The Lange Line is a section of defense on the southwestern border of Todel, close to the Land of the Dead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the vast territory and strength of the Kingdom of the Dead, in the mutual defense agreement reached by the basic principles of the Holy Alliance, the Kingdom of the Dead is not only responsible for defending the borders of order in its own country, but also responsible for coordinating the defense of some western and southern borders, and the Lange Line overlaps with the defense line that the Dead is responsible for.

In the materials of the Victor College Library, the boy found that although the Lange defense line was extremely long, because the defensive line was relatively inward, and the flanks were all safe areas that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, the attacks were often not violent. According to the book, if the line of defense is divided into four classes according to the defensive pressure based on the experience of the past years, and the large section of the defense line in the north and the large section of the defense line in the south, which was the most tragic in the Battle of the Blood Moon, are considered to be first-class, then the Gran defense line is only third-class pressure, not even second-class.

These were the introductions that Morin had found about the Lange Line in these days, and it also made him suspicious.

On such a line of defense that was not very stressful, when Daddy Pike was in command of the Seventh Legion to defend it, what did Daddy mean when he said that he had made great contributions in the Battle of the Blood Moon?

It's a pity that the authority is not enough for the time being, and the young man can only step up his training every day, hoping to cross the threshold of the fifty steps of the trial ladder as soon as possible.

Halfway through the summer, Iluvita students who were on exchange at Victor received a notice that a special airship would come to pick them up before the start of the semester, so Strayer also came here a few days before the end of the exchange semester, preparing to return to the academy with Osmond and Morin.

It is said that because of his historical origins, Strayer was able to talk and meet with the dean of Victor College for a long time, and was treated with great courtesy, after all, this island is called Victor Island, which was originally founded by the royal family of Lothar.

And Morin, after experimenting with the badge-like command trainer, finally agreed to Talisa's request to catch a blue crystal bubble fish for her later when she was able. On the one hand, he was afraid that Talisa would stick to him and follow him back to Iluvita - it was very likely that she would not leave for a moment, and on the other hand, after experimenting, it was discovered that this command training instrument was indeed extremely valuable, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was even worth a city.

After activating this training badge, Morin was immediately pulled into a magical illusion, the magic illusion is exactly the same as Victor Island, and on this island, you can enter and exit various training grounds for various command training, you can also activate challenges such as the trial ladder, and you can also query the content of the information in the academy library and data tower, just like really on this island, the only small problem is that the real owner of this badge is Talisa, and the records left by Morin in various training grounds when he used it are also Talisa's name.

This meant that even if Morin returned to Iluvita, he would still have access to more than half of Victor's Academy's training facilities, compared to a blue crystal bubble fish.

Maureen was of course also grateful to Professor Bolburn, who had advocated for the badge to be lent to him, and he was so impressed by the old man who had presided over the college examination last year that he asked Talisha about his office and made a special trip to visit the old man.

Bolburn was still dissatisfied with the boy's going to the magic academy, and complained to the boy.

"I said you little guy, obviously very suitable for learning to command, but you want to go to the magic academy to become a mage, and your guy in charge of admissions, called Brand, right, I really didn't expect him to actually have a set of !! behind the surface" Bolburn said angrily: "I obviously said that I refused to admit you, but in the end I still admitted you, I thought you should come to our academy when I went to recruit students this year!"

Merlin smiled awkwardly, and there was no way to explain that he was a fatalistic mage who was destined not to be able to connect to the sea of magic, there was only a small puddle of magic that needed to be exercised to strengthen the connection, etc., and although the tactical command or something was also very interesting, if the war really broke out, he might prefer to fight on the battlefield in person, just like the previous king of Errol who rushed to the front line like he saw before.

In addition, the fact that he was admitted to the academy really has nothing to do with Blood-Eyed Brand, according to Daddy Pike's unreliable statement, it should be that some big man directly recommended him to Iluvita Academy around the time he was born.

There is no way to explain this to Professor Bolburn, so Professor Brand can only take the blame for the time being.

"And that blood-eyed monster!" Bolburn said again: "In previous years, he came to Lothar to be in charge of the enrollment of new students in your academy, but this year he didn't come!

"Maybe there's something else Professor Brand can't get out of......" Merlin subconsciously explained to him.

……

To the south of Lothar, the forests of the Gangdi stretch endlessly.

