99 Stirring
On this trip to hunt beasts, the Central Army and the Warcraft Legion directly under Raymond came with a total of 1,000 people, and the Quartet Army also had 500 people each, with a total of 3,000 people.
This operation is of great significance to everyone, so the Quartet Army also attaches great importance to it, and the soldiers sent are the elite of the elite, not to mention, even the person in charge has been carefully selected.
Among them, not to mention the Northern Army, the leading Balthazar has broken through to the eighth order in the past few years; The Eastern Army led the team by their deputy commander Fern, who was also a seventh-order martial artist; Maybe it was because they knew that the Eastern and Northern armies sent them were the first and second rulers in the legion, so the Southern Army also sent the deputy commander Kionil, who was also a seventh-order powerhouse, and the only magic professional among the several leaders; The leader of the Western Army is a thirty-year-old young man, although the rank is only the fourth rank, he is the eldest son of the commander of the Southern Army, and it is not surprising that the future Western Army will be taken over by this young man named Edward.
Looking at Diego and Izumi again, although neither of them is a strong person, Diego is only a third-order, and Izumi is even a second-order alchemist with no combat power, but he can't stand up to a strong vote in their team.
First of all, the level of Quan's Shanai Duo Wheel should be the highest among all, close to the full level, although the combat experience is a little worse, but recently this aspect has also been greatly improved because of a certain non-human, and the strength of the wind speed dog and the monarch snake is also close to the ninth level, although the speed of the flash is slower, but it is not much worse, and the other elves have also improved over the years.
This bunch of elves alone made Izumi's overall strength stronger than everyone present. What's more, he also has Electrolux by his side.
And this operation, Brand had to follow, Diego agreed after considering his strength, plus they also brought a thousand elites, it can be said that their thousand people are stronger than the two thousand people of the Quartet Army.
It stands to reason that Diego is the prince, and he is the strongest on his side, and the entire team should be commanded by him. But Diego knows very well that although he has the position of regiment leader, he has never really been on the battlefield and has never led the team on a mission, so at this time, there is an experienced veteran in command of the whole team, and this person is still Balthazar, Diego is not dissatisfied.
It was too expensive for such a large group of people to go through the teleportation array, and they were not in a hurry, so in the end, they still chose to go to the mainland.
Since this operation was not a secret mission, there was no need to hide the traces of the 3,000-strong army, so on the road from Ta'an to the Magic Forest, a more peculiar force appeared.
In the past, when the troops traveled, they were all equipped with the same armor and the same mounts, but this team was different, the armor and weapons were different, and even the mounts were different.
In the past, when the troops traveled, everyone rode beasts, and now there are large monsters that basically use monsters as mounts, and only people who do not have large monsters to ride will choose to ride beasts, so the means of transportation taken by people who are in a hurry on this road have also become varied.
At this time, the Pork Ball was not yet popular, and there were a lot of elves that everyone brought with them, and many of them were cute and beautiful elves who were completely out of line with the army, and they followed their respective masters, which made the team more and more nondescript.
Of all the mounts, Diego's Menas was probably the most conspicuous, this was obviously a little elf that lived in the water, but it could fly in the air, and it was not a problem to have two or three people on its huge body at the same time.
So many times, everyone's eyes are appreciating the beauty of this little elf, and it also makes Diego on his back particularly conspicuous.
In the middle of the procession, which was almost entirely ridden, there was a wagon that followed the troops, and in it sat three men, Izumi, Electrolux, and Brand.
Izumi would sit here because Balthazar and Diego agreed that Izumi, who was a second-order alchemist, was weak and unsuitable for riding all the time, so he specially prepared this carriage for him, and Electrolux, who never left him, naturally followed suit.
And Brand will be in the carriage, in addition to the fact that he has no mount (the dragon eagle was given away by him and stayed in Tal'an), it is also because Brand thinks that riding in the carriage is very fresh, so he gets into the carriage with a dead face.
And among the people on this trip, Izumi saw the names of Carter and the Benny brothers and Nance, the first three were from the Warcraft Legion, and Nance was selected from the Central Army.
Their strength has also improved over the years, and the former adventure team is now a qualified soldier, and Carter is still the team leader, but the team members have changed from three mercenaries to a dozen soldiers.
However, the strength of the three Carter and Benny brothers is somewhat worse than the others, but the griffon that can't stand them is the first Warcraft to upgrade the rank, and the strength is not weak, plus they are all mercenaries who are more familiar with the terrain of the Magic Forest, and they are friends of Izumi, and after thinking about it, Diego finally added them to the list.
And Nance, who did not raise Warcraft, was also selected for this operation because he was also familiar with the Magic Forest, and because of his good performance in the Central Army over the years.
Over the years, Raymond and Diego have been hiding the situation of the spring from the outside world, and the outside world does not know the actual situation of the spring, at most they know that the little prince who was once exiled has brought back the grass elf from a distant excess.
