Chapter 3: The Fourth Legion

“Tip of the spear,Edge of the knife”

(Tip of a spear, blade of a sword)

Shen Yan muttered his lines and walked towards the inside of the fortress, and the road was unimpeded.

It was about the time when the big war was approaching, and every soldier's mind was tightened, and no one was nosy at all.

Besides, there were about 100,000 soldiers gathered here, including imperial soldiers, support from various kingdoms, volunteers, and a large number of mercenaries. These people come from different paths, and their races are even more diverse—Shen Yan even saw an army composed purely of lizardmen—so complicated, it is simply impossible to achieve refined unified management!

Fortunately, this is a war between humans and demons, and some small differences don't matter, as long as it is clear who to fire at when the time comes.

Shen Yan walked all the way to the most gorgeous, cleanest and most core area of the barracks - class differences were everywhere, and important people must have lived in that area. Even on the battlefield, there will be countless people who think about how to squeeze in day and night.

However, when he arrived here, the inspection began to be strict, for example, Shen Yan was stopped by an officer...... His freshly soaked leather armor was a little awkward and out of place with his surroundings. But it didn't matter at this time, because not far behind the officer, there was a magician.

Shen Yan mobilized the magic power on his body and "bumped" into the magician.

"Magician?" The magician turned in surprise.

"Magician." Shen Yan nodded.

Shen Yan's magic vortex is almost 30 meters in diameter, while the legendary magician's magic vortex can even reach 10 kilometers in diameter! Within the scope of the Magic Vortex, it is considered the "domain" of magicians, in this area they can do some magical things without using magic. Of course, the closer you get to the mage, the higher the control, which decays with distance.

For example, Shen Yan can now pick up small things, push and pull others, and the like, most of which are used to play with Erica. And the punch displayed by the red dragon is also in this ranks.

The Wizard can turn off the Magic Vortex to hide his identity - but when the Magician turns on the Magic Vortex, he stands out as a torch in the eyes of another Magician! When Shen Yan said hello, he chose to use the magic vortex to hit it a thousand times better than to use words. Just by the mutual interference and collision of the magic vortex on the two bodies, they can confirm each other's identities. Then measure the diameter, and you can know the difference in strength on the basis.

Well, super convenient.

The officer who stopped him walked away with an embarrassed expression, and the magician came to Shen Yan.

He was obviously also curious about why Shen Yan was dressed so ...... Down, but good cultivation makes him not set his eyes on those for a long time. After all, unlike the other idiots who live in this camp, the group of magicians is noble because they are magicians, not the clothes on them.

"Welcome to join us...... Please come with me, I'm excited to be your introducer. I'm Terrence Gerald from the Winter Forest, and you can call me Terrence. If an officer can't remember the names of his men, he can proudly say, "We're a big boss!" "In the group of magicians, smart people are the main body, and forgetting is the standard. So from Terrence's tone, he was very sure that Shen Yan was not a member of the camp.

But the label on Shen Yan's body, sub-human (elf), took the initiative to show the magic vortex, the non-malicious nature of magic, and even took the initiative to come to the camp, etc., these are the reasons why he took the initiative to help. Oh, and they're short of people right now.

"Shen Yan, from...... Hmm, it's Shen Yan. "The Penglin Peninsula has not officially returned to the mainland, even if it does...... The status of the world and the relationship with the empire are all unknown. These factors are all chess pieces on the chessboard of the gods, and the only thing that Shen Yan needs to do is ...... Don't talk nonsense.

Just like the core skill thing, some things are not his turn to poke.

"There are a total of 82 mages in the camp, led by the archmage of the Harlan court, and this is the largest support of the Bronze Fortress in the history of the Association. Because according to prediction, this magic wave is also the largest in history. The mages are temporarily divided into four squadrons, and the number is a little lacking, how much can you come to balance the situation......" As he walked along, Terrence began to introduce the situation of the mage legion in detail.

A "legion" is only 82 people, but the consumption is at the level of a legion, which sounds a little uneconomical.

However, it is impossible for a group of magicians to engage in group combat - for example, at the same time, thousands of fireballs can be fired in a volley!

It can't be done, and the reason is simple. Unleashing magic requires the absorption and activation of mana in the environment in addition to its own magic - and the concentration of mana per unit area is limited, especially since this is only a demon world.

Five or six magicians cast spells in a row, and after a while, everyone's mana consumption became greatly increased, because they could not be replenished by the environment; Also, if too many fireballs are smashed in an area, the fireballs that fly into the area will only explode and not burn...... Because the mana that supports the burning of magical flames in this area has been depleted.

Of course, the magic is the ocean, and the depression on the surface of the water will be replenished quickly. Therefore, on a normal battlefield, the mages will be distributed on a fairly long front, supporting the battlefield in groups of two or three, and often moving positions. It is not uncommon for everyone to make way for a powerful magician to monopolize a battlefield within a radius of several hundred meters.

If you don't accept it, let's measure the diameter of the magic vortex!

Well, you talk big, that's it.

Terrence Gerald was happy because Shen Yan came at the right time, first of all, he could get together - 82 people had to remove 5 special archmages first, and then divide into 4 teams, and each team had to consider the strength and resources needed. It is very painful for him to be in charge of this matter, and when Shen Yan comes, he is equivalent to an extra weight that can "compensate" a certain team.

Secondly, although Shen Yan's strength is unknown, the diameter of the magic vortex is not too large - it will not crowd out other people's resources, which is even better!

So when Shen Yan said that he hadn't joined the Magic Association yet, Terrence also slapped his chest. "I'm here to recommend it to you!"

Of course, it is impossible for the Magic Association to work on the front line, and the line of fire will join. And he is a resolute person, he quickly went back to the room to write a letter of recommendation to join the association (maybe it was to let Shen Yan see the benefits), and even stamped the private seal of the archmage of the Harlan court! This is very awesome - unless it is the Imperial Pill, this letter of recommendation is enough for Shen Yan to join the Magic Association unimpeded.

Many people may say, isn't the Magic Guild the kind of thing that can be joined by just casting two spells at the porter? Hehe, you have to understand that any association is a group that divides interests, so why should you join the cake? The online writer opens his eyes to 6,000 words a day, does the association let you join?

"And ......," Terrence Gerald handed Shen Yan a parchment scroll with an official seal and said apologetically. I'm sorry, but I can't send you there personally because the big war is about to begin. Please report to the Fourth Magic Legion with this order, and your Legion Commander will arrange everything that rests. ”
