Chapter 8 On the Journey
When the next morning came again, Dye Yue and Chenxing finally embarked on the journey to escort the "Herb Crystal" to the imperial capital, and before leaving, the king handed them a box made of sandalwood, and the box was placed with a green crystal stone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And before leaving, I told the two of you that you and several other strongest people in the royal city were awarded a "Heber Crystal" at the same time, of course, only one of them was real, and the rest were fake.
"You need to disperse the "breakout" from all directions of the royal city to attract the attention of the enemy army, so that the enemy can disperse his forces to intercept you, so that the royal army's "king's army" can find out the trajectory of the enemy's movement separately and break through them one by one.
Don't say that this kind of behavior is using you as bait, because each of you is A-level magic, and although the "Coffin of Mist" has thousands of troops, the A-level combat power, except for a few capable generals of the leader, there is no information that anyone else has such magic, and most of the rest are B-level.
For you, you only need to concentrate on burning a certain amount of mana, even if you don't know magic, as long as you condense the mana on a weapon or fist, and convert it into a physical attack, you can instantly kill a large number of B-rank miscellaneous soldiers!
Moreover, the strongest people cultivated by Wang Cheng, although the necessary conditions are not one to ten thousand, but each must have the strength to take charge of themselves, and there is nothing impossible for one person to fight hundreds of people. The enemy who should really be feared, even if it is not a person with magic power far beyond you, must be an opponent who is on a par with you in terms of overall strength, so that you can have the qualifications worthy of your fear.
Therefore, for the framework that underpins this system of power in the wizarding world, there is a "law that must not be broken":
The battles between the magicians (martial artists) are all battles of magic.
Seven years ago, in the Plains of Orpots, the imperial capital "thelightofdawn" was attacked by the "dragon-like" creatures of the primeval era summoned by the Gartingyan Empire, and suffered heavy damage. But he was sacrificed by the supreme ruler of the empire, the Pope, and successfully sealed it.
On the way from the royal city of Comtbreth to the imperial capital of thelightofdawn, there is a strait between which there is a small island that serves as a hub between the two places, called "Midsummer Night".
Seven years ago, the island played a great role in the survival of the war effort as a transit point for the collection, storage, and distribution of war materials.
Therefore, in the peacetime after the war, the island quickly became prosperous as a logistics distribution center for economic development, coupled with the beautiful scenery of the island and the suitable temperate maritime climate, in addition to merchants from all over the continent, there is also an endless stream of tourists every year.
The "Midsummer Night" is geographically advantageous, and if you fly into the blue sky like a seabird and look down, you will notice that its shape and color resemble a green coconut fruit. And the coconut fruit is like a floating city on the sea, connecting the two shores.
And several strong men in the royal city will finally gather in the "Midsummer Night", if they arrive safely, it means that the mission is successfully over, and the safety of their lives will be effectively guaranteed. Because the island is close to the imperial capital, and it is also in the center of commerce, tourism, and finance, the island's garrison force is far greater than that of the royal city of "Comtbreh".
There are quite a few A-class magicians, and in a sense, their strength is only second only to the imperial capital "The Lightofdawn". Therefore, a force like "Coffin of the Mist" only has one or two S-level magicians, several A-level magicians, and many of the rest of his subordinates are all B-level magicians, this kind of lineup can be regarded as a second-rate force at most!
They can't do it on a "midsummer night"!
Before the "Midsummer Night", there were still more than a thousand or so enemies waiting, and although there was only one S-class mage known to the enemy, this was only a "known" piece of information.
Therefore, in the past year, the "Coffin of the Mist" does not know if its strength has suddenly expanded, or if it is an unknown force that Wang Cheng does not know about, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds the previous intelligence.
Because in the past year, there have been eight caravans from all over the empire, under the protection of a large number of A-class magicians, they have been ambushed one after another, and the result is that the entire army has been unexpectedly wiped out. Not a single one came back alive. One of the caravanserais, which also has four A-rank magicians, is not included.
Of course, after the search of the "King's Army" later, although the four A-level magicians of the "own side" and the rest of the caravan had all been killed, that time seemed to be the most tragic one, and the enemy also lost more than 200 people.
But these people, since they don't know any of them, it is difficult to judge the enemy's magic level from the appearance of the corpse.
And the magic level of the dyed moon is A-level intermediate, and the magic level of people, including Chenxing, is A-level high-level, even from the information learned so far, "oneself" does not even have an S-level magician, and on the surface, it is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
However, the Church King will send a large army to support at a critical moment!
And the armed forces of the royal city, if they are all gathered together and hard to fight, I am afraid that it will also consume a lot, so the scheming Sect King, after receiving the news of the total annihilation of the caravan escorted by four A-class magicians for the first time, realized that there was a serious mistake in the previous judgment of the enemy's strength, and immediately blocked the news.
Then, I thought of holding this "temple competition" to select the strongest people, and on the one hand, I selected them and sent them to the "emperor's swings" to practice.
