"Hmph, I didn't expect that Moriarty to have so many genuine goods under his hands." Looking at the silent battle formation two hundred meters away, Saruman clenched his fists heavily, and then suddenly shouted at his soldiers: "All of them, line up, prepare to attack!" ”

With Saruman's roar, hundreds of soldiers behind him began to "hula" and act. Under the leadership of two squadron leaders and ten captains, these new and old soldiers of the city defense army finally formed a set of standard "arrow cluster" stormtroop formations in a posture that was not so smooth and orderly.

The so-called "arrow cluster" charge formation is simply a triangular attack array. At the very tip of the "Arrow Cluster", the most powerful warriors are usually used as the tips of the arrows to ensure an unstoppable and strong penetration capability at this point. On the next two flanks, the setters will stretch diagonally and place heavy cover. When an attack is launched, once the "sharp arrow cluster" successfully breaks through the enemy position, the heavy troops on both flanks in the rear can be sharply inserted left and right along the open breach, and then completely shredder and break the enemy's entire defense line with the force of thunder. Of course, in the center of the entire arrow array, a certain reserve and long-range strike force will be retained as a supplement to the attack power.

It can be said that the "arrow cluster" storm formation is a very classic and durable attack formation in the military history of the Antagreqi Continent. Although the structure is simple and even simple, once the forces are strong and the "arrow cluster" is sufficient, it can produce an attack wave and breakthrough power that can cause headaches and palpitations in any defensive position.

And now in the actual formation of the Saruman brigade, the tip of the arrow at the top of the formation is naturally dominated by the seventh-level warrior Saruman himself and several other middle-level fighters under him. As for its two wings. It is equipped with powerful ironclad infantry. Compared to the Guard Squadron, Saruman's sword and shield warriors were not only seasoned veterans, but also younger, stronger, and more impactful. Inside the arrow formation, there were two rows of spearmen and a team of crossbowmen standing behind the ironclad infantry. However, these fighters were all recruits who had joined the squadron when it was expanded into a squadron, so today Saruman only intends to use them as a second-tier force.

However, all of the above is only the original regular strength of the Saruman Brigade. In response to today's exercise. General Miguel finally sent new reinforcements to his men yesterday. It was the three cloaked and hooded figures that were originally hidden in the column and were not so conspicuous, but as the queue of the soldiers of the Saruman brigade changed, they suddenly stood out.

"What is this?" On the viewing platform, Cruyff was also puzzled. He was all too familiar with his colleague, General Miguel's troops. It's just that he still hasn't recognized the origin of the three "cloaked men".

However, as the three of them slowly removed the hood that covered their faces, it was revealed that they were three mages of different ages. Immediately. A noisy shout and a sound of surprise sounded around the entire exercise ground, almost suppressing the sound of the howling wind and snow.

"It's from the Teal Mage Order in the past." As a third-level warrior, Moriarty also has excellent eyesight, and immediately recognized the three people who suddenly appeared in the enemy array as members of the original Azure Mage Regiment. It's just that because Figaro started the mage group before, a group of mage group members who were not from Hockenheim were all transferred out by Ms. Hanquan, or directly joined the city lord's mansion, or joined the city defense army. But unexpectedly, Miguel actually assigned three of the mages to the Saruman brigade at once.

"Miguel, what's going on?" Lady Hanquan looked at the three mages who had inexplicably appeared in the sequence of the Saruman Brigade with a slightly displeased expression. Asked. …,

"Lord City Lord, in order to cope with the brutal war that followed, a group of mages from the former Azure Mage Regiment were transferred to the city defense army. And the three mages are already part of the Saruman brigade, and they are not improvised. Miguel replied unhurriedly, though such explanations clearly didn't make sense. But at least in the big festival, people can't grasp the handle. And that's exactly what Miguel wants to achieve.

"General Miguel, two of those three mages are second-level mages, and one is a fourth-level mage. It seems unconscionable that such a considerable amount of magical power is concentrated in one brigade, right? "As Hockenheim's provost, Depra has naturally dealt with the Azure Mage Order for a long time. So he recognized the background, background, and rank of the three mages at a glance, and immediately asked Miguel rhetorically. And there is one thing that the high-level mages have not yet spoken, that is, the relationship between these three mages and the mages of the Hockenheim faction in the mage group has not been very good, and it can be said that there are many festivals.

