Chapter 329: Astarte's Crisis
New Calendar 2529.
Wren finished a batch of collar duties, stretched, and stood up from behind his desk.
He walked to the window and looked out at his territory, where the cold winter had passed, and the green grass had sprouted on the vast expanse, and the dry trees had regained their life.
"Spring has arrived!"
Wren muttered, and the commentary suddenly sounded in his head: "Spring is coming, everything is recovering, and it's the season for animal mating again......"
Before I knew it, I had entered my third year of coming to Ehrenus. The memories of the past life have become a little blurry, and they are also a little distant, as if they were another life.
Actually, it's a world apart!
"Alas, I can't go back......"
In all fairness, my life at Allenus was much better than in my previous life, more nourishing, more exciting, and more exciting. If there is an opportunity to return to Earth in front of me, I will definitely hesitate, but in the end I should refuse.
Wren shook his head, shook his head behind the inexplicable sadness, and left the window.
He walked out of his study all the way to the teleportation hall of the castle.
"Boss. ”
The two Ultramarines and the half-squad of Spear Winged Knights who were always guarding the teleportation array shouted in unison.
"Well, hard work. ”
After Wren responded, he stepped into the teleportation array, and teleported to Vajra Castle with a change of vision.
There were also two Ultramarines and Spearwing Knight guards here, and to their greetings, Wren walked through the passage and walked inside the fortress. Along the way, several gun-winged knights he met straightened their backs and saluted him respectfully.
Coming out of the fortress, a cold wind blew in my face.
Despite the fact that it was already spring, it was extremely cold on the Saine plateau, and half of the year was winter, and the gorge was covered in snow and snow.
Wren wrapped his blood-colored cloak slightly to block the cold wind, turned right and passed through the exit of the fortress wall and entered the martial arts training ground.
Just arrived at the door of the martial arts training ground.
He heard the sound of fighting coming from inside, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding, turned the wide corridor, and suddenly a huge martial arts training ground with an area of 10,000 square meters appeared in front of him.
The ground of the martial arts training ground is all paved with flat diamond rock, which is hard and durable.
At this moment, more than 200 spear-winged knights who did not patrol and stand guard were training hard in the martial arts training ground. They are divided into teams of ten people according to their own organization, and each team has an Ultramariner as an instructor, holding a long sword, or practicing with each other, or gathering around the Ultramarines to listen to the lectures.
This is Wren's arrangement.
In addition to practicing shooting, each of the Gunwing Knights must master an Imperial military swordsmanship, and the Ultramarines are the best instructors.
The whole clan of the Makulag people are masters of using swords, and the extreme warriors are even better, although they have not seriously learned the swordsmanship of the ** national army, but the swordsmanship is the same, after research, it is not difficult to guide the spear-winged knight who has just become a transcendent.
After almost three months of practice, the Lance Knights have made great progress.
Several of them, who are particularly talented in swordsmanship, have advanced by leaps and bounds, and if they only compete in swordsmanship, they are no longer weaker than their own instructors.
Wren stood at the door of the martial arts training ground, and many extreme warriors and spear-winged knights noticed his arrival, and their eyes couldn't help but look over.
However, Wren has repeatedly asked for strict discipline, and even he cannot affect training.
At first, they were not used to it, but after a few severe punishments, they finally got used to it and continued their training.
Wren's gaze swept over each of the spear-winged knights.
The Soul Eye records the status of each person, fills it in the database, and refreshes it.
Compared to a few months ago, the souls of all the Spear Knights have grown a lot, and the 'Dragon Blood Soul Refining Elixir' made from the blood of the green dragon has been released for two rounds. This rare soul refining elixir can take effect for more than half a month with a single bottle, and it is definitely one of the best cultivation elixirs for a Spear Wing Knight who is only a level one.
In addition to the dragon blood soul refining elixir, Wren was also not stingy in other aspects.
All kinds of potions to restore physical strength, energy and soul power, as if they didn't need money, let the spear-winged knights use them openly, and in just a few months, Wren invested more than 100,000 gold shields in the potions alone!
There is also equipment, each of which is equipped with a standard enchanted longsword.
Although the enchantment effect is only one "sharp", one handle also costs dozens of gold shields, plus a set of Seiko armor per person, even if there is no enchantment, one set is more than ten gold shields.
