God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 67 Battlefield and Killing

The warm wind gently took away the heat of the afternoon, just like a passionate young girl's unchanging tenderness for her sweetheart.

If it was two months ago, Ed would have enjoyed meditating or practicing martial arts in this kind of weather, but now, he doesn't have that leisurely elegance at all.

He has been fighting with the army for almost a full month.

During this period, he experienced dozens of battles, large and small.With these "magicians" joining them, the main army they belong to can retreat unscathed every time, and the large amount of potion on their bodies allows them to recover better than ordinary soldiers. , or let everyone suffer.

Perhaps seeing the exhaustion of Ed and the others, Steve, the legion leader, rode up to Ed.Handed Ed a kettle half-flatteringly.

"Little Mage Ed, please be patient for a while. If we move forward at this speed, I believe we can get a night's rest at dusk."

Ed's heart burst into flames!He didn't pick up the other party's water bottle, and said coldly: "General Steve, I'm not pointing fingers. But we left the border of Fallen Leaf Country yesterday morning. Can you tell me now, where are we going?"

"Actually, if you don't ask, I will tell you. Our goal this time is the wheat territory in the southwest of the Blue Lion Country."

When Ed heard this, his expression became even uglier.

"Have you taken a fancy to the wheat territory, a major grain producer? But I'm curious. Shangfeng clearly knew that that place was one of the first areas where civil strife broke out in Blue Lion. The supplies for less than three days... I really want to know, is the person who made this plan out of his head? Does he understand military strategy?"

Steve didn't dare to speak out like Ed. He pondered for a moment, but said: "Actually, what His Royal Highness wants is to occupy this territory. Without support and lack of sufficient mobility, it is also to strengthen the soldiers. Determination!"

"His Royal Highness is planning to let everyone dig three feet in this territory? Didn't he consider whether he can hold this territory with a group of bandit soldiers who burned, killed and looted?"

"Don't occupy it for a long time, in exchange for enough strategic depth. The war in the southern part of our Fallen Leaf Country is corrupt, so we have to make a bad move..."

The more Steve explained, the bigger the sneer on Ed's face. "Ah, I see! It turns out that Bill is unable to take back what belongs to him from one neighbor, but he has to find a balance from another neighbor's house! Hehe, he is really qualified as the crown prince!"

That Steve didn't answer, but shouted at the surrounding soldiers.

"Listen, everyone, don't expect any comfortable shelter and delicious food ahead, we are going to occupy it, this is war!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the ground under my feet trembled violently!There are earthquakes in this world, but compared to Ed and the others who have only been in the army for a month, that Steve's face is full of dignity!
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the horizon!Although Steve's men were no longer the mere three thousand who were defending the pass.But according to it, there are at least ten thousand people on the other side!
The number of the two sides is almost the same, but Ed's side is infantry, while the other side is all cavalry!Steve's eyes flickered.But he still ordered.

"Array! The pikemen are on the periphery! Don't let them come in easily..."

In the end, he couldn't even hear his own voice, because the ten thousand light cavalry in the distance had already started to charge quickly!

Ed's pupils almost shrank into a black spot!Fighting against a group of cavalry on plain terrain, any fool can see how disadvantageous it is!But he was already on the disadvantaged side, as long as he didn't think about running away for a moment, he had to serve this army!

The shaking of the ground gradually intensified as the cavalry approached. Steve's well-trained soldiers quickly formed a square formation, but it seemed irreversible that they were unilaterally killed!

what to do?Could this be teleporting away?To be honest, after enjoying the careful care of the soldiers for a month, Ed really didn't want to give up on them!

Don't think about magic, even if Ed can really release seventh-level magic, it is impossible to reverse the situation.But just relying on those stumbles and refusal posts and the like...

Suddenly, Ed's heart moved.He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he went to the grassland with his teacher, a Mongolian friend almost died when he broke his horse's leg because of a small shallow pit when he was galloping his horse!
If in the previous life, thinking about being charged by cavalry, it would be impossible to dig a horse pit to resist now.But in this world, there is something called magic!

Ed made up his mind, and immediately pulled over Pinkie, Raz, and Arnold, who knew earth magic.Everyone has learned the fourth-level ground trap, but it is useless in this kind of galloping horses, but it seems that it is not difficult to create a separation zone composed of [-] cm deep and shallow pits on the ground...

