Lord Harland

Chapter 30 Highland Meditation

When Richard returned to Harden Castle, he did not disturb anyone else.

Richard went to Vickburg last night, and happened to not receive a combat mission today.

He went to Vickburg this time, and outsiders didn't know about it for the time being.

The reason why Richard took the first step and got the background of Baron Stopa's family is the most critical reason for his position.

After the defeat of Wald's Brigade, Fort Vick was deserted.

Only a few officers such as Richard, Diarra, Owen, and Ron could seize this opportunity.

Li Cha's brain turned the fastest, and he immediately put it into action that night, and only then did he obtain the inheritance of the baron family.

After resting for a day, Li Cha received the battle report.

Baron Harden, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin and Captain Sharp defeated the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Brigade. Gunderson could only flee into the Eagle Mountain Range with the defeated soldiers.

The battle on the defense line of the Platos Mountains finally came to an early end.

After the Battle of the Platos defense line, Baron Harden joined Lieutenant Colonel Marvin and went to Fort Flame for reinforcements. The Eighth Battalion stayed behind to rest at Castle Harden and was responsible for the defense in this direction.

Fighting for two consecutive months, the Eighth Squadron suffered huge losses. The strongest force now is the Sixth Squadron under the command of Diarra, and the temporary squadron under the command of Richard.

After Captain Sharp came to Harden Castle, he brought a new appointment.

Li Cha was transferred to be the captain of the [-]th Squadron, and his elder brother Ron took over the position of Li Cha's deputy squadron leader of the [-]th Squadron.

The Seventh Squadron is a newly formed squadron. Originally, there were not enough soldiers. Most of the soldiers were killed or injured in the battle. The former squadron leader was also killed in the follow-up battle.

Now the Seventh Squadron has only more than 20 soldiers.

However, these more than 20 soldiers have participated in the city defense battle for more than two months. Although their physical fitness is not good, they are already veterans who have participated in hard battles mentally.

The temporary squadron under Li Cha's command is all recovered wounded soldiers, mainly soldiers from the Eighth Battalion, and there are also wounded soldiers from the Reconnaissance Brigade of some legions.

The provisional squadron is currently the most complete. Captain Sharp only gave Li Cha [-] soldiers and asked him to bring them to the Seventh Squadron.

Hayden still followed Richard this time and was transferred to the Seventh Squadron.With Li Cha's care, although Hayden's strength is not strong, he is not in the key direction of the battle every time.

When encountering tough battles, Li Cha would go into battle himself, leaving Hayden behind. After several months of fighting, Hayden remained unscathed in the battle.

There was a serious shortage of soldiers, and Captain Sharp recruited hundreds of recruits from refugees to supplement the battle losses of the Eighth Battalion.

Li Cha took the soldiers to the Seventh Squadron, and found that the Seventh Squadron was in pretty good condition. There were more than [-] veterans in total, and their combat effectiveness was estimated to be second only to the Sixth Squadron.The previous main squadron was all disabled this time, and [-]% to [-]% of them were recruits.

If the Eighth Brigade wants to restore its combat effectiveness, it is estimated that it will take two or three years of training.

In the ensuing battle, the Eighth Battalion could only undertake the tasks of the second and third lines, and the Legion Department did not transfer them to the main battlefield, but stayed in the direction of Platos to rest.

Now the seventh and sixth squadrons have the strongest combat effectiveness, Captain Sharp let these two squadrons station in the Platos fortress group.

The rest of the main force is stationed in Harden Castle, hurrying up to train and restore their combat effectiveness.

With the books found in Baron Stopa's castle, Richard and the Seventh Squadron once again stationed in Castle No. [-].

Castle No. [-] changed hands several times, the fortifications of the city were damaged a lot, and part of the city wall collapsed.

After entering the castle, Li Cha organized training while repairing the city defenses. Soon, more than a month passed, and it entered August.

In the past month, the rewards from the Legion Headquarters have also been distributed.

Ordinary soldiers received double pay, and officers at the squadron level were rewarded with [-] gold coins.

The most important thing is the battle exploits. The canyon ambush commanded by Diarra and Richard completely wiped out the three squadrons of Wald Brigade, which played a key role in the victory of the Platos defense line.

For the victory in this battle, the two squadron leaders each rewarded three medium meritorious service.

In addition, Squadron Leader Diarra reinforced Platos Castle and won a medium meritorious service in defeating the orc commander Gunderson. Richard led twenty cavalry to defeat half a squadron of orcs and won a medium meritorious service.

Li Cha cooperated with soldier Dida to kill the fifth-order lion-headed man Wald, and rewarded Li Cha with two medium meritorious deeds and Dida with one medium meritorious deed.

Counting Li Cha's beheading of the orc professional, six medium skills and three minor skills accumulated in this battle.

After the entire war this year, Li Cha has already accumulated one major achievement and three minor achievements.

After Ron became a professional, he made two small achievements in the follow-up battles, but Hayden still didn't make any achievements.

It is still at war, and many areas cannot communicate.

Li Cha didn't even know about the situation of his father William.

Safety can only be determined through a rough intelligence analysis.

According to the battle report now, the main castles such as Black River Fort, Flame Fort, and Flying Eagle Fort have not been lost.

However, the fortresses at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountain Range suffered heavy losses. Some of these fortresses were the domains of nobles, while others were castles directly under the kingdom, where the main force of the Northern Legion was stationed.

The second elder brother, Barron, is in the Grizzly Legion, and the base of the Grizzly Bear Legion is far from the Wild Lion Legion, and Li Cha doesn't know much about the situation there.

Barron's position is relatively low, and his strength is not very strong. In this cruel war, the losses of junior officers are particularly high.

After the war started, Li Cha did not receive any letters from his family.I don't know whether father William, third uncle Bernie, and second brother Barron have made military exploits?

William has already accumulated a lot of military exploits. If he gains something this year, the family's meritorious service will add up to be enough to be granted the title of hereditary nobleman.

Living in the Kingdom of Grant, there is no title of nobility, and he is always inferior to others.

In the past month or so, Li Cha or led soldiers to train and deal with military affairs in the morning, led soldiers to repair the city wall in the afternoon, and read magic books in the evening.

This magic book is called "Charlotte Explains the Thirteen Commonly Used Spells". In addition to recording the complete meditation method, it also records [-] commonly used spells.

Through the preface of the book, Richard knew that Charlotte was a native magician.

It was active before the establishment of the Grant Kingdom, around 2000 in the Dawn Calendar.

It has been more than 1200 years.

Charlotte is a leader of the Highland Mages' Guild, a magical organization.

The meditation methods recorded in this magic book are very advanced and complete. This set of meditation methods is called the Highland Meditation Method. There are twelve chapters in total, which are enough to practice as a nine-ring magician.

But the number of spells is relatively small, only thirteen kinds.Nine of them are low-level magic, the other three are four-ring magic, and one is five-ring magic.

For a magician, the more magic he masters, the stronger his ability to adapt to complex environments and fight.

Thirteen kinds of magic are far from enough for a magician.

Because of the busy military affairs, he mainly spent his energy on reading magic books, which even affected his breathing practice, and he didn't make much progress in various skills. It was reflected in the experience value, which hadn't increased much in more than a month.