If the strength is strong enough to look down from the sky, you can find that starting from the northern border of the Gangdi Forest, in the process of extending all the way to the south, you can draw three regional zones, the northernmost and closest to the range of the order of fire, the forest grows normally, dense and full of life, and the towering canopy of the big trees rises and falls in the sun, and the birdsong is endless, and the lively is extraordinary.

A little further into a zone of 100 kilometers wide, the forest looks a little different from the one to the north, both the tree species and the biome look a little weird, the plants are bright and mixed, and most of the flocks are gone, replaced by the sporadic larger birds of prey, such as the long-winged eagle.

Farther south, the sky began to become dangerous rapidly, and the violent magic fluctuations and whirlwinds under the clouds became more and more, and the lightning in the clear sky slashed straight down, even a powerful magician could not stay in such a sky for a long time, and the forests on the earth were even more unrecognizable, the branches of tall trees were twisted into ugly shapes, and the lightning that fell from the sky from time to time ignited patches of fire everywhere, and the dwarf shrubs and plants grew and died at a terrifying rate, and almost in the blink of an eye, a seed could sprout a dwarf bush, as if time had passed at a thousandfold speed。

This is the area known as the Black Forest.

Normal animals are rarely seen here, and most of the monsters that occasionally emerge are distorted and ugly like trees, and some even have mutilated or redundant limbs, as if cursed by a dark nightmare.

Even if the sun is blazing, the forest is still filled with a very faint white mist, which looks extremely ominous, and a black figure is walking quickly through the forest.

It was Brand, who was holding a black deadwood cane with a small dark red particle embedded in it, the dried blood residue he had collected earlier, and it was slightly turning with the cane.

He traveled very fast, it seemed that the harsh environment did not cause him the slightest interference, and none of the countless electric lights falling from the sky slashed at him, it seemed that the lightning was consciously avoiding him, and it seemed that he had judged the location of the lightning in advance, and it seemed that he was already extremely familiar with such an environment.

I don't know what he sensed, the trajectory of his progress bypassed half an arc, and before he could go far, a magic vortex suddenly exploded where he had just bypassed, leveling the surrounding bushes.

After another distance, Brand paused at his feet, stopped abruptly, looked at the sunburned dirt under his feet with blood-colored eyes, and reached out to grab it in the air.

A broken feathered arrow rose deep into the earth.

It looks like the feathered arrows should have been long, with a turquoise hue and tail feathers that have been worn away but the arrows are still sharp. Brand took a closer look at the arrow, and brought it close to the blood particle on the cane, and a black magic streak appeared between the two, I don't know what it meant.

Brand took the arrow off and put it away, crouched down and closed his eyes with one hand to the ground for a while, probably without finding any other useful clues, he stood up and reactivated his magic, and the wooden staff in his hand suddenly turned around.

Seeing the turn of the wooden staff, Brand was slightly stunned, frowned and whispered suspiciously, "You shouldn't run away this way...... Why didn't you go any further...... Did the arrow hurt him too badly, or was there something else going on here...... A whole year is too long for the Chaos Forest......"

He casually dropped the turquoise arrow without an arrow, and continued to chase it in the direction that the wooden staff in his hand was pointing......

……

In mid-August, the constellation of the earthly python Jörmangande is in the middle of the night sky.

It is said that this end-to-end dark green constellation is one of the oldest constellations, and even as early as the entire Broken World Order race just came out of ignorance, it was found that this end-to-end constellation was carved in the ancient rocks, I don't know how many years have passed, those rocks must have turned to powder, and this constellation still shines in the night sky.

Therefore, the earthly python is also one of the oldest gods, legend has it that his huge body can entangle and shatter an entire plane, and the blood basin giant mouth can swallow everything, and some people even say that there are individual continents in the broken world that cannot see the sun, moon and stars, because it was swallowed by the earthly python a long time ago.

Under the stars, Merlin withdrew from the trial ladder and stretched comfortably.

After persevering in training, he decided to challenge again before leaving, and sure enough, he made progress again, and finally survived the fifty-step mark. Orlan, who had expected the boy to succeed, waited for him and once again led him to the Battle Data Tower, where he successfully activated Baron Pike's record card.

They fell into a magical illusion, and this time they came directly to a city, where young Pike was shaking hands with another middle-aged soldier, and behind each of them stood a square, but the soldiers behind the middle-aged soldiers on the opposite side were all tired on their faces, and even their armor was a little broken.