The most expensive is, of course, the submachine gun.
The magic alloy used to make submachine guns alone costs tens of thousands of gold shields, and the caseless bullets consumed by the Lance Knight's daily training and shooting are also a huge expense.
It can be said that in order to train a transcendent army of his own, Wren almost emptied all the money, and roughly calculated, the money invested has been more than 300,000 gold shields.
You must know that the silver-armored knights under the command of Duke Silver Star have a full 3,000 people, and the maintenance cost for a year is only about one million gold guilders.
But it's all worth it.
Wren checked the database in his mobile phone, three hundred spear wing knights, more than seventy percent, their soul strength has increased by more than half, and in two months, they should be able to enter the first soul ascension, and then fuse the new demon soul and rise to the second level.
The best dozen spear-winged knights are only one step away from ascending, and should be born in a few days.
For the second demon soul after the upgrade of the spear-winged knight, Wren also has eyebrows, but it has not yet been determined.
It takes a spear-winged knight to work with.
Wren looked into the training ground, his gaze falling on a knight of his age.
"Desen ......"
If nothing else, he should become the first second-tier Lance Wing Knight.
This young man from the Principality of Kemer has the most outstanding potential qualifications, not only is he the fastest in cultivation, but he also has an extremely high talent in swordsmanship.
At this time, Desen is armed with a long sword and is fighting an extreme warrior.
The extreme warrior who fought him was the pinnacle of the ninth level, and in terms of strength and speed, he was more than one level higher than Desen, and there was a world of difference between the two.
However, with the long sword in his hand, Desen perfectly played the advantages of the imperial army's swordsmanship, guarding the middle line in front of him, and his steps were steady, although he was almost broken through the defense many times, he was still narrowly blocked, and the scene was a little stalemate for a while.
When!when, when......
The two long swords collided intermittently, splashing sparks, and the sword shadows staggered between the two, and this sword competition attracted more and more people's attention.
Wren was also amazed to see it.
He remembered the sword competition he had with Master Roger the year before last, and he also relied on the imperial military swordsmanship, and held it under the offensive of Master Roger, and finally ended in a draw.
However, he used a mobile phone gyroscope and soul eyes at the time, and Desen had nothing.
If it was purely a talent for swordsmanship, Desen might be even higher.
Under Wren's gaze, the extreme warrior couldn't attack for a long time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but speed up the pace of the attack, and his strength increased unconsciously, making Desen very embarrassed to deal with it.
Wren found out about this, but didn't stop it.
The difference in strength between the two is too big, but Desen miraculously held on for half a minute, faltering, but he can always recover at a critical moment.
When!
Suddenly there was a bang, and the long sword in Desen's hand broke in two, and the Ultramarines were stunned for a moment.
Desen seemed to have expected this, taking advantage of the opponent's stunned opportunity, he rushed forward, leaving only half of the hilt of the sword to hit the extreme warrior's abdomen, slashing lightly, but not causing any wounds. With the defense of the Ultramarine, even if he stands still and is beaten, it will be difficult for Desen to break the defense.
By the time the Ultramarines came back to their senses, it was too late to resist.
"Instructor, I agreed. ”
Desen didn't have the slightest color on his face, panting and wiping the sweat from his head.
The extreme warrior on the opposite side was a little ashamed in his heart, he had already lost this sword competition. In fact, he is not good at imperial military swordsmanship, his usual weapon is a giant sword, and he is not used to using a long sword, but if he loses, he loses, and there is no excuse.
"You won. The Ultra Warrior said with a complicated expression: "In swordsmanship, I have nothing to teach you. ”
"It's all the instructors who teach well. Dessen looked modest.
Bang Bang Bang!
Wren clapped his palms and walked over with a smile: "You two don't have to push, this is a wonderful sword battle, there is no winning or losing." ”
"Your Excellency. Desen and the Ultramarines, as well as a group of spear-winged knights around them, hurriedly saluted.
"Give me the sword. ”
Wren took the half-cut hilt of the sword from Desen's hand, picked up the tip of the sword on the ground, put it together, activated the activated metal, and instantly restored it to its original state.
