Chapter 077: Blood Rose - Conflict Escalates
It is a tomb without an epitaph, and there is not even a complete body inside the coffin.
A scruffy woman with short hair stood by the grave for a long time, without any memorial service, and only a piece of bloodstained parchment in her hand.
Mi Lu's expression suddenly became hideous, and her eyes were full of cold killing intent.
Milu struggled to light the summoning order in her hand, and after the burning summoning order was blown to ashes by the cold wind, Milu turned to leave.
From now on, there is no princess Milou in the world, only Milou, the fire control mage, and Milou the Avenger.
In the future, he will lead the army of mages to destroy the brutal Elephant Kingdom army and destroy the decaying Giant Elephant Kingdom.
After destroying some, the army of mages will create a new kingdom, and the reborn Miruonra will be the queen of this new kingdom!
Milou returned to the mage corps station, where there were a total of 163 mages divided into multiple squads, and Milu was assigned to the 14th squad.
As before, Milou got acquainted with her teammates, became familiar with the things of the mage group, and slowly integrated into the new environment.
On this day, the mage regiment received orders from the governor to send a team of recruits to the border area for routine patrols, and try to collect as many civilians as possible from the surrounding area who were killed by the Elephant Nation army.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let these newly established squads experience so that they can play a greater role in future wars, after all, the difference in strength between experienced mages and pampered mages can be 108,000 miles!
Ah Kang is the leader of this team, and he is an intermediate wind mage who has studied at the Royal Capital School of Magic.
After Ah Kang left the academy, because he was a little nobleman and couldn't find a job in Wangdu, he followed his family to Budavis to try his luck, but he didn't expect to accidentally join the mage guard group here, in fact, for Ah Kang, who has a solid family, doing business is more attractive to him, but his father had to let himself join the army and said that it would help him to experience it, and on the day he joined the army, his father's friend Uncle Wang uncharacteristically gave him a lot of daily necessities and gave himself a lot of money, which made him puzzled, why did Uncle Wang treat him so well?
Ah Kang led a group of 16 people on horseback to wander around the border without purpose, as for the task of collecting civilians, he was in charge of whomever he wanted, anyway, he came to gild the army.
As the troops marched into a wood, Milou spotted a weapon reflecting in the distant woods, and shouted, "There is an ambush!
Ah Kang hurriedly ordered everyone to dismount, and then formed a defensive formation.
After a long time, the team didn't seem to be attacked, and everyone looked at Akon with strange eyes.
Ah Kang was very embarrassed, and said angrily: "Who was shouting there just now, was there an ambush?"
Mi Lu thought to herself, people are just waiting for you to launch a surprise attack when you are confused, you rookies are still stupid to look at paintings here!
Akon believes that it is likely that someone is dissatisfied with his position as captain and wants to seize power!
I can't be calculated, Ah Kang smiled gloomily: "It seems that there are people who are interested in command! But if you are not capable of commanding, I hope you are still honest as a soldier, after all, officers can only be held by nobles." ”
At this time, everyone looked at Akon with even more strange eyes, and the system of officer appointment in Budavis, like Amesvalon, looked at ability rather than origin.
Ah Kang joined the army not long ago, he may still be a little unfamiliar with this system, looking at everyone's strange eyes, Ah Kang was a little flustered, and hurriedly added: "It doesn't matter if you are not a nobleman, but unless you have such excellent skills! ”
The sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air came and went, and war horses gradually rushed out of the woods, and Ah Kang stopped beeping at this time, and looked back at the woods. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
Feather Arrow killed 2 magicians who didn't have time to launch their defenses, and Akon found that he couldn't cope with the situation at all, and tried to escape on his horse, but found that the horse had been shot dead by the opponent's archers.
Ah Kang hurriedly pushed his teammates in front of him, and then ordered: "Everyone block the attack from the opposite side!"
The other mages in the team were no better than Akon, and in the panic, some lay down, some fled, and some threw magic.
The only normal person was Mi Lu, pushing away the fat man who was trembling beside him, Mi Lu fired a fire bullet at the oncoming knight, the flame bullet hit the knight in the chest, and the knight fell off his horse with a crooked body.
Miru snatched the warhorse, jumped on the horse, and shouted to the mage behind him, "Everyone follow me, form a fan-shaped attack range, and release magic on the opposite knight." That fat man over there, do you hear me? I'll let you unleash your magic!
The fat Mauser reacted immediately and began to follow Milu to release the Wind Blade.
Several other daring mages followed behind and fired their spells at the knight on the opposite side.
