Donald tossed his spear aside, sat down on the yellow weeds, took off his sharpened boots, and rubbed his sore feet.

In addition to some who still have tasks on their bodies, his comrades-in-arms are also doing similar things.

Their current strength of less than 1,000 people is the 7th Reconnaissance Team of the 3rd Battalion of the Blue Cobalt Legion of the 2nd Front of the Coalition Army of Ilianne - after the original 1,500-strong brigade was defeated by the orc infantry with a 5:1 superiority, this formation fell to this miscellaneous unit where most of the soldiers were only transferred from the militia to the regular regiment......

The first front of humanity against the orcs has almost been wiped out, and even the fortress of Lorens, where the most elite unit of the Willian is stationed, the 'Frontier Guard', has fallen shortly after the battle because it was attacked from two sides, and the fate of the archmage Lady Sharon is uncertain.

However, the people above believe that this is just the result of human beings being attacked by sneak attack and being too careless. As a result, the legions of the second front carried out a blind advance, resulting in the entire battle line being cut to pieces by small orc forces, and the casualties were increasing more and more.

At this time, those pampered nobles finally realized that the situation was wrong, so they organized the third front and began to ask for help from the Pure White Church and the Qiyao Mage Association.

Donald's squad was lucky, having only marched for a few days during the two days that the front had advanced, and had not officially engaged the orcs.

"I'm tired of that, little rookie."

The old soldier with a scar on his face straightened his helmet and looked tired with a playful look on his face. Donald, who couldn't wait to fall asleep: "The first rule in the soldier's code of conduct is not to let the weapon go more than a foot away from you, have you forgotten?" ”

"Don't call me the Year of the Cabbage!"

Donald glared at the veteran fiercely, but it didn't deter him in the slightest, but made the other party laugh.

"Now it's just a rest on the march, and if you do sleep, the whip will be eaten after that."

The Scar Veteran said in a moment's time.

"I know I'm just taking a break."

Donald punched his spirits a little frustratedly and knocked on the door on his shoulder, which was covered in iron.

The initial excitement of receiving weapons and equipment was long gone, and now these iron bumps were just a burden to his backache.

"Be grateful for your weapons and armor at all times."

It was as if he had seen through the young man's thoughts. The veteran gently touched the scar on his face. Speaking earnestly, he said to Donald: "On the battlefield, only they are the most loyal and can protect you. ”

His words made Donald's hand, which was about to unload his shoulder armor, freeze in the air with some embarrassment.

After a while, the sixteen-year-old continued to say depressedly, "You are the same as my grandfather. ”

"Oh? Did your grandfather also participate in any wars? ”

The veteran looked for a more comfortable haystack. He poked his spear before sitting down carefully. Then he took the spear in his arms. Narrowing his eyes, he asked Donald.

"My grandfather fought in the Battle of the Grey Cuckoo, and he was a survivor of the Lostland Canal."

Speaking of his grandfather, Donald, who was just a big boy, showed a look of pride and pride: "Because of the bravery of the battle." My grandpa also received a Radiant Warrior Medal from the church! ”

Seeing the veteran in front of him with a look of surprise, the boy stroked his chest and smiled contentedly.

Although the Glow Warrior Medal is only a very low-level magic item, which can only increase the physical ability of the holder by a small amount, but its own meaning is extraordinary, if his grandfather's family is good enough at that time, I am afraid that with a little money, he can become a small nobleman - at least at the knight level.

Even now, there were still people who bought the little medal at a heartbeat for Donald, but his grandfather never sold it.

At this time, the precious medal was no longer on the shirt inside his half-armor.

It seems that in order for his grandson to survive on the battlefield, the old man, who was half buried in the ground, also made a bloody investment.

"And don't look at me like this, in fact, I was also the first in that Junisons del militia training camp!"

As he spoke, the young man puffed out his chest proudly.

Unexpectedly, the veteran, who was still a little surprised, showed a sneering expression at this: "Militia? That kind of thing is cannon fodder when put on the battlefield...... War has its own laws. ”

At this point, he paused and pointed behind Donald, "Only that kind of magician, as soon as he comes out of school, has great power. ”

Donald followed the veteran's finger and saw a young girl in a mage's robe walking past the soldiers, walking in the direction of their captain.

Because the girl didn't wear the hood on the mage's robes, Donald could see the girl's face very clearly. The girl looks a little smaller than him, although she is not a big beauty, her long sea blue curly hair and delicate facial features look a different kind of cuteness.

Probably sensing Donald's gaze, the girl smiled sweetly at him.

"It turns out that there is a girl among the magicians who have been following us......"

After a while, Donald said in a daze.

"I heard that it seems to be a magician-sama who came out of Ed's magic academy and conducted practical exams."

