"Sandy."

"Shen Yan."

The two "middle-aged men" shook hands politely and reservedly, and the force was not too big or small.

Feeling the other party's proportion, their eyes all became relieved and satisfied, and probably even the thoughts in their minds were the same at this moment - "After going through a series of messy things, I finally met a little bit of good luck, and the assigned partner looks good." ”

Shen Yan couldn't describe what he encountered after reporting to the so-called "Fourth Magic Legion" - the "Four Magic Legions" with only 8 people had not yet started the war, and the legion commander took his sister-in-law with him...... No, he teleported away with a female apprentice!

His run was treasonous, but he still ran without hesitation!

If that's all it takes, a few magicians can't decide the victory or defeat of a war for hundreds of thousands of people.

But what's worse is that he's one of the few prophetic gurus in the entire Imperial Coalition - so why he ran away is self-evident! The blow of his escape to the entire magic army can be imagined.

Then the deputy commander who took over was a woman, and in front of the remaining five people, she said in a voice that was about to cry, "No, don't panic! It's just a technical tweak! "Then the morale of the entire magic army is almost over...... Although there are only six people in total.

When Shen Yan stepped forward and said that he came to report, he needed to assign tasks and needed to receive a set of standard equipment for the magic legion. The deputy commander didn't even look at the order, so he cried and threw a bunch of keys to him, "Here you go, all for you!" Keep it all there, go get it! Aha~"

Ma Dan, should she be......

Just when Shen Yan was thinking this, a middle-aged magician, that is, Sandy, stood up and said calmly, "Legion Commander, even if you start pretending to be crazy now, it's too late - at this time, the anti-teleportation circle should have been opened, and the back city gate is also locked - except for repelling the demon tide or dying in battle, no one can leave the fortress at this time!" ”

The legion's crying suddenly stopped, and she angrily snatched the key from Shen Yan's hand and threw a robe and a wand to Shen Yan. Then he pointed to Sandy and said, "You, with him!" ”

Probably she felt that it was a punishment to separate Shandi and Shen Yan, who was "not a big whirlpool"! didn't know that the two "middle-aged people" looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief...... This man looks like a brain, better than a dragger!

Yes, in their opinion, the deputy captain with the largest vortex among all the people present is a typical pig teammate! Only a rookie believes that strength is everything, and when she goes to war, she will cause more trouble than she provides.

Strength pit teammates...... With her strength, I'm afraid she can trap the entire legion!

As soon as Shen Yan and Shandi's eyes made contact, they already understood each other's thoughts - the farther away from this woman, the better!

"Legion Commander, please let us go to the most brutal part of the war!"

Shen Yan impassionedly asked! He didn't even ask the name of the female corps commander...... Do people who don't survive more than three chapters still need a name?

*****

Leaving the "Fourth Magic Legion" station, Shen Yan couldn't help but shake his head, the situation of this magic legion was simply hopeless.

"Don't worry, you know, we magicians don't matter to this war at all." Shandi is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, and Shen Yan's worries are seen by him. "As Master Harlan said, the role of the mage is to put a few fireballs on the battlefield to show that we have been there...... Next year, the association will be able to continue to apply for funding from the empire with a cheeky face. The ones who really decided the war were actually them! ”

Sandy dragged Shen Yan's arm to the side of the road, allowing a large group of neatly walked, resolute-eyed elven archers to pass through - indeed, a magician with a maximum of 16 and less than a hundred people was really nothing in a war that gathered 170,000 soldiers. At least at the level of a legendary mage, it has the power to change a war.

“…… They are the real workhorses of the Empire, and a salvo can take out a small group of three-headed dogs! We? Three-headed dogs love to bathe in fireballs. "Sandy seems more sober than most, especially since he's a magician himself." Let's go, I'm not as prepared as you are, wait for me first. ”

Am I well prepared? A few minutes later, looking at Shandi, who took off his robe and put a piece of leather armor on his body, Shen Yan understood.

"Where is your leather armor soaked in water? This stink, so natural! I'm sure if you get into the militia, no one will see it...... This leather armor of mine is so new! Sandy found a mace and swung it twice, and hung it on his waist with satisfaction...... It seems that the magic wand that accelerates the casting of spells is also ready to be discarded at any time when he escapes.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm prepared." Finding that Shen Yan's eyes were strange, Shandi's old face turned red and defended. "There's only featherfall on that robe, and there's no use for fart! If you do fall off the walls, the best outcome would be to fall to your death rather than fall into a horde of demons and be eaten. ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded, and then put his robe on the outside of the leather armor......

"Featherfall" is also great, okay! Made, I hate the tone of these magicians who dislike too much magic - a warlock with very few types of magic thinks indignantly, I have a lot of good magic that I can't learn!

