Chapter 41 Support
In the tower of the Rust Defense, all the officers of the Legion gathered, and after reading the letterhead brought back by Sureni and Lawrence, the garrison commander Lord Barron fell into deep thought, and Jacob, the only battle mage of the Rust Legion, kept pacing back and forth, "If the portal is really driven by a magic array to open the spatial rift, then we must find out, where did these orc warlocks come from?" After all, they have to get here first before they can open the magic array! ”
"Your Excellency! We can't find out if we are pressed for time, so we can only continue to attack, find more teleportation points, destroy them and find out the truth," Lawrence said, "And, while we were fighting, we also found that these orc warlocks seemed to speak our human language, the lingua franca of the continent, and if we could capture a few captives, we should know the answer!" ”
Lord Barron looked at Lawrence and burned the letterhead on the candle, "Now that there are more and more orc troops, we must find a way to work, otherwise we will only become more and more passive!" Master, what do you see? ”
Jacob stopped, walked to the commander's side, and whispered, "If I can see it with my own eyes, maybe I can think of a way to trace the source of these magics, your suspicions may be right, it is really possible for demons to hide among us, and there must be someone on the continent to answer them, otherwise the orc troops and those monsters will not use the magic array by themselves."

"My lord! I'm willing to lead a detachment of rangers to the Prancing Horse Meadows, exploring orc waypoints along the way, and moving west to assist Sericon's cavalry," Sureni looked at the officers of the other legions around her, "The rest of us can search near our fortress!" ”
"Lord Barron, since Your Majesty has sent us to support, and now that the crisis is coming, I will take my people and Master Sureni with me, which can be regarded as giving Gavin enough face," Ser Jerome stood up, "My cavalry is not bad! ”
The Rusts were silent, and Jerome had been here for a long time, first in the boots' camps, and then in the camps of the various combat units, from the soldiers' tents to the kitchen stables. Lord Barron was also helpless, Jerome's reason was very simple, carefully understand the number, quality, and material allocation of the combat troops of the Rust Legion, so that Theodore could support Rust to the greatest extent in the limited resources.
"That's what we'll do, Lord Sir, thank you!" Lord Barron said, "Lawrence has brought some of the Guards with him to keep Sir Jerome safe!" You and Surenee stay for a while, and everyone else will prepare, and we'll discuss it later!" ”
"Thank you, Commander, for your careful preparation!" Jerome nodded at Lawrence, "Lord Lawrence, His Majesty Theodore greets you!" Lawrence was expressionless, as if he couldn't see him.
"Lord Jerome!" Jacob stepped forward and grabbed Jazz's arm tightly, and said with a smile, "Come to me, I'll prepare some magic scrolls for you and your cavalry, I must be using!" Jerome laughed and thanked him repeatedly, these magic scrolls, when fighting, can provide magic protection or blessings for soldiers, enhance attack power and physical functions, and are usually very scarce things, and the price is even more expensive.
After a while, the tower's battle hall was all over, and the commander waved at Surenee and Lawrence, asking them to stand by the window with him, "Come, get some fresh air, you've just come back, it's been a hard journey!" Rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will take the people and set out! ”
"Father, I heard that Jerome has been searching the fortress, and this time he is going to take people with him, it seems that he is bent on catching him, but for now, we can only think about the orcs, after all, the rumored spring is coming," Sureni looked out the window, the snow had not yet melted, the field of vision was blank, the cold was still there, there was a dead silence on the ground, and the day and night rush and the increasing number of orc troops really made them tired.
"Don't care about it so much," Barron laughed helplessly, the entire empty hall seemed extremely lonely, "He has his own way to go, what we have to do now is to prepare, since the cavalry of Serican is willing to form an alliance, you will take them as close to our fortress as possible this time, after all, no one knows what the real attack of the demons will be, we have to rely on each other." Surenee, you bring eight hundred rangers, pick the best, Lawrence, you bring twenty people, and Jerome's men, I believe that you can help Gavin for the time being, and bring some supplies, remember, it is best to be able to move them east. ”
"Don't worry, Commander! Also, if we can find out the secrets of the portals, I'm sure we'll be able to clean them up! Lawrence exclaimed, "I'll keep an eye on this guy Jerome, and I'm sure we should be able to handle it!" ”
"You have to be careful of one person!" The commander said with a solemn face, "When Jerome brought people here, there was a mysterious fellow beside him, wearing a black robe and a hood covering his face tightly, and my people reported that he had disappeared in the last few days, and he was not found in Jerome's camp, and I suspect that he has set off for the Prancing Horse Meadow!" ”
"Could it be the evil mage that Bibo mentioned?" Surenee was shocked, she had heard from Bibo that when the town of Kavos was falling, there was a guy like this who could easily control a powerful battle mage with a magic array.
