friends home. Occasionally, those girls or boys in ordinary clothes will be very reserved. They prefer to stand in the villa Outside the door, wait for Tracy.I always felt a little strange. At first I even thought that Tracy rarely invited friends to my house to guard against me. Later, I gradually discovered that she didn’t have many friends, and as a commoner, her friends were even more A little more.

At this time, I realized that she didn't have no friends, but for some reason, those friends who had played with her all the time were now unfamiliar.

However, these people are very warm to me and have good intentions, which I can clearly feel.

I turned my head and looked at Leonte, who was walking steadily in the line not far behind. He seemed to encourage me to come out and communicate with these teenagers more. Maybe in the eyes of him and Fanny, my character is a bit too introverted , I have always liked to hide in the attic for the past few years, and now I have a rare opportunity to meet some peers who are a few years older than myself, and maybe I can make some friends. Friends, I will have a trip every year.

Seeing someone accept me into their circle has been very supportive for Lyondt.

...beautiful dividing line...

Stepping on the damp and rotten leaves of dead trees in the forest, these elites of the Stas School did not know that the sound of the dead branches and leaves being broken would scare away many small beasts, or make them hide in advance. Go into the cave and walk in the forest like this. If you can catch prey, there are only some stupid roe deer.

There are only three of us in this team, Albert, Ifli and me.The two of them are the same age as Tracy, but Albert is a seventh-level warrior apprentice who is good at using polearms. First.And the strong Ivli is wearing a pair of iron gloves, and a pair of armguards with countless barbs are tied on his wrists, and the same is true on his legs. One can tell at a glance that he is a fighter who is good at melee combat .

Yves raised his head and straightened his chest, looked up at the giant oak tree soaring into the sky, turned around and chatted with me: "Jia, you are almost going to school!"
