Lord Highlander

  Chapter 447 446. Entrustment of the Magician

  On the peak of an unnamed mountain, Viscount Emmett and the commanders of the other two guard battalions got together to discuss the matter of notifying the magician investigation team.

After leaving the town of Meijin, the Knights of the Guard Battalion did not return to Wojmara City by the same route, but plunged head-on into the jungle, walked west along the river valley for about half a day, and completely drove the hellhounds in Meijin Town far away. Throwing aside, this mountain forest is not the path of **** dogs, and the farther away from Wojmara city, even if there are scattered **** dogs in the surrounding area, there will be fewer and fewer **** dogs encountered.

   Along the way, I also saw a small village that was slaughtered by **** dogs. The whole village has been burned to ruins by the lava fire.

Due to the abundance of supplies for this operation, Viscount Emmet believes that the guard battalion can also contain the **** dogs outside the small town of Meijin, preventing the **** dogs in the town and the grown-up demon sons from migrating and hiding. Therefore, they stationed on the hillside of Wuming Peak, which is less than 20 kilometers away from Meijin Town, and dispatched more than 30 scout teams led by Constructed Knights to closely observe the movements of the hellhounds in Meijin Town. .

  As three gorgeous magic flares exploded in the dusk sky, gorgeous and colorful colors bloomed.

The Earl of Collins, the guard camp of Pless City, walked up to Viscount Emmett. The Collins family is considered a nobleman in Pless City. After retiring from the position of consul, although the Collins family is not as glorious as it used to be, the members of the Collins family are deeply rooted in various departments of Plus City, which is far from comparable to the Emmett family in Hailansa City.

  And Emmett is only a second-class viscount, two levels behind Earl Collins in the rank of Lord.

Viscount Owen, the commander of Constantinople, is one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation of the Owen family. The Owen family has ruled Constantinople for nearly two hundred years, and all departments of Constantinople have been taken over by the Owen family. Control, although Viscount Owen is on the same level as Viscount Emmett in the rank of lord, his future development will be smooth.

Ordinarily, this reconnaissance mission is no matter what, Viscount Emmett can't take the position of the real commander, but it is precisely the city of Hailansa that has successfully completed the reconnaissance mission, so the two commanders tried their best to get Amy Viscount Te pushed to the position of first commander.

   After completing the task, according to Earl Collins' idea, the three guard battalions will return to Wojmara along the road they traveled before, which is the safest way.

However, the two young commanders Emmet and Owen had different opinions. The Viscount Owen of Constantinople was more radical. He believed that the three guard battalions should be combined to attack the small town of Meijin immediately and kill the demon sons in the town. He was killed in infancy, but the 1,500 knights now, even if they stick to Taniguchi, it is too much to resist the attack of the hellhounds in Meijin town, so the strategy of attacking Meijin town is obviously too radical.

In the end, it was Viscount Emmett who suggested that the knights of the guard battalion retreat to the outskirts of Meijin Town, and sent a large number of scout teams to closely investigate around Meijin Town, to prevent the devil's son from Meijin Town from being transferred secretly, and try to avoid fighting with **** dogs. Keep fighting power and wait for Wozmara City to send Construct Knights to wipe out the hellhounds in Meijin town.

  …

Earl Collins stood on a rock, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance and the setting sun that was about to fall into the mountain ridge. His gray beard and hair were a little disheveled by the spring and summer wind of the Maca plane. His eyes fell on the Plex guard camp In the forest glade where they were stationed, this operation was considered to be the guard battalion with the most serious casualties among the three guard battalions so far.

  Earl Collins has participated in at least hundreds of large and small wars in his life.

Five years ago, the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty had not withdrawn from the Grimm Empire. At that time, each battle group would have a priest in charge of healing and two battle priests. The knights at that time were not afraid of being injured at all. , the knights on the battlefield marched forward bravely, but when hundreds of thousands of priests and battle priests withdrew from the Grimm Empire one after another, it was difficult to see the priests on the battlefield.

  Since then, wounded on the battlefield means death, and brave knights have become timid.