The veteran touched his scar, and his tone was quite happy: "Their leading teacher has cleaned up more than a hundred wolf cavalry by himself before, tsk, if it is replaced by our army, it will be at least seven or eight hundred people to pile up with human lives!" It's a pity that the lord was borrowed by a battalion of flies-like guys with sharp noses. But in any case, it's better to have a mage than nothing, and the mage in the army is a configuration that can only be enjoyed by the main army......"

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Donald was still looking at the direction the wizard girl had left.

So he angrily knocked the big boy on the head with the hilt of his spear: "Little rookie, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to that magician, right?" ”

"No, no, no ......"

Donald hurriedly shook his head in the negative.

Then he said a little frustratedly: "I don't deserve it." ”

"It's good that you're self-aware."

The veteran scratched his beard: "I've heard that if there is a man who doesn't open his eyes, he casually courtes a female magician. They'll throw each other whole into a cauldron and make a strange potion! ”

"You're talking about a witch......

While the old and the young were idling around in a hitch, a man rode a barking colt (a common creature that resembles a unicorn, slightly faster than a horse). Four-legged beasts, hoofed beasts, and crusade level about level 1) rushed over from a distance.

It was a scout sent out by their troops.

"There's an orc ahead! They're coming this way! ”

He let out a loud roar before falling off the barking colt.

On his back were a few feathered arrows of very rough workmanship.

In order to report the situation of the enemy to his troops, he endured until he completed his mission, and did not breathe.

The barking foal rubbed his face against the scout's face and hissed.

Suddenly. The atmosphere of panic spread throughout the camp at once.

"Send out so many scouts. Is this the only one who escaped back? Donald stood up at once, and if you looked closely, you could see that the boy's legs were still trembling slightly.

"Don't be foolish, the other scouts are trying to lure the orcs away."

The veteran comforted him and stood up. Moved your body a little.

This moment. The difference between recruits and veterans was evident at once - the recruits were nervous there. whispering, making noises; The veterans were already ready to meet the enemy, and some of them had a better mentality and began to do warm-up exercises.

"Don't be afraid!"

This time. The captain of this nominally scout team, but in fact just cannon fodder miscellaneous troops, finally played his part, and with the help of several magicians, he directly suppressed those recruits.

"Array, take your spears, what was taught in the militia camp is what you will do now! Hurry up, don't be in a daze! If you want to live, do as I say! ”

With the order given, the troops, which were still a little chaotic, finally began to show a little bit of the demeanor of a formal legion.

Donald was also a soldier in the front, he had already found his place, holding his spear, putting the spear on the shield of the soldier in front of him, ready to stab at any moment.

Not far away, you could already see the smoke and dust raised by the orcs—it was like a sandstorm.

The experienced veteran suddenly became a little desperate. It is especially possible to raise such a large amount of smoke and dust, and the number of enemies is definitely not very small. Even if there were only a thousand of them, it would not be difficult to destroy their own miscellaneous troops.

By the time the enemy appeared, the veterans found themselves thinking too optimistically.

What's the deal with that kind of army that is boundless no matter how you look at it?! This number has already exceeded two or three thousand, and it has directly exceeded 10,000!

The ground trembled slightly because of the rush of countless orcs, if it weren't for the presence of the Overseer team behind them, I'm afraid this miscellaneous army would have collapsed long ago.

"Miss Silwen, I think it's better for you to leave quickly."

The captain only felt bitter in his mouth.

I thought it would be a good thing to be able to meet these magicians and double the combat effectiveness of my troops, but I didn't expect that I would directly run into the enemy's main force before I could be happy.

Why has no one reported the whereabouts of this unit?

Isn't the answer obvious? Because all the human legions that came across this army have been destroyed......

"It's okay, we have a way out, until then, please let us sacrifice our meager strength for humanity."

The girl looked back at the two companions who were doing the practical assessment with her, and found that their young faces were not afraid at all, but full of fighting spirit, and touched the homecoming crystal (student's personal binding version) in her pocket and continued: "After all, it is our motherland that is being invaded now. ”

Indeed, compared to those rookie soldiers, the three mages showed much more composure - what is the orc charge, and we have come face-to-face with double-digit monsters in the Tower of the Endless Sky......

The handover of the two units took place in a split second.

The wall of steel made of human bodies was crushed by the torrent of orcs in an instant.

Donald was pleased when the spear in his hand felt a solid stab. As a result, the orc who was directly stabbed in the chest by him was so strong that he broke the spear in his chest, knocked Donald who was still holding the handle of the spear unconscious, and continued to pounce on them despite the wound that had expanded because of his mess and had begun to bleed.

Coach, this is not the same as saying good......

Although the orcs have long been heard of being fierce, now this situation is clearly beyond the realm of fierceness.

The current orcs are simply like the legendary walking corpses, not only are they infinitely powerful, but they can still move no matter how they fight. The action doesn't stop.

Even more scumbersome. These orcs' fighting instincts did not disappear like the walking corpses, but were imbued with beast-like instincts and rough fighting styles.

