Chapter 0037: Brill
Eighteen days later, in the suburbs of Brill.
Rumble ....
In the sound of horses' hooves, which was gradually amplified from far and near, a team composed of more than 100 cavalry appeared in the distance of the spacious dirt road, and drove towards the guard station in the northwest direction of the suburbs at a very fast speed.
"Level 3 alert!" As soon as the officer of the station gave the order, a low military horn sounded.
As one of the largest cities in the Terrisfal Glades of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Brill has been a transportation hub and strategic location since its founding, and even in the Orc War, it did not completely fall, although the war was almost over, most of the population had moved out, and most of the army had withdrawn, but the city still had a large number of civilians and tens of thousands of regular troops.
For a large city of this size, the chances of being attacked by the remnants of the orcs are very low.
But even if they knew this, the watchtower of the military station could clearly see that the cavalry team coming from afar was human, and the soldiers in the military station still entered their respective combat posts in an orderly manner, the hunters climbed to the top of the wall with bows, the soldiers with shields lined up in front of the gate of the military station, and the only catapult in the military station was also wound up and loaded with oil cans, ready to ignite and fire at any time.
Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the cavalry team slowed down and slowly approached.
A few minutes later, the cavalry came to the station.
At the front of the line was a middle-aged man in a luxurious and heavy priest's robe, holding the reins in one hand and a long and wide book with a hard cover in the other.
The two are Wu Hao and Ethan Leon.
"William." Ethan Leon turned his head to look at Wu Hao: "Do you need to rest for a while?" ”
"No, you don't." Wu Hao gasped: "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency the Grand Prosecutor." ”
In that conversation eighteen days ago, Wu Hao was very frustrated to show that there were some unpleasant conversations between himself and Gavinrad, Gavinrad had already gone to the Storm Kingdom first, and then proposed that he wanted to continue to practice as a professional in the orphan camp after the previous professional test.
There is no mention of becoming a Level 2 Priest at all.
Everyone knows that the Brotherhood of the Holy Light is a fanatical organization, and the internal members absolutely support and obey the leader, but Gavenrad has the identity of a sage student, and Wu Hao's title of new sage is too easy, so that Ethan Lien not only did not suspect it after hearing the news of the conflict between Gavin Rad and Wu Hao, but felt that it was very natural.
Ethan Lien felt that if he were Gavinrad, he would definitely not be convinced by the sage successor who suddenly appeared in front of him.
In addition, Wu Hao also mentioned that he wanted to meet his group of followers.
After ruling out the possibility of disguising demons, Wu Hao's precocious behavior in the orphan camp had already been turned over by the upper-level officers, but no one had ever doubted it, which was the result of Wu Hao's subtle little bit of perfect performance for others.
Cold, stubborn, tenacious, and a little childish at this age.
This is people's impression of Wu Hao.
In addition, Kaliya has become a member of the Brotherhood of Light as she said, not only did she not reveal a little about Wu Hao's monster-like potential and surprising maturity, but took the initiative to cover up for him and gave Ethan Lien a wrong judgment, which caused the Grand Prosecutor, who was still a little uncertain, to be convinced, judging that the new sage did not have the unanimous support of the Brotherhood of Light.
The power of faith is completely incomprehensible to others.
In Ethan Lien's view, Kaliya became a priest just to avoid damage to the royal family's face, which was a forced compromise behavior, and her own Minerhil royal bloodline would definitely make her put the interests of the royal family first, but she didn't expect that Kaliya was also a fanatical believer, and she had long abandoned her past identity and position.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Wu Hao left Kaliya.
With these conditions, Wu Hao finally persuaded Ethan Lien and agreed to take him to continue the learning process that should be done after the previous professional test, and marched to Brill for eighteen days, just to complete the preconditions for this process.
"Hold on, it'll be there in a while." Ethan Lien smiled kindly.
Wu Hao nodded, gasping for breath and adjusting his breathing.
The identity of the new sage, according to Ethan Lien, is currently known only to the king, the top nobles, and the upper commanders of the officers, and it is not widely publicized, which is in line with the original intention of protecting Wu Hao, and also so that Wu Hao can be treated fairly in the next professional training process, and will not be given special care because of his title.
Practicing as a professional is not a trick, and if you slack off, you will inevitably be whipped.
"But no one dares to be a teacher to the sages." Ethanlien said, "So I can only hide your identity for the time being. ”
"Understood." Wu Hao nodded in agreement when he heard this, but he sneered disdainfully in his heart.