The Knights of the Guard Battalion of Puls City were also issued three years ago with standard military repeating crossbows. Shooting the enemy with crossbows can minimize the casualties of one's own side. At that time, Earl Collins was quite proud of himself for this move, but it was short-lived. In just three years, the knights who used to pick up standard military crossbows no longer knew how to use spears and shields. This time, the scouting mission on the Maca plane revealed a fatal flaw.

  The knights of the Guard Battalion in Plus City were on the battlefield of the Maca plane after their melee ability was greatly weakened. Once the hellhounds pounced on the army formation, the resistance and fighting will of the knights of the Plush Guard Battalion were also the worst, and the army became a mess. This is also the root cause of the largest number of casualties in the Guard Battalion of Plush City.

  A guard battalion knight from Hailansa City is holding a silver long knife to treat the wounded Plex knight at the moment.

  A ray of holy light appeared from the knight's hand from time to time, attracting the attention of Earl Collins.

  He thought of the battle priests in the temple back then. They also wore battle armor and fought with the knights, but when they were resting, they put down their weapons and used the holy power in their bodies to heal the knights.

  Having the protection of the goddess, they seem to be tireless, like a war machine, constantly busy. Only when the sun rises, they need a short time to meditate and pray to restore the divine power in their bodies.

  The knight of Hailansa City also kept treating injured knights like a battle priest.

For a moment, Earl Collins' thoughts flew back to a few years ago. At that time, he was still in his prime. He rode a horse and ran from morning to night without feeling tired. Like falling apart, he didn't even dare to lie down, because he was worried that he might not be able to get up if he lay down.

  The Earl of Collins jumped off the boulder and sat down against the boulder.

  Viscount Emmett came to him and sat aside, squinting at the sunset in the sky.

   "Why do you have combat priests in your guard battalion?" Earl Collins looked at Suldak's busy figure and asked Viscount Emmet curiously.

"Are you talking about the Suldak knight again?" Viscount Emmet knew who Earl Collins was talking about without asking carefully, and immediately explained: "He is not some kind of combat priest, he is just from the heavy armored infantry regiment. An ordinary soldier who came out now joined our Hailansa Guard Battalion and became a glorious Guard Battalion Knight. However, it is said that he has comprehended the sacred magic elements in his body and can practice both magic and martial arts like a magic swordsman. It's just a sacred magic element..."

   This is the explanation given by the Magic Union. With the endorsement of the Magic Union, Emmet doesn't care whether this statement is credible or not. This is the standard answer.

However, Earl Collins would not question the magic union just because of the face of a certain magician. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I have only heard about the awakening of the four-line magic element perception, but I have never heard of anyone else. You are really lucky to be able to awaken the perception of sacred elements, and you Hailansa Guard Battalion is really lucky. With such a constructed knight, you don’t know how many people will die in this war!"

  Then Earl Collins paused again, and then added with a smile: "Hehe, but you said that he was promoted all the way from the infantry regiment, and finally became a knight of the guard battalion, so he is not a nobleman?"

  Viscount Emmet's treatment of Suldak was limited to some written words. Before he left the city of Hailansa, he didn't even know that there was a knight named Suldak in the guard camp.

However, Viscount Emmett has done a lot of homework recently. He said to Earl Collins: "Well, he joined the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment as a civilian. During his military service in the Warsaw plane, Mond Earl Goss recommended to become a reserve knight, and he is currently studying at the High Lansa Knight Academy, but he has now been officially awarded the title of knight by the High Lansa Knights."

  Once an official knight is conferred, it means that he has a knight collar, and this knight has basically been branded with the brand of some lord.

But how could Earl Collins care about this? He has seen this kind of thing a lot, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the sky and said, "If... I mean, if I want to pull him to settle in Plex, what do you think of Hailansa? How much resistance will there be on the city side?"

  Viscount Emmet didn't expect that Suldak would be spotted by Earl Collins, but it wouldn't be too strange.