The person who was originally quite calm watched his comrades-in-arms being torn into pieces alive by several orcs, and he was immediately frightened and had no intention of fighting.

Donald did not fall into a deep coma. Soon he woke up.

Then I was frightened by the purgatory-like sight in front of me.

An army of nearly 1,000 men was barely ten minutes long, and only a third of them were left to support it. And it's because of the help of a magician that I can survive......

"Don't be in a daze. Rookie! ”

A loud shout woke him up like a dream.

The Scarface veteran wielded a broadsword he had picked up from nowhere, neutralizing the orc's attacks and grabbing Donald up. I want to take him to the protective array set up by those magicians.

However, after taking a few steps, several feathered arrows pierced the scarred veteran's calf, causing him to fall to his knees and a severe blow to the chest.

Almost squeezing out his most relentless strength, he slashed back the orc, and the scarface veteran pushed Donald: "Quick... Come on...... The future of the empire... It's right in your ...... These young people ......"

Before he could finish speaking, several orcs had already pounced on him and hacked the veteran to death.

Regardless of his grief, Donald picked up a weapon that was probably a long sword from the ground, and used the strength of his militia training camp to force back a few orcs, and then successfully merged with the remaining hundreds.

It was only when he came to this magical protective shield that he realized that the situation here was not good.

The students in Adric's Academy are all selected by the system-produced blue owls, and the overall quality is not much worse.

Among them, Theo, Alyssa and Alice can be counted as the first line, Theo has already stepped up to the level of a mid-level magician, Alyssa is steady, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes a mid-level, and Alice's puppet magic cannot be calculated by common sense; Because of their experience and experience, the four class leaders have also surpassed ordinary students to reach the senior elementary level and are counted as the second line, and the remaining students can barely be divided into the third-line top students who have stepped into the elementary level for a period of time, and the fourth-line ordinary students who have just stepped into the elementary level or are about to step into the elementary level.

Fourteen-year-old Sylven is the third line of them. Among the students selected by the blue owl, she is already relatively old. Her own magic literacy is only a little worse than the four squad leaders, but unlike the four squad leaders, she does not have her own exclusive equipment, except for the standard magic robe and staff, all the magic items on her body are exchanged little by little by accumulating reward points.

Her two companions were similar.

So they gave up the attack, and the three of them worked together to cast spells, and maintaining a large magic shield was already very laborious for them who were only at the beginning level, not to mention that there were countless enemies who were frantically attacking this shield.

Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and maybe the teacher will come......

Even if Zhilu Dao was originally affiliated with the Lylian National Academy of Magic, and was only a middle-level teacher, it would be impossible to reverse the current situation, but this thought still gave Xierwen the belief that they could grit their teeth and persevere.

Suddenly, a young voice sounded beside her.

"Be careful!"

Before the girl could react, she felt like she had been thrown to the ground by a person.

Stepping over the figure's shoulder, the girl could see that where she had been standing, there was now an extra totem pole!

There is even a shaman hidden in this group of orcs!

If he hadn't been knocked down, I'd have died by now.

Thinking of this, Xierwen couldn't help but turn pale, and she was afraid for a while.

The Homecoming Crystal is an active item that will not be activated if not used. Reality is not the Tower of the Endless Sky, and if you die, you only need to deduct a few credits.

The screams that rang out one after another made Sirwen realize that she was still on the battlefield.

Because of the totem pole just now, although the three of them were not injured because they were rescued by several soldiers, the magic shield had disappeared due to the interruption of the spell, and the orcs who were eyeing the outside immediately began to slaughter the soldiers on the periphery.

You'll have to recast the protective spell now!

The girl just wanted to stand up, but found that her head was already dizzy from overcasting.

Almost at the same moment, an orc broke through the obstacles, rushed to the girl, held the machete that had been curled, and slashed at the girl!

At that moment, Donald, who had just pounced on the girl, raised his sword to open the opponent's machete, and then used his sword skills that his grandfather had trained since he was a child to cut off the orc's head!

"I'll protect you!"

The boy who was splashed with the smell of blood stood in front of the girl, like a shield, indestructible.

For some reason, Sylvin suddenly remembered a knight novel she had read.

But regardless of the will, the disparity in numbers and strength was still too great, and the remaining soldiers were soon reduced to more than 100 people.

Just when they thought they were going to die, and the three magicians also wanted to activate the Return Crystal with a bitter face - the Adric Academy never advocated the burning of jade, magicians are the treasures of mankind, and it is very important to protect themselves - at that moment, a faint blue light suddenly flashed in the distant sky.

All the orcs stopped their movements as if they had been paused, and in an instant, they left behind the remnants of the defeated army that would have been wiped out in a minute or two, and the wind and clouds surged in the direction of the dark blue light......

The rest looked at each other for a few seconds, then cheered!

Survived!

We survived! (To be continued......)