"This is General Nicker, a general from the Lark Empire, who is still on the front lines and still commanding the coalition forces. Oran recognized it at once, and introduced to Morin: "This must be Lange, the most important logistics town in the entire Lange defense line, and the ceremony at this time should be handing over and changing guards." ”

Sure enough, I only heard the middle-aged soldier Nick said: "General Pike, the Orlan defense line will be handed over to you next, if it weren't for the fact that our manpower is really seriously damaged and we have no combat strength, I wouldn't have wanted to apply for a change of defense." ”

Pike saluted respectfully, "Thanks to General Nick and the men on the front lines all winter to hold the Langer Line under the tide of chaos, the entire South, no, all of Toddle would like to thank you for your efforts." ”

"That's it. Nick waved his hand and smiled slightly: "It's just a blessing not to be dishonored." ”

"I don't know what's going on this time, the chaotic tide actually arrived ahead of schedule, everyone was caught off guard, and the strength of the tide has not been seen for thousands of years, and then I ask General Pike to be more careful. He said and handed a cube crystal to Pike: "This is the core array of the Lange Line, the control enchantments of the large and small fortresses on the defense line, the scout crystals and large magic machines in each stronghold, the battle report records of this winter and the current material reserves, are all here, please take a look." ”

I don't know how Pike triggered the core of the defensive line, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and nodded.

"By the way, I still have more than 4,000 soldiers here who are in good condition and can continue to hold on, I have drawn two regiments, these two are the regiment commanders, and then I will ask General Pike to take care of them. With that, Niked led out two tall warriors from behind him.

The two warriors saw the young overly Pike, and their faces showed a slight hint of doubt, but they still saluted Pike respectfully and walked behind Pike.

"Although General Pike is young, he has been to the front line several times, has rich experience in actual combat command, and the level of combat against chaos is still above mine, since you two want to stay and continue to fight, you two should obey General Pike's command and do your duty. General Nickard admonished again.

Young Pike said with a smile: "General False, I can serve as the commander of the corps is also thanks to the recognition and love of the generals, I am not familiar with this line of defense or the recruits under my command when I first arrive, the two regiment commanders can stay to help, it has helped me a lot, I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with the general in the future." ”

After speaking, he saluted again: "The war is urgent, so I will not delay General Nicker's rest, I hope you can return to the front line as soon as possible." ”

This illusion fades away, and Merlin and Orlan fall into a new illusion.

This is supposed to be a command hall, and in the middle is a slender terrain shown by magical images, which looks like it should be the entire Lange Line, and many people around it seem to be very busy coming and going.

Standing on the edge of the magical terrain, Pike randomly drew the symbolic arrows one by one, zoomed in and out the entire terrain map, and checked the layout and direction of the various teams, while the lieutenants around him reported real-time messages at the same time.

"This is a map of the battlefield, as long as the magic connection is unblocked, you can show the location of each unit, and the psychic link magic is not too far away, so the commander-in-chief like the Legion Commander needs to use other magic to herald. Orlan said, he looked carefully at the topographic map and said, "It looks like the change of guard should have been completed long ago, and now General Pike has been stationed on the Lange Line for a while, and this time there is a week or two between the last illusion." ”

Seeing that there was nothing urgent in front of him, Oran introduced again: " You haven't learned anything about Nightmare Beasts in your first grade, so I'll tell you briefly: chaos has always been an erosion of order, but it has never shown strict coordinated command, and the most common is to attack in the form of the embodiment of the Nightmare Beasts, so the main task of a defense line like Lange is to block the Nightmare Beasts that come at any time, which requires discovering the traces of the Nightmare Beasts in advance and judging the direction of their attacks, and the second is to reduce the sporadic infiltration of Nightmare Beasts, and occasionally one or two fish slip through the net does not matter, but once a small group of beasts passes through the defense line, it may cause a devastating blow to the towns in the rear。 ”

He pointed to Pike's topographical map and said, "Therefore, the soldiers stationed on the defensive line are also distributed in the form of corps and detachments, in addition to strongholds and fortifications, and support and cooperate with each other at any time, but they are not evenly stationed on such a long defensive line, so that the whole defense line seems to be leaky, but in fact it is very weak, and it is impossible to resist the large herd of beasts in any place." ”

"Therefore, the level of the commander is extremely demanding. Oran added.

At this moment, the adjutant beside Pike's face changed, and he lost his voice: "Received an urgent call for help!
