"Lord Castle, you... Is that true? Although he knew that such a question was not only rude, but could even be regarded as a kind of offense, but under the agitation of his mood, Saruman still unconsciously asked, which shows that the word "fame and fortune" is very tempting even for rebellious warriors.

"Saruman, let it go!" Hearing such words, Miguel on the side immediately said angrily. If it weren't for the fact that he would "rush" in front of Ms. Hanquan, the general would have stepped up and kicked this subordinate to the ground.

"Please atone for your sins!" As if awakened by Miguel's angry rebuke, Saruman immediately fell to one knee in front of the city lord with a look of panic.

"Hehe, of course it's true." However, Lady Hanquan was unusually tolerant of Saruman's "disrespect", and only smiled slightly, and waved her hand to Miguel to signal that she didn't have to say anything: "If you really want to embroider your name on the banner of the city defense army, you have to work hard." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Saruman bowed his head deeply and said yes in a loud voice. Then, I saw that he suddenly turned the corner of his eye and glanced fiercely at Moriarty who was not far away, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Ms. Hanquan: "Lord of the City, I have a plan for the next exercise with the guard squadron." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Lady Hanquan looked at Saruman a little intently, while Miguel on the side also frowned slightly, as if he didn't know what his subordinates wanted to do. Obviously, the construction that Saruman is proposing is not a predetermined script.

"In order to strengthen the authenticity and actual combat nature of the next exercise, I mention yì. Replace the prop weapon and change it back to a standard weapon. Saruman said word for word.

"Standard weapons?"

Hearing this almost audacious Jianyì, Ms. Hanquan also didn't expect it. It seems that the attraction of the two lottery heads just now is too great for Saruman, and he did not hesitate to have a real fire with the guard squadron. Perhaps Saruman is worried that the virtual prop weapons will not be able to fully exert the full combat power of his team, and at the same time, the final outcome of the judgment is not direct and clear. After all, there was still the Dean of Hockenheim on the viewing platform, in case the Grand Arcanist disagreed with some of the possible battle damage determinations in the exercise. In the end, it may be said that "the victory that originally belonged to the city defense army will be turned into a draw." Of course, the possibility of defeat was not considered by Saruman at all.

"Ridiculous! This exercise is just an internal exercise of Blue Crystal City. Do you think the guard squadron is an enemy? And everyone was a little stunned. Miguel suddenly took a step forward and retorted in a deep voice: "Besides, the sword has no eyes, if you really hurt your own people in battle." Isn't it to make outsiders laugh? ”

"Indeed." Lady Hanquan nodded, seemingly agreeing with Miguel's argument.

"General, the killing field is originally your life-and-death business. If you've been doing some things with your family, it's easier to go back and be a civilian. Saruman's eyes looked at the floor fixedly, and he tried his best to argue with his boss: "Besides, I also believe that the guard squadron will not become soft just because they took the real thing, right?" ”

"You!" For some reason, Miguel seemed to not know how to refute his subordinates, but he paused for nothing.

On the other side, Cruyff, who had never said a word, looked at the kneeling

"Moriarty, what do you think of Saruman's construction?" Mrs. Hanquan thought about it again, and suddenly kicked the ball to the other side of the exercise.

"For the sake of the safety of the Saruman Brigade, I think it's better to use props and weapons." Moriarty stepped up. Bow slightly. …,

"You...!" If it weren't for kneeling in front of Lady Cold Spring, Saruman would have jumped up and whipped the other party, and it was obvious that Moriarty's words were too unnoticed.

"Hehe, it's really the fortitude of some soldiers." Madame Cold Spring did not blame Moriarty for her arrogance, she smiled approvingly, and then looked at Figaro: "What do you think?" ”

"Moriarty is the commander of the guard squadron. He is solely responsible. Dean Figaro still had a calm and breezy expression, as if all the qiē in front of him was nothing more than a dull play.

"Since everyone has agreed to switch to standard weapons, then—" Lady Hanquan retracted her gaze and nodded.

"My lord, at least the armor-piercing series must be excluded, otherwise it will be a bit too much." But before the city lord could finish speaking, Miguel interrupted rarely. Obviously, such a restriction is the most disadvantageous for Moriarty, who owns the ultimate rights to EarthStudio and the Armor-Piercing series.

"But to make up for it, other magic items can still be used. In this way, the guard squadron should not suffer too much. Immediately afterward, Miguel added. This is clearly nonsense, though. At present, there are more than a dozen spellcasters in the guard squadron, including Moriarty, and the squadron leader himself is a genius alchemist, so the squadron will naturally be equipped with quite a bit of magical equipment.