The cavalry of the Giant Elephant Kingdom was gradually overwhelmed by the attacks of several magicians!
Most of the 60 knights who attacked were killed, and the rest of the knights began to rout.
At this time, Ah Kang saw that the other horseman began to flee, and pretended to ride a war horse and began to pursue the other party.
Akon shouted, "Obey my orders, all of you, and pursue the enemy!"
Mi Lu just wanted to stop everyone and let everyone retreat while defending, when many people had already rushed out with Akon.
The 6 mages rushed after Akon, only 3 of them listened to Milu's words and stayed by Milu's side, and the other 2 were frightened and fled in a hurry.
Akon peeked at Milou and was furious when he saw that Milu was openly questioning his orders.
When you go back after your victory, you must cure that self-righteous tomboy!
When the 7 people rushed to the front of the woods, several flame bombs shot out of the woods, and the 3 mages were caught off guard and were blown to pieces by the fire bombs.
Akon unleashed his magic shield, then unleashed his wind blade into the woods.
The knights who had been defeated before the Giant Elephant Kingdom rushed back again, and several magicians suddenly didn't know where to fight their magic?
Flamebursts continued to shoot out from the woods, and several other people were killed except for Ah Kang.
Seeing the tragic death of his teammates, Akon's will to fight collapsed, and he began to ride his horse to escape, just turning the horse's head, a flame bomb behind him shattered the horse's leg, Akon was thrown out, and there were knights around him who rushed over and slashed him.
Although the magic shield can block the damage of the weapon, it cannot block the violent impact of the warhorse.
A war horse knocked Akang into the air, and Akang was shaken away by the violent impact, kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood, and several knights slashed Akang with their slashers.
Mi Lu had already arranged for everyone to retreat at this time, and saw the knights of the Giant Elephant Kingdom killing Ah Kang and the others from a distance, and Mi Lu watched the opposing troops rushed over led by 4 fire control mages.
Mi Lu shouted: "Everyone pay attention, form a defensive formation, don't panic, cover each other and retreat!
A giant elephant fire control mage chased after him and unleashed a flame blast, killing one of the mages beside Milu.
Mi Lu did not panic, and released three flame bombs in a row, and the mage of the Giant Elephant Kingdom had no time to defend and was killed by Mi Lu.
Several knights of the Elephant Kingdom rushed over and were killed by Miru's release of fireballs, while others followed suit and began to unleash magic to counterattack the pursuers in the rear.
The three Giant Elephant Fire Control Mages found that the other party couldn't eat a bite, and they didn't chase after them, so they rode away one after another.
Milou led the rest of the men back to Budavis.
This time the team attacked, in fact, it would not have been such a fiasco, just because Akon did not command the troops to retreat in an orderly manner at the first time, and launched a wrong attack order, resulting in only Mi Lu and a few people fleeing back, which was also an invisible blow to the morale of the Budavis army.
On the other hand, Milu's crisp command and agility on the battlefield are very outstanding, which is destined to make Milu a rising star who has attracted much attention.
After Miru fled back, he wrote a detailed battle report, analyzing the opponent's strategic intentions and the current incompetence of the mage group.
Mi Lu handed over the report to the general of the mage guard regiment, and after the report was handed in, there were two results: one was that the boss didn't care at all, and would even throw the black pot to himself, and the other was to listen to his own suggestions and be able to reorganize the mage troops.
The next day, Milou received news that the governor of Budavis, Gulus, was going to summon him.
Milou thought to herself, could it be that her report was seen by the Governor? What would the Governor talk to me about?
Gurus was reading Miru's battle report, looking at Juanxiu's handwriting, clear logic, and accurate judgment of the battlefield situation, Gurus decided that although the person who wrote the letter to him was not very experienced in combat, as long as she continued to grow and temper, then she would become an excellent general.
It is not surprising that the Giant Elephant Kingdom has frequently launched conflicts on the border during this time, but the Giant Elephant Army indiscriminately kills soldiers and civilians and even caravans, which is a bit excessive, and he has sent several letters to George, but Ameswallon's reply is that George is not there, and he can be flexible in urgent matters.
Since this is the case, Gurus decided that he must beat the other party once, otherwise the people of the Elephant Kingdom will think that he is easy to bully.
In order to successfully arouse the interest of the other party, you need to spill a batch of delicious bait.
Mi Lu came to the office hall of the Governor's Palace, and saw a sturdy old man in plain clothes sitting on a chair to handle official business, although the old man's face was wrinkled but his eyes were sharp, and his back was slightly bent, but he couldn't hide the bulging muscles all over his body.
