The cultivation system of the wizards in this world is the improvement of the soul, and the exercises are all kinds of meditation techniques.

The ascension of the soul is the ascension of the essence, the fundamental path.

Zhou Chen has traveled through many worlds, and some places have different power systems, but they are definitely universal in the system of soul power.

The foundation of the wizarding system is soul power, and the other means are by spells.

There is also the aura of heaven and earth in this world, and Zhou Chen has long sensed it. The term here is the element of each attribute.

It's just that in Zhou Chen's opinion, although the aura of heaven and earth between heaven and earth is huge and endless, it is not pure, and there is another unknown special element mixed in it.

Wizards cast spells, and a large part of them relied on chanting spells. When the mouth produces different syllables and is assisted by soul power, a kind of harmony can be achieved to attract various elements between heaven and earth, causing them to gather, move, and explode with a certain trajectory.

This is how sorcery works.

And what supports the success of the spell is precisely the unknown special element.

Zhou Chen has no intention of learning wizard spells, so he is not going to study them in depth, he just needs to understand the general principle.

"Master, we have entered the territory of Corunia, and there is a town not far ahead that is very dead, shall we go in?"

Just as Zhou Chen continued to practice meditation, Youyi said softly beside him.

"Let's go check it out. ”

Zhou Chen replied.

......

The town of Curizaro, a barren town on the edge of the border, is inhabited by ethnic minorities.

Mainly the Volsters, the Bamlas, the Bouhamas, etc.

After the start of the national war, some joined the rebels, while the majority resigned themselves and continued to barely maintain their original life trajectory.

Until a few days ago, a detachment of the Garghastani, representing the Imperial Army, came here for the purpose of recruiting new recruits.

How can these minority civilians, who have not joined the rebels, be willing to become pawns of the Garghastis against their compatriots?

And so the conflict broke out.

However, although the number of civilians was superior, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and they were not equipped with weapons, nor did they have combat experience or suitable commanders, so they were easily defeated by the Imperial army, which was only about 200 men.

The commander of the army, a middle-aged knight with blond hair, ordered the capture of hundreds of defeated civilians and their imprisoning until they reported to their superiors before deciding what to do.

A few days later, a guerrilla detachment from the rebels, hearing the news, rushed to rescue the captured civilians.

The leader of the guerrillas was a young sword-wielding warrior named Ledim. He led a guerrilla force of less than fifty men and took advantage of the night to raid the 200-strong Imperial army.

The effect of the raid was not significant, after all, there was a three-fold gap in the number of troops, and the overall quality of the soldiers was also superior to the Imperial Army.

But being able to become a captain at a young age has its own peculiarities.

He is excellent at swordsmanship, and the long sword in his hand is a magic weapon. He also has an older sister who is a third-level wizard apprentice.

With these factors, the gap between the two sides of the battle is infinitely narrowed. And under the evenly matched struggle, the result is often the most brutal and bloody.

The battle lasted for a day and a night, and there were very few people left alive on both sides.

The remaining fighters on both sides were less than 10 men.

Then the situation is obvious, and the rebel army led by the magic weapon bearer Ledim will win the final victory.

But an accident happened, and a woman with a child in her arms escaped from the prisoner camp not far away, and broke into the battlefield where the final battle was still being held.

The commander of the Imperial Army, the middle-aged knight with blond hair, was seriously injured in the left shoulder by Ledim's magic weapon, and at this time, his eyes were quick and he ran towards the woman and waved his battle axe.

Phew!

With an axe, he slashed the woman to death and overturned her, and reached out to snatch the weeping child from her bosom, and put his big hand in the child's neck.

"Don't move, if you dare to come here, I'll kill this kid!"

The middle-aged knight shouted at Ledim.

"Shameless! What about your knightly dignity! Do you want to survive by holding a child hostage?!"

Ledim wanted to rush to save people as soon as possible, but it was too late.

At this time, he could only stop, gritted his teeth and looked at the middle-aged knight in front of him viciously.

As soon as the leaders of both sides stopped, the other warriors also stopped fighting, and soon gathered behind the two leaders.

"You have won this battle, retreat now, or not only the child will die, but everyone in the prisoner camp behind me will also die!"

The middle-aged knight's mouth was ruthless, but in fact, his heart was also dripping blood, his own soldiers were all dead, only the last few people around him, and he couldn't explain to the top at all.

Do you want to report that 200 full-fledged Imperial troops fought to a draw with 50 mud-legged rebels?

"No way! Since I, Radim, have come, I must free everyone!

Ledim was young and vigorous, but he was not an idiot, and there were only ten people left with him, so he could not leave without even achieving his goal.

"Really!"

The middle-aged knight's eyes were furious, and he grabbed the child's hand and made a gesture to break his neck, making the child's face pale and breathless.

He was also afraid of the magic weapon in Ledim's hand, and he was afraid that he would die in the hands of the other party, so he used this dirty method. The bet is that Ledim is young, and he may not be ruthless enough, so he can only retreat obediently in the end.

"You...... Despicable!"

Ledim gritted his teeth, even his lips were bleeding, his face was blue and red, and his heart was at war with heaven and man.

"Brother, this is war, sacrifice can't be avoided, you should have understood it by now. ”

Ledim's sister, the only wizard apprentice in the battle, approached Ledim and whispered, "The child's mother is dead, and even if he is saved, he will not live long." ”

The sister's meaning is very clear, that is, to ignore the safety of the hostages and continue to fight until the enemy is eliminated and the final victory is achieved.

"But ......"

Ledim was still faltering, glancing at the dead body of the woman on the ground, still unable to make such a cruel decision.

"What's the matter, young warrior, does your conscience tell you that you can't make the decision to sacrifice your children? ”

The middle-aged knight saw Ledim's struggle, and he continued to follow his path.

Burst!

However, just as he finished saying this, with a sudden sound, the middle-aged knight's head exploded.

It's a big hammer!

I don't know from which direction it flew at high speed, and instantly hit the middle-aged knight's head, shattering like a watermelon, and the brain and blood splashed everywhere.

The middle-aged knight turned into a headless corpse and fell straight down, and the child fell to the ground with him, falling hard, making the child cry even louder.
