In the second half of the night, Marshal Odin gathered his troops and ordered the withdrawal of the troops, withdrawing to the original El Niño and Maginot lines. The terrain in that area is mountainous and suitable for defense, and it is relatively close to the supply points in the rear, so it can use the depth to drag the enemy's battle line. Guderian and the other generals did not question the decision of the marshal, but were unwilling. After all, this is equivalent to giving up the southern border of the kingdom, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the kingdom's area. Fortunately, before the winter, the inhabitants of the southern border had already moved to the north with the remnants of the Inca Empire, refugees, etc., so even if this land was abandoned, there would be no great loss to the population of the kingdom.

After the eagle guard was left behind by the commander, Guderian's dragon guard cleared the way ahead to clear the snow on the march route and choose a place to camp. Augustine's previous application to the marshal to enter the dragon guard has not been approved, and this time the marshal finally gave Augustine a reply, but it was only limited to Augustine and Renault. The rest were rejected by the Grand Marshal, who gave Sophia and Elizabeth the reason that they were inexperienced enough to serve as qualified grassroots commanders. The crowd had nothing to say but enviously sent Augustin and Renaud to Guderian's camp.

Natasha is taken care of by the Mage Regiment due to her deep self-autism. The one in charge of taking care of it is the mage Anvila, who once boasted to Guderian about Augustine. This is a quiet and delicate little girl, looking about eighteen or nineteen years old. In fact, Anvila is a high-level mage of the Nine Rings who is close to the Ten Rings, so don't be fooled by her outside. The list of mages assigned to the Dragon's Guard has come down, and Anvila is among them. As the vanguard of the withdrawal of the army, the dragon guards were also among them.

At daybreak, Guderian and Achilles led the dragon guards to leave the army for about seventy or eighty miles. The sky was not snowing, but it was still gloomy. Guderian ordered the party to camp on a high ground, then left some errands to Achilles and hurried to the mage. Natasha's autistic slumber kept him restless all night.

"General. The members of the mage regiment saluted Guderian as he ran. Guderian did not wear a special general's armor because of his injuries, but only a large coat over his bodysuit. The wounds on his body, although they were simply bandaged, still spilled blood during the march in the middle of the night, and the bandages were red and bandaged and oozed through the tight clothes and pants. If Guderian hadn't been in control of his blood, he would have had to lie on a stretcher after last night's battle instead of jumping around like he is now.

Guderian stopped at the edge of an uncarried, but suspended stretcher, on which was Natasha, who was draped in a military quilt, wrapped in a pale blue shield.

"General...... Your wound needs to be treated. "On the side of the stretcher was a petite figure in a white mage's robe. She looked at the blush under Guderian's coat, and her voice was a little concerned.

“...... Out of the way, Master Anvila. Is there anything unusual about Natasha?" Guderian looked affectionately at the sleeping Natasha.

"Don't worry, general, everything is with me. Avella peeled open the hood of her mage's robe to reveal a waterfall of black hair, and her delicate facial features had a soft expression.

"We set up camp at the front...... Send Natasha to my tent. Guderian nodded slightly.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Augustine jumped off his horse and stood up in front of Guderian: "General, the matter of detecting the sentry and liaising with the large army has been arranged. ”

Augustine was wearing an infantry captain's standard armor, although it was not as good as the Mingguang armor guarded by the marshal, but this was a formal military armor, which made Sophia, Elizabeth and others envious.

Guderian touched his scalp that grew a little black, looked at Augustine for a while, and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, ask Instructor Achilles for advice." ”

"Yes! Augustine originally wanted to talk to Guderian, but when he saw Natasha on the stretcher on the side, he knew that Guderian was not in the mood. So after the usual report, he turned over and left. After all these hours of fighting, some of the ensigns in the Dragon Guard have been promoted to the ranks. As the parachuted Augustine and Renault, the marshal also conferred the rank of captain according to their martial arts and command ability. After arriving at the Dragon Guard, Guderian gave them the task of leading a squadron. As the commander's personal guard, it is appropriate for Augustine to lead the reconnaissance sequence. The squadron led by Renault is responsible for the transmission of the general's orders and the intelligence feedback of each squadron.