After all, he is a knight with the power of the Holy Light. Viscount Emmett laughed dryly and said, "I don't know about this. He is a popular man in the eyes of Captain Saul Aldington. You should think about it. Just tell Saul!"

Earl Collins frowned slightly, and said: "You mean that hot-tempered kid from the Aldington family? It seems that I want to lure this Suldak knight to the city of Plex, and I have to wait a long time." It’s been a lot of twists and turns!”

   Seeing Collins blatantly proclaiming that he wanted to poach someone, Viscount Emmet smiled unceremoniously and said to Earl Collins: "It is impossible for us at the Hailansa Guard Battalion to give you this opportunity, Lord Collins."

   "Hehe, then you have to watch out for people." Earl Collins said.

  …

  The knights of the guard battalion located on the mountainside, of course, would not know that the two commanders on the top of the mountain, who were talking happily, would actually argue with each other because of a constructed knight.

Samira, the half-elf archer, was leaning against the edge of the tent, carefully handling the heads of hellhounds. Although she knew that they could not be taken away, she still handled each of them very carefully. Reluctant to throw away.

The knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion discovered that besides the head of the hellhound, this half-elf archer also likes the shiny silver coins. As long as he is willing to take out a little silver coins, he can get some of her help For example, you can ask her to hunt some delicious pheasants in the surrounding mountains and forests. She is familiar with the jungles here, and even more familiar with the game that lives here, and knows that the meat of that kind of wild birds is more tender.

  Her archery skills are very precise, as long as she takes a shot, she seldom returns empty-handed.

  The most important thing is that she can leave the battalion anytime and anywhere without being reprimanded by Captain Emmet.

This is because in addition to bringing back game in the wild, she can also bring back some hemostatic grass and local herbs. Although they are not expensive magic herbs, they are very helpful for the injuries of the knights in the guard camp, so Emmet The viscount gave Samira the right to freely enter and leave the camp.

  This half-elf archer seldom wanders around in the camp. Whenever she is in the camp, she will definitely sit outside the tent of the Suldak knights. If she cannot be found here, then she must have gone out to dig into the woods.

Andrew, a Nanai warrior, became Suldak's assistant. This aborigine with big hands like big cattail fans has his own unique way of setting bones and bandaging, and he is very meticulous and serious in his work. The two newcomers The new members who joined the Hailansa Guard Corps, in just three days, have integrated into this big group very well.

Andrew taught everyone to collect a kind of wormwood leaves, mash it and apply it on the face and arms, so as not only to avoid mosquito bites around, but also to blend in with the surrounding jungle, even if you sweat because of the sultry heat of the jungle, It won't wash those green paints off either.

  …

   In fact, the three commanders did not wait too long at the unnamed mountain.

Just before the sunset completely entered the mountain depression, two black dots finally appeared in the sky. As the two black dots gradually enlarged, two figures riding on magic handles appeared in the sky, being cautious about the surrounding affairs, The two magicians circled in the sky and found no trace of the hellhound in the surrounding area, so they landed slowly on the glade on the magic horn.

  The two young magicians walked down and asked the surrounding knights: "Who is the commander of the guard battalion?"

Viscount Emmett, Earl Collins, and Viscount Owen walked down from the top of the mountain at the same time and saw the two young magicians. They were not in a hurry to tell the information, but checked the identities of the two magicians before talking about it. Information in the small town of Umezu.

The magicians heard that there were many young demon children in the small town of Meijin. They were also taken aback by the explosive news. Seeing that the three commanders hadn't finished explaining the matter, they had no choice but to listen quietly.

  The two magicians did not expect that the guard battalion would take the initiative to undertake the investigation and surveillance tasks here, so they agreed in a hurry.

Before leaving, the two magicians asked for help from the guard camp: the reason was that a magician from the reconnaissance team had disappeared inexplicably in this mountain forest for about two days. After that, the magician group sent people to search for it, but they didn't get any clues, as if the magician disappeared out of thin air.

  But since the guard battalion has spread a large number of scouting teams to this jungle, it is very likely that they will find clues about the missing magician...

   To make up for yesterday’s, there is still today