"Hehe, Master Depra, this is also an exploration and research of the city defense army's new tactics of mages, so it can't be said to be abnormal. Moreover, aren't there ten magic swordsmen concentrated in the guard squadron as well? Such a configuration of magical power, coupled with the genius mage of Squadron Leader Moriarty, should be said to be even more impressive. In the face of the high-level mage's questioning, Miguel seemed to have a draft for a long time, and he spoke eloquently, which made people impeccable.

"Hmph, how can a demon swordsman compare to a fourth-level mage?" Of course, Depra could not agree with such a fallacy on the other side.

"There's no need to argue, just read on. This kind of change is more interesting. Isn't it? But before Depra could finish speaking, Dean Figaro, who was sitting in the center, interrupted lightly. It seems that the Grand Arcanist either doesn't care about the life or death of his squadron of guards, or he really has faith in Moriarty and his men.

"Yes!"

Seeing Figaro speak, both Depra and Miguel bowed their heads respectfully and listened to the training. As for Mrs. Cold Spring, she won't say anything more.

Just as several people on the viewing platform stopped arguing and turned back to continue "watching the play", the three mages who unexpectedly appeared on the scene stretched out their arms from their cloaks almost at the same time, and each of them held a black magic wand "loyal companion" in their hands.

"Humph!" Seeing this scene, Depra, who had just died down, couldn't help but snort again.

There is no doubt that the three magic wands must also be military supplies that Miguel procured from Laika Studios in the name of the City Defense Army. It is more likely that at the cost of "loyal companions", Miguel persuaded the three mages to join the Saruman brigade and make enemies of Hockenheim face to face.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two second-level mages, under the leadership of the fourth-level mage, began to summon the pre-stored spells in the magic wand one after another.

"Breath of the Wind, Petrified Skin, Magic Shield", a set of three sets of first-level buff spells were blessed to Saruman and several mid-level warriors like flowing water. Immediately, different colors of magical light shone brilliantly at the tips of the arrows, and a colorful light glowed in the snow. And with the infusion of powerful magical power, Saruman and the others couldn't help but let out a long shout, feeling extremely happy.

Soon, after the first-level spells in the "Loyal Companion" were emptied, the two low-level mages temporarily handed over their magic wands to the fourth-level mages. And I began to hold the spell, and continued to summon the petrified skin, a very affordable first-level spell, for the ironclad infantry on both wings in the usual way. As for the fourth-level mage, he held the three magic wands alone, and looked at the guard squadron in the distance, looking coldly, his eyes full of revenge.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, these mages..."White said angrily as he looked at the mages who had unexpectedly appeared. …,

"Implementation of the 'Targeted Strike Program'. Target, the fourth-level mage. Instantly! Ignoring White's words, Moriarty ordered directly.

Compared to the two second-level mages who were constantly blessing the petrified skins of the soldiers of the Saruman brigade, Moriarty was obviously more mindful and wary of the fourth-level mage who had not moved for the time being. It's not that because the fourth-level mage has a higher level and stronger strength, Moriarty has to be afraid. The fundamental reason for this lies in the "loyal partner". Because in addition to having a higher class level and greater magic power than the other two second-level mages, a fourth-level mage must have mastered at least one second-level spell. And now, Moriarty concluded that the three magic wands that had been gathered together must still have one untouched second-level spell stored after the five first-level spells had been emptied. And among those three, only a fourth-level mage had the strength to inspire them.

Second-level spells, at first glance, may not seem so scary. At the very least, Moriarty can be summoned as well. However, once a second-level spell is linked to an instant, it immediately becomes a terrifying force that can influence a battle. What's more, the fourth-level mage in front of him was not holding one, but three entire second-level spells. If it were three fireballs or three bolts of lightning, the guard squadron would probably be destroyed by one of them.

So, without first leveling this enemy, Moriarty has no chance of winning in this exercise at all.

However, it was not easy to kill the fourth-level mage. This is like taking the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, which seems to be extremely popular, but it is rarely a successful case on the real battlefield. Because no matter how clumsy a field commander is, he understands that he must focus on strengthening defense and protection of his vital parts. And the fourth-level mage in front of him, since he has become the "strategic long-range strike force" of the Saruman brigade, how can he allow the enemy to touch it lightly?

Whether it was an all-army dispatch or a master's attack, Moriarty believed that as long as his side broke into the range of the opponent, Saruman would immediately order the fourth-level mage to strike without hesitation, and inflict a head-on blow on the attacker with three instantaneous second-level spells. Immediately afterward, the entire army of the Saruman Brigade would swoop down on the trajectory opened up by the magical attack, devouring the battered squadron of guards whole.