What Ethanlien said has a certain amount of truth in it, but there must also be some careful thinking of the royal family of Lordaeron, faith is just a tool of rule for the royal family and nobles, but it is the only spiritual pillar for the common people, if Wu Hao's new sage identity spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation in the army dominated by civilians.
Without this layer of identity, the difficulty of killing Wu Hao would be very small.
Of course, it does not mean that Wu Hao is in danger, after all, the way of the Holy Light has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sage is not the commander of the light pole, but has the Holy Light Brotherhood with members all over the Eastern Kingdom as a support, even if he can solve Wu Hao silently, the follow-up troubles caused are very terrible.
The kingdom of Lordaeron is indeed strong, but it cannot crush the other kingdoms to join forces.
Moreover, the kingdom is not monolithic.
"Unless I die, I will not be treated lightly, but will be closely protected and treated favorably." The current situation is also what Wu Hao is happy to see, he is already completely sure, his acting skills can definitely hide from everyone, and he will not easily touch the high-voltage line of the royal family: "Giving grace is much easier than making evil, not to mention that I am still from the Lordaeron Kingdom, just a child." ”
A few words of conversation between the two here, naturally there were entourages and soldiers at the station.
More than ten minutes later, the team crossed the station and continued to move forward.
On the night after Wu Hao and Ethan Lien made an agreement, Wu Hao inquired about the distance and road conditions of the Caliya Tirisfal Woodland, and knew that if there was a rapid march from the garrison to Brill, it would only take thirteen days at most to reach the destination, instead of the current eighteen days to reach the outskirts of the city.
Ethan Lien's explanation was to avoid encountering the remnants of the orcs.
The team of more than 100 people said more and said less, there is no ability in this world that can see the level of a professional at a glance, which is also the reason why Wu Hao can hide his identity as a level 2 priest in front of the old priest Ethan Lien, so Wu Hao can't be sure whether this group of cavalry is strong or not.
Judging from the external performance, it should be a group of elites.
But according to Ethan Lien's account, if the number of enemies in their group does not exceed twenty, they can easily eliminate it, and if they exceed fifty, they will have a lot of damage, and if they exceed eighty, they can only flee in a hurry, and if there are more, everyone's life and death can only be determined by their own destiny.
It has to be the remnants of the orcs, only infantry, no warlocks, and no such troops as wolf warriors.
Wu Hao was very surprised by these words.
"Obviously, the balance of power in this area is more like WAR3 than World of Warcraft." Wu Hao secretly pondered, in the World of Warcraft, the gap between NPCs is level, but in WAR3, 1 orc infantry can kill 2 human infantry, as the lowest level of troops, the gap between them is very huge.
It's quite logical.
Take the Warcraft movie, orcs are generally close to three meters tall, and humans are similar to the earth in the previous life, and the pure body strength comparison between the two is like the difference between an adult strong man and a schoolboy, which also explains the main reason why the alliance was defeated by the tribe during the first orc war.
There is a huge disparity in the combat effectiveness of the bottom.
Perhaps the diversion had a lot to do with the remnants of the orcs, but Wu Hao still believed that the main reason was not the case.
No matter how high Ethanlien is, he is only a high-ranking officer, and the king is still needed to make decisions about the new sage, and it is obvious that the extra time deliberately detoured is just to deliver the news and wait for a reply, and now it seems that the attitude of the royal family is positive, at least for the time being, there is no hostility.
The Minethil royal family met Wu Hao's request to continue his training as a professional.
The orphan camp of Chehai Camp is just a collection of orphans rescued from all over the country during the war, even if the orphans in this camp pass the test and train as professionals, and successfully persist until they reach adulthood at the age of 16, most of them are just low-level cannon fodder, and they who are orphans and helpless will definitely not be paid much attention.
In addition to orphans, there were also a large number of civilians in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
These civilians also have offspring of appropriate age, and need to be selected and trained as professionals, and the descendants of this part of the commoners obviously will not stay with orphans, but have their own training bases in each large city of the kingdom, as long as they pass the professional test and are selected, they will get good educational conditions and a relatively comfortable training environment.
One level further up is the highest-level training facility.
At present, in the Lordaeron Kingdom, only Brill has such a training place, and the place where Wu Hao is going now is there, most of the school-age teenagers in that training place are the descendants of nobles and high-ranking officers, and a very small number of them are the seedlings of outstanding talents unearthed from all over the world, and it is the future elite gathering place of the real kingdom.
This is the royal family's goodwill to the new sage.