"Oh, it's better to do your way." Sandy picked up the robe and put it on top of his leather armor.

So two "pot-bellied" magicians were born, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

The "defense zone" they were assigned was on the western front wall, and they had to cross the small half of the wall to reach it. The main combat mission was to assist the Guerrillan Infantry Brigade and the Lizardmen Phalanx in the same sector in solving "minor problems about magic".

After all, the enemies are demons, and although they don't have full-time magicians, there are many types of demons and most of them have spell-like abilities.

If the demon is releasing fireballs or something, it's good to say that the Empire has come up with great tactics that minimize damage—but other psychic spells still need the help of a mage...... If it doesn't help, it's nothing, it's none of the magician's business...... Wars always kill people, don't they.

It was indeed time before the war began, and there was a bustling scene everywhere.

When passing by the mage camp again, seeing Terrence Gerald standing there explaining things to many people, Shen Yan hesitated to go over to say hello, but was dragged by Shandy.

"Trust me, don't get too close to that guy. Gerald is a disciple of Master Harlan and is running for the position of Vice President of the Imperial Capital Magic Association, which is why he is enthusiastic about this war. That guy has a lot of enemies, and he doesn't blink an eye when he sells his teammates, especially a mage with no background. ”

Sandy pointed at Shen Yan and said, Shen Yan is as good as a stream - you are right, I am the one with the most no background! Born with an ordinary template, it is all through self-struggle to achieve a little bit of achievement...... I'm going to cry sadly if I keep talking.

"Surprised why I'm so honest?" Sandy is so good at observing words and feelings! As soon as Shen Yan showed a little "gloomy" expression, he caught it.

"Isn't that simple? If any of us die on this battlefield, then it doesn't matter what is said. If we hadn't died here, we'd have become very good friends, and wouldn't it be right for friends to talk about this? ”

Shouldered the gun together, and came down from the battlefield as a friend of life and death...... That's true, but I'm using a fake face!

*****

What kind of scene is it like for 170,000 people to gather in a fortress, Shen Yan can be regarded as having seen it.

As the two of them walked, they kept walking past the army, even if the wall was so vast that they couldn't see the edge at a glance! Now that so many people are crammed in, it still makes him feel overcrowded.

One by one, the heralds galloped so that they had to stick to the edge of the wall. Shen Yan looked around, and all he saw were black heads, and the white qi exhaled by the crowd condensed into white clouds, suspended in the sky above the army!

The closer you get to the city gates, the denser the army becomes, and the better equipped it is.

Shen Yan even saw the kind of iron cans with people and horses, and the number was about a few thousand. Standing in a neat phalanx behind the city gates, armor glistening in the sun.

The soldiers were ordered not to speak, and the non-commissioned officers kept shouting hoarsely, trying to make their subordinates hear their orders. But countless shouts converged, and finally it was helpless to turn into noise...... But this can only be the case. Magical instruments that can make loud noises can only be used to issue major orders, and flags ...... The Otherworld is not in the habit of commanding with flags. Each flag here represents a king or a leader of a great power, do you dare to shake the flag?!

Finally, the sound of the horn sounded "Woo Woo Woo~~~" saved countless non-commissioned officers from the quagmire.

"Open the door!" "Open the door!"

Layers of sound are transmitted backwards, and finally form an overwhelming wave!

The gates of the Bronze Fortress opened with a roar!

*****

"Hey, who gave the order? Is the manager a fool? ”

Shen Yan couldn't understand why he wanted to open the city gate at this time. Even if he hadn't really participated in the ancient offensive and defensive battles, he knew that the best way to defend the city was to hide on the city wall and shoot!

In particular, the bronze fortress is impossible to surround, and the back road ...... I'm sorry, but the back road seems to have been cut off by my own people. But isn't it the best option to stick to this without worrying about supplies?

"Of course not! If my generation does not dare to confront the demons head-on, then sooner or later our descendants will not even be able to hide behind the city walls! Sandy said.

"Who said this stupid thing?" Shen Yan asked speechlessly...... This is obviously the kind of thing that sounds very reasonable at first glance, but carefully ponders bullshit that doesn't make sense.

"Asa Constance, Emperor of the Empire a hundred years ago, the first hero to die in battle in the Bronze Fortress." Sandy pointed to the stone statue that stood above the city gate, as if to state a historical fact.

Then he moved his finger to the man who rode in front of the tin cans procession, the first to step out of the gates, clad in gold armor, and continued. "Jeremy Constance, the current Emperor of the Empire, may be the eleventh Emperor of the Constance family to die here."

Shen Yan turned his head and looked at the Shandi.

Sandy smiled and pointed at herself.

"Reacquaint yourself with Sandy Constance, a descendant of the Constance family, the next person to die here."