Milou realizes that the old man was once a battle-hardened general, but why would such a figure be the governor of a city the size of Budavis?
In his own country, such a person is either a general of the forbidden army or a general of the border army, and it is a bit condescending to be a governor.
Milu didn't know that the power of Gurus was not just the governor, and all the cities and troops around Budavis were controlled by Gurus.
While taking care of his official business, Gurus said, "Sit down, I heard that you wrote a battle report suggesting that the mage group be reorganized?"
Mi Lu saw that the old man went straight to the point, and the money arrived: "Your Excellency the Governor, at present, the personnel of our mage group are uneven, and the personnel are huge, and different kinds of magicians are mixed together, so that the combat power of the mage group is greatly reduced, I hope that the boss can reorganize the troops and improve the combat power." ”
Gurus smiled: "There are few magicians who are willing to join the mage group, most of them are working for money, and it is difficult to change the status quo in a short period of time!"
Mi Lu thought for a while and said: "Actually, many fire control mages in the Giant Elephant Kingdom are also in order to be able to obtain titles for their exploits in the war, if the Governor can make an exception to grant these people titles, I think there will be many people who are willing to join the army of Budavis!"
Gurus thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a good idea to recruit mages from the Colossus Kingdom, but I can't decide whether I can give him a knighthood for the time being. Besides, I can't confirm your abilities right now, and I don't know if your abilities will be able to handle such an army of mages. I will give you a test, and if you pass the test, I will apply to Duke George and give you the right to do so!"
Mi Lu thought to herself, shouldn't the king decide? Why do I need to inform Duke George first? Which green onion is Duke George? I haven't heard of it before...
And this old man's eyes are very strange, eighty percent of them asked me to take people to death... Sure enough, none of the old men are good...
Although Milu was slandered in her heart, she still agreed to Gurus and asked Gurus to send her a task.
Gurus said: "This time your task is to lead all the members of the mage group to assassinate the general of the opposing garrison, so as to achieve the effect once and for all, as the support of the action, I will send the army to make a feint posture to force the other party to also send the army, after the opponent's army is dispatched, the mage group will carry out the assassination mission"
Milou asked, "Your Excellency, why did you choose me?"
Gurus smiled: " From your battle report, I see the desire for power, and also see your hidden ability, I believe that if this task is assigned to someone else, then only those wastes who graduated from the magic academy will not be able to complete the task of luring enemies, only you are an exception, you are not the same as those wastes is a pragmatic girl, only pragmatic people can give heavy responsibilities, and you yourself have clear thinking, strong determination, and a good candidate to serve as a leader, if you pass this test, you will become my right and left hand when you come back, and help me govern Budavis!”
Mi Lu found it hard to believe that this warrior had so much thought, and actually saw through his heart, yes, he was eager for power, because he had something to do! Avenging his mother! Avenge Siwa! So eager ...
Gurus gave Milou the temporary right to command all the members of the mage guard, let the mage guard set off in advance, and secretly ambushed the giant elephant country, and he would gather a large army to present troops at the border within 3 days, forcing the other party to mobilize the army, and then the mage guard group assassinated the enemy general.
On the surface, no one can see anything, but in fact, Gurus has another set of arrangements.
The real elite troops of Budavis have been ambushed in the hidden upper valley of the Giant Elephant Country by themselves, and the army they sent will also be defeated after engaging the opponent, and then use the mage group to lure out the real elite of the other party.
When the enemy dispatches elite troops, he will send elite ambushes and then prevent all troops from counterattacking.
Therefore, whether the mage escort group can successfully attract the opponent's main force is a key link, but these secrets will not be told to Mi Lu.
A few days later, Budavis dispatched 20,000 infantry to the border between the two countries.
The new border guard of the Giant Elephant Nation, Suwan Manu, is a man of pride who always wants to build a career in his lifetime.
Since he became the general of the border guard, he has continuously sent troops to harass and attack the caravan civilians near Budavis, and Budavis finally sent 20,000 troops to take the initiative to attack.
Suwan thought that Budavis' army should only be about 50,000 people, and the 20,000 infantry should be able to eat it themselves, so he sent 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to attack.
He also has 500 elite escorts, 10,000 elite cavalry, 10,000 elite infantry, and 200 fire control mages in his hands.
Su Wan asked the rest of the men to stay in the camp and stand still, and he led 500 elite escorts and 200 fire control mages to command the battle.
Unbeknownst to Su Wan, the assassin hidden in the darkness was waiting for him, and he would also encounter a truly formidable enemy in his military career.