"You're right." Ms. Hanquan let such an additional suggestion go away, and immediately made a decision: "Then, you two go down and prepare according to this." Remember, since we went all out during the exercise, we must also be restrained. Don't hurt yourself too much. ”

"Yes, Lord of the Castle." Although Lady Coldspring's last sentence was obviously quite contradictory, at this point, Saruman and Moriarty had no choice but to take the next path. After saluting in unison, the two walked briskly down the viewing platform and returned to their ranks.

And looking at the back that is gradually moving away, everyone on the viewing platform also has their own expressions, and so on.

"What, drill with standard weapons? Are the people up there crazy? When he heard the "superior spirit" conveyed by Moriarty, even if he was as calm as White, he whispered angrily: "Just for a magic ring and a number, two teams of their own people will kill each other!?" ”

"Was it the premeditation of the City Lord's Mansion?" On the side, Clausewitz's expression remained unchanged and asked directly. Obviously, in the early years, he experienced all kinds of winds and waves, and even had "internal contradictions" similar to those in front of him, and the old werewolf had already been trained to be calm and calm.

"Not premeditated. However, Ms. Hanquan is suspected of contributing to the trouble. Moriarty glanced sideways in the direction of the viewing platform and said in a deep voice, "Since the Supreme Commander of Aquamarine City does not prevent this kind of infighting, then the only explanation is that she doesn't really want to see our squadron become a force of guards to rely on. ”

"Hmph, politicians who eat people and don't spit out bones!" Margaret pursed her lips and said disdainfully.

"Well, we'll have an hour left, so let's go down and get ready. Since the Saruman team wants to play something exciting, we might as well fulfill each other, and we can do it

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"Staff officer, there is still some time for us to make some adjustments to the plan. Refer to the information detected by the previous magic sand table, add the factors of the standard weapon, and see what details need to be modified. Then, Moriarty walked up to Clausewitz and whispered.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The old werewolf smiled lightly and nodded, as if he was a little excited.

An hour passed, and the snowflakes falling in the air were a few points bigger.

In the cold white wind that roared in the sky, the guard squadron and the Saruman brigade finally stood face to face on the wide exercise ground. Conventionally, the initial distance between the two teams is two hundred meters. And at this distance, whether it is magic or a bow and crossbow, it basically loses its lethality. …,

As the rousing drums of war finally fell with a bang, the exercise officially began. At this moment, everyone's eyes converged on the two teams that were about to fight for the real time.

"Squadron of guards! Whole, array! ”

On the battlefield, the first thing that sounded was the loud and unusual roar of White, the deputy squadron leader of the guard squadron. With this command, the eighty-three people who originally looked like a column dispersed at once, and then gathered again in the blink of an eye. In just a few seconds that could not be discerned by any gaze, the guard squadron had already formed a rectangular phalanx more than ten meters square through a dazzling set of whole movements.

In this phalanx, directly in front of them were two rows of crossed ironclad infantry, a total of twenty people. These infantry were armed with one-star sharp short swords in one hand and a square shield in the other, and their whole body was sturdy iron armor, like a fence cast of iron.

Behind the infantry array, there was a row of magic swordsmen standing neatly, and Gustav was slightly half a position ahead of the other gunfire squads, slightly protruding.

In the rear, Moriarty was independent. Behind him were Deputy Squadron Leader White and the Dwarven warriors of the Warhammer Squad. As for the remaining ten ironclad infantry, they served as the rear guard and reserve of the entire phalanx.

On both sides of the battle array, ten wolf cavalry were concentrated, guarding the two wings.

From a distance, the phalanx of the guard squadron looked like a small but imposing steel fortress, lying across this pure white ice and snow. Although the battle has not really started yet, a deep and solemn aura of slaughter has continued to gather from this battle array, making the audience all moved.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, when he saw the guard squadron laying down such a strict formation so lightly, whether it was Saruman on the opposite side or Miguel on the viewing platform, they couldn't help but jump a few times in the corner of their eyes.

The key to victory on the battlefield is the strength of the soldiers, and the strict military discipline and smooth command. And now it seems that although the guard squadron has been established for a short time, the officers and men have really formed an army, and Moriarty can command it as freely as he wills.

Seeing such a phalanx, even Cruyff couldn't help but secretly shout hello in his heart. What's more, the other nearly a thousand other Azurite City Defense Army troops were all amazed and hesitant.

Sure enough, the first appearance of the guard squadron had already calmed the audience...... ）