After seeing Natasha, Guderian hurried away again. Since last night's battle, Guderian has had an almost pathological thirst for strength - if he had more power at that time, he would have been able to fight alongside Natasha and not let her rise into the air alone, if she had her own company, she would not have overdrawn her mental power and cause a backpour of magic, let alone let Master Martin be killed by the enemy in order to save her! So Guderian urgently needed to improve his strength, and the great power contained in Karthas's body made him feel greatly threatened! When they met again, he hoped that he was capable of protecting those who needed protection. So he had to find a place to sort out the knowledge that Alice had poured into his mind, which was the source of strength.

The uphill where the camp is being set up is chaotic, of course, it is not appropriate. So Guderian came to the edge of a river that was frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow, and it was quiet except for a few soldiers who had come to cut down trees and patrol. Guderian tore away the snow and lit a bonfire on the exposed ground, silently. The wounds on his body were used for experiments - to promote wound healing at the cellular level, this was Guderian's general idea after sorting out the knowledge in his mind.

Guderian sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, and his mental power began to swim with the blood in his body in bundles. Platelet aggregation is required for wound healing...... This is platelets, and platelet proliferation is required to ...... Most of the energy required by the body is obtained through eating, and without energy, it is impossible to speed up metabolism...... Guderian felt very hungry, so he opened his eyes and looked around at the campfire, and it was only a matter of a few minutes, and he was so hungry?

After a while, Guderian got up and walked up the river. Drawing his sword, he cut through the snow to reveal the frozen river, slicing a human-sized hole through it. Guderian then crushed the dry food by hand, and after a while scattered it into the water under the ice in the hole. After about a quarter of an hour, blisters came out of the hole, and Guderian continued to sprinkle dry food. Several fish more than a foot long surfaced out of the water in the hole, and Guderian's sword instantly strung them together like lightning. So Guderian did the same, and after half an hour more than a dozen big fish were skewered out. Guderian looked at the raw fish that were solidifying in the snow, and thought that it should be enough, so he took off his coat and wrapped them up and returned to the campfire to cook.

Once Guderian had his fill, he continued to immerse himself in the exploration of the body. The contraction and peristalsis of the stomach allow food to dissolve into the tiniest particles in stomach acid and then enter the small intestine...... Most of the absorption of energy substances begins in the small intestine...... Guderian opened his eyes again and continued to grill the fish...... Although eating a large amount of food can improve energy absorption, it also requires bowel movements...... Who gives you the opportunity to eat and the time to defecate when fighting?......

Guderian sat by the campfire, staring at the fishbones on the ground in a daze. The wounds on the body have scabbed, but it will take a long time for new flesh to heal...... Although these fish can be supplemented with a lot of protein, well, protein, it is not enough...... According to the information given by Alice, the nutrients that the human body needs in a day...... I exceeded, but I'm not an ordinary person. Blood control can speed up metabolism, and the need for energy is also increased by an unknown number of times. However, according to Alice, there is a limit to the division of human cells...... Will this speed up my aging? It seems that this knowledge does not yet recognize the core secrets of the human body. The human genome map?I can only barely explore the level of cells with my mental power...... Do you need more powerful and qualitative spiritual power to explore the secrets below the cell? That is the core of the secrets of the human body? Guderian pondered, which made him a little helpless and impatient.

Perhaps, we can discuss it with Gandalf. Nowadays, as long as you have enough energy, you can achieve instant scabbing of wounds as long as you put aside questions and sequelae such as accelerated aging. The outburst in battle should be about three to four times stronger than the usual outburst...... Guderian measured to himself.

However, it is still not strong enough...... Magic...... Magic is powerful enough, can you borrow the theory of magic? Natasha said that magic is everywhere...... No, I can't communicate. Guderian was discouraged for a while, and wanting to become strong was not something that could be done overnight. Since there is no way to increase in a short period of time in terms of its own strength, what about it in terms of martial arts......? Well, I've never seen the big handsome really shoot......

Guderian stood up and pulled his sword in his hand. Swordsmanship...... Pick, cut, cut, point...... It's nothing more than an improvisation combination of these simple moves...... No, it's a combination of power skills. Such...... Can you really defeat the archmage?Guderian ignored the wound that had just scabbed over from his own efforts, and he struck a sword drawing technique with both hands on the hilt of his sword against the campfire...... An arc of light, and then a splinter in the middle of the dying bonfire...... Even the flames broke instantaneously...... Draw the sword and cut the water? Hmph, this is the draw of the sword and the broken flame, Guderian was smug. All the emotions before were swept away for a while-I was still very strong.