On the one hand, Ling applied his excellent combat effectiveness to this "encirclement and suppression," which can be regarded as a cruel way to test their ability to truly deal with war in a cruel way that threatens their lives.
So, it didn't completely tell all of them the true strength of the enemy's possible appearance!
However, it doesn't matter at all, because those who are afraid of death, those who lack courage, in the glorious tradition of this royal city for hundreds of years, cannot be selected as the brave who can enter the "Emperor's Swings" practice!
The two of them, who had left the royal city, rode along the road on a white horse. Now it has long been out of the center and into the border forest.
Dye Yue: "Now that we are far away from the royal city, we still haven't found any bad people following us along the way, has the enemy been thrown away by us?" Or from the beginning, the enemy didn't know that there were several other teams of personnel who also carried the so-called...
A magic crystal that can make people "immortal"? β
Chenxing: "Do you mean that all the members of the Mist Coffin are just following one of these teams, and we are missed, and the enemy doesn't notice us at all?" β
Dying Moon: "Yes! It's very likely. β
Chenxing: "Impossible, didn't the Sect King summon us as early as the morning?" He said to us, "I am afraid that there are enemy spies hidden among us, and we should be careful."
So, since we both know that there are multiple teams, the spy should be sure to be accused. So the enemy should know that there are multiple different teams by now, right? They should send troops to intercept and kill each other, right? β
Sometsuki: "yes, yes. β
Chenxing: "Oh, wait, when the King summoned us, I didn't see any other teams. Where have they all gone? Did he go before us? How many people are there in a team? I don't know any of them! Do you know a little bit about it? β
Dying Moon: "The Pope is a man who fought in the war seven years ago, and he is good at giving advice, and he was praised by the Pope of the year. Therefore, he did not send all the teams out of the city at the same time and place, they were all out of the city at different times and from different places.
So I don't know if when we were called, whether it was in front of us, or next behind us, how many members of the team had already left, and it was not unusual for some of them to have left the city yesterday or even the day before yesterday.
I only know that there is one team, just the two of us, but I don't know how many people there are in the other teams. I guess we're the only exception. The others must be one person per team.
All I know is that among the other pairs, there seems to be Ruel Jones, and as for the others...
I don't know the specific list.
Chenxing: "Oh, so that's the case... Then you said that someone set off yesterday, and maybe even the day before yesterday?" Then set off so long in advance, and threw out other teams for a long distance, so it is inevitable that the lone army will go deep, and it is very likely that the enemy will get information and concentrate his forces to encircle and annihilate?
So not only did they lose their lives, but they also did not play a role in the so-called dispersal of the enemy's forces? β
Dye Yue: "As for this, you don't have to worry, the Sect King summoned everyone separately to the palace, and after informing them of the time of departure, he ordered them to leave immediately, all of which was carried out in extreme secrecy. Except for himself who was summoned, no one knew the rest of the people, and when they set off.
Therefore, even if the spies with enemies are hidden in the team, they only know the time, direction, and location of their team.
So it is impossible to inform the enemy in advance, where the rest of the people are. But it was told that there were indeed a few remaining people, at different times and from different roads, and this was a hint to the enemy of the "foggy coffin", asking them to use their own brains, consume their energy and disperse their forces, and find the exact location of the rest of the people!
This is where the king's wisdom lies. β
The two of them had set out in the morning, and it was already dusk, for they were already tired, both on their mounts and on themselves. So at a relatively hidden trail, I stopped, ready to rest, and today's day's journey is almost over.
Near the trail, there is a pastoral field, which is full of tender (juicy) strawberries, but what is even more surprising is that all the strawberries here are wild!
After asking about the reason for dyeing the moon, Chenxing learned that this area, known as the "heart of cocktails", is the largest paradise of wild vegetables, fruits, roses, cherry blossoms, sunflowers, lavender, and other attractive plants in the empire.
It is said that many years ago, the former Pope used magic [Pure Land of Bliss] to artificially create a botanical garden area. There is no need for manual cultivation and cultivation. The region's pleasant climate, abundant water, and fertile soil alone allow many plants and animals to grow smoothly in line with their ecosystems.
As the name suggests, this area is a blissful place where you can pick delicious fruits, vegetables, and flowers at will.
Chenxing: "It's really beautiful, it's the first time I've come to this kind of pure natural ecological paradise!" β
Dye Yue: "It's only the first time?" After that, I'll accompany you more often! β
Sometsuki opened her arms, as if stretching her waist, or more like embracing nature, strolling in the countryside, excitedly looking around at the beautiful scenery around her, taking in all the beautiful things such as forests, orchards, fields, streams, sunsets, etc. In Chenxing's view, it is completely like a fairyland, for Dye Yue, it is not so much intoxicated, but more like returning to his own home, without too much awe, and longing, it seems so easy-going, natural, the mood and the fairyland get along so tacitlyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