A moment ago, those cavalry were still far apart, but at this moment their cavalry had already rushed to the periphery of the phalanx!Although every soldier held his own long gun, the depressed atmosphere permeated everyone's hearts!
"Pfft... Herod..."

A knight rushing forward suddenly fell to the ground!It was like the first domino that was suddenly pushed down, and the cavalry behind fell down like a pair of dumpling!
The soldiers were dumbfounded, Steve was stunned, and even Ed, the instigator, was stunned by the effect he had caused!

After a long time, that Steve finally came back to his senses. He yelled and began to direct his men to counterattack the fallen cavalry!Plains, cavalry against infantry, this is indeed a one-sided killing.But now, the target of this killing is exactly the opposite!

A burst of screams came into Ed's nose along with the strong smell of blood.It's great to be able to destroy the enemy without bloodshed, but the key is that Ed can't see the slightest bit of mercy on the faces of those murderous soldiers on his side...

* *

Following the troops, everyone quickly entered the only city in the wheat territory, Maisui City.

The scene everyone saw was exactly like what Steve said before the last battle.The originally beautiful houses have now become piles of ruins!There is no living person in sight, not even a usable vessel!

Even the Wheat Ear Castle located in the center of the city has already seen large gaps, not to mention for defense, it is used for the most basic residence, but it seems very reluctant!

Steve was neither sad nor happy, and began to direct the soldiers to clean up the entire castle for occupancy.Although Ed didn't say anything to irritate him, his expression was still pale as he walked in the castle.

This place is so clean!It was clean without even a broken blade, nor even a small piece of metal!Regardless of whether this place was ransacked because of several wars, or because the enemy army had already seen through the plan of that stupid Prince Bill and took a strong wall to clear the country.At least it seems impossible to defend in this ghost place!

In any case, with the supplies and horse meat from the previous battle, the troops settled in the dilapidated castle step by step.As Ed and the others who were willing to participate in the war and have been with the army, they were naturally placed in the most intact area of ​​the castle.

But in the face of such a resting place, Ed rarely encountered difficulties.This place is really too big and wide.It is not without this condition to consume a large amount of magic crystals or crystal nuclei to arrange a defensive circle, but a place like this where you don't know how long it will stay is not worth the effort.

At this time, Arnold suddenly came to Ed, holding more than a dozen triangular plant seeds in his hand.

"Arnold, this is..."

"This is the seed of the king piranha. I bought it with alchemy at the last trade fair."

When it comes to defensive magic circles, they are generally only arranged at fixed locations.As the defense of the temporary resting place, all kinds of magical plants are the real mainstream.

But when it comes to the king piranha, to be honest, let alone this small area of ​​theirs, as long as the temperature, light, water and other conditions are suitable, this plant will not be a problem even if it is covered with the entire castle in a few days!But the key is that this plant is too aggressive, if you don't go through some special alchemy methods...

Ed asked Arnold about this, but the latter gave him an unexpected answer. "You said that this plant may eat soldiers without magic power in its body? Hehe, I have been researching this aspect recently. As long as we use alchemy to make this plant think that we are all companion bugs in its body, it will all be solved."

Ed couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.I have been focusing on magic balls and incident props, and indeed I have done little research in this area.Just seeing Arnold's appearance, there should be something to say.

"Actually, it was Lien who asked me to tell you something. Last time you used such a simple method to kill [-] Qingqi. He was worried that the other party would become angry and use other means."

Ed's heart trembled, and he accepted the statement. "By the way, why didn't Lien himself come and tell me?"

Arnold smiled faintly.Looking at Ed seriously, he said, "Before the war started, no one would have thought that the tempering of the battlefield would have such a good effect on physical fitness and magic power...By the way, Ed, is your wind ball magic a secret wind technique?"

"That's just the most basic wind magic, Gust Ball, can't you think of it? Hehe, in fact, I didn't think of it until I practiced this magic to get a deep understanding of the truth."

"Still can't catch up with you! You have researched so many tricks in a wind magic." Arnold said half-truthfully.

"By the way, it's fine to plant this Rafflesia flower in the well of the castle, but before that, I need to make some special magic circles, you have to help me!"

Ed readily accepted.At the same time, because of his conversation with Arnold, he had the idea of ​​ignoring the rules of the skill tree and learning a high-level wind magic trick.