Therefore, the Quartet Army, who didn't know the details, was more or less dissatisfied with their mission to bring a little prince with no combat effectiveness.
Now that he actually led someone to make a carriage, although it didn't slow down the speed of the team, it was really unpleasant to look at. Because of their status, they couldn't really show unfriendliness to Izumi, but there was something strange in their words.
Izumi didn't care much about such a situation.
He spent most of his time in the carriage when he was on the road, and only occasionally came out to ride Menas with Diego or to Balthazar to rub his griffons on them. The latter were rare, though, for every time he was with him, Balthazar would babble on and down on him to dig Carter's men into the Northern Army, and whoever made the mounts of all three men be griffons, or the mother, brother, and sister of Balthazar's Griffin.
Although the griffons he raised over the years have given birth to many offspring, the level of the people who can't stand it is not as high as Carter's griffons. This makes Balthazar, who likes griffons the most and has always thought about having a griffon, why is it not hot?
It's a pity that it's useless to be hot, people are from the Warcraft Legion, how can Diego agree to hand them over.
So Balthazar could only find Izumi to try to save the country, but unfortunately the effect was not good.
Izumi didn't care about the attitude of the Quartet, but Diego did, because among these people there were still people who had the audacity to run to provoke their relationship, openly and secretly hinting that his younger brother was more favored than him, and that it might affect his inheritance in the future, and pretended to remind him to take precautions early.
Diego laughed angrily, as a good older brother who loved his younger brother, Diego never doubted that his heir status would be shaken, not only because he had faith in Izumi, but also because he had faith in himself.
At a meeting of the five leaders, Diego unabashedly put forward a list of those who had provoked him.
"It's not your turn to ask about the royal affairs, and if anyone has any more opinions about my brother Ismail, then I don't mind going separately."
Leaving behind a group of people whose faces changed back and forth, Diego left without looking back.
He is the eldest prince, and he already has proud capital, so why should he give these people who obviously took advantage of the spring and received his favor to say that the spring is not good?
Even if these people don't know what's going on, that's not allowed.
Balthazar taught his men a lesson, if it weren't for Diego's name, he wouldn't have known that there were also people who wanted to provoke the royal brothers in the people he brought, and it seemed that it would be time to put things in order after he returned.
And the people of the other legions, although they did not say it, but after that, no one came to provoke intentionally or unintentionally.
At first, Izumi didn't know that his brother had come forward to defend him, but when Balthazar came to apologize for his men's faux pas, Izumi knew.
"Uncle Barr doesn't need to apologize, it's not your problem in the first place." Izumi said to Balthazar with a smile.
Seeing that he was really not angry, Balthazar also let go of the stone in his heart. Balthazar, who knows more than others, understands that the changes in Butlans over the years are inseparable from Izumi, and this trip to the Magic Forest, Izumi will not be a drag, on the contrary, he is the one who will play a key role.
Therefore, whether it was out of liking for this little nephew or from an objective point of view, Balthazar did not want Izumi to be dissatisfied with him.
And Balthazar couldn't help but laugh at the thought of how the other people would look when they found out that the fountain they had all thought was useless was actually more useful than all of them combined.
In a certain mood to see the show, Balthazar left Springs' carriage.
"Really not angry?" Electrolux, who knew the spring better than Balthazar, asked him.
Izumi's temper is very good, yes, but that is when his family, friends, and elves are not involved, and as long as Izumi is involved, he is also very protective.
Izumi smiled and said to Electrolux, "I think the distribution of the baby balls needs to be changed." ”
This time they brought nearly two thousand Pok Balls, of all types, all on Izumi's body - not in the backpack, it was the storage ring that Raymont had brought him from the treasure trove, the space in it was not as large as his backpack and Electrolux's family heirloom ring, but it was enough to hold the Po Ball.
Early in the morning, Raymond said that how these baby balls should be distributed is Suiquan's will - anyway, he has not revealed the effect and number of these balls to the other legions, thanks to the strict hiding of the Warcraft Legion, there were few baby balls before, and the people outside only vaguely knew the existence of the red and white balls and had never seen the real thing.
Originally, Izumi felt that since his father had already agreed to let these people go along, it would be better to give some effects appropriately in the distribution of the Pork Balls, and the number was also prepared to be two hundred per legion.
But now he feels that there is no need to give them the Friendship Ball, Love Ball, and Weight Ball, which are so big as the speed of the ball that increases the intimacy and capture rate, and the number of the original plan is automatically halved.
And he won't remind these people of the special effects of the remaining Poké Balls, so let these people use them as ordinary red and white balls.
…… Well, except for Uncle Barr, he still likes this uncle very much, and he can give a little more, anyway, it was deducted from the other three legions.
If those people knew that because of their careful thinking, they had greatly reduced the harvest this time, but cheapened Balthazar, they would definitely beat their chests and regret not being at the beginning.
It's a pity that they didn't know, so they also missed the opportunity to ask for forgiveness at the first time, and could only unknowingly pass by a group of baby balls.