"Thank you, sir. Desen was very grateful, this is his matching sword, usually very cherished, I didn't feel it when it was broken just now, but I was very distressed afterwards.
"Well, keep up the good work. Wren gave him a few words of commendation.
He found himself here, which would always affect their training, so it didn't last long.
As soon as he walked out of the martial arts training ground, an extreme warrior hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Wren, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Boss, the patriarch sent a message from Astarte." ”
The patriarch in the mouth of the ultramarines is naturally Marius of Macurag.
Since the two sides formed an alliance last year, Wren has purchased a batch of microphones from Modu and placed them in Astarte and Fort Kong, respectively, so that they can easily communicate with each other.
During this period, there were also Ultramarines who returned to the clan, but they have been uneventful.
"What's the news?" Wren asked.
The Ultramarines handed over the microphone, he pressed it, and Marius's voice came out, "Your Excellency, Astarte has been attacked by the enemy, and this time the situation is very serious, please come to Astarte to discuss countermeasures." ”
Wren frowned.
For hundreds of years, Astarte has been attacked by other forces on the plateau almost every year, and it has long been accustomed to it.
With Marius's pride, he would never ask for help until he had to.
can be described as serious, it can be seen that the matter is indeed not small.
Wren glanced back at the training grounds, thinking to himself that this might not be a bad thing, if Astarte was attacked, it would be just the right time for the Spearwing Knights to hone in real combat.
Transcendents who have not seen blood are useless even if their training performance is good.
Wren replied to the voice watch, "Patriarch Marius, I'll be there soon. ”
He called the third team of Ultramarines and beckoned outside the fortress, and suddenly several fiery dragons flew out of the cave in the rock wall, swooped into the canyon, and landed in front of him.
Everyone jumped on the back of the wyvern, and immediately took off into the air and flew out of the canyon.
As he passed through the cavern on the rock wall, Wren's gaze swept inside, and there were more than a dozen fiery dragons inhabiting it.
In the past few months, the Ultramarines have regularly searched the plateau of Sain, found the lair of three fire dragons, and then returned to tell Wren to go to tame.
At present, all the fire dragons combined, there are more than twenty.
One out of every three Ultramarines has their own Wyvern mount, which grants the Fire Affinity element.
Wren found a meditation method from the Troll tribe and shamans from the Great Library of Wizeland, and gave it to the Ultramarines, some of whom were already able to cast fire spells simply.
The Kongo Fort is less than two hundred miles from Astarte.
The fiery dragon had only been flying for a little more than an hour when a majestic staircase-like city appeared in front of it.
Wren looked far away, the plateau was still covered with heavy snow, and his vision was blocked, and he did not find any hordes of enemies.
The fiery dragon landed on the temple platform at the highest point in Astarte.
"Your Excellency, the Earl. ”
Marius was already waiting here, and in the cold winter, he was dressed in thick fur, but he could not hide his strong body.
Wren stepped forward to shake his hand and asked directly, "Patriarch Marius, is something wrong?"
"Count, please come with me. ”
Marius's face was not good-looking, and he led Wren and the Ultramarines down to the fourth floor of Astarte and entered a stone courtyard.
The courtyard was guarded by the Maculags, and anger was written on everyone's face and eyes.
Wren saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground.
It's all Makulag.
Wren immediately felt that the extreme warriors who were following behind him also became irritable and heard their hearts.
The population of the Makulag tribe was already small, with a total of only more than 3,000 people, and more than a dozen died at once, which was definitely a big loss.
"What's going on?" Wren asked.
As he questioned, he examined the corpses of the Maculags, and found some clues.
These makulags have been subjected to a variety of attacks, ranging from spell damage, to beast bites, to spear piercing and weapon slashing.
Judging from the way they were dressed, they should have been out hunting, and they were suddenly attacked, and they were soon wiped out.
With the strength of the Maculags, a dozen people would not be killed so easily on the Seine Plateau unless they encountered a huge number of enemies.
Sure enough, Marius said in a deep voice: "This is our hunting party, which set out in the morning and found the body not far from Astarte in the afternoon. I went to the scene and examined the footprints, mainly by the gray lizard cavalry of the Doraks, and the troll shamans of the Bloodspear tribe, who were ready to make a move on Astarte. ”