"Jacob is also very curious about him, he said that this guy seems to contain a mysterious power in his body, like magic power, but it's not the same," Barron waved his hand, "These magicians on the continent are really mysterious, not only are they small in number, but they are also extremely difficult to train, and a battle mage like Jacob can't evaluate it, it seems that this guy's strength is really very strong!" ”
"Be careful! Since I'm here with Jerome, it seems that I'm also connected to Theodore, and I hope my family lineage can still be of some use," Lawrence touched his saber, the griffon's body had been touched to be extremely smooth, and its wings were no longer angular at the beginning, "but I'd really rather be an ordinary Rust soldier!" ”
"Young man!" Barron patted Lawrence on the shoulder and straightened his cloak, "You have your way to go, don't carry a heavy burden on your road." Go ahead, kids, and stay safe! May the God of Light watch over you! ”
"Let's go, Lawrence, go release the letter crow," Surenee hurriedly pulled Lawrence away, and the two of them walked towards the Ranger camp together, "What a wonderful couple! Jacob sent Jerome away, came back and saw the backs of Surenee and Lawrence, and said in admiration, "Lord Barron, do you want me to help you spy on Silvermoon City?" ”
"Shut up, Jacob! You know I've never been willing to deal with those people! The commander also looked at the two of them in a daze, "Although they are very good soldiers, they are still children, I really hope that everything will go well, evil will be eliminated, and all people in the continent can live in peace!" ”
"Haha, my lord, why do you talk about such childish words," the mage hid his hand in the sleeve of his robe, "there are beautiful faces and ugly ones, there are good hearts and evil ones, there are gods of light and demons, nothing can disappear forever, so the fortress of the Rust Defense Station will continue to stand for thousands of years, and there will be more young people who will lose their lives to protect the beautiful dreams in their hearts." ”
Barron nodded, "I wish I could get ahead of them!" What else do you want to tell me? ”
"Not yet," replied Jacob, "but I searched the fellow's tent and it was cleaned up, but I found a clue, a bad smell!" ”
"Or does he have smelly feet?" Barron smiled, "Tell me it's useful!" ”
"Maybe his feet really stink," the mage gave him a blank look, "but he can't hide the smell, it's the smell of dead bodies!" I suspect he may not be human, or rather dead. ”
"......" was silent for a while, and then Lord Barron spoke, "Gather everyone after dinner, let's discuss the search area and method, and find the orc's teleportation point as soon as possible!" Leave the rest to these young people! ”
When Surenee finished writing the letter, Lawrence immediately wrapped the letter around the crow's legs, and they walked to the wall of the guard post and released the crow westward, "I hope I can be one step faster than that guy," Lawrence rubbed his hands, "but I believe that this kid will be able to save the day!" ”
Su Reni smiled, ran her hair with both hands, "He does make people worry a lot less than you, let's go, soldier, have a good rest, we will continue to attack tomorrow!" ”
Lawrence also smiled, he looked at Surene's back, looked at the horizon in the west that was gradually hidden in the mist, and suddenly remembered the scene when he had just arrived in Rust, the past few years of battle and grinding made him more and more like a Rust man, from having a delicate napkin for every meal to wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth with his hands, from trimming his beard every morning to not taking a few baths a month, he seemed to have forgotten his ambition to come here in the first place, and only the shadow of this Rust huntress in his eyes, She was the only woman in the entire legion who had a few women in the non-combat units, and she was the only one at the front line.
It would be great if we could marry her, Lawrence thought this more than once, but he was annoyed every day, even the last day and night, they talked about orcs or other disgusting monsters the most, and Sureni always scoffed at the interesting topics that Lawrence brought up every time, "Soldier! Don't do this with me like you did with the girls in the city! Thinking of this, Lawrence laughed to himself and walked towards his camp.
In the makeshift camp, Jerome paced back and forth in the tent until his subordinate archers returned from outside the city walls, and he began to stretch his brow, "Look, look! That's probably the best news I've ever gotten these days! The archer handed him the letter, "It seems that the Prophet guessed correctly!" He should be able to track down this kid soon, and he doesn't even need to make a move from you, Lord Sir, hehehe! ”
Jerome opened the letterhead and was excited, "Bibo, Bibo!" Sure enough, it's the kid in this pit, this time, see where else you can hide! ”
